With the Sky Island Orchard auction concluded, this auction event has now come to a complete end.
The host, Gui, personally came to Xia Tianqiong's private room.
"Honorable guest, we are temporarily unable to hand over the Sky Island Orchard to you due to the installation of a Void Folding Array. We hope you understand."
Xia Tianqiong didn't think much of it and asked, "How long will it take?"
"About two days."
Two days?
Xia Tianqiong frowned. The original plan was to leave here today and head to the next travel destination.
Turning to look at Manager Hu sitting in the chair, she asked, "Manager Hu, could you stay a couple more days?"
"No problem, you're in charge of this trip."
Manager Hu smiled nonchalantly, “I just ran into a few old clients. They invited me for tea yesterday, but I declined. I’ll stay a couple more days and have a little get-together with them.”
"Okay, you go ahead and do your thing. I'd like to explore the island some more."
After Xia Tianqiong finished speaking, he took out a ghost banknote with a face value of two billion from the gold notes and handed it to the presiding ghost.
The abbot then took out a small, exquisite wooden box, about the size of a palm. After opening it, a wisp of green smoke drifted out and transformed into a six- or seven-year-old boy.
Its body is semi-transparent, floating in the air.
It seemed that even a gentle breeze could blow it away.
"The Sky Island Orchard is shrouded in a floating array. This is the core of the array, also known as the Array Trick. By forming a contract with it, you can control the array on the island and thus own the Sky Island Orchard."
However, installing the Void Folding Array requires its assistance. After you sign the contract with it, I need to take it with me first, and then hand it over to you once the array is installed.
The host explained from the side.
Xia Tianqiong didn't think much of it. After signing the Human Lord Contract with the Array Demon, he let the other party take the Array Demon away.
With Manager Hu around, he wasn't worried about the other party reneging on their promises.
The auction ended at noon.
Hundreds of strange figures were leaving the venue one after another. Xia Tianqiong and Manager Hu also left the private room and prepared to return to the restaurant.
Just after leaving the private room, I encountered some strange occurrences from other private rooms in the VIP passage.
Two of them were Manager Hu's long-time clients, and they came up to greet him.
"Manager Hu, it's been a long time! Let's have lunch together! And this human friend, please come along too!"
Manager Hu did not reply, but looked at Xia Tianqiong with a questioning gaze.
Xia Tianqiong was looking for an opportunity to get rid of Manager Hu so she could follow the Tree Ghost Clan, so she quickly refused.
"I won't go, Manager Hu. Since you've run into your old friend, you two can have your get-together. I'll head back to the restaurant first."
Manager Hu naturally had no objection. "Alright, don't leave this floating island for the next two days, otherwise I won't be able to appear in time if what happened yesterday happens again."
"Yes, I know."
Xia Tianqiong bid farewell to Manager Hu and left quickly alone along the private passage.
As they reached a deserted bend, a figure suddenly emerged from within them.
This was a middle-aged man with long hair, who had a somewhat artistic air about him. He glanced around and then disappeared on the spot.
Xia Tianqiong continued walking out along the passage.
The middle-aged man teleported into the auction venue. At this moment, many strange beings were rushing towards the exit, creating chaos. No one noticed the man who had suddenly appeared.
He is actually Xia Tianqiong's true form.
However, it used a face-changing technique to transform into the appearance of a ghost.
Not only facial features, but also clothes and body shape have been transformed into bizarre shapes.
This face-changing technique should be called a transformation technique, which would be more appropriate.
Only by becoming someone you've seen can you become more real, so I chose to paint ghosts with a rougher appearance.
At the same time, he also had the golden toad attach itself to his body, deliberately emitting a sinister aura.
This way, other supernatural beings won't realize he's human, but will instead see him as just another ordinary evil supernatural being.
As for the "Xia Tianqiong" in the special passage, it was a substitute created using the paper doll substitution technique.
This substitute is much more useful than the mirror image clone.
Within a kilometer radius, it can be manipulated at will with the mind, almost indistinguishable from a real person, and it's like having an eye inserted, allowing one to see scenes from other places.
The only drawback is that the Stand cannot use trickery.
Xia Tianqiong did this for two reasons: first, to track down the Tree Demon Clan and find an opportunity to rob them.
Secondly, it was to establish an alibi so that if he suddenly disappeared, people would suspect him.
A dozen or so Tree Demons were heading towards the exit of the venue, and none of them looked too good.
Leng Manjin just sent his men to look for them.
The items that Leng Manjin had bid 20 million for were all taken away, but a commission was also paid to them.
There were over a million yuan in ghost money.
But they weren't happy.
They wanted to return the "Changing Ghost Pool" to the Leng family, but were refused.
This strange artifact, which is of little use to them, is essentially a liability. Even if they were to put it up for auction again, it would be difficult to fetch a high price of 20 million.
They tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead; that's exactly what they were talking about.
"I'm so angry! I'm going to get my revenge tonight."
Sister Tao looked up at the island floating in the sky, her eyes hardening, her thoughts unreadable.
"He's so rich, should we ask him to lend us some money?"
The walnut tree spirit spoke in a low voice, and the group of tree spirits around it were all a little tempted.
They tacitly agreed that what they called "borrowing money" was actually a euphemism for robbery.
Sister Tao narrowed her eyes, then suddenly gave a cold laugh, "Let's talk about it when we get back. This isn't the place to discuss this!"
They were unaware that the people they were about to rob were walking not far ahead.
Xia Tianqiong deliberately walked in front of the Tree Demon Clan, keeping a distance of twenty or thirty meters, neither too far nor too close.
