Chapter 2142 Encirclement
(4, 0);
Thinking of the gentle attitude of the "King" towards him when he was the pride of the tribe, and now slandering him as a fugitive, Modo couldn't help but feel a little indignant.
Lin Yue, who was standing by, patted his shoulder and said, "The mission is more important. If possible, we don't want to conflict with the people here."
"I understand." Mordo nodded heavily.
Modo knew that Lin Yue and the others had rescued him before, and he already owed them a huge favor. It was not logical or reasonable to ask them to avenge him against the Multi-Armed Tribe.
Moreover, the strength that Lin Yue had shown before was only the strength that crushed a group of lords at the Immortal Venerable level. Even though he could be called strong, he did not think that Lin Yue would be a match for the "King". After all, he was a quasi-emperor-level supreme being...
After adjusting his mood, Modo regained his firm gaze.
He looked at the street in front of him and said, "Next, we will look for the mimicry potion. As far as I know, the largest auction house in the capital has been dumping this potion, so they must have a large amount of stock."
Hearing this, Yuan Cheng immediately frowned and asked, "Auction house? Do we have to wait until the auction starts before we can get them?"
Not to mention how long it takes to wait for the auction to start, just participating in the auction involves huge risks.
Feeling the questioning looks from several people, Modo quickly began to explain.
"My fellow Taoists, you have misunderstood. I have developed a lot of relationships in the capital over the years. One of my good friends is the manager of that auction house. I plan to ask him for some mimicry potions."
Lin Yue calmly asked, "Okay, but you have a high bounty on you now. Are you sure he won't leak the secret to others?"
"Of course not! I can be sure of this because I was able to escape from the capital thanks to him tipping me off in advance!"
Modo patted his chest and said confidently.
"good."
Lin Yue and the other two looked at each other, nodded, and followed Modo to the auction house.
Because they all concealed themselves, Modo's true identity was not discovered by people on the road.
In this way, they arrived at the auction house without any hindrance.
As soon as he entered the door, Modo grabbed the maid who came to greet them and whispered a few words.
"Please wait a moment, sir."
The maid nodded respectfully, turned and walked towards a corridor.
Modo, Lin Yue and others were arranged in a rest area and waited quietly.
Not long after, the maid came back and spoke to them in a low voice, very respectfully.
"Dear guests, please follow me. Steward Liu is waiting for you in the inner room."
"Okay, let's go."
Modo was delighted when he heard this. His good friend was indeed willing to help him.
Only Lin Yue looked at the trembling calves of the maid leading the way in front of him, with a thoughtful expression.
It seems that Modo's good friend is not as reliable as he imagined...
However, Lin Yue did not intend to act rashly, because this was the most convenient way for them to obtain the mimicry potion.
After passing through long corridors, everyone finally arrived at the door of an inconspicuous room.
"Manager Liu is inside. I will take my leave first..."
The maid lowered her head so that her expression could not be seen. After saying this, she turned around and disappeared around the corner.
Modo didn't doubt it and just raised his hand and pushed open the door.
Inside the room, a middle-aged man with a pale and listless look was sitting at the table.
After seeing him, Modo immediately laughed and said, "Brother Liu, long time no see!"
"I haven't thanked you for what I did last time, and I'm sorry to bother you again this time!"
The middle-aged man whom he called Brother Liu's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he still forced a smile and said.
"Brother Modo, what are you talking about? We have been brothers for so many years, and I can't just sit there and watch you get into trouble!"
After saying this, he turned his gaze to Lin Yue and the others and asked with some confusion.
“Who are these people…?”
With his many years of experience as a manager in this auction house, he could tell at a glance from the temperament of the three people that they were not simple people.
"Oh! They are my saviors. If they hadn't helped me this time, I might not have come back alive..." Modo said with emotion, and then asked in surprise.
"Brother Liu, I see that you don't look very well..."
The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this, but he immediately explained, "Something happened at the auction house these days. Forget it, let's not talk about it. Brother Modo, why are you here today?"
"I want a few copies of the mimicry potion. I wonder if Brother Liu can help me with the process. I'll pay according to the last auction price."
"Mimicry potion..."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man seemed a little surprised. He didn't expect that Modo came here just to get this thing, but he still nodded in response.
"No problem, forget about the money, we are brothers..."
Before he finished speaking, the expressions of Lin Yue and the other two standing in the corridor suddenly changed. (5,0);
"A group of people are coming here!" Yuan Cheng said quickly.
Qing Bingying's words at the side also verified this statement.
"This group of people are very fast and seem to be quite powerful. They will soon be near us."
Hearing their words, Modo looked very surprised.
"How... is this possible? We never revealed our true identities during this journey!"
At this moment, Lin Yue looked at the middle-aged man and uttered two words lightly.
"It's him."
As soon as these words came out, without waiting for the middle-aged man to react, Modo immediately rejected them.
"Impossible! How could Brother Liu betray me...?"
But when his eyes noticed the embarrassment in the middle-aged man's expression, he froze in place.
"Brother Liu... is it really you? Why are you doing this!?"
At this time, the owner of the footsteps also rushed into the corridors on both sides. They were a group of sword-wielding guards wearing bronze armor. They surrounded everyone like a tide.
Noticing the appearance of these guards, the middle-aged man finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Modo and said.
"Brother Modo, to be honest, ever since I tipped you off last time, I've been noticed by the people in the palace. They've already traced the clues and pinned the suspicion on me. If I help you again this time, I'll really die without a burial place..."
Snap, snap, snap——
There were several loud claps from the side.
A man in golden armor walked out of the crowd and approached Modo and Lin Yue with a faint smile on his face.
"Well said, Manager Liu! Thanks to the information you provided this time, I can forgive your previous mistakes."
Hearing the man's voice, the middle-aged man immediately looked over and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
