Chapter 317 Robbery and Murder, Red Maple Market (1/2)

Chen Pingan had two main goals in this trip to the Beicang Auction.

One was to sell the treasures he had on him anonymously, such as the mandarin duck double swords from Guan Yuping, the black long sword from Xing Rongzi, and the Qinghong sword from Fang Qixian. In addition, there were also sharp blades seized from Wan Yuanze and Ding Tong, the tower-holding hand.

These things were useless to him. Besides taking up space, he had to keep them in his mind.

So he took this opportunity to sell them all at once.

The Beicang Auction was grand in scale, and selling off a few treasures and sharp blades was not very impressive.

If all these things were sold, he should be able to earn fifty or sixty Yuan crystals. Counting the gains from the Yin Jie Sword and some gifts he received later, his net worth should be around seventy Yuan crystals.

However, these net worth did not include his exquisite treasure, the Earth Crocodile Golden Flame Blade.

This blade alone was worth more than the above number.

Speaking of which, although the Earth Crocodile Golden Flame Blade cannot be said to be useless to Chen Pingan now, its effect is limited overall. For him, the role of this fine treasure as a facade is far greater than its substance.

He used the Earth Crocodile Golden Flame Blade to perform the secret technique of the Gale Sword Technique and the Gale Quick Sword Slash. Even with the magic of the fine treasure, in terms of power, there is still a big gap from the power of the divine skill secret technique Lihuo Finger.

After all, the gap between superior skills and divine skills cannot be crossed by a fine treasure.

Divine weapons are almost the same!

"However, it is also good to have a fine treasure, which can also be used as an ordinary means on the surface."

In terms of means, Chen Pingan, who performs finger techniques, is far better than him who performs sword techniques or sword techniques and palm techniques!

And Chen Pingan, who is truly fully combat-capable, uses all his strength to activate the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art and transform into the indestructible little giant form of the golden man. At that time, he was in the peak state that could really entangle with the master.

"My strength has improved too fast, and external things can't keep up!" Chen Ping'an couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Normal people wouldn't have such troubles as him. He had just prepared a new weapon, and in the blink of an eye, he couldn't keep up!

Like at the beginning, an ordinary police sword was enough for him. But it wasn't long before he needed to use the sharp blade Baiwen Knife. Then the fine sharp blade Yanling Knife, and then the treasure... until the fine treasure, the Earth Crocodile Golden Flame Knife!

"With this speed, I don't need to seek any quasi-divine weapons now. Even if I get it, I'm afraid it won't take long and will be eliminated soon."

"Just do it in one step and find a way to get a divine weapon directly!"

Thinking of this, Chen Ping'an couldn't help but smile. However, this is just a joke.

Divine weapons are indestructible, how rare!

Most of the masters can only have one quasi-divine weapon as their main weapon.

If it is a real divine weapon, even the master will be jealous and will not hesitate to take action for it!

If Chen Pingan wants a magic weapon, he must compete with the master!

However, fortunately, Chen Pingan is now practicing two great magic skills, and he does not have too much desire for weapons. He can save a lot of things.

For Chen Pingan, the most important thing is the practice of the skills, which is the core source of his continuous improvement in martial arts.

Judging from his current martial arts realm, the effect of ordinary skills on him is already negligible, which can be said to be equivalent to chicken ribs. If you want to really get help, you must at least be at the level of magic skills.

Therefore, Chen Pingan’s second purpose is to obtain a magic skill. Now that his Vajra Indestructible Magic Skill has been perfected, and the Three-point Human Tribulation Finger is not too far from perfection, he urgently needs a new magic skill as a resource foundation.

Judging from his current wealth, it is probably unlikely to obtain a magic skill through an auction.

But now in the important town of Beicang, there are many masters, and there are masters of evil ways and magic ways. It is hard to guarantee that there will be no evil intentions. If someone wants to make trouble, then he can take advantage of the situation and get some benefits.

Even if he doesn't encounter the right opportunity and doesn't get any benefits, it doesn't matter. Just try your luck. It's good to understand your strength and position through actual combat. After all, all the judgments now are based on his own considerations and have not been tested in actual combat.

In addition, there may be a master appearing in the Beicang auction, and he has the opportunity to see the master's style.

With this idea, Chen Pingan soon prepared to set off and go to the important town of Beicang.

With his order, the Wufeng Mountain Town Pacification Office quickly prepared a carriage for him. In addition, there were more than a dozen elites accompanying him.

Just as Chen Pingan was about to leave Wufeng Mountain City, a fast horse entered the city overnight and brought the latest news of the inspection of the outer perimeter of the trade route.

"I, You Yongming, meet the commander!" A man in black with a resolute face quickly stepped into the hall, knelt on one knee, and his voice was sonorous and powerful.

"Get up!" Chen Pingan sat on the big chair in the main hall and spoke lightly.

At the beginning, he had just been transferred to the outer part of the trade route and served as the deputy inspector. Among the many general flags stationed in Wufeng Mountain, You Yongming was the one who supported him the most.

Chen Pingan paid a lot of money to buy bones, and after the Tianluo Sect was wiped out, he specially reported his merits. The Weishui Pacification Office gave him a commendation, and now You Yongming is the deputy stationed, the commander-in-chief candidate level. He is also one of Chen Pingan's confidants.

Although Chen Pingan was not at the Wufeng Mountain City station these days, You Yongming often reported on the events outside the trade route and the situation inside the station. All the relevant matters were under Chen Pingan's control.

"Yes, sir!" You Yongming shouted in response and stood up. "Sir, I have important information!"

"A vicious incident of caravan robbery and killing occurred outside the trade route! A small caravan from Liyang County was robbed in the area of ​​Hongfeng Mountain, and dozens of caravan members died tragically on the spot! The situation affected the surrounding Hongfeng Market. According to reliable information, it should be the work of the Wanmo Sect thieves!"

"Wanmo Sect?" Chen Pingan's eyes flashed and fell on You Yongming.

You Yongming showed respect on his face and answered straightforwardly: "To answer your question, from the traces at the scene and the corresponding intelligence analysis, it can be judged that the robbers are from the Wanmo Sect. In addition, there is a Xuanguan Realm in the caravan. But he also failed to escape and died tragically on the spot. According to the traces of the battle at the scene, it is suspected that there are several Xuanguan Realm among the Wanmo Sect thieves!"

Chen Ping'an had heard of caravan robberies before, but they did not happen in the area under his jurisdiction. But now, this caravan robbery happened just outside the trade route, in the area of ​​Hongfeng Mountain, and the situation was so bad that dozens of people in the caravan died tragically.

Once this happened, if there was no proper handling result afterwards, it would have an extremely bad impact on the surrounding areas and the caravans coming and going.

In theory, as an inspector of the outer periphery of the trade route, he has some jurisdictional responsibilities. But since it involves the Wanmo Sect, the Weishui Zhenfu Division or the Qiankun Division should really consider handling this matter!

He was about to leave for the important town of Beicang. If he dealt with this matter, he might delay the Beicang auction. But...

"The Ten Thousand Demons Sect!"

The candlelight in the hall flickered, reflecting on Chen Ping'an's face, leaving a mottled shadow. Chen Ping'an's expression seemed a little unclear. He raised his head slightly, and somehow, he thought of Old Chen.

After a long time, a voice sounded in the main hall.

"Send the order down, prepare the luggage, and follow me to Hongfeng Mountain!"

"Yes!"

...

It was late at night, and the gate of Wufeng Mountain City had already fallen, but under the urgent order of the Pacification Department, it was hurriedly opened. A group of more than ten riders left Wufeng Mountain City overnight under the cover of night.

Chen Ping'an left Wufeng Mountain City and galloped all the way to Hongfeng Mountain. At the same time, his urgent order was also sent from Wufeng Mountain City to Wufeng Mountain Station, ordering Wufeng Mountain patrol officers to strengthen patrol power, be fully alert, and focus on some areas to prevent the Wanmo Sect thieves from causing chaos again.

The news that the Wanmo Sect thieves appeared in the Hongfeng Mountain area and robbed and killed dozens of caravans without any escape was also quickly spread to the ears of Weishui Zhenfu Division and Qiankun Division.

However, when they received the news, Chen Pingan rushed to the Hongfeng Mountain area outside the trade route. As a territorial garrison, he has a natural location advantage in terms of message transmission.

A dozen riders galloped and rushed to the vicinity of Hongfeng Mountain. When they arrived, it was already bright. You Yongming rode on a tall horse and bowed respectfully to Chen Pingan.

"Sir, this is it."

Chen Pingan's eyes condensed, turned over and dismounted, and looked around. The surrounding dry mountains and rocks, although there is an official road, but the overall situation is a bit desolate.

At this time, the bodies of the people who died tragically in the caravan had been dealt with, but the traces of the robbery and killing by the Wanmojiao thieves had not been completely removed. The surrounding area can be said to be a mess, with dark and dried blood everywhere.

"Tell me about the specific situation at that time!"

"Yes!" You Yongming responded respectfully.

He had briefly explained the general situation to Chen Pingan on the way. But the specific situation still needs to be described on the spot to be clearer.

With You Yongming's narration, Chen Pingan quickly understood the cause and effect of the matter.

This caravan came from Dihuo County, passed through Weishui County, and rested for a while in the surrounding Hongfeng Market, intending to go to Qinglingzhou for trade through Long'an Business Road. The scale of the caravan is not too large, with only one Xuanguan Realm master in charge.

If it were usual, a caravan of this size would naturally not be qualified to trade between the two states. Not to mention the journey, but the monsters in the Canglong Mountains are not something they can deal with. Even if they were lucky enough to pass through the mountains, many goods would probably have to stay in the mountains.

But now is different from the past. The Long'an Trade Road has been officially put into operation. The monsters along the way have been cleared on a large scale. Even if the caravan is of average size, it is qualified to trade between the two states.

I believe that the organizer of the caravan came here with excitement and excitement, imagining the benefits of this trip. However, I never thought... I would encounter such a thing!

I actually met the thieves of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect here!

"Where did the thieves of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect go after attacking the caravan? Are there any traces of them?" Chen Pingan asked.

"Sir, it was too late when we received the news. We lost the best opportunity to track the thieves of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect!" You Yongming said with his head down.

"Yes." Chen Pingan nodded. He had expected this. If the Ten Thousand Demons Sect was so easy to track, they would have wiped out the Ten Thousand Demons Sect long ago.

"Let's go to the Red Maple Market!" Chen Pingan jumped on his horse and waved his hand gently.

The largest market in the Red Maple Mountain area is the Red Maple Market. The caravan was resting there before being robbed and killed! It just so happens that this place is not far from the Red Maple Market, so it is quite convenient to go there. If we go there, we might find something!

"Yes!" You Yongming responded.

The horses galloped, and a group of more than ten people headed towards the Red Maple Market.

......

When Chen Ping'an went to the Red Maple Market, Li Pingjiang had just rushed to Wufeng Mountain City from the Wufeng Mountain Station.

"Chen Ping'an, I don't care how you hide, tonight is your death."

Li Pingjiang, wearing a black shirt and a bamboo hat, stepped into Wufeng Mountain City. He had made up his mind to kill Chen Ping'an overnight after finding out where he lived! He didn't care about this even if he had to take some risks.

This matter has been delayed for too long! If it goes on like this, the old man Qi Jue might be dissatisfied with him.

"After killing Chen Ping'an, I will go to the Beicang Auction!"

Li Pingjiang's eyes flashed, and he walked into the nearest wine shop. He wanted to inquire about the news here.

......

The Red Maple Market is at the foot of the Red Maple Mountain, backed by the mountains, and the surrounding environment is quite pleasant. Although it is a market, it occupies a large area, almost equivalent to a large village.

Although the big markets and bazaars outside the city do not look so beautiful, sometimes the things sold there are not necessarily worse than the treasure pavilions in the city.

In fact, due to the lack of supervision, these places often have things that the inner treasure pavilions do not have. Moreover, some large black markets are hidden behind these big markets and bazaars.

Of course, this information cannot be put on the table.

In short, the Red Maple Market has all kinds of people. The interests are intertwined, and the overall ecological situation is not much simpler than the so-called city.

Like the power structure in the Red Maple Market, when Chen Pingan was familiar with the situation outside the trade route, he had read special archives and intelligence.

The main forces in the Red Maple Market are mainly three families, the Huang family, a family born and raised around the Red Maple Mountain, the store alliance of the community of interests in the market, and a large gang, the Iron Fence Gang.

Well, the Iron Fence Gang is the official name for it. In fact, according to his internal name, it is called the Iron Fence Escort Company. Mainly to provide escorts and guards for some forces or individuals.

The three major forces are entrenched in the Red Maple Market, while protecting huge interests, absorbing nutrients from it to support themselves.

After receiving the news from the outer patrol envoy of the trade route that Chen Ping'an was about to arrive at the Red Maple Market, the leaders of the three major forces in the market trembled in their hearts and looked panicked.

"Why did this great god come here in person?"
