Chapter 36 Undercurrent

At dusk, the setting sun was about to fall, and the sky not far away had been stained with a deep night color.

In the western corner of Jiatai Market, the underground auction had also ended.

The auction usually started at noon and ended at dusk.

After it ended, it was close to dusk. At this time, it was much more convenient for monks to escape or track.

Obviously, this was a means for the auction to retain regular customers.

After all, only when the monks get enough benefits here will they come here continuously.

As for what means and methods are used, and how much killing and calculation are caused, it is not the auction's business.

After all, I am a serious business. If something goes wrong, it is your own problem, what does it have to do with me?

At this moment, on a street not far from the auction, a team of guard monks from the market were patrolling, but they were suddenly blocked by someone.

"Who dares..." The captain of the patrol team saw this scene and was about to scold, but suddenly froze, and hurriedly led people to kneel on one knee.

"Meet the disciples of the upper sect!"

Because the other party directly took out a piece of green and dripping spiritual leaf, which exuded a faint green light and contained a spiritual pressure that frightened them.

This is the identity card of Qingyun Sect, and the strange phenomenon on it shows that the other party is either a powerful elder in the foundation-building period or a true disciple with a bright future.

No matter which one it is, they must treat it seriously!

"I am Zhang Zhiming, a true disciple of Qingyun Sect. I order in the name of the true disciple to send a signal immediately to summon the monks to block all areas west of the market. No one is allowed to leave or approach. If there is a violation, he will be killed on the spot!" The person who came was the blue-clothed monk in the auction.

As soon as the auction ended, he immediately left the venue, found the market patrol team, and gave an order.

"This..." The captain in charge was a little confused. You know, blocking the market, even if it is just an area, the manpower, material resources consumed and the impact caused are not a trivial matter!

"If there is any problem, I will take full responsibility. But if you make mistakes..." Seeing that the other party did not act immediately, Zhang Zhiming's face suddenly darkened, and a fierce aura emanated from his body.

"Yes! Yes!" Sensing a murderous intention, the patrol captain could not help but be alert, and immediately came to his senses and sent a signal.

The other party is his superior, and his strength is stronger than his. If he hesitates and makes mistakes, he will probably kill him without hesitation!

"Humph!" Zhang Zhiming snorted coldly, turned around and said, "Junior brother, take my token and immediately go to find the foundation-building elder who manages the market, tell him about this, and let him immediately block the auction and take down the person in charge!"

"What about you, senior brother?"

"The secret method of the foundation-building period is related to the rule of our sect, and it must not be passed on. No matter who gets it, he must be killed!" Zhang Zhiming did not answer, but looked at the auction, with a cold murderous intent in his eyes.

At the same time, in a secret room of the underground auction venue, Zhao Ming stood respectfully in front of an old man.

Although the old man was old, he was energetic, with white hair and a youthful face, and his every move was full of the temperament of a person who had been in a high position for a long time.

Obviously, he was the real mastermind behind the auction, a foundation-building cultivator in the East China Sea Loose Cultivator Alliance.

"Are you ready?" the old man asked.

"Replying to Elder Situ, everything has been packed and we can set off immediately." Zhao Ming replied respectfully.

"Okay, leave the secret passage immediately. Take away all the spirit stones and treasures, and deal with all irrelevant people to avoid exposing our whereabouts." The old man said lightly.

"After going out, take the flying boat back to the alliance immediately, and there must be no delay in the middle!... What, is there any other problem?" Seeing the slightly hesitant expression on Zhao Ming's face, the old man turned around and asked.

"This..." Zhao Ming looked at the calm face of the old man, gritted his teeth and asked, "There is something I don't understand."

"Speak."

"Controlling the opportunity for cultivators outside the three major forces to obtain foundation building is a rule jointly formulated by us and the two sects of righteousness and evil. Why do we have to violate it unilaterally? And... so that we have to give up this auction, elder, you know..."

To be honest, Zhao Ming is not concerned about the foundation building secret method, he cares about this auction, after all, this is the result of his years of hard work, and he just gave it up?

"This is not something you should know, go down!" The old man looked at him coldly.

"Yes." Zhao Ming's hands clenched, but he still lowered his head and responded.

"Alas, it's a troubled time!" After Zhao Ming walked out of the room, the old man sighed.

This sale of the foundation building secret method was not a suggestion from the loose cultivator alliance, but a decision made by the Situ family, a golden elixir family in their alliance.

As for the fact that doing so would offend the Qingyun Sect, he knew it, but he had to do it.

The ancestor of their Situ family was seriously injured in a fight with others in the past, which damaged his foundation. In the early years, he lost a lot of life because of a mistake in his cultivation method. Today, he is about to die.

However, the strongest foundation-building cultivator of the Situ family has little chance of breaking through the Golden Core Stage. In the Lingnan cultivation world where cultivation resources are scarce, it is difficult to find third-level spiritual objects, let alone spiritual objects that help to form a pill.

Just when the situation was further deteriorating, Xuanyin Sect got the news by some unknown means and proposed a deal.

The content of the transaction is that Xuanyin Sect uses a Jindan spiritual object as a reward and requires the Situ family to use various means to widely spread a foundation-building secret method in the Qingyun Sect area.

And that foundation-building secret method is exactly what they just auctioned - the spiritual blood foundation-building method!

"Cooperating with the demons is simply seeking the skin of a tiger, but now that things have come to this, our Situ family has no choice but to do so. I just hope that we can survive this difficult time..." The old man raised his head with a dim look in his eyes.

Jindan spiritual objects are extremely precious even in Xuanyin Sect. Since the other party is willing to take them out for trading, they must be asking for a lot.

Although it is unclear what the other party's purpose is. But the old man is old and wise. According to the current situation, he can naturally see that the two major sects of Qingyun and Xuanyin Sect seem to be calm on the surface, but there are constant disputes in the interior.

If it continues to evolve, it is very likely to develop into a war that affects the entire Lingnan Xiuxian land!

However, the Situ family is in danger now. If they cannot produce a Jindan cultivator before the ancestor passes away, they will probably suffer a catastrophe and naturally cannot care about the future.

"Hmm?" The old man paused for an unknown reason, as if he sensed something. He looked up and seemed to see the bright fireworks in the sky even though he was underground. "Is this a communication signal? The two little guys from Qingyun Sect are really decisive."

The old man smiled lightly, but it was fleeting. His face instantly became solemn and solemn, and his body exuded a sense of majesty belonging to a superior.

He did not open his mouth, but his voice appeared in the ears of every specific person.

"Pass on my order, everyone evacuates from the secret passage immediately, quickly, and anyone who delays will be killed without mercy!"

"Is this a communication fireworks from Qingyun Sect?!" In a house, the uncle and nephew of the Chen family saw this scene and their faces changed slightly.

Although they left the underground auction, they were still nearby and still in the blockade area of ​​Qingyun Sect!

"Uncle, what should we do?" the young man asked anxiously.

"According to my plan. The people who followed us are already outside the yard. I will have the servants drive out three carriages to confuse them. But after they leave, don't wait until midnight to leave, but set off immediately to avoid being caught by the people of Qingyun Sect." The burly man did not panic, but ordered calmly.

"What about you, uncle?"

"I want to fight for the foundation-building secret method. It's about the future of my Chen family!" The man clenched his fists, his face cold.

"Then... Uncle, you should be more careful." The young man gritted his teeth and said so.

"Take the things back to the Chen family!" The man nodded, looked at him again, and ordered so.

Soon, three carriages drove out of the front door of the yard, and many monks hiding around showed a hint of greed in their eyes and followed them.

Shortly after the three carriages left, a middle-aged man quietly walked out of the yard, looked around carefully, then jumped and ran out of the market.

After he left, several figures hiding in the shadows moved and followed silently.

After he left for a while, the young man in the yard took out a talisman from his storage bag with a serious face - the earth escape talisman.

The price of this type of talisman in the market has always been high, and the Chen family has spent a lot of money to invite an outstanding talisman master to improve it.

It is not only silent when sneaking, but also completely restrains its spiritual fluctuations. It can be said to be extremely precious.

This is one of the most precious treasures in the Chen family's treasure house. It was originally used to keep the core seeds for the family to escape when they encountered a catastrophe, but in order to ensure the safety of this auction trip, the family elders took it out without hesitation.

"Command!"

The yellowish-brown spiritual light flashed, and the young man dived directly into the ground, then sneaked for a while, and came out of a house he had bought in advance on the edge of the market, and then he quickly left the market.

It's not that he didn't want to stay in the market for a few days, meet up with his own caravan, and wait until the storm is over before leaving.

But when they set out, they were already targeted by several other forces in Yunshan County. Once they met up and left the market, they were more likely to be robbed and killed.

But if he was alone, he could completely avoid the other party's eyes and ears and escape the pursuit. In addition, he had a large number of magic talismans and a disposable flying spiritual weapon on him. If he rushed at full speed, he could return to the family within a day to reduce the occurrence of accidents.

"I have avoided the eyes and ears of several forces in Yunshan County. The monks who followed me to the auction have been led away by my second uncle. In addition, I left the yard in a special way. Now it seems that I should be safe. As long as I am careful, I will..."

Outside the market, in a dim jungle, the young man held a defensive spiritual weapon to protect his body, carefully observing the surrounding environment, and muttered.

However, before he could finish speaking, his face suddenly changed, and his body froze.

Because at this moment, behind him, a crisp voice suddenly came:

"Daoyou, please stay!"
