Chapter 157 Departure
The one holding the gold medal is Tu Shan; only then can everything be explained.
Why did Musen return to the auction house after the auction?
Why was his scoundrel allowed to stay at the auction house for a month?
Why is it said that the strange phenomenon occurred in a private room belonging to the Lingyun Sect?
When Zhong Qi received the message, Ji Se was trying to find a way to leave with his people.
"You all know how much of a sensation the strange phenomenon caused a month ago. Back then, we didn't choose to leave because there were so many people around the auction house, in order to keep a low profile."
It's still quite lively, although the level of excitement has definitely decreased a bit compared to a month ago.
Fanzi messaged me, saying she was already waiting for us in the extremely cold Tianyu Snow Mountain, and that we should hurry over there.
"Do you have any way to let us leave discreetly?"
Geng Yu said, "We can use a teleportation talisman to go out and then meet at Tianyu Snow Mountain."
“No, teleportation will cause energy fluctuations unless we use high-level talismans, but that’s not worthwhile and the purpose is unclear.”
Gise denied it outright, but she already had a preliminary plan in mind.
Song Nian suggested, "How about we wait another ten days or half a month, and then set off together?"
“Even if we wait another three months, there will still be people guarding outside.” Jin Zhilin shook his head and said, “Does anyone have the contact information for the person in charge of the auction house?”
"Senior brother, what's your idea?"
“Auction houses have special access channels. Can we talk to the person in charge about whether we can borrow them?”
Ji Se nodded. This method was the most direct, but it was also easy to expose his identity.
“I don’t have it, but the fan does. Have you ever considered that we know there’s a special passage, but don’t others know? Wouldn’t someone be guarding it or entering the auction house through it?”
Geng Yu said, "Then what do you suggest we do?"
Ji Se smiled and took out the items, distributing one to each person.
"This is a shape-changing pill made from a fan. Swallowing it allows you to transform into any shape, and the transformation can last for half an hour."
After Ji Se swallowed it, he immediately transformed into Lou Xiyue's appearance.
Seeing this, the others were about to transform when she hurriedly stopped them.
"You all know people from the Wuji Sect, right?"
"Of course!"
Jin Zhilin lowered his head, his expression enigmatic, and said, "Do you want people to think that the strange phenomenon was caused by the Wuji Sect?"
"Just in case." Gise nodded and said, "Turtle, search the map."
Map sent.
Looking around, he saw everyone cooperating in changing their positions and nodded in satisfaction.
Seeing Geng Yu's changed appearance, Ji Se couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"How about it? Doesn't it resemble that hypocritical old man from Shentong Express?"
"You'd better shut up! Since he's the oldest, you all follow Elder Shentong. I'll lead the way, stay alert at all times, and let's go!"
Ji Se led a group of people of varying heights and temperaments to open the door, scanning it with his divine sense to confirm safety.
"Turtle, please keep an eye on what's happening outside for us."
Okay, Sister Se!
The group walked through the corridor and came to another door.
"Fellow Daoist Jin, can you unlock this door?"
Jin Zhilin stepped forward, placed his hand on the door, concentrated his spiritual energy in his palm, probed the internal structure of the lock, and transformed his spiritual energy into a key. With a gentle turn, the key opened the door.
Just as he was about to push open the door, Ji Se stopped him.
"Senior Brother Cheng, use the vines to push open that door."
"Crench!"
The door was pushed open, and there was no unusual movement inside. Jin Zhilin went in first.
Soon a passage about three meters wide appeared in front of the nine people.
Following the system prompts, the group quickly and safely completed a long stretch of road.
Jin Zhilin looked at the three roads that appeared before him, remained silent for a moment, and was about to continue forward when he heard Ji Se's voice behind him.
"To the right!"
Jin Zhilin did it reflexively, and the others followed suit.
After running for a while, he belatedly realized that he might have been too obedient.
After running for a while, we came to another fork in the road.
"middle!"
Ji Se's voice rang in everyone's ears.
No one raised any questions.
Perhaps they felt it was unnecessary, or perhaps they simply didn't care, but they subconsciously did as instructed.
After navigating three more forks in the road and making another choice, Ji Se's face turned solemn.
Walking beside her, Cheng Nan noticed his strange expression and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
"This path leads to the last choice. On the left are three Nascent Soul cultivators with twenty Golden Core cultivators, in the middle is a Deity Transformation cultivator, and on the right is a Deity Transformation cultivator demon beast."
Upon hearing her words, the group gradually stopped and looked at her.
Jin Zhilin turned to look at her and asked the question that had been bothering him: "Junior sister, how did you know?"
"Senior brother, now is not the time for you to know. When the time comes, we will not hide it from you. All you need to know now is the predicament we are facing."
Ji Se pondered carefully how to resolve the situation. Neither the left nor the middle was a viable option. Even if they knew the people were from the Wuji Sect, they might escape unscathed, but they would expose the secret passage.
The things Lingbao Pavilion has done for them and the pressure it has shouldered make it impossible for Ji Se to just stand by and watch it be exposed.
The passage on the right will likely reveal part of her strength.
She didn't want either of them.
"I suggest going to the left; three Nascent Soul cultivators are easier to deal with than one Deity Transformation cultivator."
Geng Yu said that the most important thing is that none of them will get into any trouble anyway.
Facing a Nascent Soul cultivator, he wasn't sure if the other five people who joined the group would encounter any mishaps.
Zhong Qi stared at Ji Se for a while, and quickly understood her concerns. He took the initiative to suggest, "Let's go to the right. Lingbao Pavilion has taken us in for so long. If we run into someone outside, we'll expose this passage."
Geng Yucai remembered this: "Alright, then let's go to the right. As for the Nascent Soul stage, we'll see if there are any other solutions later."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Zhong Qi and Ji Se.
The people present were all shrewd and quick to realize from Geng Yu's expression that the other two had a way to deal with the Nascent Soul stage.
"Okay, let's head to the right now and finish this quickly so we can meet at Tianyu Snow Mountain sooner."
After Jin Zhilin finished speaking, he took the lead and walked to the right.
He wanted to see what was going on that made the four of them so secretive, and what made his master willing to spend ten thousand high-grade spirit stones.
If he wasn't mistaken, this matter was likely the key to his junior sister's rapid improvement in strength.
"Let's go!"
Gise followed behind him, just in case something happened.
They quickly arrived near the exit, and the nine people soon felt an extreme pressure, their faces turned pale, and they could hardly breathe.
Simply push open the door in front of you and go around the sixth-tier demon beast, and you can arrive safely.
"Senior Brother Jian and Senior Brother Jian are following behind me; Song Nian and Dongfang Gui are with Zhong Qi; Rong Lu, Cheng Nan and Geng Yu are together, three people per group. Our group is in front, and Rong Lu's group is at the rear."
"it is good!"
"Yes!"
"Senior Brother, open the door!"
Jin Zhilin took a step forward and opened the door again, just like before. Cheng Nan gently pushed it open.
Ji Se walked in front this time and said, "Don't use your divine sense, stick close to me!"
The group knew that this matter was of great importance; if things went wrong, they might have to fight a sixth-tier demonic beast, and if they weren't careful, they could all be wiped out.
