After leaving the scholar's courtyard, Fang Chen silently blended into the darkness.
Although there were countless pairs of eyes watching his every move in the dark, he was not worried at all. Instead, he was planning something even bigger.
Buzz!
As soon as Fang Chen left, a strong cultivator from the Great Snow Mountain arrived at the scholar's courtyard. He was covered in ice and snow, and an extremely cold aura instantly swept through the entire courtyard. The scholar, Gong Tianhou, and the others could not help but shiver, but they quickly calmed down.
"Greetings, Fifth Elder of the Great Snow Mountain." The scholar cupped his fists.
After all, the Great Snow Mountain was a subordinate force of the Great Snow Mountain, and they had a master-servant relationship. When he saw the Fifth Elder of the Great Snow Mountain, he naturally had to be respectful. However, he was very curious. Why did the Fifth Elder of the Great Snow Mountain come right after Fang Chen left? Could it be related to him?
He braced himself and looked at the Fifth Elder of the Great Snow Mountain. He carefully asked, "May I know why the Fifth Elder has come so late at night?"
The Fifth Elder of the Great Snow Mountain's pitch-black eyes were filled with a cold aura. He stared at the scholar for a long time, then said, "What are you doing in Mystic Dragon City?"
"I'm here to participate in the Mystic Dragon Auction on the orders of the Sect Leader," the scholar replied.
Behind him, Gong Tianhou and the others didn't even dare to breathe loudly. They were afraid of angering the Great Snowy Mountain's Fifth Elder and causing their plan to fail.
Hmph!
The Fifth Elder of the Great Snow Mountain snorted coldly, then asked, "After the auction ended, I have been tracking the owner of VIP room 9. Not long ago, I sensed that he left your place. Do you know him?"
As soon as the Fifth Elder said this, a strange expression appeared on the scholar's face. "What?
That person left my place? "
The scholar shrugged and said with an innocent face, "Fifth Elder, are you suspecting that I know him?"
The Fifth Elder of the Great Snow Mountain was silent. He needed the scholar to give him an explanation.
"Fifth Elder, think about it. The owner of VIP room 9 is so rich that he is comparable to the Great Snow Mountain. How could I know such a top expert?" The scholar smiled bitterly.
The Fifth Elder narrowed his eyes and stared at the scholar. He could tell that the scholar wasn't lying. He then spread out his divine sense and scanned the entire courtyard. After a short while, he found nothing. "Maybe he's just passing by, or maybe he's trying to distract the experts who are watching him from the shadows?"
This was the only explanation that could convince him.
"En, Mystic Dragon City has not been peaceful recently. You better leave quickly."
The Fifth Elder of the Great Snow Mountain reminded him. After all, the Taixuan Sect was a subsidiary force of the Great Snow Mountain. At this critical moment, he still had to remind them. If his guess was correct, then it was very likely that the owner of VIP room No. 9 had deliberately snuck into the scholar's courtyard without anyone noticing. Then, he quietly left to confuse the world and drag the hatred onto the Taixuan Sect.
Using the Supreme Mystery Sect as a breakthrough point, they would attack the Great Snow Mountain.
"Could it be an enemy of the Great Snow Mountain?"
The Fifth Elder frowned and pondered. He couldn't think of any enemy force that could take out so many Saint-level weapons at once.
"Thank you for your reminder, Fifth Elder. I'm going to leave Mystic Dragon City early tomorrow morning and return to the Taixuan Sect." The scholar thanked him.
In the dark night, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at the scholar's courtyard. On one hand, they were staring at Fang Chen. On the other hand, they were staring at the scholar.
Early the next morning.
The scholar brought Gong Tianhou and the others and left Mystic Dragon City in a low-key manner. Even so, they were still discovered by many hidden forces. They immediately reported the news to their superiors. Soon, many experts began to guess whether or not the scholar and the others had returned with the treasures.
"Follow them. At the critical moment, take action."
It was better to be safe than sorry.
Especially the Celestial Demon Rat King. He even suspected that the owner of VIP room No. 9 had given all the treasures from the auction to the scholar and asked him to bring them back. Then, he purposely attracted everyone's attention to ensure the scholar's safety.
"Humph."
The Celestial Demon Rat King snorted. He, the Thief Sage, had never failed to get what he wanted.
At the same time, the Reverent King also followed.
Pull one hair and the whole situation will be affected.
After the scholar left, everyone's attention was focused on him. They secretly followed him and competed with him.
The real protagonist, Fang Chen, was casually using his disguise technique. He changed his appearance and walked on the streets of Mystic Dragon City. He believed that with his strength, no one would be able to recognize him after he changed his appearance.
"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for wanting to kill me." Fang Chen mumbled to himself.
Although the Taixuan Sect was innocent in this matter, they had no choice. The scholar wanted to kill him, so they could only use him as a sacrifice.
At this moment.
In a restaurant, the red-haired man was anxious. "Master, the First Disciple of the Taixuan Sect left early in the morning. Those experts who are secretly watching him have all followed him. They all suspect that the person has secretly given the treasures from the auction to the scholar. Should we …"
The white-haired old man did not care about the red-haired man's anxiety. Instead, he smiled.
He turned to look at his disciple and said with a smile, "You've been with me for so many years. Why are you still so impatient?
I've told you more than once that no matter what happens, don't be anxious. You have to be calm and deal with it calmly. "
A battle between experts was often decided by a single thought.
Therefore, one must have a calm mind to control the situation.
This disciple of his was excellent in other aspects. Only his state of mind had not been honed. He did things carelessly and easily fell into the trap of others.
"But …" The red-haired man wanted to explain but was stopped by his master.
The white-haired old man waved his hand and interrupted his disciple. Then, his eyes fell on an unfamiliar man on the street. "What do you think of this person?"
The red-haired man was stunned by such a puzzling question. He looked at the unfamiliar man seriously and replied, "Master, this person should be hiding his strength. I estimate that his true strength is at least in the middle level of the Saint Realm. He might even be in the high level of the Saint Realm."
"But …"
The red-haired man continued, "His Primordial Spirit is very weak. He's at the bottom of the Saint Realm."
To the two of them, such a person was simply a piece of trash. He did not understand why his master would suddenly ask such a question.
"Look carefully and think carefully."
The white-haired old man shook his head and said with a smile. However, there was a flash of surprise in his calm eyes. Of course, the red-haired man did not notice.
