Chapter 153: The Death of Bai Wuheng!

“This…”

Based on what Zi Yue said, was she trying to scam Lin Mo?

Lin Mo definitely would not believe a single word of what the royal family said.

He guessed that the so-called down payment was most likely the full amount.

As for a tier 7 mid-grade formation, selling it for 8 million was definitely too expensive.

However, selling it for 5 million was still a piece of cake.

Zi Yue was so generous, yet she only wanted to use 3 million to buy this tier 7 mid-grade formation?

It seemed like she was not as rich as she was rumored to be!

“It’s possible, but you should come to the auction during the next auction.”

“Help our auction house attract some traffic.”

“Alright, I promise you.”

When Zi Yue heard this, she was clearly a little excited, so she did not stay in her room for too long. Instead, she controlled Lin Mo to sleep before leaving.

However, she did not expect Lin Mo to be completely awake.

After Zi Yue left, Lin Mo realized that Bai Wuheng might be in danger, so he hurriedly followed after her.

…

Outside the Drunken Immortal Restaurant.

After eating and drinking, everyone dispersed.

Bai Wuheng walked in the Lin City gloomily. From time to time, he would look at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant from afar and think of countermeasures.

This damned eighth prince actually came to Lin City personally. Moreover, was she not afraid afraid of the risk of exposing her secret when meeting Lin Mo?

The most terrifying thing was that the eighth prince deliberately exposed the fact that she was a woman to Bai Wuheng.

This meant that Bai Wuheng was in great danger!

In the dark night, a spark appeared.

Bai Wuheng’s gaze focused, and he instantly turned his head. He saw a mysterious man wearing a bamboo hat and holding a long knife, silently looking at him.

“Executioner? How is this possible… Isn’t the executioner not under the orders of the Ministry of Justice?!”

Bai Wuheng’s expression was as if he had seen a ghost when he saw the mysterious person.

However, logically speaking, his strength should not be weak!

However, not long after, along with a blood-curdling scream at the entrance of the alley, Bai Wuheng let out a mournful scream. Black blood spewed out of his mouth as he tried his best to crawl towards the entrance of the alley.

“B*tch! You’re so heartless!!”

Bai Wuheng used all his strength to scream, but in the eyes of the man, it was just a struggle.

Lin Mo watched this scene with his eyes wide open. In front of him were Zi Yue, Qing Wen, and Qing Wu, who were in the shadows.

This powerful woman had actually used the manpower of the Ministry of Justice to execute Bai Wuheng. There seemed to be a lot of secrets in there.

However, when he saw the mysterious person’s cultivation technique, Lin Mo’s hair also stood up. It was extremely beneficial.

The mysterious person’s attacks were swift and fierce, and each and every one of them was fatal. The movement technique merged with the darkness, making it difficult for one to see or hear.

This movement technique was already strange enough. In addition, his long blade seemed to be used for execution!

No wonder all the cultivators in the world were unwilling to provoke the imperial court. If it were him, he would not be willing either.

The top-tier cultivation techniques and footwork displayed by the mysterious man were clearly better than what he had come into contact with.

Lin Mo had to think of a way to trick Zi Yue and see if he could get a few cultivation techniques from her. Then, he could obtain more advanced cultivation techniques of the same kind through the auction.

However, Bai Wuheng was about to die.

Looking at Zi Yue’s attitude, she was not even prepared to leave any last words for Bai Wuheng, much less meet him!

Should he make a move this time or not?

Lin Mo decided to wait for a while more.

He could only say that Bai Wuheng was unlucky. If it were any other time, Lin Mo might have helped him.

After all, the Bai clan was also a big customer of the auction house.

However, the person who wanted him dead was the eighth Prince and the royal family.

Then, Lin Mo could not help him even if he wanted to.

“However, this eighth prince is truly vicious and merciless. She used such a method to kill his own dog without leaving a trace.”

“It’s no wonder Zi Yue had to personally handle everything. If she was careless, with the danger the royal family is in, the second prince would probably get rid of her.”

Seeing how cold-blooded Zi Yue was, the legendary second prince would probably be even more ruthless.

The emperor still did not like Zi Yue.

It was likely that even if Zi Yue’s corpse had already been delivered to the emperor, the Emperor still would not be bothered with her.

The next day…

Early in the morning, the entrance of the Lin auction house was already crowded.

Over a dozen auction house guards registered at the entrance to maintain order.

“Lord Zhao has arrived!”

“The Xiao clan’s clan leader is here!”

“The Bai clan’s first elder is here!”

“The Bai clan’s second elder is here!”

Following the shouts at the entrance, the interior of the auction house slowly filled up with people. All the family heads were present, except for Bai Wuheng.

Yesterday, Bai Wuheng’s behavior was abnormal, and everyone guessed that he was reprimanded by someone sent by the eighth prince.

It was very likely that this person was that great beauty, Zi Yue, who had appeared in the Drunken Immortal Restaurant last night!

It was possible that the eighth prince even wanted to hide the Bai family.

Under Miao Qing’s arrangement, the requirements for participating in the auction this time were very high. They had to be a person of high status or a person of great wealth.

Those who did not have much money on them and still wanted to come in to make up the numbers were not allowed to enter.

The specific criteria was to spend at least 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones! In other words, it was the so-called ‘low consumption’.

As long as the auction item was not auctioned off, every participant had the obligation to complete the low consumption. Even though this would offend a lot of people, Miao Qing did not care about it at all.

All he cared about was that his auction would be held normally.

Furthermore, those fellows who could not afford 200,000 were probably just here to watch the show or gather intelligence.

With so many good items in Lin Mo’s hands, there was no need to worry about not having anyone bid.

Very quickly, the entire auction hall was filled with people. Not a single empty seat was left.

The people inside were all important figures from all over the world. The main ones were the three great clans of Lin City. There were also dozens of small clans that came out to seek opportunities for development.

Of course, there were also quite a number of powerful freelance martial artists who passed by Lin City. They heard that there was an incredible auction house here, so they came over to take a look.

All in all, every single one of the distinguished guests were important figures.

In the private room, Miao Qing was holding a list in his hand. The list was filled with names, including their identities.

Beside him, Lin Mo was quietly guarding the side, his gaze filled with Zi Yue, who was sitting in the front row.

Yesterday, she said that she would pay Lin Mo a deposit for a tier 7 mid-grade array at the price of 3,000,000 low-grade spiritual stones!

Should she keep his word?

Or should she play some tricks?

Lin Mo was not worried about anything else. He just did not want Zi Yue, this woman, to get involved with him, in case it would be difficult for him to escape.

Meanwhile, Wu Jin was sitting next to Miao Qing with a calm expression, eating some fruits from time to time.

“There’s a young master and a second young master from the Bai clan?”

“There’s also a young master and a great elder from the neighboring Huaian City.”

“Eh, there’s actually a wandering cultivator? He seems to be quite powerful?”

Suddenly, a trace of surprise appeared in Miao Qing’s eyes.

“I seem to remember this person…”

“Jiang Kun, a famous great thief. He cultivates a swift movement technique and can come and go without a trace. His strength isn’t bad!”

“This person is quite interesting huh?” Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and said.

Miao Qing revealed a surprised expression.

This was a great thief! A thief!

After taking charge of the Lin auction house, Miao Qing had become more and more interested in the industry and was prepared to make it his lifelong career.
