Hunting down Liu Chen
On the auction stage, today's auction was drawing to a close.
The highly anticipated Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Master was about to bring out the final treasure.
But he made an excuse, saying he had been hosting for too long and his throat was dry, so he needed to go down and drink some tea to moisten his voice.
It was probably like seeing an advertisement in the middle of a show.
At the crucial moment, he slammed the brakes and built suspense, creating a tense atmosphere to encourage people to spend money. The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Master was skilled at stirring up the emotions of the sellers.
As soon as he stepped off the stage, the Steward who had come out of Xiao Fan's private room rushed over in a hurry, holding a Jade Slip in his hand.
Seeing his flustered appearance, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Master reprimanded him coldly, "Didn't I tell you that we, as business people, must be composed and wear a smile? What's with all this flustered behavior?"
The Steward stood up straight, not daring to speak.
It wasn't until the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Master asked him, "Didn't I ask you to thank that distinguished guest? Could something have gone wrong?"
"No, no, that distinguished guest, he is very satisfied with our service."
He couldn't possibly say, "He tried to kill me."
"That's good. He's truly a good person. He even encouraged others to bid higher, allowing me to earn an extra three hundred million High Grade Immortal Stones. What a good person," the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Master said with a smile.
"Alright, now tell me what's going on."
Only then did the Steward speak, handing over the Jade Slip.
The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Master looked at the Steward doubtfully, then took it, puzzled, and said, "This is?"
"That distinguished guest gave it to you. He said it was extremely urgent," the Steward replied.
Extremely urgent?
The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Master, half-believing, half-doubting, extended his Divine Sense into the Jade Slip.
When he clearly saw the content, his face was full of disbelief, and he said in astonishment, "Fake, fake?"
"It must be used in conjunction with a specific treasure to unleash the full power of the Cultivation Technique, otherwise its power is no different from an ordinary Immortal art."
"No, I need to figure out what's going on."
The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Master felt somewhat fortunate that he had found an excuse to step off the stage. Otherwise, if he had sold that Cultivation Technique, it would have directly ruined his reputation!
Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion's credibility would be severely damaged!
Unable to sit still any longer, he sent someone to the front of the auction stage to appease the buyers, saying that there was a small situation to deal with.
Then he rushed back in a hurry, while also summoning all the Elders from the Treasure Appraisal Room to gather and study that Cultivation Technique.
"Bring me the person who provided this Cultivation Technique. We need to confront him face-to-face."
Liu Chen, who was originally in a secret chamber refining the Three Lights Divine Water to heal his injuries, was forcibly dragged out.
This made him very displeased.
"Just notify me when the auction results are out. Why disturb me?"
He thought it was time to settle the Immortal Stones and retrieve his belongings.
"The Pavilion Master requests your presence. Please go there yourself."
The Elder who came this time had a Golden Immortal Realm Cultivation.
After all, Liu Chen had concealed his Qi, only revealing a Heavenly Immortal Realm Cultivation. Sending a Golden Immortal already indicated the seriousness of the matter.
Not everyone was like Xiao Fan, who had Po Wang Zhi Yan (Eyes of Truth) to know his true strength.
Liu Chen didn't think much of it. He just thought that since his item was the last to appear, it was reasonable for it to be given more importance.
So he didn't overthink it and, led by the Elder, walked to the Treasure Appraisal Room.
At this moment, Liu Chen felt a doubt in his heart.
Why come to the Treasure Appraisal Room? Even if I had to go somewhere, it should be to redeem my items.
With suspicion in his mind, Liu Chen walked in.
As soon as he entered, he noticed that something was amiss. Why was everyone looking at him with cold eyes, as if he were an enemy?
Liu Chen chuckled, "Pavilion Master, why is everyone looking so grim? Has something happened?"
The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Master took a deep breath and said,
"Given that it's the final 壓軸品 (main item), we've decided to re-verify it to ensure there are no issues before releasing it, to avoid being accused of selling fakes."
Liu Chen's expression stiffened.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
No one knew the flaws of this Cultivation Technique except him.
He masked it well and said with a smile, "Didn't we already appraise it? There's no problem with the Cultivation Technique."
"I need you to demonstrate it."
"Come."
The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Master took out a shield and suspended it in mid-air.
"Since you've obtained this Cultivation method, you must have practiced it already. We have a shield here for testing the power level of Cultivation Techniques.
Suppress your strength to the Human Immortal Realm, activate the Cultivation Technique, and strike this shield with full force. As long as you can make golden light appear on the shield, it proves that its power is close to a Saint art."
"Give it a try," the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Master said.
Liu Chen's expression changed.
He had definitely been discovered.
"Pavilion Master, are you doubting me?" Liu Chen said coldly.
"It's not doubt, it's appraisal. We must be responsible to the buyers who trust our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion."
"If there's no problem, then do as I say. If it's confirmed to be fine, I will personally apologize to you," the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Master said.
At the same time, two Golden Immortal Elders appeared outside the door, blocking the exit to prevent Liu Chen from escaping.
Liu Chen noticed it immediately, his serious face relaxed, and he said with a smile, "No problem, I'll do as you say."
He began to gather strength and suppress his Realm.
But in his heart, he was pondering how to deal with the current situation.
"With my current strength, it's no problem to easily push everyone here away, but my injuries haven't healed yet, and I still need some time to recuperate."
"Moreover, fighting here will definitely attract the Tang Family members. Then they'll pester me again, and that Grand Unity Golden Immortal will be drawn here. This time, I don't know if I'll be able to escape."
The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Master urged, "Fellow Daoist, please make your move quickly."
Liu Chen made up his mind: escape!
He pretended to gather strength to strike the shield, but in reality, he shot straight up into the sky and directly fled.
Boom!
The vast roof was smashed open, leaving a large hole.
The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Master could clearly see that this guy was trying to deceive people with fake goods.
He was so angry he was trembling and cold!
He almost caused the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion's credibility to be severely damaged.
"Men, capture him! Kill!"
"Yes!"
...
On the other side, Liu Chen felt completely comfortable.
Although he lost a lot of money, at least his injuries were healed.
Just as he had escaped into the sky and was about to flee, familiar faces surrounded Liu Chen.
Who else could it be but the Tang Family!
