433: Escort
It wasn't long before the auction began.
Ji Yi and his group were pressed for time, so they immediately bid on one item.
Afterward, Ji Yi went to the back to complete the transaction.
"Respected guest, this is your slave," a young man courteously said to Ji Yi.
"No, this is your slave."
"The customer is joking.
You've already auctioned for it, so of course it's yours."
"I bid on it for fun."
Ji Yi uttered this chuunibyou-like password, which he didn't know who came up with, finding it truly embarrassing.
"This is the next step."
The young man produced a slip of paper with the details of the next task.
Ji Yi glanced at it, memorized it, and then exited directly from the back door of the auction house.
He met up with Sister Lan and the others, and together they returned to their lodging.
"How is it?
What do we do next?" Xiao Min, being impatient, eagerly asked.
"We are to go to a valley a thousand li outside the East City tomorrow night, where someone will come to hand over the goods," Ji Yi said.
"Has the main event finally begun?
This Reincarnation Paradise, its prelude is so long," Xiao Min complained.
"Cough cough..." Ji Yi nearly choked on Xiao Min's words.
What kind of brazen words were those?
The next morning, Ji Yi and his group directly left the city and arrived at the designated valley.
They thoroughly checked the surroundings, and after confirming there were no issues, they began to set up a Formation.
One must always be cautious in everything they do, especially now that Ji Yi and his group can only rely on themselves if unexpected situations arise; one can never be too careful.
Ji Yi set up a Teleportation Formation, a Trapping Formation, and a Killing Formation.
Layer after layer of Formations were arranged by Ji Yi.
He also hoped it would be a wasted effort, that they wouldn't be needed.
They worked until evening, waiting for the other party's arrival.
Finally, when the moon had climbed to the zenith, five people descended from the Void Realm, appearing in the valley.
Ji Yi and his group turned to look, their gazes meeting, knowing these were the people they were looking for.
"Heavenly King covers Earth Tiger."
"Thunder God loves Electric Mother."
"Next, deliver the goods to the next location.
The address and the next password are on the slip of paper."
The leader threw a Na Ring and a slip of paper to Ji Yi.
Ji Yi took it and found that the Na Ring had been claimed by someone else, so he couldn't open it.
Inside, Ji Yi sensed the aura of an Immortal Emperor, indicating that these goods were very important.
"Farewell."
The other party left a single sentence and turned to leave.
"Farewell."
Ji Yi and the five others also planned to leave.
They wanted to see where this mission would lead them.
At the same time, Ji Yi secretly left a wisp of Qi that clung to the five people who had just left.
After walking a certain distance, Ji Yi separated a Clone.
This Clone would follow those five people to see what their mission chain was like.
Ji Yi did not return to the city because Reincarnation Paradise had set up a Teleportation Formation in this wilderness.
Following the map information, he found a cave where the Teleportation Formation was hidden deep underground, very discreetly.
Ji Yi successfully stepped onto the Teleportation Formation and then teleported back to the Curse Dao Domain, and then back to Diqi City.
In fact, Ji Yi knew the delivery location; it was the Red Makeup Pavilion they had previously investigated.
Ji Yi and the five others went directly to the Red Makeup Pavilion.
At the same time, Ji Yi had Sister Lan issue an order.
Simply completing the mission wouldn't impress the Dao Domain Lord enough.
This mission was too smooth.
He wanted to achieve merit and also disrupt the Reincarnation Paradise's arrangements here.
Upon arriving at the Red Makeup Pavilion, Ji Yi and the five others directly requested a suite.
It had several rooms, convenient for friends to team up and play together.
One could only say that modern brothels were truly considerate.
Ji Yi ordered a girl named Ru Yue, as specified on the slip of paper.
Soon, a very attractive girl opened the door and entered.
"Oh, five esteemed guests!
This will require extra Immortal Stones," Ru Yue said with a smile, looking a bit eager, which was truly embarrassing.
"Immortal Stones are not a problem, as long as you make this young master happy, there will be plenty of Immortal Stones," Ji Yi said grandly.
"May I ask what kind of Move sparring the customer prefers?
Ru Yue is proficient in all 108 Divine Abilities of chess."
"I like 'Standing with a Saber'."
"Just give me the item," Ru Yue's smile vanished, and she said seriously.
"Alright."
Ji Yi handed the Na Ring to Ru Yue, but he didn't leave immediately.
He had to stay for at least half an hour to avoid suspicion, otherwise, where would Ji Yi's Face be placed?
An hour later, Ji Yi and the five others pushed open the door and walked out looking radiant, heading downstairs to the first floor.
As they reached the place where they were about to go downstairs, Ji Yi suddenly let out a cold snort.
"Who are you, you sneaky rat?" Ji Yi stabbed his sword into the Void Realm.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound rang out; someone had blocked Ji Yi's sword.
"Meddling in others' affairs, I will surely kill you someday!" A cold snort came from the Void Realm.
That person didn't want to get entangled and intended to leave.
"Sneaking around even in a brothel, and still trying to escape, you helmet freak!" Ji Yi was unwilling to let the other party go.
He and Sister Lan's group disappeared into the Void Realm, chasing after the person.
The commotion here also startled many people.
By the time they wanted to watch the excitement, Ji Yi and his group had already vanished.
However, Ru Yue and the madam's expressions changed.
This place might have been exposed, and they needed to report the matter immediately.
In the Void Realm, a game of chase was unfolding, but ultimately, Ji Yi and his group were faster.
Soon, they caught up to the peeping tom.
Although this person was cloaked in a black robe, he was clearly a fatty at first glance.
"Peeping tom, where do you think you're going to run?" Ji Yi sneered.
Xiao Ye manipulated the power of the Formation, and a bell shadow enveloped the fatty.
The fatty had already mastered the Speed Great Dao, and his movement technique was very agile.
Layer after layer of illusions appeared, attempting to dodge the bell shadow.
Unfortunately, under the power of Ji Yi's Causality Great Dao, how could this fatty possibly escape?
The bell shadow tightly pursued his true body.
"Damn it, you old man!" The fatty cursed.
This time, he was in trouble.
As expected, the bell shadow enveloped him.
Under the combined power of Ji Yi and his five companions, he couldn't break through the bell shadow's power and was trapped by Ji Yi.
"Speak, why did you infiltrate the Red Makeup Pavilion?" Ji Yi said indifferently.
"What?
Can't I just go in and look?
Is the Red Makeup Pavilion owned by your family?" The fatty retorted stubbornly.
"Dead fatty, which faction are you from?
Don't play dumb with me."
"I, this fatty, am a direct descendant of the Demon Race.
I advise you to let me go, or you won't be able to bear the wrath of our Demon Race."
"Looks like you won't shed tears until you see the coffin.
Now that you've fallen into our hands, you can look forward to a life worse than death."
Ji Yi directly took the fatty and flew towards the City Lord's Mansion, then handed the fatty over to Lord Qi.
"Is this the person who infiltrated the Red Makeup Pavilion?" Lord Qi asked with a solemn expression.
"Yes, he's very stubborn and hasn't revealed anything yet.
I'm handing him over to you; we don't have time to interrogate him," Ji Yi said.
"Alright, you all go about your business."
Lord Qi, with a heavy heart, took the fatty to the Dao Domain Lord's Mansion, feeling that the matter was quite serious.
