169: Twists and turns

Qingyang led Blood Dragon, Qingtian, Bai Rou Rou, Shidian, Jin Hua, and forty Order Keepers, returning to West Yun City.

As soon as they arrived, Hong Zong immediately met up with Qingyang and the others, asking, "What's wrong?"

Hearing the question, Qingyang did not answer. Instead, the moment he entered West Yun City, that strong premonition became even clearer.

At this moment, Qingyang was ninety percent certain that Mao Qiu should be within the territory of West Yun City.

"Blood Dragon, immediately mobilize our forces scattered in other cities."

The reappearance of Qingyang and the others also caused the Enforcer in West Yun City to appear by their side immediately and inquire.

Upon learning of Qingyang's intuition, the Enforcer immediately ordered the five Gatekeepers in West Yun City who controlled the Flowing Land to personally lead teams to the Flowing Land to search for Mao Qiu.

As for Qingyang, he also began a carpet search throughout West Yun City.

As "official personnel," everyone possessed identity tokens, precise down to each city.

In the hazy West Yun City, Qingyang, following his subconscious instinct, arrived at a street.

Just as they reached the street entrance, Qingyang and the others encountered an Order Keeper from another major city.

Noticing the other party, Qingyang forcefully stopped him and asked, "Are there resources, Bone Beast battle pets, or similar things sold on this street? Which city's Order Keeper are you?"

Suddenly stopped by a group of powerful figures, the Order Keeper who had just sold Mao Qiu's bone body quickly lowered his head and said, "Responding to you esteemed sirs, I am an Order Keeper from the Flowing Land of West Jing City.

This street indeed has many things available for resource exchange, zhen crystal, Bone Beast energy, high-level Bone Beast bodies, flesh and blood, and so on."

Beside Qingyang, Jin Hua looked at the nervous Order Keeper, took a step forward, and the aura of a Thirteenth-Order powerhouse Pressing towards the other party.

"You are from West Jing City, why did you come to West Yun City? What did you come here for?"

As soon as he said this, the Order Keeper felt his scalp tingle, but he still obediently and quickly said, "To exchange for flesh and blood, I exchanged for a hundred jin of flesh and blood, look."

As he spoke, the other party did not forget to open his gray cloth bag.

However, when the bag that had previously held Mao Qiu's bone body was opened, Qingyang, who hadn't paid attention before, suddenly turned his head and instantly locked onto the bag.

"Boom~"

His ten-colored dragon tail fiercely whipped towards the Order Keeper. While heavily injuring the opponent with one strike, Qingyang also took the opportunity to wrap around him and pull him close.

Then, Qingyang's cold voice, devoid of any emotion, slowly sounded.

"What did you do to Mao Qiu? Don't lie to me, I am more familiar with its soul aura than any creature in the Inner Realm."

At this moment, the Order Keeper, who had been severely injured by Qingyang's single blow, spitting blood, and whose entire body's bones were breaking inch by inch from being squeezed by Qingyang, cried out in pain.

"Half an hour ago, I just sold its bone body to the West Earth Auction House. When I found it, it was just a complete skeleton. Please, let me go, sir, let me go."

Hearing this, Qingyang fiercely threw the opponent to the ground and turned to Jin Hua behind him, saying, "Keep a close watch on him. If he's alive, I want to see the mouse; if he's dead, I want to see the bones. Head to the West Earth Auction House."

Behind him, Jin Hua's expression was a bit awkward, but he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Qing Yang, this guy is an Order Keeper from West Jing City.

If we detain him like this, and they find out, I'm afraid it might cause some unnecessary misunderstandings. How about we let him go?"

"Misunderstanding? If it's truly as he said, I will personally go to West Jing City to apologize to their Captain, Gatekeeper, and even the Enforcer. But if he killed Mao Qiu, I will slice him into a thousand pieces, and no one can save him, even if it means turning the world upside down."

Hearing Qingyang's forceful statement, the Order Keeper's eyes were empty, but his heart was extremely calm.

After all, in this Order Keeper's world, Mao Qiu was already dead. How could a dead thing be accounted for?

The power behind the West Earth Auction House was said to be the Deputy City Lord of West Yun City, so Qingyang and the others did not dare to be too presumptuous there.

When Qingyang inquired at the West Earth Auction House and learned that the small auction would only start in five days, Qingyang immediately led Jin Hua and others to wait outside the auction house.

Two days later, Blood Dragon brought the Order Keeper Captains from other cities, along with Jin Sheng, to West Yun City and waited with Qingyang for the auction to begin.

As Thirteenth-Order powerhouses, Qingyang and the others were considered among the strong here.

So when the auction was about to begin, although Qingyang's group did not receive the treatment of private rooms, they were placed in the first row of the hall.

On this day, as the West Cloud Auction began, Qingyang had five Order Keeper Captains and fifty Order Keepers guard the entrance. Qingyang then led his other companions directly into the auction house.

The auction house, large enough to accommodate five thousand beings, was packed.

But Qingyang was single-minded, only waiting for Mao Qiu's appearance.

As item after item appeared for auction, the powerhouses below, shouting bids, were non-stop.

After a full three hours, when all the ordinary items had been auctioned off, the Twelve-Order four-headed golden lion on the stage immediately shouted.

"Next, are our customary final three highlight items. Ranking third is a weapon once used by a peak Fifteenth-Order powerhouse, the Flowing Meteorite Sword.

According to our owner's appraisal, this sword can at least double the combat power of a Tenth-Order powerhouse, increase the combat power of an Eleventh-Order by ninety percent, and so on."

As soon as this was said, the thousands of beings below instantly erupted.

Doubling combat power, this temptation was simply too great. After all, realm advancement was limited, but combat power could be increased through external means.

As the shouts began, in less than a minute, the price of this Flowing Meteorite Sword directly reached one million three hundred thousand zhen crystal and was still increasing.

To be honest, all of Qingyang and the others' resources combined were only about two million zhen crystal.

Of course, this was assuming Shidian's old stash was not included.

If Shidian's resources were included, Qingyang guessed that let alone this Flowing Meteorite Sword, buying the entire auction house would be more than enough.

After the Flowing Meteorite Sword was successfully auctioned off for a price of one million five hundred seventy thousand zhen crystal, the four-headed golden lion shouted again.

"Then, the second item is even more remarkable. When it was originally sent here, we purchased it at the price of a treasure.

But later, through our observation, we discovered that it was actually alive. Alright, without further ado, a Bone Mouse, with its own bone body. Its specific strength on the Blue Star Surface is Fourteenth or Fifteenth-Order, that remains unknown. The starting bid is one million."

At this moment, as Mao Qiu's bone body, only the size of an adult's fist, was brought onto the auction stage in a cage, Qingyang's entire body's energy began to fluctuate rapidly.
