302: Chapter 301 Someone's Trying to Double-cross Me? The Betrayal of Wanbaolou

The auction ended, and the crowd gradually dispersed with satisfaction and shock.

Although most people didn't buy anything, not even a single hair, today's gossip was enough for them to brag about for ten thousand years. They witnessed history, witnessing the moment the Heavenly Court lost face.

Wanbao Tower, top-floor VIP room.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room was somewhat eerie. The sky outside was dark, but the room was brightly lit.

Lin Feng sat in the main seat, holding a cup of Top-Grade Spirit Tea, sipping it leisurely, looking calm. Liu Ming stood behind him; although he was holding a folding fan in one hand to fan himself, his other hand was already pressed against the hilt of his sword at his waist, watching the surroundings vigilantly.

Opposite them, the Chief Manager of Wanbao Tower, Qian Tongshen, was looking down, focused on counting the storage rings filled with Spiritual Vein. His hands were trembling slightly, not out of excitement, but because of some impending malice.

"Young Master Lin, this is all the proceeds from this auction, a total of 5,215 Top-Grade Spiritual Vein. After deducting the five percent commission, the rest is all here."

Qian Tongshen slowly pushed a golden storage ring inlaid with Dragon patterns toward Lin Feng. He raised his head, his face still wearing his signature fake smile, but that smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Hmm, not bad, very efficient."

Lin Feng put down the teacup, picked up the ring, swept his Divine Sense over it casually, and after confirming the number was correct, he stood up. "Since the money and goods have been exchanged, happy cooperation. Then this Young Master will take his leave. I will come to you again next time if I have good things."

"Hehe, Young Master Lin, wait a moment."

Just as Lin Feng turned and walked two steps, Qian Tongshen suddenly called out to stop him. His voice was low, carrying a hint of sinister undertone.

"What? Anything else?" Lin Feng stopped, his back to Qian Tongshen, but a sneer that had already seen through everything curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Young Master Lin is new here, perhaps you don't understand the rules of our City of Sin."

Qian Tongshen slowly stood up. His originally hunched body suddenly straightened, and an Aura of a Peak Golden Immortal erupted. The fake smile on his face disappeared, replaced by undisguised greed and Killing Intent.

"Here, having too much money is a hot potato."

"What's more, you are carrying so much wealth that it could buy the entire City of Sin, or even half a Star Domain. Do you think... you can walk out alive?"

"Young Master Lin, you understand the principle of 'a man commits a crime by harboring a jade', don't you?"

Hum—!

As his voice fell, the entire VIP room suddenly lit up!

Blood-red Formation patterns emerged from the floor, walls, and ceiling, instantly sealing off all space. That was the Wanbao Tower's town-tower Formation—the "Nine Nether Trap and Kill Formation"!

A thick, suffocating Killing Intent engulfed Lin Feng and his group like a tidal wave.

"Nine Nether Trap and Kill Formation? Able to suppress ninety percent of the cultivation below the Grand Unity Golden Immortal?"

Lin Feng turned around, looking at this overwhelming Formation, and not only was there no panic on his face, but instead, a playful expression of "as expected" appeared.

"Manager Qian, you are trying to double-cross me. This doesn't conform to business ethics, does it?"

"Business ethics? Hahahaha! That's for dead people!"

Qian Tongshen had completely torn off his mask at this point, grinning hideously: "Lin Feng, don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too fat! Five thousand Top-Grade Spiritual Vein! With this money, do I still need to run Wanbao Tower? Do I still need to look at anyone's face? I could go directly to the Immortal Realm and buy a Star Domain to be a local emperor!"

"Besides, the City Lord is already waiting outside. Once you are killed, we will split the loot fifty-fifty, and we can still take your corpse to the Heavenly Court to claim a reward! This is a great deal of killing three birds with one stone!"

"Come out! Death Warriors! Chop him into meat paste for me! Remember, don't damage the ring!"

At Qian Tongshen's command, the secret doors around the room burst open.

Dozens of Death Warriors dressed in black, with Auras reaching the Peak Golden Immortal level, rushed out like hungry wolves. The sharp blades in their hands flashed with a ghostly blue toxic light; clearly, they were all coated with deadly poison.

"Sigh, boring."

Lin Feng sighed and shook his head, as if looking at a group of clowns. "I originally wanted to be an honest businessman. Why do you have to force me to take action? Also, aren't you a bit too confident?"

"Take action? Hahahaha! In this Nine Nether Trap and Kill Formation, your Spiritual Qi will be suppressed by ninety percent! Even if you are a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, you are just a useless person now! What do you have to fight me with?" Qian Tongshen laughed wildly, as if he had already seen the scene of Lin Feng begging on his knees.

However, the next second, his laughter stopped abruptly, like a duck being strangled.

"Fugui, stop eating, it's time to work."

Lin Feng shouted into the air.

"Hiccup—!"

Only a full, satisfied hiccup was heard from the corner of the room.

That was Huang Fugui.

It didn't know when it had burrowed to the eye of the Formation—that is, next to the core Top-Grade Spirit Stone that maintained the operation of the Formation.

At this moment, that invaluable Formation eye Spirit Stone had been chewed by it until only a pile of debris remained.

"Squeak squeak!" (This Formation tastes good, the Spiritual Qi is quite sufficient, it just gets stuck in the teeth a bit.)

As the eye of the Formation was destroyed, the Nine Nether Trap and Kill Formation, which had been glowing brightly and filled with Killing Intent, went out like a light bulb that had lost power, with a "sizzle" sound.

The originally suppressed Aura instantly returned to normal.

"What?!"

Qian Tongshen's eyeballs were about to pop out, his face full of horror, "My Formation?! That is a Ninth-Rank Kill Formation! How could it be... by a mouse..."

"Now, the door is closed, and the Formation is gone."

Lin Feng stretched his neck, making a "crack" sound, and the Shura Blade in his hand slowly unsheathed, the blade flashing with bloodthirsty red light.

"Close the door and beat the dog."

"Leave that fat guy to me, for the others, Liu Ming, you practice your skills, don't let them run away."

"Yes! Chief!" Liu Ming had been holding back a belly full of fire, and at this moment, he grinned and rushed towards those Death Warriors, "Daring to plot against our Chief? You are seeking your own death!"

And Lin Feng walked step by step towards Qian Tongshen, who was already paralyzed on the chair.

"Just now you said you wanted to take me to the Heavenly Court to claim a reward?"

Lin Feng placed the Shura Blade on Qian Tongshen's greasy neck. The cold blade easily cut through the skin, and blood seeped out.

"Mis... misunderstanding! Young Master Lin! This is a misunderstanding! I was forced by the City Lord! It was all that bastard City Lord who forced me!"

Qian Tongshen trembled like chaff, his crotch instantly wet, emitting a foul smell, "I am willing to compensate! I will give you Wanbao Tower! Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I have money!"

"Too late."

Lin Feng's eyes were cold, without a shred of pity.

"In your next life, remember to keep your eyes open. There are some people you can't afford to offend, Daddy."

Puchi!

A blade flash.

A fat head rolled to the ground, with endless horror and regret still on its face.

[Ding! Killed the Wanbao Tower Master!]

[Recovered a large amount of greedy emotions! Strengthening Points + 20000!]

[Obtained a key to the Wanbao Tower treasury!]

Lin Feng put away his blade, not even looking at the corpse on the ground, as if he had just killed a chicken.

He walked to the window, pushed it open, and looked at the majestic and gloomy City Lord's mansion in the distance, which seemed to be watching this place from the darkness, his eyes flashing with ambition.

"Since Wanbao Tower is already surnamed Lin, then this City of Sin..."

"It's time to change its master."
