Chapter 1026 Ling Xiao Zhen Yue, the auction begins
After all, in just one year since Qin Tian entered the city, Fengming Fairy City, which was originally full of undercurrents, has undergone a major change.
Nowadays, all the major chambers of commerce in the city have defected and surrendered to the city lord's palace. Coupled with the strong suppression of the garrison and Qin Tian's terrifying personal strength, the entire fairy city has actually been completely controlled by Dao Zong from the inside out.
This situation can only be described as a total loss!
However, this silent war suppressed the two major forces to the extreme, and the years of operation of the Xiao Chamber of Commerce were all reduced to waste.
Such a loss is truly extremely heavy.
But fortunately, as the young master of the Xiao Chamber of Commerce, Xiao Bufan was not carried away by anger. Instead, he maintained the last trace of reason and ordered with a slightly depressed tone:
"Don't panic, everyone. It's not appropriate to fight head-on at this moment. Preservation must be the top priority in everything! Send the order, all shops will be closed immediately, all belongings will be taken back, and prepare to evacuate Fengming Fairy City!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the venue was shocked.
The Mangshan Ghost Envoy and the Venerable Nanli couldn't help but their faces changed wildly, and they quickly said in a hurried tone:
"What? Evacuate the fairy city? Fellow Daoist Xiao, please think clearly. The Demon Sect envoy has given orders first. If we retreat now, we may not be able to escape accountability afterwards!"
"Yes, although the situation is unfavorable now, it is not to this extent, right? You, the Xiao Chamber of Commerce, have a big business, so naturally you don't have to care too much, but if the two major forces like us give up Immortal City, how can we still mess around in Youzhou in the future? ah?"
.....................
However, after hearing this, Xiao Bufan sighed quietly and said:
"With Qin Tian's ruthless methods, if we continue to stay in the fairy city, the end will definitely not be much better. I'm afraid whether we can save our lives in the end will be a problem."
"Whether you want to retreat quickly or continue to wait for death, fellow Taoists, you should make a decision as soon as possible. Mr. Xiao will not accompany you!"
After that, Xiao Bufan didn't stop at all, turned and walked straight out of the courtyard.
Seeing this situation, Mangshan Ghost Angel and Venerable Nanli couldn't help but look at each other, and their expressions also changed rapidly.
There is no doubt that if the Xiao Chamber of Commerce decides to withdraw, without the support of the business community, the two major forces will be unable to support each other, and it will be impossible to defeat the city lord's palace at its peak.
After staying for a while, the two of them seemed to have made up their minds, and finally gritted their teeth and said in a hateful voice:
"Damn it, if you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth! Compared with your wealth and life, the sect's mission is nothing!"
"That's right, even if we retreat back to the sect now, it's just a punishment. It's better than staying here with our eyes closed and waiting to die! Those big shots want to play with themselves, so we won't accompany them!"
"But even if we want to retreat now, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. With the ruthless methods of that Qin boy, since he wants to destroy us, he might have a backup plan!"
"Hmph! Why are you panicking? The Immortal City Auction Ceremony is coming soon. When all the experts from all walks of life gather together, Qin Tian and the garrison will be very busy. The Jin Family Chamber of Commerce will also host the auction, so they will definitely not have time to take care of too much!"
"In this case, we can naturally take the opportunity to escape!"
"Hehe! That makes sense. As long as you escape this disaster, you will have a chance to take revenge sooner or later!"
.............................
As the auction ceremony approaches, the atmosphere in Fengming Fairy City becomes increasingly high.
And due to the public disclosure of the treasure list, the supply of tickets for the auction has also been in short supply, and even in some underground black markets, they have been directly sold to sky-high prices.
Time flew by, and more than ten days passed quickly.
In the early morning of this day, the much-anticipated and long-awaited auction ceremony was finally held as scheduled.
But before that, a yellow light curtain suddenly rose above the fairy city, stretching for an unknown number of miles, covering the entire inner city area.
It is true that this light curtain is the top protective formation of Immortal City, named "Lingxiao Zhenyue Formation". It was set up by the formation masters of the Dao Sect Tuxuan Peak and was specially used to guard the safety of the capital of Youzhou.
It is rumored that this formation contains the effect of trapping and killing, and has extremely strong offensive and defensive capabilities. Its power is almost second only to the Dao Sect's protective formation. Even if a strong person in the early stage of Nascent Soul breaks through, he will definitely die. The end of life.
However, because this formation consumes too much energy, it needs to use rare top-grade spiritual stones as the center, precious high-grade spiritual stones as the base energy of the formation, and combine the numbers of the Nine Palaces and Bagua Tiangang Earthly Evils to make the formation operate perfectly.
Therefore, unless it is a critical moment or a war is approaching, Fengming Fairy City will never fully activate the formation and only maintain the basic air-forbidden effect.
However, for some unknown reason, perhaps to intimidate Xiao Xiao, or to show off the power of the Taoist sect, on the day when the auction ceremony began, Qin Tian did not hesitate to order Lingxiao Zhenyue University. The array is fully opened.
For a moment, looking at the yellow light curtain that separated the sky and the earth, there was an uproar everywhere in the city, and everyone secretly marveled at the grand atmosphere of the fairy city.
.....................
At the same time, on the streets in the fairy city, surging crowds of people can be seen everywhere, and the noise is endless.
Many people with good status and wealth also began to swarm towards a large building somewhere in the inner city.
Then I saw that the building occupied a large area, and the overall shape was round at the bottom and round at the top. The top was made of exquisite jade glazed tiles, presenting a graceful arc spreading outward. The interior was decorated magnificently, with an elegant and grand style, and a sense of luxury and grandeur. Even the secular palace could hardly match it.
And on the door beam of the building, there was a large golden sign with large gilded characters: "Fengming Xiancheng Auction House!"
At this moment, at the magnificent gate of the auction venue, there were more than a dozen Jindan stage masters, leading hundreds of foundation-building stage cultivators, wearing armor and holding sharp blades, and had already lined up on both sides. It was obviously the Xiancheng garrison.
The leaders were Qi Mo and Long Aotian.
Even the Jinyu Guards, who were not small in reputation of the Jin family, were accompanying to maintain order nearby.
As for Jin Ruyu, the protagonist of this auction, she was wearing a golden silk brocade robe, with a pile of fat on her head, and a friendly expression on her face, smiling and welcoming the guests.
Even Qin Tian, who was always elusive, the new city lord who was extremely mysterious but gradually gaining fame, also appeared at the gate of the auction venue in gorgeous clothes.
