Chapter 437: Everyone Escapes After the Show
It was only much later that Zhou You found out that the card auction he participated in had a strange name... but five.

However, the name of the auction house Wu comes from its unique rules, which stipulate that no more than 5 items can be auctioned at each time.

Although there are not many items on auction, each one is a high-quality item (contraband item).

None of the guests invited to the auction were dissatisfied, they just regretted that they did not bring enough money.

The person who presides over the auction is different every time. Last time it was a beautiful woman, next time it’s a dwarf, and the next time maybe it’s an old woman.

However, every host is a master of strong martial arts level, without exception.

What they sell are contraband items that cannot be seen in public, and they are backed by inestimably powerful martial arts masters. Although not many people know about the Fifth Auction House in the underground ghost market in Chongguang City, its reputation is very strong.

No wonder there are no taboos and even the children of aristocratic families are killed.

"Stop! No living creature in this area, whether it's a living person, an animal, or a dead body, is allowed to leave."

"Clear the Xi family, arrest the murderer who killed the clan members, cooperate obediently, and those who refuse will be killed without mercy."

Murderous words echoed all around, punctuated by a few short screams.

Before I even walked out of the cave, I heard the sound of wind and the sound of chaos all around me, and it seemed like a dangerous scene was lurking everywhere.

"The auction house just blocked the outside world to avoid disturbing the normal auction. But the blockade was removed after the auction. When the Xi family learned that 'Junzi Xi' was killed, they immediately came to take revenge."

"Everyone should find their own way to survive, and be careful not to get caught in the crossfire."

The dwarf had already left with his men, and the guests who stayed behind became targets.

Zhou You was reminded by the woman next to him, and without saying a word, he leaned against the stalagmite behind him.

As the stealth mode was activated, his muscles and bones became soft and he circled around the stalagmites. In the blink of an eye, he entered the blind spot and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, the beautiful girl next door blinked twice and rushed out.

The masters sent by the Xi family have not yet formed an encirclement, so now is the time to rush out and have the best chance of escaping. Everyone should rely on their own abilities.

Boom!
The terrain outside the cave was complex, and a figure fell from the sky, catching the Xi family's guests off guard.

The guests of the auction house who were hiding in the crowd couldn't help but take action and tore a hole in the encirclement.

The first person to do so was an old man who performed the palm technique. His eyes were red and hot air emanated from his arms, causing the surrounding air to twist and evaporate like a furnace.

The clothes and hair of the retainer who was hit by his palm immediately caught fire.

His palms and fingers cut through the air, creating blue and white airflow fireworks. His vision was distorted by the high temperature, making it difficult to capture his correct position.

The old man laughed loudly, crushed a mid-level martial artist from the Xi family to death, broke through the defense line and fled away.

The woman wandering next door is not simple either. She walks in the chaos as if she is strolling in the garden, her figure swaying like a flower.

Just as she took a few steps, several Xi family retainers jumped out to block her way, "Stop."

The woman smiled and threw out a light palm strike, without any strength at all, which looked like just a fancy move.

But the palm wind was everywhere, and the Xi family's guests closed their eyes and fell to the ground on the spot, actively making way for her.

Everyone who participated in the auction was simple and displayed their own skills.

Most of them escaped in an instant.

Such a chaotic scene was perfect for Zhou You's stealth travel. He jumped and circled around the stalagmites, using the complex terrain to avoid engagements, and unknowingly broke through to the periphery.

"The Xi family's powerful martial arts master is here, and this time he's here for real."

After several retainers entered the cave, they carried out the body, which was burned to the point that only the skin was left. It looked horrible.

However, the Fifth Auction House's ruthless actions this time have created an irreparable blood feud with the Xi family.

Zhou You walked around a stone pillar connecting the top and the bottom, and saw the reinforcements that the Xi family's guests had been waiting for arrived.

The wind roared and rolled in, and the dust was as turbid as waves, like a giant python drilling through a tunnel and descending in an instant. Just at this moment, a few guests had just broken through the encirclement, and suddenly the wind hit them in front of them.

"Qiang Wu!"

The strong wind tore through the curtain like a curtain, and a huge figure rushed out, with his feet on the ground and his head pressed against the wall of the cave above.

Xi Jiaqiangwu tilted his head slightly, and his left ear swelled instantly, like a dark cloud covering the guests.

He shook his head and twitched his ears, and several people fell from mid-air to his feet and were tied up tightly by the Xi family's followers.

In one encounter, several guests at the middle and high-level martial arts masters were captured.

It is not an exaggeration to describe this scene as an egg hitting a rock!

"Take them all back and torture them severely. Don't let go of any information about any auction house that is less than five times the auction house."

Xi Jia Qiangwu looked at Xi Junzi's body again and shook his head. "The life force is burned out, only the body is left. Go back and bury it!"

At this time, many people who were implicated and arrested shouted out their innocence and begged for mercy.

"We are innocent and have nothing to do with the auction house. Please understand."

"That's it!"

Xi Jiaqiangwu seemed to be thinking about something, and gave a decisive order, "Catch him first and interrogate him. If it is confirmed that he has no connection... kill him."

He explained, "Bloody means show determination! Otherwise, how can we cut off the roots of illegal auction houses?"

"You are indeed innocent, but this is a serious matter, so I have to sacrifice you."

After a burst of crying and noise, the Xi family swept away everything in the place and left.

The area around the cave turned into a deserted ghost town with only the ruins of the previous fight left and no living creature was left.

Zhou You exhaled. He did not show up because the task on the panel was still hanging...

"Trial Project (Five Star): Escape from the attention of a powerful person."

In other words, although the people had evacuated, Xi Jiaqiang's spies were still there, keeping an eye on the surroundings of the cave.

This guy is very cunning and will not miss any clues about the auction house. It seems that we need to observe him for a long time.

Zhou You remained patient and lay dormant for more than half a month. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been unable to hide long ago.

But his stealth ability, which allows him to imitate cold-blooded animals, lowers his body temperature and reduces his energy consumption, allowing him to survive by absorbing water through contact between his skin and the stone wall.

A month later, Xi Jiaqiang's gaze disappeared.

After Zhou You confirmed that everything was correct, he sneaked out of his hiding place and slowly moved to a safe place.

Sure enough, there were quite a few Xi family members outside, dressed as passers-by and vendors, staring at any suspicious characters.

Throughout the entire Chongguang City, there were Xi family followers patrolling and searching everywhere. It seemed that this misconduct was very serious.

The auction's methods were bloody and cruel, which made the Xi family furious. They were willing to mobilize the entire clan to find the other party's whereabouts, and even many underground auctions were affected.

"Hey, Lu Zhigang's identity can't be used for the time being."

Zhou You shook his head, the situation has been too tense lately.

He was walking on the road when suddenly someone approached quickly from behind and slapped him on the shoulder.

Zhou You pretended to be surprised and turned around to see that it was indeed the fat man from the auction house. It was hard to mistake his footsteps with such heavy weight.

"Find me?"

The fat man nodded affirmatively, "Help me in an emergency, I just happen to need your help with something."
