Douluo: Wuhun Seven Killing Sword, Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven

Chapter 298: Walking into a Trap, Xue Xing's Uncle and Nephew Get into Trouble (Part 2)

Prince's Mansion.

The avalanche was coming in a hurry.

"Uncle, uncle, great news, great news." Xue Beng said with great joy.

Xue Xing looked calm and said unhappily: "Beng'er, how many times have I told you to stay calm when encountering things? How can you fight Xue Qinghe with your current state!"

Xue Beng quickly calmed down and said seriously: "Uncle, haven't you always wanted to get a treasure that can help you break through your strength? There will be such a treasure at the auction in Tiandou City tonight."

Xue Xing himself possesses the strength of a Soul Sage. If he can break through to the Soul Douluo level, his influence in the court of the Heaven Dou Empire will increase significantly.

In particular, Xue Ye’s physical condition is now deteriorating rapidly, and they don’t have much time left.

"Beng'er, are you telling the truth?" Xue Xing said excitedly.

Xue Beng grumbled a few words, "Uncle, you asked me to stay calm, but when you encounter something serious, you will lose your composure as well."

Xue Xing snorted coldly, "Don't interrupt. Have you sent someone to block the news? If other people know about it, we won't be able to take pictures of this treasure."

Although Xue Beng acted eccentrically, he was not stupid. He immediately sent people to block the news of such important news.

Tonight's auction was an ordinary auction, and not many people paid attention to it. Therefore, after the news was blocked, the outside world had no way of knowing about it, and no one would pay attention to it.

Hearing this, Xue Xing was overjoyed, "Okay, follow me to the auction house. Such an important item cannot be snatched away by others."

Not daring to stay any longer, Xue Xing rushed to the Tiandou Auction House with his guards.

On the other side, Chen Lei had been waiting in the auction hall for a long time.

The person who sent the items for auction was a leader among the Shadow Guards, and no one would suspect that this was a setup.

Moreover, since it was not a top-tier auction, the auction house had no time to build momentum in a short period of time.

Therefore, Ling Xuexing and his nephew thought this was a big mistake.

……

Soon, Xue Xing and his guards rushed into the auction house and found the person in charge.

"Where is the herb that improves strength!" Xue Xing asked anxiously.

The person in charge of the auction house said indifferently, "Your Highness, since it is already an item, there is no reason to buy it before the auction starts."

The Tiandou Auction House has royal shares behind it, so most of the time, Xue Xing would take the items without paying, and as long as no one pursued the matter, he wouldn't be in any trouble.

But the royal family is not the only shareholder of the auction house, and Xue Xing cannot go too far, lest Xue Qinghe catches her.

After calming down, he asked, "When will the auction of this herb begin? What is the starting price? What is the estimated ceiling price?"

These things can be said in advance.

The auctioneer responded, "The starting price is 100,000 gold soul coins. However, there is only one of this plant. After the auctioneer's appraisal, it is found that the spiritual energy of this plant is indeed rich, but whether it can improve the level of a soul master after absorption is still unknown. Therefore, the upper limit price is around 300,000 gold soul coins. If it is more, it will be too risky."

This is a second-rate immortal herb provided by Ning Tianchen, with the purpose of luring Xue Xing and his nephew into taking the bait.

As expected, Xue Xing and his nephew reacted violently.

"Uncle, we can afford 300,000 gold soul coins. Why don't we wait a little longer and then we will do our best to take it down." Xue Beng said.

Xue Xing thought for a moment and asked again, "You haven't told me yet, when will this item be auctioned?"

The person in charge of the auction house explained, "There are thirty items ahead of this one, and the auction is expected to be held in the evening. If Your Highness is not in a hurry, you can wait in the auction house for a while."

The breakthrough is just around the corner, there is no need to rush.

With this in mind, Prince Xuexing and Avalanche entered the red VIP lounge and waited.

……

In the Prince's Mansion, Ning Tianchen and Xue Qinghe sat here to discuss countermeasures.

After hearing the shadow guard's report, Ning Tianchen smiled and said, "The urn is ready, just waiting for Prince Xuexing to jump in."

He did not inform Ning Fengzhi about this matter. The other party's position was very clear, and he would definitely stand on Xue Qinghe's side.

Therefore, when something happens, Ning Fengzhi will make the correct response.

Furthermore, if the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect took the initiative to help Dugu Bo, wouldn't the other party transfer the person they owed the favor to from Prince Xuexing to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?

Having decided to help Dugu Bo, Ning Tianchen certainly doesn't want to plot against him.

"Tianchen, your idea is good, but it is difficult to take the opportunity to completely 'kill' Xue Xing. Dugu Bo has never joined the Tiandou royal family, so it is unlikely that you can do something to him." Xue Qinghe explained the pros and cons.

Ning Tianchen shook his head, "This is just a warm-up. We will first pull out a part of Prince Xuexing's forces. We can't eat a fat man in one go. To completely trip him up, we need more planning."

"Your Highness, I cannot show up in this matter. The rest depends on you and Uncle Ning. But the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect must not be informed of this matter. I have already informed Dean Ke, and he will not say anything nonsense."

"Also, you must treat this matter as an emergency. Don't show any flaws. Make sure this matter is seamless."

Prince Xuexing was able to survive many court struggles and was trusted by Xue Ye. No one would believe that he had no means.

If Xue Qinghe handled this matter too perfectly, when Prince Xuexing realized what was happening, he would probably face a serious counterattack. By then, both sides would inevitably suffer losses.

"I know what's going on. But you can only stay by my side today and wait for someone in the palace to send a message before you leave." Xue Qinghe smiled and said, "It just so happens that I have something to tell you."

Ning Tianchen nodded.

Xue Qinghe continued: "I want to ask you, if one day, the Spirit Hall attacks the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, causing the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to suffer heavy losses, can we still continue to cooperate with each other?"

"Of course, the Spirit Hall I'm talking about is the Pope's Hall."

Ning Tianchen pretended to be indifferent and said, "You said that Pope Bibi Dong can only mobilize two Titled Douluo, Jue Gui. With their strength, they are still no match for Grandpa and Grandpa Gu. If Bibi Dong does it herself, haha, no matter how crazy she is, she won't be stupid enough to do it herself."

In the original time and space, the Spirit Hall's soul hunting operation mobilized the two Titled Douluo, Snake Spear and Thornsblood, who were beside Qian Renxue.

Therefore, she must be aware of this matter.

By asking this, she was preparing for the worst.

Bibi Dong's strength was getting stronger and stronger, and the Worship Hall was gradually unable to suppress her. When that time came, Qian Renxue didn't want to be an enemy of Ning Tianchen, especially since she was still on Ning Tianchen's body and felt the fluctuation of divine power.

In the future, if a war of gods really breaks out, the Spirit Hall will suffer heavy losses. Besides, Qian Renxue doesn't think that she will definitely be able to obtain the inheritance of the Angel God.

"It's just a hypothesis. Don't worry. Feel free to speak your mind."

Ning Tianchen said: "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. As long as you don't go along with Bibi Dong, when the time comes, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's only enemy will be Bibi Dong."

"However, if Bibi Dong wants to destroy the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, she will also have to sacrifice a piece of her own flesh. Without losing more than two Titled Douluo, she won't be able to achieve any results."

"Of course, no one wants to make the worst-case scenario plan. When the time comes, I hope Brother Xue can mediate."

He wasn't just saying this for nothing.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Sect has hot weapons and hidden weapons, and the strength of Sword Bone Douluo has been improved by one level compared to the original time and space. In addition, dragon breath bombs have been laid around the sect. Unless the Spirit Hall can withstand a high battle loss ratio, the tragedy of the original time and space will basically not happen.

But Bibi Dong was not aware of all this and no one tried to stop it, so the Soul Hunting Operation would most likely still happen.

Xue Qinghe nodded and said, "Of course."

……

Time passed by minute by minute.

As soon as night fell, the second-rate immortal grass provided by Ning Tianchen was taken out from the Tiandou Auction House.

The moment the auctioneer untied the red cloth and saw that there was only a medicinal herb in the tray, the guests immediately lost interest.

"What the hell, Tiandou Auction House is so shameless that they even dare to auction a piece of broken grass?"

"That is, maybe they think that making money is too easy, so they are so abstract."

Seeing that the item left a bad impression on the guests, the auctioneer hurriedly explained: "Dear guests, don't be deceived by the appearance of this item."

"This thing is called Tianshan Ice and Snow Grass. It is one of the best medicinal herbs."

This kind of semi-immortal product only grows in the Arctic ice field. Not to mention that these guests are not aware of the efficacy of this thing, even people living in the Far North rarely know the efficacy of this thing.

Fortunately, the Snow Mountain Sect had extremely detailed records of medicinal materials, so we didn't miss this thing.

Seeing that the auction was about to cool down, the auctioneer hurriedly talked about the powerful effect of this item, "Dear guests, it doesn't matter if you haven't heard of the name of this item. You just need to know that after absorbing this item, the soul master's own soul power level can be improved in a short period of time. I can use the reputation of the auction house to guarantee that the effect of this item is real and effective."

"What! Improve soul power!" For a moment, the guests in the auction hall became very interested in this.

The soul power level is quickly improved, which can save a lot of time for cultivation. Whether it is given to the younger generation or taken by oneself, the effect is very good. Seeing that the atmosphere in the auction hall has reached a climax, the auctioneer hurriedly announced: "This Tianshan Ice and Snow Grass has a starting price of 100,000 gold soul coins. Each bid must not be less than 10,000 gold soul coins. The auction begins!"

It was just an ordinary auction, and few of the guests present could come up with 100,000 gold soul coins.

Although everyone was very enthusiastic, only a few people made offers.

After several rounds of bidding, the price just broke through 170,000 gold soul coins.

People who are short of funds may have some doubts about the authenticity of this item.

Tiandou Auction House does have a good reputation, but there have been several blunders in history.

The auction house does not support returns after the buyer purchases the item.

These people feel that if the effect of this item is really good, it should be put on the top auction instead of the current continuous auction.

Among the guests present, the only red VIP was Prince Snow Star.

Seeing that the bidding was about to come to an end, Xue Beng said with a smile: "Uncle, we can make an offer. These people have limited financial resources, so I think they can buy this item at a low price."

In order to avoid any accidents, Xue Xing decided to pay for the item.

You know, the value of Tianshan Ice and Snow Grass is extraordinary. If the major owners behind the Tiandou Auction House react and he does not pay, he will definitely be pressured by all parties to take this item back.

Once he pays the money, the item will belong to him. Even if the owner behind the Tiandou Auction House realizes it, he can only suffer in silence.

"Two hundred thousand gold soul coins." Xue Xing raised the bidding card in his hand.

"The red VIP seat has made an offer!"

Originally, several guests who were fighting for the Tianshan Ice and Snow Grass suddenly stopped fighting.

Black and lower VIPs only need money, but red VIPs are not like that. Not only do they need money, they also need power.

Ordinary businessmen dare not offend the red VIP.

Seeing that no one continued to bid, the auctioneer announced: "Two hundred thousand gold soul coins per time. I hope you all understand that treasures that can enhance soul power are rare even in top-level auctions. If you miss this time, you may have to wait a long time next time."

"Two hundred thousand twice, is there anyone else bidding, like two hundred and ten thousand gold soul coins?"

In the VIP seats, Xue Xing frowned, "This guy is too long-winded!"

He just wanted to take a picture of it and then quickly return to his mansion to avoid any further complications.

"Two hundred thousand three times." The auctioneer dropped the hammer, "OK~"

The word "hand over" was not spoken, and someone in the white VIP seat held up a sign, "Three hundred thousand gold soul coins."

There is no rule at the auction house that bidding cannot continue after the hammer falls.

As long as the next item is not auctioned yet, you can increase the price at any time during this period.

"Who dares to steal my things!" Prince Xuexing stood up and scanned the entire auction hall with a stern look!
A noble lady on the white ordinary seat stretched out her arms and said, "I want this thing too, so let's bid fairly."

Xue Xing's mouth twitched slightly.

Every time Ning Fengzhi came to the auction house, unless it was a top-tier auction, he would sit in the white seat.

Xue Xing had suffered several losses at the hands of the other party and had learned his lesson.

"Who is this woman from? How dare she go against me? Investigate her identity. I will deal with her for a while."

The guard team received the order and immediately started to investigate the other party's identity.

Chen Lei sat in her seat, calm and composed, not taking the other person seriously at all.

Prince Xuexing raised the price little by little, delaying the time.

How could the auctioneer not know him? Before he spoke, he could only say irrelevant things and delay the transaction.

Many of the guests present recognized Prince Xuexing. At the same time, they looked at Chen Lei with respect for daring to confront Prince Xuexing.

It was obvious that they had been bullied by Prince Xuexing many times.

In contrast, Chen Lei was ruthless when it came to raising the price.

After all, Ning Tianchen gave her a budget of one million gold soul coins, which was just the beginning.

Moreover, after the items are sold, the money will return to Ning Tianchen.

About an incense stick later, the captain of the guard whispered a few words to Xue Xing.

"Your Highness, there is no such person in Tiandou City. There is no record of her entering the city. She may be a local who has just returned to Tiandou City recently, or she may have been exempted and entered the city directly."

The first situation is easy to understand. After all, the other party is a woman. It is possible that she has been married for many years and has only recently returned to her hometown. As for the second situation, only one type of people have been exempted from entering the city recently - scholars participating in the academic exchange conference held by the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.

But in Xuexing's mind, the other person's appearance was completely inconsistent with the image of a scholar.

Therefore, he concluded that the other party could only be the first case.

"You old woman, you are too young to fight with me!"

Currently, the price of Tianshan Ice and Snow Grass has been raised to 480,000 gold soul coins, which is beyond the range of gold soul coins that Xue Xing can control, and he is unable to bid for it.

However, there are more ways to obtain auction items than just bidding.

As Prince Xuexing left with his guards, the auctioneer on the stage finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly announced that the item belonged to Chen Lei.

……

In order to wait for Prince Xuexing to complete his deployment, Chen Lei stayed in the auction hall for a while longer.

It was already late at night when she finally paid the money and took the items away.

After leaving the auction house, she clearly felt someone following her. She pretended not to notice and walked step by step towards the trap set by Prince Xuexing.

"Uncle, she's coming." Xue Beng looked at Chen Lei in the distance fiercely.

Except for Ning Fengzhi, no one could snatch the things that their uncle and nephew liked. Chen Lei deliberately went against them at the auction, clearly wanting to embarrass them!
How could they swallow this?

Xue Xing sneered, "Humph, she is going wild under my nose, and there is only one end for her."

"All of you, come on, capture her and take back the Tianshan Ice and Snow Grass! Don't delay too long and don't attract the attention of the city guards."

Since the assassination that year, the city guards had been replaced with batches of people, and the spies planted by Prince Xuexing had long been removed. If the city guards caught him committing a crime, someone would impeach him in the court tomorrow.

Soon, Chen Lei, who was walking normally on the road, was surrounded by a group of soldiers in armor.

Prince Xuexing and Xuebeng walked out at the same time and said viciously, "You damn old woman, you stole my things, and you thought you could leave so easily? Haha, hand over the Tianshan Ice and Snow Grass, and I might let you go."

Now that his identity has been exposed, of course he has to kill to silence the witness.

If such a disgraceful matter is not handled properly, it will definitely be criticized!

Chen Lei calmly asked back, "Prince Xuexing, so you want to attack me?"

Xue Beng cursed angrily: "Stop talking nonsense and hand over the things immediately!"

Chen Lei suddenly became angry and said in a more serious tone, "Are you sure you want to fight me?"

"Stop talking nonsense and be quick." After saying that, Xue Xing turned around and stopped talking nonsense with the other party.

His guards rushed forward, trying to devour Chen Lei.

Bang, bang~ After a series of metal collision sounds, there was no movement behind Prince Xuexing.

He reminded: "Clean up the scene and don't leave any traces."

"Are you talking to me?" Chen Lei's voice came.

Xue Xing's uncle and nephew turned around suddenly, and saw that all the guards of the Prince's Mansion had their throats cut. Chen Lei held a sharp scimitar, and eight soul rings of yellow, purple, black and black appeared under her feet.

Moreover, the soul power fluctuations emanating from her body were clearly not that of a primary Soul Douluo.

Xue Xing was stunned in the spot, and couldn't help but roar in his heart: "Impossible, how could she be a Contra!"

If he strikes the opponent first, there is no way the opponent will let him go.

Xue Beng's body went limp and he collapsed to the ground, with yellow and white substances flowing out of his trouser legs.

It's over, it's over!
