Destiny is ashes

Chapter 114 The Center of the Storm

"Ancient magic item?"

An Jing was slightly startled. He remembered what Boss Jilu said about the fundamental reason why Luofu Group fought with Shouyang Group and invaded the black market: "Could it be... that ancient wonder?"

The sword spirit did not answer, and it was obvious that he was not sure, but how many ancient treasures could there be in the black market today?
The reason why Fengdu Wei is rampaging in this black market is because he is sure that this rare item is in the black market.

The ancient wonder that created all this...

"Hey."

An Jing suddenly laughed, cheerful and sunny: "Fu Xie, what do you say? Let's take this rare item away and make both sides fighting for it anxious?"

"As a fairy sword." Fu Xie said: "I don't support you stealing, robbing, and killing for your own selfish desires, nor do I approve of you using the death of others as an excuse to seek personal gain for yourself - although I know you are not doing it for yourself, this is just a reminder."

"But..." He changed the subject.

"But?" An Jing asked.

"But I am broken." Fu Xie said: "Even the Taoist master Buddha would close his eyes and doze off, let alone me?"

"it is good."

With a light chuckle, An Jing felt more and more that Fu Xie was indeed of the same kind as himself.

What they were thinking about were not what normal people would think. Most people would definitely want to escape from the center of the storm when encountering such a thing, but neither Fu Xie nor himself had the slightest related thought.

On the contrary, they are eager to rush into the center of the storm and stir up the situation.

If not, how could he be the destiny?
While communicating with Fu Xie, An Jing was paying attention to the video transmitted back by the drone.

"Eh." He exclaimed softly, realizing something was wrong: "This person is heading towards the escape passage of Xiaozhe Mountain."

"And looking at this guy's pace... he is obviously being chased by someone!"

After confirming the other party's path of action, An Jing suddenly became suspicious.

There was nothing wrong with heading towards the escape passage at Xiaozhe Mountain, as the female clerk had also said, this was a shared escape passage - but being chased by someone would be extremely terrifying.

——Who will chase him?

——Fengdu Wei!
And, for some reason, An Jing suddenly thought of something.

The trademark of Xiaozheshan is a red mountain and golden morning glow.

Lonely Peak Chaoyang, Shouyang... Mining related...

——The first of the ten meridians is called Mount Shouyang, on which there are many golds and jades, but no plants or trees.

Oops!

An Jing opened his eyes wide, came to his senses, took a breath, and realized what he had overlooked.

When he first went to Xiaozhe Mountain, he didn't know the distribution and symbolism of power in Tianyuan Realm, but now that he thinks about it, isn't Xiaozhe Mountain a subsidiary industry of Shouyang Group? !
Moreover, Xiaozheshan can use the Gufeng Chaoyang trademark, which is its core industry!

A lot of information flowed through An Jing's mind.

——When Luofu lost the ancient artifact, people from Shouyang Group were nearby. The two sides fought immediately, and the aftermath spread to the entire city.

This battle led to many gang organizations attacking each other, which was the cause of the riot that An Jing and Huo Qing encountered in Fuchenyuan.

Then, An Jing returned to Huaixu Realm.

When he came to Tianyuan Realm again, he went straight to the black market.

During this period of time, the person who got the ancient artifacts, now assumed to be the people from Shouyang Mountain, also hid in the black market, but was still caught by the people from Luofu.

After tracking all the way and confirming that the target was right here, the Fengdu Guards of the Jiantian Bureau directly attacked the black market, and the aftermath of the fight caused huge casualties.

Finally, a fellow with the aura of an ancient artifact on him was being chased, hiding carefully, and preparing to leave the black market using the escape passage shared by Xiaozheshan and other allies!

Needless to say, Xiaozheshan’s allies are most likely companies under Shouyang Group!

That shared escape passage should have been set up in the black market by the branches and subordinate enterprises of Shouyang Group!

The matter is now clear. The Shouyang Group snatched food from the mouth of the Luofu Group and transferred the hatred to the black market under Xuandu, and the thieves will use the escape route of the Shouyang Group to leave the black market.

There are many doubts. But no matter whether it was done by Shouyang Group or not, at least people like An Jing who are now working in Shouyang's industries are very dangerous!
“We have to go!”

An Jing made a prompt decision and immediately prepared to leave, packing up his things and leaving Xiaozhe Mountain.

All the companies in the Shouyang Group will definitely be strictly inspected, and Xiaozheshan is no exception. Although he does want to find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Fengdu Guards and give a sword to the treasure thief from Shouyang Mountain who caused all this, he definitely does not want to ambush in a place where the other party will be on high alert.

But when An Jing packed up all his equipment and was about to leave Xiaozheshan shop, he saw the body of the female clerk.

A doubt suddenly arose in his mind.

——It is certain that Xiaozheshan is from Shouyang, but the "Unknown Good Deeds Certificate Card" given to him by the clerk is "Universal in Lianshan Bank".

Black market transactions and smuggling proceeds should be the clerk's own embezzlement or he should have done an "illegal private transaction" with other people like the horse-tailed manager who had traded spirit stones with him before.

There was nothing wrong with the accounts, but she made some money.

In this case, you really shouldn't use Shouyang's own bank cards.

But even so, in this black market, we should use Xuandu series cards, right?

Why Lianshan...

"How many conspiracies and intrigues are there among these powerful groups of cultivators?"

An Jing narrowed his eyes. He originally just felt that something was wrong instinctively, but now that he thought about it carefully, he found that there were more fishy things.

According to An Jing, the number of casualties on the third floor was far less than that on the second floor which was directly attacked.

This means that when the Fengdu guards attacked, the female clerk had time to escape at the first opportunity, and she had no reason to guard the store at this time.

But the fact is that she defended the store so stubbornly that she was attacked by thugs who appeared behind her and was seriously injured and on the verge of death.

Why didn't she leave immediately? What on earth made a mother who loved her child so much risk staying here?
And the most important point...

An Jing thought of the information transmitted by the drone, which showed the entrance to the Xiaozheshan escape passage filled with corpses.

Suspicion had already arisen, and after careful consideration, An Jing could confirm that no matter what the reason was, even if it was a gunfight for a chance to escape, not so many people would have died.

That might be a trap!
But the female clerk in the shop didn't know it was a trap, so she gave An Jing the map anyway.

"If that's a trap..." An Jing said to himself solemnly, "Who is it going to capture?"

The answer is obvious...it's the person carrying the 'ancient treasure'!
"Wait a little longer." An Jing stopped walking, raised his head, looked in the direction of the escape passage, frowned, "Something is wrong... Let's take a look at the situation."

If his guess was right...

"excuse me."

In order to confirm his idea, An Jing strode towards the corpse of the female cultivator from Xiaozheshan, with the Qi circulating in his body and golden energy flowing.

He raised his right hand and sucked out the two bullet heads that had sunk into the opponent's chest and abdomen.

Not only that, An Jing also activated the Taibai Haoling Divine Prohibition and quickly found the bullet that caused the real fatal injury and pierced the back of the clerk's head inside the counter.

The three bullets are completely different.

Either one person is holding three guns of different calibers, or three people are holding a gun each - obviously the latter is more normal.

But that's not the point.

"There's actually a bullet..." An Jing studied the bullet in his hand, frowned and murmured, "Such a weak gangster?"

After all, he has been in the Tianyuan Realm for quite some time, and has been trying his best to obtain information about this realm every day, so An Jing knows very well that the gunpowder weapons in this world are actually for those little cultivators below the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Because above the fourth level of Qi Refining, one can easily control spiritual instruments and magic tools, use sword boxes and spiritual instruments and other magical weapons that are far more powerful than gunpowder weapons, can melt gold and iron, and penetrate bulletproof raincoats!

Of course, if you have a spiritual furnace, you can naturally control it across levels, but its use is restricted and it is difficult to do as you wish.

Only the poor lower-level gangsters and low-level criminals would use gunpowder weapons and leave traces like "bullets".
