Chapter 97: Who Did It?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was extremely strange that everyone had disappeared overnight.
The people of the big sects looked at each other. Everyone’s eyes revealed the same message: ‘Were you guys the ones who did it?’
After all, a mysterious person had bought the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram, and only the Jingdu auction house knew his identity and appearance. They would definitely try to get information out of them, so it was inevitable for the two sides to have a dispute.
The people in the auction house were all quite powerful, and there were even some experts present. However, no one heard anything strange, and there were no signs of a fight.
Only the seven great sects were able to do this without anyone knowing.
The people from the Misty Illusory Manor were the first to launch an attack. They said, “The people from the Heaven Sect are really good. They actually took action so quickly. They should know the whereabouts of the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram. So why did they come here today and put on such a good show? ”
At this time, whoever admitted it would be the target of public criticism. The people of the Heaven Sect immediately glared at them. They had not done this at all.
“What nonsense are you making up? What evidence do you have to prove that we did it? I think it’s more like it was done by your people from the Misty Illusory Manor. You’re even trying to put the blame on us now.”
“Other than you guys, who else present is the most suspicious? If you did it then you did it. What’s there to be ashamed of?”
“It’s obvious that you’re the ones who are trying to frame us, and you’re even trying to divert everyone’s attention. What a vicious heart. Your cultivation strength is not that great, but you’re more scheming than others.”
“I think the Sword Sect is also very suspicious. There is also Dao Seeking Sect. They said that something happened in the sect and didn’t come here today. They are also very suspicious.”
Everyone was quarreling with each other.
The people of the seven great sects were all gathered here except for two sects. The Sword Sect was not interested in this, and the Dao Seeking Sect knew that the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram had been destroyed after the great elder’s attack, so they couldn’t be bothered to come.
“Can you guys stop quarreling? Don’t forget your status.”
In the end, it was an elder who stepped in and quelled the crowd’s debate. He was a highly respected and powerful person. He was the grand elder of the Heaven Sect, so they had to show him some respect.
“Why don’t you think about it carefully? Even if we were to make a move, how could there be no commotion at all under the watchful eyes of so many people? The people of the auction house are not stupid.”
“Everyone disappeared after one night, but we didn’t receive any news. There are too many suspicious points in this matter.”
No one from the major sects was convinced. After everyone calmed down, they found that these words did make sense. Even they couldn’t execute such a plan to the extent that no one find out.
“Perhaps they were drugged. In any case, this matter has nothing to do with our Misty Illusory Manor.”
“It has nothing to do with our Heaven Sect.”
“It has nothing to do with our Yaochi Holy Land as well.”
Everyone expressed their stance on this matter one after another, and none of them seemed to be lying, which simply made people very worried.
Someone guessed, “If none of us really made a move, then could it be that the people in the auction house were worried that we would come to find trouble with them, so they ran away?”
This was not impossible, but after thinking about it carefully, it felt a little ridiculous.
“This is their headquarters. It’s not worth it to give up the business that they’ve been running for so many years.”
“They are smart. They have 800,000 supreme-grade spirit stones. Together with the spirit stones that they have earned, they can go to another place and start over. Why should they stay here?”
“But even if they escaped on their own, there are so many of them. They had to have made some noise. My people were guarding the door, but they didn’t discover anything strange.”
After the auction ended, the seven great sects all sent people to keep an eye on the Jingdu auction house. They wanted to get more detailed information or to see if the mysterious person had any dealings with the auction house afterward.
“My men also reported that there was nothing unusual.”
Everyone was puzzled and could not figure out the reason.
Very quickly, the news of what happened at the Jingdu auction house spread to the outside world. Once again, all sorts of exaggerations were added to the public’s discussion, instantly pushing it to a climax.
“This is unprecedented. The people in the auction house disappeared into thin air, and the people from the seven big sects don’t admit that they did it.”
“Who would believe that? It must be that one of the sects. In order to get the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram, one of the sects came up with this plan and captured all the people at the auction house.”
“But the Jingdu auction house isn’t one to be trifled with. Is it worth it for an incomplete Hetu and Luoshu Diagram?”
“You don’t understand. So what if it’s incomplete? As long as they can become immortals, there’s no problem. The seven big sects aren’t easy to deal with either.”
All in all, rumors spread everywhere, saying all sorts of things. Some said that the Jingdu auction house had already been taken away by people from the seven great sects, while others said that they had run away on their own.
Everyone was in a heated discussion. The Sword Sect and the Dao Seeking Sect were not idle either.
Mo Jianming’s injuries had almost recovered under the nourishment of the soul-returning pills. However, the Dao Seeking Sect’s great elder was a little unlucky.
The wisp of Sword Qi on his palm couldn’t be discharged even now, so the huge gap in the center of his palm couldn’t be healed. He could only wrap it up to prevent others from seeing traces of it.
Although it wasn’t a fatal wound, the wisp of Sword Qi was constantly wreaking havoc on his body. In general, it wasn’t a problem. The great elder wanted to force it out, but he almost suffered a backlash. His face instantly became extremely pale.
“What’s the origin of this Sword Qi? It’s just a wisp but it’s so difficult to deal with.”
The great elder didn’t dare to imagine who the person who wielded this Sword Qi was. The great elder was afraid that even he himself wasn’t a match for the wielder of this Sword Qi.
“That kid should be dead by now.”
