Chapter 285: Robbing the Auction Item
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Everyone involuntarily closed their eyes.
Although their physical eyes were shut, their spiritual awareness could still perceive.
A dark figure swiftly left the platform.
However, it wasn’t the auctioneer.
Someone was attempting to steal the Boundary Wall Key!
“d.a.m.n, this brother has some nerve! He dares to rob an item at the Shadow Tower auction! This is the first time I’ve seen someone attempting a robbery at a Shadow Tower auction!” He Lianjun exclaimed with excitement.
The experts from the Shadow Tower were numerous, and their methods leaned toward the sinister.
They spoke with strength, and their means of dealing with enemies were extremely ruthless. Anyone causing trouble on the Shadow Tower’s territory would have their hides stripped.
As for those who dared to provoke the Shadow Tower, they were simply asking for death!
The moment the unexpected happened, the Shadow Tower’s experts quickly rushed from all directions, blocking the thief’s path.
The auction attendees, seeing that the Shadow Tower was prepared, sat back, waiting for the Shadow Tower to deal with this audacious thief.
In the open s.p.a.ce beside the platform, a man in black attire with a ghostly mask engaged in battle with dozens of Shadow Tower experts.
The Shadow Tower’s people moved with eerie grace and coordination, and every move and technique they used was deadly.
The man in the black mask wasn’t a pushover either. Without some skills, he wouldn’t have dared to steal the Key.
He fought while retreating.
One of the high-ranking Shadow Tower officials shouted, “Don’t let him get close to the exit!”
The Shadow Tower’s people immediately fortified the path leading to the door.
The man in the black mask, realizing he couldn’t break through the encirclement, suddenly charged toward the seating area where the auction attendees were situated.
Right towards—
Coincidentally, it happened to be the place where Gu Qingluan was at!
Had the man in the black mask chosen to battle the Shadow Tower in the open s.p.a.ce, the auction attendees might not have intervened.
But by approaching them directly, he ensured they wouldn’t remain pa.s.sive observers.
Someone among them had their hand emitting a glowing light, preparing to launch an attack.
However, much to their surprise, the man in the black mask suddenly threw something from his hand into the midst of the crowd.
“All, it’s the Key!”
The crowd was excited, rus.h.i.+ng towards the object he had thrown.
The man in the black mask took advantage of the chaos and slipped into the crowd.
Gu Qingluan, with sharp eyes, noticed a fleeting golden light from him.
The arcane aura emitted at that moment was all too familiar to Gu Qingluan.
Her pupils contracted sharply, and she swiftly got up and chased after the man in the black mask.
“Brother Jun, where are you going?” He Lianjun was puzzled and quickly followed her.
After chasing for a while, Gu Qingluan lost track of the man.
He Lianjun caught up, gasping for breath. “Brother Jun, what’s going on?”
“I have something to do; don’t follow me!” Gu Qingluan said in a stern tone, her clear peach blossom eyes scanning the entire area.
A short while ago, she had successfully tracked him using her divine sense, but she was baffled by how he had eluded her detection since then.
“Do you need any help?” He Lianjun asked.
Gu Qingluan didn’t inform him of her plan. After realizing there was no trace of the intruder, she intended to go directly to the Shadow Tower’s personnel to inquire about the Primordial Gold Needle.
She hoped she was mistaken.
The Primordial Gold Needle should not have been stolen by that man in the black mask.
Currently, the Shadow Tower had sealed off all exits, not allowing anyone in or out.
“I’m going to settle my deal. You can leave or wait outside,” Gu Qingluan told He Lianjun.
He Lianjun was curious about what she had just acquired, but he also knew that he wouldn’t get answers at this moment. He nodded and said, “1’11 wait here for you.”
Gu Qingluan approached a building, displayed her emblem, and after the guards at the entrance verified her ident.i.ty, they escorted her into a stone chamber..
