Chapter 129—

"But, Holy Maiden... if we just leave the body there, won't they become suspicious because the clues are too obvious?"

Suddenly, Wu Yun looked up and asked a very crucial question.

That is, they left the corpses of the Soul Douluo from the Body Sect directly in those two places. If everything was done too obviously, the Mingde Hall, the Body Sect, and Shrek Academy would all become suspicious.

Qian Lingyun, however, did not care at all.

"Of course I knew they would be suspicious, which is why I had the sect leader send only Title Douluos!" Qian Lingyun glanced around at everyone present and said in a deep voice, "If you, as Title Douluos, don't even have the ability to create a scene and clean up the mess, then I don't know what the point of sending you here is!"

"Our attempt to frame someone is based on an unknown foundation!"

"Of the three parties, only Mingdetang is aware of our existence. As for Mingdetang... if we handle things carefully or give them some more misleading information, will they abandon the clues right in front of them and come after us?"

"Also, on the day of the auction, I will participate in the auction as a member of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Remember to keep a distance from me that day, whether you are close or far."

After speaking, Qian Lingyun took out the token Ning Tian had given her, tossed it in her hand, and slowly sat down, glancing around before whispering, "Do any of you elders have any further questions?"

"Then how should this manpower be allocated?" Wuyun asked again.

"Well... let me think about it," Qian Lingyun said after a moment's thought.

"The four directions of Star Luo City will be allocated by the worshippers themselves! The Vice Master and three elders will oversee the auction!"

After speaking, Qian Lingyun pulled out all of Hu Liena's soul bones and the soul bones given to her by Ye Xishui from her storage soul tool, pushed them in front of everyone, bowed deeply, and said:

"These soul bones are all I have left. I implore the elders and devotees to help me obtain that supreme treasure!"

"What is the Holy Maiden doing?" Feng Ling frowned, puzzled. "The leader's orders are for us to cooperate with all your reasonable actions, so what are you doing..."

"It's enough that the Holy Maiden has such a kind heart. My brother and I already have our soul bones complete, so we won't accept the Holy Maiden's soul bones." The Soul Slayer Douluo glanced at the pile of soul bones, and felt a little more appreciation for this sensible junior.

"The sect leader's order is the sect leader's order, these soul bones are my personal decision!" Qian Lingyun explained, feigning nonchalance, but her heart was bleeding...

Hu Liena's soul bones are priceless; even at tonight's top auction, they would be among the last few items to appear, not to mention the two leg soul bones that Ye Xishui kindly gifted her.

"Hehehe! Since the Holy Maiden is so generous, this old man will definitely do his utmost to share the Holy Maiden's burdens!" Bloodthirsty Douluo chuckled and, without any politeness, directly picked out the head soul bone from the pile of soul bones, which looked expensive.

"I...I don't want the soul bone anymore," Scorpion Tiger Douluo said, but simply moved to the side.

The other titled Douluo exchanged glances and began distributing their soul bones with smiles.

Crow Douluo chose the torso soul bone left by Hu Liena, while the others each chose a decent limb soul bone.

As for the last pair of leg bones, Qian Lingyun happily sent them to the auction house to replenish her resources...

A few days later, Mei Douluo, relying on her outstanding appearance and mental suggestion-type soul skills, successfully infiltrated the high-end waiter team of the Starlight Auction House. From then on, she changed her place for catching rich men and carrying out her actual operations.

Feng Ling used her formidable cultivation to infiltrate the Starlight Auction House, marking each special passage used to protect the auctioneers' escape route. She then assigned these passages to the Third and Fourth Elders, who were tasked with monitoring Shrek Academy and Mingde Hall.

Once it's determined which company won the bid for the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo that day, notify everyone outside the city, follow them, and then swarm in and beat them to death with a flurry of punches...

A few days later, when a strange knock sounded at the door, Qian Lingyun opened it. The person who came was the auctioneer she had attended for the first time. If she remembered correctly, the auctioneer's name was Qi Qi.

"Miss, the top-tier auction I mentioned to you last time will begin tonight. I'm sure you'll see something of interest at the auction."

As she spoke, she took out a stack of invitations and placed them on the table. Then, with a smile, she bowed again and said, "I won't disturb you any longer. I apologize again." As she spoke, she slowly backed away, exited the room, and closed the door behind her.

Qian Lingyun counted them, and there were exactly four people in the room, no more and no less. Holding the invitations from the Starlight Auction House, the four of them arrived at the Starlight Auction House again.

"Vice Leader, have you found the way?" Qian Lingyun asked with a cold smile, her eyes fixed straight ahead.

"Don't worry, Holy Maiden, it's all been found!" The Fourth Elder glanced at the auction house's facilities with a sinister look and said softly, "For safety, the Third Elder also planted some things here."

"I don't care about the stuff you put in, just make sure your hands and feet are clean."

With that, Qian Lingyun took the lead and entered the Starlight Auction House first.

The situation inside the auction house was the same as it had been the previous few days.

There was absolutely no publicity for today's top-tier auction. Led by the auctioneer, they walked inwards and soon passed the venue where they had participated in the last auction.

On the way, they saw Mei Douluo, dressed in a long golden dress, pretending to be reserved, standing at the entrance of the passage with a group of girls dressed in the same way, giving flirtatious glances to the VIPs.

It's hard to say about Qian Lingyun, but Mei Douluo certainly seemed to be enjoying herself.

Upon seeing familiar faces, Mei Douluo quickly winked at them and transmitted her voice, "Holy Maiden, I've already inquired. There's a room specifically reserved for Mingde Hall. I've installed a voice transmission soul tool inside, so the Third Elder can hear it."

"Good job, keep it up. You look great today," Qian Lingyun said, suppressing a smile, offering a few words of encouragement before continuing to walk forward.

As they walked to the end of the passage, two girls in long gold dresses came forward. After bowing slightly to everyone, they exchanged a few words with the auctioneer, Qi Qi. Then, one of the girls turned to the wall and raised her right hand to press lightly on it.

Suddenly, a strange scene unfolded. Rippling light patterns appeared on the wall, and then the layers of light gradually stabilized.

The girl placed her palm on it. A horizontal ray of light swept down from top to bottom. Then, with a hum, the wall slowly opened to both sides, revealing a passage.

Unlike the opulent gold and glitter outside, this passageway was pure white. Not a cold, hard white, but rather a unique white with a soft, textured feel.

The floor, ceiling, and walls were all paved with a translucent white jade. Beneath the jade, there were faint, subtle patterns, though the exact design was unclear. Compared to the outside passageway, however, it was clearly a more refined and elegant space.

Soft white light shines through from above, below, left, and right simultaneously, with lines formed by pale blue halos on both sides of the roof.

Qi Qi explained softly, "This is our No. 1 auction hall, where we hold our top-tier auctions. Only the most distinguished guests are invited to enter here to participate in the bidding. You should know that anyone below the Black-level auctioneer is not qualified to enter here."
