“That thing will become the focus of everyone’s attention, and everyone will set their minds on it, so we can’t touch it. However, not touching that thing doesn’t mean we can’t touch other things.”
Qin Xuan frowned.
But he always felt this was an opportunity.
Looking down at Yang Xiong, who was humble, Qin Xuan snorted coldly.
Since Yang Lin dared to scheme against him, he wouldn’t let him off so easily.
“I’ve got it!”
Looking at Yang Xiong, Qin Xuan continued to press him.
“I ask you, for this ambush, is Yang Lin in charge or Yang Ye in charge?”
“Of course it’s Young Lord… Yang Ye.”
Yang Xiong quickly explained.
“There’s definitely more than one force wanting to contend for this thing, so there will be all sorts of fighting. Naturally, Yang Ye will be in charge, and our main task is to protect Yang Lin and ensure he doesn’t run into any trouble.”
Protect Yang Lin?
Qin Xuan suddenly realized.
That’s right, when the various factions clash, Yang Ye, as the Yang Family Patriarch, would certainly find it difficult to fully protect his son.
That’s why he needed so many people to protect Yang Lin.
“So, once the struggle for the Forbidden Pearl truly begins, everyone’s attention will be on the Forbidden Pearl, and Yang Lin’s side will surprisingly not have too many people paying attention.”
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan became even more convinced that this was an opportunity.
“Although we can’t contend for the Forbidden Pearl, taking advantage of this opportunity to act against Yang Lin is a suitable time.”
“What’s more, once the struggle starts, even if Yang Ye discovers his son is killed, he won’t have time to provide support.”
Qin Xuan nodded.
This was a good opportunity; he certainly wouldn't miss it.
“Tell me, where are your strongholds, and how is the entire plan arranged?”
Seeing Qin Xuan’s somewhat excited expression, Yang Xiong immediately reacted.
This person in front of him must want to harm the Young Lord.
If he spoke out, the Young Lord would definitely be in danger.
However, although he was usually very loyal to Yang Lin, the Young Lord, it was now a matter of his own life and death. At this moment, the Young Lord’s safety was certainly not more important than his own life.
“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you now!”
Soon, he revealed all the details of the plan between Yang Lin and Yang Ye, as well as the situation of the two strongholds.
If Yang Lin truly acquired that item, he would immediately take the Forbidden Pearl to the first stronghold.
If Yang Lin didn’t obtain the Forbidden Pearl, he would proceed directly to the second stronghold under the protection of everyone.
The routes to each stronghold were different.
“According to Yang Ye’s orders at the time, we had already set up Formations in the two strongholds in advance. If we encountered an unsolvable problem, we would activate the Teleportation Formation to leave.”
After Yang Xiong finished speaking, he looked at Qin Xuan expectantly.
“Young Master, I’ve said everything I need to say. I wonder if you can spare my life?”
Looking at the hopeful Yang Xiong, Qin Xuan smiled and patted his shoulder.
“Although I really want to let you go, do you think that’s possible?”
He was about to make a move on that side. In such a situation, to be soft-hearted and let someone go? Wouldn’t that be courting death!
Not only was it impossible to let him go, but he also had to eliminate this person.
Qin Xuan didn’t know how powerful the Yang Family in Southern Border was.
However, from the fact that they could bring so many people from Southern Border to seize something, it was clear that their Family background was not small.
Qin Xuan certainly understood how dangerous such a Family was.
One careless mistake, letting others know that he was the one who acted, and not only would Qin Xuan suffer.
The entire Qin Family would face utter destruction.
Shaking his head, Qin Xuan didn’t say anything more, coldly pressing his sword against the other’s throat.
“You’re breaking your word! I told you everything I know, and you still want to kill me!”
Qin Xuan cut down with his sword, too lazy to waste words.
A head flew up, blood splattering everywhere.
“I only gave you two options from beginning to end. You were the one who was conceited, thinking I would give you a way out.”
“How could there be such a good thing! This is a life-and-death battle where one of us must die. If you don’t die, how can I be at ease? Since that’s the case, then you die, and I live!”
After Qin Xuan finished speaking, he disintegrated the man’s body, only keeping the head.
Then, his face contorted for a while before transforming into Yang Xiong’s appearance.
“Alright, now that Young Lord won’t be able to tell.”
After confirming that his aura and appearance were fine, Qin Xuan nodded, then swiftly departed from the area.
Qin Xuan did not go to that stronghold but secretly returned to the vicinity of the auction house.
He hadn't yet confirmed which stronghold Yang Lin would go to.
In this situation, secretly following was the safest option.
After all, the other party had a strong background. If he encountered any supporting Yang Family members along the way, he would be in trouble.
It was better to secretly follow first.
The auction should be ending soon, and it wouldn't be long before Yang Lin and his group came out.
Not long after arriving near the auction house, many people started coming out, discussing animatedly.
Qin Xuan mingled with the crowd, eavesdropping on their conversations.
Now that the auction was over, everyone must be discussing the final auction results.
The situation of this final round of auction was certainly not simple.
Qin Xuan naturally wanted to know who the ultimate winner was.
“People from Central Plains are indeed wealthy! Three hundred holy spirit stones! These bald monks are truly rich.”
“That’s right, these bald monks have a large number of devotees giving them money, so naturally, they are all rolling in wealth. I heard that Galan Temple isn’t even among the top ten temples in Central Plains.”
“The Jing Cult of the Western Wilderness is also extraordinary. Leaving aside other things, their every move is earth-shattering. And those few people from the Southern Border Miao Region, they are even more remarkable. I saw that even a random accessory on them was not simple.”
Qin Xuan’s heart stirred.
So, those monks were from Galan Temple.
And it sounded like Galan Temple wasn’t considered a very large temple among the Buddhist and Daoist sects in Central Plains.
“It seems that some of the most powerful forces in Central Plains haven’t come here.”
Qin Xuan continued to ponder as he followed the crowd.
“Qin Xuan, what are you planning to do next?”
Han Lao asked Qin Xuan.
“Let’s wait. The auction is over, so Yang Lin and his group will definitely leave. We’ll follow them and then make our move!”
A glint flashed in Qin Xuan’s eyes. He had already decided how to deal with Yang Lin next.
“We need to be careful. We don’t know the Yang Family’s status in Southern Border, but since they dared to come to the Eastern Region, their strength must be extraordinary.”
“We also need to find a way to get the Vatican Four Holy Statues. Although this secret technique only has one layer now, if we can get all four layers, a sixteen-fold combat power boost would be terrifying.”
Han Ye was also extremely looking forward to the Vatican Four Holy Statues. Such a secret art that could temporarily enhance combat power was rare. Even if it was an incomplete secret art now, the combat power boost for Qin Xuan was terrifying enough.
“That’s natural. Wait, they’re coming out.”
Just as Qin Xuan was discussing, at the entrance of the auction house, several monks from Galan Temple had already walked out.
