Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1358

Chapter 1358: Chapter 703: Cut the Crap

"E-...Earth Rank Spiritual Artifact! Young Master Liu Su bids with one Earth Rank Spiritual Artifact! According to market value, it’s at least equivalent to fifty lower-grade Spirit Stones!"

The entire venue fell silent.

Young Master Qin’s face turned from white to green, then from green to black.

He stared fiercely at the small emerald sword, his chest rising and falling violently.

"Young Master..."

Tie San whispered.

"We...should give up. Earth Rank Spiritual Artifacts are beyond our reach..."

"Shut up!"

Young Master Qin squeezed out two words through his teeth, but eventually, he slumped back into his chair, snapping the Jade Fan in his hand with a "crack".

Chu Qianxuan waited a moment, seeing no one else bid, he spoke loudly.

"Congratulations to Young Master Liu Su for acquiring the Nine Desolate Horned Rhinoceros heart! The auction concludes!"

Liu Suciang rose elegantly, nodding slightly to those around him, and when his gaze swept past Young Master Qin, a faint smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Dear guests, please take a short rest, as we have two more treasures coming up next."

Chu Qianxuan announced.

Young Master Qin slammed his fist on the table, causing the teacup to fall and shatter on the ground.

"Damn it! Those bastards from the Purple Mist Holy Land!"

He growled through gritted teeth.

"They knew our Qin Family desperately needed this heart..."

Tie San whispered.

"Young Master, please calm down. The Family Head has mentioned that even if we don’t get the heart, we have other methods..."

Just then, the door to the private room was abruptly pushed open, and Wang Liu rushed in, sweat rolling down his forehead.

"Y-...Young Master! Something’s happened!"

Young Master Qin was already in a foul mood, and seeing this, he became even angrier.

"What are you panicking for! Has the sky fallen?"

Wang Liu swallowed hard.

"Zhao Pengzu and Dong Wei...they’ve disappeared!"

"What?"

Young Master Qin stood up abruptly.

"When did this happen?"

"Just an hour ago, they were supposed to be monitoring Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao in the west of the city, but when I went to check just now, they were nowhere to be found, not even the Sound Transmission Jade Pendant can reach them."

Young Master Qin’s face instantly turned ashen.

"What about Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao?"

"They...they’re gone too."

Wang Liu wiped his sweat.

"And Mu Feng and Mu Xi, the siblings responsible for monitoring their area aren’t able to find anyone either..."

"Useless! A bunch of useless!"

In a fit of rage, Young Master Qin smashed the tea table beside him into dust with a palm.

"So many people, just disappearing into thin air like this?"

Tie San spoke in a low voice.

"Young Master, this is suspicious.

Zhao Pengzu and Dong Wei both have mid Golden Core cultivation, they couldn’t have been dealt with silently..."

Young Master Qin forced himself to calm down, taking a deep breath.

"Tie San, try using your Sound Transmission Jade Pendant."

Tie San nodded, took out a blue jade pendant from his chest, and injected Spiritual Power into it. The jade pendant glowed faintly, then quickly dimmed again.

"No response."

Tie San frowned.

"South gate?"

Young Master Qin spun around quickly, his anger intensifying.

"Are the gate guards blind? They saw four people stroll out of the city and didn’t see it?"

Tie San didn’t reply, focusing on controlling the Flying Sword. The buildings below swiftly retreated, and in a blink, the towering south gate’s walls came into view.

The Flying Sword abruptly braked before the city gate, kicking up a cloud of dust. The gate guards, startled, gathered round with spears.

"Who dares to..."

The leading guard’s words were cut short, his face turning pale.

"Young...Young Master Qin!"

Young Master Qin jumped off the Flying Sword, kicking the guard over.

"You worthless scum! Did four people just leave the city?"

The guard curled on the ground, clutching his stomach.

"In response to Young Master Qin...indeed four people, about half an hour ago..."

"Why didn’t you stop them?"

Young Master Qin raged, the jade pendant at his waist suddenly flaring with a blood-red light.

"Are you paid by my father just to eat and do nothing?"

Another guard spoke nervously.

"Young Master Qin, please calm down... Those four had a legitimate road pass, and their appearances matched. We really..."

Tie San suddenly interjected.

"Were they two men, two women? Was there a sickly-looking girl among them?"

The guard nodded repeatedly.

"Exactly! A pale scholar with a sickly girl, and two who seemed like siblings..."

"Disguise Skill."

Tie San said in a deep voice.
