Over the next few days, although the auction in Sky Merchant City had concluded, the city's popularity showed no signs of decreasing, with many powerful individuals still lingering there.
Their lingering gazes were all, without exception, locked onto the same direction – the lodging place of the Evil Wind Cave Heaven's people.
It was evident that there were quite a few people in the city who coveted the small silver tower in the hands of the Evil Wind Cave Heaven. Xie Yan and the others were also aware of this situation and took some measures. In just one day, they spent a high price to hire many powerful guards in Sky Merchant City.
However, the major powers still in Sky Merchant City watched their actions with cold eyes. These temporarily hired external helpers wouldn't be of much use, and perhaps some might even turn against them.
Lin Yun, perched on the highest pavilion in Sky Merchant City, gazed lazily towards the northwest of the city. "As I expected, Evil Wind Cave Heaven has another expert here. Judging by the aura, he's much stronger than the previous two."
"But it looks like they're about to move."
Just as his voice fell, in a secluded courtyard in that direction, the grim-faced Xie Yan slowly stood up. His gaze swept over the Evil Wind Cave Heaven experts in the room.
Finally, it paused on a thin figure in the corner.
"Tenth Elder, the other two elders haven't returned for several days. What should we do now?"
The thin figure raised his deep-set eyes and glanced at Xie Yan, who immediately shivered.
"Since that's the case, we will depart the city according to the plan later," a hoarse voice entered Xie Yan's ears.
Xie Yan gritted his teeth but could only nod helplessly.
Time slowly flowed by, and the sun in the sky gradually set. Lin Yun, who was sitting cross-legged on the pavilion, suddenly moved. At the same moment, he could feel that the atmosphere of the city had suddenly fluctuated.
"The second round of contention for this Silver Tower is about to begin."
Sensing this subtle change, Lin Yun couldn't help but smile slightly, then looked up. He saw countless sounds of rushing wind suddenly erupt from the northwest direction. Immediately after, hundreds of figures simultaneously shot towards that secluded area, then swept out of the city in a overwhelming manner.
Lin Yun stood up from the pavilion, his gaze ignoring the overwhelming chaotic scene. His eyes were fixed on three areas. The auras from those three places were clearly the people from Evil Wind Cave Heaven.
"They still split up," Lin Yun said, then withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Lin Dong behind him.
Seeing his gaze, Lin Dong shook his head and said, "The Silver Tower isn't on those people. The ones who just rushed out are decoys."
Lin Yun grinned. "Just as I guessed. I want to see how long you can hide."
Mu Lingshan, who was beside him, also looked at the figures sweeping across the sky with excitement.
At this moment, Sky Merchant City undoubtedly became extremely chaotic. Countless experts swept across the sky, then chased after the Evil Wind Cave Heaven people who had rushed out of the city. Even many major powers followed those three groups of auras.
After about two incense sticks' worth of time, the city finally calmed down a bit.
Just then, Lin Dong suddenly said, "The Silver Tower's location has gone towards the north of the city."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yun nodded, and the smile on his face immediately became more pronounced. He then beckoned to Mu Lingshan and Lin Dong, and his figure shot straight towards the north of the city.
"This time, I'm coming to find you."
After his figure swept out, Lin Dong and Mu Lingshan also quickly followed.
The routes taken by Evil Wind Cave Heaven were extremely remote, so their figures quietly leaving the city went unnoticed.
"Swish!"
Several figures stepped on the void and swept out again. Wide black robes covered their bodies. As the strong wind blew, it lifted a corner of the black robe of the person in the lead. That face was precisely Xie Yan of Evil Wind Cave Heaven.
"Young Cave Master, Tenth Elder, Protector Liu and the others have already led most of the people away," a person beside Xie Yan whispered to Xie Yan and a thin old man beside him.
"Mm, don't worry about them. Let's leave the Sky Merchant Domain quickly now. Third Elder has personally brought people to meet us," Xie Yan nodded slightly, saying with a hint of gloom in his eyes.
Just as his voice fell, a burst of laughter suddenly came from a mountain peak in front of them.
"Hehe, Brother Xie Yan, your trick of deceiving the heavens is good, but the effect isn't as good as you imagined."
"Whoosh!"
The several figures that had swept out suddenly solidified at this moment. Xie Yan, with a sinister expression, looked up at the white-robed figure on the mountain peak. "Zhou Qian, you actually managed to track me?"
"Hehe, I naturally have my methods," Zhou Qian chuckled.
"You can detect my whereabouts, but you came alone, overestimating yourself. Do you think you can take what's in my hand by yourself?" Xie Yan said coldly.
"Naturally not just me," Zhou Qian laughed, then looked to the north and said, "Brother Chen Ying, since you're here, why not show yourself?"
"Haha, as expected, I still couldn't hide from Brother Zhou." As soon as Zhou Qian's voice fell, a burst of laughter came from the jungle, and then several figures swept out. The person in the lead was precisely Chen Ying of the Illusory Demon Sect.
Xie Yan's eyes were somewhat gloomy, but he quickly sneered, looking at the thin old man beside him.
The thin old man waved his palm, and a black light wave blasted towards the two of them.
"Death Qi? A Death Profound Realm expert?"
The sudden change immediately caused Zhou Qian and the other's expressions to shift slightly. They retreated rapidly, and powerful Martial Arts were immediately unleashed, fiercely blasting towards the spreading black light wave.
"Bang bang!"
The two immediately flew backward, looking at the thin old man in a very disheveled state.
"Evil Wind Cave Heaven's Tenth Elder - Ghost Spirit?" Zhou Qian said with a gloomy expression.
"Since you know this old man's name, then scram. For the sake of Qiankun Cave Heaven and Illusory Demon Sect, this old man won't kill you. If you dare to linger again."
"Die!"
Zhou Qian and Chen Ying frowned, exchanged glances, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
They hadn't expected that Evil Spirit Cave Heaven would actually send the Tenth Elder. That was a peak expert in the Great Accomplishment of the Death Profound Realm.
"Let's go!"
Zhou Qian and the other person decisively led their men away.
Xie Yan watched as Zhou Qian and the others were startled away, then slightly relaxed and smiled, "This time, we owe it to the Tenth Elder."
"My mission is to escort the Silver Tower back safely, so naturally, I can't let anything go wrong," the Ghost Spirit Elder said indifferently.
"Then let's continue on our way," Xie Yan said quickly.
Just then, a cold voice came from a distance, "Don't go. All of you stay here."
