Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

#279 - Unexpectedly being scammed

The moment Li Chengfeng grabbed Qi Yan's neck, the spiritual power throughout her body became immobile. Li Chengfeng directly sealed all her magic power and strength.

The more she struggled, the stronger the sealing power became. This was the sealing technique of the Rune Spirit, and no one in the world could break it unless their cultivation realm far exceeded Li Chengfeng's.

Li Chengfeng showed no pity for her beauty and tossed Qi Yan at his feet like a piece of trash.

He sneered and said, "Fellow Daoist Qi Yan, we have no past grievances or recent grudges. Why did you attack me?

This was supposed to be a fair transaction. I already paid Tianluo Auction House enough spirit stones, and besides, Qiu Fengyue attacked me first. Logically, he should be the one punished.

Yet you blame everything on me. This is simply outrageous."

Qi Yan was terrified and trembling. She said in a shaky voice, "Daoist, please spare me! I was blind and my eyes were clouded by greed.

The stone I sold you was actually purchased by me for a thousand mid-grade spirit stones. I wanted to find the secret within it,

but in the end, I couldn't figure anything out. I thought it was too expensive and wouldn't sell, so I put it up for sale.

I didn't expect you to find a bargain, Daoist. I was momentarily unwilling, which is why I acted out of greed."

Li Chengfeng nodded and said calmly, "People die for wealth, and birds die for food. This is understandable.

However, do you know why I brought you back here?

Qi Yan cautiously replied, "Daoist probably wants to kill me.

After all, I schemed against you like this, so you definitely won't let me go."

At this moment, she already knew that Jia Hai was Li Chengfeng. Now, Li Chengfeng had revealed his true face.

Li Chengfeng's deep, sea-like peach blossom eyes, his sharply chiseled face, and his aura of evil made her feel cold all over, yet she didn't dare to look him in the eye.

However, Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "You're wrong. Although I am petty and vengeful, I wouldn't take action for someone as insignificant as you.

I'm after the treasure vault of Tianluo Auction House. Do you think I was just running around aimlessly when I caused such a commotion earlier? Actually, I did it on purpose.

Now, all the rogue cultivators and experts from the auction house have gone in all directions, searching for me. Finding me is worth a hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones.

At this time, the auction house's treasure vault is bound to be empty and unguarded, making it the perfect opportunity for me to strike. Hahaha!"

Qi Yan carefully considered Li Chengfeng's words and immediately felt respect for him.

So this person really had good methods. Although the other party only had a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, his mind and wisdom were beyond her comparison.

She originally thought that the other party had captured her to vent his anger, but she didn't expect it to be for a bigger plan.

She immediately expressed her stance, "Daoist Li, since you're after the treasure vault, I'm willing to take you to retrieve all the treasures, just asking that you spare my life."

Li Chengfeng smiled slightly and said, "That's why I kept you alive.

As long as you help me get all the treasures out of the vault, I will definitely keep my promise and spare your life.

I, Li Chengfeng, am not a bloodthirsty person."

Qi Yan nodded repeatedly, but she was secretly slandering him in her heart: You're not a bloodthirsty person? More than ten thousand cultivators died in your hands, and you even destroyed an entire city. Yet you say you're not a bloodthirsty person?

How ridiculous!

Although she thought so in her heart, she didn't dare to say it out loud. She said with a flattering expression, "Daoist, the treasure vault is full of traps. I don't have the key. I wonder what method you have to open it?

Li Chengfeng replied with a smile, "You just need to tell me about the formation arrangement inside, and I can naturally break it. Time is of the essence. Let's act immediately."

As he spoke, he activated the Realm Space and quietly moved towards the direction of the treasure vault.

When Qi Yan saw this magical treasure, she was greatly surprised: What is this treasure? Staying inside it can promote flight,

and it can also conceal and hide oneself. No wonder people can't catch Li Chengfeng, this great demon. So he has such a treasure.

Although she thought so in her heart, she didn't dare to reveal it, fearing that Li Chengfeng would kill her to silence her.

Under her guidance, the two quickly arrived at the treasure vault.

However, when they saw that the treasure vault's gate was wide open, their expressions changed. Someone had already arrived first.

Li Chengfeng swept his divine sense and sneered, "It really is him. I felt that this person was unusual. But he really has some methods."

So, he activated the Realm Space and quietly entered the treasure vault to observe carefully. Sure enough, he found Yao Qi and Zhou Ming inside.

Zhou Ming said with a smug smile, "Fairy Yao, how is it? I told you I was right. Now there are no defenses here,

and we can easily enter it. Can't we choose the treasures here at will? Fairy Yao must give me a little more when the time comes."

Yao Qi smiled triumphantly, "It's really heaven helping me. Thanks to that demon Li Chengfeng, who lured them all away,

why would I be so foolish as to chase after him? It's obvious that Li Chengfeng is not a good person. He's petty and vengeful. Look at Qi Yan, who tried to take advantage of the situation. What was the result? She suffered the consequences and was captured. She deserves it."

Zhou Ming respectfully echoed, "That's right. Fairy Yao is indeed intelligent and able to see through things.

Li Chengfeng is indeed a ruthless and extremely cruel person. We should avoid him in the future.

I spent several days with him, but I didn't notice his true face. It's really puzzling."

"Enough nonsense," Yao Qi urged. "Quickly collect the treasures."

Zhou Ming looked embarrassed, "How can we store so many treasures? The storage bags have limited capacity."

Yao Qi smiled slightly and took off a necklace from her neck, shaking it and saying, "Look, this is a spatial necklace specially made for me by my master. All the treasures here can be stored in it."

With a thought, a white light immediately bloomed from the necklace. Wherever it went, treasures, magical tools, magic weapons, spirit stones, and spiritual medicines of all sizes disappeared and were sucked into the necklace.

Zhou Ming was dumbfounded and praised repeatedly, "It's truly a rare treasure in the world. This trip was really worth it!"

In an instant, all the treasures in the vault were stored in the spatial necklace.

Yao Qi put the necklace back on her neck and said, "Let's leave this place first, and I'll share the treasures with you later."

Zhou Ming nodded and smiled, "Haha, Fairy Yao Qi, you have to keep your word."

Yao Qi's face darkened, "Would I be as untrustworthy as you?

Before she finished speaking, Zhou Ming suddenly attacked. A golden rope turned into a yellow light and tightly bound Yao Qi, as if wrapping a rice dumpling, tightening and tightening.

Yao Qi's demonic power was completely restrained, and she couldn't move.

"Who exactly are you?" Yao Qi exclaimed, "This demon-binding rope is extraordinary. You're definitely not Zhou Ming. How could he have such strength and treasures? Who exactly are you?

Zhou Ming smiled charmingly and lightly opened her red lips, saying, "I said you were a fool, but you didn't believe me. You're really hopelessly stupid.

You've been deceived again and again. Haven't you always longed to grind my bones to ashes?

At this moment, my magic power surged and transformed into a beautiful young girl, pure and lovely. No one could tell that I was the one who was good at conspiracies and tricks.

"How is it? Hahaha, I, Hua Zixuan, have been secretly spying on you, determined to squeeze out the last bit of your value.

I didn't expect that this time, the demon Li Chengfeng would cause such a great chaos, giving me the opportunity to loot this place.

I will also take you away, leaving your aura behind. At that time, will Tianluo Auction House come to settle the score with you?

Yao Qi was extremely angry and rebuked, "You are truly shameless and only know how to play these despicable tricks. Although Li Chengfeng is called a great demon,

in my opinion, you are more evil and shameless than him."

"However, so what? You still can't escape my sight, but I really admire Li Chengfeng. The gem in his hand actually hides such a secret technique. I must find an opportunity to take that secret technique for myself," Hua Zixuan said greedily.
