Chapter 31: Camping

"Oh! I just wanted to make a grand entrance." Wang xi looked sincere as he replied.

The people got dumbstruck when they heard him. 'Are you f*cking serious? You just wanted to make a grand entrance? Hmph. Like we'll believe that.' These people were not convinced. They felt that Wang xi must have some ulterior motive behind this show. Still, they couldn't do anything to him now, they want to meet this master of his after obtaining what they want from him then they could teach a lesson to this brat.

'Just wait and see.' This was the thought in everyone's mind. Thames also didn't voice any opinions. He made up his mind that he'll inform his master later to deal with this guy, Now he'd also follow him to see what this brat had to show them.

"Okay, We've wasted enough time let's go follow me" he said as he walked out of the auction house. He didn't use the main entrance though he used the secret exit that the auction house has in case of an emergency. He has done his research on this place before coming so he was prepared for any kind of situation.

Seeing Wang xi use the secret exit, people from the auction house couldn't help but frown. This was called secret for a reason but this guy knows about it. But they didn't say anything and followed him. They couldn't auction the last item they has for this auction as people aren't interested in the auction anymore, but they have different auction houses in different places so they would auction it at a later date.

The people from V.I.P chambers also left one after another to follow Wang xi but Vishnu didn't move yet. Chen jiaxin looked at Vishnu and saw that he isn't moving "Aren't we going to follow him?" She couldn't help but ask. This is a chance for them they must grab it so she didn't understand why Vishnu isn't moving, 'Does he not wish to get stronger? Impossible, she knows that Vishnu's crave for power better than anyone else. This guy doesn't even waste a moment and cultivates all the time.' She looked curiously at Vishnu as she couldn't understand.

Vishnu heard her and looked at her with a smile "No, we're going to follow him but after everyone has left. I don't want anyone to see we were in this chamber."

Jiaxin understood. Vishnu doesn't want the other V.I.P guests to know that they are the ones who brought those stuff. There are bound to be greedy people in the bunch and Vishnu doesn't want to attract attention to him so soon.

One by one all the V.I.PS left their chamber and followed Wang xi. Those who were sitting below also followed him. There were a very minority of people who didn't follow them. They left the auction house from the main exit. They probably didn't believe in Wang xi's claim and didn't want to step into a trap or went out to infor this piece of news to their faction so they could send more people that way they won't have any fear of any traps.

Vishnu waited until everyone left. He asked Arthur to check then he left his chamber. He also got his things auctioned here so he can leave in peace.

They went out of the Auction house and followed the crowd. They traveled through a large passage for roughly twenty minutes then they could finally see the sun. Vishnu looked behind and could see the structures of the city behind. This secret passageway led them directly out of the city. It'd be pretty useful in times of emergency. 'As expected of A large Auction house' was the thought of many people but now that this exit has been discovered by so many people it couldn't be used by anyone. Qilin Auction house must've used many resources to build this but now it is all useless. They have to build from scratch now. The mouth of Thames and some people from the auction house couldn't help but twitch.

'F*ck' was all they could say in their heart. It felt like someone just kidnapped their child and even after giving a huge amount they still didn't get their child back. As they're the leading figure in auction house it was their duty to keep these things secret now they could have to use their own resources to build a new one otherwise… The face of Red haired demon flashed in their mind and they couldn't help but shudder. The people around them gave them a curious glance.

'Did they lose their mind?'

Thames and the other guys looked at each other and could see that their thoughts are the same so it helped them calm down a little.

'It's okay, I'm not the only one who's suffering. Let's suffer together.'

The group walked silently after leaving the city. Those who left the city to inform their faction about this camped around the auction house to see from where these people are leaving but even after waiting for two hours they still couldn't find anyone. They spread all around the city but still nothing. They wanted to barge into the Auction house and use the secret passage but the Auction house didn't let anyone else enter after all people have left. The higher-ups have already ordered the people left to let no one else enter. They don't want any more people to find out about this. They have already given orders to people that they must seal that secret passage too after they left otherwise who knows someone might sneak in from that way.

Every single people were thinking about various things as they followed Wang xi. After walking for a few hours the sun was already setting and they arrived near a forest. At this moment Wang xi turned around and told them that they'd camping outside this forest for the night and would leave in the morning.

The people wanted to protest but his sharp gaze left them no room to voice any complaints. As cultivators, all of them have storage rings and they were prepared for the various situation so they also have things to camp outside. A fireplace was built by some people and some people took out food from the storage ring. Some went into the forest to hunt some beasts and came out to have a barbecue. Vishnu also did the same. Every group kept some distance from each other. Those who were close got together to discuss their plans.

Chen Jiaxin looked around curiously at the people as she ate barbequed meat made by Vishnu. As a princess of the Chen clan, she has never experienced something like this she wanted to go around and talk to these strangers and hear some stories but she didn't as she knows it isn't the appropriate time and she is also disguised and the slightest mistake could cause problems. She looked at Vishnu and asked, "So what's the plan then." She is sure from the look Vishnu has that this guy must be plotting something. He isn't simply here to meet the master of that guy.

Vishnu looked at her beautiful face which seem even more beautiful under the moonlight and the light from the swaying fire. He thought that it isn't that bad having a barbeque under the moon with beauty at his side. Little by little his heart is being swayed by this beauty's actions but he still didn't realize it yet.

Arthur could feel the change in emotions in Vishnu but he didn't comment on anything he has been at this stage in his life and has already lost those people so he wouldn't give any advice regarding these to Vishnu.

"We'll meet this master of this guy first then decide what to do next." Their objective of coming out of the sect is to visit different places around and eventually to go to the forest to train. But if they got the method to break through to the next realm they have to change their plans. Chen Jiaxin has to go to her clan to give them this method. As a member of the clan, she has some responsibility towards it and she could help his father with this method too.

She didn't know that all this was a trap. Vishnu didn't tell her as he isn't sure if she could act like him. 'The best to fool your enemy is to fool your friends first.' This is what is in Vishnu's mind so he didn't think much as he replied to Jiaxin. There won't be a change in plans in his eyes just a slight delay.

His eyes glowed mysteriously as he looked towards the place where Wang xi is resting. Suddenly Wang xi got goosebumps he looked around but Vishnu has already retracted his gaze so he didn't find anything. Feeling strange he looked around again but didn't find anything odd so he throw the thought away. Currently, he is thinking about how to execute his plan correctly tomorrow so that no fish will be able to leave the net.
