The thing that Shen Xiang was worried about happened, because there was a buyer who wanted to pick up the goods immediately, and it was the first time for Shen Xiang to use this magical power of creating something out of thin air, which was quite difficult for him.
"Hurry up, the transaction is about to begin!" Long Xueyi urged. If she had used a trick, it would have been very easy. However, Shen Xiang's mastery of the Nine Heavens and Seventy-two Transformations was not as good as Long Xueyi's, so he was unable to get half of the Jade Dragon Flower out.
"Got it!" Shen Xiang took a deep breath, and recalled the box containing the Jade Dragon Flower and everything around it in his mind. Then he began to use his magic power, following the spells of the Seventy-Two Transformations, to construct an illusion along the transparent box bit by bit.
Shen Xiang had already heard the footsteps, which made him speed up. When the door opened, he had just finished.
"It's done!" Shen Xiang shouted.
Now, no matter what happens inside the transparent box, there will be no change when viewed from the outside.
Long Xueyi had conjured up a toucan in the transparent box, which quickly bit off half of the Jade Dragon Flower, then quickly transformed into magic power and flew away.
However, nothing happened to the old immortals in the hall because they were all blinded by an illusion, and the Jade Dragon Flower was still fine.
The door opened, Shen Xiang quickly withdrew his magic power, the illusion disappeared, and the true form of the Jade Dragon Flower appeared. As for what happened inside, Shen Xiang didn't know, and half of the Jade Dragon Flower was already in his hands, which made him secretly relieved.
Just as Long Xueyi had estimated, his mana was indeed consumed very quickly, using up most of his mana.
Yan Zilan was about to announce the next auction item, but her expression suddenly changed, but she quickly recovered.
Many people had been looking at her beautiful face and were able to catch the change in her expression just now and knew at a glance what had happened.
"Please take a break and prepare for the more intense bidding to come!" Yan Zilan smiled slightly and walked down from the auction table.
Du Yanyao frowned as she looked at the elderly people who suddenly appeared below her: "They have sealed off the auction venue. What happened?"
Shen Xiang also saw some old men blocking the door, but he was secretly laughing in his heart, because no matter how they investigated, they would not be able to find out that it was him who did it.
In order for the auction to proceed smoothly, the theft would definitely not be publicized, and the losses caused would of course be compensated by Saint Danmen, which was more than 100 billion crystal stones!
"Hehe, now they don't know how to deal with it. The buyer doesn't want it when he sees that it's only half worth it, and he also wants Shengdanmen to give him a way to live! Now Lin Yushi also wants Shengdanmen to compensate him, so troublesome!" Long Xueyi said with a giggle.
Without half of the Jade Dragon Flower, it would be equivalent to being useless, and a lot of energy would be lost. However, Shen Xiang has the Creative Divine Liquid, and Su Meiyao also knows how to preserve it, so he doesn't need to worry about this.
"I saw a group of old immortals gathering in the hall backstage. I have to evacuate to avoid being discovered by them!" Long Xueyi said in surprise.
Chen Xiang sat on the chair, looking at the people below who were talking. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Du Yanyao walked over to open the door, and saw Du Kangsheng standing outside the door: "Yanyao, I need you to go to something, and you are the only one who can come."
Du Yanyao glanced at Shen Xiang, then followed Du Kangsheng to leave. Shen Xiang knew at a glance that it was the people from Shengdanmen who asked her to go, because she was the city lord here, and she needed to send more people to patrol the surroundings and look for suspicious people.
Du Yanyao came to a hall and saw a dozen old men with sage-like looks. They all had serious expressions and some were even a little angry. She bowed to them and asked about the situation.
"Someone actually caused trouble right under our noses and stole half of the Jade Dragon Flowers. He really doesn't take us seriously." An old man said angrily. He was the headmaster of the Shengdan Sect, and Du Yanyao knew him.
"This person must still be in here. We must find him out, but what kind of person could he be?" Yan Zilan's face also became very serious. She looked at Du Yanyao and said, "City Lord Du, can you order the city to be sealed off and not allow anyone to leave? The things lost this time are too valuable!"
"No problem!" Du Yanyao took out a white jade token and sent a message.
"This man must be very powerful. He comes and goes without a trace. What method did he use? And he should be able to steal a Jade Dragon Flower, but why did he leave half of it? He stole half of it, which can be said to be of no use to him. Is he showing off his skills? Is he provoking us?" An old man frowned and said slowly.
Lin Yushi said calmly: "I don't care who stole it. Anyway, you must pay me the price of a whole Jade Dragon Flower, just pay according to the auction price, and the remaining half will be given to you!"
The loss of Shengdan Sect was much greater than Shen Xiang had expected. More than 200 billion crystal stones, even a large sect would feel the pain for a while.
"My loss is greater than yours. I lost the Chaos Fire Order!" Lin Yushi looked at several high-level officials of Shengdan Sect and snorted coldly.
Speaking of the Chaos Fire Order being cleverly snatched away by Shen Xiang, these old men's eyes suddenly lit up!
"Lord Du, your fiancé seems to have a special ability that allows him to pick up objects from a distance. Although I'm not present, I can clearly see what's happening outside." said an old man.
This made the other elders stare at Du Yanyao.
"He was with me just now. If he made any movement, I would definitely notice it!" Du Yanyao was able to remain calm and spoke calmly in the face of so many sharp eyes.
"We must investigate this guy thoroughly, maybe he was the one who stole it!" Lin Yushi gritted his teeth and said, "You are his fiancée, of course you will speak for him. We don't trust you!"
Yan Zilan smiled slightly: "We can tell by testing with the Stone of Truth. But if he didn't steal the Jade Dragon Flower, what should we say? This would hurt his self-esteem. Although his strength is not at the Nirvana level, his origins are unknown. If there is a powerful hidden family behind him, it would be bad to offend them!"
Only Du Yanyao and Du Hai knew Shen Xiang's origins. Du Yanyao had promised Shen Xiang not to spread it, so she didn't say anything. Shen Xiang was now attracting the attention of many forces, but these forces had mobilized a lot of resources and were unable to find out Shen Xiang's background.
"Hmph, so what if he's from a hidden family? Chaos Mountain will never let him go!" Lin Yushi said angrily.
"You are a person who came from Chaos Mountain. You have all the advantages there. Your cultivation is so high, but Shen Xiang still snatched away the sacred object of Chaos Mountain. You still have the nerve to mention your Chaos Mountain? If I were from Chaos Mountain, I would feel ashamed!" Du Yanyao said coldly. She couldn't bear to hear others say bad things about Shen Xiang.
Shen Xiang was suspected by others, and she was very angry in her heart, but the people here were all powerful old guys in the Holy Dan World, so she could only endure it.
