Chapter 2045: The Person Behind The Auction
Seeing her doing this, Fu Xi asked: “What did you think of You Yue?”
“I guessed the person behind this underground auction.” Sima You Yue said, “Jiu Jiu, isn’t there someone with the surname ‘Lan’ by Ghost Concubine?”
“Yes, the Patriarch of the Lan Clan, Lan He[1] and Ghost Concubine have a very good relationship. Before Ghost Concubine entered the palace, the two were affectionate. After the two separated, Lan He was still very kind to Ghost Concubine and did a lot of things for her. He was one of her swords.” Di Jiu Jiu replied.
“That’s it.” Wu Lingyu understood what she meant.
“Do you think Lan He is the person behind this?” Fu Xi asked, “But there are many people in the Ghost Realm with the surname Lan, how can you be sure that it is him?”
“There are many people surnamed Lan, but the only people surnamed Lan who care about me so much are those of Ghost Concubine.” Sima You Yue knew it, “They should have known about Leng Feng’s whereabouts a long time ago, and they just want me to come over. , But I’ve been in the Hidden Sect all these years, and he couldn’t pass the news to me, and then he asked you to check it over and let you pass the news to me. Who knows, I actually poisoned Lan Yue, so he had to let someone else send this news in exchange for his antidote, or else how can he send the news in such a short time?”
“That’s true.” Fu Xi nodded, “If there is no preparation, it is impossible to send the news so quickly. Then, the news about Ghost Concubine who bought Hai Mian, is this news fake?”
“This is not certain yet.” Sima You Yue said, “Jiu Jiu, have you confirmed Leng Feng’s affairs? Are they really here, or is it just the news they released?”
Di Jiu Jiu understood what was going on. It turns out that this was the reason why she came here at this time, and there were still so many undercurrents in it.
“It has been verified that they are indeed here.” Di Jiu Jiu said, “but because it is too strict, if we use force to break through, the casualties would be too great, and they may not be able to be rescued safely. So we are still waiting for the General’s order. I didn’t expect the Young Princess to come at this time.”
“Then you still have to wait for cousin’s order?” Sima You Yue asked.
“The General said that as long as the Young Princess is around, we should listen to your orders.” Di Jiu Jiu said.
“That’s good.” Sima You Yue nodded, “You can tell us more about the situation here.”
“Yes.”
Di Jiu Jiu talked about the situation of Abyssal City, giving her a general idea.
Leng Feng and the others arrived in Abyssal City a hundred years ago. They wanted to go to the Abyss of Hell via this route, but Xi Er Mo arrested them to do manual labour.
They arrested people like them who had just arrived here and had not yet paid the protection fee to the Ghost Clan. Some were arrested for fighting, some were arrested for mining, and some were used for other indescribable purposes.
Leng Feng and the rest were relatively lucky, they were caught mining and doing coolie work, at least they were in no particular danger, and there was no destruction to their spiritual energy.
However, this was the most inferior place, so there were many people guarding here and supervising their work. They were sealed with most of their spiritual energy and could only be used for mining, and couldn’t fight against these people at all, so they couldn’t escape for so many years.
“His mine is pretty big and he hasn’t finished digging it after digging for so many years.” Fu Xi said with emotion.
“There are many mineral veins in the place close to the Abyss of Hell. That’s why people in the Abyss of Hell have a higher status here than those of the other two clans.”
“Is no one else going to grab those veins?”
“For such a place that would easily arouse jealousy, how can no one want to share a piece of the pie? However, the people of Abyss of Hell have kept it closely guarded and many people have been arrested to guard it, so they were killed in the end. There are only a handful that are directly below the Eminents of the Ghost Clans and the Soul Clans that have some abilities.”
“Even those from the Ghost and Soul Clans can’t do it, then this place is really not easy to break into.” Sima You Yue slowly knocked on the table, “We’d better investigate again.”
“And also guard against Ghost Concubine’s people.” Wu Lingyu said.
Ghost Concubine’s people tried their best to get her here, and they wouldn’t do nothing. But they were in the light, the other was in the dark, and they couldn’t guess what the other party would do.
“Subordinate will send someone to check the specific conditions of the mine.” Di Jiu Jiu said.
“Alright. Be careful.” Sima You Yue said.
Di Jiu Jiu left and now there was finally something to do. Now, all that was left was waiting.
“You Yue, are these people reliable?” Fu Xi put the peeled walnuts and bit into it.
In his opinion, it is very unwise for some guards to fight so hard for her mother. However, he was also touched.
“People with the word Di are capable.” Sima You Yue said, “I believe they will bring more news.”
“Then we are waiting here? I think the people here seem to be very interested in us, do you want to go out and play?”
“Sure.”
Sima You Yue also felt that the people in Abyssal City were a bit weird, so she went out to see what was going on.
They took a rest and then went out. The innkeeper said that they were going to go shopping and enthusiastically introduced them to the places worth visiting here. The most lively place was nothing more than the commercial street. They didn’t have much interest at first, but the innkeeper said that there were a lot of things that were only available in the Abyss of Hell, which aroused their interest.
Sima You Yue had learned that a lot of herbs were only available in the Abyss of Hell when she was in the Hidden Sect. They were very effective for alchemy, so she just went to have a look.
The three of them went to the pharmacy, and they saw that there were many medicinal materials there. Because the three races live together, there were still a lot of medicinal materials for the Soul Region here.
The attendant saw that they were extraordinary, and knew they were distinguished customers, and greeted them with a smile.
“What do you want to see?”
“I want to see the medicinal materials from the Abyss of Hell.”
“Those are on the second floor, please follow me!”
Sima You Yue walked around and chose some medicinal materials. Just when she arrived at the counter to pay the bill, a hand suddenly reached out and came into her view and took away all the medicinal materials, and said, “I want this.”
The cashier was already in the midst of settling her bill, but when she encountered this, she had to stop.
Sima You Yue’s face sank suddenly: “This is what I chose.”
The other party was a man nearly two meters tall. Hearing Sima You Yue’s words, he glanced at her contemptuously and said arrogantly: “I know, I just asked, this is the last Rainbow Dendrobium, I just need it. So I want it.”
“I have no plans to give it to you!” Sima You Yue grabbed his wrist and tapped the acupuncture point on his wrist.
“Arghhhh—-” The man felt a sharp pain in his wrist and he couldn’t help but let go, and the Rainbow Dendrobium fell into Sima You Yue’s hand.
