Chapter 401: Misunderstanding, Accident

But then, upon second thought, something felt wrong…

His transaction with the Treasure Pavilion had only begun this afternoon, and only he and the insiders at the Treasure Pavilion knew about it.

And since this was the Imperial Capital, and Elder Qiao was here as well, who would dare to rob him?

The Secret Room where Xiao Fan was located was specially constructed; it was incredibly sturdy and inscribed with numerous Formations. Even a Yuanhun Realm powerhouse would have to expend considerable effort to blast it open.

However, Pavilion Master Qiao Yuanzhou had keen senses, and he felt as though the surrounding Formations were as fragile as paper…

The Formations inside the Secret Room began to shatter inch by inch, and in less than a few breaths, they were about to be completely destroyed…

This was the Imperial Capital, after all; who had such ability?

To reach such a level, it must be a Pi Hai Realm powerhouse!

Pavilion Master Qiao Yuanzhou exuded an overwhelming pressure, making Xiao Fan and Qiao Rong, who were by his side, feel as if Pavilion Master Qiao Yuanzhou was like a True Dragon…

"So strong…" Xiao Fan's face showed astonishment. He had known before that Elder Qiao was very strong.

But back in Jingchuan, he had only assumed the other's cultivation was at the Xuandan Realm; he hadn't expected it to actually be the Yuanhun Realm.

And judging from the aura erupting from him, it was not the slightest bit weaker than Warrior Feng…

"Who goes there! State your name!"

Elder Qiao roared, his aura surging as he immediately prepared to fight to the death.

"Rumble"…

Just then, the Secret Room's Formations completely shattered, and the entire high-rise gambling den was instantly destroyed…

Everything happened too suddenly, and the many gamblers inside the den were terrified…

Fleeing in all directions…

Pavilion Master Qiao Yuanzhou, with a solemn expression, froze after seeing the face of the newcomer…

Xiao Fan's attention was also on the outside. He stared intently, calculating at every moment what he should do if he encountered danger later…

However, when he saw the person who had come from outside, he also froze…

"Who am I?" A woman's voice drifted down from above the collapsed gambling den…

The voice was charming, yet exceptionally cold.

This person was none other than Elder Shi Pin!

She had followed Xiao Fan here, and when Xiao Fan stepped into the gambling den, she was still wondering what he had come here to do.

But after Xiao Fan stepped into the Secret Room, she could no longer sense his aura.

She was a Great Master of Formations, a Formation Master who could be ranked among the best in the entire Wuhuang Province, so she naturally could recognize that this Formation was very strong.

In her anxiety, fearing that Xiao Fan might be in danger, she immediately took action.

Putting aside the fact that Xiao Fan possessed an Enlightenment Seed, the fact that he had offended the Diao Family at the auction today meant that this matter would not be so easily resolved.

In her haste, Elder Shi Pin directly took action…

Elder Shi Pin looked down coldly, her gaze scanning to find Xiao Fan's figure…

Her cultivation was at the Yuanhun Realm, though she might not necessarily have the strongest combat power within the Yuanhun Realm.

But her attainments in Formations were absolutely at the Peak of Wuhuang Province; for her, wanting to destroy a Magic Array was as easy as could be.

"Elder… Elder Shi Pin…" Xiao Fan hurriedly spoke up.

He realized that this was a misunderstanding.

It was highly likely that Elder Shi Pin had followed him out, seen him enter the gambling den, and thought he was in danger, so she had taken action.

What a terrifying woman…

At the same time, Xiao Fan was filled with lingering fear…

This Elder Shi Pin's actions were too ruthless.

The entire gambling den had been destroyed just like that…

"Hmm?"

Without the Formation blocking her, Elder Shi Pin also saw Xiao Fan.

She discovered that he was completely unharmed, and he even had a Storage Pouch in his hand…

And next to him was…

The North Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion…

And that little girl who had been with Xiao Fan in the Secret Realm back then…

As for Qiao Rong's identity, Elder Shi Pin, as an Inner Sect Elder and the Head of Zhenyu Peak, knew it very well…

She knew that she was a person from the Treasure Pavilion.

Linking it to everything that had happened today, she immediately understood something.

Good grief.

So it turns out they were just shills…

Many powerhouses in the Imperial Capital rushed over one after another.

A huge explosion had occurred within the Imperial Capital, so this matter naturally shook the entire city.

Xiao Fan's face stiffened; who could have imagined that this would happen!

Blame Elder Shi Pin?

Certainly not, as she had done it for his own good.

Pavilion Master Qiao Yuanzhou's expression was also exceptionally awkward; he hadn't expected that it would be Elder Shi Pin who had come.

Then he could understand how the Formations inside the Secret Room had been broken…

At the same time, he was also puzzled: why had this woman come over?

Xiao Fan had just arrived…

Couldn't she just talk properly?

The Treasure Pavilion had spent quite a high price to build the Formations for this Secret Room.

And yet, she had just fluttered away.

"Are you unharmed?" Elder Shi Pin looked at Xiao Fan and said coldly.

Xiao Fan nodded, quietly tucking the Storage Pouch into his robes, and then bowed respectfully:

"This Disciple is unharmed; I have caused the Head to worry… and here…"

Xiao Fan still wanted to continue explaining, but he saw Elder Shi Pin in the air nod and directly interrupt him:

"As long as you are unharmed, I shall return now…"

"Whoosh"…

Elder Shi Pin turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.

She ran off…

Xiao Fan: "…"

Pavilion Master Qiao Yuanzhou: "…"

Qiao Rong: "…"

Good grief, can she really do that?

At this moment, Xiao Fan seriously suspected that Elder Shi Pin had done it on purpose.

She must have felt that her rash action was wrong and just found an excuse to run away.

Pavilion Master Qiao Yuanzhou, standing beside him, had a face as dark as charcoal…

He was so angry he ground his teeth; who had he provoked?

She destroyed his Treasure Pavilion's Secret Room, didn't say a single word of apology… and just ran off??

Qiao Rong was also stunned; she naturally recognized Elder Shi Pin, and she hadn't expected it to be her!

The three of them stood there, stunned…

A few more breaths passed, and powerhouses arrived one after another above the destroyed gambling den.

Pavilion Master Yan Tong and the other three branch Pavilion Masters also rushed over one after another…

Each of them was furious, filled with Killing Intent.

Whoever dared to cause trouble while his Treasure Pavilion was holding an auction was a sworn enemy of the Treasure Pavilion!

"Old Qiao, what happened?"

"Where are they! Who caused the trouble…"

"Where is the enemy?"

"…They ran away!"
