Chapter 620: Chapter 293: Heroic Spirit Gathering_2

"Nope, still the same. The World of Hundred Demons is so vast. It’s not that easy to find opportunities," said Jiang Miaoyin, suddenly turning to look at Chu Xiu with a pitiful expression, "Senior, without you, I feel so insecure. I don’t dare to go anywhere, afraid of encountering some big monster or running into that psycho Murder Ghost again."

Chu Xiu found it amusing and didn’t take the girl’s words to heart. As a top King Tier from a prominent family, with his help and the refining of a super-strong Curse Spirit, even if he encountered a Heroic Spirit, he was confident in escaping unharmed.

Seeing that Chu Xiu was still immune to her little tricks, Jiang Miaoyin shifted the topic to seek credit: "But during this period, an Heroic Spirit senior came to the city we were exploring. I managed to drive him away and successfully guarded the secret of the Soul Hall!"

Chu Xiu let out a silent laugh, thought for a moment, and said, "Not bad."

With those words, Jiang Miaoyin contentedly closed her mouth.

Soon, the Spiritual Vessel arrived near a luxurious restaurant outside the auction venue. The two ascended to the top floor of the banquet hall, and before they even approached, Chu Xiu showed a look of surprise.

He sensed as many as fifty or sixty powerful auras inside the hall!

"This time... so many Heroic Spirits came?"

"Senior, didn’t I already tell you?"

"Hmm... I didn’t expect so many."

Last time at the Shanghai auction, there seemed to be only a dozen Heroic Spirits.

"Not everyone has arrived yet. Uncle predicts that the auction will have over a hundred Heroic Spirit participants, with even Demigod powerhouses making an appearance, and perhaps even..."

Jiang Miaoyin leaned closer, mysteriously saying, "We might even see the Celestial King!"

Celestial King!

The words made Chu Xiu’s eyelids twitch slightly. He turned to the oval face close at hand and asked with suspicion, "Is there something special about this auction?"

"Of course, but the related information is confidential. Before departure, our clan leader specifically instructed me not to tell outsiders, but..." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Mid-sentence, Jiang Miaoyin playfully blinked and leaned a little closer, "But, Senior, what is our relationship? We are comrades who have lived and died together! Can that be considered an outsider? Senior, don’t you agree?"

After speaking, Chu Xiu shook his head rather helplessly and proceeded forward.

"Alright, alright, I won’t keep you in suspense," Jiang Miaoyin quickly followed, "Supposedly, this public auction will feature a rare treasure, so it has attracted many powerhouses."

"But as for what treasure, I don’t really know. Uncle just said that the thing has nothing to do with me, so I didn’t ask further."

At those words, Chu Xiu nodded lightly and didn’t dwell on it. Even though Demigod powerhouses and even the Celestial King would appear, no matter how miraculous the treasure, it had nothing to do with him. Though he had modest wealth, how could he possibly compete with those top powerhouses?

Chu Xiu pushed open the hall door, and instantly dozens of gazes shot toward him.

"I am Qin Yu, greetings to you all." Chu Xiu cupped his hands and said.

Immediately, a group of Heroic Spirits greeted in return and approached to converse.

Everyone was very amicable, and with the rapid sound transmission exchange speed between Heroic Spirits, it didn’t take long for Chu Xiu to familiarize himself with everyone present.

These were the elite at the pinnacle of Huaxia’s hierarchy: clan leaders from major families, well-known guild leaders, multinational corporation presidents, government officials, and those big names that occasionally appeared on TV news were right in front of Chu Xiu, talking and laughing without the slightest pretension.

Chu Xiu didn’t miss the opportunity to expand his network and gather information, seamlessly joining the conversation and even proactively added many people’s contact information.

This made Jiang Miaoyin beside him roll her eyes. Damn, isn’t this blatantly treating people differently! Why so cold to me!

But Chu Xiu naturally wouldn’t care about the girl’s little thoughts.

Afterward, more Heroic Spirits arrived one after another. However, just as Chu Xiu was having a pleasant chat with everyone, he suddenly, without warning, felt a twitch in his eye and an intense feeling of being watched like prey!

He abruptly turned around, directly meeting eyes with a tall man with a trimmed beard at the door.

The man was slightly taken aback upon meeting Chu Xiu’s gaze but quickly smiled calmly: "Brother Qin, your intuition is strong! I only glanced a little longer, and you already noticed!"

"You are..." Chu Xiu showed a look of regret.

"I am Zhang Changchuan! One of the three Heroic Spirits who entered the Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace alongside Brother Qin. However, we have not met before, so it’s only natural that Brother Qin doesn’t know me," the tall man laughed loudly.

"Zhang Changchuan..." Chu Xiu gave him a deep look, growing even more suspicious internally.

He had indeed heard of this person, an Heroic Spirit powerhouse from one of the four major families, the Zhang Family.

However, as he said, the two had no prior contact.

But what about that chilling feeling on his back just now? That was definitely not something that would arise from a mere double-take in his Spiritual Sense.

"Did I offend this person? But when could that have happened?"

"Wait, the Zhang Family, aren’t they the ones who want to use the Soul-Collecting Treasure Box to seize my family’s assets?"

"Could my identity be exposed? Are they looking for an opportunity to attack me?"

Upon thinking this, Chu Xiu furrowed his brows tightly.

But soon, he felt it didn’t quite add up. He had been cautious enough all along. It was somewhat possible for Chu Xiu’s identity to be exposed, but digging out even Qin Yu’s identity seemed far-fetched.

Qin Yu’s identity was acquired through Mountain View Building’s multi-layer insurance mechanism. Chu Xiu believed the Zhang Family did not have the means.
