The three looked at the blonde woman in surprise; they hadn't expected her to be so agreeable tonight.
The Cloud Clan man said, "Um... it's fine if you don't want to go. You can help with security at the auction."
"I'll just focus my attention on the vault."
Guarding the vault is a very tedious and boring job, and it would be difficult for a hot-tempered blonde like her to do it.
The blonde, mature woman said in a deep voice, "One person is enough for the auction."
"Furthermore, the Heaven and Earth Lock is Martial Artifact of our Blazing Sun Clan, and you don't know as much about it as I do."
"If anything unexpected happens, I can be there to minimize the damage in time."
Upon hearing this, the three agreed that what she said made sense.
The Cloud Clan man nodded. "Alright, then you'll be in charge of the treasury."
"Everyone, once this auction is over, we'll be able to take a short vacation."
Being stationed in the Myriad Races Black Market is no different from being exiled to the frontier.
In this tiny world, there is only one tiny city.
It has nothing.
Its prosperity cannot be compared to that of the Ancient Race world.
If they could work in this world, no one would want to come to such a remote place.
Unlike the others, the blonde woman had volunteered to come here.
I thought that being far from the emperor's reach would mean fewer troubles.
But as fate would have it, instead of her heading towards the mountain, the mountain came to her.
The blonde woman muttered to herself, "I really want to punch her to pieces."
The Cloud Clan looked at them in confusion. "What did you say?"
The blonde woman shook her head.
The Cloud Clan man smiled and said, "That's all for tonight."
We won't see each other again until after the holiday. Have a great holiday everyone!
The blonde woman immediately got up and walked towards the door.
The robot watched her retreating figure, its red electronic prosthetic eye flashing a few times.
Immediately afterwards, a nanobot, barely visible to the naked eye, was released from the robot's wrist and eventually landed in the blonde woman's long hair.
Good morning, Qin Ze!
The next morning, Miss Sword Case greeted everyone with her usual energetic self.
Qin Ze stretched and said, "Good morning."
He released his spiritual power, and the feeling of being secretly observed disappeared.
"Giving up so quickly."
"What an impatient woman."
However, just to be on the safe side, he still opened the Shelter Space.
Miss Sword Case looked around and asked curiously, "Do you want to whisper something to me?"
Qin Ze said calmly, "We should go."
Miss Sword Case instantly became excited. "Let's go find a second sword?"
Qin Ze nodded. "Of course."
Miss Sword Case happily twirled around him, crying, "My sword~ My sword~"
On the rooftop opposite the vault, Qin Ze met with Daoist Miao had arrived earlier.
Daoist Miao looked him up and down. "Where is your Sword Case?"
Qin Ze replied, "It's too heavy, I didn't carry it."
"What an ugly mask."
Daoist Miao glanced at the beastly mask on Qin Ze's face and showed a look of disgust.
Qin Ze took out another mask of the same design. "Do you want one?"
After thinking for a moment, Daoist Miao finally took the mask that was hidden under the black robe.
"The patrol guards pass by the vault door every ten minutes."
"We took action during a window of opportunity."
Daoist Miao pointed to a group of soldiers who had just passed by them and said.
The two clung to the roof like geckos, with only half their heads sticking out.
Qin Ze asked, "What is the strength of the people inside the vault?"
Daoist Miao replied, "Three Peak of Level Five and one level six cultivator, can you handle that?"
Qin Ze twitched the corner of his mouth. "Can I... or can't I?"
Daoist Miao turned his head. "You're asking me?"
Immediately, his expression changed. "Damn it! I forgot about that!"
"If you can't handle this, we'll have to head back now."
Qin Ze was Level Seven cultivator, Daoist Miao only approached him for cooperation because he assumed Qin Ze could quickly resolve the issue of the four mid-level guards inside the vault.
Although there is only one level difference between Level 6 and Level Seven, there is a seemingly insurmountable gap between them.
When Advanced Martial Artist attacks a Intermediate Martial Artist, it's a case of dimensional reduction.
Strangely, however, Daoist Miao found that he couldn't discern the other party's cultivation level today.
Presumably, like him, they also used some kind of concealed Martial Artifact.
Qin Ze snapped out of his reverie, "I wasn't asking you; I was just habitually talking to myself."
"A mere level Level Six Martial Artist? Of course I can handle that."
"You can't do it?"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Miao puffed out his chest. "I... of course I can do it too!"
"But I had to stabilize the Heaven and Earth Lock at that time, so I couldn't free my hands."
Qin Ze suddenly realized. "I see."
The two men, each with their own ulterior motives, turned their heads at the same time, remaining silent and pretending to be experts.
As time ticked by, the time for action arrived.
Daoist Miao said in a deep voice, "There are ten guards at the main gate, ranging from level four to five."
"You to the left, I to the right, five each."
Just as Daoist Miao was about to get up, Qin Ze immediately pressed him back down.
"No need for that trouble."
Daoist Miao frowned, wondering what Qin Ze was up to.
With time running out, not a single second could be wasted.
Just then, a thick white fog suddenly surged onto the street, engulfing half the block and the vault along with it.
Faintly, Daoist Miao heard a rumbling sound coming from within the mist.
Qin Ze clapped his hands and stood up. "You can go down now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Ze spread his arms wide, like a large bird swooping down from the roof, and sped toward the vault.
Seeing Daoist Miao followed closely behind.
At the entrance to the vault, Daoist Miao saw ten guards lying on the ground, with wisps of electricity still remaining on their bodies.
Daoist Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief; he had found the right person.
Qin Ze said, "Open the door."
Daoist Miao pointed due east. "You stand there."
Qin Ze immediately stood over there.
Immediately afterwards, Daoist Miao turned his back to the gate, clasped his hands together, and faced Qin Ze.
Two wisps of white mist flew out from his body, landing in the due north and due south directions respectively, and after landing, they transformed into the same appearance as Daoist Miao.
Qin Ze blinked. One Qi Transforms into Two Pure Ones?
"Relax and don't resist."
As Daoist Miao's voice rang in his ears, Qin Ze clearly felt the surrounding space vibrating and folding continuously.
It was as if a powerful hand was constantly stirring this space.
The array formed by the four of them was like adhesive tape, tightly binding the surroundings together, so that it would not collapse no matter how much the space was disturbed.
"Found it."
Daoist Miao's voice revealed a hint of surprise as he locked onto the unlocked space.
The formation then began to draw upon Qin Ze's vital energy, and its power spread rapidly outwards, quickly covering the entire vault.
A huge, phantom-like golden lock appeared above the vault; it was the high-level Martial Artifact, the Heaven and Earth Lock.
Snap--
Daoist Miao clasped his hands together again, and surging flames burst forth from his body, forming a huge fire dragon in mid-air, which crashed into the keyhole.
" The Blazing Sun Clan."
Qin Ze had seen the exact same flame on the blonde mature woman.
Flames erupted within the Heaven and Earth Lock, instantly igniting the entire lock.
Less than a second later, a "click" was heard, and the lock opened.
