Chapter 369: No Nameless Sword, But a Sword to Kill You
Liu Zixuan understood that the auction of the 'Nameless Sword' had already changed in nature!
Perhaps, from the moment the news of this sword spread, when the two unfamiliar factions and the people from the Six Gates gathered in Ghost Wood City, the original structure had quietly shifted!
No one was willing to spend money to snatch it now, but that Nameless Sword would certainly not easily fall into Luo Yichuan's hands!
The man just in box one already said, it was just letting Luo Yichuan keep it temporarily!
And that old man was speaking with nuance, fearing that after the ghost market is over, a big battle will occur!
As the mysterious person delivered the Nameless Sword into Luo Yichuan's hands, most people began to slowly disperse outside.
This year's ghost market closed under such a manner!
Zhou Nian stood up and said, "Let's go too."
"I'm afraid we can't leave yet!"
Liu Zixuan pointed outside through the window, only to see Luo Yichuan coming over again.
He pushed the door open, gave them a gentle smile, "Now that the Nameless Sword is in our hands, I guess those two factions that tried to snatch it earlier will definitely not let it rest!"
"So what is Young Master Luo planning to do?" Liu Zixuan asked with a knowing smile.
Luo Yichuan directly handed the sword to Liu Zixuan, "They have surely marked the people in our box, so you two take the sword and leave, splitting into two groups with our people, exiting the Mandarin Duck Pavilion, then leave the ghost market from three directions."
Liu Zixuan took the sword without even looking at it, then asked, "Aren't you afraid I'd run off with the sword?"
"If you can run, consider that you have the skills!" Luo Yichuan was confident, showing great trust in Liu Zixuan!
Liu Zixuan grinned, "Alright, I'll do my best, and then what after it's done?"
"Meet at the entrance of the Treasure Hall!" Luo Yichuan said solemnly.
"No problem." Liu Zixuan nodded.
After Luo Yichuan finished speaking, he walked out of the room.
Zhou Nian anxiously tugged Liu Zixuan's sleeve, "Why did you agree to him? If those two factions see you with the Nameless Sword, they will definitely attack you directly."
"Who said this is the Nameless Sword?" Liu Zixuan said with a teasing smile.
"But..."
The Nameless Sword didn't have a scabbard, but this sword did, and even though it looked ninety percent similar to the Nameless Sword, to an expert, it was clearly not the Nameless Sword just now!
Liu Zixuan shrugged, "It's simple, Luo Yichuan wants us to be a decoy, using us to draw the attention of those two factions, while they leave with the real Nameless Sword!"
"Meeting at the Treasure Hall entrance, splitting into three routes, it's all just his rhetoric!"
"You know this and you still agreed? Whether it's the Nameless Sword or not, it's still dangerous!" Zhou Nian frowned, "I'll call my dad to ask what they should do?"
"Go ahead, tell them to find a place to hide outside the ghost market."
After Liu Zixuan finished speaking, he also took out his phone, dialed Liu Ruyan, and soon it connected, "Ruyan, are you at the apartment?"
"This late, where else would I be but the apartment, and you, still at the ghost market?" Liu Ruyan asked.
"Yes, take the box from under my room's bed and take a cab to the ghost market."
"Right now?"
Liu Zixuan thought for a bit, "Leave home fifteen minutes later, come alone. Don't bring Yiyi!"
"What mischief are you up to now?"
"How could I harm you?" Liu Zixuan grinned as he listened to Liu Ruyan mutter a few words at the other end, then hung up the phone.
After Liu Zixuan hung up, Zhou Nian also came over from the side, "My dad said they're packing up and will hide by the Temple of the God of Wealth."
"Good." Liu Zixuan adjusted his collar, lit a cigarette, "Let's go see tonight's beautiful scenery!"
"Beautiful scenery?" Zhou Nian questioned, then closely followed Liu Zixuan outside.
Walking side by side, the ghost market wasn't crowded anymore; in this modern city, holding a sword did indeed make one conspicuous!
Causing whispers among many people.
When they reached the ghost market entrance, Liu Zixuan paused, "In a moment, no matter what you see, act as if you didn't see it, okay?"
"What do you mean?"
"Just do as told!"
Liu Zixuan smirked, then walked briskly with Zhou Nian towards the Temple of the God of Wealth, but halfway there, a few figures flashed from a nearby alley.
Zhou Nian couldn't help but feel a bit frightened.
Liu Zixuan glanced back, gently took Zhou Nian's hand, calming her a little.
Under the dark night sky, the crescent moon cast a faint light upon the earth.
Stretching Liu Zixuan and Zhou Nian's shadows far.
In the tranquil night, only their footsteps echoed, sounding particularly eerie given that they both knew many eyes were watching them.
After about twenty more steps, suddenly, six large men wearing ghost face masks emerged, three in front and three from behind, directly surrounding Liu Zixuan and Zhou Nian.
"Hand over the Nameless Sword, or die!" one of the men shouted coldly.
Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, "No Nameless Sword here, but I do have a sword that can kill you, want it?"
"Kid, be sensible!"
Swish!
Liu Zixuan held the sword scabbard with his left hand, gripped the sword hilt with his right, and unsheathed the sword, pointing it at the man's face, "If you're not a fool, you should know if this is the Nameless Sword!"
When the man saw the sword wasn't the Nameless Sword, a shiver ran through him, muttering to himself, "We've been tricked!"
"Whose hands hold the Nameless Sword?"
Liu Zixuan shook his head, "Don't know!"
The men exchanged looks and dispersed, and Liu Zixuan chuckled, "Go find your dad and them."
"And you?" Zhou Nian asked.
"There's only one way out of the ghost market, if Luo Yichuan wants to sneak the Nameless Sword out, they'll have to come this way. They thought they could use me to divert attention, they'll surely try to go out here. But they wouldn't have thought I'd know this isn't the Nameless Sword and told those men too."
"So, Luo Yichuan will soon pass by here, I'll wait for him. He has to pay some price for using me anyway! Not just anyone can use me, even if he didn't manage to!" Liu Zixuan laughed jokingly.
Zhou Nian thought for a moment and nodded, "Then be careful, those people may be searching elsewhere, but there are still other forces watching around here too! You're not the only one hoping to benefit from this!"
