"Rest assured, your belongings won't be lost." Mo Wen had his own plans. During his recent wanderings in the city, he had heard that the second son of the Di Family was looking for someone who could find Cangyue. Initially, he felt a bit anxious, but after learning about the Di Family's wealth and the capabilities of this second son’s subordinates, he began to plot.
The Di Family was a major force in Snow City, with few rivals. However, as is often the case, extreme prosperity can lead to decline. The current generation, led by Di Xuejiang, had started to falter. Among this generation, most were either idle or of mediocre talent. Di Xuejiang was the most outstanding yet also the most reckless, abusing his family's influence for his own gain. He was particularly good at collecting things; whatever caught his eye, he would acquire by any means necessary. Despite this, few dared to provoke Young Master Di in Snow City because the Di Family had connections with the current Xiang Guo of the Shu Cang Empire. Xiang Guo was none other than Gong Shangnan, a member of the Gong Family. Establishing ties with such a powerful family in this remote corner was unimaginable.
As the largest auction house in Snow City, Jiwufang's auctions were always hot topics in teahouses and taverns. This time was no exception, especially since an extraordinary weapon had been auctioned off at a high price, which quickly spread throughout the city. The buyer's identity was particularly intriguing; who could afford to produce eighty Ling Crystals at once? For most cultivators, gathering that much wealth was nearly impossible. Even for prominent families in the city, producing eighty Ling Crystals at once was a significant event. Moreover, the knife itself had become legendary; Mo Wen couldn't help but marvel at how it had been turned into something almost mythical through word of mouth.
Whenever valuable items were mentioned, people naturally thought of the second son of the Di Family. If it weren't for their substantial resources, he would have likely squandered them all by now. Speaking of Di Xuejiang brought a sense of resignation among the crowd. The Di Family had a powerful Old Ancestor who did not favor this younger generation. If it weren't for Di Xuejiang being the highest-ranked cultivator among the snow-character generation of the Di Family, he might have been dealt with long ago by his own ancestor. In earlier times, when the Ancestor occasionally appeared in town, Di Xuejiang behaved himself; however, in recent years, after the Ancestor entered seclusion, Di Xuejiang's bad tendencies emerged. If it weren't for the reputation of the older generation of the Di Family, he might have already met a grim fate.
With such an item being auctioned off at Jiwufang, it was certain that Di Xuejiang would have his eyes on the buyer. At this point, people couldn't help but sigh; if the buyer were from Snow City, they could seek compensation from the Di Family afterward. But since rumors suggested that the buyer was an outsider, their fate seemed dire.
While Mo Wen was out on the streets, Di Xuejiang was in a teahouse listening to reports from his subordinates. Since leaving Jiwufang that night, he hadn't returned home because every time valuable items appeared in town, he would be grounded. He needed to secure that knife before Old Ancestor's people found him; once he had it in hand, there would be no turning back.
"Good! Since this person hasn't left Snow City yet, Cangyue will belong to me." Hearing that there were no signs of the buyer leaving meant that they were still in town; he didn't even consider whether they might leave after changing their appearance.
"Young Master, someone just spotted that buyer heading towards the north gate with your knife."
