Chapter 534: Chapter 125 New Moon Church

The Holy Image Auction House suddenly found itself with a "VIP guest."

Within a single day, he spent a fortune and purchased several auction items.

All of these were just "mundane goods," which meant little to Gu Shen.

After finalizing the payment for the items, he sat in the VIP waiting room, and it wasn’t long before a group of staff members came to see him, led by a man in a sharp business suit who seemed to be a senior manager of the auction house.

"Mr. Amir... I am the general manager of Holy Image."

The newcomer briefly introduced himself and politely invited, "Our boss would like to meet you."

For someone like Gu Shen, who had only been there for one day and already spent into the seven figures, there were indeed a few "big customers" like him.

However, this customer had some special requests.

These auction items, Gu Shen hoped that Holy Image would package and send them to the East Continent... Although he held a credit black card from the flower banner, it was, after all, money spent, and he chose to bid for those things partly because he took a fancy to them.

These few pieces of antique furniture and murals could be placed in Chunyu Temple.

An outsider from the Outer Continent?

Looking at Gu Shen’s attire... it didn’t quite seem like it, and as the auction house’s records clearly stated, he was a noble young master who grew up in the Inland State.

Gu Shen’s purpose in coming here was simple.

He didn’t want to attract too much attention, yet he hoped to find a local person "capable enough" to help him search for the Anger Lamp... choosing this auction house, employing his financial power to buy auction items, and then to make contact with the owner behind the scenes.

In this place, he could have the "owner" do things that were inconvenient for him to do himself.

...

...

The general manager led the way to an office on the highest floor of the building.

Gu Shen gently pushed the door open.

He noticed... there was already an Extraordinary Aura here, although it wasn’t very strong, it indicated that the Holy Image Auction House was indeed controlled by Transcendents.

Hmm... as it should be.

Those who could stand at the highest levels of Southern Continent society should be Transcendents.

This confirmed he had come to the right place.

"Oh! Dear... Mr. Amir..."

The office chair in front of the massive floor-to-ceiling window slowly spun around; the "owner" who had been enjoying the sunlight streaming over the Xinyin River, turned to face Gu Shen, his smile beaming, only for his eyes to quickly grow vacant.

A thread of Chi Huo gradually dissipated from the center of his forehead.

Gu Shen flicked his fingers extinguishing the flame.

He looked up at the surveillance.

"Someone is monitoring the boss’ office... Compared to the power behind Holy Image Auction House, he is just a small fish," Chu Ling said, "The surveillance feed is blocked now, there are three Transcendents on this floor, their strength should be around the second phase."

Gu Shen nodded.

Now, his spiritual power was faster than Chu Ling’s "Data Investigation."

The Holy Image Building should have four Transcendents, but one of them had already left while he was waiting... the strength of these few Transcendents was actually considered quite good.

Gu Shen’s "Chi Huo" could faintly sense the spiritual outlines of those Transcendents.

Dressed similarly to his current attire... these few Transcendents were all cloaked in religious robes and probably came from the same church.

His actions were swift and decisive.

Now that they had met, there was no need for pleasantries or to waste time.

Gu Shen directly used Blazing Fire Hypnosis to pull the owner into his spiritual domain... As for the Transcendents on the same floor, Gu Shen wasn’t worried; second phase power wielders were no longer a threat to his "Chi Huo."

"Mr. Amir..."

The owner looked puzzled, slowly lifting his head to look at Gu Shen, after the hypnosis, the warm smile on his face slowly disappeared, turning into confusion.

"I need your help... to search within the range of Xiyin City for this lamp," Gu Shen said, taking out a photo of the Anger Lamp and waving it in front of the owner, giving a brief description of its features.

He spoke softly, "Additionally... keep as low a profile as possible. I don’t want too many people to know, and the person undertaking this task must be absolutely trustworthy."

The owner listened attentively.

At this moment, looking at Gu Shen, he appeared like a radiant sun, his eyes filled only with admiration and conviction.

"...Yes."

"Remember, we had a lovely chat today. If you have any issues, you can contact me. This is my communication number..." Gu Shen wrote down his contact information, and when the owner received the slip of paper, his expression suddenly struggled.

At that moment.

Gu Shen faintly felt a ripple of spiritual power.

Perhaps it was a coincidence... a Transcendent’s spiritual power brushed by this area and sensed something amiss.

Gu Shen furrowed his brow.

Footsteps sounded from behind; he gestured for the owner to take the note and quickly lifted the hypnosis, both resuming a friendly conversation between host and guest, and the next instant, someone pushed the door open.

A young Transcendent in a white robe, with black hair and eyes, stood at the doorway.

At that moment, Gu Shen sensed the newcomer’s Extraordinary Power... probably around the sixth layer of the deep water area, in his early twenties, which was quite impressive for his age.

"Zhou?"

The owner lifted his gaze to the visitor, took a startled pause, vaguely feeling he had forgotten something. However, seeing the piece of paper in his hand, a series of memories emerged in his mind... he had a joyous conversation with the VIP guest of Holy Image, Mr. Amir, and they exchanged contact details.

So he did remember.

Well, then it’s all right.
