In that letter, it was written that the spy discovered that Duan Gujin had already left the inn and arrived at an open space outside the city.

According to his analysis, he judged that Duan Gujin was very likely waiting for his companion.

The letter emphasized that once Duan Gujin met up with his companion, they would have no chance to steal the treasures from him.

Upon reading this letter, the Branch President immediately went with two subordinates to the discreet location mentioned in the letter.

Sensing the Branch President's approach, Duan Gujin carefully observed and soon saw that following behind the Branch President were two Martial Artists at the Third Level of Martial Emperor.

Despite having a Martial Saint stationed at the auction, the Martial Saint was currently in seclusion.

In fact, the Branch President was only a president of a branch on the Jiuzhou Continent, and he had no authority to command the Martial Saint.

Usually, the Branch President treated the Martial Saint with utmost respect.

The Branch President believed that he and his two subordinates were fully capable of capturing Duan Gujin and then interrogating him about other treasures.

In doing so, he could obtain more treasures.

Previously, Duan Gujin had set up a Killing Array on that open ground, waiting for the Branch President and his subordinates to enter the array, at which point it would activate.

Moonlight flowed like water, illuminating the earth.

Although the moonlight tonight wasn't very bright, they all saw it as if it were daylight.

Seeing that only two Martial Emperors at the Third Level followed the Branch President, Duan Gujin was somewhat surprised.

The Branch President hurriedly arrived and quickly saw the spy waiting for him on the open ground.

Without suspicion, he immediately led his two subordinates in a rapid charge towards the spy.

However, as they approached the spy, they suddenly felt a strong force erupt from underneath them, instantly enveloping their bodies.

A loud boom echoed as the void exploded.

The Branch President and his two subordinates were instantly injured by the triggered Killing Array, their bodies heavily falling to the ground.

And the spy used by Duan Gujin as bait was blasted into countless pieces, dead.

Seeing that the three had been injured but had avoided the strongest attack of the Killing Array, Duan Gujin sighed inwardly.

"These three are high-level Martial Emperor experts, the Killing Array might not be able to kill them instantly! Moreover, it seems there's a treasure on the Branch President that saved his life!"

Duan Gujin's brow furrowed deeply, sensed a burst of light exploding from the Branch President's body, it was that light that prevented the Branch President from being seriously injured by the Killing Array.

But by now, the two subordinates of the Branch President had been seriously injured.

"Bad! It's a trap!"

The Branch President's face paled dramatically, his heart filled with terror.

His face covered with blood, but at this moment he couldn't care less about wiping the blood off.

He hadn't expected to fall into Duan Gujin's scheme and became panicky.

He glanced around, seeing that the two Third Level Martial Emperor experts by his side were greatly harmed by the opponent, he knew he must immediately flee the area.

Otherwise, he would perish here today.

Thus, he transformed into a streak of light, fleeing at extreme speed.

As he fled, suddenly several white lights appeared along his path.

Seeing the Branch President escaping, Duan Gujin quickly took several Flying Knives from his storage ring and shot them towards the Branch President.

"Don't kill me! My friend, if you want your items, please don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

The Branch President immediately begged for mercy, yelling for his life while dodging Duan Gujin's Flying Knives.

He had just seen the spy's body blasted apart, and he knew the situation had definitely been exposed.

Duan Gujin's brow slightly furrowed, his mind stirred, and the Flying Knives aimed at the Branch President quickly all shot into the nearby ground.

Seeing all the Flying Knives fall to the ground, the Branch President finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, knowing that he was no match for Duan Gujin.

He seldom exercised normally, and his cultivation was merely boosted by various Elixir Pills; his combat experience was extremely limited.

Ever since he became a Branch President of the Jiuzhou Auction, he indulged in female company, hardly ever finding time to exercise.

Therefore, he was now utterly no match for Duan Gujin.

Furthermore, now that he was seriously injured, he knew that surrendering was his best option.

"Return everything that belonged to me previously! And also hand over all the other items you've obtained! Your subordinate has told me everything, your actions of plotting for money and murder are utterly unforgiveable!"

Duan Gujin said coldly.

"Yes, yes, yes, I deserve to die! Please don't kill me, I can use money to atone for my sins!"

The Branch President, hearing that the spy had told everything to the opponent, knew that it was best not to tell lies in front of this person.

Lest the opponent has a Recording Crystal to record everything the spy said before, making it difficult for him to explain later.

"Why did you do this?"

Duan Gujin casually asked.

The Branch President immediately explained, and Duan Gujin learned the truth.

It turns out that the Branch President was just a president of a branch in the Jiuzhou Auction, with very limited authority.

Over the years, he had spent a lot of money from the auction house; left with no other choice, he had opted for this method to acquire wealth.
