287: The secret vault was stolen, and the outrageous family was furious

“This is the message from the Hidden Guard who infiltrated the Lipu Family’s External Affairs Hall!”

Wang Chao said in a deep voice.

“The Lipu Family? Have the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division’s Hidden Guards developed so rapidly?” Chu Jiang chuckled as he took the secret letter.

The Lipu Family was hidden in the shadows, and the difficulty of infiltrating them was unimaginable.

“Half a year ago, after you disappeared, Commander Fu interrogated the people from Ice Serpent Valley. They said that you would sooner or later make a move on the Lipu Family, so she vigorously trained the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division’s strongest undercover agent and had him infiltrate the Lipu Family’s interior in advance!”

“Now, under the alias Li Bao, he has ascended to the position of Deputy Hall Master of the External Affairs Hall in three months, and in half a month, he will be promoted to the Hall Master.”

Good heavens.

Chu Jiang’s brows relaxed. This girl had some of his demeanor; it seemed she had grown a lot in the past six months.

“This Li Bao, isn’t he Wen Kai, the one who infiltrated Qingfeng Stronghold and almost became its leader?” Chu Jiang asked.

Among the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division, he could only think of this one person with such a level of skill.

“Your Divine Calculation is correct, it is indeed this person. This person seems to be a born undercover saint, no matter where he is, he can be promoted quickly!”

Wang Chao praised him, saying that other Hidden Guards were constantly on edge, as if facing a deep abyss, while he strolled casually. Perhaps this was innate talent.

It was also difficult for others to learn.

Chu Jiang opened the secret letter and read its contents.

“The Taiping Holy Church, Earth Fiend Hall, and powerful figures from the demon faction will gather at the Lipu Family in one month to discuss important matters!”

The specific matter was unknown.

After all, the External Affairs Hall was only responsible for executing superior orders and invitations. To uncover this level of information was already quite rare.

“Sir, do we need to request support from our superiors for this matter?”

Wang Chao said, as the Lipu Family was powerful, and behind them stood one of the Eight Great Families, making them difficult to shake.

With all parties gathered, their intentions must be significant.

“No need, everything as usual, as if nothing happened!”

A smile appeared on Chu Jiang’s face.

Since they were all coming to him, it saved him the trouble of finding them one by one.

Such a great opportunity was rare.

He could wipe out the western scourges in one fell swoop.

“Oh, right, send Li Bao a Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Talisman for easy contact!”

Chu Jiang added.

“Understood!”

“Your subordinate will go immediately!”

Wang Chao cupped his hands and then swiftly departed.

…

Lipu Family.

West side of the secret vault, underground.

Xiao Bai and Long Teng were whispering furtively.

“That Heaven and Earth Realm expert has left, Long Teng, we can start!” Xiao Bai said with a mischievous grin.

“Bai Ge, are you sure?”

Long Teng asked blankly, his eyes wide like wheels.

Xiao Bai nodded.

They were about to succeed, but then a welcoming ceremony suddenly started, and everything was under strict guard, forcing them to halt their operation.

The two had been guarding here for several days, but that show-off had not left, making it impossible to act.

Their original intention was to steal from the Lipu Family’s ancestral tomb, but there was no ancestral tomb here, so they could only steal from their treasure vault.

Having said that.

Xiao Bai once again pulled out two blue invisibility talismans from his Storage Pouch and affixed them to Long Teng’s body.

For extra caution, he also placed two Qi Concealing Talismans on both of them.

These items were naturally obtained from several treasure hunts. As long as a Heaven and Earth Realm expert didn't use their Divine Sense to check, they wouldn't be discovered.

“Next, communicate with Divine Soul!”

“Once inside, follow my commands, no messing around!”

Xiao Bai said.

“Understood!”

Long Teng chuckled.

Xiao Bai began to act, and the two started moving towards the secret vault.

This secret vault was the largest and most deeply hidden treasure vault of the Lipu Family, but no matter how deep it was hidden, it couldn't escape his nose. He could dig out things from underground, let alone on the surface.

Although there were no guards, various Killing Formations were carved inside and out. One wrong step would lead to instant death.

But these Formations were not difficult for him.

He had countless experiences with treasure digging.

He was already very experienced in how to break these treasure-guarding Formations.

“Left three, right seven!”

Xiao Bai transmitted his voice.

“Up eight, out two!”

Long Teng closely followed Xiao Bai’s steps without a single misstep, as the two had already cooperated in digging up over a dozen treasure vaults and ancestral tombs.

The two passed unimpeded and arrived before an ancient, simple door.

Sniff, sniff…

Xiao Bai’s nose twitched a few times, and his eyes immediately lit up: “Thirteenth row from the top left, third brick, there’s a fingerprint!”

Long Teng was dumbfounded.

“Bai Ge, your nose is even more sensitive than a dog’s, you can even smell fingerprints?”

This was too Heaven-Defying, to be able to pinpoint the exact brick.

Xiao Bai gave Long Teng an eye-roll and didn’t respond. His ancestors were figures who followed the Demon Quelling Heavenly Venerable, possessing vast Divine Abilities.

As his cultivation improved, fragments of memories would occasionally surface in his mind. These were the legacies left by his ancestors.

But Xiao Bai didn’t open it immediately. Instead, he took out a Formation Plate. This Formation Plate was called Heaven Water Concealment, and it could block the commotion that would soon arise, making everything silent.

Water conceals all methods.

And it wouldn't conflict with nearby Formations.

“Go!”

The Heaven Water Concealment Formation Plate opened, forming an invisible wave.

Crack!

The secret vault door opened.

The intense vibration, upon contact with the Heaven Water Concealment Formation Plate, became invisible.

Upon entering the secret vault.

As far as the eye could see, there were over a dozen shelves, neatly categorized.

Medicinal Pills, weapons, crystals, Spirit Medicine, and so on.

All sorts of rare and precious jade bottles were dazzling.

In brocade boxes and jade boxes, supreme treasures were placed.

“Third-grade Treasure Pill, Heavenly Aspect Pill, can raise a Faxiang Realm practitioner by one Realm!”

“Second-grade Golden Marrow Pill, purifies magical power!”

“Heavenly Spirit Liquid, can instantly replenish magical power!”

“Fourth-grade Spiritual Plant, Nine-Leaf Heavenly Poison Ganoderma, contains nine different attributes of poisonous Qi, comprehensively boosting!”

“Not bad, this can be used for Xiao Xuanxuan!”

“Three Eight-Revolving Golden Cores!”

“Eighty various Spiritual Artifacts, two supreme Spiritual Artifacts!”

“…”

Xiao Bai’s eyes gleamed. So many treasures, he was rich.

This was the biggest haul of the year.

“That is… Fourth-grade Violet Lightning Heavenly Crystal!”

Long Teng directly bypassed other treasures and looked at the Violet Lightning Heavenly Crystal.

If he could devour this Violet Lightning Heavenly Crystal, he would definitely advance.

But he remembered Bai Ge’s words and didn’t act, listening to his command for everything.

“Long Teng, wait until I set up the Teleportation Formation before you take anything!”

Xiao Bai suppressed his breathing. For this heist, he had been preparing for a long time, having already set up a Formation thousands of miles away.

As long as he carved the corresponding Formation patterns here, connecting with the outside, he could instantly teleport thousands of miles away.

In an instant, purple light streaked across the Void Realm, flowing like Dragons and snakes.

Forming various runes.

Half an hour later.

The Formation patterns were complete!

“Long Teng, let’s go!”

Xiao Bai said nothing more and immediately began to plunder.

His claws rummaged wildly, and a large number of Medicinal Pills entered his Storage Pouch.

At the same time.

Long Teng, on the other hand, went straight for the crystal shelf where the Violet Lightning Heavenly Crystal was located. His purple claws swept across with great force, and all sorts of crystals on the shelf went into his Storage Pouch.

In a flash.

Over a dozen shelves were plundered clean, not even half a hair was left.

Just as the two were frantically plundering.

Boom!

The secret vault suddenly exploded with a loud sound.

The Lipu Family’s Elder Lipu Bao’s eyes snapped open, and his face instantly changed as he flew in the direction of the secret vault.

“Thieves, stealing my Lipu Family’s treasures, don’t you dare escape!”

“All Elders, quickly seal the Void Realm, don’t let the thieves escape!”

A voice like thunder exploded, echoing throughout the Lipu Family.

Lipu Bao was furious.

An invisible Formation was set up in the secret vault, but it would only be triggered under one condition: when a large number of treasures were taken away at the same time.

This was originally set up to prevent someone from stealing from within.

Such a big commotion.

This indicated that the thieving scoundrel was extremely greedy.

They were truly beasts.

“Not good, we’ve been discovered! Long Teng, quickly retreat!”

Xiao Bai’s face changed slightly, and he immediately motioned for Long Teng to step onto the purple Formation pattern platform.

“Heaven and Earth without bounds, escape through the Eight Desolations!”

Xiao Bai let out a soft cry, and the two instantly vanished from their original spot.

Thousands of miles away.

Whoosh!

Xiao Bai and Long Teng emerged from the Formation they had set up in advance.

Boom!

“Sky-Piercing Fist!”

Xiao Bai said nothing more, raising his fist and violently destroying the Teleportation Formation.

“Divine Dragon Tail Sweep!”

Long Teng also followed suit, adding another blow to the Formation.

It was completely smashed through.

Thoroughly scrapped.

“Long Teng, it’s time to split!”

Xiao Bai lightly shouted.

The two swiftly flew away from the area. Although they were already safe, the further away from the Lipu Family, the better.

…

Less than ten breaths after Xiao Bai and Long Teng left, several Elders joined forces to seal the Void Realm.

They instantly rushed into the secret vault.

Holy cow (Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ)

The Elders looked at the empty secret vault and could no longer hold back.

“Damn beasts!”

Lipu Bao let out an extreme roar of rage.

Damn it.

Not even half a blade of grass was left.

They were outright bandits!

“Elder Bao, there are Formation patterns, quickly pursue!”

An Elder discovered the faint purple Formation patterns that had not dissipated and was instantly overjoyed.

The few of them instantly flew over.

“Damn it, the other party destroyed the Formation, it’s impossible to track them!”

That Elder sighed, turning from joy to disappointment. The other party was clearly a repeat offender, very experienced.

They were actually able to bypass layers of Killing Formations and enter the secret vault without being discovered.

Could it be someone from the Saint of Thieves lineage in Qing Province of the Eastern Region?

But no matter what, they could only swallow this bitter pill.

At this moment.

A person with a powerful aura descended from the sky.

It was Lipu Dragon, the controller of the Lipu Family.

His face was also burning with rage. Since the establishment of their Lipu Family.

No one had ever dared to be so audacious.

“Investigate, thoroughly investigate! No matter who the other party is, my Lipu Family will make them pay a bloody price!”

With their largest secret vault stolen, the Lipu Family suffered heavy losses.

Some of the items inside were for contacting the Taiping Holy Church and Earth Fiend Hall.

Now, everything was gone.

Bastards.

“Yes!”

The Elders replied, also filled with Killing Intent.
