424: Catch them all

"Let's make this transaction even more interesting..." Long Yuan chuckled inwardly.

However, this transaction was not the main focus of Long Yuan's plan. Through the information gathered by his Heavenly Eye, he had already discovered the location where the loot plundered by Shadow Moon Hall and Vance and his group was hidden. This place was in a cliff cave to the south of Dingyuan City, where those experts were currently hiding, waiting for the wind to blow over before moving the stolen goods.

After confirming the location, Long Yuan went to the hotel front desk to check out and headed towards the East City...

At a secret garrison of the East City Army, Zhu Deqin, Dongfang Lie, and others were holding a grand banquet in the barracks, tasting delicious food and fruits while enjoying a song and dance performance. The atmosphere was quite lively.

Dongfang Lie, with a beautiful entertainer in his left arm and a wine cup raised in his right hand, said drunkenly, "Young Master, this Old Minister toasts to you. I wish our operation tonight success, and that the Young Master achieves great merit for our Dingyuan City!!!"

"Haha, thank you, Uncle Dongfang! Come, let's all drink up! The success of tonight depends on everyone! After the deed is done, we will hold another victory banquet!!!" Zhu Deqin said heartily, raising his glass.

"Young Master is mighty!"

"Drink up, drink up!"

"When the time comes, I must test how powerful the mecha of the Snow Eagle Country really is..."

"Hmph, mecha are just external objects. I value their High Grade genetic potions more; that stuff can better enhance our own combat power as Xuan Practitioners!"

"Makes sense, I'm also going for their genetic potions..."

There was much discussion in the barracks, with everyone talking enthusiastically. Their conversation was filled with excitement because, whether it was the mecha or the High Grade genetic potions, these were goods that Daming did not have, and their capabilities had long been rumored everywhere. Everyone couldn't wait to get their hands on them and experience them personally...

However, what they did not notice was that a figure was quietly entering the warehouse next to the barracks. This space was huge and filled with countless boxes of various sizes, which were the stolen goods that Zhu Deqin and his group intended to trade that night.

This figure was naturally Long Yuan. He used his Major Achievement Realm Breath Concealment Technique, flashing into the warehouse like a ghost, completely undetected by anyone.

His Divine Sense swept over, and he quickly found the ten boxes containing gold. In these boxes, only the top layer was real gold, while the rest below was gold-plated brass. He probed them with his Divine Sense, moved some gold-plated brass to the top layer, and after breaking the gold-plated layer, gently placed it on top, so that it would fall off upon the slightest external force...

Next, he found those fake calligraphy and paintings, got some water stains on them, and slowly let them spread, causing the calligraphy, paintings, and seals on them to start becoming somewhat blurred...

"Alright, it's time to go collect the mecha and potions..." Long Yuan's figure flickered and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

By evening, he had arrived at the cliff cave south of Dingyuan City. The surroundings were extremely desolate. The cave was located under the cliff, with the cliff's belly almost hollowed out, but the entrance was hidden deep within the vegetation, making it impossible for an ordinary person to discover it.

Long Yuan observed carefully and found that the entrance blended almost seamlessly with the surroundings, and there was no one guarding it. He guessed that no one would have thought that anyone could find this place. He thought for a moment and did not act immediately, but waited patiently. Sure enough, after a while, he saw someone come out of the cave, look around, and then wave into the cave. Then, people started coming out one after another carrying boxes, and others brought horse-drawn carriages to load the boxes. There were a total of twelve carriages. After loading, these people rested on the side, seemingly waiting for someone.

Long Yuan knew they were definitely waiting for Vance and his group. He probed the boxes with his Divine Sense and found that they indeed contained mecha and potions, with ten carriages loaded with mecha and two carriages with potions. After a brief thought, he first set up a Formation, covering these people and the carriages. Through the isolation effect of the Formation, he blocked the senses of these people, then took away the mecha, leaving only one set on each carriage. At the same time, he moved some stones underneath to cushion them so that the weight of the carriages would not be abnormal. Of course, those ten sets of Low Grade mecha were all taken away, replaced with sets of training mecha placed on top.

"Genetic potions? What good stuff, must take it all!" Long Yuan took all the potions from the other two carriages, then changed the bottles, filled them with water, and put them back.

The whole operation took only a few short minutes. It must be said that operating with Divine Sense is fast. Then he withdrew the Formation. Those Snow Eagle Country people did not notice what had just happened at all and were still resting and chatting there...

"Vance is coming out..." Long Yuan's Divine Sense had long probed inside the entrance and saw Vance leading people out from the depths of the cave. After a while, he walked outside the entrance.

The people who were resting stood up immediately upon seeing him come out. Vance said loudly, "It's about time, assemble, let's go!"

"Yes!!!" everyone responded in unison.

The convoy started quickly and headed towards the Fengbo Pavilion...

After they left, Long Yuan broke open the entrance and flashed inside. Walking through a long, narrow, and dark passageway, the space gradually became wider, and the lights became brighter. He could see the passageway splitting, leading to different cave openings...

His Divine Sense swept over and found that this cave space was quite extraordinary. There were nearly thirty caves of various sizes, with the large ones being a hundred zhang in circumference and the small ones being several dozen zhang. Almost every cave was piled with wealth, while those experts from the Shadow Moon Hall and various countries were scattered in several larger caves, some chatting, some Cultivating, and some flirting, even playing around on beds. It was truly a vivid and suggestive scene!

The cultivation of these people was mostly above Martial General, and two of them had even reached the Martial Commander level. No wonder they could easily sneak into Dingyuan City to launch an attack and finally plunder a large amount of wealth.

However, the cultivation of these people was nothing in Long Yuan's eyes. His Divine Sense easily covered the entire cave, and he cast out his Soul Net, locking onto these experts and instantly binding them tightly. He let out a soft shout, "Collect!"

In the blink of an eye, these people were moved to a special prison cell in the Heavenly Dao Space and locked up. These people only felt their consciousness blur for a moment, and after waking up, they found that they had suddenly changed locations, and their whole bodies were tightly bound by a strange force. They couldn't help but be shocked and struggled desperately. Then they discovered that their companions were also bound here just like them, and they were immediately unsettled. After understanding their situation, they suddenly felt a chill rise from the bottom of their hearts. They had actually been captured by someone. What on earth was going on?!

Could it be a dream?

Some people bit their tongues in pain and finally realized that this was not a dream at all, but something that had truly happened. They simply couldn't believe that so many experts could be caught in one fell swoop. Thus, some suspected they might have been ambushed and must have been poisoned; otherwise, such a situation could not have occurred...
