Chapter 285: Looting
"Damn it!"
Zhou Zheng's face turned pale as he punched the shelf next to him. The hard thousand-year-old ironwood cracked and groaned under the heavy weight.
"Let him get away!"
Unable to find the person, the anger that had nowhere to vent was once again turned towards the culprit.
He turned his head suddenly, a terrifying cold light flashing in his eyes, and looked at Zhou Wan and her son who were still trembling beside him.
"I'll settle the score with you guys later!"
After saying this, Zhou Zheng did not stay any longer. He knew there was no point in wasting time here.
He turned around and turned into a shadow, rushing out of the treasure house.
As soon as he left, his murderous voice echoed back from afar, resounding throughout the Zhou family mansion.
"Pass on my order! Seal all four gates of Bluestone City immediately!"
"No entry, no exit!"
"The whole city is searching for an old man named Gu Hong! He has white hair and a tall, thin figure!"
"Anyone who provides clues will be rewarded with 100 high-grade spirit stones!"
"Anyone who can capture it will be rewarded with ten top-grade spirit stones and can join the Zhou Family Elders Council!"
The order was like thunder, quickly passed through the guards and stewards in the mansion and spread to the entire Qingshi City.
For a time, the entire Qingshi City was in a state of panic, and countless vassal forces of the Zhou family and independent cultivators who wanted to take advantage of the situation all took action upon hearing the news.
After Zhou Zheng left, the suffocating pressure in the treasure house slowly dissipated.
Zhou Peng covered his swollen cheek and gasped in shock.
After the fear, a feeling of boundless humiliation and resentment surged into his heart.
"Damn it! Damn old thing!"
"How dare you play tricks on me?"
"He even tricked me into recognizing him as my grandfather and stole my family's treasure."
When Zhou Peng thought about how he had behaved like a grandson before, he felt his face burning, which was more painful than being slapped by his father.
"I must catch him."
"I will tear him into pieces... extract his soul and refine his spirit!"
Zhou Peng seemed to be crazy, raging helplessly in the empty treasure house.
Because he was too excited, the injury on his face was affected, and he grimaced in pain, looking as funny as he could be.
Zhou Wan was a completely different person.
Her face was pale and her eyes were empty as she looked at the looted treasure house. She seemed as if her soul had been sucked out of her.
"It's over...it's all over..."
"The treasury was stolen... Master..."
"He won't let us go..."
As if she had foreseen her miserable future, her body softened and she staggered out of the treasure house.
After Zhou Peng vented his anger, he looked at the treasure house that was so empty that you could run a horse in it, and felt a wave of weakness and panic from the bottom of his heart.
His legs went limp and the servants who came rushing over helped him to leave the place where he had suffered such great humiliation.
After confirming that everyone's breath had completely disappeared, peace returned to the outside of the treasure house.
After waiting for a full stick of incense, Yun Chen, who was hiding in the shadows, slowly came out of his invisibility and reappeared.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, only then realizing that his back was completely soaked with cold sweat.
Just now, I really had a close call with death.
He looked down at the talisman in his hand. The yellow paper that had originally emitted a faint glow had now dimmed and turned into a piece of waste paper. It turned into ashes with the slightest touch.
"It was damn close."
Yun Chen secretly felt lucky.
Then, a huge doubt arose in his mind.
"Why did Zhou Zheng come back suddenly?"
"And you look like you're furious because your parents died?"
Yun Chen frowned, puzzled.
"Logically speaking, shouldn't he have gone to Qingyun Sect to deal with Ling Xiaotian's mess? How could this happen..."
Did I expose myself?
No, there is no way that idiot Zhou Peng knows his true identity.
"Gu Hong..."
Yun Chen thought about this name and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
However, Zhou Zheng's spiritual search just now was indeed a bit strange.
Logically speaking, the consciousness of a Jindan stage cultivator shouldn't be able to get away with it so easily even with the cover of an invisibility talisman and true qi.
unless……
Yun Chen slowly turned his head and looked at a shadow in the treasure house.
"Thanks for your help, brother."
There was an imperceptible fluctuation in the air.
A figure dressed in black, who seemed to blend into the darkness, slowly emerged from the shadows.
He was wearing a black mask without any patterns on his face.
It was Ying Qi who had been following Yun Chen.
"You are welcome."
"Easy to do."
"I just disrupted his spiritual perception. The main thing is to rely on you."
Yun Chen raised his eyebrows: "You have to thank me for that."
"Otherwise, today's level will be really difficult to pass."
Ying Qi didn't comment, but said calmly: "That's not what you should be thinking about."
"Zhou Zheng has spread your portrait throughout Qingshi City and issued a death order for the entire city to be sealed off."
"You are now trapped in a jar."
"And you emptied the Zhou family's treasury. This is enough for Qingyun Sect and Zhou Zheng to join forces and hunt you down to the ends of the earth."
"Think about how to calm the anger of these two major forces."
After saying that, Ying Qi's figure became blurred again. Without giving Yun Chen any chance to ask further questions, he quietly merged back into the shadows and disappeared.
Inside the treasury, deathly silence returned once again.
Yun Chen stood there and smacked his lips.
Calm down the anger?
He had a smile on his face that contained a hint of mockery and disdain.
I stole it with my own ability, why should I appease their anger?
Shouldn't I be the one who's angry?
He muttered to himself, "Calm down, s***."
Zhou family, Qingyun Sect...
He raised his head and looked around the huge treasure trove again.
Because of time constraints, he only took the most valuable and least conspicuous part.
just now……
Since Zhou Zheng has already determined that it was "Gu Hong" who did it, and the whole city is wanted for the non-existent "old thief".
Then...why should I be polite to him?
A cunning glint flashed in Yun Chen's eyes.
He stretched, loosening up his stiff muscles, and then swaggered over to the remaining shelves.
"You can't do a thief halfway, you have to finish a good deed."
He chuckled and his mind moved again.
This time, there are no more concerns.
The storage ring hummed, and a powerful suction force swept out.
What about the remaining century-old medicinal herbs?
Receive!
Attribute crystals of slightly inferior quality but in large quantities?
Receive!
The fur, bones, and tendons of various monsters?
Don’t waste it, take them all!
Yun Chen even threw the "Green Dragon Sword" that Zhou Peng was still thinking about into the corner of the storage ring.
"Anyway, someone else will take the blame, so why not refuse it?"
He was like a rat that broke into a rice warehouse, leaving no grass behind wherever he passed.
Rows of shelves became empty at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the end, Yun Chen even felt it was a pity to throw away the jade boxes, wooden boxes, and even the thousand-year-old iron wood used to make the shelves used to hold the treasures. With a wave of his hand, he packed them all up and took them away.
After a while.
The Zhou family's treasure house, which was originally full of dazzling treasures and shining with precious light, became cleaner than a plate licked by a dog.
There was not a single hair left except the four walls and the bare ground.
After doing all this, Yun Chen clapped his hands, looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, and felt relaxed.
He turned around and swaggered out of the treasure house.
