Chapter 98

The last door of the treasure vault opened with a rumbling sound. Standing at the entrance of the vault, Xiao Tianan's head felt as if it were about to explode.

What lay before him was an empty expanse. The vast treasure vault, nearly ten thousand square meters in size, was so empty that every corner could be seen clearly. All the medicinal herbs, treasures, crystals, and jade, even the profound techniques and skills of the sect, which had accumulated over a thousand years, had vanished completely, as if swept away by a hurricane, leaving not a single hair behind.

Xiao Tianan's body swayed violently. Even as the head of a sect, with a mind as tough as steel, he almost went mad on the spot.

"What's going on... What's going on!! What happened here!! Where are the things? Where did they go? Where did they go!!" Xiao Tianan grabbed Xiao Baicao, roaring like a furious lion.

"I... I don't know... I don't know!" Xiao Baicao shook his head frantically, his face filled with terror. When he arrived and opened the door to the treasure vault, he was so shocked that he fell to the ground, and even now, his body was still convulsing, his mind in a state of panic. The contents of this treasure vault were the foundation of the entire branch, the lifeline of the sect!

"I... I just asked the guard. Today, only Huangfu He came, and he stayed inside for two hours!"

"Huangfu... He?" Xiao Tianan was stunned, then shook his head with a pale face: "Impossible... It can't be him. He is the Evil Heart Holy Hand, how could it be him..."

In recent days, Yun Che's reputation as the "Evil Heart Holy Hand" and his unparalleled medical skills had made them almost worship him as a god. His acting was so convincing that even in the face of such a scene, Xiao Tianan still subconsciously did not suspect him... because how could a world-renowned divine doctor care about the things of a small sect, and there was no reason for him to do such a thing.

Moreover, his mystic power was only at the Mystic Realm, and he did not have a spatial ring... even the highest-grade purple spatial ring only had a few hundred cubic meters of space, how could it possibly move all the contents of this entire treasure vault.

"Master, over there... there seems to be something written on the wall." Xiao Baicao widened his eyes and pointed to the front wall.

Xiao Tianan's gaze swept over, and three lines of neatly written large characters appeared in his eyes.

Old man Xiao Tianan, I won't be polite and will take the things you and my grandson Xiao Luocheng offered. Since you chose to provoke me, you must pay a sufficient price. However, since you have served me well these past two days, I will tell you two secrets. The first: My poor grandson Xiao Luocheng is really finished, even if the real Huangfu He came, he couldn't save him. The second: That Wang Xu Long Dan is fake. Hahahaha...

Below the three lines, a large name was signed.

Lord Yun Che!!

Indeed, Yun Che signed his name directly. In fact, if he hadn't left his name, Xiao Tianan would never have associated it with him. But he did leave it... this was a kind of arrogance, a kind of confidence and pride, and a kind of humiliation. I want you to know who made you suffer such a fate! I want you to know who you offended! I'm not afraid of your revenge! Want to take revenge? Go ahead!

Xiao Tianan's body shook violently, his face turned deathly pale, and in a fit of anger, a surge of blood rushed to his mouth, spewing out, and he fell backward.

A thousand years of the sect's foundation lost in one night, who could bear such a blow?

"Master!"

Xiao Baicao cried out in sorrow, hurriedly supporting the fallen Xiao Tianan. Xiao Tianan did not faint on the spot, but his face was already devoid of color, his eyes unfocused, and he muttered hoarsely: "Impossible... Impossible... Impossible..."

He had never seen Yun Che's face, but he knew he was just a sixteen-year-old boy. No matter how he tried, he could not associate a sixteen-year-old boy with the divine doctor who had stayed in the sect for three or four days. That unparalleled medical skill and insight, that transcendent demeanor, how could a sixteen-year-old boy possess them?

If it were a disguise, a weak Mystic Realm disguise, how could he, a powerful Earth Mystic Realm expert, not see through it?

He could not understand how Yun Che managed to move all the contents of the vast treasure vault.

The foundation of the family for a thousand years was suddenly stripped away, and this blow completely shattered his psychological defenses, leaving him in a nightmare, unable to believe that this was real, his mind fixated on three words: Impossible... Impossible... Impossible...

"Yun Che... is he the one who injured the young master?" Xiao Baicao supported Xiao Tianan's body, gritting his teeth: "Master, calm down! What we need most now is to stay calm! That Huangfu He is very likely to be Yun Che in disguise. He has been plotting for so many days to take revenge on us. However, he shouldn't have gone too far yet. At this time, he should have just left the sect, and he wouldn't expect us to enter the treasure vault so soon. Since he is with He, immediately use the sound transmission talisman to notify He, and have him catch Yun Che! The contents of the treasure vault can then be recovered."

Xiao Baicao's words woke Xiao Tianan from his daze. He quickly took out a sound transmission talisman and locked onto Xiao Zaihe's sound transmission mark...

---

As Xiao Baicao predicted, Yun Che and Xiao Zaihe had indeed not gone far from the sect. However, here, Yun Che stopped and said calmly to Xiao Zaihe: "That's enough, no need to see me off. Just wait here. I'll go to the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce on my own."

Xiao Zaihe was taken aback and said in confusion: "But, the journey to the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce is still a long way, and the master has repeatedly instructed me to protect the safety of the senior..."

"Hmph!" Yun Che snorted impatiently: "Before going to the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, I have some private matters to attend to. I don't need anyone to follow me. Just wait here."

Seeing the "divine doctor" show displeasure, Xiao Zaihe's heart skipped a beat, and he dared not insist, quickly saying: "Since it is the senior's command, I... I will wait here."

At this moment, he felt a faint force fluctuation from his sound transmission stone.

To achieve long-distance communication, a sound transmission talisman is needed each time. The talisman contains a small sound transmission array, so even the lowest-grade talisman, which can transmit sound within ten miles, is extremely expensive. A high-grade talisman that can transmit sound over a thousand miles is astronomically expensive. Therefore, unless it is something very important, one would not waste a sound transmission talisman.

Xiao Zaihe quickly took out the sound transmission jade, and instantly, the roar of Xiao Tianan entered his mind, making him pale with shock, and he shouted in surprise: "What!?"

Originally, according to Yun Che's plan, this retaliation and plundering action against the Xiao Sect branch should have been flawless and foolproof. The early and middle stages went smoothly. According to his plan, today was the final day... to have a less important person from the Xiao Sect see him off, then find an excuse to leave alone, and then escape, making the Xiao Sect unable to find him. After that, he would spread the news that the Xiao Sect had obtained a Wang Xu Long Dan, which would stir up the entire region, and countless people would come to covet the Wang Xu Long Dan, plunging the entire sect into turmoil and constant unrest, leaving them no time to seek revenge on him.

But, no matter how smart a person is, they cannot clearly predict what someone else will do next. For example, Yun Che did not expect that after leaving for such a short time, Xiao Tianan would suddenly think of a small matter and send Xiao Baicao to the treasure vault...

When Xiao Zaihe took out the sound transmission stone, Yun Che frowned, sensing something was wrong. When he saw Xiao Zaihe's face and eyes change dramatically, he knew that the matter of the treasure vault had been exposed prematurely... frowning, he cursed in his heart: Damn! This is not scientific! How could it be so fast! It should have been discovered tomorrow!

Yun Che did not run immediately but walked forward steadily, hoping it was just his imagination and that Xiao Zaihe's reaction was due to something else. But luck did not favor him, and a bone-chilling killing intent suddenly came from behind.

"Yun Che... it's you, you little bastard! Give me your life!!"

Yun Che paused, then without hesitation, dashed forward at full speed.

Although Xiao Zaihe had already shouted, he was still very uneasy, unable to associate the divine doctor before him with Yun Che. But Yun Che's mad dash immediately dispelled any doubts, and he pursued with a killing intent, like a raging wind.

"Jasmine, what is this person's cultivation level?"

"First level of the Spirit Mystic Realm."

"~!@#￥%…… What do you think my chances of escaping from him are?"

"You are two major realms apart. If I don't intervene, your chances of escaping are zero! If I intervene, he will die, but even if you use all your blood, I have a ninety percent chance of dying!" Jasmine said in a low voice.

"..."

Yun Che mentally cursed Xiao Tianan's ancestors... You just got the "Wang Xu Long Dan," why didn't you play with it and study it with Xiao Baicao, but rushed to the treasure vault!

"Little bastard, where do you think you're running!!"

The sinister voice of Xiao Zaihe came from behind. With his Spirit Mystic Realm cultivation, catching up to Yun Che, who was at the Mystic Realm, was easy.
