After signing the soul contract, Wutan instructed Ditian that if he had not appeared when the Jueyin ruins were opened, he should notify him using the Wanxiang Order.
This action immediately puzzled everyone.
However, when Wutan explained it clearly, they were relieved. It turned out that he wanted to find a place to concentrate on comprehending the Nine Palaces Killing Skill.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Wutan walked out of Wanbao Pavilion, found a deserted place, and entered the Star Realm.
The most peaceful and safe place is naturally the starry world.
When entering the starry world, Wutan was stunned, because the obsidian mountain had disappeared without a trace, leaving only two spirit veins lying on the ground, flashing brilliant light.
Moreover, after several years, the energy of the Star Realm has become frighteningly rich, no less intense than that of the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts.
The Sun and Moon Divine Plate floated above a spiritual vein. It had no aura and was dim and dull, just like an ordinary iron plate. It was not an extremely powerful imperial weapon at all.
"kindness?"
Wutan looked towards the other spiritual vein. The purple lightning grew stronger and stronger, as thick as a baby's arm and half a meter long. Arcs of electricity were emitting from it, and the power of heaven was becoming more and more obvious.
Facing this thing, Wutan felt like he was facing a real force of heavenly calamity. As long as he was attacked by it, he would be turned into ashes immediately.
"What is Xiao Wuhao's purpose in creating such a lightning force?"
Wutan frowned and looked around, but did not see any trace of Xiao Wuhao. He then looked up at the scorching sun, but his vision was blocked by the fiery red light and he could not see the scene inside clearly.
With a whoosh, Xiao Wuhao rushed out from the scorching sun and landed in front of Wu Tian. He frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Comprehend the restriction." Wu Tian simply responded, and then asked doubtfully: "Have the Heavenly God's Right Hand and Heavenly God's Left Hand been repaired?"
Xiao Wuhao rolled his eyes: "You think it's a spiritual weapon, and you say it can be refined immediately, but it's a broken holy weapon. If you want to repair it, it will take at least ten or eight years. Don't even think about it."
"It takes so long?" Wutan frowned when he heard that.
Xiao Wuhao laughed and said jokingly, "Look at your silly look, I was just lying to you, don't worry! Within three months, I will give you two imperial weapons. I have to say, you are lucky this time."
"What good fortune?"
Xiao Wuhao said: "After these two broken gloves are repaired, each of them can exert the power of an imperial weapon, which is not inferior to the Sun and Moon Divine Disks, and they can also be combined into one. After the two are combined into one, the power can increase several times. According to my estimation, if they are all revived, a breath of holy weapons may be born."
"So strong, that means he is almost invincible among the imperial soldiers," Wutan was surprised.
"Of course, don't you see who repaired it?" Xiao Wuhao was very proud and looked very advanced, which made Wutan speechless.
As if remembering something, Wu Tian asked anxiously: "After refining the Palace Master's Yuan Shen, have you recovered some of your memory?"
"No," Xiao Wuhao shook his head, and when he saw the instant disappointment on Wutan's face, he added: "But I have a feeling that you may find some clues on this trip to the Jueyin ruins."
"Are you serious?!"
“Do you take it seriously? I told you, this is just my hunch. You’re so stupid and adorable.” Little Wuhao looked at Wutan as if he was an idiot, then shook his head, turned into a divine rainbow, and merged into the scorching sun.
Despite this, a fire of hope ignited in Wutan's heart. The Jueyin ruins are known as the cemetery of ancient gods and contain many secrets. Perhaps with some luck, he could really get a glimpse of them.
In fact, he is not greedy. He will be satisfied as long as he can find a little clue about his parents.
Looking at the sky, he was silent for a while, then he sat down on the spot, took out the Nine Palaces Killing Talisman, immersed his whole mind in it, and began to comprehend and study it.
Time passed slowly, the sky outside had darkened, a bright moon gradually rose into the sky, and the white moonlight spread down, illuminating the boundless earth.
The auction at Wanbao Pavilion had already ended, and Han Tian and others returned to their base and entered a state of cultivation.
"What, no trace of Wu Tian was found?"
Inside the Wuhou Hall, Wu Hou sat on a throne made of gold, looking down at a man in red below him. From the sound of his voice, he seemed very displeased.
"That's right. After the auction ended, I only saw other people, but not Wu Tian. Then I went to the garrison, but still didn't find any trace of him, so I didn't take any action for the time being."
When facing Wu Hou, this person was not as respectful as the man in black armor. Instead, he looked a bit contemptuous.
"It doesn't matter. He can't run away. He will go to the garrison sooner or later. You should know what to do then! Also, if you have the chance, kill him first!"
"Know."
The man in red responded indifferently, without any greeting, turned around and left in a swagger. Wu Hou did not get angry at all, but fell into deep thought alone.
I don’t know how long it took, but the man in black armor ran in hurriedly, his face full of panic. His voice arrived before he did.
"My Lord, something terrible has happened..."
"Why are you so flustered?" Wu Hou looked up, then lowered his head again, frowning slightly, as if he was worried about something.
With a "thump", the black-armored man knelt on the ground and muttered, "My Lord, the treasure house has been stolen!"
"Yeah?"
Wu Hou didn't take it seriously at first and continued to think about things, but the next moment he suddenly woke up and stood up. He didn't dare to believe what the black-armored man said, and asked again: "What did you say?"
The man in black armor wiped his sweat and said truthfully: "Just now a brother came to report that the treasure house was stolen. I didn't believe it at first, but when I went to check the treasure house, I found it was empty. There was nothing left."
Upon hearing this, Wu Hou was struck by lightning. His body trembled violently, he staggered and almost fell down.
"The treasure house was stolen..." His mind was blank. Only these words kept lingering in his ears, telling him an unbelievable fact.
About half a quarter of an hour later, Wu Hou reluctantly accepted this fact, and the anger in his heart, at this moment, erupted like a volcano.
"ah… "
He let out a long roar that resounded through the clouds. All the residents around were awakened from their sleep and wondered what had happened to Wu Hou. Why was he roaring like a wild beast in the middle of the night
This long howl lasted for dozens of breaths before it stopped. Wu Hou's face flushed, as if he had finished venting his anger. He sat back in his chair, looked down at the man in black armor, and said in a deep voice: "Have you found out who did it?"
The man in black armor shook his head and said, "No, I have interrogated the people guarding the treasury. During their tenure, they never left the house. I didn't see any suspicious people appear. Moreover, I searched the treasury but didn't find any clues."
"So what you mean is that we don't even know when the treasure house was stolen?"
Hearing the cold voice, the man in black armor trembled slightly, and suddenly, he was covered in cold sweat, soaking his underwear.
"I don't know," the man in black armor shook his head and said hurriedly: "When I went to check a few days ago, everything was fine, so I inferred that this incident happened in the past few days."
"Recently… "
Figures flashed through Wu Hou's mind one by one, but he eliminated them all.
As for Wutan and others, he didn't even think about them, because these people didn't know the location of the treasure house at all. Even if they knew, he didn't believe that they had the ability to sneak in quietly.
"Go and investigate. Even if you have to turn Fengyang City upside down, you must find this man for me. As for those useless people who can't even guard a treasure vault, there's no point in keeping them. Kill them all. Also, send more people to guard the other treasure vaults. If anything goes wrong again, you know the consequences," Wu Hou issued orders one after another.
"Yes, sir!" the man in black armor responded respectfully.
"Go down!"
Wu Hou rubbed his forehead and waved his hands. He was extremely upset. He felt that his luck had been unlucky during this period and all kinds of troubles came to him.
His two precious sons were killed and his hatred has not yet been avenged, and now the treasure house has been robbed. If he had not been more careful and built a few more treasure houses before, he would have been in dire straits this time.
…
The news that the treasure house of Wuhou Mansion was stolen quickly spread throughout Fengyang City.
By dawn, everyone knew about it.
In the restaurants, teahouses and other crowded places in Fengyang City, people were discussing this question: who was so bold as to steal the treasure house of Wu Hou and leave nothing behind
Wu Hou is the most powerful person in the Great Confucian Dynasty, except for His Majesty the Emperor. If he just stomps his feet, Fengyang City will shake three times. Moreover, he is extremely powerful, but others dare to cause trouble in his mansion. This thief is too lawless!
Isn’t he afraid of being discovered by Wu Hou, having his skin peeled off, his tendons pulled out, and his life a living hell
At the same time, they were filled with envy. They believed that Wu Hou's treasure house must contain many treasures. If they could just get a few of them, they might be enough to last them a lifetime.
All of Wu Hou's men were mobilized to search for the thief everywhere, and the whole city was in an uproar. Many people were waiting to see if this thief had three heads and six arms.
To be able to do such a "harmful and evil" thing, this thief must be no ordinary person.
Even the Emperor was alarmed and went to Wuhou's mansion in person to inquire about the details. He sent guards from the palace to assist Wuhou in capturing the thief and even issued a wanted order.
Han Tian and others naturally also learned the news.
The image of the little guy immediately appeared in their minds. Perhaps only this shameless guy could do such a thing!
"What a troublesome guy," everyone thought.
However, everyone knew it tacitly, and as usual, Han Tian and Di Tian went to Wanbao Pavilion early.
This time, the main purpose of going there was to buy some items such as spiritual weapons for other disciples to increase their overall strength.
However, Ye Tian, Li Tian and others did not go. The Jueyin ruins were about to open, so everyone had to conserve their energy and get into the best condition to deal with the upcoming dangers.
