The treasure vault of the Lord of the Second Immortal Court has been robbed.
The news spread like wildfire throughout the Nine Heavens Celestial Court in less than half an hour.
Even those within the Divine Court had heard of it.
Han Weixian felt ashamed to face anyone, yet he still held onto a glimmer of hope.
We hope that the higher-ups can intervene and help him recover the treasure.
That was his life's collection.
I felt so sorry for him.
Upon learning of this, the Lord of the Nine Heavens Immortal Court immediately summoned Han Weixian to inquire about what had happened.
But Han Weixian knew nothing when asked.
The master of the Nine Heavens Celestial Court had no choice but to summon the masters of the other Celestial Courts to go to the treasure vault together to investigate.
At first glance, the Ninefold Court Master's heart skipped a beat.
This lingering scent feels so familiar.
The other court officials also gasped in shock.
There have been thefts before, but never this thorough and clean.
Besides the four walls, even the corner plaster was gone.
That thief is really... stingy.
"Brother Han, have you offended someone?" the Triple Court Master couldn't help but ask.
The other court officials couldn't help but look at Han Weixian.
Han Weixian shook his head: "Aside from handling the affairs of the Celestial Court, I spend most of my time in seclusion cultivating and rarely have contact with outsiders."
Even if you wanted to offend them, you wouldn't have many opportunities.
"Didn't you sense anything when the treasure vault was stolen?" The Lord of the Nine Heavens asked, pursing his lips.
The Celestial Court's treasury and its ruler are interconnected.
How could they not notice that everything had been moved so cleanly?
This is illogical.
"No." Han Weixian shook his head again: "If I hadn't needed to retrieve something, I probably wouldn't have discovered the treasure vault had been stolen by now."
The Ninefold Court Master frowned and took something out of his own space.
It is a small red bell.
"Put this magical treasure into your treasury first," said the Nine Heavens General as he handed the red bell to Han Weixian.
"Yes." Han Weixian took it and stored the red bell in the treasure vault according to the procedure.
Then, the Lord of the Nine Heavens led everyone away from the treasure vault.
The next second, Han Weixian's treasure vault issued a warning, and Han Weixian immediately realized that the red bell had been stolen.
“It seems the treasure vault is fine.” The Nine-Tiered Court Commander took out the red bell.
That was her natal magical artifact, which she could summon at will.
It goes unnoticed by gods and ghosts.
"How could that be..." Han Weixian pursed his lips, a vague guess forming in his mind, but his voice was dry and grating.
Even when a God Emperor summons his natal artifact, the treasure vault can detect it.
And his treasure trove of items disappeared without anyone noticing.
That thief's cultivation level is definitely above that of a God Emperor.
A deity? A half-step celestial being? Or a celestial being?
He can't afford to offend anyone, no matter who it is.
He just couldn't understand it.
With so little stuff in his treasure trove, how could those adults possibly be interested in it?
In their eyes, what's the difference between their possessions and garbage?
Why did they steal it?
Could it be that there are some extraordinary treasures in my collection that I haven't noticed?
The Lord of the Nine Heavens stepped into the treasure vault again, and his eyes suddenly changed color.
His black pupils turned ice white.
This is her spiritual skill.
It allows us to go back in time.
However, it consumes a great deal of one's own energy.
Once it's used, you need to rest for at least six months.
She wouldn't use it lightly.
But that slightly familiar scent bothered her.
The icy white pupils slowly rotated.
She saw a stone hand suddenly appear from the void and then snatch away all the magical treasures in the treasury.
The vast treasure trove was emptied with a mere wave of the stone hand.
She didn't even see how it was operated.
Most importantly, that stone hand was exactly the same as the stone hand that stole the seeds from her.
The Ninefold Court Master took a deep breath, his icy white pupils turning once more.
The power of origin also surged forth once again without reservation.
They wanted to see what lay behind that stone hand.
The next second, the Ninefold Court Master let out a muffled groan and staggered back a few steps.
With her eyes tightly closed, two lines of bloody tears slowly flowed down her cheeks.
"Ninefold Court Lord, what's wrong?" Sixfold Court Lord exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly stepped forward to ask with concern.
"I was injured by the counterattack." The Ninefold Court Master closed his eyes and waved his hand: "I'm fine, I'll be fine after resting for a while."
In reality, a storm was raging inside him.
Before she was injured by the counterattack, she vaguely saw the scene behind the stone hand.
A small courtyard containing many innate divine objects.
The oppressive aura made her tremble uncontrollably.
"What did you see? Who retaliated?" Yae Tsubasa couldn't help but ask.
"It's terrifying, it can't be spoken of." The Lord of the Nine Heavens shook his head: "This matter ends here. You are not allowed to spread it around, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Yes." The other court officials all nodded.
"Lord Han, I will use my private treasury to partially compensate you for the spiritual treasures stolen from your treasury," Lord Jiuchong said again.
"Thank you very much, Lord of the Nine Heavens Court." Han Weixian hurriedly bowed and expressed his gratitude.
Although the compensation from the Ninefold Court Master certainly couldn't compare to his original collection.
But at least he has some magical treasures to rely on again.
"Everyone, disperse." After saying this, the figure of the Nine Heavens Court Master gradually faded and then disappeared.
The other court officials also bowed and took their leave.
Han Weixian sighed and went on to arrange the reincarnation of his trusted confidants.
After returning to the Celestial Court, the Lord of the Nine Heavens was about to go into seclusion to heal his injuries when he received a summons from the Lord of the Divine Court.
Not a moment's delay.
"Chi Ling greets the Lord of the Divine Court," the Lord of the Ninefold Court said respectfully.
"What happened to your eyes?" The Lord of the Divine Court looked up at Chi Ling and asked calmly.
"I suffered backlash from going back in time." Chi Ling didn't hide it; there was no need, nor did she have the ability.
"Oh?" The Divine Court Master maintained his indifferent tone.
"The treasure vault of the Lord of the Second Immortal Court was stolen. I went back in time to find out the identity of the thief, but the thief was so powerful that I was no match for him."
Chi Ling recounted the events in detail.
Even the pitch-black seed wasn't hidden; the process was simply altered.
"That seed was presented by the master of the Second Immortal Court."
"I sensed boundless vitality within the seed and was about to offer it to the God, but a stone hand snatched it away right before my eyes."
"Later, in the treasury of the Second Celestial Court, I sensed that familiar aura, which is why I traveled back in time."
"It was the stone hand that discovered the stolen treasure vault."
"It's a pity that my cultivation level is limited, so I can't see who is behind that stone hand, and I was even seriously injured by the backlash."
Chi Ling's words were half true and half false.
“A pitch-black seed, brimming with endless vitality…” The Lord of the Divine Court’s eyes flickered slightly.
“Yes.” Chi Ling nodded: “If the gods can refine it, our world might have a chance to become the leader of the three thousand worlds.”
