Chapter 1227 The Instigator

"The spiritual fruit is lost?" Lu Yang asked.

Ji Zhong nodded.

Why do things happen one after another in the middle of the night? Not only did we catch a group of robbers, but now we have a theft case?

We are here to catch ghosts, where are the ghosts?

Normally, a statement should be taken after receiving the report, but considering that taking a statement now would waste time and might allow the thief to escape, we can only take a statement after catching the thief.

"Tell me what happened. When do you think it was lost?"

"I was bumped into before I came to the hotel..." Ji Zhong expressed his guess.

After listening to this, Lu Yang and the other two had a general understanding of the case and stood up to pack their things.

"Okay then, wait here and we'll go catch him."

Ji Zhong opened his mouth and looked at the room full of Tianjiao who were tied up by Meng Jingzhou, and was extremely scared.

With Meng Jingzhou around, these people dared not do anything, but if Lu Yang and the other two were powerful, they would not be able to trap these geniuses just by tying them up.

Lu Yang saw Ji Zhong's concerns, glanced at these geniuses, and ordered in a cold voice: "No one is allowed to move."

Invisible rules were established, and these geniuses felt that they were bound by something other than ropes, and no matter how hard they tried to mobilize their strength, they could not move at all.

They were panicked, as they had only encountered this kind of power when facing their senior teachers.

This is the power of [rules]!

Being able to set up rules to suppress them so casually, this power is more terrifying than their elders! Who are these two constables? Isn't it said that the powerful likes to pretend to be street beggars? Why are they pretending to be constables now?

Lu Yang and the other person jumped out of the window and flew over Quyi County. At the same time, they opened their spiritual sense to cover the entire county, searching for suspicious cultivators.

The two of them locked onto a figure that had completely blended into the darkness and was walking leisurely on the street. Several monks passed by him without noticing this figure, which showed how far he had cultivated the art of concealment.

“Found it!”

The figure was still walking slowly on the street, humming a song and tossing spiritual fruits around. Even when he saw two patrolling detectives not far away, he didn't care.

Just as he passed by two constables, the two constables attacked at the same time and pinned him to the ground and subdued him.

"Y-You can see me?!"

The figure was shocked. This was impossible! "A Nascent Soul Stage person can steal things from the Spiritual Stage? That's quite a skill." Lu Yang said teasingly.

It is impossible that Ji Zhong's ability to obtain the spiritual fruit in the Siku Secret Realm was entirely due to luck. His skills were among the best in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

But this little thief was only in the Nascent Soul stage yet he was able to steal Ji Zhong's things, which shows how skilled he is.

Must be strictly supervised.

Meng Jingzhou snatched the spiritual fruit away, and frightened the little thief so much that he dared not speak.

He is proficient in the art of space and can move to other places instantly, but when he secretly activated the art of space, he found that the surrounding space was completely confined and he couldn't escape at all! This is not intentional to confine the space, it's because they are too powerful, so they accidentally distorted the space! Didn't I check the almanac before going out? Where did these two great gods come from?

"You have no morals and only know how to steal things." After checking that the spiritual fruit was real, Meng Jingzhou knocked the thief on the head.

"What's your name?"

"Fang Ning, my Lords, this is really the first time I made a mistake. Please forgive me. I will never dare to do it again!" Fang Ning started to cry as he spoke, his tears streaming down his face, which was very touching.

Lu Yang and the other man were unmoved. It would be fine if he lied to others, but he lied to them. His crying was too fake.

Moreover, he has mastered the art of stealing to such a high level at the Nascent Soul stage, so it is obvious that this is not his first crime.

Considering his skills, it would be difficult for the local police to catch Fang Ning if he committed a crime.

"search."

Meng Jingzhou grabbed Fang Ning's wrist while Lu Yang searched her body. He soon found a storage ring that looked very expensive judging by its style.

"Is this the storage ring you stole?"

"No, this is my storage ring."

"Then open it."

Fang Ning was hesitant, and Lu Yang came to a conclusion when he saw this. It was indeed the storage ring that Fang Ning stole.

It has been several days since Fang Ning stole the storage ring, but the seal attached to the storage ring was too complicated and he couldn't open it at all. These days he has been studying how to open the storage ring.

"The seal is quite complicated." Lu Yang exclaimed in admiration, and casually sent out a sword energy to forcibly break the seal of the storage ring.

Lu Yang took out the things in the storage ring. There were only a few items. It seemed that the owner of the storage ring did not use it often.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

There was a book in the storage ring that caught Lu Yang's attention: "Biography of Officials?"

Although I don’t know what is written inside, judging from the name, it has nothing to do with Fang Ning.

"Where is your ID?" Lu Yang now suspected that the name Fang Ning was fake.

"I didn't bring it." Fang Ning said honestly.

"Where is it? Take us there."

"In Yunzhou." Fang Ning deliberately said a place that was far away.

Lu Yang was unmoved: "It's okay, we can go on a business trip."

Fang Ning wanted to cry but had no tears. This was the first time he had fallen flat on his face.

A steady voice came from the end of the street, and a middle-aged man in a black robe and a black hat walked towards this side.

"Haha, I am only trying to complete my test. Can you two, for my sake, let me go this time?"

"Master!" Fang Ning shouted excitedly, very moved. It turned out that when he completed the test, the master had been watching in secret? After the middle-aged man appeared, the air around him seemed to solidify. The aura he exuded was like that of an ancient beast, extremely terrifying, chilling, and blood coagulated.

"Instigating theft is still justified, arrest him!"

Lu Yang and the other two attacked at the same time, frightening the middle-aged man so much that he withdrew his breath and dodged quickly. Why did they fight over a disagreement? We are all in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, can't we sit down and have a good chat? Just as Lu Yang and the other two were about to touch the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man instantly appeared ten feet away.

"The art of space? No, it's simply a very fast movement speed." Lu Yang raised his eyebrows. It is rare to have such a fast movement speed in the Tribulation Period. This speed may be comparable to that of the ancestor of the Kunpeng clan, the Black Feather Venerable.

The middle-aged man was secretly surprised. Normally, people who fought with him for the first time would mistake his speed for space magic. Who were these two people and how could they see through this at a glance?

Of course Lu Yang and the others could see through it. Master Hanhai often displayed the prototype of the Space Dao Fruit in front of them, so they were very familiar with the Space Art.

"Few people in the human race can reach this speed during the Tribulation Crossing period. Are you the Thief Ancestor?"

"No, Dao Zu only has one leg, so no one can refute his claim that he is the fastest in the world."

"So you are the King of Thieves!"

"Ah? Master, you are the King of Thieves?" Fang Ning was shocked. The master never revealed his true identity.

The middle-aged man remained silent, but after just one attack, the other party almost exposed his true colors.
