Chapter 1459: G.o.dly Thief Han Fei (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Last time, the faceless men’s attack on the Thousand Star City was destined to fail. The number of Venerables that appeared last time was far less than the number of Venerables that appeared in the war on the Scattered Stars Island.
This meant that there were still Venerables hiding in this huge city. As for their purpose, it was unknown.
One of the Venerables of the Zhang family had already died, and Zhang Zhihuo appeared afterwards. He was only a junior peak-level Venerable and wasn’t very strong. The person who could challenge Old Han and the others back then must be a high-level Venerable of the Zhang family.
In other words, the Zhang family had at least three Venerables before, and now they had at least two.
This was a big clan that had existed for thousands of years. The family was very wealthy, and there were many children in the clan, so there would always be Heavenly Talents born.
Han Fei returned to the Zhang family as Zhang Tao. After completely reading Zhang Tao’s life history and personality, Han Fei smiled.
Zhang Tao was a relatively more outstanding disciple of a collateral branch of the Zhang Family. Because he had obtained opportunities in the trial field, he distinguished himself among his peers.
However, even if he was a Heavenly Talent, he was from a collateral branch of the Zhang family and couldn’t catch much attention from the Zhang family. And it was very difficult for such a disciple from a collateral branch to enter the Zhang family’s treasure house.
Zhang Tao had only entered the Zhang family’s treasury twice when he was breaking through to be a Hanging Fisher and a Hidden Fisher, and he only took three things from it.
Han Fei saw the Zhang family’s treasure house from Zhang Tao’s memory, but then he licked the corner of his mouth. Sure enough, as a big clan that had been existing for thousands of years, the Zhang family was really rich. Although Zhang Tao couldn’t enter the depths of the treasure house, there were countless treasures as soon as he got in. Han Fei saw things like Trivariant Golden Ginseng, Semi-Divine weapons, battle suits, protective arts, heaven-level combat skills, and high-level energy fruits.
All things were good, but the big clans wouldn’t give too many resources to their disciples. Otherwise, if the disciples just relied on resources, wouldn’t they become wastes? So most people who went in could only take three things at most.
As for what the three things were, it depended on the entrant’s own choice.
…
The Zhang Family.
This family known as the richest family in the Thousand Star City was in the middle of Money Island, surrounded by eight mountains. On these mountains were the training grounds of the Zhang family’s juniors.
The area surrounded by mountains was the Zhang family’s main residence, covering an area of more than 500 kilometers. Further out were the Zhang family’s collateral branches. With a big river separating them, the main branch and the collateral branches were clearly separated and the latter couldn’t trespa.s.s.
At this moment, in the Zhang Family’s main residence.
The Zhang family’s head, Zhang Wanjin, looked at Zhang Tao who came back to report and frowned. “You said that the Enchantment Array broke your soul treasure? Then is your soul alright?”
Han Fei pretended to be respectful and hurriedly said, “Family Head, no. It’s just an array. No one is presiding over it. Or to be exact, I was blasted back before I even saw the host.”
Zhang Wanjin sat on a big chair and snorted. “Well! Okay, you’ve done your best. Go to the third level of the treasure house and find three… Well, for the sake of your soul treasure, find five things to take with you.”
Hearing this, Han Fei was excited and quickly said, “Thank you, Family Head…”
When Han Fei turned around, his eyes lit up. He thought to himself, This Deceit Technique is really good. With my current abilities, Zhang Wanjin is just a piece of cake to me.
Even if there was an advanced Venerable in the Zhang family, it was impossible for him to distinguish him.
After leaving the main residence, Han Fei went straight to the treasury. The Zhang family’s treasury was also known as the Zhang family’s paG.o.da. Only here did Han Fei discover, to his surprise, that the Linglong Tower was actually made by the Zhang family.
In each of the 36 towns, there was a Linglong Tower, but it was said that the Linglong Tower was established by a large chamber of commerce in the 36 towns.
He didn’t expect the source to be the Zhang family in the Thousand Star City.
However, unlike the normal Linglong Tower, the tower Han Fei saw was not exquisite at all. It was a black six-story octagonal tower structure. It didn’t look big at all. In theory, it shouldn’t be a treasure house of the Zhang family at all.
However, judging from its shape, Han Fei knew that there must be some secret in the tower, or at least some special s.p.a.ce.
Han Fei came to the bottom of the tower openly. When he entered the treasure house, an Explorer-level old man was drowsy and didn’t even respond to Han Fei when he saw him.
Han Fei quickly handed over his token. “Senior, the family head asked me to find five useful items.”
The old man seemed to be half asleep. He grunted and said, “On the left side of the door, pa.s.s two teleportation arrays in a row. Go find them yourself!”
“Yes, Senior.”
In the Zhang family, Zhang Tao, a junior from a collateral branch, certainly didn’t know the people guarding the treasure house. Therefore, it was natural for Han Fei to call him Senior.
Just as Han Fei was about to enter the door, he suddenly heard a crisp voice behind him. “Sixth Grandfather, I’m here to return the books I borrowed. Can I borrow a few more books by the way?”
The old man immediately grinned. “Oh, it’s Qiaoqiao! Of course. Pick whatever you want on the third floor. Don’t be so distant.”
The visitor was a pretty girl, and next to the girl were two boys of the same age who seemed to be here to escort her. Han Fei glanced at them and suddenly remembered that this girl seemed to be the little girl who went out of the Sea Quelling Painting. He didn’t expect her to grow up so big after decades.
As if seeing Han Fei’s gaze, a boy beside Zhang Qiaoqiao immediately shouted, “What are you looking at? As a disciple of a collateral branch, it must be difficult for you to have a chance to enter the treasure house, right? What are you waiting for?”
The old man named Sixth Grandpa also glanced at Han Fei indifferently. “You can go in now!”
Han Fei crossed his hands. “Yes!”
Zhang Qiaoqiao, on the other hand, didn’t feel anything. She glanced at Han Fei as if he were a stranger pa.s.sing by, without any change of mood.
When Han Fei entered the treasure house, he found himself in a huge storage room that had no end. To be precise, it looked more like a unique library or a collection hall.
There were wooden bookshelves here, on which there were various combat skills and secret techniques. There were also sealed pits with halos circulating, as if you needed to break through the layers of halos to get the things inside. There were also various tall and short booths, on which various items were s.h.i.+ning.
Han Fei swore that if Master Hexagon saw the treasure house, he wouldn’t be able to move at all.
Han Fei asked the old turtle in his heart, “Old Yuan, is there a Venerable in this tower? What’s his strength?”
Han Fei certainly didn’t believe that the Zhang family’s treasure house would be unguarded. How could such an important place not have a Venerable guarding it? As everyone knew, the Zhang family was the wealthiest family in the city. Without a strong master guarding it, how could they defend such a huge fortune?
The old turtle said, “Not on the lower floors, but there’s an independent building above the sixth level. The aura of a powerhouse is flowing out. I think the person is at least an advanced peak-level Venerable.”
Han Fei was slightly relieved. “That’s good.”
An advanced peak-level Venerable was already comparable to the Heavenly Sword Master, who was only one step away from the peak-level. He couldn’t defeat such an expert unless he had the power of a Half-King.
But Han Fei hadn’t become a Venerable yet, so he definitely didn’t have this ability. He could only think about how to rob the Zhang family’s treasure house.
With an advanced Venerable guarding the treasure house, there was indeed no need for others to guard it. Besides, this treasure house was in the Zhang family. There were other Venerables within a thousand kilometers, so there was naturally no need to worry about anyone robbing the Zhang family’s treasure house.
Shua!
Han Fei pa.s.sed two teleportation arrays and came directly to the third level of the treasure house. Unsurprisingly, this level of treasure house was specifically for Hidden Fishers.
Unlike the first floor, there were not many combat skills on this floor. Most of them were different kinds of weapons, from ultra-quality spiritual weapons to divine weapons, and even ultra-quality divine weapons. There were also various kinds of spiritual fruits, crystals, spiritual springs, Spirit Awakening Fluid, and sea demon corpses…
Han Fei didn’t intend to loot the entire treasure house now, which was meaningless. The things in front of him were useless to him. What he wanted was the seventh level of Void Fis.h.i.+ng.
This technique was his true pursuit. Once he obtained it, it would be more meaningful than looting the Zhang family’s treasury. Of course, it would be best if he could loot the Zhang family’s treasury by the way.
The floor for Hidden Fishers extended dozens of kilometers. Han Fei pretended to be walking around inside. He knew that someone was looking at him at this moment. If he took more than five pieces of treasure, the consequences would be disastrous.
However, in fact, Han Fei was just looking for an opportunity to use the Twin Divine Technique.
After half an hour, in a corner of the treasure house.
“Qiaoqiao, this Thousand Silk Technique is a heaven-level high-quality combat skill, which is most suitable for girls to practice. Ordinary Spiritual Heritage talents can’t practice it, but you are different. With a level-seven Spiritual Heritage, you can definitely practice it.”
“Qiaoqiao, there is a Ten Thousand Spirit Bead here. As a spirit gatherer, this thing can allow you to store spiritual energy and save spiritual energy for emergencies. This is a good thing.”
Two boys were trying their best to please the girl, but the girl didn’t seem to hear them at all. She walked forward quickly as if trying to get rid of them.
Suddenly, the girl saw that the man who came in with her was looking at a calligraphy painting circling on a square cabinet.
However, the calligraphy was blocked by a seal. Seeing that the person was staring at the calligraphy motionlessly, Zhang Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but be curious. She had seen this painting before. There shouldn’t be anything special about it, right?
Immediately, Zhang Qiaoqiao went straight over and asked, “This painting is just a killing array, a one-time use item. Do you want me to get it for you?”
Beside Zhang Qiaoqiao, a boy said, “Qiaoqiao, no bother. Let me do it!”
The other said, “Go away. Do you have the ability to take it? Let me take it.”
Han Fei tilted his head and glanced at her.. “This is not a killing array, but a visualization picture.”
