Chapter 931 Stole the Spirit Stones
“Really? In that case, then I can’t let you leave.”
After that, a smiling face appeared in front of the man with the golden mask.
Qin Haodong looked at this guy and said jokingly, “So ugly. No wonder all the people of the Ghost King Sect wear masks. Otherwise, you would hate your faces.”
“You…”
The man with the golden mask didn’t expect that Qin Haodong would suddenly appear in front of him again. He said grimly, “You have killed so many people from our Ghost King Sect. What else do you want?”
“Do you still need to ask? Of course, I’ll remove the source of the trouble.” Qin Haodong looked at him and said, “If you answer whatever I ask, maybe I will spare your life.”
“Don’t even think about it. Qin Haodong, Ghost King Sect will not let you go.”
As he spoke, a hint of madness flitted across the face of the man with the golden mask.
Just as Qin Haodong was about to lock this guy’s acupoints, a great sense of foreboding suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.
“Oh, no! This guy wants to self-destruct his Spirit!”
He had experienced Zhong Xiaodie’s Spirit self-destruction before, so he knew how powerful it was if a master at the stage of the Combination Realm detonated his Spirit. He quickly s.h.i.+fted and fled to a far distance.
When he reached a hundred meters away, there was another violent explosion behind him.
The man with the golden mask had reached the late stage of the Combination Realm. Although the power of his Spirit detonation was not as powerful as the weight of 40 kilograms of explosives, it was still very powerful. The huge airwave pushed Qin Haodong’s body dozens of meters away.
After Qin Haodong stood still, he looked back and saw that there was another deep pit with a depth of more than ten meters.
Fortunately, the effect of the Energy Explosion Pill had not worn off yet, so the body-protecting Genuine Qi was extremely strong at this moment. Otherwise, he would have been injured during the Spirit self-detonation just now.
Right in the midst of Golden Horse City, within a short span of one or two minutes, two powerful explosions occurred simultaneously. However, everything was calm and peaceful in Golden Horse City. The city guards did not react at all.
Qin Haodong sneered. “It seems that Xiahou Hongxiang is really cooperating with Ghost King Sect. Since you are in league with Ghost King Sect, I will make you pay some interest.”
Thinking of this, his figure quickly disappeared into the night sky. He flew toward the center of Golden Horse City.
In the Lord Mansion, Xiahou Hongxiang, Zhangsun Lan, and Jiang Bin were gazing in the direction of the courtyard. They all smiled knowingly.
Jiang Bin said, “General, Ghost King Sect actually went to such great lengths when it came to dealing with this boy.”
Xiahou Hongxiang said, “Right. This boy dares to provoke anyone. He has provoked Ghost King Sect, so he is destined to have a ‘good’ ending.
“That’s good. Ghost King Sect finally avenged the Xiahou Family.”
Zhangsun Lan gnashed her teeth and said, “It’s a pity that I couldn’t kill that boy myself.”
Just then, there was another explosion.
Xiahou Hongxiang said, “No matter who did it, he will still meet his death. Ghost King Sect created such a big impact. I guess that boy must have been blown into pieces.”
“General, you are right.” Jiang Bin asked, “What should we do now?”
Xiahou Hongxiang said, “Don’t worry. We’ll go there after the people of Ghost King Sect leave so as not to have a conflict with their people.”
Jiang Bin nodded, “It looks like we have underestimated Ghost King Sect in the past. They kept their powerful strength under wraps.”
Qin Haodong searched quickly in the night sky. Suddenly, he felt a sense of weakness. He knew that this was the side effect of the Great Energy Explosion Pill.
With a thought, he released the Three-legged Golden Toad from his Spirit Beast Pouch. He sat on the back of the Three-legged Golden Toad and continued searching in Golden Horse City.
With his current strength, he could not directly confront Xiahou Hongxiang, so what he was looking for now, was Xiahou Hongxiang’s vault. He would steal his money bag directly, which could be regarded as revenge for what Xiahou Hongxiang had done tonight.
Although he did not know where the vault of Golden Horse City was located, generally speaking, such a place must be heavily guarded. Moreover, it was not too far away from the Lord Mansion.
Soon, he focused on a courtyard in the southwest corner of the Lord Mansion. It did not appear to be very conspicuous but was heavily guarded. What’s more, he seemed to sense the fluctuation of formations there.
He was sure that this was the location of the vault of Golden Horse City.
He found a dark corner nearby and descended. He first put the Three-legged Golden Toad into the Spirit Beast Pouch. Then he took out the disguising medicine and quickly disguised himself as Jiang Bin.
At this time, the side effect of the Great Energy Explosion Pill had disappeared. His body was strong again. He rose into the air and flew quickly to the door of the vault.
“Stop! Who is it? We’ll shoot if you don’t stop!”
As expected, this place was heavily guarded. As soon as Qin Haodong appeared in front of the door, he was targeted by dozens of G.o.d-killing Arrows.
“Impudent! Do you want to rebel?” He roared angrily and landed in front of the vault.
…
“It’s General Jiang Bin! General, it’s so late. What are you doing here?”
The Supervisor of the vault immediately welcomed him with a smile on his face. He knew that Jiang Bin was Xiahou Hongxiang’s trusted subordinate and not someone they could afford to offend.
Qin Haodong said, “Don’t you know that such a big incident just happened in the city? General Xiahou ordered me to come and see how the defense is here. This is an important place, so we can’t give the rebels any opportunity to break into it.”
The Supervisor quickly said, “Don’t worry, General. We heard the sound of the explosions just now. Now our brothers are all ready to take action. Even a mosquito can’t fly in.”
Qin Haodong pretended to be satisfied and nodded. “You did a good job. Open the vault. I’ll go in and have a look.”
However, the Supervisor said hesitantly, “General, that’s a little inappropriate. According to General Xiahou’s rule, he is the only person who can enter the vault at will.”
“How dare you!” Qin Haodong said angrily, “Golden Horse City was attacked by Ghost King Sect. General Xiahou has already brought his people to capture them, so he asked me to check the vault.
“You are not allowing me in? If something happens, you will be beheaded even if you have a hundred heads!”
“Got it, General!”
The Supervisor trembled with fear. He dared not stop Qin Haodong anymore and took him to the vault.
Only when they arrived at the vault did Qin Haodong fully understand how strict the defense here was. After pa.s.sing through seven heavy iron doors and nine defensive formations, they entered the core part of the vault.
However, in front of Qin Haodong was a huge warehouse that was hundreds of square meters wide. There were all kinds of treasures, such as magic weapons, antiques and paintings, and so on. They were all good things that Xiahou Hongxiang had collected.
He did not carry these things with him, partly for safety. After all, people here used Storage Rings. Once his ring was lost, he would lose his family fortune. Therefore, he chose to put all these valuable stuff in a vault. This was a safer option.
For example, on earth, although we had computers, some files were still stored in archives. Most of the time, the more primitive method was safer.
Secondly, most of the items here belonged to Golden Horse City. They were the property of the Tortoise Kingdom, and not Xiahou Hongxiang. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, he couldn’t carry the things in the vault with him at all times.
Qin Haodong did not care about the other things. What he cared about most were Spirit Stones. As long as he could find millions of top-level Spirit Stones, he could break through to the final stage of the Voiding Realm.
As for the vault of Golden Horse City, almost half of it was filled to the brim with top-level Spirit Stones. From the looks of it, there were at least millions of them.
The Supervisor said, “General, everything here is intact. You can rest a.s.sured!”
Qin Haodong nodded and said, “You did a good job. I’ll return and report it to the General right away and ask him to reward you. Let’s go out.”
“Thank you, General Jiang!”
The Supervisor was immediately overjoyed. Jiang Bin was Xiahou Hongxiang’s trusted subordinate. As long as he put in a good word for him, he would definitely be rewarded.
He turned around happily. Just as he was about to leave, he felt a blow at the back of his head. He suddenly blacked out and lost consciousness.
Qin Haodong knocked out the Supervisor and turned to walk toward the warehouse filled with top-level Spirit Stones. A golden light shot out of his brain like a searchlight. The top-level Spirit Stones under the golden light were instantly collected and stored in the Seven Storeys PaG.o.da.
It only took him a few seconds to move all the top-level Spirit Stones from the warehouse into the paG.o.da.
Next, he stripped off the Supervisor’s clothes and disguised himself as the Supervisor. Then he hurried out of the vault.
After going out, two guards came forward and said, “Supervisor, where is General Jiang?”
Qin Haodong said, “He is checking the treasures in the vault. I need to go to the loo. You stay here and guard the place. I’ll be back soon.”
After that, he strode out of the door. He found a place where there was no one around and washed the disguising medicine off his face. Then he changed into a suit of clothes and flew toward the courtyard.
He had gained a lot during this trip to the vault, millions of top-level Spirit Stone. This put him in a very good mood.
As for the courtyard, after experiencing two consecutive explosions, the small yard was already in a complete mess.
Zhao Xingyue, the Little Witch, and the others rushed over as soon as they heard the sounds. However, they only saw dilapidated walls everywhere when they arrived. Occasionally, they could even see some bits of flesh.
The originally nice yard had been reduced to two pits now.
Seeing this, all the women became nervous. They began to search frantically for Qin Haodong.
Although they knew that Qin Haodong had the Seven Storeys PaG.o.da, they didn’t know about the unusual function of the paG.o.da. Thus, they were very worried.
“Little Brother, where are you?”
“Senior Brother, where are you? Come out quickly. Don’t scare us…”
“Big Brother Qin, how are you?”
As everyone searched fervently, Xiahou Hongxiang dashed in with his men.
After seeing how these women were so anxious, he felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart. It seemed that Qin Haodong had died.
However, he still had to pretend to be concerned. He went over to Princess Xingyue and said with concern, “Your Highness, are you okay? What happened here?”
After searching for a long time, there was no sign of Qin Haodong. Zhao Xingyue’s anger rose from the bottom of her heart. She looked at Xiahou Hongxiang and said angrily, “What happened here? I was about to ask you!
“As the General of Golden Horse City, didn’t you say that you would protect me? How could this happen so suddenly?”
Xiahou Hongxiang replied, “Your Highness, I also do not know what is going on. Golden Horse City has always been tightly guarded. This has never happened before.”
Zhao Xingyue said coldly, “Tightly guarded? Then let me ask you. It has been 30 minutes since the incident happened. Why did your men come so late?”
The more annoyed Zhao Xingyue was, the happier Xiahou Hongxiang felt. A fake look of fear and trepidation crossed his face and he said, “Your Highness, please forgive me. I’m old. I slept too soundly just now, so I came a little late.”
As a Princess who grew up in the palace, Zhao Xingyue knew very well about these intrigues. She knew that Xiahou Hongxiang must have come late on purpose. Otherwise, such huge explosions would even wake up the dead.
Just as she was about to flare up again, a few other girls ran back sadly.
The Little Witch choked with sobs and said, “Sister Xingyue, we still can’t find Little Brother. He may have been killed!”
