Chapter 94: Heaven defying treasure heist!
At this time, the sun had begun going down over the horizon. Several figures casted long shadows as they stood on top of a building nearby and monitored a certain mansion.
"Indeed, the aura that Clan Ancestor Zu spoke about is coming from that villa!" A young man that looked to be in his twenties said to his companions.
"It is really that aura! Does this mean that such a heaven defying treasure item realm exists??" A young woman by his side said with surprise.
"Whether it is true or not, there certainly is the aura of an expert coming from that place. We are just small fries of the Second Circle True Master realm, how do we defeat them??" The third person said. She was a young woman who looked to be about the same age as the first young man.
"We do not have to fight them face to face." The first guy shook his head. "We just need to breeze in, take the heaven defying treasure item, and breeze out. How hard can it be?"
"Right? All we need to do is to take the item. If the expert is of the Third Circle Greater Master realm, then the three of us could gang up and defeat them!" The second girl said.
"How hard could it be? Fools, what if the expert is of the Fourth Circle Pseudo Xian realm?" The third girl said coldly. Apparently, she was the only one who could reason.
They were of the Second Circle True Master realm and, were they to meet a Cultivator of the Fourth Circle Pseudo Xian realm, they would be squashed by the expert using only a finger!
Sure, in cultivation, 1+1 was not 2, it was 11. But this only applied within realms.
Yes, the three of them combining their strength, they would be would give them many times the strength of a Second Circle cultivator, but the disparity between realms was as wide as heaven and earth and could not be crossed by teamwork!
"Then we have that magical treasure Elder Wu gave us!" The first guy said.
"Yeah!" The second girl brought out a talisman and waved it. "With this, we would directly return to the clan once we suffer any injuries!"
"...." The third girl had a conflicted look on her face.
Earlier, their Clan Ancestor Zu had suddenly gotten agitated and came out of his secluded meditation for the first time in three hundred years. For most of them, the clan ancestor was a legendary figure who they had only heard stories about and this was their first time of seeing him.
The Clan Ancestor was the founder of the clan and his word was law, thus, as he spoke about some heaven defying treasure item that could make one unparalleled under the heavens, parents and elders pushed out several of their juniors in secret to go and seek out that cheat like heaven defying magical treasure item!
The purpose was to bring it back and give it to the Clan Ancestor in order to curry favor with him. This way, they would be acknowledged by the Clan Ancestor and gain many benefits!
She and her two companions were among those sent out to locate the treasure item. But, unlike the others, they managed to meet the Clan Ancestor taking a walk around the Pavilion by chance. Luckily, he was very amiable and even gave them an item that could locate the aura of the heaven defying treasure item. Then, their Elder Wu handed them each a talisman that would bring them back to the clan once they were in mortal danger.
But, she thought, after getting such a cheat like heaven defying treasure item, why should they have to bring it back to the clan??
Her companions noticed the look on his face and gave him puzzled looks. "Sister Zheng, do you need to use the bathroom?" The girl asked him with a raised brow.
"Maybe it’s a stomach ache. It was Elder Sister Zhuge who made lunch today and I spent the entire afternoon in the toilet!" The first guy said.
"....." Zheng An.
Second Circle True Master realm cultivators were capable of breaking iron with their fists and breaking concrete with their feet. What exactly did Elder Sister Zhuge put in the food that could make even a Second Circle True Master realm Cultivator spend time in the toilet?!
Wouldn’t mortals directly perish upon eating it?!
She shook his head and waved them off. "No, no. What I was thinking of... Bah! You guys don’t need to know."
Zheng An shook her head.
If she told them she believed that they should keep the treasure for themselves, were they to find it, they might not agree with her. She would then bring suspicion upon herself she could even get punished for being unfilial. At the worst case scenario, she might be directly cast out, even!
I’ll have to seize it for myself if we manage to get it...
Zheng An thought to herself. If she got the heaven defying magical treasure item and became unparalleled under the heavens, then neither the Feng Clan nor it’s Clan Ancestor could do anything to her!
This thought made her very happy...
"But we shall have to sneak in and locate the heaven defying treasure item first." Zheng An said to herself.
"Right!" The guy punched the air. "Apparently, this mansion belongs to some rich mortal surnamed Jiang. That rich guy is supposedly planning on hosting a cocktail party tonight."
"Yes, if we can infiltrate the party, we would be able to scout out the building." The second girl said with a smile.
"Hmm." Zheng An nodded her head. If they infiltrated the party as a guest, then they would not be able to wander as they pleased. "We will infiltrate the cocktail party as guests, then change identities with one of the staff. The main goal is just to wander about to the ends of the building and feel around using your mental energy. Do not think of doing anything!"
"Yes, Sister Zheng!" The other two nodded their heads in unison.
Their Sister Zheng was a genius, if she drafted a plan then it was sure to succeed!
The three swiftly descended the building to hang around and seek suitable guests to knock out and replace. As they left, Bai Ningxue’s figure came out of the shadows. "Hmm. That is the location of the expert who even teacher does not dare cross. Though, if these idiots actually manage to steal that heaven defying treasure item, all I have to do is to snatch it from them and give it to teacher so he can recover..."
Bai Ningxue smiled broadly. "I’ll also have to sneak into the cocktail party, then!"
