Chapter 420 The Divine Thief (1)

e failed to respect this ultimate powerhouse and even insulted him. This incident has long been forgotten. If it weren't for such events happening today, no one would remember such a person or such an...Chapter 420 Divine Thief 1

How could I be so lucky A tomb raider appeared in the Fang family, and now a divine thief who is number one under heaven has emerged here!

Xiaoyao finally understood that he had once again become someone else's scapegoat. It was obvious that this time it must have been the announcement of the divine thief who ranks first under heaven; unfortunately, I just happened to stumble upon his trap.

Today, I could have accomplished my goal smoothly, but now there seems little chance of doing so. Forget about it then! The things left for later are those that interest me least anyway, and if they’re gone, so be it!

This damned divine thief who ranks first under heaven—why didn't you come a day later or just not announce anything at all Is this fun to you

"You won’t speak up Then I’ll resort to force!" Wu Xuan Wenyuan said coldly.

“Wait!” Xiaoyao called out, but his voice sounded different from before; it no longer seemed like his own voice!

This was the voice he had deliberately changed. Otherwise, if there were a chance of meeting this Wu Xuan Wenyuan later, then that voice would have given him away; Wu Xuan Wenyuan was such an important person that as soon as he heard something once, he would remember it.

"I want to say that I’m actually not the divine thief who ranks first under heaven!" Xiaoyao said.

“Indeed. You’re no longer one, after all, how could a divine thief who ranks first under heaven be caught by people However, falling into my hands doesn’t make it too much of an injustice for you,” Wu Xuan Wenyuan said.

"Actually, your performance has exceeded what I had expected. Originally, I thought that even if I couldn't stop you, at least I would have discovered you; yet when you appeared here, there was still no information about it outside. I’m very curious as to how you managed to pass through so many eyes and ears," Wu Xuan Wenyuan continued while looking at Xiaoyao in the hope that he could give him an explanation.

Xiaoyao thought back—seemingly only now did he realize that there were indeed more people outside, also much more vigilant than before. Compared to before, this level of vigilance was indeed a lot higher.

However, this kind of enhancement didn’t cause Xiaoyao any trouble at all; it merely made him spend a bit more time on the task. Sadly though, Xiaoyao felt no difference in that extra time spent.

"Actually, it's very simple: hiding my aura and speeding up," Xiaoyao casually replied as he was thinking about how to handle this situation now.

“Even if you hide your presence or speed up, won't the guards at the door see you”

"This is a secret that I can’t tell you!" Xiaoyao replied. If I tell you, how will I get by in the future Besides, even if I did tell you, would you understand

The middle of this process involves not only drug applications, but also changes in light, human blind spots, occult arts, mechanical devices, and body techniques—too many things are involved. Each one requires half a day to explain, which is very troublesome, moreover, even if someone understands one type of explanation, they won’t understand another.

In any case, whether explained or not, it’s the same—the truth can’t be understood!

Perhaps only Wang Yan Yu in this world would understand. Others couldn't possibly… “Then leave this secret as well!” Wu Xuan Wenyuan said coldly before making a move; his speed was like lightning and electricity—this is Saint rank speed, which Xiaoyao could not match.

However, if you can predict their actions and movements, then it’s possible to dodge them. Although this may only be temporary, at least it’s not impossible to avoid.

Xiaoyao sidestepped and avoided Wu Xuan Wenyuan's attack; Wu Xuan Wenyuan didn’t seem too surprised by this—he had already decided that Xiaoyao was the divine thief who ranks first under heaven, so if he could dodge him, it wouldn’t be surprising.

Wu Xuan Wenyuan’s goal was simply to occupy the position of the door; here there is only one exit—the door—which seals off Xiaoyao's escape route. By approaching Xiaoyao from this direction, he could take Xiaoyao down.

However, what Wu Xuan Wenyuan hadn’t expected was that Xiaoyao wasn't trying to escape but rather approach something in the same direction as his own advance.

Just as Wu Xuan Wenyuan made a move, Xiaoyao casually picked up an item and held it in front… “…” Wu Xuan Wenyuan immediately stopped and didn’t take another step forward. He just stared at the object Xiaoyao was holding.

"Put down the thing!" Wu Xuan Wenyuan said deeply.

“This item is very precious, isn't it I'll hold onto it for a while to absorb some of its aura,” Xiaoyao not only didn’t put down what he was holding but also picked up another one. “Besides this.”

"What do you want to do" Wu Xuan Wenyuan asked coldly.

“I don't really intend to do anything, just step out of the door! Or else I’ll destroy what’s in my hand…” Xiaoyao said with a smile.

The things here were all treasures of the Wu Xuan family; they would be heartbroken if even one item was missing. Not to mention that what Xiaoyao had in his hands were two extremely important items.

This is also due to Wu Xu's overconfidence. He should have put away these items and secured them, which would have prevented the current situation where Xiao Yao uses treasures as leverage against him.

We can't blame him though. Firstly, he believed that putting away the items would make people think his family is afraid of others. Originally, he didn’t believe anyone could enter with such heavy defenses in place; hence there was no need to put away anything.

Secondly, he never imagined that the world's number one thief would use this item as leverage against him. Generally speaking, under these circumstances, people wouldn’t think of using these items to threaten the Wu Xu family since they are just inanimate objects.

Only now does Wu Xu suddenly understand that sometimes such inanimate objects can be more effective as leverage. Otherwise, why would there even be a phrase like 'fearing the mouse and fearing the vase'

The only way out of here is this door!

"Master, this…" When people outside see Wu Xu coming out, seeing his expression, they understand that something must have happened inside. Someone might have entered.

How could this be possible I was guarding the door the whole time; how did someone enter without me knowing

"Ding!" Xiao Yao closed and locked the door from the inside because sometimes people work in this secret vault, so it can also be locked.

"I've placed the items at the door and brought some more. Don't force your way in or you'll know the consequences yourself!" A voice came from within, making Wu Xu clench his teeth with anger. The thing he wants to do most right now is kill this detestable "world's number one thief."

The whole situation made Wu Xu very depressed. Before, even if it was inconceivable, he had managed to catch the "world's number one thief," but due to his own mistakes, such a result occurred—being occupied by the other party in this secret vault. Although the other side can't escape, the feeling is still very unpleasant.

"Master, how did he get inside Could he have escaped" A guard asked Wu Xu.

"He couldn’t escape; all four sides of this secret vault are constructed with the hardest Cyan Firmament Stone. Any tool cannot break it! Moreover, its thickness is more than ten feet; even if you could chisel through, it would take decades." Wu Xu said. If the Wu Xu Family’s secret vault didn't have such an arrangement, that would be strange.

Not only was this secret vault made of Cyan Firmament Stone, but also its single exit—the door—was cast with thousand-year-old cold iron. The door frame is deeply embedded in the Cyan Firmament Stone and the thickness of the door itself is more than three inches, all made of thousand-year-old cold iron!

Just this door alone would be worth a fortune; the thousand-year-old cold iron was an excellent material for forging weapons.

"Then how did he get inside" The guard asked in disbelief. Since there's no way to chisel out, Xiao Yao could only have entered through the door. But why didn't I see him enter

Wu Xu shook his head and said helplessly, "I don’t know how he got in; I just know that he came in from this door."

"Then what should we do now" The guard asked again.

"Spread the word to surround here and wait," Wu Xu responded helplessly. Surrounding it seemed unnecessary to him since there's no way for anyone inside to escape through any other means than this door, which he was watching over without issue.

Surrounding it was merely a precautionary measure.

After doing these things, Wu Xu could only wait. He believed that Xiao Yao would come out soon since there's nothing to eat or drink inside and it’s impossible for him to last long.

I believe he will understand this point and quickly propose another condition again. Actually, being mistaken as the world’s number one thief isn’t a problem at all now, even if I am angry with Xiao Yao right now, once calm down there won't be anything left.

If Xiao Yao wants to leave, I would agree too because in my heart, this so-called world's number one thief hasn’t done anything outrageous; it’s just a competition. Losing means admitting defeat, but the current situation isn’t considered losing since we caught this "world’s number one thief."

So if Xiao Yao comes out to negotiate, he should be able to leave easily!

However, Xiao Yao doesn't plan on coming out to negotiate because now that he's discovered and with the current environment, it’s a perfect time to finish reading the rest of the books.

If Wu Xu knew what Xiao Yao was thinking right now, he would be even more depressed. All of us are still wondering what could be happening inside, but you take this seriously as a library and read books!

No one would expect that someone trapped in a secret vault would calmly sit there reading books.t go!"逍遙 said."I know, you must be thrilled about it... Wait What did you say! You can't go!" While the messenger was still lost in his thoughts, he looked at Daoist Tranquil-Victor with disbelief whe...
