Got It

At the same time, Long Xuan finally opened the tightly knotted Insect-Rearing Pouch and released a rabbit that was making a ruckus inside.

As soon as the rabbit jumped out of the Insect-Rearing Pouch, it eagerly hopped into the soil and darted around underground. Before long, it reached the location of the two princes' rooms, and then with a light jump, it leaped out of the soil.

With a clear goal in mind, the rabbit jumped out of the soil and quickly ran over to open the Insect-Rearing Pouch at Luo Zheng's waist. It took out the huge Living Wood inside, admired it intently for a moment, and then hurriedly put the Living Wood back into its own Insect-Rearing Pouch.

There was a Thatch Gu in the Insect-Rearing Pouch. In order to prevent the aura of the Heaven-grade Spirit Medicine from leaking out and causing him trouble, Long Xuan simply planned to have the Thatch Gu move the Living Wood away.

He simply couldn't believe that even though the Living Wood had been moved to the Far Western Lands, there were still people who could sense its presence.

As soon as the Living Wood entered the Insect-Rearing Pouch, the Thatch Gu inside immediately lit up, their eyes shining brightly—this was top-quality building material!

After happily placing the Living Wood into its Insect-Rearing Pouch, the rabbit didn't forget to tie Luo Zheng's Insect-Rearing Pouch back up before immediately jumping into the soil and disappearing in an instant.

Throughout the entire process, the two Gu cultivators at the Spiritual Sea Stage at the entrance of the courtyard did not notice anything unusual and stood dutifully on either side of the entrance like door gods.

After succeeding, the rabbit immediately traveled back the way it came from underground, found Long Xuan's location, jumped out of the ground, and obediently jumped back into the Insect-Rearing Pouch. This time, it was finally satisfied and stopped making a fuss.

After succeeding, Long Xuan was overjoyed and turned to leave without any intention of lingering.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, he planned to return to the Long Family Estate Long Family Estate as quickly as possible, as it was currently the only safest place for him.

As for the Origin Realm, Origin Realm will dissipate on its own once he is far away; he doesn't need to bother to dispel it.

The delayed dissipation of the Origin Realm gave him ample time to leave.

However, before Long Xuan had taken more than a few steps, his Eye of Heavenly Secrets detected that Gu King were rushing towards him from different directions. Startled, he quickly avoided the positions of all the Gu King and darted towards the position with the largest gap between Gu King.

Those two are on their own. If I'm not mistaken, the moment those two idiots broke off the bark of the Living Wood, the aura of the Living Wood fluctuated violently, causing the array they set up to not completely block the aura of the Living Wood.

Even the slightest leak of the aura of Heaven-grade Spirit Medicine is enough for a small number of Gu King to detect it.

In other words, I was quick with my hands and feet and got there first. It seems that whether I'm there or not, this Living Wood will be lost today.

What a flawed plan! How could we let those two idiots guard the treasure? If you don't choose the right people, even the most perfect scheme is useless.

Long Xuan shook his head helplessly and quickly left.

Meanwhile, outside the city...

At this moment, a great battle was breaking out some distance north of Blackstone City, with a large group of Gu King ganging up on one enemy.

A fierce battle was also breaking out some distance south of Blackstone City, with a large group of Gu King ganging up on one enemy.

However, the number of Gu King on the northern battlefield was much greater, with over a hundred Gu King in total. The one surrounded in the center of the crowd was a Peak Gu King.

The number of people on the southern battlefield was much smaller, only about twenty. More than twenty Gu King were besieging a Gu cultivator at the Mid-Stage Gu King.

The disparity in numbers was simply too great; the battle couldn't last long.

Before long, the Storage Bag of the Mid-Stage Gu King was smashed open, and the treasures inside scattered in all directions.

At the same time, the huge box that exuded the scent of Living Wood attracted everyone's attention.

"Living Wood!"

"Living Wood!"

"Living Wood!"

A chorus of excited exclamations rang out, followed by the group of Gu King revealing expressions of extreme greed as they frantically rushed towards the enormous box.

At this moment, the Mid-Stage Gu King tightly hugged the huge box, revealing a bitter smile.

"Hahaha... I never imagined that our meticulously planned scheme would still be seen through by you!"

"If I fail to protect the treasure, I will not escape death even if I return to China!"

"It seems the heavens are against me, but even if I die today, I will not let you lot get away with it."

"You all want the Living Wood, don't you? What my Great Yin Dynasty can't have, no one else can have. I'll destroy the Living Wood right now, and nobody will get it! Hahahaha..."

"Hahaha..."

He let out a maniacal laugh, then conjured a ball of Spirit Flame in his hand, which he poured wildly into the box.

"No!"

"Don't want!"

"Stop it!"

Everyone's eyes were bloodshot, and they rushed forward like madmen, completely disregarding the sea of fire that could burn them. Everyone had gone mad at that moment.

"Oh no! He's going to self-destruct! Run!"

"Damn it! This lunatic!"

"Boom!!!"

A deafening explosion suddenly rang out, and the Gu King who rushed the fastest were all affected by the shockwave. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, their bodies were sent flying backward.

Those who managed to escape the blast radius turned around and all wore grim expressions.

At this moment, the explosion center was engulfed in flames, and there was no trace of the large box. They couldn't even see a fragment of the Living Wood; presumably, the entire Living Wood had been vaporized by the fire, leaving nothing behind.

They had worked hard all day, but it was all for nothing. They hadn't gotten anything at all, and everyone's faces were gloomy. They were so angry that they were about to go crazy.

"How ruthless! He'd rather die with the Living Wood. Now that the Living Wood is burned to ashes, no one can fight over it anymore."

Looking at the sea of fire before him, Jiu Kang, who exuded the aura of Peak Gu King, gave a bitter smile.

"The legendary Heaven-grade Spirit Medicine has been destroyed just like that, what a waste! If he had cut the Living Wood into countless pieces, he could have easily survived. What was the point?"

Cai Xuan looked extremely pained, clutched his chest, and sighed deeply.

Just then, his storage ring suddenly moved. His expression changed, and he immediately took out a Message Transmission Talisman from the storage ring and looked at it.

He couldn't determine who had the Living Wood, so to be on the safe side, he split up with another Gu King from the Cai Clan, choosing the most suspicious follower for himself.

Now a reply has finally arrived from the other side, it seems the battle there has come to an end. He couldn't wait to take out the Message Transmission Talisman and read its contents.

He quickly gave a bitter smile and said helplessly, "Luo Yu over there was an Externalized Clone. He just self-destructed, dragging two Gu King down with him in his death."

"The Living Wood couldn't possibly be on that Externalized Clone. It seems the Living Wood was the one carrying it, and the Living Wood is now completely destroyed."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked disappointed, no longer clinging to any hope. They shook their heads, sighed, cursed a few times, and finally dispersed.

Meanwhile, a pair of eyes hidden in the shadows, seeing that the Living Wood had been completely destroyed and had aroused no suspicion, finally felt relieved and revealed a smug smile.

"Hehe, as expected, there were no mishaps. It's all thanks to my brilliant plan, Luo Yu, that I managed to outwit hundreds of Gu King. No one else could have done that."

The voice hidden in the shadows disappeared, and then a figure quickly slipped away towards Blackstone City.

However, when he sneaked back to the small house on the outskirts of Blackstone City, he saw many Gu King searching for something nearby, going from house to house, causing chaos, and he didn't know what they were looking for.

All the Gu cultivators from the Western Land Ten Clans, who had stayed in their Lineage and had not left the city, were now appearing in this secluded place.

Upon seeing this, Luo Yu's heart sank, and a bad premonition arose within him.

He quickly sneaked into the square, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it hadn't been searched yet.

It seems that those Gu King only sensed something was wrong in this area, but didn't know the exact location. Thank goodness.

Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief and rushed into the house.

"What have you all done?! I told you not to open that Insect-Rearing Pouch, didn't you disobey me?!"

As soon as he entered, Luo Yu questioned him with a ferocious expression.

"No! Absolutely not! How dare we disobey our Imperial Uncle? I swear, we absolutely did not open that Insect-Rearing Pouch."

Luo Zheng immediately denied it. He had a strong mentality and showed no signs of nervousness about doing something wrong. Moreover, he was a superb actor, looking wronged. Most people would probably believe him if they saw him like that.

On the contrary, Luo Ye looked completely guilty, his face pale, his eyes darting around, clearly terrified.

Even with his Oscar-worthy acting skills, Luo Zheng's incompetent teammate exposed his true abilities.

Seeing Luo Ye's expression, Luo Yu immediately understood what had happened and flew into a rage.

"Keep it sealed! If you didn't open the Insect-Rearing Pouch, how would those people know the location of the Living Wood? Or did you open it?"

Luo Yu rushed over like a madman and ripped off the Insect-Rearing Pouch from Luo Zheng's waist. When he opened the Insect-Rearing Pouch and looked inside, he found only a small silver snake fast asleep, while the Living Wood next to it had long since disappeared.

His vision immediately went black, and he staggered back a few steps, about to faint.

What a disaster! His meticulously planned scheme, which should have been foolproof, was ruined by those two idiots.

Look what you've done!

Luo Yu slammed the empty Insect-Rearing Pouch onto the ground, roaring like a madman, "You two idiots! I warned you a thousand times not to open this Insect-Rearing Pouch, and you completely ignored me!"

"Now look what's happened! The Living Wood has been stolen, and everything we've done has been for nothing!"

"You've ruined everything! You two are going to explain this to your father yourselves!"

Luo Yu was so angry his face turned pale. Even the most meticulous plans can have flaws! What a perfect plan! He never imagined that such a basic mistake would lead to such failure. He was filled with rage.

Now, not only has the Living Wood been lost, but also 40 billion Spirit Stone. That's an enormous sum; 40 billion is not a small amount even for an empire.

He felt an urge to vomit blood, wishing he could strangle these two useless and troublesome creatures.
