Stealing Treasure Before the Crisis
Six months later,
Shrek City Blacksmiths Association
Feng Wuyu looked at Chen Xing with a puzzled expression:
"Chen Xing, you sent someone last night to tell me to notify everyone to evacuate. What happened?"
Chen Xing doesn't beat around the bush:
"The Spirit Pagoda will bomb Shrek City in one hour."
Feng Wuyu was completely stunned.
He opened his mouth, but after a long pause, he managed to utter a sentence:
"What did you say?!"
"The Federation is going to launch two Level-Twelve Fixed-Installed Soul Guidance Cannon: one Eternal Heaven to bomb Shrek Academy, and the other Godslayer: Heaven and Earth Annihilation to bomb the Tang Sect Headquarters."
When Chen Xing said this, his tone was very calm, as if he were talking about something ordinary.
Feng Wuyu's body suddenly went limp.
Eternal Heaven!
The most powerful Level-Twelve Fixed-Installed Soul Guidance Cannon on the entire continent.
How on earth did Shrek provoke the Douluo Federation to the point that they unleashed such a powerful weapon?
Shrek City.
He has lived most of his life here.
Now someone is telling him that the city is about to be bombed?
Is the message reliable?
"It's reliable. The teacher instructed me to come here to inform you and guide your evacuation."
Feng Wuyu stared at Chen Xing for several seconds, then suddenly turned around and strode into the association.
"Immediately notify everyone to assemble immediately!"
Chen Xing called out to him.
"President Feng, remember, only withdraw the people from the Blacksmiths Association."
Feng Wuyu paused, turned around, and looked on with disbelief in his eyes:
"Where's Shrek? Where's the Tang Sect? They...?"
"It's too late."
Chen Xing interrupted him directly.
Feng Wuyu's lips trembled, and his expression changed repeatedly.
He wanted to argue, but the calmness in Chen Xing's eyes made his heart sink.
This young man was not joking with him at all.
"President Feng, if you go and inform Shrek and Tang Sect now, will they believe you?"
Seeing his hesitation, Chen Xing asked a question in return.
Upon hearing this, Feng Wuyu was speechless.
Shrek and Tang Sect sometimes completely ignore the advice of outsiders.
Moreover, given the relationship between Chen Xing and them,
This incident just happened six months ago at the Red-Class Mecha Engineer Promotion Ceremony.
"I see."
Feng Wuyu gritted his teeth, turned around, and walked away quickly.
Chen Xing watched his figure disappear into the association's gate, then took out two Concealment Ring from her Storage Ring.
Concealment Ring 2.0.
His upgraded version can simultaneously conceal his aura, Soul Power fluctuations, and physical outline.
Even the Limit Douluo couldn't detect it.
He put one of them on and kept the other in his hand.
A short while later, Tang Wulin arrived.
"Brother, I'm ready."
Chen Xing turned around and saw Tang Wulin, already dressed, standing behind him.
His face was expressionless, but Chen Xing noticed that his fists were clenched tightly.
"Nervous?"
"I'm not nervous."
Tang Wulin shook his head.
"That's good."
Chen Xing handed him another Concealment Ring.
"First stop, Tang Sect Treasury."
Tang Wulin was taken aback.
"Tang Sect?"
"The Tang Sect Headquarters is located in the northern part of Shrek City, not far from the academy."
Chen Xing turned and walked towards the north of the city.
"The Tang Sect's accumulated wealth of over 20,000 years—including Hidden Weapon blueprints, Soul Tool technology, rare materials, and cultivation manuals—is almost entirely in its treasure vault."
"These things cannot be left to the Spirit Pagoda."
"After we move the Tang Sect, let's move the Shrek!"
Tang Wulin swallowed hard.
"Brother, are we...?"
"Is it something?"
"Isn't that too harsh?"
Chen Xing turned around and glanced at him:
"Wulin, what do you think Shrek and Tang Sect would do with these things if they stayed in their hands?"
Tang Wulin opened his mouth.
"They'll use it to train disciples and fight Evil Soul Master..."
"Then what?"
"Then..."
Tang Wulin couldn't continue.
Chen Xing continued speaking:
"Then they will continue to monopolize the continent's resources, continue to suppress other forces, and continue to see themselves as the backbone of the continent."
"These things are in their hands; they are the capital that maintains their status."
"In my hands, it is a powerful resource that will enable us to launch the Astral Express more quickly."
Which do you think is more important?
Tang Wulin was silent for two seconds, then nodded vigorously.
"Brother, I understand."
"If you understand, then leave."
Wearing Concealment Ring, the two arrived at the outer wall of the Tang Sect Headquarters without any hindrance.
Chen Xing had AI Pom-Pom scan the location of the treasure vault.
"Three underground levels; the entrance is behind the main headquarters hall."
Chen Xing led Tang Wulin around to the back of the main hall, where they indeed found a hidden door disguised as a stone wall.
The hidden door is locked with Soul Power.
Chen Xing raised his hand and pressed it, his Vow Power surging into the lock core.
With a click, the hidden door opened.
The two walked down the steps and soon arrived at the Tang Sect Treasury.
Tang Wulin was stunned as soon as he entered.
Chen Xing laughed, his smile practically reaching for the sky.
Because what he saw was not a treasure trove.
They are mountains.
There were countless rare and precious treasures.
"Wulin, we've struck it rich!"
Tang Wulin swallowed hard.
"Brother, how much is this worth?"
Chen Xing extended one finger.
"It would be more than enough to buy the entire Douluo Continent."
Chen Xing walked to the nearest shelf and picked up a fist-sized piece of metal.
Deep Sea Heavy Silver.
This stuff is sold by the gram outside, but here it's sold by the ton.
Chen Xing stuffed the metal into the Storage Ring, a wild grin spreading across his face.
"Receive."
He then picked up a jade slip.
Mysterious Heaven Skill Manuscript).
This kind of thing would cause a bloodbath outside, but here it's just casually thrown on a shelf.
Chen Xing carefully put away the jade slip and laughed out loud.
"Receive."
Tang Wulin also realized what was happening and started packing the items into a storage bag.
"Brother, this Soul Bone is at least 100,000 years old!"
Chen Xing glanced at it.
"Receive."
"Brother, this box of Soul Guidance Cannon could flatten a city!"
"Receive."
"Brother, I don't recognize any of these ingredients!"
"Take it all."
Chen Xing happily collected treasures along the way.
Until the deepest part of the treasure vault.
The treasures here are far more precious than those outside!
"The last bit of the Tang Sect's 20,000-year-old legacy is all here."
With a wave of his hand, he directly stored the rest into his Storage Ring.
Not a single stitch was left behind.
Chen Xing couldn't stop smiling.
That's what you call a stroke of luck, that's what you call awesome.
After leaving the treasure vault, the two returned the way they came.
"Brother, next stop?"
"Shrek."
Chen Xing led Tang Wulin toward the Shrek Academy.
On the way, his Communicator vibrated.
It was sent by Na'er.
"The order has been given by Qiangu Dongfeng; both cannonballs are now in position within the Douluo Federation."
Chen Xing glanced at it but didn't reply.
He immediately pulled Tang Wulin up and started running.
"Let's hurry, time waits for no one."
Shrek Academy
The two entered the treasure vault.
Shrek's treasure trove surpasses even that of the Tang Sect.
Shrek locked them in his treasure vault for 20,000 years.
That's simply outrageous, beyond belief.
Chen Xing suddenly smiled:
"Behind the red gates, meat and wine go to waste; on the roads, the frozen dead lie."
"Just how much blood did they drink from the continent to acquire these treasures?"
Tang Wulin looked at Chen Xing with some confusion. "Brother, what did you say?"
"Nothing."
"Let's start installing."
