Chapter 1052 - An Audacious Thief
A giant bird flew in the sky.
On its back, it carried many figures dressed in water-blue clothes with a water dragon embroidered on it. All of them had a water droplet mark on their foreheads.
That was the Yushi family. They were one of the ten conferred families with the title “Rain God.”
The ten conferred families had ancient surnames. They had a long history and commanded a lot of influence, which was why they could stand abreast with the biggest sects.
The elder in the lead looked ahead and said, “We’re almost there. In front of us is Jadeite Mountain!”
Following that, he turned around and looked at the young prodigies behind him.
“All the best prodigies have gathered on Jadeite Mountain. You’d better behave yourselves; don’t ruin the reputation of the Yushi family!”
“Yes, Elder!”
The prodigies replied loudly. They were very excited.
The bird swooped over the mountains and rivers at an incredible speed. In a short moment, it was already near Jadeite Mountain.
“Hm? Something’s amiss. It’s too quiet!”
The old man frowned and muttered.
He narrowed his gaze when they got closer. When he saw what happened, his entire body trembled in shock.
“Huh? My eyes must be playing tricks on me. Heheh, that’s impossible!”
He laughed heartily, rubbed his eyes, and looked again.
His eyes suddenly widened, and his face began to contort out of shock.
“What’s wrong, Elder?”
The people were startled when they saw that.
“It’s… it’s… oh my god!” The elder pointed ahead of him with a trembling finger. He looked as though he had just seen the most ridiculous thing in the world.
The people behind him were even more baffled. The elder was a Path Seeking expert, and he had witnessed all sorts of spectacular battles. Why was he so surprised?
They turned to look carefully at the mountain in front of them.
They were flabbergasted when they saw the situation clearly.
Not a single person on the entire mountain was left standing. They were all sprawled on the ground. What was even more shocking was that groups of people were stripped naked and piled together.
The mountain was littered with mounds of flesh.
What a terrifying scene!
“That’s…”
They gulped, and their faces turned pale. They felt that the scene was too absurd.
Were those the elites from the other sects and families?
How could that be possible?
They jumped down from the bird when they got near. Then, they looked around anxiously.
“That’s the old monster from the Feng family. That one’s from the Great Cosmic Echo Sect… Oh my god! How can this be? They’re all Path Seeking experts!”
“All these are prodigies and Path-Chosen! All their treasures are gone! They’ve all been robbed!”
“Oh my god! An incredible thief must have done this!”
Their shock grew as they looked around.
Everyone in the mountain and the valley was robbed, regardless if they were old or young, or male or female. The thief had stripped the men naked.
“It’s like they’ve been stripped by a swarm of locusts! This is outrageous!”
They were filled with righteous indignation, but at the same time, they were also a little afraid. If they had arrived earlier, they would have suffered the same fate.
“Where did this audacious thief come from?”
They were even more puzzled.
Even Path Seeking experts were robbed. It meant that the thief was at least in the State of Path Seeking, but it was impossible that they were in the State of Path Severance. After all, Path Severance experts were very rare, and every one of them was like a demigod. They would not have stooped to stealing.
“Look, what’s that?”
Someone found pieces of paper on a rock in the valley. On them were written “Thanks,” “Thank you very much,” “You’re all good people,” and so on.
When they saw that, their facial muscles twitched into all sorts of interesting shapes.
The thief was too brazen. Not only did he rob everyone clean, but he also left taunting messages.
“Sigh, this’ll blow up very soon!”
The Yushi family elder sighed. He could imagine the commotion in the First Continent once the news spread.
He crouched down and examined them carefully. Those people’s lives were not in danger, but they seemed to have been drugged into a deep sleep.
That made him even more astonished. What drug could possibly knock out a Path Seeking expert?
Also, how did so many people get drugged at once?
After a while, an elder woke up and groaned. His head was spinning.
“What happened?”
He stood up while supporting his forehead. He looked around him and was stunned.
Following that, more elders woke up. They were dumbstruck when they saw the scene in front of them.
“Where’s my treasure?”
“Where are my clothes?”
They cried out in panic and rushed down the mountain.
“They’re gone! All the treasures are gone!”
“Ahh! Who did this? I’ll chop him up!”
They flew into a rage.
“What the hell is going on?”
Some people calmed down and began to recall what happened, trying to figure out what was going on.
“Liquor! It must be that divine liquor! Damn that b*stard liquor vendor!”
Suddenly, someone gritted his teeth and shouted.
“What? It’s that liquor vendor?”
The others were stunned. Then, they slapped their thighs and stomped their feet in anger.
“Argh! Why didn’t I think of that?”
“Who could that liquor vendor be?”
Soon, the young people also woke up. When they saw each other’s appearances, they first laughed, but the laughter soon turned into panic.
Angry roars shook the entire mountain.
“Where’s that b*stard liquor vendor? I want to cut him!”
“I want to chop him into pieces!”
They were losing their minds.
They lost all their treasures. How were they going to explain that to their elders?
Furthermore, they had never suffered such humiliation before!
The elders were livid when they saw the pieces of paper. That was blatant mockery! All of them would be the subject of ridicule in the First Continent.
“Urgh!” “Urgh!”
The elders spat out mouthfuls of blood. They clutched their chests and fell to the ground.
Many young prodigies also vomited blood. They had brought so many treasures with them, but they were robbed of everything before they had achieved anything.
Without the treasures to give them confidence, they could not kill that Nameless Qin b*stard!
Some people guessed, “Do you think… that liquor vendor is that Nameless Qin b*stard?”
When those words were said, they immediately caused a commotion.
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
“That’s right. Didn’t that Qin guy run away? Besides, how could he possibly fool us all?”
Everyone dismissed that thought.
Some people were thinking of that, but they had to refute it verbally. After all, if that were true, they would be reduced to a joke.
