Chapter 455: Chapter 347: Seeing His Trace Again!

Communication ended.

Qiong’s mouth curled slightly.

Over the years, she had done enough for the family.

Now they still want to play the game of getting something for nothing?

In your dreams.

She began to silently tally the treasures from the vault this time, wanting to make a list.

Suddenly.

Another Gemstone Ring lit up.

It was the communication from the renowned third miss of the Mushu family, which under normal circumstances, she would never dare to neglect.

Qiong pondered for two breaths, then finally pressed on the gemstone.

A female voice immediately rang out:

"Qiong, my good sister, I heard that the Shangmo family has been destroyed. Are you alright?"

"Thank you for your concern, Third Miss, I’m fine," Qiong said.

"That’s great, Qiong, come over to our side now. My father said, as long as you stand with us and get your hands on the Shangmo family’s assets, we can guarantee your safety," the other party said urgently.

"Come over to your side?" Qiong asked calmly.

The other side said enthusiastically:

"Qiong, haven’t you always wanted the Star Arrows? And our family’s latest Combat Jewelry, if you come over with the Human Puppet Forging Skill, these won’t be a problem."

"I’m afraid that’s not possible. I can’t join you. After all, the Shangmo family also needs the Human Puppet Forging Skill. If you want it, I could sell it to you instead."

"Sell? The Shangmo family is already extinct. Don’t be stubborn, or you won’t be far from death either, Qiong."

Qiong smiled silently to herself.

I now possess the entire family treasury, deciding all of the family’s affairs, yet you think a few bones thrown my way will make me your dog?

As for strength—

I’ve seen Arian’s talents with my own eyes.

It’s worth a gamble!

"Excuse me, I’m in the middle of tallying items. When the head of the family comes back later, I will inform him of your request."

Qiong disconnected the communication again.

She had no further thoughts, stood in place, and started tallying the treasure seriously.

...

"You left all the wealth to that woman?" Audrey asked incredulously.

"Yes," Wu Xiaode walked slowly through the underground railway, smiling as he said:

"You see, she’s covered in rings and bracelets, not a single earring or necklace missing. She must be very good at handling treasures."

"Aren’t you afraid she’ll run?" Xiao Baihong asked.

"Isn’t this playing too big?" Little Bone also said.

"She has suffered eight hundred years of hardship within the Shangmo family. She won’t be content just to leave the Destruction Council and hide in the countryside, waiting to be hunted down," Wu Xiaode said.

"Won’t she run back to the Prison Flame family? That’s her birth family," Audrey said.

"So the bet I’ve placed is the entire Shangmo family. All this belongs to her now—anyone who asks her for it is attempting to rob her."

"Furthermore, with me, she holds the highest power within the family, something others can’t give her."

"If she still wants to leave after this, then let her go."

Having said that, Wu Xiaode arrived at a crossroads, shielding his eyes with his hand as he looked towards the main road.

On both sides of the main road were treasure vaults.

Some vault doors were already broken, while others remained intact.

Bodies littered the ground.

It seemed Siang preferred killing people to gaining these treasures.

From the distance came waves of wails and screams.

The ground shook occasionally.

Even separated by a great distance, the stench of blood was still detectable.

No one knew how many people Siang had killed.

It seemed tireless in its slaughter.

"Does it only kill people? It doesn’t even care about treasures, truly a monster that has risen above base interests," Xiao Baihong remarked.

Wu Xiaode put his finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture.

All was silent.

He bent down and used the Desert Sword to slice open a broken door, entering.

Inside, the ground was covered in golden sand, piled seven or eight meters high.

Treasures were scattered carelessly among the sand, stretching as far as the eye could see.

—The wealth here was even more substantial than in the Shangmo family’s treasure vault.

"Audrey, you shouldn’t fret over the Shangmo family’s treasure,"

Wu Xiaode said, sheathing the Desert Sword.

"Alright, just give me some Law Crystals. I need them to supply the ghosts in the Ghost Country," Audrey said.

"Take whatever you want—oh, why do these vaults all look like their contents have been tossed around?" Wu Xiaode asked.

Audrey laughed and said:

"In such a secure place, you usually have to notify the bank in advance and agree on the one item or few items you intend to retrieve. If you don’t know where the thing you want is—"

"Then you’re doomed,"

Wu Xiaode nodded in understanding.

The treasures were buried in sand several meters deep, spread throughout the entire vault. If you weren’t their owner, you’d have no idea where a particular item was buried.

But now things were different—

With Siang rampaging and killing mindlessly, the bank’s supervisors had been killed off, and even that dragon might well be finished.

He could take as much as he wanted.

Audrey flew out of the Book of the Dead, circled the entire vault, and located each Law Crystal artifact.

"My Ghost Country is on the verge of evolving, and this is enough!" Audrey said with delight.

Only then did Wu Xiaode nod and remove the Holy Treasure Ring from his finger, saying:

"Well then—Little Bone, it’s your turn to make a run."

"Leave it to me!"

The skeleton dragon took the ring in its mouth and flew back and forth across the vault.

The once brimming vault was now empty.

"Let’s go back. I guess Qiong’s inventory of treasures is almost done too," Wu Xiaode said.

He climbed out of the vault and glanced back.

There was a rune mark on the vault door.

With knowledge from the resentful spirits, Wu Xiaode recognized that this mark represented a family called "Poison Grain."

I’m sorry, but I’m taking the money.

You’ve destroyed so many worlds, this one treasure vault surely won’t matter to you—

—If it does, all the better.

Wu Xiaode dusted off his hands, slipped the ring back onto his finger, and prepared to walk back.

Xiao Baihong suddenly said:

"I was listening to the sounds of the battle just now, and it seems like the door to another vault around the corner is also broken."

Wu Xiaode halted his steps, quickly turned his head, and walked toward the shattered treasure vault door.

Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent.

All sounds of battle, the shouts of people, the noise of collapsing buildings, all vanished into nothingness.

There was not a single sound in the entire underground treasure vault complex.

Wu Xiaode felt puzzled and grew even more cautious, carefully hugging the wall as he turned the corner.

He froze for a moment.

Not far away on the railway tracks, a huge dragon lay on the ground, its body torn into seven or eight pieces, dead beyond dead.

Siang had slain the dragon.

What had happened next?

Wu Xiaode looked further into the distance.

He saw countless bodies, blurry with blood and flesh, lying motionless on the ground.

It was unknown how many people Siang had killed.

——Had it already killed its way out?

It was unknown.

Wu Xiaode once again became serious.

He closed his eyes, quietly listening to the movements around him.

There were none.

...Something wasn’t right.

If Siang had killed its way out, it would have encountered resistance along the way.

Even if everyone had fled, the traps and prohibitions would still make noise.

Yet now there was no sound at all.

Wu Xiaode’s gaze sharpened, and suddenly he activated "See the Dead."

The surroundings instantly transformed into the Undead World.

Countless deceased souls were wandering here, unable to leave.

"Where is the one who killed you?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"It’s in the treasure vault, doing something unknown," one of the dead spirits said, "please... avenge me."

The spirits all looked at him.

Wu Xiaode shook his head and said, "Sorry, I’m not strong enough, and you all should be able to see that clearly."

With a flash, he left the Undead World and returned to the corner, hugging the wall and quietly pondering.

Why hadn’t Siang left?

Could it have been injured while fighting the dragon?

But there was no new Healing Skill appearing on his body—

At that moment, Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but become curious.

He quivered slightly, releasing more Demon Mist to cover him, and then approached the entrance of the treasure vault, looking inside.

Inside, treasures were scattered all over the floor.

A ball of flames floated in mid-air, seemingly smelting something.

Siang was standing on a Gold treasure chest, its hand gestures continuously changing, as if it were controlling the temperature.

One of its hands had completely lost all flesh, leaving only bone, and there were even more injuries on its body.

It seemed that facing a real dragon had indeed caused it some injury.

So what was it doing now?

Wu Xiaode thought, sweeping his gaze around, and suddenly noticed a jade slip by Siang’s foot.

Jade slip!

An epiphany struck Wu Xiaode’s mind.

——Indeed, he had given Siang the Basic Human Puppet Forging Skill, for it to trade with the Council.

The jade slip had not been given out yet!

Right now, as a monster, it was using the jade slip to refine a human puppet body for itself!

Wu Xiaode contemplated his strategy in silence.

Suddenly.

Siang’s hand gesture stopped, and it muttered to itself, "Still missing some materials... Let’s find more..."

Its figure flashed, darting out of the treasure vault’s gateway, speeding back the way it had come.

Wu Xiaode abruptly realized what was happening.

This was bad!

He got up and chased after Siang, rushing back.

The two, one after the other, charged toward the entrance of the Poison Grain family’s treasure vault.

Siang stopped here.

Wu Xiaode had already passed it, continuing to speed back with all his might.

"Faster, lend me your strength," he barked.

"Here I come," Audrey replied.

Wu Xiaode felt as if someone had given him a push, his speed instantaneously increased, and in a blink, he was back in front of the Shangmo family’s treasure vault.

By that time, Siang had just stepped into the Poison Grain family’s treasure vault.

It saw—

The entire treasure vault was empty.

"Eh? There are still rats around?"

Siang narrowed its eyes, a nervous smile spreading across its face.

Magic emanated from its hand—

But there was no discovery.

The smile gradually faded from Siang’s face.

Impossible.

These ants definitely couldn’t hide from its search.

Except for—

Except for that person.

Yes, he had followed it to the Council’s bank!

"Hee hee hee, so you’re here too."

Siang licked its finger, and with a flash, it vanished from the spot.

The next instant.

It appeared inside the Shangmo family’s treasure vault.

"Imprison!"

Siang roared madly, its hands weaving spells nonstop.

——End·Immovable World!

Almost at the same moment—

"Let’s go!"

Wu Xiaode shouted, grabbing Qiong who had been counting treasures, his eyes flashing as he activated "See the Dead."

Light rushed toward them.

——Spatial Immobility!

Siang had locked down this world, preventing any spatial channels from being opened.

It had learned its lesson!
