Chapter 1737: Chapter 527: The Secret Treasure Vault of the Forty Thieves_3

With the power of countless immortals at her beck and call, Sophia Jones’s aura suddenly soared to a level that struck terror into the hearts of the bandits as they looked up.

"Not good! This... this is the Fairy Secret Technique of the God Thief White Family!"

The Necromancer immediately realized that something was terribly wrong.

He had revealed his trump card, and not long after, he didn’t expect his opponent to reveal such an outrageous Ten Thousand Immortals Technique!

In an instant, the pride in the Necromancer’s heart was completely swept away, replaced only by endless regret.

Damn it, why did he provoke such a group of people;

Damn it, why didn’t he observe more instead of rashly making a move!

What this guy didn’t know was, it wasn’t that he wasn’t careful enough. It was that the "easy prey" he thought he was targeting had been plotting from the moment they stepped into the Black Market.

Being tricked was no injustice.

And if this guy knew that he was facing a combat configuration even higher than that of Holy Son Chireesa of the Heavenly Dragon Saint, maybe he would feel fortunate that his death wasn’t so painful.

Sophia Jones was fully powered, chanting softly: "Immortal Technique... Eight-direction Celestial Venerable Gods!"

In the vast Death Spirit Domain, serpents, worms, crows, foxes, bears, tigers, cranes... various giant statues of Immortal Aegis Animals reaching a hundred meters high guarded the eight directions, imprisoning the domain.

Now, even if the Necromancer wanted to run, he couldn’t escape!

Before the Necromancer could do anything, Sophia Jones cast another spell.

"Immortal Technique: Heavenly Ghost Tomb Fire!"

"Immortal Skill: Great Flame Dog Contract Burial Soul!"

From the sky, ghost flames specially designed to burn death spirit creatures fell like raindrops.

The originally fierce Spirit Objects were instantly scorched and howled in agony.

As the spell completed in an instant, Sophia Jones brandishing her great sword enveloped in Immortal Spirit Qi, charged fiercely forward.

The Necromancer’s face drastically changed, knowing that he had no choice but to fight desperately.

The Crystal Skull in his hand shone with a Dark Light, and countless crimson wronged souls burst forth, biting and tearing towards Sophia Jones...

The battle instantly escalated to a fever pitch.

...

Leonard Churchill planned to deal with the minions first, but reality presented a small surprise.

He estimated the strength of this group of bandits, but did not account for external factors.

The reality was that the equipment of these "Forty Thieves" was exceptionally good, and they clearly possessed a number of treasures from the Royal Academy’s vault.

Even Leonard was caught off guard.

Fortunately, these thieves were of low tier, and with treasures in hand, they could not utilize much of their power; otherwise, it really would have been troublesome.

It seems that these guys were likely part of the crew that got their share when the Royal Academy fell apart.

After all, as a professional group, they knew better than most where the good stuff was.

With this in mind, Leonard became even more ruthless in his actions.

Just as the thieves saw him as easy prey, he saw these thieves as easy prey.

With so many treasures on them, their warehouse must have even more!

While Leonard was slaughtering chaotically, Sophia Jones was also in a fierce battle with the Necromancer.

But due to the boost from the equipment, the fight was a bit more intense than expected, and it would take a longer time to conclude.

Leonard originally didn’t want the Peacock to help, as the human scheming and struggles weren’t fitting for her status as a Lord.

However, as the fight occurred, suddenly, streaks of white feathers like sharp arrows appeared in the sky.

It completely eliminated the thieves’ last hope of dragging out until reinforcements could arrive.

The Peacock made her move after all.

These days, Leonard had given her a Divine Fragment of a Titan God, causing a significant surge in her bloodline Divine Power and strength.

Those who eat the food and use the resources provided have obligations to fulfill.

The Peacock, having been fed and supported by Leonard these days, felt somewhat obliged to assist.

With her already crushing tier, if we speak of the speed of killing, her Silent Annihilation Divine Light that breaks all laws is more efficient than any other method.

With a single release of the Silent Annihilation Divine Light, no matter the defense, it was pierced in an instant.

Not only those that Leonard had not yet killed, but also those thieves hanging on by a thread thanks to their protective treasures, or the Undead Creatures...

They went down like wheat under a scythe, in droves.

The core members of the "Forty Thieves," some twenty or thirty of them, were annihilated in no time.

Freeing up his hands, Leonard looked at the Peacock and flashed an appreciative smile.

The Peacock rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.

Leonard Churchill didn’t take it to heart and, full of enthusiasm, joined forces with Sophia Jones to round up the thief leader.

With the two strong allies teaming up, the battle lacked any suspense.

Although the necromancer had powerful methods, he couldn’t stir up much trouble under their joint efforts. Before long, his soul fire was scattered in all directions.

....

On the empty streets, there was not a single corpse.

It must be said, the "Forty Thieves" gang carried out their crimes very professionally, employing almost every conceivable stealthy method.

Not only did they set up barriers to prevent the spread of energy and sound, but the domain of their leader, "Count Misty Mountain" Rostov, was also a barrier-type domain.

They had originally planned to silently ambush a few fat sheep within the city.

Unbeknowst to them, this provided convenience to Leonard Churchill and his group which made killing these guys hardly cause any disturbance.

Moreover, the battlefield hardly left any useful traces.

The corpses and Spoils of War couldn’t be tallied in time and were all collected into the oil painting. Right now, Leonard Churchill had more important things to do.

He had feigned the identity of the "Forty Thieves" gang leader, really to find out the location of their headquarters.

A group of thieves that had been active for decades certainly had no shortage of treasures.

Leonard Churchill: "Let’s go, Aunt Jones, we’re off to East City!"

Sophia Jones nodded, her lips curling into a smile of anticipation.

It had been a very long time since she’d felt the excitement of turning the tables on a robbery.

....

Shortly after Leonard Churchill and his companions left, some patrolmen were drawn into the dark alleyways.

However, after they didn’t find anything amiss, they didn’t pay it any mind.

Half an hour later, at 115 Tulip Avenue, East City.

At the entrance to a luxurious manor estate, three cloaked figures alighted from a carriage.

At the entrance, the leader lifted the cloak to reveal the face of a middle-aged man with a goatee.

It was the face of "Count Misty Mountain" Rostov, disguised by Leonard Churchill using a Clown mask.

Although this down-on-his-luck earl had no land, his wealth was indeed substantial; the manor wasn’t small and had special stables and servants’ quarters.

Upon seeing Leonard Churchill’s disguise, the gatekeeper hurriedly opened the gate, respectfully saying: "My lord, the Earl!"

Leonard Churchill didn’t pay much heed and walked straight in.

Following right behind him veiled by their cloaks were Sophia Jones and the peacock.

They hadn’t gone far when the estate’s steward came rushing out to greet them.

Although somewhat surprised why the earl had returned from outside his manor, he didn’t dare to ask more.

Once inside the manor, Leonard Churchill removed his cloak, giving the servants no chance to recognize him, and went straight to the steward, saying: "Now get all the people in the manor to go to their quarters and wait, I have arrangements to make shortly."

"Yes, my lord."

Although the steward was puzzled about what needed to be done so late at night, he dared not question and turned to summon the other servants of the manor.

Leonard Churchill and his companions went straight into the luxurious estate.

The servants were shooed away, of course, to search for the "Forty Thieves" secret treasure.

"Count Misty Mountain" was the perfect disguise; hiding treasures in his manor would not be suspected or searched.

After eliminating that guy earlier, Sophia Jones attempted to perform a Spirit Search with fairy techniques and received some fragmentary information.

However, Soul Search by a Top-Rank Card Master is very troublesome and time-consuming, especially for card masters with strong souls like necromancers.

So in such a short time, they only knew that the treasure was within the manor.

The rest was no longer a problem.

If it was a treasury, it was definitely in a Hidden Dimension.

Given the cautious nature of the "Forty Thieves," it was certainly difficult to find.

Now, with the thief gang almost wiped out, it might have caught the attention of certain forces, and the manor couldn’t be stayed in for long.

But Leonard Churchill had an ace up his sleeve.

As they walked into a room, Leonard Churchill patted the pocket where a certain sleepy girl was resting and asked: "Ivan, can you help me see where there is a Hidden Dimension?"

Any spatial abnormality could be sensed by her.

Sure enough, the sleepy Ivan crawled out of the pocket, still unclear about what was happening, she was already being put to work.

A few pastries later, this girl also guided Leonard Churchill and the others to an underground location.

Following a hidden passageway behind a fireplace in the earl’s study downward, they saw a secret door.

Leonard Churchill knew that behind this secret door lay the treasure vault of the Forty Thieves!
