Chapter 460 - 466: Stealing Treasures

Trying to take everything was clearly unrealistic.

She was all alone. Facing so many Combined Cultivators, she didn’t stand a chance.

So, she had to be discreet—test the waters first before making any plans.

Song Wanning concealed the cold glint in her eyes and summoned the Dragon Spirit.

"Sister, let me help you see which one is the best."

The Dragon Spirit shot out excitedly. It had been a long time since it had seen so many treasures.

"Okay."

Song Wanning stroked the Dragon Spirit, and her gaze softened considerably.

The Dragon Spirit got to work immediately. It closed its eyes and began to sense its surroundings. A moment later, it had marked several targets.

"These few have the densest Spiritual Energy! They must be extraordinary!"

"Besides Spiritual Treasures, sense for Demon Treasures too,"

Song Wanning reminded it.

The Dragon Spirit immediately pouted. "Sister, you can’t still be thinking about Baili Shang, can you?"

"Hmm?"

Song Wanning looked at it quizzically. "This was the plan he and I came up with together. He even lured Huo Yang away for us. Should I just keep everything for myself?"

She raised an eyebrow. ’The Dragon Spirit’s reaction is a little strange.’

’Sister is right about everything,’ the Dragon Spirit thought, feeling a little embarrassed by her question. ’But Brother Xiao Jian said that these men are no good.’

’Baili Shang clearly has his eyes on Sister. We have to be on guard and make sure Sister doesn’t get tricked.’

But under its sister’s scrutinizing gaze, it felt increasingly guilty and immediately began to sense for the treasures with the densest Demonic Qi.

Soon, a few more items were marked.

Song Wanning gave a satisfied glance. ’If I had to do this myself, it would be easy to be fooled by some of the illusions.’

She chose one of the treasures and tentatively reached for it.

But the treasure was extremely cunning and flew away, not letting her touch it at all.

She tried chasing it for a few laps inside but still couldn’t catch the treasure.

Song Wanning knew this method wouldn’t work, but that wasn’t her main concern. Instead, she was focused on whether the powerhouse guarding the pavilion had noticed. ’And can he see what’s happening inside through the restrictive seals?’

The facts, however, proved that the elder couldn’t monitor what happened inside the restrictive seals. After all, all these treasures required points to be exchanged for; they couldn’t be stolen or snatched.

Besides, since they were treasures, people naturally needed their privacy...

Once she confirmed that the other party couldn’t see what was happening, Song Wanning immediately grew bolder.

The treasures were hard to collect, but that didn’t mean her inner space couldn’t do the job.

Moreover, the other party couldn’t sense the treasures’ auras. It was the perfect tool for a heist.

So, Song Wanning closed her eyes, completely immersing herself in her inner world.

Here, she was the absolute master.

She then began to pretend to drift unconsciously toward the orbs of light, as if passing by them unintentionally.

Many of the light orbs snorted at her approach, and some even showed their disdain for her.

Song Wanning moved unhurriedly through the orbs of light, gradually lowering their guard bit by bit.

When she felt the time was right, she secretly used her inner space and struck like lightning, swiftly pulling an orb inside.

Because her movements were too fast and the orb was instantly isolated by her inner space, the remaining orbs of light didn’t detect any fluctuations in Spiritual Power.

Seeing that this trick worked, Song Wanning didn’t hold back. She copied her previous success, moving swiftly among the orbs of light.

While they weren’t paying attention, she would pull them directly into her inner space.

In just a few minutes, more than twenty orbs of light had disappeared.

But among the countless orbs of light, this number was completely inconspicuous.

A dark glint flashed in Song Wanning’s eyes as she continued to collect the orbs.

However, her actions soon attracted the attention of the other orbs. A large, empty space quickly formed around Song Wanning as all the orbs of light avoided her, giving her no chance to get close.

She tried a few more times, unwilling to give up, but the orbs all kept their distance.

After a long while of hard work, she finally managed to grab a good number more.

But too much time had passed. Song Wanning was worried she would attract the guarding elder’s attention, so she figured she had to give up.

The Huo Family’s strength was not to be underestimated. She couldn’t be too brazen, or she would only bring disaster upon herself.

’Quitting while I’m ahead is a good idea, too.’

So Song Wanning wasted no more time. She neatened her appearance, and once she was sure everything was in order, she walked briskly out of the Treasure Pavilion.

The moment she appeared, she was immediately locked onto by the guarding elder’s Divine Sense.

A powerful gaze swept over her, as if her entire body was being seen through.

Her expression remained unchanged as she strode toward the guarding elder’s position.

Everyone who came out was subject to a routine inspection. It was a treasury, after all, so a little caution was normal.

But Song Wanning had no aura of any treasures on her.

The guarding elder furrowed his brow and took the initiative to ask, "Jin Chuan, did you not find anything you liked?"

Huo Jinchuan was a child these elders had watched grow up; they were all very familiar with him.

Hearing this, Song Wanning shook her head. "I don’t have enough points. I’ll come back to choose something after my father returns in a few days."

If you didn’t have enough points, you could only ask the Huo Clan Leader, since the Huo Clan Leader himself had a great many points.

As the Huo Clan Leader’s son, no one could say anything about Huo Jinchuan doing so.

The guarding elder nodded upon hearing this. He figured Huo Jinchuan must have set his sights on a fine treasure that couldn’t be acquired with just a few points.

"Alright, off you go!"

He waved his hand, completely unaware that many things had gone missing from within the restrictive seals.

Song Wanning calmly bowed and then strode away from the Treasure Pavilion.

’Now that I have the treasures, I must leave immediately. Who knows how long it will be before they find out?’

But bolting right after leaving the Treasure Pavilion would likely arouse the suspicion of anyone paying attention.

A thoughtful look flickered in Song Wanning’s eyes. Just as she was thinking of an excuse to leave, she suddenly overheard some disciples discussing the Huo Clan Leader.

"The Clan Leader’s selfishness led to the deaths of the Great Elder and Elder Huo Yuan, and now the Young Master comes back acting like nothing happened..."

"I heard he even went to the Treasure Pavilion."

"Tsk, I really feel bad for the Great Elder. You know, the Great Elder doted on the Young Master the most!"

The few of them grumbled in low voices, their eyes full of blame for the Clan Leader and his son.

After all, causing the deaths of such important figures just to resurrect a dead person was something no one could comprehend.

Hearing this, the corner of Song Wanning’s lip curled up sharply.

’An excuse just delivered itself to my doorstep!’

She immediately darkened her expression and slowly walked out.

The disciples who were still gossiping were instantly dumbfounded.

After coming to their senses, they hurriedly tried to explain, "Young Master, we didn’t mean it like that."

"Right, we... we were just feeling sad for the Great Elder."

The few of them stammered, their faces flushing red.

’Didn’t the Young Master go to the Treasure Pavilion? Why is he here?’

Song Wanning snorted coldly, her eyes filled with icy frost.

"The Great Elder died because of my father and me. I will naturally avenge him!"

"I’m going to kill those two wretches right now!"

With that, she abruptly changed direction and flew toward the gate.
