The Sun was hanging high in the sky. It was noon.
Ling Xian lifted his arm to break the arrays. It was as if he was possessed by the Immortal of Arrays.
This shocked Li Wutian to the extreme. He didn't expect Ye Futian's array skills to be so abnormal. The one hundred and eight arrays that he was so proud of had been completely destroyed by Ye Futian in such a short time.
After all, Li Wutian had invited three Grandmasters to set up these one hundred and eight Spirit Arrays. Yet they were all broken by Ling Xian in such a short period of time. This was far too shocking.
Even though he was used to seeing great storms and great waves, his heart was still stirred up by monstrous waves.
"What a terrifying array skill. Compared to the grandmasters, he does not pale in comparison." Li Wu Tian's eyes revealed his shock and he mumbled to himself.
Just then, Ling Xian had broken the last array.
"The array is broken. Let's go."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up as he walked into the treasury. Then, he saw a speechless scene.
The shelves on the first level were all empty. As far as the eye could see, it was a pitiful sight.
This made Li Wu Tian's anger rise. Without another word, he came to the second level.
The result made him even angrier.
It was no different from the first floor. All the treasures were gone. Even the shelves that held the treasures were gone.
"Despicable thief!"
Li Wu Tian was enraged. He walked up the stairs.
Ling Xian did the same.
The third floor, the fourth floor, the fifth floor … were no different from before. They had long been ransacked by the thieves.
This made Ling Xian shake his head and laugh. He formed a hand seal and covered the entire pavilion to prevent the thief from escaping.
Then, he and Li Wu Tian continued up the stairs. It wasn't until they reached the ninth level that they finally saw the thief.
She was wearing a tight black robe. Her face was bright and her facial features were exquisite. It was the Thief of the World that he hadn't seen in years.
Currently, she was looking outside the window with a bitter expression and was using a secret technique to break the array Ling Xian set up.
"So it really is you."
Looking at that familiar face, Ling Xian shook his head and laughed, "Don't waste your energy. You cannot break my array."
At those words, the Thief of the World was a little startled. After seeing Ling Xian, she gritted her teeth.
"Hmph, I was wondering why I couldn't break it. So it was you who set it up."
"What a coincidence to run into you again." Ling Xian grinned.
"I don't want this kind of coincidence."
Thief of the World pouted and mumbled: "Every time I meet you, it's my bad luck."
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled.
Li Wutian frowned and asked, "Do you know each other?"
"An acquaintance."
Ling Xian grinned, "Her name is Thief of the World. I'm sure you've heard of her."
"The great thief who is known to steal all over the world?"
Li Wu Tian's expression changed slightly as he looked at the Thief of the World and said coldly: "I was wondering who had the ability to sneak into my Myriad Treasure Tower's treasury. So it was you."
"Don't make it sound like it's difficult to enter your own treasury. It's as easy as turning over my hand for me."
The Thief of the World pouted and glared at Ling Xian, "If he wasn't here, I would've left a long time ago. You wouldn't even be able to see my shadow."
Hearing this, Li Wu Tian was furious but he had no words to argue.
Just like the Thief of the World said, if it wasn't for Ling Xian, he wouldn't even be able to enter, let alone see the Thief of the World.
"Alright, hand over all the treasures you stole. Let's pretend this never happened." Ling Xian faintly grinned.
"Why should I?"
The Thief of the World rolled his eyes at Ling Xian, "What is in my hands is mine. Nobody can take it back."
"Then I don't care."
Ling Xian teased, "You better think this through. The person next to me is a powerhouse at the peak of the Blending Path. If you don't hand it over, you won't be walking out of here."
"Hmmph, isn't it all because of you?"
The Thief of the World hissed, "If you lift the inhibition spell, he won't be able to stop me."
"But I don't know how to lift the inhibition spell."
Ling Xian had a smile on his lips, "Hand it over. Let's just pretend this was a misunderstanding. We don't need to fight."
Hearing this, the Thief of the World looked at Ling Xian bitterly, "You want me to go back empty-handed?"
"It's not a question of whether I want to or not."
Ling Xian shook his head and laughed, "You stole something from him, so you should return it. Not punishing you is already being merciful."
Then, he shifted his gaze towards Li Wu Tian, "Don't you think so?"
Hearing this, Li Wu Tian understood. Ling Xian was trying to protect the Thief of the World.
This made him helpless. Though he really wanted to punish the Thief of the World, he had to give Ling Xian face.
He said, "If you hand over all your treasures, I can pretend this never happened."
Hearing this, the Thief of the World hesitated and asked, "Then you have to promise not to hurt me."
"I have to give Master Ling face. Don't worry." Li Wu Tian smiled.
"Then … can you leave one for me?"
The Thief of the World mumbled, "Thieves never leave empty-handed. I spent a lot of effort, you have to leave one for me."
"You …"
Ling Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Stop wasting time. Hand over all your treasures."
"Psh, I knew I would be unlucky to run into you."
The Thief of the World pouted and unwillingly took out all his treasures, "Is this okay now?"
"No, I'm still missing eight."
Li Wu Tian was helpless. As the owner of the Tower of Thousand Treasures, he naturally knew everything about the place. He could tell right away that the treasures were incomplete.
"You are so embarrassing." Ling Xian was helpless as well. He glared at the Thief of the World, "Hurry up and take them out."
"Hmmph, you sure have good eyes."
Thieving World snorted and took out the eight missing treasures, saying hatefully: "Is this enough?"
"Yes." Li Wu Tian rolled up his sleeve and all the treasures on the ground returned to their original positions.
"I am sorry to have troubled you." Ling Xian smiled apologetically.
"It's okay. It's just a misunderstanding. As long as the result is good." Li Wu Tian waved his hand.
"Thank you for forgiving me."
Ling Xian smiled and dispersed the inhibition spell that surrounded this place, "Follow me."
"I am not going with you."
The Thief of the World rolled his eyes at Ling Xian and disappeared in a flash, leaving behind only one sentence that echoed throughout the area.
"I will find you if I need anything."
Hearing this, Ling Xian chuckled, "Let's go as well."
Then, he and Li Wu Tian left the treasure vault and arrived at the forest where Li Wu Tian once lived.
Because this person had recovered to his peak, there was no longer a need for him to live in seclusion. Ling Xian really liked this beautiful place.
Therefore, this place now belonged to him.
When Ling Xian returned, he saw two women waiting for him before the cottage.
One of them was Su Zi, the other looked 90% similar to her.
This woman wore a moon white robe and her hair was tied up in a bun, making her look elegant and dignified. In particular, her mature charm that had undergone the baptism of wind and rain added a bit of charm to her.
Without a doubt, this was Su Zi's birth mother, Li Ying Yue.
Right now, she was checking out Ling Xian with a "strange" gaze.
Like a mother-in-law … looking at her son-in-law!
