Deep inside the Emperor's Tomb, 12 powerhouses of the ninth level engaged in a messy battle. The battle was shocking and intense.
Heavenly light shot through the cloud and ripples rolled out. Everyone's face turned white and they retreated.
The ripples from the battle between two ninth level powerhouses were terrifying enough, let alone 12?
Even someone as powerful as Ling Xian retreated a few steps.
He was silently watching the battle and waiting for an opportunity. An opportunity for him to steal the treasures without anyone noticing.
If this was before, Ling Xian wouldn't be able to do anything. After all, there were 12 ninth level powerhouses. Who could steal food from a tiger's mouth?
But today, he had the ability to do so.
The Heavenly Hand of Thieving Immortals was an unparalleled technique. It allowed him to steal all the treasures without anyone noticing.
Of course, it was very difficult.
Therefore, Ling Xian waited patiently for an opportunity that was guaranteed to succeed.
Everyone else was waiting as well.
Anyone could discern that every single one of these 10 treasures was priceless, so they were naturally worth fighting for.
However, they didn't have Ling Xian's capabilities. They could only pray that these ninth level powerhouses were all heavily injured and unable to fight for the treasures.
"I only want one treasure. Whoever tries to stop me dies!" The elder in white shouted. His fists were fierce like dragons and forced back the swordsman.
At the same time, his giant hand swept across the sky in an attempt to pocket the treasures.
However, he was besieged by the crowd.
If there were only 10 ninth level powerhouses, then there would be no need to fight. Each person could just take one treasure. But there were 12 of them.
This meant two people would be eliminated.
"We are all ninth level powerhouses. It will be hard to determine a winner in a messy battle."
The swordsman's expression was emotionless. "Why don't we team up and suppress two of them? That way, we can divide the treasures fairly."
"Easy for you to say. But who are we going to suppress?" The elder in white snickered.
"I don't like you." The swordsman retorted.
"If you don't like me, then come fight me. If I don't defeat you today, I am not human!" The elder in white's eyes were shooting out electricity. Every time he raised his hand, the sky would crack open and the earth would shake.
This made everyone else helpless. They wanted to sit down and talk peacefully, but the elder in white and the swordsman didn't give them the chance.
The middle-aged man and the black-clothed old man did not want to sit down and talk.
Not only did they want to get a treasure for themselves, they also wanted to get one for Ling Xian. Therefore, the two of them wanted to muddy the waters. Only then would they have the chance to get three treasures.
Boom boom boom!
Waves of mystical abilities shook the heavens and earth, and waves of aura swept out in all directions. The 12 level-nine cultivators attacked aggressively, not giving way at all.
Gradually, they started to fight for real.
These people were all domineering characters and were used to being unreasonable. How could they compromise? How could they not be angry?
This made Ling Xian realize that his opportunity had arrived.
It was an extremely difficult task to steal a treasure under the noses of twelve ninth-realm cultivators. Even with the Sky-Stealing Godly Hands, it was not an easy task.
However, if these 12 level-nine cultivators did not pay attention to the treasure, then it was possible.
At this moment, the twelve of them were clearly focused on the battle. Even if they were still paying attention to the ten balls of light, they were not as serious as before.
This gave Ling Xian an opportunity. As long as he was careful, he could steal the treasure.
Then, he mentally called out and the Heaven Shadowing Array surrounded his body.
Instantly, his breathing disappeared. He was right there, but there was no trace of his breathing.
"The ninth-level-nine cultivators are focused on the battle and everyone else is focused on the battle. This is without a doubt, the best opportunity."
Ling Xian silently chuckled, knowing that he could not miss this opportunity.
Then, his palm began to emit light as he called out the Thief Immortal's ultimate technique, the Sky-Stealing Hand.
A strange suction force appeared and without a sound, it landed on the first ball of light on the left.
In the next second, the ball of light appeared on Ling Xian's palm and entered his storage pouch.
The entire process was silent, and no one noticed. Even the 12 level-nine cultivators didn't notice.
This made Ling Xian ecstatic and also made him feel accomplished.
There were 12 ninth level-nine cultivators and hundreds of eighth level-nine cultivators here. Plus, there were hundreds of eyes. Who could steal the treasure under everyone's watchful eyes? Even if a Supreme was here, it wouldn't be possible!
Yet Ling Xian had done it. This was unbelievable!
"After they realize the treasure is gone, the expression on their faces will be very interesting."
Ling Xian mocked. Once again, the Sky-Stealing Hand landed on the second ball of light on the left.
Then, the ball of light disappeared. When it reappeared, it was already inside his storage pouch.
The entire process happened in the blink of an eye and was silent. Nobody noticed it.
"Let's fight. The more intense the fight, the better. That way, I can steal the treasure without anyone noticing." Ling Xian revealed a grin as he hid within the crowd.
Using the same method, without anyone noticing, he stole the third ball of light.
However, just as he was about to steal the fourth treasure, someone finally noticed.
"Look, three balls of light are gone!"
A young man was stunned, wondering if he was seeing things.
"They're really gone. Did I remember wrong?"
"What's going on? There were 10 balls of light, why are there only seven left?"
"I must have remembered wrong. How can the balls of light disappear without a trace?"
Everyone chimed in, wondering if they were seeing things or if they were remembering things wrong.
Even the 12 powerhouses of the ninth level were confused.
This was far too confusing. Hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at them. Even if the balls of light had wings, they couldn't have disappeared!
"Could it be a mechanism of the Emperor's Tomb? After a period of time, the treasure will disappear without a trace?"
"That's possible. Other than the Heaven Protector, who once ruled the City of Zhi Ge, who else could make a treasure disappear under the watch of 12 powerhouses of the ninth level?"
"That's impossible. If that person didn't want his descendants to get their hands on the treasure, he could've hidden it. There's no reason for him to trick us."
Everyone's brows were tightly locked together, very confused.
The 12 powerhouses of the ninth level were also confused and scratching their heads.
As they fought, they placed their spiritual sense on the balls of light to see if it was a mechanism of the Emperor's Tomb.
The result was that after a full two hours, the balls of light still hadn't disappeared.
This made everyone certain that it wasn't a mechanism of the Emperor's Tomb.
After eliminating this guess, there was only one possibility left – it was done by someone.
This guess silenced everyone. Or in other words, they fell into a state of shock.
After all, there were 12 ninth-leveled cultivators here. Who could hide from their senses and steal the treasure without a sound?
Even if they were obsessed with fighting, even if everyone's attention was drawn to the battle, stealing a treasure was still something unbelievable.
"Though it is hard to believe, this is the most reliable guess."
The elder in white's expression darkened. Everyone could tell that he was truly angry.
The other powerhouses of the ninth level reacted the same way.
Stealing a treasure right under their noses was a humiliation to them. How could they not be angry?
"Interesting. How dare you steal a treasure right under my nose. No matter who you are, I will kill you!" The swordsman's eyes were cold and full of killer's intent.
