After receiving the report from his subordinates, the crab spirit rushed to the scene immediately. The place where the puppet had been placed was now empty. There were only some traces left on the ground, proving that a huge object had been placed there.
The crab spirit turned his neck stiffly and looked at the group of Sea Race Yao cultivators. "When did you discover that it was missing?"
One of the Sea Race Yao cultivators told them what they had discovered in a low voice. He even mentioned that there had been a small black fish swimming nearby.
"Do you mean that the person who stole the puppet was a Sea Race Yao cultivator?"
The crab spirit took a deep breath.
"Chief, it's highly possible."
Everyone looked at each other and nodded.
"Tell me, which Sea Race Yao cultivator dared to sneak into the Serpent Dragon Palace and steal the Patriarch's item?"
The crab spirit's eyes were almost spitting fire.
The group of Sea Race Yao cultivators who were responsible for patrolling the area were frightened. They lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
"You are all a bunch of trash!"
The crab spirit roared. "Wait until I report this to the Patriarch. If he gets angry, I won't have a good ending, and neither will you!"
After saying that, the crab spirit's body moved and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already outside a palace.
Inside the palace, Venerable Jiao looked at Long Cheng and Prodo with a faint smile. He had been cultivating in seclusion, but the two of them had suddenly come to visit him. For the sake of Xuanyuan Zhongtian, he had to personally receive them with his Taiyi body.
"Honorable nephews, I dare to guarantee that the brat you are looking for is definitely not on Blue Water Star. He has already escaped using some unknown method. No matter how many years you stay on Blue Water Star, you will not be able to find any traces of him."
Venerable Jiao smiled.
"Senior …"
Just as Long Cheng was about to speak, the crab spirit suddenly barged into the palace. He looked at Long Cheng and Prodo, then immediately sent a voice transmission to Venerable Jiao. "Patriarch, the puppet is missing."
Long Cheng and Prodo looked at each other, then at the crab spirit. Their eyes flashed with suspicion. Since the crab spirit had barged into the palace, something must have happened to the Serpent Dragon Palace!
Venerable Jiao was stunned. He thought he had misheard. He subconsciously stood up and walked in front of the crab spirit. He whispered, "Someone came to the Serpent Dragon Palace and stole the puppet?"
"The Serpent Dragon Palace was stolen? Just now? "
The two of them were slightly shocked. Who was so bold as to dare to come to Taiyi's territory to steal things?
"That's right …"
The crab spirit nodded bitterly.
Pa!
Master Jiao swung his hand and slapped the crab spirit's face. The crab spirit couldn't react in time, so it was sent flying out of the palace. Master Jiao then walked out of the palace, ignoring the two of them.
"Let's follow and take a look."
Frodo's face was filled with excitement.
Long Cheng thought for a moment, and his eyes slightly moved. He got up and walked out of the hall.
Not long after, the crab spirit covered his face with one hand and brought Daoist Jiao to the place where the puppet was stolen. It was a remote place in the Jiao Dragon Palace, so Daoist Jiao would not normally come here. The two of them followed from a distance.
After seeing Daoist Jiao, the Sea Race Beast Cultivators quickly knelt on the ground. They lowered their heads and shivered.
"Speak, tell me everything from the beginning to the end."
Venerable Jiao glanced at the marks on the ground and said calmly. Even though he was trying his best to suppress his anger and look calm, everyone knew that Venerable Jiao's anger was like a surging river. Although it was calm, it was still powerful enough to kill someone! The dignified Jiao Dragon Palace had been infiltrated by a thief, who had stolen the Mo family's puppet that he had bought for twenty-eight million All Heaven Coins. Even though the puppet had already been destroyed by Xuanyuan Zhongtian, and the loss was not too great, such an action was equivalent to someone slapping Daoist Jiao in the face.
Daoist Jiao had just been taught a lesson by Xuanyuan Zhongtian two hundred years ago, and he had suffered heavy losses? The anger in his heart had yet to completely subside! The crab spirit repeated what had happened in a low voice. Originally, he was angry that his subordinates had placed the suspicion on the small black fish, as if they were trying to shirk responsibility. However, he now placed the focus on the small black fish. Otherwise, without any clues, it would be easier to anger Daoist Jiao.
If that happened, they would not have a good time!
"Small black fish? Hahaha! You're saying that a small black fish stole my puppet? Hahaha! "
Daoist Jiao was so angry that he started laughing.
The crab spirit knelt on the ground in fear. He had sensed a trace of killing intent hidden in Daoist Jiao's laughter.
The crab felt a bit bitter. Given Daoist Jiao's current state, he needed to vent his anger. The cultivations of the patrolling Sea Race's monster cultivators were too low, and they were not enough to be his punching bag. However, he was very suitable for this role. If he was not careful, he might die here!
"Senior …"
Long Cheng's voice suddenly rang out.
Poludo was stunned for a moment, then he quickly transmitted a message to Long Cheng. "This dragon is very angry. Don't provoke him for no reason!"
"What is it?"
Daoist Jiao suddenly turned his head and looked coldly at Long Cheng.
"I smell it."
Long Cheng closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Because of the endless seawater around him, he hadn't been able to immediately sense the aura. However, now that he was less than thirty meters away from where the puppet had disappeared, he finally caught a whiff of that aura.
"What did you smell?"
Daoist Jiao furrowed his eyebrows and temporarily suppressed his anger.
The crab spirit looked at Long Cheng in a daze and rejoiced in his heart. If Long Cheng had not interrupted Daoist Jiao, he might have already died.
"Ning Beixuan has never left Blue Water Star!"
Long Cheng shouted in a low voice, then stomped his feet and shot into the sky like a cannonball.
"What?"
Shock flashed in Poludo's eyes. He did not have time to ask any questions, so he quickly followed.
"Ning Beixuan?" Venerable Jiao was stunned. Then, his face turned pale. Regardless of how the other party was sure that Ning Beixuan hadn't left the Blue Water Planet, this explanation seemed to make more sense. A guy who had disappeared without a trace had reappeared and taken his puppet away.
Daoist Jiao would rather believe that someone had risked his life to sneak into the Jiao Dragon Palace to steal a puppet that had lost all its functions.
"Patriarch, does he mean that that guy … has been hiding in our Jiao Dragon Palace all this time?"
The crab spirit had an astounded expression, and then his heart was instantly filled with boundless flames of rage. When Ning Qi vanished that day, he'd naturally suffered extreme punishment as the caretaker. If it was Ning Qi who'd stolen the puppet this time, then he wished for nothing more than to swallow Ning Qi whole by whole mouthful!
