In fact, the theft was not a big deal.
After all, in this world, there were all kinds of people. Of course, there was no lack of thieves, and there were quite a number of them.
However, looking at the four supreme leaders who held the fate of the human race in their hands, it was obvious that things were not that simple.
"Everyone, let me confirm one last time. Did all of you encounter the theft of your sect's belongings?"
Yin-Yang Academy Palace Lord Lou Yangbing looked at the crowd with a solemn gaze and asked in an extremely serious voice.
At this time, other than him and Zu Lingxuan, the other two people nodded at the same time.
Suddenly, the atmosphere of the scene became strange once again. The air seemed to freeze, and all sounds seemed to be unable to spread.
"My Yin-Yang Academy was also robbed last night."
Lou Yangbing broke the silence again and said, "The four major sects were robbed at the same time. This matter is definitely not simple!"
If it was only one of the sects that encountered this matter, then it was possible that it was an internal member of the sect who did it. When such a thing happened, it was fine to investigate it.
However, the four major sects were robbed at the same time. In this way, the possibility of it being an internal member of the sect was much lower.
And if it was really an outsider, the complexity of the problem would rise to another level.
One must know that these were the four major sects! It was the most sacred and dangerous place for the human race in the Hundred Rivers Region!
There were experts everywhere, and any one of them could be an expert who had reached the Ninth Stage of Heaven Ascension.
The most important thing was that even among the four major sects, there would be some reservations. They could not know the layout of each other's sects, and could only move around in a small area at most.
For outsiders, it was even stricter. They were not allowed to enter at all. Once they got close, they would encounter danger. It was not impossible for them to be killed on the spot!
And an outsider could actually successfully avoid the guards of the four major sects in such an environment, steal something, and leave safely.
This was really unbelievable!
"Although the things that the other party stole were not particularly valuable."
Hongwu Sect Lord Guan Zhengde frowned and said, "But the impact of this matter is too bad!"
"That's right!"
Seven Despair Palace's Palace Lord Gou Yuze said, "I ordered people to investigate the matter as soon as it happened to see if it was a disciple of our sect who committed the theft. But in the end, he realized that it was not the case at all! After asking Palace Master Zu, I found out that everyone had the same experience! "
"It's already not easy to enter our sect, but to be able to enter as if there's no one there, and to be able to succeed in stealing. If these four incidents were done by the same person, perhaps this time, our four sects will be facing an extremely strong opponent!"
Zu Lingxuan frowned and said with a serious tone.
"Palace Master Zu is right!"
Lou Yangbing slightly nodded and said, "We didn't lose anything valuable. It was obvious that the other party was not here for money. If that's the case, there's only one reason why they're doing this! "
"Provocation!"
The four leaders spoke in unison.
"He dares to provoke our Four Major Sects in such a way. Who is this guy?"
Guan Zhengde clenched his fists so hard that cracking sounds could be heard. "Do you really think that we are made of mud? If he's caught by me, I'll definitely tear this fellow's corpse into ten thousand pieces! "
"Brother Guan, don't be impatient!"
Zu Lingxuan advised. "The fact that the other party has the guts to provoke our sects at once means that he's not an ordinary thief. Even if he's not strong, his ability to hide his tracks should be quite impressive! If you respond impatiently, even if there's no danger, you'll definitely alert the enemy. The consequences of these two incidents are quite serious! "
"Palace Master Zu is right!"
Lou Yangbing's eyes flickered as she said, "Regardless of who the mastermind is, we can't act rashly. Not only does this concern our own safety, but it also concerns the dignity of our Four Major Sects. "
Obviously, if they couldn't hold back their anger and attacked rashly because of such a small matter, it would only make others think that they were panicking and afraid!
If things really turned out that way, they might directly fall into a passive position.
"Then what should we do now?"
Guan Zhengde looked at Lou Yangbing and Zu Lingxuan, his emotions gradually calming down.
"On the surface, we have to pretend that nothing has happened."
After pondering for a moment, Lou Yangbing said, "Then, we will secretly send out more powerful elders. After changing their appearances, they will search for clues without being noticed."
"That's exactly what I'm thinking!"
Zu Lingxuan said. "I have another suggestion! This time, since the other party is targeting our Four Major Sects, we can't just go our own way! I suggest that our Four Major Sects cooperate to search! This way, we can avoid wasting manpower, and we can also take care of each other! Perhaps the other party isn't just one person, but an organization! "
Zu Lingxuan's suggestion quickly gained the unanimous approval of everyone. Obviously, everyone felt that no matter how serious they were about this matter, it wouldn't be too much!
"Alright, then it's settled!"
Lou Yangbing slapped the table and finalized the matter. "Everyone, go back and gather reliable people. Our Palace Master's exclusive teleportation array can let everyone return to your respective sects secretly. "
The Palace Master's exclusive teleportation array was equivalent to a special passage. Only the Palace Master had the authority to use it, and it could only be used by the leaders of the major sects.
Not only was such a passage convenient, but it was also very hidden. Ordinary people wouldn't even know that such a thing existed!
"Since that's the case, then let's go."
Zu Lingxuan stood up and said to Lou Yangbing, "We will continue to meet here in four hours!"
After saying that, she also stepped onto the teleportation array that appeared behind her. With a flash of light, she instantly disappeared on the spot.
The other two didn't stay at all and left one after another.
Very soon, only Palace Master Lou Yangbing was left in the secret room.
At this moment, his eyes surged with a trace of depth. "Could it be that those things have appeared? It's a pity that the Special Envoy has already left a few days ago. Otherwise, perhaps we can borrow her power to investigate! Now, we can only rely on ourselves! "
