Invading the Wan Jian Pavilion
At this moment, the Sacred Star City was already in a state of panic. With such a terrifying explosion, it instantly attracted everyone's attention.
In the city, Liu Wentian, Gu Fanxing, and the others sensed the skyrocketing starlight. Their expressions changed drastically, and they all raised their heads to look.
"The place where the starlight appeared seems to be the direction of the treasury!"
With a low murmur, everyone's figures moved, directly piercing through the roof. As they looked towards the battle of Spiritual Arrays, their hearts began to tremble violently.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Almost at the same time, everyone rushed towards the Spiritual Array Battle. When they arrived, the towering Spiritual Array Mountain was flickering with thousands of Spiritual Array Runes. At the center, the passageway was wide open, directly exposing the Astral Treasury.
Instantly, everyone had different expressions, and a trace of an ominous premonition arose in their hearts.
They stared at each other. In the end, Liu Wentian and Gu Fanxing were the first to step out. With light steps, they walked towards the Astral Treasury.
As for the rest of the crowd, they all followed behind. Their pace was not fast, and with every step they took, their hearts became a little heavier. The space was completely silent, without the slightest sound, and no one dared to make a sound.
When they arrived in front of the treasury, Gu Fanxing frowned. Before he even reached out his hand, the door opened automatically, revealing an empty and wretched scene inside.
Thump!
Everyone's hearts trembled. Before they could even make a sound, a terrifying aura belonging to a Nirvana cultivator erupted from Gu Fanxing. With an earth-shattering force, it sent everyone flying.
The crowd managed to stabilize themselves with great difficulty. When they took a closer look, they saw that Gu Fanxing's face had turned ashen. He had entered the Star Vault without saying a word.
His body was surrounded by terrifying anger, coldness, and even a murderous intent. The aura grew thicker with every step he ascended, and no one dared to approach him due to his murderous intent.
When Gu Fanxing reached the seventh floor, the terrifying aura around him immediately disappeared. The entire space fell into a dead silence. Even the sound of a heartbeat could be heard clearly.
After a moment, the Spiritual Array Mountain, which had finally returned to its peaceful state, began to tremble again. This time, it was no longer starlight that burst out, but murderous intent, a ferocious murderous intent.
Accompanying this killing intent was Gu Fanxing's furious roar. It spread out and enveloped the entire Sacred Star City. All the cultivators in the city slumped to the ground in fright. Their foreheads were covered in sweat.
These people had no idea what was going on. They only felt a surge of anger descending from the void, as though it was going to crush them. It was extremely terrifying.
After a long while, the anger gradually dissipated. The crowd looked in the direction of the Spiritual Array Mountain and started to discuss. At the same time, more and more experts from other cities rushed to the Sacred Star City. Moreover, these experts were all from families and had high statuses.
Saint Star City, Zong Prefecture
This place was located in the center of the Sacred Star City, and it was the residence of the previous Sect Masters.
At that moment, countless silhouettes appeared in the Central Prefecture. These silhouettes were all rushing towards the direction of the main hall. The expressions on their faces were extremely unsightly and there was no trace of life in them.
More than a hundred people had already gathered in the hall.
These people were from various Clan Clans. They held important positions and were extremely powerful. They were the strongest fighting force of the Ancient Star Sect. But at this moment, they were all standing with their heads lowered. They did not dare to make the slightest sound.
Gu Fanxing was sitting at the head of the hall.
He looked absent-minded. His eyes were lifeless, and his face was ugly. His body was emitting a terrifying aura of anger. He did not say a word, causing the entire place to fall into a dead silence.
"How's the investigation of the Starry Vault?" Finally, a voice sounded.
The person who spoke was Liu Wentian.
As he spoke, he immediately looked at a grey-clothed elder. That grey-clothed elder's body trembled, then he quickly walked out and bowed. "After inspection, all the cultivation resources in the Star Treasury, including the three thousand sets of Star Rune Armors, have been taken. Not a single item was left behind."
As soon as he said that, Gu Fanxing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked up. This made the gray-robed elder's heart clench. Seeing that Gu Fanxing did not say anything, he continued, "We've already searched the entire Star Vault. We didn't find any trace of it, nor did we find any signs of forceful destruction of the various spirit formations."
"In my opinion, the thief must be very familiar with the Great Sect Protection Array. He might even be able to control the Great Sect Protection Array. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to steal all the cultivation resources without destroying the Spiritual Array."
"In other words, the thief is among us?" A Elder in black asked. The people present were the upper echelons of the Ancient Star Sect. They were the only ones who had access to the Great Huzong Array. The others did not even know where the Starry Vault was.
"When the anomaly appeared in the Starry Vault, we were all inspecting the Spiritual Arrays and studying the black scroll. How could it be possible for someone to steal in secret? Besides, without great strength, even if they could avoid the Spiritual Arrays, it would be impossible for them to avoid our investigation."
As soon as the Elder in black finished speaking, Liu Gu Qiong's voice sounded, directly refuting him.
He took a step forward and met everyone's gazes. He paused for a moment, then said, "I think that Brahma Wujie was the one who stole it."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a series of gasps in the hall.
The crowd looked at Liu Gu Qiong. Liu Gu Qiong's face was solemn as he said, "From the black scroll, we know that the Wanjian Pavilion has already grasped the flaws of the Great Huzong Array and is working on a way to break it. In other words, they can easily pass through the Great Huzong Array and wander around the Sacred Star City."
"To be able to ignore the Great Huzong Array and avoid our investigation, and to perfectly seize the opportunity to steal in this chaotic moment, who else could it be other than Fan Wujie, who deliberately left the Sacred Star City and was secretly hiding in the dark?"
Many people nodded at Liu Gu Qiong's words.
If it was before the appearance of the black scroll, they definitely wouldn't have suspected Fan Wujie. However, this black scroll had pointed him in the right direction and put all the clues together. The only person who had the ability to steal was Fan Wujie.
"Fan Wujie has always been an ambitious person. He has long been secretly working to annex the Ancient Star Sect. This theft is the fuse that ignited the fire. He wants to throw us into panic so that he can officially carry out his scheme!"
"It's a pity that the people from the Wanjian Pavilion have already left the Sacred Star City this morning. Otherwise, we could have interrogated them with torture!"
"What's the use of interrogation? The enemy is in the dark, while we are in the light. Our every move should be under the control of the other party. From the moment Luo Yun won the position of champion, I vaguely felt that something was wrong."
The voices of the crowd's discussion grew louder and louder. All of them pointed their fingers at Fan Wujie and the Wanjian Pavilion. They were certain that the theft was done by them.
Liu Wentian didn't participate in the discussion. He stood to the side with his head lowered, deep in thought.
At this moment, he raised his gaze and asked Gu Fanxing, "Sect Master, what do you think about this?"
Hearing Liu Wentian's words, the crowd immediately stopped their discussion and shifted their gazes to Gu Fanxing. However, Gu Fanxing's face was still gloomy, and a cold light flickered in his eyes.
He said, "There is no direct evidence that the theft of the treasury was done by Fan Wujie. However, at the same time, there is no way to clear Fan Wujie of suspicion.
"The appearance of the black scroll, the theft of the Starry Treasury, and the mysterious deaths of Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo. All of these happened in the Sacred Star City, and all of them pointed their fingers at Fan Wujie.
"Therefore, no matter what, we should come to an end with the Wanjian Pavilion. At this moment, as the Sect Master, I give an order to everyone here. From today onwards, secretly gather the elites of the various large families in the Sacred Star City and form a formation."
