At noon, Lou Xiaoyi finally saw the identity of the bandits!
There were a few ordinary cultivators who had started to gather on the third floor. This was definitely not all of them, but before they took action, for someone like him who had completely grasped the timing of their actions, he could still see some clues.
They would take action directly on the third floor!
If it were an inexperienced bandit, they might choose to first create chaos on the first floor, then create a dispute on the second floor, and finally take action on the third floor. It sounded like a very thorough plan, but in the current environment of Guangcheng Palace, doing so would be like taking off one's pants and releasing one's breath. It was an unnecessary move!
The people of the Yellow Court were already prepared, so no matter where the chaos occurred, they would immediately collect the treasures in their hands and lose the opportunity!
The bandit group's plan was to do the opposite, starting from the third floor, then moving to the first and second floor, creating chaos as a whole!
Lou Xiaoyi could not leave the third floor, at least not during the robbery. This was because this was the only time when they could make a move in the midst of the chaos! That was what both he and Yu Gu thought!
After leaving Guangcheng Palace, with Lou Xiaoyi's strength, it might be possible for him to snatch the treasures by force. But once he did, he would definitely become the target of public criticism, and there would be no point in doing things secretly!
The exchange of spiritual weapons on the third floor was very lively, and there would often be cultivators taking out their own spiritual weapons to compare with the treasures on display. This was normal, but it was also because the bandit group had been going up one by one for the past few days to exchange spiritual weapons. They had to create such an illusion that the exchange was lively, and the participating cultivators were all excited. They had to artificially create a false atmosphere, all for the sake of making their move today!
They had tried all five of the cultivators on display, just to find the most careless one!
For example, the current owner of the Zephyr Flag!
Every treasure owner was told that there might be bandits at the Treasure Appraisal Convention, and they were asked to retrieve their treasures at the first moment if an accident happened. But everyone was different. Because of their personality, because of their strength, because of their trust in the sect, there would be differences in the degree of importance they placed on the treasures!
How to differentiate? It was a test by the members of the pirate group. They would take the initiative to communicate with each other using their own spirit tools. Then, through some small actions and words during the process of communication, they would judge whether the exhibitor was being careful or careless.
The owner of the Zephyr Flag was carefree. He himself had some strength and really wanted to see what sort of person the great thief was. Moreover, he trusted those fellow disciples of his in the small vestibule very much, and he'd even heard of the arrangements the Golden Hall Realm cultivators had set up outside the Guangcheng Palace. So, he didn't think that there would be someone capable of seizing the treasures before him. Even if it was done, how could the person escape the inescapable net of the Golden Hall Realm cultivators?
When another Spirit Tool slowly approached him, he naturally assumed that it was another cultivator who wanted to communicate with him, so he didn't take any precautions!
This was a small cauldron. It was ordinary, and its power of the five elements was ordinary. Just as he was about to open his mouth and laugh at how he dared to compare this thing here, a sudden change occurred!
The small cauldron flipped and a spatial energy abruptly emerged, enveloping an area of over 100 meters in circumference. Instantly, the outside and the outside of the space were separated by Yin and Yang. Within the space were the five exhibitors and the other treasure hunters that were too close, whereas the five treasures were isolated outside!
The small cauldron was called the Heaven Overturning Cauldron, and it separated people and not objects!
The goal of the pirate group was to cut off the connection between the treasures and their owners at the first possible moment!
The time would be very short, because Jin Dan's spirit tool was unable to create a large area and long term spatial barrier. But the cooperation of the pirate group was abnormally skilled, and they were all veterans. At practically the same time, the other two spirit tools were successively activated!
One was a spiritual storm impact! Its strength was very limited, and the damage it caused to cultivators could only be described as weak. But the impact produced from it would affect the cultivator's Divine Sense and carry a sound and light effect!
If it was in the wild, a cultivator could even turn a blind eye to this degree of impact when facing an enemy alone! But it was different here, this was a narrow indoor space! Who didn't have more or less enemies in the cultivation world? In the Guangcheng Palace, all sorts of disagreements could be found everywhere. When Divine Sense and Vision Perception lost their effect under a sudden change, the first reaction of a cultivator was to leave!
This wasn't a matter of being startled! It was a good habit of self-protection! If a cultivator didn't have this habit, if they were still standing there like wooden pegs, they would sooner or later die in the traps that were everywhere in the cultivation world!
The moment the spiritual storm impact was unleashed, it was like a group of little chicks that had their nest blown open. In order to guard against a possible sneak attack from others, there would definitely be people who would choose to quickly escape. A portion of them would escape, forcing the remaining people to have no choice but to escape. Because they would feel that there were shadows in front of them and behind them. If you foolishly stayed in the same spot, would you be training your wooden pegs?
The quality of the cultivators who came were all very high, which also meant that their reaction to escaping was very fast. Only by escaping would they be able to observe what was happening in the end. They wouldn't be able to see clearly what was happening before escaping!
This was the first principle of a cultivator when encountering danger in the outside world, and it couldn't be reversed!
The pirate group made use of this point, and purposely blew up the group! Of course, the reason why the effect was so good was because there were a few hidden bandits who were deliberately leading the tempo! They ran away in a panic, and at the same time, defended their upper bodies. With weapons in hand, they pretended to be under attack!
Yu Gu was one of them! His position in the pirate group was limited, and he wasn't able to play a very important role. This was also because of his relatively low strength!
The one who really made the move was someone else, and it was a snakeskin bag! This wasn't the magical weapon that Lou Xiaoyi used to carry around when he was working in his previous life, but a real cultivation weapon. It was a piece of snakeskin left behind after a Space Flying Serpent was killed, and was made into a sharp weapon by cultivators to block out divine sense detection!
If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools! The group of people in the pirate group didn't rely on their combat strength to make a name for themselves in the martial world. Combat strength was only one aspect, but they were even more skilled in the field of professionalism. Not only did they have soft strength, experience, planning, and unimaginable imagination, they also had hard strength, and all kinds of extremely professional stealing equipment!
For example, the three spiritual weapons that they used today, with perfect coordination, they were able to brazenly commit crimes in front of hundreds of people!
Without hurting anyone, and still able to achieve their goal, this was the true pinnacle of stealing!
For example, this snakeskin bag, there was a professional cut in the pirate group – the bag! The purpose was to take away the stolen goods without anyone noticing, so that all traces of auras would be ineffective. Even if the owner was right in front of him, he wouldn't be able to detect the aura of his own treasures!
With this item, the pirate group could complete the last step, and how to safely retreat! Otherwise, if they left behind a trail of aura that would be followed by others, how could they still be considered a top pirate group?
The snakeskin bag rose in the air, and with a suction of the snake's head, all five treasures flew into the bag in an instant, and shrank into its shape. The user was about to reach out to grab it, but at this moment, a sharp gust of wind attacked him!
