Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

"Do you members of the royal family only engage in such sneaky tricks?"

Yun Xiao finally shifted his gaze from the black key, looking at Yan Shi with a rather gloomy expression as he responded. However, despite his words, he was already contemplating how to escape.

Despite having advanced to the Late Stage of the Meridian Rushing Realm, Yun Xiao could subtly sense that Yan Shi, standing before him, seemed much stronger than back at the Meridian Treasure vault—an opponent by no means easy to contend with.

Moreover, this was the Royal Family’s territory. Yun Xiao did not believe that after the incident at the Meridian Treasure vault, Xuan Jiuding would only assign Yan Shi to stand guard here. If other powerful members of the Royal Family joined forces to encircle him, escaping might as well be as difficult as growing wings.

"Haha, sneaking around? Yun Xiao, do you even realize where you are? Who is the real sneaky thief here?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shi couldn’t help but burst into laughter, then stretching out his hand to gesture around and added: "This place is the Royal Treasure Vault of the Xuanyue Royal Family. Your unauthorized intrusion is a capital offense!"

As Yan Shi uttered these words, Yun Xiao suddenly realized that this was probably all part of Xuan Jiuding’s plan. The guard earlier might have had nothing to do with Xuan Jing, not even a Gold Coin’s worth of connection; his purpose was likely to lure Yun Xiao into this Royal Treasure Vault.

Yun Xiao recalled the time in the Northwest of the Empire when he was falsely accused of being a royal treasure thief. Unexpectedly, such a baseless accusation now seemed destined to become true. Today, he might indeed become a Royal Thief.

Even though the old wooden box was originally the property of the Jade Pot Sect, given the current situation, Yun Xiao, with even a hundred mouths, would not be able to explain himself clear—he had been caught red-handed by Yan Shi.

"Hmph, you alone are not enough to stop me!"
