Chapter 774 - 751
There are no walls in the world that wind cannot permeate, and Zhou Heng had not the slightest intention of acting like a thief. To gather information, he spent money lavishly, drawing attention was inevitable!
The household he visited was the Chen Family, a prominent clan in the city. The Chen Family had a Land Cleaving Expert in residence, ranking highly even among the powers of Baiming City. A few days ago, during a routine inspection, they discovered that their warehouse had been burgled!
This was a serious matter!
The Chen Family had launched an internal investigation while searching the city for any trace of the thief. Initially, they suspected an inside job, considering their tight security; how could an outsider...not even a fly could enter. How could someone leave with six cumbersome chests without alerting anyone?
But they soon found their culprit.
—The gold and silver ingots from the Chen Family were all stamped with the family’s private seal, which made them very easy to identify! Zhou Heng was spending money openly and without concern, immediately attracting the attention of the Chen family.
Since the theft was so bizarre and happened in such a highly secure area, the Chen Family did not dare to be negligent and promptly dispatched four Initial Separation Third Layer Heaven Experts! The thief had entered the Chen Family’s territory unnoticed and stolen so much, their strength not to be underestimated!
In reality, the Chen Family could ignore the loss of some gold and jewelry, considering their vast wealth. After all, the thief’s skills were quite extraordinary and it was better not to provoke them if possible—what if they ended up losing an Initial Separation family member? That would be a huge loss!
But what made them unable to turn a blind eye was one of the chests Zhou Heng took contained "Spiritual Medicine"!
Inside that chest was a Green Spirit Ginseng!
This was an item the Chen Family had obtained at great cost, even suffering a severely wounded Land Cleaving Expert in a battle against a Demon Beast guarding the medicine! But it was all worth it, as the Green Spirit Ginseng could help a Land Cleaving Third Layer Heaven Expert break through to the Open Heaven Realm!
