Chapter 1140: The Thieves
The missing artifact, Heaven Jewel, caused quite a stir. How could a thief manage to steal it from right under everyone’s nose?
They didn’t try to hide this humiliating matter either. Disciples from the four guardians tried to find the thief since this would be a great contribution.
The portals in Radiance World were heavily guarded to prevent anyone from escaping.
Zhang Guyue followed the traces of Heaven Jewel to this place. It was calculated by a master in Aquamoon Paradise and then passed on to the four guardians.
He only came to investigate these newcomers. However, he saw the sacred fruit and changed his mind, wanting to take advantage of the situation.
Once he brought them back to Cosmic Sword Dao, he would be able to do whatever he wanted.
After all, directly robbing them of the fruit would cause a commotion and reflect negatively on Aquamoon’s reputation.
Moreover, given the value of the fruit, he would gift it to his master and be guaranteed as the next successor.
Lastly, the missing artifact was being investigated by the saintess, ritualists, and devotees. Finding the artifact before them was a difficult task. Thus, focusing on the sacred fruit was a wiser move.
It only took a second for him to come up with the pros and cons regarding the situation.
Ji Heng came forward, intending to capture Feiyun. However, he couldn’t touch Feiyun before being stopped by a powerful sword slash.
