Chapter 1518 - 746: Nantu, the Stolen Treasure?
"Who goes there? What is your purpose?" a Disciple asked sternly.
Luo Chen stepped forward and said politely, "We are here to return a Treasure and explain some misunderstandings."
The gatekeeping Disciple’s expression softened slightly, and he said, "Please wait a moment, I will go and report."
Soon after, an Elder in a Purple Robe came out, his gaze sharp, clearly of extraordinary Cultivation.
"I am an Elder of the Purple Sky Sect, I need to understand the details of what you are talking about," the Elder said.
Luo Chen detailed the entire situation to the Elder, including how Nan Tu accidentally obtained the Treasure and how they investigated to uncover the truth.
After listening, the Elder pondered for a moment and then said, "I will personally investigate this matter. If it is as you say, Nan Tu will not be treated unjustly."
Nan Tu said gratefully, "Thank you, Elder, for your discernment."
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that as long as a Purple Sky Sect Elder intervened, the matter should be properly resolved.
However, just as they were preparing to leave, a Purple Sky Sect Disciple hurried over, looking panicked.
"Elder, there’s trouble! The Sect’s treasury has been breached, and the Treasure has vanished!" The Disciple reported, out of breath.
The Elder’s expression changed upon hearing this, and he immediately turned to head back into the Sect, with Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, and Nan Tu following closely behind.
