Chapter 481 - 479: Ranger Wild Soul
Xun Ying stood in place, his anger brewing as he said, "Outside the Qiling Pearl, there’s a strong barrier guarding it. Even for someone with Disaster True Sequence, it would take a lot of time to break it. And with the four of you taking turns guarding it, how could it be so easily stolen?"
The Dragon Elder sighed and said, "The group that stole the Qiling Pearl once represented the Association here for the biannual liaison and they were very courteous, so we weren’t very vigilant against them."
"On the day of the incident, they came with an item of President Ye, claiming they had a top-secret command and asked us four to wait at a designated spot, so we went."
After speaking, he handed an item to Xun Ying, a white dragon scale inscribed with the character ’Ye’.
Xun Ying’s expression darkened; the scale was indeed from the white dragon that accompanied Ye Haimo, but a singular token couldn’t prove anything.
"While we were away, this group secretly sneaked into the temple housing the Qiling Pearl, killed the guards we left there, used a special method to destroy the temple’s barrier, and stole the Qiling Pearl."
"The temple’s barrier was connected to the outer grand barrier, so when it was breached, it led to this incident."
"We four wanted to pursue them immediately, and then... this appeared on us."
The Dragon Village Chief pulled down his collar, revealing inside a faintly glowing ethereal chain.
Xun Ying recognized this chain; it was a security measure voluntarily installed by Demon Spirit Village during their agreement with the Hunters Association to reassure the Association.
