Chapter 666
After Lu Qing swept up every treasure in the vault, he immediately shot outward.
Yet the moment he emerged, he sensed over a dozen overwhelming auras already descending into the inner city, streaking toward him with incredible speed.
“Back so soon, are they?”
Lu Qing gave a soft chuckle, then let his aura shift again. His form blurred and vanished, perfectly melting into the surroundings. Like a wandering ghost, he slipped away in utter silence.
Barely three breaths after he left Huixing Peak, more than a dozen figures descended. Nascent Soul power surged forth in violent waves, sealing the entire mountain in unyielding force.
“Where did he go?”
The Nascent Soul perceptions of the Gongshu Clan’s patriarchs were peerless. In mere moments, they scoured every inch of Huixing Peak.
But no intruder could be found. The only sight before the vault was a heap of unconscious guards.
The vault doors hung wide open, its formations unraveled and useless. Yet the shadowy assassin was nowhere to be seen.
