Chapter 628 - The Scheming of the Conspiracy (1/2)

“Blue Sky Formation!”

The Emperor of Thieves’ Seal on Sima Kong’s forehead fired golden beams silently, without any energy waves, which formed a formation in the blink of an eye, encapsulating the treasures within five li in the third palace.

At that instant, it was as if the areas inside and outside of the formation were separated into two different worlds.

“The formation only lasts half the period it takes for an incense to burn. We must hurry!”

Sima Kong transmitted his voice.

“But...this formation...it’s transparent!” Longhu’s voice trembled. If the old man currently cultivating deep within the place opened his eyes, he could easily see them.

“He’s cultivating, why would he open his eyes all of a sudden?”

Qin Nan said snappily. As time was running short, he quickly scanned the third palace.

The third palace was a hundred li large, with countless artifacts all over the place. Each artifact emitted a powerful force. He could count at least a few tens of thousands of them with a rough estimation!

Their formation only covered an area of five li, which only had a few thousand.

“F**k me…”

Even Qin Nan could not help but curse.

This Trading Alliance was rich indeed. If it weren’t for the presence of the old man deep within the palace, he would definitely rob the place clean.

“We can only pick the ones inside the formation. Everything here has special protections, so we can’t pick the ones outside. By the way, try your best to grab the smaller ones!” Sima Kong said.

Qin Nan immediately came to a realization.

The space in their storage bags was limited, thus it was better for them to grab the smaller pieces.

You might ask why the Trading Alliance would keep their treasures in eight different palaces. The reason being that these treasures belonged to the entire Trading Alliance, not a single person.

As such, no one would be convinced of their safety by placing them under a single person’s supervision.

That being said, Sima Kong had targeted the third palace out of all of them, as the treasures there were relatively smaller. Hence, they could steal more from here.

Whoosh!

With the formation in place, there was no need to worry about their presence being compromised. Sima Kong immediately made his move and summoned a few hundred mirror images that cracked the first-layer of forbidding formations within the treasures.

Splash!

Sima Kong spat out flames from his mouth that covered the treasures.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

At that instant, the second-layer of protection of the treasures were unleashed, which transformed into terrifying attacks that swarmed in Sima Kong’s direction.

“Longhu!”

Sima Kong yelled as he grabbed the stunned Longhu with his hand and placed him in front.

“Sima Kong, you piece of shit——”

Longhu reacted by wearing a pale face. He finally realized why Sima Kong had asked him to wear so much defensive apparel. He was planning to use him as a meat shield!

BANG BANG BANG!

Following a series of explosions, the defensive equipment on Longhu’s body was shattered into pieces, as his body experienced a great impact and became scorched as if he had been roasted.

Luckily, Longhu’s flesh was outstanding and firm. Otherwise, he would surely have died from the impact.

“You...son...of...a...bitch…” Longhu wore a sorrowful and furious look.

Qin Nan, who was standing aside, could feel his heart skip a beat. Although he could easily deal with the counterattack of the treasures, it would most likely cause the Blue Sky Formation to explode too.

The only choice to avoid the formation being affected was to have Longhu resisting the counterattack like a meatshield.

“Hehe, great job brother! Qin Nan, time to pick the treasures!” Sima Kong cast a glance at Qin Nan.

The two simply left Longhu at the side mercilessly and began to choose their loot.
