Chapter 211 A Triumphant Return
And this last line of defense consists of the treasures and spirit stones placed here. These glittering things are not only dazzling to the eye, but also intoxicating to the mind.
Someone must have channeled the power of lightning into these so-called spirit stones to deceive others. They're just waiting for that person to fill the spirit stones with the lightning and then use it to immobilize the person, just like Lin Xiu and Ling Feng we saw earlier.
Those who are immobilized cannot move and can only remain here until the reinforcements from the Mo Yun Kingdom arrive, at which point they can be trapped like turtles in a jar.
After hearing Bai Ke's speculation, everyone couldn't help but think that the King of Moyun Kingdom was indeed cunning and treacherous, a step ahead of them. If it weren't for their senior brother stopping them earlier, they would probably be dead here by now.
Thinking about all this, their admiration and goodwill towards Bai Ke soared, breaking records once again.
Upon hearing this, one of the disciples asked worriedly, "Senior Brother, since these spirit stones are a trap, what do we do? Are we really going to have made a wasted trip?"
Bai Ke chuckled and said, "Heh! Spirit stones? You're overthinking it. In my opinion, these are just bait to lure people in. They're probably fakes from the Mo Yun Kingdom, placed here."
Firstly, to prevent the guards from stealing the spirit stones themselves; secondly, to prevent people who want to rob the spirit stones, like us.
"What! So many spirit stones are fake! Hey! Are the people of Moyun Kingdom just bored and have nothing better to do than make a bunch of fakes to fool people! Senior brother, then... what about the real ones? Could they not even be here?"
"Is the reason this place is called a spirit stone vault just to lure people in?"
"Hehe, haven't you heard? The most dangerous place is the safest place! I don't believe that the people of Moyun Kingdom went to all this trouble to set up so many traps just to lure people in with counterfeits."
The real spirit stones are definitely in this spirit stone vault, but we don't know where they've hidden them yet.
"Huh? Still here? But this is the end of the road, could it be underground?"
"Don't worry, how could the illusions of the Mo Yun Kingdom possibly stump me!" With that, he closed his eyes, activated his Heavenly Eye, and searched the vast Mo Ke Territory's spirit stone vault.
"There!" Bai Ke opened his eyes and pointed to the stone wall behind the boxes on the ground.
Upon hearing that Bai Ke had been found, the disciples became excited. Da Chuan, beaming with joy, couldn't wait to step forward and channel his inner energy into the stone wall. With a single swing, the stone wall shattered into pieces and collapsed with a deafening roar.
Next, what came into view was indeed a pile of high-grade spirit stones, gleaming with a soft, warm glow.
The crowd stepped forward with delight, their jaws dropping in astonishment at the sight of even more boxes of spirit stones than they had seen before.
"Listen up, everyone! Fill all your storage rings, storage bags, and spatial storage with spirit stones. Pack as many as you can. If we don't give this old man from Moyun Kingdom a good beating, we'll have wasted all the assassination attempts we've faced along the way!"
"Hahaha! Yes, ma'am!" Everyone hurriedly responded with laughter. Then, one by one, they began to busily fill the containers with spirit stones. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, everyone had almost finished filling their containers, but there were still some spirit stones left that they could not fill.
The group of people were quite satisfied as they retrieved their magical artifacts, which were filled with all their storage, and prepared to return.
"Everyone, hurry up and get ready. Those people from Moyun Kingdom should be arriving soon. We can't reveal our identities; we need to leave as soon as possible!"
The four of you, drag Lin Xiu and Ling Feng back with you. You two, go ahead and scout ahead to see if anyone's coming!
"You two cover the rear. Make sure they don't see any tokens or keepsakes we drop along the way. Keep a close eye on things and tidy them up."
"Yes, Senior Brother!" the disciples answered in unison.
Before long, they finally emerged from the main gate of the spirit stone warehouse. The group moved significantly faster out than they had come; just as they began their ascent down the mountain, people from the Mo Yun Kingdom arrived from the other direction and entered the spirit stone warehouse!
If Bai Ke and his group had arrived even a minute later, or if the people from Mo Yun Kingdom had arrived even a minute earlier, they might have ended up in a fierce battle!
On the way back, one of the disciples couldn't help but shout to Bai Ke with a happy expression, "Senior Brother, we robbed the spirit stone treasury of Moyun Kingdom today. I'm afraid the king will be furious when he finds out about this. It's hilarious!"
"Yes, yes! Does the King of Moyun Kingdom think that he can stump our senior brother by setting up an array or some kind of illusion? He really underestimates him."
"That's right, that's right! We owe it all to our senior brother today. If it weren't for him, we might not have been able to get these spirit stones. We might have ended up like senior brother Lin Xiu and Ling Feng!"
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, and even Bai Ke's lips curled into a rare, bright smile.
"Hey? What do you think we should do if the elders ask us when we get back? How should we answer? If he sees what Senior Brother Lin Xiu and Ling Feng look like, we probably won't be able to hide the fact that we robbed the spirit stone vault of Mo Yun Kingdom." A disciple suddenly asked worriedly.
Upon hearing this, the other disciples fell silent. Indeed, this was a thorny problem.
Seeing the thoughtful expressions on everyone's faces, Bai Ke couldn't help but laugh out loud. The disciples all looked at Bai Ke with curiosity.
"Senior Brother, aren't you worried? How can you still laugh now?"
"Haha, you're all too naive. Do you really think the elders were completely unaware of our coming out this time?"
The disciples were incredulous upon hearing Bai Ke's words, staring wide-eyed at him.
"Wh...what! Senior brother, you mean the elder knew about our operation this time? Then...how could he have approved our action?"
"Otherwise, the elder is such a shrewd person, we can't possibly keep it a secret. Besides, it would be strange if so many disciples disappeared without a trace!"
Since we left the Kingdom of Moyun, we've been assassinated countless times by their people. We haven't been able to eat or sleep well along the way. If we're this angry, what about the elder? He's not made of clay and has no temper.
Knowing that we wanted to teach that Lord Moyun a lesson, the elder naturally wouldn't disagree. However, given his status, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to openly turn a blind eye and watch us do this.
So, we can only pretend we don't know and turn a blind eye. You guys are really stupid! Do you really think the elders don't know anything? Actually, they know everything perfectly well!
