“Especially the Sea Market, the Thieves Are Most Likely There!”

"Why don't we sweep the entire Sea Market with our divine senses?" "Foolish! Sweeping the entire Sea Market with divine sense would cause far too much commotion! Are you eager to let the other races know we lost our supreme treasure? Take your men and split up. Sweep small areas!" "Remember, don't let outsiders find out what we're doing!" *** "Big Brother, we really pulled it off!" a shifty-eyed Body Integration True Monarch said excitedly. Even with a temperament hardened by the Body Integration stage, he couldn't suppress his thrill. Though the other two Body Integration True Monarchs didn't speak, their excitement and joy were clear in their eyes. A supreme treasure of the Dragon Clan! They wouldn't have to worry about cultivation resources for the rest of their lives, and they even had hope of advancing to the Tribulation Transcendence stage! "Keep calm. We've only succeeded halfway. Don't forget that the Sea Market we're in is still under Dragon Clan jurisdiction. Only by getting the supreme treasure out of the Sea Market will it count as a true success." The Body Integration True Monarch addressed as Big Brother was equally excited, but he was the eldest after all, possessing better composure than his subordinates. He knew this wasn't over, and it wasn't time to celebrate yet. "But Big Brother, this supreme treasure belongs to the Dragon Clan and can't be put into a storage ring. How are we going to get it out of the Sea Market?" another lackey asked worriedly. If it wasn't inside a storage ring, there was no guarantee it wouldn't be detected by the Dragon Clan's divine senses. "No matter. I already thought of a way long ago." Big Brother drew a magical treasure from his storage ring. "Look at this!" "A coffin?" the three lackeys cried out in surprise. Big Brother wore a solemn expression, still feeling a lingering fear whenever he recalled that scene. Lowering his voice, he recounted the history of how he had made his fortune: "That's right. Years ago, back when I was a tomb raider, I slipped into an ancient tomb. After a narrow brush with death, I finally reached the tomb's inner depths. Sadly, there were no burial goods in the burial chamber, and even the coffin was completely empty. I suspect the tomb's master had already achieved immortality through corpse deliverance!" "A thief never leaves empty-handed, so I respectfully hauled off this coffin!" "This coffin is quite the treasure. Even with divine senses at our Body Integration stage, we can't penetrate it!" The three lackeys gave it a try and found it was indeed true. "Are we going to put the supreme treasure inside the coffin and sneak it out by carrying the coffin?" The lackey thought Big Brother was truly worthy of being called Big Brother; he had considered everything so thoroughly. No matter what, the Dragon Clan wouldn't show such extreme disrespect to the deceased by prying open a coffin for inspection. Such an outrageous move would undoubtedly make people suspect that the Dragon Clan had lost something critically important. The Dragon Clan valued face and wouldn't do such a thing. "Yes, but it's not that simple. Carrying a coffin through the Sea Market is far too conspicuous and would draw the Dragon Clan's attention." "Then what do you mean, Big Brother?" "I have an acquaintance at the Falling Coin Chamber of Commerce and have already arranged it in advance. We'll check the coffin into the chamber of commerce for storage, and once the heat dies down, we'll retrieve it." "Furthermore, we need to disguise ourselves." Big Brother took four pills from his robes. "These are pills I bought on the Great Xia black market, produced by an alchemy master of the Dao Seeking Sect. It's said that consuming just one can temporarily lower your cultivation stage. All four of us are at the Body Integration stage. If the Dragon Clan investigates, they will definitely suspect Body Integration cultivators first. That would be dangerous. If we lower our realms, the Dragon Clan won't trace it to us!" "Big Brother is brilliant!" The three lackeys were ecstatic. Big Brother had planned for every contingency, his scheme airtight and every angle covered. *** "Excuse me, could we check a coffin into storage here?" Carrying a coffin on their shoulders, Lu Yang and his three companions entered the Falling Coin Chamber of Commerce and politely inquired.
