Suddenly, Lu Yu withdrew his palm, and the sand barrier returned to its original state.

He glanced at the Ice Jade Fragment and continued to advance into the interior of the sand vault. It wasn't that he gave up on this Ice Jade Fragment; he wanted to see if there was a ninth fragment inside the sand vault.

Before long, Lu Yu returned to the place where the Ice Jade Fragment was located. There were no other fragments in the sand vault.

At that moment, without any hesitation, he punched forward, breaking through the tough sand barrier, and grabbed the Ice Jade Fragment.

The moment he grasped the Ice Jade Fragment, Lu Yu once again felt the long-lost chill. This fragment felt like a piece of ice that would never melt, cold to the bone.

Beeeep~~~ An urgent alarm sounded in the Sand King Hall, and the two guards stationed at the entrance of the sand vault nervously gripped their weapons, not understanding where the alarm was coming from or where the enemy was.

After all, the treasures in the sand vault had been forcibly taken. This had never happened since the establishment of the Sand King Hall for so many years, so it was normal for the guards of the Sand King Hall who were securing the sand vault to not know that the alarm indicated an attack on the sand vault.

Swish~ The sand door opened, and Lu Yu walked out from within. The two guards saw Lu Yu and quickly saluted.

Lu Yu glanced at the two of them and found that they seemed unaware that he had triggered the alarm, so he ignored them and quickly headed toward the exit of the Sand King Hall.

"All Sand Envoys, take note, Sha Wujue has taken treasures from the sand vault without permission. From now on, revoke Sha Wujue's Sand Envoy status. All Sand Envoys pursue Sha Wujue and reclaim the lost treasure."

A voice reached the ears of many Sand Envoys, except for Lu Yu.

Because he was not a genuine Sand Envoy, he naturally could not receive the speaker's message.

"Sha Wujue stole treasures from the sand vault?" Sha Tong listened to the voice in his mind with disbelief, but this voice was from the great High Priest Shaqian.

Sha E'luoyi was sitting in his room drinking when he heard this voice. He froze, dropped his wine bowl, and drank all the liquor in the jug in one go.

Clang~ The wine jug fell to the ground, and Sha E'luoyi strode out of the room, heading towards the exit of the Sand King Hall.

Many Sand Envoys temporarily set aside non-urgent matters and began to converge in the direction of Sha Wujue.

Lu Yu reached the exit of the Sand King Hall, finding it already sealed off. The exit was blocked by sand, and a large number of Sand King Hall members, including many Sand Envoys, guarded the exit.

Thud thud thud~ Heavy footsteps echoed as the massive figure of Sha E'luoyi appeared in the corridor. In a deep voice, he said, "Sha Wujue, stop! What could possibly be worth betraying the High Priest's trust?"

"Why? Why would you do this?" Sha Tong appeared on the other side, loudly questioning Lu Yu. He didn't understand why Sha Wujue would do such a thing.

"Surrender! There's no way you can leave here," a Sand Envoy with two long feathers in his hair said as he approached Lu Yu.

They hadn't yet activated their internal powers because they didn't sense that "Sha Wujue" had activated such power, believing that Sha Wujue didn't want a fight to the death.

Seeing the crowd getting closer and closer, a smile appeared on Lu Yu's face beneath his headscarf. These people were too arrogant, daring to approach him without any precautions.

Just as he was about to take a few people hostage, someone appeared in the crowd's view, shouting loudly, "He's not Sha Wujue! He's an intruder!"

"The real Sha Wujue is already dead!" Sha Lan shouted.

The crowd was stunned, and Lu Yu sprang into action.
