CHAPTER 232: CHAPTER 206: VITALITY SEVERED, HEAVEN’S MECHANISM CHANGED

"Speak quickly, don’t stammer."

The First Madam frowned, displeased that the Second Madam was still speaking hesitantly at this time.

"Eldest Sister, at night when you sleep, sometimes... sometimes you talk... talk in your sleep."

"Talk in my sleep?"

"What’s the big deal about talking in my sleep."

"When you talk in your sleep, you reveal some hidden secrets in your heart... including how to enter the treasure vault."

"What!!!"

The First Madam suddenly turned around, looking at the Second Madam and Third Madam beside her?

"I even reveal this secret while talking in my sleep?"

The Second Madam nodded cautiously.

The Third Madam, seeing the First Madam’s gaze turn to her, also lowered her head in agreement.

"So... so... you both know how to enter the treasure vault?"

The First Madam asked loudly.

"Yes, yes."

"Not only us, but basically all the maids in the rear courtyard also know."

"This..."

The First Madam kept thinking about this, something she had never realized.

If everything was normal, then naturally, there would be no issue.

Not to mention that she liked to talk in her sleep, even if she opened the treasure vault’s main gate, with Hang Tang in charge, no ruffians would dare act recklessly.

But now, since their husband Hang Tang is out on business, and the Star Generals each have their own Spiritual Secret Skills, it would be all too easy to find out how to enter the treasure vault from the mansion.

As long as they find her personal maid and use a Spiritual Secret Skill, they could get this information.

"This is not good, quickly go check the treasure vault."

The First Madam had no time to think about these things and hurriedly ran towards her room.

The treasure vault of Hang Tang has only this one entrance.

If it is really as the Qingmu Clan’s Three Star Generals said, preempted by someone else, then the First Madam would unhesitatingly take full responsibility.

A group of people came to the First Madam’s room, opened the mechanism beneath the bed, and jumped in one by one.

Lu Lin waited for a long time, finally hearing that there was no more movement, just preparing to come out.

"Eldest Sister, are you all right?"

"I’m fine, let’s go check the treasure vault first."

The First Madam, anxious beyond measure.

This treasure vault contains treasures regarded as life itself by Hang Tang. Every time he goes out, worried about any unexpected actions, he takes the treasures out of the Storage Ring and places them in the treasure vault.

Those Star Crystals and star coins are not a big deal, losing them would just mean losing them.

The key is that piece of flesh.

The First Madam moved with the speed of wind, arriving outside the treasure vault, seeing the memory gate mostly destroyed and taken away by Qing Yu, and the empty appearance inside the vault, she suddenly screamed and fainted, rolling her eyes.

The Second Madam and Third Madam hurriedly supported her, looking at the empty treasure vault in sheer terror.

Though they had never been here before, the scene in front of them confirmed the vault had indeed been raided.

"Quick, use the Message Conch to contact my husband."

The Third Madam anxiously said.

"Alright."

The Second Madam took out the Message Conch, trying to reach Hang Tang, but for some reason, the Message Conch couldn’t connect to Hang Tang far away.

"Second Sister, what are we going to do?"

The Third Madam, in a panic, helplessly asked the Second Madam.

"Under the current circumstances, the only thing left is..."

The Second Madam, gritting her teeth, said determinedly, "Under the current circumstances, the only thing left is to report this matter to Father-in-law. With my husband away, the mansion needs someone to take charge."

"Alright, let’s quickly find Father-in-law to explain this matter."

"Tonight, the Qingmu Clan’s Three Star Generals visited, such a major event, if Father-in-law didn’t show up, he must be cultivating at the ancestral house, we should be careful as we go."

The two said as they talked, supporting the First Madam as they gradually left.

Lu Lin listened until the voices disappeared before emerging from the Swamp.

His entire body was covered in a black, foul-smelling layer of mud.

Just now, when the Qing Yu Star General came, Lu Lin wanted to run, but he knew that no matter how fast he was, he couldn’t escape the pursuit of the Qing Yu Star General.

In desperation, he released the Swamp, hiding himself inside.

Unexpectedly, the Qing Yu Star General later released so many tendrils to search for Lu Lin’s whereabouts, nearly suffocating him in the Swamp.

Although he had already reached the Fourth Level Star Body Realm, he could still only hold his breath for so long.

But what exactly was that piece of flesh that attracted the Qingmu Clan’s Star Generals to seize the opportunity to steal it?

Lu Lin dared not think much more, shook off the mud, and restored the ground, cautiously walking out of the treasure vault.

Buzz.

Just as he stepped out of the treasure vault, a tremor came from behind, and as Lu Lin turned to look, the Star Array inside the treasure vault had been reactivated.

It seemed that the Second Madam also rushed back to activate the Star Power Array.

That was close.

Lu Lin went to the spot under the floor in the First Madam’s room, sensing no one around, he then emerged from the entrance.

The First Madam fainted, the Second Madam activated the Star Power Array, and the Third Madam went to report to "Father-in-law", thus the First Madam’s room was the safest place for the moment.

Lu Lin, deducing a bit, then got out from under the bed.

Following a narrow path, he climbed the wall and left the City Lord’s Mansion.

The experiences of tonight, even for Lu Lin who had been through many things on the Exotic Battlefield, still felt thrilling and intense.

Steal and escape, without letting the owner know who the thief was.

Moreover, the visit by the Qingmu Clan’s Three Star Generals could further divert Hang Tang’s attention for Lu Lin.

Lu Lin was fearful of being discovered, so he ran around Hang Tang City three or four times, entered dozens of seemingly good mansions, then ran outside the city, jumped into the river to take a bath, changed into a new set of clothes, and finally concealed his figure to return to Tian Da Mansion.

"Master, you’re back?"

"Is everything going smoothly?"

Just as he entered the room door, Lu Lin heard Tian Dayin’s voice, startling him so much that he almost jumped.

"Oh, it’s you. Why are you up so late, waiting here for me instead of sleeping?"

Lu Lin exchanged a few words with her and took out three bottles of elixir from the Storage Ring and asked, "Which of these is the Lifeless Elixir?"

Tian Dayin carefully examined them and pointed at one bottle, saying, "This is the Lifeless Elixir. Give it to him and no one will be able to trace your whereabouts."

"The other two are the Terminal Life Pill and Borrowed Life Pill, which also have very specific..."

Tian Dayin hadn’t finished speaking when Lu Lin collected the other two elixir bottles.

Stepping to the bed, he dragged the Saint from under the bed and fed him a Lifeless Elixir.

"Tian Dayin, what are the effects of the Lifeless Elixir?"

"Master, the Lifeless Elixir is an elixir that puts a person into a state of false death."

"This false death is not only physiological, but also leaves no trace in the Heaven’s Mechanism predictions."

"However, once another Borrowed Life Pill is consumed, the person in false death will recover."

So that’s how it is.

Lu Lin nodded. These past two days while on the run, he had tried his best to cover his tracks, but was still quickly found.

Lu Lin knew that those pursuing him behind him definitely had some tracking methods, but he didn’t know it was using Heaven’s Mechanism predictions.

After the Saint took the Lifeless Elixir, he almost immediately stopped breathing, and his heart ceased to beat, his entire body quickly turning cold and hard.

Lu Lin reached out, put him into the Storage Ring.

Now, he was completely relieved.

Anything stored in the Storage Ring could not be deduced; Lu Lin had known this since guiding the Gao Brothers with Star Skills before.

So, having eliminated a major worry, Lu Lin only needed to leave the city and meet up with Bai Buyi and the others to smoothly return to Food God City.

Thinking of this, Lu Lin relaxed completely.

"Master, let’s leave together as soon as the day dawns."

"I’ve long wanted to visit the Human Federation."

"I heard that even ordinary people with no cultivation levels can live safely there, right?"

Tian Dayin asked expectantly, but Lu Lin felt something was strange.

She was obviously a cute and understanding girl who knew people’s minds, yet Tian Dayun spoke as if she was notorious.

And claimed she had a violent temperament, which Lu Lin could not see at all.

"Master, those are just performances I show to others. But can you tell me about the Human Federation?"

"No."

Lu Lin’s face turned cold. He really didn’t like a little maid who could "hear" his inner thoughts at any time, no matter how beautiful or cute.

"Go back to sleep; early tomorrow morning..."

Lu Lin spoke and suddenly paused.

He sensed someone walking into the Tian Da family’s courtyard from outside.

Lu Lin instinctively picked up the broken knife and cautiously approached the door to sense it.

Who could it be?

"Master, don’t worry, it’s my sister, Tian Dalan."

"This person must have just returned from a banquet held by Hang Ai or others."

"Hmph, if not for father’s rule that unmarried women cannot stay out overnight, this seemingly dignified woman would have been famed in surrounding cities, becoming a known social butterfly."

Tian Dayin said unhappily, Lu Lin remained silent.

During such a critical moment, he had to be extremely cautious, not allowing any mistakes.

Sure enough, as Tian Dayin said, the woman who suddenly entered the courtyard scarcely paused and headed straight to the second floor, closing her room door to rest.

"Alright, you go back too, tomorrow morning, we’ll do this and that, then I’ll leave the city first, and you catch up later."

"Okay, I’ll follow everything Master says."

Tian Dayin replied happily, then suddenly her eyes glimmered.

"Then, can I sleep with Master tonight?"

Huh?

Lu Lin subconsciously swallowed, waved his hand, "Go, to your room."

...

At this moment, in a cave some 200 kilometers from Hang Tang City, several Alien Race suddenly awoke from sleep.

"Not good, the Saint’s aura has disappeared."

"Quick, hurry to Hang Tang. We’ve received orders, failing to find the Saint means death for all of us."

"What’s going on? The Saint’s information is eternally enduring, so why did it suddenly vanish?"

"Enough talk, hurry up. We must aim to find the Saint’s information before Hang Tang opens the city gate tomorrow morning."

"Or we really will die."

The few discussed this, waking the various tribe Martial Artist leaders under them, driving them to Hang Tang overnight, while they teleported directly.

...

In Food God City.

Li Qingyun, who was meditating and adjusting her breath, suddenly shivered and slowly opened her eyes.

This situation was rare, typically only occurring when there was an enormous change in the outcomes she deduced.

Li Qingyun recalled her recent predictions, which seemed all related to Lu Lin.

Of course, these were requests made by Xing Fang.

For instance, Lu Lin’s current location, the best place to rendezvous with him... and other things.

Could it be there was another issue with Lu Lin?

Li Qingyun closed her eyes again, her fingers forming seals one by one.
