Chapter 831: Gatekeeper
“Is there anything else I need to pay attention to besides the Origin Annihilating Divine Wind Array?” Ye Qing asked.
“N-No,” the purple-robed man stuttered out while wiping the sweat on his forehead.
Ye Qing shot him a strange look but did not say anything further. A black fish and a white fish appeared around him, and he began walking toward the Dragon Radiance Pavilion.
Whoosh whoosh...
As soon as he stepped into the range of the array, gusts of clear wind blew toward him. It looked gentle, but it contained enough power to annihilate every speck of origin energy in the air. Even Ye Qing’s astral qi was straining to maintain its integrity.
Origin Annihilating Divine Wind, huh? A fitting name, Ye Qing thought to himself. No wonder no one had tried to slip into the treasury and steal everything despite Duanmu Longhua’s death. Not that he was complaining.
Ye Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and brought down his foot. Wind and thunder could rage within one meter of space; one stomp could shake the nine provinces.
Bang!
The ground shook, and the array flickered erratically from the mighty stomp. Ye Qing heard something shattering into pieces like clay, and the Origin Annihilating Divine Wind blowing against his defenses disappeared just like that.
Ye Qing did not pause to admire his work. After crushing the Origin Annihilating Divine Wind Array in one stomp, he immediately started walking toward the Dragon Radiance Pavilion.
Behind Ye Qing, the purple-robed man swallowed audibly while staring at his back. He knew better than anyone just how deadly Origin Annihilating Divine Wind was, so the fact that Ye Qing had crushed it in one stomp only deepened his despair.
No! I still have a chance!
A flash of hope appeared in the purple-robed man’s eyes while Ye Qing was pushing open the door.
The second the large doors creaked open, the door god portraits plastered on their surface abruptly came to life. A door god wielding twin truncheons swung its weapon at Ye Qing’s head, whereas another door god sent the dragon-serpent on its shoulders toward Ye Qing’s abdomen.
The falling truncheons made a loud whipping noise that resembled thunder.
His head had exploded in a shower of blood and brain matter.
At the entrance to the Dragon Radiance Pavilion, Ye Qing was clutching a Gatekeeper’s neck with his right hand and stepping on another. Not even bothering to look at the purple-robed man behind his back, he slowly lowered his left hand and injected a bit more strength into his limbs. Both Gatekeepers ceased living there and then.
From the moment he caught the purple-robed man, he had already planted a demonic seed in his mind. Had he done everything he asked and obeyed him to the letter, he would not have minded letting him live. Unfortunately, the purple-robed man overthought things and tried to trick him. From that point onward, mercy was off the table. His schemes were all for naught.
After killing the two Gatekeepers, Ye Qing took his time to scan his surroundings carefully with his demonic thought. After he confirmed that there was no danger, he finally stepped inside the Dragon Radiance Pavilion.
The treasury looked quite ordinary from the outside, but the inside was a completely different story. The interior was lavishly decorated and filled with all sorts of treasures.
“It was worth it!” Ye Qing whispered to himself as if it wasn’t the understatement of the week. His eyes glittered with greed as he stared at the treasure hoard.
Goddess City might not be a big sect with over a thousand years of history, but they were an average sect with centuries of history. The gold, silver, and jewelry needed not be mentioned, the Strange Artifacts and martial arts manuals alone numbered in the hundreds. As for the pills and random treasures, they were literally innumerable. Their shine was so bright he almost felt blinded by them.
As a member of the Pacification Bureau, he had seen all kinds of treasures. He thought that his horizon was broader than most as well. Even so, the magnificent sight before his eyes still stunned him deeply.
More importantly, these treasures were all his now. All his! To say that he was excited would be an understatement!
A few breaths later, Ye Qing finally calmed down enough to start shoving the treasures into his Nine Heavens. He did not even miss out on the racks, shelves, and boxes. Why? Let’s just say that it was way easier and faster this way.
That said, there were only so many treasures he could carry. Not even Nine Heavens could store everything within the vault, so he could only steal the valuable stuff. He supposed he didn’t mind leaving the ordinary treasures to their destined ones.
“Now this is what I call a first-world problem!” Ye Qing sighed happily while making his way deeper into the vault.
“Hmm?”
Ye Qing had just entered the area where the Strange Artifacts were stored when suddenly, his Profound Yellow Mother Qi started stirring without warning.
