Martial Saint through Reading

Chapter 326: Chapter 267: Mountain and Sea Great Wilderness Scripture·Sea Scripture_3

Silently and stealthily, he almost took away most of the treasures from the master’s bed, leaving behind a Silver Moon Dart, while the master of the house was still snuggling with his wife, sleeping soundly.

The concealing technique was indeed excellent.

Chu Ming followed behind, not revealing himself.

After Zhuge Rui stole from this mansion, he continued to target two more officials’ residences, stealthily taking the treasures and leaving a Silver Moon Dart.

Then, carrying gold and silver, he hurried towards the north of the city.

Just as Chu Ming was wondering about the man’s intentions, the Sword Gourd Spirit detected a large number of dilapidated huts ahead.

On a cold night, several streets were filled with drafty, broken houses.

And inside, many people wearing tattered clothes were shivering on straw mats.

Next, Chu Ming saw Zhuge Rui tossing the stolen gold and silver into those broken houses one by one.

Clang, clang, clang—

The sound of gold and silver hitting the ground was very crisp.

The late autumn night was extremely cold, and those people were not asleep. Upon hearing the clinking sounds, they quickly climbed up to check.

"Silver! Silver!"

"Mother, there’s gold! There’s gold!"

"..."

After throwing out all the gold and silver, Zhuge Rui took a Silver Moon Dart and two ingots of silver from his person and tossed them into the poorest house.

"Dad... what is this?" A frail little hand picked up the Silver Moon Dart and silver, looking at it curiously.

The adult, initially excited, almost grabbed the silver from the little girl’s hand, but froze upon seeing the Silver Moon Dart.

"Silver Moon Dart... Silver Moon Thief..."

Outside the house.

Zhuge Rui glanced but did not linger, his figure blending back into the darkness, heading towards the east of the city.

"Silver Moon Thief?"

"Heroic Thief?"

Chu Ming silently followed behind.

After spreading out the gold and silver, Zhuge Rui again returned to the mansions he had pilfered earlier.

Entering the house, stealing treasures.

"Who?!"

He purposely made some noise.

"Master, it’s bad!"

"Silver Moon Thief! It’s the Silver Moon Thief!"

"..."

Almost all the mansions fell into chaos, with house servants and guards taking action...

Zhuge Rui stood in the dark, a mocking grin upon his lips.

Then his figure flashed, leaving the area.

...

Rainbow Jade Pavilion.

"What? The Silver Moon Thief appeared at Song County Governor’s house?"

"The Wang Family was also robbed by the Silver Moon Thief?"

"..."

Dai Yuanshu, stationed secretly near Rainbow Jade Pavilion, listened to his subordinate’s report with a furrowed brow.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

Dai Yuanshu glanced at Rainbow Jade Pavilion and waved his hand: "Return to the Commandery Mansion!"

He suspected this might be a ploy by the Silver Moon Thief to lure them away, but he had to go because the mansion housed more Crimson Beauty Leaves.

Although there are experts at the Meridian Unlocking Realm in the mansion, if the Silver Moon Thief succeeds, he would be hard-pressed to explain as the Governor’s Office.

One can choose not to catch the wrong person, but the attitude must not be wrong.

Dai Yuanshu took most of the men, leaving less than thirty behind, guarded by two Refining Organ Realm experts at Rainbow Jade Pavilion.

In another dark corner.

"Dai Yuanshu left," Blood Evil Sect’s Poison Fang said softly.

"Lucky for him," Blood Evil Sect’s Ghost replied in a low voice.

"Shouldn’t we take a look? The Silver Moon Thief might really be going to the mansion."

"No, the Silver Moon Thief won’t go. Making a big commotion elsewhere is just his usual trick."

"..."

"Hm? He’s here!"

As they spoke, the two hidden figures sensed someone entering Rainbow Cloud Pavilion.

"Such a brilliant concealing technique."

The sensing came and went in a flash; they couldn’t spot a single person from beginning to end.

"No wonder the Silver Moon Thief is renowned, with such a concealing technique, it’s difficult for ordinary Meridian Unlocking Realm experts to detect him."

"However... no matter how great the concealing technique, he won’t escape tonight."

"..."

On the rooftop a block away from Rainbow Jade Pavilion, Chu Ming stood under the moonlight.

"Two Late Stage Meridian Unlocking Realm members from the Blood Evil Sect, and two other Late Stage Meridian Unlocking experts hidden inside Rainbow Jade Pavilion..."

Having followed the Silver Moon Thief here, the Sword Gourd Spirit had already detected the unusual situation at Rainbow Jade Pavilion.

With four Late Stage Meridian Unlocking experts lying in wait, tonight the Silver Moon Thief is likely...

Inside Rainbow Jade Pavilion.

Silver Moon Thief Zhuge Rui concealed himself in shadows, silently moving in and out of rooms searching for Crimson Beauty Leaves.

After searching five rooms, he arrived at a room in the back of the pavilion, entering it to find a dazzling array of jewels.

At the same time, in the room adjacent to the treasure trove.

"He’s here."

In the darkness, Martial Immortal Alliance’s Guo Xiang and Han Yong had their eyes fixed.

"Shall we act?"

"Not yet, wait until he gets the Crimson Beauty Leaves; this way, there’s no chance of failure."

"..."

Inside the treasure trove.

Silver Moon Thief Zhuge Rui efficiently searched.

Suddenly.

Crimson Beauty Leaf!

Upon opening a jade box, his face immediately lit up with delight.

After securing the jade box and leaving a Silver Moon Dart, he turned to leave.

But just then.

"Silver Moon Thief!"

Two figures suddenly appeared, blocking his path.

As his expression changed, Zhuge Rui’s body transformed into an afterimage, climbing walls and escaping rooftop, vanishing with a speed difficult to capture with the naked eye.

"Such speed!"

Martial Immortal Alliance’s Guo Xiang and Han Yong hurriedly chased.

Two breaths later.

"Quick, chase!"

On the street opposite Rainbow Jade Pavilion, Blood Evil Sect’s Ghost and Poison Fang also rushed to the pursuit.

Under the moonlight, one fleeing ahead, chased by pairs from either side.

"It’s Blood Evil Sect!"

Martial Immortal Alliance unmistakably sensed the presence of the two from Blood Evil Sect.

"Should we keep chasing?"

"Chase!"

"Notify others!"

"..."

On the other side, Blood Evil Sect.

"Those two scholars indeed have problems!"

"So what if they have problems? Tonight, they’ll all perish!"

"..."

Ahead.

Silver Moon Thief Zhuge Rui’s face was indifferent, yet a hint of a smile played at his lips.

The pursuers accelerated, so he accelerated, constantly maintaining a speed that kept him out of reach, making directly for the city outskirts.
