Chapter 727 Inside Zhu Mansion.

?Shi Lang held the armor and inspected it carefully. He sighed again and again before he looked at Old Man Pie, "Elder, your prowess has made me know fear."

Old Man Pie smiled as he waved his hand. The old man was not just a namesake. He said, "Young Man, I hope you know that your compliment will not pay the bill. Don't think I am cruel, but trade is never free. I did not work so hard for all my life to give away my effort to youths like you."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "I agree with your words. Do not worry. I will be back with good news. However, please try not to make things seem obvious to the Zhu Family."

Yang Tie nodded and said, "You do not need to worry, Young Master. We also know we will have to face the Titan Sect if the news is connected to us."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Now, you do not have to worry, but if you hear nothing from me for a few days, do not worry. As for your payment, Senior Pie, I will get it for you quickly."

...

Shi Lang geared up and used the dark veil of night. He ventured near the Zhu Family mansion. He used no spiritual ability, whether in a void tunnel or flying in. He came directly to the mansion's walls with his spiritual energy hidden. He could not get things done the easy way this time around.

If he moves through the mansion with his spiritual energy flowing out of his body, it will be detected by the guards. If that happened, he would be dead without any remains left behind. Shi Lang took a deep breath and channeled his spiritual energy into the armor pieces he had worn.

The terran made the armor plates as thin as possible and wrapped them on his body to hide it completely. Another thing he did was to engrave his clothes with a complex network of Illusion arrays. He did this to attain a camouflage effect and trick the low-level tools moving around in the mansion as guards.

Shi Lang jumped high and stood on the mansion wall. He did not go to the other side directly. It was not good and wise of him; this was enemy territory. He channeled spiritual energy in his eyes to find if there were any traps implanted in the place.

After ensuring things were fine, Shi Lang jumped off and landed in the mansion's boundaries.

...

This confirmed that the Zhu Family was up to something for sure. Otherwise, they did not seem to have any reason to run such probes. They must have something to hide and to protect.

Shi Lang took a deep breath as he ventured deep inside the mansion. His speed was smooth, and he was very careful in his actions. It had been three hours since he started to move deeper inside the mansion. Now, the pressure on his psyche was accumulating slowly.

The Terran had discovered the structural anomalies in many spots inside the Mansion. However, he was not in the mood to check if these spots were treasure lodes or death traps. He moved forward with one goal. Being a scavenger was not easy.

He needed to maintain focus on his goals. People who search for treasures should focus on goals they had decided upon earlier. The more they tried to gain, the more they gave in greed. The more they were prone to dying early.

The only trouble Shi Lang had to face now was to distract the expert guarding the treasure trove. Zhu's family was very secretive. Their family vault was in the center of the mansion, and right above it was the sleeping chamber of the family's ancestor.

Usually, no one would go to that place because the Zhu Family had strict instructions not to disturb the ancestor from his cultivation. The ancestor was in a state of half-death. He was an Immortal Emperor at the top of his realm. He could not reach the realm of a Sovereign.

This old corpse had one breath left in him. He could only make one attack, which would be the family's trump card to defend them. Shi Lang did not wish to fight with this person either because, other than this guy, they had a few more Immortal Emperors.

Shi Lang had another plan. He would be using another tactic to deflect these things. He located Zhu Lin, his enemy. The terran neared the room, where he sensed Zhu Lin cultivating. Shi Lang spotted a guard standing out of the door. He looked inside the room and found things to be different than what they appeared to be.

Zhu Lin was having a good time with a couple of women. Shi Lang moved closer to the guard outside the door and took out his knife to directly slash at his neck. The guard did not have any time to react at all. Shi Lang cut the throat of the guard and shoved him inside the inheritance palace.

Then, he slowly opened the door of the room and entered inside. Zhu Lin was banging two women, and his face was the epitome of euphoria. Shi Lang walked closer and made sure to keep his footsteps mute. He took out two needles from his space ring and flung them at the two ladies.

The women instantly fell silent, and Shi Lang appeared behind him before Zhu Lin could react. His fist dug into the spine of Third Young Master Zhu, disabling his body and also the cultivation.

Shi Lang did not wait anymore. He left the room quickly, leaving Zhu Lin wailing on the cold floor of his room. The Zhu Mansion was instantly alerted, and Shi Lang steered clear of the chaos.

His goal was to find the Emeris. That was likely to be found under the possession of the Ancestors. The family reacted, and someone noticed Zhu Lin and cried, "Third Young Master has been attacked!!!"

The elders of the family rushed forward, and a loud voice echoed in the void, "Who the fuck dares to act so arrogant in Zhu Mansion?"

The shout was so loud that it echoed throughout the entire city.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
