Chapter 466 - 462: Thieves!

Chapter 466 - 462: Thieves!

Grand Priestess Si De’s expression was amongst the first whose expressions twisted, filled with horror, disbelief, and shock. She, alongside several other figures, shot towards the opening with extraordinary swiftness. Most were caught off-guard by Wei Wuyin’s words, unsure how to react.

Those who were Timelords were the first to react, so including Grand Priestess Si De, Ai Yin, and Hu Ran, the others from the Scorched Skies, Noxious Seas, and the Zephyr Plains had simultaneously acted. They blurred, zipping past Wei Wuyin with unprecedented speed.

The others that might’ve acted to stop them before were stunned, their hearts beating with anticipation. A few prayed that Wei Wuyin’s words were false. Yet after a few seconds, the Timelords exited. Their hearts sunk as the dark, enraged, and accusatory expressions painted these powerhouses’ faces.

"WHO?!" Grand Priestess Si De roared, her aura erupting fiercely with killing intent. While Wei Wuyin might’ve decided to trade the resources, he was trading them, not losing everything for nothing. Now, there was nothing.

The other Timelords deeply frowned, looking at Wei Wuyin.

Feeling the gazes on him, Wei Wuyin’s expression became unfathomably dark. Before he could even respond, Ai Yin spoke up.

"The Holy Son of Grand Earth swore a tightly sealed oath. He nor any of us from the Desolate Lands had entered the Grand Earth Cache prior to today. Furthermore, do you all truly not know the movements of the Holy Son? Not trust that your men were watching dutifully? Could they have missed that sky piercing light?" Ai Yin was calm, standing beside Wei Wuyin protectively.

Regardless if the cache was empty or not, Wei Wuyin’s safety was paramount. He carried the Holy Bloodline.

The others recalled Wei Wuyin’s path. Furthermore, he wore no spatial rings or objects with spatial fluctuations. To add, he was only inside for a few seconds yet the space inside was impossibly huge. They couldn’t imagine how much was contained within or how many objects that couldn’t be stored inside normal spatial rings. Their hearts groaned in pain, twisted in a sense of loss and rage.

The entire crowd was stunned, unable to believe it. Was this real or was this an orchestrated act? A few didn’t believe it, testing their luck as they shot into the opening. The Timelords didn’t stop them, allowing them to confirm it with their own eyes.

One by one, experts went in and came out with dejected expressions twisted with anger and accusatory glances. They experienced the same emotions as the Timelords.

Who was it?!

The Holy Clans’ Envoys were silently watching, similarly shocked by these baffling events. But one of the Lei Clan’s Envoys was particularly ill-at-ease. Wei Wuyin was staring at him with a vicious glare and didn’t move his gaze away. This started to attract others’ attention.

Grand Priestess Si De’s aura soon settled. She had no direction for her rage, so she could only calm down, much to her dissatisfaction. She wanted to vent. Those sightless eyes of hers went to Wei Wuyin, and when she noticed his glare, she followed his gaze to the skittish Lei Clan Envoy.

Why was he staring at them like that?

The others caught on too.

In fact, the moment Wei Wuyin exited the opening, his eyes were fixated on that particular member. The other Lei Clan Envoy frowned, he questioned: "Do you have an issue, Holy Son of Grand Earth?"

Due to the presence of multiple Holy Sons, and the fact that Wei Wuyin held the Earth Element Badge of Divinity, he was referred to by this title.

If someone were to act against him, it would only be the Holy Clans, and the only Holy Clan with ill-intent was the Lei Clan! They weren’t idiots.

"You don’t understand? Then let me explain!" Wei Wuyin said with a growl, turning to the Lei Clan Envoy that he attacked. "You must truly be stupid. You stole the things that had my Holy Bloodline Mark on them? Things that BELONGS TO ME, and YOU expect ME not to notice while carrying it? Do I look incapable or are you just a fucking idiot!" His rage was pure, his emotions felt genuine.

That Lei Clan Envoy was startled into a panic, uncertain what Wei Wuyin meant. Stole? Holy Bloodline Mark? When? What?

Then he recalled Wei Wuyin’s demand to check his Spatial Ring, how he was staring at him from the beginning. The others present recalled this too, they were suspicious now and sought a clear explanation.

Grand Priestess Si De asked, "Are you saying the Lei Clan stole the cache contents?!" Her words were like a white flash to everyone’s minds. Was it true?!

Wei Wuyin didn’t answer. Instead, he took out the Earth Element Badge of Divinity and a piercing light shot into the sky. The crowd’s eyes followed it, then the light shot down and engulfed the Lei Clan Envoy before he could react.

"Thieves!" Wei Wuyin shouted while pointing his finger, trembling from his apparent rage.

"Impossible! We’ve never taken anything from the Grand Earth Cache!" The Lei Clan Envoy was terrified. This was a heavy, incredibly heavy accusation being lobbied by a Holy Son! If they stole it and their identities were hidden, then there was no issue, but if they were found out? The trouble...

"Liars!" Someone amongst the crowd who hated the Lei Clan raged with a booming shout empowered by spiritual force. He poured fuel to the blazing suspicions.

"The Lei Clan are a bunch of thieves! They stole from right under our noses! The treasures were very recently taken, not even a few days ago!" Someone shouted amongst the Timelords, having scanned the time energies of the cache room. Of course, this was all manipulated by a certain someone, but it was verified by other Timelords. If the time energies of recent arrivals was truly studied, it would be shortly after Wei Wuyin announced opening it up to everyone!

Since Wei Wuyin swore an oath that he’d never entered nor any of the Desolate Lands individuals, then that only left outsiders! And the only ones who have the gall to do something outright defying religious principles and morality, such as stealing from their own Divinities, were those who felt themselves above all the other inhabitants of their world!

The Holy Clans!

"We didn’t steal anything!" The Lei Clan Envoys shouted in panic as they proclaimed their innocence, seeing the murderous gazes targeted towards them.

Hu Ran’s dark, imposing voice resounded. "Then, let us see the contents of your spatial ring!" As a member of the Desolate Lands, and a human, he already felt entitled to the Grand Earth Cache, so his expression was the most violent.

The Lei Clan Envoy was about to agree when he recalled the still shining light engulfing him, a feeling of uncertainty emerged in his heart. What if he had an item with the Grand Earth Holy Bloodline Mark? What if he had just a single item?

Where would the rest be? Where could the rest of it be?

His expression grew uglier and uglier.

Even if the Lei Clan didn’t have it...

He gulped heavily, uncertain what to do.

Before he could decide what to do, or figure out the suspicious points, Wei Wuyin’s demanding voice exploded!

"They wish to escape! SURROUND THEM!!!"
