Chapter 514 Senior and Junior Brothers Join Forces to Rob the Wanbao Pavilion
Upon hearing this, Daoist Xingchen was speechless.
Qinghe Daoren gloated, "Did you hear that, brat? You stay here and watch the house. I'm taking the kids out to play."
"you!"
The Starry Sky Taoist was so angry that his beard stood on end.
But Shen Rugo's words made perfect sense, and he couldn't refute them at all. He could only reluctantly remind them, "Then be careful and come back soon."
"understood."
Shen Rugo waved her hand and slowly guided the warship into the air.
The protective mountain formation opened a gap at the right moment, and the warship transformed into a streak of light, instantly disappearing into the horizon.
Daoist Xingchen stood alone in the plaza, gazing at the empty sky, shaking his head with a wry smile: "These little brats..."
Inside the Myriad Realms Dragon Warship.
Everyone was extremely excited.
Chen Tianba and Xiao Qiushui were touching and exploring everything in the control cabin, curious about everything; Ye Xinghe and Lu Haoran were huddled together, studying the array runes on the warship; Xiao Changkong was sitting cross-legged in a corner of the deck, closing his eyes and regulating his breathing.
Qinghe Daoist sat down next to Shen Rugo and asked with a smile, "Rugo, what is the plan this time?"
Shen Rugo pointed to the map spread out in front of her, a sly glint in her eyes: "There are eighty-eight large branches of the Wanbaoge in the Western Regions, distributed across eighty-eight major cities. I already robbed five last time, and this time my target is seven more, these seven."
Upon arriving in a city, they would act swiftly and decisively, looting and leaving immediately.
"My little ancestor, so you had this all planned out all along!"
Qinghe Daoren couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"That's for sure. If you're going to rob someone, you have to have a plan and be prepared."
Shen Rugo paused, then added, "Moreover, the speed of the Myriad Realms Dragon is unmatched in the entire Western Regions. Furthermore, I've set up an illusion array on the warship, which can change its shape at will, so no one can recognize it as the treasure of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion."
Before she finished speaking, she continued, "In addition, everyone must disguise themselves and absolutely cannot reveal their identities."
As she spoke, she took out a stack of human skin masks and distributed them to everyone.
The moment the masks were put on, everyone's appearance was completely transformed.
Xiao Changkong became a cold and aloof middle-aged swordsman, Ye Xinghe transformed into a gentle and refined scholar, Lu Haoran became an honest and simple young man, and Chen Tianba and Xiao Qiushui became two fierce and ruthless men.
The Taoist priest of Qinghe was even more amazing; he transformed himself into an old man with white hair.
Shen Rugo herself became an ordinary-looking girl.
"From now on, my name is Shen Qi," Shen Rugo said in a deep voice.
"You should all use aliases. Remember, we are the Seven Star Thieves, a group of independent cultivators who specialize in robbing the Wanbao Pavilion."
"Seven Star Thieves?" Chen Tianba's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh in approval. "That's a powerful name! I love it!"
"Alright, our first target is Crimson Fire City in the Western Regions, which is 350,000 li away from here."
Shen Rugo said no more, and steered the warship to change direction, speeding westward.
Three days later, Crimsonfire City came into view.
This is an extremely prosperous city, teeming with cultivators and lined with shops.
The Wanbaoge branch is located in the city center, in a seven-story building that is magnificent and imposing.
It was early afternoon, and the branch was bustling with people; business was booming.
No one noticed that an inconspicuous blue flying boat was quietly approaching in the sky.
On the flying boat, Shen Rugo and the others were already poised to set off.
"Follow the plan."
Shen Rugo lowered her voice and gave the order.
"understand!"
Everyone echoed in agreement, and everyone was excited, especially Chen Tianba and Xiao Qiushui, who were almost shouting and yelling. They had never done anything like this before.
"action!"
The moment the words fell, the cyan flying boat suddenly accelerated, crashing into the roof of the Wanbaoge branch like a sharp arrow.
"boom!"
With a loud crash, a large hole was smashed through the roof of the pavilion, and the flying boat, carrying a strong gust of wind, rushed straight into it.
"who?!"
The guards in the branch were immediately alarmed and took out their magical weapons to stop them.
Before they could react, two fierce-looking burly men leaped off the airship, one wielding a sledgehammer and the other a long knife, smashing anyone they saw and robbing anything they could find.
"Robbery! Everyone, put your hands on your heads and squat down! Anyone who disobeys will die!" Chen Tianba roared, and his sledgehammer crashed down, smashing a counter full of treasures.
Xiao Qiushui was even more ruthless. With a swing of her longsword, sharp blade energy shot out in all directions, instantly sending more than a dozen guards flying.
Chaos erupted in an instant.
Customers screamed and fled out the door, while the guards desperately tried to stop them.
However, Chen Tianba and Xiao Qiushui were both at the late Golden Core stage and possessed top-grade magic treasures given to them by Shen Rugo. How could these guards possibly be a match for them?
In just a short while, the first floor was completely cleared out.
Ye Xinghe and Lu Haoran stood guard at the entrance. One set up a sword formation, and the other activated a trapping formation. The two formations intertwined, blocking the gate completely, so that no one could get out.
Xiao Changkong and Qinghe Daoist went straight to the second and third basement floors, which were the warehouse area and were sure to be guarded by Nascent Soul cultivators.
Sure enough, as soon as they reached the second floor, two white-haired, early-stage Nascent Soul elders blocked their way.
"Who dares to act so arrogantly in my Wanbao Pavilion...?"
Before he could finish his harsh words, Xiao Changkong threw a punch. The phantom of a white tiger roared and flashed, and the powerful punch sent an old man flying backward, spitting out blood.
The Taoist Qinghe was even more decisive, directly releasing his pressure. A wave of pressure swept over everything, and the other old man instantly turned pale, collapsing to his knees with a thud.
"Senior, please spare my life!"
The old man trembled all over and didn't even dare to lift his head.
"roll."
Qinghe Daoist snorted coldly and with a flick of his sleeve, the old man was swept to the corner like a kite with a broken string.
The two of them went uphill, unstoppable.
None of the Nascent Soul cultivators they encountered could withstand three moves.
Meanwhile, Shen Rugo had already silently sneaked into the underground warehouse.
The warehouse was filled with spirit stones, pills, magic treasures, and rare materials, a dazzling array that made one's eyes dazzled.
Shen Rugo was unceremoniously dismissive; with a wave of her jade hand, all the treasures were stored in her storage ring.
She ransacked the place thoroughly, leaving no stone unturned, not even the shelves in the corner.
In her words, this is called "plucking feathers from a passing goose, leaving not a single blade of grass behind."
In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the entire Wanbao Pavilion was looted clean.
"withdraw!"
Shen Rugo gave the order.
The group quickly retreated to the airship, which soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the horizon in an instant.
When the reinforcements from the city lord's mansion rushed to the scene, all they found was a chaotic Wanbao Pavilion and a group of guards and customers with mournful faces.
"Who did this?!"
The city lord looked at the ruins scattered all over the ground, his face full of doubt, and shouted angrily, after all, this was his territory.
"N-I don't know..."
The branch president slumped to the ground, his face ashen. "They called themselves the Seven Star Thieves, and they robbed us of everything, even prying up the warehouse floor tiles..."
"The Seven Star Thieves?"
The city lord frowned. "I've never heard of this person before."
Little did they know, this was just the beginning.
Over the next seven days, five other major cities in the Western Regions—Golden Rock City, Blackwater City, Thick Earth City, and Wind and Thunder City—were also targeted…
All of Wanbaoge's branches in these cities were repeatedly raided by the "Seven Star Thieves".
The methods were exactly the same: robbery, looting, and then leaving.
