Every midnight, the guards would change shifts.
As expected, right at midnight, two Disciples arrived to take over.
After the two took their positions, they checked the front, back, and sides of the treasury before entering inside to inspect further.
At this moment, Guan Yue followed them into the treasury. When the two Disciples finished their inspection and exited the treasury, Guan Yue did not leave but remained inside.
Once the on-duty Disciples left, Guan Yue immediately walked out of the Sky-Sealing Tower.
The treasury was filled with a strong musty smell due to being closed year-round without any air circulation, resulting in an unpleasant odor. Moreover, it was completely dark inside.
Guan Yue could only rely on the memory of the light used by the Disciples earlier and Modai's instructions to determine the general direction of Modai's storage cabinet.
Guan Yue calmed his mind and focused; indeed, the Child of the Earth reacted strongly. Following its sensing direction, Guan Yue successfully found its location.
It was a very sturdy large metal cabinet, which was Modai's Treasure storage cabinet.
Guan Yue easily opened this cabinet. In the darkness, he could see at a glance that the Shadow Child was placed on a small plate. The small plate contained four beads. Guan Yue put all of them into his Heaven and Earth Furnace.
Then he took everything from inside the cabinet without distinguishing between contents and placed it all into his Cosmic Board Ring.
Guan Yue also casually opened other cabinets to see what was inside; they contained various Treasures, precious artifacts, paintings, and weapons. Many items were clearly things favored by women, indicating they belonged to princesses. They held no use for Guan Yue.
After opening the last cabinet, besides various types of pearl Treasures, there was also a very sharp small knife that looked quite beautiful. Guan Yue did not hesitate and placed it into his Cosmic Board Ring.
Just as Guan Yue was about to stop collecting items, he sensed a faint presence of some kind of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy seeping out from within this treasury.
It’s strange, how could such a thing be here? Did that prince leave the Sacred Weapon here?
Guan Yue followed the source of the Spiritual Energy and eventually saw a small wooden box. When Guan Yue opened it, he found three small swords inside. The swords were filled with dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.
After sensing them for a while, Guan Yue couldn’t detect anything particularly special about the swords. It seemed that even their owner didn’t know their specific purpose and had just casually placed them in this small box.
Since Guan Yue was very skilled with darts, he immediately took a liking to the swords and put them into his Cosmic Board Ring.
Then, Guan Yue entered the Sky-Sealing Tower again, waiting for the Royal Treasury to open once more. If he broke out, it would create too much noise.
At that moment, feeling bored, Guan Yue took out the Shadow Child, and the Child of the Earth stopped moving. He played with the Shadow Child for a while and thought to himself that with just two more Children of Heaven and Earth, he would have collected them all.
But how should he obtain the Child of Heaven and Earth from Jiang Gong? Would he have to rely on stealing as well? Even if he could steal it, he would eventually be discovered. The formation of the Mother of Heaven and Earth indicated that all the Mothers of Heaven and Earth had already been gathered!
Guan Yue didn’t want to act recklessly regarding the prince of the Southern Source Empire. After all, it was his own homeland.
As dawn broke, a cacophony of voices came from outside the door. Guan Yue listened closely and realized that among them were Modai's voices.
Soon after, a duty Disciple opened the door to the Royal Treasury, and several princes and princesses rushed in, hurriedly opening their respective storage compartments.
Immediately, various sounds erupted everywhere. In an instant, both princes and princesses lost their composure.
“Damn it, where are my things? Where are my things?”
“Second Brother, just as you said, all the treasures stored inside are missing. Could it really be that Guan Tian stole them?”
“Hehe, luckily my things are all here; I only lost three small swords. Thank goodness.”
“Fifth Brother, where are your things? How come they’re all gone?”
"Ah, Second Brother, have you lost everything too?"
"My goodness, where is the gift I prepared for the Little Princess of the White Ocean Empire? This took me five years of hard work!"
"Second Brother, can you confirm that this was done by Guan Tian?"
At this moment, Modai spoke up: "I am almost certain that this was done by Guan Tian because he wants to obtain my Shadow Child. I just didn't expect him to be so despicable. Unfortunately, we arrived a step too late."
"How would Guan Tian know about this place? No one would have deliberately told him, right?"
Modai's voice was harsh as he said, "If someone really told him about this place, I will make sure to tear that person apart."
A girl's voice chimed in: "Second Brother, because of you, my Jade Crystal Dagger is missing. You owe me compensation."
"So it’s because of Second Brother that we lost our things. It seems you need to compensate us," Modai said sarcastically, and two voices began to echo his sentiment.
However, another voice opposed: "What does this have to do with Second Brother? If anyone is to blame, it should be Guan Tian; Second Brother is also a victim."
Listening to their bickering, Guan Yue quickly realized that the princes and princesses of the Dawson Empire were indeed divided into two factions, with slightly more people supporting Modai. The side backing Modai had fewer members.
Guan Yue did not stay to listen to their discussion and instead activated the Sky-Sealing Tower to fly directly outside the palace.
Then, Guan Yue arrived first at the designated location agreed upon with Modai and waited for his arrival.
Feeling bored, Guan Yue took out the three small swords and examined them carefully. He always felt there was something strange about these three small swords.
Inside the swords was an abundant amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, yet outside the surface of the swords, one had to be very cautious to sense even a slight leakage of the swords' Spiritual Energy.
If it weren't for the night being quiet and still, Guan Yue might not have been able to feel the small swords' Spiritual Energy emanating outward.
Holding it in his hand, Guan Yue felt that the small sword was somewhat heavy. However, aside from being a bit heavier than expected, he did not notice anything particularly special about it.
Just after noon, Modai arrived. He was accompanied by two disciples, both on the brink of death. They were rogues that Modai had brought in, but they had already been severely beaten.
After using the Magic Supreme Technique on the two of them, Guan Yue allowed them to die. These two were the thieves identified by Modai, who had stolen from the Royal Treasury and were killed by Guan Yue.
In this way, Guan Yue freed himself from the accusation of stealing from the Dawson Empire's royal treasury. As for how many people would believe this, that was not something for Guan Yue to worry about.
At that moment, Guan Yue took out everything he had obtained from the royal treasury and handed it all over to Modai, keeping only a decorative sword and three small blades for himself.
Modai expressed his deep gratitude to Guan Yue.
Now everything was settled.
Modai explained the situation as follows: two habitual thieves had joined forces to steal from the Dawson Empire Royal Family, but on their way back, they encountered Guan Yue, who was coming to meet Prince Modai. As a result, Guan Yue killed the thieves and returned all the stolen items to Prince Modai.
The incident was thus easily resolved.
Modai felt a deep sense of frustration; he did not believe that this was merely a coincidence. He was certain that it was a scheme devised by Guan Yue and Modai together, but he had no evidence to prove it, so he could only harbor his anger internally.
Especially after losing Shadow Child, any hope for reconciliation with the Three Prominent Families had truly vanished. He secretly regretted his decision. Had he known it would turn out this way, he might as well have sacrificed Shadow Child.
After Guan Yue left, Modai began his counterattack based on the items obtained from the Royal Treasury.
Modai had hidden quite a bit of information among those items, some of which included negotiation documents with foreign powers, including an agreement with the Southern Source Empire to mutually support each other in seizing the throne.
Modai submitted all this information to Your Majesty in the Dawson Empire, accusing Modai's Second Prince of colluding with foreign powers in an attempt to usurp the throne.
The Emperor of Dawson Empire was very aware that Modai was not a good person either; he would go to any lengths to obtain the throne. However, regarding the intrigues among princes, the Emperor did not wish to intervene. If one could not stand out in brotherly conflicts, how could they have the ability to face the schemes and plots of ministers from all over?
However, since Modai found the evidence, he could not avoid dealing with it. This Modai was unable to protect such confidential information, and it was necessary to impose some punishment.
So, when the Dawson Empire Emperor became angry, he ordered Modai to lead a team of Disciples to the Anti-Invasion Command Center to accept orders from Angered Heaven, with their lives at stake.
Although Modai was talented in both literature and martial arts, he had never been on the battlefield. Receiving this command from the emperor only deepened his hatred for Modai. He knew that Modai had colluded with Guan Yue to uncover his privacy. However, he lacked evidence, while Guan Yue had openly eliminated Rogue, turning the tide and helping all the princes and princesses recover their lost items.
Meanwhile, Shadow Child would inevitably fall into Guan Yue's hands.
Modai could only weep inwardly and harbor resentment in his heart.
He had no choice but to set out as ordered, representing the Dawson Empire to report to Vice Commander Huangfu Jiayin.
When Guan Yue returned to the Three Prominent Families, they had already formed a team of Disciples to accompany him to Dragon Lake Academy for unified dispatch by Angered Heaven's Supreme Command Center.
Guan Yue was very pleased with this performance from the Three Prominent Families.
When Guan Yue reported to Angered Heaven with fifty Senior Cultivators, Angered Heaven was very happy. After discussing with Dream Spin, he appointed Guan Yue as the captain of the Eighth Special Operations Team and assigned these eighty Senior Cultivators to the team under Guan Yue's command.
The mission of the Eighth Special Operations Team would be uniformly assigned by Huangfu Jiayin, who was now the vice commander of the Anti-Invasion Command Center. Due to her continuous display of excellent command abilities, she was increasingly supported by various empires.
Naijia also performed excellently in reconnaissance and defense, winning the favor of Angered Heaven and Dream Spin. She was responsible for all tasks related to headquarters' defense against thieves and internal traitors, achieving one hundred percent accuracy without ever letting a bad person escape or wrongfully accusing a good person, making it impossible for enemies to hide among them.
As Guan Yue, Huangfu Jiayin, Naijia, Jin Xi, and Gao Yuxin were all disciples of Lahong Great Sage, gradually in Yongning Continent, no Disciple dared to openly oppose Magic Supreme Technique anymore.
