Guan Yue looked up and saw clearly that this was a storage room. However, inside, there was a couple engaged in intimate activities. Both were completely naked; the girl was lying on her back, and upon noticing the door opening without any wind, she turned her head to look towards the entrance. Guan Yue quickly scanned the scene and realized that the girl appeared to be only around fifteen or sixteen years old, while the man was in his thirties or forties, sporting a full beard.
He was on top of the girl, and just as he spoke, he noticed the door had opened but saw no one there. He quickly got up, closed the door, and returned to the girl, resuming his actions.
Guan Yue paid them no mind and continued searching around the room. Sure enough, he spotted a package of Spirit Essence on one of the shelves. With a leap, he collected the Spirit Essence into Sky Peak Tower. He could even guess that this package of Spirit Essence was likely left here by a disciple of the Gong Family for later retrieval.
At that moment, the young girl let out an uncontrollable moan. Hearing such lewd sounds stirred a slight impulse within Guan Yue. He thought to himself that this man must be quite experienced in such matters, not even sparing a young girl from Gong Residence.
He gained a deeper understanding of the chaotic management within Gong Residence.
Without hesitation, he opened the door again and walked away. The man had no choice but to stop what he was doing, get up to close the door, and then said to the young girl, "This place isn't safe; this door really doesn't work; it keeps blowing open."
"But there's no wind! It must be your doing," pouted the young girl.
The bearded man replied angrily, "I won't mess with you next time. There's not even a safe place here. If someone else finds out, I wouldn't know how I'd end up."
His words made the young girl apologize repeatedly: "Bearded Uncle, next time I'll definitely find a safe place. You can trust me."
Seeing her soften her tone, the bearded man pressed down on her again, and they resumed their passionate encounter.
Guan Yue overheard their entire conversation and deduced from it that there were likely more women than men in the Gong Family and that their overall numbers were probably low. Otherwise, these two wouldn't dare to be so bold in broad daylight.
As Guan Yue walked through Gong Residence, he noticed very few people moving about aside from those cleaning. There was definitely something suspicious about this Gong Residence.
Guan Yue headed towards the second storage location for Spirit Essence.
Guan Yue arrived here and realized this was the true location of the Spirit Essence within the Gong Residence.
There was a simple formation protecting this place, and the design of the room was quite strange, making it difficult for Guan Yue to discern its layout.
Guan Yue focused and sensed that there was no immediate danger; it was just that this simple formation obscured his vision. It appeared straightforward, yet it seemed to conceal something deeper. Perhaps the intention of this formation was not to hinder visitors but merely to confuse opponents.
Guan Yue had no time to hesitate; he had to move forward to seize the Spirit Essence. In order to break through to the Heavenly Realm, he had no choice but to take risks. However, Guan Yue remained cautious, employing the Concealment Technique and Yuli Huanfu Technique, even opening his domain.
Guan Yue slowly approached a large wooden box containing the Spirit Essence. One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, five steps—just as he took his sixth step, a sudden "crack" echoed, and the entire room collapsed. The structure came crashing down on Guan Yue, leaving him nowhere to hide as he fell into an underground trap along with the debris.
It turned out that this was a removable room designed to lure enemies deeper in with the Spirit Essence.
This was the true face of the Gong Residence!
Just as Guan Yue attempted to struggle free, three Disciples appeared simultaneously at the scene. Although Guan Yue had used the Invisibility Technique, in such a confined space filled with debris, his position was easily identified by the three Disciples.
"Hmph, you even dared to use the Invisibility Technique. You truly underestimate our Gong Family. I wonder where this Brave Man comes from and what his intentions are?" one Disciple said coldly. Since he could not see Guan Yue's body, he did not perform a fist salute.
Another Disciple lacked such restraint: "Damn it! Who does this bastard think he is? He can't even see properly and dares to come steal Spirit Essence from our Gong Family? He must be seeking death."
Guan Yue knew he was in a deep pit and remained in a passive position. Despite knowing they intended to kill him, he had to find a way out of this predicament; he had no choice but to fight for his life.
With determination, he pushed himself upward rapidly. However, the collapsing debris made a chaotic noise that revealed Guan Yue's intentions. The three sharp swords blocked his ascent completely; they aimed to trap him in the pit and eliminate him afterward.
At that moment, several more figures rushed toward them. It seemed that these three Disciples had already signaled for reinforcements from their skilled allies.
Guan Yue understood that this was a critical moment where failure could mean disaster. Therefore, based on his domain's foundation, he used the Magic Supreme Technique to trap the three within his Composite Domain and immediately unleashed magic to consume them, rendering them powerless to retaliate.
At this moment, Guan Yue barely leaped out of the deep pit, and the experts had arrived.
Only then did Guan Yue realize that the three newcomers were all Disciples of the Breaking Heaven Realm.
It turned out that the Gong Family's cultivation base was established underground!
When the three Disciples of the Breaking Heaven Realm arrived at the scene, they found that the previous three Disciples had already been completely devoured by the Magic Supreme Technique, leaving only three piles of bones!
One of the Breaking Heaven Disciples approached the bones, touched them with his hand, then leaned in to sniff them. He turned to the other two and said, "It's the Magic Supreme Technique; this newcomer actually used the Magic Supreme Technique."
"The speed of this person's movement is so swift. We only took a few seconds to arrive here, and this person has vanished without a trace. Why would such an Expert come to steal Spirit Essence? Could it be?"
"That's right. There is no Spirit Essence here, yet there is an urgent need for it. This person must be someone from the Lower Realm. They urgently need to elevate their realm but have no Spirit Essence on them, so they resorted to theft."
After analyzing the situation, the three Breaking Heaven experts had made a rough guess that was quite close to the truth.
At this time, Guan Yue did not leave but stood beside them. Hearing their analysis, he couldn't help but silently admire their reasoning; it was logical and hit the core without deviation. They truly were experts of the Breaking Heaven Realm.
The three did not say much at the scene and immediately left.
They entered a very concealed place and went to see an Ancestor of their Gong Family. The three detailed their findings to this Ancestor, who chuckled and said, "After so many years, nothing has piqued Old Man's interest until today. Such an incident has even made Old Man unable to hold back. I will investigate who this audacious thief is that can conceal themselves. I will tear him apart! This will serve as a warning to others not to covet my Gong Family."
The three Breaking Heaven Disciples were all shocked. This Ancestor of the Gong Family was named Gong Bufan and had lived for several hundred years; he was considered a formidable figure. A century or two ago, he had dominated the world and was invincible. Later, as he aged, he created a terrifying battle incident to fabricate his own demise and then remained hidden underground in the Gong Family for cultivation. Over nearly a hundred years, he had nurtured countless experts within the Gong Family, with over ten Disciples in the Breaking Heaven Realm.
However, regarding the Ancestor's decision to confront this invisible thief who had entered their family to steal Spirit Essence, the three Breaking Heaven Disciples still felt it was making a mountain out of a molehill.
Gong Bufan smiled and said, "Can you catch this little thief?"
"Not possible," the three Breaking Heaven Realm Disciples said awkwardly.
"Since you three Breaking Heaven Realm experts cannot capture this thief, can he be called a petty thief? Can someone who can easily defeat three Disciples be called a petty thief? Moreover, this thief will surely become more audacious in the future; we do not know how bold he will become. Therefore, the Old Man must take action. I should act while I still can and eliminate the last pest for the family."
Gong Bufan said with ambition.
The three Breaking Heaven Realm Disciples were speechless. The Ancestor was right; since they could not catch him, he was indeed a major thief. Since he was a major thief, it was reasonable for the Ancestor to take action.
However, it seemed unreasonable for the Ancestor to personally intervene just for a small thief; it was truly just the luck of that little thief.
As Gong Bufan spoke, he acted swiftly and arrived at the scene where Guan Yue had just been discovered, carefully inspecting it, with the three Breaking Heaven Realm Disciples closely following behind. Indeed, this Ancestor of the Gong Family noticed a hint of clarity:
"This person's Magic Supreme Technique must be genuine; its effective range is truly rare, indicating he is not an ordinary expert. Furthermore, he possesses stealth techniques, which means he is likely someone renowned in the world. However, to my knowledge, there are no such talents in the Ocean Harmony Empire. If he is not from another empire, then he must be someone from the Lower Realm."
As soon as Gong Bufan finished speaking, one of the Breaking Heaven Realm Disciples quickly said, "Ancestor, I have discovered a very strange phenomenon: Tai Shun Pavilion, Leap Ridge Pavilion, and Ocean Harmony Empire have all issued sea capture notices. They are all after the same person—a young man named Guan Yue—who has just come up from the Lower Realm."
"Oh, I also saw the bounty notice, but their offered rewards differ greatly. One is one hundred taels of Golden Red Sand, another is three thousand taels of Gold Red Sand, and the last one is ten thousand taels of Golden Red Sand?"
"Yes, to be specific." After hearing this news, Gong Bufan appeared very cautious. There had been instances in the past where two pavilions simultaneously issued bounties for a criminal; however, it was unusual for two pavilions and an empire to simultaneously pursue someone from the Lower Realm—it seemed unprecedented.
"The bounty from Leap Ridge Pavilion is one hundred taels; Tai Shun Pavilion's bounty is three thousand taels; while Ocean Harmony Empire's bounty is ten thousand taels. All three parties have stipulated one condition: they all require him to be captured alive and do not want a corpse," explained one of the Breaking Heaven Realm Disciples.
