470 The Empty Scroll Warehouse
This was a secret room that looked like a huge turtle shell. It was located in the green forest and was easy to miss if one were to look at it from the sky.
The stone door was like a turtle’s belly, and the limestone walls had symmetrical faint golden patterns.
Caique took a few steps forward and placed his palm on the door. As a blue ripple spread out, the lines on the stone door lit up one after another.
Then, with a booming noise, the two doors each moved to one side.
A gorgeous and strange colorful light shone from inside. Caique smiled slightly and led the way.
“Three hundred years ago, when I became a Godking and established the alliance, this secret room was also established at almost the same time. From then on, the ‘Scroll Collection Department’ that I set up would obtain powerful scrolls from various channels.”
“Until now, I’m not sure how much it has accumulated.”
“Oh?” Ling Yi raised his eyebrows.
“Haha, but even if I only collect 100 pieces every year, I should have collected about 30,000 pieces by now. I’ll definitely have what you want.”
“Have you considered duplicates?”
“Of course, it counts.”
As soon as they entered, the group saw a large wooden shelf that seemed to have no end in sight. Every shelf was empty.
“What?”
Yunji’s eyes widened, thinking that there was something wrong with her eyesight.
Caique smiled. “You must be shocked. This is just an illusion.”
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers.
The magical colorful light that filled this area disappeared in the next moment as if an invisible curtain had lifted the space.
When Ling Yi looked again…
The wooden rack was still empty and looked dirtier than before. Some of the dust had piled up to a height of one centimeter.
“What?”
He activated his [Eye of Truth] to take a look again and found that there were no other mechanisms here. Those were really just ordinary wooden shelves.
He looked at Caique doubtfully. The latter didn’t seem to have responded at the moment. He was staring blankly at the dusty wooden shelves.
“Is… Is there another illusion?” Xuan Zhentian’s mouth twitched.
How did all the scrolls disappear?
Caique blinked his eyes in confusion and snapped his fingers again.
Three seconds passed, and nothing changed.
“F*ck! Old man Cai, someone must have stolen from the scroll warehouse!” Xuan Zhentian cried out in shock.
Ling Yi watched as Caique took two deep breaths and pretended to be calm as he slowly exhaled.
“Phew… It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s just a scroll being stolen. It’s not a big problem.”
He smiled and invited Ling Yi and the other two out of the scroll warehouse. “You two can go to the headquarters’ living room to have some tea and rest. I’ll get someone to investigate.”
Five minutes passed quickly.
In the living room, while Ling Yi was still enjoying Yunji’s shoulder massage, Caique walked in with a frown while stroking his long white beard.
“How is it? Have you found out?” Xuan Zhentian immediately asked.
“Yes.”
Caique replied softly. He glanced at Ling Yi and Yunji and sighed. “If my information is correct, that should be the work of the ‘Godking’s guardsmen’ from the Luoye Haixing.”
“What? A guard personally trained by the Cosmic God?”
Xuan Zhentian’s young and handsome face suddenly twisted. He frowned and said in a serious tone, “Old man Cai, is your information accurate?”
“… 99%, I think.”
“Why did he do that? Don’t tell me he still remembers the little conflict from before?” Xuan Zhentian asked again.
Caique shook his head.
He shifted his gaze to Ling Yi’s face and said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I wanted to give you the scrolls I have, but I don’t have any now…”
“It’s fine.” Ling Yi waved his hand casually and asked, “What do you plan to do now?”
“Hmph, of course I’m going to demand an explanation!”
Caique snorted coldly. “Although I’m often called a cunning old man by the players and don’t dare to fight head-on, this doesn’t mean that I’m weak!”
“Good! Old man Cai, I’ll go with you! I’ve long found the Cosmic God an eyesore! This time, we have to get an explanation from him!” Xuan Zhentian slammed the table and stood up.
Seeing this, Yunji bent down and excitedly whispered into Ling Yi’s ear, “Let’s go and take a look! This looks interesting!”
Upon hearing this, the two Godkings’ eyes lit up!
He immediately turned his expectant gaze to the young man who was sitting there leisurely.
‘If he decided to come with us… Even a Cosmic God would be afraid!’ Xuan Zhentian was a little excited.
‘If he wants to go, then it’ll definitely be successful!’ Caique thought nervously.
Ling Yi grinned at Yunji’s persuasion.
“Alright, alright.”
…
In a certain dark forest in Luoye Haixing headquarters.
When Lady Sparrow, who was dressed in a black robe, was looking through the information on Ling Yi that her subordinates had submitted.
The birds and beasts outside the forest scattered.
“What?”
Lady Sparrow slightly frowned and looked at the approaching figure with a puzzled look.
“Lady Sparrow! Quickly inform the Godking that Godking Caique is here!” Emperor Guang said anxiously as he rushed over.
A rare look of panic appeared on his slightly aged face as if he had encountered a life-and-death crisis.
“The Godking is resting,” Lady Sparrow said indifferently.
Cyclops was fond of sleeping, and they could usually sleep for three to five days. If they were woken up by the outside world during this time, they would fall into an irritable state.
“Of course I know he’s resting! But now that Godking Caique is outside, we must invite him out!” Emperor Guang said anxiously.
When Yujue came out of the black ball, the elders knew he was going to fall asleep soon after.
If he didn’t say that only Lady Sparrow could disturb him, Emperor Guang would have called for her by now.
As if she did not see Emperor Guang’s nervousness, Lady Sparrow still asked leisurely, “What is Godking Caique doing here?”
“He didn’t say anything. He just told us to call the Godking out.”
“Hehe, then let him wait. In any case, your six elders are also very impressive. You can just stop him.” Lady Sparrow sneered.
“But… The Myriad Alliance’s Godking had also come! Also…”
As he said this, Emperor Guang gritted his teeth.
At the thought of that man coming, his heart couldn’t help but tremble.
Just as he was about to continue speaking, a dazzling bolt of silver lightning suddenly flashed across the sky!
BOOM!
The speed of the silver lightning was unbelievably fast. By the time Lady Sparrow and Emperor Guang reacted, a small black hole had already appeared in the blue sky.
In the center of the black hole, there was a large black ball floating.
At the same time, Godking Caique’s cold voice came from the distant sky.
“Old Yu! Old friend, you’re here and you’re not coming out to prepare tea?”
Before he finished speaking, Caique, who was dressed in yellow, crossed the void with his hands behind his back.
His cold eyes were staring at the black hole in front of him, and his straight posture made people feel extremely confident.
Whoosh–!
This loud voice alerted the experts from the surrounding Alliance and they all flew into the sky to look over.
At the same time, the other five elders of the alliance also flew over and appeared beside Emperor Guang.
“No, I can’t stop him!”
“It’s over. There are still two more Godking experts behind. It won’t be easy to end this today.”
“We’ve tried our best. Let’s see what the Godking has to do next.”
The few of them spoke one after another, clearly making their positions clear.
Lady Sparrow looked at these elders with great surprise. It was hard to imagine that these old men who followed Yujue would actually admit their neutrality.
