Ace Of Terrans Chapter 729 Rat Chase

Chapter 729 Rat Chase.

?An old man appeared inside the room where Zhu Lin was resting. He looked around but could not find anyone. The old man was perplexed, but upon searching again, he found the sa unknown man appearing in another corridor. He vanished from the spot again to find nothing.

anwhile, Shi Lang walked inside the old man's room. The place was decorated with minimal stuff. Shi Lang spotted the tile under which lay the treasure vault. He pressed it gently, and a click was heard.

The blood had seeped inside already, so he was sure this thing had no traps. The tile sunk under the pressure and slid to the side, revealing a big black pit. Shi Lang sensed the place and found an anti-flying array engraved on the walls.

This was a trick to prevent people from stealing. Such arrays could only be negated with special keys, but Shi Lang did not intend to return with the sa route. He had sothing else planned. As he was entering the vault, he also controlled his clones.

Shi Lang sensed that the old man was quickly catching up with his clones. If any of his clones were caught, who knew what thod this old corpse would use to get to him? He jumped down in the vault and found the place lingering with snakes. He did not even have the ti to stabilize his feet when the spirit beasts lunged at him with their vicious fangs.

The Terran channeled his spiritual energy through his body and retaliated. His sensory ability had already told him where the treasure was. He did not need to kill these beasts; he aid to stun them and run away with the treasure. The reason behind this was the activation of his spiritual energy.

The old ancestor will leave everything and rush here directly to check things. Shi Lang estimated a window of three seconds, given the fact that the old man was far out to the mansion boundaries. He would sense Shi Lang's presence from the inside of the mansion. The shock will give the Terran a minute and one more second for him to reach inside.

Shi Lang pressed his feet against the ground and shot inside the vault. His lightning energy was strong. It stunned the beasts in an instant. He can scan the place repeatedly to narrow down his search. The properties of Eris were unique. It would turn dark in light and glow in the dark.

Shi Lang took a deep breath as he located three such treasure chests. He reached close to them all and placed his hand on the chests. The next mont, the chests were moved directly into his space rings. The Terran sensed a threat, opened a portal directly to the inheritance palace, and vanished.

This place was engraved with a space-locking array, but the inheritance palace was unique. It was made by Immortal Gods and had many dao rules applied to it. These rules allowed the portal from the palace to open anywhere at the command of the Palace master.

Shi Lang vanished, and the old man of the Zhu Family appeared inside the vault. His sharp eyes noticed the missing treasure chests, and he roared angrily, "Insolent thief!!!"

The entire mansion shook from his anger, and the people rushed to his side.

...

Yang Tie and the two were about to leave outside the mansion outside the mansion when they heard the roar. Old Pie frowned and quickly waved his hand to contain the spiritual shockwave in the void. The tremors were not limited to the void; even the ground was trembling, too.

ng Quan wanted to ask sothing when the ancestor of the Zhu Family appeared in the void. His eyes were akin to that of a vulture. He looked at all three of them and asked, "Are you three related to that thief who robbed my ho?"

The people were shocked. ng Quan was shocked that this old man asked him sothing like this. City Lord was shocked that Shi Lang succeeded in his task, as for Yang Tie, he was worried about the old man discovering anything.

Despite the fear, he did not say anything or show it on his face. Old Man Pie ca to salvage the situation, "Elder Zhu, how can we make a move against your family? Not only are you a big na in the city, but your family is also responsible for maintaining the peace in the city."

Elder Zhu waved his hand and said, "Cut the crap, Pie. You know very well what I am talking about. Suppose I discovered that any of you petty bastards made a move against my great-grandson and even dared to rob the house. I will have you stripped naked at the city center."

Old Man Pie tilted his head and said, "Feel free to do what you must. If you troubled the people in the na of investigation, I will show you what a city lord can do."

Elder Zhu looked at Old Pie in surprise, as did the rest of the people. The forr raised his aura and asked, "Did you forget who you are addressing, kid?"

City Lord Pie smiled and said, "OId man, I am respectful because you look like soone who has done much for his family and is on the last leg of his life. If you move against , you better make sure that I die. If I survive your attack, I will bring down the entire Zhu Family."

Elder Zhu narrowed his eyes and asked, "What gives you the strength to back your words?"

Old Man Pie replied, "The martial arts council is not filled with clowns. Mind your own business. We can settle in the city. If I find any of your people making a ss, I will use them as an example. It is about ti the city is cleaned of scourge."

Elder Zhu was enraged; when had he been scolded like this? He asked loudly, "Who are you calling scourge?"

City Lord Pie replied, "I have been closing one eye at what your great-grandson did while he was designated as the City Guard Chief. However, now that he has been disabled, he is no longer the city guard chief. I will find soone else for the job. As for the Zhu family disciples in the city guard, they better act within their limits. I do not mind having them keep Zhu Lin company."

Elder Zhu and the rest of the family people clenched their fists. They were enraged as the old city lord scolded them. Yang Tie's back was layered with cold sweat. He wanted to ddle and calm the old man down, but looking at ng Quan, who was all smug, he could not understand how things were going.

Old Man Pie finished his piece and said, "I will leave now. You can mind your own family."

The old city lord vanished, and ng Quan followed without a word. Yang Tie bowed to the Zhu Family people and vanished from his spot. Elder Zhu was so angry that he could not help but cough up so blood. Patriarch Zhu spotted this and quickly helped him back to his chamber.

However, the sight before him was shocking. The bed of the ancestor was flung away, and the vault below was revealed. He said, "Seal the family. No one goes out, and none cos in. Call back all the disciples from their tasks. The family is under attack."

This announcent shocked the rest of the elders, but they could not say anything. Elder Zhu cleared their doubts. "Soone entered the vault and stole Eris's chest. This guy also took away the Celestial Gold Chest. The family will never overco this crisis. We are forced into a corner."

The people were shocked into a daze. They could not understand what the old ancestor just said. Zhu Qai asked, "Second Uncle, what you an is soone ca inside the house. Not only did they disable Xiao Lin, but they also took away our valuable treasures?"

The old man coughed up again, and blood seeped out from the corner of his lips. Patriarch Zhu glared at Zhu Qai and spoke coldly, "If you have so much energy, look for the bastard who did this. Call back everyone and have them look for any clues. I will not rest until I have found this bastard. I want to see his corpse even if he has been claid by the lord of death himself."

The elders bowed and rushed out of the room. Patriarch Zhu asked, "Grandfather, what is it?"

The old man shook his head and said, "I checked every nook and cranny but found nothing except a few drops of water. It is as if soone knew where and how to get to the treasures. Find out if anyone from the family is missing. I suspect we have a rat in our ho."

Patriach Zhu was shocked, but he also knew that things ran deep in this world. He nodded and said, "I shall get to it at once. You must take rest. The centurion tournant is around the corner. We will need your presence to make a move."

The old man nodded and said, "Go, chase. I will be fine."
