Chapter 1371: Chapter 1248: Caught in the Act
The descendants of the Divine Race have been thriving in this space for over ten thousand years, and this place can be said to be their last pure land.
For millennia, the descendants of the Divine Race lived in peace here, without ever lacking anything. But ever since Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf arrived, the Spiritual Beasts they raised began to disappear mysteriously.
At first, these descendants of the Divine Race thought the beasts had simply wandered off and didn’t pay much attention, as this had happened before.
However, the space here is limited, so even if the beasts got lost, they would eventually return on their own.
But what happened next alard them—even the well-guarded Spiritual dicine Garden suffered frequent thefts, with many precious Spiritual dicines and Spirit Fruits vanishing mysteriously!
Several strong people of the Divine Race guarded the Spiritual dicine Garden, hoping to catch the thief stealing the Spiritual dicines and Spirit Fruits, but days passed without success, as if the thief knew of the strong people present and didn’t dare return.
It wasn’t until later, when those strong people of the Divine Race inspected the Spiritual dicine Garden, that they realized their guarding had beco aningless—the mature Spiritual dicines and Spirit Fruits were nearly all gone, leaving only those that had not matured and unripe Spirit Fruits.
Over the following days, the Divine Race’s secret stash of a thousand-year-old wine also began disappearing, which greatly alard the descendants of the Divine Race!
These aged brews were crafted from various Immortal Ginseng Spiritual Fruits with a unique secret recipe, and although not said to revive the dead, they were extrely rare Spiritual Wine.
Most concerning is that this type of Spiritual Wine is difficult to brew, requiring too many Spiritual dicines and Spirit Fruits, and they can no longer produce it now.
This Spiritual Wine is extrely valued by the Divine Race; each and every Divine Race mber treasures it like life itself!
The loss of the Spiritual Wine has left them very vexed!
The descendants of the Divine Race imdiately turned their suspicions towards Ye Fan, as no such theft had occurred before his arrival.
Such thefts began occurring shortly after his arrival, so they couldn’t help but harbor suspicions.
Ye Fan was utterly unaware of these matters; he was in seclusion every day, cultivating his Divine Soul, striving to repair his damaged Divine Soul as soon as possible!
However, during these days, Ye Fan did notice that every day before dawn, the Bai Yan wolf would inevitably bring him a Spirit Fruit or a Spiritual dicine, sotis even so Spiritual Beast at.
Ye Fan had suspected that these things were stolen by the Bai Yan wolf, but the wolf remained unfazed, claiming that Tongtong had asked it to deliver them, even saying it was under the beautiful pretext that—Tongtong, a Goddess of the Divine Race, getting too close to a Human Race mber could unavoidably upset so people, so she did this to avoid suspicion!
One must admit, the Bai Yan wolf’s lying skills were so high that Ye Fan didn’t think much more about it.
Generally, cultivators do not dare to directly refine and absorb Spiritual dicine or Spirit Fruits, because although they are not Spirit Stones, so Spirit Fruits contain Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi that is even more terrifying than Spirit Stones, and if the body cannot endure it, it may very well explode and die.
However, Ye Fan had no such concerns; his Nine Heavens Profound Body was like a bottomless pit, able to absorb infinite amounts of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi without fear of being overwheld.
Though he hadn’t completely dispelled his doubts, Ye Fan had already consud Spirit Fruits and refined Spiritual dicine, so he didn’t inquire further, figuring that even if they were stolen by the Bai Yan wolf, he could just put all the bla on the wolf later.
Little did he know, as he was scheming against the Bai Yan wolf, the wolf was also scheming against him; if it weren’t for needing Ye Fan to take the fall for it, the wolf wouldn’t be so kind as to share the spoils with him!
By consuming various heaven-sent provisions, the Bai Yan wolf’s strength surged, its once withered fur beca glossy once more, and these external changes could hardly escape the strong people of the Divine Race!
From the significant change of the Bai Yan wolf, it was easy to infer that the thefts in the Spiritual dicine Garden, the disappearance of Spiritual Beasts, and the wine thefts were all related to it!
However—
The Bai Yan wolf seed to be an experienced thief, acting cautiously, elusive, and several young strong people of the Divine Race tried to catch it in the act but failed.
That night, under a sparse starry sky, the Bai Yan wolf slept in the thatched hut for an entire day, not rising until the latter part of the night, shaking off several strands of dried grass from its body.
Gazing at the bright moon in the sky, the Bai Yan wolf couldn’t help but want to howl at the moon and then cultivate, but thinking of the events to co, it held back.
Tilting its head back, it sneezed, its old wolf eyes alertly scanning around, finding nothing amiss before shaking its body.
A miraculous transformation occurred as the Bai Yan wolf, originally the size of a young calf, seed shrouded in a layer of white mist, slowly shrinking until it was the size of a kitten, then dashed towards a distant courtyard like a bolt of lightning.
The Bai Yan wolf had padded paws and didn’t make a sound as it landed, then leaped over houses and roofs to reach the entrance of the wine cellar it had reconnoitered during the day.
The Divine Race placed a sealing at the wine cellar’s entrance, and entering silently was extrely tough; however, this posed no problem for the Bai Yan wolf.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Though the Bai Yan wolf was not overly powerful, its expertise in studying Array Patterns and seals was at a Grandmaster Level, claws moving continuously, silver lights fixing in front of the seal.
Monts later, the Bai Yan wolf had cracked the seal, not triggering any Forbidden techniques, swaggering into the wine cellar.
Sss!
Just as it entered the wine cellar, the Bai Yan wolf was startled and quickly flew out!
However——
Soone was quicker than it!
Whoosh!
A golden shimring net instantly descended, directly trapping it inside.
“Let’s see where you run this ti, you shaless thief!”
With the voice, several strong people from the Divine Race walked out of the wine cellar, using divine power to bind the Bai Yan wolf tightly!
“Who are you? Why are you tying up? How did I end up here?”
Bai Yan wolf had been caught red-handed and knew things weren’t looking good, but facing the murderous cultivators of the Divine Race, it put on an innocent face.
“Are you pretending not to know?”
A Divine Race youth nad Xuanyuan Feng stared coldly at Bai Yan wolf and asked back.
These days, he and Jiang Kuang and others had repeatedly studied and discovered so of Bai Yan wolf’s theft patterns, knowing it surely wouldn’t remain idle.
The nearby wine cellars had all been visited by it, except for this one that hadn’t been stolen from yet. They believed that Bai Yan wolf would target this wine cellar sooner or later.
With ticulous arrangent, they hid in the wine cellar, setting a trap for Bai Yan wolf to walk into, while also setting up a heaven and earth net outside.
To prevent Bai Yan wolf from denying, they did not act first but waited until Bai Yan wolf entered the wine cellar before making their move.
They had been squatting in the wine cellar for three days for this plan and finally caught Bai Yan wolf on the spot today!
Jiang Kuang was so angry that his eyebrows were tightly knitted, but he didn’t speak and waited for Bai Yan wolf to talk.
According to his plan, even if all these things were done by Bai Yan wolf, punishing it once would suffice; the most important thing was to involve Ye Fan, so he would have an excuse to make a fuss, to drive Ye Fan out, or kill him outright!
Bai Yan wolf did not know Jiang Kuang’s plan, but who was it?
Having lived for endless ti, how could the old demon not understand the situation?
Even though it understood the situation, Bai Yan wolf did not imdiately betray Ye Fan.
Because Ye Fan had saved its life at Thunder God Ridge and was also the successor of the Thunder Venerable master.
“I understand, I have sleepwalking disorder, I must have sleepwalked here. This sleepwalking disorder is really killing ! Everyone, this is absolutely a misunderstanding, you wouldn’t think I wanted to steal so drink, would you? You must be joking, I’m a wolf! How could I drink?”
Bai Yan wolf lied without blushing or its heart beating faster, speaking so sincerely as if it were true, making Xuanyuan Feng and Jiang Kuang and others almost vomit blood in anger.
“Is that so? Then your sleepwalking skill is quite sothing, silently breaking through the forbidden we placed from the Divine Race.” Xuanyuan Feng angrily stared at Bai Yan wolf.
“Why waste words with it, let’s beat it up first, see if it dares to be stubborn again. It has stolen an unknown amount of the spiritual beasts we raised, and nearly swept away the spiritual dicines and fruits!”
So Divine Race youth couldn’t hold back anymore and directly made a move, smacking a golden palm heavily on Bai Yan wolf’s head, making it see stars and feel dizzy.
“Stop.”
Jiang Kuang stopped the Divine Race youth from continuing and spoke sinisterly to Bai Yan wolf, “There’s no need for you to argue. Even if you speak eloquently, it won’t help, but I can choose not to hold you accountable and let you leave.”
“What do you an?”
Bai Yan wolf looked at Jiang Kuang warily, not believing Jiang Kuang would let it go for nothing, and it also knew Jiang Kuang was very strong, and it was no match.
“I know even if you did all this, you’re not the mastermind. We only punish the mastermind; you’re just the executor. Why take the bla for soone else?”
Jiang Kuang guided and coaxed Bai Yan wolf little by little to betray Ye Fan.
How cunning was Bai Yan wolf?
It imdiately understood what Jiang Kuang ant when it heard his words.
“Alright! Since you’ve seen through everything, there’s no point in resisting anymore. Yes, it was all . That kid with the surna Ye forced to do it, he’s not fully recovered and needs spiritual dicine and spiritual fruit to heal, and stealing spiritual wine was his idea!”
Bai Yan wolf hesitated for a mont but ultimately decided to compromise, silently saying in its heart: “Ye Fan, I’m sorry, to avoid imminent death, this King can only say you are the mastermind…”
