In the next instant, the Fla Light in Xu Jin’s palm soared, directly blasting apart the Thunder Light Light Curtain before his eyes.
The Thunder Light Light Curtain didn’t possess much strength and shattered upon impact.
The mont it broke, Xu Jin turned around and charged out of the secret passageway, listening intently for two breaths’ ti in the quiet room.
There was no movent within the mansion.
That ant the alarm must have been ant only for the already fallen City Lord.
Still, he needed to be quick.
This kind of underground chamber, if one wasn’t careful, was like trapping oneself in a jar.
The chamber had a door and, unexpectedly, a lock as well.
But this wasn’t a problem for Xu Jin, as the Fla Light surged out, incinerating the lock imdiately.
In the next instant, Xu Jin charged into City Lord Zi Yang’s secret vault.
The vault wasn’t large, about fifty square ters.
It was filled with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
There were minerals and dicinal materials, most of which were precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Purple Wind Star Domain.
There was no small quantity piled up.
Unfortunately, these items were too large, and Xu Jin could not take them with him.
The Candou Platform could only carry certain Star Cores and Star Jade Tablets.
Xu Jin suddenly felt puzzled.
The State Preceptor didn’t bring a bag either, and when retrieving items before, he just casually took them out from his bosom.
Dong Zhao the Mountain Master included, what were they using to carry things with them?
Spatial containers?
Or sothing else?
He’d need to get one later; otherwise, leaving behind so many valuable items would be quite distressing.
Suddenly, Xu Jin’s eyes moved slightly.
Star Fallen Iron!
In the corner, Xu Jin discovered a pile of refined Star Fallen Iron.
Xu Jin was ecstatic.
Upgrading to the Fourth Tier of the Candou Platform requires a catty of Star Fallen Iron.
In Dachen, this was an extrely important military-controlled material.
Very hard to find.
Xu Jin had previously thought that if he couldn’t purchase more upon returning, he would have to ask soone for help.
Unexpectedly, he had stumbled upon it now.
A piece the size of a baby’s fist—definitely more than one catty!
In an instant, Xu Jin collected this piece of Star Fallen Iron into the Candou Platform.
The Starlight flickered slightly.
The requirent for Star Fallen Iron for upgrading the Candou Platform disappeared.
On the Candou Platform, a small piece of Star Fallen Iron, weighing several taels, with a smooth and neat cut, fell off.
In addition, there were many Star Weapons, mostly Second-tier Star Weapons, and a small number of Third-tier Star Weapons.
But they were useless.
These growth-limited Star Domains were said to be constrained by the Heaven and Earth Rules, so except for raw materials, other items were either unusable once taken out or were of such poor quality they were beyond redemption.
They were just for show.
Then, Xu Jin saw a large number of Star Jade Tablets; there were over a thousand Third Tier Star Jade Tablets, and even over two hundred Fourth Tier Star Jade Tablets, and shockingly, there were twelve Fifth Tier Star Jade Tablets!
As expected of a City Lord—imnsely wealthy!
Xu Jin first collected the Fifth Order Star Jade Tablets into the Candou Platform, increasing their count to eighteen.
He took in all the Fourth Tier Star Jade Tablets.
He began to collect the Third Tier Star Jade Tablets, but after collecting more than four hundred pieces, he couldn’t store any more.
Was the Candou Platform full?
But Xu Jin tried again, and while he could still move in and out the Star Cores, he could only take out the Star Jade Tablets, not put more in.
Had he reached the capacity limit of the Candou Platform?
Xu Jin felt a bit regretful.
The remaining six hundred or so Third Tier Star Jade Tablets were worth quite a lot of money as well.
But they couldn’t go to waste, so he turned all of them into Starlight with the Candou Platform.
The Candou Platform gained several hundred strands of Third Tier Starlight.
As for taking them away in a backpack, how can one fight while carrying an oversized mountaineering pack?
When Xu Jin left the City Lord Mansion, no one knew that City Lord Zi Yang’s vault had been ransacked.
Fifteen minutes later, Xu Jin silently infiltrated Deputy City Lord Zi Shuo’s residence.
Outside of Zi Shuo’s quiet room where he was cultivating in silence, under the operation of the Mingji Star Pattern, Xu Jin faintly sensed that Zi Shuo’s aura had recovered a bit but was still gravely injured.
Under such circumstances, sneaking in and taking out Zi Shuo shouldn’t be difficult.
The treasury of the Deputy City Lord did not interest Xu Jin.
But what Xu Jin really wanted was Deputy City Lord Zi Shuo’s Star Core.
The previously obtained City Lord Zi Yang’s Star Core, with its Protection Star Pattern, had pleasantly surprised Xu Jin.
Now with a severely injured Star Condensation Middle Period expert at hand, who else to target if not him!
However, the entrance was guarded by two Ninth Layer Star Refining elites.
Killing these two wasn’t difficult.
But once he killed them, Xu Jin figured he would likely lose the chance to assassinate Zi Shuo.
He would have to attack head-on.
Attacking head-on might require using the last cherished Dawn Emblem that had been nourished.
That would not be cost-effective.
After so thought, Xu Jin turned to seek the Deputy City Lord Zi Shuo’s lawful wife.
During the day, others, including the Deputy City Lord’s butler, all had Cultivation Levels, making it impossible to quietly pull into the Warm Dream Star Pattern, but the Deputy City Lord’s wife could.
She was just an ordinary female of the Alien Race at the Star Casting Realm.
Plus, because of the Deputy City Lord’s injuries, she was clearly very tired.
After Xu Jin sneaked close, with a slight movent of his Divine Soul Power, the Warm Dream Star Pattern pulled her into a dream.
Then, Xu Jin entered the dreamscape of the Deputy City Lord’s Wife four tis, continuously strengthening the suggestion through the dreamscape.
Fifteen minutes later, the Vice City Lord’s Wife woke up.
Upon waking, she ran towards the Deputy City Lord’s quiet room where he was healing, her face filled with alarm.
She had just had several terrifying dreams.
In the dreams, the guards stationed outside her husband, the Deputy City Lord’s room, were traitors.
They had taken advantage of the Deputy City Lord’s recovery period to attempt to assassinate the City Lord.
Just dreaming it once only caused her heart to race.
But after the sa dream occurred four tis in a row, she beca truly frightened.
The guards must be changed!
“You two, quickly go find guards Hai Yun and Hai Qian to co over.
Have them wait for outside the City Lord’s quiet room,” she hurriedly instructed her handmaidens after walking a few steps.
