Chapter 1966: Chapter 1966: Sweeping Through the Treasure Vault

Fortunately, that person eventually ”showed mercy” and only took half of the red crystal before hurriedly leaving.

Looking at the red crystal, now reduced by half, Ye Haochuan felt as if his heart was bleeding.

At this moment, he felt as if his own possessions had been stolen. Heaven knows, that was two or three hundred thousand red crystals that could buy countless lollipops and cookies!

But feeling heartache is useless, since these things aren’t theirs yet.

After adjusting his mindset, Ye Haochuan no longer went on to ”pursue” the ”theft” behavior of those people. He hid among the red crystals, focusing on cultivation, while occasionally observing the outside situation with the Heavenly Eye.

, The entire Gu Family was ransacked, and no one thought of the Treasure Vault. After all, it’s guarded all the time by two Immortal Transformation Experts; escaping the watchful eyes of these two is impossible.

, The entire town, whether officials or merchants, was fully searched, and among families without power, looting and pillaging were rampant.

But everyone could only dare to be angry silently. The Gu Family’s influence was overwhelming, not something they could confront.

By the third day, the entire town, including the Gu Family, was filled with smoke and cries of misery, like it had undergone a great disaster.

Once again, it proved that Ye Haochuan’s choice was correct. If they had chosen to escape earlier, amidst such intense searches, it would have been incredibly difficult to completely evade capture, unlike now, safely cultivating among the red crystals.

The Gu Family’s members were worried-faced as they realized the culprit was nowhere to be found.

Gu Tian, the second son of the Patriarch of the Gu Family, was of poor aptitude and not very favored, but was still part of the direct lineage.

The family head was struggling to contain his anger, as his son was killed and the culprit was not apprehended— not even the motive for the assassination was known.

Moreover, the Patriarch of the Gu Family, Gu Shangji, was notoriously hot-tempered, having even slaughtered a direct lineage branch, let alone a mere peripheral family.

Their end seemed inevitable.

Many Gu Family members had already started to make final preparations, packing their belongings, ready to run away.

Instead of waiting here to die, it was better to plan early; perhaps they could escape with their lives.

This sentiment spread like a plague, and soon, people began taking action, becoming uncontrollable.

The Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage cultivator initially tried to prevent it, but in the end, he too wavered. He was fully responsible for protecting Gu Tian, and now with Gu Tian dead, he would certainly be the first to be held accountable.

His fate could be anticipated. After much struggle, he chose to run away on the third night.

He even felt somewhat fortunate, as he was single, without family in the Gu Family’s main house; otherwise, escaping would not have been so easy.

However, his hatred toward Ye Haochuan was deeply rooted. The person who caused him to lose a stable backing, forcing him onto a fugitive path, was now one of his lifelong assassination targets.

Although he didn’t know Ye Haochuan’s appearance yet, he decided to hunt him down with all his might.

His departure was unquestionably the final straw for this Gu Family branch. The Chief Steward there could no longer sit still and decided to flee as well.

But before escaping, he chose to head toward the Treasure Vault first.

”We have to leave!” Seeing many rushing toward the Treasure Vault, Ye Haochuan frowned and said.

He wasn’t worried about them discovering him; rather, it was obvious that they were coming to loot the vault. If all the goods were taken by them, it would be a huge loss for him.

He himself hadn’t expected that merely assassinating one person would cause such upheaval in the Gu Family; the town’s leading force was seemingly collapsing.

He had no sentimental ties to the Gu Family, so naturally, he felt no guilt. But now, his plans were completely disrupted.

Getting out now was clearly not the best time. Though the Gu Family was in disarray, it hadn’t completely collapsed; if discovered, these demotivated people might unite because of a sliver of hope.

After all, catching Ye Haochuan, the two culprits, would greatly mitigate their punishments, quelling the family head’s rage.

Yet, Ye Haochuan couldn’t bear to give up so many red crystals and herbal ores. So, he decided to act now, despite the risks, as success meant obvious rewards.

Compared to him, Le Yao wasn’t as concerned about the red crystals.

But Ye Haochuan wasn’t consulting with her; after notifying her, he began moving.

Le Yao, with no choice, followed along.

Their speed was swift; in moments, all the red crystals were collected. Ye Haochuan then headed straight to the herbal collection area. She was a medicinal cultivator determined to excel in alchemy, so herbs were a must.

Soon, a room full of various herbs was also looted by Ye Haochuan.

Just as they were about to enter the mineral storage room, the Chief Steward and his entourage reached the doorway.

Ye Haochuan dared not delay, directly abandoning the wealth in the last room, pulling Le Yao to hide beside the door. As these people opened the door, he used the invisibility ability to escape outside.

He felt deeply thankful to the Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage cultivator; had that guy chosen to escape during the day instead of at night, his invisibility ability wouldn’t have worked, creating real trouble.

They had barely walked far when they heard heart-rending roars from within the vault. Subsequently, under the Chief Steward’s strict orders, the Gu Family members frantically searched the area.

But this search ultimately didn’t last long. The inherently dispirited group, after finding nothing, quickly gave up and fled desperately.

By now, Ye Haochuan and Le Yao had already escaped the Gu Family.

This once bustling town now resembled a ghost town, with everyone staying behind shut doors, not daring to step outside.

In various corners, different corpses lay, including cruelly murdered swaddled infants.

Witnessing this scene, Ye Haochuan was profoundly shaken, maintaining a cold expression as he spoke to Le Yao: ”Had I known helping you would create such disaster, I wouldn’t have done it even at gunpoint!”

Indeed, he hadn’t anticipated that the Gu Family would act so insanely, seemingly not treating ordinary people as humans.

Le Yao bit her lip, defending herself: ”How can you blame me? I killed Gu Tian solely for revenge. The actions of the Gu Family only reveal their heartlessness and inhumanity!”
