"Even if someone has managed to snatch the treasure before us, in such a short time, they can't escape from the blessed land of the Qingxu Sect. Some of you, immediately block the exit. I'm going to find those people from the Three Great Families. No matter what, we can't let them succeed!" Zhu Hong's face glowed with anger as he spoke through gritted teeth, his tone becoming somewhat rude.

Zhao Qing raised her eyebrows slightly but nodded in agreement: "Alright, it's settled!"

Because Zhao Qing understood, Zhu Hong's anger wasn't targeted at her.

All these people were seething with anger. They'd spent half a day negotiating only to decide on the ownership of the two treasures.

But they hadn't anticipated that someone else would seize the opportunity first. The feeling was even more disgusting than swallowing a fly, a sheer mockery.

Whether it was Zhu Hong or Zhao Qing's group, they all turned their suspicious gaze towards the Three Great Families.

If the other party could find the treasure, break the barrier, and disappear under their noses in such a short time, they must have known about the ruins long ago, and they must also be extremely powerful!

It's highly likely... they're an old ancestor at the Primordial Infant realm!

The Three Great Families of Jinxiu City, which they hadn't paid much attention to previously, had now become key in locating the thief.

Therefore, even if Zhu Hong hadn't mentioned it, Zhao Qing and the others wouldn't give up on seeking clues from the Three Great Families.

In this case, the three families in Jinxiu City were in serious trouble.

However, thanks to Chu Mo's reminder, people like Lu Zheng and Jin Dongnan from the Three Great Families were more vigilant than before.

But after entering the palace of the Qingxu Sect and seeing an abundance of inheritance techniques and various treasures, many people subconsciously let go of their caution.

Wealth moves the heart.

Seeing the mountains of treasures in the storeroom of the Qingxu Sect, presented as plainly as a naked woman, who could keep calm? Who could remain indifferent?

The Lu family had the greatest number of Golden Pill realm powerhouses, therefore, they truly gained an advantage in obtaining the most treasures!

They found the scripture repository of the Qingxu Sect the soonest. Inside the repository were tens of thousands of various scriptures and techniques... an abundance of ancient books that made the Golden Pill realm powerhouses of the Lu family turn red-eyed with desire.

Furthermore, there was the Qingxu Sect's warehouse, filled with various rare ores, semi-finished products, finished products, and all kinds of spiritual weapons... countless treasures!

This place was a real massive treasure trove!

Grab!

Just one word!

Because at this moment, the people from the Hong and Jin families also arrived.

The three families still retained a inkling of sanity, knowing they shouldn't start fighting here. Once infighting began, the consequences would be unthinkable.

In other words, none of the three families could afford the loss!

So, it was just a matter of who was faster.

Since the Lu family had more Golden Pill powerhouses and had seized the initiative, they took away half of the tens of thousands of books. They also snatched a lot of ores, spiritual weapons, and other treasures.

Right now, Lu Zheng, after collecting several storage rings, called Lu Tianyue over and said in a deep voice, "Tianyue, you get out first!"

"Eh? Why?" Lu Tianyue was playing with a spiritual weapon sword in her hand, looking at the inscription on the blade with a bit of obsession. Hearing her father's words, she paused.

"I just received news that a potential Primordial Infant realm powerhouse has broken in. He has injured many people from the Three Great Families outside. Among them is also a young Golden Pill powerhouse from the Blood Demon Sect!" Lu Zheng's face was very solemn. He glanced at the equally serious Hong Qiang and Jin Dongnan in the nearby area and whispered, "They probably got the news as well. However, no matter what they do, you must leave now!"

"If that's the case, let your daughter leave with you." Lu Tianyue looked at her father with concern, "If a true Primordial Infant realm master arrives, none of us here are a match!"

Lu Zheng's face revealed a trace of hesitation, but he eventually shook his head, "No, there's still too much here that we want. Fortune comes from risk. We can't lag behind the other two families."

Lu Tianyue said, "Preserving life is the most important thing!"

Lu Zheng patted Lu Tianyue's shoulder and said, "Don't worry too much. Primordial Infant realm powerhouses may not be interested in what's in the scripture repository. As for the Golden Pills... we are not afraid of them. Besides, our Lu family still holds some influence in the Spirit Realm. However, you must leave immediately. Remember your father's words, in case..."

"Don't you dare say that!" Lu Tianyue looked at Lu Zheng, "You must promise me…"

"My daughter, listen to me!" Lu Zheng looked seriously at Lu Tianyue, "Any accident can happen on the path of cultivation. It is a cruel journey and life and death often hang in the balance. But once embarked upon, there's no escaping it. Remember your father's words. In case... something truly happens to me, you must immediately take your younger sister to Lingdong Mountain to find your master."

"Nothing will happen!" Lu Tianyue insisted.

For some reason, Lu Zheng had a bad premonition in his heart, but he didn't want to think about it too much. He gave Lu Tianyue a deep look, "Daughter, all I have is you two. You must remember your father's words, go quickly!"

"Alright, I'll wait for you at home to return safely!" Lu Tianyue didn't waste any more time and turned to leave.

There, Jin Ming, under Jin Dongnan's instructions, along with a few brothers and sisters, also left one after another.

The Hong family followed the same procedure, the core disciples, carrying storage rings, quietly left.

None of the leaders of the Three Great Families were fools. After receiving news from outside, they all made arrangements immediately. They prepared for the worst and hoped for the best.

The palace complex built against the mountain was very close to the entrance. So, these people quickly left through the entrance without bothering about the outside battlefield, disappearing quickly into the vast night.

Shortly after they left, Zhao Qing and the others appeared at the entrance. The five of them stood there, their eyes coldly staring at the palace complex built against the mountain.

At this time, Zhu Hong, the Primordial Infant realm powerhouse, had already pounced over, letting out a series of sharp cries, and shocks of alarm soon rang out from the palace complex.

Accompanied by it were screams of fear.

Wu Man slightly furrowed her brows, saying, "Qing Ge, do you think the person who beat us to it might have already left?"

Sun Hai said, "Yes, if that person was clever enough to beat us to it in the first place, why wouldn't they know to leave?"

Zhao Qing said, "As long as that person has something to do with the Three Great Families, then... even if they have left, we will find them sooner or later!"

"What if they don't?" Song Wan said quietly from the side, "Wouldn't we have offended the three families for no reason?"

Zhao Qing's mouth twitched, falling silent for a while.
