Lighting Lanterns in the Mountains and Seas

Chapter 549: Regret having too few books when needed


Yin Tianlu, who seemed somewhat anxious, was trying to find these guards and hurriedly said, "Quickly lift the restrictions on me. The magical treasure I lost in the Divine Fire Domain is nearby. I can cast a spell to drive my divine sense and control it to return by itself."

The guards reacted coldly, their attitude as if to ask, are you joking?

He didn't care what kind of magical treasure the other party lost; if he lifted the restrictions without permission and something happened, the trouble it would cause him was not something a magical treasure could solve.

He immediately asked unhurriedly, "What magical treasure?"

Yin Tianlu said anxiously, "It's the 'Heavenly Net Sword Bone Umbrella,' a high-level treasure among fifth-grade magical treasures."

Upon hearing it was a high-level treasure among fifth-grade magical treasures, the guard was visibly surprised and asked, "Where did you get such a high-level thing? Although the Extreme Fire Sect is an Artifact Refining Sect, they wouldn't casually distribute such high-level treasures, would they?"

Yin Tianlu was at a loss for words, but being under the eaves, he had to bow his head, so he patiently explained, "Divine Fire Domain, I said it was in the Divine Fire Domain. When entering the Divine Fire Domain, the sect rewarded us with magical treasures to cope with the competition, but later lost it by mistake in..."

He suddenly paused mid-sentence, recalling something, then exclaimed, "It's Shi Chun, Shi Chun is nearby!"

Remembering that these people were not here for Shi Chun, he shouted again, "It must be Shi Chun, I can find Shi Chun!"

The guard was also startled by his commotion and suspiciously confirmed, "Are you sure? You know the consequences of messing around."

Yin Tianlu spread his hands, "I've said everything, whether I should or shouldn't have. It's no different from betraying the sect. Is there any need to talk nonsense? Quick, quickly lift my restriction! I can find Shi Chun, I can find him, I..."

He was stopped mid-sentence because the guard dashed off, realizing only then that the guard couldn't make such decisions.

Indeed, that was the case; the guard ran to find the person in charge of the place.

The person in charge also dared not make an easy decision on this matter, but he could contact someone who could make decisions and promptly reported the matter using the Mother-child Talisman.

After a few back-and-forth communications, the person in charge hurriedly came to Yin Tianlu's side and questioned, "Are you saying that the high-level magical treasure you lost is in Shi Chun's hands?"

Yin Tianlu asserted, "Although it didn't directly fall into his hands at the time, I'm certain, the likelihood of it ending up in his hands afterward is high."

The person in charge pressed further, "Previously, Shi Chun was not far from you for quite a long time. Even if the magical treasure was placed in the Qiankun Bag, you should have been able to sense the presence of the Artifact Spirit. Why didn't you sense it before, but now you suddenly do?"

Yin Tianlu said, "It's the 'Boundless Banner' of Sky Covering Island. This treasure can create its own realm, causing any magical treasure taken by it to instantly sever its connection with its owner. During a confrontation in the Divine Fire Domain, in a moment of carelessness, I let the 'Heavenly Net Sword Bone Umbrella' collide with this treasure and get taken by it. Many people saw this happen at that time; you can verify this.

I had to investigate the sect that took my treasure, and it was an Artifact Refining Sect called the Four Cauldron Sect. They colluded with Shi Chun's group back then; they were in cahoots. Many sects knew about this and saw it.

Later, upon investigation, it was found that the people of the Four Cauldron Sect were all wiped out in the Divine Fire Domain, none of them came out, and it's very likely that the 'Boundless Banner' along with the treasures inside it ended up in Shi Chun's hands."

The person in charge pondered and said, "From what you're saying, since they were accomplices, the Four Cauldron Sect's demise should have been at the hands of others, and the items should have ended up in others' hands, so why conclude they are in Shi Chun's hands now? Are you implying Shi Chun got greedy upon seeing the treasure and, due to internal strife over it, killed his accomplices?"

Yin Tianlu was choked, for what the other party said made sense, but after thinking it over, he still insisted, "It's very likely that's the case. Think about it, my magical treasure, the 'Heavenly Net Sword Bone Umbrella,' just happens to show up here, just happens to appear in the area where Shi Chun is. Is it a coincidence?"

The person in charge fell silent, because what the other party said also made sense; it should not be a coincidence.

Yin Tianlu then suddenly seemed to recall something and said, "Also, at that time, there appeared a thunderstorm with countless thunderbolts crashing down like a Thunder Forest between heaven and earth. At that time, none who used magical treasures seemed to escape unscathed, it seemed that all the treasures were blasted to pieces by the lightning. Those present knew how tragic that scene was; 'Boundless Banner' should not have been spared either.

The greatest evidence is that no matter how dangerous the situations Shi Chun and his group encountered later, they were never seen using the 'Boundless Banner' to defend against anything, which is extremely unreasonable. It proves that the 'Boundless Banner' was also destroyed in that thunderstorm, probably why I couldn't sense anything before, because the magical treasure was always inside the 'Boundless Banner'."

To be able to recount those past events so clearly and logically shows how much effort he has spent on this matter after his treasure was taken.

The person in charge mused, "So what you're saying is, has the 'Boundless Banner' been repaired now and can be used again?"

Yin Tianlu hesitated and said, "I don't know if it's been repaired. Too many magical treasures were destroyed back then, and I haven't heard of anyone managing to repair them easily. They were all left waiting for an opportunity to be repaired later. I'm not sure how they retrieved it, but there's one thing I'm sure of: the other party wouldn't let my divine sense occupy the 'Heavenly Net Sword Bone Umbrella' forever. They would definitely want to erase it at the first opportunity and take its place. If I don't pursue it now while I still have a sense of it, I'm afraid I'll lose the chance to sense anything later."
