Chapter 34: The Guardian of the Hidden Treasure Pavilion

The night sky was like a heavy navy blue curtain. The few remaining stars hanging upon it were dim. The moonlight was obscured by very thick clouds, with feeble light seeping through.

In brief, it could be summarized into one short phrase: a moonless high wind night. It was the best day to commit a crime.

In the dark of night, two black silhouettes quietly disappeared from the farthest and smallest courtyard in Su Manor with a leopard's gracefulness.

Nangong Liuyun's speed was like lightning. Even though he was carrying Su Luo, he was still extremely fast.

The heavily guarded Manor of Great General Su, the protector of the country, was a place that made others flinch in fear. Yet he actually appeared to look casual, confident, and at ease; as if he was taking a leisurely stroll through his own back garden.

Nangong Liuyun was at attention, was sober and calm, and was also on sharp alert. He seem to be capable of anticipating danger in advance.

He lead Su Luo; sometimes they walked, and sometimes they stopped here and there. They occasionally hid in the shadows, hid in flowering shrubs once in a while, and sometimes flew on the top of trees. He was always one step ahead of the guards and was always well hidden when the patrol walked by.

Su Luo carefully memorized the route they walked in and the patrols they encountered with narrowed eyes and pupils dilated from the exhilaration.

It had been a long time since she felt this kind of blood boiling excitement.

What "leave the organization and live in seclusion within the forest and mountains"? As expected, in her bones, she really liked this type of crisis ridden dangerous situation; it truly made a person's heart accelerate.

The corners of Su Luo's mouth tiled into a smile of exhilaration.

Soon they arrived at the Hidden Treasure Pavilion.

The Hidden Treasure Pavilion was forbidden ground built in Su Manor's backyard. This place was not an area that a normal person could get close to.

The Hidden Treasure Pavilion was only three stories high. The outside looked very plain and old; it completely lacked any magnificent and luxurious feelings.

At this time, the interior of the Hidden Treasure Pavilion was pitch-black. Not a trace of lamplight could be seen, and its main entrance was locked with a special mysterious iron padlock.

The mysterious iron padlock shone with a sliver of cold light under the moonlight.

The gate was not protected by a guard and was also soundless.

Nangong Liuyun made a simple gesture towards Su Luo, signaling that he would lure the opponents out for Su Luo to take the opportunity to enter and plunder.

In her previous life, Su Luo did a lot of similar stuff like this, so Su Luo clearly understood and nodded her head.

Nangong Liuyun indulgently patted her head. Under Su Luo's glowering gaze, he lifted his mouth into a devilishly charming smile, took the lead, and walked out.

His movements were very fast. He was like a flash of light and onlookers could scarcely see his figure. Even if they could see it clearly, they would only see a clump of shadows, and perhaps believed that their vision had become hazy.

His footsteps were even more agile. He was like a dragonfly that skipped on water; his footsteps seemed as if they never touched the ground.

Nangong Liuyun turned his body around like a sparrow hawk; his foot stepped off the ground and flew towards the second floor of the Hidden Treasure Pavilion. But right at this moment, in the depths of the darkness, a strong wind suddenly headed directly toward him.

He's here!

Nangong Liuyun's handsome face that was hidden behind the mask spread out into a smile. He did not retreat. From the pit of his stomach, he raised together a red-hot halo directly into his palm. Borrowing the power of the wind to strongly strike, he maneuvered it to mount a sneak attack against that person.

The sneak attack was mounted against none other than the guardian of the Hidden Treasure Pavilion.

This was a black robed elderly man. Only a body enveloped in the black robe could be seen; even his head was covered by a black mantle, and his face could not be clearly seen. But one could feel his ice-cold and murderous eyes.

If one spoke about seniority in the family hierarchy, this was Su Luo's second great uncle.

He was Su Luo's grandfather's second little brother. Since he was a child, he grew up immersed in martial arts. When he was young, he wandered the world but now came back, returned to the family, and guarded the Hidden Treasure Pavilion all year round.

It was also because of this sixth step expert for a guardian that there were only visitors and no successful robberies of any kind. Instead, they all lost their lives.

Therefore, from then on, the Hidden Treasure Pavilion only had this sixth step expert for a guardian.

This was Su Manor's secret. Outsiders were not aware of this, but naturally, Nangong Liuyun was an exception.


Chapter 35: Strong Intent to Kill

The moonlight was hiding within the thick clouds; it only revealed a slight trace of light, making it hard to see clearly.

In the shadows of the night, Su Luo, who was hiding behind the pillars could not see clearly, but she didn't dare impudently look. She could only use her peripheral vision to see a little.

Su Bowu coldly stared at Nangong Liuyun as a trace of murderous intent flashed across his eyes: "The Treasure Pavilion is sacred ground. Unauthorized people should turn around and leave immediately."

Nangong Liuyun laughed but his eyes were freezing cold. His manner was completely different from how he acted in front of Su Luo, "And if I insist on entering?"

"Kill without regard!" Su Bowu's voice was heartlessly grim and unfeeling. It faintly penetrated the dark night with a hair raising feeling of horror.

His voice revealed his self-assured confidence.

Over the years in the Su Manor, the Hidden Treasure Pavilion was always very safe because it was protected by this sixth step elder. Throughout the entire Eastern Ling Empire, there were very few who were stronger than a sixth step expert; they could all be counted on one hand.

This was why Su Bowu could have such confidence.

Prince Jin's entire body was hidden beneath a layer of black garments; the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile as his eyes flashed with an insolent fierceness: "Kill without regard? Then let's see who will kill whom."

"Such arrogance! Since you want to die so much, then this old man will grant your wish!" Su Bowu's mouth curled into an icy sneer, as his eyes now brimmed with murderous intent. A pair of eyes with a sinister gaze stared at Nangong Liuyun as if he was looking at a dead man.

After guarding the Hidden Treasure Pavilion for so many years, it was not as if he had never seen a thief before, but he had ever guarded against such an arrogant thief before.

Su Bowu had just barely finished speaking when a pair of scorching hot Iron Sand Palms was sent to attack Nangong Liuyun. The wind send by the palm carried a flaming blaze that was hot enough to roast a person.

Su Bowu was a fire attribute mage. As a young man, he travelled across the entire world and his Iron Sand Palms were famous throughout the entire Eastern Ling Empire.

He was obviously infuriated by Nangong Liuyun since his first move was a killing strike.

Each move was heartless and unfeeling with a strong intent to kill.

Nangong Liuyun did not panic; the corner of his mouth slightly smirked as his eyes coldly pressured. His entire body was covered in thick unyielding power and awe-inspiring dignity.

The Iron Sand Palm brought a flaming blaze that aggressively headed toward him with threatening heat.

Nangong Liuyun turned both of his hands and clasped them together. As soon as he separated them, a huge round ball of water was pulled from the center of his palm and ejected forward——

When the Iron Sand Palm meet the ball of water, it was immediately extinguished.

A touch of astonishment flashed across Su Bowu's eyes. He never thought that this thief would have such high martial skills; unexpectedly, the thief was able to break through his most famous move.

"Good, since you're wholeheartedly begging to die, then have a taste of my Hell Fire!" Su Bowu's voice barely ended before both his hands successfully agglomerated individual fireballs. One after another, the fireballs attacked Nangong Liuyun and completely surrounded him in all directions.

"Ah——" Nangong Liuyun was unable to suppress a sudden cry of pain. His right hand held onto his left arm as he fiercely glared at Su Bowu. "As long as the mountains stand and rivers flow, till we meet again!"

The sound of his voice had not dropped and he simply withdrew using a strange skill. But there was clearly a trace of shakyness to his stature, and he seem to be heavily injured.

"You want to come and go as you please? What kind of place do you think Su Manor is? Stay!" Su Bowu coldly snorted a few times and countless number of small fireballs shot towards Nangong Liuyun.

But it seemed as if Nangong Liuyun had eyes on the back of his head. He strangely dodged and side-stepped, and just couldn't get hit.

This time, he really angered Su Bowu!

He coldly snorted a few more times, and immediately moved his body to give chase!

But outside of his expectations, Nangong Liuyun's speed did not seem to slow down as he aimlessly fled all over Su Manor.
