"The Heavenly Dao Tower?"
Ye Yunfei was taken aback, not expecting the news this Wizard spoke of to be about the Heavenly Dao Tower.
In fact, the Heavenly Dao Tower was currently on Ye Yunfei's person.
However, Ye Yunfei had hidden the Heavenly Dao Tower within his soul sea, using a trace of his heavenly emperor soul power to conceal the tower's aura.
Thus, even though so many factions were focused on the Heavenly Dao Tower, none could discover its whereabouts.
"Yes! What I say is absolutely true! And the location where the Heavenly Dao Tower emerged is right within the Xuanhuang Star Domain and several nearby star domains. Right now, many forces from the Tianluo Star Sea have dispatched experts to investigate the tower's whereabouts. Some super sects from the central star domains have even received the news, I know for sure, and have sent people to search for the Heavenly Dao Tower."
The Wizard spoke quickly and urgently, seemingly afraid Ye Yunfei wouldn't believe him.
"This news seems rather useless to me."
Ye Yunfei smiled faintly.
The spirit sword inched forward, pressing against the Wizard's throat. Chilling sword energy enveloped the Wizard.
"Young man, the Heavenly Dao Tower is a supreme treasure of this universe! Surely you desire to obtain it! I can help you!"
The Wizard exclaimed in panic.
"No need. You can go and die."
Ye Yunfei spoke coldly.
Pfft…
The spirit sword stabbed forward, severing the Wizard's head. He died on the spot.
"So this many factions already know about the Heavenly Dao Tower's emergence. So many experts coming to the Xuanhuang Star Domain will bring great disaster. I need to think of a way to divert them."
Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
Six days later.
"Master, the Star Nation lies ahead."
Hu Miao suddenly announced.
Ye Yunfei emerged from the Phantom Tower and stood within the spaceship, gazing into the distance.
Ahead lay a bustling and prosperous star domain.
This star domain before them was called the Guyue Star Domain. The primary planet of the Guyue Star Domain was called Guyue Planet.
It was the headquarters of the Star Nation!
"What's the plan?"
The Giant Arm appeared beside Ye Yunfei and asked.
"Our goal is to seek wealth. Moreover, although you are powerful, it's not suitable for you to act too much. If you leak too much of your aura, it will easily draw the attention of your enemies."
Ye Yunfei pondered and then said.
"True. How about this: locate the position of the Star Nation's imperial palace treasury, then find a way to sneak in and plunder it."
The Giant Arm agreed.
"Good."
Ye Yunfei smiled.
Ye Yunfei put away the spaceship, then activated his movement technique, quietly heading towards Guyue Planet.
On Guyue Planet stood an immense city, its area so vast it seemed like a prehistoric beast crouching on the land.
This was the location of the Star Nation's imperial city!
Teams of soldiers patrolled around the imperial city, maintaining security.
Ye Yunfei entered the imperial city.
The imperial city was enormous, the streets thronged with people, bustling with activity.
"The imperial palace."
Ye Yunfei's gaze shifted to the depths of the imperial city, where there was a city within a city.
The imperial palace!
Soon, Ye Yunfei arrived before the imperial palace.
At the palace gates stood over a hundred guards at the Imperial Realm.
Inside the palace, numerous formations were deployed, emanating immense formation power. Faint illusory images of dragons and phoenixes could be seen, creating a majestic sight.
"Looks decent."
Ye Yunfei assessed it briefly and smiled faintly.
Then, Ye Yunfei moved from a secluded corner, stealthily approaching the palace.
Although many formations were deployed within this imperial city, they could not hinder Ye Yunfei's steps.
A short while later, Ye Yunfei successfully passed through the array of formations and entered the imperial palace.
Sneaking through the palace, Ye Yunfei captured dozens of eunuchs and ministers for questioning. Finally, from an old eunuch, he learned that there indeed was a treasury within the palace!
The entrance to the treasury was within a palace building called the Desuchu Palace.
Inside Desuchu Palace, six Lightning Tribulation Realm experts were stationed guarding it!
Moreover, over a dozen high-level grand formations heavily protected Desuchu Palace.
Ordinary people simply had no means to enter!
Whoosh!
At the entrance of Desuchu Palace, a figure abruptly stepped out from deep within space.
It was Ye Yunfei.
Without hesitation, Ye Yunfei strode directly inside.
Boom… Boom…
The formations within the palace reacted, releasing waves of formation power that crashed towards Ye Yunfei.
"Paltry formations dare to hinder me?!"
Ye Yunfei gave a light shout.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei charged forward, each step landing on a crucial point. He completely ignored the rolling tide of formation power. In less than a second, he passed through over a dozen grand formations and rushed into the palace interior.
"Who goes there!"
Inside the palace, six terrifying auras erupted like volcanoes. Six old men appeared simultaneously, glaring furiously at Ye Yunfei.
These six old men were all Lightning Tribulation Realm experts, specifically stationed here to guard the imperial treasury.
Over a dozen high-level formations, plus six Lightning Tribulation Realm experts, plus the location deep within the imperial palace—this treasury could be described as impregnable.
Unfortunately, they had encountered Ye Yunfei!
"Senior, take action!"
Ye Yunfei shouted lightly.
Rumble…
The Giant Arm instantly appeared, opening its huge palm to grab at the six old men.
"What?!"
The six old men, sensing the energy pressure emanating from the Giant Arm, all paled drastically.
Facing this giant arm, even breathing became difficult for them; their entire bodies went weak.
In an instant, all six old men were caught in the Giant Arm's single grasp, held immobile within its palm.
Ye Yunfei, meanwhile, flashed and arrived deep within the palace.
"So there's a concealment formation here."
Ye Yunfei swept his sleeve.
Boom…
Space trembled as a formation slowly manifested, opening to both sides.
A dark, gloomy tunnel entrance appeared before Ye Yunfei.
"Senior, let's go in!"
Ye Yunfei charged into the tunnel with the Giant Arm.
A short while later.
Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm entered a vast subterranean palace.
This was an underground treasury!
Piles upon piles of treasures dazzled the eye!
At least one-third of the Star Nation imperial family's wealth was stored here!
"At the fastest possible speed, clear out this treasury!"
Ye Yunfei summoned Hu Miao, Huang Shang, and several hundred Imperial Realm slaves from the Phantom Tower.
Everyone swarmed forward, frantically collecting treasures.
At the same time.
In a palace hall within the imperial palace.
The Star Nation's emperor and a group of ministers were discussing affairs of state.
"Your Majesty! Something seems to have happened at Desuchu Palace!"
A eunuch rushed into the hall, shouting loudly.
"What! Come, let's go see!"
The emperor's face changed drastically. He immediately rose and charged towards Desuchu Palace.
Because Desuchu Palace was the location of the imperial treasury!
A short while later, the emperor led a large contingent of followers into Desuchu Palace.
"Something has indeed happened!"
The emperor roared in fury.
The five Lightning Tribulation Realm experts guarding the treasury within the hall were all missing.
The concealment formation deep within the hall had also been broken, revealing the treasury entrance.
Shocked and enraged, the emperor charged into the treasury entrance.
"Follow and protect His Majesty!"
The ministers at the rear hurriedly followed.
"Roar... The treasury has been cleared out! Who? Who did this!"
Soon, the emperor's furious and exasperated roar echoed from within the treasury.
By this time, Ye Yunfei had already traversed space and arrived outside the palace, hiding deep within the spatial fabric.
"Investigate! Even if we have to dig three feet under the entire imperial palace, we must find out who did this!"
The emperor, followed by the ministers, stormed out of the treasury, bellowing harshly.
Immediately, batch after batch of troops began appearing throughout the palace, searching everywhere. The dense masses of soldiers almost filled the imperial grounds.
However, Ye Yunfei's movement technique was too profound. By entering deep into space, he left no traces whatsoever to track.
The Star Nation had two Wizards. The remaining one immediately began performing divination.
But Ye Yunfei possessed the Sky Shrouding Cover.
The Sky Shrouding Cover tightly concealed the auras of Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm. The Wizard could not deduce any clues.
"What we just plundered was the imperial family's treasury. It's likely that the civil and military ministers also have many treasures stored in their homes. Let's pay each one a visit and plunder all the treasures hidden in those ministers' residences as well."
After discussing with the Giant Arm, Ye Yunfei made a decision.
Thus, Ye Yunfei began moving towards the mansions of those ministers within the imperial city.
A short while later.
"Report to the Prime Minister! All assets in the mansion have been plundered!"
"Report to the Minister, thieves have infiltrated the Minister's mansion and stolen everything!"
"Report to General Liu, disaster has struck! Your home has been completely emptied! Many elite guards have been killed."
…
The ministers, who were following the emperor searching everywhere in the palace for the culprit who stole the imperial treasury, suddenly received reports one after another from messengers from their own homes.
Every single minister's residence had been plundered clean. Not a single one remained!
"Who? Who did this! How dare they! Not only did they steal the entire imperial treasury, but they also robbed all the ministers' homes! Who is this audacious!"
The Star Nation emperor trembled with rage, his face paling with fury, yet he had nowhere to vent his anger.
"Gone... all gone... The wealth I painstakingly accumulated over half a lifetime... all gone."
"The efforts of my entire life…"
Some ministers couldn't accept the reality, their expressions sorrowful as they muttered to themselves.
By this time, Ye Yunfei had already entered the depths of space and quietly departed.
A day later, astonishing news began to spread.
The assets of the Star Nation's imperial family and all the ministers' homes had been looted and plundered!
When the news spread, the surrounding star domains were shaken.
Somewhere in the starry sky.
Ye Yunfei's spaceship was flying.
Ye Yunfei entered the Phantom Tower.
Hu Miao and Huang Shang, leading several hundred Imperial Realm slaves, were sorting through the assets obtained from the Star Nation's imperial city.
Piles upon piles of valuable assets stretched as far as the eye could see.
"No wealth is gained without windfall—that saying is so true! So, who is our next target for robbery?"
The Giant Arm looked at the mountain of assets with great satisfaction and asked Ye Yunfei.
"The Pang Clan and the Miao Clan. Next, we will eliminate all the branch strongholds of these two forces! Moreover, the more resources we plunder, the faster your strength can be restored. Once we are strong enough, we will directly storm the gates of the Miao Clan and the Pang Clan!"
After thinking for a moment, Ye Yunfei spoke.
"Brother, you are truly a ruthless man. Good! I'll play along with you!"
The Giant Arm said.
"You've helped me. In the future, I will help restore the strength of your other body parts as well. Then, you might have the chance to seek revenge on your enemies. And that day will not be far away."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Brother, just based on those words, this old Shi will definitely accompany you in storming the gates of the Pang Clan and the Miao Clan!"
The illusory figure of a burly man appeared above the Giant Arm, patting his chest as he spoke.
