This morning, the first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to look at the cabinet where the suitcase was placed. However, the cabinet was empty.
Keep in mind, the Fragrance-Sensing Divine Jade cost forty-two thousand Essence-Building Pills. Even if Flying Dragon Gang is a first-class martial arts sect, it can’t withstand such a painful loss.
Master Wind and Master Fire rushed over upon hearing the commotion. When they learned that the Fragrance-Sensing Divine Jade was missing, their faces turned extremely grim.
“Young Master, with your cultivation, even in a deep sleep, you should wake up if someone enters the room. How could you sleep through it?” Master Wind sternly questioned.
Lance Eliot rubbed his forehead and gritted his teeth, “When I woke up, I felt dizzy. The thief must have used some kind of drugging!”
Imagine the Young Master of the Flying Dragon Gang falling into a deep sleep due to some drug and losing the Fragrance-Sensing Divine Jade. If this got out, it would be a massive blow to his prestige.
Master Fire had a thoughtful expression on his face, “It must be a martial artist who came for the auction. But who could it be?”
“Who else could it be? It must be the Ghost Carving Sect. Those second and third-rate martial arts sects wouldn’t dare steal from Flying Dragon Gang, even with a hundred times their courage,” Lance Eliot asserted.
Master Wind’s voice turned cold, “This is outrageous. We haven’t even made a move against them, and they dared to strike first!”
“Two elders, we don’t know if the people from Ghost Carving Sect have left during the night. Let’s go check the courtyard where they stayed first.” Lance Eliot said, taking the lead out of the yard.
If they could catch someone red-handed in the Ghost Carving Sect’s residence, they could report it to the East family, who managed East Town, and have the Ghost Carving Sect dealt with.
In just a few minutes, the three of them rushed into the Ghost Carving Sect’s courtyard.
Just as they were about to rush into the room, the room’s door was slammed open with a loud “bang.”
Gavin appeared at the door, his eyes cold, and a murderous look on his face. “Thieves from the Flying Dragon Gang, you stole the spiritual beast egg of my Ghost Carving Sect and dare to come knocking on my door!”
“Gavin, stop playing the innocent. Hand over my Flying Dragon Gang’s Fragrance-Sensing Divine Jade!” Lance Eliot pointed at Gavin, shouting in a cold tone.
“Don’t act so innocent. Take a look at this!” Gavin extended his right hand.
In Gavin’s right hand was a crow with its head hanging, long dead. It was precisely one of the crows released by the Flying Dragon Gang the previous night to transmit information.
Seeing the crow in Gavin’s hand, Lance Eliot’s expression changed involuntarily.
Gavin sneered, “This crow was intercepted by my people from Ghost Carving Sect outside the town last night. If I’m not mistaken, you should have released two. This crow told me that Flying Dragon Gang plans to attack us in the Falling Sunset Mountain’s alley. If that’s the case, why are you so eager to steal the Thunderwing Beast egg from my Ghost Carving Sect!?”
After saying this, Gavin exerted force in his right hand, and the crow turned into blood.
Having his scheme exposed, Lance Eliot couldn’t conceal the expression on his face. However, to maintain his momentum, he stared firmly at Gavin and questioned, “I think you’re the one pretending. You stole the Fragrance-Sensing Divine Jade from my Flying Dragon Gang last night, and now you’re claiming we stole your spiritual beast egg. Quite amusing!”
“Stop pretending here, isn’t it Flying Dragon Gang that stole it? Could it be the spiritual beast egg hatched and ran away on its own?” Gavin’s veins bulged on the back of his hand.
Looking at Gavin’s angry expression, Lance Eliot mocked, “Gavin, your acting is indeed impressive. If you go to Hollywood, you might become a movie star.”
In Lance Eliot’s view, the people from Ghost Carving Sect discovered the crows they released for information. Intercepting the message, they acted first, stealing the Fragrance-Sensing Divine Jade, then turning the situation around, accusing Flying Dragon Gang of stealing their spiritual beast egg.
It must be the case!
“Stop bluffing here. If you don’t hand over the spiritual beast egg now, I’ll make sure you all die here!” Gavin released a powerful inner force, and his eyes started turning red.
At that moment, ten figures burst out, surrounding Lance Eliot and the others.
Among these ten people, the leader was the red-robed old man who sat next to Gavin at the auction yesterday. The other nine were dressed in black and red Ghost Carving Sect uniforms, with a red skull emblem embroidered on the left chest.
The appearance of these people made Lance Eliot’s face darken, and his hands involuntarily clenched. “Ghost Carving Guards, I didn’t expect you to bring the Ghost Carving Guards.”
The Ghost Carving Guard was a group of specially trained elites by Ghost Carving Sect. They had no concept of life and death; as long as they could eliminate enemies, they were willing to die alongside them.
“Do you think I’m unaware of the ambitions of your Flying Dragon Gang? If I didn’t bring the Ghost Carving Guard, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to the valley alive. Since you dared to steal the spiritual beast egg from my Ghost Carving Sect, be prepared to face the consequences!” Gavin released a powerful killing intent, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Initially, Lance Eliot wasn’t afraid of Gavin, but the presence of the Ghost Carving Guard forced him to reassess.
“Gavin, this is East Town, do you not know the rules here? Dare you lay hands on me?” The East family was an ancient and prestigious top-tier martial arts clan. Even during the peak of Ghost Carving Sect, they wouldn’t dare provoke the East family, let alone now.
Gavin was aware of the rule against fighting within East Town. Hearing Lance Eliot’s words, his expression froze for a moment, then coldly said, “You Flying Dragon Gang stole my Ghost Carving Sect’s spiritual beast egg. Even if I kill you now, the East family will understand. If there’s a price to pay, I’m not afraid!”
“Your Ghost Carving Sect’s shamelessness is quite impressive. Clearly, you stole the Fragrance-Sensing Divine Jade from my Flying Dragon Gang. Do you think the East family will believe your claims?” Lance Eliot scoffed.
Hearing Lance Eliot mention the stolen Fragrance-Sensing Divine Jade again and seeing Lance Eliot’s expression, which didn’t seem like he was lying, Gavin felt something was amiss.
But now wasn’t the time to think about these things. The interception of the crow was solid evidence of Lance Eliot’s group intending to attack them.
Even aside from this matter, the Flying Dragon Gang would undoubtedly become a significant threat to the Ghost Carving Sect in the future. If they could eliminate the Flying Dragon Gang’s assistant leader and two elders here, it would significantly weaken the Flying Dragon Gang’s strength, benefiting the Ghost Carving Sect without any harm.
Thinking of this, Gavin raised his right hand and shouted sternly, “Get them!”
After giving the order, Gavin retrieved the Ghost Carving Claws, attached them to his hands, and then shot forward. The razor-sharp steel claws aimed directly for Lance Eliot’s throat.
