With Wuying gone after she dragged the Elder to the Treasury, Yi stayed behind, taking care of the entrance under her Wuying"s absence. When Yi looked at the lady laying on the ground, she couldn"t help but sigh. She wasn"t as brutal as Wuying but knew it was necessary to get their blackmail to look believable.

"Are you okay?" Yi questioned as she crouched next to the lady.

"Huh…?" the Staff lady was ultimately confused by the kind smile on Yi"s face.

"Don"t worry, we are just here to rob your Sect. We don"t plan to kill anyone this time," Yi a.s.sured as she helped her up, letting the lady sit on the pillar that was supposed to bring her pain.

"This time?" the lady asked unconsciously.

"We don"t kill unless someone fights back. At that point, we don"t hesitate anymore. Either you kill or you get killed," Yi replied as she shrugged before frowning, gazing at the entrance.

Poof!

Her body turned into stars and recreated by the entrance. Her ability let her use all the stars in the lobby as the extension of her body, using it to move from one place to another in a blink of an eye. It was one of the top ten abilities Fate Spirits had to offer, so its power would only grow even stronger.

She quickly scanned the outside with her Spirit Awareness only to have it pushed back by multiple Cultivators probing the inside of the Treasury.

They have been discovered.

"You are so f.u.c.ked right now," one of the guards commented with a grin only to eat Yi"s Air Bullet in the face which knocked a few of his teeth. Although Yi was more lenient, it didn"t mean she would let others stomp on her.

Without hesitation, she vanished once again, releasing thousands upon thousands of new stardust, filling the whole lobby. It looked like a mist, restricting everyone"s vision. She had to go all out to buy as much time as possible.

Inside the open Treasury, Wuying was already claiming all the treasures in sight, filling her Storage Ring to the brim. At first glance, one could tell the Sect wasn"t in good shape but when compared to their old Liu Clan Treasury, it was still more equipped.

Naturally, Wuying wasn"t merciless. She didn"t take everything, knowing many lives depended on the Sect. Moreover, if she emptied the whole Treasury, the Sect would for sure hunt them down with full force. It wasn"t worth it. Even if they still had some stock left in Sect Master"s hands, the Red Cloud Sect wouldn"t be able to swallow such loss.

Because of that, she planned on taking only one-fifth of everything, including the Upgrade Fragments they needed so much to improve. There were tens of thousands stored inside the back of the treasury but the moment she tried to touch them, an immense pressure a.s.saulted her body and soul.

"Thief! Leave before I destroy your soul!" A loud male voice struck her but Wuying already expected it. Every Treasury had a Guardian Spirit, protecting the treasures inside.

Wuying quickly pulled out a crystal necklace and crushed it without hesitation.

Bzzzz!

Spirit Qi buzzed as a sudden barrier wrapped around Wuying, nullifying the pressure completely. She swiftly dashed towards the bags filled with Upgrade Fragments, grabbing one after another. She immediately envied Xuefeng who would just use his Bloodline Ability to sweep all the treasures at the same time.

But, Wuying had her own methods. Blood Qi lines flew out from her hands and began tightening around countless bags, pulling them to her for a quick claim. There were hundreds of them so Wuying didn"t worry too much, taking whatever she could.

For the Sect of their size, it was still too little Upgrade Fragments so she guessed most wasn"t even in the treasury.

Boom!

Suddenly, the ground trembled with a big bang coming from the lobby, causing Wuying to turn around. She had trust in Yi"s abilities but she couldn"t help to worry for Yi, ditching the last few bags as she rushed back to the lobby.

Just as she thought, Yi was already in the middle of a battle with multiple Red Cloud Sect disciples that broke through inside the Treasury. Her slim hands swung the giant sword as it was nothing, wounding one cultivator after another but it didn"t come without any sacrifice.

Her body got pierced multiple times in a short duration but she didn"t even have a scratch. The weapons" edge pa.s.sed through her body which only burst into stardust, returning to the original right after. They didn"t seem to know how to handle Yi"s ability at all.

"Sister! We are leaving!" Wuying called out as she rushed to battle, her Blood Lines mixing into Star Dust, instantly tangling around multiple opponents. She knew very well Yi couldn"t endlessly use up her ability.

Fate Qi was not only harder to get but it also determined if she lived or not. Once her Fate Qi is emptied, her soul would be destroyed as well. Even if her ability was powerful, it was a double-edged sword.

Arghhh!!

Disciples cried out, dropping to the ground as Wuying cut their throats with one quick slash, dropping the idea of not killing anyone. Their lives were more important.

"Let"s break through!" Wuying called out as she killed her way towards the entrance while Yi followed closely behind, collecting her stardust on the way.

When they saw the sun again, Wuying"s heart sunk.

"Surrender or die! You cannot escape!"

Hundreds of Red Cloud Sect"s robes filled both the skies and the ground, aiming their weapons and Arts at the Treasury entrance. Behind them, a thick barrier, locking down s.p.a.ce in the whole area.

The Disciples seemed like they were ready to unleash all the power at any suspicious movement from them and Wuying knew it was enough to break through their defenses. They could handle a few Immortal Stage cultivators, but not a hundred or more.

"Wait!" Wuying cried out, displaying her Storage Rings. "If you move, I will detonate my Storage Ring, destroying all the Treasures we stole! Everything will be gone within seconds!"

The Disciples" faces paled, holding back. The whole scene froze, leading to an awkward stalemate.
