Chapter 1301 - 1301: Treasure Room Disappeared

In addition to the various treasures and valuable items that served as aids, his dimensional space also possessed the ability to accelerate energy absorption, allowing Zheng-Fu to absorb energy from those aids at twice the speed as before. Therefore, he estimated that he could level up successfully within three days.

Aside from Zheng-Fu, all the skilled masters there went to get their cultivation resources and started entering closed-door cultivation as well. When everyone learned that they could fully use the resources to become stronger, they were more excited and eager to cultivate energy.

Of course, this situation caused Elder Bo-Tian quite a headache, because he was responsible for allocating resources to everyone in the most appropriate way. Since each of them had different energy levels, the number of resources given had to be different. And by the time this task was finished and the situation calmed down, time had passed until the end of the day.

Back at the main meeting hall at the Dark Crescent Secret Force headquarters...

"What the hell is going on?! Who can tell me?" Big Chief asked angrily and madly about the cause of the chaos that had been going on since that morning, and it was almost evening before it finally calmed down.

"Big Chief, those crazy people are all from the Thirteenth Unit, sir."

The Thirteenth Unit?!

"Yes, sir! We've investigated, and they're all from the Thirteenth Unit. As for the reason why they went crazy, we still can't find the cause. But from my guess, I think they might have been infiltrated by the fire element because they all just promoted their energy level."

Infiltrated by the fire element?!

"What you said may be possible. However, if that's really the case, they should still be conscious. But from the report, they're completely unconscious. No matter what we do, they won't stop unless they die! This is beyond being infiltrated by the fire element!"

Erm!

It's…

No one dared to answer when they saw the big chief's angry expression and demeanor. All the elders and unit chiefs kept their heads down in silence. Even the confidant elder chose to remain quiet and say nothing.

"Then where is Thirteenth Unit Chief? Why didn't he come to deal with his unit members going crazy?"

Err...

"What's it?! Hurry up and say it!"

"Thirteenth Unit Chief disappeared, sir. We've already asked everyone if anyone has seen him. The treasure room guards said that he went to the treasure room during the chaos, and after he left, no one saw him again, sir. All the guards and the unit chief on duty there checked every exit, but they all said he didn't go anywhere."

Hah?!

"Did he go to the treasure room? What was he doing there? Did something happen to the treasure room?!" The big chief felt uneasy when he heard that. Even though he knew that the treasure room had multiple layers of security, he still could not help but worry.

"He went to get the medicine as ordered, sir. According to the guards, he didn't act suspiciously or do anything unusual, so they..."

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Report, sir, Big Chief!

Ah?!

"What happened? Why is your face so pale and anxious? Did something happen to the treasure room?!"

While one of the elders was reporting on Zheng-Fu's visit to the treasure room, a middle-aged man who was guarding the entrance of the treasure room rushed into the meeting hall in a hurry and panicked.

"It's so terrible, sir, Big Chief. I don't know what to say. Big Chief, please go and see for yourself, sir!" The guard did not know how to report, so he asked the big chief to follow him to the place where the incident happened.

Hah, is that so?!

"Then let's go quickly!"

No matter how curious he was, when he saw that his subordinate could not explain, the big chief agreed to go and see for himself.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Of course, all the elders and skilled masters in the hall followed the big chief to see for themselves what exactly happened and why the guards at the entrance of the treasure room looked so anxious and worried.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

A few breaths later…

"Big Chief, please check it yourself, sir," the guard immediately said when they arrived at the treasure room.

Umm!

Flop!

Creeeaaak!!!

Hah?!

As soon as the treasure room door was opened, the big chief exclaimed in shock at what he saw in front of him. It was completely different from before. Originally, the door would be opened along with the activation of its tactical formation, and it would immediately connect to the treasure room. It was not just opening an ordinary door. However, this time, when he opened the door, it was like opening the door of an ordinary room.

What happened?!

The big chief's face instantly turned pale and gloomy, making him look decades older as he saw that the treasure room that should be there had disappeared, leaving only an empty room that was set up as a trap for those who wanted to steal the force's treasures.

"What happened? Why did this happen? How are you two guarding this place? Or did someone break in and destroy the treasure room connection spell?!" he asked the two guards anxiously. If all the treasures were really gone, the Dark Crescent Secret Force would definitely be doomed.

"We don't know what happened either. No one has come here for the past few days. Until this morning, when the Thirteenth Unit Chief came. However, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Moreover, we checked everything thoroughly after he came out," one of the guards explained everything he knew and remembered.

But…!

"While I was taking him inside, he kicked a chest once. I wonder if this is related?" another guard added when he suddenly remembered something.

Hah?!

"Then what happened after he kicked the chest?" The big chief did not know if this was related, but in any case, it was a suspicious matter that should not be overlooked.

"No, sir. After he kicked the chest, nothing happened. It only took me a few minutes to move the chest back into its place..."

Wait!

"Does that mean you took your attention away from him for a while?"

Err...

"Yes, sir. But it was only for a few breaths. And even though I wasn't looking at him, I kept sensing his actions the whole time. He didn't move or do anything…"

Damn it!

"You're so stupid! Just the chest moved a little; you wouldn't have to pay any attention to it. Or if you want to move it back into place, you should wait for that person to go outside the room first. Sigh!"

"I was wrong, Big Chief, please forgive me!"

The big chief immediately became furious and yelled at the two guards. Although the chance to take action was very low, if they were stronger than the two guards, they could do something without them knowing. In just a split second, that would be more than enough for them. With this incident, the big chief was certain that Lou-Seng, whom he had met and talked to for the past few days, was not the real Lou-Seng, but someone else in disguise.

"If Lou-Seng really was someone else who had disguised himself, then that means his report about the Men Clan's mission was also fake, right? Oh no! Quickly order all our units to withdraw all their forces from attacking the Men Clan!"

As soon as he analyzed and found the possibility, the big chief's eyes lit up with understanding before he ordered his forces to withdraw from the battlefield.

Big Chief!

"What about the treasure room? Is it still here?"

However, the important elders and skilled masters in the force did not care about withdrawing from the battlefield. They were more concerned about the treasure room. If the force did not have resources, how could it continue to be an organization? The reason why most people joined this force was because of the good compensation and full support of cultivation resources. Therefore, if these things were lacking, no one would want to work for the force anymore.

"We still have to investigate this matter. Send someone to invite the five Senior Elders to come back. We'll talk again when they come back!"

Umm!

Many people were dissatisfied with the big chief's answer, but they could not disobey or express their dissatisfaction. After all, the strongest person was him. If they showed dissatisfaction and rude behavior, their lives would be over. Moreover, as he mentioned, the five Senior Elders, fear immediately appeared in everyone's eyes.

The five Senior Elders were the core of the force. They had been there since the founding of the force until now. They were very strong, about to step into the half-step Supreme Deity Stage. Or maybe they had already advanced to that stage.

"We understood, Big Chief!"

"Whoever did this, I'll definitely not let them go. Now quickly order our people to withdraw from the battlefield first, and have someone investigate what happened during the time our force was in chaos, no matter whether it was big or small news, gather them all!"

Yes, sir, Big Chief!

Being the big chief of the assassin force requires one to dare to think, dare to act, and dare to make decisive decisions at crucial times. And of course, he must have also taken into account the members of the force, because if he decided to do something that affected them, those people would resign from the force. And when the force lacked members, it and he would not be able to be great.

As soon as the order to withdraw was given, confusion and incomprehension immediately arose among those on the battlefield. But since this order came directly from the big chief, not from their unit chief, all members had to withdraw, unable to do anything else. Although disappointed and regretful, not a single person hesitated and refused to obey the order.

The withdrawal of the Dark Crescent Secret Force gave Men Clan's force fighting at the front a chance to catch their breath and treat the wounded. However, they did not let down their guard in the slightest. On the contrary, they increased their defense even more.
