Chapter 791: The Stolen Divine Treasure, the Hope of Baiyu Tower
Taihang Academy, white jade courtyard.
This is a special courtyard in the VIP area of Taihang Academy. In the past, it was closed and no one was allowed to enter. Only the disciples of Baiyu Tower were allowed to stay here.
After all, it is the world's number one talisman sect. Not only do people often come to the Tianshu Pavilion of the academy to give lectures, but every year it also provides a lot of talismans to Taihang Academy free of charge for the use of Confucian scholars in the academy. Just for this reason, it is not surprising that it has a courtyard belonging to its own forces in Taihang Academy.
only……
This courtyard, which was usually extremely quiet and even seldom inhabited, was now in an uproar.
"What happened? Weren't you guys guarding here the whole time? How did it get stolen?"
“Why not give us an early warning?”
"How could something as important as the White Jade Inkstone be lost like this? Are you all pigs? You could lose something like this?"
"This is the academy, the Taihang Academy, filled with righteousness. How could you possibly lose something here? Are you sure you're not trying to frame us?"
A group of monks from the Baiyu Tower, dressed in white winter plum robes, were accusing several of their companions who were sweating profusely and at a loss.
No one can remain calm at a time like this.
Because the thing lost this time is called the White Jade Inkstone, and the White Jade Inkstone is one of the few treasures of the White Jade Tower, and it is also the core magic weapon of their operation!
but now……
lost!
Gone!
It was lost in Taihang Academy, under the guard of several disciples!
This is really the sky falling!!!
Facing the accusations and questioning from the crowd, the disciples who were sweating profusely looked aggrieved and tried their best to explain themselves with words such as "We didn't want that either", "It just disappeared out of thin air", "How could we have known that there would be thieves in Taihang Academy".
However, these words were immediately drowned out by the accusations as soon as they came out of their mouths. They were weak and nervous, and had no power to refute. Two female disciples even started crying out of anxiety. The scene was extremely chaotic.
"enough!"
At the critical moment, Ji Qinghan was able to hold the situation. She spoke at this moment and stopped the chaotic scene. She walked forward with a gloomy face, her eyes swept over the disciples one by one, and finally nodded to the leader with the highest cultivation level and asked:
"what happened."
"Sister..."
"Say!"
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" The disciple didn't dare to say more and immediately told the situation.
The reason why the disciples of Baiyu Tower went to Taihang Academy this time was mainly because the real person Baiyu calculated a direction from Xingyan Palace, the direction to find the mysterious talisman master behind Wanbao Tower. Real person Baiyu personally selected the personnel and Ji Qinghan led the team to Taihang Academy.
and.
In order to ensure that they could complete their mission, they also brought with them the extremely special white jade inkstone from the White Jade Tower.
This item is the key to completing the mission.
So, upon arriving at Taihang Academy, the White Jade Tower team immediately selected a few elite members to guard the White Jade Inkstone, while the others dispersed to search for clues, intent on finding the man. They even took out the White Jade Inkstone and made preparations in advance, ensuring they could use it immediately after discovering the mysterious talisman master.
Although no one in Taihang Academy thought that thieves would dare to do evil in this place, the disciples of Baiyu Tower also understood the importance of the Baiyu Inkstone, so they did not dare to be distracted and always remained on full alert.
Make sure not even a fly can get in.
But rather...
Something big happened today.
Wan Yun is active, and that level of activity is a great opportunity for any talisman master. As long as they can seize the opportunity, they can impact their realm, perfect their talismans, and may even directly induce the Dao rhyme of heaven and earth that they had not grasped before.
No talisman master can refuse such a great opportunity.
The disciples of Baiyu Tower in Baiyu Courtyard also did not want to miss it.
They didn't really forget their mission for the sake of opportunity.
In fact, when they seized the opportunity, they never left the room to ensure that if there was any problem, they could discover it at the first time.
But I didn't expect it.
I thought I was careful and safe enough, but an accident still happened.
"I swear, when Wan Yun was active, I saw Bai Yu Yan right next to me. But after Wan Yun was active and our understanding was complete, I found that Bai Yu Yan had disappeared without a sound, vanished out of thin air!"
"We don't know what happened."
"Our formation is clearly still active. If someone approaches, it will be activated immediately, and we can immediately exit our cultivation state!"
"Yes, and the white jade inkstone itself is in a semi-activated state, so it is impossible for someone to steal it silently."
"But...but the white jade inkstone just disappeared like that..."
"We didn't even notice it at first. It was only after we absorbed the insights that we realized the White Jade Inkstone was missing. We immediately sent you a message."
"We really didn't mean to do that."
"..."
These people were now full of anxiety, trying their best to explain the previous situation clearly, and the people who were listening to them couldn't help but frown at this moment.
They can't lie, especially in this situation.
that……
what happened?
There are formations here and people guarding it. Even the white jade inkstone itself is in a semi-activated state. Even if these people were concentrating on comprehending the Dao of heaven and earth before, they would be immediately awakened by the slightest movement. Theoretically, it is impossible for the white jade inkstone to be stolen.
"How strong must that person be to be able to steal the White Jade Inkstone so quietly?"
"That's not a question of strength. The White Jade Inkstone is the most precious treasure of our White Jade Tower. Even if you are the Supreme Being, without the secret method of our White Jade Tower, it would be impossible to steal the White Jade Inkstone so quietly."
"Yes, we still have formations."
"Above the Supreme, a powerful immortal?"
"Master?"
"How is that possible? The Master is a saint, he wouldn't do such a thing. Moreover, the White Jade Inkstone would be useless even if the Master took it unless I activated the secret method of the White Jade Tower. How could he do such a thing for something he couldn't use?"
"Apart from the Master, who else in this academy can achieve this level? This is Taihang Academy!"
"This……"
A series of speculations began to emerge, but after guessing for a long time, there was no reliable answer.
"If it really doesn't work, we can ask the academy for help. This is their territory, and the academy has a righteous spirit. All evil things will be exposed. If we ask the academy for help, we will definitely be able to find out who did it." Someone suggested reporting to the academy for help.
But the moment he opened his mouth, he was rejected: "No, the White Jade Inkstone is of great importance. If we lose it like this, not only will the whole world laugh at our White Jade Tower, but more importantly, once everyone knows about it, our purpose will inevitably be known to everyone. At least Mo Han Tower will definitely get the news. That old man will definitely guess what we are going to do, and then all our efforts will be wasted!"
"At this moment, the White Jade Inkstone is the key. If we really can't find it, all of us will be punished. We will all be sinners of the White Jade Tower!"
"But if the plan fails, we will also be sinners!"
"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. So what should we do?"
"..."
The dispute broke out again, and everyone panicked in the face of this situation.
At a loss.
"Stop arguing." Ji Qinghan interrupted the noise and rubbed his brows.
"First, contact the Sect Master and report the incident. Then, contact Taihang Academy and tell them that we have lost a valuable treasure. Do not mention the White Jade Inkstone."
"As for the others..."
"Haven't we investigated all the outsiders who came to the academy this time? We checked them one by one!"
"If it weren't for the Master, Taihang Academy wouldn't be a suspect. There were quite a few outsiders attending this assessment. Since something was stolen and the academy didn't intervene, these outsiders are the most suspicious. Focus on investigating those who didn't participate in the assessment today and those who haven't been seen much, and narrow the scope of the investigation as quickly as possible."
"What if it really is the Master?" someone was worried.
"If it was really the Master who did it, the result would be the same whether we investigate or not. We wouldn't be able to find anything anyway." Ji Qinghan shook his head.
"Go ahead and take the talisman with you. Although we don't know how that person took the White Jade Inkstone, since it has been activated, it cannot be deactivated immediately. Before it is completely deactivated, the White Jade Inkstone cannot be stored in the spatial magic weapon. This is our chance."
"be sure……"
"Find the White Jade Inkstone!"
As Ji Qinghan gave the order, the people who were originally at a loss stood up and left, taking quick action.
Ji Qinghan didn't join in the fun.
He just stood in the robbed house, frowning and carefully observing the clues around him.
a long time.
Ji Qinghan stopped and frowned, thinking hard.
"Have you found anything?" At this moment, a voice was heard. The voice seemed to appear out of nowhere, but there was no human figure.
Ji Qinghan was not surprised at all. He was still staring at the surroundings and shook his head:
"There's no sign of the formation being destroyed."
"There were no clues left at the scene. It was as if someone had broken through the void and taken the white jade inkstone away."
"So what were you thinking about just now?" the other party asked.
Ji Qinghan was silent for a while, then said softly, "I'm wondering if the White Jade Inkstone being stolen at this time is destined to doom our White Jade Tower, or is it a revelation from heaven, reminding us that our previous plan was wrong?"
"Hmm?" The man in the dark was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"Our purpose in coming here is to find the mysterious talisman master who can attract Wan Yun's worship. And for the future of Baiyu Tower, we plan to kill that mysterious talisman master so that he cannot reach Mohan Tower and can no longer become the chain on the cage of my Baiyu Tower."
"Just now, I found some clues and was about to activate the White Jade Inkstone..."
"The white jade inkstone disappeared without a trace."
"Do you think it's possible that this is actually Heaven telling us that our initial choice was wrong? Perhaps we shouldn't be hostile to that mysterious talisman master. Perhaps we can become friends?"
Ji Qinghan said this with confusion.
It seemed that she herself didn't know what to do next.
The mysterious man who was listening to her words fell silent. After a long silence, he said:
"Your idea... is very dangerous."
"Don't forget, this is the Sect Master's decision, and it's the order of your master, True Man Baiyu!"
"Now that you have such thoughts..."
"If you're not careful, the next place you might end up is the top floor!"
The word "top floor" caused Ji Qinghan's usually calm eyes to flash with a hint of fear, as if that was some unimaginable and terrifying purgatory.
It made her terrified.
After a moment of silence, Ji Qinghan pursed his lips:
"Since Xingyan Palace said that the hope of our Baiyu Tower lies in Taihang Academy, then we should look carefully in Taihang Academy for the hope of our Baiyu Tower..."
"What on earth is this..."
