Chapter 1102: Chapter 492: Unwilling to Hand Over, Go Get It Personally!_4 Chapter 1102: Chapter 492: Unwilling to Hand Over, Go Get It Personally!_4 If he truly came in here, having seen all the treasures and rare collections along the way, how could he not have been tempted to take even the smallest item?

It’s absolutely impossible!

Therefore, the so-called act of entering the Royal Treasury to take an item is nothing more than a farce.

As stray thoughts continued to flash through his mind, Li Lao pressed deeper into the depths of the treasury.

A few breaths later.

“Impossible!!!”

The white-bearded Li Lao suddenly cried out in shock.

“What’s the matter?” Ji Hao’s voice rang out, and his figure appeared beside Li Lao.

Behind them, General Xiong and Ji Yueyue also hurriedly followed.

The four of them were now standing in a corner of the treasury.

This corner was reserved for those mysterious treasures whose origins were unknown. Because their backgrounds and effects were unknown yet their materials clearly indicated that they were valuable, they were all placed in this corner of the treasury.

At this moment, Li Lao looked at the empty tray on the shelf in front of him with a face filled with horror and disbelief.

“Has a treasure really gone missing?” Ji Hao asked in an extremely solemn tone.

Hearing the deep voice next to him, Li Lao came back to his senses.

He nodded with difficulty: “Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, indeed a treasure is missing.”

At this moment.

The burly General Xiong also wore a look of disbelief as he immediately spoke up: “Li Lao, could it be that you have remembered wrongly?”

Ji Hao said gravely, “That’s impossible! Li Lao is a Saint of the Seventh Heavens; how could he possibly misremember such a trivial matter!”

The white-bearded Li Lao took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, gradually calming the shock in his heart.

“Your Majesty, a treasure has indeed gone missing from the treasury.”

“What treasure is it?” Ji Hao asked seriously.

His face was as tranquil as an ancient well, but his heart was anything but calm.

Jiang Yuan’s silent disappearance right in front of his eyes was already miraculous enough.

Now, without alarming anyone or making any noise, Jiang Yuan had penetrated his Royal Treasury and taken a treasure.

This was simply impossible; he could not comprehend how Jiang Yuan managed to do it.

Upon hearing Ji Hao’s inquiry, the elder slowly began, “A pearl, a dusty pearl!”

“Do you know its origin?” Ji Hao asked.

The white-bearded Li Lao shook his head: “It is precisely because its grade, origin, and effects are unknown that it was relegated to this corner of the treasury.”

At the same time.

The burly General Xiong then spoke up with a horrified expression.

“Your Majesty, who exactly is Jiang Yuan? How did he manage to do this?”

“It was one thing for him to vanish into thin air right before me, but to also infiltrate the heavily guarded Royal Treasury and take whatever treasure he wants, ignoring all protective prohibitions.”

“He…” General Xiong swallowed nervously: “How on earth did he do this?”

Upon hearing this, Ji Hao still maintained a solemn demeanor and shook his head: “I don’t know! Unless we go and ask him personally, I suspect only he himself understands this matter! But even if we were to ask, he might not necessarily tell us the truth!”

Just then, Ji Yueyue, smiling from ear to ear, said, “I told you so! My little junior brother is not one to make empty boasts!”

“My little junior brother is such a polite person! Having the ability to enter the treasury without being detected by anyone and take the treasure he desires.”

“Yet, he still waited at the Imperial City gates for the Emperor’s summons.”

“The Emperor could have formed a good relationship with such a heaven genius, but instead insisted on becoming enemies. Now my little junior brother must certainly bear a grudge!”

Hearing his daughter’s words, Ji Hao couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

“You! You!!!”

Immediately afterward, Ji Hao sighed deeply: “It seems I truly underestimated him! No wonder he dared to do such a thing, issuing a declaration to all under heaven that in seven days, his Transcend Tribulation and ascension to sainthood will occur. With such means, who in the world could possibly contend with him?”
