Open up and break into another world

“You all wait outside!” Ao Xiang said to the elders, then stepped directly into the treasure vault.

Xu Ming, with his blade against Ao Tian's neck, ignored the furious gazes of the Hidden Kill Sect elders and followed closely behind.

This was Xu Ming's second time entering a major power's treasure vault; the last time was back in Cloud Arising City, when Xu Ming quietly looted the Lin family's vault, setting him on the path to the peak of his life.

Months later, standing in a treasure vault once more, Xu Ming felt a sense of familiarity!

The air was thick with the unique scent of a treasure vault, a scent Xu Ming couldn't help but savor—the scent of freebies!

Xu Ming immediately began to observe the layout of the treasure vault.

The Hidden Kill Sect's treasure vault also had its various treasures categorized and stored separately, each protected by individual formations.

“Tsk tsk tsk…” The sheer volume of treasures dazzled Xu Ming. “The Hidden Kill Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier Yellow-rank power; there are so many treasures in the vault that I can't even take it all in!”

Xu Ming only glanced around roughly before determining that the treasures here were worth at least ten million low-grade Xuan stones!

As for the exact amount, he'd only know once he'd emptied the place.

“Xu Ming!” Ao Xiang said coldly, “I've brought you into the treasure vault! You can pick and choose whatever you want here!—But, after you've picked and chosen, you must release my son!”

“That's only natural!” Xu Ming said with a smile, “I'm only here for the wealth, not to take lives!”

“Hmph!” Ao Xiang scoffed dismissively, “Hopefully!”

However, in his heart, Ao Xiang felt mostly disdain—daring to rob the Hidden Kill Sect's treasure vault? Was this Xu Ming out of his mind? Once he rescued his son, would Xu Ming even have a chance to live?

Having already written Xu Ming off as a dead man, Ao Xiang appeared particularly “generous”: “Speak! Whatever you fancy in this treasure vault, just say the word!—I only ask for my son's safety!”

Just say the word?

The corners of Xu Ming's lips curled slightly: “Is there even a need to say it?”

“Hmm?” Ao Xiang was taken aback—what did he mean?

Xu Ming continued: “Is there even a need to say it?—All of it, everything, pack it all up for me; I want to take it all away!”

What?

Ao Xiang almost doubted his ears.

All of it?

Everything?

Pack it all up?

Take it all away?

Ao Xiang stared blankly at Xu Ming: “Boy, your appetite is a bit too big, isn't it!”

Xu Ming didn't think so: “It's not often I get to visit your Hidden Kill Sect's treasure vault; I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to come again! Now that I'm here, of course I have to take as much as I can!—Hey, didn't you say I could just say the word if I saw anything I liked? I've said it, so why aren't you packing it up for me?”

Ao Xiang's voice was deep and cold: “You want it all, is that right?—Fine!”

With that, Ao Xiang actually took out an empty storage ring and began packing treasures into it.

“You want it all?” Ao Xiang sneered inwardly, “Then I'll give it all to you, so what?—Anyway, once I kill you later, these things will all return to their rightful owner!”

Of course, Xu Ming could guess why Ao Xiang was so readily helping him “pack everything up”.

He looked at Ao Xiang's busy figure and thought with malicious intent: “When I take the treasures and suddenly vanish into thin air right before everyone's eyes, I wonder what their expressions will be…”

Xu Ming had already decided to reveal the secret of his “invisibility”.

As his cultivation grew higher, the various secret techniques Xu Ming came into contact with became increasingly miraculous. Although "invisibility" was much more incredible than other secret techniques, even if it were exposed, it would probably just be regarded as a special secret technique.

Soon, Ao Xiang had filled a storage ring; however, he hadn't even finished packing a single category of treasures—the Hidden Kill Sect's treasure vault simply had too many treasures, far more than a single storage ring could hold.

“Can't fit anymore?” Xu Ming redeemed a large handful of storage rings from the Artifact Shop, as many as several dozen, and tossed them over: “Here, keep packing! I have plenty of storage rings; just say the word if you run out of space!”

“Hmph!”

Ao Xiang caught the storage rings and diligently continued packing.

Meanwhile, Xu Ming, with his blade against Ao Tian's neck, watched Ao Xiang “pack” with great satisfaction.

…

At this time, the Hidden Kill Sect elders outside the treasure vault were very puzzled.

They were ordered to wait outside the treasure vault, so naturally they didn't know what was happening inside.

“Huh? It's been so long since they went in, why haven't they come out yet?”

“Could it be that Xu Ming is still choosing treasures after all this time?”

“That's too slow, isn't it? He's just picking a few treasures, why is it taking so long… My greatsword is already itching, just waiting for him to come out!”

“I think, probably, in a small sect like the Barbaric Sect, there are too few treasures. This kid has never seen the world before, and now that he's entered our Hidden Kill Sect's treasure vault, he's instantly stunned; then he's been dawdling for so long, not knowing what to choose!”

“That makes sense, I guess that's what's going on!”

“But speaking of which, this kid named Xu Ming is really stupid! He actually dared to kidnap the young sect master and use it as a threat to rob our Hidden Kill Sect's treasure vault… Does he think he can leave the Hidden Kill Sect alive?”

…

After the elders had been discussing for a long time, Xu Ming finally came out of the treasure vault, with his blade against Ao Tian's neck.

Xu Ming's face still wore a look of satisfaction.

“Heh! Just looking at this kid's face, you can tell he must have chosen some satisfactory treasure in the treasure vault!” A middle-aged elder with thinning hair sneered.

Ao Xiang followed not far behind Xu Ming and also came out.

“Sect Master!” The middle-aged elder with thinning hair couldn't help but curiously transmit his voice, “What treasure did this ignorant kid choose? Why does he look so satisfied?”

Ao Xiang's icy gaze immediately fell on this talkative elder: “Why are you talking so much nonsense!?”

The talkative elder with thinning hair was so frightened that his face turned green, and he didn't dare to utter another word, meekly retreating to the side.

Ao Xiang had absolute authority in the Hidden Kill Sect, and no one dared to challenge him!

However, the talkative elder couldn't help but feel puzzled—what was wrong? What did I say wrong? Why is the Sect Master so angry?

Angry?

Of course, Ao Xiang was angry!

He hadn't been playing around in the treasure vault for so long, but rather doing hard labor, packing treasures!

He had filled a full thirty storage rings before completing the packing of all the treasures in the treasure vault!

At this time, a stupid X elder actually came up to him with a smile and asked: “What treasure did this ignorant kid choose?”—Wasn't he just asking for a scolding?

Ao Xiang had already given him face by not slapping him on the spot!

“I've already done as you said!” Ao Xiang looked coldly at Xu Ming, “You should release my son Ao Tian now, right?”

“Don't rush! The treasures are still in your hands, aren't they?—I haven't even received the treasures yet, how can I release him?” Xu Ming said with a meaningful smile, “I think, how about this, let's go to the outside of the Hidden Kill Sect together, and then, we'll exchange the treasures for the person!”

“Alright!” Ao Xiang agreed without hesitation.

He didn't believe that even if they reached the outside of the Hidden Kill Sect, Xu Ming could pull off any tricks. Would he sprout wings and fly away? Or would he disappear into thin air?
