Chapter 34: The Guardian of the Treasure Pavilion

The night sky was like a dark blue curtain, with only a few lingering stars, their light dim. The moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, emitting only a faint glow.

In short, it could be summarized in one sentence: a dark and windy night, perfect for murder and arson.

In the darkness, two black figures, as agile as civet cats, quietly disappeared from the side courtyard of the Su Residence.

Nangong Liuyun's speed was as fast as lightning; even with Su Luo, he still flew very quickly.

The heavily guarded Grand General Protecting the Nation's residence was a daunting place for others, yet he moved with a carefree attitude and elegant demeanor, as leisurely as if strolling through his own backyard.

Nangong Liuyun's senses were clear, sharp, and alert. He seemed to be able to predict danger in advance.

He led Su Luo, stopping and going, occasionally standing in the shadows, sometimes hiding in flower bushes, and sometimes flying onto large trees, always managing to conceal themselves from the Guards' patrols a step ahead.

Su Luo carefully memorized the route they took and the patrolling Guards they encountered, her eyes slightly narrowed, a radiant glow in their depths.

It had been a long time since she felt such a surge of excitement.

Retiring to the mountains and leaving the organization? Deep down, she still loved these dangerous situations the most; they truly made her heart race.

A smile of excitement appeared on Su Luo's lips.

The Treasure Pavilion was reached quickly.

The Su Residence's Treasure Pavilion was built in the Forbidden Land of the backyard; ordinary people could not even approach it.

The Treasure Pavilion was three stories high in total, and its exterior looked very simple and old-fashioned, completely lacking any sense of luxury or splendor.

At this moment, the Treasure Pavilion was pitch black, with no trace of light, and the outer door was locked with a special Profound Iron Lock.

The Profound Iron Lock flashed with a cold gleam in the moonlight.

There were no Guards at the entrance, nor was there any sound.

Nangong Liuyun made a simple gesture to Su Luo, indicating that he would carry out the 'lure the tiger away from its mountain' strategy, while Su Luo would seize the opportunity to sneak in and steal.

In her previous life, Su Luo had done similar things many times, so she nodded in understanding.

Nangong Liuyun dotingly patted her head, and under Su Luo's glare, he curled his lips into an evil smile and walked out first.

His movements were extremely fast, like a flash of light. Others could barely see his figure; even if they did, it was just a blur, and they might even think they had imagined it.

His footsteps were even lighter, like a dragonfly skimming the water, his feet barely touching the ground.

Nangong Liuyun, like a hawk turning over, tapped his toes on the ground and shot towards the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion. However, at this moment, a strong gust of wind suddenly struck him from the darkness.

They're here!

Nangong Liuyun's handsome face beneath his mask broke into a smile. He did not retreat, instead channeling a scorching aura in his chest, directly using the force of the palm strike to redirect it back at the attacker.

The attacker was none other than the Guardian of the Treasure Pavilion.

This was an old man in a black robe. His entire body was shrouded in the black robe, and even his head was covered by a black hood, making his appearance unclear. However, one could feel that his eyes were cold and filled with Killing Intent.

In terms of seniority, he was Su Luo's Second Granduncle.

He was Su Luo's grandfather's second brother, immersed in the martial Dao since childhood. He ventured outside in his youth, and after returning, he rejoined the Family and has guarded the Treasure Pavilion for many years.

It is precisely because of this Sixth Rank expert's protection that, even though some people have visited the Treasure Pavilion over the years, no one has been able to take anything, and instead, all have lost their lives.

Therefore, from then on, the Treasure Pavilion has been guarded by this one Sixth Rank expert alone.

This was a secret of the Su Residence, unknown to outsiders, with the exception of Nangong Liuyun, of course.
