Chapter 4183: Great Desolate Jade Soul

The Waiter also sensed the commotion outside, but quickly returned to normal: "Young Master, this is a city lockdown!"

Ye Bufan asked again, "Why the city lockdown?"

"Something big must have happened. Savage Ancient Holy God is apprehending a thief. Young Master, don't worry, there will probably be a result soon, and everything will return to normal then."

The Waiter sighed with emotion at this point, "It's been a few years since the city was last locked down. I wonder who angered Savage Ancient Holy God this time."

Ye Bufan nodded. He wasn't very interested in such matters.

The Waiter then warned, "Young Master, during the city lockdown, you must not go out, or you will be killed without mercy."

"I understand."

Ye Bufan couldn't gather much useful information from him, so he waved his hand, dismissing him directly.

After the Waiter left, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.

Ye Bufan also returned to his bedroom. Since he couldn't go out for now, he decided to do something useful. He took out the Qiankun Yukong Technique and began to study it.

This Cultivation Technique was too profound and extensive, and space was the most difficult element to control, making cultivation extremely challenging.

The Qiankun Yukong Technique was divided into three stages. Xuanji Emperor had Cultivated for so many years and had only just reached the Minor Achievement Realm of the first stage.

With Chaos Cultivation Technique as his foundation, Ye Bufan's cultivation speed was thousands of times faster than ordinary people, but it still required a process.

It would still take some time to reach the Major Achievement Realm of the first stage, perhaps a few months, or even a year; it was hard to say exactly how long.

Just as he was deeply immersed in his cultivation, a loud bang suddenly came from not far away, followed by Xiao Qing's angry scolding.

"Oh no, something happened!"

Ye Bufan realized something was wrong. His figure flickered and disappeared from his spot, reappearing in another room nearby.

They had a private courtyard, with two people living in each room. This room was where Xiao Qing and Jin Meier resided.

At this moment, the room was damaged, with a large hole by the window, indicating someone had forcibly broken in through the window.

The other side was even more tragic, with half the wall directly shattered by a spear light, clearly Jin Meier's doing.

Ye Bufan asked, "What's going on? What happened?"

"Some bastard, I don't know where he came from, suddenly entered our room."

Xiao Qing clenched her fists, full of indignation, "If Ye Dage hadn't told us not to go out, I would have chased that guy down and twisted his head off to kick around like a ball."

It turned out that she was bored staying in the room and was playing Tetris when an uninvited guest suddenly broke through the window and rushed into the room.

The person was extremely fast and didn't stop, directly passing through the wall on the other side.

Although Jin Meier launched her spear, her strength was still a bit lacking, and she couldn't stop the opponent.

Xiao Qing had the strongest strength, but her reaction was half a beat slow, and it was too late to act when she finally wanted to.

"It should be the thief Mangu City is currently pursuing."

Ye Bufan didn't see exactly what happened, but he had a basic guess: the person was likely cornered and fled here.

Since it had nothing to do with him, he no longer paid attention to it. He looked at the two people in the room with concern, "Are you two injured at all?"

Jin Meier shook her head, "We're fine."

"It's just that guy ran fast, otherwise he would have been in big trouble…"

Xiao Qing was still full of indignation, but halfway through her sentence, her expression suddenly froze, and her gaze fell on the Eight Immortals table in the room.

"What is this?"

A white jade box, about a foot square, had appeared on the tabletop.

There had been no objects on the table before, but now there was an extra box, which looked very conspicuous.

Ye Bufan looked at the three of them, "Isn't this yours?"

Xiao Qing and the other two shook their heads in unison: "No, absolutely not. We didn't take anything out."

"Could it be left by that thief just now?"

Ye Bufan frowned. Currently, this was the only possibility; otherwise, a jade box couldn't have appeared out of thin air.

As they were talking, people from other rooms heard the commotion and gradually gathered here.

"Whatever it is, let's open it and see first."

Xiao Qing said, about to act, but Ye Bufan pulled her back.

There was a Formation Seal on this box, and they couldn't see what was inside, so it was better to be careful.

He had everyone step back and prepare for defense, then transformed a Dao Body to step forward and open the jade box.

The moment the lid opened, everyone's hearts tightened, but there was no danger.

However, an incredibly rich Prehistoric Energy then surged out from the box, overwhelming everything.

This place was originally War God Heaven, where Prehistoric Energy was abundant, but compared to the energy in this box, it was far too little, simply a world of difference.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, the Dao Body reached into the box and pulled out something larger than an adult's fist.

It appeared to have no luster, was entirely earthy yellow, yet it constantly emitted a rich Prehistoric Energy.

"taihuang jade soul!"

As everyone watched, Jin Meier exclaimed. Others might not recognize this item, but as a member of the Prehistoric Race, she recognized it at a glance.

Although she had never seen it before, this item was a legendary existence in the Prehistoric Race. It was neither stone nor jade, but condensed from countless pure Prehistoric Energy.

The amount of Prehistoric Energy it contained was incomparable to other treasures, including the previous Taihuang Xuanjing.

The difference between the two was like the gap between High Grade immortal crystals and Medium Grade Rank, a complete qualitative difference.

She never expected to see such a treasure with her own eyes today, and such a large piece at that.

Ye Bufan was equally shocked. Having obtained the second Legacy of the Ancient Medical Sect, he naturally also recognized the taihuang jade soul. For the Prehistoric Race, this item was an absolutely rare and sought-after treasure.

He was now certain that Mangu City's drastic actions, even resorting to a city lockdown, were all to track down this item.

Xiao Qing looked at the taihuang jade soul with some confusion, her mind unable to process it immediately: "Sister Jin, is this a good thing?"

Jin Meier's expression was excited: "Of course it's a good thing! I only need half of it to step into the Desolate War God Realm."

In fact, this statement was very conservative. If she used half of the taihuang jade soul, she would definitely not just be a first Rank Desolate War God, but certainly higher.

However, she couldn't say what level she would reach, as she had never come into contact with a treasure of this Rank before.

Hearing her say that, Xiao Qing was a bit confused. That guy ran here but left behind a treasure. What was he trying to do?

Hearing their conversation, Lu Banxia reacted immediately: "Oh no, Ye Dage, quickly put it away! This is a setup to frame us!"

When she said this, everyone understood. Although this item was good, it was stolen goods, taken from Savage Ancient Holy God, and now it would likely bring unwarranted disaster.

Ye Bufan shook his head, "It's already too late."

Not to mention whether Savage Ancient Holy God had marked this item, the Prehistoric Energy currently erupting from it was practically soaring into the sky.

The entire Mangu City could see it clearly; there was no way to hide it.

Sure enough, just as his words fell, a huge clamor came from outside, followed by countless guards rushing over, their target clear: the small courtyard where Ye Bufan and the others were staying.
