Chapter 5005: The Astonishing Foundation of the Heavenly Court

Upon hearing this, everyone revealed a look of realization.

Indeed.

Previously, Mi Qingfeng had followed Xiao Fan to the treasury of the Nether Ghost Mansion, where he had made a killing.

If that was the case, everything made perfect sense.

Furthermore, the items in Mi Qingfeng's storage magical artifact bore no mark from the Heavenly Court.

This proved they were not the Heavenly Court's Heaven And Earth Treasure.

"Hahaha… Mi Qingfeng, don't be angry! We were just asking out of curiosity!"

"Exactly! We really didn't expect it! Old Mi! You're actually this wealthy!"

"That's right… You're too wealthy! Wealthy beyond imagination!"

"…"

Situ Kuang, Yan Jun, and several other Emperor Realm powerhouses spoke up, their tones carrying a hint of flattery.

In their eyes now, Mi Qingfeng was a massive tycoon, someone they had to butter up.

"Hehehe… Cut it out, do you hear me?" Mi Qingfeng sneered and said coolly, "These items were all hard-earned by me! I won't share them with you! Don't even think about it!"

Everyone: "…"

"Are you done checking? If you are, give it back to me!" Mi Qingfeng looked at Lin Tuo and said coolly.

"Hehehe… Here." Lin Tuo gave a bitter smile and returned the storage magical artifact to Mi Qingfeng.

Mi Qingfeng curled his lips and put away the storage magical artifact, his face clearly showing his displeasure.

Of course.

Everyone understood perfectly well why Mi Qingfeng was displeased; if it were them, they would certainly be unhappy too.

Who would want to be suspected for no reason?!

"Mi Qingfeng, don't misunderstand…" the Heavenly Emperor said slowly.

"I'm not misunderstanding anything!" Mi Qingfeng shook his head. "It's normal for you to be suspicious! But it really wasn't me! I don't have any Soul Fragment! I have even less authority! As for these items, I obtained them all beforehand!"

The Heavenly Emperor nodded, then suddenly asked, "Mi Qingfeng, why did you have a falling out with Xiao Fan? Can you tell us about it?"

Upon hearing this, Mi Qingfeng remained completely unfazed…

He had already prepared an answer for this question.

"Xiao Fan has no sense of loyalty! After we left the Ghost Mansion, the loot was divided unfairly! I got angry, took my share, and severed all ties with him!" Mi Qingfeng gritted his teeth. "After that… he came to our Heavenly Court, and I got into a huge fight with him! That's how it happened!"

"I see…" everyone nodded.

Situ Kuang suddenly asked, "That doesn't add up! How many treasures could possibly be in the Nether Ghost Mansion's treasury? Could it be… more than the treasures in our Heavenly Court's Treasure Vault?!"

"Hehe… The treasury of the Nether Ghost Mansion is quite average. However, the Ghost Lord's lair—the treasures there are endless! Let me tell you, even the dirt on the ground is Nether Gold Soil. Just imagine that!" Mi Qingfeng said with a shifty grin.

Upon hearing this, Situ Kuang, Yan Jun, and the others gasped.

"Nether Gold Soil? Is there a lot of it?!"

"It's boundless! Everywhere you look!" Mi Qingfeng grinned.

"…"

Hearing Mi Qingfeng's description, everyone felt a yearning for the Ghost Lord's lair.

They all expressed that if they ever had the chance, they would definitely have to visit it.

"Don't worry! As long as our Heavenly Court keeps working hard, we'll definitely have a chance to reach the Ghost Lord's lair! When that time comes, we'll clean out his entire home!" Mi Qingfeng laughed heartily.

Everyone nodded, clearly pleased by Mi Qingfeng's words.

The matter of Mi Qingfeng being an inside agent was easily glossed over.

In truth, the Heavenly Emperor had only been speculating and had not truly suspected Mi Qingfeng, because Mi Qingfeng would have been completely unable to bring Xiao Fan into the Lingxiao Palace.

How Xiao Fan had entered the Lingxiao Palace—that was the real key…

Unfortunately, even for the Heavenly Emperor, he had absolutely no leads.

Even the sleeping artifact spirit of the Lingxiao Palace was clueless about the situation.

…

"I never imagined it! The foundation of the Heavenly Court is truly astonishing!" An Muyin exclaimed, never having expected that Xiao Fan would actually succeed.

"Hehehe… Well, of course! Otherwise, why would it be worth me taking such a risk?!" Xiao Fan grinned.
