Chapter 72: Three Major Shops Looted Clean
"You… you, you, you! You actually dare to kill someone in a Ye family shop!"
"Do you know what the consequences are? You'll die too, you lunatic!"
Ye Du pointed at Su Lang in horror, his whole body trembling as if he were having a seizure.
However, the White-Robed Cloaked Figure acted as if he had done something insignificant, calmly sheathing his long saber and picking up the Purple Spirit Sword.
"You… you…"
Ye Du opened his mouth; he desperately wanted to tell the White-Robed Cloaked Figure to put down the Purple Spirit Sword!
But at this moment, the guards in the shop were all dead. How could he, alone, dare to step forward and stop him?
Just then, Ye Du noticed that the White-Robed Cloaked Figure was actually walking toward him!
"What do you want to do!?"
Ye Du's pupils shrank abruptly, and a thick sense of terror rose uncontrollably in his heart.
"Hand over the money, and I'll spare your life."
The White-Robed Cloaked Figure's words were concise and filled with Killing Intent.
"Fine… fine!"
Looking at the four terrifying corpses, Ye Du had no courage to resist and nodded tremblingly.
Immediately, Ye Du and several Artifact Refiners fearfully handed over all the wealth in the shop to the White-Robed Cloaked Figure.
They even took out the Materials that were currently being smelted from the furnace!
With a wave of the White-Robed Cloaked Figure's hand, the gold coins, weapons, and Materials all vanished into thin air.
This scene caused the minds of Ye Du and the others to go blank with shock once again.
After scouring the entire shop clean, the White-Robed Cloaked Figure left the shop directly and quickly disappeared into the street.
"Damn that Su Lang! If it weren't for him, how could the shop's guards have been reassigned? How could I have ended up in this state?"
Ye Du looked at the miserably dead Ye family guards and the empty shop, practically on the verge of tears.
But if he knew that this White-Robed Cloaked Figure was Su Lang's Clone, who knows what he would think?
At that moment, a series of chaotic footsteps came from outside.
"Who dares to kill within the city?"
"Surrender your weapons immediately and kneel!"
"…"
A group of Alliance Law Enforcers dressed in gold-trimmed black martial attire rushed into the shop.
"He's gone! He already ran away!"
Ye Du pointed at the street and wailed, "Why did you only just arrive?"
…The news of the Ye Family Weapon Shop being robbed caused a sensation throughout the Red Maple City stronghold.
Moreover, the same thing happened more than once—it happened three times!
The Ye Family Weapon Shop, the Ye Family Medicinal Pill Shop, and the Ye Family Merchant House Headquarters were all looted clean by a White-Robed Cloaked Figure!
And the Alliance Law Enforcers hadn't caught a single one!
Currently, the White-Robed Cloaked Figure had become the hot topic of discussion throughout the city!
…Inside the Ye Family Manor.
"Patriarch, that's exactly what he said!"
A Martial Artist knelt on the ground, speaking with extreme nervousness.
This person was the messenger Martial Artist who had rushed back from the Golden Flame Leopard Stronghold.
"What? He told me to enjoy my last few good days?"
Ye Feizhang sat at the head of the hall, his face full of sneers. "With just his status as a mere Martial Artist, he dares to brag so grandiosely?"
The messenger Martial Artist prostrated himself in terror, not daring to answer.
"Fine, get out."
Ye Feizhang gave a cold laugh and waved his hand.
Just then, a sudden burst of hurried footsteps came from outside.
Immediately after, an Advanced Martial Artist rushed into the hall: "Patriarch! Something's wrong!"
"Ye Lin? What is it?"
Ye Feizhang's brow furrowed. This Ye Lin was usually steady; why was he so flustered today?
Ye Lin fell to his knees with a thud: "Patriarch, our weapon shop, Medicinal Pill shop, and merchant house headquarters in the city have all been looted clean!"
"What!?"
Ye Feizhang stood up abruptly, his face filled with shock and disbelief.
The messenger Martial Artist kneeling on the floor was even more stunned, his face blank with horror!
"Ye Lin, do you know what you're saying?"
Ye Feizhang walked down into the hall, his face full of alarm and anger. "Those three important shops are all inside the city. How could they be looted!?"
Although he knew Ye Lin would never lie, he still couldn't believe it!
"Patriarch, they really were looted!"
Ye Lin pressed his head against the floor and said tremblingly, "And they were looted simultaneously. The ones who did it were three mysterious Intermediate Martial Artists wearing white-robed cloaks!"
"Our three shops lost a total of fifteen Martial Artists, over five hundred thousand gold coins in cash, and countless supplies!"
