Dust and smoke filled the sky as everyone scrambled back in a panic. No one would have thought that someone would dare to rush into it.
The moment the dust and smoke began to settle, Gou You swooped down from the air. Even among the reclusive families, that sword was considered a Top-Grade Treasure! Gou You had no intention of losing it here.
But when he landed, all he saw was a massive pit, dozens of meters wide and more than ten meters deep! Groundwater bubbled up from the bottom, turning it into a muddy, turbid mess. There was no sign of the sword anywhere.
'Someone must have used the chaos to steal it!'
Gou You roared in fury and shot out of the pit. His sharp gaze swept over the distant crowd, lingering suspiciously on the Messengers from the reclusive families and sects.
Yet all their expressions were composed, and they were relatively free of dust.
'Impossible... It's impossible that someone could have stolen my sword without getting hurt!'
