Chapter 3507: Origin-Tracking Treasure

Since they were able to chase after us, it shows they must have discovered that Ze Mao entered. If Ye Liuyun said he didn't know, that would be too fake. So he simply opened the Marquis Residence, letting these people also join the search.

Anyway Ze Mao has already entered his Space World; they cannot find a person no matter what. Inside the Royal Mansion there are many Formations that block Divine Sense detection, and outside the mansion they could not see that the thief cat had entered his Space World.

He, together with the Administrator and Elder of the Chéngyuán Shānghuì, searched the Marquis Residence for a long time but still found no clue.

"Could it be some kind of illusion? Or perhaps that beast has some treasure that lured you here and then left immediately?" Ye Liuyun even deliberately asked the Administrator.

The Administrator and Elder, upon seeing Ye Liuyun, were very cooperative and did not suspect him. As a Marquis, allowing them to search freely inside the Marquis Residence is already quite rare.

Thus they accepted Ye Liuyun's suggestion, said they would go back and figure out how to investigate, and left for the time being.

After they left, Ye Liuyun returned to the Space World to find Ze Mao and confirm what had happened.

"What on earth happened? How did they manage to chase after us?"

By now Ze Mao had almost fully recovered; the injuries he sustained were not too severe.

"Alas, don't mention it. Inside their Treasure Vault, there was a black snake guarding. As soon as I entered, it spotted me. M..

It tried to bite me, but I confused it with a Red Pupil Illusion Technique, then eliminated it with a Wind and Thunder Fan. After I had collected the resources inside the Treasure Vault, their strongmen rushed over.

I seized the chaos to sneak into their Storage Ring. But unexpectedly, inside the Administrator's Storage Ring there was also a black snake.

I didn't dare stay long inside; I used the Red Pupil Illusion Technique on it briefly, took a few items, and fled. Unfortunately I ran a bit slowly, and that old fellow locked onto me, blasting me out of the void.

It forced me to borrow the Space World's power again just to escape back. It scared me to death; I almost couldn't return!"

After hearing this, Ye Liuyun also scolded Ze Mao: "Why were you pushing so hard? You were already discovered, yet you didn't flee immediately and kept taking more things! Didn't I tell you not to be so greedy?"

"There's no way. The high-end resources you were eyeing—the Jade Divine Bone and Condensed Dew Divine Core—aren't in the Treasure Vault; they're inside that Administrator's Storage Ring. I'm just trying to get you some good stuff!"

Ze Mao said that, and he rattled out everything he had stolen, especially the Jade Divine Bones and Condensed Dew Divine Cores that Ye Liuyun needed. There were two Jade Divine Bones, and twelve drops of Condensed Dew Divine Core.

Other high-end resources such as Mixed Primordial Gold were also plentiful, so the Monster Beasts now have no shortage of cultivation resources.

Ye Liuyun was quite moved after seeing that. Yet he reminded Ze Mao: "If you can't steal the resources this time, there will be other chances and other ways. But if you lose your life, resources are useless. In the future, don't take such risks, or I won't feel comfortable letting you go out again!"

"Alright, I understand! After the Administrator chased after us, nothing happened, right?" Ze Mao replied with a nod and immediately changed the subject.

These Monster Beasts are also fiercely loyal to Ye Liuyun; they not only hope to help him, but also fear that he might worry about them and cause him trouble.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun, to boost his strength, gave him over a hundred Primordial Powers; if he can't retrieve some good items, he would feel he's repaying Ye Liuyun.

"It's fine for now! But I think a trade association this large surely has investigative means. Still, don't worry; we've already gained a lot here. If we get exposed, we'll just leave."

Ye Liuyun also felt they had searched enough here and could move to another place.

At Chéngyuán Shānghuì, after the Administrator returned, he immediately assigned people to find a ferocious beast capable of tracking scents, borrowed a Mastiff from a beast‑tamer, located the bloodstain Ze Mao sprayed when injured, and let the Mastiff track it.

The Mastiff's tracking led to the Heaven Domain Marquis Residence. Moreover, after circling the residence once, they found no trace of the thief

cat's scent.

The Administrator didn't think much further, assuming the Mastiff needed to follow the clue. He never imagined that the Heaven Domain Marquis would act against their trade association. So he immediately ordered a report, stating they had brought a Mastiff to trace Ze Mao's trail.

"Another tracking Mastiff!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun frowned, promptly returned to the Space World, burned his own scent with flames to avoid being tainted by Ze Mao's scent, and then went out to receive the trade association's Administrator.

When the Administrator arrived, he was very courteous, repeatedly thanking Ye Liuyun, and then let the Mastiff begin searching for Ze Mao's whereabouts.

As a result, after the Mastiff reached this Grand Hall, it lost the trail.

"I'm not usually in this Grand Hall, and no one comes in. When the incident occurred, it was my residence's guards who detected the space fluctuation, and I sent people to investigate! So, does that beast disappear here?" Ye Liuyun pretended to ask the Administrator.

"That's truly odd! Could that beast actually possess some special treasure?"

The Administrator still didn't doubt Ye Liuyun. However, he suspected someone inside the Royal Mansion was linked to Ze Mao. Yet he couldn't propose searching each master in the Marquis Residence, and the Heaven Domain Marquis would never agree.

So after thinking it over, he had to use Transmission Voice with Ye Liuyun: "Lord Marquis, at our headquarters there is a treasure, a mirror that can trace events that occurred at a location within the past few days.

I'd like to borrow that treasure; later I hope you, Lord Marquis, can grant us a favor, allowing us to retrace the scene here.

We at Chéngyuán Shānghuì are immensely grateful for your strong cooperation and support, Lord Marquis. Whether we can ultimately recover the resources or not, we will still express our thanks to you!"

"Oh? Such a treasure?" Ye Liuyun heard this and was startled. He guessed it must be a relic that can reverse time or something similar.

But he readily agreed: "Fine then, I'm also just about to see it with the Elder; you can go ahead and use it!"

He had no choice but to agree; otherwise it would raise suspicion from the trade association. Even if he refused, the headquarters would apply layer upon layer of pressure to make him cooperate.

"Then thank you, Lord Marquis. However, please keep the guards inside the residence from leaving for now. Of course this isn't a suspicion of your guards; it's just to eliminate any doubt!" the Administrator requested of Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun smiled at him, understanding that he was suspecting someone inside the Royal Mansion was in league with the thief cat. Yet he nodded in agreement.

What he was now thinking more about was that if the trade association truly possessed such a treasure, they would inevitably uncover him then.
