My Master Knows It All-Chapter 1346 - 325_5

"I haven’t even lived a thousand years yet. I don’t plan on dying with you old fools. Well then, all these resources are now mine. Let’s just call it my hard-earned pay for being the temporary Sect Hierarch for the past fifty-plus years!"

"You... you still think you can take the resources with you?" Elder Li, sensing his own weakening state, spoke with difficulty, "Even if you kill me and take these resources, you won’t be able to leave Heaven Prayers Sect. The people outside won’t let you go."

"Won’t let me leave? I’m the Sect Hierarch—who’s going to stop me? By the time they realize it, I’ll already be long gone." The Swallowing Heaven Demon sneered, his eyes and aura surging with murderous intent.

"Still thinking of detonating your Golden Core? Keep it to die with honor for your sect." With one palm, the Swallowing Heaven Demon smashed Elder Li’s head into pieces. This was their Heaven Prayers Sect’s treasury, and its soundproofing was so thorough that no matter how loud the commotion inside, no one outside would hear a thing.

The Swallowing Heaven Demon didn’t hesitate any longer. He immediately took out a Qiankun Bag and began looting the resources here. Rather than taking the resources at the entrance, he delved deeper into the treasury to plunder the inner vault.

In any case, the Heaven Prayers Sect was destined for annihilation. Once it was destroyed, these resources would inevitably be divided up by members of other Great Teachings. If that were the case, he might as well take them for himself instead of letting others benefit from them.

Although the Qiankun Bag wasn’t infinitely large, it wasn’t as if he could only take one Qiankun Bag with him.

True, this was the smallest treasury of Heaven Prayers Sect and held only the lowest-grade resources, but Heaven Prayers Sect was still a Great Teaching. Even among minor treasuries like this, there was no way it lacked valuable resources.

Even after using mana to remotely draw items into the Qiankun Bag, it still took him a full two hours to finish packing everything.

Once everything was settled, he stuffed Elder Li’s corpse into the Qiankun Bag as well. At the same time, he wiped away the bloodstains in the treasury. Satisfied, he took a final glance at the outer section of the treasury. The resources in the outermost area remained untouched. From the doorway, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

After thoroughly confirming that everything was in order, he walked to the door and pushed it open from the inside.

Outside the treasury, the disciples of the Heaven Prayers Sect standing guard immediately turned their heads to look inside.

The Swallowing Heaven Demon put on an anxious face and pretended to be arranging a formation as he walked out of the treasury. Before anyone could ask questions, he began shouting directly, "Elder Li, you keep organizing those resources. I’ll first go deliver these to Elder Feng and the others—they’ve been waiting impatiently. I’ll come back later for the rest of the resources."

After saying this, he didn’t give anyone a chance to speak further. He immediately took flight and sped toward the distance.

The disciples behind him let out faint sighs. Their Heaven Prayers Sect had reached such a tragic point that even the Sect Hierarch was this busy.

"The Sect Hierarch is in such a hurry. Having Elder Li manage the resources alone inside doesn’t seem to follow protocol. Junior Brother Liu, let’s go inside and take a look."

Among the guards, a round-faced disciple let out a sigh and stepped into the treasury. As he walked, he called out, "Elder Li, where are you? Junior Brother Liu and I will help you organize the resources—"

His voice echoed within the treasury, but no one replied.

"Elder Li?" He called out again, stepping further in. The next moment, his eyes widened in shock. From the outside, the treasury appeared untouched, and the outer resources remained undisturbed. However, the inner section... it was completely empty, not a single resource left!

It was no wonder his voice had echoed so loudly just now.

Beside him, Junior Brother Liu’s eyes also widened in disbelief as he stared at the desolate inner vault of the treasury.

"The resources? Where are the resources from our treasury? And where is Elder Li?"

"Something’s wrong—it’s the Sect Hierarch! The Sect Hierarch has defected from the sect!"

After leaving the treasury, the Swallowing Heaven Demon flew as fast as he could toward the distant horizon. He knew that once he left, the disciples guarding the treasury would enter and discover the problem. He also knew they would quickly realize he had defected from the sect.

He was aware he didn’t have much time, but it didn’t matter. It was enough. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Having spent so many years in Heaven Prayers Sect, he was intimately familiar with everything about it.

After gaining enough distance, he swiftly descended from the sky and entered a dense forest. There, he reached down and tore off his outer robe. At the same time, a human skin mask appeared in his hands, which he quickly placed on his face.

In the world of Immortal Cultivation, hardly anyone used human skin masks. They were more commonly found in mortal realms. In the Immortal Cultivation world, even if you altered your appearance with a mask, those who had reached the Earth Immortal Realm could easily see through such disguises with a single glance.

Though no Earth Immortal Realm cultivators were present during this Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, wearing a human skin mask wouldn’t alter one’s aura. Familiar individuals would still be able to recognize him.

The reason he used the mask, however, was because he possessed another magical artifact that could change his aura.

After altering his aura and wearing the human skin mask, the Swallowing Heaven Demon refrained from releasing the cultivation base of his Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection. Instead, he concealed it, revealing only eight abnormal phenomenon Golden Cores, and sped toward the sect’s outer boundary.

Among the disciples of Heaven Prayers Sect, those who had reached Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection weren’t uncommon, but they were all well-known individuals. The sudden appearance of an unfamiliar Ten Different Phenomena cultivator would immediately raise suspicion.

Even those with Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Cores would attract attention.

However, cultivators with Eight Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Cores were far more numerous and much less remarked upon.
