Di Family.

Emperor’s Treasure Abyss.

Ahead of the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss, a sea of people had gathered.

Almost all the Imperial Family Members came.

"Pat... Patriarch, there’s the presence of an outsider inside." At the edge of the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss, Great Elder Di Hong trembled as he spoke to Di Jie beside him.

Within Emperor’s Treasure Abyss, there was always only the presence of the Di Family Members, and only a rare few Imperial Family Members are qualified to enter.

Now, there’s an outsider’s presence, what does this imply?

It implies that an outsider has entered.

An outsider entering Emperor’s Treasure Abyss, the consequences... unimaginable consequences.

This is also the first time in a billion years that the Di Family has encountered outsiders entering the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss.

Di Heng’s face was as tough as stone, after all, he had always cultivated in the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss, considered its guardian, its most important guardian. If Emperor’s Treasure Abyss was stolen, he is to be held accountable, although he left Emperor’s Treasure Abyss due to the patriarch’s summon, but he can’t solely blame the patriarch!

The patriarch is the patriarch after all.

The patriarch might err, yet it is considered as no mistake.

With a glance at Great Elder Di Hong, Di Jie’s eyes were filled with rage and malice: "I can smell it, let’s go in."

"Let’s hope it’s only the First Level!" Great Elder Di Hong muttered to himself. It was not just him; other elders, grand elders, and some high-ranking family members, who were permitted by the patriarch to accompany him into the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss, all prayed.

Emperor’s Treasure Abyss has Nine Layers, it’s well known.

The deeper you go, the fewer treasures there are, yet the more precious they become.

Now that an outsider has entered Emperor’s Treasure Abyss, it is almost certain that it has been stolen. There’s no wishful thinking of no theft in the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss, that is not possible. Now, everyone hopes that the least amount of loss occurs, if only the First Level was stolen, the pain would be there, but at least the family’s foundation wouldn’t be hit.

The treasures of the First Level, with some effort, could possibly be fully replenished within a million years by the Di Family Members.

The true treasures of the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss are definitely not in the First Level.

"It should just be the First Level that was stolen!" Di Jie muttered to himself as well.

Currently, whether it is Di Jie or Great Elder, Second Elder, or Grand Elders, they all hope that the thief just took from the First Level, anything more, like the Second Level or Third Level? Fourth Level? They hardly thought along these lines.

Why?

Firstly, from the summon of Di Yang and others, only two incense times have passed. Such a short time, the outsider needs to break through layers of Guardian Formations, unlock the Mysterious Divine Lock, it’s too urgent, in this short time, at most they could steal from one or two levels.

Secondly, the nine layers of Emperor’s Treasure Abyss’ Mysterious Divine Lock get increasingly complex as they descend, reaching the latter five six seven eight nine layers, complex beyond imagination.

Of course, the exact situation needs to be checked below to know.

Right now, everything is conjecture.

A party, about twenty to thirty members, all high-ranking in the Di Family, only two from the younger generation, Di Heng and Emperor Wu, twenty to thirty people following silently, cautiously behind Di Jie.

Soon.

They reached the First Level entrance.

Di Jie took out a key.

Whoosh!

Opened!

The First Level door was opened.

"Damn..." As the door swung open, it was vacant, not a treasure left, not even the shelves remained. Di Jie’s gaze became three degrees harsher, although the treasures of the First Level wouldn’t hurt Di Family’s foundation, they were quite valuable! And numerous!

Hundreds of them.

All gone.

How can one not ache?

Those hundreds of treasures, if taken out, could quickly cultivate at least five Imperial Family Martial Cultivators of the caliber of Di Yang, Emperor Wu, or five Elder Rank experts!

Gone just like that.

Yet, Di Jie was mentally prepared for the First Level theft, so his emotional fluctuation wasn’t too severe.

"Damn thief!" Behind Di Jie, those elders and grand elders all had shifts in expression, unable to resist cursing, and their hearts were pained. These people, although high-ranking, the Martial Cultivation Resources they received weren’t substantial. The resources they’ve used throughout their lives, combined, might not be more than the treasures missing from the First Level.

"Continue," Di Jie sped up heading towards the Second Level.

Behind, those twenty to thirty high-ranking family members hurriedly followed.

Whoosh...

Under a pair of anxious and urgent eyes.

The Second Level was opened.

Once opened, Di Jie’s eyes sharply contracted!!!

"Damn!" Di Jie directly cursed.

Those family elders and grand elders also held their breath, eyes widened.

The second... Second Level was stolen too?!

How could this be?

Within such short time, while the Mysterious Divine Lock remained intact, how did it go unnoticed that both first and second levels got stolen?!

"Damn thief!" Di Jie wanted to tear the thief to pieces, also desiring the annihilation of Su Chen. Now everyone understood Su Chen’s challenge was merely a facade, a tactic to lure them away.

Su Chen aimed for the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss.

Su Chen is one of the masterminds.

Di Jie now struggles to find words to express his resentment and hatred towards Su Chen.

Ruined the Di Family’s plans on the Divine Martial Continent, killed several young generation super geniuses of the Di Family, and slapped the faces of many high-ranking Di Family members including himself, mastermind in the theft of the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss...

When has the Di Family suffered such great loss from anyone?

Su Chen is the first.

Di Jie’s teeth were grinding.

The killing intent was almost solidifying.

However, right now, those aren’t important. What’s important is to continue assessing the loss from Emperor’s Treasure Abyss.

Third Level.

Soon, Di Jie stood before the Third Level door. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Behind him, those family elders and grand elders were so tense it was beyond description, each holding their breath, fixated on the Mysterious Divine Lock. Waiting.

Creek!

The door opened.

The Third Level opened.

"What?" Di Jie felt his blood reversing, his eyes nearly bursting.

Inside the Third Level, it was empty as well.

Not to mention treasures, even the shelves to hold the treasures were gone.

"How could this be?"

"Impossible!"

"This..."

"Damn thief!!!"

"Su Chen, Undying Determination!"

"Little wretch, driving me mad!"

...

The high-ranking Di Family members behind Di Jie were each almost vomiting blood, faces white.

The first three levels, all stolen.

This loss.

Too big.

It’s simply the greatest loss the Di Family has encountered in its history.

The treasures of the first three levels combined account for almost a tenth of the family’s foundation.

The treasures across the first three levels combined could produce several more Di Heng.

Gone just like that.

Completely vacant!

The pain is felt within the soul.

"Su Chen!!!" Di Heng articulated word by word, his eyes almost blood red, tightly clenching his fists, his heart convulsing.

"Pa... Patriarch, should we check the Fourth Level?" One grand elder, named Di You, stepped forward to ask.
