Chapter 2206: Chapter 2226: Divine Thief?_1

Stolen?

Lin Chen and Ziyun Zunzhe both widened their eyes, looking incredulously at Bai Yunfei.

Are you that amazing?

Sneaking into a sect, infiltrating their wine storage, and stealing their most precious wine?

Aren’t you afraid of being caught and beaten to death?

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Bai Yunfei laughed and said, "Looking at you, it seems you don’t know about the Shenkong Sect?"

Lin Chen and Ziyun Zunzhe looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Please, enlighten us."

Bai Yunfei chuckled, "The Shenkong Sect, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, with deft empty hands. To put it nicely, it’s called the Thieves’ Sect; to put it bluntly, it’s just thieves."

"Divine Thieves?"

Lin Chen widened his eyes, suddenly realized, "Though I don’t know much about Shenkong Sect, I imagine it must be quite impressive in the Immortal Realm. That Da Luo Venerable of the Haoyang Sect was quite arrogant originally, but after hearing your background, he was so scared that he didn’t dare say a word..."

Bai Yunfei laughed heartily, "Actually, he’s not so much afraid of my strength. After all, there are many in the Haoyang Sect who are stronger than me, but he is afraid of me dropping by the Haoyang Sect for a visit. If I really did go there, I wouldn’t step out of their gate until I’ve stolen everything clean, right down to their underwear!"

Ziyun Zunzhe asked curiously, "Are your thieving techniques all that formidable? Aren’t you afraid of encountering opponents stronger than yourselves?"

Bai Yunfei explained, "The Shenkong Sect elevates thievery to the core of its creed. All disciples are rigorously trained in various empty hand techniques, including mastery of Array Formations, Disguise, infiltration, theft, assassination, and so forth. We may not have the strength of sect powerhouses, but they might not be able to spot us, so they are scared of us stealing from them, as I could be anyone at their side."

"Because he’s afraid of provoking me and then having me sneak into the Haoyang Sect and steal all their treasures... Brother Lin, you wouldn’t look down upon me for being a thief, would you?"

Lin Chen shook his head, smiling, "How could I? This is a skill I wish I could learn but can’t."

Bai Yunfei grinned, "It’s a pity you already belong to a sect; otherwise, I could introduce you to join the Shenkong Sect. Although we may not have many disciples and no fixed location for our sect, who in the whole of Eastern Brilliance, or even the entire Immortal Domain, doesn’t treat us with respect?"

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "No fixed location for your sect?"

Bai Yunfei laughed, lifting the fine wine that Lin Chen had poured for him and took a small sip, his eyes shining, "Yes, the Shenkong Sect has stolen from countless people and made many enemies. If our sect’s location were known, wouldn’t we be surrounded and relentlessly attacked until we were wiped out?"

After a pause, Bai Yunfei complimented, "This wine is quite something, very nourishing. I can taste at least eight kinds of precious Immortal Medicines in it. Drinking too much of this stuff will probably make your head spin, but it’s good for the body... Try this one I brought."

Lin Chen picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and his eyes lit up, "Although it’s strong liquor, it feels cool and icy on the lips, like an icy thread going down the throat, and once inside, the medicinal power quickly enters the body, warming it through and through, just like the comfortable expansion of pores when soaking in hot springs."

Bai Yunfei chuckled, "That’s the unique charm of their specially-made Xuanbing Ice Cellar. If I weren’t afraid of stealing too harshly and provoking them to pursue me with a vengeance across the world, I would have gladly emptied out the entire cellar!"

Lin Chen couldn’t help laughing, "You’ve already stolen from others, does it really matter how much you take?"

With a playful smile on his face, Bai Yunfei said, "There is honor among thieves. Although we often steal, our Master taught us to always leave a line, to ensure a future meeting. So, unless there’s a deep grudge, we won’t strip a place bare like locusts. This way, even if we have offended many sects, they tend to let bygones be bygones seeing how we kept things moderate."

Lin Chen couldn’t help but chuckle, "That makes sense. Like if a sect brewed a hundred barrels, and you stole just three or five, the sect might still try to catch you, but they wouldn’t send out all their experts, chasing after you like mad dogs."

Bai Yunfei nodded, "That’s more or less the idea... You probably won’t visit Meditation Valley again, so where to next?"

A thought crossed Lin Chen’s mind; Bai Yunfei, with his formidable strength and thievery expertise, could greatly increase the success rate of stealing the Yin-Yang Spring.

Lin Chen replied, "Qingyuan City."

Bai Yunfei asked casually, "Qingyuan City, that’s a bit far. What are you headed there for?"

Lin Chen answered, "A Secret Realm has been discovered in Qingyuan City, and it’s currently being explored. There’s something inside that I need, so I’m preparing to try my luck."

Curiously, Bai Yunfei asked, "If it’s not too much trouble, could you tell me what it is?"

"Yin-Yang Spring."

Since Bai Yunfei had helped him, Lin Chen did not mind sharing this information, thinking they might even cooperate.

Sure enough, Bai Yunfei’s eyes brightened up at the mention, "The holy water for healing... Yin-Yang Spring?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, that’s right. Interested, Brother Bai?"
