Chapter 2268: Chapter 2288: No One Wants to be Robbed by Thieves Every Day_1

Bai Yunfei took out three Spatial Rings, his expression carrying a hint of pride, "Although they had set up prohibitions on these Spatial Rings, such things can hardly stump the disciples of the Shenkong Sect. I’ve already broken their seals; now, they have nothing to do with their original masters."

Lin Chen couldn’t suppress his curiosity and asked, "The one in charge of these Spatial Rings and safeguarding all the gains must be individuals of high status and great strength within the Three Sects. Brother Bai, although you’re a peak Daluo Mysterious Immortal, you are still not a Daluo Ultimate Immortal. How did you manage this silent and traceless feat?"

Bai Yunfei laughed, "The divine powers of the Shenkong Sect can break through spatial restrictions, silently steal or replace items, all without anyone being the wiser. Of course, if the target is very powerful, then we would need to use words or actions to disturb their perception, divert their attention, and cause emotional tremors. Initiating actions under such circumstances greatly increases the success rate."

"Theft, whether it’s mortals or immortals involved, the principle is the same. Mortal thieves have methods to shield against mortal perception, and immortals have ways to shield against immortal perception. The peerless teachings of the Shenkong Sect, once mastered, can allow for stealing across the void, even through Array Formations, making your possessions disappear without trace."

Lin Chen gave a thumbs-up, "Not even a Daluo Ultimate Immortal can defend against you. Impressive!"

Bai Yunfei chuckled, "No matter how impressive, I’m still just a thief. If you succeed, great. If you fail but escape, that’s still fine. But if you fail and get caught, then you’re in for a world of misery."

Lin Chen frowned, "If disciples of the Shenkong Sect are caught, would they be killed by the other party?"

Bai Yunfei shook his head, "Not likely, but they’ll definitely suffer a great deal."

Lin Chen was very surprised, "Despite such risks, why don’t those people just kill you?"

Bai Yunfei’s eyes brimmed with undisguised arrogance, "If they were sure they could kill someone silently, making them disappear completely from the human world, they would definitely wish to kill us. But if we’ve already managed to send out the message that we’ve been caught, then they’ll have to be cautious — after all, no one wants a daily burglary at their home."

Lin Chen’s expression became quite peculiar. Could thievery also be used as a threat?

Bai Yunfei explained with a cheery laugh, "If we are caught, we must make sure to spread the word about who we stole from and who caught us before that happens. If the capturing faction is powerful and does not fear the Shenkong Sect, then it’s highly likely that we’re as good as dead."

"However, if their strength isn’t that overwhelming and they have some fear of the Shenkong Sect, then that’s our opportunity to live. Usually, under such circumstances, we’ll endure a lot of physical pain, but we won’t die. In the end, we’ll pay a hefty ransom, several times more valuable than the stolen item, to secure our release. Moreover, we must take a Heavenly Dao Oath to never approach the faction again or seek revenge, thus settling the matter."

Lin Chen realized that for those who were robbed, if a disciple of the Shenkong Sect failed and got caught by them, they actually wouldn’t incur any losses. Instead of making a mortal enemy by killing the thief and having bad blood with the Shenkong Sect, it made more sense to vent their anger and then extort a heavy fine to settle the grudge completely.

As for those who were successfully robbed, the disciples of the Shenkong Sect would flee far away and become untraceable, making finding them quite difficult. Moreover, spreading such incidents would embarrass their own sect, so most would likely pursue the matter discreetly or let it slide altogether.

The Shenkong Sect was indeed a remarkable sect. To reach such a realm in thievery was truly astonishing.

Bai Yunfei handed the three Spatial Rings to Lin Chen, "The duration of this adventure was sufficiently long, and the gains are indeed impressive. Especially noteworthy are the twelve Void Lotus Herbs. These are extremely useful for both of us. We’ll split those evenly, and for the rest, see if you have any needs. If not, we can just roughly divide the remainder."

Twelve!

That was no small number.

On second thought, despite having the "cheat" Chi Zai, which allowed him to quickly locate Void Lotus Herbs, he was still only one person. His search speed couldn’t compare to the combined efforts of thousands of adventurers from the three sects.

Lin Chen hesitated for a moment, then candidly responded, "Since we parted ways from the place where Chi Zai was suppressed, I’ve been searching for Void Lotus Herbs with Chi Zai for half a year. I’ve already found quite a few, so you can keep these. I won’t take any."

Bai Yunfei shook his head, neatly divided out six Void Lotus Herbs, and tossed six boxes directly to Lin Chen.

"One thing at a time. What you found is your own effort, so naturally, it’s all yours. My gains have your contribution; therefore, we should share. We divide as is appropriate."

"If it weren’t for you informing me, not to mention six herbs, I wouldn’t be able to find even one. I’m currently stuck in the bottleneck stage, and these Void Lotus Herbs are enough to help me make the breakthrough, advancing to Daluo Ultimate Immortal. You’ve indeed done me a great favor..."
