Chapter 1790 - 1795: The Conspiracy Revealed
Although in his heart he did not have high hopes for this City Lord, Lin Fei knew that no matter how much she thought, it wouldn’t change the final outcome. Since that was the case, Lin Fei could only stop thinking about it. On the contrary, he needed to use his capabilities to help those who needed help.
So the group arrived next to the Vault. However, it seemed very difficult to get in. But they didn’t need to go in at all. The group came directly to a dark place, suddenly stopped, and a team of people just disappeared like that?
"Did you notice anything?"
Little did they know, at this moment above the Vault, someone was already monitoring everything.
"Yes, they’ve come, these thieves!"
"They’ve come, indeed. These guys really think the Vault is their own home. If we don’t teach them a lesson, they’ll never understand their own status!" A voice was very frigid, seemingly filled with hatred.
"Second Young Master, after we capture them, what should we do?" Another voice sounded, obviously a subordinate of the Second Young Master.
"What to do? Heh heh, of course, punish them severely first. Besides, they are our soldiers to begin with. If I catch them, I’ll hand them over to my father to deal with these ungrateful people." The Second Young Master said with a cold sneer.
"That’s excellent, the Second Young Master is indeed remarkably smart!" That voice flattered.
"Alright, continue the surveillance, and have the exits sealed so they can’t escape!" The Second Young Master’s voice was filled with coldness.
"Yes, we understand!" Another voice responded.
And Lin Fei and his group were unaware that everything had already been set up as a trap, waiting for them to walk right in. So the group entered a secret passage, and from there, they got into the Vault.
But when everyone was rejoicing, suddenly a loud noise came from behind, and part of the secret passage collapsed?
"Not good! Someone ambushed us!" Shang Ma Dao immediately became flustered, and at this moment, another place, namely the entrance of the secret passage, was also blocked. It seemed they planned to trap them like blocking the doorway to catch a turtle in a jar!
Lin Fei hadn’t expected such a thing to happen. He didn’t know if it was bad luck or due to some other reason. But given the situation, there was nothing more to say. Lin Fei directly pushed aside the Cultivator standing in his way and arrived at the blocked entrance. It turned out to be a piece of gold?
Lin Fei was speechless. Such a big piece of gold blocked the hole, indeed a Vault! Using resources to such an extent, how adept they were at utilizing all sorts of means.
But for Lin Fei, this was no problem.
Just as Lin Fei was about to make a move, a powerful aura suddenly emerged from behind, at least at the Nascent Soul Realm. Lin Fei guessed it should be at the mid-Nascent Soul level.
He didn’t expect Shang Ma Dao to be a mid-Nascent Soul level expert, truly formidable!
"Lin Fei, get out of my way!"
Shang Ma Dao roared and directly headed toward the entrance, smashing through. He couldn’t let his brothers die here; otherwise, there would be no hope outside! So he directly exerted his strongest power, and the gold blocking the entrance was sent flying, hitting something with a bang.
Lin Fei and they got out, they really got out, and the whole group immediately exited the secret passage. Lin Fei then realized that all around were wire nets, filled with gold. Yes, it was gold, forming into a giant pillar, thanks to those nets.
Lin Fei looked around and confirmed how high that warehouse was, that’s how high the gold was. Truly powerful, but it also symbolized corruption. So much gold, not used to relieve the people, but to exploit them. Such people, Lin Fei didn’t know how to describe them.
Soon, a large group of guards surged in from outside, and upon seeing Lin Fei and his group, they immediately charged at them.
At this moment, Lin Fei also began to resist. He could indeed fend off quite a few Cultivators by himself, but there were too many soldiers. Even if Lin Fei and the others exerted all their strength, it would be difficult to resist.
Despite this, Lin Fei and his group could only grit their teeth and hold on.
Moreover, on Lin Fei’s side, there was Shang Ma Dao, which reassured Lin Fei quite a bit. Shang Ma Dao’s strength was undoubtedly strong; as a Nascent Soul Realm expert, with one palm, he took down a whole row.
And among them, there were many supporting Shang Ma Dao, so some people weren’t hit and had already fallen, which was unavoidable.
Lin Fei and the others followed Shang Ma Dao, running towards higher ground. Finally, they reached a platform, one of the few in the entire Vault, and it was just a small window.
Indeed, it was a window. Shang Ma Dao immediately ordered, one after another, to escape downwards, and he alone was holding off all the soldiers’ attacks in front. Meanwhile, Lin Fei and others began jumping downwards. Unfortunately, there were soldiers below too, but they didn’t know the situation, and they directly let them go.
Finally, only Lin Fei was left on the stone platform, and those who chased after Lin Fei. But Lin Fei didn’t climb in; he was waiting for Shang Ma Dao.
Shang Ma Dao looked at Lin Fei and shouted, "Go! Hurry up!"
The voice was filled with a sense of farewell. Lin Fei sighed at last, turned and slipped outside, and in the blink of an eye, he was outside.
But just at this moment, a figure appeared in the Vault. That person seemed to know Shang Ma Dao, and Shang Ma Dao’s steps to escape stopped because it became even more tense.
"Liu An! I didn’t expect it to be you. Does that mean the Second Young Master is here too?" Shang Ma Dao asked.
"Hahahaha, Shang Ma Dao, it really is you. We know everything about you. Although those poor people’s mouths are tough, we have to say they will still betray you. You’re finished now, aren’t you?" The man named Liu An, around the same age as Shang Ma Dao, had a funny-looking eight-character mustache, giving off an eerie feeling.
Lin Fei looked at this person, having no good impression in his heart, but so what? He was already outside, standing on the wall, watching events unfold. If Shang Ma Dao didn’t get out, it would be a loss for the entire city’s poor people because he was the one who allowed many of them to survive!
And what was most comforting at this moment was that the others had already left. This operation seemed premeditated as if it was targeting Shang Ma Dao alone, and Lin Fei thought it was very likely!
