Whispers began to rise as everyone started to inquire about the situation. They soon discovered a shocking piece of news: a Heavenly Dragon Jade was stolen from the Treasure Pavilion.

The Heavenly Dragon Jade is a true treasure, rumored to have been born from the remnants of a Heavenly Dragon, formed over millions of years. It not only enhances a martial artist's cultivation but also accelerates their understanding of the world's laws, strengthens their soul, and boosts their innate abilities. It is the ultimate treasure.

One could say that a piece of Heavenly Dragon Jade could give a Martial Emperor a more than 90% chance of breaking through to the realm of the Nineth Level Martial God. Such an invaluable treasure!

It is a strategic-level treasure, typically stored in the Treasure Pavilion, and is not usually used. Due to its special nature, such a treasure is only used in special circumstances after discussions among the high-level members of the Wan Bao Lou. Using just one piece means one less piece in existence. Today, however, a piece of Heavenly Dragon Jade was stolen from the Treasure Pavilion. This is a major event!

Wang Qiming frowned. The loss of the Heavenly Dragon Jade was indeed a big deal, but what did it have to do with him? The four of them had selected their treasures but had never touched the Heavenly Dragon Jade. Furthermore, the jade was located in the core area of the Treasure Pavilion, which they couldn’t have accessed while selecting treasures.

“Step aside.” He spoke coldly, his face showing some displeasure. The other party had disturbed him for quite some time already. He practiced over eight hours a day and had planned to meet Qin Ying and the others today, already wasting quite a bit of time. If he wasted any more, he wouldn’t be able to complete today’s tasks.

He was such a fanatic; his mind was filled only with training, training, and more training.

“Hehe, just hand over your storage rings for us to check. If there’s no Heavenly Dragon Jade, we will naturally let you go. Please, don’t make things difficult for us.” But the Tian Nan Martial Emperor was relentless, his gaze sharp.

“Impossible!”

Wang Qiming shook his head.

How could that be possible? A martial artist's storage ring is extremely private, with each person having their secrets. How could they casually let someone inspect their storage rings?

“We didn’t take the Heavenly Dragon Jade. Please step aside.” Qin Ying also said coldly, clearly displeased, as having their storage rings checked was simply impossible.

“Hmph, fine, if you won’t let us check your storage rings, then at least let me inspect the treasures you selected earlier. That’s not too much to ask, is it?” Tian Nan Martial Emperor said coldly. Qin Ying showed a hint of displeasure. She hadn’t taken the Heavenly Dragon Jade, but the other party’s posture made it clear they wouldn’t relent without inspecting. Besides, more people were gathering around, and if the news spread, it wouldn’t be good for the four of them.

In the end, Qin Ying agreed, as it was just inspecting the four selected treasures. When they handed them over, Tian Nan Martial Emperor’s mouth curled into a cold smile, making Wang Qiming and the others feel something was amiss.

If they truly had taken the Heavenly Dragon Jade, merely inspecting the chosen treasures without checking the storage rings would mean nothing. Yet, the other side had started aggressively, so why the sudden agreement?

As the thought emerged, Tian Nan Martial Emperor opened the treasure Qin Ying had selected: a Sky Compass capable of determining the world’s coordinates and mapping mountain rivers. Inside this Sky Compass was a mechanism for embedding true stones to drive energy. Qin Ying had checked it earlier, and it was empty.

But now, after Tian Nan Martial Emperor opened it, a radiant piece of dragon jade appeared inside, emanating a startling aura.

"Heavenly Dragon Jade!"

The crowd erupted in excitement.
