“Yama, did you steal the tables, chairs, and benches just as an afterthought, while your main goal was the heavenly treasures and divine weapons?”
Ghost King Huang Dun called out from the side.
Huang Tianbao rolled his eyes.
“What right do you have to say it was me? So many people came today; I could just as easily say it was you lot.”
“We couldn't have stolen anything. We were all busy chasing the thief who took the immortal treasure blade!”
Ghost King Bai Dun explained from the side.
“What? That ugly blade is gone?”
Huang Tianbao cried out in feigned shock.
“Wait, weren't you all admiring the blade? How does a blade go missing while you're right there admiring it?”
Hearing this, Ghost King Hei Dun and the others looked embarrassed and fell silent.
Who could have imagined someone would be so bold!
Stealing the immortal treasure blade right in front of them!
“Tell me, what use are you lot? So many people... ghosts, and you couldn't even keep an eye on a single blade. If I were you, I’d be too ashamed to live...”
Huang Tianbao pointed at the Ghost Kings, lecturing them like they were hopeless failures.
The Ghost Kings: “...”
It wasn't like they had to die over this, right?
Wait, weren't they here to catch a thief?
Why were they the ones being lectured?
And who did he think he was, lecturing them?
One would think he had already unified the Xuantian Great World.
The Ghost Kings stared at Huang Tianbao, speechless.
Don't you think you're taking this a bit too far?
Ghost King Hei Dun suppressed the rage in his heart and spoke.
“Yama, please return the stolen items, and I will let bygones be bygones...”
Huang Tianbao looked at Ghost King Hei Dun as if he were an idiot.
“I said you were a fool, and you still don't believe me?”
“Yama!!”
Ghostly flames flared violently around Hei Dun's body as he glared at Yama.
This guy was taking it too far, insulting them with every breath.
Looking at the furious Ghost King Hei Dun, Huang Tianbao said helplessly:
“Look at you, what are you getting so angry for? I'm cooperating with the search, aren't I? Can't you be more composed...”
Ghost King Hei Dun’s eyes continued to burn as he stared at Huang Tianbao, gritting his teeth.
“Aside from watching you insult people, I really haven't seen any cooperation.”
Clatter...
Suddenly, the furious Ghost King Hei Dun’s eyes widened.
Ghostly fire erupted in his eyes as he and the other Ghost Kings scrambled back out of the hall.
They watched as Huang Tianbao dumped everything from the storage bag at his waist.
Since there were so many items, they instantly covered the entire floor of the hall.
“Come on... see if any of your tables, chairs, or benches are in here,”
Huang Tianbao, who had also stepped outside, muttered as he shook the empty storage bag.
Ghost King Hei Dun and the others were shocked.
They never expected that Huang Tianbao would actually subject himself to an inspection like this.
Ghost King Hei Dun looked at the piles of spirit stones, ores, and various heavenly treasures filling the hall.
There was even a spirit boat so large it had smashed right through his roof.
None of his belongings were there.
But even if you didn't steal anything and wanted to prove your innocence, you could have just let me look inside the storage bag.
There was no need to dump it all out and break the roof!
It's going to cost money to fix that!
“Ox-Head, Horse-Face, Brother Man... dump your storage bags too. Show them...”
Clatter...
The others followed suit and emptied their storage bags.
“Take a good look! Did we steal your stuff?”
Huang Tianbao pointed at the piles and continued to question Ghost King Hei Dun.
Ghost King Hei Dun’s expression was grim. Although there were many valuable things in the piles, none of them were what he had lost.
“Yama, I'm truly sorry! I lost my things and was in a bad mood, making you suffer this grievance...”
Ghost King Hei Dun apologized to Yama.
At the same time, he was puzzled. If it wasn't Yama, then who could it be?
“Be more careful in the future. Not everyone is as magnanimous as I am,”
Huang Tianbao muttered as he prepared to pack his things.
Then he stopped and held out his storage bag again.
“Do you want to check if I emptied it completely?”
Ghost King Hei Dun waved his hands repeatedly. “No need! No need!”
Judging by this attitude, it didn't seem like he had stolen anything!
“Do any of you want a look?”
Huang Tianbao held out his storage bag to the other Ghost Kings.
“No need! No need...”
They weren't the ones who had lost anything, so there was no point in getting involved.
After packing his things, Huang Tianbao chuckled.
“Little Hei, do you think it's possible that while you were out chasing the thief, someone didn't actually go? Maybe they came back to rob you?”
After saying this, he glanced at Ghost King Huang Dun and the others.
Ghost King Huang Dun and the other Ghost Kings looked at Huang Tianbao in shock.
You can't play people like this!
Ghost King Hei Dun’s suspicious gaze shifted toward the other Ghost Kings.
Could it really have been one of them?
“Old Hei, I couldn't possibly break through your residence's array!”
Ghost King Huang Dun explained quickly.
“Right, right... we couldn't break it either!”
Ghost King Bai Dun and the others chimed in.
But Ghost King Hei Dun continued to stare at them.
“How about you let me see your storage bags too?”
Ghost King Huang Dun immediately snapped back.
“What are you thinking? We didn't steal anything. Why should we let you look?”
“Exactly!”
Ghost King Bai Dun and the others glared at Ghost King Hei Dun.
They weren't idiots like Yama, willing to display their entire net worth for all to see.
Besides, they had plenty of private items in there.
“Can't you learn from me and prove your innocence?”
Huang Tianbao fanned the flames, enjoying the chaos.
The Ghost Kings glared at Huang Tianbao.
We can't learn anything from you, you idiot!
“Old Hei, my concubine is about to give birth! I'm heading back. See you at the Kings’ War for Supremacy...”
Ghost King Huang Dun swept his sleeves and turned to leave.
“Old Hei, my wife is about to give birth! I'm leaving too...”
Ghost King Bai Dun followed immediately after.
“My dog is about to give birth...”
“My... my father is about to give birth...”
The Ghost Kings all made up excuses and fled.
As for whether the excuses were reasonable... they were just excuses, so who cared about logic?
Huang Tianbao’s eyes widened as he watched these Ghost Kings spouting their ghostly lies!
Ghost King Hei Dun clenched his fists, glaring at the departing Ghost Kings.
But there was nothing he could do. He couldn't win against all of them at once, so he could only swallow the humiliation.
“Little Hei, nothing in my house is giving birth. Since they're all gone, I'll be going too.”
The Ghost Kings who had just left stumbled in the distance. You're a damn master of making excuses, using us as a shield like that!
Looking at the chaotic Heibei City, Ghost King Hei Dun trembled with rage.
He never expected the Treasured Blade Assembly would turn out like this.
The blade was gone, and his entire fortune was gone.
Why? Why did this happen?
