I am a mage and a wet nurse, so using seven swords is not too much, right?

"If we cannot completely block the area, the thieves will inevitably be able to escape."

Wang Wu looked at the Shadow Clan experts without any fear and continued, "That person should be invisible and able to shield all auras. If it is not completely sealed off, as long as you let people in and out, he can leave with them."

"If that happens, then no one will be able to catch them."

"Are you telling the truth?" the powerful figure who seemed to trust him the most asked in a deep voice.

Wang Wu nodded. "When have I, Wang Wu, ever lied to anyone?"

...You've lied to people countless times.

The cultivators remained silent.

But at this point, Wang Wu's problem was insignificant.

The most pressing matters remain the fall of the Northern King and the pursuit of the traitors.

"Activate the formation immediately to seal off the entire East Pole Valley. No one is allowed to enter or leave."

The monk hesitated for only a moment before making a quick decision.

The sound echoed throughout the entire Dongji Valley.

"My lord, isn't this a bit inappropriate? If something happens to His Majesty the Northern King, the clan will definitely send people to investigate thoroughly."

"Yes, sir, judging solely from Wang Wu's words... perhaps he's mistaken?"

"Don't you understand Wang Wu's intuition?" The cultivator who made the move said coldly. "No need for further words. I will bear all the consequences."

Even so.

He still took out a communication talisman and sent a real-time video message to his clan.

Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that the human race's communication talisman is really convenient.

Wang Wu was still observing his surroundings.

Unfortunately, he didn't feel anything again.

But the person is definitely still alive.

The blockade of Dongji Valley was timely, leaving the enemy no chance to escape.

And so it is.

Ning Ruan did not escape.

She didn't even head towards the exit.

Instead, he just randomly picked a spot.

He took out the Crimson Lotus Immortal Artifact.

Once the immortal energy leaked out, he quickly retrieved the immortal artifact.

Relocate.

No sooner had she left than several powerful figures from the Shadow Clan descended upon the scene.

The cultivator who made the decision even thoughtfully brought Wang Wu along.

"The celestial energy is right here. Can you feel anything?"

"I can't sense it." Wang Wu's expression was unusually serious. "They must have left."

The strongman: "..." It's always like this.

It is now certain that there is still a thief inside the East Pole Valley.

But they still knew nothing about who the thief was, what race he was, or what level of cultivation he possessed.

They hadn't even seen a glimpse of the other person.

"What exactly is he trying to do? Is he using immortal artifacts so frequently just to let us know that he's still in the valley and possesses one?" An elder frowned, completely baffled. "Besides angering us and exposing himself, what benefit does he have?"

"Perhaps... he's provoking us?" another elder said through gritted teeth, his face dark. "Is he deliberately toying with us by relying on his superior concealment skills?"

"No." The powerful figure who made the decision took a deep breath, suppressing his anger. "The initial leak of immortal energy was definitely related to his murder of the Northern King, as for now..."

"I'm not sure yet."

This intention is hard to guess.

Aside from provocation, there seems to be no other explanation.

However, this 'provocation' had barely subsided before it began again.

Once again, an ethereal aura appeared unexpectedly.

By the time they arrived, the magical aura had vanished, and the thieves were nowhere to be seen.

This cycle repeated many times.

Even if all the cultivators in the valley searched separately, they couldn't find a way.

The appearance of the celestial aura was too brief.

It was almost a fleeting moment.

The thief wielding the magical artifact also seems to possess the ability to become invisible.

They searched everywhere but found nothing.

Just as the Shadow Clan cultivators were about to break through their defenses, Ning Ruan felt that it was about time.

He took out the Crimson Lotus Immortal Artifact once again.

It was still gone in a flash.

The difference this time was that she entered the Crimson Lotus Space.

The lone Red Lotus also fell to the ground.

The fairy robes quietly covered it.

When the Shadow Clan cultivators arrived, they saw the same scene as before.

At the beginning of their being tricked, they also used the most clumsy methods.

Since we can't see it, we'll search every inch of the area where the celestial aura last appeared.

What if they find out something?

But as it turns out, the clumsy method was indeed clumsy.

Experiment after experiment proved that this was of no use.

They were just playing with them.

"Damn it, he's doing this again."

"Wang Wu, can you sense it this time?"

The numerous cultivators who came to investigate all turned their gazes toward Wang Wu.

His cultivation level is not high.

It could even be considered low, considering he's only at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

But his strange intuition did seem to be somewhat useful.

To this day, only he can vaguely sense the other party's presence.

"Can't sense it."

Wang Wu opened his eyes and sighed softly, "It's very clear now, the other party is just playing us."

"He might be watching us from not far away right now."

"Invisibility... Seniors, why don't you think about it? Which race, which cultivator, possesses such an ability?"

"It can be done without any fluctuation of energy. Or perhaps, this is the power of his immortal artifact?"

"..."

No, that's not true... Inside the Crimson Lotus Immortal Artifact, Ning Ruan was eating with Mu Yiqiu, listening to the conversation outside as they ate.

When discussing the results, she was very dissatisfied.

It was the Red Lotus that revealed the celestial aura.

But it was the fairy robes that could conceal their aura.

"...It's so delicious! Junior Brother Han's cooking is still the best."

If I had known it would be hidden inside the immortal artifact for a while, I should have asked Junior Brother Han to prepare more.

Mu Yiqiu: "..."

"...It's delicious, so you're not going out?"

Ning Ruan: "Hmm, not."

Mu Yiqiu: "Then they'll probably be furious."

Ning Ruan: "That's great."

Mu Yiqiu: "I wonder if I can attract a lightning tribulation inside a celestial artifact. If I do attract a lightning tribulation, will the lightning tribulation destroy the celestial artifact, or will the celestial artifact help me withstand the lightning tribulation?"

Ning Ruan turned to look at her, "Are you going to undergo another tribulation?"

Mu Yiqiu looked at her strangely, "Of course not, but who knows how long we'll be hiding here? With my cultivation speed, I can overcome the tribulation very quickly."

Ning Ruan: "..."

The conversations with outsiders are continuing.

Before long, an elder shook his head and said, "The only ones who can't be detected by us are those seniors from the ten major races who have never shown themselves... there is no one else."

"As for celestial artifacts, it is possible to accomplish this, but which race possesses such celestial artifacts is beyond our knowledge."

Another elder said, "Whether it's a celestial artifact or a secret technique, those who dare to attack His Majesty the Northern King can be counted on one hand."

"This matter is likely related to the other nine clans."

These words were spoken with unusual heaviness.

There was also a hint of anger mixed in.

It is clear that this has already been determined.

"It can't be the other nine clans."

"That cultivator who trusted Wang Wu quite a bit said in a deep voice."

"Why are you so certain, sir?"

"There must be a reason why I say this, but I cannot tell you the reason for now. But the Northern King... this matter could not have been done by the nine clans."

"Besides the Nine Clans, there are only other races that possess immortal artifacts. How dare they?"

"Once the thieves in the valley are caught, everything will become clear."

"..."

That being said.

That is indeed the case.

The problem is, they can't find the thief now.

The thief has not been found, but more and more speculations are emerging.

In the end, it all came to nothing.

The group of cultivators departed one after another.

They resumed their search in all directions of the East Pole Valley and waited.

They were trying to catch up quickly when the next magical aura appeared.
