I, who was stabbed to death by Alloy Lu Bu, transmigrated into the Star Soul General

Chapter 200 Seeds of Doubt

“Alright.” Hearing Oleander’s urging, Max nodded, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, “Fellow members of the Yellow Hat Gang, please follow me. The second floor is the treasure vault of medicinal herbs, and the third floor is the treasure vault where the remains of gods are stored.”

There was a hint of nervousness in her voice, but she remained calm on the surface.

After all, the Yellow Hat Gang is a bunch of lunatics...

Oleander, Lao Luo, and Lan Chou, along with other cadres in yellow hats, nodded slightly and followed behind Mai Xi.

A hint of impatience crossed their faces, but it vanished in an instant, as if they were bored with the process of visiting the treasure vault.

Meanwhile, Lu Fengxian, who was invisible, quietly followed behind them, as if she were a transparent person.

His movements were light and silent, as if he were one with the surrounding air.

The group arrived at the second level of the treasure vault.

The scenery here is completely different from the first floor. A faint medicinal fragrance permeates the air, as if you are in an ancient pharmacy.

However, all of this was just an illusion.

In the second layer of the treasure vault, there are huge "refrigerators" on display. These refrigerators look no different from modern appliances, but they are not real refrigerators. They are just illusions created by deception.

The refrigerator was labeled with different names of various rare medicinal herbs.

Examples include "Dragon Scale Grass", "Phoenix Feather Flower", and "Kirin Fruit".

These refrigerators emitted a non-existent medicinal fragrance and non-existent refrigerator cold air, successfully deceiving everyone.

Oleander and the others looked around, a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Something feels off, but I can't quite put my finger on it...

"What are these things?" Lao Luo couldn't help but ask.

Mai Xi smiled slightly and explained, "These are rare medicinal herbs treasured by our Mai family. In order to maintain their medicinal efficacy, we specially use these specially made refrigerators to store them."

Her explanation sounded reasonable, but Oleander and the others felt that something was amiss.

The scent of herbs...

It's too obvious, too deliberate, but it feels very real.

It's so weird.

"Medicinal herbs?" Oleander frowned and continued to urge, "Our Yellow Hat Group isn't interested in medicinal herbs. Hurry up and take us to the third floor."

Her tone carried a hint of impatience, as if she didn't care at all about the strange feeling in front of her.

Max was inwardly annoyed, but outwardly maintained a respectful attitude.

"Master Mai, let's not waste any more time here," Oleander said coldly. "Hurry up and take us to the third floor. Or do you intend to back out?"

Her threat made Maxie tense, but she still maintained her smile.

“Alright, since you’re all in such a hurry, let’s go straight to the third floor.” Max said, turning and walking towards the underground staircase leading to the third floor.

Lu Fengxian, who was invisible, had been quietly following behind the group and had seen everything.

I forced myself to suppress my laughter and not let it out.

"How can these people be so stupid?" he gritted his teeth. "Hurry up and realize this is all a smokescreen, start making a scene so I can intervene. Stop dawdling, you bastards!"

"That Maxim is probably deliberately going in circles," Lü Fengxian thought to herself. "But these Yellow Hat gang guys are too stupid. They can't even see through a smokescreen, yet they think 'the old heavens are dead, and the new heavens shall rise'?"

"That bunch of clowns in yellow hats, if I wasn't worried about the potential for a bigger 'butterfly effect,' I would have just brought four Saint-level warriors and swept them all away..."

"You think you can still pretend?"

The group arrived at the third level of the treasure vault.

The scenery here is completely different from the previous two floors. A mysterious atmosphere permeates the air, as if you were in an ancient temple.

However, this is not a temple.

It was just a warehouse displaying huge "shelves" with divine remains of varying sizes on them. However, even the smallest remains were much larger than an adult.

“These are the remains of gods,” Max said. “Please make yourselves at home.”

Oleander and the others immediately surrounded them, their eyes filled with excitement.

However, they didn't realize that these were still just illusions, a smokescreen...

In fact, the entire Mai family treasure vault, except for some basic war supplies, had been emptied by Lü Fengxian and replaced with a false yet real illusion.

Just as Oleander and the others were about to start moving the divine remains, the entire treasure vault suddenly began to "tremble," and the huge divine remains gradually became illusory until they vanished like bubbles.

"What's going on?" Lan Chou was stunned, his fish eyes looking around blankly, looking completely bewildered.

He stared at the gradually dissipating divine remains before him, his heart filled with doubt and confusion.

This intelligent merman simply couldn't understand why the seemingly real divine remains had vanished without a trace.

Luo Yonghao's reaction was even more intense.

He suddenly looked at Max, his dim eyes behind his small round-framed sunglasses flashing with a chilling killing intent.

"Master Mai, are you trying to fool our Yellow Hats group?" Old Luo's voice was full of anger and threat, as if he was about to attack Mai Xi at any moment. "Are you trying to trick us into working for free?"

His questioning boomed like thunder in the warehouse, instantly making the atmosphere tense.

Max's expression changed, but he tried his best to remain calm.

He knew that he had to keep the Yellow Hats group in check, or the consequences would be dire.

"Luo, calm down!" Mai Xi shouted. "This isn't my problem, I really don't know why this is happening! I have no reason to lie to you!"

Her voice carried a hint of urgency and helplessness.

She understood that she was now in a very dangerous situation.

"Master Mai, you'd better give us a reasonable explanation!" Oleander still wore a smile, but her eyes concealed a surging chill. "Since the Yellow Hat Gang was founded, no one has ever dared to play us like this!"

Although her tone was calm, every word was full of threat and warning.

Max was inwardly groaning.

She really didn't know why this was happening.

Max's inner thoughts: ┭┮﹏┭┮

She had nothing to say, since she really knew nothing.

If she had known the treasure vault had been emptied, she would never have staged this grand "revenge for her father" drama. The penniless head of the Mai family was left with nothing but loneliness!

She regretted it...

She regretted relying on the Yellow Hat Gang as an outsider. Now things were really messed up; she didn't know who had stolen her family's wealth, and now she had offended the Yellow Hat Gang. She could no longer see any hope for the future.

Oleander looked at Maxwell with suspicion in her heart.

She didn't believe that Maxwell would be unaware of the true nature of the treasury.

"Master Mai, you really don't know?" Oleander asked coldly, "Or is this all a trap you set?"

Her tone was tentative, trying to find a flaw in Maxie's reaction.

Maxie's heart tightened, but she still insisted, "I really don't know! I'm a victim too!"

Her voice trembled with a sob, as if she were about to break down at any moment.

"Do you think we'd believe your nonsense?" Old Luo sneered. "Master Mai, you'd better tell us the truth, or don't blame us for being impolite."
