Zhao Xuan had no choice but to return to the Heavenly Eagle Cult's hiding place in Dadu and put the medicinal herbs in his backpack into the sack he had used before. After filling it up, he put the leftover herbs into another sack.
At this moment, Zhao Xuan's only target was the Seventh Prince's Mansion and Ruyang Prince's Mansion. After some consideration, Zhao Xuan decided to go to the Seventh Prince's Mansion first.
Although the third of the thirteen Mongolian eagles was a Xiantian fourth stage expert, he had to protect the seventh prince. The remaining Xiantian first stage guards were almost all protecting the seventh prince's family. Only one of them was guarding the door of the palace treasury.
However, Ruyang Mansion was different. There were many experts. Only six lamas protected Ruyang Mansion closely. The other experts guarded various parts of Ruyang Mansion.
There were also nine guards of Xiantian first stage sent by the Yuan Meng Emperor who were patrolling in turn. The difficulty of sneaking in and stealing was much higher than that of the seventh prince's residence.
After sneaking into the seventh prince's mansion, Zhao Xuan still chose to control the steward of the mansion and let him go to the palace treasury to attract the attention of the Upper Sky guard. Then, he took the opportunity to use the Nine Spiraling Shadows to pierce the guard's throat.
After killing the guard, Zhao Xuan entered the inner treasury of the seventh prince's manor. Under the guidance of the butler, he quickly collected all the medicinal herbs. Without even looking at them, he took them all away and carefully left the seventh prince's manor. He ran wildly towards the Ruyang Mansion.
It was already late at night, and it was almost dawn. When the guards changed shifts, they would discover that the palace treasury of the mansion had been stolen. Therefore, they had to hurry to Ruyang Mansion to obtain Heavenly Sword. This was Zhao Xuan's primary goal this time.
After arriving at the Ruyang Mansion, Zhao Xuan avoided the guards 'patrol while carefully searching for Heavenly Sword's whereabouts. An hour later, he came out of the place where the Inborn experts stayed. He had searched all the other rooms, but unfortunately, there was nothing.
Seeing that there was still an hour before dawn, and the guards should be changing shifts, Zhao Xuan could not help but feel a little anxious.
At this moment, Zhao Xuan had a flash of inspiration. He suddenly remembered that in the original novel, Zhao Min said that Heavenly Sword was her family's treasured sword. This meant that Heavenly Sword had always been in the hands of Prince Ruyang and could not be given to others.
Based on this, it could be inferred that Heavenly Sword was either placed in Prince Ruyang's room or kept in the palace treasury.
Prince Ruyang had six lamas guarding him, so his life would not be in danger. He had never practiced internal energy before, so without internal energy, he could not use Heavenly Sword.
Therefore, Heavenly Sword was only a sharp sword to Prince Ruyang. The probability of it being placed in the treasure vault of the prince's residence was very high!
Now, the only problem facing Zhao Xuan was how to sneak into the palace treasury of the Prince's mansion. There were three Upper Sky Realm guards guarding here. Although it was easy to kill them, it was impossible to not make any noise.
Zhao Xuan thought for a while and decided to set the fire. When the time came, he would take advantage of the chaos to kill the Upper Sky guards guarding the palace treasury. Presumably, no one would investigate because Prince Ruyang's life was more important.
So Zhao Xuan personally went to the kitchen of the prince's mansion and took out two large barrels of oil. Then, he sprinkled them all over the houses of the prince's mansion.
He also used the Soul Assimilation Technique to control the servants in the houses and ordered them to start the fire in ten minutes. He ran to the vicinity of the palace treasury door and waited for an opportunity.
When the time was up, small flames appeared around the residence. In a short while, they turned into raging flames. The sudden appearance of the fire caused the entire residence to panic.
After a long while, they finally realized that they needed to put out the fire. Therefore, the shouts of putting out the fire rose and fell. Other than some necessary people, everyone else in the Imperial Residence was transferred to put out the fire by Prince Ruyang.
Zhao Xuan, who was hiding at the side, saw that two of the three Upper Sky guards guarding the palace treasury had been transferred away. He knew that the time had come, so he jumped out of his hiding place and punched the remaining Upper Sky guard with the Great Demon Fist.
When the guard saw Zhao Xuan suddenly appear, he was shocked. However, when he felt that Zhao Xuan's aura was only at the Postliminary Realm, he was relieved. He did not dodge and punched Zhao Xuan.
In his opinion, although this punch was rushed and could only display 30% of his strength, it was enough to repel this little thief who was only in the Houtian realm in front of him, or even injure him.
However, as soon as their fists touched, a huge force came over. The guard knew that this was not good, and then his vision went black, and he did not know anything.
Zhao Xuan looked at the dying guard and said disdainfully,"I've already cultivated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art to the ninth level, and my physical strength alone is more than 9000 pounds. With the Nine Yang Divine Skill and the Great Demon Subduing Fist, even if you attack with all your strength, you'll still be seriously injured by this punch, let alone fighting in such a hurry!”
Zhao Xuan casually killed the guard with his sword and entered the palace treasury. He saw more than ten boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry. Beside them were all kinds of expensive antiques and paintings.
Further in, there was a large pile of natural treasures and precious medicinal herbs. Basically, they were all over a hundred years old. As for those below a hundred years old, they were piled up into a small mountain in the corner of the wall.
Even with Zhao Xuan's knowledge, he could not help but be shocked by the wealth of Ruyang Mansion. This was already comparable to the total amount of medicinal herbs stolen tonight.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Xuan quickly packed up all the medicinal herbs that were over a hundred years old. He used two gunny sacks to finish packing them.
At this moment, Zhao Xuan only had one thought in his mind, and that was to find Heavenly Sword and leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if anything went wrong, it would be too late to cry.
Fortunately, in front of him was the place where Prince Ruyang stored his divine weapons. Zhao Xuan hurried forward and did not dare to delay for a moment. He quickly searched for Heavenly Sword and soon saw a sword with the word 'Heavenly' engraved on the hilt.
Zhao Xuan picked up Heavenly Sword and circulated his internal strength. He then swung the sword forward. Instantly, a sharp sword qi cut through all the weapons in front of him.
Seeing how powerful this sword was, Zhao Xuan knew that it was indeed Heavenly Sword. He then put it away and was about to leave with the two sacks of medicinal herbs when he suddenly saw the luminous pearl on the wall.
One of them was only about an inch long. It was pure white in color, but its light was the brightest luminous pearl. He had a thought and took it down and put it away. Then, he took advantage of the chaos in the Imperial Residence to sneak away.
When Zhao Xuan returned to the hiding place of the Heavenly Eagle Cult, the guards he had killed had already been discovered. Then, the entire Prince's mansion was immediately under martial law.
