All-out: Starting with the Awakening Special Operations Unit, search, attack, and withdrawal.

Everyone was startled.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Xia Pingjie felt as if he had seen a savior.

"Dean, you've finally arrived! Waaah, that damned madman from the Black Hole Council killed my brother and then tried to kill me! If I hadn't reacted quickly, I'd be dead by now..."

Looking at Xia Pingjie, who was weeping bitterly, Xuan Yuan Shou's eyes were devoid of any warmth.

There was no comforting words, only a calm instruction to those around him.

"Evacuate everyone from the Rong'an Earl's Mansion..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and a phantom image of a black dragon flew out.

A handful of energy swept Long Mou, who had been frozen into an ice sculpture at the entrance of the vault, out of the vault. The ice crystals on Long Mou's body melted instantly under the influence of a powerful source of energy.

However, the power of the Zero Degree Freeze Can still left Long Mou unconscious.

Upon seeing this, Xuanyuan Shou frowned almost imperceptibly.

After Dou Hongling and the others left, he slowly stepped into the vault. He glanced at the empty doorway, and then, deep inside the vault, he saw a flash of white light and suddenly appear... himself.

Or rather, it's yourself wearing a minotaur mask.

Even a man as shrewd as Xuanyuan Shou showed a fleeting look of surprise and bewilderment on his old face when he saw the appearance of the person in front of him.

"Yo! Isn't this the guardian deity of the Great Xia Dynasty, the dean of the Dragon Roar Holy Academy, Lord Xuanyuan Shou?"

"You're here to rob someone too?"

Xuanyuan Shou: "..."

It even perfectly simulated my sound and energy fluctuations?

He secretly became wary.

This level of disguise is something even a super-powerful red collectible with a disguise function might not be able to achieve, let alone... He didn't see any traces of red on the person in front of him.

This disguise seems more like the other party's own skill or superpower?

No, that's not right... The energy barrier here is open. Although he wasn't greatly affected, he wasn't completely unaffected either.

Xuanyuan Shou temporarily put aside these chaotic doubts in his mind.

Looking at the "benevolent father" in front of him who was pretending to be him, he spoke calmly.

"You must be from Great Xia. It's not easy for Great Xia to produce another person who has fused with a dazzling-grade divine item... Turn back before it's too late. I can recommend you to the highest Dragon Pavilion. With the resources of Great Xia, it won't be long before you can take over my responsibilities."

"To serve as the new guardian deity of the Great Xia Dynasty..."

Xuanyuan Shou spoke earnestly and sincerely, his face full of genuine concern.

however.

His response, however, was one that made his eyes twitch.

"Ha! You think I'm like Father No. 109, a despicable scoundrel who only dares to bully the weak and stab his own people in the back? Let me tell you!"

Chu Hong held up three fingers.

"I, Councilor No. 110, Grandpa Niu, hate three kinds of people the most in my life!"

"First, the elderly!"

"Secondly, shameless old people!"

"Thirdly, he's surnamed Xuanyuan, and he's a shameless old man!"

"You happen to have all three of these traits, and you still want me to follow you? So that in the future you can kill me just like you killed Marquis Mingsu and Earl Rong'an?"

Xuanyuan Shou: "..."

Looking at the guy in front of him, he spoke while treating him as if he didn't exist, and picked up a supply box from the side on his own.

Then a flash of white light.

They vanished into thin air.

Two seconds later, it reappeared in front of him.

Xuanyuan Shou's old face twitched. The treasury's restrictive array was indeed unable to restrain this guy, that bizarre and unpredictable spatial skill.

"Your current high profile has certainly attracted the attention of many people. Even the Black Hole Council, which you are using as a front, has recently sent people into our Great Xia territory. I need to be constantly vigilant against them. If they discover you, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you much."

Chu Hong curled his lip: "I'm standing right in front of you, and you still can't catch me. I'm more curious how the Black Hole Council plans to catch me!"

Xuanyuan Shou frowned slightly: "Everyone has a weakness. If they discover your identity and use the people around you to threaten you..."

Chu Hong smiled.

His laughter was full of pride and arrogance.

"Hahaha! What a coincidence! I predicted their prediction! I have no weaknesses now!"

Xuanyuan Shou: "..."

Hearing the undisguised smugness and mockery in "himself's" laughter, Xuan Yuan Shou's brows furrowed even deeper. He took a deep breath and glanced back at the Rong An Earl's mansion.

The person before me stared intently at the Rong'an Earl's Mansion.

He has always been a loner, and judging from his words and actions, he should be a young man who is not very old.

Xuanyuan Shou seemed to have thought of something and asked quietly.

"You have no family left?"

His response was Chu Hong's figure disappearing again, carrying several more boxes.

Two seconds later.

Chu Hong reappeared right on time.

Xuanyuan Shou looked at Chu Hong, who was silent and still busy packing boxes of collectibles, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again.

"If I were to hand Xia Pingjie over to you, even if it meant you had to kill him... could you forgive and forget the grudge between you and the Great Xia?"

Chu Hong was taken aback, not expecting this old cunning fellow to be so direct.

However, a strange look flashed across his eyes immediately afterward.

This old man probably doesn't think that the people from the Rong'an Earl's mansion killed his driftwood...

"If I want to kill him, you can't protect him, and you can't stop me. So, this deal is inherently unfair," Chu Hong said with a slight smile.

The confidence in his tone made Xuanyuan Shou frown again.

However, Chu Hong's next words put his mind at ease a little.

"But don't be too nervous... There's a cause for every grievance, and someone will come to kill him in the future. In fact, it won't just be him. I'm just here to collect some interest."

As Chu Hong spoke, he tossed the last supply box in his hand, the contents of which he didn't know.

Smile.

"By the way, with such a large-scale operation in Xia Long Base City, and you saying you can't catch me anyway, what good is this prolonged tension, except for you all making things difficult for yourselves, getting checked multiple times just to take a taxi?"

"You should lift the curfew as soon as possible, I'm embarrassed for you guys... And those guys hiding outside, we've been waiting for you for ages, aren't you done yet?"

"Swish"

Chu Hong's figure disappeared from the vault.

Left alone in silence, Xuanyuan Shou took a deep breath and then a few more people walked into the vault.

The person in the lead was none other than Mo Xin, the chief inspector of the Xuanlong City Inspectorate.

He was still dressed in a smart and crisp uniform, but not only him, but also the several figures behind him dressed in the uniforms of the Great Xia army had solemn expressions on their faces.

"I didn't reveal the slightest fluctuation of source energy, and we didn't even enter the vault; we were outside the whole time. How did he discover us?"

Mo Xin looked at Xuan Yuan Shou: "Dean, this seemingly benevolent father appears to be communicable, but in reality, we can't control him in the slightest... We've seen the magic array in the Rong An Earl's mansion's treasury; it can completely restrict pioneers at the Condensation Realm. His... his dazzling-grade divine item, is it really only recently fused?"

Upon hearing this...

If it were in the past, Xuanyuan Shou would have confidently nodded.

At this moment, he recalled the various methods the "benevolent father" had just displayed: the freezing jars, the invisible hand, the disguise, and the seemingly effortless spatial teleportation...

Oh right, that guy also has the ability to sense energy that allows him to see through invisibility effects.

In addition, the dazzling lightning-type magic item brings forbidden spell techniques.

It's better not to think about it.

Thinking about it now, Xuanyuan Shou felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

This is practically a human nuclear bomb that kills anyone who touches it...
