There was a city near Ancient Sage Mountain.
Many people were gathered in that city. They waited in the taverns for any news from the mountain.
After waiting for a long time, the news came, but it shocked everyone.
Ji Wu lost?
That incredibly lucky prodigy actually lost?
That was ridiculous!
Also, how could that kid be that audacious thief?
At first, no one believed it. Everyone thought that it was a joke. However, when the large group of prodigies and elders rushed over and aggressively searched for that Qin guy, they had no choice but to believe it.
They were utterly shocked. The entire city was in an uproar.
“I didn’t expect that even Ji Wu would lose. That Qin guy is amazing!”
“The legend of our First Continent has fallen!”
Everyone lamented.
Then, many people became excited. Their eyes lit up with greed.
If that Qin guy was the great thief, he must have countless treasures on him. He was like a moving treasure vault. They would be rich if they could capture him.
“Let’s go and catch that kid!”
“That incident didn’t happen too long ago. He shouldn’t be too far away!”
They all rushed out of the tavern and joined in the search.
More and more people were mobilized. Countless rays of light flew out of the city in all directions.
The factions also spread the news within the nation. Soon, the entire Heaven’s Gate Nation was in an uproar.
Almost every faction in Heaven’s Gate nation was alarmed. They mobilized their disciples and joined the search.
The atmosphere was tense in Heaven’s Gate Nation. Cultivators traveled on the ground and in the sky, searching the area with all sorts of identification Artifacts.
Following that, the news spread to the neighboring nations. Those factions also joined in and began to search the borders.
The news caused a huge commotion when the great sects and conferred families heard about it.
The sect leaders were first stunned, then they were furious.
“Gather our troops and go to Heaven’s Gate Nation. We must capture that brat and get our treasures back!”
The sect leaders roared in anger.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The bells of the ancient sects and conferred families rang out. Their disciples set off and charged toward the Heaven’s Gate Nation.
The First Continent was in an uproar.
At that moment, Tang Hao was hiding within a mountain range in Heaven’s Gate Nation.
The news had spread too quickly. Before he could leave the borders of Heaven’s Gate Nation, groups of cultivators were searching for him with all sorts of mirrors.
He had no choice but to find a place to hide for now.
The cave was extremely deep, so he would not be discovered easily.
He sat cross-legged on the ground and meditated for a while. After he recovered, he opened his eyes and began to think of a way to escape.
He thought for a while but could not think of anything.
There were too many people. The entire Heaven’s Gate nation was looking for him. Moreover, as time passed, more and more people would come, making it harder to escape.
He was not in East End Nation, and he did not have a good identity to protect himself.
“Forget it. Let’s not think about it for now!” He muttered.
Instead, he took out his loot and began to organize the items.
He had gained quite a lot this time. That was because he had robbed Jiang Tianwu and Ji Wu, who had the best treasures.
Next was the two balls of elemental fire from the Feng family and the Great Sacred Flame Sect.
To him, elemental fire was the most useful. If he did not have those two balls of fire, he probably would not have been able to defeat Ji Wu.
He first inspected Jiang Tianwu’s treasures, then Ji Wu’s. He could not help but exclaim in admiration when he looked at them.
It was not exaggerated that Ji Wu’s stash of treasures was like a mountain.
Ji Wu had five rings. One was an offensive Artifact which he had used before. The remaining four were storage Artifacts. They were incredibly spacious and were filled with treasures.
The piles and piles of treasures dazzled Tang Hao’s eyes.
“I’m rich! I’m rich!”
Tang Hao’s body trembled with excitement.
Ji Wu had incredible luck. He had dug up and accumulated countless ancient treasures over the years, and all of them were gathered at one spot.
He looked around for a while and found the bow. He touched it fondly.
He quickly organized the items and imprinted his qi signature on them.
When he was doing that to the treasure coat, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
“That’s it!”
He was quite excited. After claiming the treasure coat, he took out the ancient token.
He activated it, and a streak of scarlet light landed on the ground. It turned into a scarlet flood dragon.
The scarlet flood dragon had regained consciousness some time ago. When it saw Tang Hao, its body trembled in fear and began to curl up into a ball.
To it, Tang Hao was a merciless supervillain.
“Good dragon! Come here!”
Tang Hao smiled very kindly.
To the flood dragon, that only made Tang Hao even more terrifying. It could not help but squirm.
“Don’t move. If you move again, I’ll smash you to death with my cauldron, then I’ll roast you and make you dinner!” Tang Hao said fiercely.
The flood dragon froze and did not dare to move.
“That’s better!” Tang Hao grinned. “Later, no matter what I do, you’ll have to cooperate obediently. If there’s even the slightest bit of resistance, that’ll be the end of you! Do you understand?”
The flood dragon nodded pitifully with teary eyes.
Then, Tang Hao began to change his appearance. He put on the treasure coat, hung the ancient jade token on his waist, tied up his hair, and wore the hairpin. He also did not forget to put on the two green snake earrings.
After changing his appearance, he became Ji Wu.
The only difference was that he did not have the vertical eye between his eyebrows.
He pondered for a moment and clawed his forehead a bit, making the spot between his eyebrows a bloody mess.
“It’s done!”
Tang Hao clapped his hands, returned the scarlet flood dragon into the token, and set off.
After leaving the cave, he first looked around, then went out. He tried to stay away from people as he moved closer and closer to the border of Heaven’s Gate Nation.
However, there were too many people searching, so he encountered several people anyway.
Those people were riding swords. They flew through the air and found Tang Hao.
They were about to rush toward Tang Hao. It was really suspicious to be alone in that desolate mountain range!
Tang Hao hurriedly took out the ancient token. With a flash of scarlet light, the scarlet flood dragon rushed out. Then, he leaped onto the back of the flood dragon.
“Good dragon, let’s go!”
Tang Hao called out.
The flood dragon flew into the sky.
The people were astonished when they saw that.
‘That person is stepping on a scarlet flood dragon, and his clothes… That’s right, it’s a treasure coat. Who else could he be, if not Ji Wu, the number one prodigy of the First Continent?’
