The goofy junior sister is the most eccentric person in the entire cultivation world.

Chapter 521 All gone, all gone

Under the resentful gaze of the Star Daoist, the seven people and one bird boarded the Myriad Realms Dragon Warship and disappeared into the sky as a streak of light.

Northern Region, Tianfeng City.

As one of the top ten cities in the Northern Region, the Wanbaoge branch in Tianfeng City is exceptionally grand.

A seven-story building rises from the ground, its glazed tiles gleaming in the sunlight, and two lifelike white jade lions stand in front of the door.

However, at this moment, the branch office was in complete disarray.

"Quickly! Pack all the pills, magical treasures, and materials of grade three or higher and ship them to headquarters!"

Branch president Wang Mingyuan urged anxiously.

One of the deacons asked in bewilderment, "President, our branch's inventory has been accumulating for over a hundred years. We already sent away most of it last time, and now we have to send it away again!"

Wang Mingyuan's face was ashen: "Haven't you heard? Multiple branches in the Western Regions were robbed, and Chairman Li Canghai is dead! Headquarters analysis suggests that the bandits may have fled to the Northern Regions. If we don't relocate now, once they arrive, there won't be anything left!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud bang came from outside the door.

"boom!"

Two heavy bronze doors collapsed with a crash, and seven figures slowly entered through the dust and smoke.

"Sorry to bother you." Shen Rugo looked at Wang Mingyuan with a smile. "I heard you're transferring resources? That's perfect, saves us the trouble of looking for you."

Wang Mingyuan's pupils shrank sharply: "It's you! That gang of bandits from the Western Regions!"

Chen Tianba grinned: "Robbers? That sounds awful. We call this resource redistribution."

The battle erupted in an instant.

Wang Mingyuan was a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator with considerable strength, but he was captured alive by Shen Rugo and her group of seven before he could even withstand a single move.

Six other Nascent Soul elders rushed out upon hearing the news, only to be killed in the blink of an eye.

In less than half an incense stick's time, everyone was eliminated.

"Search!"

At Shen Rugo's command, the seven people split up and took action.

However, Xiao Qiushui soon returned in a huff: "Junior Sister, the treasure vault has pitifully few high-level resources! There are less than a hundred bottles of pills of grade three or above, only three grade five magic treasures, and as for various materials, there are more than half less than what we used to plunder from the branch!"

The reports from the others were largely the same.

Chen Tianba kicked over a shelf and cursed, "Those bastards from Wanbaoge have gotten smarter! They've hidden all the good stuff!"

Shen Rugo said thoughtfully, "It seems that the events in the Western Regions have put them on guard."

She walked up to Wang Mingyuan, who was being restrained, and squatted down: "President Wang, where are those high-level resources hidden?"

Wang Mingyuan gritted his teeth: "Kill me if you want, but don't even think about getting it from my mouth..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Rugo pointed a finger at his brow. The Soul Searching Technique was activated, and Wang Mingyuan screamed in agony as his eyes rapidly lost focus.

After a moment, Shen Rugo withdrew her finger and shook her head: "It's already been transported away. It was secretly sent to headquarters three days ago."

Everyone looked at each other.

Qinghe Daoist frowned: "It seems that Wanbaoge was prepared. If all the major branches in more than a hundred major cities in the Northern Region are like this, then we have made a wasted trip."

Shen Rugo pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Not necessarily. They can transfer resources, but the branches will still exist. Each branch needs to retain at least 30% of its resources to maintain operations. Moreover, the transfer takes time, and some branches probably haven't had time to transfer yet."

Xiao Changkong's eyes lit up: "That makes sense! Let's speed things up!"

For the next ten days, the seven piloted the Myriad Realms Dragon Warship, traversing the Northern Region at breakneck speed.

As Shen Rugo had predicted, some branches had sufficient inventory.

But the further along the way, the fewer people could grab them.

On the thirteenth day, when they had seized the fourteenth branch, Xiao Qiushui stomped her feet in anger: "These bastards deserve to die! They didn't even leave behind thirty percent!"

Chen Tianba was even more ruthless, burning the branch down in flames: "Damn it, we've suffered a huge loss. Are you kidding us?"

Shen Rugo remained calm: "As expected. Wanbaoge isn't stupid; after suffering losses time and time again, they'll naturally strengthen their defenses."

Qinghe Daoist said worriedly, "Ruge has already raided fourteen branches. Although the harvest is less than expected, it's still not bad. The Wanbaoge headquarters must have received the news. If they continue raiding, I'm afraid..."

Ye Xinghe also advised, "Yes, Junior Sister, that's enough. If that old bastard Ling Tian comes in person, we'll be in danger."

Shen Rugo shook her head: "It's far from enough. These resources are only enough for the sect for three months, while I need astronomical amounts of resources to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

And have you thought about that?

After this, Wanbaoge will definitely concentrate all its important resources at its Central Region headquarters, making it impossible for us to seize them again. Therefore, this is our last chance.

Xiao Changkong was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Junior Sister is right. Fortune favors the bold, let's do it!"

Chen Tianba and Xiao Qiushui, who were fearless by nature, immediately chimed in, "Let's do it! Steal it from him!"

Lu Haoran and Ye Xinghe exchanged a glance and made up their minds: "Then let's give it a shot!"

Master Qinghe smiled wryly: "You young people..."

"Fine, this old man will go crazy with you guys this once!"

So the robbery continued.

News of the repeated raids on the Northern Region branch of Wanbaoge spread like wildfire throughout the cultivation world of the Northern Region.

"Have you heard? Wanbaoge has been robbed again!"

"That's not all! They've already robbed more than twenty branches! Those bandits are absolutely lawless!"

"Who on earth is this person who dares to rob Wanbaoge?"

"I don't know, but they're definitely not ordinary people. I heard that each branch has a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, but they couldn't even last half an incense stick's time against that group."

The various sects were in an uproar, and everyone was filled with unease.

In the Northern Region branch of the Penglai Sect, the branch leader Zhao Wuji said with a solemn expression: "Pass down the order that disciples of the sect should not go out alone in the near future, and should try to travel in groups."

The elder stationed in the Northern Region of Misty Peak went even further: "Notify all disciples that they must not carry any valuable magical artifacts when they go out recently, lest they attract the attention of that gang of bandits."

Sects such as Tianji Mansion and Xuantian Sect have also taken countermeasures.

For a time, the major markets in the Northern Region became much more desolate, and cultivators dared not easily flaunt their wealth.

Meanwhile, the Wanbaoge Northern Headquarters was in complete chaos.

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

The Northern Region Guild Master, Frost Immortal, was furious. His pressure as a peak Nascent Soul cultivator enveloped the entire hall, and the dozens of branch guild masters below fell silent in fear.

"Twenty-nine branches were raided in just half a month! What were you all doing?!"

One of the branch leaders mustered his courage and said, "President, those thieves are too strong. They came and went like the wind. We didn't have time to react at all..."

"Shut up!" Frost Immortal slapped him away. "Was Wanbao Pavilion raising you all these years just so you could make excuses?!"

He was panting heavily, his face ashen: "Pass on my order: all branches must concentrate all remaining resources at headquarters, and all branches must activate their grand formations. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my permission!"

"However, this means all business at each branch will come to a standstill, resulting in losses..."

Someone hesitated.

"loss?"

Frost Immortal grinned maliciously, "Once the Grand Secretariat comes to punish us, we won't even be able to keep our heads. What business will we care about then?!"

He turned to the messenger: "Immediately request reinforcements from the Grand Secretariat! Tell them that the Northern Region is in imminent danger and request Ling Tian to personally oversee the situation!"

The messenger dared not delay and immediately activated the communication array.
