Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

Top of the high-rise building.

The armored convoy's entire destruction process was seen clearly by Yang Fan.

He made a joke: "The Carmenians have done so many bad things in Ying Sang, this is the revenge of the Ying Sang rats!"

He chuckled softly again: "Anyway, it's none of my business!"

He didn't move a single finger, that's an undeniable fact.

As long as there is no evidence, it has nothing to do with him.

That's the obvious logic.

Yang Fan suddenly realized: "Perhaps the bombed Carmenians won't think this is just a joke."

"Last time in Xiaoye Liangzi's dream realm, I remembered there were indeed quite a few within the Ying Sang Kingdom who were hostile towards Carmenians."

"The Carmenia Federation has controlled Ying Sang for so many years, it's impossible for them not to be aware, they will likely investigate in this direction."

"Kato Taiji, who was killed by a rocket, happened to be the loyal dog of the Carmenians, this guy died so coincidentally, how could the Carmenians not have any ideas?"

Whatever Colonel Robert could think of, he could naturally think of too.

Yang Fan's expression was a bit subtle: "This pack of rats ran around the streets and might really have stirred up a conflict between Carmenians and Ying Sang people."

He laughed: "This is indeed a very good idea, seems like I can do more in this aspect in the future."

What?

One should be upright and aboveboard?

Carmenians haven't shied away from engaging in plots and schemes, you don't advise them to be upright and aboveboard.

Instead, you're here pretending to be a moral preacher advising me to be upright and aboveboard.

It's simply ridiculous!

He never felt that anyone was qualified to teach him how to act.

Yang Fan's mind stirred, and suddenly a black wooden carving appeared in his hand.

It was precisely a supernatural item "borrowed" from the captain of Ying Sang's superpower user.

He could sense that the wooden carving exuded an extremely strong malice.

It was a kind of extreme hunger "wanting to devour everything."

This was incredible.

But this was the truth.

Yang Fan smiled and said: "Indeed, a deceitful artifact."

He had heard about deceitful artifacts from Commander Zhang before, and had always wanted to get one, didn't expect to obtain one smoothly in Ying Sang.

At this moment.

A streak of black mist surfaced on the wooden carving.

The feeling of malice became even stronger.

Yang Fan frowned a bit and without hesitation, activated the power of the Thunder Branch and shouted: "Behave!"

"Crack!"

A flash of lightning.

A charred mark appeared on the surface of the wooden carving.

The malice disappeared completely in an instant and the black mist disappeared completely too.

Yang Fan pouted: "Really deserves a beating!"

In the dead of night.

Yinyue Mountain, Emperor's Blade Headquarters.

In a conference room.

More than a dozen personnel in black uniforms sat on the sides of a long conference table, each with an unpleasant expression.

"Gentlemen!"

The leading elder opened his mouth and said a sentence.

He glanced around the circle, his voice low: "We lost eleven superpower users and also lost a deceitful artifact."

"This is the most painful failure since the founding of Emperor's Blade."

The elder didn't mention the losses of the Carmenians at all, subtly showing a bias.

A middle-aged man said with a face full of anger: "How could one tiger and two monkeys have done such a thing? This absolutely was orchestrated by some countries behind the scenes."

Another black uniform asked: "Xia Songjun, which country do you think it was?"

The middle-aged man referred to as "Xia Songjun" simply replied with two words: "Great Xia!"

This answer instantly attracted a large number of opposing voices.

"Impossible!"

"Currently Great Xia is facing a Poisonous Mosquito disaster outbreak in multiple places, Great Xia People are striving to deal with Poisonous Mosquitoes, it's unlikely for them to be involved in our country's affairs."

"I also think it's unlikely to be Great Xia."

Xia Song tried to argue: "They have a historical feud with our country and have always wanted to teach us a lesson..."

The words were unfinished.

Then he was interrupted.

The elder opened his mouth and said: "Great Xia People are very rational, they are currently concentrating all efforts on solving domestic issues and unlikely to easily interfere abroad."

Xia Song dared not argue further, obediently closed his mouth.

Another bald black uniform said a sentence: "Could it be those people?"

Although the sentence didn't clearly state who "those people" were, everyone present understood his meaning.

Someone disagreed: "They had quite a few soldiers bombed to death, moreover Kato Taiji also died."

The bald black uniform immediately replied: "Those people are ruthless and there's nothing they wouldn't do."

"They have always plotted to control Emperor's Blade, this time, it's very likely just a probe."

"Anyway, the ones who died today were all ordinary Carmenian soldiers, not any important figures at all.

"As for Kato Taiji, they have more than one dog. Both the Yaji Family and the Longye Family are their loyal hounds.

"Perhaps it's just a case of these dogs tearing each other apart, and Kato Taiji was pushed forward as a scapegoat."

Someone stepped forward to oppose: "They're so aggressive, even if they go directly at us heavy-handedly, do we really have the ability to resist?

"There's really no need to sacrifice so many people, I find this explanation quite far-fetched."

The bald man in black uniform had already prepared an answer: "They can use this as an excuse to intensify their control over Ying Sang!"

He then added: "Don't forget, they are a top power with over eight hundred million people, and not long ago, they just summoned fifteen million troops.

"They have ample manpower now, which can be stationed in Ying Sang.

"They've always wanted to trample Great Xia underfoot, deeply controlling Ying Sang can provide them with enormous support."

This reasoning was self-consistent and quite persuasive.

Everyone fell silent.

A few seconds passed.

The elder broke the silence: "From today onwards, each branch must be more careful."

The object of "carefulness" was self-evident.

Everyone nodded in unison.

The bald man in black uniform switched topics: "The God devouring Wooden Carving was stolen, which might not necessarily be a bad thing."

A man in black uniform asked: "Why?"

The bald man in black uniform replied: "This deceitful artifact is too sinister; the more you satisfy it, the bigger its appetite becomes.

"I can assure you, if they abuse the God devouring Wooden Carving, it will sooner or later lead to a huge loss."

Another man in black uniform agreed: "The God devouring Wooden Carving cannot be truly controlled; it craves flesh and blood, and touches nothing else."

"If one wants the God devouring Wooden Carving to attack once, one must first offer a blood sacrifice, and after that, provide two humans as sacrifices.

"The God devouring Wooden Carving is very greedy, in the future, three or even four sacrifices might not satisfy it, and backlash is inevitable.

"By then, the users will be devoured."

This statement brought smiles to a number of those in black uniforms.

The elder nodded lightly: "They are a gang of greedy, shameless robbers deserving such an end."

*

On top of a high building.

Yang Fan gripped the Thunder Branch in his right hand, a face of fierce malevolence: "Eat what you're given, stop whining!"

The wood carving stood on the ground.

Next to it, a piece of shattered glass lay.

According to information provided by the Soul Stealing Wisp, the deceitful artifact possesses a terrifying devouring ability, which is why he used the glass for the experiment.

Yang Fan could sense a strong resistance emanating from within the wood carving.

It was extremely unwilling to eat the glass.

The Buddha Face on the wood carving scrunched all its features together.

Yang Fan pressed: "You're perfectly capable of eating it, go on and swallow it!"

With a thought, he activated the curiosities.

"Zzz～"

Accompanied by the sound of electricity.

Several strands of red arcs emerged from the curiosities' surface, instantly entwining around the wood carving.

The wood carving visibly began to tremble, the Buddha Face's eyes tightly shut.

It was clearly terrified.

Yang Fan coldly shouted: "I'll give you three seconds to consider, or don't blame me for being harsh."

One second passed.

A wisp of black mist rose from the surface of the wood carving, enveloping the glass shards.

After one breath.

The glass vanished.

The black mist retracted.

Yang Fan curled his lip: "Didn't want the peace offering, preferred the punishment wine."

He then picked up a dusty table leg and continued feeding: "Eat it!"

Black mist emerged again.

It crept towards the table leg like a snail.

Yang Fan impatiently urged: "Hurry up."

"Pal!"

A flash of electric light.

A new scorch mark appeared on the wood carving's surface.

The black mist accelerated with a swoosh, instantaneously enveloping the table leg.

The table leg quickly grew hazy, then disappeared.

The Buddha Face on the wood carving looked like it wanted to vomit.

Yang Fan shouted: "Stop pretending!"

The wood carving quivered.

The Buddha Face quickly returned to normal.

Yang Fan nodded in satisfaction: "Behave and listen earlier, you won't get shocked, right?"

The Buddha Face showed a crying expression.
