Chapter 56: Unprecedented Bustle

  At midnight, a large number of fireflies flew out of Huo Hai's courtyard one by one. As usual, no one paid attention to these insects. After they dispersed, there didn't seem to be many left.

  "It's really tiring to raise so many Star Gu, I should let them eat on their own. "Huo Hai's face looked a bit exhausted, as he had been using his spiritual power to feed the Star Gu since they returned. Feeding with spiritual power was also the best way to nourish them. Huo Hai wanted the Star Gu to increase their power within a short period of time."

  It's still better with the old Star Gu, because it has eaten a lot of things containing spiritual power, and its internal storage of spiritual power is very large. If it doesn't fight, it won't need to be fed by Huo Hai himself for several years. For the first time feeding so many Gu worms, Huo Hai finally knows what it means to be exhausted.

  Under the cover of night, a large number of locusts flew to the He family again under the leadership of Mi Huan and Xiao Jin. This time, it's not for sightseeing or playing, but for sabotage. The He family dared to lay hands on themselves, and Huo Hai would not let them off either.

  A large number of star worms fell into the Huo family, and under the command of Huo Hai, they began to eat wildly. The first to take action were naturally the various warehouses of the He family. The weapons inside, or other spiritual medicines and pills, were all targets for eating.

  Looking at the large amount of dan medicine, Huo Hai really hoped to get it. Unfortunately, in reality, there seemed to be no space ring or anything like that, and there was nowhere to store them. If they were all put on his body, he wouldn't be able to explain where these things came from. If someone saw him, he would be exposed. Helplessly, it seemed like the only option was to let the Star Gu worms go to waste.

  "Alright, eat up, but be quiet and don't let anyone discover us." With Huo Hai's order, the Xing Huangs, who had been eyeing these things for a long time, immediately started eating. The Xing Huangs ate very quickly, and in an instant, they cleaned out the entire warehouse.

  After eating, Huo Hai controlled the Star Gu and immediately left. He even used the hallucinatory ability of the Hallucinatory Butterfly to interfere with the two guards at the door, making them unaware of so many insects entering and exiting.

  A few minutes later, a group of people arrived at the warehouse. This was the regular inspection team. "How's it going? There wasn't any commotion earlier and no one came into the warehouse, right?" They would come to ask every hour.

  "No, we're stuck here, and even the young masters haven't come. Talking about those young masters gives them a headache. They can just walk into the warehouse, take something without recording it, and no one says anything. But if something goes missing, they get scolded. Can they really control this? If the young masters don't come, that's already a blessing."

  "Alright, we'll go in and check. You all continue to guard here." The newcomer picked up the account book and walked into the warehouse. To be honest, originally the He family didn't have such strict checks, this was only recently added.

  The reason is also related to Huo Hai, the last time he took away 200 Refining Body Pills from the He family, which led to a series of changes in the Huo family. Afterwards, the guards here became much stricter, and every hour, someone would come to check specifically.

  It is said that from now on, there will be an additional family rule. Anyone who takes something from the warehouse without leaving a record will be severely punished. Even if this person is a direct descendant of the family, a young master of the family, or even an elder of the family, it will be the same. If that's really the case, then maybe the days ahead won't be so bad after all. The two guards were thinking to themselves when suddenly, a blood-curdling scream came from behind them.

  "What's going on here? You two come in and tell me, who exactly has been in here."

  Two guards walked into the warehouse with a puzzled expression, and then they were stunned. In the vast warehouse, at this moment, there was nothing left. Not only various medicinal materials and pills, but even the cabinets that held these things had disappeared.

  "This, what's going on? We don't know either. Really no one came in from the main gate. No good, must quickly report to the master." One of the guards reacted relatively quickly, immediately thinking of reporting the matter upwards.

  This matter has already exceeded their endurance. When the owner was called out of the room, his face was full of anger. But soon, the anger turned into shock. He rushed over to see the empty medicine warehouse, and the owner's face didn't know how to express itself. So many things, where did they all go?

  These things are lost, and what's lost is the entire He family's foundation. Some of these things are extremely valuable, and their total value added up would be worth several years of the He family not eating or drinking to earn.

  The master of the house suddenly burst into anger: "What's going on, how did you guard the gate? Didn't you hear any movement at all? The things inside were moved so cleanly, and you still don't know what the family wants from you." In his rage, the master swung his arm. A powerful spiritual force shot out through his fist, sending the two guards flying out of the room on the spot.

  When the guard fell to the ground, his two eyes were wide open and he had lost all sound. All the people present were silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to speak a word. The master of the house who was getting up would not care who you are.

  But soon, they had to speak up. The person who had previously inspected the warehouse suddenly ran out of the house and shouted loudly: "No, no! Master, the warehouse has also been emptied!"

  The master of the house hadn't finished speaking when he was almost choked by these words. In a state of shock, he hastily ran inside. At first glance, he almost couldn't catch his breath. The warehouse inside was where the family's weapons and minerals were stored.

  In fact, the warehouse for medicinal herbs is also the same, but now it's empty and spotless. There isn't even a speck of dust on the ground, nor any footprints or other clues left behind. All that remains is a warehouse cleaner than a dog-licked plate. Such a large warehouse was once something to be proud of, yet now it's also something to grieve over.

  Suddenly, the master of the house seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly crossed this warehouse to the last one. What was stored here was extremely important to the family. As soon as he entered, the master almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

  "Trash, all trash, things have been moved away, and you didn't even notice. Find it for me, the beast must be created." This time the loss is huge, the entire He family's hundred-year collection has disappeared like this.

  There are even some things that can't be bought with spirit stones, no matter how much you're willing to pay. This loss is just too great, if we can't make it back, the decline of the He family will be set in stone. Such a large family, so many people, all need money for food and drink, and resources for cultivation. Without resources, how can we guarantee our cultivation, how can we guarantee our status?

  "No, no, it's terrible, master! You'd better go and take a look at the library, all, all of the books are gone."

  The master of the He family was shocked, and hurriedly ran to the library. Finally, a mouthful of blood couldn't be held back, and it spurted out directly. Who did this? The family's collection of books! This is the foundation that determines whether a large family can continue to exist.

  "You, you must find the murderer for me, or none of you will be allowed to return." The master's face was deathly pale, his heart aching. In addition to the warehouse in the library, there was another one, a special warehouse for storing spirit stones.

  As expected, all the spiritual stones had disappeared without a trace, including the explosive ones. Everything else was gone too, leaving nothing behind. The master couldn't hold back and spat out several mouthfuls of blood again, his complexion wan and as if he had suffered some severe injury. Just a few days ago, the master was still excited about taking control, but now all that remained was pain.

  The loss of so many things, the master of this house can't hold it in. The face of the He family's master turned pale, and at this time, other members of the family also rushed out due to the commotion outside.

  Several people with complex identities changed their faces immediately after learning about the situation here. This is no longer a matter of personal interest. If these things can't be found, it's likely that the He family will have a hard time keeping their position in Western China.

  Without funding, the family's industry would completely collapse. At that time, there were powers no weaker than the He family who would come to ask for an explanation. "Head of the household, how is it going? Have you found the fierce beast or not? So many things can't just disappear into thin air." A group of elders suddenly rushed into the library pavilion. Just looking at the state of the library pavilion made their faces unsightly.

  Yes, with so many things, there shouldn't be a complete silence, but they are indeed completely silent. Even if they grew wings and flew away, at least people should have heard the sound of them flying.

  "It's all gone, everything is gone." The master of the He family seemed to have suffered a lot of blows and was somewhat dazed.

  Just then, someone else shouted loudly: "No, no, something's wrong!" Hearing the familiar voice, the master of the house suddenly raised his head and rushed out like lightning, grabbing the guard's clothes.

  "What's missing, anyway?" The family had already lost so much; losing anything else would only add to their anger. The elder next to him saw the guard almost being strangled and quickly pulled the master down. The guard took a deep breath, looking at the high-ranking members of the family with lingering fear, the master had gone mad.

  "No, nothing's missing." The guard said hesitantly, and everyone relaxed. "But, but the toilet just collapsed." What? The toilet collapsed, what on earth is going on.

  Don't look at it as just a simple toilet, but in reality, as the He family's toilet, the stones and pillars used are of the highest quality, with no problem with sturdiness. Even after hundreds of years, it won't necessarily collapse, what's going on here? Fortunately, this is just a toilet, nothing big, everyone thinks to themselves.
