Chapter 245 Bad idea
Zhou Jingze set up a formation in the room, and the two of them went down to the secret room. There were many open boxes, containing gold, silver, and some jewelry.
Qiqi saw it and said, "Brother Jingze, we have made a fortune. If an elder has so much wealth, then the sect leader should have even more. We will go to him and get some later."
The two of them quickly sent everything inside into the space. After they left the secret room, Zhou Jingze dragged the elder into the secret room. This elder was a mean person who coveted other people's things. Just look at his secret room and you'll know. He must have plundered so many families to accumulate so much stuff. Let him fend for himself in his secret room. Zhou Jingze cast a formation on the secret door. If someone broke the formation, it meant that he was not destined to die. If no one found out, it would be retribution for his evil deeds.
Qiqi and the others soon arrived on the roof of the clan leader's house. The clan leader couldn't see them at all. He was talking to an elder.
"Master, the people we sent out haven't returned yet. Did they fail to rob the gold? If they didn't, they should have sent someone to report it. Maybe they did, took it for themselves, and then fled, just like we announced. Or maybe they were caught by the imperial guards."
"No, the people I sent are very skilled in martial arts, and they will not be defeated by the imperial guards. He is the only one who can beat others, and no one else can beat him. I think they should be able to come back. Wait a little longer. Didn't I send so many people to look for them? If they are caught, we can say that they are traitors of our sect. The imperial court will never be able to find us. Don't worry, Great Elder." said the sect leader.
"Last time we searched for spirit stones, not only did we fail to obtain them, we were also beaten. I'm afraid we won't be able to obtain gold this time, and we'll be in trouble if we provoke the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I heard that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty are both very powerful. If they knew that we stole their gold, our Baiyun Sect would be finished." said the Great Elder.
"Wasn't it you elders who came up with the bad idea? Did you ask me to send people to rob? Why are you scared and regretting it now? It's too late to regret. They didn't come back, and I was afraid something might happen to them. That's why I asked the disciples to spread the word that there was a traitor in our sect. So that they could take the blame." The sect leader's calculations were very loud.
Qiqi and Zhou Jingze were filled with hatred. They exchanged glances. Soon, the two of them were in front of them.
"Who are you? How dare you break into the sect master's room?" the great elder asked.
Qiqi and the other two slowly sat down. "Who are we? We are the people you were just talking about." Qiqi and the other two revealed their true faces.
The clan leader saw them. "You are the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of the Great Zhou. What's the meaning of you coming here uninvited?"
Haha, "We heard what you just talked about. You robbed our Great Zhou's gold and are now creating chaos. What do you think is the reason we are here? We are here to get our gold back." Qiqi said.
"You are slandering our sect. When did we steal your gold? Show us the evidence," the Great Elder shouted.
"Evidence, you are our evidence. You will know later." Qiqi said slowly.
"You have no evidence. Coming to our sect is trespassing. We can arrest you. Come here. Arrest these two people." The sect leader shouted twice in succession but no one came in.
Zhou Jingze had already set up a formation, so that no sound could be heard from outside. No one outside could enter the room.
"Stop shouting." Qiqi stepped forward and pressed the acupoints of the elder as fast as lightning, and stuffed a truth pill into his mouth.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh," "What did you give me to eat? Why can't I move? Sect Master, save me." The Great Elder shouted.
At this time, Zhou Jingze also flashed to the front of the sect leader and pressed his acupoints. The sect leader stared at the elder with wide eyes, looking shocked. He had not expected that the crown prince and the crown princess were so powerful. They had no room to resist and were pressed by them.
The Sect Master was furious. What could he do? It was too late to regret. The Baiyun Sect was finished today. It had been expelled from the martial arts world.
It's all my fault for not having a strong opinion. I listened to the elders and went to grab the gold. I can't even save the sect.
Qiqi was waiting for the drug to take effect when she saw the Sect Master's expression changing constantly. "Hmph, whatever you were thinking, I'll make you confess today."
"What is your position in Baiyun Sect? Who ordered your disciples to rob the gold of the Great Zhou?" Qiqi asked the elder.
"I am the grand elder of Baiyun Sect. The sect leader sent them to rob the gold. But they haven't returned yet." said the grand elder.
"Great Elder, what are you talking about? I didn't send anyone to steal the gold. What nonsense are you talking about? Shut your stinky mouth." The sect leader said anxiously.
"Master, you were the one who sent people there. You have the guts to take responsibility for your actions. What is there to hide? You also asked your disciples to spread rumors, saying that they were traitors. If they were exposed, you would make them scapegoats. That's what you said." said the Great Elder.
"Great Elder, you are the one who made me do all this. It's all your fault. Why are you putting all this on me? You are all bastards. If this gets out, our sect will be finished.
"Can you move? Quickly untie the acupuncture points for me so we can catch them. We can't let this spread to the martial arts world. If we do, we'll have no place in the martial arts world. Shut up, you bastard!" said the clan leader.
"They've drugged me, how can I even move? You're the clan leader, aren't you very powerful? You boss us around all the time, but where's your ability? You're only powerful against us loyal subordinates. Get up and capture them."
Qiqi saw that the two of them started arguing.
"Grand Elder, tell me, how many people did you send and who are they? How do you know the route for escorting the gold? Tell the truth." Qiqi asked.
"We sent a dozen people, led by an elder. We bribed a minor official in charge of transporting gold. He often came to the capital to drink and gamble. He lost a lot of money and was afraid to pay it back, so we threatened to chop off his hands. This gambling house is owned by our Baiyun Sect. He told our official that he was the manager of a gold mine in Da Zhou. He sent us information about the gold escort to pay off the silver he owed.
The steward reported this matter to our elders. After discussing it with several of us, we decided to rob the gold on the way. No one knows who robbed it, and you won't be able to find out.
A few of us elders came to tell the clan leader, who initially disagreed, but couldn't resist the benefits we offered him, as well as the allure of gold, so we decided to rob him.
