Chapter 735: Chapter 0463: Who Do You Think You Are_2 Chapter 735: Chapter 0463: Who Do You Think You Are_2 Prince Zhao forced a bitter smile, saying, “Not that we didn’t seek help. However, the person who stole the silver was just too formidable. Even Immortal Master Gao and his team don’t have much confidence in retrieving the silver. Thus, the matter has been postponed.”
Qi Tian looked at Gao Jini. Without him having to ask, Gao Jini quickly said, “Master, it’s not that I didn’t try my best. After finding the culprit, I engaged him in a fight, regretfully, I was not his match. If I were to retrieve the silver, it would co at a great cost. A cost that a re five million taels of silver cannot compensate.”
“You’re not a match for them?” Qi Tian questioned.
Gao Jini nodded and said, “I’ve been relentlessly on their trail, and the man finally went into the Four Seas Bank. After considerable struggle to find out his identity, it was revealed that the person who stole the silver was Elder Zhang Weing, an elder from the Four Seas Bank. Later on, I found an opportunity to engage in a fight with Zhang Weing, but I couldn’t defeat him.”
“Did you figure out why he stole the silver?” Qi Tian continued to ask.
Gao Jini nodded, “According to my investigation, it seems that Zhang Weing was collecting so much silver for only one purpose: to extract the most valuable essence from the silver. As for what he wants to do with the extracted essence, I do not know.”
Qi Tian nodded. Just a few days ago, when he had taken Gao Jini and others to the Four Seas Bank to exchange silver notes, he had heard about Zhang Weing wanting the silver. At the ti, he had given the manager of the Four Seas Bank, Lu Chao, and another elder a beating, causing quite an upheaval, only to later successfully exchange the silver notes for real gold and silver. Unexpectedly, the silver took a full circle, only to be personally seized by Zhang Weing himself.
Qi Tian sneered, “He really dares quite a lot. Marquis Ma, stand up, it wasn’t your fault, and you don’t need to kneel down. As for Prince Zhao…”
Qi Tian’s eyes drifted towards Prince Zhao. Prince Zhao’s heart skipped a beat, he quickly bowing, said, “Master, if there’s sothing you need, just give the order.”
Qi Tian pointed his finger at Marquis Ma, “You are destined to be the master of Great Zhao. My hope is not just for you to ascend the throne successfully, but I hope that you can be a spirited, responsible, and enlightened monarch. Like today, delegating the bla to Marquis Ma for doing actual work, I hope you will do less of such things in the future, better yet, don’t do it at all.”
Prince Zhao quickly said: “I understand, Master.” He imdiately turned around, gave Marquis Ma a fist and palm salute, “Marquis Ma, it was my improper handling this ti, I apologize to you.”
Qi Tian did not concern himself with how Prince Zhao would nd the relationship between them and Marquis Ma. He hopped back onto the bronze crane statue, then waved his hand to summon Gao Jini and Jin Jin. The two hastily followed and climbed onto the back of the bronze crane statue. Qi Tian said, “You two will accompany to retrieve our silver.”
Gao Jini and Jin Jin had no idea that in just a few short days, Qi Tian’s cultivation realm had experienced growth, and his strength was incomparable to before. Gao Jini aid to perform well, and she said, “Master, why don’t I spearhead the operation once we enter the Four Seas Bank?”
Qi Tian responded, “You don’t need to be the vanguard. A few days ago, you couldn’t defeat them. Do you think you can now? Humph! When it’s ti to act, I’ll teach them a lesson myself.”
The bronze crane statue moved swiftly. The distance from Wangdu County to Four Seas Bank was not far, and within about ten minutes, the bronze crane statue carried Qi Tian and the others to the airspace above Four Seas Bank. Under Qi Tian’s control, the bronze crane statue emitted a piercing sound.
After the crane’s call ended, Qi Tian loudly said, “Is Elder Zhang Weing of Four Seas Bank here? Co and et .”
With a loud shout from Qi Tian, a multitude of people rushed out from the Four Seas Bank. The Four Seas Bank, as a money house, placed great emphasis on security. Among those who rushed out, there were ordinary guards and also cultivators employed as retainers by the Four Seas Bank.
Upon seeing Qi Tian, so had experienced the events of a few days ago, and so had not. Those who had experienced it changed their expressions dramatically, dropped their weapons and fled. They simply didn’t have the courage to confront Qi Tian. Those who had not experienced it were relatively fine, each wielding their weapon intending to attack Qi Tian.
With a wave of Qi Tian’s hand, a fierce wind blew up imdiately. No matter how robust ordinary people were, they couldn’t withstand the wind summoned by Qi Tian’s spell. They were all blown away, stumbling and falling, unable to steady themselves. Finally, only so of the cultivator retainers could still stand. Qi Tian looked at them and commanded: “Bring Zhang Weing to .”
“Boy, who do you think you are? Do you think you can see our Elder Zhang Weing if you want to? Brothers, who will take down this troublemaker for ? He dares to cause trouble at our Four Seas Bank; I think he’s tired of living.” A cultivator who seed to be a small leader furiously said.
There was no need for Qi Tian to make a move. Gao Jini rely waved her hand, and a golden light emitted from her fingertips, directly flashing across the chest of the small leader. A stream of blood spewed out from the man’s chest, his eyes widened, and he fell to the ground. It was clear that he was on the verge of death.
Qi Tian didn’t care. He said, “I guess you didn’t hear clearly. Who can go and tell Zhang Weing to co out and et ?”
This ti, no one dared to ignore Qi Tian’s request. Soone imdiately turned around and ran into the courtyard specially prepared for the Elder Retainers of the Four Seas Bank to report the news. But when they arrived, they discovered that Elder Zhang Weing was in closed-door cultivation. Not only was his door guarded, but they had even posted a sign warning that anyone who disturbed him would be killed without rcy.
That person was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot but didn’t know what to do. At this mont, a graceful figure walked out from another neighboring courtyard. She was another retainer of the Four Seas Bank, Wu Shenglian.
Compared to the domineering Zhang Weing, Wu Shenglian was much easier to talk to. The person imdiately greeted her, informing her about the events happening at the entrance of the Four Seas Bank, hoping that Wu Shenglian could co up with a solution.
Wu Shenglian’s face changed dramatically and she asked, “Is the visitor Qi Tian?”
The cultivator who ca to report nodded: “I don’t know him, but another fellow told that he is Qi Tian. Elder, what should we do? Should we inform Elder Zhang Weing? Qi Tian specifically asked to see Elder Zhang Weing.”
After a mont of contemplation, Wu Shenglian ordered: “You go to the gate first and try to stall Qi Tian. I’ll stay here and try to think of a way to invite him out without angering Elder Zhang Weing.”
The cultivator who ca to report didn’t find Wu Shenglian’s caution strange. In the Four Seas Bank, even though Zhang Weing and Wu Shenglian were both Gold Core Elders, Elder Zhang Weing’s status was much higher than Wu Shenglian’s. This was due to Elder Zhang Weing’s cultivation level and strength being stronger than Wu Shenglian’s, so even Wu Shenglian had to show deference to Elder Zhang Weing.
Wu Shenglian lingered near the sign hung by Zhang Weing for quite so ti. She was hesitant to interact with Zhang Weing but given the circumstances, she couldn’t just sit idly by. After all, she was part of the Four Seas Bank. As the bank faced such a huge crisis, if she stood by doing nothing, the higher-ups of the bank would not spare her. Even Zhang Weing would have no gratitude for her.
With a clenched jaw, Wu Shenglian retrieved a jade pendant. This was a Sound Transmission Jade Pendant, which functioned similarly to a walkie-talkie, allowing real-ti communication between two individuals. It was a far superior device compared to a ssage Paper Crane. It wasn’t sothing that ordinary people could afford. Within the Four Seas Bank, only Elders were equipped with it. Ordinary retainers couldn’t even dream of owning one.
“Wu Shenglian, what do you want with ?” A mont later, an impatient and quite rude voice ca through the Sound Transmission Jade Pendant. “You had better give a reasonable explanation, or I won’t mind stripping off your clothes.”
