"What did you say?!"
Having just steadied himself with the help of a personal attendant, Emperor Tianyu, disregarding his imperial demeanor, rushed to the front of that strong man from Tianyu Royal Family, grabbed his collar, and hoisted him up.
"Say that again?!"
Emperor Tianyu's face was contorted with ferocity, his eyes brimming with disbelief.
The entire Royal Treasury has been emptied?!
How is that possible?!
That's absolutely impossible!
That was the Tianyu Royal Family's ancient collection accumulated since the founding of the Empire, over a thousand years!
All of the Tianyu Royal Family's rare and precious treasures were in that very vault!
To say the Royal Treasury was the lifeline of not just the Tianyu Royal Family, but even the Yuwen Family, would not be an exaggeration!
With that Royal Treasury, even if the Tianyu Empire faced a catastrophic disaster, the Yuwen Family could rise again and return to the pinnacle of the Empire!
But now... they're saying that the treasury is gone? Emptied?!
"Nonsense! The Royal Treasury is full of perplexing mazes and mechanisms at every turn! To say nothing of the countless Arrays! And let's not forget, the Royal Treasury spans thousands of square meters! How could such a vast place be emptied out just like that?!"
Emperor Tianyu's forehead veins popped, utterly disbelieving!
The very reason he remained calm despite hearing someone had broken into the treasury was his conviction that nothing of value could have been lost to a break-in!
What could a mere thief possibly steal?
Even getting in would be a feat!
But now, the report from this Tianyu Royal Family's strong man dealt him a crushing blow!
"Your Majesty, it's true!" The Tianyu Royal Family's strong man had a mournful face, endlessly kowtowing on the ground.
"Not just the outer vault, but the countless wonders, resources, and Elixirs of the inner vault are all gone as well!"
"Our Tianyu Royal Family's millennial foundation is all gone, Your Majesty!"
The strong man from the Tianyu Royal Family cried bitterly and wailed.
They too were stunned when they rushed into the treasury!
Who would have thought that a mere thief could empty out the Tianyu Royal Family's millennial collection?!
No one knows how it was done!
When they entered, the entire Royal Treasury was spotless, so clean that it nearly blinded them!
On the spot, several Guardian Martial Emperors fainted!
And they haven't come to their senses yet!
"Impossible! This is impossible!"
Emperor Tianyu loosened his grip and kicked the Tianyu Royal Family's strong man aside, then sprinted towards the location of the Tianyu Royal Treasure Vault.
"Your Majesty!"
A crowd of people frantically followed behind, shouting and calling out.
With a fierce look, Emperor Tianyu rushed to the Royal Treasury, storming into the grand vault!
The moment he saw the vast and empty treasury, where a gust of wind might start a whirl, Emperor Tianyu's entire body trembled like a leaf in the autumn wind.
The next second, he let out a horrific scream, "Ah," and instantly fell backward onto the ground.
"Your Majesty!"
A group of strong men from the Tianyu Royal Family rushed to his side, propping him up and applying pressure to his acupoints.
It took quite a while before they managed to revive Emperor Tianyu.
"Puh!"
The moment he regained consciousness, even the composed and cold Emperor Tianyu couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood!
"Investigate!"
He shouted hysterically.
"Summon the ancestors in seclusion! Use the Heavenly Mirror Secret Technique to find that thief! I want her cut to pieces! Retrieve our Tianyu Treasure Vault!"
