Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 279 Blood Red Crimson

Although what Xu Yao said was quite shocking, since Xu Yao himself said it, it was still a serious matter.

So naturally, those present had nothing to say; the matter was settled.

In short, they did as Xu Yao said and went directly to Yue Lanzong.

Since Yue Lanzong died, the sect has been taken over by the Grand Elder.

The entire Yue Lan Sect has now emerged from the shadow of its sect leader's murder.

When the three arrived at Yue Lan Sect, the Miao Jiang Great Shaman said, "This Yue Lan Sect has now been completely taken over by this Grand Elder."

"Speaking of which, I helped the Grand Elder become the sect leader, and now this guy doesn't even come to properly thank me," the Great Shaman said.

Xu Yao laughed and said, "Great Shaman, there's no need to dwell on this anymore."

"There's no point in dwelling on this. We should be looking for the Red Blood Bead now."

"As for what happens to the Grand Elder, we can't be bothered with it," Xu Yao said.

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, the Miao shaman nodded and said, "That's right, let's just consider this a good deed I did anonymously."

After saying that, the high shaman asked Moza, "Do you know where this red blood bead is?"

Moza shook his head: "I don't know either, but I do know that Yue Lanzong's valuables are kept in the treasure pavilion."

“We can go check out the treasure vault. After all, it wouldn’t make sense if it weren’t there,” Moza said.

Xu Yao nodded upon hearing this, and it seemed that the only option now was to go to the treasure pavilion.

Although I don't know if it's definitely in the treasure pavilion.

And so, the two of them followed Moza to the treasure pavilion of the Yue Lan Sect.

Along the way, in order not to attract the attention of the Yue Lan Sect disciples, the three of them carefully sneaked into the Yue Lan Sect.

Then, the treasure pavilion appeared in front of the three of them not far away, and Moza whispered, "The treasure pavilion is just ahead."

"We can find it once we go inside."

Xu Yao and the Miao Jiang Great Shaman nodded, and the three of them headed straight ahead.

Soon, Xu Yao and the other two went directly into the treasure pavilion.

Upon entering the treasure pavilion, Xu Yao was quite impressed by the treasure pavilion of the Yue Lan Sect.

Honestly, while Yue Lanzong may not be the most grand, its treasure pavilion is certainly filled with many rare and precious items.

Even some things that Xu Yao himself had only heard of but never seen before, he saw here.

Xu Yao looked at the treasure pavilion in front of him and said, "I have to say, Yue Lan really knows how to collect things."

"With so many good things, can Yue Lan possibly collect them all? That's quite something," Xu Yao said, looking at the treasures in the treasure pavilion.

Moza, standing nearby, said, "These things might be treasures to others, but in my eyes, they're worse than dog shit."

“I only have eyes for this Crimson Vermilion. Let’s find it quickly first,” Moza said.

Xu Yao nodded, and the two of them began searching inside the treasure pavilion.

The treasure pavilion of Yue Lan Sect has three floors. The first floor contains some not-so-good treasures.

Even so, it is still much more powerful than many other sects.

Xu Yao and his two companions searched for a long time but couldn't find it.

After confirming that there were no cases on the first floor, Xu Yao followed the two to the second floor.

Upon reaching the second floor, Xu Yao realized that it was filled with treasures such as weapons.

Of course, some armor was also included, and some of these weapons are also quite good.

He even has a certain reputation in the cultivation world.

Unexpectedly, Yue Lan collected them all.

Upon seeing this, the Miao shaman remarked, "I've heard before that Sect Master Yue Lan's treasure vault is filled with many wonderful things."

"At the time, I thought it was a joke, but I never expected that it was actually true."

"To be honest, I've come to realize it now; there's really nothing to say about this."

"Today has truly broadened the horizons of this old man," said the Miao shaman.

Xu Yao didn't say much, but carefully looked around to see if there was anything he needed.

After searching for a long time, the red blood bead was not found, and no one else seemed to like this treasure.

The three of them recovered and went to the third floor.

Upon reaching the third floor, all that could be seen was a platform; there was nothing there.

The platform was completely empty; there was nothing there.

Xu Yaocai then said, "This place is a bit strange. Is it just an empty platform?"

"Could it be that the Crimson Vermilion was placed here, but someone took it?" Xu Yao said.

"Why are you so sure?" Moza asked curiously.

Xu Yaocai pointed to the surroundings and said, "Logically speaking, this third floor should be a place to store even more precious treasures."

"But as you can see, this third floor is just a platform for placing things; there's nothing else there."

"Judging from the dust marks on this platform, there was definitely something there before."

“Look again,” Xu Yao said, pointing to the dust marks on the table. “This is clearly the mark of a small box.”

“But the box is gone. Don’t you find that strange? I don’t think Senior Moza’s Crimson Vermilion is that big, is it?” Xu Yao said.

Xu Yao's analysis was certainly correct, but Moza also asked curiously, "Maybe it was stolen?"

"It depends on how you interpret 'being stolen.' Does it mean it's theft if it's taken by one's own people?" Xu Yao said again.

"Why are you so sure?" asked the Miao shaman.

"Since this blood-red cinnabar is placed on the third floor, it must be something very valuable. If it is stolen, we must take a close look at it."

"However, as you have seen, the entire Yue Lan Sect has not been lost because of this blood-red cinnabar."

"There seems to be nothing unusual, but the entire Yue Lan Sect seems to be doing as if nothing has happened."

"What kind of problem is this? It's because the Crimson Vermilion was taken by our own people!"

"Only by one's own people, and this one's own people must be in a high position and have direct access to the treasure pavilion."

"It's so logical to take away the Crimson Vermilion without alerting anyone," Xu Yao said.

"So, Brother Xu Yao, what you mean is, who took the Crimson Vermilion?"

"Perhaps the Grand Elder knows."
