Chapter 49: Reversal Prohibition

  Before long, a patrol of guards arrived here.

  "Captain, look quickly, it seems like there's someone over there!" Even though the patrol team had brought a lantern, the light still couldn't shine very far, and could only let them vaguely see a figure.

  The patrol team immediately became alert, and the sword master captain who was in charge shouted loudly: "Who is it? Get up quickly!" At the same time, he led everyone to cautiously approach.

  As they drew closer, they found that the other party was wearing the same uniform as them. A swordsman in the patrol team even shouted loudly: "Captain, it's Bruce!"

  The patrol leader also found out that Bru was bought by the Saru family at a young age, just like them, and trained as an attendant guard. Although Bru wasn't part of his squad, he was also very familiar with him.

  The captain saw that a small hole had been pierced in Bru's chest, and he was frightened. He immediately put his hand near Bru's nostrils, but unfortunately, Bru had already stopped breathing.

  "He's dead!" the captain stammered, and as soon as he said it, the team members behind him also trembled, and a thread of anger rose in their hearts: "Who! Who killed Bruce?"

  The captain did not become dizzy like everyone else, but instead furrowed his brow and gazed around: "From Bru's death situation, it seems that someone was ambushed and killed in one hit. It looks like someone has infiltrated our family. Quick, go report to the patriarch!"

  "Yes!" A guard hastily ran off.

  Soon, news of Bulu's death spread throughout the entire Saru family. The Patriarch of the Pari tribe also rushed over with a group of experts, disheveled and flustered.

  "What's going on here?" The leader of the Pa Li tribe glared angrily at the patrol captain.

  The patrol captain then recounted the situation he had discovered earlier and his own analysis to Patriarch Parri, who nodded repeatedly: "That's right, you're absolutely right. Go, pass on my orders, let them go take a look at the treasure vault. This person sneaked into my Saru family, must be for the treasure vault."

  "Yes!" The patrol captain received the order and immediately led his men to run away.

  At this time, an elder of the Salu family next to him suddenly frowned and said: "Head of the clan, could it be possible that Haitian did this? We just issued a wanted order for him during the day, and it's very likely that he came here at night to take revenge."

  "Impossible!" Parry vetoed without hesitation, "Haitian's strength is indeed good, but don't forget that he was also severely injured during the day. The Sword King's attack isn't something that can be easily treated! Without at least a month of time, he won't have any chance of fully recovering."

  "What you said is not wrong, but I always feel that this matter is a bit suspicious. In the vast Blackstone City, apart from the Li family, no one else dares to confront us, yet the Li family has no reason to do such a thing? Then who exactly killed Bulu?" The elder tilted his head, deep in thought, and couldn't come up with an answer.

  Pa Ri's eyes narrowed slightly, clenching his fists: "No matter who it is, but daring to kill the Salu family guard and infiltrate the Salu family is the greatest provocation to the Salu family. I must make him pay the due price!"

  "What a pity you don't have that skill anymore." Haitian, who was underground, sneered at Parry's words and continued to spread his sword energy, his goal already achieved.

  He killed Bruce earlier just to flush out the snake from the grass.

  He didn't know the location of the treasure house, so he could only let Parry expose the location of the treasure house himself. Just now when that team of patrolling guards left, Haitian had already planted a hint of sword intent on that swordsman.

  At this moment, he felt that the patrol guard was advancing towards the backyard.

  Suddenly, Hai Tian felt his sword sense being strongly interfered with, a massive energy was driving out that bit of sword sense from the patrol captain's body.

  Haitian's face changed color, and his body quickly moved in that direction.

  After making sure there was no one around, Haitian immediately crawled out from underground. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was shocked and opened his mouth: "It's actually an inverted seal! No wonder I couldn't detect the location of the treasure trove earlier."

  Inverse prohibition is a very special kind of prohibition, usually used to protect some important things.

  If it were someone else, they would definitely be helpless against this reverse seal, but who is Hai Tian? A former generation of sword gods, he may not have studied this reverse seal extremely thoroughly, but he also understands its shortcomings.

  Yes, it is a drawback, and any ban has its own drawbacks. This reverse ban is no exception.

  Once the sword intent spreads within the Reverse Restriction, it will inevitably cause a strong fluctuation in the Reverse Restriction, like a bright light in the dark night, making it extremely dazzling. In this way, one's goal will be completely exposed, allowing the enemy to discover it.

  It's likely that the master of the reverse seal was not allowed to use sword intent normally, which is how he evaded Haitian's repeated probes. However, earlier, a strand of Haitian's sword intent had followed the patrol captain into the sealed area, causing the reverse seal to produce intense fluctuations, and this also allowed Haitian to easily discover the location of the treasure trove.

  This seal not only has excellent concealment properties, but also has good protective functions. In general, unless you have the entry password, don't even think about getting in.

  The reversible ban also has a major drawback, although it has excellent protection measures for the sky and the ground, but there is no defensive means against the underground.

  "It's indeed not bad to reverse the prohibition, but Parry, how did you think of my Five Elements Escape Technique?" Ha Tian snorted and withdrew his sword intent, once again diving back into the underground.

  Having the Five Elements Escape Technique, this reverse seal restriction is like a child's play in front of him.

  At the same time, Parry, who was still standing beside Bruce's corpse, suddenly felt the intense fluctuations caused by the reversal of the seal. He furrowed his brow and shouted loudly: "Damn it, who is releasing sword intent over there?"

  Soon, the intense fluctuation disappeared, and Parry's eyebrows finally relaxed: "Hmph! If that despicable little thief finds out, I'll skin you alive. Also, get rid of this corpse for me, and the rest of you follow me to the treasure vault."

  The guards who were hiding near the treasure house in the inverted prohibition also felt that strong fluctuation, and they all frowned: "Strange, who is spreading sword recognition? How can it cause such a drastic fluctuation?"

  "It wasn't me." A swordsman immediately shook his head and said.

  "Not me." "Not me." "Even less me." One by one, the guards shook their heads in denial.

  At this time, the patrol captain who was informed by Parry rushed over and said breathlessly: "The clan leader said that someone broke into the family and asked you to be vigilant and prevent them from breaking into the treasure house."

  "Got it, but are you the one who released the sword intent?" The sword master, who looked like a guard commander, stared at the patrol captain with a piercing gaze, scaring him into breaking out in cold sweat.

  Both are swordsmen, but there is still a significant gap in strength between them.

  "No! Absolutely not!" The patrol captain immediately denied.

  "What's going on here?" The captain of the guard furrowed his brow, pondered for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "Not good! The treasure vault is in danger!"

  The guards were stunned and immediately opened the warehouse behind them, but there was nothing inside, no treasure, not even a ghost.

  Everyone was completely stunned at this moment, the vast treasure trove of the Salu family was empty, not even a single grain of mouse dung was left.

  "Great...great lord, this..." The guards were all frightened. As the guardians of the treasure vault, they knew many secrets. This treasure vault was the collection of the Saru family for decades, and now it has all disappeared. How can they explain to Lord Pari?

  It can be imagined that the furious Patriarch would skin them alive.

  Before long, Parry led the way to the Reverse Prohibition, and when he saw that the door of the treasure house was open, he shouted angrily: "What are you doing? I've told you before, without orders, don't open the door."

  "Tribe leader, treasure vault..."

  "What's wrong with the treasure house?" As soon as he heard this, Pari immediately had a premonition that something was amiss and hastily walked forward. But when he saw the empty treasure house, he was stunned.

  "Your... Your Excellency..." The crowd didn't dare speak loudly, only the captain of the guard barely called out a sentence.

  Pa Li suddenly reacted and loudly roared: "Ah! Who is it? Who emptied our treasure vault!"

  Everyone was speechless, and they also didn't know what was going on. To think that this treasure trove was as high as two or three floors, although it wasn't completely full, but it was already seven or eight-tenths full.

  It disappeared in an instant, and no one else could accept it.

  "How did you guard it? So many people emptied the treasure vault, and yet none of you noticed. What's the point of having you?" Pari glared at the guards, who were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak.

  Suddenly, a guard pointed at the wall and shouted: "Head of the clan, sir! Please look, there seems to be a piece of paper on the wall."

  Under the illumination of the lantern, Parry and others saw that there was indeed a note on the wall. Parry quickly walked over and tore off the note from the wall.

  "Dear Patriarch, I hope you're doing well. I'm deeply grateful for the several 'warm welcomes' you've given me. To repay your hospitality, I've taken everything from this treasure trove of yours. I look forward to having another opportunity like this in the future. - Hai Tian Liu."

  The head of the Pa Li tribe never dreamed that the little thief who came in was actually Hai Tian, and he even emptied his treasure trove completely.

  "Ah——Haitian! I'm going to kill you!" In a fit of rage, the Patriarch of the Parri tribe spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted, scaring the guards beside him into a flurry of activity. "Patriarch! Patriarch!"

  However, at this time, Hai Tian had already quickly escaped underground.

  "Ah-choo!" Suddenly, Haitian let out a sneeze and rubbed his nose, "Strange, who's thinking of me?"

  "Never mind, let's just hurry back and talk about it later."
