The night was silent, with only the low chirping of insects in the courtyard.

"Brother Qin Yang, it seems that guy is asleep."

Zilan whispered.

"Mm."

Qin Yang nodded, pondered for a moment, pinching a seal with his left hand while Spiritual Power gathered in his right. A spirit butterfly, glowing faintly, began to take shape in his palm.

Ancient Martial Artists have keen hearing. Even when asleep, they maintain a level of awareness. It was possible that Bai Junlong might notice Qin Yang and Zilan sneaking in.

"Brother Qin Yang, this is..."

Zilan gazed at the beautiful spirit butterfly in Qin Yang's palm, her bright eyes showing a hint of wonder.

"Slumber Spirit Butterfly, go!"

Qin Yang whispered.

The butterfly flapped its wings and flew through a crack near the window.

Inside the room, the butterfly hovered above Bai Junlong's head, turning into a wisp of light and entering Bai Junlong's body. His breathing immediately deepened, falling into a deep sleep.

"Let's go in."

Qin Yang whispered to Zilan.

In a flash, the two figures pushed open the room door and entered inside.

"Brother Qin Yang, this Spirit Jade is too big. I fear the two of us won't be able to move it."

Looking at the large Spirit Jade inside the silver box, Zilan pouted gently, whispering.

"No worries, I'll carry it."

Qin Yang chuckled and said.

"Great Strength Technique."

Qin Yang pinched a seal at his fingertips, using the Great Strength Technique on himself, a faint white light flickering in his hand.

"Lift."

Qin Yang grabbed the silver box with both hands and effortlessly hoisted it over his head.

"Brother Qin Yang, you're amazing."

Zilan's eyes sparkled with admiration as she spoke.

"Let's go, or else things could get tricky if those two Earth Tier experts return."

Qin Yang said with a smile.

Then, the two swiftly left the courtyard, heading towards their own quarters, unnoticed by anyone along the way.

Inside one of the rooms, Bi Luoyue stared in disbelief as the two cheerfully placed down the box they'd carried in.

"Finally got it."

Looking at the Spirit Jade inside the box, Qin Yang said joyfully.

"Brother Qin Yang, you're incredible, but what if those guys from the Celestial Dragon Sect find out it's missing tomorrow?" Zilan asked.

"If they find out, they find out. They won't suspect us anyway. We could also take a look at the Blood Eagle Sect. They're bound to clash eventually; might as well get them to start fighting sooner."

Qin Yang thought for a moment and said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go, Brother Qin Yang, let's also retrieve that Demon Beast Egg."

With excitement, Zilan nodded and said.

The Blood Eagle Sect wasn't far away. Qin Yang and Zilan easily infiltrated their courtyard.

Qin Yang activated his Celestial Eye, scanned around, and pinpointed Xue Wuchuan's room, where a Demon Beast Egg exuding a faint silver glow sat on a cushion in the center of the room.

It was the very Demon Egg of the Flying Thunder Eagle.

After employing the Slumber Spirit Butterfly again, Qin Yang and Zilan slipped into the room and smoothly retrieved the Demon Beast Egg, leaving behind only the empty cushion.

The two returned to their courtyard, carrying the Flying Thunder Eagle's Demon Beast Egg.

"Brother Qin Yang, when do you think it will hatch?"

Looking at the egg flickering with thunderous light, Zilan asked curiously.

"In a few days, it should hatch."

Qin Yang replied with a smile, sensing that a large portion of the nutrients inside the eggshell had already been consumed.

"Mm, Brother Qin Yang, now that we have both items, should we make a run for it?"

Zilan nodded, then blinked her bright eyes and asked.

"No need. If we run now, it'll look suspicious. Let's see what tomorrow brings. Maybe we'll get to watch a good show." Qin Yang said with a grin.

The next morning, just before dawn.

Bang!

A loud, shattered sound emanated from the courtyard of the Celestial Dragon Sect.

"Gone, how could it be gone?!"

Bai Junlong's face was gloomy as he slapped the redwood table into pieces. The silver box that once held the Spirit Jade inside the room was missing!

The Celestial Dragon Sect was a prestigious sect, and that Spirit Jade had cost them forty-three thousand Violent Dragon Pills—a significant sum.

"Young Sect Leader, even in your deep sleep, your keen senses should've detected anyone entering the room. How could this happen..."

Elder Qingsong grimaced, furrowing his brows as he spoke.

"When I woke up this morning, I felt a bit groggy. I suspect I was drugged with incense last night."

Bai Junlong clenched his fist in his sleeve, speaking through gritted teeth. As the Young Sect Leader of the Celestial Dragon Sect, this was his first time being drugged by incense.

"Who could've done this?"

Elder Qing Bai's eyebrows furrowed as he said in a deep voice.

"Hmph, who else but the Blood Eagle Sect would dare to steal from the Celestial Dragon Sect?"

Bai Junlong snorted coldly, his eyes gleaming with cold light, clearly suspecting the Blood Eagle Sect.

"We didn't even get a chance to enact our plan against them, yet they've already struck first."

Elder Qingsong said coldly.

They had planned to ambush the Blood Eagle Sect in Luofeng Valley tomorrow. Unexpectedly, the Blood Eagle Sect had already moved first, stealing their Spirit Jade last night.

"Let's go, while it's still twilight. Elders, come with me to check the Blood Eagle Sect."

Bai Junlong's gaze fixed in the direction of the Blood Eagle Sect's courtyard, his voice ominous. If they caught them red-handed, they could request the City Guard Army in Danfeng City to deal with the Blood Eagle Sect.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Three figures leaped into the courtyard of the Blood Eagle Sect.

"Young Sect Leader, Xue Wuchuan should be in that room."

Elder Qingsong pointed to the central room and said.

However, just as Bai Junlong and the others moved toward the room, the door suddenly swung open with a bang.

"Celestial Dragon Sect scum, it was indeed you who struck, and yet you still dare to come!"

Xue Wuchuan's eyes filled with a bloody Evil Qi as he stepped out from the room, gaze cold.

"Hmph, Xue Wuchuan, you know why we're here. Hand over what you took!"

Seeing Xue Wuchuan emerge from the room, Bai Junlong halted and spoke coldly.

"You mean this?"

Xue Wuchuan sneered, raising his hand to reveal a small bird, jet-black in color. The bird was only the size of a sparrow, with a sharp beak and piercing eyes.

"Night Traveler?"

Bai Junlong's face changed slightly.

"Our people intercepted this outside the city last night. We thought you would act tomorrow, but you had already moved first last night, stealing our Demon Beast Egg."

Xue Wuchuan sneered, then, with a sudden force, crushed the Night Traveler in his right hand.

Boom!

The Night Traveler exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

Watching the Night Traveler burst into blood mist, Bai Junlong's face twitched, then he stared intently at Xue Wuchuan.

"Did you just say my Celestial Dragon Sect stole your Demon Beast Egg?" Bai Junlong asked, frowning.
