“What is this thing?” Lin Fan looked at the black triangular cloth in his hand, somewhat puzzled.
“Ding! Congratulations on discovering a special treasure—the Masking Scarf.”
“Masking Scarf: Keep it close to your body; it conceals your aura.”
Upon hearing the system’s prompt, Lin Fan immediately felt helpless. How boring. Just as he’d expected—completely useless.
At first, he thought it was something valuable, but it turned out to be a piece of junk.
“Give it back! Give it back!” Long Yumo cried desperately, his eyes turning red at the sight of the other taking his precious treasure.
This incredibly ugly scarf was his most cherished possession. Much of the wealth he had accumulated was thanks to it.
It concealed his aura, making it impossible for others to detect his presence.
When he sneaked into secret realms to hunt for treasures or ambushed others for their riches, it was always this Masking Scarf that helped him.
If this human took it, it would make future accumulations extremely difficult for him.
“You actually want something this useless?” Lin Fan said disdainfully.
Such trash wouldn’t even be worth picking up if it were lying on the road. He never expected Long Yumo would actually treasure it.
But just moments ago, he hadn’t sensed Long Yumo approaching his side—that must have been the scarf’s doing.
“Human Emperor, please, since you think it’s trash, just give it back to me,” Long Yumo pleaded, almost in tears.
To keep the treasure safe, Long Yumo had even used it as underwear, tucking it away in his pants to prevent anyone from taking it. He never imagined this human would be so perverted.
Not only did he seize his storage ring, but he also stripped him completely, exposing the Masking Scarf.
“No way. Once something is in my hands, it’s mine to keep. Unless…” Lin Fan said, “you can redeem it with another treasure.”
Long Yumo looked at Lin Fan, unsure what to do, but his heart was filled with anxiety.
This was his most treasured item—how could he possibly let it go?
“My treasures have all been taken by you. I really don’t have anything left,” Long Yumo lamented, nearly in tears. “Heaven and Earth, please open your eyes and strike this beast down!”
He prayed desperately, but no help arrived.
“Fine then, if you have no treasure to exchange, how can I give it back? Even if it’s trash, I think I’ll just keep it,” Lin Fan said with a sigh.
“No… no!” Long Yumo cried. He truly couldn’t bear to lose this treasure.
If he really lost it, he would die of grief.
“Ah, well then, you must give me another treasure in exchange,” Lin Fan said.
Long Yumo was filled with reluctance. He had already sent out his mental call, so why hadn’t anyone arrived yet? Could it be that his fellow kin no longer coveted his treasures?
“How can I trust you?” Long Yumo said in agony.
But thinking of the Masking Scarf, he could only reluctantly give up another treasure.
Hearing this, Lin Fan was momentarily stunned. This fellow still had another treasure hidden? He was completely naked now, nothing left on him—where else could he possibly hide something?
“Fine,” Lin Fan said. “I, Lin Fan, the Human Emperor, swear to the heavens—if I take your treasure in exchange and still keep the Masking Scarf, may I be struck by lightning and die without a grave!”
“Fine, I believe you,” Long Yumo thought furiously, but he had no other choice.
If it weren’t for this human possessing such a strange treasure that could attack one’s mind, he would have already slashed him into pieces.
“Come out…”
At that moment, Long Yumo whispered softly. Instantly, a rod flew out from his ear, rapidly growing in size.
“This is a treasure I discovered in another world. It’s a pillar that supports the sky, capable of expanding or shrinking. It’s a truly great treasure,” Long Yumo said painfully.
He had obtained it by chance. Although it didn’t possess much power, its ability to change size was extremely rare—something even the ancient clans couldn’t replicate.
When Lin Fan saw the rod emerging from Long Yumo’s ear, he was momentarily stunned.
Could this be the Ruyi Jingu Bang—the legendary Sea-calming Needle?
As Lin Fan touched the rod, the system immediately analyzed it.
“Sky Pillar: A pillar used by the Sky-supporting Race, capable of expanding or shrinking. Not particularly useful.”
Lin Fan sighed helplessly. He had been too hopeful—the rod wasn’t the Sea-calming Needle after all.
“This seems pretty useless,” Lin Fan remarked.
Long Yumo panicked. “I really don’t have any other treasures left. All my treasures are already with you.”
“Fine then, I’ll take it,” Lin Fan said.
“Great! According to your oath, give me back the Masking Scarf,” Long Yumo said eagerly.
As long as he could retrieve the Masking Scarf, it would be worth losing anything else.
“Here,” Lin Fan tossed the scarf over.
“I don’t even know how low your IQ really is. Why do you insist on having this Masking Scarf?” Lin Fan said helplessly.
Hearing this, Long Yumo was momentarily stunned, not quite understanding.
“Your life is in my hands. I give you the scarf and then kill you—I get it back again. That’s a pretty good deal,” Lin Fan said with a smile.
“What? You’re going back on your word!” Long Yumo’s face changed color instantly.
“What backtracking? I never said I would spare your life from the beginning,” Lin Fan said calmly.
“You…” Long Yumo glared at Lin Fan furiously. He never expected this human to be so shameless and despicable.
Watching the scene unfold, the Fenghuang Clan began to laugh.
Seeing Long Yumo’s furious yet helpless expression, they felt a great sense of satisfaction.
Especially the two female members, who lowered their heads and averted their eyes—after all, Long Yumo wasn’t exactly a handsome sight to behold.
But for the Fenghuang Clan, they were determined to show their cooperation and beg for mercy to preserve their lives.
Boom!
At that moment, a series of dragon roars echoed from the void.
In the distant sky, majestic dragon shadows appeared. These dragon shadows were incredibly imposing, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, exuding a vast and mighty aura.
“Hahaha! Your time is up! My kin have arrived—you’re doomed!”
At this moment, Long Yumo roared furiously.
“Everyone be careful! This guy has a treasure that attacks the mind—shut off your hearing, and don’t fall victim!”
“Long Yumo, we didn’t expect you to reveal your location. Did you encounter trouble?” The dragon shadows in the void roared continuously, shaking the void.
“Treasure that attacks the mind?”
“Moo!”
At that moment, from among the shadows, the largest dragon suddenly spoke, emitting a thunderous sound.
Lin Fan’s eyebrows furrowed. Under this sound, even his tape recorder jammed.
“This is the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds from the Dragon Clan—a powerful sound-based cultivation technique capable of destroying any mind-attacking treasure. It’s a secret technique passed down exclusively in the Dragon Emperor bloodline, only learned by the royal lineage.”
When the Fenghuang Clan members heard this sound, their expressions changed drastically.
But for Long Yumo, hearing this sound filled him with excitement.
“Prince Ten, save me! Save me…”
