Raising Havoc at Golden Heaven Temple II

"I really don't get it—why would they hide such a treasure here?" After Ember Yang obtained it, she saw it was a round bracelet, faintly glowing with green light.

Even Elena Dreamer didn't know why, but she quickly told Ember Yang to put it away and leave the hall amidst the chaos.

Outside, Evan Yang kept his Divine Sense on Ember Yang and Elena Dreamer. Once they left Golden Heaven Temple and returned to the inn, he vanished completely, making it impossible for anyone to find him.

"Damn it! Where'd they go? Everyone, search carefully!" Miles Mu shouted angrily. Trevor Tao also ordered below, "Everyone, search thoroughly."

As for Evan Yang, he had already changed his identity and returned to the inn. There, he met up with Ember Yang, Elena Dreamer, and the Flame Behemoth, all of them examining the green bracelet.

"What are you all up to?" Evan asked with a smile.

"Dad, you're back! Look, this is the artifact we found, but we don't know how to use it," Ember Yang said suspiciously.

"Let me see." Evan Yang eyed the green bracelet suspiciously.

The green bracelet floated above Evan's palm. As his Heaven-Cold Seed became active, he curiously infused Heaven-Cold qi and could actually see inside: a vast ocean of green elemental power, no weaker than his own Heaven-Cold qi.

Evan Yang described what he saw to Elena Dreamer and Ember Yang. After hearing it, Elena said, "So that's it. This must be the famous Coldlight Jade Bracelet. It can gather the world's energy, but it has to be kept near ordinary people—only then won't the energy quietly seep into cultivators like us."

After hearing this, Evan checked and found that the energy inside really did automatically flow into his body. The same was true for Yang Huo and Elena, though they hadn't noticed before. Once Evan explained what was inside and Elena clarified, everyone understood.

"No wonder they put this thing somewhere mortals can touch. So that's the reason," Evan said with a smile.

"You have to keep it somewhere without cultivators to make sure it doesn't dissipate. And if you want it to store power, you need to leave it with mortals," Elena explained.

"I've isolated it with Heaven-Cold qi, so for now it won't dissipate, and it'll keep absorbing energy from the surroundings," Evan said.

"Wow, Dad, you're amazing!" Yang Huo laughed.

"But it's not much use to me, since I already have Heaven-Cold qi. Which of you wants it?" Evan asked with a smile, since they'd been the ones to get it.

Yang Huo laughed, "I can resurrect, so it's not that useful for me either. Better give it to Sister Elena—she might need it in an emergency."

"You two gave me such a big gift, I really don't know how to thank you. But there are so many artifacts ahead—everyone can take their time picking," Elena said with a smile.

"By the way, about what you mentioned—I remember now. You said you came to Golden Heaven Temple to look for something. What exactly is it?" Evan asked curiously.

"One of the artifacts. You'll find out soon enough," Elena replied with a smile.

"Alright, just remember to remind us when the time comes," Evan said with a smile. Elena nodded. The thrill of stealing an artifact for the first time made Yang Huo restless, but Evan said, "Wait. Let's hold off for a few days."

When asked why, Evan explained, "Now that the artifact is missing, they're bound to search everywhere. If we go now, we'd be walking right into their trap, and that would ruin the fun."

"Oh, got it. Then let's wait," Yang Huo said.

Meanwhile, at Golden Heaven Temple, Miles Mu and Trevor Tao were shocked to learn the Coldlight Jade had disappeared from the hall. They hurried back and found it had indeed been stolen. There was a protective layer outside to keep mortals away, so only certain people could've done it.

"What's going on?" Ethan Xiao, who had been cultivating, rushed out to ask as soon as he heard an artifact was missing.

"Sect Master, someone showed up earlier. We're not sure who, but from the looks of it, they definitely stole the artifact and then vanished," Miles reported.

After hearing Miles's explanation, Ethan asked, "You mean that guy came back?"

"Yeah." Miles was pretty sure it was him, but Trevor said, "It probably wasn't the same person. The one we chased before didn't have time to steal anything."

"Then how do you explain this?" Miles insisted it was Evan who came back to steal it.

"He must've had help. We only chased one, totally forgetting he might have had accomplices," Trevor said.

Trevor hit the nail on the head. Miles, who wanted to argue, fell silent, and Ethan agreed with Trevor's analysis. He said, "Looks like someone has started targeting our artifacts. Now it's up to you two—if you can't even handle this, forget about being vice sect master. You'll embarrass Golden Heaven Temple."

Miles and Trevor said together, "Sect Master, don't worry. We'll do everything we can to track them down."

"Good. You two, come with me. The rest, keep searching for that person's whereabouts," Ethan ordered. Trevor and Miles wondered what the Sect Master wanted them to do.

Soon, they arrived inside a tower. Ethan asked, "Do you know why I brought you here?"

"No, Sect Master. Please instruct us," Miles said. Trevor, not to be outdone, echoed, "Please instruct us, Sect Master."

"Earlier, in the main hall, while talking to you, someone used Divine Sense to secretly spy on us. I don't know if they could hear us, but they watched our every move, and you didn't notice. That means their strength is above yours, and I barely detected them myself," Ethan explained.

"What?" Miles and Trevor were shocked—they never expected someone to spy on them.

"That's why I brought you here. This tower blocks Divine Sense and sound," Ethan said.

"Looks like the enemy has their eyes on us. We need to come up with a plan," Miles said, frowning.

"You needed to say that?" Trevor replied with a laugh.

"You!" Miles glared at Trevor.

"Enough. Stop arguing, you two. I need your cooperation now. If I'm right, the thief will get addicted and go after more artifacts. I've already gathered the rest into one place and will guard them in secret. You just pretend to patrol the area—no need for too many people," Ethan said.

(Irrelevant webnovel navigation message, skip translation.)

"But if that's the case, all the artifacts are together. If they're stolen, we'll lose everything," Miles said in shock.

"So little confidence? Looks like the vice sect master position is mine," Trevor said with a laugh.

"I'm just saying, what if," Miles retorted, glaring.

"Enough, you two. Don't underestimate them—they wiped out vice sect masters and experts like Fang Buyi. Be careful," Ethan warned.

Miles and Trevor nodded, then followed Ethan's instructions to station guards at the designated points. Compared to before, the defenses were much weaker—where there used to be many guards at each entrance, now there was at most one.

Evan relayed what he'd observed to Yang Huo and Elena.

When Yang Huo heard that all the artifacts had been gathered in one place, he laughed, "They're scared now."

"That actually makes it harder for us to steal them," Elena said with a frown, realizing all the artifacts were now together and heavily guarded.

"That's not the main point. The real issue is, since they've gathered everything, they should be using all their power to guard it. But compared to last time, their defenses are much weaker," Evan pointed out.

"You mean they're deliberately luring us in?" Elena asked curiously.

"Exactly," Evan replied with a grin.

"So, Dad, you're not planning to go in?" Yang Huo asked, curious at Evan's tone.

"Go in? Why not? This time I'll just steal everything at once—they won't even have time to curse us," Evan said.

"But Dad, how are you going in? What if all their experts are there?" Yang Huo asked, frowning.

"Don't worry about that. Here's the plan: Huo, you and Elena go outside Golden Heaven Temple and cause a commotion. If their top experts don't leave, it means they're dead set on guarding that spot. If they do leave, just withdraw. Meanwhile, I'll sneak in and grab some treasures," Evan explained.

"I love making trouble! Okay!" Yang Huo laughed. With Elena watching over her, Evan felt reassured—after all, Elena had once faced ten Nether Sky Realm experts alone and was no pushover, especially with the Divine Bow.

Elena had no objections, so the three discussed their plan. As for the Flame Behemoth, it would follow Yang Huo. Three days later, Evan disguised himself as a mortal, walking near the guarded tower.

The tower was ten stories tall, making it impossible to see or hear what was happening inside. Outside, a dozen guards stood watch.

All these guards were strong. Evan, meanwhile, carried logs and pretended to head to the back mountain of the tower to chop wood.

As for Yang Huo and Elena, they'd already arrived at Golden Heaven Temple. Among the seventy-two halls, Yang Huo couldn't wait and spat flames, instantly engulfing the place in a sea of fire. The weaker ones fled or hid, while the stronger ones rushed out only to be shot by Elena. Eventually, no one dared to come out, forced to watch as all the temple buildings burned.

Someone hurried off to find Miles and the others.

"Bad news!" the anxious person called out.

"What is it? Spit it out," Miles asked. Trevor stood by, watching curiously.

He said, "All seventy-two halls of Golden Heaven Temple are on fire."

"On fire? Impossible. Those buildings are fireproof, and who'd be so bored as to set them ablaze?" Miles said, confused.

"It was a woman and a young girl who started the fire," the person replied.

Miles and Trevor released their Divine Sense and saw that Golden Heaven Temple was indeed engulfed in flames, with two people arrogantly floating in the air above.

"Damn it, how dare they act so arrogant while we're away," Miles said angrily.

"Go ahead, I'll handle things here," Trevor said.

"Why aren't you going?" Miles was about to leave, but worried Trevor might catch the thief and win their rivalry if he stayed.
