【The Divine Eagle Empire】(Unabridged Volume 1, Chapter 102)

Chapter 102 That's it After

finishing the Forty-Six Forms of Overlord Fist, Dong Qianqiu stood up, his face not flushed, his breath steady, calm and composed. He then

picked up the Overlord Spear and began practicing the Overlord Spear Technique. However, after only three forms, he suddenly stopped, looking around

with a blank expression.

By this time, it was already broad daylight, and the training ground was empty except for Dong Qianqiu. At this

moment , Dong Qianqiu felt something was wrong. In the past, when he practiced in the morning, his daughter Dong Tianfeng would always arrive at the training ground before him,

and one or two of his wives would always accompany him. But today, why couldn't he see any of them?

Just as Dong Qianqiu was feeling puzzled, a thunderous voice came from outside the training ground: "Father! Something

terrible has happened! Aunt and the others have disappeared!"

With the voice, a tall figure rushed in and entered the training ground. It was none other than Dong Tiankui.

Upon hearing this, Dong Qianqiu was greatly shocked. "They're gone! How could they be gone?" he

exclaimed. Dong Tiankui, panting from his hurried run, gasped, "Not only... Auntie and the others are gone,

but my sisters are gone too!"

Dong Qianqiu was startled, his face paling. He shouted, "Explain yourself! What

happened ?"

"I don't know either," Dong Tiankui said anxiously. "This morning the servants discovered that Auntie, Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt, Fifth Aunt, and

Sixth Aunt were all missing. When I went to check, I found my two younger sisters were gone too! Father! I suspect

someone broke into our Dong Family Fort last night and kidnapped them. Maybe it's a lecherous thief!"

The answer came immediately.

A lecherous thief? Even without Dong Tiankui's explanation, Dong Qianqiu had already guessed. His face turned ashen, and

he stamped his foot angrily. "What are you standing there for? Go find them now! If you don't find them, I'll chop you up!"

he roared, brandishing his spear. *Crack!* A spear slammed into Dong Tiankui's backside, sending

him grimacing and fleeing in a panic.

Early the next morning, the entire Dongjiabao was in chaos. The female thief incident the previous night had given the Dong family a scare,

but by morning, the situation had escalated further. The servants discovered that, apart from the second wife, Ma Xiangyun, the other

six wives and two young ladies had vanished without a trace. The impregnable Dongjiabao, with its six wives and

two young ladies, gone overnight—it was utterly unbelievable and incomprehensible.

Early in the morning, Wu Tianjiao was still fast asleep when he was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door. He quickly pulled himself out from under Xiang'er and Xiu'er's

pink arms, barefoot, wearing an outer robe, and walked out of the bedroom. He opened the door to the outer room,

still sleepy-eyed, and shouted, "What are you knocking for so early in the morning! You've disturbed my sweet dreams..." Before he could finish speaking,

he stopped, only to see an old man standing outside the door. It was none other than Hu Bukai, the Wandering Dragon of the Four Seas.

Hu Bukai peeked furtively into the room, chuckling, "Little brother! It's getting late. Looks like

you slept well last night?"

"Of course! Of course! This is the first time in my life I've ever stayed in such a fine building. Master Dong

is really taking good care of me! He's arranged two such beautiful maids to serve me!"

Wu Tianjiao said with a grin, then gave Hu Bukai a strange look, saying, "Old Hu, you look

radiant and full of energy. It seems you've experienced a resurgence of vitality!"

Hu Bukai, being an old man of experience, understood the implication. He shook his head and sighed, "I'm old

, unlike you young people. I don't have that kind of energy. By the way, little brother! Didn't you hear

the burglary ?"

"What? A thief?"

Wu Tianjiao's eyes widened as he exclaimed, "A thief last night? You must be joking, old man! Dongjiabao is

an impregnable fortress, heavily guarded. How could there be a thief? Hehe! Old Hu, this Purple Qi Comes from the East building is truly magnificent, constructed entirely of

Da Luo stone. I'm staying in my room, so I can't hear a thing outside! Ah! Don't just stand outside,

it windy out there. Come in and sit down, don't be shy!"

Hu Bukai, without any hesitation, entered the room, looked around, nodded, and sincerely exclaimed,

"Young brother! Lord Dongjiabao truly treats you like an honored guest. I've been to Dongjiabao so many times, and he's never

arranged me to stay in such a luxurious building. Lord Dongjiabao really thinks highly of you!"

"That's right! That's right!"

Wu Tianjiao couldn't deny it, smiling as he said, "When I checked in last night,

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this place. I was overwhelmed with gratitude! Please sit down, sir, don't be so polite!"

This kid, after staying at Ziqi Donglai Tower for one night, really acted like it was his own home, actually telling Hu Bukai not to be polite—

how unreasonable! Hu Bukai didn't mind at all, chuckling, "No need to sit. I've come here

to see if you're comfortable!"

Saying that, he wandered around the room, and after a while, he went into the bedroom.

Instantly, a gasp rang out from the bedroom. Hu Bukai hurriedly retreated, his old face flushed,

giving Wu Tianjiao a strange look, his expression extremely embarrassed.

Wu Tianjiao chuckled inwardly, "You old codger, your visit is just a pretense, your real purpose is to inquire."

Thinking this, he cheerfully said, "Old Hu, what do you think of the maids Lord Dong arranged for me? They

served me so well last night, it was heavenly! If you think they're good, why not let them

serve ?"

"No, no, no… I won't use them! Let them serve you!"

Hu Bukai said as he retreated to the doorway, saying, "Young brother! Something big happened in the fort last night.

Lord Dong's six wives and two young ladies have disappeared!"

"What? Disappeared!"

Wu Tianjiao exclaimed in surprise, eagerly asking, "How could they disappear? Weren't they fine at the banquet last night

?"

He feigned surprise perfectly, acting as if he

knew nothing .

"They disappeared after the banquet. Lord Dong is mobilizing all his men to search the entire fort for

their "

Hu Bukai said.

"Then... I'll go with you and see if we can help!"

Wu Tianjiao said, rushing into the bedroom. He quickly changed his clothes, washed up hastily, and followed Hu Bukai

out of the Purple Qi East Tower to the Tiger Might Hall.

Inside the Tiger Might Hall, Dong Qianqiu paced anxiously back and forth, like an ant on a hot pan, his heart burning with worry. Xiao Ergong...

Zi Xiao Guoliang sat calmly to the side, sipping fragrant tea, appearing quite composed. Beside him stood an elderly man in black, none other than

Old Han.

Seeing Wu Tianjiao and Hu Bukai arrive, Dong Qianqiu greeted them, saying, "Third Young Master Wu,

something I'm truly sorry to have disturbed your rest!"

"Fortress Master, what are you saying? What time is it now? How can you say you've disturbed me! I heard from Old Hu that your

wives and daughters have gone missing. What happened?"

Wu Tianjiao asked.

Dong Qianqiu smiled wryly, "The matter is very strange. I don't know what happened either. Not only have my six

wives and two daughters disappeared, but even Madam Meng and Miss Meng have gone missing."

"They've disappeared too!"

Hu Bukai frowned deeply, saying, "This is truly bizarre!"

"Found them! Found them! Father! Mother and the others have been found..." A joyful voice came from outside the door.

A man rushed into the hall, extremely excited—it was Dong Tianbiao.

Upon hearing this, Dong Qianqiu was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Where are they?"

"In the storeroom!"

Dong Tianbiao replied, then frowned and said, "But... Fifth Sister and Little Sister are nowhere to be found, and Sixth Sister and

Seventh Sister are also missing!"

"The storeroom! How could they be in the storeroom?"

Dong Qianqiu exclaimed in surprise, quickly leaving the main hall and heading straight for the inner fortress. Dong Tianbiao, seeing this, didn't even greet Hu Bukai and the others,

and followed his father.

After the Dong family father and son left, only Xiao Guoliang, Old Han, Hu Bukai, and Wu Tianjiao remained in the Tiger Might Hall. Wu

Tianjiao sat down at the tea table opposite Xiao Guoliang, looked at Old Han with interest, and said with a smile, "

Second Young Master Xiao, who is this elder? Isn't it tiring to stand like this? Aren't there seats next to you? Why don't you sit down?"

This was truly outrageous. Whether someone wanted to stand or not was none of his business. He was just meddling in other people's business.

Xiao Guoliang almost cursed when he heard this. He knew that the rules in the aristocratic class were extremely strict. Although Elder Han was

a Heavenly Martial Artist, he was just a subordinate of the Xiao family. In front of the master, what place did a subordinate have? If a subordinate

sat down , it would be a great disrespect to the master. Wu Tianjiao was a nobleman after all. Didn't he understand these rules?

Xiao Guoliang felt a surge of anger, but then a sense of relief washed over him. He thought, "That's it! This guy is just a bastard from the Wu family,

powerless and without any subordinates. He's just jealous of me and deliberately trying to insult me!"

He sighed and said, "Third Young Master Wu, you're truly pitiful. Prince Wu doesn't value you at

all , not even giving you a guard. Heh! I heard some

rumors about your Wu family in the capital, about you, Third Young Master Wu. I wonder if you know anything about them?" "What rumors?"

Wu Tianjiao's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. He thought to himself, "Could he be referring to the Baili family's annulment of the engagement?" He

said, "I've been studying with my master for three years and know nothing about what's happening in the capital. I wonder what Second Young Master Xiao heard

? Could you tell me?"

"So Young Master Wu knows nothing about his family affairs!"

Xiao Guoliang was greatly surprised, shook his head and sighed, "No wonder you can sit here so calmly!"

Wu Tianjiao raised an eyebrow and snorted, "Young Master Xiao, just say what you want to say, no need to

beat around the bush or put on airs. If you don't want to say anything, then shut up now and don't say anything at all!"

Xiao Guoliang was stunned for a moment because he didn't expect him to react this way and not care at all. Hu Bukai secretly

gave Wu Tianjiao a thumbs-up, thinking, "As expected of the son of the Martial Emperor, his heart is as still as water, calm and unperturbed,

unhurried and unperturbed, completely unmoved by the other party's influence. This Third Young Master Wu's composure is truly remarkable!"

Xiao Guoliang had expected Wu Tianjiao to be anxious and keep pressing for answers, but to his surprise, he wasn't in a hurry at all. A thought struck him

: "Could it be that he knows what happened to the Wu family? But it doesn't seem like it!"

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and said, "Since the Third Young Master Wu isn't interested in hearing about it, then I won't say anything.

However, I would like to remind the Third Young Master Wu that the capital is fraught with danger. If you return to the capital, you must be very careful,

lest you lose your head without even knowing why!"

Wu Tianjiao felt a chill run down his spine, pondering, "The person in the capital who most wants me dead is Wu Tianhu. Could he be talking about

Wu Tianhu ?"

Recalling that freezing morning when he was thrown onto the snow by the three Wu siblings while still asleep, nearly freezing to death,

anger surged within him. He sneered, "Thank you for the reminder, Second Young Master Xiao. I, Wu Tianjiao, am still young and strong-willed;

my head won't fall off so easily. It's Second Young Master Xiao who is pale, with lifeless eyes and a dark aura—

a very ominous sign, a sign of impending doom. Beware of bloodshed!"

This was utter nonsense. Second Young Master Xiao had a ruddy complexion, bright eyes, and an imposing air about him;

he was nothing like the murderous, alarmist words Wu Tianjiao spoke of.

"Outrageous!"

Xiao Guoliang roared in fury, bang! He slammed his right hand on the coffee table and stood up abruptly, glaring at Wu Tianjiao.

He shouted, "How dare you curse me!"

"I wouldn't dare! I was just trying to be helpful. If Young Master Xiao doesn't believe me, then just pretend I didn't say anything!"

Wu Tianjiao said coldly, his face showing no fear, his words sharp and unyielding, showing no weakness and responding sharply.

"Stop arguing! Stop arguing!"

Seeing the situation getting out of hand, Hu Bukai quickly stepped between the two, acting as a peacemaker. He smiled and said, "Both of you are

young talents of the empire, noble scions, and from powerful families. Why engage in such verbal sparring and

risk violence? It would be beneath your dignity. This is Dongjiabao, not the street. Both of you should refrain from saying a word and take a step back!"

Despite Hu Bukai's smiling and seemingly irrelevant words, they were very effective. In particular, the remark that

this was Dongjiabao, not the street, reminded Xiao Guoliang. He suppressed his anger, slowly sat down, and snorted

, thinking to himself, "Kid! I'll tolerate you for now. Once you leave Dongjiabao, I'll see how I deal with you.

You're just a son of a concubine in the Wu family, insignificant. Even if I kill you, the Wu family won't pursue it!"

The hall fell silent for a moment. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was incredibly heavy. After a while,

Xiao Guoliang couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up and said to Old Han, "Let's go for a walk."

Hu Bukai quickly stood up to stop him, smiling, "Second Young Master Xiao! It's best if you don't go out. If you can't

sit still , you can stand for a while and wait for Lord Dong to arrive before going out."

Xiao Guoliang was taken aback and asked, puzzled, "Why is that?"

Hu Bukai untied the gourd from his waist, uncorked it, took a sip, and exhaled a strong smell of alcohol.

He , "Well… Young Master Xiao is a smart man, he should understand. Besides the missing Meng family mother and daughter,

there are only the four of us here in the fortress. Last night there was a thief, and the Dong family's lady and young lady suddenly disappeared. You tell me…"

Xiao Guoliang suddenly realized, his brow furrowing. He said unhappily, "Does Fortress Master Dong suspect us?"

"Whether he suspects us or not, we should all know our place. Fortress Master Dong called us all together;

don't you understand what that means?"

Hu Bukai

said. Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall understood. Xiao Guoliang had no choice but to sit back down. After a while, footsteps

sounded Everyone's eyes turned to the door, where the Dong family father and his two sons walked

in, their faces ashen, as black as the bottom of a pot.

In the main hall, everyone except Wu Tianjiao felt a chill run down their spines. Hu Bukai quickly stood up and asked, "

Brother Dong! Are your wives alright?"

Dong Qianqiu shook his head, sat down in the main seat, his brow furrowed, and said grimly,

"We found the First Madam, Third Madam, Fourth Madam, and Feng'er, but we

can't . The Meng family mother and daughter are also missing. These thieves are truly ruthless!

All the gold in our Dong family's treasury and the century-old immortal dragon in the cellar have been stolen!"

Ah! Hu Bukai, Old Han, and Xiao Guoliang were shocked and deeply astonished. Wu Tianjiao

exclaimed , "Stolen everything? The walls of Dong Family Fortress are so high, how did the thieves get in?"

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Dong family father and son became even more grim. The muscles on Dong Qianqiu's face twitched

and throbbed, his eyes filled with an indescribable fright. Dong Tiankui's eyes flashed with a fierce light, his teeth clenched, and he unconsciously activated

his Iron Wall Divine Skill. His robes billowed without wind, and his joints cracked like popcorn. He said viciously, "If

I find out who that thief is, I'll tear him to pieces! Stealing gold and wine is one thing, but to steal

a woman from my Dong family is outrageous!"

"Alright! Stop talking!"

Dong Qianqiu said grimly, shaking his head and letting out a long sigh. In an instant, his expression became extremely

dejected and listless, as if he had aged considerably. He said sadly, "The thief is incredibly powerful and extraordinary. He

has shown mercy. As long as we have the gold and the Hundred-Year Immortal Dragon Wine, and he didn't kidnap all the women of my Dong family, it would be too rude

of us not to admit defeat. Let's not mention this matter again, let's pretend it never happened!"

Dong Tianbiao was shocked and cried out, "What about Little Sister and Fifth Sister..." Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly met the chilling light in

Dong Qianqiu's eyes and shivered. He couldn't finish his sentence.

Wu Tianjiao was greatly surprised. He didn't expect Dong Qianqiu to suffer such a great loss and just swallow his anger and let it go.

It seemed that leaving the three ladies of the Dong family and Dong Tianfeng in the storeroom was a wise move.

Wu Tianjiao had no idea what Dong Qianqiu was thinking. He was terrified, his mind filled with many concerns. The thieves

had managed to infiltrate Dong Family Fortress undetected, stealing gold and Immortal Dragon Wine, and abducting so many women. In

Wu's mind, only a sorcerer could have accomplished such a feat. Sorcerers were evil and inhumane, and Wu feared that reporting this to the authorities

would anger the sorcerer and lead to retaliation against the Dong family. Therefore, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

Furthermore, he didn't hold much hope for the authorities. The Dong family was large and powerful; losing a batch of gold and a batch of

century-old Immortal Dragon Wine wouldn't cripple them. Although losing the century-old Immortal Dragon Wine was painful,

there were still large quantities of aged Immortal Dragon Wine stored for decades in other cellars. The gold in the warehouse could be earned

back , and he had plenty of women. Losing one daughter wasn't a big deal; his eldest daughter was still alive, and it wouldn't hinder the marriage alliance with the Xiao family.

The loss of the Meng mother and daughter was even better, eliminating a major problem. Thinking this way, he felt much more at ease and even seemed somewhat grateful to

the thieves.
