The sound echoed throughout the interior of the hill, and suddenly a large number of black-clothed men came pouring out. They rushed to the location where the magic box was placed, only to find it empty.
This matter quickly reached the ears of the highest authority in charge here, and a command was issued to capture the thief at all costs, ensuring that the magic box suffered no mishap.
Ye Qiu had not yet escaped from the interior of the hill when the stone doors were shut, strictly forbidding anyone to leave. At this point, not even a fly could enter or exit the place.
The black-clothed men searched everywhere for traces of Ye Qiu. After all, the place had been sealed for only a short time, and it would have been impossible for the thief to leave.
In fact, Ye Qiu had indeed not managed to leave the area in the first place. To avoid detection, he had chosen to cling to the rock wall above a narrow passage, just like a gecko.
