Looking at the talents of this person named Mochida Yuki, Ye Tian felt that the White Pupil Talent could surely detect the presence of the Invisibility Talent. If he became invisible, he would undoubtedly be discovered immediately.
"It looks like I must implement the backup plan!"
Ye Tian secretly planned.
After the Emperor-level figures completed their trades, some left and some stayed for a while.
Seeing that other Emperors' trades were almost done, Ye Tian also went forward to trade, using treasures originally from Yagyu Hakaru, intended for exchanging a couple of Sakura juices.
"Yagyu Hakaru, here is your Sakura juice, already extracted. Pack it up!"
Mochida Yuki handed a small amount of Sakura juice to Ye Tian.
Ye Tian examined the Sakura juice, which was milky white and emitted a faint clear light, smelling very pleasant.
He took out a jade bottle and filled it with the Sakura juice, then left quietly, turning at a corner.
Here, he was out of sight of other Emperor-level figures. Although their spiritual senses could detect this area, it was fine as long as they didn't pay attention to it immediately.
"It begins!"
Ye Tian activated his Soul Spike Talent.
Puff!!!
A soul force transformed into a silent and invisible spike, piercing into Mochida Yuki's soul.
The next moment.
Mochida Yuki fell to the ground, dead.
At the same time, Ye Tian became invisible and threw out a fake decoy body.
"What's going on?"
The other Emperor-level figures became panicked, their spiritual senses instantly covering the entire interior of the Sakura God Tree.
Soon.
They discovered that both Mochida Yuki and Yagyu Hakaru, two Emperor-level figures, were dead without a trace of life.
"An attack!"
The chaos began.
Yagyu the Killing Sword stared at the other Emperor-level figures with great anger.
Someone dared to attack Emperor-level figures here and even killed two of them.
It didn't matter much that Yagyu Hakaru was dead, as he had no relation to him, but Mochida Yuki was a high-ranking member of his forces, his subordinate, and now someone had killed him on his own territory.
"The murderer must be one of the Emperor-level figures here!"
Yagyu the Killing Sword speculated.
"Other Emperor-levels, hurry up and trade, and leave immediately after!"
Yagyu the Killing Sword ordered.
The trading sped up.
Soon, all Emperor-level figures had completed their trades.
"Count the numbers!"
"Leave one by one!"
"All Emperor-level figures have left the interior of the Sakura God Tree!"
"The bodies of Yagyu Hakaru and Mochida Yuki have been taken away!"
"Close the wooden gate, activate the large formation, seal off the Sakura God Tree, no one is allowed near!"
"Investigate! We must investigate, the death of two Emperors is a serious matter!"
While all the Emperors left, and amid the turmoil caused by the deaths of the two Emperors, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel excited.
"Although Yagyu Hakaru's body is fake, it's made using an Emperor-level corpse, so even other Emperors would have difficulty noticing anything odd about Yagyu Hakaru's body unless someone was particularly familiar with Yagyu Hakaru or studied his body's structure in depth. But the Emperors wouldn't bother to do that; they would just glance at Yagyu Hakaru's body and conclude that both died from soul attacks," Ye Tian muttered to himself.
However,
His time was limited. What if the others suspected an invisibility talent and came back to check?
Therefore, he had to steal the Sakura juice as quickly as possible.
Upon reaching the core area inside the Sakura God Tree, he saw a tree core.
Inside the tree core was the Sakura juice, and Ye Tian could vaguely see the amount of the liquid.
"10,000 catties!"
Ye Tian roughly estimated.
To extract the Sakura juice, one must break open the tree core, which is extremely tough. Without damaging the Sakura God Tree, only a small opening can be made to slowly draw out a bit of the Sakura juice.
However, Ye Tian did not care about the life or death of the Sakura God Tree. After all, he was going to take away the Sakura juice, so it was uncertain whether the tree would survive.
Ye Tian set up a simple soundproofing array and then slashed towards the tree core.
"Slash!"
Under the Slash Talent, a single strike broke open the tree core, revealing a large amount of Sakura juice.
"Collect!"
"Collect!"
One by one, barrels were filled with Sakura juice, and then Ye Tian stored them in his personal space.
Each barrel could hold about 200 catties, and for Ye Tian, it took only a minute to extract 200 catties.
He didn't want to make too much noise, otherwise, it would alert the island nation's people outside.
After all, he was committing theft, and it would be extremely embarrassing if discovered.
Minute by minute passed.
Ye Tian filled one barrel after another, and soon he had extracted thousands of catties of Sakura juice.
Outside.
The leaves of the Sakura God Tree, which were lush green, slowly showed signs of withering, but the change was very slow. The other Emperor-level figures were distracted by the deaths of two of their own and were gathered in one place for investigation, so their attention wasn't much on the Sakura God Tree.
As for the Emperors patrolling with their spiritual senses, they were only watching for anyone breaking in or approaching the Sakura God Tree, not really paying attention to the changes in the color of the tree's leaves.
But as time passed, the changes in the Sakura God Tree became significant.
In a palace.
Yagyu the Killing Sword was using a Talent Orb to test the talents of each Emperor. This orb, capable of testing soul talents, was very rare.
But this time, two Emperors died from soul talent attacks, and if the perpetrator continued to use soul attacks to kill other Emperors, the Sakura Super Base would be in big trouble.
"I hope you understand and cooperate voluntarily, otherwise my sword might not see you in its path," Yagyu the Killing Sword said coldly.
The other Emperors were no match for Yagyu the Killing Sword and dared not defy his orders. Even though it was somewhat excessive to be forced to test their talents, two Emperors had died, and they were also scared, naturally wanting to find the murderer.
One by one, the Emperors were tested, even Yagyu the Killing Sword himself.
In the end, it was found that two Emperors had soul talents, but they proved that their soul talents were not of the attacking type and could not kill others.
"How can this be?"
Yagyu the Killing Sword was very puzzled.
Just then.
Someone reported: "Lords, there seems to be a problem with the Sakura God Tree. Many leaves have withered, and the aura of the Sakura God Tree is rapidly declining."
"What!"
Yagyu the Killing Sword and the other Emperors were shocked.
Swish, swish, swish!
Several Emperors flew into the air, focusing on the Sakura God Tree.
At this moment, the Sakura God Tree seemed to be dying.
"No good, the Sakura God Tree must have been drained of a large amount of Sakura juice. Damn it, the enemy is still inside the Sakura God Tree, that person must have the Invisibility Talent, which is why they killed Mochida Yuki!!!"
Yagyu the Killing Sword roared in anger.
Once Yagyu the Killing Sword thought of this, the other Emperors also realized it.
"Quickly activate the formation, let's enter the interior of the Sakura God Tree! The enemy has invisibility and soul attack talents, everyone be careful. As soon as we find the enemy, kill them immediately!" Yagyu the Killing Sword said gravely.
"Yes, Lord Sword Emperor Yagyu!"
The Emperors responded.
Whoosh!
The formation opened, and Yagyu the Killing Sword and others rushed into the interior of the Sakura God Tree.
At this time, they saw that the tree core was almost empty, with only a little bit of Sakura juice left.
Anger filled every Emperor!
