A stun grenade is a new type of weapon, an advanced version of a flashbang. Besides retaining the flashbang's ability to emit a strong light that temporarily blinds opponents, this device also emits a deafening noise that disrupts the balance in the human ear.
Especially when your enemies are staring intently at you, a stun grenade exploding before their eyes leaves them no time to react!
Before these guards could open their eyes, Ling Tian suddenly appeared in the space, holding two specially made revolvers.
These revolvers were made of engineering plastic, with six chambers in the cylinder.
Ling Tian crossed his arms and repeatedly pulled the triggers. The revolvers made a very faint sound, and they fired not ordinary bullets, but small darts, which were actually small syringes.
Almost every guard took a dart, and the liquid inside was quickly injected into their bodies. Within a second or two, they felt their bodies disobeying them. After more than ten seconds, they all lost consciousness.
These two weapons were also specially crafted by Ling Tian. The agents inside were potent anesthetics, the kind used by zoos to subdue tigers and elephants.
In fact, Ling Tian had many ways to incapacitate or even kill these people instantly, whether by using talismans or mystical arts. But Ling Tian did not do so.
He did not want to attract too much attention or reveal too many of his trump cards.
After dealing with the guards, Ling Tian, with a thought, arrived at the other side of the wall, which led to the vault itself.
Ling Tian saw the cash and gold filling the room and smiled slightly. With a flash of thought, everything in the room was swept away into his adjacent space.
Ling Tian did not have to worry about the situation being discovered by the outside world because he had dealt with the cameras the moment he entered. Moreover, the control room of the underground vault had already been dealt with by Ali, who had even removed the hard drives of the monitoring equipment connected to the vault.
After doing all this, Ling Tian took out another specially made talisman, drawn on blue paper.
He activated the talisman and placed it on the floor in the center of the vault. Then, Ling Tian moved to the wall, formed hand seals, and walked while chanting.
If anyone had seen Ling Tian at that moment, they would have been terrified, for Ling Tian was directly phasing through the wall, disappearing into the thick concrete.
Subsequently, Ling Tian's body seemed to lose its solidity and moved directly through the earth. In this manner, Ling Tian traveled underground for nearly a thousand meters before changing direction and heading towards the surface.
More than ten minutes later, Ling Tian reappeared on the ground, his body having solidified.
Ling Tian looked up and realized he was now several hundred meters away from the manor's perimeter wall.
"Haha, the Earth Evasion technique is truly marvelous!"
As it turned out, Ling Tian had just used a mystical art called the Earth Evasion technique. In Chinese history and mythology, the most famous practitioner of this art was Tu Xing Sun during the period of King Wu's campaign against Zhou.
However, this art was almost lost in China later, eventually finding its way to Japan and evolving into a skill of Japanese ninjas.
Ling Tian could feel that although the Earth Evasion technique was powerful, it had its drawbacks, the primary one being the immense consumption of true essence.
Even for someone as monstrous as Ling Tian, with incredibly powerful true essence, after using the Earth Evasion technique for over ten minutes, he had consumed nearly three-quarters of his true essence.
This consumption was terrifying for a cultivator. What was even more perilous was that if one's true essence was depleted while using the Earth Evasion technique, they could be instantly solidified within the earth, effectively being buried alive!
This was why many people, when using the Earth Evasion technique for assassination or intelligence gathering, were discovered. They attempted to escape using this technique, but before they could get far, their movements were detected, and they were ultimately drained of their true essence within the earth, leading to their live burial. This was also a significant reason why the Earth Evasion technique had almost disappeared.
Just then, a small cat, pure white with a black tail, appeared beside Ling Tian. Ling Tian scooped up Ali and put her into the spiritual realm space. A sea eagle flew high into the sky and returned directly to Ling Tian's home.
Within the spiritual realm space, Ali did not immediately revert to her human form but playfully tussled with Ling Tian for a while before reluctantly transforming. Ali saw the piles of cash and gold stacked like small mountains in a clearing within the spiritual realm space.
Ali walked over, picked up a gold bar, played with it for a moment, and then casually tossed it aside.
"What's the use of this thing? It can't be eaten or drunk. You say that by getting this thing, we can make that kid Jin Peng suffer?"
"Haha, Ali, this is money. Although money itself cannot be eaten or drunk, it can be exchanged for what you desire.
If nothing else, this one gold bar is enough for you to eat grilled meat for decades..."
Ling Tian knew that this little girl still didn't have a clear concept of money. However, Ling Tian also understood that Ali was currently developing into a foodie. Although at her current cultivation level, she could survive without eating, subsisting solely on absorbing the essence of the sun and moon daily, Ali clearly wouldn't deny herself pleasures.
"So that's how it is. That's great! Let's go steal again in a few days..."
Ling Tian's mind was instantly filled with black lines.
Meanwhile, at the Jin family's manor, chaos had erupted!
Jin Peng and Jin Tianxiang, awakened from their sleep, learned of the news. Jin Tianxiang immediately suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and was rushed to the hospital's ICU for emergency treatment.
The blow was too great for Jin Tianxiang!
He found it difficult to describe how he had endured the past two years.
Jin Tianxiang worked tirelessly every day. At over sixty years old, he slept only a few hours a day, constantly rushing around for the family business. He even humbled himself, frequently attending various business functions.
The reason Jin Tianxiang chose to do this was precisely because he intended to make one last fortune, retire, wash his hands of the business, and transfer his assets abroad to live a life of luxury with his family.
But he never expected that the foundation he had painstakingly built over more than two years, after selling off numerous businesses, would be coveted by someone else again!
Coupled with being woken up in the middle of the night, it was simply fatal for an elderly person under immense mental stress. Thus, Jin Tianxiang's cerebral blood vessel burst on the spot.
