Obviously, the King of Han had begun transferring items after realizing it was impossible to resist the Qin Army.

Zhao Feng cursed inwardly.

He continued deeper. A glance revealed more empty spaces. Judging from the dust on the ground, there had definitely been many chests here before.

Zhao Feng cursed under his breath as he went further in. The treasury was immense, but as far as the eye could see, it had been almost completely cleared out.

Soon, Zhao Feng reached the deepest part of the treasury. The moment he stepped inside, his eyes lit up. He also sensed a strange aura. Before him were shelves laden with Jade Articles. Some had already been taken, and others lay shattered on the ground, but a considerable number still remained.

Although these Jade Articles weren’t as liquid as Gold, any piece worthy of being in the Han Royal Palace’s treasury was significantly valuable. A quick scan revealed hundreds of them. The shattered pieces on the ground made it clear that the articles were too fragile, and the movers hadn’t had time to transport them all.

Zhao Feng didn’t immediately store these Jade Articles in his Portable Space. Instead, he spread out his spiritual power, enveloping them. Through his spiritual senses, he clearly saw that each Jade Article was shrouded in a faint aura.

With just one look, he perceived the presence of this strange aura.

Zhao Feng thought. Spreading his spiritual power, he collected all the remaining Jade Articles in the treasury.

As Zhao Feng moved through the room, all the Jade Articles on the shelves vanished into his Portable Space.

Zhao Feng smiled as he looked at the pile of Jade Articles accumulating in his Portable Space.

The treasury was already a mess from the King of Han clearing it out, so taking these Jade Articles wouldn’t leave any trace. Who would ever suspect him?

After fully extending his spiritual power, Zhao Feng detected something else. He slowly walked toward one of the empty shelves. He gave it a gentle push, but the shelf was immovable.

He immediately realized the shelf was a device hiding a secret.

Zhao Feng smirked and spread his spiritual power. In an instant, he found an odd spot—a hidden turning point on the shelf. He walked over and twisted it.

Instantly, a trembling sound filled the air.

CLICK, CLICK, CLICK!

The shelf flush against the wall suddenly swung open, revealing a hidden passageway.

Zhao Feng smiled as he looked at the path that had appeared before him.

But a moment later, he took a closer look and saw numerous footprints at the entrance to the passage. They were clear and recent. A thought suddenly struck him.

At that thought, a surge of joy rose in his heart.

Instead of rushing in, Zhao Feng called out loudly, "Mr. Wei!"

His voice carried out of the treasury. Wei Quan immediately led a group of Sharp Warriors inside. Along the way, Wei Quan wore a strange expression as he took in the completely empty treasury.

"Capital Commandant." With his men present, Wei Quan naturally paid his respects as a subordinate.

"The King of Han has already cleared out the treasury, but I found a secret passage that might lead somewhere," Zhao Feng explained, handing the two heads from his waist to Wei Quan. "You and your men guard this entrance. Take these two heads to the Merit Points Department for me. I’m going to investigate this passage."

After taking the heads, Wei Quan said with some concern, "This passage is so well-hidden. Could there be an ambush inside? Shouldn’t we report this before making a decision?"

"With my skills, you don’t need to worry, Mr. Wei," Zhao Feng replied. "Just guard this place well." Without another word, he charged directly into the secret passage.

「Inside the Secret Passage」

It wasn’t pitch-dark. Ever-burning lamps flickered on both walls. As Zhao Feng progressed, he quickened his pace, and it wasn’t long before he reached a large, empty area.

Three separate chambers came into view, each marked with the character for "Han."

"Hall of Medicinal Materials."

"Hall of Arms."

"Hall of Elixirs."

Driven by curiosity, Zhao Feng walked straight into the Hall of Medicinal Materials. The moment he stepped inside, the strong scent of herbs assailed his nostrils. A glance around the stone chamber revealed dozens of shelves, each filled with various medicinal herbs.

With his rudimentary knowledge of medicine, Zhao Feng could tell that the chamber indeed held a vast array of medicinal herbs. Though not of the highest quality, it contained many herbs that were unavailable to the common folk.

Zhao Feng didn’t hesitate. He immediately extended his spiritual power and began transferring all the medicinal herbs in the stone chamber into his Portable Space. Its nine-cubic-meter capacity was more than enough to store everything.

In just a matter of breaths, the shelves in the stone chamber were bare.

Filled with anticipation, Zhao Feng walked to the next chamber.

Upon entering, he once again saw rows of shelves, but this stone chamber was much larger than the Hall of Medicinal Materials. His eyes fell upon common Weapons of every kind: Battle Armor, Long Spears, iron swords, crossbows, and arrows.

Gazing at the various Weapons filling the chamber, Zhao Feng couldn’t help but reflect on history.

Zhao Feng’s eyes burned with eagerness as he glanced around.
