Qin Yun walked into a restaurant on a side street and ordered two dishes and a flask of alcohol.

As he drank, he pondered the situation.

"Fiendcelestial Quzhong either carries the treasure with him at all times or places it in some important area in his family clan." Qin Yun pondered. "But the Quzhong family manor is in the city and I have already searched through the city. It's definitely not here! It's not on him either! Then the most likely possibility… is that it is already in the hands of another fiendcelestial."

"He is a third Firmament fiendcelestial. It should not be easy for other experts to just snatch it from him."

"For the Myriad Temple to not even know of this, it means it must have been a private exchange."

Qin Yun speculated.
