Best Young Master
Chapter 1570 - 1441: Sneak Attack and a Huge Haul!
After a round of discussion, Ye Fan, Han Sandong, and Ling Ziyuan crafted a heist plan.
For a successful heist, Ye Fan utilized some of the array patterns left by Bai Yan wolf, and simply set up a formation at the cave entrance using an array platform carved from Xuanyu. The formation took shape, and the jade platforms all vanished, hidden in the void, undetectable unless closely sensed.
"I say, can this formation really work? Let’s not let them find out!" Han Sandong asked, looking doubtfully at the array patterns laid down by Ye Fan.
He was quite apprehensive of the combat power of Liang Boyao and You Yunxiao. Though Ye Fan could handle You Yunxiao without issue and could also manage Liang Boyao, if they were alerted, it would be nearly impossible to catch them off guard.
"Don’t worry, this array pattern was left by Bai Yan wolf, and it’s enough to trap Lord Level strong people, let alone them!"
Ye Fan smiled, "This isn’t a killing array nor grand in scale, but it can briefly plunge them into an illusion realm, causing temporary distraction. Our chance to strike is during that moment and knock them out!"
"That’s good, my Black Gold Stick has been itching for action!"
Han Sandong’s hand flashed, revealing a Black Gold Qimei Staff, with black light shimmering on it.
Ye Fan knew this was Han Sandong’s life-bound spiritual treasure, truly forged from Outer Heaven Black Gold, and capable of growing stronger with the cultivator.
This means if Han Sandong could achieve Saint Lord Level cultivation, this Qimei Staff would become a Holy Weapon!
"Boom, boom..."
Soon after, a series of loud noises came from the Dong Mansion, along with smoke and clouds billowing out. Liang Boyao and You Yunxiao created quite a stir inside.
If the fake Immortal Mansion hadn’t distracted everyone, this commotion would have been noticed long ago.
Ye Fan couldn’t help but admire Liang Boyao’s tactics; it was truly amazing how they utilized nearly everyone, benefiting him and You Yunxiao.
Ye Fan thought, if it weren’t for the unknown dangers inside, he might have acted alone, not even taking You Yunxiao along, because adding a person meant sharing treasures, and who wouldn’t want to swallow Immortal Treasures alone?
Ye Fan and the others patiently waited near the cave entrance, not entering further, quietly waiting for Liang Boyao and You Yunxiao to come out.
In the following four hours, various noises constantly emerged from the Dong Mansion, and the commotion grew larger and larger, with the flowing primordial energy from the Heaven and Earth becoming like a torrent.
"Hope they can get a lot, lots of Immortal Treasures," Han Sandong said rather unkindly, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
"I’m looking forward to it too!"
Ye Fan and Han Sandong clapped their hands in celebration, then exchanged a look and laughed.
Purple Smoke Saintess was completely speechless; she felt that she would be led astray sooner or later by following these two. Ye Fan and Han Sandong were both troublemakers, and it seemed they were preparing for a hard hit on Liang Boyao and You Yunxiao!
"Wait a minute..."
Ye Fan and Han Sandong huddled together, whispered, and planned carefully about how to strike, the timing and more.
"They’ve come out!"
Elder Xuan’s perception was terrifying and could detect their movements and positions in advance, allowing Ye Fan and the others to have an innate advantage.
"Everyone, get ready, and don’t go easy. These two are quite exceptional, they might have protective items for their divine soul, hit with full force!"
Once Ye Fan organized everything, the three of them hid in the void, concealing their aura to the utmost and without worrying about being detected.
"The harvest this time was pretty good, but unfortunately, we couldn’t get the last treasure in our hands; otherwise, the rewards would have been even greater!" That was Liang Boyao’s voice.
"The haul is already considerable. It’s all thanks to you this time. Once we return, I’ll speak with the Clan Leader to swear brotherhood under different surnames!" You Yunxiao seemed in good spirits. Although the operation drained a lot of divine power, the gains were immense.
"Buzz!"
Just as the two stepped into the trap set up by Ye Fan, he decisively activated the array patterns. Various glows flickered, and both were instantly plunged into the illusion realm.
"Bang!"
Han Sandong struck decisively, smashing his Black Gold Stick fiercely onto the back of Liang Boyao’s head, almost cracking it open.
Liang Boyao groaned, softened his body, and fell to the ground.
Ling Ziyuan swung her horsetail whisk, striking You Yunxiao’s face, almost knocking him off his feet!
"Oh no!"
You Yunxiao just uttered two words when a black brick rapidly enlarged in his view, and then, with a bang, it smashed onto his face.
"Which bastard..."
You Yunxiao rolled his eyes, cursed, and was struck with a nosebleed; golden stars flashed before his eyes, making him unable to see anything.
"Bang!"
Han Sandong followed up with another blow to the back of the head, and even with You Yunxiao’s monstrous level capacity, he couldn’t withstand the successive attacks—and they were sneak attacks, involving smashing bricks and ambushing hits—not something he could cope with.
"I hate it..."
You Yunxiao grumbled unwillingly, then could no longer hold on, rolling his eyes before collapsing unsteadily to the ground.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
Han Sandong gave them each a few more strikes, causing them to grimace and tremble even in their unconscious state, blood splattering everywhere.
Ye Fan was even more merciless. After all, he had already established enmity with them, so he used the Ancient Shield Fragments like a brick, crazily slapping, making Ling Ziyuan’s heart leap with fright, her mouth gaping wide enough to fit an egg.
"I say, that’s enough. If you keep beating them like this, don’t actually beat them to death!"
Ling Ziyuan felt the pain just looking at them, let alone these two unlucky fellows.
"No way, who knows if they have some Secret Treasure specifically protecting their Divine Soul? If they wake up while we’re plundering, it’ll be a hassle!"
Han Sandong also knew they couldn’t just kill the two outright, because disciples like Liang Boyao and You Yunxiao, of the demon level, were closely watched by the Imperial Academy, and wouldn’t be left to just perish.
Finally, Ye Fan and the others together sealed their Divine Souls, preventing the unfortunate duo from waking up too quickly.
"Clatter!"
Ye Fan was the first to act, stripping the Space Spiritual Treasure from Liang Boyao’s body, then directly emptying it to see what treasures were inside!
"This is..."
Han Sandong excitedly grabbed a purple gourd, saying, "Could this be the Zi Tian Gourd? I didn’t expect him to have such a treasure on him, even the Saint Lord would be tempted!"
"Let me see!"
Ling Ziyuan, intrigued, took the gourd from Han Sandong, examined it for a long time, then injected Divine Power to probe it, disappointedly shaking her head, "This isn’t the legendary Zi Tian Gourd, but an imitation. Still, it’s not bad, keep it!"
While still pillaging Liang Boyao, Han Sandong also thoroughly searched You Yunxiao, doing so much more expertly than Ye Fan, pulling out many hidden treasures, leaving not even a hair for You Yunxiao.
This time, they absolutely hit the jackpot, both had considerable collections, along with some treasures from the Dong Mansion, enough for the three of them to divide.
"Strip their clothes and burn them, leave nothing behind!" Han Sandong’s suggestion made Ye Fan and Ling Ziyuan gape in astonishment.
"If you want to strip them, do it yourself, I’m going to avoid this!"
Ling Ziyuan’s face went red with embarrassment, this kind of thing was too much for a girl to handle.
"Bro, you truly are the offspring of a fierce bandit, coming up with such a wicked trick, you’re... a model for our generation!" Ye Fan laughed heartily, this trick was wicked enough, would surely infuriate You Yunxiao and Liang Boyao.
Time to act!
After Ling Ziyuan stepped aside, Ye Fan and Han Sandong together stripped Liang Boyao and You Yunxiao bare.
At that moment, Ye Fan suddenly noticed a Divine Light flashing at the location of Liang Boyao’s Dan Tian Qi.
"Is there another treasure? Let me check!"
Han Sandong also saw this, quickly came over, reached into his Dan Tian, and with a clatter, pulled out a uniquely crafted book, its cover emblazoned with three bright words that made them squint.
"Dragon Seeking Formulas?"
Ye Fan was the first to adapt, looking at the three golden words like little suns on the book cover, exclaiming in surprise!
This was a priceless Immortal Treasure, the Earth Master’s lifeline for Dragon Seeking Formation, locating spirit stone mines and underground dragon veins was all thanks to it, didn’t expect Liang Boyao had it on him, they truly struck gold. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
"Brother Ye Fan, you keep this book, I will rely on robbing others of their spirit stones to get by in the future, don’t need it!" Han Sandong casually tossed the invaluable Immortal book to Ye Fan.
"This..."
Ye Fan accepted the book, feeling very excited, he needed a lot of spirit stones for cultivation, more than any normal Sect could afford, with this Dragon Seeking Formulas, he wouldn’t have to worry about spirit stones anymore, it was like receiving coal during a snowstorm!
"Here’s the deal, I only want this book, you two can split the rest of their treasures, I’ve already gotten the biggest advantage!"
Ye Fan handed over all the treasures originally his share to Han Sandong and Ling Ziyuan for them to divide.
"Brother Ye Fan, I’ve got an idea, what do you think?"
Han Sandong huddled up with Ye Fan and Ling Ziyuan, whispered his plan, leaving Ye Fan and Ling Ziyuan dumbfounded, then remarked together, "You’re so wicked!"
"What’s the matter with calling it that?"
Han Sandong laughed, "I call it a gentleman aiding their happiness, they’re inseparable, even doing bad things together, why not let them truly ’be together’, breaking through this awkward barrier, wouldn’t that be wonderful?"
