"Yes." Xue Qingqing nodded.
Not long later, someone came to inform Ye Xuan that he could go to the Ye Family treasury to choose items.
Immediately, Ye Xuan headed towards the treasury, he reckoned that this time, at least half of the Ye Family's treasury would be emptied by him.
When Ye Xuan arrived at the Ye Family's treasury, a figure had already come from afar to welcome him. At the same time, he said with a smile, "Young Master, your subordinate has already been waiting here for a long time."
When Ye Xuan came to the treasury to retrieve the blood ginseng, he had once been ridiculed by a treasury manager. And the person who welcomed Ye Xuan now, was that exactly the Treasury manager from that day?
"Oh? It's you? " Ye Xuan would naturally not forget about this treasure vault.
Ye Xuan had remembered him. When Ye Zhang sent his men over, he thought he had heard wrongly and was preparing to leave the Ye Family.
"Young Master Xuan, I also followed the Patriarch's orders that day, please forgive me." If Ye Xuan really wanted to find trouble with him, he could only bite the bullet and endure.
"Forget it, I, Ye Xuan, am not so stingy. I will deduct half a year of your wages."
Ye Xuan casually said.
If he truly wanted to be suspicious, then he would definitely stab that manager to death. However, that would only lead to gossip, so he felt that letting go of that manager would be a bit more magnanimous.
"Yes, yes, yes, many thanks to Xuan for not thinking too much about this lowly one." The manager's heart sank. Isn't it just half a year's worth of wages? It's still better than dying, right?
Ye Xuan was too lazy to care about him, he just directly walked into the treasury and picked a bunch of things.
There were a lot of good things stored in the Ye Family's treasury, at least 30 million silver taels. However, inside the treasury, there was only a wooden board recording names and instructions to prevent thieves from sneaking into the treasury to steal everything.
After entering the treasury, Ye Xuan took everything he had without restraint. As long as he chose anything valuable, he would be out in less than ten minutes.
9 million silver was just right!
Chapter 22 - East Wind Only
"Hello, Young Master Xuan."
The manager of the treasury wiped off his cold sweat and finally sent Ye Xuan away.
After Ye Xuan left the treasury, he returned back to his own residence. Not long after, an expert from the Ye Family brought in a few large boxes, and all of the items in these boxes were what Ye Xuan had chosen before.
"Something worth nine million silver, tsk tsk tsk, should be enough to allow me to break through to the sixth level of Martial Dao." Ye Xuan thought as he carried the chest into his own room.
Nine million silver was enough to make an ordinary person into a at the peak of the sixth stage of Martial Dao.
Now, Ye Xuan finally understood why upgrading the Devouring System would cost so much money.
This was because most Warrior s needed a lot of time to cultivate and Ye Xuan had used silver to make up for the time they had lost.
Others who spent nine million silver could break through to the sixth or even seventh stage of the Martial Dao, but Ye Xuan, who was only at the peak of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao, was only able to break through to the sixth stage of the Martial Dao.
When Ye Xuan devoured the nine million silver worth of Treasures and the divine weapon, he had indeed broken through to the early sixth stage of the Martial Dao.
"Sure enough, the breakthrough has been great. Not only has my physique increased, even my spiritual energy has also doubled. If I were to fight against Chen Feng now, I'd probably be able to kill him with a single punch." Ye Xuan was very confident. At this time, he really wanted to find a Warrior at the sixth stage of the Martial Dao to teach him a lesson.
However, he had something more important to do.
"Chen Song, if you dare touch my Liu'er, if you don't take revenge, I'm not called Ye Xuan!"
Thinking about Liu'er who was still unconscious, Ye Xuan felt a burst of anger in his heart. Immediately, he switched to a level 5 martial art from the Devouring System, Wind Chasing Arrow Technique.
In addition, there was also a heavy bow made from a medium-grade mortal weapon.
He could only fill this bow up with spiritual power and condense it into an arrow to shoot down enemies that were over a hundred meters away.
The reason why Ye Xuan changed these two things was obviously for Chen Song. That's right, he wanted to kill Chen Song with his own hands!
In order to exchange for these two things, Ye Xuan spent two points on engulfing.
He received 9 points in total, so he still had 7 points left. Following that, he spent 5 more points to exchange for 5 square meters of Devouring Space. If there was anything in the future, it could be directly sent to Devouring Space which was very convenient.
Everything was ready, but Ye Xuan still had one more question.
"I've never touched a bow before, and unlucky ghost doesn't know how to use a bow. Let's go practice first, then talk." Ye Xuan thought to himself as he prepared to go out.
However, just as he left the house, he saw Xue Qingqing walking out from Liu'er's room.
"Ye Xuan, come over quickly. Liu'er has woken up." Xue Qing shouted to Ye Xuan.
What?
Hearing that, Ye Xuan also anxiously walked over, he walked into the house and saw Liu'er who was leaning on the bed.
"Liu'er, how are you feeling?" Ye Xuan hurried over to check, and discovered that Liu'er was just a little weak, after all, she had been unconscious for a few days.
"Young Master, you're back …"
Liu'er said weakly, but after feeling her body, she pulled her blanket tighter and said, "It's a little cold."
"Young Master, I'll go get you more blankets." Ye Xuan did not think too much about it.
He got someone to bring him an extra blanket and some porridge. Then, he went straight to the small forest behind the Ye family's house.
Not many people came to this small forest, so it was good to use it for archery practice.
Ye Xuan came to the small forest, found a location, and took out the middle grade Common Equipment, Profound Iron Bow from the Devouring Space.
"This bow weighs over a hundred kilograms. If it is drawn to the full moon, it can easily be shot over a hundred meters away."
Ye Xuan held the black iron bow in his left hand, and then slowly pulled the string. This black iron bow was indeed a middle ranked weapon, if he wanted to pull the bow full, he would need at least six hundred kilograms of strength.
Right now, Ye Xuan was at the sixth stage of the Martial Dao, so six hundred kilograms of strength wasn't his limit.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, the profound steel bow was bent into an oval shape by Ye Xuan. At the same time, spirit energy also gushed out of Ye Xuan's right palm before condensing into the shape of an arrow.
"Buzz!"
When Ye Xuan loosened his right hand, spirit power arrows shot out instantly, causing the wind to howl.
"Bam!"
"Bam!"
"Bam!"
"Bam!"
All the trees that had blocked the way had been penetrated by the spiritual power arrows, which clearly showed the power of the arrows.
"He pierced through a total of six trees. As expected of a medium-grade weapon, its amplification is even greater than an low-grade weapon." Ye Xuan was very satisfied, it seemed like his attack power was enough.
A low rank mortal weapon only required a hundred thousand taels of silver to buy. If it was a bow and arrow that were cheaper, then none of the mid rank spirit weapons were lower than one million taels of silver. Even this xuan iron bow would cost a million taels of silver.
A weapon was extremely important to a Warrior, because if the weapon was weaker than the enemy, then during the battle, his own weapon would probably be
destroyed by the enemy, which would be extremely dangerous.
Furthermore, weapons that reached the Common Tier would be able to boost Spiritual Energy. In addition to martial arts, the power would be extremely astonishing.
In these few days, Ye Xuan was also preparing to stay in the Ye Family and not go out. He was planning to master the Wind Chasing Arrow Technique and use it to kill Chen Song.
Originally, a Mystical Iron Bow could be pulled out to a distance of a hundred meters. If it were used for Wind Chasing Arrow Technique, it might have exceeded a hundred and fifty meters. Moreover, the Wind Chasing Arrow Technique's penetrative power and speed were both higher than normal spiritual energy arrows.
While Ye Xuan was practicing with the bow and arrow, news of him returning to Lianyun City also quickly spread. The Chen family had naturally received the news as well, however, as Ye Xuan had not stepped out of his house for the past few days, the Chen family was unable to find him.
As time passed, the atmosphere in Cloud City was also very strange.
Ye Xuan had stripped Chen Song of his clothes and threw him on the streets, allowing the Ye and Chen Families to form a feud. The citizens were well aware of the Chen Family's habits, and would definitely not give up.
However, on the third night after Ye Xuan returned to Lianyun City, a black figure suddenly came out from the Ye Family household.
This man was Ye Xuan.
In these three days, Ye Xuan was in the small forest behind the Ye Family household practicing his archery. Although he only had three days, as a sixth stage Martial Dao Warrior, it wasn't difficult for him to practice a fifth grade martial art.
Three days later, Ye Xuan was already able to shoot a wild rabbit a hundred meters away with his spirit energy arrow.
Although Chen Song was at the middle of the fourth stage of the Martial Dao, it would still be too late for Chen Song to react if he were to use the Wind Chasing Arrow Technique.
Now that everything was ready, only the east wind remained.
Dong Feng was waiting for Chen Song to go out!
Ye Xuan who was dressed in black quietly left the Ye Family household and spent a lot of effort to get to the Chen Family's gate. Before this, Ye Xuan had already received a report saying that Chen Song would be going out tonight.
Chapter 23 - Assassination
Ye Xuan lied on top of a roof and hid under the night sky, only exposing his two eyes.
He calculated the time, Chen Song should be out soon, and as expected, not long later, Chen Song, who was stripped naked by him that day and thrown onto the street, came out.
"What a thick skin. He's already run naked once, and he still has the nerve to come out." On the rooftop, Ye Xuan thought, but didn't they just happen to bump into his gun?
At this time, Chen Song had just left the Chen family compound, at the same time he was followed by two guards from the Chen family, their strengths seemed to be at around the fourth stage of the Martial Dao.
Ye Xuan was not stupid enough to shoot Chen Song outside the Chen family mansion. If all the experts from the Chen family were to attack, then he would not have enough time to escape.
Therefore, Chen Song could still live for a bit longer.
Under the escort of two guards, Chen Song gradually distanced himself from the Chen family.
On the other side, Ye Xuan was also continuously following them from the rooftop. This was the first time he pretended to be dressed in black, but no one on the street was able to find him.
At this time, Chen Song had already left the Chen family household ten minutes ago, and Ye Xuan, who was following him from the rooftop, had a serious expression.
"Alright, Chen Song, you hit Liu'er, causing Liu'er to be unconscious for many days. Today, is the day you die!"
As Ye Xuan spoke in his heart, he suddenly took out his profound steel bow from the Devouring Space. Currently, he was only sixty to seventy meters away from Chen Song.
He pulled the Black Iron Bow to its limit and condensed a Wind Chasing Arrow. After adjusting his breathing, his right hand suddenly let go.
"Buzz!"
The Wind Chasing Arrow condensed from Spiritual Energy instantly shot out and crossed dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.
"F * ck, you bunch of trash, what are you looking at? Scram!"
On the main street, Chen Song could not stand the gazes of the surrounding people and directly shouted out loud.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill on the back of his head, and then his entire body fell forward uncontrollably.
"Plop!"
Chen Song's forehead smashed into the floor, causing blood to spurt out like a fountain and he died instantly.
"S-Young Master …"
The two guards were stunned. Their Young Master actually died right in front of their eyes.
Immediately, they went up to check on Chen Song, only to realize that they were no longer breathing, as someone's attack had pierced through their brain, instantly killing them.
"Quick, go back and notify the Patriarch!"
After Chen Song died, Ye Xuan immediately kept the Profound Iron Bow inside the Devouring Space, then quickly jumped down from the roof and escaped into the darkness.
His strength was only known to the Ye Family and Xue Qingqing, so as long as he didn't take out the Xuan Iron Bow, no one would suspect him.
However, the Chen family would definitely guess that it was the Ye family.
But there was no evidence, was there?
Or could it be that a third party had deliberately shot Chen Song to cause a dispute between the two sides?
"For you to dare to touch my people and let you live for so long, you are truly benevolent."
Ye Xuan, who was returning to the Ye Family residence, thought to himself, if he had the ability, he would have made his move three days ago.
Although Ye Xuan wasn't a person who liked to cause trouble, he had a vengeful personality. Whoever dared to provoke him would end up with a miserable ending.
Very quickly, Ye Xuan had rushed back to the Ye Family residence. He went directly to the forest behind the Ye Family household and then put away the black clothed person from the Devouring Space. Only then did he go back to his own residence.
Although this place was the Ye Family's home, he was afraid that the Ye Family might have some of their own spies in the Chen Family. As for the arrow holes in the forest, Ye Xuan had intentionally camouflaged them before.
What he practiced in the forest was not archery, but swordsmanship!
"Hey, Young Master, you're back." After Ye Xuan returned to the courtyard, Liu'er also jumped up to welcome him and helped him wipe away his sweat.
"En, Liu'er, quickly help me prepare the hot water. Young Master, I want to take a bath." Ye Xuan lovingly touched Liu'er's head.
He ran all the way back and practiced the Gale Sword Technique a few times in the forest behind the Ye family mansion, so his clothes were already wet with sweat.
"Alright!"
Liu'er ran away happily. Recently, Ye Xuan had returned to the Ye Family and received more attention from the Ye Family. This made her really happy.
Other than Liu'er, there was another person in the courtyard, and that person was Xue Qingqing.
After Liu'er ran away, Xue Qingqing also looked at Ye Xuan strangely, saying: "Aren't you training a little too hard these past few days? Why do I feel like you're doing something that can't be seen by others?"
The girl's sixth sense was extremely sharp. Although Ye Xuan had disguised himself very well, it still made Xue Qing feel that something was amiss.
"With my latent talent, I'll only be able to get a decent amount of cultivation after reaching the Cracking Cloud Sect. There are quite a few other disciples in the sect who are much stronger than me. If I don't work hard, how could I surpass them?" Ye Xuan casually made up a reason.
"Liar, you're still not allowing me to go when you're cultivating. You're clearly d
oing something else. Quickly, come and find me. What have you been doing these past few days?" Xue Qingqing didn't believe it.
"Hur hur, you'll know tomorrow." Ye Xuan intentionally kept them in suspense.
However, his reply caused Xue Qingqing to be convinced of her guess. She pondered for a moment, then revealed a look of shock: "You, killed Chen Song?"
Ye Xuan, who had just sat down and was about to drink a cup of water, almost choked to death.
"Yes, he died half an hour ago." After all, Xue Qingqing had personally witnessed him killing Chen Feng, so it was fine if she knew that he had also killed Chen Song.
Hearing Ye Xuan admitting it himself, Xue Qingqing also cried out in alarm: "You're crazy! If you kill him, your Ye Family will go to war with the Chen Family. At that time, many people will die."
"I know, but I have to avenge Liu'er!" Ye Xuan naturally understood what would happen when the two great clans fought.
"You …" Xue Qingqing was also speechless. She suddenly felt that there was a slight difference between the Ye Xuan in front of her and the Ye Xuan a few years ago.
"Don't worry, even if the Chen family comes looking for us, they won't have any evidence. Furthermore, I used a bow and arrow to kill Chen Song ten meters away, no one would know about it." Ye Xuan said.
"Then how did you find Chen Song?" Xue Qingqing's beautiful eyes darted about as she asked.
This question caused Ye Xuan to be startled.
"I spent five thousand silver to bribe a steward of the Chen family. He probably left the city yesterday and left Lianyun City." Ye Xuan said.
Five thousand taels of silver was not a small sum. It was enough for a family to enjoy a lifetime of wealth and prosperity.
"What if the Chen family caught him and brought him back?" Xue Qingqing asked again.
Ye Xuan gave a bland laugh, "Then it's fine. I went in disguise and wore black clothing, even my voice was deliberately suppressed. He couldn't recognize me."
Chapter 24 - Suspicion
"I hope your plan is as perfect as you say it is." Xue Qing also heaved a sigh of relief. As long as the Chen family did not have any evidence, that did not mean that Chen Song was killed by the Ye family.
