62: Chapter 63 Stealing a Home (Part 1)

After some observation, the three of them did not dare to rashly break in; instead, they decided to wait for the rabbit, actively attacking those Cultivators who went out.

Although it took longer, the risk factor was minimal, and they could also obtain the most accurate information.

As the days passed, during this month, the upper echelons of the Xiang Family suddenly discovered that the Cultivators who had been going out recently rarely returned.

On this day, in the Family hall, the atmosphere was exceptionally heavy.

"Has something happened?"

Clan Leader Xiang frowned, his face full of confusion.

He had already begun investigating these past few days, sending Cultivators out to scout, only to clearly discover that the Cultivators went out and never returned.

"Big Brother, it seems someone has set their sights on our Xiang Family."

A tall, middle-aged Cultivator slammed his teacup onto the table and said with a sudden realization.

"It seems that can only be the case. Last time a group of Loose Cultivators came, they also used this method." A short, stout Cultivator nodded repeatedly.

"However, these Cultivators are sneaky and dare not attack directly; their Realm must be quite average." Clan Leader Xiang stroked his gray beard, lost in thought.

The current situation was very delicate, and he did not dare to attack with great fanfare.

After all, there were only six Late-stage Qi Refining Cultivators in the Family, two of whom had gone to the Su Family and had not returned.

"Pass down the order, issue an alert to all clansmen, no one is allowed to go out from now on, open the Family treasury, and distribute Magical Artifacts and Medicinal Pills."

After some discussion, Clan Leader Xiang finally issued the order.

However, just as he finished speaking, he heard a commotion outside, with Family Cultivators letting out screams from time to time.

"Outrageous! I want to see exactly who is playing tricks."

Four Xiang Family Qi Refining Cultivators strode out of the meeting hall, only to see Family Cultivators already lying all over the ground, one by one bleeding profusely, with no signs of life.

Yet the Cultivator who had killed them was nowhere to be seen.

"Come out! Who is being sneaky?"

Clan Leader Xiang revealed a fierce look, his mana circulating throughout his body, emitting the pressure of a 12th Level of Qi Refining.

The others successively brought out high-quality Magical Artifacts, constantly looking around.

However, after a burst of angry reprimands, there was no movement at all.

Instead, screams came from the further Back Courtyard.

"Not good."

Clan Leader Xiang's face turned pale, and he felt anxious in his heart; one must know that was where the Family treasury was located.

"It seems to be just a few petty thieves, only daring to sneak around." The tall Cultivator's face twitched slightly, and he went off, filled with Killing Intent, holding a golden-ringed broadsword.

Just as the few of them turned and arrived at the further Back Courtyard, they saw that the Family treasury had already been broken into.

"Ah!"

Clan Leader Xiang, thinking of the many rare Spiritual Plants inside, rushed in with a stride.

"Big Brother, be careful."

Before the tall Cultivator could finish speaking, a flash of light appeared at the entrance of the treasury, and a brand new Restriction Formation forcibly sealed the cave door.

"Not good, this is a trap." The short, stout Cultivator was shocked and immediately used his Magical Artifact to attack the Restriction.

"Hmph, it is already too late."

A soft hum echoed in the surroundings, and with a flash of light, Chen Fan slowly appeared before the three of them.

After a long investigation, he discovered that the Xiang Family actually had two 12th Level of Qi Refining Cultivators; he had no choice but to adopt this method.

As long as he could separate the two 12th Level of Qi Refining Cultivators within a short time, he would have absolute certainty.

Not far away, Lu Fushuang's face was cold, her hands constantly forming seals, with hundreds of Talismans swirling around her.

"Two Fellow Daoists, is there a misunderstanding? Our Xiang Family has not offended you two Fellow Daoists." The tall Cultivator felt a little intimidated; he had never seen anyone use Talismans like this before.

"Our Xiang Family is not stingy; if you two Fellow Daoists name a price, we can afford the Spirit Stones." The short, stout Cultivator regained his composure; in his view, these two were nothing more than rogue Cultivators.

Chen Fan's face revealed a strange smile as he directly unleashed the High Grade Magical Artifact xuantian awl, attacking the tall Cultivator.

At the same time, Lu Fushuang formed seals with her hands and threw a large number of Talismans at the other two Cultivators.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The clashing sounds of Magical Artifacts and the explosions of Talismans were endless.

The tall Cultivator could not withstand the attack of the High Grade Magical Artifact at all; in just one round, the defensive and offensive Magical Artifacts in his hands were quickly shattered.

In a panic, he unleashed a Medium Grade Flying Sword.

He had never seen a High Grade Magical Artifact before; in his view, anyone capable of wielding such an artifact must be a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

A little timid in his heart, he quickly found himself at a disadvantage.

"Damn it, where did the other Family Cultivators go?"

The tall Cultivator finally realized a strange thing: there were only the three of them in this residence.

In fact, when the other clansmen of the Xiang Family heard movement in the Back Courtyard, they rushed over immediately.

However, they encountered Liu Rushuang; once this woman's charm technique was unleashed, the low-level Cultivators were all entranced and unable to move.

Although Chen Fan quickly gained the upper hand after breaking the tall Cultivator's protective shield, he did not dare to be the slightest bit careless, continuously unleashing Spiritual Sense attacks.

The tall Cultivator was caught off guard again, his head throbbing with pain.

"Kid, so you are a Demonic Cultivator? How about we make a deal? You can choose any of the Xiang Family's female Cultivators you like."

The tall Cultivator promised while secretly unleashing multiple Talismans.

Just as he was about to activate them, he found his headache becoming even more splitting.

Chen Fan did not want to waste too much time, so he directly unleashed the Medium Grade Magical Artifact soul-extinguishing awl.

Then, a flying blade lightly sliced across the opponent's neck.

With a "thump," the tall Cultivator's head and body were separated, and he fell directly to the ground.

"Second Brother."

The fat Cultivator saw this, his face turning pale.

He wanted to flee the place immediately, but saw a cone-shaped High Grade Magical Artifact attacking again.

Lightning threads flashed on it, and its power was immense.

After barely holding on for a while, the Magical Artifact in his hand shattered.

The next moment, the xuantian awl forcibly pierced through his Physical Body.

The fat Cultivator's fair face twitched slightly, and he fell to the ground, unwilling to accept his fate.

At this time, under the continuous attack of hundreds of Talismans, the other Late-stage Qi Refining Cultivator was finally killed.

"Only one left."

Chen Fan looked at the Family treasury; that Restriction, under continuous strikes, was already in imminent danger.

In fact, when he raided the Back Courtyard earlier, he had already stored all the cultivation resources inside into his Storage Pouch; it could be said that apart from Clan Leader Xiang, it was empty.

Clan Leader Xiang felt increasingly anxious, his thick mana continuously striking it.

Not long after, with a "clatter," the Restriction was finally broken.

However, the next moment, he dared not make a move; he saw his clansmen, regardless of gender, age, or seniority, all bound and standing in the courtyard.

"Husband, the task you gave me is completely finished; these people are simply vulnerable." Liu Rushuang cast a glance, looking at these bottom-tier Cultivators and Mortals with a face full of disdain.

"Xiang clansmen, I am a Qin Family Cultivator. Today is about seizing the Spiritual Vein. If you surrender, the Mortals inside can be spared. If you remain stubborn, everyone will be killed."

Chen Fan's gaze was cold, a fierce look appearing on his face.
