Tonight was destined to not be a peaceful night!
No one noticed that a black shadow had already entered the City Lord's Mansion.
At this moment, there were two figures in one of the rooms of the Castellan Manor. One of them was the mayor of the City of Gold, Zhang Lie, while the other was Cao Ba, who was sent flying by Ye Xuan earlier in the day.
Zhang Lie sat on a chair with a gloomy expression. His brows were furrowed as if he was thinking about something.
"Castellan, are you going to let them go just like that?" Cao Ba, who was standing in front of Zhang Lie, asked.
"I didn't expect that brat to know the Patrol Envoy. It seems that I can't touch that brat. However, I didn't expect the Xue Family to be so rich. They have more assets than me, the Castellan. This is not bad. Furthermore, now that the Xue Family has left the City of Gold, the City of Gold belongs to me.
"Congratulations Castellan!"
Cao Ba hurriedly clasped his fist.
Although he was sent flying by Ye Xuan and suffered some injuries, he also heard that Fan Yue was crippled by Ye Xuan. He couldn't afford to offend such a daring person.
One had to know that there were many people who wanted to take revenge for Fan Yue. Other than the Sky Cracking Sect, there was also the Fan Family of South Forest City!
Just as Zhang Lie and Cao Ba were discussing how to develop the Thousand Gold City in the future, a figure suddenly rushed in from outside the door.
"Castellan, someone has invaded!"
"There are more than one people who want to attack the Castellan Manor. Why are you reporting to me?" Zhang Lie furrowed his brows and said.
The guard who came to report swallowed his saliva and stammered, "City Lord, it's an expert this time. He has already killed eight of our guards!"
"What?"
Cao Ba exclaimed. He suspected that he had heard wrongly.
Every group of guards in the Castellan Manor had ten people and they were all at least in the Sixth Rank of the Martial Path. Eight groups meant that there were eighty people.
"It seems that this person is at least in the Eighth Rank of the Martial Path. Castellan, I'll be back soon!" Cao Ba left with a gloomy expression.
After all, those who died were his subordinates.
Zhang Lie did not mind. After all, he was the only one in power now. There would definitely be many people eyeing him.
And Cao Ba was his trusted aide, someone he had recruited with great difficulty. He believed that with Cao Ba's strength, he would definitely be able to capture that thief and deliver him to him.
However, this time, he was wrong. Furthermore, he was very wrong.
"That's strange. Cao Ba has already been gone for more than ten minutes. Could it be that he couldn't do anything to that intruder with his strength?" Zhang Lie was very surprised. Just as he was about to go out and take a look, he was shocked to find that someone had ambushed him.
"You dare to sneak attack me? You really overestimate yourself!"
Zhang Lie dodged the attack, but in the next moment, he was shocked to find that what he dodged was not a hidden weapon, nor an arrow, but a head.
Moreover, he recognized this head. It belonged to Cao Ba, the Chief Guard of the City Lord's Mansion!
"What?"
Zhang Lie started to panic. Cao Ba was at the ninth rank of the Martial Path, the same as him. However, Cao Ba's head had already been chopped off. This meant that the other party definitely had the ability to kill him.
"Who dares to be so presumptuous in my City Lord's Mansion?" Although Zhang Lie was a little scared, he was a City Lord and an official of the Xuan Yang Empire. Not everyone had the guts to kill him.
"City Lord Zhang, how have you been?"
Suddenly, a woman's voice rang out. Shortly after, a black figure landed in his courtyard.
"It's a woman?"
Zhang Lie quickly thought for a moment, but he could not remember anything. He did not recognize this voice.
This black figure was actually Ye Xuan. Before sneaking into the City Lord's Mansion, he spent some Devour points to buy a Voice Changing Bead from the Devour System. He disguised himself as a mature woman. Coupled with his black clothes and the night sky, unless his mask fell off, he would not be recognized.
"City Lord Zhang is really forgetful. It seems that you have forgotten what you did to my family back then. Today, I am here to take revenge!"
Ye Xuan purposely spoke very loudly so that the surrounding people could hear.
"Back then?"
Zhang Lie's face darkened. He had done too many things and he could not remember which clan this tall lady in front of him belonged to.
"Cut the crap, Zhang Lie. Today is the day you die!"
Ye Xuan shouted and rushed in front of Zhang Lie. He then used his gloved right hand and punched Zhang Lie's chest. To be precise, he punched Zhang Lie's heart.
"Peng!"
Zhang Lie's heart stopped after receiving such a heavy blow.
Ye Xuan was in the Middle Stage Ninth Rank of the Martial Path. He was one rank higher than Zhang Lie. Furthermore, he had the Hundred Beasts Bloodline and high-ranked martial arts. It was easy for him to kill Zhang Lie.
"Run! The City Lord is dead!"
Immediately, the guards outside scattered. Even Zhang Lie and Cao Ba, who were in the Ninth Rank of the Martial Path, were dead. What was the point of them staying here?
However, Ye Xuan, who'd killed Zhang Lie, secretly revealed a smile.
"Merge with the Bloodline of the Treasure Hunting Deer!"
Ye Xuan said in his heart.
The Bloodline of the Treasure Hunting Deer was also a low-ranked Bloodline. However, it was worth 300 Devouring Points, which was three times more than the Hundred Beasts Bloodline.
The Treasure Hunting Deer, as its name suggested, was specialized in finding treasures. After merging with the Bloodline, it could sense things with spiritual energy within a certain range. For example, medicinal herbs, pills, etc.
It was also because of this that Ye Xuan didn't leave Zhang Lie alive.
"Ding! Merging successful!"
A system notification sounded in his mind.
"Alright, let's start looking for treasures!"
After merging with the Bloodline of the Treasure Hunting Deer, Ye Xuan could clearly sense that there were treasures around him. However, he did not know where they were.
The Bloodline of the Treasure Hunting Deer was only able to sense things, which was why it was so cheap.
"It seems like it is in Zhang Lie's study room."
Ye Xuan glanced at his surroundings, then strode into the study.
The study room was not big, but there were a few bookshelves. Ye Xuan felt that something was wrong the moment he entered.
Something was wrong!
He checked and soon found a mechanism.
"Kacha!"
Two rows of bookshelves suddenly moved apart, revealing a secret passage that led underground.
"Such a small trick, it won't stop me." Ye Xuan snorted and then started to walk down.
Before he reached the end, he saw a few special iron doors. However, these iron doors could only stop a martial artist of the Martial Path Eighth Rank. For Ye Xuan, it was not difficult at all.
After a while, Ye Xuan looked at the huge pile of treasure chests in front of him and could not help but laugh out loud.
This was probably the Zhang Family's treasure vault. Perhaps, there were still things that they had plundered from the Xue Family.
"Forget it, I will put them all into the Devouring Space first!"
Ye Xuan did not care about anything else and kept all the treasures into the Devouring Space.
Although he did not know if these were all of Zhang Lie's possessions, he knew that there were many more treasures in the Mansion.
