Chapter 92 Night Operation
Just then, Xiao Feng, who was in the distance, heard the Third Elder's reprimand and was startled.
He looked at the child he called Xiao Yan. Within the Xiao family, there couldn't possibly be someone with the same name; therefore, this Xiao Yan was the one Xiao Feng was looking for!
"Is that Xiao Yan? He looks no different from the other children." Looking at the mischievous-looking child in the distance, Xiao Feng couldn't help but think.
Xiao Yan had already seen it, and his purpose for this trip had been achieved. Even if he had any ideas or wanted to do something, he should do it quietly when no one else was around, rather than doing it in front of everyone. Therefore, he did not linger and turned to leave.
No one knew about Xiao Feng's arrival and departure. The three elders were teaching diligently, and the children were listening attentively and cultivating earnestly. Naturally, no one noticed Xiao Feng in the distance.
Back in the courtyard, Xiao Feng had nothing else to do but sit and admire the flowers and drink tea, quietly waiting for night to fall. He didn't know Xiao Yan's daily routine, nor did he know when he would return, but it was clear that he would definitely return to his residence at night, and that would be the time for him to make his move.
As for Xiao Yan's residence, he had already found several suspicious targets while wandering around earlier. He would find out when he went to investigate late at night. In any case, with his strength, it would be an easy thing to deceive the people of the Xiao family.
Night fell, and a crescent moon hung in the sky, surrounded by countless stars. A few bright lights dotted the inky black sky. Perhaps because there were so few stars or because the sky was so dark, these few stars seemed exceptionally clear and bright, as if they could illuminate one's heart.
It was at this moment that Xiao Feng, who was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, stood up and disappeared into the darkness in a flash.
At this time, all members of the Xiao family had gone to bed, and all the lights and candles had been extinguished, with only a few people on night patrol holding a lamp in their hands.
However, in the dead of night, it was still not very effective. The light could only illuminate about three or four meters around, and beyond that, it was swallowed up by the darkness and could not be seen clearly.
Although it was pitch black all around, it didn't affect Xiao Feng at all. His big eyes were unaffected, and he blinked quickly to confirm the direction and find the house he suspected.
Whoosh! In a flash, he completely ignored the wall and entered the house! Upon entering the room and seeing the person lying on the bed in the distance, Xiao Feng's face darkened. He then vanished as if he had never been there at all.
Clearly, his first suspicion about the house was wrong! Fortunately, no woman lived in the house, his actions today would have been somewhat like those of a "gentleman thief".
Soon, he arrived at another house, entered it, and saw Xiao Yan sleeping soundly on the bed. A smile finally appeared on his face.
Poor Xiao Yan, still fast asleep, never imagined that someone could disregard the Xiao family's defenses, swagger into his room, and plot against him! How could a mere child without even a trace of fighting spirit attract the attention of such a powerful person?
Step by step, he moved forward until he reached the bedside. A burst of energy flew from Xiao Feng's hand and struck the sleeping Xiao Yan, knocking him unconscious. Only after doing all this did he feel completely relieved.
Under his methods, Xiao Yan had completely fainted. Even if he could wake up, it would probably be noon tomorrow. During this time, no matter what Xiao Feng did or what noise he made, he wouldn't hear it. When he woke up, he would at most think that he had just taken a nap and wouldn't have any other thoughts.
He stepped forward and roughly tore off Xiao Yan's undergarments, then took off the storage ring hanging around his neck.
Looking at the storage ring in his hand, Xiao Feng was extremely excited. The ninth-grade alchemist Yao Chen and the mysterious cultivation technique "Burning Technique" were inside!
Taking Xiao Yan's storage ring and simply walking away would inevitably arouse his suspicion. If Xiao Yan were truly a child, he might simply think he lost it unintentionally and not care at all. But he isn't; he's a transmigrator! And he was quite old before transmigrating. The sudden loss of the storage ring will definitely arouse his suspicion!
Even if they replaced his storage ring, there was no guarantee that Xiao Yan wouldn't discover something, which was not what he wanted to see.
Xiao Feng gently brushed his hand across his storage ring, a faint light flashed, and then a storage ring appeared in his hand—a top-grade storage ring! However, its appearance was slightly different from Xiao Yan's storage ring.
But this was not a problem. With a wave of his hand, the surrounding space was locked, and no one could enter. Everything that happened inside could not be seen or heard by people outside.
After doing all this, a deep purple flame rose from his palm and then, under his control, burned towards the storage ring that was floating in the air.
The power of the strange fire was simply too strong. Even though Xiao Feng had tried to restrain himself repeatedly, the moment he touched the storage ring, it turned into a cloud of ashes without even a speck of dust falling.
Seeing this, a wry smile appeared on his face: "It seems that this seemingly easy thing is actually not easy. For me, being too strong is also a problem!"
One failure was not enough to disappoint Xiao Feng, much less to make him give up. He now understood that the power of the strange fire was too great, especially since it was ranked ninth on the Strange Fire Ranking. Even a small wisp of the strange fire, even under his careful control, was something that a storage ring could not withstand.
Of course, there are many reasons for this. The first reason is that he is not an alchemist and has not studied alchemy. Otherwise, he would be able to control the strange fire skillfully. You know, those alchemists who have strange fire can even refine fragile medicinal materials into medicinal liquids and pills. Wouldn't it be even easier to refine the storage ring, which is even harder than medicinal materials?
Besides, the most important reason is that his strength is too great. Under his influence and nourished by the huge battle qi in his body, the strength of the Three Thousand Burning Flames in his body is increasing day by day. In terms of power alone, it is now no weaker than the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame, which ranks sixth on the Strange Flame Ranking!
