Chapter 64 Night Raid on the Xu Family
Ye Feng noticed that there seemed to be very few people coming and going from the Xu family's residence. It seemed that the Xu family was on guard, which was understandable, as the news had already spread.

Ignoring all that, even if the Xu family was on guard, Ye Feng still had to go through with it. Ye Feng's main goal was to snatch the Bright Crystal and Rune Stone No. 9 from Xu Bo. As for other issues, those should be handled by the Bei family; he didn't need to worry about them.

Under the cover of night, Ye Feng sneaked into the Xu family mansion.

While in stealth mode, Ye Feng easily evaded the various overt and covert sentries of the Xu family. After cautiously wandering around for a while, Ye Feng also noticed that the Xu family seemed to have strengthened its defenses, with many more patrols than usual.

At this moment, inside the Xu family residence, Wu Gui and Xu Feng were having a discussion.

"Brother, the Bei family is really asking for the moon. They want to extort so much from us. Are we just going to give it to them like this?" Wu Gui said, puzzled.

"Hmph, that guy Bei Yan treats his daughter like a treasure. Even if we give them something this time, it doesn't mean they'll hold a grudge."

"Then why should we agree to their terms?"

“This time we’ve really broken ties with the Bei family. Anyway, our two families have been at odds for a long time, and we’ll settle things sooner or later.” A cold glint flashed in Xu Feng’s eyes. “Let’s pretend to agree to them first, and once the Zhou family is ready, we’ll strike first against the Bei family.”

"I see. I was worried that you would suffer a loss, but it seems I was overthinking it," Wu Gui said with a smile.

"If the Bei family attacked us, what about us?" Xu Feng slowly picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said calmly.

After wandering around the Xu family's residence, Ye Feng finally found Xu Feng's location. Xu Feng knew he had caused trouble upon his return and dared not go out, instead locking himself in his room.

Ye Feng is currently lying in ambush outside Xu Bo's house, waiting for an opportunity. Although Ye Feng is in stealth mode, he can't pass through walls. If he rushes in like this, Xu Bo will probably react.

Ye Feng knew that the Xu family was heavily guarded. If Xu Bo reacted, it might attract unwanted attention, and not only would his purpose of murder and robbery be exposed, but he might not even be able to kill Xu Bo. So Ye Feng waited patiently. He understood that opportunities are created by waiting, which was a basic quality of an assassin.

Ye Feng originally wanted to wait to see if Xu Bo would come out of the room or if anyone else would come in or out, so that he would have a chance to sneak in and make his move. However, Ye Feng did not wait for Xu Bo to come out of the room. Instead, he waited for the Bei family to make their move.

As the Bei family launched a surprise attack on the Xu family, shouts of battle gradually came from outside. Ye Feng thought for a moment and realized that it would be too late if he didn't act now. He immediately prepared to take action. Even if Xu Bo sent out some signal, the others probably wouldn't have time to pay attention.

Just as Ye Feng was about to break down the door, he suddenly stopped and quickly hid in a clump of grass.

Wu Gui appeared, looking flustered. He entered the room, grabbed Xu Bo, and prepared to leave.

"Uncle Wu, what's wrong? Why is it so noisy outside?" Xu Bo asked worriedly.

"Never mind that, just come with me. You'll escape through the secret passage in the house." Wu Gui led Xu Bo, not out of the mansion, but deeper inside.

"Damn it, coming out to cause trouble at this time." Wu Gui's appearance ruined Ye Feng's plan. If Ye Feng hadn't discovered Wu Gui hiding in advance, Ye Feng would have had the upper hand when they started fighting. Although Ye Feng could use Ghost Fang, he didn't want to reveal too much of himself. If he were to fight a spirit-type martial artist like Wu Gui head-on, Ye Feng would still be no match for him.

Although Wu Gui disrupted the plan, Ye Feng still followed at a distance. With Wu Gui around, Ye Feng dared not follow too closely. Stealth was not a panacea, and following too closely could still lead to being discovered.

Inside a courtyard of Ye Feng's mansion, there were several inconspicuous artificial hills as decorations. Ye Feng was also very curious as to why these two people were not running away but instead came here.

However, Wu Gui quickly answered Ye Feng's curiosity. Wu Gui fiddled with one of the artificial hills a few times, and the open space next to the hills automatically split open, revealing a passage.

"You need to get out of here right now," Wu Gui said hurriedly. "I'll go back and help Brother Xu."

"Uncle Wu, how are my father and the others?" Xu Bo asked worriedly.

"Put it down, as long as you're alright." Wu Gui gave Xu Bo some instructions and then left in a hurry.

Not long after Wu Gui left, Ye Feng appeared in the courtyard. Following the method Wu Gui had used to open the passage, Ye Feng easily opened the underground passage.

Xu Bo didn't rush to leave the underground passage. He was also worried about what was going on up there. When he saw the passage reopen, he thought the chaos had subsided.

"Uncle Wu, you solved the problem so quickly? It seems you were making a fuss over nothing." Xu Bo stepped forward and said with a smile.

However, Xu Bo's smile quickly vanished when he saw that the person who came down was the very guy he hated. "If it weren't for this guy, I wouldn't be afraid to go out," Xu Bo thought bitterly.

But Xu Bo didn't realize that if he hadn't provoked Ye Feng, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

However, Ye Feng did not give Xu Bo any chance. With a flash of light, a cut appeared on Xu Bo's neck, and blood flowed out from it.

Before Xu Bo could speak, he felt a chill on his neck. He tried to shout for help, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make a sound. Finally, he felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him, quickly engulfing him. Ye Feng swiftly finished off Xu Bo, giving him no chance to cry for help. He was worried about any unforeseen complications. Even if he might not get what he wanted from Xu Bo, Ye Feng was determined not to cause any further trouble, which is why he acted so quickly and eliminated Xu Bo.

Fortunately, when Ye Feng opened Xu Bo's storage bag, he found that Xu Bo had brought everything he wanted with him. Of course, apart from these two valuable items, Ye Feng didn't find anything else of value.

"You poor bastard." Ye Feng kicked Xu Bo on the ground as he took the things.

Although Ye Feng was a little disappointed that there was nothing else of value in the storage bag, at least he got what he wanted, so the purpose of his trip was achieved.

Actually, you can't really blame Xu Bo. He used to have some savings, but after being extorted once and then being tricked by Ye Feng at the auction house, he had almost no money left. Xu Feng also froze Xu Bo's funds recently because of his reckless spending. In the end, it's all because of Ye Feng. Now Ye Feng is even complaining that Xu Bo doesn't have enough money. It seems that his habit of robbing and plundering is getting worse.

Having eliminated Xu Bo, Ye Feng had no intention of getting involved in the conflict between the Bei and Xu families. Seeing the Bei family's confident demeanor, Ye Feng figured it shouldn't be a problem.

Ye Feng decided to walk along the secret passage to see what lay ahead. Of course, he was very careful along the way, fearing that there might be some traps or other dangers.

However, Ye Feng's worries were ultimately unnecessary. He walked along this path for an unknown amount of time, and he felt somewhat oppressed in the cramped space. In the end, Ye Feng did not encounter any danger and arrived in front of a stone door.

Actually, when the Xu family designed it, they thought that since the entrance was already hidden enough, there was no need to make any more mechanisms inside. This actually benefited Ye Feng.

Although the stone gate was also a mechanism gate, the mechanism of this gate was made very conspicuously, and Ye Feng opened the stone gate with ease.

The space behind the stone gate was significantly more spacious, and it appeared that there was a secret room behind the stone gate, with a staircase leading upwards at the other end of the secret room.

Ye Feng didn't rush upstairs; his attention was currently focused on a pile of boxes inside the secret room.

Some of these boxes contained glittering purple-gold coins, while others contained materials and herbs that Ye Feng couldn't name. However, since they were placed here, they must have been quite valuable.

"We've struck it rich, haha." Ye Feng was just complaining about how poor Xu Bo's family was, and now a windfall has fallen from the sky. He never expected that the basement here was where the Xu family stored their secret assets.

Regardless of anything else, Ye Feng unceremoniously stuffed box after box of purple gold coins into his pack. At this moment, Ye Feng's pack showed its advantage. If it were an ordinary storage bag, it probably wouldn't be able to hold such a lot of things. If others accidentally discovered this place, it would be a question whether they could even take it away.

Ye Feng accepted all the purple-gold coins, various pills, gems, and many other things he couldn't name without any hesitation.

"Hmm? What's this?" Ye Feng found a black spherical object in a corner. It was lying there quietly, looking very ordinary, but it told Ye Feng that it was very special, otherwise it would not have appeared here.

Actually, the Xu family obtained this thing in their early years, but unfortunately, the Xu family didn't know what the sphere was for. They only knew that it was generally indestructible and obviously very special. Xu Feng had studied it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what it was, so it was eventually left here.

Ye Feng stared at it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what it was for. So he decided to just throw it into his bag. He didn't care whether it was useful or not; he'd keep it for now and maybe find out what it was later.

"Ding, item confirmed. Do you want to fuse it?"

The message that suddenly appeared in Ye Feng's mind startled him. After carefully checking, he found that the system was prompting him whether he needed to fuse the Ghost Fang Compass with the black sphere he had just picked up.

Although he didn't know the specifics, based on experience, fusion is generally not a bad thing. After thinking about it, Ye Feng decided to confirm the fusion.

"Ding, fusion successful."

The system notification came again, and Ye Feng quickly checked the package. The black sphere was gone, and the Ghost Fang Compass didn't seem to have changed much.

"That's it? What happened?" Ye Feng felt confused and decided to summon Ghost Fang to see what had happened.

"Ding, it is currently impossible to summon Ghost Fang."

"What the hell is going on?" Ye Feng was very frustrated. He didn't see any benefits from the fusion, and now he couldn't even summon Ghost Fang. This is a scam!

Fortunately, after confirming, Ye Feng discovered that the fused Ghost Fang was temporarily in an evolved state, so it could not be summoned.

Although he had temporarily lost a major helper like Gui Liao, Ye Feng was already looking forward to Gui Liao's evolved state since it was an evolution. However, what frustrated Ye Feng was that the above did not specify how long it would take for Gui Liao to evolve.

"I hope this evolution will never be finished in a lifetime. I hope I don't have to wait too long."

Ignoring Gui Liao's affairs, Ye Feng continued packing up all the valuables in the basement. Meanwhile, the battle between the Bei and Xu families was intensifying.
