Chapter XII Theft and Looting

Ye Mingche quickly left the courtyard and quickly called for Ma Yubin.

Actually, Ma Yubin had gone to recover his cultivation after detoxifying the poison. When his cultivation returned to the fifth level of the True Origin Stage, he was guarding a place not too far away from Ye Mingche.

"Let's go out." Ye Mingche slowly said.

"What for? "Young Master?" Ma Yubin asked again. If it was just a normal person leaving, Ye Mingche wouldn't have called him over, so he should have gone out to do something.

"Steal!" Ye Mingche indifferently said.

"What!" Ma Yubin exclaimed.

Ma Yubin found it hard to believe what he had heard. You are the only direct descendant of the Ye Family, yet you want to steal from them? Is the Ye Family really that poor? As one of the Four Great Clans in the capital, he was not that poor, right? Yet, he had fallen to stealing.

And the key point was … Letting someone at the True Origin Stage like him steal something was way too much. An ordinary person would usually have someone at the True Origin Stage, but this person was the one who had someone accompany him in stealing things. He was only in the True Origin Stage, so what was there to be afraid of?

"Don't be so shocked, he is at the True Origin Stage after all." Ye Mingche indifferently said.

Ma Yubin's eyelids jumped when he heard this. You're still so calm, you're still the heir to the Ye Family, aren't you?

"Then let's go. "Steal what?" Ma Yubin asked.

"Um... Money and strange metals. " Ye Mingche thought for a while before saying.

He now intended to forge a batch of weapons, and the essential thing was the metal essence, especially those strange metals which had a better effect.

Moreover, he had used up all of his money, so he didn't have much on him right now nor was there any way to earn money. Although he had a lot of ideas in his head, they all required time. The fastest way to earn money in a short period of time was to steal them. In the capital, there were many places that needed money. Money was not everything, but not having money was absolutely impossible. After that, money was needed in many ways.

Ma Yubin nodded, he finally understood.

… ….

At night, the moon was curved in the sky, and the stars were bright.

At the Ye residence, two black shadows dashed out.

It was Ye Mingche and Ma Yubin.

Ye Mingche's cultivation was not high, and his speed was not fast. Ma Yubin followed closely behind with a calm expression, not even taking a step away.

After walking for a while, they arrived at a mansion.

This was a rich family in the capital. Their family often bullied men and women, committing all sorts of crimes. In Ye Mingche's previous life, the people he hated the most were people who used their power to bully ordinary citizens. Therefore, the first place to steal was this mansion.

Ye Mingche's figure flashed as he silently floated up the wall. Borrowing the darkness around him, he concealed himself in the darkness. He was clearly in front, but if one did not look closely, they would definitely not be able to see a living person.

Ye Mingche also shielded his breath, doing his best to hide in the surrounding environment. In the darkness, Ye Mingche's figure seemed to be fading in and out of existence.

This was the unique concealment technique that Ye Mingche had used in his previous life — Shadowless Night.

This was created when Ye Mingche was being hunted in the rainforest in his previous life. Not only did this set of technique allow him to avoid the attack, but many times in the future, he had also relied on this technique to escape.

Strictly speaking, this was not a martial skill, but a set of concealment techniques, using the environment and darkness to conceal himself. It works best at night. After Ye Mingche's continuous improvement, his skills had definitely reached the Transformation Boundary.

This technique had its flaws as well. In comparison, it was just a technique, and it wasn't perfect. Ye Mingche planned on learning a few concealment martial skills before integrating them into Night Shadow Formless to strengthen this technique. This way, when Night Shadow fused with his concealment skills, it would definitely have an unexpected effect.

Ma Yubin followed closely behind, keeping close to Ye Mingche with a calm expression.

In reality, however, his heart was in turmoil.

He was certain that Ye Mingche didn't use any martial skills or secret techniques to achieve such a shocking concealment effect. How much experience did he have in concealment?

If he didn't know that Ye Mingche was a descendant of the Ye Family, he would probably think that Ye Mingche was an assassin and a peerless assassin.

However... How could a cultivator not know how to hide a martial skill, yet have so much experience in concealment?

This question puzzled Ma Yubin. This question could not be solved by anyone else. Only Ye Mingche, who came from another world, would have the experience, but not the martial skill, concealing technique.

Now Ma Yubin understood why Ye Mingche was able to shake off his Uncle Lin of the Blood Solidification Realm. With this technique, even if he wasn't careful, he would still be able to shake off his opponent at the True Origin Stage.

In front of him, Ye Mingche was like a small snake, stealthily slipping into the house and entering the warehouse.

Ma Yubin went to deal with a few Blood Solidification Realm cultivators.

Arriving at the warehouse, with a few flashes and a few palm strikes, he knocked over all of the Body Tempering realm guards.

After that, he retrieved the Monarch's Sword from his sea of consciousness and activated his Devouring Power to collect all of the metal essence in the warehouse.

There was a space in his sea of consciousness that was created by the golden book. However, that space could only contain high-grade items. Until now, only the golden book, the Tree of Life, and the Monarch Sword were there.

Ye Mingche had tried other things before, but none of them were able to fit inside. Even a mineral essence like iron essence was unable to do so.

Very soon, the metal in the warehouse turned into starch, and the warehouse was emptied.

Ye Mingche clapped his hands and calmly walked out.

For a thief to do this, it was definitely a good thing. After stealing the items, he left through the main entrance.

The moment they left, Ma Yubin's side also completed their mission. Ma Yubin took care of a few Blood Condensation cultivators in his house, then went to the rich man's room to steal some silver notes. Before the rich man could react, Ma Yubin had already knocked him unconscious. The banknotes hidden in the room were all looted.

Ma Yubin handed the silver notes to Ye Mingche.

Ye Mingche counted and found that it was more than a million taels.

Isn't this way too rich? Your father's entire assets are only a few hundred thousand taels, but your mansion alone is worth more than a million taels. I am the direct descendant of the Ye Family.

With so much money, all of it is for the common people. I'll just eliminate all of it for the sake of the common people.

After counting the silver bills, he placed them in his pocket before silently walking out.

After going out, the two of them went their separate ways and stole from each other. This was very efficient.

Ma Yubin was responsible for stealing the money of those evil people who bullied the common people, while Ye Mingche was responsible for stealing their strange metals.

Ma Yubin didn't have much of an opinion towards this decision.

He had witnessed Ye Mingche's concealment technique. If he didn't have a True Origin Stage cultivator to search for it, he wouldn't have been discovered. Ma Yubin was very confident in Ye Mingche's safety.

The two of them flew in two different directions.

… ….

The next day, all the big families and mansions in the capital were all stolen!
