The whole area was in a state of shock, with mountains collapsing and the earth cracking.
The surrounding peoples were fighting among themselves while Ye Xiao walked toward the place the six Martial Emperor Realm martial artists were fighting. No one noticed Ye Xiao as he soon reached there.
After arriving here, he once again hid behind a big boulder where no one can discover his existence. Then he tried to sneak a peek and saw a golden radiance from not far away from him.
He first looked at the six experts then he looked at other members of the three big families and after confirming that no one was paying their attention, he silently walked toward the place from where the golden radiance was coming.
That place was a little high and after Ye Xiao reached there, he discovered that it was the perfect place to hide.
Then he looked in front of him and saw a brick bathing in golden radiance.
"A brick? Really?"
"Is this the treasure that these peoples are fighting for?" Ye Xiao was unable to understand but at this place, other than this golden brick, he did not find anything else that can attract his attention or can be considered a treasure.
Heh, there is not much time. I will first take away this brick!
Ye Xiao arrived in front of the brick and caught it in his hand.
The moment he caught the brick, Ye Xiao felt immense pain in his hand. He hurriedly retracted his hand back and saw that his hand was swollen red.
This really is no ordinary thing!
Ye Xiao exclaimed in his heart.
"Dragon's Claw!"
He instantly transformed his hands into the dragon's claws, and then he once again extended his hand and caught the golden brick that was emitting out golden radiance.
Although his hands were now transformed into the dragon's claws, he still felt a tingling sensation coming from his hands.
He felt as if the brick wanted to break free from his hands. He did not want to let the brick break-free so without wasting any more time, he covered it with his spiritual sense and tried to store it in his spatial ring but to his surprise, he was unable to keep it in the spatial ring.
"What?"
"What is going on?"
"Why can't I keep it in the spatial ring?"
Ye Xiao was shocked to see that he was unable to store the brick in his spatial ring.
.....
Boom!
Bang!
On the other side, explosions continue to echo as the experts from the three great families were fighting and killing one another.
"First Elder, why don't you give up? If you give up on the treasure, not only we don't have to fight anymore, you will able to save the lives of other members of your Wang Family."
It was the Second Elder of the Ma Family who said this.
"Humph! Shameless! If you have the guts then fight with me one on one!" The First Elder of the Wang Family shouted in anger.
If the Second Elder of the Ma Family were to fight him alone, the second elder of the Ma Family will never be able to defeat him but the situation here was different. The Second Elder of the Ma Family partied-up with the middle-aged man of the Zhang Family with him.
And the middle-aged lady of the Zhang Family was fighting against the younger brother of the current patriarch of the Wang Family while they both were also stopping Ma Bao from getting near the treasure.
These six people were fighting and stopping one another from getting near the treasure, and this also gave Ye Xiao enough time to go near the treasure without being discovered by anyone.
.....
Ye Xiao tried many times to store the golden brick in the spatial ring but every time, he failed.
"I don't believe that I can not take you away with me!" Ye Xiao muttered in his heart and directly stored the golden brick on the first floor of the Nine Story Pagoda. This time, she successfully stored it.
"Woah! This damn brick is stored in the Nine Story Pagoda then why exactly did It was not being stored in the spatial ring?"
Ye Xiao could not understand the reason so he shook it off from his head and cautiously looked at the martial artists who were still busy among themselves.
"I can not stay here for long otherwise I will be discovered by them and if I were to really be discovered by these people, I don't know what they will do to me. So, I should leave before anyone sees me!"
I have to leave.
Ye Xiao thought and started to go back silently. Soon, he walked to the place where he first appeared after exiting the dark tunnel.
"Who is it?"
"Who took the treasure?"
Before Ye Xiao could enter into the dark tunnel again to leave from here, a loud sound echoed throughout that place and everyone's attention was attracted by that shout.
Shit! I have to hurry and leave.
Ye Xiao speeds up but just as he was about to take his first step in the dark tunnel again, a burly middle-aged man's gaze fell upon him, and just like that, he was discovered by a member of one of three great families.
"Stop there!"
That burly middle-aged man shouted at Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao stopped in his track as he heard that the voice was coming from his back.
He slowly turned back and saw a middle-aged man who was wearing a white robe with a red circular type symbol hanging on his chest.
A member of the Zhang Family!
Ye Xiao immediately recognized him as a member of the Zhang Family after seeing his clothes. When he looked at this burly middle-aged man, Ye Xiao remembered that he had seen him in the forest of the Hundred Mountain Range. This burly middle-aged man was actually the big brother of Zhang San of the Zhang Family.
"Who are you and how did you get here?" The burly middle-aged man again shouted in loud voice and attracted the attention of the peoples nearby.
"I... I'm Ye Xiao!" Ye Xiao was first shocked but then again he hurriedly calmed his heart and replied.
He never thought that he would be caught at this time.
Soon, more and more members of the three big families started to gather.
"Looks like you all are busy! I will not disturb you all so... goodbye!"
Ye Xiao wanted to escape from here before the arrival of six Martial Emperor Realm martial artists but his luck was really poor at this time.
"Who told you that you can go?"
A cold voice sounded from the air and then a cold-looking young man descended from the sky in front of him.
He looked at Ye Xiao as if he was looking at an ant.
Ye Xiao can easily feel and see the disdain in the eyes of this cold-looking young man.
This cold-looking was Ma Bao, a genius of the Ma Family as well as the number one core disciple of the Thunder Cloud Sect. He was also known as the number one genius of the Southwood City and number two genius of the entire Golden Fragrance Country.
As the number one genius of the Southwood City and number two genius of the entire Golden Fragrance Country, how can Ma Bao be not arrogant?
Ye Xiao became very nervous as his heartbeat grew louder and louder.
Calm down! Calm down!
He inhaled a long breath of air and calmed himself down.
"How did you get here?" Ma Bao asked coldly. His aura also exploded, pressing down his surrounding.
Ye Xiao felt as if someone has placed a very heavy mountain on him. His body grew heavy and he felt like kneeling. His entire body was trembling because of the pressure that Ma Bao was emitting out.
Surrounding people were also feeling the pressure but their condition was much better than Ye Xiao after all they were not the ones being targeted by Ma Bao.
Ye Xiao clenched his fist and managed to hold himself back from kneeling down. Ma Bao saw that Ye Xiao was still not kneeling, he increased the pressure.
Ka-rk!
A cracking sound came from Ye Xiao's body but he still holds himself back and did not kneel.
At this moment, Ye Xiao felt a warm sensation in his mouth.
Blood leaked out from the corner of his mouth.
At this time, many scenes began to display in Ye Xiao's mind. He saw his childhood before he met the Fifth Elder Ye Fan of the Silver Moon Sect. At that time, he did not even have a name. Those days were the worse days of his life.
But then the Fifth Elder Ye Fan of the Silver Moon Sect came into his life and gave him the happiest memories of his childhood.
