Ouyang Chu Ge and Su Xi soon left the Yuan Manor. On the road, Ouyang Chu Ge couldn't help but look at Su Xi and ask, "Do you really believe Yuan Tiangang can get the Moonlight Stone?"
Having only interacted with Yuan Tiangang for a short while, Ouyang Chu Ge could already tell he was a complete waste. It was impossible for him to obtain the Moonlight Stone. If Su Xi placed all her hopes on him, it would be in vain.
But for a moment, he couldn't figure out Su Xi's purpose in doing this.
Hearing Ouyang Chu Ge's question, Su Xi smiled, her eyes showing a hint of playfulness, "With that fool, it's impossible to get the Moonlight Stone. So, from the bottom of my heart, I never expected him to get the item."
"Hmm?" Hearing Su Xi's words, Ouyang Chu Ge looked confused.
Since she already knew Yuan Tiangang couldn't get the job done, why bother to go through the trouble and waste time?
Su Xi smiled and continued, "I'm only doing this to have him test the waters. After all, you know very well that the Moonlight Stone is not something ordinary people can touch."
Ouyang Chu Ge's expression froze upon hearing Su Xi's words, and soon a smile appeared on his face.
He now understood Su Xi's true intention.
Su Xi wasn't trying to get Yuan Tiangang to do things for her; she just wanted him to attract attention. Once everyone guarding the Moonlight Stone was distracted by the Yuan family, they would have more opportunities.
Moreover, with the Yuan family's strength, it would be much easier for them to inquire about the whereabouts of the Moonlight Stone than for themselves.
However, Ouyang Chu Ge's face showed doubt, and he looked at Su Xi uncertainly, "Are you sure the Yuan family will agree?"
From what he understood on the road, the Yuan family was one of the four great families with a deep foundation. Although they were in decline, they weren't easily manipulated.
The Yuan family would surely have experts, and those people would not tolerate their own being disrupted.
Su Xi shook her head, "I believe that useless Yuan Tiangang will definitely do it."
She understood that these rich idlers cared a lot about their pride. If their families found out they had lost face, it would surely lead to dissatisfaction. Moreover, Yuan Tiangang wanted to inherit the Yuan family, so he would be even less likely to let anyone know about his embarrassing actions.
Besides, to survive, Yuan Tiangang would act quickly.
After hearing Su Xi's analysis, Ouyang Chu Ge nodded, realizing that humans indeed loved to play such games.
Having figured it all out, Ouyang Chu Ge looked at Su Xi and asked, "When do you plan to make your move?"
Hearing Ouyang Chu Ge's question, Su Xi replied, "Don't worry, I've already made all the arrangements."
While talking, she had already placed a miniature camera inside the pill. So, even though she wasn't at the Yuan Manor, she could clearly know everything that was happening.
As soon as Yuan Tiangang made a move, she would know immediately.
Ouyang Chu Ge saw the tablet in Su Xi's hand, which clearly displayed Yuan Tiangang's information, and was so surprised his eyeballs almost popped out. How did Su Xi achieve such sophisticated methods?
These methods might not even be possible for cultivators in the Mahayana stage.
Su Xi sensed Ouyang Chu Ge's surprise, gave him a playful glance, and didn't bother to explain.
The more mysterious she appeared now, the less Ouyang Chu Ge would dare to act rashly, and the easier it would be to accuse him later.
In the screen, Yuan Tiangang, just as Su Xi predicted, began to act soon.
Knowing what Yuan Tiangang intended to do, Su Xi naturally didn't want to waste time.
While Yuan Tiangang was making his move, she quietly followed him.
As a member of the Yuan family, Yuan Tiangang, though his personal strength was mediocre, found it easy to gather information.
After obtaining this information, Yuan Tiangang directly led his men towards the place where the Moonlight Stone was located.
At this point, he no longer cared about the consequences, only about when he could get the Moonlight Stone. Moreover, he knew that as a member of the Yuan family, it wouldn't be a big deal even if he was discovered.
Besides, the Moonlight Stone was something Su Xi had requested, so it absolutely could not be missing. If he didn't have the Moonlight Stone, his life would be forfeit.
Living was more important than anything else.
According to the information gathered by the people he had sent out, these items were placed in an inconspicuous small courtyard not far from the teleportation array.
Seeing such a hidden courtyard, Su Xi's eyes instantly showed surprise.
She admired the ingenuity of these people, who were so aware of potential threats.
The Moonlight Stone and the teleportation array were separated. By only sending the Moonlight Stone when needed, no one would know its location, thus maximizing its security.
However, after carefully observing the surrounding environment, Su Xi's eyes suddenly became serious, as if she had realized something was amiss.
It wasn't for any other reason than the environment being too unusual.
There was no one guarding the place where the Moonlight Stone was located. The fact that even someone of Yuan Tiangang's caliber could find this place was indeed strange.
Even with the Yuan family's strength, it shouldn't have been this easy.
When things are abnormal, there must be a reason. This place was definitely not as simple as it appeared.
Since she knew the place was abnormal, Su Xi naturally wouldn't walk into a trap. She decisively chose to wait and see. No matter what was outside, she only needed to get the Moonlight Stone, and she didn't care about anything else.
Yuan Tiangang, unaware of this change, was ecstatic upon seeing no guards and rushed in with his men.
The sooner he got the Moonlight Stone, the sooner he could find relief.
"You guys go in immediately and find the Moonlight Stone. Remember, leave no traces," Yuan Tiangang excitedly ordered.
This Moonlight Stone belonged to the City Lord's Mansion, so even with the Yuan family's vast resources, they couldn't afford to be careless.
Only by covering up all the traces could they avoid being implicated.
"Yes." The subordinates, hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, all nodded.
They had committed many acts of murder and robbery, and they didn't mind doing a few more. Now, it was just stealing something, which was even easier.
Seeing Yuan Tiangang and his group approaching the small courtyard, Su Xi looked at Ouyang Chu Ge beside her and asked doubtfully, "Did you notice anything unusual?"
As a human, her thinking might be limited. As a demon, Ouyang Chu Ge might realize different issues.
Hearing Su Xi's question, Ouyang Chu Ge looked forward, contemplating whether everything was real or fake.
After all, everything seemed so natural.
After careful consideration, Ouyang Chu Ge said, "This place is definitely not as simple as it looks."
Su Xi rolled her eyes.
Was he here just to tell her useless things?
She hadn't learned other habits of humans, but she had learned the art of stating the obvious quite quickly.
After silently complaining about Ouyang Chu Ge, Su Xi couldn't help but ask, "Stop talking like an expert and stating the obvious. Can you explain the situation more clearly?"
Hearing this, Ouyang Chu Ge nodded. Surprisingly, he didn't argue with Su Xi this time and continued, "There appears to be no problem now, but in reality, it's already fraught with danger."
Ouyang Chu Ge didn't even get to finish his sentence.
Because screams of Yuan Tiangang and his group could already be heard from the front, clearly confirming his words.
"Not good, we've been ambushed," Su Xi exclaimed, hearing a series of screams.
"Bold thieves, how dare you steal here! Now die!" Following a roar, a blinding light erupted in the originally dark sky.
Within the light, many animal patterns materialized. Tigers, lions, elephants...
All sorts of creatures appeared before Su Xi's eyes, making her dizzy, as if she had arrived at a zoo.
The appearance of each animal brought with it a thunderous roar, causing everything to bear immense pressure.
Seeing the magnificent patterns before him, Yuan Tiangang's face turned pale, and he said in disbelief, "How could this be? There's actually a Hundred Beasts Formation here."
The Hundred Beasts Formation, as the name suggests, possesses the power of a hundred beasts. Everyone within the formation would suffer the crushing power and eventually become essence, being absorbed.
As long as someone trespassed, they would be absorbed by the formation, so theoretically, the formation was self-sustaining.
When Yuan Tiangang was very young, he had witnessed the ferocity of the Hundred Beasts Formation. At that time, many Nascent Soul cultivators had been annihilated by the formation. It was precisely because he had witnessed this scene that he became worried and didn't know what to do.
At this moment, his cultivation was not enough for him to handle this matter, so he had no need to experience these troubles.
"No, I'm from the Yuan family, you absolutely cannot kill me like this," Yuan Tiangang cried out, trying to buy himself a sliver of hope.
At this point, the most important thing for him was not to conceal his identity, but to avoid dying so quickly.
Now that he had been discovered, he might suffer harm, but if his life could be spared, it would be worth it.
Unfortunately, Yuan Tiangang's desperate cries were met with no response. He was ultimately stomped flat by the elephant pattern and crushed into human jerky.
After everyone was eliminated, everything returned to its previous peaceful state, as if nothing had ever happened.
As the place was very remote, there was no response from the surroundings.
Seeing this, Su Xi swallowed hard.
Fortunately, she had sent someone to investigate first. Otherwise, if she had accidentally walked into such a powerful formation, she would have died without a burial place.
Although she felt fortunate, Su Xi also knew very well that no matter what lay ahead, whether it was a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, she had to press on.
Seeing Su Xi's movement, Ouyang Chu Ge beside her couldn't help but stop her, "What are you doing?"
If they went now, they would clearly be surrounded by the Hundred Beasts Formation. With their strength, it would be impossible to escape from the Hundred Beasts Formation.
Such a powerful formation truly needed no guards; it only needed to be left alone.
Hearing Ouyang Chu Ge's words, Su Xi smiled and shook her head, looking at Ouyang Chu Ge beside her and replying, "Don't rush. I already know how to break this formation."
"What?"
Ouyang Chu Ge looked at Su Xi, full of disbelief.
So quickly? And Su Xi hadn't even approached the formation yet. How could she know the method to break it?
Ouyang Chu Ge expressed his deep suspicion of Su Xi's words.
