Feng Xian was one of the upper echelons in the clan so when he was assigned to guard Feng Wan he was naturally disgruntled, but he didn't dare show it on his face as she was the daughter of the clan leader.
So when she ran away from home because she refused to be engaged to Lin Fan, who was now known as a prodigy who was both righteous and powerful, his opinion of her only lessened, he was even more distressed that a 'mighty' 9th stage Qi Refiner like him had to guard a little girl.
When she ran into the Mountain Range, he felt a headache coming on, by using the trees and the densely covered forest floor as cover, she lost his tracks, he was panicking of course as even though he definitely wouldn't be killed as the clans need all the manpower they have to defend against the other clans, he would be punished severely.
He was joyous when he saw the flare but was also cautious as she was probably in danger, he quickly made his way there in fear that she might be hurt, when he arrived at the scene, he was flabbergasted, he nearly vomited in disgust but then grabbed the young lady and ran.
In his panic he forgot to apprehend the villains, who woke up shortly after and were confused but then hurriedly ran off. Feng Xian made his way to the Manor of the clan and reported the situation to the clan leader who burst out in anger!
He hoped that the news wouldn't spread but cursed so loud the whole clan heard him when literally every commoner was gossiping about it, the Yang Clan also didn't miss out on the chance to degrade another clan.
As three opposing clans they obviously had spies in each others clans who reported the situation wholeheartedly to their leaders. This was how everyone knew that Feng Wan was beaten severely many times and she even attempted suicide.
Feng Xian reported the whole situation to the clan leader but he was wise and didn't punish Feng Xian and instead took his anger out on Feng Wan, he also learned the whole situation from her and vowed to hunt down the man who knocked her out.
Each clan had engagements with each other but the Lin and Feng Clan had a major engagement with Lin Fan being engaged with Feng Wan, so this matter lost both clans a lot of face.
The Three Evils of the Mountain were dumbfounded when they learnt the situation from the adventurers they robbed, they called each other Fatty 1, Fatty 2 and Fatty 3, "Fatty 1, what should we do? That despicable senior set us up!" Fatty 3 said with despair on his face, he was the most furious as his storage ring had much more treasures than the other 2.
Fatty 1's eyes were gloomy as he dully replied, "What else can we do? Both of those clans will definitely use all their manpower to get us!" he said with the same despair, Fatty 2 on the other hand looked enlightened and joyfully said, "What do you mean they'll come for us? This is our home turf, they can't do shit!"
The faces of the other two visibly brightened up as they gained newfound courage from his statement, they ruthlessly smiled, "We'll show them why we are the three evils of the 'CloudSoaring Mountain Range!'" as they planned to use some despicable tricks.
Yang Fan was hiding out in an Inn and when he saw that two families would be sending out most of their manpower, he grinned, he obviously wouldn't be fazed just because he travelled to a different world.
He only did something so crude to benefit him, he also made Lin Fan lose a lot of face, he wouldn't be suspicious and just nock it up to a butterfly effect of his family having those pills and him being a genius instead of the trash he was before.
Yes, that's right, he planned to steal the resources of all three clans and if he could, the heavenly dragon sect as well, he got to work immediately after he heard the news as he knew they would struggle as the Mountain Range was the home of the Three Evils.
He used his secret channels to spread rumours that the Feng Clan had a secret treasure that would bring someone's cultivation up to core formation realm, with this the half dead fogey in the sect would come out, the defences and formations used by the Feng family should block him for a while.
The only reason why such a thing happened was because normal cultivators wouldn't have the guts to do something so astonishing, they all believed that they would get stronger, then be strong enough to take the resources of them, foolish idiots was what Yang Fan thought of them.
The Yang and Lin Clan sent their forces over, they completely disregarded the marriage agreement as they would rule the city if they were in that realm, "Feng Clan, we know you have the treasure, give it to me and this will all end peacefully, if not, don't blame me for being ruthless!" The new Yang Clan leader who was formerly the strongest clan elder.
All the clans were already in the know about the situation but wished they knew earlier so they could strike while everything was in disorder, as for the commoners, they were told that he went into seclusion and gave his position up, they were also told Yang Fan died in the CloudSoaring Mountain Range by a fierce 9th rank demonic beast.
The Yang Clan had the most manpower as the other clans desperately tried to save their face, this completely backfired on them as they lost many men due to the tricks of the evils and now they were being suppressed.
"What the fuck are you talking about? And what gave you the guts to act all high and mighty in my territory! You fake clan leader!" he arrogantly replied, jabbing at his soft spot.
"Stop faking it! We know you have a treasure to reach core formation realm!" The Feng Clan leader was astonished and explained his innocence, the others weren't buying it.
"Maybe this is a diversion?" muttered the Yang Clan strategist but everyone heard it and as a look of realisation came upon them, the Yang Clan's leader was informed through his message pendant that their treasury was ransacked!
Not only that, but the Thief killed a few of their men and wrote the words YANG FAN in their blood and body parts, the message pendant didn't have any forms to hide the message so everyone heard loud and clear, the Yang Clan leader was fuming, the Lin Clan leader was neutral, while the Feng Clan leader was laughing.
"You know what they say, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!" Yang Gongming didn't have time to deal with the humiliation and ordered, "Lockdown the entire clan!" and ran towards the clan, the others followed in glee and were prepared to gain some benefits.
The other clans were joyful until a voice spread throughout the surroundings, it wasn't loud but everyone heard it, "Which one of you is Feng Yanfei!" his aged voice rang out, "Senior it is I!" he respectfully replied, to become a clan leader, he had to be able to adapt to the situation.
"Give me the treasure." The voice rang out once more and Feng Yanfei felt compelled to give him the treasure he didn't have until he regained his senses and respectfully explained the situation to Bai Sheng, the grand elder of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, he wasn't even on the level of his ancestor, he was only at the 5th level of foundation so he was trying to lick his boots as well.
Because of the arrival of him, no one else could move, the Yang Clan were most distressed as they needed to catch the person who stole from their treasury. Bai Sheng was becoming hysterical as reaching core formation was the only way to extend his lifespan! "N-no! Y-you must be lying! Yes! That's it! You're lying! Give me your storage ring!"
Feng Yanfei's face darkened at that, after all searching someone's storage ring was forbidden, this was an unwritten rule in the cultivation circle, many would rather destroy their storage ring than let others see it.
While the clans were busy with their family issues, Yang Fan decided to steal from the Heavenly Dragon Sect, he had got plenty of resources from the Yang Clan and wasn't satisfied, the Heavenly Dragon Sect was a paper tiger and only had the grand elder holding up the Fort, their sect leader is only at the 3rd level of the foundation building realm, nearly as weak as one of the two City guards who guard the gate.
His stealth skills were glorious as he stole many things and then went to the cultivation tower, the core was a high grade spirit stone which was basically currency in this world, from what he knew there were low, mid, high and supreme grades, his whole clan only had 10 low grade spirit stones so they probably got the high grade spirit stone from a lucky encounter.
The formation blocking it was very simple and Yang Fan found it easy to hack as it was similar to a firewall, he was very good at programming and hacking as who said he only had to steal physical things, he repeatedly stole government secrets, "Hmmm? If all formations follow this pattern... Hehehehehe!"
The master of the current grand elder was the sect founder, it was said that he wasn't from here, so I hopefully searched for a map and wasn't suprised when I was told this place truly was a backwater city, I stole everything good and devoured what I didn't need then made my way to the other clans, I used my knockout gas to deal with the whole sect so I still had time to ransack the last two clans.
As Feng Yanfei was getting ready to summon his ancestor, the cloudy eyes of the grand elder regained clarity and he instead turned furious, "Who the fuck has the guts to steal from my Heavenly Dragon Sect!" the others were shocked by his outburst but then were astonished by the content of his words.
The Lin and Feng Clans quickly regrouped themselves and ran back to their clans in fear the situation may occur to them as well, after all, even Heavenly Dragon Sect was stolen from!
They were too late however as the news that the four strongest organisations were stolen from in a span of 2 hours! If the Feng and Lin Clan weren't so arrogant to believe that no one would dare touch their territories and the fact that they thought Yang Fan was only targeting Yang Clan to get revenge, this wouldn't have happened.
Meanwhile, Yang Fan left the manors of both clans the same way he left Harry Winston's Estate, throwing the ring up and down in the air, he discretely left the city and walked in the direction of CloudSoaring Mountain Range, he had a Reincarnator to take care of, he licked his lips as he thought of all the juicy secrets he would get from his soul...
