"What… What is this?" Xiao Zhan asked in disbelief, his eyes brimming with shock and curiosity.
Xiao Yan smiled faintly, feeling the changes in his body. With confidence, he said, "Father, this is the power that master has bestowed upon me. He sees our every move."
"Oh my…"
Xiao Zhan was utterly stunned, filled with admiration and awe at the mysterious master's abilities.
As he gazed at Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan realized deeply that his son was no longer the frail boy he remembered. Instead, he had become a chosen one, aided by a powerful master.
Seeing his father's expression, Xiao Yan spoke firmly, "Father, do you believe me now? That master has accepted me as his disciple. He will not harm me."
Xiao Zhan pondered for a moment before finally deciding, "Alright, I'll help you. We will infiltrate the vaults of both families together."
"Great!" Xiao Yan was overjoyed at having convinced his father.
Xiao Yan then looked intently at his father, confessing, "Father, tonight we won't just be raiding the Oba and Jialie family vaults. We also need to take from the Xiao family's vault. If we only rob the other two families, but nothing happens to the Xiao family, it will surely arouse suspicion."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan frowned slightly, surprised at his son's maturity. He couldn't help but marvel at how resourceful and decisive Xiao Yan had become.
After a brief silence, he nodded. "Fine, we'll do as you say."
The father and son continued to discuss the details of their plan.
As night fell, Xiao Zhan discreetly instructed his trusted subordinates to retrieve all the valuable items from the Xiao family's vault and handed them to Xiao Yan for safekeeping.
Soon after, Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan silently left the Xiao residence, heading toward the Oba and Jialie families.
Under the cover of darkness, the Oba family's vault appeared quiet and mysterious, with tight security all around.
Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan moved stealthily, relying on their perfect synchronization and Xiao Zhan's experience. They easily bypassed the guards and arrived at the entrance of the vault.
Standing before the massive door, Xiao Zhan frowned and whispered to Xiao Yan, "The door is sealed. We need to figure out a way inside."
His expression was somewhat troubled, knowing that forcing the door open would attract the guards' attention.
At that moment, Yao Lao, observing from within, spoke to Xiao Yan, "Don't worry, leave it to me."
Yao Lao then merged with Xiao Yan, gathering his soul energy to cloak them and mask their presence. He continued using his soul power to examine the vault's seal.
Feeling Yao Lao's power, Xiao Yan calmed down and focused on sensing where the seal was most vulnerable.
With Yao Lao's efforts, the seal gradually dissipated, and the door slowly creaked open.
As the door revealed its contents, they were greeted by a vast array of treasures, far richer than what the Xiao family vault held.
Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan's eyes gleamed with excitement as they stared at the precious items before them.
"Let's move!"
Xiao Yan quickly started gathering the treasures, storing them piece by piece into his spatial ring.
Meanwhile, Xiao Zhan remained alert, ready to leave at a moment's notice.
The two worked seamlessly, and in no time, they completed their raid on the vault.
Once their task was complete, they left swiftly, without the guards ever noticing their presence.
After leaving the Oba family, they proceeded to the Jialie family.
Using the same tactics, they successfully infiltrated the Jialie vault.
Inside, Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan discovered treasures just as bountiful as those of the Oba family, filling them with excitement.
They acted quickly, storing the loot into Xiao Yan's ring and preparing to leave.
However, just as they were about to escape, a sudden chill ran down their spines. Both Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan froze.
Turning around, they saw a formidable expert from the Jialie family approaching them with a group of guards.
The Jialie family expert's face was dark with rage, his piercing gaze locked onto Xiao Yan.
Grinding his teeth, he growled, "You dare break into the Jialie family's vault and steal our treasures! Such audacity! Today, I'll make sure you thieves meet your end, just as I anticipated!"
Xiao Zhan immediately shielded Xiao Yan, frowning slightly but showing no fear. Instead, his face displayed unwavering resolve.
He calmly said, "I'm sorry, we had an urgent matter and accidentally intruded on your territory. We won't stay any longer, and there's no need for conflict. If blood is shed, it won't end well for anyone."
However, the Jialie family expert remained unmoved, his eyes gleaming with a cold light as he stared at Xiao Yan. "An urgent matter? You steal our treasures and call it urgent? Tell me, who sent you here!"
Xiao Yan stood tall, unwavering as he replied, "You want to know? You're not qualified!"
The Jialie family expert's anger flared even more at Xiao Yan's words. With a roar, he shouted, "Arrogant brat! Men, seize them!"
At his command, the Jialie family disciples immediately sprang into action, surrounding Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan shielded Xiao Yan while gathering his Dou Qi, preparing to face the sudden crisis.
A fierce battle broke out as Dou Qi surged through the air, and both sides clashed intensely.
Xiao Zhan found himself fending off the Jialie family expert and the many disciples attacking from all directions. His figure darted through their encirclement, using every ounce of his strength to hold them off.
Though faced with the relentless assault, Xiao Zhan remained composed. He moved with agility, dodging the enemies' attacks while retaliating with swift strikes of his Dou Qi.
"Impudent thief! Die!"
Suddenly, a more powerful Jialie family expert stepped forward, unleashing a blazing Dou Qi and launching a frenzied attack.
Xiao Zhan's expression shifted slightly as he felt the pressure from the opponent, but he did not retreat. Instead, he gathered all his strength and used soft techniques to neutralize the force of the attack.
"This isn't good…"
Seeing his father gradually fall into a disadvantage, Xiao Yan grew increasingly anxious.
Without hesitation, he pulled out a previously refined Exploding Spirit Pill and handed it to Xiao Zhan.
"Father, this is the trump card left to me by the master! Take it now!" Xiao Yan urged.
Xiao Zhan took the pill without delay and swallowed it immediately.
In an instant, a powerful surge of Dou Qi erupted from his body, overwhelming and mountain-like. His body trembled violently as his strength skyrocketed from a five-star Dou Master to the peak of Dou Master!
Xiao Zhan transformed into an unstoppable force, as if a war god had descended, his momentum overwhelming.
The enemies could feel an oppressive force that was impossible to resist.
"Now! Fight our way out!" Xiao Zhan shouted as he swung his sword, charging forward with Xiao Yan by his side.
Together, they were unstoppable, cutting through their enemies with unmatched ferocity.
With Xiao Zhan's newly acquired power, they broke through the Jialie family's defenses and escaped the encirclement in a flash.
