The Divine Thief

Yang Fan had gained much from Zi Shan Wei's devouring method, although it was a bit coarse, and with the assistance of the ring, especially with the assistance of the ring, he modified the technique then incorporated it into his technique, he could now absorb bodies, and purify them!

He felt no discomfort and the technique flowed as naturally as the blood of the test subjects he used to check his technique, he had been in seclusion for 3 days to understand and modify the technique, he wouldn't have bothered to train it if he couldn't purify the bodies.

He decided to live up to his name and attack one of the resource points of the Frozen Azure Sect, the Ice Essence Mound, it was a large scaled resource point, the Sect only had 5 of such points, with his normal techniques, he cleaned out the whole place but then fabricated evidence so it looked like a rival organisation, the Burning Yang Sect, commited it.

He knew that such cases took place quite often but the sects usually only stole small scaled resource points and in rare cases, mid scale ones, he knew that his action could cause a war and was looking forward to reaping souls from them.

He grinned excitedly as he packaged all the Ice Essence Grass and even higher quality Pure Yin Grass that was quite rare on the mountain, the ring had different simulations in different areas so that any resources he took could be kept care of.

All the organisations he stole from recently were too poor or incapable to have resources planted, and even if they managed, the other organisations would quickly suppress them to keep the status quo, Yang Fan let his thoughts wander as he stealthily left with a broad smile on his face knowing his actions would cause a lot of deaths.

Yang Fan previously had a risk of being caught by the Nascent Soul Cultivators, but that chance turned to certainty as he left the formations area, he didn't care as he would have to battle them soon, and he was sure that his actions would result in them delaying their search.

The Qin brothers on the other hand, were carefree, "We've already located that Divine Thief brat, we'll deal with him when we finish up with the 'snacks' here" he proclaimed with his eyes glazed over.

He quickly cut off the communications device then licked his lips lecherously as he gazed at the naked hourglass figure laying beneath him, as he was about to start his enjoyment once again, a female figure rashly barged into his room. "What the fuck are you doing!?!" he roared in rage.

The moment the women entered the room she kowtowed three times and begged pleadingly, "Young Master Qin, please help your humble servant!" Qin Feng lazily glanced and was confused to see Su Yonghuang begging profusely while brazenly showing off her assets seductively.

"Hmmmm?" his face heated up as he looked at her then he arrogantly asked, "Who dares to cause trouble with you while I am here!" Su Yonghuang's eyes brightened at that as she made a sign for the disciple to scram then placed his hands in between her breasts as she whispered lustily into his ear, "Young Master, our age old rivals, Burning Yang Sect, have completely disregarded Young Master's presence!"

She was excited, she would have a chance to obtain some of their resources and get rid of a pest disturbing them! "Fine, I'll handle your trivial affairs." He muttered with his nose pointing towards the sky, "For a price of course." he said as he gazed at her cleavage.

Su Yonghuang thought it was a small price to pay for the benefits, "Of course, anything for Young Master Qin." and immediately started stripping, showing off her well endowed body as Qin Bai Sheng got more and more excited as his arrogant look turned into a lustful one.

The Burning Yang Sect, on the other hand, were panicking, they had never done any such thing and their rivals obviously wouldn't play tricks as they reached some sort of unknown consensus over the years of feuds, the Sect Master was fuming and screamed, "Who the fuck framed me! That bitch Su will definitely seduce the envoy to get back at me!"

Their sect was proud and straightforward, the Frozen Azure Sect, on the other hand was very treacherous and although they hadn't used any underhanded moves as they would not be able to cease the chaos that would erupt in the territories they would gain if they used dirty tricks, they were quite evil.

Qin Feng on the other hand, was more impulsive, it was unknown whether he wanted to show off his strength to Su Yonghuang and impress her, or was quite rational to leave Qin Bai Sheng there to deal with the Divine Thief, but it was more likely the former.

Yang Fan didn't have time to deal with their shit as he had gained a lot of information and used his sensing and eavesdropping skills to learn of their plans, he decided to quickly deal with Qin Feng, then ransack the Frozen Azure Sect and massacre everyone. This was so that no one could notify the duo that left earlier quickly enough.

He knew he absolutely couldn't stop someone from messaging them but he could definitely delay them. Yang Fan knew that they had been searching for them, and had prepared many traps, after all, if you give a formation master time, then you may as well give up.

Yang Fan had been practicing his skills and gained many new abilities after reaching the Half-Step Core Formation, it would originally take much longer but with the resources from the Ice Essence Mound, he managed to break through. He had already realised that it was getting harder to break through, he sighed when he realized he still needed at least 2 months to reach Core Formation.

If the Grand Elder from the Heavenly Dragon Sect were to hear his words, he would surely cough out blood at this statement! He was over a hundred years old and had spent over 70 years trying to reach Core Formation! Yang Fan sensed that one of the so called 'envoys' were on their way there, he was gladdened when he saw that it was only one man and, more so, he was playing with a girl and groping her repeatedly with a lecherous smile on his face.

Yang Fan gazed at him pitifully and mused, 'looks like I will have irresolvable hatred with the Heavenly Devil Sect from now on. He had already noticed when the duo consisting of the Sect Leader and Qin Feng left and had guessed that they were 3/4 of their journey there already.

He activated his formations and watched in slight amusement as the woman beside the man was ripped to shreds while the man had a few superficial cuts on his arm but Yang Fan expected this as the rest of the formations triggered, by the end, the man was severely injured and dishevelled, while howling and cursing.

"Come the fuck out for this daddy if you have the guts! If I don't rip you to shreds then I'm not Qin Bai Sheng!" he roared as the burns, stabs and cuts on his body were starting to stabilise. He brought out a pill from a jade box and, because of him taking the time to warily look around, it was then burnt to a crisp as its medical properties vaporised into thin air.

Yang Fan smiled at the formations use amidst the roars of Qin Bai Sheng and his shoes clicked against the solid concrete ground as he had a long blue trench coat, you just gotta love trench coats! His faint smile that seemed to be visible even under the phantom mask made the situation even more unnerving.

"Y-you! A simple Half-Step Core Formation dares to fuck with me!" he wailed as he dragged his heavily injured body to powerlessly swing towards Yang Fan, he smiled then moved a step back as the hand weakly smacked against the floor.

Qin Bai Sheng was releasing all sorts of profanities from his mouth but when he saw Yang Fan walking steadily towards him he used all his energy to plead and threaten, "Heavenly Devil Sect won't let you off! W-wait! I'll compensate you a lot! My sect wouldn't mind someone of your caliber! S-stop! Please! Aaacccck! Arrghhhh! You'll die sooner or later!"

Yang Fan ignored him and swiftly brought his hand down, he was quite ecstatic! Qin Feng, on the other hand, was shocked and furious, he and his brother were connected through both soul and body! He felt his brother's soul weakening and was angry at whoever caused it to damage his brother's soul to this extent!

Although he treated his brother like a subordinate, that was only his inborn pride, he very much loved his brother and was angry when he came to the conclusion, he never thought to imagine that his brother was actually killed!

This couldn't be blamed on him however, as the inheritance they received was truly low ranked, it obviously couldn't completely connect their body and soul! Qin Feng decided to release all his pent up anger but was suprised to see that instead of an army of disciples, there was the Sect Leader who seemed to be... Inviting them?

Qin Feng got the gist of the whole matter within minutes, from the evidence he was given, it was clear they weren't the culprit, at first, he was angry that someone took him for a fool until he suspiciously gazed at Su Yonghuang, he had rushed here in a hurry after, and didn't even bother to check the resource points! She curiously gazed at him then came to his conclusion and panicked!

She hastily stated, "Young Master, your humble servant naturally wouldn't dare to trick you!" although he reined in his gaze, he was still suspicious, so when the Burning Yang sect leader informed him that his niece came to serve him, he expectantly waited while Su Yonghuang was panicking, cold sweat was flowing down her back as she analysed the current situation.

When his niece arrived, looking even more alluring than Su Yonghuang, she felt drained, she looked down sadly and accepted her fate, so when the Burning Yang Sect Leader offered his niece for Qin Feng to take care of her, she wasn't suprised. They were very blunt people after all.

Qin Feng then gazed regretfully at Su Yonghuang, but then saw the niece of the Burning Yang Sect Leader's figure that was even better, he ruthlessly brought his hand down and killed her, blood splashed all over the table but both of them acted as if it was a simple water spill.

[AN: Looool, RIP to those who thought that bitch would livvveeeee. She's gone, also, if you ever start to wonder how Yang Fan knows so much, he devours souls alright? So he gets all their memories. Don't ask about that in the future please, Itadakimasu.]

Of course, Su Yonghuang could've easily resisted and had a high chance to kill Qin Feng, Heavenly Devil Sects reputation was too fierce! She would definitely be tortured to kingdom come and her family and friends would suffer from the same fate.

Qin Feng knew that it was only because of his background that these people respected him but didn't bother with the little facts and groped all over the woman while taking her to a private room, the Burning Yang Sect Leader sighed in relief at his successful plan while rubbing his hands together as he thought of all those resources.

Little did he know all those resources were being ransacked, he had basically crippled their foundation with all he stole! He took all their large scale resource points, then even stole their only giant scaled resource point, even though it was called that, it was only five fruits known as the Profound Yin Fruits, they were all worth a fortune but Yang Fan packed it into a bag as if they were common fruits.

He cleaned most of the place dry as it wasn't realistic to get everything. "Quick! Call the sect master!" screams rang all over the place as everyone was murdered, regardless of age or gender, Yang Fan didn't even blink as he sliced a woman and her unborn child in half, he moved systematically and killed a three year old next, in his opinion, as long as I reach the top, who cares what things I must do!
