Chapter 276: Stealing
Chen Fei flashed to the front of the cave and sensed the remaining breath around. The two were indeed somewhat similar to the breath left in Moyang Villa.
If there was no black line in Chen Fei's hand, I would probably think that the two belonged to the same person. But why is there a similar breath here?
If it was a thief, whose black line was in his hand?
"Has Elder Fang gone in to investigate?" Chen Fei turned his head and looked at Fang Zhehua on the side.
"I have seen it, but the cave is complicated and there are too many forks. If I go in alone, I might scare him away."
Fang Zhehua turned his head to look at Chen Fei and whispered: "Now there are only two of us here, and I will say it clearly. That person sneaked into Moyang Villa and must have stolen a lot of things, otherwise it would not be enough to alarm Xianyun Sword Sect."
Chen Fei nodded and agreed with this point of view. After all, if it was just a small loss, Moyang Villa would probably suppress the matter directly.
After all, reporting to the sect is equivalent to exposing the matter, and the sect will think that you are not doing a good job. Therefore, if it is not a last resort, it will definitely be covered up and not reported.
Only when it is really impossible to cover it up in the end, and the situation will become more serious if it is delayed, it may be reported.
"Qingyang grass and blood snake are valuable, and I have never thought of taking them all by myself. But I discovered this first, so if there is a real gain later, I must take the lion's share." Fang Zhehua stared at Chen Fei's eyes and said in a deep voice.
Chen Fei was stunned. He didn't expect Fang Zhehua to say this, but he still nodded and said, "Of course, if there is a real gain later, Elder Fang can take 70% directly, how about it?"
Chen Fei directly gave Fang Zhehua enough face. The Xianyun Sword Sect would not care about the gains from this kind of mission, and Moyang Villa could not pursue it, so it naturally belonged to the missioner.
Blood snake and Qingyang grass are valuable, Fang Zhehua made it clear, and Chen Fei had no objection.
For most people who are in the early stage of the training realm, this is a considerable gain, and it is helpful for their own cultivation in the future.
But the resources Chen Fei has obtained in a month can open two acupoints, and the blood snake and Qingyang grass are dispensable. Of course, in order to appear normal, he still has to collect some, otherwise it will seem too weird.
After all, people who have just entered the training realm are most concerned about various cultivation resources.
"Okay! Now let's go in together, each of us will explore a few sections, no matter how complicated it is, it can't escape our grasp!"
Seeing Chen Fei so sensible, Fang Zhehua couldn't help but smile.
"Elder Fang, please!" Chen Fei smiled and said with a slight bend in his right hand.
Fang Zhehua nodded and flashed into the cave. Chen Fei watched Fang Zhehua's figure disappear, looked up at the distance, and also stepped into the cave.
There is indeed a different world in the cave, with many forks and many paths leading in all directions, proving that what Fang Zhehua said is true. At this moment, Fang Zhehua had already found a fork in the road and rushed inside.
Chen Fei dispersed his spiritual power and found some traces of formations, but now the formations have been dismantled, and it is hard to tell what formations were set up before.
However, it is somewhat difficult for a person in the practice of Zang realm to set up a formation.
Chen Fei frowned slightly, walked on the fork in the road, sensed the situation around him, and was not in a hurry to find the thief. Now there are many things that Chen Fei can't figure out, so he might as well take this time to sort them out.
"Tick-tick!"
The water drops on the cave fell on the ground, making a sound. Chen Fei went through all the things that happened before and after today in his mind, and his eyes gradually brightened.
"Bang!"
The whole cave suddenly trembled, Chen Fei paused, his figure flashed, and returned to the original entrance of the cave. But in a moment, Fang Zhehua appeared in front of Chen Fei with a figure in his hand.
"I caught him, but there's not much left. He ate most of it!" Fang Zhehua looked gloomy and threw the figure in his hand to the ground.
Chen Fei sensed the breath of the man on the ground, which had nothing to do with the black line in his sleeve. It can only be said that the breath of the two is indeed very similar.
"It's good to be able to complete the task."
Chen Fei did not mention the remaining things. Seeing that Chen Fei did not ask, Fang Zhehua's anger on his face subsided a little, and he grabbed the man's neck again and walked out of the cave.
Chen Fei followed behind without moving his expression. In less than a quarter of an hour, Chen Fei and the others returned to Moyang Villa, and Qian Jianlong hurried out to greet them.
"Master Qian, see if it's this person."
With a muffled sound, Fang Zhehua threw the man on the ground, and Qian Jianlong stepped forward to check, and at the same time asked the guards who were patrolling at the time to come and identify him. After a busy period, it was finally confirmed that the captured person was indeed the black shadow that appeared that night.
Chen Fei stood aside, watching these people busying around, without saying much.
"Thank you for your help. We caught the thief right away, so that the villa will not be disturbed anymore." Qian Jianlong smiled and kept bowing to Fang Zhehua and Chen Fei.
"It's mainly Elder Fang's credit. I dare not take credit for it." Chen Fei waved his hand.
Fang Zhehua didn't say anything and accepted the credit. However, the arrest today, from the discovery of the cave to the final arrest, was indeed done by Fang Zhehua alone.
Chen Fei, just walked in the cave for a while, it can be said that he did nothing.
"Although the thief was caught, for the sake of safety, you two still need to stay in the villa for a day." Qian Jianlong said with a smile.
Fang Zhehua and Chen Fei both nodded without objection. This is the task process. It depends on whether there will be other people coming to the villa to steal tonight.
At the same time, Qian Jianlong will interrogate the man on the ground to find out more.
As night fell, Chen Fei sat cross-legged in the room, his whole body's energy flowed, vibrating with the surrounding energy, and pulling the energy into the acupoints.
In recent months, even with the help of elixirs, Chen Fei still practiced this kind of daily practice every day. After all, the energy of heaven and earth is the most fundamental thing.
Even if the elixir contains energy, it is slightly different from the energy of heaven and earth. Chen Fei still hopes that he can get closer to the energy of heaven and earth.
After a while, Chen Fei stopped practicing, opened the window, looked at the bright moon in the night sky, and countless thoughts passed through his mind.
The black line that had been hidden in Chen Fei's hand was trembling slightly at this moment. Obviously, the owner of this breath appeared in Moyang Villa at this moment.
The formation of the villa is now in full operation, and there are two more people in the Lianqiao realm in the villa, but these means did not detect the arrival of the breath.
Combined with what happened today, an answer that is somewhat unlikely, but closest to the truth, was placed in front of Chen Fei.
Stealing while guarding the house!
There is something wrong with Qian Jianlong, the owner of Moyang Villa, and Fang Zhehua, who came to assist in the investigation, also has problems at present.
Is the thief caught today a scapegoat?
At that time, the breath of the black line pointed far away, that is to say, the man was not far from the cave, lurking there. Why lurking, is it because he is worried that the embezzlement will be discovered, and he is ready to kill at any time?
If Chen Fei's reaction at that time was wrong, or there was something else wrong, would that person join Fang Zhehua to attack Chen Fei?
"Now that the Xianyun Sword Sect is unable to split up, the situation here is easily overlooked. However, Qian Jianlong is a direct descendant of the Xianyun Sword Sect, why did he do such a thing? Just because he saw too many blood snakes and Qingyang grass, he couldn't help it?"
Chen Fei frowned slightly and tapped the table with his fingers.
Fang Zhehua's performance today was very normal. He was arrogant and took advantage of his seniority. All these things were in line with his external image. But it was too consistent, and it looked a bit strange.
And Fang Zhehua found the thief too quickly, so quickly that he just wanted to solve the matter quickly.
Of course, if Chen Fei hadn't had the black line in his hand, these anomalies would be easily ignored subconsciously. After all, no one can doubt this and that every day.
Chen Fei also connected everything because of the black line, so he couldn't help but think more.
"It's worth several Lianqiao realms to embezzle together. The loss of blood snakes and Qingyang grass is definitely much more than the account book. As long as Xianyun Sword Sect is free, it will definitely notice the abnormality. Unless they think that Xianyun Sword Sect can't take care of this in the short term?"
Chen Fei's eyes narrowed slightly. Fang Zhehua is from Changhong Sect. Is Changhong Sect going to make any moves? Or is it that Shenyan Sect is going to make any moves and unite with Changhong Sect?
Chen Fei's fingers tapping on the table paused slightly. This association was somewhat irresponsible, after all, there was no evidence at all.
But what if all this was true? If there was really a problem with the Changhong Sect, what would be the impact on the next battle?
What would be the impact on the Yuanchen Sword Sect, and what would be the impact on Chen Fei himself?
Chen Fei's thinking was getting more and more open. When encountering something, he might as well think in the worst direction, so that even if there was an accident, it was within his expectations.
Chen Fei now guessed what would happen if the Changhong Sect really invested in the Shenyan Sect!
But now the first step of these guesses is to confirm whether it was embezzlement!
To confirm Chen Fei's guess, there is actually a very simple verification method, that is, to go to the cave again and see some traces left by the captured thieves in the cave.
Thinking of this, Chen Fei's figure shook slightly, and a phantom walked out of Chen Fei's body. After a moment, the phantom stabilized and turned into Chen Fei's appearance.
When Duntianxing is cultivated to the extreme, that is, the stage of great perfection, it can transform into a clone with three times the strength of the original body. Chen Fei's current Duntianxing cultivation is naturally not yet at the level of great perfection, but he can already transform into a fake body.
However, this fake body has no combat power, but its aura is exactly the same as Chen Fei's. In some occasions, it can be mistaken for the real thing.
Leaving the fake body in the house, Chen Fei restrained his aura, sneaked out of Moyang Villa, and ran towards the cave he found during the day.
