This Void Devouring Flame seems a bit strange

"Yes." Xuwu Tunyan said with an "innocent" look on his face: "I just asked the two of them to be witnesses. Now that they have said in person that it has nothing to do with me, then it definitely has nothing to do with me."

Xiao Yan on the side almost couldn't help laughing. Although anyone could see that he was talking nonsense, the Great Elder couldn't blame him.

Xiao Xun'er looked at Void Devouring Flame with strange eyes. The teleportation just now was definitely not something that an ordinary person could do. A person with such strength had such a weird personality. Although Ling Ying's previous inquiries had made her let down her guard against Void Devouring Flame, Xiao Xun'er always had a weird feeling every time she saw him. Even the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame in her body seemed to be moving strangely.

"Mr. Xu Yan, aren't you going too far?" The Great Elder was a little annoyed. "Is it fun for you to pester me like this? You are not the kind of unreasonable person. Our Xiao family did not help the Yunlan Sect to target you during the conflict between you and the Yunlan Sect. Now we are indeed in trouble because of this. Don't you want to help?"

"Great Elder!" Xiao Zhan slammed the table heavily, "Please be careful with your words! Is this the tone you should use when asking for help?!"

"This..." The Great Elder knew that he was a bit too impatient, so he had to shut up. Seeing that Xuwu Tunyan was stubborn and refused to listen (in fact, there was no way to make him accept any hardship), he probably couldn't defraud any money. Now he could only hope that Xiao Ning could successfully steal the money.

At this time, more than a dozen people had gathered near Yu Xiao's home. They covered their mouths and noses with wet cloth and held bundles of sticks in their hands.

Yu Xiao was unaware of this. She was practicing the music score given to her by Xuwu Tunyan over and over again in the house.

"The moment I packed my bags and left home, I realized that real life has too many special features..."

This group of people came here specifically, of course, not to listen to Yu Xiao practice singing, because they all came here to "get rich" by following Young Master Xiao Ning.

"This servant is so lucky! Not only was he favored by that master, but he also got so much money for free. Oh, if only I had this luck..."

"Come on, look at you, you are not even qualified to be someone's concubine. Besides, how do you know that the gentleman didn't buy her for some other purpose?"

"Master Xiao Ning, shall we take action now?" The person who spoke was called Xiao Ke, one of Xiao Ning's close brothers.

"Well, Xu Yan is currently staying at the Xiao family and can't get away for a while. Now is the best time for us to take action!" Xiao Ning said, and then he waved his hand, "Go!"

"Okay!" With Xiao Ning's order, a large amount of "Soul-Drunken Cigarettes" were lit and thrown into Yu Xiao's house through the window.

"I am silent sometimes, but I am also brave and persistent... Eh? What is this?" Yu Xiao was singing excitedly when she suddenly found a bunch of lit incense thrown in. Before she could react, the fragrance penetrated her nose. Yu Xiao then felt powerless all over and fell limply to the ground.

"It's done!" Xiao Ning, who was not far away, was overjoyed and quickly waved to the younger brother behind him, "What are you still standing there for? Get ready and follow me into the house!"

A group of people quickly covered their mouths and noses with wet cloths, followed Xiao Ning in, and began to rummage through Yu Xiao's house.

"Hurry! We must dig the ground three feet deep to find the gold card!" Xiao Ning's face was filled with ecstasy. As long as he got the gold card, he would have the opportunity to become a fighter or even a master fighter. By then, he would be able to trample Xiao Yan under his feet in one fell swoop, and even drive Xiao Zhan's faction out of the Xiao family. By then, would Xiao Xun'er still be able to refuse him?

Just as everyone was busy, Xiao Ke came running over with a pendant, "Master Xiao Ning, look at this pendant! It's obviously a good thing!"

"What are you looking for this kind of messy stuff for..." Although Xiao Ning muttered in dissatisfaction, his hand still honestly took the pendant. At this moment, something unexpected happened. Tiny black flames emerged from the pendant, and these flames gradually formed a faint shadow.

"What the hell is this?!" Xiao Ning's face changed. He had heard of some legends that some powerful people could store their souls in certain objects, and once they were touched by someone, they would appear from them. Could this be something Xu Yan had arranged in advance?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ning felt a sense of panic for no reason. If that was really Xu Yan's back-up plan, then wouldn't it be...

But Xiao Ning was unwilling to give up so easily. That was 500,000 gold coins. If he missed this opportunity, it would be extremely difficult to get such an opportunity in the future. Not to mention the younger brothers around him. He had promised them benefits before bringing them here. If he gave the order now, it would be a big blow to his prestige.

However, what happened next made Xiao Ning realize that the plan of "luring the tiger away from the mountain" that they had been thinking so hard about and thought was foolproof was actually extremely ridiculous.

The shadow formed by the flame gradually turned into a human shape. When it was fully formed, Void Devouring Flame, who was far away in the Xiao family's meeting hall, also felt some kind of induction. This was the "defense program" he had previously placed in the pendant he gave to Yu Xiao. Once any accident occurred, it would be triggered automatically, and he would sense it immediately.

With the help of this perception, Xuwu Tunyan also saw this scene in Yu Xiao's home.

"You thieves, you are so bold to do this kind of thing right under my nose!" Shadow roared. Fortunately, he had been on guard before. If he had let them succeed, not only would the money be stolen, but Yu Xiao might also suffer the consequences.

Xiao Ning and the others were frightened by the roar. Xiao Ning was the first to react. He knew that the plan of stealing this time was a failure. "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Get out of here!"

"Want to leave?" The shadow sneered and pointed with his right hand seemingly lightly. Xiao Ning suddenly felt as if a thousand-pound rock was pressing on his back. The enormous pressure pressed them all to the ground, making them unable to move. Not to mention running, they couldn't even crawl half a meter.

After subduing Xiao Ning and the others, the shadow quickly flew towards Yu Xiao who was lying on the ground. A tiny black flame entered her mouth and traveled through her meridians, burning all the remaining drugs. Fortunately, she was not seriously injured.

On the other side, Xuwu Tunyan began to stare at the Great Elder with a playful expression. The Great Elder felt a little scared by his stare. Could something have happened to Xiao Ning?

"Great Elder, your face doesn't look right." Void Tunyan said seemingly unintentionally.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the Great Elder, and upon seeing this, the Great Elder quickly pretended to be calm: "No, no, I was just a little excited just now."

"Oh, that's good, but I still have a question." Seeing the expression of the great elder, Xuwu Tunyan basically guessed the general idea, "There seems to be fewer people in this meeting room than before?"

As Xuwu Tunyan finished speaking, even though the Great Elder had made sufficient mental preparations, a few drops of sweat still flowed down from his skin honestly, and Xiao Zhan also looked at the Great Elder with a strange look.

"That's impossible. There are so many people here. It's normal that just a few are missing." The Great Elder answered quickly.

"Well, you are right." Just when the great elder breathed a sigh of relief, Xuwu Tunyan immediately said, "But why didn't the young man named Xiao Ning beside you show up?"

For a moment, the Great Elder almost thought he was going to fall off the chair, but reason still took over temporarily: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Xu Yan. Ning'er is practicing hard in the room. I didn't have the heart to interrupt him, so I didn't notify him to come."

Some members of the Xiao family had already shown suspicion. The three elders and the clan leader were all present at the meeting. Even if he was the grandson of the great elder, there was no reason for him not to come just because of hard training, right? But after all, they did not have such a high status, so they could only suspect it. If they really asked them to question it, they would naturally not dare to do so.

"Oh, in that case, I feel relieved. Those thieves who appeared in Xiaoxiao's house should be sent by other families." Xuwu Tunyan said, taking out the recording crystal, and what was being projected on it was the scene in Yu Xiao's home.

Although these people had their faces covered with cloth, the Great Elder already understood that these people must be Xiao Ning and his younger brothers.

Seeing the people in the crystal being pinned to the ground and unable to move, the last glimmer of hope in the Great Elder's heart was shattered. He knew that he had lost miserably this time.

Xiao Zhan stood up suddenly. As things had developed to this point, he guessed something. He then turned to the great elder beside him and said, "Great elder, call Xiao Ning over immediately!" The second and third elders, who had always been at odds with Xiao Zhan, consciously did not refute him at this time. They knew that if they refuted Xiao Zhan at this moment, they would really be asking for trouble.
