1594.
After exiting the hidden cave, Qin Fang quickly made his way towards the direction of the Five Dragons' Stockade... With his stealth skill, he could easily infiltrate it.
Of course, the premise is that Qin Fang won't be discovered by the top experts within the Five Dragons' Stockade.
However, this was fairly easy to manage.
Just after infiltrating the Five Dragons' Stockade, Qin Fang noticed an expert with fairly strong capabilities.
Then... Qin Fang knocked him out!
He directly knocked the unlucky guy out and used the acupuncture secret technique to seal his acupoints, putting him into a temporary sleep state.
Dumping the individual in a hidden corner of the house, Qin Fang then put on his clothes and transformed into his appearance, swaggering out.
"Yang Family... Thousand Gates Five Great Families, hmph!"
Qin Fang's target this time was naturally the Yang Family behind Yang Rui, who was quite at odds with him. It was through Yang Rui that he learned some secrets about the Yang Family.
This included some information about the Yang Family Treasury... so Qin Fang saw no reason to be polite!
Speaking of which, this was really thanks to Yang Rui.
It was he who begged his father to take out the Xuanmu Order to show off, thus revealing the exact location of the Yang Family Treasury.
To open this treasury, one generally needs a specially made key, and also to navigate through mechanism techniques and formations...
The Yang Family, being one of the Thousand Gates Five Great Families, is one of the origins of the Thousand Skills tradition; their expertise in mechanism techniques and the Dao of Formation is incredibly formidable.
Even though the present descendants' abilities in this field are far less than those of their ancient predecessors, they are still very formidable, including some grandmaster-level experts... even a few great grandmaster-level!
The Yang Family Treasury is naturally one of the most important places within the Yang Family, with mechanism techniques and formations being utilized to the fullest.
However, the treasury Qin Fang wanted to steal from was not the main treasury that had been passed down for many years within the Yang Family, but another smaller treasury.
To be precise, it is the private treasury of the Family Head of the Yang Family...
The main treasury of the Yang Family is not only enormous, but opening it once requires considerable effort and is generally not done unless absolutely necessary.
For convenience, the Family Head has a private small treasury where commonly used and easily needed treasures are stored.
But don't underestimate its size and think its value is low... On the contrary, the collections within this small treasury, while not as numerous as the main treasury, are of comparable quality.
Because Devil's Island is completely isolated from the outside world, and the Five Dragons' Stockade hasn't contacted the outside world for many years, naturally few people know that this is the true foundation of the Thousand Gates.
Unaware of this, the treasures of the Five Great Families are extremely safe... Even though the Five Dragons' Den is eyeing them, the strengths on both sides are so evenly matched that neither can hope to move against the other!
Furthermore, the expertise of the Five Dragons' Stockade in mechanical techniques, Qimen Dunjia, and various exceptional Thousand Skills is exceedingly high. In a real confrontation, the Five Dragons' Stockade might find it difficult to aggressively attack the Five Dragons' Den, but in defending itself... not even a squadron of bombers could take it down!
Due to such isolation, the Five Great Families of the Five Dragons' Stockade have considerably lowered their defenses against danger, much like the Yang Family, which has placed many precious treasures in this small treasury for easy access...
Such as the Xuanmu Order, there are quite a few treasures like this in the small treasury!
The reason Qin Fang took the risk to infiltrate the Five Dragons' Stockade, wasn't it for these treasures?
"As for the Thousand Gates stuff, I'm not interested in taking them... But if there are any precious medicines or ores, I won't be so polite!"
Qin Fang's ambitions aren't particularly grand either, as he knows the severe consequences of emptying a treasury; he plans to decide on the severity of his actions based on the situation.
If it truly were a treasury akin to a mountain of gold and silver, Qin Fang wouldn't mind emptying it completely...
Rather than leaving these treasures in the treasury to feed mice, Qin Fang would prefer to make use of them... perhaps even benefiting all of mankind?
Don't underestimate the treasures of the Thousand Gates, considering that human civilization's development... at least ancient civilization's development, had Thousand Gates playing a significant role in its advancement.
Think of the Thousand Gates' ancestors—though it's been hundreds or thousands of years since they passed, their names remain in people's hearts...
The reason is, they left a precious heritage for all of humanity!
Today, the world has indeed seen technology reach an extremely high level, and some of the Thousand Gates' techniques seem obsolete, but in reality... the Thousand Gates still hold many skills that modern technology cannot solve!
Let's not mention others, the puppet person in Qin Fang's hands was manufactured by the Artisan God Luban, and it's been thousands of years since then, yet it still mysteriously operates!
And this, to the current technology, is an unsolved mystery... Even for robots, it seems impossible to keep operating perfectly for a thousand years!
Of course, Qin Fang did not expect to find such extraordinary art in the small treasure repository; he just wants to gain a little benefit...
The unfortunate kid knocked out by Qin Fang is surnamed Yang, called Yang Kun... He is a side branch descendant of the Yang Family, one of the Five Great Families.
Five Dragons' Stockade is the core of the Thousand Gate, basically filled with people from the Five Great Families, with only a very few from other surnames...
And the Five Great Families are also intermarried, which makes the relationships between the Five Great Families even closer...
However, apart from the Five Dragons' Den, they basically have no external enemies, at most having some minor internal conflicts, so whether the relationships are tight or loose, it doesn't really matter.
Yang Kun is a side branch descendant, not of high status within the Yang Family, but still considerably higher than the average servant; at least he can freely enter and exit the Yang family's mansion.
Moreover, this kid Yang Kun has a pretty good relationship with a certain young miss of the Yang family's direct line... To the extent that the two even have some abnormal relations.
And that young miss is the widow sister of Yang Rui, residing in the inner residence of the Yang Family, quite close to the small treasure repository.
This is also why Qin Fang chose to knock this guy out and take his place... With this identity, he can enter the Yang family's inner residence without being suspected by others!
The Yang Family, as one of the Thousand Gates Five Great Families, has an inner residence that is one of the most important areas, presumably filled with experts, posing significant danger...
Qin Fang, if he breaks in alone, might be discovered by the Yang family's experts before even finding the small treasure repository.
Of course, Qin Fang chose Yang Kun as his substitute also because Yang Kun's strength is similar to his, thus avoiding the embarrassing incident previously discovered by Wu Liang!
"Yang Kun, you came at just the right time, I was about to look for you…"
However, Qin Fang had just arrived outside the Yang family's main residence when he saw an old man about fifty years old hurry out and directly called out to him.
"What is it, Manager Liu?"
Qin Fang frowned, but he still dutifully responded.
At this point, he is already at the Yang family's territory, surrounded by dangers, with many powerful experts lurking in the inner residence.
Take this old man in front of him, for example, despite his age, his strength is quite formidable, reaching the Master Level Peak, just one step away from Great Grandmaster Level.
And this old man's identity is merely a servant of the Yang Family... To be precise, a head manager of the Yang Family.
Technically speaking, Yang Kun is a member of the Yang Family, even if not direct line, his status should not be too low... But in practice, it's not like that; Yang Kun has to be obedient in front of this Manager Liu.
The side branch is like this, outside the family's core circle, their status is barely different from a common servant, at most sounding a bit better in title.
High-ranking servants like Manager Liu are not comparable to Yang Kun, and if they speak too much within the family's direct line, Yang Kun of the side branch would definitely face severe consequences.
Despite Yang Kun having a special relationship with the young miss of the Yang family's direct line, he's at most considered a pretty boy, without even the privilege of pillow talk!
"The Second Miss is throwing a tantrum again…"
Manager Liu seemed to be aware of Yang Kun's relationship with this young lady too, as he squinted at Qin Fang with an extremely resentful glare.
"Then... Shall I go and coax her?"
Qin Fang felt quite aggrieved, though he had anticipated such a situation, he hadn't expected to encounter it so early upon arrival.
Even though feeling quite awkward inside, Qin Fang showed no trace of displeasure on his face, instead politely inquiring as if greatly respecting Manager Liu's opinion.
"Do as you see fit... But, if the Second Miss is not appeased, you know what the consequences will be!"
Manager Liu seemed to enjoy such "respect" from Qin Fang, his expression slightly improved, yet he still sternly stated.
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Qin Fang hurriedly nodded in agreement, he has to get through this ordeal, regardless of whether he likes it or not, as a Great Grandmaster Level expert beside him has already spotted him!
Then, under the watchful eyes of Manager Liu and the Great Grandmaster Level expert, Qin Fang entered the Yang family's inner residence, heading to the Second Miss's dwelling...
Qin Fang felt quite irritated inside, but he did not show it outwardly, only relaxing slightly when the Great Grandmaster Level expert behind him stopped observing him.
Soon, Qin Fang regained his focus, filtering out those experts around him that might pose a threat on his mini-map...
Of course, this refers to those experts whose strength is indeed above Master Level Peak, slightly weaker ones Pose no concern to Qin Fang as he could easily eliminate them! (To be continued.
