After the auction was over, Fang Chen followed Li Xiaoke and Li Mingzhu back to the Li family's residence.

Fang Chen was also a little worried about being targeted by the Western Region God Thief. There was a large amount of wealth hidden in his spatial ring. If it was really stolen by the Western Region God Thief, he would really collapse.
"Ancestor, is it really fine?"
Fang Chen asked worriedly after returning to the Li family's residence.
"A small fry dares to call himself the God Thief? He really doesn't know where I come from," said Ancestor Bronze disdainfully.
"Ancestor, where do you come from?" Fang Chen was a little puzzled when he heard that.
When Ancestor Bronze heard this, he felt that he had misspoken. He coughed twice and changed the topic.
"Kid, you don't have to worry about that. Just focus on cultivating. As long as the Western Region God Thief comes, I'll give him an unforgettable lesson," said Ancestor Bronze solemnly.
Fang Chen nodded. "I believe in you, Ancestor."
The auction in Kaiyang City had allowed Fang Chen to stand in front of the world. Everyone was shocked by Fang Chen's wealth.
A young cultivator actually possessed so much wealth. Even the patriarchs of the three great clans were shocked.
After the patriarch of the Li family returned to the clan, he immediately called for an emergency meeting. The meeting was about everything related to Fang Chen.
At the same time, the patriarch of the Yang family was welcoming an important guest in the Kaiyang City's residence.
"May I know why young master Hun Yu of the Ancient Soul Sect has come to my place?"
Asked the patriarch of the Yang family directly after inviting Hun Yu's group into the meeting hall.
"Patriarch of the Yang family, I've secretly asked around. It seems that your Yang family has some enmity with that fellow called Fang Chen," said Hun Yu with a smile.
"Oh, young master Hun Yu, if you have something to say, please say it," said the patriarch of the Yang family.
Hun Yu nodded. "I like patriarch Yang's straightforward personality. Since that's the case, I'll say it directly.
I'm here for Fang Chen. That brat openly went against my Ancient Soul Sect at the auction. I want him dead. "
The Yang Family Patriarch frowned when he heard Hun Yu's words. He looked at Hun Yu and said, "Young Master Hun Yu, if you want to kill Fang Chen, why didn't you go to the Li Family Mansion? Why did you come to my Yang Family Mansion?"
"Patriarch Yang, this is Mizar City. With the Li family here, we can't openly kill Fang Chen. As a result, we need to do it secretly," said Hun Yu softly.
The Yang Clan Leader nodded, "Although I really want to kill him, once the mysterious Master behind him finds out, my Yang Clan will be destroyed."
The Yang Family Elder was a schemer. If there were no benefits, he would not take action easily.
Hun Yu chuckled when he heard this. He had already predicted that the Yang Family Patriarch would say something like this. He said, "Patriarch Yang, you also know that Fang Chen possesses a terrifying amount of wealth.
If you and I work together to kill Fang Chen, we'll split his wealth equally. How about that? "
Hun Yu offered a sufficiently tempting condition as he waited for the Yang Family Patriarch to agree.
As expected, the Yang Family Patriarch smiled when he heard this condition. He said, "I look forward to working with you."
Elsewhere, the Yang Family Patriarch and Hun Yu were discussing how to deal with Fang Chen.
If Fang Chen left Mizar City, Hun Yu would not need to work with the Yang Family at all. He would be able to kill Fang Chen easily.
However, Fang Chen had been targeted by the God Thief of the Western Region. He had been hiding in the Li Family Mansion, not daring to come out. Hun Yu had no good ideas either, so he could only work with the Yang Family Patriarch.
As for what he said about splitting Fang Chen's wealth equally between the two families, that was just a joke.
Did the Yang Family Patriarch have the courage to split the wealth with the Gu Tiger Sect?
Outside a secluded courtyard in Mizang City, a woman wearing purple tights instantly appeared. She looked around and after confirming that no one was following her, she entered the courtyard.
At that moment, a man wearing a straw hat was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, waiting for her.
"You have come," said the God Thief of the Western Region.
A complicated look flashed across Lu Lianxue's eyes when she saw the God Thief of the Western Region. Then, she walked over to the stone bench and sat down gently.
In order to keep it under wraps, Lu Lianxue had returned to the Lu Family after the auction ended. She had changed her clothes before quietly leaving the Lu Family.
Night had already arrived. There was not a single person on the streets of Mizar City.
Lu Lianxue had only come to this secluded courtyard after confirming that no one was following her. She had come to see the God Thief of the Western Region.
"Lianxue, your Divine Charm Technique has improved again," said the God Thief of the Western Region gently.
"Master, aren't you afraid of being discovered by them?" Lu Lianxue asked worriedly.
If there were martial artists here, they would definitely be shocked. One of the three goddesses of Mizar City, Lu Lianxue, was actually the disciple of the famous God Thief of the Western Region.
If this matter were to spread out, it would definitely cause a storm in Mizar City.
"Lianxue, you have developed well in Mizar City. The Lu Family has not discovered your identity," continued the God Thief of the Western Region.
"Tell me about that Fang Chen," said the God Thief softly.
Lu Lianxue nodded her head and said, "Master, according to my observations, this Fang Chen should have come from the Four Great Ridges. However, he seems to have a mysterious master. As for other matters, I am not too sure."
"Yes, this lad has a lot of wealth on him. I am prepared to make a move on him," said the God Thief of the Western Region.
Lu Lianxue did not speak.
To be exact, she had no right to refute the decision made by the God Thief of the Western Region.
"Continue to develop in Mizar City. I will wait for your good news," said the God Thief of the Western Region as he took out a black pill and handed it to Lu Lianxue.
Lu Lianxue took the pill and swallowed it. She stood up and clasped her hands at the God Thief of the Western Region before turning around and leaving.
What the God Thief of the Western Region did not see was that the moment Lu Lianxue turned around, a few drops of tears flowed from her eyes.
After leaving the God Thief of the Western Region's residence, Lu Lianxue's beautiful face was filled with uncontrollable tears.
All these years, she had not had a good life.
Rather than saying that she was the disciple of the God Thief of the Western Region, she was more like a servant of the God Thief of the Western Region.
Under the God Thief of the Western Region, there were countless disciples like her. These martial artists seemed to be his disciples, but in reality, they were all under his control.
Earlier on, the pill that the God Thief of the Western Region had given her was an antidote.
When they were taken in as disciples by the God Thief of the Western Region, they were poisoned. This poison had no antidote. Only by taking the pills given by the God Thief of the Western Region on time could they suppress the poison in their bodies.
In Lu Lianxue's memory, the God Thief of the Western Region seemed to have a shocking conspiracy. He used special means to send himself into the Lu Family and gradually became the leader of the younger generation of the Lu Family.
All these years, every once in a while, the God Thief of the Western Region would appear and give Lu Lianxue pills.
Lu Lianxue did not know when such days would come to an end.
Lu Lianxue thought about many things. Finally, she retracted her thoughts and gently wiped the tears on her face before disappearing into the darkness.
Now, the only thing that Lu Lianxue could do was to work hard to cultivate the Divine Charm Technique. When she was strong enough, she could escape the clutches of the God Thief of the Western Region.
In the pitch-black night, everyone in the Li Family's residence had already fallen asleep.
Only Fang Chen's courtyard was brightly lit.
Fang Chen was in the pavilion, carefully studying the Thunderbolt Talisman that he had bought today.
This Thunderbolt Talisman was a supreme-grade Spiritual Talisman. After studying it for a while, Fang Chen realized that this Thunderbolt Talisman was not as simple as he had imagined.
"The Thunderbolt Talisman's carving method is really exquisite. But why do I feel that there is a different aura in this Thunderbolt Talisman?" Fang Chen said to himself.
Logically speaking, this was a Thunderbolt Talisman. There was only one kind of aura in it, and that was the aura of thunder.
But why did Fang Chen feel another kind of aura? This puzzled Fang Chen.
Just as Fang Chen was studying the Thunderbolt Talisman, he suddenly encountered a ghostly figure that appeared in Fang Chen's courtyard.
Although the courtyard was brightly lit, there was no sign of this ghostly figure in the courtyard.
"The God Thief of the Western Region is here," Ancestor Bronze suddenly said.
Fang Chen was stunned. He immediately put the Thunderbolt Talisman into his Space Ring and picked up a piece of paper.
The Space Ring was guarded by Ancestor Bronze, so there was no problem.
The reason why Fang Chen picked up this piece of paper was to test if the God Thief of the Western Region was as magical as the legends said.
Just as Fang Chen was pondering, the God Thief of the Western Region had already approached Fang Chen. It was just that Fang Chen did not sense it.
Fang Chen's pondering had only lasted three to four seconds.
It was in these few seconds that the God Thief of the Western Region made his move.
When Fang Chen woke up from his pondering, the piece of paper in his hand had already disappeared without a trace.
Fang Chen was shocked. He looked around and even released his soul power. But he could not find the God Thief of the Western Region.
"The God Thief of the Western Region lives up to his reputation."
At this moment, Fang Chen was completely impressed. The God Thief of the Western Region's methods were too powerful.
He had actually stolen the item in his hand without a sound. If he had been looking at the Thunderbolt Talisman, he would have suffered a great loss.
At this moment, the God Thief of the Western Region looked at the piece of paper in his hand and could not help but curse.
"Kid, how dare you play with me, the God Thief of the Western Region." The God Thief of the Western Region sneered and continued to make his move.
Although Fang Chen knew that the God Thief of the Western Region was beside him, he was unable to lock onto his aura. He was even more unable to discover him.
Thus, Fang Chen decided to sit down in a lotus position without moving. There was a smile on his face.
Half an hour later, Ancestor Bronze finally spoke.
"He's gone."
"Yes, so he retreated in the face of difficulties?" asked Fang Chen.
"I scared him away," said Ancestor Bronze.
At this moment, the God Thief of the Western Region's figure appeared in the darkness outside the Li family's residence. His face was filled with shock.
"How is this possible?" The God Thief of the Western Region's heart was in turmoil.
The reason he was able to become the God Thief of the Western Region was because he had obtained the inheritance of a peerless bandit when he was young. From there, he had cultivated a special skill.
To be able to stealthily open a corner of a martial artist's spatial ring without them noticing, although it was just a corner, it was heaven-defying.
Just now, when the God Thief of the Western Region had attacked, he had been shocked to find that there was an aura that was exactly the same as his within Fang Chen's spatial ring. However, that aura was countless times stronger than his.
"Could it be that there is a peerless bandit hidden by this kid's side?" guessed the God Thief of the Western Region.
