Chapter 26
The Plunder Begins

“Sure enough, someone is following me.”

After Xia Yan descended the mountain, he directly got on his motorcycle, once again transforming into a ghost fire youth, returning to his new home in Ju Wang Town.

“But, is this blatant way of doing things really not afraid of being shot down by Liya Si and the others?”

Xia Yan muttered to himself.

The two fallen angels following him seemed to truly believe that he was just an ordinary person.

Therefore, their tracking methods weren’t particularly secretive.

They simply spread their wings, flew in the sky, blending into the darkness, following behind him.

Perhaps this approach would be difficult to detect for an ordinary person.

However, Xia Yan wasn’t truly an ordinary person.

He currently possessed the strength comparable to a mid-level devil.

He easily spotted the two in the sky.

Xia Yan didn’t mind, he directly returned home and went to rest.

“He really does look like an ordinary person.”

Mittelturt and Karavana landed on a large tree beside the villa, observing Xia Yan for a while before realizing that there was indeed no other special aura around him.

“He actually lives alone…”

Karavana looked at Xia Yan with a bit of lust in her eyes, his face truly excited her.

“Karavana, don’t get all worked up, go back and report. Now is not the time to cause trouble, if you have any ideas, wait until the task here in Ju Wang Town is completed.”

Mittelturt said helplessly.

At this moment, the task was their top priority.

Even if they had desires, they had to temporarily put them aside.

“Tsk, what a pity, such a high-quality guy, can’t just eat him immediately.”

Karavana reluctantly turned around, thinking that she must find an opportunity to have a close encounter with the guy inside.

Seeing that Xia Yan had no abnormalities, the two spread their wings and flew back to the abandoned church.

“Gone?”

After sensing that there was no surveillance outside the house, Xia Yan lay on the bed and began to integrate the artifact control formula copied from Lena麗.

Instantly, numerous copied patterns and symbols appeared in his mind, constantly merging into his memory.

Xia Yan didn’t recognize a single one of these patterns and symbols before.

However, gradually, as the artifact control formula integrated, Xia Yan gradually began to understand the meaning represented by these symbols and patterns.

After about half a minute, Xia Yan completely mastered this artifact control formula.

The artifact control formula copied from Lena麗 was actually divided into two formulas.

The first one was the artifact stripping formula.

The second one was the artifact fusion formula.

The meaning was actually very simple: It was the formula corresponding to the two steps of stripping the artifact from the original artifact host and integrating it into oneself.

“The artifact stripping formula takes a long time to prepare.”

Xia Yan frowned slightly.

This stripping process wasn’t as quick as Xia Yan initially imagined.

According to the steps in his memory, it would take about an hour to complete.

It seemed that the plot was also like this.

It was precisely because this formula required a long preparation time that it gave Issei Hyodo and his group time to rescue Aisa in the church.

“In that case, I need to find a suitable time.”

Xia Yan thought about how to take Issei Hyodo’s artifact.

Now, Issei Hyodo was under Lena麗’s surveillance, he definitely had to find a time when Lena麗 wasn’t around, otherwise, if he was interrupted, it would be another troublesome matter.

“Forget it, if I’m interrupted, I’ll just kill them.”

Xia Yan didn’t have a good solution for the time being, violent resolution was the easiest.

As for Aisa, as long as he left a fallen angel alive at that time, and then used his new identity as the Red Dragon Emperor as a deterrent, it should be possible to guide Aisa to Ju Wang Town like in the plot.

For the next few days, Xia Yan spent all his time practicing how to use the artifact control formula, improving his proficiency, trying to avoid any accidents when taking the artifact.

Through practice, Xia Yan was already able to skillfully use the artifact control formula.

It didn’t take much time for him to go from his initial clumsiness and pauses to his current fluency.

After all, although this formula sounded very advanced, it wasn’t actually a particularly high-level formula.

Taking an artifact from a human, someone with strong strength could even use the simplest method.

Directly kill the artifact host, then confine the artifact, and forcefully snatch it away.

However, those with weak strength had to rely on the formula to confine the artifact.

Because once the artifact host died, the artifact would once again enter the process arranged by the Holy Bible God, reincarnate, and find a new host.

During the process of the artifact leaving the body and preparing to reincarnate and find a new host, without overwhelming strength to intercept it, there was only a way to intercept it through cunning means.

The artifact control formula was precisely a cunning method.

This method wasn’t particularly brilliant, it was just more cumbersome.

But no matter how cumbersome the formula was, after mastering it, understanding it, and practicing it repeatedly dozens of times, it would also become simple.

“Lena麗 and the others are having a meeting again?”

After practicing the artifact control formula, Xia Yan checked the monitoring situation at the church as usual before going to sleep.

Every three days or so, the four fallen angels would gather at the abandoned church, reporting their progress and situation to each other.

Counting the first time he met Lena麗, this was the third time this group of fallen angels had gathered.

“It’s a good opportunity.”

Xia Yan didn’t hesitate, he changed his clothes and immediately transformed into a ghost fire youth, riding his motorcycle to Issei Hyodo’s house.

Parking his motorcycle in a hidden corner far away, Xia Yan observed for a while, finding no surveillance, he used his superhuman jumping ability to climb over the wall and enter Issei Hyodo’s bedroom on the second floor.

It was already past midnight, Issei Hyodo was already asleep, the intrusion of an outsider didn’t wake him up.

Xia Yan walked to Issei Hyodo’s bed, gave him a direct hit to ensure he wouldn’t wake up halfway, then moved Issei Hyodo from the bed to the floor.

After finishing the preparations, Xia Yan began to draw the artifact stripping formula.

Issei Hyodo lay on the ground, his posture like Jesus nailed to the cross.

Magic flowed from Xia Yan’s fingertips, drawing patterns around Issei Hyodo, writing mysterious symbols.

These symbols emitted a faint light, filled with magic, as if alive, jumping in the void.

Slowly, these patterns and symbols merged into Issei Hyodo’s body.
