The standards of the Qi family's residence are very high. Ye Li has only seen the design of the inner city in the royal cities of other continents.
There are two gates in the inner city, the front and back gates. Of course, the gates are the most heavily guarded places of the Qi family, and there are always many people on duty at all times.
As soon as Ye Li steps on the road, he will immediately arouse the other party's vigilance.
It was impossible for Ye Li to eliminate all the people guarding the city gate in one go. After all, his main purpose of coming here was to steal things and he had no intention of hurting anyone.
Although the Qi family is indeed not a good family, Ye Li is also unwilling to kill people at will.
After being in the martial arts world for so long, Ye Li also has his own sense of right and wrong.
If we really talk about the various forces and families in the world, there is no one who is completely good.
Including the Ye family, many of the businesses they have done in the past also have a dark side, and there are definitely times when they harm the interests of others.
Therefore, even though the Qi family had no grudges against Ye Li, Ye Li still felt that it was a bit wrong to steal things from their family. Ou Qianxie's evaluation of the Qi family was just a barely reasonable excuse for him to take action, and it did not make Ye Li feel that what he did was justified.
After observing the situation outside the inner city, Ye Li discovered that in addition to the large number of guards at the city gates, there were also many sentries on the four walls of the inner city.
However, these sentry posts are not very densely distributed, with only one at a long distance.
However, there is a very bright crystal lamp hanging between every two sentry posts, and each sentry post is guarded by two people at the same time. Wherever their eyes pass, they can just take in the situation on both sides.
That is to say, although the sentries are not too densely deployed, as long as someone wants to climb over the wall to enter, they will be exposed under the crystal lights and be detected immediately.
Ye Li knew very well that it was impossible to sneak in by climbing over the wall in the dark as he had done in the past, and it would be even easier to be discovered if he flew in.
Even if one could restrain most of the spiritual energy emanating from his body while flying, it would still be detected by more powerful talisman masters.
The Qi family is a second-rank family after all, and there are also masters in the family. It is indeed difficult for Ye Li to fly in without being noticed.
After thinking about it, Ye Li only had one solution. He directly activated the secret water casting method at the base of the wall.
When Ye Li's secret body-building technique was activated, there would be almost no spiritual energy fluctuations.
Especially after entering the Dao level, Ye Li's control over the secret body-casting technique became stronger and stronger. Under his deliberate restraint, there was almost no spiritual energy fluctuation coming from his body. There was only a thin layer of water-based spiritual energy gathering around him.
These water-based spiritual energies can indeed be sensed by people, but unless one has reached a high level of cultivation, one will not be able to feel the fluctuations of these water-based spiritual energies if they are at a distance.
After all, the power of water aura is relatively gentle, not as ostentatious as metal or thunder aura. Like wood aura, it is considered the least conspicuous aura.
Therefore, when Ye Li was wrapped in water-based spiritual energy, it would be difficult to notice him unless someone passed by.
In particular, the guards on the sentry post were of low strength and not too close to Ye Li, so they could not feel the fluctuations of water-based spiritual energy on his body at all.
After the secret water-casting technique was activated, Ye Li's figure gradually disappeared into the void. He had completely merged with the surrounding environment and became transparent.
It's just that when it moves, the light and shadow will be slightly distorted, and if you look carefully you can still find the abnormality.
But it was already night time, and the Qi family had not encountered an invasion for many years, so it was naturally impossible for the guards to concentrate on observing the surroundings at all times.
As long as they don't see anything unusual at a glance, they won't pay too much attention to the surrounding situation.
Relying on the cover of the secret water-casting method, Ye Li almost became a completely invisible man. He stretched out his hand and pressed lightly on the wall next to him, and the whole person rose into the air silently and flipped over the wall directly.
His figure passed by the crystal lamp, causing a slight change in light and shadow. A sentry on the distant post caught a glimpse of it and turned his head to look over.
However, after a quick look, he did not see anything unusual near the wall, so he shook his head in self-mockery, secretly cursing himself for being dazzled.
Ye Li crossed the wall and stood among the crystal lamps below without making any movement.
He stood still, completely transparent. Three states of water spirit energy existed around him at the same time, distorting the surrounding light and passing directly around his body.
Therefore, when other people looked at him, their gazes were equivalent to going around from the front of him to behind him, and they could directly see the scene behind him. In this way, Ye Li achieved invisibility.
Seeing that the sentry in the distance was no longer paying attention to what was happening here, Ye Li boldly moved again and headed towards the depths of the Qi family compound.
Ye Li had no idea where the Qi family's treasure house was.
The Qi family's compound is very large, with rows of houses and courtyard flowers and trees arranged in an orderly manner, which looks very grand.
Ye Li looked at the houses and flowers around him. If he wanted to look for the Sky Crystal by himself, he probably wouldn't be able to look through even half of the yard in one night. If he wanted to find something, he had to ask around with his family.
Not far away, a patrol team was approaching this side. Ye Li did not want to get too close to them. After all, there was still water-based spiritual energy around him. If he got too close, he would be easily discovered by the other party.
Looking at the door of a house not far away, a person just came out of the house and seemed to be about to go somewhere else. Ye Li dodged and moved towards the other person.
That man was only at the Linghai stage, about eighteen or nineteen years old, probably a descendant of the Qi family. At this moment, he had an excited smile on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
He vaguely felt a cool breeze blowing over from the side, giving him the illusion of being surrounded by mist.
Just as he was instinctively preparing to look to the right, a soul-moving force instantly swept across his body.
His eyes suddenly became dull, and he seemed to be distracted.
A deep voice came from the distorted light: "Turn back and go into the house!"
The voice was very soft and sounded blurry.
The young man with lifeless eyes didn't know what he saw in his self-illusion. He suddenly turned around, pushed open the door that had just been closed, and walked in.
Ye Li, who was hidden in the water-based spiritual energy, naturally followed the other party into the cabin and closed the door.
