Volume 1: Wudao Xiantian Chapter 19: Crisis Lurking Everywhere

  Ye Xu returned to the horse farm and immediately hid in the house, instructing Su Qiaoqiao not to disturb him. He urgently needed time to study the Tianming Body Refining Technique.

  Since he cultivated the fifth heavy Tianmen Lian Ti Jue, this martial art has undergone an incredible transformation and become even more perfect.

  In the past, the Tianming Lian Ti Jue was only on par with the Jiuyang Lie Huo Shen Gong and the Hou Tu Ba Ti Shen Gong, but now it has already surpassed the other two martial arts!

  "Why didn't the ancestor who founded Ye Fu pass down the complete version of the Cang Ming Lian Ti Jue?"

  Ye Xu furrowed his brow, the Xuan Ming Lian Ti Jue was passed down by the ancestor who founded the Ye Manor, and for 300 years it had been the family's secret technique, only the direct descendants of the Ye family could cultivate it, and it would never be lost or incomplete.

  "Unless that ancestor of the Ye family deliberately simplified the Tianming Body Refining Technique, or he didn't learn the true Tianming Body Refining Technique!"

  Ye Xuan had only cultivated the new Cang Ming Refining Body Technique to the fifth heavy realm, yet he was able to instantly kill Fang Tian with a single move, who had cultivated the Nine Yang Lethal Fire God Technique to the sixth heavy realm. This shows that the power of the new Cang Ming Refining Body Technique far surpasses that of the incomplete version.

  He couldn't help but feel a deep longing for the true Tianming Body Refining Technique. At this moment, the Tianming Body Refining Technique he was cultivating was nearly perfect and far more powerful than what he had cultivated before, but it was still something he had unintentionally comprehended, so it must have differed from the true Tianming Body Refining Technique in some way.

  "In the ancient library of the Ye family, there might be a complete version of the Tianming Refining Body Technique!"

  Ye Xue's eyes sparkled, and the Ye family had two great treasuries, the Wu Ku and the Wu Gu.

  The arsenal collects various martial arts, while the witch library collects witchcraft!

  He had already browsed through all the martial arts in the armory, only the witch's library was not qualified to enter, and to enter the witch's library, one must become a witch!

  If Ye Family really has the complete version of Cang Ming Lian Ti Jue, it will definitely be collected in the Witch's Library!

  Ye Xu furrowed his brow again, muttering: "If it's stored in the Wu Ku, then doesn't that mean... the entire Tian Ming Lian Ti Jue isn't a martial art, but rather witchcraft..."

  Fang's residence, Qian Ning Garden study.

  Fang Zhongshan stood quietly beside his desk, his brush flying across the paper as he wrote a few large characters on the rice paper.

  Kill! Kill! Kill!

  The strokes pierced through the paper, leaving an inch-deep mark on the nanmu wood desk, with a fierce and formidable aura!

  Fang Zhongshan, although he didn't become a wizard, his status in the Fang family was extremely high. He cultivated the Nine Yang Lethal Fire God Technique to the 13th level, with a martial arts innate talent, and an overbearing aura that dominated all others. In terms of martial arts cultivation alone, within Liu Zhou City, he was absolutely the number one martial artist!

  The congenital boundary has three layers. The first layer of the boundary condenses the air into a halo, the second layer of the boundary releases the halo outward, and the third layer of the boundary is the congenital tyrant body!

  An old servant in a black robe quietly pushed open the door and walked in.

  Fang Zhongshan dropped his brush and said coldly: "Fang He, have you found out who killed the child?"

  The black-clad old slave Fang bowed and said: "Master, the young master was hit with over 300 palms in one breath, his meridians were all shattered, and then someone used a heavy hand to smash his skull. The only ones who can strike out so many palms in such a short time are the Thousand Armed Mantis Hand of the Zhou family and the Great Thousand Leaf Hand of the Ye family."

  Fang Zhongshan listened quietly, Fang Tong was his son, who was found dead by the riverbank at noon. The shock and anger in his heart can be imagined. He immediately ordered Fang He to start investigating.

  Fang continued, "However, judging from the young master's injuries, it is clear that they were not inflicted by the Zhou family. If the young master had been hit by the Thousand Arm Centipede Hand, he would have been cut into pieces by this vicious martial art. But the young master's injuries are internal, so they must be the result of Ye Family's Da Qian Ye Shou."

  "Yeh family!" Fang Zhongshan snorted, his eyes radiating a murderous aura.

  "There are many people in the Ye family who have the ability to kill Young Master, and it's very difficult to investigate."

  Fang's face turned strange, and he said in a low voice: "However, just now I happened to meet Ye Jia's乾坤手Ye Li, he said that the one who killed Young Master was none other than Ye Xu Ye Shaobao, who had been making a big fuss recently."

  Fang Zhongshan was taken aback for a moment, clearly not understanding why Ye Li wanted to tell him this.

  "Ye Xu, Ye Shaobao! A useless thing from the Ye family, how dare you kill my son!"

  Fang Zhongshan slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, his gaze growing increasingly sharp: "Ye Xu has already become a useless thing, how could he have killed Dou'er? It must be that the Ye family sent someone to secretly take action! Fang He, you immediately send someone to kill Ye Xu and bring back his head to see me! I want to see who is hiding behind Ye Xu!"

  "Master, the Ye family's horse farm is guarded by Ma Sanbao. Even if Zhou Shiweng and Zhou Dingcheng were to go in, they would likely come out with their tails between their legs. To kill someone at the Ye family's horse farm might be a bit difficult. In a few days' time, it will be the Hunting Festival, and all three of the great families' young masters will be going to Bai Man Mountain for the hunt. Why not make our move there..."

  Fang Zhongshan nodded slowly, Ma Sanbao was a slave of the Ye family, but he was also a witch doctor, and forcibly breaking into the Ye family's horse farm to kill someone would inevitably lead to conflict with him.

  "Fang He, I'm leaving this matter to you to handle. After the Hunting Festival, I want to see Ye Shaobao's head with my own eyes, as an offering to my son's spirit in heaven!"

  "Don't worry, master!"

  Fang and Ou's bodies suddenly straightened, emitting a powerful aura that swept out in all directions. The window frames seemed to be blown open by the wind, creaking loudly as they swung wide, revealing a martial arts master who had entered the Xiantian realm and condensed his energy into a powerful aura!

  "Yeshao Bao, if he regained his former cultivation, I would still fear him three parts. But now, killing him is no more difficult than pinching a chicken to death!" Fang He said proudly.

  Inside Ye Manor's martial arts arena, several young masters of the Ye family gathered together, whispering among themselves.

  "Has Lao Qi's injuries from that good-for-nothing really healed?"

  Ye Bin looked at the palm print on Ye Jian's face, studied it for a moment, and pondered: "He was severed from all his meridians, his cultivation was abolished, how could he recover so quickly?"

  "Second brother, the main problem now is not how that despicable slave recovered from his injuries, but rather that he will soon be able to climb over our heads! If he regains the family's attention, will he let us off?"

  Ye Jian and others looked pale, they fell into the well when Ye Xu was in trouble, ridiculing and humiliating him in all ways, even driving Ye Xu out of the inner court and occupying the house left by his parents. If Ye Xu regained the attention of the family again, with his personality, he would definitely not have their good fruit to eat!

  Ye Bin also furrowed his brow, thinking hard, and suddenly sneered: "Since that's the case, then let's not stop halfway, might as well get rid of him!"

  Ye Feng and others were shocked, losing their voices: "Second brother, you're crazy! If the family finds out we killed him, it's absolutely a dead end!"

  Ye Bin's face turned sinister, and he said: "He is still a house slave now, even if he died, no one would care! Moreover, Lao Liu, Lao Jiu, that despicable slave, if he climbs over our heads again, do you think we will have any chance to rise up?"

  Ye Feng and others fell silent, then suddenly laughed: "Second brother is right, that despicable slave must die. If he doesn't die, we'll never be able to rise up in this lifetime!"

  Ye Bin let out a cold hum and said, "In just a few more days it will be the Hunting Festival. All sons of the three major families who are over twelve years old must enter the Hundred Barbarian Mountains to undergo trials and hunt down demonic beasts. Although Old Seventh has been demoted to a slave, his name is still on the family tree, so this time during the Hunting Festival, he too will participate!"

  Several people exchanged glances, and each saw the determination in the other's eyes.

  "The Bai Man Mountain, the Hunting Festival, is Ye Shaobao's death date!"

  Ye's horse farm, Ye Xiu stood quietly on the lawn, closed his eyes, and slowly breathed in and out.

  Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and the black pupils were like the twinkling cold stars in the night sky. He lifted his right foot and stomped it heavily on the ground, and a mighty force burst out instantly. The lawn under his feet shook violently, with his sole as the center, sending out ripple after ripple of waves, and the air was surging!

  On the lawn, seven boulders weighing tens of kilograms were suddenly lifted high by the residual power of this kick. Ye Xu's eyes turned cold, and with a light flick of his fingers, the wind whistled as it struck those boulders, making a series of loud cracking sounds. The seven large rocks shattered loudly, and smoke filled the air!

  "Good!"

  Suddenly, a voice of admiration came from beside him. Ye Xuan opened his eyes to see Ma Sanbao standing not far away, his face cold and stern, but his eyes filled with an appreciative gaze.

  "Seventh Master's formless finger, shapeless and formless, is overbearing and fierce! Your cultivation speed is truly astonishing!" Ma Sanbao slowly walked up to him and nodded: "With your current strength, you can rank among the top in all the disciples of the Ye Manor! There are no more than five people whose cultivation is higher than yours!"

  "The host is being too polite." Ye Xu smiled and said.

  His cultivation progress was indeed terrifying, and in less than four days after the battle at Clear Water River, his cultivation had grown to the sixth level of the Cang Ming Refining Body Technique. The purple clouds formed by the Cang Ming True Qi in his dantian had also reached 390!

  From his cultivation being abolished and losing all his powers to now, in less than a month's time, he has cultivated the Tianming Refining Body Technique to the sixth level. This terrifying cultivation speed is unbelievable!

  Even in the past, Ye Xu carried the name of Tianzong's extraordinary talent, and it took him nearly four years to cultivate the Chaoming Refining Body Technique to the sixth level!

  "If it weren't for the White Jade Pavilion in my dantian, let alone cultivating the Chaotic Void Body Refining Technique to the sixth level, I'm afraid I'd still be lying on a sickbed now."

  Ye Xue's mouth curled up in a bitter smile, and he shook his head slightly, thinking to himself: "But come to think of it, if not for this White Jade Tower, I would have become a Wu Shi by now..."

  Ma Sanbao stood shoulder to shoulder with him, saying lightly: "Seventh Master, tomorrow is the Hunting Festival. All young masters of the clan who are over 12 years old must participate. Your injury has just healed, if you don't want to attend, Ma can speak to the master on your behalf."

  Ye Xue was taken aback, the Hunting Festival was a day for the three major families of Liu Zhou to test their children's cultivation, venturing deep into the Hundred Barbarian Mountains to hunt and kill demonic beasts, it was also a trial to select outstanding children and focus on nurturing them.

  He once participated in the Hunting Festival for the first time, and it was on this festival that he stood out and gained the attention of Ye Si Dao, becoming the pride of the Ye family.

  Ye Xiu thought of past events, his emotions surged, and a heroic spirit suddenly arose. He laughed loudly: "Host, thank you for your kindness! This hunting festival, I must participate!"

  Ma Sanbao glanced at him and was also moved by his heroic spirit. He calmly said, "You should be careful of the Fang family and your fellow clansmen."

  Ye Xuan nodded in agreement, thinking deeply that the danger did not only come from the demonic beasts of Bai Miao Mountain, sometimes humans were a hundred times more dangerous than demonic beasts!

  In the past, he devoted himself to cultivation and focused on martial arts, unaware of the treachery of human hearts. Now, however, he has a deep understanding of it.
