Volume 1: Wudao Xiantian Chapter 15: Wu Bao's Remaining Fragment

  Two updates per day, one additional chapter for every extra 1,000 recommendation tickets this week.

  Ye Xu turned around, but it was a purple-clothed young man, fourteen or fifteen years old, with bright and spirited eyes, looking extremely sharp and capable.

  That purple-clothed youth also noticed Ye Xu, slightly stunned, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said: "I was wondering who it was! It turned out to be the seventh young master of the Ye Mansion, Ye Xu, Ye Shaobao!"

  "Master Fang Shao."

  Ye Xiu seemed to smile but not quite, the purple-clothed young man in front of him was none other than Fang Duan, the sixth son of the Fang family from Liu Zhou. Last year, when Zhou Shiwen challenged Ye Xiu in a secret forest outside the city, somehow the Fang family's children got wind of it and secretly plotted against the two.

  At that time, Fang Dang led a dozen or so Fang family children to ambush in the dense forest, but unexpectedly they were discovered by Ye Xu and Zhou Shiwen. The two of them severely punished these guys, among whom Fang Dang was beaten by Ye Xu with three broken ribs, hating him to the bone.

  If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Fang family's elder, Fang Dou would have been beaten to death by Ye Xu!

  At that time, Fang Zhāo had already cultivated the family's inherited ultimate skill, Jiǔ Yáng Liè Huǒ Shén Gōng (Nine Yang Fierce Fire Divine Merit), to the fifth level. After this battle, he suffered severe injuries and his cultivation fell back to the fourth level realm!

  His resentment towards Ye Xu can be imagined.

  A flash of delight flickered in Fang Tong's eyes, and he chuckled: "Shao Bao, I heard that you recently failed the test for Wu Shi and became a useless person. You are no longer a member of the Ye family, but a horse slave in the stables. Is this true?"

  Ye Xiu smiled slightly, forcefully pulling back the embroidered handkerchief and quietly stuffing it into his own bosom. "Don't you Fang family know about this matter? I was testing the Wu Shi in the Martial Arts Pavilion, but wasn't it your Fang family's sneak attack that caused me to fail the test?"

  Fang Cong burst out laughing, just about to admit, when suddenly someone poked his waist from behind, startling him and causing cold sweat to flow: "This kid is really sinister! If I acknowledge that it was our Fang family's doing for a momentary pleasure, I'm afraid the Ye family will not hesitate to kill everyone in our Fang family! Ye Si Dao has been furious these days, investigating the truth of the Wu Bei Ge event!"

  The Ye Manor and the Fang family are sworn enemies, and in their early years, the Fang family had done something similar, ruining a test of a Ye family ancestor's witch doctor, so the Ye Manor suspects the Fang family to an extent that even surpasses another powerful witch family, the Zhou family.

  "Damn it, Ye Shaobao this scoundrel has become a useless thing and still won't stop, unknowingly he set me up and almost got me to fall for it!"

  Fang Cong didn't dare to speak with him again, lest he fall into another trap. He turned to the vendor and said, "How much silver does that embroidered handkerchief cost? I'll buy it!"

  The stall owner only then realized that the two young men in front of him were none other than the sixth young master of the Fang family and the seventh young master of the Ye family, who had recently caused a stir throughout the city. Both were not to be trifled with, so he hastily apologized: "Young Master Fang, please don't blame me, this embroidered handkerchief has already been sold..."

  "I'll contribute a thousand taels." Fang Tong said calmly, without batting an eyelid.

  The stall owner was shocked and did not expect that the old quilt would be so valuable, almost enough to buy a medium-sized house!

  But if this offends Ye Fu, I'm afraid he won't live long enough to spend these thousand taels of silver!

  The stall owner stammered: "Master Fang, this embroidered handkerchief has already been sold..."

  Ye Xiu smiled and said: "Fang Qiao, you're too late. This embroidered handkerchief already belongs to the Ye family. If you really want it, take out 10,000 taels of silver, and the handkerchief is yours."

  Fang Tong's mouth twitched, although the value of this tattered handkerchief far exceeded that price, but ten thousand taels of silver was an amount he couldn't afford even if his life depended on it.

  Ye Xu smiled lightly and stood up to leave.

  Fang Cong watched him walk away, his eyes cold and gloomy. He turned to the person behind him and said in a low voice, "Fang Li, are you certain you didn't make a mistake? Was that embroidered handkerchief really a shard of Wu Bao?"

  The man in the green robe behind him was the one who had just awakened Fang Tong, preventing him from being deceived. His name was Fang Lie, and he was Fang Tong's personal attendant. He said in a low voice: "Young Master, I'm absolutely sure! The embroidered handkerchief is indeed a corner of the Flame Sun Blazing Flag, and the strange bird on it is the Three-Legged Golden Crow! I've seen the drawing of the Flame Sun Blazing Flag in our master's study!"

  The Flame Yang Banner is a demonic treasure, woven from the black gold silkworm's silk, infused with a thread of three-legged golden crow's essence blood, light as nothing.

  The power of this witch treasure far surpasses any witch treasure in Liuzhou City, including the Ye family's ancestral heirloom, the Mangku Zhuo Town Tian Yin!

  Fang Lie continued, "I heard that the treasure is in the hands of the demonic cultivator Blood Bat. A hundred years ago, Blood Bat was killed by a righteous cultivator at Qing Shui River in Bai Man Mountain, and the Flame Flag was shattered! Many people went to Qing Shui River to search for the fragments of the Flame Flag, including my Fang family, the Zhou family, and the Ye family, but none of us found it. Who would have thought that it would appear here..."

  The Flame of Inyang's banner may have been destroyed, but even its fragments are invaluable.

  A single fragment of black gold silk and the essence of the three-legged golden crow are enough to move the heart of any wizard!

  Moreover, the Blood Bat Old Monster had been refining the Blazing Sun Flag for his entire life. This great flag contained a vast amount of the Blood Bat Old Monster's vital energy. If one could obtain this vital energy, it would be enough to cause an ordinary person's strength to undergo a heaven-defying transformation!

  Fang Cong thought for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth and lowered his voice: "Fang Lie, keep an eye on Ye Xu, see when he leaves the city!"

  Fang Lie's heart skipped a beat, and he said in a low voice: "Young Master, what do you mean?"

  A sinister glint flashed in Fang Cong's eyes as he said, "It's not convenient to make a move in Liu Zhou City. If we alert the Ye family, it'll be hard to clean up afterwards. But once we're outside the city, taking down this trash will be easy! This time, I must get my hands on the Flame Sun Blazing Flag! If I can get the Flame Sun Blazing Flag, my position in the Fang family will definitely rise greatly!"

  Fang Lie's eyes sparkled with a sharp light as he smiled and said: "Don't worry, Young Master, Ye Xu will absolutely not escape my grasp!"

  Fang Cong sneered: "Ye Shaobao, back then you broke three of my ribs, causing both my cultivation and status in the Fang family to plummet! Today, I'm going to make you die!"

  Ye Xuan wandered around the market for a while, found Su Qiaoqiao, took out a agarwood hairpin from his pocket and handed it to her, saying calmly: "Qiaoqiao, this is for you. Although it's simple, it can barely be used. When we have money, I'll replace it with a better one..."

  She took the agarwood hairpin, and saw that although it was not made of precious materials, the craftsmanship was extremely delicate, obviously Ye Xu had been very careful when selecting it.

  Thinking of Ye Xu squeezing into a crowd of women and carefully selecting hairpins, her eyes couldn't help but redden.

  Ye Xuan shook his head and smiled wryly: "It's not like it's some kind of precious thing, it's only worth two pieces of silver. Is it really worth making such a fuss? The hairpins you used to wear before, weren't they all more valuable than this one by a hundred times?"

  Su Qiaoqiao shook her head slightly and thought to herself: "This is still the young master's first time giving someone a gift, even if it's not worth a single penny, it's far more precious than those things..."

  The young girl carefully coiled up her hair, inserted a sandalwood hairpin, and lightly turned around. Her dress fluttered, and she smiled sweetly, shyly saying: "Young master, does it look good?"

  The fleeting charm of this smile made Ye Xu slightly dazed.

  "What is this tattered piece of cloth? Why does Bai Yulou want it so desperately..."

  Ye Xue only felt that the damaged embroidered handkerchief in his arms was getting hotter and hotter, like holding a red-hot iron plate, almost unbearable. In his lower abdomen, Bai Yulou was still restless, apparently craving this broken cloth extremely.

  Moreover, he vaguely sensed that a faint breath had been lurking behind him all along.

  Obviously, Fang Tong was unwilling to let that embroidered handkerchief fall into his hands, and he secretly sent someone to keep an eye on him.

  "Qiao Qiao, let's go!"

  Ye Xu pulled Su Qiaoqiao's hand and headed out of the city without saying a word.

  Su Jiaojiao saw his face getting redder and redder, as if dripping with blood, and she couldn't help but be startled. She hastily reached out to touch his forehead, which felt like a hot iron plate, and exclaimed: "Young Master, your forehead is burning!"

  Ye Xu strode quickly towards the horse farm, shaking his head and saying: "I'm fine, let's hurry!"

  As he walked to the edge of the Qing Shui River, Ye Xu felt that the embroidered handkerchief in his arms was hot to the extreme and could no longer bear it. He hastily stretched out his hand to pull out the embroidered handkerchief from his arms, but unexpectedly, the embroidered handkerchief was scalding hot, and Ye Xu's hand couldn't help but tremble as he threw the handkerchief away.

  Suddenly, a mysterious force surged out of the White Jade Building and rushed into that embroidered handkerchief. The embroidered handkerchief slowly unfolded and spun in mid-air!

  Ye Xuhong was shocked, and saw that the pattern on the embroidered handkerchief was getting brighter and brighter. The handkerchief seemed to be hidden in the air, leaving only a incomplete sun floating in mid-air, emitting fierce flames that were scorching hot!

  Ye Xu hastily pulled Su Qiaoqiao's hand, retreating several meters, still feeling the heat wave pressing in, even his hair transmitted a faint scent of scorching!

  Su Jiaojiao was even more surprised and exclaimed: "Young Master, what is this thing?"

  "Could it be that this embroidered handkerchief is a fragment of the witch's treasure?" Ye Xu muttered.

  Suddenly, a voice came from the side, extremely surprised: "Fang Lie, you really didn't misjudge! This embroidered handkerchief is indeed a fragment of the Flame Flag of Inflammation!"

  Ye Xue turned around to see Fang Tong walking towards him with his hands behind his back, a middle-aged servant following closely behind. Both of them gazed at the embroidered handkerchief floating in mid-air, their eyes filled with greed!

  "Ye Shaobao, I really should thank you, thank you for delivering the Flame Emperor's flag fragment into my hands! To repay you, I've decided to kill you with my own hands!"

  Fang Cong's eyes were cold and menacing as he turned his head to Fang Ke and said, "You go kill that woman, I'll take care of this trash!"
