Chapter Nineteen: Robbery (Part Two)

  Ye Xuan arrived at the place where Liu Yizhu was supposed to be, and indeed Ye Xiangting had said it accurately. There was no sign of Liu Yizhu here either. Ye Yun and the others also walked over and saw that all around were dense and messy weeds, but they didn't see any sign of Liu Yizhu.

  "Goodness gracious, she's really gone back! We barely managed to escape!"

  Yexuan immediately said: "You follow Zhuozhan brother back first, I'll go up and take a look!"

  Yeyun immediately said: "Then I'll go back too!"

  "Cut it out! None of you are going back. You three go back to the Ye's first, don't worry about me, I can handle myself."

  Ye Yun originally wanted to stop Ye Xuan, but when she thought of Liu Yizhu's sad look earlier, her heart softened, and she could only nod obediently and remind him: "Then you have to be careful, those two people are very formidable."

  "Don't worry! Everything will be alright!"

  After finishing speaking, Ye Xuan turned around and his figure quickly disappeared from their line of sight.

  When Ye Xuan returned to the place where they had just fought, the scene in front of him stunned him.

  A dozen or so guards were scattered all over the ground, their bodies lying in a mess. The grass was stained with blood, and some of the guards had their heads smashed by hammers, their faces twisted beyond recognition. Ye Xuan gazed at this bloody scene, truly witnessing the cruelty of this world, and the ruthlessness of the two men with scars on their faces.

  He saw a yellow-faced, flower-shirted figure behind a large tree. Ye Xuan walked over and found it was Liu Yizhu, her pale face now deathly white as she knelt on the ground in front of a corpse. The corpse was that of a large man with a full beard and an iron-cyan complexion - it was unmistakably Liu Dahai.

  Ye Xuan saw this scene and couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, feeling sorrow for Liu Yizhu who had lost her loved one in just one day. He clenched his fists and heavily punched the nearby tree. Not far from Liu Dahai's corpse, he saw Murong Sheng, who was now lying in a pool of blood with a distorted face. The arrogant him didn't seem so despicable to Ye Xuan anymore.

  At this time, Liu Yizhu surprisingly didn't cry and didn't shed a single tear. Her calm demeanor made Ye Xuan feel a chill.

  Ye Xuan didn't know how to comfort Liu Yizhu, so he came to her side, squatted down, patted her shoulder and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you."

  "No need for you to avenge me, I will personally go and avenge my father. Every single one of us from the Bing Qi Sect will take back this blood debt." Liu Yi Zhu shook his head and said.

  Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

  "Help me bury Dad, I can't let him lie here."

  Ye Xuan nodded again, he drew out his dagger and dug a hole under a cypress tree. This was the second time he used this dagger to dig a hole, the first time was to bury the pile of white bones at the foot of the mountain cliff, and this time it was to bury the master of the military equipment shop, Liu Dahai.

  Ye Xuan realized that in order to survive in this world, he had to make himself stronger. Even though the Ye family's influence in Xihe City was considerable, they were nothing but ants compared to those powerful experts. In just one day, the girl beside him became isolated and alone.

  When Ye Xuan and Liu Yizhu walked out of the mountain range, the sky had already darkened. Liu Yizhu calmly asked Ye Xuan: "Can I follow you from now on?"

  Ye Xuan was stunned by Liu Yizhu's sudden words. Liu Yizhu explained, "The Bingqi Hang is now empty and I don't want to go back. Can the Ye family take me in? I know you are from one of the three major forces in Xihuo City, the Ye family."

  "How did you know?" Ye Xuan asked in surprise.

  "Your name is Ye Xuan, and at such a young age, you already have this kind of power. You must be from a wealthy family, I've guessed it's the Ye family."

  Ye Xuan nodded and said: "From now on, consider me as a family member, stay at the Ye's house, when our strength increases, I'll accompany you to take revenge!"

  Liu Yizhu nodded silently.

  ……

  Ye Jia, Ye Xuan was currently sitting in the courtyard, cross-legged under a large tree. After his refinement, the small Xuan Dan in his body had also been fully absorbed by him, but his Xuan Men still didn't have a full feeling and couldn't feel any signs of breakthrough.

  Now he felt the importance of Xuan Dan even more, in less than three months, the competition would begin, without it, his cultivation couldn't keep up, how could he defeat Situ Ran and Situ Hao, how could he survive. He let out a long sigh of turbid air.

  At this time, in the courtyard, there was a young girl wearing a water-green changshan with a standing collar and a sword in her hand. The exquisite sword danced in her hand, rising and falling suddenly, its moves as smooth as floating clouds and flowing water, changing unpredictably. The bright sunlight shone on her body, accompanied by the green scenery of the courtyard, like a magnificent natural painting scroll.

  Ye Xuan saw her dancing with a sword and smiled slightly.

  This girl is none other than Liu Yizhu, and after Ye Zhenwu and his wife learned of her experiences, they took her in as their adopted daughter. Because she was a Sixfold Profound Qi, Ye Zhenwu taught her a set of low-level profound techniques that complemented sword use: Kuang Lang Zhuan. This slash was unleashed from the sword, with an aura like raging waves.

  A set of sword moves ended, and Liu Yizhu's direction suddenly changed. One sword stabbed towards Ye Xuan. When the sword tip was three inches away from Ye Xuan, he moved, his body slightly tilted, and dodged her attack. At this time, Liu Yizhu withdrew her sword hilt, and the mysterious energy flowed out of the sword tip, like a wave.

  At this time, Ye Xuan let out a low shout and threw a fist into the wind towards the waves, his fist was golden yellow.

  Bang!

  Liu Yizhu's sword wave was dissolved into nothingness by Ye Xuan's fist.

  "Alas! The same level of mystic skill in your Eightfold Mystic Qi is far stronger than mine, which is only Sixfold Mystic Qi!" Liu Yizhu said dejectedly.

  "Don't be discouraged, I had a two-month loss of spiritual energy, during which time I suffered from some family members' prejudice. At that time, I was also very depressed and felt like a useless person. But later on, I didn't recover my cultivation path? In fact, if you want to talk about being anxious, I'm anxious too. The small elixir given by the family has been refined by me, and this month still has so much time."

  Ye Xuan said gloomily that he now yearned infinitely to enter the Star Profound Realm, and only by entering this realm could one truly be considered to have entered the path of cultivation.

  "Here, take it!"

  At the time when Ye Xuan was depressed, Liu Yizhu said, only to see her holding a nuclear-sized crimson crystal in her hand, which was the third-level magic crystal that everyone was fighting for.

  "Is this... isn't this that third-grade magic crystal?!" Ye Xuan couldn't believe his eyes at the moment.

  "Hmm, actually, Dad had already given it to me for safekeeping when we were on the road. I didn't expect that because of it, Dad lost his life."

  Liu Yi will never forget that scene, and she will also never forget those two people with the knife scars on their faces who made her hate them.

  "Why are you giving this to me? This belongs to you, it was your father who exchanged his life for it." Ye Xuan shook his head.

  "Without you, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to escape. Let's auction it off! It should be worth a lot of Small Mystic Pills, which will allow me to speed up my cultivation and take revenge sooner!" Liu Yizhu said firmly.

  Ye Xuan nodded in agreement as he looked at her determined expression.
