The night was long, and the street was lonely.
The person on the horse was Ye Hai, who worked in the government office. He had just finished a banquet and went to a gambling house to try his luck. He was in a good mood today. After all, he killed a real descendant of the Ye Family. He was excited and nervous.
That brat should have destroyed the evidence long ago, right? Ye Hai thought. He didn't dare to contact the Dragon Snake Gang. If Ye Haoran investigated, he could get away with it.
But he was just a fool. Even if he wasn't a fool now, he didn't have any feelings for Ye Haoran. He probably wouldn't ask. Ye Hai comforted himself and felt proud.
"Brat, who told you to hit my mother! Otherwise, wouldn't you have been able to escape if I had said a few words to help you? Sigh, people always make trouble for themselves! "Ye Hai sighed.
"Yeah, it's all your own fault." Suddenly, a voice that was neither loud nor soft came from the front.
"Who!" Ye Hai abruptly pulled on the reins. The fine horse let out a long neigh, raised its two front hooves high up, and then stepped on the bluestone road with a 'pa' sound, sending up a faint cloud of dust.
"It's you!" Ye Hai opened his drunk eyes and saw a young man in green standing in the middle of the road.
The moon was like a basin, and the stone road was as bright as water. Ye Kong stood there calmly, the night wind ruffling his clothes.
"Are you surprised to see me?" Ye Kong's calm voice floated over with the night wind.
"Were you waiting for me?" Ye Hai slowly touched the long knife at his waist and said, "Since you escaped, you should know to cherish your life. Do you really want to die by my hands?"
Ye Hai didn't know how this brat escaped, but it was obvious that this brat knew he was behind the scenes. So, he couldn't let Ye Kong live. He wanted to kill him.
"Since I waited for you alone, why would I come to die?" Ye Kong rushed out of the Hidden Spring House to get rid of Ye Hai. Otherwise, the lie he told Fan Jiu She would soon be exposed.
"Haha." Ye Hai laughed. "Don't think that you can be arrogant in front of me just because you killed a few hooligans. If you want to die, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Have a taste of my saber technique!" After Ye Hai finished speaking, he brandished his saber and urged his horse forward, preparing to behead this reckless brat.
Ye Kong stood motionless, waiting for Ye Hai to come near. Suddenly his pupils contracted, Ying Yu's martial art appeared in his mind.
Ye Kong let out a loud roar. Using the martial art of the Shadow Jade, he leaped up and gracefully spun several times in the air, like a Tuoluo floating on the surface of the water, easily dodging the saber attack.
"Your moves are quite flashy, but against me, there's only one word to describe it. Die!" Ye Hai wasn't boasting either. He abruptly reined in his horse's head and abruptly stopped in front of Ye Kong. His broadsword danced in the air and slashed towards Ye Kong's face.
Ye Kong resisted the urge to throw the talismans in his hand at his face, and continued to use the moves of the Shadow Jade in his mind to face the enemy.
He soared into the sky and faced the light of the saber. His sharp eyes allowed him to see clearly which was the light and which was the saber. Then, he raised his head, spun, and kicked! Under the elegant moonlight, his green robe shone with a peerless elegance.
"Bang!" Ye Hai's arm was accurately kicked by him, and his long saber flew far away and fell to the ground with a clang. Even Ye Hai was kicked off his horse.
Ye Kong walked over and looked at Ye Hai, who was trying to get up. He was full of surprise. What kind of martial art was in the Shadow Jade? How could it be so powerful? He had only seen it once and learned a few moves, but even a master like Ye Hai was no match for it.
"I've seen your saber technique. Now, I'll show you my talisman technique!"
Ye Hai was dead. His cold body lay in the middle of the street for a whole night. To the surprise of the government, there was only a small wound, but all his blood had flowed out.
No one in the Ye Mansion would suspect Ye Kong. No one could imagine that this bad-tempered, ignorant and incompetent guy could kill Ye Hai, who was highly skilled in martial arts. Even Grandma Hu couldn't have guessed it. However, Grandma Hu had been much more restrained since then.
Ye Kong was not in the mood to argue with an old maid. He didn't have the time either. The next day, he went to find the Lu brothers early in the morning and took them to take over the territories in the North District.
The underworld in the Cangnan Continent was still in the early stage. The so-called territories were basically some gangs of thieves and beggars. The only fixed source of income was the four arenas in the North District.
Ye Kong didn't expect that the arenas in the center of the street were all controlled by gangs of gangs. Not only did they have a fixed source of income, but they were also a good place to recruit talents.
The Lu brothers were originally from the North District, so they were very familiar with the area. They knew all the masters and weaklings in these territories, so they quickly recruited many members.
While Ye Kong was busy, Fan Jiulong and Fan Jiushe were also busy. Although no one in the Ye Mansion thought that Ye Kong was related to Ye Hai's murder, Fan Jiushe still guessed the truth immediately.
"Brother, let me tell you a piece of good news. Ye Hai was killed!" Fan Jiushe was very excited.
Fan Jiulong was not stupid. He immediately guessed, "Did he do it?"
"Of course, Ye Hai died in such a strange way. Who else could it be other than him? He killed him to silence him. "
Fan Jiulong laughed, "That shows his guilt. It seems that the so-called disciple of Immortal Wan Xuan is fake."
He suddenly remembered what he said last night and quickly asked, "Brother, why did you say that I shouldn't absorb his power yesterday?"
"It's like this. Don't worry, listen to me slowly."
The cause and effect of this matter had to start from the barbarian cultivation method that Fan Jiushe obtained by chance. This kind of cultivation method was actually a method that was in between the cultivation of immortals and the cultivation of devils.
Generally speaking, immortal cultivators absorbed the five elements of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, while devil cultivators liked to cultivate demonic energy or death energy. However, the barbarian cultivation method was in between. This kind of cultivation method still absorbed spiritual energy, but instead of absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, it absorbed the spiritual energy in the bodies of other immortal cultivators.
This kind of cultivation method had an advantage, which was that it didn't matter about spiritual roots, as long as you absorbed enough other immortal cultivators.
The method of absorption was very cruel. It was known as stealing the core and destroying the cauldron. Simply put, it was to first torture the absorbed person until they were in unbearable pain and lose the desire to live. When the connection between the divine sense and the aura sea was at its weakest, one would use their hand as a knife to stab into the other's aura sea and absorb the spiritual energy in the body.
After Fan Jiushe obtained this kind of cultivation method, he was overjoyed, but then he realized that cultivation was not that easy. He himself was a cultivator at the lowest level, where could he go to catch immortal cultivators who were lower than him?
After killing a few children who had just started cultivating near a small immortal cultivator family, Fan Jiushe had only cultivated to the third level of aura training. Just when he wanted to continue to catch immortal cultivators, he was discovered by the immortal cultivator family.
Under the encirclement, he luckily escaped with his life and returned to the southern city with serious injuries. Since then, he didn't dare to catch people to cultivate. His brother, Fan Jiulong, also wanted to cultivate the barbarian cultivation method, but there were no low level immortal cultivators for him to absorb.
Ye Kong's appearance gave him hope, so Fan Jiulong wanted to catch Ye Kong and absorb the spiritual energy in Ye Kong's body so that he could step into the path of immortals.
However, Fan Jiushe had a different idea. He said, "Brother, even if you absorb Ye Kong's spiritual energy, you are at most a first level of aura training. With me, a third level aura training, we still won't be able to catch immortal cultivators in the future, and we still won't be able to improve."
Fan Jiulong nodded and asked, "Brother, do you have an idea? If you have something to say, feel free to say it."
Fan Jiushe took out a palm-sized sword from his waist pocket. The color of the sword was gray and very light, but it was extremely sharp. He didn't know what material it was made of.
"Brother, it's been twenty years since I got this magic tool from the barbarian cultivator's skeleton, but I couldn't use it. That's because only the middle stage of aura training can use magic tools … What I mean is, if I absorb Ye Kong's spiritual energy, I might be able to rush to the fourth level aura training. At that time, after refining this small sword magic tool, my strength will definitely increase greatly. At that time, I can go out and hunt those low level immortal cultivators from small sects, and we brothers won't have to worry about the human cauldrons we need."
Fan Jiulong listened and nodded. "My brother's idea is more reliable. I've waited for more than ten years, I don't mind waiting a little longer. You can absorb Ye Kong's spiritual energy."
Fan Jiushe put away the magic tool and frowned. "The spiritual energy needed for the third level aura training to reach the fourth level is extraordinary. That kid from the Ye Clan has only cultivated for a year and a half, I'm afraid that even if I absorb him, it won't be enough."
Fan Jiushe smiled. "What's so difficult about that? We'll just wait. He's currently in the first level aura training, we'll wait for him to reach the second level aura training, and then we'll make our move. Anyway, as long as he doesn't surpass the third level aura training, little brother doesn't have to be afraid of him."
Fan Jiushe touched the small sword magic tool through his pocket and said helplessly, "Looks like brother, you'll have to lie in my pocket for a year and a half."
Fan Jiushe said worriedly, "Little brother, that kid is very smart and slippery. Wouldn't it be a long delay that brings trouble?"
"Don't worry, big brother, I still have a treasure here, a low-grade, mid-tier talisman, Firebird Technique! Not to mention the first level aura training, even if he reaches the third level aura training, he still won't be able to dodge it! "
"Haha, good!"
Actually, Ye Kong also knew that killing Ye Hai wouldn't be effective. That day, Daoist Master Wan Xuan didn't accept him, and all the Ye Clan's disciples and servants knew about it. He couldn't possibly kill all of them.
Sooner or later, Fan Jiushe would find out that he was tricked. Ye Kong didn't dare to delay. He brought Lu Jun and Lu Yi to the venue and bought talisman paper and cinnabar. He went back to make many talismans for escaping, such as Invisibility Talismans and Teleportation Talismans.
However, Ye Kong still didn't feel at ease. These talismans were powerful for mortals, but they were useless against Fan Jiushe. Thus, he thought of the Shadow Jade.
The martial arts in the Shadow Jade were indeed magical. If he could master it, combined with his Five Elements Immortal Ascension Scripture and endless talismans, there should be hope for him to escape from Fan Jiushe's hands.
Ye Kong didn't forget the martial arts of the Shadow Jade, and neither did Lu Qin. She felt that the martial arts in her family's precious jade had been completely understood by Ye Kong, so she was at a disadvantage. Thus, she begged Ye Kong to teach her the moves he learned.
Ye Kong didn't refuse. With a man and a woman together, practicing martial arts wouldn't be tiring. Although Lu Qin didn't have big breasts like the women in the Hidden Spring Brothel, she was still a beautiful little girl. No, that was another kind of beauty.
Time flowed like water, and another few months passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Kong finally turned 14.
