The next morning.
Ye Fan, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes. After a night of energy gathering, his energy sea had recovered more than 10% of its spirit power. However, because his energy sea was damaged, he could no longer compress and purify the spirit power. He could only use it as a container for primitive spirit power. Not only that, he had to use half of his spirit power to repair his organs and energy sea. Therefore, he could only use 5% of his spirit power, and it was not pure spirit power. However, Ye Fan was still very pleased. This was better than having no spirit power. After all, he only needed to spend more time to repair his energy sea. When his energy sea was completely repaired, he could recover his spirit power.
"Dong, dong, dong." Someone knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Ye Fan asked.
"Young Master, breakfast is ready." The shopkeeper's voice came from outside the door.
"Come in," Ye Fan said.
The door was pushed open and Shopkeeper Qian walked in with a tray. On the tray was a bowl of rice porridge, a plate of pickled vegetables, a plate of peanuts, two boiled eggs, and two steamed buns. After putting these on the table, he began to clean up the leftovers from last night.
"Young Master, did you like last night's food?" Shopkeeper Qian asked as he cleaned up.
"Very good," Ye Fan said.
"That's good, that's good." Shopkeeper Qian smiled as he quickly cleaned up. After cleaning up, he turned and prepared to leave.
"Shopkeeper Qian, please wait." Ye Fan suddenly called out to Ye Fan.
"Young Master, do you have any other orders?" Shopkeeper Qian heard Ye Fan call out to him and immediately turned to ask.
"I have something to ask Shopkeeper Qian," Ye Fan said.
"Young Master, please ask," Shopkeeper Qian replied.
"There is a large house not far from here in the east. It is quite imposing. Which house does it belong to?" Ye Fan asked.
"So Young Master is asking about this," Shopkeeper Qian said. "That house belongs to Minister Zhou in the capital."
"Minister Zhou?" Ye Fan frowned and asked, "Isn't Minister Zhou's residence in the capital?"
"Young Master, you don't know," Shopkeeper Qian said. "Taiping Town is Minister Zhou's ancestral home. “
"I see," Ye Fan nodded and said, "I wonder who lives in that house now?"
"I heard that Minister Zhou has returned to Taiping Town. I think it must be Minister Zhou who lives there now," Shopkeeper Qian said. "I haven't been out for a while, so I can't be sure if it's him."
"Alright, I got it." Ye Fan said, "You can leave now."
"Yes." Manager Qian walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
"Minister Zhou?" Ye Fan suddenly remembered what Fujiwara No Chiko said last night. She said that she wasn't Fujiwara No Chiko, but Zhou Ruoli.
When he thought of Fujiwara No Chiko, Ye Fan's heart tightened again. He walked to the table and ate a few mouthfuls. Then, he sat back on the bed and gathered his Qi again.
Without Spiritual Power, everything was in vain. Now, what he could do was to recover his Spiritual Power as soon as possible. Then, he would find a way to find out what kind of magic was used on Fujiwara No Chiko. He decided that when his Spiritual Power recovered to 50%, he would immediately go to Miaojiang to find Jinchan and ask her to check. Jinchan was experienced and knowledgeable. Her cultivation was profound. She would definitely be able to recover Fujiwara No Chiko's memory.
In the next few days, Ye Fan only did one thing besides eating and sleeping. Ye Fan used the Spiritual Power he gathered to heal the damage to his Sea of Qi. The Sea of Qi was the most important thing. Without the Sea of Qi, there would be no pure Spiritual Power. It would be impossible to save Fujiwara No Chiko.
Five days later, Ye Fan's Sea of Qi was finally completely recovered. The Spiritual Power inside had also recovered to 50%. However, his internal organs were still seriously injured. Even if he used Spiritual Power to heal, the effect was not very great. It seemed that it would be impossible to heal his internal injuries in a short period of time.
Now, the plan was to quickly leave for Miaojiang to find Jinchan and ask her to help restore Fujiwara No Chiko's memory and save his beloved wife. On the other hand, he was also worried about the safety of his father and the others. Now that the imperial court was arresting the Ye family members everywhere, they would definitely not show themselves in public. He did not know where they were now or if they were in danger. When he returned to Lingyun Cave, he did not find any trace of his father and the others. He was not worried that his father and the others would encounter a strong enemy. With his father and grandfather's cultivation, it would not be easy to trap them. What he was worried about was that someone would disguise themselves as him and ambush them. If that happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.
There were too many urgent matters, but he could only do them one by one. The first thing to do was to find Jinchan.
That night, Ye Fan waited until it was dark. He found Boss Qian and told him that he had something to do and had to go out. He thanked him for taking care of him these past few days and gave Boss Qian another 100 taels of silver. Naturally, Boss Qian expressed his gratitude again.
After leaving the inn, Ye Fan walked to a secluded place where there was no one. His Spiritual Power rose into the air and flew quickly in the direction of Miaojiang. Miaojiang was very far away from here. Even if he flew at full speed, it would take him three hours. However, Ye Fan did not push his body movement to the extreme. He was now seriously injured and his spiritual power was not completely full. If he flew at full speed, he was afraid that his internal organs would not be able to withstand it, so he maintained a speed that was neither fast nor slow. At this speed, he would be able to cover most of the distance by dawn. The rest of the road was high in mountains and dense in forests, and there were few people. Even if he flew in the air in broad daylight, no one would find him.
Along the way, Ye Fan's mind was not idle. He kept thinking about the questions in his heart. What was the purpose of the other party to kidnap Fujiwara No Chiko? Why did they cast a spell to make her not remember him? What happened to father and the others? Why did the imperial court put the Ye family on the wanted list? How could the Zhou family have such a powerful master? Could it be related to Matsumoto Takeyoshi?
Ye Fan flew in the air while thinking. In the blink of an eye, he had been flying for three hours. At this time, the sky in the east began to show white. Below his feet was a large area of mountains and dense forests, with strange peaks and strange rocks.
Ye Fan had been rushing for such a long time. In addition to his injuries, he already felt a little tired. He withdrew his spiritual power and slowly landed on the top of a mountain.
After landing, he directly sat on a big rock and began to meditate cross-legged. He absorbed the spiritual power and recovered his physical strength.
After half an hour, Ye Fan opened his eyes and took out the dry food that Shopkeeper Qian had prepared for him before he left. After opening the oil paper, Ye Fan took out the chicken leg and ate it in big bites.
After a few hundred li, he would enter the Miao territory. After entering the Miao territory, Jinchan would be able to sense him and naturally appear.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, the sky was completely bright. Ye Fan got up and tidied his clothes, preparing to fly again. Who knew that when he got up, he suddenly heard a burst of rapid sound behind him. Ye Fan heard it and his face changed. "Someone is sneak attacking me!" Ye Fan thought.
He quickly turned around and immediately pulled out the Snake Shadow Sword. When he completely turned around, a blue shadow was already one foot in front of him. The blue shadow was very vague, and the blue light was flashing!
"What a fast movement technique!" Ye Fan never thought that with his current hearing ability, from the time he heard the sound to the time the opponent rushed in front of him, it only took him a moment to turn around. What kind of movement technique was this! It must be known that he was able to hear small sounds dozens of zhang away. The distance of dozens of zhang was closed in an instant. This person's cultivation was far higher than his!
Ye Fan, who already had combat experience, was able to distinguish that the blue shadow was the fast moving figure of an expert. The blue light was the light emitted by a divine weapon. In a moment of desperation, Ye Fan quickly used his spiritual power to form a defensive stance with the Snake Shadow Sword in his hand.
"Hong!" A dazzling blue battle blade and the white light of the Snake Shadow Sword clashed together. Suddenly, the blue light was everywhere, and the white light scattered. Ye Fan only felt a tyrannical force coming from the battle blade in the opponent's hand. The force caused his hand to go numb, and he almost let go of the Snake Shadow Sword in his hand! Not only that, but Ye Fan was also pushed back a zhang by this force. The ground under his feet was forcefully dug out by himself!
While retreating, Ye Fan saw the opponent. A person wearing a blue robe and holding a blue battle blade. His face was covered with a green veil, and his eyes were cold.
"Hong!" Before Ye Fan could stabilize his body, a huge force came from the Snake Shadow Sword that blocked the blue battle blade. This force was even more tyrannical than the previous one. It forced Ye Fan to retreat again, all the way to the edge of the cliff!
Ye Fan clenched his teeth and used all the strength in his body. He also used all the spiritual power in his qi sea to activate the Snake Shadow Sword. The Snake Shadow Sword let out a crisp sound. Suddenly, a white light shone brightly, and a cold aura surged. The cold aura instantly enveloped the blue-clothed person!
"Nani?" The blue-clothed person first asked, and then his eyes revealed a greedy expression. "Yaoxi." The blue-clothed person said as his body moved, and he immediately disappeared!
Seeing the blue-clothed person disappear, Ye Fan immediately became alert. He raised his sword and looked around vigilantly.
"Shua!" While Ye Fan was looking for an opponent, the blue-clothed person once again appeared beside Ye Fan. This time, his speed was even faster than when he had sneak attacked Ye Fan. He only saw a blue light flash past Ye Fan's clothes. Ye Fan only felt his hand loosen, and his shoulder go numb. When he looked at his right hand, he was shocked: the Snake Shadow Sword in his hand had disappeared! What made him even more shocked was that he was now completely unable to move!
"Shua!" The blue-clothed person flashed, and once again appeared in front of Ye Fan. However, this time, there was a Snake Shadow Sword in his hand.
"Yaoxi! Yaoxi! "The blue-clothed person's voice was filled with excitement. His eyes shone brightly as he looked at the Snake Shadow Sword in his hand.
"Give me back my Snake Shadow Sword!" Ye Fan was furious. He didn't know what technique the blue-clothed person had used on his body, but he was completely unable to move. He immediately urged the spiritual power in his body, wanting to break free from the shackles. However, the blue-clothed person's shackles were too strong, and his own spiritual power was not particularly abundant. In addition, his five viscera and six bowels were heavily injured. Ye Fan didn't dare to urge his spiritual power too much, or else it would worsen his injuries. He tried for a long time, but his spiritual power was only able to break free from the shackles a little. He could only move his fingers slightly.
The blue-clothed person's eyes were fixed on the Snake Shadow Sword. He didn't even look at Ye Fan. He directly raised the blue saber in his hand, and slashed at Ye Fan's feet. A huge blue arc of light was released from the saber, and instantly rushed into the ground under Ye Fan's feet.
"Boom!" Rocks flew everywhere. Ye Fan only felt the ground under his feet shake, and then his body began to sway left and right. Following that, he felt the ground under his feet become empty, and he fell from the cliff along with the huge rock under his feet!
The blue-clothed person's saber had actually cut off a corner of the cliff!
In midair, Ye Fan closed his eyes. Chiko, Brother Kim, Father, Grandfather, Xiao Zhao, we will meet again in the next life. Ye Fan thought. A line of clear tears flowed from the corner of his eyes as he tumbled down the cliff!
The blue-clothed person on the cliff sheathed his blue saber. His right hand held the Snake Shadow Sword, and his left hand gently stroked the blade as he nodded. However, at this moment, the Snake Shadow Sword in his hand suddenly began to tremble!
"Nani?" The blue-clothed person slightly frowned.
"Weng … …" The Snake Shadow Sword began to tremble more and more violently, and it began to emit a clear cry.
"Baka!" The blue-clothed person cursed. Following that, his right hand began to emit a blue light, and he tightly gripped the Snake Shadow Sword!
"Weng … …" The Snake Shadow Sword began to emit a white light, and the sword began to tremble even more violently!
"Baka! Baka! " Flustered and exasperated, the blue-clothed person's hand began to emit a blue light. He used both hands to grip the sword hilt, and wanted to use his profound cultivation to control the Snake Shadow Sword!
However, all of this was useless. The Snake Shadow Sword's white light became brighter and brighter, and the cold air became stronger and stronger. The eyes of the silver snake on the sword hilt suddenly emitted two dazzling green lights!
What made the blue-clothed person feel even more strange was that this small snake actually began to crawl on the sword hilt!
"Weng!" The Snake Shadow Sword emitted a loud cry, and the white light expanded, and the cold air exploded! The blue light emitted by the blue-clothed person's hand was completely swallowed by this white light. Not only that, his right hand began to slowly form a layer of ice!
