After the three of them jumped into the courtyard, Ye Fan slowly regained his senses. He pushed Ye Yun away and looked at Ye Yi who was stabbed to death by Ye Kong. Everything happened too suddenly. He did not understand why Ye Kong would kill Ye Yi. He only knew that Ye Yi was his childhood sweetheart. They grew up together, climbed trees together to fish for bird eggs, and went into the river to catch loaches together. Now, Ye Yi died under his own father's sword. Ye Fan's mind was in a daze. He pounced on Ye Yi's corpse like a madman. That corpse was lying face down on the ground, covered in blood.
"Ye Yi! Ye Yi! … "Ye Fan was in so much pain that he wished he was dead. "Why, Father, why did you kill Ye Yi?" Ye Fan suppressed the anger in his heart and turned to ask Ye Kong.
"Look carefully and see if she is Ye Yi." Ye Kong said indifferently. He did not look at Ye Fan. Instead, he held his sword and looked around vigilantly. Ye Yun was the same. He silently looked around the courtyard.
"What? Not Ye Yi? " Ye Fan wiped away the tears in his eyes. He turned the corpse over and looked at it. Ye Fan was so scared that he threw the corpse aside and sat on the ground. That was not Ye Yi's face. It was a furry fox face!!! The corpse quickly shrunk and turned into a three chi long yellow fox!
"Get up!" Ye Kong shouted to Ye Fan, "Be careful of a sneak attack!"
Ye Fan heard Ye Kong's words and suddenly understood. He immediately stood up and picked up the Snake Shadow Sword. He quickly walked behind Ye Kong and stood back to back with Ye Yun and the other two in a circle. It turned out that his father and grandfather had already seen through the fox's trick. There were not two Ye Yi's outside the door. The voices and conversations of the two Ye Yi's were a double act sung by the fox!!! Presumably, Ye Yun and Ye Kong were afraid of alerting the enemy, so they purposely hid it from Ye Fan. They wanted to make the fox think that the three of them had fallen into a trap. As for the burnt smell, it must have been caused by the vixen herself! However, Ye Fan didn't understand. Why didn't the bronze man attack the fox spirit? When Ye Fan thought of this, he turned back to look at the fox's corpse. Indeed, the fox's waist had a black magnet that was exactly the same as his! Not good! Could it be... Could it be that Ye Yi was really killed by this fox? Otherwise, where did it get the magnet?
"Father, that fox also has a magnetic stone. Could it be that Ye Yi …" Ye Fan suddenly felt very uneasy.
"These people have already thoroughly investigated the Ye Clan. They have done their homework in advance and know that there are copper men guarding the courtyard." Ye Kong said worriedly, "It seems that the Ye Clan has already done something evil. If that's the case, I'm afraid that Ye Yi is now in danger."
"I'm not only worried about Ye Yi," Ye Yun said, "This fox can change into a human's appearance. If she changes into my appearance and goes to the Ye Clan's branches..." Ye Yun didn't continue speaking.
"Father... Ye Fan said anxiously after hearing Ye Yun's words. He was worried that something might happen to the family.
"I'm not sure," Ye Kong said with a frown. "If that's the case..." Ye Kong shook his head.
"Don't think too much about it," Ye Yun said, "I've already issued an order. Without the Ye Clan's secret signal, no one can act rashly. The Ye Clan isn't stupid."
"However, the magnetic stone on this fox does belong to the Ye Clan," Ye Yun continued, "I don't know which branch has been plotted against."
Ye Fan became more and more afraid after hearing that. It was said that foxes were crafty. It seemed that it was true. If it wasn't for his father Ye Kong and grandfather Ye Yun stopping him, he would have rashly opened the door... Ye Fan didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Don't think too much," Ye Yun said, "Let's get down to business. Keep your eyes open. The opponent may be right beside you."
The three of them vigilantly scanned the courtyard, not missing a single corner. Although this place was already in a mess because of the Sky Dragon and the Golden Hoop, other than the rockery, there was no place for the opponent to hide. At this time, the sky was slightly bright and everything in the courtyard could be seen.
In less than a cup of tea's time, Ye Fan felt that something was wrong. Because of the spiritual energy in his body, his senses were several times sharper than a normal person's. He keenly sensed that there was an unusual aura in a huge broken tree in the courtyard, behind the rockery, and not far in front of him on the ground.
"There's something strange about that broken tree!" Ye Fan leaned back and whispered to Ye Kong and Ye Yun, "It's about five feet in front of Grandpa. And that rockery, "Ye Fan continued softly," That person is hiding in the rock. And there's also a person seven feet in front of Father on the ground. "
The situation of the three of them was as follows: Ye Fan was facing the door, which was where the broken tree was. Ye Kong was facing the rockery, Ye Yun was facing the empty space. Each of them had a strong enemy in front of them.
"Let's change positions." Ye Kong whispered, "I'll deal with the person in the broken tree. Father, you deal with the rockery. Fan Er, you deal with the ground."
"We'll do as you say," Ye Yun said.
The three of them rotated in formation and stood in their respective positions.
"I'll count to three. After three counts, the three of us will attack at the same time and try to defeat the enemy in one move." Ye Kong said. He deliberately emphasized the word 'three'. Ye Yun and Ye Fan didn't say anything after hearing this, which meant that they were in tacit agreement.
At this moment, Ye Fan secretly admired his father Ye Kong's wisdom. Not only did he see through the fox spirit's trick with a single glance and kill that evildoer with a single stab, but his current arrangement was completely watertight. Why did he say that? Because the three of them cultivated different techniques. Ye Yun's sword Qi was extremely domineering, so it wouldn't have any problem dealing with the rockery. Ye Kong's Inversed-Scale Sword was full of Yang energy. Since that person was able to hide in the broken tree, he must be of the Yin attribute. He walked the path of Yin energy, and the Inversed-Scale Sword was his nemesis. As for the Snake Shadow Sword, it was bitingly cold. It could instantly freeze the ground that was full of water. Once the ground was sealed, the person underground wouldn't be able to escape. As for why he emphasized the word 'three', it was even more amazing. That was Ye Yun's secret signal! Although Ye Kong said to count to three, he said it on purpose for the other three to hear. His real intention was to attack with all his strength on the second count! A sudden attack on the second count would catch the enemy off guard. They would hastily respond and lose the initiative. Ye Fan sighed in his heart. Although he had a half-immortal body, his combat experience was better than nothing. It looked like he had to learn more from his father, Ye Kong.
"One." Ye Kong began to count.
The three of them began to secretly exert their strength. Ye Kong's Inversed-Scale Sword shone with a golden light, Ye Yun's Snow Thread Sword shone with a white light, and Ye Fan's Snake Shadow Sword's cold aura rose sharply. The three Divine Weapons were like flood dragons emerging from the sea, emitting a pleasant buzzing sound.
"Two." As Ye Kong's voice fell, the three of them made their moves simultaneously. The three Divine Weapons drew three beautiful arcs of light in the air at an extremely fast speed. One golden and two white arcs of light shot out in three different directions at lightning speed. A loud "boom" was heard. Gravel, wood shavings, and ice shards rained down from the sky like a torrential downpour!
After the dust settled, they looked at the three places again. The huge broken tree had been smashed into pieces by the Yang qi emitted by Ye Kong's Inversed-Scale Sword. The several zhang tall artificial mountain had been forcefully split into two by Ye Yun's Snow Thread Sword and crashed to the ground. Ye Fan's Snake Shadow Sword was even more powerful. It had completely frozen the ground in a radius of ten zhang in front of him. The thick layer of ice on the ground was actually as thick as a palm!
However, the puzzling thing was that the trio's tyrannical moves didn't force the three people Ye Fan had mentioned to appear. After three moves, there was still no movement.
The three of them glanced at each other. They didn't understand what was going on. With that move just now, not to mention an ordinary expert, even a Daluo Immortal would have a layer of skin peeled off. How could there be no movement? Could it be that the three of them had dodged the attacks? If that was the case, then this battle wouldn't be easy to fight. The three of them had already used eighty percent of their strength in the three moves just now. If the three of them could dodge the three moves so easily, then the result was obvious.
What was going on? He had clearly sensed that there was an unusual aura coming from these three places. How could it be … Ye Fan was puzzled. Could it be that he had sensed wrongly?
Just as Ye Fan was wondering if he had sensed wrongly or if his opponents were too fast, Ye Kong suddenly walked slowly towards the broken tree.
"Father! …" Ye Fan hurriedly shouted. It was too dangerous for Ye Kong to go alone.
Hearing this, Ye Kong waved his hand and did not say a word. He slowly walked to the front of the broken tree and bent down to pick up something. Then, he walked back the way he came and handed the thing in his hand to Ye Yun.
"Father, Fan Er. Come and take a look. What is this? "Ye Kong said.
Ye Fan carefully looked at the item in Ye Yun's hand. "This is …" Ye Fan felt that it was somewhat familiar. It was a yellow piece of paper with red lines and a pattern of dragons and snakes drawn on it …
"This is a talisman!!!" Ye Fan was shocked. "Could it be that just now …"
"That's right. Your senses weren't wrong." Ye Yun's face was filled with anger. "This talisman contains …
A human soul!!! "
"What! This … Here … Soul? " Ye Fan was shocked. In his impression, yellow talismans were nothing more than tools used by Taoist priests to exorcise ghosts and suppress evil spirits. Moreover, most of them were just tools used to cheat people of their money. He had never heard of a person's soul inside a yellow talisman.
"This, could it be …" Ye Kong didn't dare to continue.
"Soul Sealing Talisman!" Ye Yun gritted his teeth and said.
Ever since Ye Fan could remember, he had never seen his grandfather so angry.
"Soul Sealing Talisman!" Ye Kong's expression changed.
"Father, this Soul Sealing Talisman … Where did it come from?" What is it? "Ye Fan could tell from their expressions that this Soul Sealing Talisman wasn't a child's play.
"Fan Er," Ye Kong said to Ye Fan with a serious face. "Among the three of us, you're the fastest. Watch out for my signal. If the three of us can't defeat them, I'll cover them. You take your grandfather and leave this place quickly. Don't let your emotions affect your decisions. Understand?"
"Father, what's going on?" Ye Fan had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
"This Soul Sealing Talisman is the secret art of Henan's Li Family," Ye Yun said. "With blood as a guide, it can seal a person's three souls and seven spirits for my use. This Soul Sealing Talisman was first used on the battlefield. At that time, the Li Family followed the army as generals. If someone was seriously injured and dying, in order to see his family for the last time, he would use this Soul Sealing Talisman on his chest. It could protect him from dying. Of course, those who had this Soul Sealing Talisman were all important figures in the imperial court. Later, after the Li Family left the imperial court, they didn't pay attention to worldly affairs and lived in seclusion. However, for some unknown reason, the Li Family was suddenly exterminated overnight. The Soul Sealing Talisman was lost since then. " Ye Yun finished speaking with a worried expression. "I didn't expect the Soul Sealing Talisman to reappear in the world today. Judging from the female ghosts, walking corpses, fox demons, and the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade Formation, there must be an expert from the Cuiming Hall among the people who visited our Ye Family today. If I'm not wrong, this person should be one of the four protectors of the Cuiming Hall, the Chi (Chi) Demon of the Demons and Monsters. Not only is this person skilled in evil arts, he is also extremely greedy and lecherous. No matter where he goes, he will bring along maids to satisfy his lust. What's even more unbearable is that some of these maids aren't even human! They're demons! Chi Yao is even more sinister and cunning. In order to get what he wants, he will do anything. Presumably, the Li Family fell into his evil hands and the Soul Sealing Talisman was taken away by him. You don't understand the Soul Sealing Talisman. Whether this technique is good or evil depends entirely on the caster. If the righteous path obtains this technique, they can use it to benefit the common people. However, if the evil path obtains this technique, it will inevitably lead to misery and suffering, bringing disaster to the common people. Just now, there were three Soul Sealing Talismans in the three places. Although we don't know whose souls were sealed in them, we can be sure that the souls in the fake mountain and broken tree have been scattered by me and your father. Sigh! What a waste of killing! In a moment, no matter which of the three of us fights with him, we must be extremely careful. We can't be careless. The Soul Sealing Talisman is just a bait to test the strength of the three of us. Now he has achieved his goal. " Ye Yun said worriedly, "Fan Er, your father is right. Among the three of us, you are the fastest. If the three of us aren't a match for him, take your father and leave quickly. Don't worry about me."
"Father …" Ye Kong was about to persuade Ye Yun.
"I'm the head of the Ye Family now," Ye Yun interrupted Ye Kong. "Are you going to disobey me?"
"This …" Ye Kong was speechless.
"Father, Grandfather, no matter how powerful that Chi Yao's formation is, wasn't it still suppressed by my father's Inversed-Scale Sword? Why are you guys retreating before the battle even starts? " Ye Fan didn't understand. The Ye Family wasn't at a disadvantage, so why would his father, Ye Kong, and grandfather, Ye Yun, suddenly say something like that?
"You should know that there are four of them, and it's said that one of them isn't human," Ye Kong said slowly. "We only have the three of us. According to the usual practice, the strongest one will appear last," Ye Kong continued. "Now that the first one to appear is Chi Yao from the Cuiming Hall, you can imagine the strength of the other three."
"Hehehehe …" A burst of strange laughter suddenly came from the rooftop opposite them. "Looks like the Divine Weapon Clan is nothing more than this. They're already thinking of how to escape before the battle even starts."
Upon hearing this, the three of them abruptly raised their heads and looked across, only to see three people standing side by side on the rooftop.
