"Father, there's something you don't know. This is not some evil weapon, but an ancient divine weapon of the Demon Realm, Bloodthirster."
Ye Fan returned the Bloodthirster to its scabbard and told Ye Kong everything that had happened recently.
The ghosts of the Netherworld, the Demon Palace, the Demon Lord, the Old Man of Yin and Yang, Nangong Ao, the Liuheyuan, the Heavenly Luo Umbrella, the Black Feather Blade …
This series of events caused Ye Kong, who had always been in the Ye Clan's ancestral mansion, to be instantly dumbstruck and shocked on the spot!
In just a few months, his beloved son had gone through so many calamities!
In addition to being shocked, Ye Kong felt heartache.
Ever since his daughter-in-law, Fujiwara No Chiko, met with an accident, his only son had gone through too much and endured too much.
He was only in his twenties, but his hair was already silver.
Although his cultivation was like an immortal at this time, and he was ranked as the Demon Lord, Ye Kong could see that Ye Fan was not happy.
The hardships and experience in the past few years had made Ye Fan, who was originally full of vigor, more experienced and mature, but also more lonely.
For Fujiwara No Chiko, his son had almost given up everything.
Whoosh …
Just as Ye Tian was sighing with emotion, a blood-red light instantly lit up in the distant sky and flew towards them at high speed!
The red radiance shot out in all directions, dazzling the eyes. It was as fast as thunder, as swift as lightning!
Whoosh …
In the blink of an eye, the red light stopped in front of the father and son!
Whoosh …
After the red light dissipated, Akatsuki, who was dressed in red, appeared out of thin air.
At this time, she was holding the Phoenix Wing Saber in her hand, and her chest was moving up and down as she panted.
After being pierced by Miyazaki Ishito's light saber, she, who was of the Demon Blood Body, spent a lot of effort to remove the light saber from her body.
She mobilized her spiritual power and healed her wounds. Then, she used the saber to cut open the cave and rushed over as fast as lightning!
"Ye … Ye Fan … Where … Where are they?"
Akatsuki, who was worried about Ye Fan's safety, asked Ye Fan while panting.
Miyazaki Ishito's light saber was extremely powerful, so the wounds on Akatsuki's body had not healed yet. In addition, she was anxious to save him, so she pushed her movement technique to the extreme, so her breath was a little chaotic..
"It's okay," Ye Fan said to Akatsuki with a smile. "They're gone."
"Gone … gone? That's good, that's good … "Yue Hongji's eyes widened as she patted her chest.
"You … you …"
When Ye Kong, who was standing next to Ye Fan, saw Yue Hong Ji's true appearance, his eyes widened and he was dumbfounded!
He Is Is'Er's's Is''s't know what to say for a long time!
This Akatsuki looked exactly like his daughter-in-law, Fujiwara No Chiko!
During the Demon Slaying Conference, Ye Kong had been suspicious of this woman's figure, temperament, voice, and eyes. This was because she looked too much like Fujiwara No Chiko. Although she was wearing a veil, he could still feel it!
Now that he saw Akatsuki without her veil, Ye Kong was completely stunned!
The two of them looked too much alike!
If not for the fact that Akatsuki was wearing a red dress, Ye Kong would have thought that the person standing in front of him was his daughter-in-law with an incomplete soul!
Hearing Ye Kong's question, Akatsuki touched her face subconsciously!
After her veil was taken off by Miyazaki Ishito, she had forgotten about it and was thinking about how to save Ye Fan.
She only came back to her senses when she saw Ye Kong's stunned expression!
"I … I …"
Akatsuki was at a loss for words and was at a loss for words …
"Father, this is all I know."
After an hour, Ye Fan said to Ye Kong who was sitting beside him.
At this time, the three of them had returned to the Ascendant Clouds Cave.
Ye Fan cooked a few dishes. The three of them chatted as they ate.
"What that Cauldron Spirit said might be very mysterious."
After listening to Ye Fan's narration, Ye Kong put down his wine cup and said to Ye Fan with a solemn expression.
"Father, you mean that …"
Ye Fan knitted his brows and asked Ye Kong.
"There must be an extremely unusual relationship between Hong Ji and Chiko," said Ye Kong.
As he said that, he raised his head and looked at Akatsuki.
Akatsuki, who was carrying Baihu, pursed her lips and did not say a word.
She wanted to know more about her background than anyone else.
"I will write a letter to Ito in Dongying and ask him to investigate Hong Ji's background and see if he can find any clues," said Ye Kong.
Ito Fumio was Fujiwara No Chiko's teacher. He was famous in Dongying and had a wide network of connections. At the same time, he was Ye Kong's best friend. If Akatsuki and Fujiwara No Chiko were inextricably linked, he would definitely be able to find out.
"That's a good idea."
Said Ye Fan as he nodded.
"What about you? What do you plan to do now? "Ye Kong changed the topic and asked Ye Fan.
"There is only one Cauldron of Jizhou left among the Nine Cauldrons. This time, no matter what, I must defeat Nangong Ao."
Ye Fan said as he poured a cup of wine for Ye Kong.
"From what you said, Nangong Ao has the ability to travel through space. He comes and goes like the wind. His movement technique is as fast as lightning. Furthermore, he has thousands of years of cultivation. If you want to defeat him, I'm afraid you don't have a high chance of winning." Ye Kong said to Ye Fan with a frown.
"That's why I need to focus on training during this period of time and raise my cultivation to a new level." Ye Fan put down the wine jug and said to Ye Kong in a serious tone.
Ye Kong nodded slowly.
The Xuantian Secret Essentials and the Proud Moon Heavenly Scripture were two peerless techniques. If Ye Fan were to train hard, he might be able to defeat Nangong Ao.
"When are you going to start training?" Ye Kong asked Ye Fan.
"After I send father away, I will start training the fourth stage of the Xuantian Secret Essentials, Dragon Traversing the Heavens." Ye Fan replied, "In six days, on the night of the full moon, I will start training the fourth stage of the Proud Moon Heavenly Scripture, Moon Shocking Chapter."
"Will it be dangerous?" Ye Kong asked directly.
"Well …" Ye Fan smiled and said, "There will definitely be danger, but it won't be a big deal."
Ye Fan said this because he didn't want Ye Kong to worry.
However, Ye Kong definitely wouldn't believe that there wasn't any danger.
After careful consideration, Ye Fan decided to compromise.
This was the only way to hide it from his father.
"You're lying!"
Hearing Ye Fan's words, Akatsuki immediately retorted.
Ye Fan was stunned when he heard that.
He didn't expect Akatsuki to expose him in front of his father.
Ye Kong narrowed his eyes and looked at Akatsuki.
"Uncle Ye, don't listen to his nonsense." Akatsuki said to Ye Kong, "Training the Dragon Traversing the Heavens and Moon Shocking Chapter requires great danger!"
"What do you mean?" Ye Kong asked Akatsuki.
"He told me before that training the fourth stage of these two secret arts is fraught with dangers and obstacles. There can't be any mistakes, and there can't be any disturbances. Once there's a mistake, the best case scenario is Qi Deviation, and the worst case scenario is death!" Akatsuki said to Ye Kong, "The reason why Miyazaki Ishibinori and Takahashi Watanabe came at this time is to kill him while he's training!"
Akatsuki directly told him the truth.
She was already worried about Ye Fan's training. After the incident with Miyazaki Ishibinori and Takahashi Watanabe, she was even more afraid!
If it weren't for Ye Fan's preparation and Ye Kong's timely arrival, Ye Fan would have been dead by now!
Internal and external troubles made her very worried about Ye Fan's safety!
Ye Kong frowned and turned to look at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything.
"Is that really the case?" Ye Kong frowned and asked Ye Fan.
"This … Yes."
Ye Fan replied.
"How confident are you?" Ye Kong asked directly.
"If there's no outside disturbance, I'm 80% confident," Ye Fan replied.
He had already studied the checkpoints of the two realms many times. As for the method to break through, he was even more confident. As long as there were no outside disturbances, he was 80% confident!
"How long will it take to train?" Ye Kong asked.
"If everything goes well, it will take about an hour," Ye Fan replied. "It won't take more than an hour."
"If that's the case, then let father guard it for you," Ye Kong said after pondering for a while.
"You … You'll guard it?" Ye Fan asked Ye Kong in surprise.
"Hong Ji and I will guard the cave door for you. You just need to focus on your training. Leave the rest to us."
Ye Kong picked up the wine cup on the table and drank it in one gulp …
Rumble …
Two hours later, the stone door of Lingyun Cave opened. Ye Kong, dressed in white, and Akatsuki, who was carrying Baihu in her arms, walked out of the cave door one after another.
Behind the two of them, the Fire Kirin, whose body was shrouded in flames, shook its head as it walked out.
In order to ensure the safety of Ye Kong and Akatsuki, Ye Fan also released the Fire Kirin from the Yin Yang Ghost Seal.
The Fire Kirin was a Heavenly Realm Spirit Beast. It was the king of all flames. With it around, the two of them would be safe.
Rumble …
The stone door slammed shut.
"Fire Kirin, take Xiao Zhao and stand guard at the top of the mountain. If anything happens, report to me immediately."
After walking out of the cave, Ye Kong turned around and said to the Fire Kirin.
The Fire Kirin had ten thousand years of cultivation and was also an Ancient Spirit Beast. Its perception was extremely strong. If it stood guard at the top of Phoenix Cry Mountain, it would be able to detect any abnormalities immediately.
Xiao Zhao was very familiar with the Lingyun Cave. With her watching the Fire Kirin, the Fire Kirin wouldn't run around randomly.
"Wu …"
Baihu nodded at Ye Kong, then leaped lightly from Akatsuki's arms onto the Fire Kirin's giant head.
"Roar …"
The blazing Fire Kirin let out a soft roar, then stepped into the air with its four hooves and flew towards the top of Phoenix Cry Mountain!
"Uncle Ye, I'm going to take a look at the back of the mountain and see if there's anything out of the ordinary," Akatsuki said to Ye Kong.
As she spoke, she walked to the edge of the cliff and prepared to use the Cloud Treading Technique to leap into the air.
"With the Fire Kirin standing guard at the top of the mountain, nothing within a five hundred kilometer radius of Phoenix Cry Mountain can escape its eyes. You don't have to go," Ye Kong said to Akatsuki with the Inversed-Scale Sword in hand. "You and I will stand guard at the entrance of the cave and wait for Fan Er to come out."
"I'll listen to Uncle Ye," Akatsuki turned around and replied.
In terms of cultivation, experience, and seniority, Ye Kong was far above her. Of course, she had to listen to Ye Kong's every word.
"Lady Hong Ji, I have a few questions, but I'm not sure if I should ask."
