Chapter 29-Silence
The night was long and the street was lonely.
The moonlight shone on the huge bluestone pavement, emitting a white light like water. The sound of hooves galloped over like rhythmic drums.
The one riding on the horse was Ye Hai, who worked in the yamen. He had just finished the banquet and went to a gambling house to try his luck. He was in a good mood today. After all, killing a legitimate descendant of the Ye family was still quite exciting for him.
That kid should have destroyed the corpse long ago, right? Ye Hai thought so. He didn't dare to contact the Dragon Snake Gang. If Ye Haoran investigated in the future, he could also clear his name.
He was just a fool. Even if he wasn't a fool anymore, he didn't have any feelings for Ye Haoran, so he probably wouldn't ask. Ye Hai comforted himself, feeling a little proud of himself.
"Brat, who told you to hit my mother! Otherwise, wouldn't you have escaped if I had helped you back then? Sigh, people, it's all their own fault!”Ye Hai sighed.
"Yeah, it's all your own fault.”Suddenly, a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft came from the front.
"Who is it?" Ye Hai suddenly pulled the reins. The horse neighed and raised its two front hooves high. Then, it stepped on the bluestone road with a bang, splashing a faint smoke and dust.
"It's you!" Ye Hai opened his drunken eyes and saw a young man in green standing in the middle of the road.
The huge moon was like a basin, and the stone pavement was as bright as the surface of water. Ye Kong stood there calmly, the night breeze gently ruffling the hem of his clothes.
"Are you surprised to see me?”Ye Kong's calm voice drifted over with the night breeze.
"Were you waiting for me?" Ye Hai slowly touched the long saber on his waist and said," Since you escaped, you should know how to cherish your life. Do you have to die in my hands?"”
Ye Hai didn't know how this kid had managed to escape, but it was obvious that this kid already knew that he was behind this. Therefore, he couldn't let Ye Kong live, and he was already determined to kill him.
"Since I'm waiting for you here alone, how can I be here to die?”Ye Kong left Hidden Spring Brothel in a hurry to get rid of Ye Hai. Otherwise, the lie he had told Fan Nine Snakes 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 merciless!"”
"Take a look at my saber technique!" After saying that, Ye Hai waved his saber and urged his horse, ready to kill this reckless brat.
Ye Konglin stood still. When Ye Hai got closer, his pupils suddenly contracted, and Ying Yu's martial arts appeared in his mind.
Ye Kong roared, and using the martial arts he learned from Shadow Jade, he leaped into the air and gracefully spun a few times in the air, like a dharmakaya floating above the water, easily dodging the blade's attack.
"Your movements are quite fancy, but against me, it's still a word, die!”Ye Hai wasn't bluffing. He suddenly reined in the horse's head and stopped right in front of Ye Kong. His large saber danced in the air as it slashed toward Ye Kong's face.
Ye Kong resisted the urge to throw the large stack of talismans in his hand at his face, and continued to use the moves that Shadow Jade had in his mind to face his enemy.
He soared into the sky and faced the saber light. 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! The elegant green dress under the moon exuded a peerless charm.
"Bang!" Ye Hai's arm was accurately kicked by him. His long saber flew far away and fell to the ground with a clang. Even Ye Hai fell off his horse from this kick.
Ye Kong walked over and looked at Ye Hai, who was trying to get up. His heart was filled with surprise. What kind of martial arts was this Shadow Jade? It was so powerful that he had only seen it once and learned a few moves, and even an expert like Ye Hai was no match for it.
"I've seen your blade technique, now I'll let you see my talisman technique!”
Ye Hai was dead. Leng Leng's body lay in the middle of the street for a night. What made the officials feel strange was that there was only a small wound, but all his blood had flowed out.
No one in the Ye Residence suspected Ye Kong. No one would have thought that this ill-tempered, ignorant, and incompetent fellow could kill the highly skilled Ye Hai. Even Granny Hu couldn't have guessed it, but Granny Hu had restrained herself a lot since then.
Ye Kong wasn't in the mood to argue with an old woman, and he didn't have the time. The next day, he went to find the Lu brothers early in the morning and took them to take over the northern city district.
Cangnan Continent's B Society was still in its infancy. The so-called venues were basically just some thief gangs and beggar gangs. The only fixed income was the four arenas in the North District.
Ye Kong hadn't expected that the arena in the middle of the street was actually controlled by a gang. Not only did this place have a fixed income, but it was also a good place to recruit talents.
The Lu brothers were originally from the North District, so they were very familiar with this area. They knew all the experts and low-level players in these places, so they quickly absorbed a lot of members.
While Ye Kong was busy, Fan Jiulong and Fan Jiushe were also busy. Although no one in the Ye Residence had thought of the connection between Ye Kong and Ye Hai's murder, Fan Jiushe was still able to guess the truth.
"Brother, I have good news for you. Ye Hai was killed!”Fan Nine Snakes was extremely excited.
Fan Jiulong was not stupid. He immediately thought of it." Did he do it?”
"Of course. Ye Hai died so strangely. Who else could it be other than him? He's killing us to silence us."
Fan Jiulong smiled." That explains his guilt even more. It seems that the disciple of Wanxuan Zhenren is fake."”
He suddenly thought of what he said last night and quickly asked," Brother, why did you say yesterday that you wouldn't let me absorb his power?”
"It's like this. Don't be in a hurry and listen to me slowly.”
The cause and effect of this matter began with the barbarian cultivation method that Fan Nine Snake had accidentally obtained. This kind of cultivation method was actually a kind of cultivation method between immortal cultivation and demonic cultivation.
Generally speaking, immortal cultivators absorbed the spiritual energy of the five elements between heaven and earth, while demonic cultivators liked to cultivate demonic energy or death energy. However, the cultivation method of the barbarians was in between. This kind of cultivation method still absorbed spiritual energy, but not the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, but the spiritual energy in the body of other immortal cultivators.
The advantage of this cultivation method was that it did not matter if one had a spiritual root, as long as one absorbed enough other immortal cultivators.
The method of absorption was very cruel. It was known as stealing the pill and destroying the cauldron. Simply put, it was to first torture the person who was absorbed until he was in unbearable pain and lost his desire to live. When the connection between the divine sense and the sea of vital energy was the weakest, he would use his hand as a knife to stab into the other party's sea of vital energy and absorb the spiritual energy in his body.
Fan Nine Snakes was overjoyed when he obtained this cultivation method, but he soon discovered that cultivation was not that easy. He himself was a cultivator at the lowest level, so where could he catch a cultivator of a lower level than him?
After killing a few children who had just started cultivating near a small cultivation clan, Fan Nine Snake had only just reached the third qi layer. Just as he was about to continue capturing them, he was discovered by the cultivation clan.
He was lucky enough to escape with his life after being chased and intercepted. He returned to the Southern Capital with serious injuries. From then on, he did not dare to capture people to cultivate. His brother, Fan Jiulong, also wanted to cultivate the barbarian techniques, but he was troubled by the lack of low-level immortal cultivators for him to absorb.
Ye Kong's appearance had given him hope. Fan Jiulong wanted to capture Ye Kong and absorb his Spirit Qi so that he could become an Immortal.
However, Fan Nine Snakes had a different idea. He said," Big brother, even if you absorb Ye Kong's spiritual energy, you'll only be at the first layer of the Aura Refining realm at best. With me at the third layer, we still won't be able to catch any Immortal cultivators in the future, and we still won't be able to advance.”
Fan Jiulong nodded and asked," Brother, do you have an idea? If you have something to say, just say it."”
Fan Nine Snakes took out a palm-sized sword from his waist pocket. The sword was gray in color and light, but it was extremely sharp. He didn't know what material it was made of.
" Big brother, I've obtained this magical treasure from the remains of a barbarian cultivator for twenty years, but I've never been able to use it. That's because only mid-stage Aura Refining cultivators can use magical treasures…What I mean is that if I absorb Ye Kong's spiritual energy, I might be able to reach the fourth level of Aura Refining. When that time comes, I'll refine this small sword magical treasure, and my strength will definitely increase greatly. At that time, I'll be able to go out and hunt down low-level cultivators from those small clans and sects, and we won't have to worry about the cultivation vessels we need anymore.”
Fan Jiulong nodded repeatedly after hearing this." My brother's method is still more reliable. I've waited for more than ten years, so I don't mind waiting a little longer. I think it's better for you to absorb Ye Kong."”
Fan Nine-Snake put away his magic weapon and frowned again." The spiritual energy required to advance from the third level of Qi Refinement to the fourth level of Qi Refinement is extraordinary. That kid from the Ye family has only cultivated for a year and a half. I'm afraid that even if I absorb him, it won't be enough."”
Fan Jiulong smiled." What's so difficult about that? We'll just wait. He's at the first qi layer now. We'll wait until he reaches the second qi layer before we attack him. Anyway, he won't surpass the third qi layer, so little brother doesn't have to be afraid of him."”
Fan Nine Snakes touched the small sword magic tool in his pocket and said helplessly," It looks like you'll have to lie in my pocket for a year and a half."”
Fan Jiulong said worriedly," Brother, that kid is very smart and cunning. Will he get into trouble?"”
"Don't worry, big brother. I still have a treasure here. It's a low-grade middle-grade spirit talisman, the Firebird Technique! Even if he reached the third qi layer, he wouldn't be able to dodge it, let alone the first qi layer!”
"Haha, good!"
In fact, Ye Kong also knew that killing Ye Hai alone wouldn't work. On that day, when Daoist Wanxuan didn't accept him, all the disciples and servants of the Ye Family knew about it. He couldn't just kill all of them, could he?
Sooner or later, Fan Nine Snakes would realize that he had been deceived. Ye Kong didn't dare to waste any time. He took Lu Jun and Lu Yi with him and accepted the challenge. Then, he bought some talisman paper and cinnabar pills, and went back to make a lot of paper talismans for escaping, such as Invisibility Talismans and Divine Travel Talismans.
However, Ye Kong was still worried. These paper talismans might be powerful for mortals, but they were useless against Fan Nine Snakes. So, he thought of Shadow Jade.
The kung fu in the Shadow Jade was indeed magical. If he could practice it thoroughly, coupled with his Five Elements Ascension to Immortality Scripture and endless paper talismans, he should have a chance of escaping from Fan Jiushe.
Ye Kong hadn't forgotten about Ying Yu's martial arts, and neither had Lu Qin. She felt that Ye Kong had already grasped the martial arts in her precious jade, and she was at a disadvantage, so she begged Ye Kong to teach her the moves he had learned.
Ye Kong didn't refuse. A man and a woman working together wouldn't make training tiring. Although Lu Qin wasn't as chubby as the women in the Hidden Spring Brothel, she was still a pretty little girl. That was a different kind of beauty.
Time flowed like water. Another few months passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Kong finally turned fourteen.
