C14 The Black Blade
The search lasted for two days and two nights. The Baili Family had been searched almost once. Apart from finding the gold and silver stolen by a few servants and the Spring Palace Painting Scroll hidden by a few disciples, there was no other harvest.
In a fit of rage, Baili Changxi cut off an arm of each of the servants and expelled them from the Baili Family. The disciples were punished to shut themselves up and reflect on their mistakes for a year. They were not allowed to take a single step outside.
The matter of the late night thieves was finally settled. Every day, Baili Changxi would discuss with the four hall masters of the east, west, south, and north halls about the matter of the disciples joining the sect. However, the security in the prefecture had obviously increased. The disciples of each hall would take turns patrolling day and night, guarding the Baili Family tightly.
On this day, the sky was dark and gloomy, as if it was going to collapse at any moment.
Dia hurried all the way to the woodshed, pulled up Ye Fei and walked towards his room.
Ye Faang and Second Guardian were confused. They knew there must be a reason, so they let her pull. As soon as they entered the room, Dia hurriedly said, "Ye Faang, I have to go. "
"You're leaving?" Ye Faang was shocked and his heart suddenly tightened.
Dia nodded sadly and said, "After Master received my message, he had some understanding and precautions against what the Fierce Wind Sect did. There is no need to stay here any longer. He ordered me to return to the Supreme Palace in three days, so I have to leave now. "
"Then, will you come back?" The young man's eyes were filled with anticipation and confusion. Ding Fen had left, and Dia was leaving as well. Was it destined that I would have to live alone?
Dia actually did not want to leave either. She had known Ye Faang for a few months. It could be said that it was the most comfortable and unrestrained day since she was born. She did not have the fear she had in the past. She also did not have the hostility of her seniors and brothers. When she was with the young man, she could be frank and frank. He could tell each other his true feelings, not to mention. . . She saved her life. In the dark night, two martial arts masters jumped high into the air. They struck out with their four palms, but an ordinary youth desperately blocked in front of him. After enduring the fatal blow, this scene appeared in her mind countless times. Under the oil lamp. . . A young girl and a young man sat together, whispering to each other. When she recalled this ambiguous scene, it also caused the beautiful young girl to blush. She couldn't help but feel shy. However, it was hard to disobey her master's orders. The deadline was three days. If she didn't leave soon, it would be too late.
Will he come back? Even a girl with a heart of seven orifices wouldn't be able to give an answer. Cultivators and Mortal Realm were two different worlds. Once they returned to their sect, they would probably never be able to see each other again.
However, must they come back to see each other?
Dia's beautiful eyes lit up. "Ye Faang, didn't you say you wanted to cultivate? Now, there is a chance!"
"Really? What is it?"
Ye Faang asked in surprise. As long as he could cultivate, he was afraid that he would not be able to meet Dia.
Dia saw his anxious expression and said in amusement, "Look at you. You are like a child. Do you know that in three months, it will be the recruitment day for the Star Seizing Tower in Cultivation Realm? As long as you can pass their test, you will be able to enter and learn cultivation. "
"Star Seizing Tower? Dia, I don't think there is a Star Seizing Tower in the Six Righteous and Four Evil Sects that you told me about last time!" Ye Faang asked in surprise.
Dia nodded and said," Yes, strictly speaking, the Star Seizing Tower is not a sect. It is a place jointly established by the Six Righteous Alliance to recruit and nurture reserve disciples. The six major sects took turns to be Tower Lord and took turns once every ten years. Recruiting a batch of disciples every ten years. Anyone who wanted to cultivate or had cultivated for real could sign up. However, it was very difficult to pass their test. For those who had never cultivated before, Only those with great perseverance will be able to pass. "
"After passing, you can learn cultivation techniques?"
"Yes. " Dia looked at him with encouragement. "After becoming a disciple of Star Seizing Tower, you can freely choose a cultivation technique to practice. There will be a specialized master to tutor you. After reaching a certain level of cultivation, you can join the six big sects. "
Ye Faang was overwhelmed with emotions. As long as he joined any of the six sects, he would be able to embark on the path of cultivation. However, he secretly made up his mind that Fierce Wind Sect would never join him.
"Three months. . . Three months. . . " Ye Faang muttered to himself. His thoughts had already flown to three months later.
"Little. . . Faang!" Dia already knew his little name a long time ago, but calling him here for the first time seemed very awkward. And there was also a little bit of shyness.
Ye Faang, on the other hand, was immersed in joy and did not notice her strange behavior. "Oh, what is it?"
Dia said, "I am leaving now. You must remember that you must reach Red City Mountain in three months. At that time, there will be people from the Star Seizing Tower to guide you. "
Ye Faang nodded firmly. "No matter what difficulties there are, I can definitely become a disciple of the Star Seizing Tower. "
His eyes were fixed on Dia, full of reluctance.
Dia lowered her head shyly, thinking to herself that it was not shameful for this fool to look at her like this. Forcibly suppressing the emotions in her heart, she said, "I have to leave first. Faang, after you reach the Star Seizing Tower, we will naturally meet again. "
The two young men and women who had just had their first love affair bid each other farewell. They were both reluctant to part with each other and were filled with endless reluctance to part with each other. The attitude of their children was completely revealed.
It was precisely the separation of love and sorrow since ancient times. Tears drenched the green clothes, and they were looking forward to reuniting!
"You're leaving?"
Steward Liu's words were like the ice of the snowy night. It was so cold that it made one feel uncomfortable.
Ye Fang, who was standing in front of him, looked calm. He said to the manager, who everyone feared, neither servile nor overbearing, "Yes. "
"Why?"
" The agreement between me and the Second Lady that day was one year. Now that the one year period has ended, I naturally have to leave. "
Steward Liu narrowed his eyes and sized him up. He said slowly: "If you want to leave, I will not stop you. But you were brought in by Second Miss. This matter must be reported to her. Furthermore, it will take some time for you to settle your salary. How about this, at this time tomorrow, you can leave. "
Ye Faang thought about it in his heart. He did not need to rush to this day and agreed.
Looking at Ye Faang's back as he walked out of the door, a ferocious smile suddenly appeared on Steward Liu's face.
Ten miles to the south of Fuzhou City was a hillside that had been barren for a long time. After some of the poor families died, they had no money to bury them. Thus, a straw mat was rolled up and buried here. After some of the homeless people died, they were also lifted up and thrown here, becoming a true mass grave.
Due to the lack of human habitation, this place was full of weeds, wild beasts roaming about. In addition, there were many graves scattered all over the place, and there were even some bones that were faintly visible. Even during the day, when they passed by this place, they could still feel the chilly wind.
Ye Faang was currently standing in a mass grave. Steward Liu, unlike his usual behavior, insisted on sending him off. Along with him were Xiao Yingloong, Dai Yi, and the other two disciples that Ye Faang knew. These people carried Long Swords with them. Their expressions were cold, and they ignored Ye Fangli. Ye Faang would never believe that they were here to send him off.
Feeling the cold and gloomy atmosphere, a sense of unease flashed through Ye Faang's heart.
"Steward Liu, thank you for coming to see me off. This place is far away from the city. Please return!"
Steward Liu gave the four of them a look. The four of them quickly formed a circle and surrounded Ye Faang.
"If I knew you were up to no good, I would have told you. What do you want?" Ye Faang's expression turned cold. The vortex in his body circulated rapidly, and the strength in his body suddenly expanded. The black blade let out an excited buzzing sound, and quietly slipped into Ye Faang's hand.
Steward Liu and the others let out proud laughter. Dai Yi laughed as he said, "Big broom, do you really think that I have nothing to do and come to send you? Let me tell you, my sons are here to send you on your way to hell, haha!"
Steward Liu almost burst into tears. He pointed at Ye Faang and said, "Ye Faang, you shouldn't have provoked Senior Brother Xiao and Senior Brother Dai, and you shouldn't have made the young master unhappy. Today, we are here under the orders of the young master to take your life. "
Ye Faang knew that he couldn't let this matter go. The other party was clearly trying to kill him. In the face of five powerful enemies, Ye Faang didn't even have a chance of winning. Furthermore, the opponent had already planned to seal off their escape route. It seemed like they could only fight to the death.
The tension and hatred made his palms full of sweat. He gripped his only weapon, the black blade, with his right hand. Ye Faang's current mood was like a hero who was willing to die.
Dia, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you anymore. This was the thought that flashed through Ye Faang's mind.
"Go!"
With a shout, four sword lights swept towards Ye Faang like a waterfall. Four martial arts masters actually joined hands to attack an ordinary person who did not know martial arts. If news of this spread to the martial arts world, it would definitely cause a huge commotion. On the other hand, it also showed Baili Sheng's determination to kill Ye Faang.
Sword qi swept about, creating a hissing sound as it pierced through the air.
Ye Fei was about to be swallowed by the four sword Qi - something unexpected happened!
A pitch black curved blade that looked like a soul reaper from the Underworld fiercely slashed at the four of them with a thunderous momentum.
The black waves surged madly, and it seemed as if countless evil spirits were wailing and screaming. Everyone's hearts inexplicably spasmed, and they felt extremely uncomfortable. Xiao Yingloong and the others were affected by this, and the swords in their hands couldn't help but stop moving.
"Not good, quickly retreat!" Steward Liu's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted.
However, it was too late. Wherever the black blade passed by, it was as if it was cutting tofu, and there was no resistance at all. The Long Sword of the four men were cut off one by one, and the black wave swallowed the four of them in one go.
"Ao!"
Amidst the miserable cries, blood splattered, and severed limbs soared into the sky.
Xiao Yingloong and Dai Yi's hair were disheveled and their bodies were covered in blood. They stumbled and fell to the ground. The other two disciples had already turned into minced meat. Only the few pieces of flesh with blood on them proved that they had once existed. Ye Faang pointed his black blade forward like a Heavenly God, displaying his might without being angry. Even he himself did not expect this blade to be so powerful.
Steward Liu flew forward and pulled the two of them back. His eyes were no longer filled with arrogance, but fear. The power of one slash, two deaths and two injuries. Even Baili Changxi could not do this, but Ye Faang did it.
His voice began to tremble. " You. . . You. . . You are a cultivator?"
Ye Faang thought quickly and did not deny it under such circumstances. He said proudly," That's right, I am. "
Steward Liu's face turned pale. He did not expect this young man in front of him to be a legendary self-cultivator. The Baili Family had even tried to kill him time and time again without knowing what had happened. He knew in his heart that this young man was a self-cultivator. Even if he brought all the disciples of the Baili family here, he still wouldn't be a match for them. He had also witnessed the power of the slash just now. That was definitely a technique that only cultivators had. Now, he could only hurry back and report to the Family Head. Thinking of this, He mustered up his courage and said fiercely, "Ye Faang, I didn't expect you to be hiding in our Baili Family for so long. And now, you even killed a disciple of the Baili Family. Just you wait. The Baili Family will never forgive you! "
After what happened just now, Ye Faang was filled with confidence. Hearing this, he sneered, "If you don't offend me, I won't offend you. You asked for it. If you want to find me, I will be waiting for you. When the time comes, I won't show any mercy. Go back and tell Baili Sheng that there will be a day when. . . I will definitely take his head off to avenge that palm strike. I will definitely return the humiliation that the Baili Family has given me ten times over. "
Steward Liu's facial muscles twitched. With the opponent's strength, there was no way he would send himself to his death. He secretly gritted his teeth and helped Xiao Yingloong and Dai Yi, who were on the verge of fainting, up. Then, he retreated dejectedly.
Retreating with a blade!
Looking at the black blade in his hand, Ye Faang felt a sense of familiarity and familiarity, as though he was a brother.
