The Puppet Corpse Sect originally originated from Xiangxi, where a group of corpse herders created some Rune Talismans to stick onto the corpses. This was to facilitate the transportation of the bodies and to control their movements, also preventing them from turning into violent zombies.
Later, some of these people gradually took another path, beginning to consider using Rune Talismans to control paper men and even control living people, engaging in illegal acts!
Murdering and robbing, stealing chickens and dogs!
In the inheritance of the ring, there were also some detailed techniques of the Puppet Corpse Sect. Although Ye Fan had never used them, he was very clear about the specific commands and techniques.
Facing the attacking paper men, Ye Fan didn’t use any Martial Arts Qi. He simply stretched out his hand and formed several seals in the air, then suddenly smashed them towards the ground!
“Arise!”
As the resounding voice echoed, a golden Eight Trigrams pattern pressed down towards the ground.
The instant it touched the ground, golden radiance began to surge outwards.
The paper men, carrying fierce killing moves, immediately stopped their actions and stiffened in mid-air as the radiance reached them.
The surrounding fog also instantly dispersed!
Three meters away, Priest Yan, who was picking up his battle saber, had just prepared to run off when he saw the dispersing fog. He stood rooted to the spot, utterly incredulous as he looked at Ye Fan within the Eight Trigrams Formation.
“How… how is this possible… how could you be such a freak of nature?”
Priest Yan had heard that Ye Fan was an incredibly gifted freak of nature, having reached the Grandmaster Realm at the age of fifteen. But he never expected Ye Fan’s talent in geomancy to be just as monstrous. His own Eight Sons Filial Piety to Mother Formation was broken, the Seven Stars Lethal Formation was broken, and even his Puppet Corpse Evil Control Technique was so effortlessly unraveled by Ye Fan.
Whoosh whoosh!
Before Priest Yan could react, he was horrified to find that the paper assassins, originally nurtured and controlled by himself, had all turned direction and were frantically besieging him.
“Ah?” Priest Yan’s mouth hung open in shock as he hurriedly formed seals in an attempt to stop the paper assassins’ attack, but he found that no matter what seals he used, they were useless.
Even if Priest Yan bit his fingers and drew blood, using his essence as a guide, he still couldn’t control the paper assassins.
Plop! Plop!
In the midst of disbelief, Priest Yan could only watch as five paper assassins plunged their battle sabers through his chest.
“Wooh… you… how did you do it… tell me…” Priest Yan looked at Ye Fan in shock. Even at death’s door, he couldn’t comprehend why Ye Fan knew the Puppet Corpse Sect’s methods.
Ye Fan let out a cold laugh, “Because, I am your ancestor!”
As his voice fell, Ye Fan waved his hand, and a flickering Qi force enveloped Priest Yan. In an instant, Priest Yan’s body turned into a pile of ash, along with those paper men, vanishing without a trace.
A gust of wind came, sweeping up the dust from the ground!
If it weren’t for the huge pit left behind by the excavator on the ground, no one would have guessed that a Mao Mountain Sect Grandmaster had just fallen here.
When Guo Li and Su Yixue rushed over, Ye Fan had already returned to his foolish appearance.
“Bad guys, bad guys have been driven away!” Ye Fan said to Su Yixue with a naive smile, warming her heart and bringing a surge of pity. She stepped forward gently, embracing Ye Fan tenderly, her face full of affection.
This little uncle and husband of hers might often be out of his mind, but he was always protective of his sisters-in-law.
Even in his foolish state, as soon as she suffered any grievances or danger, Ye Fan would not hesitate to step in immediately.
Poor Ye Fan, get well soon!
When Ye Fan embraced Su Yixue, his wrist felt her body to confirm that there was no malignant aura left in her. Only then did he relax.
But a new worry cropped up in his heart!
The Ye Family’s adversaries seemed to be changing their tactics now.
Knowing they would gain nothing from acting against Ye Fan, they began targeting the people around him.
Alas!
He must eradicate all those adversaries as soon as possible to have peaceful days ahead!
Additionally, he had to urgently strengthen Su Yixue and Yu Linglong’s capabilities, giving them the power to protect themselves.
And the quickest way to enhance Su Yixue and the others’ strength was through more intimate contact.
Ye Fan glanced at Su Yixue. She had been with him for some time now and had grown healthier in complexion due to his nurturing, and even her Martial Arts Qi had already reached the Control Realm.
If she practiced Martial Arts Techniques and supplemented them with Elixir Pills, breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm wouldn’t be much of a problem.
Once she reached the Grandmaster Realm, it wouldn’t be so easy for others to harm Su Yixue.
After all, in the Martial Arts path, masters of the Grandmaster level are not common as cabbages.
Ye Fan reached the factory and, like a madman, wreaked havoc on the almost completed structure, destroying it completely; all the landscaping needed to be redone. This time, it was Guo Li who personally arranged for the construction crew to come over.
As they left the site, from the side of the factory, inside a building, a young man’s face retracted its gaze from the factory’s entrance and reported to another young man sitting in the room, “Young Master Feng, the Formation that Priest Yan laid out has been completely dismantled, and the plan to use the Formation against Su Yixue has utterly failed! Moreover, I suspect that Priest Yan must have betrayed you!”
In the room, a young man dressed in a black T-shirt sat in the seat of honor, holding a cup of tea. He took a light sip and said indifferently, “Failure was inevitable. Involving Priest Yan was merely a feeler move. However, failing this quickly is indeed somewhat unexpected.”
This young man was none other than Feng Hanshao, the onlooker from a distance during Jin Yang’s attack on Ye Fan!
“This time, I have confirmed that Ye Fan is definitely not a fool, but pretending to be one,” Feng Hanshao’s mouth curled into a demonic smile, “Although that Scholar Guo from the Provincial City Guo Family is not lacking in wits, I doubt he is a match for Priest Yan!”
“Continue to keep an eye on Ye Fan and observe for some time; our game is officially about to start!”
“Yes!”
…
Returning to Cloud City, Su Yixue had to go back to the company to deal with business matters!
Ye Fan, along with Guo Li and the Four Great Maids, went back to the Ye Family’s old residence and gathered the forces of the Legitimate Line left by his mother, including Han Youyue, Liu Wuyang, Xia Hao, Lei Qianjue, as well as Tianji Pavilion’s Yu Qiang, and Wandering Soul Captain Niu Er had all arrived!
“Everyone, you did not abandon the Ye Family during its most critical time. On behalf of the Ye Family, I, Ye Fan, thank you all,” Ye Fan bowed to everyone, “Moreover, only you are clear about the truth of my awakening!”
“Now, I have nearly cleared out all the enemies’ pawns in Cloud City. I’m planning to take a trip to the Provincial City and also visit the Xuanwu Battle Zone to investigate the specific circumstances of my second brother’s death by assault and to look for something… Therefore, the situation in Cloud City needs some arrangements!”
“Director Xia, Lord Hu under your command, along with Captain Niu Er, should protect both Cloud City Ye Family headquarters and the Su Family’s safety! Elder Yu, your subordinates need to begin spreading towards the Provincial City… I remember some Vassal Families have been restless for a while; this trip will also be a good opportunity to bring them into line!”
“Liu Wuyang, you need to accelerate the plan to integrate your resources and build the new business conglomerate. When we fully fall out with our enemies, we’ll need a vast amount of financial support, all depending on you!”
What Ye Fan did not explicitly tell everyone was that he had come to suspect that his mother had connections with the Divine Gate, which meant they might face even more challenges in the future…
But at present, the most pressing matter was revenge!
He had to eliminate all of the Ye Family’s enemies, avenge the Ye Family’s Heroic Spirits, and secure a glorious future for the Ye Family…
