Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 443: The Fang Family Attacks!

The members of the Ye Family rushed in. They saw their clan leader seemingly frozen into an ice sculpture. Wisps of chilling air emanated from his body, making the entire room feel like an ice cave. Everyone was stunned.

Even Ye Qingwu looked confused. "Junior Brother Lin, what is going on?"

Lin Xuan explained, "Senior Sister Ye, don’t panic. Clan Leader Ye is not in mortal danger. In fact, his situation has improved."

"Improved?" Ye Ruxue was furious. "Do you think we’re fools?"

Lin Xuan ignored her and explained to Ye Qingwu, "The toxins in Clan Leader Ye’s body are extremely strange. The moment my Anomalous Fire entered his body, the toxins quickly fled. I was afraid they would harm him further, so I froze his body, sealing the toxins along with it.

"This poison is very sinister and domineering. Although my Anomalous Fire can indeed refine it, the process is slow. This time, I only managed to refine about a tenth of it, which is why I’m keeping Clan Leader Ye frozen for now. Once I completely refine all the toxins in his body and release him from the ice, he will be perfectly fine."

"Really? That’s great!" Ye Qingwu was overjoyed.

Madam Ye, however, said, "Elder Jiuyin, please investigate immediately." She was still somewhat skeptical of Lin Xuan’s words.

Elder Jiuyin went over to investigate. A moment later, he exclaimed excitedly, "The toxins really are frozen, and there are far fewer of them! They were actually refined by the Anomalous Fire! Young Master Lin, you are truly amazing!"

Elder Jiuyin rushed over to Lin Xuan, his face filled with excitement. He bowed deeply and said, "Young Master, you are truly the savior of our Ye Family!"

It was true! The clan leader was going to be saved! Everyone was ecstatic, and Madam Ye breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"Young Master Lin, thank you so much," she said. "If it weren’t for you, my husband might already be dead. You saved my husband, and you rescued the Ye Family! How can I ever repay you?"

What? This boy really saved Father! Ye Ruxue was dumbfounded. It was another harsh slap to the face for her.

Seeing Lin Xuan standing in the center of the crowd, adored by all like the moon surrounded by stars, Ye Ruxue’s heart suddenly fluttered. Lin Xuan is already so charming and handsome. To be a third-grade Alchemy Master at such a young age and possess an Anomalous Fire... his future prospects are undoubtedly limitless. He could become a Pill King, or even surpass one! If I could marry someone like him, my own future would be magnificent!

Thinking of this, Ye Ruxue approached Lin Xuan. "Young Master Lin, you’re so amazing. I misunderstood you before, and I apologize." Her voice was gentle, her demeanor docile and charming—a complete departure from her previous arrogance. "Young Master Lin, are you free? I’d like to treat you to a meal to thank you properly."

Ye Ruxue was very confident in herself. She was exceptionally beautiful and had countless suitors on Dragon Island. In her mind, Lin Xuan would surely agree to dine with her.

"No need," Lin Xuan said, waving his hand and directly refusing her.

Ye Ruxue was stunned. He actually refused me? What kind of joke is this? I was actually rejected by this kid! She was absolutely infuriated. Then, seeing Lin Xuan laughing and chatting happily with Ye Qingwu, she was suddenly overwhelmed with jealousy.

"Alright, let’s not all stand around here," Madam Ye said with a smile. "Young Master Lin, we must host you properly."

Subsequently, Madam Ye arranged a banquet to treat Lin Xuan. In return, Lin Xuan promised to stay with the Ye Family until he had helped remove all the poison from Clan Leader Ye. This finally set Madam Ye’s mind completely at ease. And so, Lin Xuan took up residence in the Ye Family estate.

「Meanwhile.」

The Fang Family was going mad. Several days had passed, and they still hadn’t found out who had killed their young master.

"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!" Clan Leader Fang roared. "If you can’t find the murderer, you will all die! You can all be buried with my grandson!"

The Fang Family’s martial artists knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.

At this moment, an elder spoke up. "I do have a few clues, but I’m not sure if they’re useful."

"What clues?" Clan Leader Fang asked coldly.

"They’re about the Ye Family," the elder replied. "Yesterday, the Ye Family held a grand banquet in celebration. I sent someone to inquire, and it seems Clan Leader Ye has been saved."

Hearing this, Clan Leader Fang was taken aback. Wasn’t the Clan Leader of the Ye Family poisoned? I thought the poison could only be cured with the Seven-Colored Glazed Pill. Besides our Fang Family, who has a fourth-grade Alchemy Master that could save him?

"That’s the puzzling part, which is why I had someone dig deeper," the elder continued. "It seems an outsider has arrived at the Ye Family—a man from off Dragon Island who also appears to be an Alchemy Master. Furthermore, he has a very close relationship with Ye Qingwu. That Ye Qingwu has always resisted Young Master Fang Fan. Do you think it could be..."

"Are you saying the Ye Family killed Fang Fan?" Clan Leader Fang thundered.

"I don’t think the Ye Family would dare," the elder mused. "But that new Alchemy Master might have. The Ye Family are natives of Dragon Island; if they were caught, their entire clan could be annihilated. That Alchemy Master, however, can leave Dragon Island at any time, allowing him to act without consequence."

Clan Leader Fang considered this and realized it was a real possibility. He shot to his feet and ordered coldly, "Gather the family’s forces! We’re going to the Ye Family to arrest that Alchemy Master!"

Soon, a host of experts were charging furiously toward the Ye Family estate. The move instantly sent shockwaves through Dragon Island, and the various families erupted in discussion.

"What’s going on? Why is the Fang Family mobilizing so many experts?"

"I heard that the Fang Family’s young master, Fang Fan, was killed."

"What? Someone dared to kill the Fang young master? Are they tired of living?"

"Then the Fang Family must be out for revenge."

"Damn, who did it?"

"No matter who it is, they’re in for a miserable end for daring to challenge the Fang Family."

All eyes were on the Fang Family. Soon, they realized the contingent was heading toward the Ye Family’s estate.

"What’s happening? Why are they going to the Ye Family?"

"Didn’t Fang Fan want to marry Ye Qingwu?"

"But Ye Qingwu always refused him. You don’t think the Ye Family killed Fang Fan, do you?"

"Impossible. The Ye Family doesn’t have the guts. Not only is their clan leader poisoned, but even if he were at his peak, they wouldn’t dare challenge the Fang Family. After all, Clan Leader Ye is only a nine-star Grandmaster, while the Fang Family has a Great Grandmaster. The power gap between them is just too vast. The Ye Family would have to have a death wish to kill Fang Fan."

The crowd agreed that made sense. So why was the Fang Family heading to the Ye Family?

Just then, someone else chimed in, "The Ye Family held a very grand banquet recently. I heard someone managed to save their clan leader."

"What? Someone saved Clan Leader Ye?"

"Impossible. Only a fourth-grade Alchemy Master could do that. Where would the Ye Family find a fourth-grade Alchemy Master?"

"Damn, I get the feeling the Fang Family is going after this fourth-grade Alchemy Master!"

"You’re not wrong. This Alchemy Master is supposedly very close with Ye Qingwu."

"Damn! Don’t tell me this fourth-grade Alchemy Master is the one who killed Young Master Fang Fan?"

Gasps of shock echoed through the crowd. This was going to cause a massive uproar! Everyone watched with frantic attention.

「Ye Family.」

The steward came running over again, his face pale with panic. "Madam, this is terrible!"

"What is it now?" Madam Ye jumped, startled. The last time the steward had looked this panicked was when Fang Fan had died. What major incident had occurred this time? Her heart leaped into her throat.

"Clan Leader Fang has brought countless experts and is on his way to attack!"

What? Upon hearing this, Madam Ye’s face turned green. Why was the Fang Family coming here? And with so many experts? They hadn’t done anything to offend the Fang Family!

The steward quickly explained, "The rumor outside is that Young Master Lin is connected to Fang Fan’s death. They’re all saying Young Master Lin killed him!"
