veloping under my nose all along." Huai Xu said slowly."Haven't you ever wondered how they get those accurate news reports and rankings" Fang Yu asked curiously."I've had doubts, of course, but the Ti...As for breaking the curse, Fang Yu had actually done quite a bit of research.

But Ye Shengxue's curse was not an ordinary one. It was a curse deeply rooted in her bloodline, the curse of a vicious dragon that had lived for countless years.

Fang Yu's research on curses is limited to the scope of humans.

The curse of dragons... Fang Yu was still in the dark about this aspect.

However, Fang Yu believes that all spells in the world have commonalities. As long as time is spent studying them, a way to dispel them can always be found.

Fang Yu closed his eyes and focused his spiritual energy to scan Ye Shengxue's body.

In this process, Fang Yu could clearly see the textures of the curse power attached to the blood vessels.

After about five minutes, Fang Yu let go of his hand and stood up, pacing back and forth in the living room.

"The curse has sunk into the very blood vessels, to such a degree that it seems beyond saving."

Fang Yu touched his chin and looked at Ye Shengxue.

Then, he returned to his room, took out a white sheet of paper and a pen, and according to the texture of the curse's power, calculated the way to deconstruct it.

About thirty minutes later, Fang Yu put down his pen.

At this time, there were already a dozen or so sheets of paper covered in densely written words on the table.

After several calculations, Fang Yu determined that using the traditional method of breaking a curse was impossible to remove the curse from Ye Shengxue's body.

The curse cast by the Swallowing Dragon differs greatly from the curses used by humans.

It can be said that the Curse of the Dragon Eater is simpler and more brutal than most curses humanity has ever mastered, being direct and straightforward.

But precisely because of this, severing ties becomes so difficult.

The power of the curse has fully erupted, and Ye Shengxue is completely enveloped by deathly energy.

Even if Swalloon Dragon voluntarily lifted the curse, it wouldn't necessarily be able to save Ye Shengxue at this point.

Fang Yu glanced at Ye Shengxue.

At this moment, the curse's power had overflowed its bounds, a faint black aura rising on the surface of Ye Shengxue's skin.

The mark crawled from Yè Shèngxuě's neck, slowly extending to her face, about to form a complete pattern.

"Those curses were attached to her body in the form of gas…"

"Gas..."

Perhaps we could try that tactic.

Fang Yu walked to Ye Shengxue's side, his right hand reached out and pressed on top of Ye Shengxue's head.

Then, he silently recited the incantation in his heart.

Soul Devouring Art!

Fang Yu's right hand was engulfed in a swirling vortex of red light.

The curse forces within Ye Shengxue were met with a tremendous pull, surging towards Fang Yu's right hand!

“The effect seems pretty good.” Fang Yu’s eyes lit up.

The curse force entered Fang Yu's body, traveling through his meridians.

It wants to adhere to Fang Yu's meridian barrier.

But Fang Yu's meridian strength perfectly resisted the curse's power, and he channeled it into his dantian with true qi, then forcibly refined it!

Curses, under this refinement, have actually transformed into strands of spiritual energy!

This was beyond Fang Yu's expectations.

He had originally planned to first absorb the curse power from Ye Shengxue's body into his own, and then find a way to expel it.

I didn't expect that, the dantian would be able to refine even such stubborn cursed power into spiritual energy!

"If I had figured out the Devouring Spirit Art four thousand years ago... Tian Dao Sect might have directly ascended to a first-grade sect." Fang Yu thought to himself.

It took Fang Yu nearly five minutes to completely absorb the curse power from Ye Shengxue, not a single bit left.

At this time, Ye Shengxue's complexion had recovered considerably. The deathly aura that had enveloped her had also dissipated completely.

……

Ye Shengxue opened her eyes in a daze, consciousness slowly returning.

The last image in her memory was Fang Yu taking her away from the Ye family.

The Ye family...

Remembering Ye Shenglong and the deaths of all the members of his tribe, Ye Shengxue's heart was filled with sorrow.

Then, she recalled her father's last words and his madness...

Ye Shengxue's eyes turned red again.

But she quickly regained her composure, looked around and found herself on a sofa in a nicely decorated house.

"You're lucky. No one else in the world could have saved you."

A voice reached Ye Shengxue's ears.

Ye Shengxue was very familiar with that lazy tone.

She turned her head and saw Fang Yu, who had changed into a new outfit, walking in from the balcony.

"Mr. Fang, it was you who saved me..." Ye Shengxue said.

During her coma, she could feel a dull ache in every inch of her skin for a long time, which was very uncomfortable.

But now, this feeling of pain has disappeared.

Fan Yu walked over and sat down on the sofa.

While Ye Shengxue was supporting herself to get up.

Her body was still a little weak, but it was much more comfortable than before.

She suddenly realized something, pulled up her sleeve to take a look, and her face changed.

The curse mark that once existed on her skin has vanished, without a trace!

This indicates...

Ye Shengxue's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief at the fact.

She again pulled up the sleeve of her own left hand and took a look.

"You needn't look any further, the curse on you has been lifted by me." Fang Yu said.

This sentence, like a drop of dew, fell upon Ye Shengxue's heart, which was as barren as a desert.

From the time Ye Shengxue first coughed up blood in elementary school, she knew there was something wrong with her body. Slowly, she learned that it was a curse, that she wouldn't live past twenty years old.

After that, she changed. A huge stone appeared in her heart, an immovable weight that prevented her from ever truly being happy.

But now, this massive stone is shattered.

Her heart suddenly came alive.

"Don't get too excited, the process of breaking the curse is simpler than you think..." Fang Yu said.

"Pff!"

Ye Shengxue suddenly stood up and then knelt down in front of Fang Yu.

"Mr. Fang, thank you..." Ye Shengxue buried her head in the ground and cried.

Her current mood is quite complex.

On the one hand, the tragedy that the Ye family suffered today left her utterly devastated.

But on the other hand, the curse that had plagued her for over a decade was lifted, giving her a new lease on life, and she felt immense joy.

But no matter what, Ye Shengxue could only be certain that Fang Yu was her benefactor.

Fang Yu looked at Ye Shengxue kneeling on the ground and said, "Get up. Don't get your tears and snot on the floor. I don't like cleaning."

"...Yes."

Ye Shengxue's cheeks flushed, and she immediately stood up.

"Mr. Fang's kindness is beyond measure, and I can't repay it. But from now on, if Mr. Fang has any request, Xue will do everything in her power to help him complete it..." Ye Shengxue said with gratitude welling up in her eyes.

"No need, you can't help me with anything. First, take care of your own family affairs." Fang Yu said.

When it came to housework, Ye Shengxue's expression changed. The joy she had just felt vanished instantly.

"I'm feeling a bit sleepy, I need to take a nap. As for you, if you want to stay here, feel free. If you have nowhere else to go, there's a guest room over there," Fang Yu pointed to a room behind him, then turned and went back to his room.

Ye Shengxue stood in place, watching Fang Yu's back, and then sat on the sofa, her expression complex.

……

In the mountainous region bordering Wen'an City in the central area, there is a pristine wilderness.

This mountainous region has remained undeveloped due to its rugged terrain and frequent inclement weather.

So, the mountain region remained abandoned like that, until the greenery withered away and everything died.

This mountainous area has been untouched by human activity for a long time.

But just today, a figure appeared in the midst of this mountainous region.

He slowly walked into the depths of the mountains, until he reached the base of the highest peak.

“This must be the original site of our Ziyangu Palace. Time really flies, doesn't it”

Jiang Dao looked around, a hint of sentimentality and sadness in his eyes.

But soon, these feelings turned into hatred.

If it wasn't for the Heavenly Dao Gate! If it wasn't for that damn Fang Yu! Perhaps their Ziyan Palace could have prospered to this day!

As soon as Jiang Dao thought of Fang Yu, his heart clenched.

Even after thousands of years have passed, the image of this person remains deeply imprinted in his soul, a memory that will never fade.

This man, single-handedly, destroyed the two thousand year heritage of their Ziyanzong.

This man, with a sword, slaughtered every single person in their Ziyan Palace!

Even the venerable elder, who was at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Stage and half a step away from becoming an Immortal, was not his opponent!

In Jiang Dao's memory, the last image of this man was him brandishing a broken sword and beheading the Supreme Elder!

"Bang!"

Jiang Dao slapped himself across the face, stopping himself from dwelling on the memories any further.

Just as he recalled it, the moment he thought of that figure, his body couldn't help but shiver.

A primal fear, born from the soul itself, gripped him, sending a shiver down his spine.

"What am I afraid of! What am I afraid of! It's been over two thousand years! That bastard is long dead! And yet, people from the Ziyán Palace still live! We won that battle! We were victorious!"

"Now, I just need to activate the sect's divine stone, and I can open the inheritance of the Ziyan Palace…"

"With the foundation of our Ziyangu Palace, we will soon once again dominate the world of cultivation!"

Jiang Dao's eyes hardened. He took out a fist-sized, gray stone from his storage pouch.

Then, he sat down cross-legged on the spot, placing the stone before him, closing his eyes, and silently reciting the incantation.

After a few seconds, the stone emitted an eerie purple glow!o people in front of her, her stunning face full of solemnity.The two of them were completely different from how she knew them, like they were different people.Without even considering their cultivati...
