Chapter 400 Purple Flame Palace, Resurrection!

For curse removal, Fang Yu had actually done quite a bit of research.

But the curse afflicting Ye Shengxue wasn’t an ordinary curse; it was a curse deeply embedded in her bloodline, and moreover, it was a curse placed by an evil dragon that had lived for an unknown number of years.

Fang Yu’s research on curses was limited to the human realm.

Dragon curses… in this area, Fang Yu was completely blank.

However, Fang Yu believed that all magical arts in the world share common principles. As long as he spent time researching, he could eventually find a way to remove it.

Fang Yu closed his eyes and concentrated, using his spiritual sense to scan Ye Shengxue’s body.

During this process, Fang Yu could clearly see the patterns of the curse power attached to her blood vessels.

About five minutes later, Fang Yu released his hand, stood up, and paced around the living room.

“The curse has penetrated deep into the blood vessels. At this stage, it seems almost beyond saving.”

Fang Yu rubbed his chin, looking at Ye Shengxue.

Then, he returned to his room, took out a piece of white paper and a pen, and began calculating the deconstruction method based on the patterns of the curse power.

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

By now, there were more than a dozen papers covered in dense writing on the table.

After more than a dozen calculations, Fang Yu determined that using traditional curse-removal methods would not be able to eliminate the curse inside Ye Shengxue’s body.

The curse placed by the Devouring Dragon was completely different from the curse techniques used by humans.

One could say that the Devouring Dragon’s curse was simpler, more brutal, and more direct than most curses mastered by humans.

But precisely because of this, removing it would be extremely difficult.

The curse power had fully erupted, and Ye Shengxue’s entire body was wrapped in death energy.

At this stage, even if the Devouring Dragon actively removed the curse, it might not be enough to save Ye Shengxue.

Fang Yu glanced at Ye Shengxue.

By now, the curse power had overflowed to the surface, with faint black mist rising from Ye Shengxue’s skin.

The mark had crawled from Ye Shengxue’s neck and was slowly extending to her face, about to form a complete pattern.

“Those curse powers are all attached inside her body in gaseous form…”

“Gaseous…”

Perhaps he could try that technique.

Fang Yu walked to Ye Shengxue, extended his right hand, and placed it on top of her head.

Then, he silently recited an incantation in his mind.

Spirit Devouring Technique!

A red light vortex appeared on Fang Yu’s right hand.

The curse power inside Ye Shengxue’s body encountered a tremendous suction force and surged toward Fang Yu’s right hand!

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

The curse power entered Fang Yu’s body, passing through his meridians.

It tried to attach itself to the walls of Fang Yu’s meridians.

But the strength of Fang Yu’s meridians perfectly resisted the curse power, and with his true qi, he channeled it into his dantian, forcibly refining it!

Under this refinement, the curse power was actually transformed into threads of spiritual energy!

This was beyond Fang Yu’s expectations.

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

But unexpectedly, his dantian was able to refine even such stubborn curse power into spiritual energy!

“If I had developed the Spirit Devouring Technique four thousand years ago… the Heavenly Dao Sect might have directly ascended to a first-class sect,” Fang Yu thought.

It took nearly five minutes for Fang Yu to completely absorb all the curse power from Ye Shengxue’s body, leaving not a trace behind.

By now, Ye Shengxue’s complexion had improved significantly, and the death energy that had been wrapped around her had completely dissipated.

…

Ye Shengxue opened her eyes groggily, her consciousness slowly returning.

The last scene in her memory was when Fang Yu took her away from the Ye family.

The Ye family…

Thinking of the deaths of Ye Shenglong and the other family members, Ye Shengxue’s heart was filled with grief.

Then, she recalled her father’s final words and madness…

Ye Shengxue’s eyes reddened again.

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

“You’re lucky. Anyone else in the world wouldn’t have been able to save you.”

A voice reached Ye Shengxue’s ears.

The lazy tone was familiar to her.

She turned her head and saw Fang Yu, who had changed into different clothes, walking in from the balcony.

“Mr. Fang, you saved me…” Ye Shengxue said.

During her unconsciousness, for a long time, she could feel pain in every inch of her skin, which was quite uncomfortable.

But now, that pain had disappeared.

Fang Yu walked to a nearby sofa and sat down.

Ye Shengxue supported herself to sit up.

Her body was still somewhat weak, but compared to before, it was much more comfortable.

She suddenly realized something, pulled up her sleeve to look, and her expression changed.

The curse mark that had been on her skin had completely disappeared, without a trace!

This meant…

Ye Shengxue’s beautiful eyes widened, unable to believe this fact.

She pulled up her left sleeve to check again.

“No need to look. The curse on your body has been removed by me,” Fang Yu said.

These words were like sweet dew, falling on Ye Shengxue’s desert-like heart.

Since the first time Ye Shengxue coughed blood in elementary school, she knew there was something wrong with her body. Later, she gradually learned it was a curse, and that she wouldn’t live past twenty.

From then on, she became a different person, with an immovable boulder in her heart that prevented her from ever truly being happy.

But now, that boulder had shattered.

Her heart suddenly came alive.

“No need to be too excited. The process of removing the curse was simpler than you might imagine…” Fang Yu said.

“Puff!”

Ye Shengxue suddenly stood up, then abruptly knelt before Fang Yu.

“Mr. Fang, thank you…” Ye Shengxue buried her head to the ground, crying.

Her feelings were quite complex at the moment.

On one hand, the tragedy that befell the Ye family today filled her with grief.

But on the other hand, the curse that had troubled her for more than a decade had been removed, giving her a new lease on life, which filled her with immense joy.

Regardless, the only thing Ye Shengxue could be certain of was that Fang Yu was her great 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 particularly enjoy cleaning.”

“…Yes.”

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

“Mr. Fang’s kindness is something I cannot repay. But from now on, if Mr. Fang has any requests, I will do everything in my power to help fulfill them…” Ye Shengxue said gratefully, with tears in her eyes.

“That won’t be necessary. You can’t really help me with anything. Take care of your own family matters first,” Fang Yu said.

At the mention of family matters, Ye Shengxue’s expression changed, and the joy that had just risen instantly vanished.

“I’m a bit tired and need to sleep. As for you, you can continue sitting here if you want. If you truly have nowhere to go, you can sleep in that guest room,” 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, then sat on the sofa, her expression complex.

…

At the border of Wen’an City in the central region, there was a primitive mountain area.

Due to its treacherous terrain and frequently bad weather, this mountain area had never been developed.

So, this mountain area remained abandoned, until the greenery disappeared and withering spread everywhere.

This mountain area had not seen traces of human activity for a long time.

But today, a figure appeared in this mountain area.

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

“This should be the original site of our Purple Flame Palace. How the world has changed.”

Jiang Dao looked around, his eyes revealing a hint of emotion and sadness.

But soon, these emotions transformed into hatred.

If it weren’t for the Heavenly Dao Sect! If it weren’t for that damned Fang Yu! Their Purple Flame Palace might have flourished until today!

Just thinking about Fang Yu made Jiang Dao’s heart contract violently.

Even though thousands of years had passed, this man’s image was imprinted on his soul, impossible to forget for eternity.

This man, with his own strength, had destroyed the two-thousand-year foundation of their Purple Flame Palace.

This man, with a single sword, had slaughtered everyone in their Purple Flame Palace!

Even the Grand Elder, who was at the peak of the Tribulation Crossing stage and half a step into immortality, was no match for him!

In Jiang Dao’s memory, the last image of this man was him holding a broken sword, cutting off the Grand Elder’s head!

“Slap!”

Jiang Dao slapped himself in the face, stopping himself from continuing the recollection.

Just recalling that figure made his body tremble uncontrollably.

A fear originating from his soul made him feel ice-cold all over.

“What am I afraid of?! What exactly am I afraid of?! It’s been over two thousand years! That bastard is long dead! But our Purple Flame Palace still has survivors! That battle, our Purple Flame Palace won! We won!”

“Now, I just need to activate the sect’s divine stone, and I can unlock the legacy of the Purple Flame Palace…”

“With the foundation of our Purple Flame Palace, we can quickly rise again in the cultivation world!”

Jiang Dao’s gaze became determined. He took out a fist-sized gray stone from his storage bag.

Then, he sat down cross-legged, placed the stone in front of him, closed his eyes, and silently recited an incantation.

Seconds later, the stone emitted a strange purple light!
