Ye Zi was the strongest member of the younger generation of the Ye Clan, and also the princess of the Ye Clan.
It was said that when Ye Zi was very young, she had caught the eye of an elder of the Flowing Wind Sect and had been brought to the sect. After that, Ye Zi had displayed great talent.
This year, Ye Zi was fifteen years old, and she had successfully reached the sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm. Her strength had increased by leaps and bounds, and she had become one of the most outstanding members of the younger generation of the Flowing Wind Sect.
Ye Zi was wearing a purple dress that outlined her perfect figure. Anyone who saw her would drool.
Ye Zi quietly stood behind Ye Shan, her face incomparably calm. She hadn't said a single word from the beginning to the end.
Ye Zi hadn't said anything. The reason Fang Chen had asked Ye Zi was because he wanted to see what her attitude was.
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Ye Shan and the others were also stunned.
"My sister will never marry you. My sister's man must be a dragon among the people of the Divine Wind Nation." Before Ye Zi could speak, Ye Lin spoke first.
Facing Fang Chen, Ye Lin's heart was filled with disgust.
At this moment, Ye Lin only wanted to humiliate Fang Chen, and ruin Fang Chen's reputation.
"Ye Zi, what's with your attitude?"
Fang Chen ignored Ye Lin's words and turned to Ye Zi.
Being asked a second time, Ye Zi's calm face finally showed a little change. Her beautiful eyes looked at Fang Chen, and then she lightly shook her head and said, "Fang Chen, although we have an engagement, you also know that the Ancient Sword Continent is a continent where the strong are respected."
Before Ye Zi could finish, she was interrupted by Fang Chen.
"You mean I'm not good enough for you?" Fang Chen asked.
"We're not suitable." Ye Zi expressed her attitude.
Hearing Ye Zi's words, the three Fang brothers' faces changed slightly. They looked at Fang Chen, afraid that Fang Chen would do something impulsive.
However, it was clear that Fang Chen wasn't impulsive because of Ye Zi's words. When Ye Zi said that they weren't suitable for each other, Fang Chen had already made a decision.
"Hahaha!"
Fang Chen revealed a wild smile, and his laughter was particularly ear-piercing.
"Chen 'er," Fang Tianyu comforted him in a low voice.
Everyone from the Ye Family also looked at Fang Chen. They thought that Fang Chen had been provoked.
"Fang Chen, as long as you agree to break off the engagement, the Ye family can give you anything, including cultivation resources," Ye Shan said.
"Hmph, how could my Fang family covet your Ye family's things?" Fang Tianshan was furious.
Fang Tianyu was just about to speak when Fang Chen extended his hand to stop him.
"You can go back," Fang Chen said in a low voice.
"Fang Chen, what do you mean by that?" asked Ye Shan.
"From now on, we have nothing to do with each other." After saying that, Fang Chen turned and left.
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Ye Shan and the others' eyes flashed with joy. They hadn't expected Fang Chen to so easily agree to break off the engagement.
"Fang Tianshan, what do you think?" Ye Shan asked Fang Tianshan. After all, breaking off the engagement required the Fang family's approval.
Fang Chen had already left. Fang Tianshan's heart was filled with boundless fury. But in the end, he still signed the annulment paper.
"Hahaha, since that's the case, then my Ye family will say goodbye."
Ye Shan put away the paper, his face full of smiles. Breaking off the engagement made his mood much better.
After the Ye family left, the three Fang brothers sank into silence.
Within a courtyard of the Fang family, Fang Chen was sitting cross-legged.
"One day, I'll let you know that it's not me, Fang Chen, who isn't worthy of you, but you, Ye Zi, who isn't worthy of me." Fang Chen clenched his fists.
Although Fang Chen didn't have any feelings for Ye Zi, his Fang family's reputation had still been damaged by the Ye family's grand annulment of the engagement.
"Chen 'zi, are you alright?" Unknowingly, Fang Sheng had arrived at Fang Chen's residence and softly comforted him.
"Brother Sheng, I'm fine," whispered Fang Chen.
Forget it, once the engagement was annulled, he would be able to cultivate peacefully in the future.
"Chen 'zi, the Ye family thinks you're trash, but I don't think so. I believe that one day, you'll definitely become one of the Divine Wind Nation's geniuses."
Hearing this, Fang Chen grinned.
Fang Chen stayed in the Fang family for seven days before preparing to leave.
"Father, I'm returning to the Qingfeng Sword Sect." Fang Chen bid farewell.
"Chen 'er, cultivate well," said Fang Tianyu.
After bidding farewell to Fang Tianyu, Fang Chen got up and left Black Cloud City, heading towards Qingfeng City.
Time passed bit by bit, and Fang Chen gradually left Black Cloud City.
In a valley a hundred miles outside of Qingfeng City, this valley was very secluded. Normally, no martial artist would come here.
Three days ago, a thick fog had appeared around this valley, enveloping the entire valley and making it even more secluded.
In the valley, there were three figures. If Fang Chen were here, he would definitely recognize them. They were the blood-colored skeleton's puppets: Jin Liuyun, Seventh Tian, and Elder Liu.
Elder Liu was a Qi Transformation First Realm martial artist. Among the three of them, he was the strongest.
The three of them formed a triangle and stood quietly in the valley, scanning their surroundings. In the middle of the three of them was a blood-colored skeleton.
The blood-colored skeleton was healing, and the three of them were guarding it.
Hiss Hiss Hiss
Streams of blood-red fog constantly emerged from the blood-colored skeleton's body. In a short while, the entire valley was filled with blood-red fog.
Creak
After a while, the blood-red fog gradually disappeared. At this time, the blood-colored skeleton also opened its eyes. Power flowed through its bones.
"Just a little more, and I'll be able to recover." The blood-colored skeleton said in a hoarse voice.
Just as the blood-colored skeleton was about to get up, it suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Hmm, why is there a blood-red aura outside?" The blood-colored skeleton was a little puzzled.
This aura was unique to it. But in the next moment, the blood-colored skeleton thought of a possibility.
"That damn brat." The blood-colored skeleton said coldly.
"You three, go out and capture that bastard." The blood-colored skeleton ordered.
The three puppets nodded and then directly left the valley.
At this time, on the official road not far from the valley, Fang Chen was leisurely walking.
"I'm about to reach Qingfeng City." Fang Chen thought to himself.
After returning to the Fang Family and learning about his mother, Fang Chen had been very worried. Although there was no trace of his mother, Fang Chen swore that he would definitely find her.
As for the cancellation of the engagement, Fang Chen did not take it to heart. It was just a small episode in his life.
This time, after returning to the Qingfeng Sword Sect, Fang Chen was prepared to cultivate until he reached the sixth level of the Qi Cultivation Realm.
However, just as Fang Chen was walking, he suddenly felt a strong aura pressing down on him.
"Not good."
Fang Chen cried out loudly. Immediately, he turned his head and looked over. To his surprise, he discovered that three figures had appeared within the valley.
"How is this possible?"
When Fang Chen saw the appearance of the three figures, his face was filled with shock. His body flashed and he quickly fled.
Hiss Hiss Hiss
Fang Chen was very fast, but Elder Liu was a martial artist at the first level of the Qi Transformation Realm. He was even faster.
In a short while, Elder Liu caught up to Fang Chen.
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh
At this time, Jin Liuyun and Qi Tian had also caught up to Fang Chen. The three of them surrounded Fang Chen.
"Golden Light Sword Technique."
Fang Chen used the seventh sword of the Golden Light Sword Technique. He waved the Light Sword in his hand continuously. A golden sword light appeared and pierced towards the three of them.
Bang
With a loud bang, Elder Liu punched out, shattering the golden sword light and landing on Fang Chen's body.
Crack
Fang Chen's body flew out and fell to the ground. He was immediately subdued by Elder Liu.
After being subdued by Elder Liu, Fang Chen's face was filled with helplessness. In a short while, Elder Liu and the other two brought Fang Chen back to the valley.
When the blood-red skeleton saw Fang Chen, its face revealed a sinister expression.
"Keke, I let you escape last time. Let's see how you escape this time," the blood-red skeleton said sinisterly.
Fang Chen did not speak. He was thinking of a way to escape, but after thinking for a while, he could not think of any.
The reason he was able to escape last time was because the blood-red skeleton was fighting with Elder Liu. Otherwise, he would not have been able to escape.
"It seems that I can't escape," Fang Chen whispered.
"Kid, your talent is not bad. You are suitable to be my puppet."
As soon as the blood-red skeleton finished speaking, it suddenly grabbed Fang Chen's head. In the next moment, a blood-red mist directly entered Fang Chen's mind.
Immediately after, Fang Chen was controlled by the blood-red skeleton.
"Master." Fang Chen's eyes were dull as he bowed to the blood-red skeleton.
"Hahaha, after I recover from my injuries, I'll take you out to hunt prey." The blood-red skeleton laughed sinisterly.
Then, the blood-red skeleton entered the depths of the valley and began to recuperate in seclusion.
Fang Chen stood there quietly with a blank look in his eyes. At this moment, the golden heart in his body began to beat rapidly.
Wisps of clear stream appeared and drilled into Fang Chen's mind.
Huala
Fang Chen regained consciousness, but Fang Chen did not alert the enemy. Instead, he pretended to be controlled. His eyes were still dull.
While the blood-red skeleton was recuperating in seclusion, Fang Chen had nothing to do and wandered around the valley.
Finally, one day, Fang Chen discovered a secret.
In the depths of the valley, there was a cave. This cave was where the blood-red skeleton lived. At this moment, the blood-red skeleton was no longer in the cave.
Fang Chen entered the cave and searched carefully. Fang Chen found a book.
Simply put, it was a control-type cultivation technique. The reason why the blood-red skeleton was able to control them as puppets was because it cultivated this cultivation technique.
"Mind Control."
Fang Chen muttered in a low voice, his face ecstatic.
