At the same time.

Ye Renyu also left Kunlun Hall immediately after the council ended.

For Ye Renyu, coming to Jiangzhou was not a difficult task.

Of course, he had no idea that the protector of Ye Cheng had made a second plan. For him, there was only one goal this time—to assassinate Fang Yu.

As long as Fang Yu died, the Fang Family would disband. Once the Fang Family dispersed, Ye Wenjun would not continue to stay with the Fang Family. By then, if the True Phoenix Clan extended a helping hand, they would surely gain favor from the Holy Daughter.

...

Jiangzhou, Fang Family.

In the hall.

The core members of the Fang Family, as well as some core members of the Dark Web, were all present.

"Brother Yu, the moment I heard someone from the True Phoenix Clan came, I rushed over, only to find I was a step too late. They got away!" Chen Daotian said.

Beside him, Xu Huawen rolled his eyes and said, "Please, I sent you news early, and you were still sleeping."

"You're one to talk, criticizing me when I came here with my injuries still healing, only to hold you back," Chen Daotian retorted.

"I'm also stabilizing my strength. I've just undergone the Divine Statue Baptism of the Killing God Hall and feel somewhat unaccustomed. It's like there's something hard to accept. Lin Weifeng said he didn't feel well and didn't come; he's at home cultivating," Xu Huawen explained.

Fang Yu nodded and said:

"This is normal. Ye Wenjun has the True Phoenix Bloodline and virtually no rejection phenomena. Fang Yu's cultivation is from the Dark Scripture, which just happens to fit the Attribute of the Divine Statue in the Dark Temple. As for the two of you, it's already fortunate that you were able to successfully receive it... You haven't seen the kind of complete rejection."

Xu Huawen shivered.

Fang Yu, who holds the Dragon Emperor's memories and has seen much, had personally witnessed cultivators having severe reactions to rejection. It was unbearable pain that penetrated into the bones, like insane people going mad, bleeding from seven orifices to death.

Most people with less rejection could solve the problem with Blood Melting Grass.

But Divine Statue Baptism could not be resolved by this method.

Xu Huawen and Lin Weifeng could only rely on their own willpower to endure it forcibly.

"Brother Yu, hearing you talk like that, I'm more and more impressed... I didn't expect you would threaten them with modern weaponry. But where do we get such weapons?" Chen Daotian asked.

"A scare should suffice," Fang Yu said.

"Where's sister-in-law?"

Fang Yu also noticed that Ye Wenjun didn't come out and was startled.

Next to him, Xu Sisi stood up and said, "Today, I saw Sister Wenjun in a bad mood. On her room's desk, the Water Cold Sword was broken. I think Sister Wenjun must be saddened by this."

Hearing this.

Fang Yu sighed and said, "The Water Cold Sword was originally going to be upgraded to a Spiritual Artifact. Now that it's broken, it's natural for Wenjun to feel sad."

Xu Sisi said, "Mr. Fang, I can very well understand Sister Wenjun's feelings. This sword is not only a gift from you to her but has also accompanied her for a long time. Is there really no way to repair it?"

Repair?

Everyone turned to look at Fang Yu.

How to repair such a treasure sword?

After pondering for a moment, Fang Yu said, "To repair a treasure sword above the level of a Magic Artifact, ordinary methods of forging are unlikely to work. There is only one viable way."

"What is it?" Xu Sisi asked eagerly.

Fang Yu looked at Xu Sisi doubtfully; logically, shouldn't women be jealous of each other? But here she was, not only not jealous but also actively helping Ye Wenjun.

"Earth Core Fire."

Earth Core Fire?

Everyone was stunned.

Most of them were cultivators, yet they had never heard of this thing.

Therefore, everyone looked at Fang Yu with blank expressions.

"Brother Yu, I know you're well-informed and worldly, so stop beating around the bush and quickly tell us, what is Earth fire? What does it have to do with repairing the Water Cold Sword?"

As soon as Chen Daotian finished his question.

From the second floor.

Xie Daoyun suddenly appeared in a white dress—

Her voice was as frosty as ice, steady and cold.

"The so-called Earth fire refers to the Earth Core Fire. It lies deep underground... beyond the reach of ordinary people. The Water Cold Sword is originally a treasure sword of Cold Attribute, and Ye Wenjun's cultivation also involves the Cold Attribute Inner Essence. Even if she mastered the Fire Attribute, they haven't reached their ultimate potential. Earth fire remains the biggest natural enemy for cultivators with the Cold Attribute."

The crowd was astounded.

Xie Daoyun descended the stairs at a leisurely pace, elegant like a lady from a prestigious family, stepping down one stair at a time. The Fang Family's descendants automatically cleared a path for her.

She walked to the sofa, slowly sat down, and continued:

"Since Earth fire is located underground, to repair the Water Cold Sword, one must send the sword into the depths. This involves various possibilities. How to send the sword underground, how to ensure it doesn't fall too deeply, and after the repair—how to retrieve the Water Cold Sword. These are all difficult issues to consider."

The crowd nodded in agreement.

"Is this Earth fire very powerful? Where can it be found now?" Xu Sisi asked.

Xie Daoyun continued:

"Once, the Dragon Emperor witnessed the Earth fire. As the name implies, it is the fire from beneath the earth. It is the most pure and eternal fire of the land... The deeper underground, the fiercer the flames, and thus the more powerful the Earth fire. Even the unfathomable Cultivation of the Dragon Emperor was scorched by the Earth fire and took half a year to fully recover."

The crowd's complexion subtly changed.

Even the Dragon Emperor couldn't handle the Earth fire.

What about others?

Among this group of people, only a few had reached the Saint level.

And most were injured.

Fang Yu noted Xie Daoyun's choice of words—referring to the Dragon Emperor with respect, but showing no particular reaction towards himself, evidently accepting the reality before her eyes.

"Theoretically, digging downward from any place could reveal Earth fire. But who can dig a thousand feet deep? There is an entrance on Fire Dragon Mountain located in the northeast direction where one can get in touch with Earth fire. Leave the repair of the Water Cold Sword to me..."

"Leave it to you? Brother Yu, you're not joking, right? That's Earth fire we're talking about... what if something happens to you? What would Fang Family do? What about Tiandu Mountain or the Dark Web?" said Chen Daotian.

"Hall Master Chen is right, Mr. Fang shouldn't go... Your safety is more important than anyone else's. I am willing to go to Fire Dragon Mountain!" expressed Li Wenyuan, one of the Four Saint Generals.

"Let me do it... Your Cultivation is not enough, make good use of the revival of Spiritual Energy to cultivate," proposed Chen Daotian.

At this moment.

Fang Yu stood up and said: "Alright, there's no need to argue over this. I'll do it... Don't forget, I have the Spiritual Artifact, the Fire Dragon Order! With this, combined with my current Cultivation, Earth fire can't harm me."

Seeing Fang Yu so resolute and determined.

The crowd said no more.

They all nodded in agreement.

Xu Sisi chimed in: "Mhm. I knew Mr. Fang would definitely have a way. I'll go and tell Sister Wenjun so she doesn't have to be sad anymore." Saying so, she ran upstairs.

Chen Daotian spoke:

"I'm really envious of you, Brother Yu. Sister-in-law treasures the gift you gave her more than her own life."

"Quit the nonsense," Fang Yu gave him a look, "You're healed up, aren't you?"

"Long since..."

"Well then, hurry up and go look for a Secret Realm!"

"Looking for a Secret Realm?"

"Yes... We have now made an enemy of the True Phoenix Clan. Back at the gymnasium, we killed that fellow from the Shi Family, and the Shi Family won't let it go easily. Sooner or later, they will trace it back to us. With a formidable enemy like this, the only way is to enter into the slow-turning Secret Realm to cultivate..." Fang Yu declared.
