emanating from his body had dimmed considerably.All signs point to, Ancient Dragon...seemingly suffering from severe injuries!"This Fang Yu...he actually managed to drive the Ancient Venerable to thi...As soon as Yuan Zhenbao entered the inner courtyard, he saw the bodies of several members of the Cao family lying lifelessly on the ground!

And, flames of other colors are burning their corpses!

At that time...the bodies of these people were only half burned, with half of their remains exposed.

Seeing this, Yuan Zhenbao was terrified out of his wits and fled from the Cao family like a frightened rabbit.

After rushing back, he told his father Yuan Jinshi about the incident.

Yuan Jinshi's face also changed, and he slapped Yuan Zhenbao.

“You ungrateful wretch! I told you to stay away from that cursed Cao family! But you had to go!” Yuan Jinshi roared, “I warned you, the Cao family is under a curse! They will always suffer misfortune! Fortunately, your engagement with Cao Tian didn’t come to fruition…”

After that, Yuan Jinshi told Yuan Zhenbao never to mention Cao Tian again and to forget what happened to the Cao family that day.

Thus, it has come to today.

"You…didn't get a good look at the shape of that black shadow" Huixu asked in a cold voice.

"No, he was too fast. I only saw Cao Tian in his hands..." Yuan Zhenbao replied tremblingly.

"Didn't you see any characteristics" Huixu continued to ask.

"No, I really didn't see…" Yuan Zhenbao saw that Huixu's face was growing increasingly colder and was frightened pale.

At this moment, Fang Yu frowned slightly and asked, "You just said that you entered the Cao family courtyard and saw those corpses being burned by strange flames. What color are these strange flames"

"Purple, the flames are purple... and they emanate a coldness, not heat at all." Yuan Zhenbao answered in a trembling voice.

Purple flames!

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu's eyes changed.

In his heart, the purple flame was like a taboo word... symbolizing the Purple Flame Palace!

Those darn things!

Although he slaughtered all the remnants of the Ziyan Palace during the sect competition on Earth, … revenge could only bring blood hatred, but it couldn't bring the dead back to life.

The needle is removed, but the wound remains unhealed.

As soon as Fang Yu heard about the purple flames again, he couldn't help but instantly connect it with Ziyan Palace!

Of course, this is far from rational thinking.

Because, purple flames aren't exclusive to the Ziyuan Palace!

The entire cultivation world... especially the cultivation world still in Dayanchen Star, has simply too many sect techniques to count.

It is normal for some cultivators to practice techniques that allow them to cultivate purple flames.

However, once things involved Zi Yan Palace, even if there was only a one percent chance of a connection, Fang Yu couldn't help but connect them!

At this moment, Huixu also looked at Fang Yu. He knew what the purple flames meant to Fang Yu.

"I only know that much, please let me go..." Yuan Zhenbao cried out.

Fang Yu looked at Yuan Zhenbao and said, "Your account is too vague. I still have to directly examine your memory. I hope your soul hasn't been sealed."

Saying that, Fang Yu stretched out his hand and grabbed Yuan Zhenbao's head.

"Whoosh!"

Yuan Zhenbao's body shook violently, and he instantly lost consciousness.

Fang Yu's divine sense entered Yuan Zhenbao's soul.

Luckily, perhaps Yuan Zhenbao's cultivation was too low, his soul spirit wasn't completely sealed up like the other cultivators they had encountered before.

Fang Yu's divine consciousness smoothly entered his soul spirit and began searching for memories.

Because this memory was too deep for Yuan Zhenbao, he easily found the picture of this memory.

In the picture, Yuan Zhenbao saw a black shadow flying out of Cao's mansion from two hundred meters away.

The shadow's hand indeed held another person, it must be Cao Tian.

But due to the great distance and the black shadow's rapid movement, Yuan Zhenbao truly did not notice any characteristics.

Then, Yuan Zhenbao's memory arrived at the inner courtyard of Cao's family.

Upon those several corpses... a purple flame burned fiercely.

Looking at those purple flames, Fang Yu's heart pounded.

For some reason, he still felt that this purple flame... was extremely similar to the Purple Flame wielded by the Ziyan Palace.

It's a pity that Yuan Zhenbao's feelings at the time cannot be reconstructed through memory.

Fang Yu's divine sense withdrew from Yuan Zhenbao's soul.

Huixu looked at Fangyu.

Fang Yu's eyes flashed with a cold light, his brows furrowed.

He knew he couldn't just connect the purple flames with the Ziyan Palace.

But, it still couldn't stop its own heart.

"Brother Fang..."

Huái xū zhèng kāi kǒu.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"Boom..."

At this time, dozens of powerful auras flew out from within the Yuan family.

Obviously, the commotion outside had caught the Yuan family's attention.

"Who dares to lay a hand on us at the Yuan family's doorstep!" A commanding voice boomed.

Fang Yu looked at Huixu and said, "He doesn't know much. Let's go."

Huixu glanced at Yuan Zhenbao and nodded.

"Whoosh!"

The two vanished instantly.

...while Yuan Zhenbao's obese body fell to the ground. ...

At this moment, he is twitching slightly.

"Master!"

Many attendants immediately ran forward.

And a large crowd poured out from the Yuan family's gate.

It was Yuan Jinshi at the head.

He saw Yuan Zhenbao lying on the ground, his eyes blazing with rage, and rushed forward quickly.

“Treasure… quickly carry him inside!” Yuan Jinshi roared with bloodshot eyes.

A group of attendants hurriedly carried the wounded Yuan Zhenbao into the room.

While Yuan Jinshi remained on the spot, staring intently into the distance.

"Send out your men, you must find those two clueless fools!" Yuan Jinshi commanded.

……

Fang Yu and Huixu left the Yuan family and returned to the Cao family's mansion.

Yuan Zhenbao's information is still too vague.

I currently only know that the dark figure took Cao Tian, and... burned the bodies of the other members of the Cao family with purple flames.

This intel is simply not enough.

To find clues, we still have to go back to the Cao family mansion and see if the Cao family members left any useful information before they died.

Huixiu walked into the Cao family mansion, searching room by room.

And Fang Yu stood outside the large manor, using his divine sense to envelop the entire manor, not missing a single clue.

But the Cao family… did not leave behind any information.

They should die suddenly and without a chance to fight back.

Relying solely on the surface clues left within the Cao family's grand estate... it would be impossible to find that shadowy figure.

Fang Yu's brows furrowed, his attention returning to the three patches of ash on the ground inside the courtyard.

"If it were possible to restore even a trace of the aura, it could be used to track down that shadow... The problem is, how to restore the aura" Fang Yu thought in his heart, "...Could it reverse time"

But to reverse time, we have to rewind back to half a month ago.

Such a long time span... it's really too much.

According to Lihuo's account, reversing time involves karma. Reversing how much time... one will have to pay it back in the future.

Therefore, it is not possible to reverse time arbitrarily, especially in cases with such a long temporal gap.

"Since you can't reverse time, I guess we have to work with what's left... Ah, I got it!"e is also untenable.But Fang Yu was very curious, why did this woman ignore all the wealthy guests around her and offer him a free fortune-telling session insteadFang Yu walked to the woman's table an...
