Chapter 515: Chapter 515: Successful Ambush! Ye Family in Crisis!

Fang Cangsong moved quickly. He didn’t attack the Ye Family directly. Instead, he found the Ye Family’s Ninth Elder and used the Water Dragon Pearl along with his own Soul Power to control him, turning him into a puppet.

The Ninth Elder had been stationed outside, responsible for guarding the Ye Family’s Spirit Vein. Upon learning that Ye Ruxue possessed the talent of a Great Emperor, he had rushed back to celebrate, but he was captured by Fang Cangsong halfway there.

Fang Cangsong now controlled him, a cold smile playing on his lips. This Ninth Elder is a Seven-Star Grandmaster, and he belongs to the Ye Family, so no one will suspect him. An unexpected move will be more than enough to capture that Ye Ruxue.

"Go now," Fang Cangsong snorted coldly. "Return to the Ye Family and bring Ye Ruxue to me."

"As you command." The Ye Family’s Ninth Elder knelt on one knee, his expression extremely respectful. Then, he stood up and returned to the Ye Family.

"The Ninth Elder is back!" the Ye Family members exclaimed excitedly.

The Ninth Elder nodded and asked, "Where is Ru Xue? I heard she caused two great natural phenomena, so I came back specifically to congratulate her."

"Oh, Ru Xue? She seems to have gone to the main hall," a Ye Family clansman said, pointing into the distance.

The Ninth Elder also walked towards the main hall.

「Inside the main hall.」

Several figures were present: Madam Ye, Ye Ruxue, and Ye Qingwu.

Ye Ruxue was sitting beside Madam Ye, whining, "Mother, our family’s cultivation techniques are too low-level. I’m cultivating so slowly. Can you get me some high-level cultivation techniques? That way, I’ll be able to cultivate faster."

"This..." Madam Ye looked troubled. The Ye Family was only a second-grade family; the cultivation techniques they possessed could only be considered average. They didn’t have any high-level ones. "Xue Er, don’t be anxious. I’ll have family members search for some and see if we can find any."

Ye Qingwu, who was standing to the side, offered an idea. "Second Sister, you could also go to the True Dragon Sect to cultivate. Didn’t they want to accept you as a disciple? Once you enter the True Dragon Sect, you’ll be able to obtain advanced martial arts."

Madam Ye’s eyes lit up when she heard this. It was a good idea. The True Dragon Sect was a top power on Dragon Island, and their martial arts and cultivation techniques were the best. "I think you should join the True Dragon Sect first."

I guess that’s the only option. Ye Ruxue nodded, preparing to head to the True Dragon Sect in two days.

As they were chatting, a figure walked in. "Ru Xue, so you are here."

Ye Ruxue turned her head, surprised. "It’s the Ninth Elder."

Ye Qingwu bowed in greeting, and Madam Ye smiled. "Ninth Elder, why have you returned? You’ve always guarded the Spirit Vein and rarely come back to the family."

"I heard Ru Xue caused two great natural phenomena," the Ninth Elder said. "This is a major event for our Ye Family, so I naturally had to come back and see. Moreover, I brought back a treasure for Ru Xue."

"What treasure?" Ye Ruxue asked curiously.

"A superior-grade Spirit Stone," the Ninth Elder replied.

"A superior-grade Spirit Stone!" Ye Ruxue exclaimed and quickly rushed over. A superior-grade Spirit Stone contained much more Spiritual Power. If she could absorb it, she might even achieve a breakthrough.

Madam Ye and Ye Qingwu were also curious. They had never seen a superior-grade Spirit Stone before. After all, they were extremely rare, and both wanted to take a look. They all gathered in front of the Ninth Elder.

The Ninth Elder smiled and took out a Treasure Box. After opening it, they saw it indeed contained a superior-grade Spirit Stone.

"Wow!" Ye Ruxue and the others exclaimed in awe.

Even Madam Ye was extremely curious. She reached out to grab the Spirit Stone, but at that exact moment, the Ninth Elder suddenly struck, sending a palm strike toward her.

Madam Ye was hit before she could react. She was sent flying, crashing into a distant table and overturning the table and chairs. The superior-grade Spirit Stone in her hand fell to the ground. With a cry, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Ye Ruxue, who was standing beside her, froze. Ye Qingwu’s face changed dramatically.

"Ninth Elder, what are you doing?"

"Why did you attack?"

"Are you crazy?"

Madam Ye’s face was pale. She clutched her abdomen and said through gritted teeth, "Ninth Elder, have you betrayed the Ye Family? Why?"

The Ninth Elder laughed upon hearing this, his eyes carrying a strange light. He said coldly, "What does it matter if I betray the Ye Family?"

Seeing the Ninth Elder’s bizarre expression, Madam Ye’s face changed. "No, you’re not the Ninth Elder! Who are you?"

By the looks of it, the Ninth Elder has probably been controlled by someone. Damn it, who could possess such methods?

"You’ve discovered me? So what?" the controlled Ninth Elder sneered. "You’ve realized it too late. You’re already gravely injured and powerless to resist."

"What exactly do you want?" Madam Ye asked, a hint of despair in her eyes. She checked her condition and found she was indeed severely injured, with no strength left to fight back.

"What do I want?" the Ninth Elder snorted. "Don’t worry. My target isn’t you. It’s her." He pointed at Ye Ruxue.

"No!" Madam Ye’s expression changed.

Ye Ruxue’s scalp went numb with fear. She never expected the Ninth Elder to target her. Why me?

Beside her, Ye Qingwu screamed, "Someone, quickly! There’s danger!"

The nearby elders’ expressions changed drastically when they heard her cry. They rushed into the main hall. Seeing so many elders arrive, Ye Qingwu sighed with relief. She pointed at the Ninth Elder and said, "Quickly, capture him! He has betrayed the family and injured Mother!"

"What?" The Ye Family Elders were stupefied.

"Ninth Elder, have you gone mad?" they roared, charging toward him. They prepared to capture the Ninth Elder alive and find out what was happening.

Gazing at the charging elders, the Ninth Elder was full of disdain, a cold smile in his eyes. The next moment, he waved his hand, summoning a Water Dragon Illusion that spat out one water ball after another, trapping all the elders.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

All the elders were enveloped by the water balls, which floated in mid-air. The elders fought back frantically, deforming the spheres of water, but they couldn’t break them. They were all trapped.

"Pathetically weak," the Ninth Elder sneered. "I’d like to see who else can save you."

Madam Ye despaired. She never thought the Ninth Elder would possess such a strange technique, trapping all the elders in an instant.

Is Ye Ruxue really going to be captured? How could this be happening? Ye Ruxue is the hope of the Ye Family! Damn it, who on earth is targeting the Ye Family?

Ye Ruxue was so pale with fear that her body trembled, and she nearly fainted. Ye Qingwu looked as if she were facing a formidable enemy and screamed once more, "Someone, quickly!"

There were no other elders near the palace, but one other person was nearby: Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan had just finished his cultivation and was about to go out and relax when he heard Ye Qingwu’s cry for help. His expression changed immensely. He quickly rushed toward the palace. As he moved, he waved his hand, grabbing a handful of leaves from a nearby tree and infusing them with powerful force. The leaves transformed into sharp Flying Swords and shot into the main hall.

Inside the hall, the Ninth Elder sneered, "Still trying to call for help? You’re courting death!" He sent a palm strike toward Ye Qingwu, intending to kill her, while his other hand reached for Ye Ruxue. Catching her would complete his mission.

"No!" Madam Ye was filled with despair. She prepared to make one last, desperate attempt, but as soon as she stood up, she collapsed back to the ground. Her injuries were too severe.

It’s over. Ye Ruxue will be captured, and Ye Qingwu will be slapped to death. Who can save my daughters?

"Hmph, in heaven or on earth, no one can save you!" the Ninth Elder sneered.

But at that very moment, a sharp Flying Sword flew in, streaking toward the Ninth Elder.
