Chapter 478: Chapter 478: The Fang Family Strikes Back! Capture Lin Xuan and His Companions!

After making his decision, Fang Cangsong said, "Give me the information on those three people."

A member of the Fang Family quickly produced three portraits depicting Lin Xuan and the two sisters. Notes alongside them detailed their ages and cultivation levels: two Grandmasters and one Martial General. Fang Cangsong frowned upon seeing this.

It probably wasn’t these three who made the move, but they are definitely connected. They still need to be captured. However, these three small ants don’t require me to act personally.

He looked at his granddaughter. "You handle it."

A young woman from the Fang Family named Fang Qingyu walked out. "Grandfather, rest assured," she said. "I will bring all three of them back."

「」

Fang Qingyu acted swiftly. She didn’t try to apprehend the trio directly. Instead, she prepared three invitations for a meal at the Mist Rain Pavilion.

When Ye Ruxue and Ye Qingwu received the invitations, they began to discuss the matter. The Fang Family surely had ill intentions. However, the meeting was set at the Mist Rain Pavilion, a relatively safe place since no one dared to cause trouble there. After some thought, they decided to go, wanting to see what the Fang Family was planning.

Upon arriving at the Mist Rain Pavilion again, the two sisters saw Fang Qingyu. She was a woman of gentle beauty. There was no dangerous aura about her, nor was there any murderous intent in her eyes. This allowed Ye Ruxue and Ye Qingwu to relax slightly. They walked over to greet her.

Fang Qingyu’s face broke into a smile. "You’ve arrived. Please, sit."

The place Fang Qingyu chose was the Mist Rain Corridor. It was an equally beautiful location, reminiscent of the Jiangnan region in the rain. However, the two sisters were in no mood to enjoy the scenery; they wanted to know why the Fang Family had sought them out.

"Don’t be in such a rush. Have some tea first," Fang Qingyu said. She gestured, and a nearby maidservant brought over the Spirit Tea.

Three cups of Spirit Tea were placed on the table, fragrant mist swirling from them. The aroma caused the souls within Ye Ruxue and Ye Qingwu to churn slightly.

"Have a taste," Fang Qingyu offered. Then, she lifted her cup and took a delicate sip.

Ye Ruxue and Ye Qingwu exchanged a glance before picking up their own cups and taking a sip.

What exquisite tea, they both marveled internally. The things served at the Mist Rain Pavilion are truly extraordinary.

"What is it that you want with us?" Ye Ruxue asked.

Ye Qingwu placed her cup back on the table, her large eyes bright and focused as she looked at Fang Qingyu.

"No hurry. Let’s wait a little longer," Fang Qingyu replied.

"Wait for what?" Ye Ruxue frowned.

"For you to feel dizzy." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

What does she mean? Ye Ruxue was stunned, a sense of dread washing over her. She tried to stand up and leave, but her body suddenly swayed as she was overcome with dizziness. Beside her, Ye Qingwu’s vision began to blur.

"You poisoned the tea!" she exclaimed.

"How dare you! Are you insane? You’re breaking the rules of the Mist Rain Pavilion!" Ye Ruxue roared, "Guards!"

Across from them, Fang Qingyu merely smiled faintly. She suddenly opened an umbrella and waved it toward the two sisters. The umbrella floated above their heads, casting down a brilliant light. In the next moment, Ye Ruxue and Ye Qingwu’s bodies shrank and were sucked into the umbrella.

Fang Qingyu retrieved the umbrella and placed it on the table. She then took another sip of her tea, her eyes curving into crescent moons.

Success. All that’s left is that Lin Xuan.

From inside the umbrella, Ye Ruxue’s furious voice could be heard. "Fang Qingyu, are you insane? How dare you capture us!"

"This is the Mist Rain Pavilion! You made a move here! The pavilion will never let you get away with this!"

While roaring in anger, Ye Ruxue brandished a Flying Sword and slashed forward. Ye Qingwu, meanwhile, took out a small cauldron that floated above their heads. The cauldron cast down a protective light, guarding the two of them.

BOOM.

The umbrella shook slightly but did not break.

Fang Qingyu laughed and patted the umbrella. "And who’s going to know if you two don’t tell anyone?"

"Besides, I’d advise you not to struggle. This umbrella is called the Qiankun Treasure Umbrella. It’s a fourth-grade Spiritual Artifact, and it contains a world of its own. Even a Grandmaster couldn’t escape if trapped inside, let alone two little Grandmasters like you. So, you might as well stay put inside the Qiankun Treasure Umbrella."

"What exactly do you want?"

Hearing the umbrella’s origin, Ye Ruxue’s expression turned ugly. Although the small cauldron was protecting them, keeping them safe for the moment, they still couldn’t escape. If they were taken back to the Fang Family, the consequences would be dire.

They wondered why their opponent had captured them.

"My grandfather wishes to see you. He has some questions for you."

"But one person is still missing."

"Now, where is Lin Xuan? Tell me his whereabouts," Fang Qingyu demanded.

Inside the Qiankun Treasure Umbrella, Ye Ruxue’s expression was incredibly grim. Ye Qingwu’s brows were furrowed tightly. They want to capture Lin Xuan too? How despicable! Could they be trying to get revenge for Fang Zimo? But Fairy Yunxi was the one who injured him! What does this have to do with Lin Xuan?

Ye Qingwu said coldly, "I’ll never tell you where Junior Brother Lin is. You can give up that idea right now."

"Furthermore, the Ye Family Elders know we came to the Mist Rain Pavilion to meet with you. If we don’t return today, they will definitely come looking for us. If they can’t find us, the Ye Family will not let this matter rest. So, you’d better release us."

Fang Qingyu sneered. "So what if your Ye Family knows? Even if Clan Leader Ye himself were to take action, he wouldn’t be able to save you."

"Of course, if you want to live, I can give you a chance."

"You just need to hand over one thing."

"What thing?" Ye Ruxue asked quickly, not wanting to stay inside the Qiankun Treasure Umbrella for a moment longer.

"You simply need to hand over Fang Zimo’s Storage Ring," Fang Qingyu said.

Storage Ring? Ye Ruxue froze. "We didn’t take it," she said, then turned to her sister. "Third Sister, did you take it?"

Ye Qingwu also shook her head; she hadn’t taken it either. "Perhaps you’ve made a mistake?" she suggested.

"Just because you didn’t take it doesn’t mean someone else didn’t."

Someone else? Ye Ruxue paused. "Are you talking about Lin Xuan? He couldn’t have taken it. He can’t even defeat Fang Zimo. The incident at Dragon Spirit Lake was a misunderstanding. Fairy Yunxi was the one who injured Fang Zimo; you should be looking for her."

"The Fang Family will naturally pay a visit to Fairy Yunxi," Fang Qingyu said. "But before that, we need to find that Lin Xuan. His involvement is far more suspicious."

After saying this, Fang Qingyu ignored the two sisters inside the umbrella. She waved to a nearby Fang Family disciple and ordered, "Spread the word that I have the Ye Ruxue sisters in my possession. I’m sure that Lin Xuan will come looking for me once he hears the news."

Her subordinate left to spread the news. Soon, the report traveled across all of Dragon Island, causing an immense shockwave.

What was happening? Was the Fang Family really making a move against the Ye Family? Didn’t that mean the Ye Family was doomed?

When the Ye Family received the news, their expressions changed drastically. They hurried toward the Mist Rain Pavilion to find the two sisters. However, they were intercepted halfway by members of the Fang Family. The two sides fought fiercely, but the Ye Family Elders were no match. After all, their family was merely a second-rate power.

Damn it! The Ye Family members were utterly desperate. Their Clan Leader was still recovering, and Madam Ye was also in secluded cultivation to recuperate. The remaining Elders were no match for the Fang Family. Could they only watch helplessly as the sisters Ye Ruxue and Ye Qingwu were captured?

When the other clans and sects on Dragon Island heard the news, they were equally shocked. It seemed the Ye Family was in for some truly bad luck.

「On the other side」

Lin Xuan also received the news, and his expression grew dark.

How dare the Fang Family make a move? How dare they capture Ye Qingwu? They’re courting death! I have to rescue her!
