Chapter 44: Chapter 44 - Remnant of the Fang Family
As soon as the words fell, the holy springs around him began to be devoured at an astonishing speed, and in just a few moments, all the holy springs had been absorbed.
This speed of absorption would put even a half-step saint to shame.
But if anyone were powerful enough to observe, they would realize that it wasn't the young man who absorbed the holy springs, but the pendant around his neck!
Once the pendant finished absorbing, the young man closed his eyes and mentally commanded, "Enter."
In the next instant, he felt his soul leaving his body and being absorbed by the bone pendant.
It was a mysterious sensation, but when he finally opened his eyes, he had the impression that he had entered another dimension. However, he wasn't at all surprised by what was happening. With a calm, light tone, he uttered:
"Xin'er."
As soon as the name left his lips, an illusory figure began to materialize in front of him. It was a girl dressed in gothic-style clothes and with purple eyes. She bowed gracefully and spoke softly, "Master."
This was the auxiliary spirit of the Bone Pendant.
Looking at the beautiful figure bending down in front of him and slightly showing her breasts, the young man couldn't help but swallow. However, he soon concentrated and asked: "Xin'er, has the pendant absorbed enough energy to awaken it?"
Noticing the young man watching her like that, Xin'er showed a slight blush on her face and replied, "Yes, Master."
As soon as she finished speaking, she waved her hand slightly, and a rotting corpse resembling a giant wolf appeared. Xin'er looked at the young man and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yes," replied the young man with a firm expression, clenching his fists in excitement.
Seeing the young man's confirmation, Xin'er raised her jade hands and a gray energy shot towards the wolf's corpse, beginning to slowly transform it.
As soon as she finished transmitting this energy, a howl suddenly erupted.
The wolf, which had previously been just a corpse, stood up, reaching a height of several meters. It then opened its deep black eyes, which looked like eternal darkness, and howled, exuding a sacred aura combined with the Law of Death.
But when the wolf, who exuded a terrible aura majestically, looked at the young man, it immediately prostrated itself on the ground, showing absolute respect, as if it recognized him as its master.
Approaching the wolf and lightly stroking its fur, the young man murmured with a cold expression, "Father, grandfather, second uncle, don't worry. I'll find out who killed our family and make them pay!"
The young man's name is Fang Yu. He is the young master of the most powerful family in Jiangyin City, the Fang family.
His talent had been impressive since childhood, and he became his grandfather's hope for the family to return to the main branch.
The Fang family had a secret: it was a branch of the capital's Fang family, one of the most powerful in the Zhenfang Dynasty!
When he finally reached the state of Soul Formation and was about to go to the capital of the dynasty with his grandfather, he witnessed his grandfather suddenly burning up and his soul being torn apart before his eyes. In a panic, he returned home.
However, the scene he witnessed terrified him to this day: his father, his uncle, and the rest of the Fang family suddenly began to burn.
Thinking he would be the next to burn, Fang Yu panicked and was about to commit suicide to avoid the torture of having his soul burned.
But suddenly, he felt his soul tremble and was transported to the Bone Pendant, which was the only thing his mother left him before she disappeared.
Inside the Bone Pendant, Fang Yu discovered that this was the place where the Ancient Great Emperor of the Undead stored all his undead corpses.
The only thing he needed to do to control the entire army was to gather enough energy from sacred sources to revive the undead.
"It's still not enough," Fang Yu muttered, watching the sacred wolf that lay prostrate at his feet.
He remembered when he first met Xin'er. She had explained that the reason her Fang family was destroyed was because of a bloodline extermination technique, a middle-grade sacred technique at least.
The capital's Fang family had probably offended someone terrifying, and that person had decided to completely wipe out their lineage.
"Damn it, if the capital's Fang family offended him, why was my Fang family from Jiangyin City also involved?" Fang Yu thought, clenching his fists in anger.
Why did a family branch banished from the main family have to pay for the main family's mistakes? Fang Yu couldn't reconcile himself to that.
"When I awaken the entire undead army, I'll finally get my revenge," Fang Yu thought. That was the only reason he kept living: revenge!
Since the other party used a medium-level holy technique, it is likely that their strength is at least that of a Holy King.
But Fang Yu is not afraid, because from what he observed, within the undead army there are even terrifying creatures with near-Emperor cultivation.
Of course, the amount of energy needed to awaken them is enormous!
In other words, if he gathers enough holy sources, even a sacred land can be destroyed with a single sentence!
"Xin'er, are you sure you can detect the person who cast the bloodline curse?" Fang Yu asked, turning his gaze to the spirit of the Pendant.
Hearing Fang Yu's question, Xin'er rolled her eyes internally but still responded, "Yes, Master. As long as the person who cast the technique is near the host, I can detect them."
Since she was present at the time the technique destroyed the Fang family, Xin'er was able to remember the aura of the caster. As long as Fang Yu is close to them, she can sense it!
As for why she rolled her eyes, it was because Xin'er didn't know how many times the master had asked this question, always receiving the same answer.
