"Master... I... I'm suffering... please help me..."

Three thousand miles off the East China Sea lies Dragon Nation!

Penglai Fairy Mountain!

In the center of this celestial island stands a grand, imposing, and ancient huge furnace. At this moment, the furnace was ablaze with scorching flames, and within the midst of the fire emerged the silhouette of a man!

At this moment, his whole body was bare, exposed to the torment of the raging flames!

Around the great furnace stood three beautiful women of celestial grace and jade-like complexion, anxiously waiting!

Inside the furnace was Ye Qi-Jue, their mutual disciple, whose blood carried an unheard of solar poison. Their search for a cure had been fruitless, hence they resorted to purging the poison with fire, fighting fire with fire!

However, just then, the Furnace of Heaven suddenly burst forth with an unbearably hot aura; the furnace was rife with evil flames, setting all surrounding trees aflame. It appeared as if the entire Fairy Mountain would be burnt to cinders!

Ye Qi-Jue, at that moment, was glowing red all over. His face portrayed an expression of overwhelming pain, seeming as if he would burst any moment!

"It's bad! I didn’t expect that the Heavenly Fire would not only fail to dispel the solar poison but instead trigger a massive outbreak. If this continues, Qi-Jue may not make it!"

The beautiful lady at the front, who was dressed in a red palace outfit, spoke panicking. Her hair was swept up high, styled elegantly with clouds. She carried an air of regality and grace, like a motherly queen!

They had all experienced the effects of the solar poison after taking a sample of their disciple's blood, even their celestial powers couldn't stand the sizzling sensation as it touched their skin. It was unbearable, even feeling as though their life force was ebbing away!

Incredibly strange indeed!

And now…

"Disciple, how are you doing?"

"I... I can't take it anymore... My entire meridian system is burning..."

The woman in the palace dress is in a panic. Seeing her beloved disciple in unbearable pain, she clenches her teeth, "I have no other options now..."

She lightly undoes her robe and enters the cauldron!

She intends to detoxify him with her own body!

However, after an hour, the woman in the palace dress can no longer endure. She begs for help, "Little sister, I'm out of strength. Come and help me!"

At that moment, an ethereal beauty in a white dress who seemed as divine as a fairy descending onto the mortal realm also sighed and entered the cauldron...

Another hour passed, and a voluptuous, enchanting woman also stepped in...

It took the united effort of the three women to suppress the malicious yang poison...

At this moment, Ye Qiujue, the disciple inside the cauldron, gradually woke up. Seeing the three women, naked and covered in bruises, beside him, he remembered everything that had just happened and was taken aback, "Masters, what..."

The woman in the palace dress puts a finger to his lips and gently says, "Qiujue, don't speak. We understand! There is nothing more we can teach you! It's time for you to leave Penglai!"

"The grudge of your family's annihilation should also be avenged!"

"After returning to the mortal realm, don't forget to find your six older sisters. They are intimately connected with you!"

"Also, the yang poison inside your body could explode at any moment within the coming year. Be sure not to let your guard down!"

"Yes!"

Ye Qiujue knelt and kowtowed three times, "Thank you, Masters, for your nurturing over the past five years. I will never forget this kindness. Today, I am leaving Penglai to avenge my family's adversity. When the revenge is fulfilled, I will return to pay my respect to you!"

"Go!"

The beautiful woman in palace attire nodded, with just a wave of her hand!

The normally calm and mirror-like seascape suddenly rose into tumultuous waves that spread neatly to both sides, clearing out a wide pathway!

"Remember, stir up a storm in the Dragon Kingdom! Or don't dare to claim that you're my student from the Penglai Fairy Island!"

"I will abide by Master's teachings!"

Ye Qijue set off atop the waves, like a dragon breaking free from its mountain!

Five years ago, he was originally the elder son of the Ye family from Lingzhou in Jiangdong, Dragon Kingdom. Even though he was adopted, Ye Qijue did not let everyone down. He was a brilliant operator in the world of business, becoming a billionaire at just twenty years old, basking in unparalleled glory!

In Lingzhou, the families with unmarried daughters came in droves to propose marriage!

However, on the day of their engagement, his fiancée Su Man and her family unexpectedly drugged him. Together with the tyrannical Zhou family of Lingzhou, they brutally massacred the Ye family!

The Su family had long been harboring evil intentions!

His father, Ye Yang, knelt on the ground begging bitterly, humiliated to the point of being like a dog, but was skinned and bone-shattered by the Su family! He died on the spot!

His mother, unable to bear the humiliation, bit her tongue and committed suicide!

All the hundred-plus members of the Ye family were brutally killed right in front of his eyes!

And he, was held down by Su Man, Zhou Qiang, and others, forcing him to kneel down!

How could Ye Qijue possibly kneel!?

His hatred was immense!

"If I do not die, I will become a vengeful spirit and drag you all down to hell!"

Suman, Zhou Qiang and the others were infuriated!

"Threatening us even when you are on death's door? Stubborn to the end, huh? Let's see how tough you are without your spine!"

"Watch as the Ye family crumbles before your eyes!"

They brutally extracted Ye Qi Jue's spine!

His entire skeleton was then shattered and thrown into a pile of bodies!

After that, they drenched the Ye residence with gasoline and set it ablaze!

The raging fire buried everything!

"Hahaha! The illustrious Ye family of Lingzhou has disappeared! All their wealth now belongs to us!"

"And not to mention the promise made by the influential figure."

"Our families are indeed on the path to boundless prosperity!"

"Master Ye, we're waiting for your vengeful spirit to seek revenge..."

Amidst the raging flames, the Zhou and Su family left, laughing maniacally!

Unbeknownst to them, an old servant from the Ye family, severely wounded but not dead, braved the torturous flames. He managed to drag Ye Qi Jue's body out of the pile, supporting his battered body, took Ye Qi Jue to the riverside, and pushed him into the water!

And I...I was almost turned into a corpse by the blazing flame!

"Zhong Bo!"

"Young Master... the Ye family... owes you nothing... this old servant can only take you this far…"

In the flames, Zhong Bo died standing.

Soon after, Ye Qi Jue drifted along the great river, where a senior sister rescued him and took him to Penglai Fairy Island, where he studied martial arts and cultivated the Dao.

Five years later, Ye Qi Jue finally underwent the trials and returned as a triumphant dragon!

His gaze was piercing, directed towards the Dragon Kingdom.

"Su Family, Zhou Family, are you ready for your retribution?!"

…

One day later, in the east of the river!

Ye Family’s old mansion!

The once-bustling area of Lingzhou was now just a field of ruins!

Over a hundred souls ‘for no apparent reason’ lost their lives in the fire, who dares to claim this bit of land?

It remained deserted!

Simultaneously, it also served as an intimidation to the few people in Lingzhou who knew the truth!

In the east of the river, unseen hands wield total control!

Ye Qi Jue arrives at the scene, with eyes that seem to bleed tears. Here, the bones of his entire Ye family are buried!

There are even no bones!

Only ashes!

Blood Debts! Must be paid with blood itself!

Ye Wu Sheng holds a memorial ceremony for his clansman with incense and strong wine!

At this moment, a passing woman kindly warns:

"Young man, are you a relative of the Ye family? But I warn you, the Zhou and Su families have an order - no one is allowed to hold a memorial for the Ye family! Those who defy this order are considered to be in opposition to them!"

"The two families are now all-powerful in Lingzhou, not to be trifled with!"

"It's best if you leave!"

Ye Qi Jue glances at her: "Don't worry! Granny, do you know about the Ye family's affairs?"

The woman sighs: "Alas! On the surface, it seems like a natural disaster, a fire. But who in Lingzhou doesn't know that the Zhou and Su families rose to power by stepping on the bones of the Ye family? Especially the Su family. Su Man took over all the assets of the Ye family using the identity of the Ye daughter-in-law, marrying the young master of the Zhou family in a heartbeat. Now they're even planning to marry the only surviving Ye girl to a fool from the Li family... their hearts are truly ruthless..."

"What!"

Ye Qi Jue's eyes suddenly opened wide!

He suddenly remembers, back when he’d got engaged, his sister Ye Luo Ling was studying in the capital. Busy with academic responsibilities, she had not made it back in time, hence narrowly avoiding the disaster!

He initially thought that after the Ye family was destroyed, his sister would definitely be captured by the Zhou and Su families, and given the same treatment!

Unexpectedly, he could still hear news about his sister!

His little sister, Ling Er, was still alive!

His heart suddenly surged with emotion!

"Is the little girl from the Ye family called Ye Luo Ling?"

"She should be! But that poor little girl has suffered a lot. I heard her legs have been shattered. The Li family man she's married to is even an idiot... Ah... it's such a sin..."

Boom——

Ye Qi Jue's pupils contracted, and his eyes instantly flared with raging fury!

On the night the Ye family was destroyed, he had clearly seen members of the Li family among the perpetrators, getting a share of the spoils!

He also knew about the Li family's fool, who was born a dimwit and drooled from the mouth!

These executioners, they still want Ling Er to marry this kind of man?

"Li family! Dare to hurt a finger on my sister and I will have you all pay with your lives!"

He transformed into a gust of wind and left in a whirl.
