Shangguan Hong was well aware that if Fang Yu hadn't arrived today, the Luli Sect would have been annihilated. All their disciples would have perished in the Netherworld.

To keep Fang Yu's assistance, there was only one option - let him assume the position of Sect Master.

However...

Fang Yu slowly raised his hand, making a pressing down gesture, and said:

"There's no need for me to take up the position of Sect Master... I know what you're worried about. Rest assured, I have a master plan."

He slowly stood up.

His face calm, his tone even.

Seeing him about to leave.

Lin Weifeng in the grand hall hurriedly gave a formal gesture and said: "Senior... The mishap with the Seventh Saint Heir yesterday, was because he was inadvertently struck by an enemy's Amplification Array, leading to a complete defeat... Senior, you've said that it is likely the work of an Array Master from the Black Mountain Sect... we must be on guard."

The Seventh Luli Saints, supporting their battered bodies, coughed a few times.

Seven faces showed different expressions, but all were grave and sincere.

"Please lend us your aid, Senior."

Clearly, they were afraid Fang Yu would abandon them to fend for themselves.

After all, they would be facing the Black Mountain Sect.

Whether the Luli Sect could survive in this world filled with formidable powers was uncertain.

Fang Yu's gaze swept over them, and he repeated: "As I said, I have a master plan."

Seeing the worried look still on their faces.

Chen Daotian rebuked: "What's so annoying about you people? If Yu Ge says he has a plan, then he definitely does... Stop nagging and prattling. If he wasn't going to help, do you think Yu Ge would have stayed here to babble nonsense with you after killing those people? He would have left right away."

"..."

This made them blush, but they had to admit, it made sense.

Fang Yu said to the Seventh Luli Saints: "Your injuries are severe and cannot be neglected any longer, I'll write you a prescription. Follow it to get medicine, rest well, and stabilize your Dantian. Otherwise, with your Dantian continuously in a damaged state, it will be impossible for you to recover your strength!"

Hearing this.

The Seventh Luli Saints were startled and hurriedly bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you, Senior!"

After speaking.

Fang Yu turned and walked down the stairs.

Shangguan Hong instructed the Luli disciples beside him: "Hurry and prepare a few upper-class rooms!"

"Yes!"

The Luli disciples could not wait for Fang Yu to stay indefinitely. In that case, the remaining forces of the Hongmen would not dare to come over again.

...

In the region of North Mountain.

Beside a certain creek.

In the lush woods, a gaunt man dressed in a black cloak stood by the creek, gazing at the opposite riverbank.

Behind him, one man knelt on the ground, clutching his chest, his face deathly pale.

"Master... Hongmen has failed..."

This person was none other than Ye Huangquan, the Sect Leader of the Hongmen who had managed to escape.

The man in the black cloak didn't turn around, his tone flat as he said, "The reason."

Ye Huangquan endured the pain, and with discomfort said, "I know I shouldn't make excuses, but... all eight of Hongmen's generals were killed, and only by using the Blood Escape Technique did I manage to barely escape. The Luli Sect invited an expert to guard them, a man who not only mastered Ancient Battle Techniques but also wielded a sharp Treasure Sword. With the strength of Hongmen's generals, they were no match for him."

Upon hearing this.

A flicker of surprise passed through the eyes of the man in the black cloak, and he said dispassionately, "Ancient Battle Technique? Treasure Sword?"

Immediately after.

Ye Huangquan recounted everything that had happened in front of the main hall of the Luli Sect to him.

The man nodded slightly and said calmly:

"If what you speak is true, then indeed, you are no match for this person... To master Ancient Battle Techniques, this person's strength must at the very least be at the Earth Rank Upper Class."

Ye Huangquan quickly said:

"I fear it's more than that... His multi-layered technique possessed the destructive power of the Heavenly Position. Therefore, I speculate that his strength must at least be that of a minor Heavenly Position."

"A minor Heavenly Position?"

The man in the black cloak frowned slightly.

He didn't speak further.

Remaining silent, his gaze still and deep like the flowing creek water.

"Master, what should we do now?"

Ye Huangquan clenched his teeth, frustrated that he couldn't immediately go back to take revenge for his fallen Hongmen brothers and sisters.

"Don't worry... If I can make the Hongmen's generals easily defeat the Seventh Luli Saints, I can just as easily deal with a fighter of the Heavenly Position Level." The man in black said.

"But if... the opponent is of the Heavenly Position Level..." Ye Huangquan was still somewhat concerned.

"Be silent."

The man in the black cloak slowly turned around, his hands behind his back, his tone steady as he spoke, "Do not forget that I, Xi Zhongwen, am an Eighth Grade Array Master. Let alone him, even if ten minor Heavenly Positions came at once... I am confident of taking them down."

Hearing these words, Ye Huangquan trembled with excitement, exclaiming: "Master, with such an incredible ability, I am in awe!"

"Just a Heavenly Rank... I will utilize the advantages of North Mountain, Luli Mountain, and the surrounding natural geography to inscribe an Eighth Grade Array. It's just that it will take some time... During these days, you should just focus on healing your wounds!"

"Yes, Ye Huangquan will heed the Master's instructions carefully."

As he said this, he started coughing, spitting out mouthful after mouthful of fresh blood.

"I've left a healing Array by the water reservoir north of Mount Heng, where you can quietly recuperate for a while..."

"Thank you, Master, for saving my life. If a day comes when the Luli Sect is destroyed, Ye Huangquan is willing to be at the Master's beck and call."

Xi Zhongwen's gaze fell on him.

Without saying a word, he slowly walked deeper into the forest.

...

Luli Sect.

In a certain room.

Fang Yu was sitting cross-legged, continuously breathing in and out.

Before long, it was the middle of the night.

"Who would have thought that combining the Divine Dragon Technique with my Reincarnation Technique would result in such a rapid recovery of my Primordial essence!"

Every time he cultivated,

Fang Yu would be surprised.

When he was practicing hard in the mountains, he never felt anything extraordinary.

The more he practiced, the more magical it seemed.

"In three hours, I've recovered to the Realm of Perfection. What would it be like if I broke through to the Nine Layer Divine Dragon Technique?"

Fang Yu slowly opened his eyes.

He grabbed the Mandala in front of his chest.

"Yes, the words... the words within the Mandala."

His fingers tightly clutched the Mandala.

Using his Primordial essence to sense the specific condition of the Mandala.

Concentrating his attention.

Sure enough—

He saw the words engraved on the Mandala.

They were the same words, unchanged.

"Inner Essence, Primordial, Da Dust, Separation and Union."

Eight characters.

Clearly, these represented different types of Spiritual Energy power.

Fang Yu retracted his thoughts.

"When the Divine Dragon Technique breaks through to the Seventh Layer, Inner Essence transforms into Primordial. When will Da Dust energy be enhanced then? And the distant Separation and Union energy."

He could clearly feel that there were more mysteries of the Divine Dragon Technique yet to be unraveled.

Thud thud—

The sound of knocking on the door.

"Come in."

Chen Daotian walked in, yawning and saying, "Brother Yu, the horses are fed. We'll set off early tomorrow."

"Okay," Fang Yu nodded.

"Brother Yu, with your already formidable strength, why go to the Xu family clan?"

The shadow of a sword emerged in Fang Yu's mind as he said, "To retrieve something that once belonged to me."

"But will the Luli Sect be in danger if we leave like this?" Chen Daotian asked.

"Just an Array Master; even if he needs to set up an Array, it will take ten days or half a month. During this period, Shangguan Hong's Heavenly Position Rank strength is enough," said Fang Yu.

Hearing this,

Chen Daotian sighed, "I need to step up my cultivation. I haven't fully absorbed the effects of the Soul Condensing Pill yet." After saying this, he went back to his room.

Watching his departing figure,

Fang Yu laughed, "Shamed and brave thereafter; good to see you're finally feeling some shame."

"..." Chen Daotian almost fell to the ground, "Brother Yu, is it necessary to ridicule me like this?"

"Most men are aware of their own shortcomings, what a pity, most can't change," Fang Yu said with a roll of his eyes.

"I can change, okay... Brother Yu, didn't we used to love chasing girls and drinking? It's been a long time since we've done that," Chen Daotian said.

"Have we?"

"Haven't we?"

"I'll give you a chance to correct yourself," Fang Yu crossed his arms.

"There hasn't, hasn't been. My Brother Yu is the number one good man in the world..." After saying that, he immediately dashed out the door and ran away.

After speaking, Fang Yu smiled slightly.

He didn't lie down to sleep, but instead jumped out the window and made his way to the top of the main hall.

Overlooking the entire Luli Mountain.

"If I were an Array Master, how would I deal with the Luli Sect?"
