For a time,

Fang Yu and Chen Daotian's unauthorized intrusion into the Cold Pond Forbidden Land of the Northern Desert had spread throughout the entire tribe.

Even as guests, such behavior had touched upon their beliefs!

The young members of the Xu clan gathered as quickly as possible.

"Just knew these people were no good! Xu Huawen is really bringing wolves into the house!"

"I heard he is an Eighth Grade Alchemist! Unexpectedly, such a person would do something so despicable!"

"Our tribe has guarded the Cold Pond Forbidden Land for a thousand years, no one has ever dared to trespass! Not even the Black Mountain Sect! This Jiangzhou Iron Fist King, is outrageous... Is this a look down upon our Xu clan?"

Before long,

Xu Xiaomeng, Xu Sisi, Xu Huawen, and others also arrived one after another.

Seeing Xu Huawen pushing his sister to the scene, the clan members looked over unfriendly.

"Jinx!"

"You've crippled your sister! Now you're bringing harm upon us!"

"What a jinx!"

"Xu Huawen, what's wrong with you, hanging around with such shady friends!"

"I thought you had cozied up to some big shot, so what if he's an Eighth Grade Alchemist, trespassing the Cold Pond Forbidden Land is like slapping our Xu Clan in the face, isn't it?"

There's a saying that goes, many mouths can melt metal.

Being pointed at by so many people,

Even as defiant and stubborn as Xu Huawen, he did not argue with them.

Xu Sisi gently patted the back of his hand and whispered, "Don't worry..."

Standing aside, Xu Xiaomeng sighed, "Damn, I was blind to see him as a talented man with extraordinary conversation. Turns out his true colors are like this. Pah—"

"People are unpredictable! Brother Xu, we should never have apologized to him at the beginning!"

Everyone nodded in agreement angrily.

At this moment, a High Priest holding a magic wand came to the forefront.

Bang!

The magic wand thumped on the ground, the High Priest looked stern and announced loudly, "Our Xu clan has been guarding the Northern Desert for fifteen hundred years, and we have always relied on the spiritual energy emitted from the Cold Pond Forbidden Land to survive, generation after generation, living peaceably without making enemies... Our ancestors said, the Cold Pond Forbidden Land will ensure lasting peace and security for the Xu clan, it is our belief, the very thing we depend on for survival..."

He paused in his tone, his voice rising,

"Now, someone has willfully trampled on our belief, what should be done?"

The young members of the Xu clan raised their fists and shouted:

"Those who offend our clan shall be killed without mercy!"

"Those who offend our clan shall be killed without mercy!"

"Those who offend our clan shall be killed without mercy!"

Seeing everyone voicing out together, with heightened passion, the High Priest gave a slight nod and said gravely, "As far as I know, the person who trespassed the Cold Pond Forbidden Land is an Earth Rank Cultivator, but he possesses an Ancient Battle Technique, and can fight against a Great Heavenly Position master. I ask you... are you afraid?!"

"Not afraid!"

"Not afraid!"

"Not afraid!"

The unity of the Xu clan was terrifying.

That shouting echoed up to the skies.

Xu Huawen, however, furrowed his brows and whispered softly, "Sis, I'm sorry... I didn't expect Brother Yu to be this kind of person!"

A touch of relief appeared on Xu Sisi's pretty face as she whispered softly, "You are still young and have not encountered many things. It's hard to discern the complexity of human hearts, sometimes sis can also be mistaken, let alone you."

Seeing Xu Huawen still looking guilty, she comforted, "Don't take it to heart, the priests will handle this matter."

Right now, that was the only thing to think.

The Great Sacrificial Rite, seeing everyone united, shouted, "Good! All Xu clan members with middle or higher Mystic Rank Cultivation, follow me!"

"Yes!"

The Xu clan's youth started to move.

Following the Great Sacrificial Rite, they marched mightily towards the direction of the Cold Pond Forbidden Land.

...

Meanwhile,

In the Northern Desert, Cold Pond Forbidden Land.

"Brother Yu, this place looks weird, let's leave... I tried a few times, and that stele is really solid, it can't be broken no matter what! Too eerie!"

Fang Yu gave him a disdainful look and said:

"Captain Obvious, there are many restrictions on it. Not to mention you, even I might not be able to break them!"

"Is it that powerful?"

Seeing his surprised look, Fang Yu smiled without responding.

Chen Daotian pointed at the characters on the stele and said, "Yu Bro, do you want me to read these characters out loud to you?"

"Showing off your elementary school education again?" Fang Yu replied irritably.

"It's useless, you can't shake my heart of steel..."

Chen Daotian looked at the characters on the stele and read, "No one but members of the Xu clan may approach. Trespassers will die..."

Fang Yu silently sighed.

"Yu Bro, why are you sighing?"

"It's my fault..."

"Your fault?" Chen Daotian was completely baffled.

"After all, it's been over a thousand years. Daotian, it seems I've forgotten how I set up these restrictions in the first place." Fang Yu sighed deeply.

Chen Daotian felt the urge to curse.

"Yu Bro, are you kidding me? Do you mean to say you're the one who set up these restrictions?"

"Hm, you don't believe me?"

"Well..." Chen Daotian scratched his head, "Can I say I don't believe you? The First Layer of the restrictions almost tore me apart, and I have no clue about the Second Layer. And now you're telling me you set them... Yu Bro, you really are my bro!"

Fang Yu gave him a blank look and said:

"Don't blame me for that. If you're looking for someone to blame, then blame my past self for being too outstanding and genius. These Nine Layers of restrictions, they're really something!"

Before coming to the Northern Desert, Fang Yu was prepared to enter the Cold Pond Forbidden Land.

This was one of his objectives for this trip.

However, he didn't expect the Cold Pond Forbidden Land to have Nine Layers of restrictions.

They were restrictions set up during the time of the Dragon Emperor.

Unfortunately, with fragmented memories, he couldn't remember how to break them at all.

The two of them stood in place, thinking of numerous methods, to no avail.

"Really curious, was I really that smart in my previous life? To set up such restrictions that I can't find any way to break now..." Fang Yu sighed repeatedly.

"Yu Bro, can we have a proper conversation? You're always indirectly praising yourself like this, how do you think it makes me feel?" Chen Daotian said.

"It's fine."

Fang Yu said seriously, "As long as I feel good about it."

"..."

As the two were thinking of ways to break through the Second Layer of restrictions.

Shouts could be heard from outside the Cold Pond Forbidden Land—

"Fang Yu, Chen Daotian! Get the hell out here!"

"Get out!"

"Get out!"

Xu Xiaomeng's voice also came through.

"Son of a bitch, I treated you like an honored guest, introduced you to the Clan Leader, and you repay us like this! Get out and fight a round with your Grandpa Xu!"

"Fang Yu... you've intruded into our Xu clan's forbidden land, it's a great disrespect to our ancestors! Even if you are at Heavenly Rank, we're not the least bit afraid! Hurry up and come out!"

Listening to the noise outside,

Chen Daotian said in confusion, "What treasure is hidden inside for them to be so agitated?"

Fang Yu indifferently said:

"This is their lifeblood; as for what's inside, won't we know once we take it?"

"Yu Bro, cutting off their lifeblood like this, isn't it a bit too much?" Chen Daotian said, listening to the shouting outside.

Fang Yu replied:

"I'm taking back what's mine, it's perfectly justified! No need to waste words on them!"

"Eh... that seems reasonable too."

"I've got it!" Fang Yu suddenly brightened up.

"What have you got?"

"There's a way to get in. Come on, let's go out and meet these eight High Priests of the Xu clan!"
