"Daotian, have you bragged enough?"

Upon returning, Fang Yu saw him boasting and could not help but mockingly say.

Chen Daotian scratched his head and responded, "If you hadn't come back, I really wouldn't have bragged enough."

Fang Yu didn't bother to deal with him.

The Clan Leader and eight Priests once again knelt to the ground and simultaneously said, "We welcome the Dragon Emperor."

"Stand and speak."

"Yes."

Seeing their restrained attitudes, Fang Yu didn't know what to say.

"I originally did not want to reveal my true identity, but seeing your misunderstandings deepen, I had no choice but to let you know. My strength has not yet returned to its peak condition, so, everything about me must be kept confidential."

The nine individuals nodded simultaneously with utmost respect.

It was only natural.

The fall of the Dragon Emperor alongside the Five Great Divine Palaces had once shocked Jiuzhou. The scheming behind it must be guarded against. If those people were to find out about the Dragon Emperor's rebirth, the dangers involved would be immense.

"Additionally, the plan we discussed earlier to replace Hongmen can be executed at any time, and there's no need to worry about the Black Mountain Sect."

Upon hearing this.

Clan Leader Xu Daoyun still worriedly said:

"I am not afraid of Hongmen, but the powerful ones in the Black Mountain Sect..."

"Rest assured... If I wanted to harm you, why would I wait until now?"

Fang Yu stood with hands behind his back, took his sword and walked towards the outside, saying loudly, "You should know, I also ascended to this position step by step in my previous life. For me, it's just walking the path once more!"

Everyone was deeply shaken.

They felt that bold and confident aura emanating from Fang Yu.

Such confidence gave them enough assurance.

"Rest assured, Dragon Emperor, the Xu clan will do everything possible to support the Dragon Emperor..."

As they spoke.

The crowd followed Fang Yu and left.

In front of the Cold Pond Forbidden Land.

The descendants of the Xu clan were all blankly staring at the entrance.

"He has come out!"

"Eh? Why aren't the Clan Leader and the Priest attacking him?!"

"What exactly happened?"

The scene stirred up discussions once again.

They were puzzled by the sudden change in the attitudes of the Clan Leader and the Priests.

The discussion between Fang Yu and them was in front of the Double Restriction, so the Xu clan descendants had not heard it and did not know what had happened.

When they saw Fang Yu leading the way, coming out.

They all showed hostility.

"Fang Yu, you dare to come out! Die!"

Xu Xiaomeng, who had just rested, was the first to stand up; he was always a warrior of the Xu clan. A hero praised by everyone, especially now, he could not back down.

As he spoke.

Xu Xiaomeng charged with bear-like steps.

His fists burst with robust power.

Seeing this.

Clan Leader Xu Daoyun's complexion changed dramatically, and he raised his hand shouting, "Stop!"

Unfortunately, it was too late.

However.

Fang Yu's expression was very calm, seemingly not angry, but instead lightly pushed with his hand.

With a bang, Xu Xiaomeng fell to the ground once again.

After cultivating in the Cold Pond, Fang Yu's Primordial strength had reached a new level, let alone Xu Xiaomeng, even any of the eight Priests could not confidently say they could defeat Fang Yu.

The area fell silent.

Xu Xiaomeng, still clutching his chest, had a face full of defiance.

"You've gotten a bit smarter since just now, quite clever indeed, but unfortunately, everything depends on the situation. In the face of absolute power, all the clever tricks are meaningless," Fang Yu said lightly.

Xu Huawen coldly snorted, "I'm coming!"

He had just called out.

Clan Leader Xu Daoyun reprimanded: "I want to see who dares to move! Do my words really hold no weight at all?"

The voice echoed in every clan member's ears.

Now, nobody spoke.

The head of the clan had spoken—who would dare to disobey?

Immediately following, Clan Leader Xu Daoyun stared straight at Xu Xiaomeng and commanded, "Xu Xiaomeng!"

Xu Xiaomeng, with a clueless face, responded, "Yes."

"Apologize... apologize to him!" Clan Leader Xu Daoyun almost let slip the true identity of the Dragon Emperor.

"Ah?"

Xu Xiaomeng was stunned.

It wasn't just him; the descendants of the Xu family were also unable to understand.

It was hard enough to comprehend not killing him, but to actually have Xu Xiaomeng apologize? What kind of logic was that?

"Xu Xiaomeng, I'll say it one last time, apologize to him!"

Even though Xu Xiaomeng had a thousand reasons not to, he had to obey the Clan Leader's orders.

Xu Xiaomeng bowed and apologized to Fang Yu.

Clan Leader Xu Daoyun announced loudly:

"Everything has been clarified now. This whole event, from start to finish, was a misunderstanding. This person... who entered the Cold Pond Forbidden Land, Fang Yu, is our esteemed guest of the Xu Clan! Everything before was a misunderstanding... Did everyone hear that clearly?"

Upon hearing this, the whole scene burst into uproar.

You must know.

Their Xu family has guarded beside the Cold Pond Forbidden Land for generations, revering and protecting the Cold Pond as a matter of faith.

What kind of misunderstanding could possibly excuse trespassing into the Cold Pond Forbidden Land?

It was truly incomprehensible.

"Clan Leader, I really don't understand… He trespassed into the forbidden land, according to our clan's rules, we should have executed him without question!"

The Xu descendants stared intently at Fang Yu.

The Clan Leader said sternly:

"Everyone listen... from now on, Fang Yu will be the most honored guest of our Xu Clan. Anyone who disagrees, I will not be lenient."

The crowd was murmuring incessantly.

One of the priests spoke:

"The Clan Leader has already made it very clear... Actually, it was all a misunderstanding, it's just that this misunderstanding is not something we can disclose to everyone now. When the right time comes, justice will be served for everyone."

This statement seemed fair enough.

So, it was all just a misunderstanding.

Since it was a misunderstanding, holding onto it would just make one look foolish.

Some of the disciples nodded.

"With the Priest speaking, we as Xu descendants shall follow the orders."

Everyone bowed.

Xu Xiaoming clapped his hands and said, "I knew you weren't that kind of person, it was all a misunderstanding... Although I don't know what the misunderstanding was, I feel that befriending you must be exciting!"

Saying this, he came forward and thumped Fang Yu's chest.

This action left the Clan Leader and the eight priests dumbfounded and in shock.

What a brainless fool!

Luckily, Fang Yu didn't mind.

"Xu Xiaomeng, you are quite clever. Study the combat skills more and practice hard, I have high expectations for you!"

Xu Xiaomeng replied cheerfully:

"How about you give me some pointers?"

Fang Yu was taken aback.

Xu Xiaomeng grinned and said, "Honestly, I figured out these combat skills by myself. After fighting with you, I realized there's so much to learn. The eight priests are too busy, I can't bear to bother them every day... if all else fails, I'll acknowledge you as my master!"

After saying this,

Xu Xiaomeng suddenly knelt down.

"..."

Everyone watched in bafflement.

Unsure what brought this on.

Xu Huawen looked on, feeling uneasy inside, and said, "Gosh, some people are really shameless, not even asking if the other party is willing to accept a disciple."

"Xu Huawen, are you freaking jealous?"

"Jealous of you? Pah!" Xu Huawen said nonchalantly.

Fang Yu raised his hands, pressing down, saying, "Stop arguing... Xu Xiaomeng, under my current circumstances, it's really inconvenient for me to take on disciples. Let's not talk about this again..."

"This... Master..." Xu Xiaomeng actually had the intention of becoming a disciple for a long time.

"Daotian, let's go."

"Master... don't go... Master."

"Let go! Hurry and let go!"

Fang Yu and Chen Daotian left hastily.

Leaving behind Xu Xiaomeng with a face full of reluctance, and the stunned priests and Clan Leader, unaware that Xu Daoyun and the priests were already sweating profusely.
