Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Fang Yu hired some ordinary martial artists specifically to help maintain the daily order of the Fang Family while setting up the Eight Diagrams Five Elements Guiyuan Array. They were akin to the house servants of ancient times, similar to modern bodyguards.

There were also brothers from the Dark Web. They were all genuine figures in the Jiangzhou underworld, seen in all kinds of scenes.

In this bustling city, cultivators, let alone martial artists, were a rare sight, which made their physical condition relatively outstanding.

As for the disciples sent by the Luli Sect and the Xu Family of Northern Desert, Fang Yu also had them strengthen their bodies intensively, becoming stronger than other cultivators.

However, looking at these cultivators from the Seventy-two Sects—

They were accustomed to using Inner Essence all year round and lacked physical training.

With their Inner Essence suddenly reduced to zero by the Array, they were utterly unable to adapt.

The Fang Family's disciples easily captured all of them one by one.

Those who resisted were knocked down with a direct punch.

The few women were terrified, their faces pale with shock. They tried to summon their Inner Essence as before, but found their Dantian completely empty,

In a blink of an eye.

All of them were captured.

At this moment.

They were all stunned.

"A Ninth Grade Array Master? This... How is this possible?"

"No way... He's also an Array Master?!"

"An Array Master, Doctor, and Alchemist all in one genius?"

The crowd dared not think further, the more they thought, the more frightened they became.

But just then, someone snorted coldly and said:

"Mr. Fang… Don't mess around, we just fell for your trap unintentionally. Inside this Array, you're the most powerful. Are you… planning to never leave? Even if you don't leave, people from the Seventy-two Sects will come for you sooner or later."

"Yes. Mr. Fang, let's talk this through. Since you don't wish to join any Sect, then let it be. We shall take our leave here!"

"Forget it, to each their own. Since that's the case, we won't bother Mr. Fang any longer."

The crowd nodded in agreement.

However…

Fang Yu raised his hand with a wave and said, "Take them all to the backyard, starve them for two days."

"Yes!"

This startled everyone.

"Fang Yu, what are you trying to do?"

"You dare!"

"You're making an enemy of the Seventy-two Sects!"

Fang Yu's actions immediately angered everyone.

At that moment, Tuoba Xue'er, who had been sitting beside Fang Yu, hastily said, "Make it clear, our Bai Ze isn't as corrupt as you. Serves you right! Big Brother Yu, hit them!"

Fang Yu gestured with his hand:

"I said take them away. Doesn't my word count?"

"Yes!"

The Fang Family disciples began to move, pushing them towards the backyard.

At this point, Fang Yu added:

"This is a small lesson for you. Whenever people from your Sects come to ransom you, I'll release you. This is all forced upon me by you—I already told you to leave, but you just wouldn't listen!"

For a time, wails filled the hall,

When it was time to escort the two women away.

The one named Zhang Yue'er suddenly stepped forward, bowed and said, "Mr. Fang, please be magnanimous, don't stoop to my level. I truly admire and appreciate you, I sincerely wish to stay by your side and learn Medical Skills, please let me!"

The Fang Family disciples looked at the woman awkwardly.

Even at this point, to still be so shamelessly clinging, it was truly speechless.

But out of respect that she was a woman, the Fang Family disciples didn't dare to lay a hand on her.

However, Fang Yu shook his head and said, "I really admire your thick skin. Thicker than a city wall, it's a waste not to send you to guard the borders… Let's see tonight if the mosquitoes can pierce through that skin of yours. Take her away!"

The Fang Family disciples hesitated.

To escort away such a beautiful woman just like that, without a trace of pity for the fairer sex?

However, it lasted only a moment.

The Fang Family disciples then promptly dragged the women into the backyard.

The entire place was guarded by people from the Fang Family.

In the blink of an eye...

The main hall quieted down.

Ye Wenjun looked at Fang Yu with a calm expression and said lightly, "Such a beautiful woman, do you really have the heart to lock her up to suffer?"

Fang Yu wrapped his arm around her small waist, glancing at Tuoba Xue'er out of the corner of his eye, who was full of resentment but trying hard to suppress her emotions, and said, "Wife, how could they compare to you? In your presence, they're just a bunch of mediocrity."

Hearing this compliment, Ye Wenjun didn't show a pleased expression, and instead said:

"What I'm worried about right now isn't that."

"What is it then?"

"Do you think you've been a bit high-profile lately? All seventy-two Sects have come knocking. Now you've captured them all, there's no guarantee they won't give you trouble in the future." Ye Wenjun said lightly.

"Let them come."

Fang Yu said nonchalantly, "Besides, what really restrains them are the Five Great Divine Palaces. People aim high, why should I join them? Don't worry, those seventy-two Sects can't stir up anything significant."

His words embarrassed the two Saint Generals and Tuoba Xue'er.

They were, after all, from the Bai Ze.

Being belittled like this seemed a bit improper.

Tuoba Xue'er muttered with a pout, "Brother Yu, your words really hurt... We from Bai Ze have always been on your side, why do you always lump us together with them?"

"I wasn't talking about you, but who knows if your father might have other ideas?" Fang Yu said.

"I don't care, I just know I'm a good person!"

"Alright, alright, you're a good person... a big good person."

Content with this acknowledgment, Tuoba Xue'er finally showed a satisfied smile, slyly smiled, and came to Ye Wenjun's side, acting very familiar, and hugged Ye Wenjun's arm, saying, "Sister, you're really beautiful."

Ye Wenjun actually broke into a rare smile and said, "You're very cute too."

"Sister, you're not really Brother Yu's wife, are you? Is he lying to you? I hear nowadays men are really good at lying. They're all love scammers; you must not fall for it."

"..."

"Hehe, Sister, you look even better when you smile."

With that, the two of them started chatting.

It's undeniable that women always find common ground to talk about.

This made Fang Yu feel rather helpless.

...

Meanwhile,

The matter of the seventy-two Sects coming to pick a fight had quickly reached the ears of Chen Daotian and others.

Chen Daotian immediately blew up in the WeChat group.

"Damn it, these people are so blind, Brother Yu, I'm going to take people to wipe them out!"

"To not join them and still find ways to coerce, such a thick-faced logic."

The next morning.

Chen Daotian, Xu Huawen, as well as Lin Weifeng, went to find the Four Saint Generals and returned to the Fang Family.

What they found astonishing was that Fang Yu had actually used the Guiyuan Array to trap the envoys from the seventy-two Sects in the backyard.

They didn't need to make a move at all.

Chen Daotian and his companions were full of praise, gaining a whole new respect for Array Masters.

...

Jiangzhou, in the Fang Family's main hall.

"Brother Yu, you're amazing... These are at the very least experts of the Supreme Heavenly Position, and you took them down without even lifting a finger." Chen Daotian flattered.

Standing by the side, Xu Huawen rolled his eyes and said:

"So naïve, it's terrifying..."

"Hey, stable boy, acting like you know so much. Let's hear it then..." Chen Daotian challenged.

The Four Saint Generals were sitting on the side, watching them banter, all in good spirits.

Xu Huawen said, "That's just your ignorance... When it comes to Array Masters, I do know more than you." He paused for a moment, then continued, "Over a thousand years ago, in the great battle of the Northern Desert, the Dragon Emperor passed by the Xu Family in his Dragon Chariot.

"One hundred miles north of the Cold Pond Forbidden Land, in the desert, he fought a tough battle with the Barbarian Clan of the Northern Desert for seventy-seven days! In the end... the Dragon Emperor achieved a narrow victory..."

The Four Saint Generals seemed to also recall records about this, showing a sigh of regret.

Azure Dragon Li Wenyuan added, "The young man is right. How majestic the Dragon Emperor used to be... Unexpectedly, the Barbarian Clan of the Northern Desert called upon an Array Grandmaster. The Dragon Emperor and his men faced their toughest battle there."

"Since then, the Dragon Emperor began to study arrays intensively! For a full hundred years!"
