The tongues of fire emitted a whooshing sound.

The bright red flames were about to engulf Xie Daoyun.

Just as Xie Daoyun was about to give her all, the phrase "Sorry, I'm late!" reached her ears.

Everyone instinctively turned their heads towards the source of the voice.

Outside the main gate.

A figure was rushing forward.

Bang, bang... bang bang...

Each step imprinted into the ground.

"What incredible speed!"

"It's Fang Yu who has returned!"

"The rascal, finally shows up at this moment!"

"The teacher is here, that's great!"

"Son-in-law..."

Although they knew that Fang Yu's strength was still far from the Supreme Heavenly Rank, they had unwavering faith in his ability to resolve the current predicament.

And sure enough...

He had never let anyone down.

Bang Bang!

With a stomp of his feet, Fang Yu left an afterimage in mid-air, arriving right behind Xie Daoyun.

With a single palm strike.

A stream of pure purple gas flowed from his palm, blocking the fire tongues.

Other fire tongues tried to advance.

He grabbed fiercely, choking the throat of the fire tongues.

With his other hand, he gently embraced Xie Daoyun.

Their eyes met, spiraling downward...

Fang Yu's gaze traveled across Xie Daoyun's features, scrutinizing every part, every inch, every millimeter without missing any.

Completely overlapping with the memory of that woman who had sworn to protect him to death, without any complaints.

It was her!

The woman who had protected him from endless night till dawn. The woman who had helped the Dragon Emperor break through from the Circulation Heaven Position to the Supreme Heavenly Rank...

Both slowly descended to the ground.

As if walking on level ground, in utter silence.

In Xie Daoyun's eyes, a faint joy welled up, but it was forcefully suppressed by her pride...

Even almost shedding tears.

He's back.

Finally back!

Fang Yu had changed into a new set of clothes, like battle armor, imposing. The royal aura between his brows seemed to have grown even stronger, making Xie Daoyun, who was at the Supreme Heavenly Rank, dare not meet his eyes directly.

After a moment.

She bowed her head.

Upon landing, Fang Yu's hand still clutched the fire tongue.

With his back to the powerful sea of fire... Lou Shan and Ji Wenxuan looked ahead with shocked expressions...

Who is this man?

He can even withstand the magic artifact Fire Dragon Order!

...

Fang Yu's gaze still lingered on Xie Daoyun.

With a raise of his hand.

The fire tongue dissipated...

"Ice Woman, thank you for your hard work!"

Xie Daoyun stepped back slightly, breaking free from his embrace, and bowed saying: "This is what Ice Woman ought to do... Your Majes... ah..."

"From now on, stop calling me Your Majesty. In these troubled times, the identity of the Dragon Emperor is adverse for me."

"Yes. How should Ice Woman address you?"

"Just like Miss Sisi, call me teacher..."

Upon hearing this.

Xie Daoyun nodded and said: "In those days, you taught and solved doubts without taking disciples... But, everyone calling you teacher is only right."

Not only the people from Taia Sect benefitted deeply from the Dragon Emperor.

Even the past masters of the Five Great Divine Palaces, any one of them has received guidance from the Dragon Emperor.

Including Xie Daoyun.

Her sword skill, her cultivation method, her everything... were all given by the Dragon Emperor.

Fang Yu nodded, then turned ninety degrees...

Facing the Fang Family members, he said with an indifferent smile, "Sorry for startling you all..."

"Little bastard, you finally came back! What kind of crappy formations did you set up! They broke it in mere minutes!" Fang Ju cursed loudly.

"Old man, don't slander me... The formations I set up are enough to withstand those at the Circulation Heaven Position. You didn't keep moving back... had you retreated all the way to the front of the backyard, you'd have been in for a surprise," Fang Yu said with a smile.

Everyone was stunned.

Xu Sisi smiled faintly and said, "The gentleman must have rearranged the triggering Array Eye of the formation to be in the hall, to attract the enemies inside."

"Sisi is really clever..."

Fang Ju rolled his eyes and said, "So what? The problem now is that these two guys have shown up!"

Everyone knew who Fang Ju was referring to.

Of course, it was Ji Wenxuan from Wind Divine Temple and Lou Shan from Dark Temple, two powerful fighters of Supreme Heavenly Rank.

Fang Yu did not hurry to look over there, but scanned the entrance of the backyard.

Full of bloodstains and water stains.

At a glance, it was clear that everyone had been frozen and then shattered to death.

He knew, this was Xie Daoyun's handiwork.

"I also didn't expect the Five Great Divine Palaces to act so hastily."

Only then did Fang Yu slowly turn around to face these two great masters—

"Wind Divine Temple, Dark Temple?"

Ji Wenxuan and Lou Shan then realized the young man who suddenly appeared was the recently famous Saint Rank Doctor, and they were surprised.

"Wind Divine Temple's Ji Wenxuan, at your service, sir."

"Dark Temple's Lou Shan, at your service, sir."

Both bowed quickly.

Their purpose today was not to help the Seventy-two Sects solve problems, but to court Fang Yu.

Fang Yu's gaze swept over them, finally resting on the fiery-red Fire Dragon Order in Lou Shan's hand.

"To use something like the Fire Dragon Order... Clearly, you came prepared. Since you've already decided to fight and kill, then why bow to me? How can the Five Great Divine Palaces do such hypocritical things?"

Both were startled.

Ji Wenxuan clasped his hands and said, "Sir, you misunderstand... I had already expressed my intentions repeatedly on my way here, everything that happened today was a misunderstanding. For the mistakes made by the Seventy-two Sects, I will make them apologize to you. As for the Five Great Divine Palaces, we have no intention of becoming your enemy."

"Oh, so today we're the ones who are being unreasonable and insisting on fighting?"

Fang Yu stepped forward, hands behind his back.

Footsteps resounded.

As if taking a leisurely stroll, easy and unhurried.

"Mr. Fang, this is absolutely a misunderstanding," Ji Wenxuan quickly said, "Given the current situation in the world, which has yet to settle down. Having a Saint Rank Doctor like you is a blessing for our Huaxia, how could we possibly treat you this way?"

Fang Yu stopped.

He turned back and asked, "Ice Woman... Is what they said true?"

Ice Woman leaned forward slightly and said, "Sir, it was indeed Ice Woman who insisted on fighting..."

"Why?"

"Because... they trespassed into the Fang Family... Sir, you once said, enemies of mine, however far they may be, must be eradicated. These people, harboring malicious intentions, if not removed this time, will definitely return stronger. Instead of letting the tiger return to the mountain, better to cut the grass and eliminate the roots entirely."

Hearing this.

Fang Yu nodded and turned to Ji Wenxuan, saying, "You heard Ice Woman's words... the initial trespass into the Fang Family was by your people..."

He did not want to hear those people's explanations, and said again sternly, "Ice Woman."

"Sir, I'm here."

"Whose lives do you want?"

"The first ones who trespassed into the Fang Family, a total of fifteen people, at the Circulation Heaven Position, Sect Masters of the Seventy-two Sects... Ice Woman has already slain six, nine remain."

The nine Sect Masters standing behind Ji Wenxuan, their faces changed greatly... they couldn't help but tremble and stepped back several steps.

"Hall Master! This person harbors ulterior motives, trying to sow discord! You must not be deceived!"

"Hall Master! This person is terribly wicked! Please allow the Five Great Divine Palaces to act on behalf of the Seventy-two Sects to kill this man and avenge our fellow sect members!"

"Hall Master!!!"

Hearing this.

Fang Yu's gaze became sharp, and he said, "Ji Wenxuan."

Ji Wenxuan was startled, and asked in confusion, "Mr. Fang, please speak."

"Are you the new Divine Hall Master of the Wind Divine Temple?"

"That's right."

"Then you should understand the style of the Five Great Divine Palaces. Being indecisive won't lead to great accomplishments..." Fang Yu's voice deepened, words clear and deliberate, "Spare the lives of those nine, otherwise—there's nothing to discuss!"
