The real reason?

Fang Yu's brain was spinning rapidly.

As the supreme authority of Tiandu Mountain, how could he be easily deceived?

Fang Yu sighed and said slowly, "Do I have to tell the truth?"

"You can choose not to say. But, they must die," Empress Ziwei's tone left no room for doubt.

Fang Yu sighed again, shaking his head:

"Because... I want to kill them with my own hands!"

"Hmm?"

Empress Ziwei showed a puzzled expression.

Fang Yu's gaze drifted into the distance as he said, "In fact, my real last name is Lu... The surname Fang was given to me by my adoptive parents. I was originally born into a martial arts family held in high esteem, the Lu Family of Ze State. My ancestors were martial arts experts who commanded respect from everyone. In the Lu Family, any person was a master that ordinary folks would envy... A group of cultivators passed through Ze State and with a single sword strike killed ten of the Lu Family's experts... How could martial artists possibly withstand the cultivators! As they left, they dropped a badge... which is this one."

As he spoke, he took a badge out of his pocket.

Empress Ziwei looked over.

The badge was none other than the mission badge used by the Five Great Divine Palaces during missions.

It read: Tiandu Mountain, Dark Temple.

Seemingly to confirm something...

The Empress extended her jade hand and received the badge.

She said indifferently, "According to the timing, this badge is over a thousand years old... It's the mission badge for the search for Ice Woman."

All made sense now.

By coincidence, Xie Daoyun was also recuperating for a thousand years under the Nine Layers Hall of the Lu Family.

"Ice Woman?" Fang Yu feigned ignorance.

"She was the former Hall Master of one of my Five Great Divine Palaces, the Ice Divine Temple," Empress Ziwei explained indifferently, while her mind recalled the scene from back then; indeed, she had sent those people to find the Ice Woman.

This couldn't be a coincidence.

"Oh, this is her badge? I was wondering why it feels a bit chilly!" Fang Yu was fabricating a story based on the memories in his head. Even if she didn't believe it, he had a second plan for rescue.

Empress Ziwei looked at Fang Yu and said, "So this is why you want to kill them personally?"

"Correct. The hatred for the murder of ten of my Lu ancestors must be avenged," Fang Yu stated earnestly.

"That reason is barely sufficient... but still not enough," Empress Ziwei's voice suddenly raised in pitch.

"I'll prove it to you."

Fang Yu smiled and approached the group of elders.

Just as the elders were puzzled and confused,

Fang Yu lifted his foot and kicked fiercely.

Bang!

The forceful energy surged!

The row of elders spurted out blood.

After kicking, Fang Yu nonchalantly said, "Their cultivation has been abolished by me... I am a Saint Rank Doctor, no one in this world will be able to heal them. I will take these people away, and sprinkle their blood on my ancestors' graves."

Upon hearing this,

Empress Ziwei couldn't help but show a look of guilt, saying, "I didn't expect the Five Great Divine Palaces to have caused such trouble for Mr. Fang's ancestors. Empress Ziwei apologizes to you first."

"Not knowing is not a fault, it has nothing to do with Miss Ziwei," Fang Yu gestured dismissively.

"Good, I agree to Mr. Fang's conditions... However, I hope to see their heads in seven days," Empress Ziwei suddenly said.

Fang Yu was taken aback, pondered for a few seconds, then said, "Alright. I also agree to join Tiandu Mountain! In seven days, I shall personally go to Tiandu Mountain!"

Empress Ziwei nodded in satisfaction, extended her jade hand and said, "I warmly welcome Mr. Fang, and I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation. Attendants."

"Present!"

"Take these criminals away and send them to the location designated by Mr. Fang."

"Yes!"

The bodyguards began to move, escorting the criminals away from Emperor Square.

Fang Yu also waved to Empress Ziwei, saying, "Thank you for Miss Ziwei's help. See you in seven days."

Having said that, he turned and left.

...

Watching the receding figure of Fang Yu.

Empress Ziwei revealed a thoughtful smile.

At this moment, a subordinate approached and bowed, saying: "Your Majesty the Empress... why not kill these old farts?"

Ziwei did not look at the subordinate but said: "Which is more important, a Saint Rank Doctor or these old farts?"

"This... of course, the Saint Rank Doctor is more important."

Given the current situation, a Saint Rank Doctor was obviously of much greater value than those useless old farts. However... not having killed them felt somewhat amiss.

"Your Majesty, don't you think Mr. Fang is lying?" the subordinate inquired again.

"Does this Empress need you to teach me how to conduct my affairs?"

"This subordinate dares not!" The man trembled with fear.

Empress Ziwei flicked her hand and left the square.

She boarded a luxury car, heading towards Tiandu Mountain.

Through the busy streets teeming with traffic, the crowds who were originally braced for a bloody storm safely spent this day.

Sitting in the car.

Ziwei looked out the window indifferently, a faint smile playing around her lips, and said: "Mr. Fang... How could this Empress not know you are deceiving me? Even if you intend to save these old farts, what of it? The Nine Provinces of Huaxia are in my grasp..."

"Should this Empress decree their death, then die they must... I am curious to see, Mr. Fang, what selfish motives you are hiding..."

...

Meanwhile.

Fang Yu boarded a bus, heading towards the Fang Family.

The old men looked at him with a sense of relief.

"I can't believe this is how we're going to die! This is better, young man... The matter of the past was unintentional, even though we have forgotten it... but we hope you don't carry the burden of hatred..."

"Now that you have crippled our cultivation, we are willing to cleanse your hatred with our blood! Our lives have been worthwhile!"

"Alas, I never imagined that over a thousand years ago, while plundering the Ice Woman, such a tragic karma would be left behind."

"The Lu Family... truly can't remember clearly anymore..."

Hearing their discussion.

Fang Yu suddenly turned around, glared, and shouted: "Shut up, all of you! Don't make me kill you right now!"

"You—"

"A bunch of shameless creatures! What are you looking at! You think you're still at the Supreme Heavenly Rank or the Circulation Heaven Position?"

These old men had significant status and were accustomed to high ranks; they had never been insulted like this and looked extremely unhappy.

After a while.

The vehicle slowly arrived outside the Fang Family gate.

After sending off the driver, Fang Yu made all the old farts get out of the car.

Having been scolded, these elders' impressions and attitudes towards Fang Yu had turned worse than before, showing reluctance.

"What are you looking at, get off the bus quickly!"

"Rascal! Never thought you would be such a person... we would rather die than suffer such a disgraceful insult!" the old man cursed.

"Enough chatter, line up properly!"

Fang Yu urged them.

The elders stood in line, utterly weary.

Fang Yu, standing at the forefront, darkened his expression, and his aura changed.

His hands clasped behind his back.

His gaze swept over the fifty-odd people as if inspecting soldiers.

Following that, Fang Yu coughed slightly and said:

"You've suffered."
