"Seven Stars Cloud Gathering Steps!"

Below the courtyard of the Fang Family, everyone looked up in surprise at Fang Yu.

Those Seven Star Steps, treading on air, sent out ripples after ripples, exquisitely beautiful.

"This is the true essence of the Seven Stars Cloud Gathering Steps!" the elders exclaimed in amazement.

"The Seven Stars Cloud Gathering Steps, in fact, utilize the release of Inner Essence to form semi-solid things in the air, then by stepping on them, one can move. Using the mysteries of the Eight Diagrams Seven Stars, the Inner Essence explodes in the air, acting like the fuel of a booster rocket. The speed is extremely fast!"

"That makes sense. But how many people can achieve such precise release? One must know the Qi Men Dun Jia Technique."

"Yes indeed! It must be said, Mr. Fang truly is a rare genius of this age!"

The crowd nodded in agreement.

At this moment.

An elderly man spoke in a low voice: "Everyone pay attention, let's not fall for the enemy's ruse to lead the tiger away from the mountain!"

"Hmm!"

"Who will take charge of the overall situation?" another elder asked.

A member of the Fang Family behind the crowd said, "Master Fang Ju is the highest in rank among us, but he had too much to drink during the day, and he is still sleeping now."

"Let sister Wenjun do it. Before her cultivation, sister Wenjun was the CEO of the Ye Family Corporation in Yanjing, her ability is unquestionable. It's just that she has been focused on cultivating these days and rarely participates in managing the family. Now that Mr. Fang is not here, let sister Wenjun make the decisions." Shangguan Linghui had long been won over by Ye Wenjun's intelligence.

She nominated her at this critical moment.

In fact, among those present, none lacked experience, and their strength and cultivation were all far superior to hers.

However...

This was the Fang Family, and the greatest among them was Fang Yu.

Fang Yu's master, Fang Ju, was also asleep.

Others did not dare upstage the host!

Seeing someone recommend Ye Wenjun was the best outcome. After all, Ye Wenjun was Fang Yu's wife, and by tradition, she would be second in command after the Fang Family!

"Miss Ye… Mr. Fang has gone after Yanzi Li San, and the Fang Family must not let their guard down. We old folks have lost all our cultivation now and can't be of much help, so you take charge!"

"We are willing to follow Miss Ye's commands!"

Seeing everyone so united.

Ye Wenjun stepped forward and spoke calmly: "Thank you all for your support… I will respectfully accept the responsibility… My arrangement is as follows: There is an Eight Diagrams Five Elements Guiyuan Array surrounding the Fang Family, which has been strengthened. Any Circulation Heaven Position strong practitioner who steps into this array will have no choice but to surrender, so we should stay within the Fang Family grounds and not leave rashly… As for the seniors, you have lost all your cultivation, but now we have Ninth Grade Blood Coagulation Pills, so you must seize the chance to recover your strength. In the back garden, Fang Yu has set up no less than ten Spirit Gathering Arrays. You will recover your strength much faster there. Let the Four Saint Generals and the Thirty-six Xuantian carry the Eight Diagrams Flags to protect you."

"Yes!"

The people around replied in unison.

The Fang Family disciples immediately informed the Four Saint Generals residing at Gu Guangxuan's home.

Upon receiving the news, the Four Saint Generals rushed over.

"As for the rest, friends above the Circulation Heaven Position, I'll have to trouble you to patrol the edge of the Array."

"Everything according to Miss Ye's instructions."

The elders bowed one by one and said, "Truly a woman who shows no less courage than a man. Thank you, Miss Ye!"

The elders took their Ninth Grade Blood Coagulation Pills and followed the Fang Family disciples to the back garden.

Soon.

The courtyard quieted down.

Ye Wenjun murmured to herself softly, "I hope we can kill Yanzi Li San, we can't let him escape... otherwise, this is the only way."

Hearing this, Xu Sisi approached and said, "Exactly, if we cannot kill Yanzi Li San. Once he sends a message to the Empress… then the Fang Family might be facing a great calamity."

The three women whispered amongst themselves.

"Sister Wenjun, sometimes I really envy you," said Xu Sisi.

"Envy me? What's there to envy about me."

"I envy you for marrying such a great man."

"…"

Beside her, Shangguan Linghui also joked: "I envy you too."

"You two are teasing me again." Ye Wenjun turned and went back to her room.

...

Meanwhile.

Fang Yu, progressing through the darkness, was chasing faster and faster.

Seven Stars Cloud Gathering Steps were executed to their greatest extent by him.

Swallow Li San was also fast, but upon glancing back and seeing Fang Yu catching up, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "So fast!"

The two kept up the chase, one after the other, for roughly twenty minutes.

Don't underestimate these twenty minutes; at their speed, they could have left the city of Jiangzhou far behind.

That took them straight to the suburbs.

There was no one around.

Not a soul in sight.

There were only desolate, uninhabited building ruins and a cluster of unfinished buildings.

Finally—

Swallow Li San suddenly stopped, leaped high with a flip, and landed on the rooftop.

He slowly turned around.

Soon after, Fang Yu's figure arrived at the base of the building.

With a light leap, he landed on the rooftop as if he was as light as a swallow.

While three stories wasn't very high, being able to leap that high was a mark of a true Supreme Heavenly Rank.

"Why aren't you running anymore?" Fang Yu asked indifferently.

"To be honest, I didn't expect you would be able to catch up with me... I underestimated you. It's not a solution to keep running anyway. I want to test your strength! A Saint Rank Doctor, what kind of courage do you have to pursue a Cultivator!" Swallow Li San said with a smile.

"I too want to know who has the courage to take on the position of Hall Master of the Dark Temple. I guess you haven't received the Divine Statue Baptism, have you?"

Hearing this.

Swallow Li San's entire body shook as he said in shock, "You know about the Divine Statue Baptism?"

"It's more than just knowing… Why are they called the Five Great Divine Palaces? Because they are where gods once resided. Every god left behind a Divine Statue. Only those recognized by the Divine Statue can become Hall Masters and achieve the true Supreme Heavenly Rank."

"Heh heh... You seem to know quite a lot. Even if I haven't undergone the Divine Statue Baptism... But to test your strength, this is enough. And, I have enough confidence to escape."

Fang Yu laughed.

He said, "Many have said such words in front of me before. I hope, like them, you can still be alive!"

Zing!

The Dragon Roar Sword appeared.

On the sword, a purple dragon was coiling around.

It wasn't a big dragon, nor was it the thick, leg-sized giant dragon that Fang Yu usually summoned. It was like a delicate decorative item, a slender dragon as thin as a finger, winding around the Dragon Roar Sword.

Ao—

Swallow Li San was immediately stunned and speechless, "A Heavenly Rank Spiritual Artifact, and its Artifact Spirit is actually a Purple Dragon! My heavens—"

There was only one thought in his mind—escape!

Whoo!

Who had time to pretend anymore?

He had made a big mistake, completely underestimating Fang Yu's strength.

Swoosh!

As he leaped up.

A sword shadow appeared in the air.

Swoosh!

Another sword shadow!

Soon, a sword move with dozens of stacked shadow swarmed over, bringing with it a terrifying aura...

"Damn!"

"How could a Heavenly Rank Spiritual Artifact be so powerful!"

Fang Yu snorted coldly and said, "Die!"

Indeed, the Purple Dragon was the Artifact Spirit of the Dragon Roar Sword!

This was after his breakthrough in the Taia Sect, when the sword evolved! The complete form of the Dragon Roar Sword after its evolution!
