Hearing this,

Fang Yu actually took a seat.

He crossed his legs leisurely.

He knew that Tiandu Hall was filled with powerful experts.

But... he was not afraid at all.

Because... even if he couldn't beat them, Fang Yu was confident in his ability to escape.

With his current strength, the Fifth Transformation Dragon Form, the Circulation Heaven Position, he could already disregard.

Even those of the Supreme Heavenly Rank appeared to him as mere dregs, capable of being wiped out in a single move.

The people around him eyed Fang Yu like tigers stalking their prey, ready to pounce and tear him apart at the Empress's command.

Yet...

Empress Ziwei did not do so.

"If all you want to do is challenge my authority... I can still forgive you. But if you truly wish to take my place... you must showcase the requisite strength. Otherwise... your end will be the same as the Dragon Emperor's."

"Dragon Emperor?"

Fang Yu laughed and said, "I've heard tales of the Dragon Emperor, a great hero who stood tall and proud. Vastly powerful and unfathomable. He was once the master of this Tiandu Hall. Sometimes, I can't help but wonder, how exactly did the Dragon Emperor fall all of a sudden?"

Everyone inhaled sharply.

They hadn't expected Fang Yu to directly mention the Dragon Emperor in front of Empress Ziwei—a taboo so great that a slight indiscretion could spell disaster.

Yet—

Empress Ziwei still repressed the anger in her heart.

At the same time, she candidly expressed her thoughts—

"The Dragon Emperor deserved to die! He thought he was the strongest in the world, he thought he could be the most formidable above all living beings, he thought he could control the life and death of anyone. In reality, he could not... How could someone so selfish, arrogant, and conceited survive in this survival of the fittest world?"

"In the battle of the Northern Desert, he won... but over fifteen thousand Tiandu Mountain disciples died!"

"In the battle of Sishui, he won, but tens of thousands of Cultivators perished."

"He resorted to extreme measures just to win. How could such a person deserve to live?"

Faced with Ziwei's questioning.

Fang Yu chuckled lightly, stood up, and said loudly: "Miss Ziwei, I think you've got it backward. You know full well that this is a world where the strong prey on the weak, where the strong live and the weak die—this truth is eternal. The Dragon Emperor, for his survival, had to make sacrifices. The deaths of those people were not in vain, on the contrary, everyone mourns them and will offer tributes to them for generations to come. Their contributions have not been forgotten!"

Seeing that she did not rebut, Fang Yu continued: "Now, you've been the Empress for over a thousand years. You should be aware that certain sacrifices are inevitable. No one can live peacefully from generation to generation without relying on strength! The Dragon Emperor did what he had to do... Without the Dragon Emperor, there would be no Five Great Divine Palaces, no Seventy-two Sects, and even less likely the current state of the Nine Provinces of Huaxia!"

Upon hearing this.

Empress Ziwei's gaze was fixed firmly on Fang Yu.

Finally, after a long pause, she spoke: "I see... you are a man of the Dragon Emperor."

"You may interpret it as you wish."

"I have misjudged quite a few people in my life. But the sum of them could be counted on one hand. I must say, you are one of them!"

"Your flattery is appreciated," Fang Yu said with a bow and a smile.

"Well then... one more death won't make any difference."

Empress Ziwei said indifferently.

As she finished speaking, someone next to her spoke solemnly, "Mr. Fang, do you really think the Masters of the Five Great Divine Halls are just waiting in their halls for you to come and slay them? Sorry, but you won't have that opportunity."

Clap clap.

The sound of applause arose.

Outside Tiandu Hall, four people slowly walked in.

Lined up in a row.

Their presence was majestic.

"Your Majesty, the Empress."

"Your Majesty, the Empress!"

Upon entering, the four of them saluted Empress Ziwei.

Ziwei nodded, raised her jade hand, and pointed at Fang Yu, commanding: "Take him down."

"Yes!"

These four were the four great guardians of Tiandu Hall.

First-rate warriors of the Supreme Heavenly Rank.

Fang Yu smiled lightly, glanced back, and said: "Is the grand Tiandu Hall going to bully with numbers, pick on the few with the many?"

One of the guardians replied in a deep voice:

"Enough talk! How dare you run wild in Tiandu Hall. I alone am enough!"

As he spoke, the man leaped up and lunged towards Fang Yu.

The other three surprisingly stood still.

"Great Capture Hand!"

Whoosh!

Suddenly, numerous shadows appeared before him, swiftly enveloping Fang Yu.

The people around saw this scene and praised one after another.

"Truly worthy of being one of the four Supreme Heavenly Rank guards of Tiandu Hall!"

"A Saint Rank Doctor at the Circulation Heaven Position, living such a charmed life!"

"He looked for his own death, no one else to blame!"

"Alas... as the saying goes, 'the wise are those who recognize the trends of the world.' If talented individuals don't know how to survive, what good are they?"

"What a pity for his Saint Rank medical skills."

The crowd shook their heads and sighed.

Just when everyone thought that Fang Yu was about to be taken down with one move by the guard.

Fang Yu gently raised his hand—

Boom!

"Fire Dragon Order!"

A blaze of flames surged.

With the enhancement of Fang Yu's Supreme Yang Body, the flames instantly scorched the so-called Supreme Heavenly Rank expert!

Thud!

The guard crashed to the ground.

For a moment, the entire place was silent, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Supreme Heavenly Rank? Taken down in one move like that!

Fang Yu said with a light smile, "Sorry... I forgot, I still have the Fire Dragon Order!"

"It's a Magic Artifact!"

"Turns out to be a Magic Artifact! No wonder he can be so contemptuous!"

"It's no wonder... The Fire Dragon Order was originally a magic artifact of Tiandu Hall, an item that exists alongside the hundred-level Restriction. With the Fire Dragon Order on him, no wonder he can easily pass through the hundred-level Restriction!"

"So that's how it is!"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Fang Yu glanced at them and couldn't be bothered to explain, saying, "Miss Ziwei... since I dare to come alone, I have sufficient confidence and assurance... I advise you to send some stronger opponents. Otherwise, if I defeat them one by one, killing them all, that would be quite unsightly!"

The atmosphere in the hall grew increasingly tense.

Empress Ziwei furrowed her brows slightly and said, "Where are the Hall Masters of the Five Great Divine Halls now?"

Maid Xia'er replied in a low voice, "Your Majesty Empress, having received the latest information from the Hall Masters... The Five Great Divine Halls are now being attacked by an unknown force, and the Hall Masters are fully suppressing it!"

Upon hearing this.

Empress Ziwei recalled the scene of Fang Yu speaking on the phone earlier.

She suddenly stood up—

"Seize him for me!"

With a wave of her hand.

The other three guards, after seeing the Fire Dragon Order, did not dare to take it lightly and simultaneously mobilized their surging Inner Essence to attack together.

Fang Yu once again wielded the Fire Dragon Order.

The flames summoned by the Fire Dragon Order made a whooshing sound.

"Fire Dragon Order!"

Fang Yu shouted loudly.

Just when the three were about to be scorched by the flames—

From behind the Dragon Chair, a man in a black robe slowly emerged, muttering a string of strange characters.

Those characters sounded like divine chants from the heavens.

Hum.

Buzzing.

A powerful force swept toward Fang Yu overwhelmingly.

Bang.

Fang Yu raised his hand to block and performed a mid-air backflip, tumbling to the entrance of the hall in a series.

"Who?" Fang Yu landed and incredulously said.

Before the robed man could speak,

Empress Ziwei angrily said, "A bunch of useless trash, for such a minor matter, why bother troubling Mr. Merlin?"

The man in the black robe was Mr. Merlin, a foreign expert from the Western Regions.

Merlin said indifferently, "Miss Ziwei, there's no need to be angry. This man has grown quite rapidly in a very short time. He must have mastered some Cultivation Method. To prevent any trouble, I took the liberty of acting on behalf of Tiandu Hall."

Hearing this.

Empress Ziwei nodded and said, "Then we'll have to trouble Mr. Merlin."

Black-robed Merlin slowly descended from beside the Dragon Chair.

The entire hall was filled with his terrifying presence.

Fang Yu frowned and said, "A Saint Rank expert?"
