91: Chapter 91 The Destruction of Fang Zhong

The members of the Fang Family had been increasingly anxious lately.

Their Old Ancestor had taken people to Qingyuan County and had not yet returned. Logically, they should send someone out to investigate the situation.

However, before the Old Ancestor left, he had instructed everyone not to leave the Yunmeng Ruins until he returned. He worried that some surviving members of the Su Family might become desperate and set up an ambush outside the Yunmeng Ruins to retaliate against the Fang Family.

The Old Ancestor had taken away the majority of the Fang Family's strength, leaving behind only a few elders whose cultivation was decent. The rest were mostly young sprouts who had not yet grown.

"Perhaps I should go out and investigate? After all, the Fang Family has the Yunshou Alliance backing them, and our ancestral land within the Yunmeng Ruins is generally safe."

An elder of the Fang Family paced back and forth in the main hall, feeling a vague sense of unease.

The younger members of the clan quickly tried to dissuade him: "Fifth Duke, absolutely not. The Old Ancestor's instructions must have a reason. Going out carries too much risk. We should just stay in the clan and wait."

"Perhaps the Old Ancestor and the others discovered some Opportunity, or maybe the ongoing war caused a slight delay."

This statement made many people in the hall secretly nod in agreement.

Although the Old Ancestor and the others were past their expected return time, the outside world was engulfed in continuous warfare, making detours a real possibility. They were likely just overthinking things.

The Fifth Duke looked anxious and couldn't help voicing his worry: "It's mainly because my right eyelid keeps twitching; I feel like something bad is about to happen!"

"Right eyelid?" The young man from the Fang Family blinked, then suddenly slapped his palm and exclaimed in surprise: "Left eye disaster, right eye fortune—this means something good is about to happen!"

"Isn't it left eye fortune, right eye disaster?" another person muttered quietly.

The Fifth Duke sighed in the main hall, growing more agitated.

Suddenly, he heard a commotion from outside. Just as he extended his Divine Sense to investigate, a Flying Sword shot in like a rainbow piercing the sun, penetrating the Formation, the walls, the windows... heading directly for his brow!

The Fifth Duke's face changed drastically, and he hastily summoned a defensive Magical Artifact.

Clang—

The Magical Artifacts collided with a sharp, grating sound, and violent spiritual energy fluctuations spread out layer by layer between the two.

The ground, tables, chairs, and plants were instantly crushed into dust! All the young people inside the room were blown out by the energy!

The Fifth Duke spat out a mouthful of fresh blood with a 'wah,' the Magical Artifact in his hand shattered into fragments, and his entire body was thrown backward like a kite whose string had snapped.

"What happened?!"

"It's an enemy attack!! Where are the guards? Where did they all go?"

Those who reacted slowly hadn't even processed what was happening before they heard someone shouting at the top of their lungs.

"Enemy attack? Who dares to attack the Fang Family in the Yunmeng Ruins?"

Everyone was greatly alarmed. Their first reaction upon rising was to flee the Fang Family and seek help from the Yunshou Alliance.

"Hurry and go—"

The Fifth Duke roared loudly, spitting blood from his mouth.

As soon as the words fell, a rainbow instantly pierced through his skull, and his shout abruptly stopped...

"Gentlemen, there's no need to struggle. This place has already been set up with my trapping Formation; you cannot escape."

Four figures stepped into the Fang Family courtyard. The deadly rainbow circled in the air once before hovering steadily in front of the leading man.

Su Yang held a Formation Plate, his gaze cold as he swept over the panicked Disciples of the Fang Family before him.

"You... who are you!" The Fang Family Cultivator was horrified, pointing a trembling finger at Su Yang and the others, "Our Fang Family is backed by the Yunshou Alliance; they will never let you go!"

Someone refused to believe it and secretly tried to escape, but they hit an invisible barrier of the Formation with a 'peng' sound and stumbled.

"Leave none alive!"

Su Yang had no intention of engaging in verbal sparring. He flicked his finger, and the Flying Sword before him once again turned into a deadly rainbow, shooting out rapidly, weaving through the courtyard. Every dull impact sound signaled the harvesting of another life.

Su Xuanheng and Wei Yan simultaneously drew their swords and struck out.

In an instant, an unusual phenomenon occurred, as if the sun and moon were shining together, and a blinding radiance suddenly erupted!

An Ziyao sneered, his entire body erupting with crimson flames. His bronze-colored skin looked as if it were covered in a layer of magma armor. He charged into the crowd like a fierce tiger descending a mountain, initiating a bloody slaughter.

The same scene unfolded at the Zhong Family.

Song Baiqing and the other nine Sword Cultivators arrived directly at the Zhong Family's inner courtyard. Sword Qi crisscrossed, covering the area like a vast net. The Zhong Family Cultivators didn't even have a chance to shout before being shredded by the scattered sword shadows.

Limbs instantly snapped, and heads were thrown high into the air. Warm blood sprayed out like an uncontrolled fountain, tracing streaks of tragic scarlet under the blinding sword light.

The Zhong Family's inner courtyard was transformed into a living hell, littered with corpses. The mansion that had been full of life just moments ago now held only the sharp whistling of Sword Qi and the pattering sound of dripping blood.

Even if the Zhong Family Head had survived, against Sword Cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining, he would have only managed to withstand a couple more sword strikes at most.

Moreover, the Zhong Family was internally hollowed out, filled only with undeveloped young sprouts and elderly Cultivators. Under the siege of nine Sword Cultivators, even setting up a trapping Formation became superfluous.

The fighting on both sides lasted for about an hour before gradually concluding.

After Su Yang confirmed that no one was left alive, a scorching flame burst forth from his palm, instantly engulfing the courtyard piled high with corpses.

Afterward, the group thoroughly looted the Fang Family mansion, not even sparing the spirit plant that hadn't matured yet.

"You all go and check the Fang Family's shops. If there are any survivors, kill them all. Eradicating the roots prevents future trouble."

Su Xuanheng and the other two nodded solemnly and immediately headed toward the Fang Family's commercial establishments.

Su Yang walked out of the Fang Family mansion with a calm expression. A plain-looking man in gray robes was waiting for him opposite.

"May I ask how Senior is addressed?" Su Yang cupped his hands in greeting.

"Loose Cultivator Chen Hao."

The man said calmly, "You destroyed the Fang Family. Did you find a token carved with the Myriad Beast Diagram in the residence?"

Su Yang froze, scanning the storage rings and Storage Pouches he had collected with his Divine Sense.

This person's cultivation was profound and unfathomable; he was most likely a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

He had initially assumed this person was a Cultivator seeking justice for the Fang Family, but instead, the other party asked such an abrupt question.

"Senior Chen, this Junior did not see such an item. If you do not believe me, you may investigate yourself."

Su Yang used his spiritual power to roll over a storage ring containing all the resources plundered from the Fang Family's residence.

Chen Hao frowned slightly but did not examine it. Instead, he continued to ask, "Then did you obtain a Beast Taming Inheritance?"

This question made Su Yang's heart tremble.

Fang Xin and the others obtaining the Foundation Establishment Immortal Cave Opportunity in Lanshui County indeed had another reason, and it wasn't purely good luck!

Before Su Yang could ponder, Chen Hao revealed the truth directly.

"I might as well tell you, that token is related to an Opportunity within a Foundation Establishment Immortal Cave. It originally drifted around at a stall. I had a chance to pick up a bargain but deliberately gave it up, and it ended up in the hands of the Fang Family."

"Later, after careful investigation, I learned that the token's owner was a Disciple of the Yuling Sect, and possessing this token grants free access to his Immortal Cave."

"I, Chen Hao, disdain seizing things by force. This Inheritance is extremely important to me. Young friend, name your price."

Chen Hao, being a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, maintained an extremely polite attitude—so polite that it made Su Yang suspect there might be a conspiracy involved.
