355: Mr. Chen, you are back home!

Fang Mingyue was slapped away.

The Little Squirrel she was holding landed on the shoulder of the figure in green.

Then, the figure in green turned and walked to the dozen or so Qingshan County residents who were either kneeling or slumped on the ground, lowering his head.

A face beneath the bamboo hat slowly appeared before the eyes of these frightened and bewildered Qingshan County residents, and he spoke.

"Everyone, get up!"

The Lao Fuzi, who had been beaten and humiliated by the Fang Family's attendants, suddenly widened his stubborn, cloudy eyes, a hint of daze in them, then his whole body trembled slightly, and his mouth moved.

At this moment, a shrill scream, tinged with hysteria, rang out.

"Ah!"

"I'm going to kill you!"

With a crash, Fang Mingyue crawled out of the pile of broken wood where the collapsed bed had been. Directly opposite the bed was a full-length bronze mirror, and she saw her own reflection.

At this moment, her hair was disheveled, the right side of her face was highly swollen, showing a clear, bright red five-finger mark, and most importantly, a shocking half-foot-long bloodstain appeared on her beautiful face, with tiny wood splinters still embedded in the flesh.

Seeing her reflection in the mirror, the woman screamed like a madwoman. The pile of broken wood beneath her feet instantly turned to dust, and then she abruptly glared at the figure in the bamboo hat, her eyes filled with resentment and sharpness.

"Zheng!"

A white ice sword instantly condensed in her hand, its hum high-pitched. With a movement of her foot, the two-zhang distance was covered in an instant!

This arrogant eldest daughter of the Fang Family, publicly slapped and disfigured, was utterly broken. All reason abandoned her as her sword light pointed directly at the figure in green!

"Mingyue!"

Her father, Fang Tangjing, saw this scene, but it was too late to stop her. Everything happened too quickly, even he hadn't reacted. He glared and roared.

Just in this flash of lightning, the sword light reached a foot behind the figure in green, yet the figure in green remained completely still, seemingly unconcerned.

The next second, with a "ding," the ice sword, which had condensed frost in the air, suddenly struck an invisible Qi wall. Even with the sword blade bent, it couldn't advance an inch.

Immediately following, "crack, crack" sounds of breaking rang out. The sword light instantly began to shatter inch by inch, revealing the sky-blue sword body within, which emitted a mournful wail.

Fang Mingyue's expression changed. She wanted to pull her sword back, but found that the long sword in her hand was firmly fixed by an invisible force, unable to move at all. A terrifying fluctuation emanated from it, sweeping towards her.

Her face finally changed at this moment, her lost reason returned, and she was about to let go, but it was too late. A mountain-like pressure enveloped her body with a crash.

With a "bang," her body couldn't withstand it directly. She screamed and was pressed directly to the ground, making a heavy thud on the floor.

Immediately after, with a "clang," the sword, its spiritual light dim, also fell to the side.

"Enough!" A furious voice, tinged with killing intent, reverberated in everyone's ears. Fang Tangjing, the head of the main branch, had killing intent flickering between his dignified and indifferent brows, his face as dark as water, his tiger-like eyes fixed on the newcomer.

"Your Excellency, who exactly are you? You attacked and injured my eldest daughter without cause, and trespassed into my Fang Family residence. If you don't explain yourself today, then don't even think about leaving."

As his voice fell, inside Qingshan Inn, the sounds of doors opening and windows flipping open crackled. Powerful Auras appeared outside the doors, several colors of spiritual light instantly flared, and waves of Restriction fluctuations swept out, locking down the room as if facing a formidable enemy.

And just as the atmosphere was tense, an excited cry rang out.

"Chen Yuan!"

"It's you!"

"You've returned home!"

The Lao Fuzi recognized the figure in green before him, his eyes clearing from their daze, his voice trembling with excitement.

And with that cry, a series of excited shouts followed closely.

"It's Chen Yuan."

"Chen Yuan."

...

The dozen or so residents clearly saw the face etched in the minds of Qingshan's sixty thousand residents, and they immediately became incredibly excited, supporting each other as they stood up.

And with the shouts and excitement of these dozen local Qingshan residents, the Fang Family members looked at each other, a hint of confusion flickering in their eyes.

Chen Yuan?

What Chen Yuan? Why are these local residents so excited?

And at this moment, with a "whoosh," a grand armchair suddenly slid from the side of the room, coming to rest behind the figure in green.

The figure in green turned around and sat down in the chair, then lifted one foot and actually stepped directly on Fang Mingyue's shoulder blade, pressing her head and body firmly under his foot.

Fang Mingyue, beneath his foot, was humiliated, her face deathly pale, nearly fainting from anger.

This scene made Fang Tangjing and the other Fang Family members' eyelids twitch violently, their expressions changing.

As the eldest daughter of the Fang Family, Fang Mingyue's identity represented the Fang Family's face. Now, she was being trampled underfoot by the newcomer. This was a blatant humiliation to the entire Fang Family.

"This is going too far."

"Let go of Mingyue."

"How dare you!"

...

Shouts of reprimand rang out. Instantly, the Qi in the room grew more and more turbulent, and waves of violent Qi surged towards the person sitting in the chair.

The next second, the figure in green leaned slightly forward, raised his head, and a pair of light golden pupils appeared.

Two points of golden lacquer blazed forth from these pupils, emitting terrifying brilliance.

Three feet from his body, the surging Qi dissipated into nothingness, not even stirring the corner of his clothes.

At this moment, the Fang Family members finally saw the true face of the newcomer!

The golden vertical line between his brows was particularly striking.

As the Fang Family members gazed, those with weaker cultivation felt as if needles were pricking their eyes and quickly averted their gaze, startled in their hearts.

"Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General, Chen Yuan!"

A startled cry suddenly burst forth from among the Fang Family members.

When the Fang Family entered Shu, they naturally had to understand the forces in Shu Land, knowing which people and forces could not be easily provoked. This was a normal investigation.

This person was prominently ranked among them.

Moreover, when they entered Shu, this person's fame was so great, and the rumors so rampant, that it was hard not to know about him.

Most importantly, this was Qingshan County.

This was where this person had risen to prominence in the past, so they naturally had to pay even more attention.

In Shu Land, finding a portrait of the Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General was not difficult. The golden vertical line between his brows was the most striking symbol of this Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General. Rumor had it that it was his third eye, possessing incredible Divine Ability.

This Zhonglang General, rumored to have slain great demons and achieved illustrious military feats on the Ten Thousand Mountains Demon Battlefield in Shu Land, had actually appeared here at this moment, causing the Fang Family members' Aura to shrink instantly, leaving them somewhat at a loss.

After all, a great reputation is never undeserved.

This person was a true Martial Treasure!

The atmosphere in the entire Inn immediately became eerily quiet.

At this moment, Chen Yuan sat in the grand armchair, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he slowly spoke: "I didn't expect you all to know This General!"

"I've heard Ni Chang say that you are Miss Qingzhu's family. I am acquainted with Miss Qingzhu, and we are friends."

"If you all are here as guests in Qingshan County, This General will naturally treat you to good wine and food. But if you are here to cause trouble and harm the common people under my rule, This General will not be so polite."

After speaking, Chen Yuan pressed down with his foot expressionlessly, and Fang Mingyue's shoulder blade beneath him shattered, letting out a miserable scream, completely lacking her previous arrogant Aura. Her Young Miss demeanor was now crushed into dust by Chen Yuan, and she shrieked, her hair disheveled.

"Father!"

"Old Ancestor!"

Fang Mingyue screamed, her cries making one feel strangely "pity."

Fang Tangjing, standing to the side, finally lost his patience. A Martial Treasure Aura, like a mountain roaring and a sea raging, surged out from within him, his voice filled with gnashing teeth.

"Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General, rumor has it you are young and impetuous, doing things too excessively. Be careful not to break your teeth."

As he spoke, he stomped his foot, condensing that astonishing Aura into a single point, and blasted it towards Chen Yuan with a shocking air explosion.

At the Realm of Martial Treasure, every punch and kick is a killing move!

A few feet's distance, reached in the blink of an eye!

Seeing this formation, Chen Yuan merely raised his eyelids slightly, and with a flick of his sleeve, the flying sleeve rolled, its cuff pitch-black, covering the area in front of him.

The next second, the sound of the air explosion suddenly vanished, and along with it, Fang Tangjing also disappeared.

"What's going on?"

"Where's the head of the main branch?"

The Fang Family members were in an uproar. They saw that Chen Yuan had simply waved his sleeve, and Fang Tangjing had vanished into thin air. Their gazes swept around the room in surprise and doubt, but they still couldn't find Fang Tangjing's trace.

Chen Yuan sneered, then raised his hand again, flicked his sleeve, and a figure was thrown out. (End of this chapter)
