356: The Fang Family Ancestor and the Three Thieves (Second Update, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)

It was Fang Tangjing!

The opponent was flung out, landing back inside the room, stumbling back several steps before regaining his balance, his face turning incredibly grim.

This action made everyone's eyelids twitch, and they couldn't help but gasp.

The Fang Family's eldest branch, one of their only two Martial Treasuries, was being toyed with like a child in the hands of this Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General.

A Fang Family member, regaining his senses, his eyelids twitching, understood the Divine Ability Chen Yuan had just displayed and exclaimed in a low voice, “It’s a spatial Divine Ability!”

At this moment, Chen Yuan glanced sideways at the Fang Family's eldest branch and said casually, “Your Excellency hasn’t even opened a Divine Treasury, so there’s no need to waste your effort.”

This light remark, like a critical blow, made the Fang Family's eldest branch lose all face in front of the Fang Family members, his complexion fluctuating between green and pale.

“You—”

“Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General, don’t bully others too much.”

“Street rumors say you’ve made enemies on all sides and might not even be able to protect yourself. You came to my Fang Family without a word and started a fight; I’ve finally witnessed it.”

Then Chen Yuan sneered,

“The Fang Family?”

“This is Qingshan County!”

“It’s under the jurisdiction of my Jiannan Road.”

“If others respect me a foot, I respect them a yard. You don’t need to worry about how This General is doing.”

As he spoke, he slanted his gaze, a half-smile on his face: “Your Excellency still hasn’t called anyone? Please invite your Fang Family Old Ancestor out!”

“This General has something important to ask your Old Ancestor!”

Chen Yuan had already swept the entire inn with his Dharma Eye, but he hadn't found the presence of the so-called Fang Family Old Ancestor!

Either the opponent’s Divine Ability was extraordinary, and his Dharma Eye couldn’t detect it, or the Old Ancestor was not in the inn at the moment.

Fang Tangjing’s face turned black with rage upon hearing Chen Yuan’s words. He turned his head and spoke towards the door, his voice gritting his teeth,

“Go!”

“Invite the Old Ancestor!”

As he spoke, the Fang Family's eldest branch looked at Chen Yuan, who was seated steadily in the grand chair, a fire burning in his heart.

Once the Old Ancestor arrived, they would see how arrogant and overbearing this Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General could still be.

This person was too arrogant!

He had completely disgraced him.

At this moment, the Fang Family members in the inn also felt stifled, daring not to speak their anger, just waiting for their Old Ancestor to appear.

Just then, Chen Yuan spoke to Lian Nishang outside the door, “Ni Chang, take them all back!”

“They” referred to the dozen or so commoners behind him who had been tied up by Fang Mingyue’s people.

Then, Chen Yuan touched the fluffy mass on his left shoulder, then grabbed it and tossed it towards the white figure several yards to his left.

“Miss Qingzhu, you should also go out with Ni Chang. When Chen returns, I’ll host a banquet to deepen our friendship.” He subtly persuaded Fang Qingzhu to leave.

“Yes, Brother!” Under the gaze of the Fang Family members, Lian Nishang’s expression remained unchanged as she walked directly into the room and led the frightened commoners over.

She then walked to Fang Qingzhu, extended her hand, took Fang Qingzhu’s pale hand, and with her other hand on Fang Qingzhu’s waist, she gently said, “Sister Qingzhu, just listen to Brother.”

This was the first time Lian Nishang had addressed Fang Qingzhu in this way; the other party was indeed a bit older, but the two girls had only been casually acquainted before. However, at this moment, none of that mattered.

Fang Qingzhu forced a smile, nodded, and was then helped out by Lian Nishang.

Her father, Fang Tangjing, saw this scene, his face twitching, his eyes dark,

“Rebellious daughter, if you dare to step out of this inn today, then don’t come back again.”

This remark was particularly vicious. Fang Qingzhu, who was being helped by Lian Nishang, trembled slightly, stopped, and her body tensed.

The next second, Fang Qingzhu let out a long breath and stepped forward.

Lian Nishang beside her hesitated a little, only to see Fang Qingzhu turn her face and give a self-deprecating smile, “Sister Ni Chang, let’s go!”

As she spoke, the woman, under the cold gaze of the Fang Family members, left the room with Lian Nishang and the others, heading directly towards the staircase.

“Wretch!”

Fang Tangjing’s forehead throbbed wildly, his chest felt like it would explode with rage, and he couldn’t help but move his feet, but a powerful Qi directly blocked him.

“Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General, do you also intend to meddle in Fang’s family affairs?” Fang Tangjing’s composure completely vanished at this point. He suddenly turned his head, his expression like a volcano about to erupt.

Chen Yuan watched Fang Qingzhu and the others go downstairs before saying indifferently,

“I cannot meddle in Your Excellency’s family affairs.”

“However, when This General speaks, This General dislikes being interrupted.”

After speaking, he kicked the woman at his feet like trash towards the other party, raising his eyelids and saying indifferently, “Take your good Young Miss out to heal her injuries. Next time, This General won’t be so easy to talk to.”

Chen Yuan was a ruthless killer and would not bat an eyelid if he had to kill this woman, but everything had to wait until he met the Fang Family’s Old Ancestor.

As for Fang Qingzhu’s father, he bothered not to comment. On the surface, he treated his two daughters differently, but in reality, they were both the same. He was inherently a cold and heartless fellow, which could be seen from the details, so trampling on him carried no burden whatsoever.

Seeing this, Fang Tangjing’s eyes bulged, but in the end, he just left in a huff, “Take Young Miss out.”

With that, he flicked his sleeves and walked away!

And those Fang Family attendants shivered, quickly taking Young Miss Mingyue out of the room, not daring to linger for another moment. .

The next second,

“Bang”

The room door closed!

Chen Yuan was waiting inside for someone.

Outside the door, the Fang Family members dared not speak their anger,

“Where did the Old Ancestor go?!”

“Why isn’t he back yet?”

, , , , , , , , , , , ,

At this moment, on the other side, two hundred and fifty li east of Qingshan County, in the territory of Langdang Mountain, under the surging waves of Nu River, astonishing waves exploded.

From the great waves, with several “bang bang bang” explosions, several astonishing streams of light shot out of the water.

Several figures rushed into the high sky above Nu River, revealing themselves.

Amidst the howling wind and snow, four figures with immense auras stood facing each other in the air.

Three of them stood on one side.

One person wore a straw hat and was wrapped in black felt, holding a large saber. With angry brows and glaring eyes, the saber was entirely blood-colored, filled with astonishing Evil Qi. He chopped forward, and the large saber immediately transformed into a forty-meter-long blood-colored saber, slashing fiercely towards the Void Realm in front of him;

Another person had a full beard, stood one zhang and six feet tall, with a muscular build and arms like galloping horses. His red-yellow eyebrows were prominent. This person was injured, like an enraged lion. He opened his mouth and spat, and his chest resounded like a grand bell, with two streams of spiritual light shooting out;

And the other person wore a scholar’s cap and a scholar’s robe, dressed as a middle-aged scholar. He held a white jade and gold-tipped brush in his hand, his figure floating, his brushstrokes like Dragons and Snakes, creating golden inscriptions several zhang in size, branded into the Void Realm.

At the same time, he chanted a battle poem!

As he spat out the words, those golden inscriptions transformed magically, turning into hundreds of golden armored horses and iron horses, forming a military formation that rumbled towards the opposite bank.

And facing the three was an old man!

This person leaned on a Dragon-headed cane, his figure gaunt, his eye sockets sunken, his skin wrinkled like old tree bark, with many age spots on his face, and drooping eyelids, appearing like a flickering candle in the wind, on the verge of death.

It was precisely the Old Ancestor that the Fang Family members kept mentioning!

And coincidentally, the three people on the opposite side were precisely the three Yan bandits Chen Yuan had encountered after leaving Tianxiong Pass. (End of this chapter)
