The Yan Land Three Heroes, who had previously wanted to recruit Chen Yuan, seemed incredibly shocked and enraged at this moment, each employing their own methods to furiously attack the Fang Family Old Ancestor.

When the three Wu Zang experts struck simultaneously, their Aura was astonishing, causing the Void Realm to hum and shriek, and the wind and snow to churn for several miles.

Across from them, the Fang Family Old Ancestor's cloudy eyes narrowed slightly. He merely stomped his Dragon Head Staff on the Void Realm beneath his feet, and a white frost quickly spread, directly freezing the Void Realm.

The forty-meter-long blood-colored great saber, like the Blood-Drinking Saber, possessed an astonishing Evil Qi. As it cleaved down, a layer of white frost quickly coated its blade, followed by numerous ice spikes, resembling white crystals, suddenly appearing on the blade.

The 'lingling' sound of freezing was crisp and piercing.

The bearded man's two Divine Ability light pillars transformed into Wind and Fire Dual Wheels, tearing through the Void Realm, leaving two brilliant fiery trails. In an instant, they shot over a li, then struck the frozen cold mist with a 'clang', emitting a deafening roar. Following that, a piercing 'hiss' resounded as ice and fire collided.

The Wind and Fire Dual Wheels frantically cut through the ice, splashing out scorching sparks, slowly pushing forward.

Finally, there was the middle-aged Confucian scholar, wearing a square scarf, holding a white jade gold brush. His brush strokes were like Dragons and Tigers, and at the same time, he recited a battle poem, shaking the vast universe.

"Smoke and dust spread, breaking through the cold stream,

Iron horses neigh, stepping onto the heavens.

Sword points to the sky, startling the vast universe,

Spear waves through wind and snow, dyeing the overlapping peaks."

As this battle poem was chanted, a strange frequency vibrated, drawing the vast Qi of heaven and earth. The next second, the golden characters beneath the brush suddenly burst forth with golden light, transforming into a hundred iron cavalry clad in gleaming cold armor. With clanging weapons and neighing horses, they formed a military formation and charged into the wind and snow ahead.

Horses neighed, hooves thundered and roared, shaking the Void Realm. The hundred iron cavalry, with long spears in hand, broke through the swirling wind and snow, reaching the Fang Family Old Ancestor's Void Realm. Over a hundred long spears startled the air, cutting through the air and breaking the ice, creating an unparalleled sight.

This was the true method of the Confucian School!

Their words were weapons, each character capable of killing.

There are as many scholars in the world as fish crossing a river, but knowing the words of a Saint does not equate to being a Disciple of a Saint. The most basic method of nurturing a vast Qi is like a chasm, separating the scholars of the world. However, this fundamental cultivation method is almost entirely controlled by the aristocratic families. As the Dynasty decayed and land annexation became increasingly severe, ordinary scholars found it difficult to find a way to enter this door. The upward mobility was blocked, evolving to the point where family background became the fundamental method for scholars!

Therefore, some rebelled, some killed aristocratic families, seized cultivation methods, and rebuilt order. New families replaced old ones, and as new and old alternated, the world fell into conflict.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar was the latter.

In an instant, the Yan Land Three Heroes unleashed all their methods: the Blood-Drinking Saber, the Wind and Fire Dual Wheels, and characters forming soldiers. Their power was formidable, inch by inch breaking through the frozen space, heading directly for the Fang Family Old Ancestor's location.

At the same time, an enraged roar sounded,

"Old scoundrel, sneaking around, hand over our people!"

The bearded man among the Yan Land Three Heroes, with a single, fiery red eyebrow, glared fiercely, his eyes filled with rage, as if he wanted to tear the old fellow opposite him to pieces.

The injuries on his body were caused by the other party's sneak attack, making him furious.

The three of them had rushed from Tianxiong Pass to Qingshan County, below Baidi City, before dawn, to verify the rumors their brother Jin had spoken of. No one expected that the people from their brother Jin's branch, who had arrived earlier, had indeed made a discovery.

These branch members searched a thousand-li radius along the Nu River in the mountains. By chance, they finally found clues about that ship here. The key person who played a crucial role in this was just a Qi Refining female, named Wan Wan. Her ancestors had entered that ship, suspected to be left by a Dragon Tiger expert, and knew some methods to find it.

The three of them didn't expect to have a breakthrough as soon as they arrived. They immediately asked this young girl to demonstrate. Just as they were about to see something, an unexpected change occurred. Someone secretly attacked and kidnapped the girl right in front of them.

Now, the three of them were stopping someone, and it was the old fellow opposite them!

The Fang Family Old Ancestor, seeing the three Wu Zang Divine Abilities break through his ice confinement from three directions and strike towards his position in the Void Realm, showed no change in his expression.

He drew a white line three zhang away in the Void Realm in front of him with his Dragon Head Staff. This line was like drawing a prison on the ground, with the sky full of wind and snow surrounding him.

Following that,

"Clang"

"Clang"

"Clang"

Several loud noises.

The blood-colored saber struck down, the Wind and Fire Dual Wheels collided fiercely, and the iron cavalry formed by the battle poem simultaneously threw their long spears, transforming into a giant ten-zhang spear in mid-air, which then shot directly onto the protective cover.

Almost at the same time!

However, the wind and snow protective cover did not dissipate at all.

The Yan Land Three Heroes opposite immediately narrowed their pupils slightly, their hearts chilling.

The next moment, a laugh like a broken bellows sounded,

"Perhaps Heaven pities this old man. As soon as I left, I met three of you. Are you also looking for that ship?"

As his words fell, the clang of metal striking metal intensified.

The great saber, the Wind and Fire Wheels, and the great spear were all sent flying, one by one.

Following that, the wind and snow dispersed, revealing the Fang Family Old Ancestor's figure. He wore a meaningful smile on his Face, his withered, tree-like skin wrinkling even more.

After a brief exchange, the Yan Land Three Heroes finally realized how troublesome this old man was. Their combined attack was seemingly effortlessly resolved by the other party, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

Among the three of them, two had opened two Divine Abilities, and one had opened three.

This old man's Realm seemed to be a step higher than theirs, somewhat unfathomable. Moreover, what the other party said indicated that he had the same objective as them, which was truly unexpected.

This forced the three of them to take the matter seriously.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar, wearing a square scarf and a Confucian robe, cupped his hands towards the opposite side, his eyes gleaming. He loudly said through the wind and snow:

"May I ask Senior's esteemed name? I am Jade Unicorn Jin Yushan from Tai Sui Mountain in Yan."

"Senior's martial Dao is extraordinary. I wonder which famous Jianghu Senior you are. However, Senior secretly acted to capture my branch Disciple and injured my sworn brother, which truly lacks a noble demeanor. This matter concerns my Tai Sui Mountain, so I ask Senior to give us Face."

Unexpectedly, when the Fang Family Old Ancestor heard the name, his cloudy eyes brightened slightly. He coughed, and the wrinkles on his Face deepened.

"Releasing the person is impossible."

As he said this, the Yan Land Three Heroes' expressions slightly changed. But just then, the other party's laughter started again,

"Haha, Tai Sui Mountain?"

"Is your old Village Lord Hu Yanxiong still well?"

Jin Yu Mountain and the other two were surprised to hear the old man speak their Village Lord's name.

"Does Senior know our Taisui Lord?"

Taisui Lord was the title they used for their old Village Lord.

The old Village Lord was known in the Jianghu as the Mountain-Establishing Tai Sui, a true Dragon Tiger. Hearing this old man directly call Taisui Lord by name naturally surprised them, and they couldn't help but speculate.

"Your Taisui Lord truly has great ability. Back then, when that group of us from Yan and Zhao all stormed the Imperial Capital, only a few old fellows like them made a name for themselves."

"This old man, who is half-buried in the earth, can only rely on being old and knowing more people to keep up appearances, cough cough."

The Fang Family Old Ancestor's voice carried a hint of recollection and a kind of self-deprecating laughter.

"Is Senior also from the land of Yan and Zhao? May I ask who Senior is?" Jin Yu Mountain caught the hint in the other party's words, and his thoughts immediately became alert, his tone also becoming more polite.

"This old man, haha, Fang Shiqing of the Fang Family from Zhao!" The Fang Family Old Ancestor spoke his name.

Jin Yu Mountain was stunned for a moment when he heard this name, then realized.

The Jianghu of Yan and Zhao are adjacent, so news naturally spreads quickly.

The Fang Family in Zhao had an Old Ancestor who was said to have been in seclusion for many years, attempting to break through to Dragon Tiger, and had not appeared in the Jianghu for a long time. This must be him.

Rumors said that this person had long since reached the Wu Zang Peak. Decades had passed, so his cultivation should have progressed even further, but he did not feel the oppressive feeling of a Dragon Tiger, but rather a sense of twilight.

Jin Yu Mountain guessed that this person's emergence from seclusion was likely due to a failed attempt to break through to Dragon Tiger, but his foundation should be at the half-step Dragon Tiger Realm.

Moreover, from this incident, it seemed that the other party was looking for that ship for the sake of Dragon Tiger fortune.

Jade Unicorn Jin Yushan quickly deduced most of the situation, but soon frowned. This Fang Family Old Ancestor was from the same generation as Taisui Lord, a half-step Dragon Tiger Realm expert. If the other party truly relied on his seniority, they would truly be helpless. His expression became uncertain.

Just then, in this quiet, snowy world, a silver stream of light flew, heading straight for the Fang Family Old Ancestor.

It was a silver talisman!

The Fang Family Old Ancestor crushed the talisman and frowned. This was a warning talisman from his family.

"This old man must make a trip!"

"I know what you are thinking. The three of you can come and have a cup of tea with this old man first!" (End of chapter)
