nvincible Why are you running away so quickly" Fang Yu mocked from behind.The demon didn't respond at all, continuing to charge outward.A while later."Whoosh!"The evil spirit and Fang Yu...rushed out...Today, I went to Jiǔcéng Tǎ. The assassin didn't show up, but a terrifyingly powerful masked man did.

"Fang Yu, that masked man... who is he" Qin Yimo asked.

"I'm not sure, I forgot to ask. But before, at Huamanlou in Jiangnan, I once killed another masked man." Fang Yu replied.

"Another" Qin Yimo looked puzzled.

"According to him, it's his ghost path avatar," Fang Yu replied.

“Clones What clones” Qin Yimo was even more surprised to hear the word.

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you, why ask so many questions" Fang Yu retorted.

Qin Yimo bit her red lips, glared at Fang Yu angrily, but she was helpless.

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Fang Yu said.

"Where are you going" Qin Yimo asked.

"Back to Huaibei Where else could we go" Fang Yu said, walking outside.

As he reached the doorway, he turned back to Qin Yimo and said, "By the way, when you return to Beijing, remind Qin Wudao to send me back the things he's been keeping for me. I might need them soon."

"What is it" Qin Yimo asked curiously.

"A sword." Fang Yu finished, and walked out of the room.

……

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Yu returned to his apartment in Nandou.

Liu Lian Sha is still staying in Shuānghán Palace and should not be able to leave for a short time.

Went to Kowloon Island for a trip and had a fruitful harvest.

First, he obtained the essence of Shenlong and absorbed it into his body. Afterward, he encountered Yuntian, a remnant of the Ziyan Palace, and gained much information from his memories.

Then, there are the items I received earlier today at the top of Jiǔcéng Tǎ.

Thinking about this, Fang Yu took out all those items.

The secret manuals of martial arts in the items aroused his curiosity.

Who on earth collected so many ancient sect's secret techniques

Where did he get these secret manuals from

Fang Yu picked up one of the manuals and flipped through it casually, glancing at the contents.

Judging from the content, this manual seems fine and should be a genuine ancient text.

Fang Yu looked at the other items again, many pills and herbs.

For ordinary martial artists, these items are indeed very good things. Each one auctioned off could fetch a good price.

But for Fang Yu, it was of little use.

The only thing he cared about was the origin of these martial arts manuals.

After much thought yielded no results, Fang Yu put all the items back into his storage bag and placed it aside.

He walked to the balcony, looking at the scenery outside, thinking in his heart about the remnants of Ziyangu Palace.

This time's encounter with Yun Tian is most likely the one who killed dozens of people in Nandou.

His bloodlust likely stems from his soul's prolonged slumber, during which he was infiltrated by sinister energy, clouding his mind.

But that's not the point.

The only important point is the eldest brother, Jiangdao.

From Yuntai's memories, Fang Yu knew that Jiangdao was the core of Ziyangu Palace's revival plan.

Only he could contact other soul spirits, and the so-called sect's divine stone was also in his hands.

As long as Fang Yu finds him, he can completely crush the plan of Ziyangu Palace that has spanned over two thousand years!

According to Yuntai's memory, Jiang Dao should be the earliest soul spirit among them to awaken… Only when reaching the Yuan Ying stage could they activate the sect's divine stone… According to Yuntai and the progress of others like Xiao Chen he had met before...

"Even if Jiang Dao hasn't broken through to the Nascent Soul stage yet, he's probably very close."

Thinking of this, anger rose from Fang Yu's chest, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

He didn't know how much of the Purple Flame Palace's inheritance was contained within that sect's divine stone.

But he would not allow Ziyangu Palace to continue living.

"Jiangdao... I will definitely find you."

Fang Yu looked into the distance, his eyes gleaming with gold!

……

In the evening, Fang Yu sat cross-legged on the floor of his room.

After absorbing the essence of the divine dragon, something felt off in his body.

Meridians, dantian, and blood vessels are all still hot to the touch. While it's not painful, it's not comfortable either.

Fang Yu looked inward, wanting to see if there was anything amiss within his body.

Then, he realized that all the meridians in his body, including his dantian, were now faintly glowing with a translucent golden light.

And the golden dragon, was still circling endlessly around the dantian.

Fang Yu tried to circulate one cycle of true qi.

When the true Qi circulated throughout his entire meridian system and returned to the Dantian, Fang Yu inexplicably felt a wave of comfort.

And at this time, the golden dragon circling in the dantian seemed to sense something, and its circling speed became faster.

Could it be...

Fang Yu once again circulated a cycle of true qi.

This time, the comfort remained, and he distinctly felt that the golden light surging along his meridians had intensified.

Fang Yu was determined right then and there.

The divine dragon's essence has not yet fully merged with its body!

Before, he had only absorbed the essence of the Dragon God into his body!

No wonder I can't feel the presence of the Dragon's power!

A glimmer of excitement flashed in Fang Yu's eyes, and he began to circulate the true energy within his body, further refining the Dragon Source.

……

The next day, a bomb exploded in the Huaibei martial arts world!

Elder Zheng, the eldest of the Zheng family, has emerged from seclusion and successfully broken through to the Martial Saint realm!

Martial Saint!

This realm is one that no martial artist wouldn't want to achieve!

It is said that once one breaks through to the Martial Saint realm, they can truly master the laws of heaven and earth. With a single thought, they can change the colors of the heavens and earth, and with a single move, they can overturn rivers and seas!

Throughout Huaibei, there are very few people who can break through to the Martial Saint realm!

Due to the increasingly scarce spiritual energy on Earth, the last time someone ascended to the rank of Martial Saint was over sixty years ago!

Any family that can produce a martial saint-level expert can instantly elevate its status to the ranks of top martial arts families!

And now the appearance of a martial saint's family, it is surprisingly the Zheng family, who was originally already the first martial arts family in Huaibei!

This is also why this news is so explosive!

The Zheng family had a deep foundation, and in Huaibei they were practically all-powerful.

Now, with the addition of another Martial Saint, their status has reached an unassailable height!

Shortly after the news of Elder Zheng's breakthrough to the Martial Saint realm spread, the Zheng family released another message.

To celebrate the Elder's promotion to the Martial Saint realm, the Zheng family invites guests from all corners!

All major martial arts families and sects, as well as wealthy clans from the secular world, can send representatives to participate. There are no entry requirements!

……

That morning, the Zheng family's house was filled with guests.

Each prominent family sent representatives bearing gifts to congratulate the patriarch of the Zheng family.

Grand Elder Zheng sat on the high seat, looking at the guests who came to offer congratulations with a faint smile on his face.

After he advanced to the Martial Saint realm, his entire aura was fundamentally different from that of ordinary warriors.

This is the gap between 'sacred' and 'human'.

Upon seeing Zheng Family's elder, who emanated an air of profound detachment, all the guests were filled with astonishment.

This is the Martial Saint!

It has been decades since Huaibei produced a renowned martial arts master!

One guest after another walked before Zheng Jia's eldest elder, offering congratulations and presenting their gifts.

Zheng Xiucheng, Yang Yinzhu, Zheng Rong, and two other elders stood aside, quietly watching the guests before them.

For the Zheng family, now is a time of harvest.

Any guest who came to offer congratulations and showed their face was making a statement.

That is their acknowledgement of the Zheng family's dominant position, and in the future, they are also willing to revere the Zheng family.

And to those guests who couldn't make it, our apologies.

After today, the Zheng family will surely be eradicated.

"Dad, I haven't seen anyone from the Han family or the Chen family yet," Zheng Xiucheng said softly into Zheng Rong's ear.

"It's fine." Zheng Rong said with a cold smile.

These two are Zheng's only rivals.

In the past, the Zheng family still had some reservations.

But after the Grand Elder broke through to the Martial Saint realm, they had nothing to worry about.

Whether it's the Chen family or the Han family, if you don't accept this, then let's have a head-on war!

One guest after another stepped forward.

“Grand Elder, I am Han Qi. On behalf of the Han family, I extend my congratulations to you. Congratulations, Grand Elder, on breaking through to the Martial Saint realm. From now on, you will control heaven and earth, and be invincible in the world.”

In a luxurious robe, Han Qi stepped forward, slightly bowing his head and giving Zheng Jia's patriarch a respectful bow.

Elder Zheng burst into laughter and said, "Good! Good! Han Qi, after you go back, tell your family's Han Lao Er that I will visit him for tea when I am free!"

"Alright, Elder, I will definitely pass your words on." Han Qi smiled and walked aside.

Although a smile played on his face, his eyes held a cold and sinister gleam.

Originally, the Han family and the Zheng family were considered equals. However, since today, his status has clearly become that of an inferior guest!

The Han Lao Er mentioned by the patriarch of the Zheng family is the elder of their Han family. He was a martial arts master at the peak of Wu Zun, who once sat on an equal footing with the patriarch of the Zheng family!

Now, the Great Elder of the Zheng family seems to completely disregard the Great Elder of the Han family, even directly addressing him by his nickname!

This significant change in status made Han Qi feel very uncomfortable.

But now, the Han family has no choice but to show weakness temporarily until the Great Elder of the Han family breaks through to the Martial Saint realm.

Time passed, and one guest after another came forward to offer congratulations.

When everyone had finished congratulating him, they all stepped back.

Zheng Xiucheng glanced at the guests, a cruel glint in his eyes, and said to Zheng Rong, "Dad, the Chen family didn't send anyone to our banquet."

"Well, I understand." Zheng Rong nodded, a sneer creeping onto his face. "Once we've dealt with that Fang Yu kid, we'll immediately take action against the Chen family!"

Hearing the name Fang Yu, Yang Yinzhu immediately turned her head and asked, "Shouldn't the Grand Elder be announcing that matter now"

As soon as he finished speaking, the elder patriarch of the Zheng family from the high seat cleared his throat and said, "Thank you all for coming to the Zheng family. I will always remember your congratulations."

Everyone watched silently as the Elder Zheng spoke.

Today, I still have one thing to announce.

Upon hearing this, Yang Yinzhu was so moved that her whole body trembled.

Finally… finally able to openly deal with that bastard Fang Yu!

Yang Yin's eyes were wide open, bulging out of her head, filled with resentment and hatred.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! coldly.Mo Qinghan's face changed, and he immediately lowered his head, not daring to say another word."I'm leaving." Tong WuShuang saw Mo QingHan's eyes were bloodshot, and she felt a little bit of s...
