They saw clearly.

This person was indeed the one they had been waiting for—Fang Yu.

The Ye Family, from top to bottom, could not hide their anticipation.

Ye Wenjun's stubborn figure also staggered the moment she saw Fang Yu.

He's finally back!

The hall was silent.

The peaceful light spread from afar to near.

Fang Yu walked step by step into the hall.

He passed the Hidden Dragon Guards.

And walked past a group of maids.

His gaze firm on the front, he stopped when he reached the center, looking around.

Finally, Fang Yu saw Ye Wenjun, whose complexion looked slightly unwell, and the scars on her wrists, which made him frown.

"Who injured Wenjun?" Fang Yu spoke.

His voice echoed throughout the hall.

The Ye Family remained silent.

They had placed all their hopes on Fang Yu; if even he could not handle it, who else could solve the current dilemma?

Shangguan Linghui said with her hands behind her back, "It was me—"

Fang Yu glanced at Shangguan Linghui, who stood with an arrogant posture, and asked Ye Wenjun, "Did she injure you?"

For some reason.

Observant and extremely sensitive, Ye Wenjun, felt an even more stable aura from Fang Yu... This aura was just like the one during the execution of the rebellious Hidden Dragon Guards.

Confidence, yet indifferent!

It was this confidence that gave the Ye Family immense assurance.

However—

This aura annoyed Shangguan Linghui.

From her birth, no one had dared to speak to her like this, not even her father who treasured her like a jewel, had never spoken to her in such a tone.

Fang Yu's posture greatly displeased her.

Before Ye Wenjun could respond, Shangguan Linghui said, "No need to ask further... It was me who injured her, are you intending to stand up for her?"

Fang Yu's gaze shifted from Ye Wenjun to Shangguan Linghui.

"You're right."

A maid on the side scorned, "You? A rookie who just started cultivating, daring to oppose our young miss, you're seeking death!"

Not to mention Shangguan Linghui, she also had the backing of the entire Luli Sect.

This is a sect under the Dark Forest Law, banding together for warmth, resisting foreign enemies.

Naturally, their power is unfathomable.

Their standing ensures that their power far surpasses the Lu Family.

"Just based on me..." Fang Yu's tone was very calm.

The maid laughed out loud.

"My young miss is a Mystic Rank upper class cultivator, talented and intelligent, regarded by the sect as the future successor. If you're wise, immediately kneel down and apologize to my young miss. If she feels pleased, perhaps she will spare your life!"

Fang Yu shook his head.

"I gave you a chance, you just didn't cherish it..."

"Hmm?"

"You're gravely ill, yet you refuse to change. Now, it seems no one can save you anymore," Fang Yu said lightly.

Hearing this, Ye Wenjun frowned slightly. Wasn't it said that Shangguan Linghui just had menstrual irregularities? How come it became a grave illness suddenly!

The Ye Family was all paying attention to the development of the situation.

This time, Shangguan Linghui spoke:

"I also gave you a chance to treat me properly... If cured, I will not hold grudges. If not, your whole clan will be punished. This person..." she raised her finger pointing at Ye Wenjun and continued, "dared to defy me; I merely made her kneel and kowtow, that's a huge favor. You still aren't grateful! Don't blame my Luli Sect for being ruthless now!"

Fang Yu looked indifferently at Shangguan Linghui.

A hint of coldness flickered in his eyes—

"Don't just talk about you... even the first generation Sect Master of Luli Sect would have to show respect to me!"

Hearing this.

The maid beside Shangguan Linghui burst out angrily: "How dare you, insulting our first generation Sect Master, you're courting death!"

A black whip lashed out.

Snap!

Fang Yu's face remained indifferent; he raised his hand, leaving traces in the air.

He grabbed the black whip. With a gentle pull backward, the maid was flung out.

Bang!

She hit the doorframe!

Shangguan Linghui and another female servant's faces changed slightly!

He suddenly dared to make a move!

He actually dared to become enemies with the Luli Sect?

It wasn't just them.

Everyone in the Ye Family was also stunned, all of them looking at Fang Yu in disbelief.

Cultivator! Who could afford to offend them? The Lu Family back then, any single member could exterminate the entire Ye Family. Now, the Ye Family was no different from ants in front of the Luli Sect.

Yet, Fang Yu made such a shocking move.

Ye Xingkong's heart raced, his face looking terrible!

Shangguan Linghui frowned and said, "All of this, you chose it yourself. Remember, on the road to Netherworld, there will be your shadow!"

Huh—

Shangguan Linghui made her move.

Innate Gang Qi collided all around.

Crack.

All the tables and chairs shattered.

Members of the Ye Family kept retreating, all the way to the doorway.

Only Fang Yu stood still, unmoving, his face calm, his gaze indifferently looking at Shangguan Linghui.

"What's going on?"

"Why aren't you affected by my Gang Qi?"

Shangguan Linghui's face drastically changed.

Fang Yu stepped forward.

His aura suddenly became even more powerful.

"Impossible! Take my whip!" Shangguan Linghui grabbed a whip from the hand of a servant beside her and lashed it towards him.

Snap!

Fang Yu raised his hand and caught the Black Whip.

"Hasn't your sect taught you—when you encounter a cultivator more than two ranks above you, you should immediately run away?"

"..."

Shangguan Linghui widened her eyes.

What did that mean?

More than two ranks… Could it be saying that his power realm is above Middle Earth Rank?

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You don't have the aura of Innate Gang Qi, you are clearly a novice who has just stepped into the path of cultivation!"

However…

Fang Yu completely ignored her panic and continued, "When the gap in strength exceeds two levels, and the qualities of Primordial Qi clash... you won't be able to harm me in the slightest!"

Upon hearing this.

Shangguan Linghui staggered back a step.

Attribute counters.

This was a bit of higher-level knowledge among cultivators!

Every time Shangguan Linghui heard about such knowledge, she felt a headache and did not want to learn; her father, the Sect Master of the Luli Sect, tirelessly taught her such knowledge every day...

In real combat, when the difference in levels wasn't much, attribute counters would occupy a significant advantage.

For instance, Xie Daoyun's Ice Attribute.

Chen Daotian, though only a martial artist, had already possessed the attribute of metal.

Metal restrains wood, wood restrains earth, earth restrains water, water restrains fire, and fire restrains metal.

...

Watching Fang Yu close in step by step, Shangguan Linghui completely panicked.

"Don't come closer!"

Huge bursts of Inner Essence continued erupting. Unfortunately, no matter how she released her Gang Qi, it had no effect on Fang Yu.

Bang bang!

Snap!

Boom!

The Gang Qi shattered all the furniture inside the hall!

It was like an earthquake.

Fang Yu still kept advancing.

"Having your way for so many years… perhaps it is time for you to taste the pain of ordinary people."

The pain of ordinary people?

"I won't kill you, but, as a punishment, I decide to destroy your cultivation..."

Without allowing her to resist, Fang Yu raised one hand—

"Daluo Hand!"
