Under the guidance of Xu Xiaomeng.

Fang Yu and Chen Daotian arrived at the tallest and most spacious courtyard within the Xu Clan.

Above the highest building, there hung a flag inscribed with an image of a dragon. The Xu Clan was subordinate to the Nine Provinces of Huaxia, and their totem was consistent with the entire Huaxia.

As soon as they entered the courtyard.

They heard a scolding voice coming from the hall—

"Xu Huawen, you're audacious and reckless! Who gave you the courage to leave the tribe and seek revenge from Hongmen?" a burly voice cursed.

"Today, in front of the Clan Leader, you must be severely punished. Your second uncle went to find you and got injured, and as your great uncle, if I don't exemplify righteousness by severing kinship, how am I to manage the tribe in the future!"

"Those two little brats outside will be taken care of by someone! Crashing into the tribe and speaking rudely. You can't even protect yourself now, and you still plead for them?"

At this moment, a clear and crisp voice rang out—

"Great uncle, my brother is young and ignorant, for my sake, could you possibly..."

"Sister, don't beg them!"

Xu Xiaomeng, standing outside, scratched her head awkwardly and turned back to say: "Sorry you had to see this, let's go in together!"

The three of them walked in.

Inside the hall.

The Clan Leader of the Xu Clan, was seated in the place of honor.

The Great Elder, Xu Daoyou, who was also Xu Huawen's great uncle, was scolding Xu Huawen who knelt on the ground.

To the left, in a wheelchair, sat a beautiful girl dressed in blue, her face filled with worry as she looked at Xu Huawen.

When the three of them entered.

Xu Daoyou hesitated.

Everyone else was also stunned.

After a brief silence, Xu Daoyou barked: "Xu Xiaomeng, what is going on? Who allowed you to bring them here?"

Xu Xiaomeng bowed and said: "Responding to the Great Elder, I thought Brother Fang Yu was amicable and reason, not like an unreasonable bad person. He wanted to see the Clan Leader, so I brought him over!"

"You reckless fool! Is the Clan Leader someone you can just meet whenever you want?" Xu Daoyou cursed.

The sitting Clan Leader, dignified and imposing, was advanced in years.

He slightly raised his hand and said: "Enough."

The entire place quieted down.

With that one word from the Clan Leader, no one else dared to speak.

Following that, his gaze settled on Fang Yu—

"Are you the expert that Xu Huawen mentioned?"

Fang Yu replied with a smile: "I am!"

Xu Huawen, along with the pretty girl beside him, both turned their attention to Fang Yu.

With a grand presence and extraordinary bearing,

he didn't look like a country bumpkin at all.

"What do you want from me?" the Clan Leader's gaze was stern, and he spoke in a steady tone.

Fang Yu stepped forward.

He walked up to Xu Huawen and said nonchalantly: "Didn't your Second Elder inform you?"

"Hmm?" the Clan Leader wore a puzzled expression.

Xu Huawen interjected again: "Clan Leader, I've said it, Brother Yu is here to help us annihilate Hongmen... Now all eight generals of Hongmen are dead! Ye Huangquan has been heavily injured! This is the perfect opportunity for us to reclaim our territory!"

Hearing this,

The Clan Leader was shocked.

The Great Elder Xu Daoyou chided: "Nonsense, the strength of the Hongmen generals is immense, they can't just die because you say so. Do you think the Xu Clan is some kind of playground? Continue this babble, and I will have someone cut out your tongue!"

Xu Huawen raised his finger and insisted: "What I say is the absolute truth! I swear to the heavens!"

Seeing his resolute tone.

The Clan Leader's expression became grave, and turning his gaze to Fang Yu, he said:

"Speak, what exactly do you intend to do?"

Fang Yu said calmly: "I hope the Xu Clan will replace Hongmen's position in the Northern Desert."

"Replace Hongmen?" the Clan Leader exclaimed.

For the Xu Clan, this was simply too far-fetched. Putting aside the truth of Fang Yu's words, the strength of Hongmen was comparable to that of the entire Xu Clan combined with the Luli Sect—none were a match for Hongmen, how could it be easy to replace them?

The Great Elder Xu Daoyou, with his hands behind his back, coldly snorted and said:

"Clan Leader, Huawen is young and hasn't been out before, so it's normal for him to be deceived. This brat is spouting nonsense. Merely arriving here has already breached our tribe's rules. Please allow me to exercise the power of the Great Elder to severely punish this person!"

However...

Xu Xiaomeng, who was standing with Fang Yu, was not pleased.

"Great Elder, a visitor should be treated as a guest, and rules are made by people! Brother Fang's cultivation is extremely high, maybe what he says is true?"

Xu Huawen burst into loud laughter, saying, "Xu Huawen claims he killed the eight generals of Hongmen. Do you know how powerful the eight generals of Hongmen are? If it's true, then present evidence! And if you can't..."

His gaze became extremely somber.

Chen Daotian helplessly said, "Brother Yu, fists will do the talking."

Fang Yu also shook his head and said:

"This, is the evidence…"

While talking.

He raised his palm.

Several streaks of Gang Qi appeared, condensing into a very small area.

Xu Huawen's facial expression drastically changed, clearly realizing that this palm was aimed at him.

He hastily put up his hands to block.

"Brother Yu, please be merciful!" Xu Huawen called out.

The Clan Leader, being worldly and knowledgeable, saw the layers upon layers of Gang Qi and blurted out, "An Ancient Battle Technique with multiple harmonies? Sixth Layer?"

Boom—

As that streak of Gang Qi struck, Xu Huawen had no power to resist and was sent flying, crashing into a pillar in the hall, snapping it with a crack, and then hitting the wall to create a human-shaped hole.

Everything quieted down.

Everyone was stunned.

Xu Xiaomeng was even more shocked. That palm had at least the power of a Great Heavenly Position. She couldn't help but feel relieved; clearly, Fang Yu hadn't been using his full strength in their one-on-one earlier, and was still guiding her on her inadequacies!

Even with the Great Elder's early Heavenly Rank power, he stood no chance at all!

Moreover.

Fang Yu's expression was very calm, at ease. That palm strike was as leisurely and effortlessly as if strolling in a courtyard!

"Great Heavenly Position?" The Clan Leader's face turned pale with shock.

He believed it.

To kill the eight generals of Hongmen, one would need to be at least at the Great Heavenly Position.

Ask yourself, would a Great Heavenly Position strongman come to your tribe for a laugh and boast? That would be utterly ridiculous!

Xu Huawen knelt on the ground, not caring at all about the Great Elder being sent flying; the annoyance he had with this uncle made him somewhat enjoy seeing him knocked away.

"Clan Leader, forgive my candor... Not to mention the Heavenly Rank, even those at the Great Heavenly Position might not be a match for Brother Yu!"

Upon these words.

The Clan Leader's face changed drastically again.

The beautiful girl beside him also slightly raised her lovely eyes, taking another glance at Fang Yu.

The entire hall was as silent as death.

Fang Yu slowly retracted his palm.

Standing with his hands behind his back, he spoke calmly, "Now, do you still think that Hongmen is a threat to me?"

Upon hearing this.

The Xu Clan Leader was taken aback and sighed, "Since you can fight on par with the Great Heavenly Position, eradicating Hongmen would only require you alone. Why then, seek out the Xu Clan?"

"No... Who said my target was just Hongmen?"

The Xu Clan Leader's expression paused, astonished, "Could it be..."

"You guessed right, my target is the Black Mountain Sect!"

Mention of the Black Mountain Sect.

Xu Xiaomeng froze, Xu Huawen froze, and his sister was trembling all over.

After a long silence, the Xu Clan Leader said gravely:

"Black Mountain Sect is no Hongmen. Not to mention that you possess Ancient Battle Techniques, even if you yourself are at the Great Heavenly Position, you wouldn't be a match for Black Mountain Sect!"

Fang Yu chuckled and merely responded:

"As far as I'm aware, Black Mountain Sect hasn't stopped inciting Hongmen to bully you all these years... The Young Master of Black Mountain Sect even intends to take Xu Huawen's sister as his wife. Don't blame me for pouring cold water on you... even if you humbly agree to this marriage alliance, would they truly respect you? The Young Master of Black Mountain Sect has multiple wives and concubines, each of which met untimely deaths! How many of the affiliated tribes of Black Mountain Sect have met a good end?"

His gaze darkened.

The girl beside Xu Huawen turned deathly pale.
