Everyone turned their gaze in unison.

Ye Huangquan's heart skipped a beat and he said in a deep voice, "Jiangzhou Iron Fist King! Fang Yu!?"

Members of the Luli Sect came forth one after another, showing expressions of joy.

He's back!

The senior has returned!

Shangguan Hong stepped forward and bowed, "I pay my respects to the senior!"

Fang Yu, stepping on the stairs, slowly approached and gave a slight nod to Shangguan Hong.

Behind him, Xu Huawen and Chen Daotian, both carrying a rudimentary wooden palanquin, with Xu Sisi standing calmly upon it.

Both were gasping for air.

"Damn it, which bastard drained the spiritual energy away? When I see him, I'll surely beat him up!"

"Brother Daotian, give him a few extra punches for me later; this is intolerable. Without the Inner Essence to strengthen us, it's truly exhausting!"

The two appeared as if they were just ordinary people carrying a palanquin, taking each step with effort.

Fang Yu walked ahead.

The disciples of Hongmen, however, fled to the sides in fear, clearing a path.

Before long.

They arrived in front of the main hall.

All disciples of the Luli Sect bowed at the same time, "Senior!"

Seeing this array.

Ye Huangquan was utterly perplexed. There were plenty of highly experienced individuals within the Luli Sect. Take the seven saintly sons of Luli, for instance; their status was comparable to Shangguan Hong. It made no sense for them to bow and pay respects to Fang Yu and even to call him 'senior' – it was utterly baffling.

Xi Zhongwen, the Array Master, slightly frowned, one hand behind his back, the other stroking his beard, scrutinizing Fang Yu carefully.

Chen Daotian and Xu Huawen set Xu Sisi down.

Both immediately collapsed sitting down, drenched in sweat.

Ye Huangquan coldly said:

"Now that everyone's finally here... good. Iron Fist King, I must admit I underestimated you, not expecting you to have the guts to come back."

Fang Yu said with a smile:

"Of course, I had to come back. I knew you'd return, and the timing is just right."

Upon hearing this.

Xi Zhongwen couldn't help but be momentarily stunned.

Ye Huangquan, unconcerned, spoke, "Don't you realize that the spirit qi of Luli Mountain has already vanished? Without Inner Essence, what will you use to fight me?"

Fang Yu replied with disdain:

"Are you talking about this True Vacuum Array?"

Before Ye Huangquan could respond, Xi Zhongwen interjected with slight surprise, "You actually know about this array?"

Fang Yu's gaze fell upon Xi Zhongwen.

From his stance, aura, and the way Ye Huangquan treated him, Fang Yu deduced his identity and said:

"You must be the one who inscribed this array, correct?"

"It was I," responded Xi Zhongwen with a calm expression.

"To inscribe such a trash array must have been difficult for you," Fang Yu commented.

Hearing this.

A flash of indignation crossed Xi Zhongwen's face. Formation was his specialty and pride, yet to have it called 'trash' by a youngster was unbearable.

"Young man! Conceited and arrogant, it's understandable if you haven't seen much of the world. You're now within this array, without spiritual energy to replenish your Inner Essence, you are nothing but a cripple. Any ordinary member of Hongmen can kill you."

"Such an array, vast in range, taking a long time to inscribe, and consuming a great deal to maintain. It is an upper class array, that even a thousand troops would have to go around. And yet you call it trash?"

Fang Yu smiled and said with hands behind his back:

"That's because, you are a frog in a well..."

Suddenly—

Fang Yu lifted his hand.

An immense Primordial Burst erupted.

"Great Star Array Hand! Third Layer!"

Ye Huangquan's face changed dramatically, he hastily raised his sword, but alas—

Bang!

He was sent flying.

The sword in his hand, dropping towards the sky.

Fang Yu flashed and caught the Yellow Springs Sword between his index and middle fingers.

The whole place fell into silence.

The first thought that crossed Xi Zhongwen's mind was to retreat, to hurry and retreat.

"Impossible! How can you still have so much Inner Essence?" Xi Zhongwen's face was full of shock.

Ye Huangquan, enduring the stabbing pain, looked at Fang Yu with shock and horror.

Fang Yu smiled faintly, his fingers twitched.

Bang!

The Yellow Springs Sword was effortlessly snapped by Fang Yu!

Ye Huangquan's eyes were bloodshot, the man and his sword were one; breaking his sword was like cutting off his head. As the broken sword fell, the broken blade felt as though it pierced his heart, an agonizing feeling!

Fang Yu said indifferently, "So, when I said your formation was trash, you didn't agree?"

Xi Zhongwen said:

"Impossible! Are you imitating Shangguan Hong, sealing your meridians and reopening them when you use them? Unfortunately, that won't help you at all! I want to see how long you can last in this so-called trash Array!"

Chen Daotian had almost recovered and cursed:

"Go to hell, the Array was set up by you, rubbish, and you still have the nerve to brag? My brother Yu said that to break your Array, he only needs to lift a finger!"

Upon hearing this.

Xi Zhongwen gnashed his teeth, "Just lift a finger? Ignorance!"

Fang Yu said seriously:

"Don't be unconvinced. Although my brother is a bit silly, what he said is quite right. To break your Array, I really only need to lift a finger!"

Xi Zhongwen snorted coldly:

"Good! Such arrogance, show me how you'll break it!"

Fang Yu said with a faint smile:

"You've chosen the Luli Sect main hall as one of the Array Eyes, not bad, it allows the Array to extend all around. The remaining three Array Eyes, you chose the nearby river water, trees, and the last one is yourself. Tsk tsk tsk..."

Xi Zhongwen's face showed shock and his body trembled as he said, "You understand Arrays!"

"Did I ever say I didn't?"

Fang Yu continued, "You should realize that your choice of Array Eyes is the most basic! A true Array Master would never be so foolish. I just need to kill you, and the Array Eye will break on its own…"

Xi Zhongwen kept retreating, backing to the edge of the steps.

"Protect the Master!" Ye Huangquan shouted.

Those thirty-odd Mystic Rank Cultivators formed a solid barrier in front of Xi Zhongwen.

"What are you afraid of? If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it already…"

Fang Yu said disdainfully, "Choosing these places for Array Eyes, breaking them is simple. Once the Array Eyes are destroyed, what else do you have?"

Xi Zhongwen sneered:

"The key is, you can't get out. The Array Eyes are far away, how do you intend to break them?"

"So... that's why I need to lift a finger."

Fang Yu took out a miniature sensor from his bosom, "Idiot, do you recognize this?"

Xi Zhongwen took a closer look and realized he didn't recognize it at all.

Fang Yu said:

"This is a modern weapon, a kind of remote-controlled bomb... Sorry, I buried a bomb under one of the Array Eyes!"

This was the bomb that Chen Daotian had prepared on short notice after Tian Fangyu had surveyed the nearby terrain and environment.

"No! No..." Xi Zhongwen began to panic, "It's fake, it must be fake."

"With your strength as an Eighth Grade Array Master, it would take at least three months to engrave this Formation, and the Array Eyes would need ten days, so I knew long ago you would come and set up the Array, and I had already dug the pits waiting for you to jump in…"

Xi Zhongwen's mind went blank!

Ye Huangquan also couldn't help feeling a huge jolt.

How...

How could this be possible?

They had planned for so long, yet it was all within Fang Yu's calculations!

It's fake, it's definitely fake.

Just a bluff!

Ye Huangquan, unable to accept it, stood up.

"Trying to fool me? You killed my eight generals and broke my sword; if I don't kill you today, I, Ye Huangquan, will not rest in death!"

With that, his eyes blood-red, he yelled, "Berserk!"
