Everyone couldn't help but be startled and looked up.

The newcomer was none other than Lin Weifeng, the prodigy of the Luli Sect.

Holding his long sword, Lin Weifeng slowly descended and came before Fang Yu, bowing respectfully: "Senior, I too wish to join you in sweeping away our foes!"

Before Fang Yu could speak.

Chen Daotian said: "Brother Lin, you are quite the interesting one. The Luli Sect is counting on you to take over. If you leave, who will inherit?"

Lin Weifeng's face remained calm as he replied:

"I am wholeheartedly devoted to the path of cultivation; I have never thought of becoming the Sect Master of the Luli Sect."

"Heh, turns out to be a martial fanatic. Yu bro, what do you think?" Chen Daotian asked.

Fang Yu looked at Lin Weifeng and said:

"Your talent is commendable... To be honest, the Dark Web is indeed in need of people. Although the Luli Sect and the Xus from the Northern Desert listen to my command, in the end, they must have their own plans... However, the path ahead is vast and unknown, with endless dangers. Have you really thought this through? And, have Shangguan Hong and the Seven Saint Heirs agreed?"

Upon hearing this.

Lin Weifeng spoke with a serious and solemn tone:

"The Saint Heir mentor knows of my earnest yearning for cultivation and encourages me to pursue the Great Dao... As for the mentor alone, but, I believe he will definitely understand... Senior, no matter what lies ahead, I have made up my mind, I hope for your blessing!"

With that.

He lowered his body, showing devout sincerity.

Xu Huawen from the Northern Desert scratched his head and said: "You must have the same resolution as me... for instance, not being afraid to die."

Lin Weifeng glanced at Xu Huawen, disdainfully saying: "I, Lin Weifeng, have been cultivating for more than twenty years, passing through Ghost Gate countless times—what is there to fear in death?!"

Xu Huawen was taken aback, baring his teeth as he said: "This is what I like about you! Bro, you've got the guts!"

Saying this, he stepped forward and slung his arm around Lin Weifeng's shoulder.

Lin Weifeng was somewhat uncomfortable, wanting to evade.

"Bro, don't be so formal. We're all men here, I'm not going to take advantage of you! Come on, smile."

"..."

Watching them chat without any inhibitions.

Fang Yu said:

"Alright, since you've thought it through, let's set off. But let me make it clear... No matter what the future holds, the path you choose must be completed, even if you have to crawl!"

"Understood!"

The group left the Ye Family villa with great momentum.

Watching their retreating figures.

Ye Xingkong was lost in thought.

He could not help but sigh, perhaps thinking of past battles and struggles.

"This world ultimately belongs to them!"

Behind him, Zhong Long also expressed his sentiments: "The new waves of the Yangtze River push on the old waves; a new generation replaces the old. It has always been this way since ancient times."

Ye Xingkong nodded, as if reminded of something, and said: "Old Zhong, let's go visit the old master today."

"Hmm, I want to talk to the old master too."

...

...

Yanjing, the Dark Web branch.

It was not a luxury skyscraper.

But rather a compound resembling a large industrial factory.

In the middle of the compound, there was a five-story office area.

Only insiders knew that inside were no conventional offices or desks, but training halls, gymnasiums, and other recreational facilities.

At sunset.

Fang Yu and his group arrived at the branch.

The brothers at the branch had already prepared and were waiting inside the compound.

Seeing car after car pull up.

Everyone's breathing became tense.

"At last, we can see the true face of the boss!"

"Pfft, I've seen him three times already and even took a photo with him."

"Keep dreaming! Would the boss take a photo with someone like you?"

"It's true, it was at the hospital; I was delivering Fire Ganoderma to Hall Master Chen, and there he was, standing so cool next to Hall Master Chen, truly handsome!"

"..."

Everyone struggled to suppress their urge to vomit.

"Quiet down, everyone!"

At that moment.

Led by Fang Yu, Ye Wenjun, Chen Daotian, and others, entered the compound.

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

Everyone was exhilarated, their gazes blazing as they looked at Fang Yu.

Only a small group of newbies were a bit confused, yet they were not the least bit afraid.

Fang Yu looked around and said, "After the battle at the headquarters, our numbers have dwindled considerably."

"Yes... But those who remain are the elite! Brother Yu, rest assured, I handpicked these people myself! They are all my confidants!"

Chen Daotian declared sternly, "Everyone, come here."

Swish, swish, swish.

The crowd approached.

"Call him Brother Yu!"

In unison, everyone called out, "Brother Yu!"

"And, call her Sister-in-law!" Chen Daotian placed his hand in front of Ye Wenjun.

The crowd was taken aback.

They didn't expect this woman, with the looks of a celestial being, to be the significant other of the big shot.

Everyone became extremely respectful, filled only with reverence.

"Sister-in-law!"

Ye Wenjun shyly bowed her head.

Fang Yu knew that Ye Wenjun was not thick-skinned enough to deal with such situations, thus he said loudly, "Get back to work, everyone, don't slack off!"

"Yes!"

...

The sun was setting in the west.

Fang Yu and his group lingered in the training center, waiting.

He wondered who exactly was it that dared to make a move on the Dark Web.

Ye Wenjun stood silently by his side, not saying a word.

After a long silence, she finally asked, "You became the leader of the Dark Web?"

Fang Yu replied with a smile, "Everyone unanimously elected me, I had no choice."

"Has the Dark Web encountered some trouble?" asked Ye Wenjun.

Seeing her insistence on getting to the bottom of it, Fang Yu recounted the whole sequence of events to her.

Upon hearing this, Ye Wenjun realized the severity of the issue.

And she understood why Fang Yu had come personally.

The enemy, it seemed, was deliberately targeting him.

At this moment, Lin Weifeng walked over.

"Senior, before rushing to Yanjing, I heard some rumors from a friend."

Fang Yu was slightly taken aback and replied, "Go on."

"My friend warned Luli Sect to stay out of trouble because, apparently, the Black Mountain Sect is secretly investigating Hongmen... Therefore, I suspect this incident is related to the Black Mountain Sect," Lin Weifeng said.

"If it's just the Black Mountain Sect, things might be easier... Don't forget, sitting above the Black Mountain Sect is Bai Ze Mountain, one of the Seventy-two Sects, under the jurisdiction of the Five Great Divine Palaces, and managed by the Empress. The Black Mountain Sect wouldn't dare act rashly," Fang Yu remarked coolly.

Lin Weifeng shivered at the thought of Fang Yu's true identity.

"My friend also revealed another piece of information, claiming that the Young Master of the Black Mountain Sect, Gongsun Chu, seems to have arrived in Yanjing. This person is narrow-minded. Even if the attack on the Dark Web was not carried out by the Black Mountain Sect, it's likely to have been instigated by him."

Fang Yu nodded.

"No matter who it is, we'll know by tonight."

No sooner had he finished speaking.

Voices came from outside the training center.

"Report. They've broken in!"

Fang Yu was startled.

Who could it be that was so audacious... to blatantly disrespect the Dark Web, to attack just like that?

"Let them in!"

...

Inside the training center.

All the brothers of the Dark Web were assembled.

Their purpose today was to wait here for the forces that attacked the Dark Web.

Who could it be?

Leading the group, Fang Yu and the rest stood in neat rows behind him, their gazes fixed on the entrance.

A voice carried in—

"Any resistance from members of the Dark Web shall be met with death; those who surrender will not be killed. Until the day the Iron Fist King falls, we will not cease the siege on the Dark Web!"

The crowd surged in.

Fang Yu set his eyes on the newcomers.

As he saw clearly who it was, his eyes widened in shock—

"Ji Qiubai?!!!"
