The five members of the Law Enforcement Team, having escaped the range of Li Xuan's intimidating pressure, stopped with lingering fear in their hearts.

They converged at the crossroads, looking back with tense faces.

The five of them were silent for a while, catching their breath, and slowly calmed down.

"The boss, that person has profound strength, just one move of the Mystic Sky Palm Double Layer Skill, and such power!"

"Sigh. I didn't expect Bai Ze to intervene in this matter! This complicates things."

"What should we do now then? The Demon Lord ordered us to bring the Jiangzhou Iron Fist King back! If we fail to complete the mission..."

"Let's not worry about that for now… Bai Ze made a move, even if the Demon Lord himself came, it wouldn't make a difference, we need to go back and report first."

"Mm!"

The five of them no longer cared about their lodging and rushed back to the Black Mountain Sect overnight.

After the Law Enforcement Team reported the incident to the main Law Enforcement Team, it also quickly reached the ears of the Demon Lord of the Black Mountain Sect.

When Demon Lord Gongsun Ao heard that Bai Ze had taken action, he flew into a thunderous rage and immediately summoned the Law Enforcement Team that had descended the mountain for the mission.

The five of them were confused, not knowing why the Demon Lord wanted to summon them, and with an uneasy heart, they went to the Demon Lord's grand hall in Black Mountain.

...

Inside the Demon Lord's grand hall.

Gongsun Ao, with a stern face, his gaze sharp as a falcon's, watched the entrance of the grand hall.

Soon after.

The five members of the Law Enforcement Team walked in slowly, extremely respectful and slightly panicky.

"Greetings, Demon Lord!"

All five prostrated themselves on the ground at the same time.

Gongsun Ao glanced over them coldly and berated:

"Do you know your crimes?"

This scolding made the five of them startled.

But as subordinates, even if they were not at fault, they had to admit they were.

The leader said, "We admit our mistake. We went to Jiangzhou and failed to bring back the Iron Fist King. We are willing to accept punishment!"

Seemingly seeing their reluctance.

Demon Lord Gongsun Ao stood with his hands behind his back, speaking coldly, "Imbeciles! I ordered you to bring back the Jiangzhou Iron Fist King, yet you return empty-handed. Are you treating my orders as nothing but wind past your ears?"

"We dare not!"

"We dare not!"

"We dare not!"

The five of them kowtowed to admit their mistake, shivering all over.

"Not dare? Are my orders more important, or are Bai Ze's?"

This time, they dared not even speak.

By mentioning Bai Ze, the Demon Lord revealed that he was already aware of the situation.

Gongsun Ao, breaking out in a cold sweat, asked:

"In Jiangzhou, you encountered someone from Bai Ze's lineage, did you see any token of proof?"

Token?

The five were all taken aback.

"Replying to the Demon Lord, the other party used the Mystic Sky Palm Double Layer Skill, and their cultivation was far above ours. In the North Mountain region, perhaps only a high-level expert of Bai Ze would possess such skill," the leader said.

As soon as these words were uttered.

Demon Lord Gongsun Ao suddenly shouted:

"Foolish!"

These two words, earnest and striking, scared the five of them into prostration once more, not daring to move an inch.

"We admit our mistake!"

Seeing their good attitude, and considering the strength of the opponent, Gongsun Ao said:

"The one who stopped your mission is Bai Ze's guard from Red Peak Mountain, right?"

"Yes."

"Do you have his token as proof?"

Hearing this.

The five of them's complexions changed drastically.

They suddenly realized.

Recalling that when Li Xuan warned them earlier, he didn't show any token, and they were even more startled. They knew that any guard or expert of Bai Ze would carry a token.

How could such a high-level expert lack proof of their identity?

In an instant, the five of them were sweating profusely.

"Worthless! All are worthless!" bellowed Demon Lord Gongsun Ao with hands behind his back, "I command you, to immediately rush to Jiangzhou and capture the Iron Fist King! Dead or alive, bring him to me!"

"Yes! We will go immediately!"

"If you fail again, do not bother returning!"

The meaning of these words was very clear.

Mission failure also meant it was time for them to die!

The five of them trembled all over.

But still, they said:

"Yes!"

After the five left the great hall,

Gongsun Ao's eyes shone like lightning as he paced back and forth, declaring in the direction directly in front of him: "Those who have left Bai Ze dare to speak on behalf of Bai Ze, truly audacious beyond measure! Summon someone!"

"Your subordinate is here." A guard stepped forward from the side.

"Send someone to Bai Ze to inform Red Peak Mountain of this matter."

"Yes!"

After saying this,

Gongsun Ao's aura condensed and he muttered to himself: "No matter who it is, whoever killed my son, I will make them pay with blood for blood!"

...

Jiangzhou, Fang Family.

The rejuvenated Fang Family was bustling with life.

Only after Fang Ju safely returned did he truly understand that his disciple had changed beyond recognition.

For this reason, he now spent his days bursting with pride. Whenever he met someone, he would boast about how he educated Fang Yu back in the days.

Revitalizing the Fang Family had always been Fang Ju's wish.

Naturally familiar with the routine, Fang Ju quickly hired some servants. The remaining security, such as bodyguards, was taken care of by people from Luli Sect and the Northern Desert's Xu Family, so their safety was well-secured.

Later on,

the Ye Family from Yanjing even brought a caravan to Jiangzhou and entered the Fang residence in a grand manner, celebrating extensively.

The two families formally became allied once again.

Luckily, after several days of busyness, Fang Yu finally had a chance to rest.

He knew he could not stop cultivating, especially after discovering the characteristics of the Divine Dragon Technique Ninth Layer, he began seeking a breakthrough in medical skill.

Unfortunately, there were no patients around in need of treatment, which was quite embarrassing.

After some consideration, Fang Yu thought of a good method—setting up a clinic.

In other words, entering the path through medicine was his most optimal way of cultivation.

Early one morning,

Fang Yu was preparing to leave when Chen Daotian greeted him, asking:

"Brother Yu, where are you off to again?"

Fang Yu just smiled and didn't respond.

Chen Daotian said discontentedly: "Brother Yu, your cultivation has progressed so quickly, everyone is quite envious, isn't that a bit concerning?"

He didn't know what Fang Yu was up to, but he felt that Fang Yu was very adept at finding ways to improve his cultivation. Little did he know that Fang Yu could now increase his cultivation through medical treatment?

"Being envious can't be helped... These days, it's not just about talent... It mainly depends on temperament. With your kind of temperament, I'm afraid there's no chance of catching up to me," Fang Yu said with a laugh.

"Isn't it bad to discourage people like that?" Chen Daotian rolled his eyes.

"Alright, I'm not going to waste words with you, I've got things to take care of. Don't be anxious, I've already started refining elixir pills. With the aid of the pills, your improvement will be rapid as well."

"Really?"

"Of course, it's true. Look into my eyes—don't they radiate sincere and earnest intentions?" Fang Yu said.

"Eh, I only see crap in there."

"Scram!"

Fang Yu kicked him away and left the Fang residence.

In a short while, he took a carriage to Ancient Life Hall.

Upon his arrival at Ancient Life Hall, the disciples were terrified, tumbling and scrambling to inform their master, Song Gusheng.

Song Gusheng was also quite surprised and came out personally to greet Fang Yu.

Outside the hall,

Song Gusheng didn't expect Fang Yu to suddenly visit, his face full of surprise.

Seeing Fang Yu standing proudly in front of Ancient Life Hall,

Song Gusheng hurriedly greeted him with respect, bowing and saying:

"Mr. Fang's sudden visit to Ancient Life Hall truly graces us... If there's anything you need, just give the command."

Hearing this,

Fang Yu nodded in satisfaction and said:

"I'm fairly free these days, so I'm coming to your clinic to consult patients and see a few cases. No problems, right?"

"Ah?"

Song Gusheng was completely flabbergasted.

A Saint Rank Doctor coming to his clinic to hold consultations?

Despite his notable status, he was dumbfounded for a moment.
