They thought they must have misheard.

Saint rank is a level they could only see in ancient texts.

It's rumored to be a grade above Heavenly Rank.

But...

Almost no one has ever seen it.

Azure Dragon Li Wenyuan looked at Jiang Shanshui with a complex gaze, coughed, and said: "Old gentleman, you... you aren't joking, are you?"

When he heard someone suggesting he was joking.

Jiang Shanshui thought of his former self, he didn't believe it either. Seeing the expressions of the Four Saint Generals, he couldn't help but laugh.

He sighed deeply, with his hands behind his back he said:

"Ah... Like you, I didn't believe that such a person could exist in the world. Not until I saw Mr. Fang craft Ninth-Grade Elixir Pills with my own eyes. Later, I learned from other Fang Family disciples that Mr. Fang is not only an Elixir Master but without a doubt a Saint Rank Doctor... What's even more astonishing is that I have personally witnessed Mr. Fang, during his alchemy, using a Fifth Layer Array to isolate the Dan Thunder and the natural phenomenon from heaven and earth!"

"A Fifth Layer Array! Array Master?" Azure Dragon Li Wenyuan exclaimed.

"Indeed... Mr. Fang is also a Grandmaster Level Array Master!"

Even if they themselves were not Array Masters, they understood that anyone capable of stacking more than five layers of Arrays must possess at least an Eighth Grade Array capability!

At this thought.

There was silence across the scene.

Everyone looked at the Elixir Pills in their palms and swallowed hard.

They were all pondering the same question — what kind of person is Fang Yu? They thought they had seen enough of his true capabilities in the battle at the ruins. But now it seems... they knew far too little about Fang Yu!

Perhaps, following such a prodigy, who shocked the heavens and moved spirits... would be an extremely correct decision!

"I now understand... why Lu Qinghong called Mr. Fang master that day... It turns out that Mr. Fang is a rare triple-talent combined in one!" Azure Dragon Li Wenyuan said in admiration.

"Not just that... remember our first encounter with Mr. Fang? He displayed Inner Essence of five different Attributes!"

"Indeed!"

"And I remember, Mr. Fang has a terrifying weapon!"

Everyone spontaneously recalled the sight of Fang Yu wielding his sword.

The blade flickered with a ghostly blue light, like a Death God emerging from Hell.

"Anyway, Mr. Fang has too many secrets..."

They nodded in agreement.

"Forget about talking, let's hurry up and heal our injuries. These Fifth-Grade Elixir Pills are not something you come by easily..."

"Mhm."

They each swallowed the Elixir Pills and sat cross-legged.

Even the weakest among them was a Xuantian Rank master, and though they suffered internal injuries, with the aid of the Elixir Pills, they recovered at a rapid pace, like fish in water.

...

Meanwhile.

Lu Qinghong was taken aback when she learned that Fang Yu had returned to the Fang Family with the four demons of Black Mountain.

Out of respect for Fang Yu, she said nothing and passed on the news of Gongsun Ao's death to Bai Ze Sect Master Tuoba Yong.

Upon hearing the news, Tuoba Yong exclaimed on the spot—

"What? Fang Yu killed Gongsun Ao?"

"Gongsun Ao is a top-notch fighter of the Supreme Heavenly Position... How could he have been killed by Fang Yu?"

No one could answer his doubts.

He didn't know the specifics of the battle either.

When Tuoba Yong learned that the Four Demons of Black Mountain had pledged allegiance to Fang Yu, he furrowed his brows even more, sitting in his chair without saying a word.

His personal guard was also extremely nervous.

"Sect Master, this kid is really out of line... You offered such generous conditions, yet he refused to submit and even killed Gongsun Ao. As everyone knows, the Black Mountain Sect is a subsidiary of Bai Ze. He's clearly challenging you!"

Tuoba Yong wrinkled his brows and raised his hand, saying:

"No… as far as I know, Gongsun Ao's son Gongsun Chu has been causing trouble everywhere, even harassing virtuous women, and ruined Xu Sisi, the pride of the Xu family. Xu Sisi is the future of the Xu family... If I'm not wrong, Fang Yu might be interested in Xu Sisi. Hence, he killed Gongsun Chu… and that Gongsun Chu indeed deserved death. But… Gongsun Ao only had this one son, so he couldn't just let it go. Even though the Four Demons of Black Mountain were Gongsun Ao's subordinates, they are also people who can discern right from wrong."

"But after all, he killed Gongsun Ao, and without the Black Mountain, what will the other sects think? The Five Great Divine Palaces have also sent messages, asking us to keep them in check!" said the personal guard.

"These sects have such dark minds... they're eager for me to be enemies with Fang Yu. I'm not falling for their tricks... Although I've only met Fang Yu once, I feel that he's not that kind of villain. He's also not someone who would yield to others. Both the Xuantian General and Tuoba Xue'er, as well as Doctor Jiang have good relationships with him. So... this person can only be a friend, not an enemy."

"So, we're not taking revenge for Gongsun Ao?"

"He deserved to die."

After pondering for a long time, Tuoba Yong indeed made his judgment, huffed coldly, and stood up, "The other seventy-one major sects have probably found out that Fang Yu is a Saint Rank Doctor by now... According to their usual practice, they'll definitely try to win him over. Let's just sit back and enjoy the show!"

Upon hearing this,

The personal guard's eyes lit up, saying: "Sect Master, you are truly wise!"

As the Sect Master of Bai Ze, it wasn't just luck or strength that got Tuoba Yong to where he is today.

His strategic ability, as well as his judgment of the situation, are both exceptional.

"We must not only avoid being enemies with Fang Yu, but we also need to maintain this relationship… After all, it's been a long time since a Saint Rank Doctor has appeared. I believe the Five Great Divine Palaces are still in the dark about the matter of the Saint Rank... but whether revealing it too early is good or bad, I'm not sure."

"Inside the Dark Forest, every cultivator is a hunter walking in the darkness. When encountering another target... it is the safest action to strike first and kill the other party if it's impossible to determine whether they are friend or foe. Sigh... I hope he can go further."

Tuoba Yong's move was undeniably clever.

Even if Fang Yu and the Five Great Divine Palaces have a falling out, he could easily pull himself out and clear any association.

After all, there has been no relationship between them so far. On the contrary, Fang Yu's destruction of the Black Mountain Sect, to some extent, should have had some conflict with Bai Ze. At least on the surface, it seems so.

...

On the other side.

To avoid the Four Saint Generals becoming bored, Fang Yu called over Chen Daotian and Xu Huawen.

As soon as Chen Daotian arrived, he exclaimed, "Brother Yu... I was at a critical point of my breakthrough... Calling me here has delayed my cultivation!"

"I called you here to teach the Four Saint Generals and the Thirty-six Xuantian how to use mobile phones!"

"Teaching how to use mobile phones?" Chen Daotian scratched his head.

When Xu Huawen heard about this task, he grinned and said: "Bro, I'm good at this, I'll do it!"

Chen Daotian muttered: "Brother Yu, you don't take me seriously, asking me to do this... Who am I? Besides sister-in-law and you, no one should order me around!"

"Stop the nonsense! Their lowest strength is of the Xuantian Rank... Are you really going to refuse?"

Chen Daotian shivered all over, his eyes rolling around and said: "Nah, I'll do it! I'm just worried that you'll be reluctant to buy mobile phones for so many people!"

Right after he spoke,

Ye Wenjun above on the second floor said softly, "Mobile phones, my Ye Family will cover the cost..."

"Sister-in-law is so generous!"
