Demon Island?

Ning Lu had never heard of such a place.

However, the Fang Family disciples were very familiar with it, especially the Dark Web brothers. After dragging her away, the large courtyard became much quieter.

Cough, cough.

Fang Yu coughed twice.

"Wife, my chest hurts a bit!"

Ye Wenjun said lightly, "This is what you asked for yourself... Now you're blaming me?"

"Uh... when we discussed it, you didn't say you'd use such a heavy hand!?" Fang Yu said very innocently.

"Acting is acting. If it's not realistic, will others believe it?" Ye Wenjun shook her head, her face calm, and walked quickly inside.

Everyone looked awkward.

Puzzled and confused.

More like dumbfounded.

After a long time, Fang Ju went up and punched him in the chest, saying, "Well, you rascal, I thought you really had something with that woman of yours, turns out you two were acting?"

Everyone suddenly understood.

Xu Sisi showed a smile, all the previous doubts now completely resolved.

"Mr. Fang is truly wise, you had it all planned out long ago."

Fang Yu chuckled and said, "Shouldn't we both get an Oscar??"

"Oscar?"

"You wouldn't understand if I explained! It's getting late today, I have to go out early tomorrow. Gather all the core members of the Fang Family, I have a few matters to instruct."

"Yes!"

...

As night fell.

The stars hung upside down.

Fang Yu held a meeting with the core members of the Fang Family.

The purpose was very clear, which was to have all the important core members move into the Divine Hall at Tiandu Mountain.

There is a hundred-level restriction outside the Divine Hall, and no one has been able to easily break it so far. Even if one wants to break it, it requires very strong comprehension and heart realm.

As for the Fang Family, with the important people evacuated, the opponents had no target. Other disciples and servants were given holidays to return home.

Fang Yu only needed about a week.

In about a week, as long as he could hold out for a week's time, Fang Yu would be able to cultivate for seventy years through the Secret Realm again!

In those seventy years, using the Mysterious Spirit Energy, Fang Yu was confident in achieving another breakthrough!

By then, he would have the strength to fight against the True Phoenix Clan.

...

Early the next morning.

Fang Yu led the Fang Family, departing from Jiangzhou, heading towards Tiandu Mountain.

...

Meanwhile.

Kunlun Mountain, Kunlun Sect.

In the grand hall.

"Has there been any response today from Ye Cheng the protector, who left for Jiangzhou and has been out of contact for quite some time?" asked an older protector.

"Reporting, sir... Protector Ye Cheng seems to have lost contact. I used the so-called phone provided by Li Daochang to call him, but there was no reply. I suspect Protector Ye Cheng is in trouble."

The grand hall was exceptionally quiet.

Ye Xie, who sat on the Dragon Chair, remained silent.

After a moment of silence, he finally spoke:

"If my guess is correct, Ye Cheng should be in trouble."

The hall erupted in an uproar.

"How is this possible?! True Lord, Ye Cheng is a cultivator at the Heavenly Mechanism Level, having cultivated in the Secret Realm for eight thousand years to achieve his current formidable cultivation. In this world, there shouldn't be anyone who can defeat Ye Cheng, right?" someone exclaimed in astonishment.

In response,

Ye Xie glanced at the person with cloudy eyes, saying, "Arrogant... In Huaxia, there's an old saying: 'There are skies beyond skies, and people beyond people.' Perhaps that youngster has been pretending to be weak, intentionally hiding his strength, wanting us to die one by one."

"True Lord's reprimand is correct."

At this time.

A protector said, "Has the scout who was sent to investigate returned?"

"Reporting to Protector Lord, I don't think he can return, but I had him report the situation via phone."

"Very good, contact him now!"

"Yes!"

It had to be said.

The people of the True Phoenix Clan have a strong ability to accept new things. Even if their thinking is very traditional, they are still captivated by these high-tech products once they understood modern civilization. They have even started a learning craze in just a few days.

Mastering the basic usage of a phone wasn't difficult.

Soon, the call went through.

As soon as the call connected, a live video feed came through—

"Subordinate pays respect to True Lord."

The protector waved a hand, saying, "Get straight to the point."

"Yes!"

The man stood up and said, "True Lord, protectors... I discovered the bodies of Lord Ye Cheng and his two companions in the woods in the suburbs of Jiangzhou. Upon inspection, I suspect they were all killed by having their necks twisted in one move!"

"What!!!?" The entire hall was in an uproar!

"Although there were traces of battle on their bodies, I am certain that the fatal injury was the strangulation mark on their necks from Gang Qi! Based on the traces left on the ground, Ye Cheng and his two companions ran from near the Fang Family all the way to this spot where they were killed in one strike. There are no battle traces near the Fang Family!" the man reported truthfully.

"Continue!" Ye Xie frowned.

"Moreover, I made another important discovery... The other two members of Ye Cheng's team were buried in the east of the city by members of the Fang Family! The manner of death was the same as Ye Cheng and the others!"

The entire hall fell silent!

The silence was so complete you could hear a pin drop.

All were killed in one stroke!

This indicated that the opponent's strength was extremely formidable.

For a time, the entire hall fell silent, no one speaking.

After a long while.

One of the protectors said, "Continue your investigation!"

"Yes!"

The call was disconnected.

The protector turned to face Ye Xie, saying, "I believe that anyone capable of killing five Heavenly Mechanism Realm individuals in one move must be at or above the Infinite Level. In the current world, it's absolutely impossible to reach the Infinite Level... So..."

Ye Xie squinted his eyes and said, "You suspect there are other powerful individuals from secret realms emerging?"

"Exactly!"

Everyone exchanged glances.

Ye Xie finally showed a grave expression, saying, "Unfortunately, the Holy Daughter has not yet come around..."

At this moment, the eight people standing before the Dragon Chair in the hall bowed in unison and said:

"True Lord, we are willing to go bring the Holy Daughter back!"

These were the eight protectors of the True Phoenix Clan!

Ye Xie couldn't help but be taken aback, his gaze sweeping over the eight individuals, saying, "You are the backbone of our True Phoenix Clan, and one of the few Star Level experts. We haven't been back for long, it wouldn't be wise to strain ourselves. As for the Holy Daughter's matter, don't act too hastily... For now, with the significant revival of Spiritual Energy, you should first refine and absorb the treasures obtained from the secret realm. If there truly is an Infinite Level expert secretly aiding Fang Yu, even if you went, you wouldn't easily prevail!"

The words were reasonable.

The higher the level of strength, the greater the gap typically becomes.

At the Star and Infinite Levels, the impact of numbers is often minimal.

"Yes!"

The eight said in unison, cupping their hands.

Ye Xie continued, "Send a notification, focus on reconnaissance and tracking on Fang Yu's side. For now, start by searching the secret realm... it's imperative to locate the members of the True Dragon Clan as soon as possible. If the True Dragon Clan helps, things will be much easier."

"Yes!"
