In no time at all.

The clan leaders of the Eight Bloodlines appeared in the courtyard, entering the hall from the entrance.

Fang Yu sat calmly on the sofa, gazing at them indifferently.

The mysterious expert had an arrogant expression, not bothering to look at them... In his eyes, these people were neither deserving of sympathy nor worthy of respect.

Eternal Flame, Chasing Frost, Brave Charge, Heavenly Vein, Jiuli, Ghost Path, True Dragon, True Phoenix.

A total of eight bloodline clan leaders, all present.

The others were not worthy of entering the courtyard; they all waited outside.

The eight clan leaders knelt down as soon as they entered the hall.

Thud, thud...

The eight of them knelt side by side, bowing low at the same time.

"We acknowledge our crimes and have come specially to ask for forgiveness. We beg Your Highness to pardon us!"

Fang Yu's gaze swept over them.

He couldn't help but find it amusing and said, "According to the rules of the Dragon Clan, you have indeed committed a grave crime, but... are you planning to share the blame together in this manner?"

At this moment.

The True Dragon Clan Leader, Huangfu Zhan, kowtowed and said, "Your Highness... I am aware of my deep sins, my failure to properly discipline my son who offended Your Highness... Furthermore, the True Dragon Clan made a grave mistake by even sending people to besiege Tiandu Mountain. This matter has nothing to do with the other clan leaders, and I am willing to bear all the responsibility without complaint... I only ask Your Highness to forgive us."

The Ghost Path Clan Leader said:

"Your Highness, my clan's two elders, in their eagerness to protect their friends, acted impulsively and offended Your Highness at the banquet together with the Jiuli Clan. I am willing to take the punishment for them!"

The True Phoenix Clan Leader, Ye Xie, said, "The True Phoenix Clan committed an unforgivable crime. I, Ye Xie, am aware of my deep sins as well, but I ask Your Highness to consider that my son is already dead and has received punishment, and spare my clan this once! The True Phoenix Clan has come this far... it has been really... incredibly difficult!" As he spoke, Ye Xie's eyes turned red...

Fang Yu merely glanced at him and said calmly:

"Ye Xie, you share the surname Ye, just as Ye Wenjun does. From this perspective, you are indeed of the same clan and bloodline. But... do you remember what Ye Wenjun said? She would rather sever ties with the True Phoenix Clan than be the Holy Daughter... So, if you hope to use this connection, I'm afraid it's impossible. Your son deserved his punishment and his death was not unjust. As for the True Phoenix Clan..."

His tone paused, frightening Ye Xie, who turned pale and trembled all over.

Ye Xie, being a Star Level cultivator, was not even at the Infinite Level, far inferior to the other leaders present.

If not for relying on the True Dragon Clan, the True Phoenix Clan could be said to be the weakest in overall strength.

Ye Xie knew he had to take responsibility, but he also needed forgiveness.

Fang Yu continued:

"As for the True Phoenix Clan... you should conduct yourself wisely."

Hearing this, Ye Xie seemed to receive great amnesty, gratefully saying, "Thank you, Your Highness... Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!" Repeatedly expressing his gratitude as he retreated.

Ye Xie was also very clear that his pardon did not guarantee forgiveness for the others, so the best course of action was to withdraw.

Immediately after.

Fang Yu's gaze fell on the remaining seven clan leaders.

Considering his identity as part of the Dragon Clan, although this was true, it was not entirely stable. The internal strife within the Dragon Clan forced Fang Yu to consider himself carefully.

As the mysterious expert had said, if he returned to the Dragon Clan now, he might even be killed.

Even if not killed, he might be kidnapped by internal forces like Cao Cao's tactic of holding the emperor to command the nobles.

Before that, it was not good to make too many enemies.

At least, no disputes should arise at Tiandu Mountain.

Moreover.

No one knew what kind of monsters might emerge from the Secret Realm.

With this thought.

Fang Yu calmly said, "I said at the banquet that I would not oppress you because of my status... Your realization of your mistakes is nothing more than because of my Dragon Clan identity. This is not good... I still maintain that now that the Secret Realm is rife, you have spent eight thousand years within it, and the dangers there, you know better than I do. Under such circumstances, our clans should coexist peacefully, even help each other..."

The clan leaders nodded.

Fang Yu continued:

"Moreover... before you returned to the current world, the Western Regions Alien Clan was already stirring, and Japan had previously mobilized a large number of puppets to try swallowing Huaxia. And yet, we are caught in internal conflicts... Don't you find it laughable?"

"Western Regions Alien Clan?" The clan leaders looked astonished.

The Heavenly Vein Clan Leader said softly:

"The Western Regions Alien Clan had once fought a great battle with the ancient tribes of Huaxia eight thousand years ago. The most famous battle was the Battle of Xilong in the Western Regions, where over ten thousand cultivators from Huaxia died. However... the Western Regions Alien Clan also suffered, losing at least thirty thousand. Later, when the Secret Realm erupted, many people from the Western Regions Alien Clan disappeared, severely weakened. After that, the Huaxia Secret Realm also erupted... Unexpectedly, the ambitions of the Western Regions Alien Clan have not died."

"You mean that the Western Regions also had a Secret Realm eruption?" Fang Yu was somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, Your Highness... Indeed it was. The difference is... the Western Regions Alien Clan did not experience a shortage of Spiritual Energy, so... the Western Regions Alien Clan had some advantages over us. Although the emergence of the Secret Realm brought disaster, it also restrained the Western Regions Alien Clan." Clan Leader Zuoqiu said.

Fang Yu nodded.

"Since you all know this history, I won't dwell on it. Rise and speak... I can let bygones be bygones for past matters. However..." Fang Yu's voice suddenly turned stern and he declared, "From now on, anyone daring to oppose Tiandu Mountain will be opposing me! There will be no forgiveness!"

The clan leaders quickly bowed their heads in unison saying, "Yes, Your Highness!"

"Rise and speak!"

"Yes!"

The clan leaders stood up one after another.

Except for the Jiuli Clan Leader, Gongsun Yang, who remained prostrate on the ground, his forehead touching the floor.

Fang Yu glanced at Gongsun Yang puzzledly and said indifferently, "Jiuli Clan Leader, Gongsun Yang? If you have any issues, feel free to speak!"

Everyone's gaze fell on Gongsun Yang.

They were unsure of what he wanted to do.

Without raising his head, Gongsun Yang said, "The Jiuli Clan has committed an unforgivable crime. I, Gongsun Yang, am deeply aware of my sins, and even if Your Highness forgives the Jiuli, I cannot forgive myself... I only ask Your Highness to grant me death!"

Everyone was taken aback.

It was clear that the Jiuli Clan members had suddenly died, leaving only him, which was a tremendous blow to him.

Even though Fang Yu practiced medicine with his cultivation path, he could not accomplish resurrection.

"You truly seek death..." Fang Yu took a step forward.

It was just this approach.

Suddenly—

Gongsun Yang's figure surged forward like a bolt of lightning.

Bang bang bang!

"Jiuli Demon Technique Chain Attack! Fang Yu... I'm going to kill you—"

Bang bang bang!

A series of attacks landed all on Fang Yu's chest.

Everyone's face changed drastically!

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

The people of Tianyin widened their eyes even more.

"Brother-in-law!"
