The audience erupted in disbelief.

Especially the members of the Dark Web at the hall's entrance and the Tianyin people.

They couldn't understand why Fang Yu would go with them!

Aoguang snorted coldly, preparing to summon the Holy Artifact.

Ao Qing quickly said, "Lord Aoguang... since he is willing to go with us, there's no need to sacrifice the Holy Artifact! Don't you think?"

"Hmm?"

"This kid, as long as he returns with us to the Dragon Sleep Sacred Land, it means the Secret Realm energy from the ten thousand years will be brought back to the Holy Land. By then, the Elders can take it out anytime! He currently possesses the Secret Realm energy, and once a real battle starts, that energy acts as his amulet. Not to mention three moves, even ten moves, you won't take him down unless you sacrifice the Holy Artifact Spirit, but... the Holy Artifact Spirit is extremely precious!" Ao Qing advised.

"You make a good point."

Aoguang withdrew the murderous intent exuding from his body and shot Fang Yu a cold glance, "I advise you not to play any tricks, otherwise I can kill you at any time!"

Fang Yu waved his hand and said:

"From the beginning, I never intended to escape, it's just... I didn't expect Lord Ao Jiang to be so easily flustered, getting knocked out and even accidentally killed by me! Alas... I thought Fake Saints were supposed to be formidable, but turns out they're all trash!"

"Say that again?" Aoguang's face looked grim. To say such things in front of them was equivalent to insulting them, wasn't it?

"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue..."

Fang Yu squinted and smiled.

Ao Qing maintained a calm expression, silently sneering, after killing Ao Jiang, I'd seek a chance to kill Aoguang as well. Then all the credit would be mine alone.

Earlier, Aoguang's focus was entirely on Fang Yu and that ball of energy, neglecting Ao Jiang... nor did he notice Ao Qing seizing the opportunity when Ao Jiang was physically exhausted and most vulnerable, to kill him!

At the time of his death, Ao Jiang never anticipated that Ao Qing would truly strike him down.

It all stemmed from Ao Jiang underestimating Fang Yu's power, leading to his Holy Artifact being shattered!

If the Holy Artifact remained, at least he'd have a chance for survival.

What a pity!

It's all too late.

A generation's Fake Saint, Ao Jiang of the Dragon Clan, thus fell.

...

"Take him away!"

Aoguang commanded.

"Yes!"

The five Infinite Level masters trembled inwardly.

Fang Yu seemed indifferent and honestly followed along.

After a few steps, he turned back and said, "Give me a few days, I'll be back soon."

...

After Fang Yu left.

The area in front of the hall fell silent.

After some time, Jiang Hongxiu finally spoke up, "If I'm not mistaken, His Highness's identity should still be hidden."

Chen Daotian scratched his head and asked, "What do you mean?"

"His Highness is the legitimate bloodline of the Dragon Clan and is destined to inherit the position of Dragon Emperor in the future... Over ten thousand years ago, after the Dragon Emperor's passing, the Dragon Clan has been leaderless. They've been in hiding at the Dragon Sleep Sacred Land all these years, which is unusual for them! The Dragon Clan has always looked down on the world, ranking above the Ten Great Bloodlines... It was once rumored that the Dragon Clan has resided in the Holy Land to resolve internal conflicts. If internal discord truly exists, exposing His Highness's identity would spell disaster!"

Ye Wenjun nodded and said:

"Clan Leader Jiang is right... in a power struggle, how could they let the throne be taken by a suddenly emerged legitimate bloodline? The only option would be to eliminate him! Fang Yu being alive means his identity hasn't been leaked... Moreover, Fang Yu's willingness to accompany them suggests he has enough confidence to ensure his safety."

Everyone nodded.

"I never thought the Dragon Clan was this powerful! It's terrifying! Just a few individuals are enough to dominate the entire Tiandu Mountain! Even Mr. Fang finds them difficult to handle!"

"Nonsense, Mr. Fang's power has just recently broken through to the Epic Realm!"

"Alas, the primary issue is our cultivation time is too short, how could we catch up with these people who have cultivated for eight thousand, even ten thousand years?"

Indeed, that statement rings true.

Modern individuals reaching their current cultivation level is already astonishing.

How could they compare?

"Clan Leader Jiang, do you have any insights?" Ye Wenjun asked as he observed Jiang Hongxiu lost in thought.

"I believe His Highness's identity must be kept secret, nobody can guarantee that other bloodlines within the Ten Great Bloodlines won't change allegiances! With His Highness being taken by the Dragon Clan, Tiandu Mountain's overall strength pales in comparison to the other Great Bloodlines. If they opt to side with the Dragon Clan, they would target Tiandu Mountain!"

"The Ancestor is right."

As the group was deliberating on strategies—

Xu Zhaopei crossed her arms, approached, and rolled her eyes saying, "What are you all worried about? With me here, I'll see who dares come up!"

Everyone's eyes fell on the striking Xu Zhaopei.

That seems to make sense.

Almost forgot about the owner of the Ordinary Blood.

With her around, what's there to fear about cultivators? In front of her, they're just ordinary people.

"Ordinary Blood is powerful but also very risky. If others find out, what if they use modern weapons against you?" someone said.

Xu Zhaopei rolled her eyes, "Ordinary people with modern weapons and you can't handle them? Obviously, you're supposed to protect me, that's why I'm here, to rely on my boyfriend!"

Boyfriend? Raised many eyebrows.

The statement sounded odd.

Jiang Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue, "Please, my brother-in-law is already married, has a legal wife, what are you butting in for?"

"Can't get divorced if you're married? Moreover, I didn't force him to do anything, I'll wait for him to divorce, then I can rightfully become his wife," Xu Zhaopei laughed.

"..."

Everyone fell silent.

This is quite shameless.

Chen Daotian sighed, "Forget about this, let's continue our cultivation, picking places with shorter time, training for a week. Staying around just makes us a burden, better to cultivate hard."

This also echoed Ye Wenjun's thoughts.

She didn't argue with Xu Zhaopei, instead saying, "Miss Xu, being a third party is not a commendable thing."

"Miss Ye, I don't like hearing that, I'm just willing to wait for him, how is that not commendable? I haven't gotten into bed with him yet... Is it wrong for me to regard him as my boyfriend myself? Is it wrong for me to wait for him to get a divorce?" Xu Zhaopei retorted.

"..."

At this moment.

Jiang Hongxiu said, "Everyone stop arguing... This young lady, since you possess Ordinary Blood, you must be cautious. If the Dragon Clan knows your identity, what if they send someone to assassinate you? The Dragon Clan's cultivation is strong, and they have many Holy Artifacts, even one Holy Artifact is distressing."

"Whatever, as long as I'm here, who dare act recklessly!" Xu Zhaopei remarked.

That's true indeed.

With Ordinary Blood present, which cultivator dare act recklessly?

...

Meanwhile.

Fang Yu, along with Ao Qing and Aoguang, once again arrived at the Dragon Sleep Sacred Land's entrance, their minds aflutter.

"Lords Ao, is our Dragon Clan's entrance constantly changing?"

PS: Two things to mention: One, the website canceled my recommendations, causing data to plummet, leading to a restless night; Two, watched IG's match today, spent the afternoon without writing, feeling unbearably tired. Missing one chapter, and will make it up later. Going to sleep now. Alas, this book has been so tumultuous, unwelcome from start to now. I don't know how to keep going, yet I've written two million words, rushing the plot ahead. The pacing needs to speed up.
