The First Venerable of All Paths

"Splash!"

As Fang Xuan pressed down with his palm, chains floated out from the void and shot towards Ming Yang.

The chains, formed from array patterns, exuded an aura that shook mountains and rivers and dominated the world.

The formation locks the mountains and rivers, locks the mountains!

As Fang Xuan's divine soul broke through to the first-grade realm, his cultivation also progressed smoothly to the second level of the Qi Gathering Realm yesterday.

Therefore, setting up this level-three formation at this moment was a piece of cake for him.

Its power is several times greater than before.

"Buzzing!"

Chains stretched across the sky, accompanied by a series of booming sounds, creating a magnificent spectacle.

Mingyang was completely stunned.

He never expected that Fang Xuan had set up an array in advance.

This means that the other party already knew that he had been imbued with a soul-binding technique.

Damn it.

been played!

Mingyang wished he could tear the withered old monster to pieces.

This thing actually got me into trouble.

But at this moment, Mingyang couldn't care less about anything else.

If he doesn't take action soon, he feels he'll die here tonight.

"Boy, you can't just kill members of the Ming family like that!"

Seeing that the array chains were about to touch him, Mingyang's face turned ferocious. He immediately took out a jade talisman and crushed it with force.

"A summoning jade talisman?"

Fang Xuan was somewhat surprised to see this.

It is different from the divine will and soul talisman.

The summoning jade talisman contains a sealed divine thought of a powerful being at the Divine Intent Realm.

Simply injecting Yuan energy can activate this divine thought, unleashing extremely terrifying power.

"Boom!"

The moment the jade talisman was crushed, a powerful aura surged forth in the void.

"Who dares to kill my son?"

A cold and brutal voice echoed over the village.

The next moment, a phantom male figure suddenly appeared behind Mingyang.

The aura emanating from this person is far stronger than that of Xue Wushang.

He is at least a martial arts expert at the third level of the Divine Intent Realm.

This man, named Ming Yong, was Ming Yang's father.

He is also the head of the Ming family in Mingyang County.

"roll!"

With the array-patterned chains almost within reach, Ming Yong waved his hand, and all the spiritual energy in the sky gathered together, condensing into a giant hand, which he then fiercely grabbed at the array-patterned chains.

"Sizzle!"

Several array-patterned chains were torn apart by the giant hand.

The formation trembled, as if it might shatter at any moment.

"Trapped at sea!"

Seeing this, Fang Xuan quickly formed hand seals, and the Bagua pattern flashed deep in his eyes.

The next moment, the shaking formation stabilized instantly.

Immediately afterwards, an even more terrifying aura filled the sky.

"Splash!"

Three golden chains emerged from the void behind Ming Yong and instantly bound his hands.

"Um?"

Ming Yong's expression changed.

He discovered that no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free of the chains.

Furthermore, these golden chains were constantly weakening his divine sense.

"Boy, I am the head of the Ming family. Could you please give me some face and let this matter rest?"

Knowing he couldn't break free from the array-patterned chains, Ming Yong immediately said, "If you ever reach Mingyang County, my Ming family will surely repay you handsomely."

However, Fang Xuan noticed a fleeting murderous intent in Ming Yong's eyes.

Fang Xuan knew very well.

If he really went to Mingyang County, the Ming family would definitely tear him to pieces.

Therefore, Fang Xuan simply sneered.

"What if I refuse?"

Ming Yong was taken aback, and a cold glint instantly flashed in his eyes.

"Kid, are you really going to push things to the extreme?"

Fang Xuan scoffed, "So you're getting angry already?"

"Kid, don't be ungrateful!"

Ming Yong's expression darkened: "This matter was started by the killing of my Ming family elder. If you dare to kill my son today, I guarantee that you will have no place to stand in the entire Qingzhou!"

"Such a humble divine realm, yet he speaks with such arrogance."

Upon hearing this, Fang Xuan shook his head and chuckled.

"Unfortunately, Qingzhou is not a place you can call the shots."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xuan changed the hand seals in his hands once again.

"Pfft!"

Two golden array-patterned chains emerged from the void once more, instantly piercing through Ming Yong's body.

"Kid, you..."

Emperor Yongzheng was about to speak when he was pulled into the formation by four chains and gradually obliterated.

"Boy, if you dare harm my son, I will tear you to pieces!"

Before his divine consciousness shattered, Ming Yong's voice, filled with resentment, echoed across the sky.

The next moment, the array patterns flickered, and Ming Yong's figure exploded completely.

"Father......"

Mingyang was completely stunned by what he saw.

He never expected that even his father's divine sense was no match for Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan is definitely not at the Qi Gathering Realm!

What is his background?

"It seems you've used up all your cards."

Fang Xuan looked at Ming Yang and gently pointed forward with his finger.

"laugh!"

A golden array-patterned chain, like a sword aura, instantly pierced through the sky and penetrated Mingyang's brow.

"Well......"

Mingyang trembled, his face first showing a look of astonishment, then turning into fear and despair, and finally into deep regret.

He regretted that he had let the other party get greedy.

In that case, I, the dignified young master of the Ming family, wouldn't have died here.

After killing Mingyang, Fang Xuan's expression remained unchanged.

Even when Xue Wushang was trapped by the array that locked mountains and rivers, it took him a lot of effort to break free.

Although Ming Yong's cultivation was higher, he was ultimately just a divine thought.

With Fang Xuan's soul and cultivation breaking through simultaneously, and his ability to comprehend the second transformation of the array locking mountains and rivers, it was reasonable for him to resolve Ming Yong's divine sense.

He turned around and looked towards the village entrance, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Are you able to leave?"

Fang Xuan stomped his foot on the ground.

"Buzzing!"

The array patterns appeared and spread towards the village entrance.

The next moment, a figure was imprisoned within the formation, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free.

This person is none other than the withered old monster!

"Young friend, I was wrong!"

The withered old monster wore a mournful face, with three parts regret and seven parts pleading: "This is a misunderstanding."

It is true that he is at the Condensation Realm.

In the southwest region, he is considered a prominent figure.

However, upon witnessing Fang Xuan effortlessly dispel the divine sense of even a powerful expert in the Divine Intent Realm, the withered old monster felt his entire body go weak.

He didn't even have the slightest thought of resisting.

"I've already let you off the hook once."

Fang Xuan's expression was indifferent, and his tone was devoid of any warmth.

"I really know I was wrong."

The withered monster knelt on the ground and begged, "If you can spare me, I will serve you like a beast of burden, a slave and servant."

"Sorry, I'm not interested."

Fang Xuan raised his arm and tapped it gently.

Several golden chains emerged from the formation and shot straight toward the withered monster.

Within the chains lies an extreme killing intent.

"you......"

Upon seeing this, the withered old monster's expression suddenly changed drastically.

The next moment, he vanished from the spot in a bizarre manner.

"Snap snap!"

The chains pierced the ground, but did not harm the withered monster in the slightest.

A few meters away, the withered old monster appeared, his face filled with lingering fear.

"You little bastard, this old man's life isn't something anyone can take away."

The withered old monster's face was contorted with rage, and he said in a chilling tone, "If you don't want me to live, I won't let you have it easy either!"
