The First Venerable of All Paths

Looking at the stubborn girl in front of him, Fang Xuan shook his head helplessly.

"Whatever you want."

Fang Xuan cautioned, "You can come along if you want, but don't blame me if you get implicated."

"You're really looking down on people!"

Li Xintong rolled her eyes and asked curiously, "By the way, can I ask you a question?"

"Speak."

Seeing that no one was around, Fang Xuan walked out of the alley and pulled his straw hat down a little.

"How did you manage to offend the Ming family?"

Li Xintong caught up with Fang Xuan and whispered, "I saw it as soon as I entered Mingyang County. The Ming family is looking for you everywhere, as if they won't give up until they find you."

"Oh, I killed Mingyong's son."

Fang Xuan said nonchalantly, "He's Mingche's younger brother."

"what!"

Li Xintong screamed in surprise, then quickly covered her mouth.

After realizing no one was paying attention, Li Xintong whispered, "You're really too bold."

Although she saw Fang Xuan's wanted posters posted everywhere, she did not know why.

Fang Xuan's words surprised her greatly.

"Scared?"

Fang Xuan smiled and said, "Then you'd better keep your distance from me, or you'll get dragged into this."

"cut."

Li Xintong said, "The Ming family is just a local tyrant in Mingyang County. I'm not afraid of them."

"Really? You're quite impressive."

Fang Xuan smiled but didn't say anything.

He could naturally tell that Li Xintong's background was anything but simple.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for someone so young to have cultivated their spiritual power to the second rank.

only……

Fang Xuan suddenly stopped Li Xintong, a cold glint in his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Li Xintong paused, looking at Fang Xuan with a puzzled expression.

Fang Xuan didn't speak, but just looked at the alleys ahead.

"Since you're already here, stop hiding and come out."

Fang Xuan circulated his internal energy and said to Li Xintong, "If things don't look good, you should leave first."

Fang Xuan's reminder made Li Xintong belatedly realize what was happening.

"Three at the Condensation Realm and twelve at the Gathering Qi Realm."

Li Xintong's pretty face changed slightly, and she said, "They are not from the Ming family!"

"What a keen sense of perception this little girl has."

A sinister laugh rang out, and a bald, burly man emerged from the alley.

He carried a heavy nine-ringed sword, was burly, and had a ferocious face.

His cultivation level had even reached the Condensation Realm.

After the giant man appeared, fourteen other warriors also appeared one after another, blocking all of Fang Xuan's escape routes.

Among them were two cultivators at the Condensation Realm.

The remaining twelve martial artists were all at the Qi Gathering Realm.

When Li Xintong saw one of them, a sinister look appeared on her face.

"It's you!"

That person was Wen Lin.

Wen Lin's face was filled with resentment as he stared intently at Fang Xuan, his tone vicious: "Boy, I told you, I'll make you pay!"

Because he was kicked away by Fang Xuan in Tianbao Tower and then kicked out of the auction in a sorry state, Wen Lin felt that he had lost all face.

Before leaving, he made a harsh statement, telling Fang Xuan to pay the price.

After receiving Gu Can's reminder, Wen Lin went to the clan early and gathered a group of powerful people to block Fang Xuan.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Wen Lin's smug expression, Fang Xuan chuckled and said, "Wasn't the lesson learned before enough?"

"Kid, what are you so arrogant about?"

Thinking about what happened in the auction hall, Wen Lin's resentment grew even stronger.

"Or do you think I can't do anything to you?"

Fang Xuan glanced at the Wen family warriors around him and said in a calm tone, "These scoundrels really can't do anything to me."

"Fang Xuan, you are utterly arrogant!"

Wen Lin said with a ferocious expression, "Today, I'll show you the methods of the Wen family!"

"Oh no!"

Li Xintong said, "He knows who you are."

"So what if I know?"

Fang Xuan said nonchalantly, "I never intended to keep hiding it in the first place."

"Even on the verge of death, you're still being stubborn!"

The bald, burly man stepped forward with his knife, his powerful Yuan energy surging out, creating an oppressive atmosphere: "Boy, you dare to humiliate my young master? You have no chance of escape. If you know what's good for you, kneel down and kowtow three times. Maybe my young master will take pity on you and spare your life."

"And that bitch next to you, she'll be handed over to me too."

Wen Lin's gaze toward Li Xintong was filled with undisguised greed and lust.

He licked his lips and said in a gloomy tone, "If she serves me well, I might consider sparing your life."

"Nausea!"

Wen Lin's words made Li Xintong's pretty face turn red with anger, and her eyes were full of disgust.

"Nausea?"

Wen Lin laughed and said sternly, "You little bitch, once you fall into my hands, you'll know how good I am."

"Wen Kui, go."

Wen Lin said, "Capture Fang Xuan, but don't kill him. I still need to take him to the Ming family to claim a reward."

The reason he didn't notify the Ming family and chose to bring people here was because of the Ming family's reward.

"Don't worry, young master!"

The bald, burly man, Wen Kui, laughed heartily and shouted, "Mission accomplished!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bald, burly man stopped talking nonsense, took a step forward, and his nine-ringed blade brought a whistling sound as it slashed down at Fang Xuan's head. The pressure of the Condensation Realm instantly enveloped Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan's gaze sharpened, and instead of retreating, he advanced.

Dragonfish Body Technique was used instantly, his body sliding sideways like a swimming fish to avoid the blade, while simultaneously throwing a punch.

A powerful, domineering force surged from the fist and slammed into the blade.

"Bang!"

The palms and blades collided, and a violent shockwave exploded instantly.

Fang Xuan felt a tremendous force coming from him, his arm went numb, and he involuntarily took three steps back.

Wen Kui also took a step back, feeling a dull pain in his hand.

"Good lad, you do have some strength."

Wen Kui brandished his longsword and said coldly, "Unfortunately, you're only at the Qi Gathering Realm. How could you possibly be a match for me!"

The bald, burly man grinned maliciously and pressed forward step by step, his blade becoming increasingly ferocious.

Fang Xuan used his movement skills to constantly evade his attacks while choosing opportunities to retaliate.

"Fang Xuan, the Ming family is approaching rapidly; we must leave quickly."

At this moment, Li Xintong's urgent voice rang in Fang Xuan's ears.

"The Ming family is here too?"

Fang Xuan felt a chill run down his spine.

He took a step to the side, using his agility to evade Wen Kui's attack.

At the same time, Fang Xuan suddenly turned around, unleashing his Dragon Fish Movement Technique. His dragon fish figure flashed, and like a ghost, he pounced straight at Wen Lin behind the crowd.

"You dare, kid!"

Seeing that Fang Xuan had abandoned him and attacked his young master, Wen Kui's expression changed drastically, and he slashed fiercely at Fang Xuan's back with an extremely sharp blade.

But Fang Xuan was too fast.

The blade missed its mark, and Fang Xuan got even closer to Wen Lin.

"Quick, stop him!"

Wen Kui roared.

Several guards around Wen Lin rushed out at once, trying to stop Fang Xuan.

However, they were only at the Qi Gathering Realm, and their movement techniques and martial arts were no match for Fang Xuan.

"Pfft!"

Fang Xuan moved with ghostly speed, and in the blink of an eye, he lightly thrust out his finger, and a sharp sword aura burst forth from his fingertip, killing two Wen family warriors.

Fang Xuan's speed was not affected at all, and he still rushed towards Wen Lin.

"you......"

Wen Lin's expression changed drastically; he was so frightened that he turned to flee.

However, his cultivation level was even lower, and he had no chance of escaping from Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan formed his fingers into claws and instantly gripped Wen Lin's neck, holding him tightly in his palm.

"Let me go!"

Wen Lin screamed in terror and struggled frantically.

However, Fang Xuan simply released his Yuan energy from his palm, and Wen Lin let out a wail as his entire body went limp.

He discovered that his Yuan energy was no longer functioning.

This made Wen Lin even more terrified.

"You little bastard, what have you done?"

Wen Lin's voice trembled.

"Release my young master!"

Wen Kui and the others surrounded Fang Xuan, but dared not make a move.

While they were angry, they were also deeply shocked.

Despite being surrounded by so many people, Fang Xuan still had the strength to capture Wen Lin.

This courage and ability are truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"take it easy."

Fang Xuan said calmly, "I've only sealed your cultivation. But if you disobey, I can't guarantee that I won't accidentally destroy your dantian."

Upon hearing this, Wen Lin trembled.

"You dare!"

Wen Lin said sternly, "Kid, you know the consequences of what you're doing. I advise you to calm down!"

"That depends on whether Young Master Wen is obedient or not."

Fang Xuan grinned and said, "Tell them all to step back."

"Um?"

Seeing that Wen Lin did not react, Fang Xuan suddenly exerted force with his palm.

"what!"

Wen Lin screamed in pain and shouted, "Back off! All of you, back off! Do you want to kill me?"

Wen Kui and the others hesitated for a moment, then slowly retreated.

"Make them move aside."

Fang Xuan said, "As long as I can leave safely, I naturally won't kill you. The condition is that you obey me, understand?"

"I understand."

Wen Lin nodded repeatedly, but seeing that Wen Kui and the others remained unmoved, he roared again, "Are you all deaf? Get out of the way!"

He is arrogant.

He is a spoiled and arrogant young man.

But I'm even more afraid of dying.

Compared to capturing Fang Xuan to exchange for the Ming family's reward, Wen Lin valued his own life more.

Wen Kui and the others were merely Wen Lin's guards, so naturally they dared not disobey their master's orders.

"Kid, I'm warning you."

Wen Kui said coldly, "If you dare to harm a single hair on my young master's head, I guarantee I'll make you wish you were dead!"

"Threatening me?"

A cold glint flashed in Fang Xuan's eyes, and he snapped Wen Lin's arm in one swift motion.

"Snap!"

Wen Lin let out a heart-wrenching scream, nearly fainting from the pain.

"I'm most afraid of threats."

Fang Xuan said calmly, "If there's a next time, I'll destroy his dantian."

"Wen Kui, go to hell!"

Wen Lin shouted, "Are you trying to kill me? Get out of here right now!"

Wen Kui's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant after being scolded by Wen Lin.

But he dared not refute, and instead, suppressing his anger, slowly made way for her.

"Let's go."

Fang Xuan nodded to Li Xintong and was about to leave.

However, at that moment, a figure appeared from the very end of the road.

He was dressed in white and had a handsome appearance, but his temperament was too effeminate.

The Ming family is clear-headed!

"Walk?"

With one hand behind his back, Mingche said calmly, "You're probably not going to be leaving today."
