The First Venerable of All Paths

"Snap!"

The teacup was crushed, but Fang Yue didn't care about the tea all over his hands; his face was full of shock.

"Fang Xuan stormed nine levels of the Martial Tower, making a name for himself throughout the province, and even killed Su Chen?"

Looking down at his trusted subordinates, Fang Yue coldly retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting? How could a mere Blood Creation Realm beast have done that?"

"This is absolutely true; I witnessed it with my own eyes, and there is not a single lie!"

The confidant immediately said, "If Master doesn't believe it, he can easily send someone to find out the truth."

"No need, I doubt you would dare to lie to me."

Fang Yue's expression was uncertain, but his eyes were full of murderous intent.

He conquered nine floors in a row, leaving his name in the whole state.

This means that Fang Xuan's martial arts talent and potential have reached an extremely terrifying level.

Even putting that aside, Su Chen is still considered a genius of the Su family, having already reached the Body Refinement Realm at a young age.

But even Su Chen died at Fang Xuan's hands, so this little beast's strength is far more terrifying than he imagined.

Seeing his master's grim expression, the confidant suggested, "Master, Fang Xuan's talent and strength are so terrifying, should we...?"

As he spoke, he made a throat-slitting gesture.

Upon seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Fang Yue's eyes, as if he was somewhat tempted.

Previously, he was absolutely certain of victory in the life-or-death battle between his son Fang Xiao and Fang Xuan.

But now, Fang Xuan has displayed such terrifying potential, even managing to kill Su Chen, who is in the Body Refinement Realm, despite only being at the Blood Creation Realm...

Fang Yue couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

If Fang Xiao loses, wouldn't all his plans over the years be in vain?

Absolutely not!

Fang Xuan must die, and the Fang family must belong to Fang Yue!

But what if Fang Xuan were killed beforehand...?

"As long as Master gives the order, I guarantee I will handle this matter perfectly and ensure that no one will find out."

Seeing that Fang Yue seemed somewhat interested, his confidant immediately spoke up.

"What if we're discovered?"

Fang Yue tapped his fingers on the table, his eyes fixed on his trusted aide, and said in a low voice, "Even if we don't get noticed, even a fool can guess that it was us, and it won't end well."

Although he wished the Li family would kill Fang Xuan.

But with the competition imminent, if something were to happen to Fang Xuan, everyone would suspect that he was behind it.

If he tries to take over the Fang family again, he will likely face tremendous obstacles.

"but......"

Fang Yue waved his hand as his confidant tried to persuade him further.

"Let's not talk about this again."

Once Fang Yue calmed down, he immediately said, "The Martial Arts Tower Challenge can only reveal a person's potential in martial arts; it's nothing special."

As for Fang Xuan's ability to kill Su Chen...

It's probably just relying on that secret technique to forcibly boost its strength; it's nothing to worry about.

Thinking of this, Fang Yue felt even more relaxed.

"My son has a Earth-level Martial Vein, and his talent is outstanding, far surpassing that little beast by a hundred or a thousand times."

Fang Yue confidently stated, "If my son is to sit in the position of the young master of the Fang family, he needs to kill Fang Xuan honorably, leaving no room for criticism!"

Using underhanded tactics behind someone's back is indeed a good method.

However, there is also the risk of a potential financial disaster.

Compared to this, he had more faith in his son Fang Xiao's strength, which was enough to crush Fang Xuan and kill him!

"Understood."

The confidant nodded, agreeing with Fang Yue's reasoning.

"Keep an eye on Fang Xuan these next few days."

Fang Yue said, "Report anything to me immediately."

"yes!"

After his trusted aide left, Fang Yue's face suddenly darkened.

"Fang Xuan, I really underestimated you."

He muttered to himself, "However, potential is still just potential. In a life-or-death battle, only absolute strength matters!"

......

"He stormed nine floors in a row, leaving his name in the whole province. With his Blood Creation Realm cultivation, he killed Su Chen, who was in the Body Refinement Realm. This Fang Xuan is truly remarkable."

Inside the restaurant, a man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks picked up a wine glass and deliberately spoke loudly.

Sure enough, people were soon drawn over.

"Fang Xuan? The Fang Xuan you're talking about, the genius boy who once overshadowed the entire Qingyang County, making all his peers unable to hold their heads high? Isn't he dead?"

"Not only did he not die, but he also recovered his cultivation. Today, he challenged the Martial Tower and reached the ninth floor in one fell swoop, making a name for himself."

"Are you sure you're talking about the same person? You're just bragging, aren't you?"

"Am I bragging? Hundreds of people witnessed this; how could it be fake?"

"hiss!"

Seeing the other party's confident assertion, everyone in the restaurant gasped in shock.

The Fang family is one of the three major families in Qingyang County.

Young Master Fang Xuan was born with an innate Dao physique, possessing unparalleled talent and abilities, which made all his peers in Qingyang County unable to hold their heads high.

It can be said that he is the most dazzling star in the entire Qingyang County.

Until three years ago, Fang Xuan suffered an accident that not only destroyed his cultivation, but also made him mentally impaired, turning him into a "useless young master" that everyone ridiculed.

A few days ago, it was even rumored that Fang Xuan attempted to assault Su Qingyao, but was caught in the act by Zhao Qingcang, a disciple of the Dao Asking Sect, who angrily intervened and killed him at the Broken Soul Cliff.

Now, he has not only returned alive, but he has also displayed a cultivation level even more terrifying than before.

This reversal is simply unbelievable.

"I also heard that Fang Xuan was wrongly accused of assaulting Su Qingyao."

The man's eyes darted around, and he whispered, "Actually, it was that guy from the Dao Seeking Sect who coveted Fang Xuan's innate Dao body and conspired with Su Qingyao to frame him."

Someone countered, "Impossible! Even within the Dao Seeking Sect, Zhao Qingcang is a renowned genius with an extremely high status. Would he do such a thing?"

The man sneered, "Then how do you explain that just after news broke that Fang Xuan had assaulted Su Qingyao, Zhao Qingcang awakened his innate Dao body? Isn't that too much of a coincidence?"

"Oh, this..."

That makes so much sense, it's impossible to refute.

Is this really the case?

Was Fang Xuan framed and wronged?

Just as he was preparing to see the shocked expressions on everyone's faces to satisfy his vanity, he found that everyone's expression changed, and they looked at him in horror.

Even worse, some people simply got up and left.

Sensing something was amiss, the man turned his head, his pupils immediately contracting.

"Young Master Su..."

Behind him, Su Yang was looking at him with a gloomy expression.

"How dare you offend a disciple of the Dao Seeking Sect!"

The man was so frightened that his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

"Young Master Su, I was wrong, I'll never do it again, I..."

Su Yang remained unmoved and waved his hand, saying, "Take him out and cripple him!"

"yes!"

Two guards immediately stepped forward and dragged the man away.

Soon, screams reached everyone's ears clearly, sending chills down their spines.

This Su Yang is even more ruthless than the rumors suggest.

"If I ever hear anyone slandering my sister or making false accusations against Zhao Shengzi again, I will kill them!"

Su Yang walked out of the restaurant with a distorted expression.

"Fang Xuan, you deserve to die!"

In just half a day, Fang Xuan's challenge to Wu Lou and his killing of his cousin Su Chen had become the talk of the town throughout Qingyang County.

In taverns and teahouses, on the streets and in alleys, everyone was talking about this.

Furthermore, various speculations arose regarding Fang Xuan's alleged sexual assault of his sister, Su Qingyao.

Rumors are flying everywhere.

This has led to a lot of negative comments about the Su family.

Su Yang, who was in a very bad mood, had come to the restaurant to relax and unwind, but then he overheard someone publicly framing and slandering his sister, Su Qingyao.

Enraged, Su Yang crippled the man.

"Young Master, these rumors are rampant and are very detrimental to our Su family."

A guard approached and spoke cautiously.

"Do I need you to remind me?"

Su Yang glanced at the man, his eyes icy cold.

The man chuckled and quickly retreated.

"come over!"

Su Yang beckoned, and the guard came over again, his face full of flattery.

"Young master, what are your orders?"

Su Yang stared at the other man, his eyes scrutinizing him, and said, "Ah Da, how long have you been following me?"

Ah Da immediately replied, "Young Master, it has been sixteen years."

"Can I trust you?"

Su Yang's tone was low, and his eyes were as cold and sinister as a venomous snake.

"For the young master, I would gladly face any danger, even going through fire and water!"

Ah Da knelt on one knee to express his loyalty.

"very good."

Su Yang's lips curled into a cold smile as he said, "I have something I need you to do."

"Please give your orders, young master!"

Ah Da seemed to have guessed something, his face showing unwavering determination.

You'd better think this through.

Su Yang said, "This matter is very dangerous. If it is exposed, I will not admit it."

"Knock knock knock!"

Ah Da kowtowed three times and said, "Ah Da will bear any consequences and will never implicate the young master or the Su family!"

"very good."

Su Yang helped A-Da up and said in a low voice, "I will take good care of your family and never let them suffer the slightest grievance."

"Thank you, young master!"

Ah Da's eyes reddened slightly; he was deeply moved.

That night, Su Yang's trusted subordinate, A Da, was stripped of his cultivation and expelled from the Su family for stealing the family's treasures.

Fang family.

A dilapidated courtyard.

Inside the room.

Fang Xuan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

A scarlet aura of killing intent surrounded Fang Xuan, radiating murderous intent.

Deep marks were left on the ground.

Suddenly, Fang Xuan opened his eyes.

In an instant, all the killing intent in the room, as if summoned, surged into Fang Xuan's body.

"Pop!"

Fang Xuan opened his mouth and spat out a wisp of killing intent.

"Snap!"

The hard wall was pierced by the murderous aura, leaving a hole the size of a hair.

Seeing this, Fang Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

The killing intent is woven into threads; the King of Killing Fist has already entered the realm of martial arts.

"This Killing King Fist is truly domineering. It's already so powerful at just the beginner level. If one were to cultivate it to the highest level..."

I recall the white-haired Fang Xuan on the top floor of the Martial Tower, displaying the Killing King Fist.

One punch, and the world trembled.

That power seemed capable of obliterating everything and suppressing all the heavens.

of course.

To reach this level of cultivation, one needs immense strength.

Fang Xuan is not capable of doing that yet.

"However, combined with the Chaos Sacred Body and the pinnacle of martial arts, I have the strength to fight even against a martial artist at the third level of the Body Refinement Realm!"

A martial artist at the Blood Creation Realm condenses their blood and qi to strengthen themselves.

For martial artists at the Body Refinement Realm, their physical bodies will undergo further tempering and evolution, resulting in skin as smooth as jade.

His strength was many times greater than that of a Blood Creation Realm martial artist.

Therefore, the first to third levels of the Body Refinement Realm are also known as the Jade Skin Realm.

"Although Fang Xiao only has a Earth-level Martial Vein, he has three more years of cultivation than me, and his combat strength is much stronger than that of Su Chen and Su Yang."

A cold glint flashed in Fang Xuan's eyes, and his five fingers clenched tightly.

"But killing him isn't difficult!"

He never considered Fang Xiao a rival.

The other party is not qualified.

His enemies.

It's Su Qingyao.

It's Zhao Qingcang!
