The First Venerable of All Paths

"It seems we have no choice but to use the Heart-Nourishing Pill."

After seeing Fang Yurong off, Fang Xuan returned to his room to prepare for seclusion.

He consumed a trace of the Chaos Origin today, which actually caused him great damage.

The Blood Fiend Gang will be arriving in Qingyang County soon, so Fang Xuan must recover to his peak condition as soon as possible.

If possible, he should advance to the Body Refinement Realm.

Although he had already made all the arrangements he could.

But that's not enough.

With the Fang family's current strength, they are completely unable to contend with the Blood Fiend Gang.

Strategically, we can despise the enemy.

However, the enemy should never be underestimated tactically.

Thinking of this, Fang Xuan decisively swallowed the Heart Nourishing Pill.

"boom!"

The elixir melted upon entering his mouth, transforming into a powerful force that surged into Fang Xuan's limbs and bones.

This energy, though immense, is incredibly gentle.

Fang Xuan felt that under the cleansing force of this energy, his depleted Chaos Origin was rapidly recovering.

The meridians and the mind also received excellent nourishment.

The Primordial Chaos Scripture and the Nine Revolutions Divine Elixir Record operate on their own, absorbing energy from the space to strengthen their own blood and qi, thus promoting Fang Xuan's cultivation.

Just one day later, Fang Xuan's condition returned to its peak.

just.

His wish to break through to the Body Refinement Realm was dashed.

"I've clearly touched the threshold of a breakthrough, but I'm still just a hair's breadth away."

Fang Xuan looked at his hands and fell into deep thought.

The ultimate realm of martial arts is simply the limit of each realm.

A breakthrough can be achieved with just one last kick.

But it seemed that something inside Fang Xuan's body was preventing him from breaking through.

"laugh!"

Just then, a phantom-like figure suddenly and eerily appeared in the secret chamber, kneeling before Fang Xuan.

This shadow was like a ghost.

If one does not see it with their own eyes, even the spirit cannot detect it.

"Young Master!"

Zhan Yi's voice rang out.

obviously.

Although it was only a short day.

Zhan Yi has already mastered the "Phantom Formless Technique" to the basic level.

However, Zhan Yi can only transform his body into a shadow at present, and his cultivation level has not yet been improved.

"The formation has been completed, but due to the quality of the materials, it can only withstand the full force of a peak Qi Condensation Realm expert at most."

Fang Xuan nodded and said, "That's enough. Even if the Blood Fiend Gang sends people, their strength shouldn't be that high. We just need to hold out for a while."

For Fang family members today.

Fang Xuan was not their greatest asset.

It was Elder Fang Shanhai.

Once Fang Shanhai advances to the Divine Intent Realm, even if the Blood Fiend Gang mobilizes its entire force, the Fang family will remain invincible.

"In addition, according to the news we've received, the Blood Fiend Gang has already entered Qingyang County."

Zhan Yi continued, "And the Su family seems to have already sent people to contact them."

Fang Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"It seems my original plan has been seen through."

Fang Xuan sneered: "But it doesn't matter, it's just causing some trouble for the Su family anyway."

He never expected that such low-level tactics could provoke the Blood Fiend Gang's anger towards the Su family.

It was only a matter of time before they saw through us.

His purpose was merely to buy some time.

However, it will probably take Fang Shanhai some more time to break through to the Divine Intent Realm.

The Blood Fiend Gang has arrived in Qingyang County and has made contact with the Su family.

This battle was unavoidable for the Fang family.

"Boom!"

Just then, Fang Xuan felt the ground shake.

Outside, the Fang family members could be heard shouting and roaring in alarm.

"Enemy attack!"

Zhan Yi said in a deep voice, "It's the Blood Fiend Gang!"

"Battle One!"

"exist!"

Fang Xuan suddenly stood up, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"You and your brothers guard the backyard."

Fang Xuan said in a serious tone, "Remember, no matter what happens, the backyard must not be lost."

All the elderly, women, and children of the Fang family were placed in the backyard.

This includes Fang Xuan's younger sister, Fang Rou.

"But......"

"No buts!"

Fang Xuan strode outside, his cold voice reaching Zhan Yi's ears.

"From the moment you became my shadow, you must obey my orders unconditionally!"

"Yes, young master!"

Zhan Yi clasped his hands in a salute, his body transforming into a shadow and disappearing once more.

Fang Xuan, who had just stepped out of the secret room, looked up.

A circle of yellow light appeared in mid-air, enveloping the entire Fang family compound.

Countless arrows were whistling in from afar, striking the protective barrier.

Although the arrow contained extremely terrifying power, causing the shield to shake violently, it barely held on.

The panicked members of the Fang family gradually calmed down under the reassurance of several elders.

"Young Master!"

At this moment, the Third Elder strode over, his face grim.

"They're from the Blood Fiend Gang."

The Third Elder said in a deep voice, "They demand that we hand over the murderers who wiped out the Blood Shark Gang, or they'll raze my Fang family to the ground!"

The killer?

Isn't it Fang Xuan?

"Raze my Fang family to the ground?"

Fang Xuan sneered: "Do they even have that ability?"

After saying that, Fang Xuan walked straight out the door.

Upon seeing this, the Third Elder's expression changed.

"Young Master, what are you doing?"

Fang Xuan continued walking, saying with a hint of disdain, "Naturally, I'll go and meet these uninvited guests."

Watching Fang Xuan's retreating figure, the Third Elder sighed deeply.

He couldn't quite tell whether the young master was truly confident or just pretending to be calm.

Outside the Fang family gate.

An atmosphere of grim determination pervaded the air.

A dozen or so warriors wielding bows and arrows were firing arrows at the Fang family.

Arrows, amplified by vital energy, relentlessly attacked the Fang family's magic array.

"It really is a turtle shell, tough as nails."

Seeing that the attack was unsuccessful, Blood Demon Gang Elder Blood Luo let out a cold laugh.

"How could this happen?"

Beside Xue Luo, a figure shrouded in black robes said in a surprised tone, "The Fang family's protective formation shouldn't be this sturdy, so why can't we break through it after so long?"

Others may not understand, but he knows it very well.

The Fang family's protective formation is merely a second-grade formation.

A Qi Gathering Realm expert can easily break through with a full-force attack.

It's unbelievable that the formation remained so resilient despite so many members of the Blood Fiend Gang attacking at the same time.

"I refuse to believe it, this damn thing is a solid block of iron!"

Xue Luo snatched the bow and arrow from the hand of one of his subordinates.

Draw the bow and nock the arrow, gathering vital energy into the arrow.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow pierced the air and struck the protective barrier of the formation instantly.

The protective array shook violently, but it couldn't be broken.

Xue Luo's eyes widened, and he almost burst into a curse.

He casually tossed aside his bow and arrows and roared, "Listen up, you little brats of the Fang family! You killed members of my Blood Fiend Gang, you have to give me an explanation!"

Xue Luo roared, "Unless you can hide inside forever, I'll slaughter your entire Fang family sooner or later!"

Upon hearing this, the Fang family members turned pale.

As Xue Luo said.

They certainly cannot rely on formations to hide forever.

Once the array's power was exhausted, the Blood Fiend Gang members stormed in.

What awaits the Fang family is utter ruin.

"Such arrogance."

Just then, a calm voice rang out.

The tightly closed gates of the Fang family suddenly burst open, and a young man in white, surrounded by a group of Fang family members, slowly walked in.

It was Fang Xuan!

"You also want to slaughter my entire Fang family?"

Fang Xuan sneered: "Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?"

"What? Is there no one left in the Fang family?"

Xue Luo sneered, "You actually sent a greenhorn to talk to me? Call out the person in charge! This kid isn't qualified!"

"Elder Xueluo, that is Fang Xuan, the current young master of the Fang family."

The man in black robes leaned closer and whispered, "At the same time, he was also the culprit who destroyed the Blood Shark Gang."

Bloodlust's eyes widened.

"How could a piece of trash at the Blood Creation Realm have such great abilities?"

Xue Luo roared, "Are you kidding me?"

"He really doesn't have that ability."

The man in black robes said, "But this little beast, as the young master of the Fang family, has the same power as the head of the family and can mobilize the family's resources at will."

"No wonder."

Xue Luo nodded, pointed at Fang Xuan and said, "Kid, I'm not an unreasonable person. Since you killed someone from my Blood Fiend Gang, then you get out here and let me slap you to death. Your Fang family members can live."

Reasoning?

If the Blood Fiend Gang were reasonable, they wouldn't have wiped out so many powerful families in Flowing Sand County and become the sole ruler of the region.

Once Fang Xuan activates the formation, Xue Luo will gather his subordinates, storm the Fang family compound, and wreak havoc.

"Young Master, he's lying to you. Don't fall for his trick."

The Third Elder also quickly offered his advice.

Fang Xuan was certainly not stupid; how could he not see through Xue Luo's purpose?

"I did indeed destroy the Blood Shark Gang, but to try and destroy my Fang family..."

He sneered, "Then let's break through my Yin-Yang Returning Origin Formation first."

The Two Elements Return to Origin Formation.

Naturally, it was a formation that Fang Xuan had selected from the inheritance of Empress Zhenxiao.

Although it is only of the second rank, this formation can neutralize the enemy's offensive and transform it into the power of the formation.

It can be said that as long as they do not actively remove the formation, even if a peak expert of the Condensation Realm personally takes action, they will not be able to break the formation in a short period of time.

"You little bastard, you really think I can't crack your turtle shell?"

Bloodlust's eyes flashed with ferocity as he roared, "Then today I'll show you the methods of my Blood Fiend Gang!"

"Brothers, draw your knives!"

"yes!"

Dozens of Blood Fiend Gang warriors simultaneously drew their blood-red blades.

"cut!"

At Xue Luo's command, dozens of crimson blade beams shot out.

Finally, it transformed into a single force and fiercely slashed towards the Yin-Yang Returning Origin Formation.

"Boom!"

As the blade struck, the formation shook violently.

All members of the Fang family felt a jolt in their hearts.

Fortunately, the formation managed to hold up.

"good!"

The Fang family cheered.

The Third Elder was also dumbfounded.

No wonder the young master ordered people to rearrange the magic array yesterday.

So this Yin-Yang Returning Origin Formation is really that powerful.

The look of shock in his eyes as he looked at Fang Xuan grew even stronger.

Young Master, you actually understand the art of formations.

That's truly incredible.

Fang Xuan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected of an array personally created by Empress Zhenxiao, it's truly impressive.

If he possessed Empress Zhenxiao's natal imperial weapon, the Three Thousand Array Diagram, the Two Elements Returning to Origin Array would be even more impregnable.

Even if you, a master of the Divine Realm, were to come, you wouldn't be able to budge an inch.

"continue!"

Xue Luo's face was ashen as he continued to order his subordinates to keep attacking the Fang family's formation.

After three attempts, all ended in failure.

A sense of powerlessness welled up in Xue Luo's heart.

He came to cause trouble for the Fang family with great momentum, but he couldn't even break through their formation.

If this gets out, the Blood Fiend Gang will lose all face.

Just as Xue Luo was about to seek another method, he saw the magic array standing above the Fang family.

Suddenly, a burst of light appeared, then it began to flicker rapidly.

"Buzz!"

Immediately afterwards, all the light dimmed.

"Oh no! Someone has sabotaged the magic array from inside!"

Upon seeing this, Fang Xuan's pupils involuntarily contracted.

Xue Luo was stunned for a moment, then burst into wild laughter: "Hahaha, brothers, this is a great opportunity! Kill them all! Wipe out the entire Fang family!"
