The First Venerable of All Paths

"Grandpa, please be more polite to Brother Fang Xuan in the future!"

Inside the carriage, Li Tianjiao crossed his arms and said angrily, "Otherwise, I'll never talk to you again."

"You brat, how dare you talk to your grandpa like that?"

Li Shanya glared at him and said, "Don't you know that the Fang family has now offended the Blood Fiend Gang and is not far from being wiped out? Your relationship with that Fang family brat is currently ambiguous; aren't you afraid of being implicated later?"

"Don't be afraid."

Li Tianjiao said confidently, "Brother Fang Xuan is so powerful, the Blood Fiend Gang is no match for him at all."

"What about the Su family? What about the Dao Seeking Sect?"

Li Shanya reprimanded sternly, "The Su family and the Fang family have now completely broken off relations. Do you think the Fang family can stand against the Dao Seeking Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Li Tianjiao lowered his head.

But a flash of bloodlust flickered in his eyes.

"Girl."

Li Shanya said earnestly, "You represent the Li family, and the hope of the entire Li family. Your future path will be very long, and getting too involved with Fang Xuan will not do you any good."

Who can say for sure what the future holds?

Li Tianjiao looked at Li Shanya and said seriously, "I hope Grandpa won't say things like that again. I don't like it."

"you......"

Li Shanya sighed and said, "What about the Three Races Tournament? That concerns a secret realm, you..."

"If Brother Fang Xuan needs it, I'll give it to him."

Li Tianjiao spoke calmly, but Li Shanya rolled his eyes and felt a tightness in his chest.

"Li Tianjiao, are you trying to drive your grandfather to his death?"

"If even a powerful expert at the Divine Intent Realm can be angered to death, then your granddaughter is truly capable."

"you......"

......

"Young master, this old servant must remind you of something."

Grandpa Zhong followed behind Fang Xuan with a limp, muttering something incessantly.

"Lust is a dangerous thing, and women are all fierce tigers. The one from Tianbao Tower is the queen of tigers. You can't afford to mess with her."

"Snapped!"

Fang Xuan tapped Zhongye on the head with one finger.

"Young master, this old servant knows he was wrong."

Grandpa Zhong clutched his head, his face contorted in pain.

"Then shut your mouth."

Fang Xuan suddenly stopped and looked at the three people in front of him, his eyes narrowing.

The person in charge was none other than Su Yang.

"Oops."

Zhongye's expression changed, and he said, "Trouble is coming."

"He's not a problem for me."

Fang Xuan smiled faintly.

"Young Master is mighty!"

Master Zhong patted his chest and said, "Young Master, rest assured, this old servant will protect you with my life!"

"What a loyal old dog."

Su Yang sneered, "Fang Xuan, we couldn't touch you at Tianbao Tower, let's see who can protect you now."

"Oh?"

Fang Xuan asked, "What do you want?"

"Kneel down, kowtow, and apologize."

Su Yang smiled coldly: "As long as you can satisfy this young master, I will naturally let you leave."

"I'm really sorry, but I don't have the habit of kneeling before people."

Fang Xuan said, "Why don't you demonstrate?"

"Fang Xuan, do you really think you're still the young master of the Fang family you used to be?"

Su Yang said sternly, "In my eyes, you are nothing but trash, a useless piece of wood, a dead dog that's not long for this world!"

"You little brat, keep your mouth shut for your Master Zhong."

Master Zhong roared, "Otherwise, my young master could crush you with just one finger."

"You old bastards, break their arms and legs!"

Su Yang's face twisted in rage as he said, "But don't kill him. I'm waiting for the Blood Fiend Gang to come knocking so I can watch the show."

"Yes, young master!"

Two guards approached Fang Xuan, rubbing their hands together, their bodies radiating powerful energy fluctuations.

They were all martial artists at the third level of the Body Refinement Realm.

"Young master, the enemy outnumbers us, we must get out of here!"

Zhongye's expression immediately changed, and he turned and ran.

They are agile and extremely fast.

"Hahaha, this is hilarious!"

Seeing Master Zhong flee in disarray, Su Yang laughed until tears streamed down his face.

"Fang Xuan, Fang Xuan, you really are a piece of trash! Even this loyal old dog has run away, what do you have left to fight me with?"

Su Yang's tone changed, and he said coldly, "Make your move, cripple him!"

The two guards immediately sped up and rushed towards Fang Xuan.

"Bang! Bang!"

But the next moment, the two guards were sent flying backward at an even faster speed than when they arrived, crashing heavily in front of Su Yang.

Blood spurted from his mouth and nose, and his limbs were twisted.

It seems that even if he survives, he will be completely crippled.

"How...is this possible?"

Su Yang took a step back, his voice trembling with panic, and said, "Fang Xuan, how...how did you do that?"

What do you think?

Fang Xuan walked towards Su Yang step by step, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"Fang Xuan, what are you doing?"

Su Yang retreated repeatedly, saying with a fierce but weak voice, "I am the young master of the Su family. If you dare to touch me, the Su family will never let you off the hook."

"The last person who said that to me, wasn't their name Su Chen?"

Fang Xuan said expressionlessly, "You probably already know what happened to him."

Su Yang then remembered that Su Chen had indeed died at Fang Xuan's hands.

"You wouldn't dare kill me, would you?"

Su Yang said, "Even if you had ten times the courage, you still wouldn't..."

"Snapped!"

Before he could finish speaking, Fang Xuan raised his hand and slapped Su Yang hard across the face.

The slap was powerful and heavy, knocking Su Yang to the ground.

Teeth fell out mixed with blood, and half of Su Yang's face was slapped out of shape.

"Fang Xuan, how dare you hit me?"

With bloodshot eyes, Su Yang roared, "Do you even know what trouble you've caused?"

"Do I need to pick a time to hit you?"

Fang Xuan stepped on Su Yang's chest, grinding his foot back and forth.

"Snap!"

A crisp sound came from Su Yang's chest.

His sternum was crushed.

"Master Zhong is right, I really only need one finger to crush you!"

Fang Xuan looked down at Su Yang and said in a cold tone, "But not now. I will let you see with your own eyes how the Su family will be destroyed step by step."

After saying that, he pressed down hard with his foot again, crushing Su Yang's kneecap.

"what!"

The pain of broken bones made Su Yang's eyes bloodshot, as if they were about to burst out of their sockets.

"Fang Xuan, you dare break my leg? I will definitely kill you, I promise!"

Faced with Su Yang's taunts, Fang Xuan's lips curled into a chilling, sinister smile.

"Compared to everything Su Qingyao and the Su family have done to me, the pain of your broken leg is nothing."

Fang Xuan said, "Tell me, if I were to cripple your dantian, martial meridians, and spine all at once, would you still be able to hold onto your position as the young master of the Su family?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yang's pupils contracted.

"No!"

Su Yang said in a panicked voice, "Fang Xuan, I beg you, please let me go. I know I was wrong. I don't want to become a cripple."

His tone was full of pleading.

For the first time, he felt fear, terror.

"You're still the same coward you were back then."

Fang Xuan withdrew his foot and said, "I won't let you become a cripple, because..."

"I'm going to give you a chance to get your revenge on me."

The sinister smile on Fang Xuan's lips grew wider and wider.

"That way, I'll make you despair every time."

"This time it's the legs, next time... it could be the dantian."

After saying that, Fang Xuan turned and left.

After Fang Xuan left, Su Yang let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"Fang Xuan, you just wait, you just wait!"

......

"Young Master, you're finally back!"

Just as they arrived at the Fang family's door, a figure rushed over, carrying a brick in his hand.

It was indeed Master Zhong.

He threw down the brick, grabbed Fang Xuan's legs, and cried bitterly, "This old servant was so worried about you. If you hadn't come back, I would have fought those brats to the death."

"Alright, stop acting."

Fang Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "If you were really worried about me, you wouldn't have abandoned your young master and run away beforehand."

"Young Master!"

Grandpa Zhong was stunned for a moment, then put on a heartbroken expression.

"How could you think of this old servant like that? My name contains the character for 'loyalty,' and I am utterly loyal to you, young master, as clear as the sun and moon, and as unwavering as heaven and earth..."

Before Zhongye could finish speaking, Fang Xuan used his leg strength to knock the other man away and walked towards the Fang family.

"Oh no, oh no, have I lost the young master's favor?"

Grandpa Zhong collapsed to the ground, looking utterly devastated and heartbroken.

"What are you still kneeling on the ground for? Get your ass inside right now!"

Fang Xuan's voice rang out.

"Yes, young master!"

Grandpa Zhong immediately got up, dusted off his legs, and chuckled.

"The fact that the young master is still willing to scold me is enough to prove my status in his heart."

He quickly jogged to catch up with Fang Xuan.

"Young master, please scold this old servant a couple more times, I love to hear it."

"roll!"

"Yes, yes, that's the taste!"

Fang Xuan said irritably, "Are you asking for a beating?"

Master Zhong smiled sheepishly and said, "This old servant hasn't seen the young master for a long time and wanted to hear more of his teachings."

Stop being so cheeky.

Fang Xuan said, "Go and call Zhan Yi to come see me."

"Yes, young master."

Master Zhong readily agreed. After Fang Xuan entered the room, he turned to the guard at the door and said, "You, go and call that person to see the young master."

The guard paused for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "Didn't the young master send you, Master Zhong?"

"Dare to talk back?"

Master Zhong glared at him and said, "I am the young master's most loyal servant, responsible for protecting his safety at all times. Do you really need me, Master Zhong, to personally handle such a trivial matter?"

"No need, no need, I'll go right away."

Seeing the guard leave quickly, Master Zhong nodded in satisfaction.

"This child is teachable, this child is teachable indeed."

Soon, Zhan Yi arrived at the room.

He was about to pay his respects to Fang Xuan when he saw Master Zhong standing to the side, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"Young Master, you...Lord Zhong...when did you return?"

Master Zhong waved his hand and said, "That's not important. What the young master is about to say is what's important."

Zhan Yi's lips twitched, and he said, "May I ask what business the young master has with me?"

"There is indeed something I need you to do."

Fang Xuan picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "I need you to help me buy a batch of slaves, and it has to be done without anyone finding out."

"slave?"

Before Zhan could speak, Master Zhong said, "Young Master, you should have said so earlier. Leave this to this old servant, and I guarantee I'll bring you back ten or eight young ladies."

Zhan's face twitched even more violently.

"Shut up!"

Fang Xuan said, "The more slaves the better. They don't need to have any cultivation, but there is only one condition: absolute loyalty."

Zhan asked cautiously, "Young Master, do you intend to... train death servants?"

Fang Xuan nodded.

"The Blood Fiend Gang could come knocking at any time, so we must take this opportunity to increase our strength as much as possible."

"Young Master!"

Master Zhong knelt down in front of Fang Xuan with a thud and said, "Please, young master, entrust this matter to this old servant. Isn't it just training assassins? Even the guards were trained by this old servant. This old servant has a lot of experience."

As he spoke, he frequently gave Zhan Yi meaningful glances.

"Young Master, I also think that Master Zhong is right."

Zhan Yi said, "Besides, I've never been in contact with those slave traders, and I'm afraid it might ruin your plans, young master."

"I know it well, I know it well."

Master Zhong raised his hand and said, "Young Master, this old servant has dealt with those slave traders several times, and I can definitely buy slaves that will satisfy you."

Fang Xuan tapped his fingers on the table, a thoughtful expression on his face.

After a long while, Fang Xuan looked at Master Zhong.

"This matter can be handled by you."

Fang Xuan said in a deep voice, "But if you dare to cause any trouble, I won't let you off!"

"Please rest assured, young master!"

Master Zhong patted his chest and said confidently, "If this old servant messes things up, I'll bring my head upon myself!"
