"Get over here and apologize to the Fang Family!" The angry voice echoed as a middle-aged man strode over from a distance.
"Uncle Li!" Upon seeing this man, the three youths immediately brightened up. However, as they listened to his furious words, Zhao Lie, dressed in a bright yellow robe, felt his expression stiffen slightly.
"It's just a small Fang Family in Fengyan City. The Royal Zhao Family coming here is already giving them a huge favor. One lowly maid dies, and they expect me to personally apologize?" Zhao Lie scoffed, his expression dismissive.
"This Fang Family actually dares to keep us under house arrest again; it's simply outrageous. Uncle Li, why don't you take us out to deal with them? It's just two guys barely entering the Alchemy Realm. If they dare to act, we can wipe them out easily." Zhao Gang said eagerly from the side.
As members of the Royal Zhao Family, they naturally felt a sense of superiority, especially when facing a weak family like the Fang Family in such a remote place as Fengyan City. Even though Fang Chen had entered the Ziyang Sect and became one of its disciples, this deeply ingrained sense of superiority made them look down on the Fang Family despite their visit being meant to offer congratulations.
In their eyes, they had merely played with a little maid from the Fang Family; there was no need for such a fuss.
"Shut up!" Uncle Li shouted angrily. He looked at Zhao Lie and the others with an expression that conveyed disappointment: "If it were just one person from the Fang Family who happened to enter the Ziyang Sect, would the Royal Zhao Family need to rush all the way to such a remote place?"
"Could it be that more than one person from the Fang Family entered the Ziyang Sect?" Zhao Ye raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise. However, there was still a hint of skepticism in his expression.
Although entering the Ziyang Sect and becoming one of its disciples was indeed an impressive achievement—considered a leap to success within the Great Zhao Kingdom—it wasn't particularly rare for the Zhao Family. After all, every time the Ziyang Sect recruited disciples, there were always some from the Zhao Family who succeeded.
Sometimes two or three people would make it in; other times six or seven. Over several recruitment rounds, there were already quite a few members of the Zhao Family within the Ziyang Sect. Therefore, even if someone from such a remote place as the Fang Family became a disciple of the Ziyang Sect, it wasn't something particularly astonishing in their eyes. From the beginning, Zhao Lie and his companions had not regarded the Fang Family seriously.
"Indeed, only one person from the Fang Family entered the Ziyang Sect, but he is not an ordinary individual. You should have heard about it; during the final segment of this year's entrance trials for the Ziyang Sect, there was someone ruthless who nearly wiped out all Hunters and even attracted attention from powerful beings in the Heavenly Realm," Uncle Li suddenly said solemnly.
"Uncle Li, you can't be saying that ruthless person is this one from the Fang Family," Zhao Gang laughed, still wearing an expression of disbelief. Clearly, he did not believe that this person could be Fang Chen, the only one from the Fang Family who entered the Ziyang Sect.
How could someone from such a remote place possibly possess such freakish strength?
"Uncle Li, why did you suddenly mention that person?" Zhao Ye asked, looking at Uncle Li with confusion.
"That person indeed has the surname Fang." Just as Zhao Ye turned his gaze to Uncle Li, the latter suddenly spoke these words leisurely.
As soon as this statement fell, Zhao Lie and the others twitched their eyes simultaneously, and an unnatural expression appeared on their faces.
To be able to create such a sensation single-handedly, one can imagine how powerful that ruthless person must be. Such a person, once they enter Ziyang Sect, will definitely not be ordinary and will quickly soar to great heights. If the person from Fang Family who entered Ziyang Sect is indeed this individual, then...
Thinking of this, Zhao Lie shivered involuntarily, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes; he dared not think any further.
However, at that moment, Uncle Li gently said, "That person’s name is Fang Chen."
"Fang... Fang Chen!" Zhao Gang stammered.
At this point, the proud expression on his face had completely vanished, replaced by immense shock.
He knew very well that with Fang Chen's displayed strength during the trials in Ziyang Sect, he was even more of a freak than a freak. Such a person, even if just one individual, is far more important than thousands of ordinary people. If Fang Family truly had someone like him, given what they had done, their lives would be ruined.
Because the Zhao Family would never protect themselves because of such a freak; instead, they would likely punish all three of them to appease Fang Chen's wrath. Although he was not Zhao Lie and was not the killer of Fang Chen's personal maid, he knew that his future would also be bleak.
As for Zhao Lie's situation? At this moment, Zhao Gang no longer wanted to think about it. His heart was filled with endless regret and fear. No one understood better than him that while the title of Royal Zhao Family sounded impressive and even a servant from Zhao Family would receive respect and reverence when they went out, beneath this grand facade, the internal competition within Zhao Family was extremely fierce and could even be described as brutal.
Originally, their positions among the three were quite decent; this trip to Fengyan City was supposed to be an opportunity for them. But now, that opportunity was gone and had turned into a nightmare.
"Zhao Lie!" At the thought of this, intense hatred and resentment surged in Zhao Gang's heart. All of this was because Zhao Lie had taken a fancy to someone's personal maid and forced her into a corner, ultimately leading to her tragic end.
Zhao Gang turned his head, and a hateful gaze immediately fell upon Zhao Lie.
However, at this moment, Zhao Lie showed no signs of awareness. He stood there in a daze, his eyes vacant, repeatedly murmuring, "Impossible, impossible, impossible..."
"Zhao Lie!" Seeing this scene, Uncle Li frowned and shouted loudly.
The shout, infused with a hint of Dan Qi, echoed in Zhao Lie's ears like thunder, jolting him and causing him to shudder violently. His previously vacant gaze suddenly became clear.
"Uncle Li, what should we do? What should we do?" Zhao Lie panicked, his expression now filled with fear and anxiety, completely different from his earlier indifference. How could he not know what Zhao Gang was aware of? As the root cause of this incident, if the Zhao Family wanted to quell Fang Chen's anger, he would undoubtedly become a sacrificial pawn.
He didn't want to die!
"Don't panic!" Uncle Li commanded.
His voice resonated like a great bell, calming Zhao Lie and the others slightly.
"Once you enter Ziyang Sect, it's not so easy to come out. Moreover, although Fang Chen is incredibly powerful, he has offended many people within Ziyang Sect. Now that he has entered a secret realm, whether he can come out alive is still a question," Uncle Li analyzed.
Many members of the Zhao Family had entered Ziyang Sect; therefore, they received intelligence about events occurring there periodically. Naturally, information regarding Fang Chen was included. However, it was clear that the timeliness of this information was somewhat outdated. At this moment, the Zhao Family had no idea that the Fang Chen they spoke of had already exited the Colorful Sacred Realm and left Ziyang Sect, heading towards Fengyan City!
"Whether he can come out alive is still a question..." Zhao Lie murmured Uncle Li's words to himself. The light in his eyes grew brighter as the fear on his face gradually transformed into malice.
"He should never come out." He cursed.
Not only him; beside him, both Zhao Gang and Zhao Ye, who were originally somewhat lost in thought, now wore similar expressions. The three of them looked remarkably alike.
A living genius is still a genius, but once dead, who cares whether you were a genius or how much potential you had? Dust to dust. If Fang Chen were alive, the Zhao Family would likely take severe measures to win him over and quell his anger. However, if Fang Chen were dead, this matter would never be mentioned again.
Seeing the expressions of the three, Uncle Li shook his head slightly and said, "No one knows if Fang Chen can come out alive. However, in the meantime, you should go to the Fang Family and apologize sincerely. Better safe than sorry; if you can calm their anger first, then if Fang Chen really does come out alive, you might feel a bit better about it. Moreover, Ancestor Yuan should be arriving soon. If he finds out what you have done, he will certainly not let you off lightly."
As soon as the name Ancestor Yuan was mentioned, Zhao Lie and the others' expressions changed slightly, fear evident on their faces.
Their journey was not just about the four of them; the most powerful among them was not Uncle Li at the Late Stage of Transformation Realm but Ancestor Yuan, a strong figure in the Primordial Embryo Realm!
However, on their way to Fengyan City, Ancestor Yuan had encountered some issues and left to handle them. Now that those matters were resolved, he was making his way to Fengyan City. With the speed of a Primordial Embryo Realm expert, he would arrive soon. Given Ancestor Yuan's hatred for evil, Zhao Lie and his companions might find themselves in trouble.
"Uncle Li is right," Zhao Lie said as he nodded quickly.
After that, without needing further prompting, the three hurried toward the Fang Family.
Although they were currently in one of the many courtyards of the Fang Family, it was clearly not the main residence. However, it wasn't far from the Fang Residence either. With their speed, they would reach it quickly.
At this moment, they clearly did not realize that someone they had been discussing earlier had already arrived at the Fang Residence before them.
