Gray Wind swept through the courtyard, carrying a heavy aura of death.
The vibrant flowers and plants instantly turned a shade of ashen gray, wilting rapidly. Fang Zheng Tian and Fang Qingshan's gazes were completely frozen, their hearts filled with shock.
Although the Gray Wind and the deathly aura in the air did not invade their bodies at all under Fang Chen's control, as warriors of the Alchemy Realm, they could clearly sense the energy permeating the surroundings, filled with a deathly presence. If it were to truly erupt, it would be enough to completely annihilate them both. And this was merely the momentum emanating from Fang Chen!
While they knew their grandson was strong, at this moment, both Fang Zheng Tian and Fang Qingshan were deeply shaken. Though they were also in the Alchemy Realm, compared to Fang Chen, there was an insurmountable gap between them.
Fang Chen's power, under normal circumstances, would have made Fang Zheng Tian and Fang Qingshan ecstatic. However, right now, they felt no joy; instead, they were extremely worried. Given Fang Chen's displayed strength, he was already capable of killing the only Late Stage of Transformation Realm warrior sent by the Royal Zhao Family. Moreover, if Fang Chen were to completely lose control under Frenzy's Killing Intent, even they would be powerless to stop him. To them, this was undoubtedly a disaster.
Chan'er was dead; did they not want revenge? The stalemate over these days had been incredibly painful for them.
But could they seek revenge?
The words "Royal Zhao Family" loomed like a mountain before the Fang Family, nearly impossible to overcome. Even if they aimed to eliminate just one Late Stage of Transformation Realm Zhao Li with the current strength of the Fang Residence, it would not be difficult. As for Zhao Lie and his two companions at the Qi Boundary, it would be even easier. However, if they proceeded with such actions, it was highly likely that powerful members of the Royal Zhao Family would descend upon Fengyan City in a very short time and wipe out the entire Fang Family.
Fang Zheng Tian and Fang Qingshan understood that this was not mere paranoia; if Zhao Lie and others were killed in Fengyan City, such an outcome was very likely to occur—perhaps even inevitable.
This was also why two days had passed since Chan'er's incident, yet Zhao Lie and his companions were still alive and well; at most, they had only been temporarily confined in Fengyan City by the Fang Family's half-hearted measures. More aggressive actions had not been taken.
If Fang Chen were to lose control now and kill Zhao Lie and his companions, it would spell disaster for the Fang Family. In the Great Zhao Kingdom, offending the Royal Zhao Family meant there would be nowhere for them to escape. This was precisely what Fang Zheng Tian and Fang Qingshan feared most.
"Cheng'er, calm down!" Fang Zheng Tian shouted sternly.
A voice mixed with a hint of Dan Qi erupted, rolling forth like thunder in Fang Chen's ears. At the moment that voice sounded, the gray wind filled with a strong aura of death that had been raging in the courtyard gradually dissipated. The overwhelming killing intent emanating from Fang Chen's body also began to fade little by little. However, this fading was not a complete disappearance; rather, it was being forcefully condensed and compressed. Once triggered, it would erupt with even greater terror.
"Grandfather, Father, where are Zhao Lie and the others now?" A hoarse voice emerged from Fang Chen's lips.
At this moment, he bore no chilling killing intent, and his handsome face showed no trace of deep-seated malice. He appeared calm and indifferent, looking relatively normal. Yet, the more he seemed this way, the heavier the worry in Fang Zheng Tian and Fang Qingshan's hearts became. They would have preferred Fang Chen to cause a scene; his calmness instead felt like an impending storm.
They certainly knew where Zhao Lie and the others were now, but could they tell Fang Chen? If they did, it was likely that Fang Chen would rush over to kill them immediately.
"I'm sorry, Cheng'er." Fang Zheng Tian shook his head, his face aging considerably in that instant.
Enemies were ahead, yet they were so concerned about the safety of the Fang Family that they didn't dare to inform Fang Chen, fearing he might go on a rampage. This was a great sorrow for them.
His gaze flickered slightly; after hesitating for a moment, Fang Qingshan opened his mouth as if to persuade him. However, at that moment, a clear voice suddenly came from the entrance of Fang Residence: "Zhao Li has come to visit!"
"Zhao Li!"
As soon as those words were spoken, both Fang Zheng Tian and Fang Qingshan's expressions changed simultaneously. They exchanged glances and noticed each other's faces wore an extremely bitter smile.
They had done everything possible to keep Fang Chen calm and not reveal where Zhao Lie and the others were. Yet here came Zhao Li at such a critical moment, bringing Zhao Lie and the other three to their residence.
Why did he come now of all times?
Wasn't this asking for death?!
Fang Zheng Tian and Fang Qingshan sighed and shook their heads helplessly. At this point, they understood very well that things had already exceeded their control; they could no longer contain it.
"The death of Chan'er is indeed the responsibility of the Fang Family; we owe an apology to Cheng'er. Go ahead, kill me," Fang Zheng Tian rasped, his once radiant face now suddenly aged by more than ten years. "At worst, we will continue to flee in the future. The world is vast; is there not a place for the Fang Family? Besides, Cheng'er has already joined the Ziyang Sect. The Zhao Family wouldn't dare to do anything to him. It's worth it..."
"Father..." Seeing Fang Zheng Tian like this, Fang Qingshan felt a pang of pain in his heart.
"Let's go. If we are to act, we must do so decisively and leave no room for future troubles. We cannot let Cheng'er suffer," Fang Zheng Tian said seriously, glancing at the spot where Fang Chen had disappeared. Without hesitation, he moved forward and strode out of the Fang Residence.
At the entrance of the Fang Residence.
Looking at the tightly closed doors, the group of guards exchanged angry glances. Although they had come to apologize, Zhao Lie and others couldn't help but feel a surge of unnamed anger.
We have come to apologize, which is already giving them face. Yet this small Fang Family dares to treat us like this, not even opening the door? Do they really think they are something? Moreover, even a group of guards dares to glare at them; don't they fear having their eyes gouged out?!
"This Fang Family is simply too arrogant. Just a few insignificant guards, like ants, dare to look at us like that. Watch me kill them!" Zhao Gang shouted angrily. With that, he took a big step forward with a fierce expression on his face, heading towards several guards by the door.
The guards of the Fang Residence were all figures at the Body Refinement Realm. With Zhao Gang's Qi Boundary cultivation level, he could easily crush them all.
Seeing Zhao Gang in a rage, Zhao Li furrowed his brow slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing across his face as he considered whether to dissuade Zhao Gang. They were here to apologize, not to provoke; what kind of behavior was it to incapacitate someone else's guards right at their doorstep?
However... looking at those still tightly closed doors, Zhao Li couldn't help but feel a flicker of anger rising within him.
Although they were extremely cautious towards the Fang Family because of Fang Chen, otherwise they wouldn't have brought Zhao Lie and others here to apologize, their identity as the Royal Zhao Family still instilled in them a sense of superiority that seemed ingrained in their bones. Moreover, according to information from Ziyang Sect, whether Fang Chen was alive or dead was still unknown. Thus, amidst their growing anger, this sense of superiority became even more pronounced.
Furrowing his brow and watching Zhao Gang about to lash out in anger, a strange light flashed in Zhao Li's eyes. He then raised his head without looking in Zhao Gang's direction or speaking out against him, seemingly tacitly approving of Zhao Gang's actions.
"Unaware of their own situation." As he looked at the tightly closed courtyard gates before him, these four words flashed through Zhao Li's mind.
"Dog thing, remember to open your eyes in the next life. Know who you can offend and who you cannot!" Zhao Gang had already arrived in front of several guards from the Fang Residence. He grinned savagely, his Qi Energy surging rapidly within him. His palm, the size of a fan, radiated a severe aura as it swung heavily towards the guards.
At that moment, the air seemed to explode, a piercing sound of air bursting echoed through the area. Seeing the guards from the Fang Residence change their expressions drastically, a cruel smile spread across Zhao Gang's face. With his mid-level Qi Boundary cultivation, dealing with a few Body Refinement Realm warriors was far too easy. Moreover, he had no intention of holding back with this strike; once it landed on the guards, it would shatter bones and turn flesh into a bloody mess.
How dare the small Fang Family challenge him? He would first incapacitate these watchdogs!
However, just when Zhao Gang's palm filled with severe Qi Energy was less than an arm's length away from the guards, his body suddenly froze. A force of Heaven and Earth Power that others could hardly perceive completely suppressed him.
"Uh... hss..."
The cruel smile on his face abruptly stiffened. Zhao Gang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but all that came out were a few powerless syllables.
"What the hell, Zhao Gang? What are you doing? Hurry up and take care of these lackeys!" Zhao Lie sneered from the side.
The Heaven and Earth Power enveloping Zhao Gang was imperceptible to them due to their cultivation levels. Therefore, in Zhao Lie's eyes, Zhao Gang's current mutation was entirely self-inflicted.
"What am I doing? You...!" If Zhao Gang could speak at that moment, he would have surely cursed loudly. But right now, all that remained in his heart was endless fear. His body had become immobile. Moreover, an incredibly terrifying aura was gradually enveloping him, pulling both his body and spirit towards the abyss of death. An unmistakable look of horror emerged in Zhao Gang's eyes and on his face.
