Chapter 1013 The Fury of the Northern Capital’s Martial Arts World

 

“This Fang Yu is truly lawless! Yesterday it was the top families, today it’s the top sects, and tomorrow, will it be our turn!”

“Fang Yu’s existence is a disgrace to North Capital! Such an arrogant individual who disregards all rules shouldn’t be allowed to roam freely!”

“We should gather all our forces and find a way to control this person! We cannot allow him to continue his misdeeds…”

At once, voices calling for Fang Yu’s punishment spread throughout North Capital’s martial arts community.

Various factions were speaking out, each fearing they might be Fang Yu’s next target.

Some even proposed uniting all elite forces to launch a major operation against Fang Yu.

…

While the outside world was in an uproar, Fang Yu was sitting face to face with Huai Xu, drinking tea in Yinlin Manor.

As the two conversed, Zheng Ze also arrived at the teahouse.

Upon seeing Fang Yu, Zheng Ze immediately bowed with clasped hands.

“Mr. Fang.”

“How’s the situation?” Huai Xu looked at Zheng Ze and asked.

“This time, Mr. Fang seems to have provoked widespread anger…” Zheng Ze glanced at Fang Yu and said, “The alliance from Great Western Forest says they want to capture Fang Yu and bring him back for trial… Small Eastern Mountain has also responded.”

“I know about Great Western Forest, but what is Small Eastern Mountain?” Fang Yu looked at Zheng Ze and asked.

“Small Eastern Mountain refers to the sects in the eastern mountain area of North Capital,” Huai Xu answered.

“Why is the western area called Great Western Forest while the eastern area is called Small Eastern Mountain? The contrast sounds too obvious, doesn’t it?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.

“It’s like this, Mr. Fang. Among North Capital’s sects, seventy percent are built in the western forest area, and only thirty percent in the eastern mountain area. So, the two sides have this difference in naming, also for better distinction,” Zheng Ze explained.

“Then it seems the sects built in Small Eastern Mountain got the short end of the stick. They’re inexplicably considered inferior to Great Western Forest,” Fang Yu said with a smile.

“In terms of overall strength, Great Western Forest has many powerful sects, while the sects in Small Eastern Mountain are mostly mid to low-tier in power… so, no one minds this naming convention,” Zheng Ze said.

Fang Yu nodded and said nothing more.

Huai Xu looked at Fang Yu and said, “Brother Fang, you’ve really stirred up a hornet’s nest this time… The sect world is different from family clans. As they’ve been declining, they’ve become increasingly united.”

“I really didn’t make the first move. It was that Three Condensation True Person who attacked me… which led to the current situation,” Fang Yu said helplessly.

“At this point, discussing who made the first move is meaningless,” Huai Xu said. “But one thing is certain: the sect world won’t let this go, and they might even come looking for me.”

“They can make whatever fuss they want, as long as they don’t do it in front of me,” Fang Yu said calmly. “If they really bring their trouble to my face, I’ll have to silence the entire sect world.”

After speaking, Fang Yu took a sip of tea, looked at Huai Xu, and suddenly remembered something.

“Huai Xu, who did you give the Taisui Armor I gave you?” Fang Yu asked.

Huai Xu, who was pouring tea for Fang Yu, paused slightly.

“Ouyang Xiuyuan took it, right?” Fang Yu asked.

Huai Xu finished pouring tea into Fang Yu’s cup, sat back down, and nodded slightly, answering, “Brother Fang, I did give the Taisui Armor to Xiuyuan.”

“Why?” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and said, “Did he beg you? Was he persistent?”

Huai Xu looked at Fang Yu, sighed, and said, “Brother Fang, I know you’re very dissatisfied with Xiuyuan…”

“I’m not blaming you. When I gave you the Taisui Armor in front of him, I already anticipated he would ask you for it,” Fang Yu said. “I’m just curious about what reason he used to ask you for the Taisui Armor.”

After a moment of silence, Huai Xu answered, “He said he would give the Taisui Armor to his son, Ouyang Chengdao, to merge with it.”

“And you just gave it to him?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.

Huai Xu picked up his teacup and took a sip.

When Ouyang Xiuyuan came to him, he said many things.

He would have preferred to return the Taisui Armor to Fang Yu rather than give it to Ouyang Xiuyuan.

But in the end, Ouyang Xiuyuan knelt down before him…

This reminded Huai Xu of many years ago, when he was forced to kneel before a rich family’s son in their town… and Ouyang Xiuyuan rushed out to save him, and they were beaten together.

Ouyang Xiuyuan had gone to such lengths, leaving himself no way out.

If Huai Xu refused, it would mean their years of friendship would vanish in an instant.

Huai Xu wasn’t a saint; he was quite sentimental about old relationships.

Therefore, even knowing Fang Yu wouldn’t want him to do so, he still gave the Taisui Armor to Ouyang Xiuyuan.

“The older one gets, the more one cherishes old friendships. Brother Fang, this is truly my weakness, but I can no longer change it,” Huai Xu said.

Fang Yu didn’t say anything, just turned to look outside.

He could take back the Taisui Armor anytime he wanted.

But right now, he just wanted to see what Ouyang Xiuyuan was planning to do.

Let Ouyang Chengdao merge with the Taisui Armor?

Although it could greatly enhance physical strength, this would be a waste of good material.

With Ouyang Chengdao’s limited cultivation, wearing the Taisui Armor wouldn’t make him a top-tier expert.

Given Ouyang Xiuyuan’s ambition, he didn’t take the Taisui Armor just for his son to use.

“Let’s wait and see what Ouyang Xiuyuan will do,” Fang Yu turned back and said to Huai Xu.

…

North Capital, Yulan Pavilion Club.

Ouyang Xiuyuan sat on a stone bench on the top-floor terrace, looking relaxed with a smile on his face, clearly in a good mood.

“Dad, I heard that Fang Yu’s actions this time have provoked widespread anger. Now the sects from Great Western Forest and Small Eastern Mountain are uniting to punish him…” Ouyang Chengdao said beside him.

Ouyang Xiuyuan gave a cold laugh and said, “Fang Yu truly doesn’t take North Capital’s martial arts community seriously…”

“Dad, do you think the major sects uniting together have a chance to… deal with Fang Yu?” Ouyang Chengdao asked hesitantly.

Ouyang Xiuyuan shook his head and said, “Definitely not.”

“Even the entire sect world united can’t sanction Fang Yu?” Ouyang Chengdao asked in surprise.

“With Fang Yu’s strength, even if he can’t win, he can certainly escape,” Ouyang Xiuyuan said. “Of course, if there are enough powerful experts, they might have a chance to capture Fang Yu.”

As he spoke, Ouyang Xiuyuan stood up, smiled, and continued, “How does that saying go?”

“If you want someone to perish, first make them go mad.”

“Fang Yu is already on the path to destruction.”

Ouyang Xiuyuan smiled with great satisfaction.

Recently, when news spread that Fang Yu openly supported the Lin family, it made Ouyang Xiuyuan furious.

He had thought Fang Yu disliked getting involved in family affairs.

But it turned out that Fang Yu simply didn’t want to help him!

Yet he was wholeheartedly supporting the Lin family!

Now, to support the Lin family, Fang Yu had trampled on North Capital’s top families and made his move at Xuanyuan Gate, provoking widespread anger!

The entire North Capital martial arts community couldn’t sit still anymore!

Fang Yu had offended everyone and would inevitably face backlash, no matter how strong he was!

“Now we just need to focus on our plan. Fang Yu has no energy to pay attention to us,” Ouyang Xiuyuan said with a sinister look. “The deal with Mr. Ji… has been finalized.”

“This time we can hide in the background and let our helpers clear obstacles for us!”

“Before Fang Yu’s downfall, we can’t move in North Capital, but other regions… must all be integrated into our Ouyang family’s hands.”

After speaking, Ouyang Xiuyuan couldn’t help but smile again, shaking his head.

Fang Yu… I want to see how you’ll bear the wrath of the entire North Capital martial arts community!

…

“Lord Fang, yesterday’s incident has blown up!”

Fang Yu was resting on the top floor of the bamboo building when Su Changge suddenly appeared behind him, running over.

“Don’t make a fuss. I already know,” Fang Yu said.

“The main thing is they’re holding a joint meeting! The two major alliances of Great Western Forest and Small Eastern Mountain, as well as North Capital’s major families, have all sent representatives to attend,” Su Changge said. “And the meeting’s topic is about how to deal with you.”

“A meeting? How many people are attending?” Fang Yu asked.

“You could say… representatives from the top hundred sects in the sect world are all attending,” Su Changge said. “And from the family side, at least fifty or sixty families…”

“Do you know where the meeting is being held?” Fang Yu asked.
