Chapter 183: Strike Without Hesitation!
The old man was followed by four men, all wearing black robes.
After entering the conference room, the old man glanced at Fang Yu indifferently, then turned to look at Kong Cheng with a smile and said: “Chairman Kong, thank you for helping me invite him here.”
“It was just a small favor, no need to thank me,” Kong Cheng said respectfully.
How noble was the status of the Third Elder of the Zheng family! No one in the entire Jiangnan martial arts world had a higher position than him!
Before inviting Fang Yu, Kong Cheng had already discussed cooperation with the Third Elder of the Zheng family.
The reason for inviting Fang Yu was firstly to test his intentions. On the other hand, it was at the request of the Third Elder of the Zheng family.
Since the Third Elder of the Zheng family entered the conference room, the temperature of the entire room seemed to drop by several degrees.
Though the Third Elder of the Zheng family looked kind and gentle, he emanated waves of terrifying aura.
The aura of a Martial Sovereign!
Moreover, the four subordinates following the Third Elder of the Zheng family were not ordinary martial artists, but four Martial Grandmasters!
One Martial Sovereign and four Martial Grandmasters!
This was the foundation of the Zheng family!
No exaggeration, these five people alone were enough to suppress the entire Jiangnan martial arts world!
Therefore, all the high-level members of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association were particularly respectful towards the Third Elder of the Zheng family.
Fang Yu was quietly observing the old man before him.
The Third Elder of the Zheng family?
The Zheng family really spared no effort in causing trouble.
Yesterday three Zheng family guardians came, and today they sent an elder.
“Late-stage Golden Core realm cultivation… excellent.” A light flashed in Fang Yu’s eyes.
The Third Elder of the Zheng family was the person with the highest cultivation he had met in the past hundred years.
At this moment, the Third Elder of the Zheng family turned his head to look at Fang Yu and said: “I have lived for over ninety years, but this is the first time I’ve seen such an outstanding young person like you.”
“Can’t blame you, having only lived for ninety years, your experience is indeed too shallow,” Fang Yu said.
Hearing these words, everyone else’s expressions changed.
This Fang Yu, how dare he speak to the Third Elder of the Zheng family with such an attitude? Too arrogant!
But the Third Elder of the Zheng family’s expression remained unchanged as he said: “Success at a young age. When I was your age, I was like you too, thinking I was the center of the world.”
“But as I grew older, I quickly learned a truth.”
“There are always greater heights to reach, always someone better than you.”
“Not bad to have such understanding at just over ninety years old,” Fang Yu nodded.
“You!”
Seeing Fang Yu showing no respect to the Third Elder, the four Zheng family guardians behind him all had ugly expressions and couldn’t help wanting to step forward to make Fang Yu shut up.
But the Third Elder of the Zheng family raised his hand to stop them.
“The Jiangnan martial arts world is extremely weak. In the fifty years before this year, not a single person could catch my eye.”
The Third Elder of the Zheng family stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Fang Yu with indifferent eyes.
“I can say this: our Zheng family only needs to use one-third of our power to suppress the entire Jiangnan martial arts world, and no one can resist.”
Hearing the Third Elder of the Zheng family’s words, all the high-level members of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association present turned pale.
“Chairman Kong, I hope my words don’t make you uncomfortable.” At this point, the Third Elder of the Zheng family looked at Kong Cheng.
Kong Cheng’s whole body trembled as he quickly said: “Absolutely not, absolutely not. What the Third Elder said is all fact, none of us in the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association have any objections.”
The Third Elder of the Zheng family smiled faintly and looked at Fang Yu again.
“To be honest, I’m very surprised that Jiangnan could produce a martial arts genius like you.”
Fang Yu remained silent.
“At the same time, I’m also very curious about how you did it? Merely having Innate Realm cultivation yet able to defeat a Martial Sovereign… it’s unheard of, even in China’s five thousand years of history, probably no one like you exists,” the Third Elder of the Zheng family continued.
Fang Yu frowned slightly and said: “What exactly do you want to say?”
“I came to Jiangnan specially to meet you today, not to take your life. The grudge between our Zheng family and you hasn’t reached the point of no return. However…” at this point, the Third Elder of the Zheng family paused, “you must tell me the secret you possess.”
Hearing these words, Kong Cheng and other high-level members’ expressions changed slightly.
This secret was also what they wanted to know.
How did Fang Yu manage to defeat a Martial Sovereign with just Innate Realm cultivation!
“If you’re willing to tell the truth, our Zheng family will absolutely not make things difficult for you. On the contrary, from now on, you’ll be our Zheng family’s honored guest. If you’re willing, we can even make you a guest elder of our Zheng family,” the Third Elder of the Zheng family said, looking at Fang Yu.
But Fang Yu raised his eyebrows and said: “Secret? What secret do I have?”
The Third Elder of the Zheng family smiled and shook his head, saying: “In my view, in the path of martial arts, there is no distinction between righteous and evil, only between strength and weakness.”
“Fang Yu, here you can directly tell us about the evil cultivation technique you’ve mastered, I can guarantee that no one present will speak of it outside.”
Evil cultivation technique!?
Hearing these words, everyone present changed their expressions!
So Fang Yu’s incredible strength relied on evil cultivation techniques?
“No wonder… no wonder at such a young age his strength is so terrifying! I knew it was impossible to achieve this with existing martial arts methods!” Kong Cheng looked at Fang Yu with shock.
And after the shock, many people’s eyes showed disdain when looking at Fang Yu.
Evil cultivation techniques were the most despised methods among martial artists. Because all evil cultivation techniques followed one principle: harming others for self-benefit.
Since martial arts appeared in China, evil cultivators had been like rats crossing the street, everyone shouting to beat them.
Even if one obtained great power through evil cultivation techniques, they would never gain respect.
“Who told you I mastered evil cultivation techniques?” Fang Yu asked.
“There’s no need to deny this point. As far as I know, this was what Gu Rulong said before you killed him,” the Third Elder of the Zheng family said slowly.
“Fang Yu, you actually used evil cultivation techniques to kill our Jiangnan martial arts world’s once-in-a-century sovereign! Such a crime is enough to put you in the heavenly prison for life!” Kong Cheng couldn’t help but angrily say.
Heavenly prison?
Fang Yu’s eyes suddenly turned cold as he glanced at Kong Cheng.
Kong Cheng felt a chill rise from his feet, as if he had fallen into an ice cave!
“Fang Yu, no need to get angry. I said before, as long as you truthfully tell me about the evil cultivation technique you’ve mastered, I absolutely won’t let today’s matter spread. Moreover, from now on, you’ll be our Zheng family’s friend,” the Third Elder of the Zheng family said calmly.
Fang Yu looked at the Third Elder of the Zheng family and said coldly: “What defines an evil cultivation technique? Do you know the definition?”
The Third Elder of the Zheng family frowned slightly and said: “You absorb others’ cultivation for your own use, this is definitely an evil cultivation technique, no definition needed.”
“Know nothing but pretend to be an expert?” Fang Yu coldly smiled and said.
Hearing these words, even the Third Elder of the Zheng family’s face showed some displeasure.
His expression darkened as he said: “It seems you don’t want to become friends with our Zheng family?”
“Your Zheng family doesn’t qualify to be my friend,” Fang Yu said coldly.
His mood had been good today, but it was completely ruined by Kong Cheng’s earlier words.
Although the matter of the Heavenly Dao Sect was long ago, he still couldn’t let it go.
Now, just hearing anything related to prison would trigger the resentment accumulated in his heart.
“It seems I’ve wasted my breath.” The Third Elder of the Zheng family’s eyes turned vicious as his aura suddenly erupted!
“Boom!”
The nearby conference table and chairs were directly blown away!
A powerful force spread in all directions!
The martial artists present had to release their true qi just to barely stand steady.
At this moment, the Third Elder of the Zheng family no longer had his previous kind and gentle appearance, his entire demeanor became sharp and ruthless.
Fang Yu’s expression was indifferent, his eyes equally cold.
“Fang Yu, if you think you can defeat other Martial Sovereigns because you defeated Gu Rulong, you’re greatly mistaken,” the Third Elder of the Zheng family said coldly. “Gu Rulong was just a newly advanced Martial Sovereign, his realm wasn’t even stable, and the techniques he practiced were inferior.”
“If he stood before me, I would only need one finger to kill him, he wouldn’t even have a chance to dodge.”
“Oh? Are you that strong?” Fang Yu raised his eyebrows and asked.
The Third Elder of the Zheng family’s expression was indifferent as he raised his right hand, pointing his index finger directly at Fang Yu.
“You now have the chance to experience it.”
