Chapter 318 Mastering the Power of the Divine Dragon!
I just said, no matter who the other party is, I won’t care. I must avenge my third brother!” Zheng Yan said coldly.
“But, Grand Elder…” Zheng Rong wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the glances from the Second and Fourth Elders.
“Rong, since becoming the family head, you’ve become less spirited, too hesitant in your actions. This is not a good sign.” Zheng Yan looked at Zheng Rong and shook his head slightly.
Zheng Rong’s face alternated between pale and flushed, momentarily at a loss for words.
“Since I’ve made public the matter of my third brother’s death, I’ve prepared to seek revenge. With our Zheng family’s profound foundation, if we don’t dare to move against even a small child at the Innate Realm, where is our dignity?” Zheng Yan said, raising his white eyebrows.
“Grand Elder, I was only thinking of…” Zheng Rong tried to explain.
“I know your concerns, but you should have confidence in me and in our Zheng family’s foundation,” Zheng Yan said calmly. “Have you forgotten the secret technique left to our Zheng family by that master years ago, which can only be mastered by those who reach the Martial Saint Realm?”
Zheng Rong’s expression changed.
“Actually, I successfully broke through to the Martial Saint Realm half a year ago, and during my subsequent six months in seclusion, I’ve been comprehending that secret technique. By the time I emerged recently, I had finally cultivated that technique to a small accomplishment.”
“The profundity of that secret technique is truly astonishing. I’m eager to test its power.”
“And the master behind Fang Yu is just qualified to be my whetstone.”
As Zheng Yan spoke, his eyes were full of confidence and pride.
He was already confident in his abilities, and now having mastered a heaven-defying secret technique, he feared nothing.
He even believed that at the same realm, no one could be his match!
“Grand Elder, could you demonstrate this secret technique for us to broaden our horizons?” Zheng Xiuchen asked.
“Haha, this secret technique cannot be demonstrated, otherwise this entire mansion wouldn’t survive! If you want to broaden your horizons, find Fang Yu quickly.” Zheng Yan laughed.
Seeing Zheng Yan so confident, Zheng Xiuchen and Yang Yinzhu exchanged glances.
Yang Yinzhu’s face was filled with a pleased smile, her eyes full of venom.
Now, the only thing she needed to do was dispatch people to find Fang Yu!
Once Fang Yu was found, she could have her revenge and dispel the nightmare that had haunted her for so long!
…
After the Zheng family banquet, Huaibei was once again thrown into turmoil.
The Zheng family’s Third Elder had fallen, killed by a young man named Fang Yu!
And after emerging from seclusion, the first thing the Zheng family’s Grand Elder did was to call for Fang Yu’s punishment, to avenge the Zheng family’s Third Elder!
He requested all major families in Huaibei to help search for Fang Yu’s whereabouts, promising rewards from the Zheng family to whoever found him!
The representatives who attended the Zheng family banquet returned to their families and immediately conveyed the Grand Elder’s intentions.
This news spread like a wild storm throughout Huaibei in an extremely short time, affecting both the secular and martial worlds!
Even distant Jiangnan was affected!
That day, every family and every person was talking about the Zheng family and Fang Yu!
Meanwhile, each family dispatched their forces to search for Fang Yu throughout Huaibei and even the entire Jiuzhou Nation!
…
While things were heating up outside, Fang Yu was in his apartment, continuing to refine the Dragon Power.
To prevent disturbances, he turned off his phone and left it on the living room table.
Good work takes time. To completely refine the Dragon Power would require more time, but Fang Yu wasn’t in a hurry.
Soon, a month passed.
During this time, all of Huaibei was searching for Fang Yu’s whereabouts.
Since Fang Yu had never left his apartment, those looking for him had no leads.
There were even rumors that Fang Yu had received the news and fled the Huaibei region.
…
In a villa in Nandu.
A girl who looked only thirteen or fourteen sat on the sofa in the villa’s hall, eating a lollipop and playing a mobile game.
A middle-aged man in his thirties sat opposite her, his brows furrowed.
“Zhi’er, Fang Yu hasn’t appeared for over a month now. What did the higher-ups say? Are we still going to stay in Nandu waiting for him?”
The girl called Zhi’er looked up at the man and said in a childish voice: “What else can we do? Just wait.”
“Given the current situation, if Fang Yu really dares to appear, he’ll probably be dealt with by the Zheng family immediately. We wouldn’t even get there in time…” the man said.
“Wu Neng, I find you’re really a bit useless. Why do you always have so many worries? Can’t you just sleep and take care of your appearance in your spare time? Look at you, not even thirty-five yet, and already going bald.” Zhi’er said mercilessly.
Wu Neng’s face alternated between red and green as he touched his thinning hair, glaring angrily at Zhi’er.
This girl had the face of a cute angel, but her words were always as sharp as knives.
Yet Wu Neng couldn’t retort!
Not just because Zhi’er was a girl, but because her rank within the Order was one level higher than his!
…
Another half month passed.
Fang Yu finished refining the last bit of Dragon Power and opened his eyes.
If anyone had entered Fang Yu’s room, they would have been stunned speechless by the scene.
At this moment, Fang Yu’s entire body was glowing with dazzling golden light.
A golden dragon circled around his body.
Fang Yu sat cross-legged in mid-air, his pupils burning like fierce flames, radiating brilliant light.
The Dragon Power had completely merged into Fang Yu’s body.
Every inch of Fang Yu’s flesh, including his true qi, now carried the aura of the divine dragon.
“Further refining the Dragon Power is equivalent to the one hundred and second tempering of my body.”
“My physical body now…”
Fang Yu looked down at his hands, his eyes flickering.
A moment later, he completely withdrew the true qi into his body.
The dazzling golden light in the room, along with the breathtaking golden dragon, finally disappeared.
“The Dragon Power is too extravagant, even turning my true qi golden… all flash and no substance.” Fang Yu shook his head and said.
Fang Yu walked to the living room, drank a glass of water, then opened the refrigerator to find it empty.
Hungry and thirsty, he decided to go downstairs for something to eat.
Before leaving, he picked up his phone that had been off for over a month and turned it on.
As soon as he turned on the phone, Fang Yu saw dozens of missed call records.
Qin Yimo, Xia Xiaoying, Xia Heguang, Tang Xiaorou, Tang Mingde, Ji Rumei…
Almost everyone he knew had called him.
“What’s going on?”
Although this seclusion had taken longer than usual, it shouldn’t have caused so many people to look for him.
Fang Yu thought for a moment, then called Xia Xiaoying back first.
Generally speaking, Xia Xiaoying only contacted him for important matters.
The call connected quickly.
“Fang Yu, where are you now?” Xia Xiaoying asked, her tone somewhat urgent.
“Huaibei Nandu,” Fang Yu answered.
“You’re in Nandu!? This month… do you know what happened?” Xia Xiaoying paused, then asked.
“What happened? I’ve been in seclusion recently,” Fang Yu asked.
“The Zheng family of Huaibei… is searching for your whereabouts! The Zheng family’s Grand Elder has broken through to the Martial Saint Realm and has specifically named you to avenge the Zheng family’s Third Elder! Not just the Zheng family, all major families in Huaibei are looking for you now!” Xia Xiaoying said excitedly.
“The Zheng family?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow, recalling the Zheng family’s Third Elder he had encountered at the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association.
He had been wondering why there had been no movement from the Zheng family for so long.
“Alright, I understand,” Fang Yu replied.
“What are you going to do? If you don’t want to confront the Zheng family directly, you can return to Jiangnan immediately. General Xia will arrange everything for you…” Xia Xiaoying said.
“It’s fine, let them come find me if they want. I’ve been bored lately anyway,” Fang Yu said.
“…Are you sure you want to do this? The Zheng family’s power…” Xia Xiaoying started but didn’t finish.
She knew Fang Yu’s strength and personality; saying more would be pointless.
“I’ve said what I needed to say. Do as you see fit.” With that, Xia Xiaoying hung up.
Fang Yu held his phone, slowly walking downstairs, selectively returning calls.
“Weren’t you supposed to get your sword back? Why did you suddenly disappear?” Qin Yimo said irritably.
“I was in seclusion for a while. Where is my sword now?” Fang Yu asked.
