Chapter 801: The Death of Fang Chengtian!
The representatives of various families who were engaged in heated discussion all turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound.
Two figures appeared at the stairway entrance.
It was a young man and woman, both wearing blue robes.
Both were glaring at Fang Yu with bloodshot eyes, filled with hatred.
Many people immediately recognized the identity of this pair.
The woman was the Wei family’s little princess, Wei Zhiling. The man was one of the Wei family’s three prodigies, the youngest, Wei Tian.
Seeing this brother and sister appear, the representatives of the various families changed their expressions slightly.
After suffering such a major blow and loss, they had assumed the Wei family wouldn’t send representatives to today’s meeting.
Unexpectedly, the involved parties still came.
The previous statement was probably made by Wei Zhiling.
Wang Wenshan stood up, looked at Wei Tian and Wei Zhiling, and said: “Could you two elaborate on what you just said? What exactly happened?”
Wei Tian and Wei Zhiling slowly walked toward the long table, their gaze constantly fixed on Fang Yu.
Fang Yu’s eyes flickered, but he put on a bewildered expression.
“The person who killed my brother Wei Zhen yesterday and seriously injured my cousin Wei Xuan was Fang Chengtian himself! There was no so-called Dao Kong, and no so-called Half-Spirit race!” Wei Zhiling walked in front of Fang Yu, her eyes bulging, speaking in a sharp voice.
Fang Yu pretended to be shocked, his face full of confusion, and said: “Miss Wei, perhaps you don’t know what actually happened yesterday.”
“You’re still pretending!? You know exactly what you did!” Wei Zhiling’s eyes were filled with bloodshot veins as she spoke venomously.
Standing beside her, Wei Tian was also glaring at Fang Yu with anger and resentment.
The family representatives were all observing Fang Yu’s reaction and Wei Tian’s anger.
But in reality, everyone knew that Wei Zhiling’s claim couldn’t stand.
Fang Chengtian was merely a vice-chairman. If he had the abilities mentioned in the rumors, why would he be putting on this submissive appearance now?
Killing Wei Zhen with one strike, seriously injuring Wei Xuan with one finger, causing the entire Wei family mansion to sink with a wave of his hand!
Such abilities would represent strength ranking at least in the top ten of the Sacred Rankings!
And the Fang Chengtian before them clearly didn’t possess such capabilities.
Wang Wenshan observed the expressions of Fang Yu and the Wei siblings for a moment before speaking: “Wei Tian, I understand how you feel right now. But I must clarify that Vice-Chairman Fang is also a victim… he was attacked by the Half-Spirit race on his way to the Wei family, and after that…”
“He’s lying! Can’t you all see? He’s lying!” Wei Tian couldn’t contain himself anymore, jumping in rage with veins bulging on his forehead, pointing at Fang Yu.
What he didn’t realize was that the more agitated he appeared, the less credible his words seemed to others.
The family representatives present all shook their heads without speaking.
Many even had a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes.
Producing three prodigies at once… this could have elevated the Wei family to new heights.
But now, of the three prodigies, one was severely injured, one was dead, and one had almost gone insane.
Even the Wei family mansion had sunk into the ground…
The rise of the Wei family… had shattered like a dream, cruel yet real.
Among the families present, some had poor relations with the Wei family and would be delighted to see them fall.
Now that the Wei family was in such a predicament, they were naturally pleased and even wanted to thank Dao Kong and the Half-Spirit race.
Of course, such thoughts could only be kept to themselves and never spoken aloud.
After all, Dao Kong and the Half-Spirit race had declared they would crush the entire Northern Capital’s martial arts world.
“Young Master Wei, Miss Wei, perhaps I should apologize. If I hadn’t attended your Wei family’s celebration banquet yesterday, none of this would have happened,” Fang Yu said apologetically.
But in his eyes as he looked at them, there was a hint of mockery.
Fang Yu had always been someone who would seek revenge for any grievance.
Originally, he had no ill will toward the Wei family and just wanted to enjoy a free meal at their home.
But the Wei siblings had deliberately provoked him and even dug a pit to trap him.
Since that was the case, they couldn’t blame Fang Yu for using that pit to bury their entire Wei family, along with the Half-Spirit race behind them.
The moment the Wei siblings appeared, Fang Yu had already conceived the perfect ending to this play.
Now, events were unfolding exactly as he had planned.
“You dog! I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!” Wei Tian roared, his aura exploding as he tried to attack Fang Yu!
“Boom!”
In the next second, Wang Wenshan immediately took action!
He reached forward with both hands, releasing a wave of pressure that pressed down on Wei Tian and Wei Zhiling’s heads.
The two aggressive individuals rolled their eyes and instantly fainted.
“They’re too emotional and shouldn’t have attended today’s meeting. Send them back,” Wang Wenshan said calmly.
Two attendants ran over from behind, supported the unconscious pair, and left the third floor.
“Vice-Chairman Fang, please don’t mind what just happened. Let’s continue our meeting…” Wang Wenshan said.
At this moment, he noticed that Fang Chengtian’s face had turned pale, seemingly very fearful and hesitant to speak.
“Vice-Chairman Fang, is there something you want to say?” Wang Wenshan asked.
“Actually… during the time I was unconscious after being attacked, I heard some conversations,” Fang Yu said, pretending to be apprehensive.
“What conversations?!” Wang Wenshan frowned and immediately asked.
The other family representatives also changed their expressions and looked at Fang Yu together.
“I heard them say… they have insiders within the Wei family, and even within the Martial Arts Association, they have many people…” Fang Yu said.
Hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed.
Especially Dong Zheng, whose face instantly turned pale!
“Are you saying that the Half-Spirit race’s influence has infiltrated both the Martial Arts Association and the Wei family?” Wang Wenshan asked gravely.
“Yes, from their tone, it might not just be the Wei family. Other major families might also have people controlled by the Half-Spirit race,” Fang Yu said.
“Nonsense! Do you think the major martial arts families and the Martial Arts Association are pushovers? How could they be so easily infiltrated by outside forces!?” Dong Zheng slammed the table and shouted.
“I only heard their conversation, I don’t know if it’s true…” Fang Yu said.
“Why are you only mentioning something so important now?” a family representative asked with furrowed brows.
The time had come.
“Because… I think the Half-Spirit race left some kind of mark inside my body. I was afraid that if I revealed the secret, it would trigger… puh!” Before Fang Yu could finish speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his head slamming onto the table, his body rigid.
This sudden development caused everyone’s expressions to change dramatically!
Many family representatives immediately stood up.
“What’s happening!?” someone shouted.
“Stay calm!” Wang Wenshan said with a grim expression.
Just as he was about to reach out to check on Fang Chengtian, a wisp of black energy rose from the back of Fang Chengtian’s head.
The black energy condensed into a human face in the air.
“You may already know many secrets about us Half-Spirit race… but unfortunately, there’s nothing you can do except wait for the day we descend upon the Northern Capital.” The face formed from black energy grinned arrogantly before dissipating.
At that moment, Fang Chengtian’s corpse began to corrode, visibly turning into white bones, which then slowly turned to powder. Some scattered with the wind, while the rest fell onto the chair and floor.
The entire room fell into dead silence.
Everyone stared at where Fang Chengtian had been, unable to speak.
There were many people present, each with considerable cultivation.
Yet none of them had sensed the approaching danger!
Fang Chengtian had been killed right before their eyes!
This…
“Bang!”
After about ten seconds of silence, someone slammed the table angrily and said: “The Half-Spirit race is too arrogant! We cannot tolerate this!”
His anger received much support.
As martial arts families of the Northern Capital, each of them was accustomed to privilege and high status. When had they ever faced such provocation?
Amid the collective outrage, everyone looked to Wang Wenshan, waiting for his decision.
“I propose forming a joint team from our families to work with the Martial Arts Association. We’ll first search for anything related to the Half-Spirit race within the Northern Capital… If we find no clues, we’ll expand the search to the entire region!” Wang Wenshan said gravely.
