Chapter 855: The Wang Family’s Fury!
“Holy crap! What happened?”
The sound of the explosion in the sky reached the ground.
This area happened to be a bustling district with already congested traffic.
Hearing the blast from above, many drivers were startled, accidentally stepping on either the gas or brake pedals, causing various rear-end collisions.
In an instant, chaos erupted on the highway.
Many people looked up toward the sky but didn’t notice anything unusual.
They only saw a large opening in the cloud layer above their heads, which looked extremely strange.
Pedestrians and drivers took out their phones to capture this peculiar spectacle.
…
About a thousand meters up in the sky.
Fang Yu looked down at his clothes.
Fortunately, they only had several scorched areas and weren’t completely destroyed by the blast.
The power generated by a cultivator at the early Huashen stage self-destructing… if it had happened on the ground, the damage would have been immeasurable.
Even ten Huashen stage cultivators standing at the center of the explosion would have been severely injured or directly killed.
But for Fang Yu, it was merely manageable.
At the moment of the explosion, a faint golden barrier naturally rose around his body, blocking most of the explosive force.
The remaining small portion of energy genuinely struck Fang Yu’s body, causing a tingling sensation.
The fact that Fang Yu’s physical body could feel anything at all spoke volumes about the power of the explosion.
“Dead again,” Fang Yu said, hovering in midair, somewhat displeased.
To avoid directly killing Wang Wenshan, he had released the blockage on Wang Wenshan’s meridians.
But unexpectedly, Wang Wenshan, who had been unconscious, suddenly woke up and tried to embrace Fang Yu to die together.
Was this person’s mind being controlled? Or was it pure fanaticism?
If his mind was being controlled, Fang Yu would have noticed at least some trace of it.
Which meant… Wang Wenshan was genuinely willing to sacrifice his life for the Half-Spirit Race and Dao Kong, including everything he had already gained.
This way, whatever the Half-Spirit Race and Dao Kong obtained afterward would have nothing to do with him, Wang Wenshan.
What kind of mentality was this?
At the very least, Fang Yu couldn’t understand it.
“Sigh, another lead gone,” Fang Yu shook his head and flew forward.
At that moment, he suddenly sensed something flying toward him from above.
Looking up, he saw a black object flying in his direction.
“Plop!”
Two seconds later, it landed steadily on his left shoulder.
The Void Devourer.
It seemed that the explosion had blasted it quite far away.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken so long to fly back.
“Woof! Woof! Woof!”
The Void Devourer appeared very angry, unusually barking three times in succession, with its tail raised straight up.
No wonder—if Fang Yu had been sleeping and was suddenly blasted thousands of meters into the sky for no reason, he would be angry too.
“Although you’re very angry, I still have to say that this incident was fundamentally caused by you,” Fang Yu said as he flew toward home. “If I hadn’t been having a friendly conversation with you just now, I would have noticed Wang Wenshan waking up and prevented his self-destruction.”
“Woof!” The Void Devourer barked in exasperation, its voice growing considerably louder.
After weighing his options, Fang Yu decided not to tease it further.
If the Void Devourer truly became enraged and reverted to its space-devouring form, it would be difficult to handle.
…
North Capital, Wanhe Estate.
This estate covered five hundred acres and was the second largest private estate in North Capital, second only to the legendary North Capital No. 101.
The estate featured an artificial lake, green mountains, clear waters, and various meticulously designed gardens.
In terms of environment, it was truly top-tier.
Beyond these scenic views, at the center of the estate stood forty-eight buildings.
These buildings had a very classical style, distinctly different from today’s high-end villas.
Behind this cluster of buildings was a five-hundred-meter-high mountain.
The mountainside had been artificially polished until very smooth.
On the smooth mountainside were carvings of seven upper-body human figures.
Due to their position at the top of the mountainside, they were extremely high up. Therefore, as soon as one entered Wanhe Estate and looked up, these seven figures were visible.
Wanhe Estate was also known as the Wang Family Estate.
As the name suggests, this was the Wang family’s territory.
The seven figures on the mountainside represented the most outstanding heads of the Wang family throughout history.
Family heads who hadn’t made extraordinary contributions to the Wang family weren’t qualified to be on this mountain.
This mountain was also known as the Wang family’s Mountain of Honor, and was the ultimate dream of every family head.
…
Counting down from the ancestral line, each branch of the Wang family’s direct lineage owned an independent building.
At the same time, each branch would select a family head. The selected head was only responsible for managing all affairs of that particular branch.
Among all the family heads, one would be elected as the grand family head, who controlled the overall situation.
However, the position of grand family head changed every three years and couldn’t be held consecutively.
Therefore, the grand family head position was essentially a rotating seat among the various family heads.
…
At this moment, in a building slightly to the left of the central area, chaos reigned.
“Family Head, the Qi family is bringing Young Master Xiaofeng back, they’re already on the way…”
“Family Head, I just gathered intelligence that the person who attacked is named Fang Yu. He’s reportedly a friend of Master Huaixu from the Martial Arts Association, though some say he’s his personal disciple.”
“Family Head, A-San and A-Wu who accompanied Young Master Xiaofeng are severely injured. The Qi family sent them for emergency treatment first, so they haven’t been able to…”
One report after another reached the ears of Wang Zhishan, the leader of this direct branch.
Wang Zhishan’s face was ashen as he sat on the sofa, holding a golden cane that symbolized his dignity.
But at this moment, his hand was trembling, causing the cane to shake slightly as well.
When he sent out Wang Xiaofeng, he never imagined it would end like this!
Normally, when the Wang family dispatched a prodigy to handle a situation, it would only end with the other party’s submission!
But this time… not only was the matter unresolved, but Wang Xiaofeng, who had been sent out, was severely injured with his fate unknown!
This outcome was completely unexpected for Wang Zhishan.
At the same time, feelings of anger, worry, and humiliation all surged within him.
“What happened!? What’s going on!?”
An elegantly dressed woman hurriedly walked in from outside, asking loudly as she entered.
This woman was Wang Zhishan’s wife, Wang Xiaofeng’s mother, Ji Lan.
None of the servants dared to answer Ji Lan’s question.
“What happened to Xiaofeng!? What happened to him?” Ji Lan walked up to Wang Zhishan and asked with wide eyes.
Wang Zhishan looked at Ji Lan, took a deep breath, and answered: “He was injured in a fight.”
“What? Injured in a fight? How is he? Who hurt him?” Ji Lan’s face turned pale as she asked repeatedly.
Wang Zhishan, already irritated and distressed, felt his anger rise when Ji Lan started making a fuss.
“Stop nagging! The Qi family is bringing Xiaofeng back now. We’ll know his condition soon!” Wang Zhishan said sternly.
“The Qi family… did the Qi family do this? How dare they…” Ji Lan said through gritted teeth.
“Madam, it wasn’t the Qi family… it was a man named Fang Yu who injured the young master,” a servant couldn’t help but explain.
“Fang Yu…” Ji Lan had never heard this name before, but she had completely lost her composure and shrieked at Wang Zhishan, “Why are you just sitting here? Quickly send people to capture that bastard!”
Wang Zhishan could no longer contain himself. He abruptly stood up, glared at Ji Lan, and said, “Shut up! I will handle this matter!”
Ji Lan trembled at the sight of Wang Zhishan’s bloodshot eyes and dared not speak further.
At this moment, another servant ran in from outside, shouting:
“Family Head, the Qi family’s people have arrived. Young Master Xiaofeng has been brought back!”
“Take me there immediately!” Wang Zhishan’s expression changed as he spoke.
…
Five minutes later, Wang Zhishan and Ji Lan arrived at the Wang family’s medical facility and saw the unconscious Wang Xiaofeng in the hospital room.
Four physicians were providing emergency treatment to Wang Xiaofeng.
Wang Xiaofeng’s current state was… extremely miserable.
His face was covered in blood, and both arms were twisted unnaturally, clearly indicating that the bones inside were shattered.
Just one glance was enough to make Ji Lan scream, cover her mouth, and burst into tears.
Wang Zhishan clenched his fists tightly, his entire body trembling.
“How… how is his condition?” Wang Zhishan asked through gritted teeth.
A physician turned around, looked at Wang Zhishan, and said: “Young Master Xiaofeng’s bones in both arms are shattered, he has suffered serious internal injuries, and the flow of true energy in his meridians is extremely disrupted…”
