Chapter 310: The Powerful Fang Gang

According to reason, the events happening here belong to the Penglai Sword Sect. They represent the sect, and the sect must naturally protect them.

However, with just one sentence from Fang Lie, the situation turned into a blood feud, and when he threatened them with the Kunlun Sword Token, the several Fire Tribulation Immortals became afraid.

The sword cultivators from East Kunlun are infamous for their strength; if Fang Lie truly used the Kunlun Sword Token to kill their entire family, they would be doomed. Even the Penglai Sword Sect wouldn’t be able to stop it.

Although staying uninvolved would lead to serious consequences, even damaging the face of the Penglai Sword Sect, no matter how one looks at it, losing face for the sect is much better than having their entire family dead.

If anyone is to blame, it can only be this True Young Master for being such a fool, why provoke the reckless Fang Lie? Haven’t you suffered enough from the Fang Family?

The current generation of Fang Lie might not know, but these stubborn old men are all too aware of the grievances between the True Young Master and the Fang family.

It turns out that this True Young Master, decades ago, was also a peerless talent, with a Golden Pool Qi Sea stretching seven thousand li. Although he didn’t have the qualification to advance to Semi-Immortal, he had great hopes of becoming a formidable cultivator in the late-stage Thunder Tribulation.

Such a powerful cultivator could already be considered a pillar of the sect, just below a Semi-Immortal. If a Semi-Immortal disliked mundane matters, they could even become the sect leader!

Additionally, the family of the True Young Master is incredibly strong; his grandfather is a mid-stage Thunder Tribulation cultivator, and there are two other Thunder Tribulation Immortals in the family. A family with three Thunder Tribulation Immortals is among the top in the entire cultivation world.

With so many advantages, the True Young Master has become arrogant since childhood. Coming from a demonic sect, he is like a reincarnated demon, evil in heart and ruthless in means, often causing death and torturing people in various ways until they perish.

In the era when the True Young Master was active, his infamy even surpassed that of some ancient demons who had caused havoc for a thousand years.

And such a little demon was beyond anyone’s control. Even the Righteous Cultivators feared to touch a single hair on him, as everyone dreaded the three Thunder Tribulation Immortals behind him.

In this situation, the True Young Master became increasingly unruly and arrogant, frequently targeting the disciples of major sects.

After all, there are many people in major sects; losing a few inner gate disciples doesn’t matter. As long as it isn’t a core disciple like Mo Lanyun, they wouldn’t trouble the True Young Master over the deaths of several juniors, as it could easily spark a sect war.

However, just as the saying goes, if you walk too much on dark paths, you’ll encounter ghosts. The True Young Master should never have ignored warnings; he ultimately provoked Fang Lie’s father, Fang Gang!

Fang Gang is not particularly talented; his spiritual root is only third-grade top-grade, slightly worse than Fang Lie’s second-grade.

Yet, he has deep fortune and once had a great opportunity. Despite coming from a small family, he managed to push his Golden Pool Qi Sea to five thousand li.

Moreover, his expertise in Mechanical Cannon techniques is the most fearsome attack method, making him the top among his peers in the Mo Sect, a true core disciple.

Here, we must mention Fang Gang’s unique cannon technique. The Fang family’s heritage focuses on pouring all their strength into one strike. Before firing, he infuses all his Magic according to a special secret technique into the Mechanical Cannon. After firing, he is left with no Magic and must consume spirit pills to recover before he can fight again.

This cannon technique has obvious drawbacks; it lacks endurance and is a typical all-or-nothing maneuver.

However, the price paid is not without reward. The Fang family has passed down this technique through many generations, refining it to a terrifying level.

Although he is powerless to fight again after one shot, the power of that shot can hardly be described as terrifying. At that time, Fang Gang was merely at the Purple Palace realm, and his Mechanical Cannon was only Sixth-rank, yet with a full-powered strike, he could severely injure a Fire Tribulation Immortal, even one from a major sect!

In this situation, cultivators on the same level as Fang Gang, no matter how talented, would be instantly killed!

Fang Gang is fiery and holds a deep hatred for evil; whenever he encounters demonic sect disciples causing harm, he doesn’t care about the consequences and takes them down without hesitation.

Countless demonic sect disciples have died at his hands.

Faced with such a person, even those demonic sect disciples who have backing avoid him, unwilling to provoke him.

But the True Young Master, being a bit of a fool and perhaps having grown up too privileged without encountering true ruthlessness, doesn’t seem to care about Fang Gang. He even captured a female disciple from the Mo Sect during a Secret Realm event.

Not only did he violate and humiliate her, but he also skinned her and tortured her in various ways, using her Hatred to forge a Sinister Treasure.

If it were anyone else, they would likely keep the matter secret after doing such a thing, as long as the gatekeeper benefits significantly.

However, this True Young Master recorded the female disciple’s fate using the Shadow Record Stone and sent the message to Fang Gang using Flying Swords!

At the time, Fang Gang was the leader of the disciples, and the True Young Master’s actions were essentially a slap in Fang Gang’s face!

It is easy to imagine how angry Fang Gang became.

Without any unnecessary words, Fang Gang hid at the entrance of the Secret Realm. With one powerful shot, he blew the proud and triumphant True Young Master to pieces!

Of course, a Core Inner Gate Disciple like True Young Master wouldn’t easily die; he had a revival quota.

However, the White Bone Sect, being an evil faction, was far inferior to the Xuan Sect in the art of resurrection.

In terms of disciple revival techniques, the Xuan Sect was the strongest, capable of reviving without any loss. The Tao Sect and Mo Sect followed, allowing near-perfect revivals with only minimal loss of cultivation and no impact on future potential—as long as continuous revivals did not harm the spiritual roots.

Of course, they could only revive ordinary spiritual roots. As for spiritual roots like Mo Lanyun’s, they were helpless; even if revived, it would be at a lower grade.

On the other hand, the demonic sect’s revival generally involved borrowing a body, which was a step down in quality, resulting in significant cultivation loss and affecting the quality of spiritual roots. The more times they revived, the greater the impact.

With his first revival, True Young Master’s Golden Pool Qi Sea shrank from over seven thousand miles to six thousand, and the quality of the Golden Pool diminished as well, affecting his future potential significantly. He would have to pay a greater price to reach late-stage Thunder Tribulation, and the possibility was very slim.

This meant that both True Young Master’s strength and future potential suffered greatly! Such a loss was certainly heavy; anyone else would have learned their lesson.

But this foolish True Young Master not only did not learn from his mistakes but also intensified his hatred for the Mo Sect and Fang Gang.

He had no choice but to unleash his rage by targeting Mo Sect disciples, killing one after another with great torture and turning them into treasures of the demonic sect, sending the recordings to Fang Gang!

The message was clear: if he couldn’t defeat Fang Gang, he would drive him to madness!

Unfortunately, Fang Gang, while furious, also felt his own wrath rising.

Initially, after True Young Master’s death, the Higher-ups of the White Bone Sect communicated. Given True Young Master’s reckless past, they decided not to deal with Fang Lie, but warned him to stop his killing spree.

Fang Gang wanted to play it safe but couldn’t resist True Young Master’s constant provocations. This man from the Fang Family was truly fierce! He ignored the Higher-ups’ warnings and ambushed True Young Master once more, firing another shot that turned True Young Master into ashes!

Even though he had the Thunder Tribulation Immortal by his side, there was no time to save him!

Upon revival, True Young Master’s Golden Pool Qi Sea decreased to just under five thousand miles. The side effects from consecutive revivals showed; his talent and potential dropped sharply.

After some calculations, True Young Master’s grandfather realized that advancing to Thunder Tribulation Immortal would be extremely difficult for him. Even if he succeeded, he would no longer progress for the rest of his life!

This angered the White Bone Sect people, and True Young Master was also furious! But what could they do?

Fang Gang hid at the Mo Sect headquarters; who dared to go there to kill him? This matter would ultimately come to nothing!

Throughout his life, Fang Gang had engaged in many similar incidents. He had directly taken down at least ten demonic sect second-generation immortals or had defeated them at least once!

It was not that those second-generation immortals were weak or lacked capable bodyguards; it was just that Fang Gang’s Mechanical Cannon was too powerful. It came as a surprise, striking from thousands of miles away—it was impossible to defend against.

After firing, he only needed to tear off a flash teleportation talisman to instantly move hundreds of thousands of miles away; even if they wanted revenge, they wouldn’t catch him!

In this situation, he was truly a bane to the second-generation immortals! During his reign, those demonic sect second-generation immortals behaved themselves; none dared to act recklessly and cause chaos in the world!

Of course, while Fang Gang earned a reputation as a nemesis, he also became a thorn in the side of the demonic sect. All second-generation immortals from the demonic sect hated him with intense hatred!

Similarly, the second-generation immortals of the righteous sect viewed him unfavorably due to his outstanding achievements that overshadowed everyone else. Whenever young geniuses were mentioned, Fang Gang was often the first name that came up, making others seem like mere background figures.

If Fang Gang’s family background were good, that would be acceptable, but he came from a humble family that was quite pitiful.

A group of Heavenly Dao favored children and distinguished heirs felt humiliated to be overshadowed by a mere lowborn boy and were unwilling to let it go!

This explained why the baiting strategy worked so easily in the righteous and demonic war.

When the elite disciples of the demonic sect saw Fang Gang, they lost all reason, charging at him wildly without concern for anything, even though they knew he was a bait. All they cared about was defeating Fang Gang, even if it meant losing an unimportant battle against the righteous sect.

On the other hand, the righteous sect members simply watched Fang Gang perish, seizing the moment to strike back, creating a perfect act of collaboration between both sides.

The righteous sect elites gained victory and reputation, while the demonic path removed the lingering threat of Fang Gang that hung over them.

Moreover, there must have been further transactions behind the scenes. Fang Gang’s death was quite suspicious; the Puppet That Dies in Place on him hadn’t activated, meaning he truly died and had no chance of revival.
