Fang Chen had just arrived at the entrance of the meeting hall when he heard the conversation inside.
"Looking for me?" Fang Chen was a bit confused. Why was the Li clan looking for him?
Then Fang Chen pushed open the door and entered the meeting hall.
Originally, everyone was already in a bad mood. Suddenly seeing the door open, they thought it was a servant coming in and were about to scold him.
Right at that moment, they discovered that the person who had arrived was actually Fang Chen.
"Fang Chen!" The Li clan leader was shocked to see Fang Chen.
"Fang Chen, why have you come back?" The first elder called out excitedly.
Fang Chen nodded to everyone. "I'm on a mission, so I came back to take a look."
Hearing this, the heavy atmosphere in the meeting hall instantly disappeared. Everyone's faces revealed brilliant smiles.
Just now, they were still worrying about how to get Fang Chen to contact them. Who would have thought that Fang Chen would appear in Kaiyang City in the blink of an eye? What timely help!
"Hahaha, Fang Chen, you've come at the right time." The Li clan leader walked to Fang Chen's side and laughed loudly.
"Clan leader, what happened in Kaiyang City?" Fang Chen asked.
Normally, Kaiyang City would be filled with a sea of people. Countless cultivators would be on the streets, flowing endlessly.
But today, Kaiyang City was too strange. There wasn't a single person in the huge city.
This made Fang Chen very confused.
Hearing this, the Li clan leader smiled bitterly. "Fang Chen, you don't know. Just a while ago, a powerful cultivator suddenly appeared in the Yang clan. This cultivator suppressed all the cultivators in Kaiyang City. Even our Li and Lu clans were suppressed by the Yang clan. For a time, the Yang clan's glory was limitless."
"Because of you, the Yang clan has always been suppressed by our two clans. Now, they've finally turned the tables. Using their powerful cultivator as a foundation, they threatened our two clans to become vassals of the Yang clan. If we don't comply, they'll destroy our two clans." The Li clan leader explained.
Hearing this, Fang Chen's eyes flickered. He asked, "Even if the Lu Clan and the Li Clan joined forces, they were still no match for the Yang Clan?"
"We tried to fight back, but we were suppressed by that powerful cultivator." The Li Clan Leader smiled bitterly.
Fang Chen nodded. This matter was a little strange. Who was this expert from the Yang Family? Why did he want to meddle in the affairs of Kaiyang City?
"Patriarch, do you know what that person's cultivation is like?" asked Fang Chen.
"His cultivation should be above the Fifth Level of the Spiritual Vortex Realm. As for the specifics, we don't know either," the Li Clan Leader said.
In the vast Mizar City, the strongest expert was only at the fourth level of the Spiritual Vortex Realm. A fifth level Spiritual Vortex Realm expert was too powerful for them.
"Fang Chen, you came back at the right time. You are now a student of the Five Elements Academy. With your status, you should be able to intimidate that expert and make him let us go," said the Li Clan Leader.
Fang Chen shook his head slightly. Before he knew the truth of the matter, he did not dare to make any guarantees.
However, as long as the opponent's cultivation had not reached the Sixth Level of the Spiritual Vortex Realm, he was confident that he could defeat him.
"I know what I'm doing," said Fang Chen.
After that, Fang Chen began to discuss countermeasures with the Li Clan members.
Early in the morning of the second day, the Yang Clan sent an elder to the Li Clan's residence with his head held high.
"Li Clan, have you made your decision? If you don't, there will be no Li Clan in Mizar City after today." This Yang Clan elder was very arrogant. He relied on the fact that he was a member of the Yang Clan to be arrogant and domineering.
Just as he finished speaking, the Li Clan Leader and the others suddenly came out from the hall.
"Our Li Clan has made our decision," the Li Clan Leader looked at this person and said in a low voice.
"That's right. Submit to our Yang Clan, and no one in Mizar City will dare to bully your Li Clan in the future. Hahaha." The Yang Clan elder thought that the Li Clan would definitely submit to the Yang Clan.
"Scram."
Suddenly, a heavy voice came out of Fang Chen's mouth.
Hearing this, the smile on the Yang Clan elder's face disappeared and was replaced with anger.
"You want me to scram?"
The Yang Clan elder looked at the Li Clan members in disbelief.
Were they going to fight it out with the Yang Clan? They actually wanted him to scram?
However, when he saw the figure that walked out of the crowd, his eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Fang Chen, it's you!" The Yang Clan elder recognized Fang Chen.
"The Li Clan's decision is to have you scram," Fang Chen repeated.
"Fang Chen, do you think that you can go against our Li Clan just because you joined the Five Elements Academy? You're really looking to die." The Yang Clan elder wasn't afraid of Fang Chen in the slightest and said disdainfully.
Bang!
Fang Chen had already given him a chance, but he didn't cherish it.
With a bang, the Yang Clan elder was sent flying by Fang Chen. Then, a voice entered his ears.
"If the Yang Clan wants to swallow the Li Clan, we'll have to see if they have the appetite to do so."
The Yang Clan elder's heart was filled with shock and he hastily fled the Li Clan residence.
"Damnit, how can that brat Fang Chen be so strong?!"
The Yang Clan elder hastily returned to the Yang Clan residence.
"How is it? Is the Li Clan willing to submit?" asked the Yang Clan elder with a smile.
The elder's expression was very ugly and he said in a low voice, "Clan elder, the Li Clan isn't willing to submit."
"What? Do they want their clan to be exterminated?!" raged the Yang Clan elder.
"Clan elder, not only are they not willing to submit, they even told me to scram." The elder said in a low voice, "Fang Chen has returned."
"Fang Chen? So what if he's returned?"
Hearing that Fang Chen had returned, the killing intent in the Yang Clan elder's eyes grew even stronger.
Although Fang Chen was a student of the Five Elements Academy, silently killing Fang Chen was something that even the Five Elements Academy wouldn't pay attention to.
"There's a path to heaven, but you refuse to take it. There's no door to hell, but you barge in," said the Yang Clan elder sinisterly.
Then, the Yang Clan elder entered the meeting hall.
Not long after, a figure shrouded in a pitch-black aura walked out of the meeting hall. Behind him, the Yang Clan elder bowed and bent his knees, a fawning smile on his face.
"The students of the Five Elements Academy are really interesting." That figure grinned.
The Yang Clan arrived in front of the Li Clan residence in a grandiose manner.
"Fang Chen, get out here!"
The Yang Clan elder took a step forward and roared loudly. His voice instantly traveled into the Li Clan residence.
Not long after, with the Li Clan elder at the lead, everyone came out of the residence.
"Li Clan elder, your choice today will destroy the entire Li Clan," said the Yang Clan elder coldly.
"If you want to destroy our Li Clan, your Yang Clan will also suffer heavy losses," said the Li Clan elder viciously.
At this moment, Fang Chen's gaze fell on the black figure.
He instantly realized that the black figure was a member of the Yellow Spring Sect.
"Colluding with the remnants of the Yellow Spring Sect, does the Yang Clan want to betray humanity?" Fang Chen's eyes were cold as he said in a low voice.
Just as Fang Chen's voice fell, the Li Clan members all widened their eyes and looked at Fang Chen.
"Fang Chen, you're slandering us!" The Yang Clan elder's expression changed greatly when he heard this, and he rebuked.
The Yang Clan elder was about to attack, but he was stopped by the black figure.
"Kid, you're a student of the Five Elements Academy?" The black figure took a step forward and smiled sinisterly.
"That's right," said Fang Chen.
"My favorite thing to do is to hunt down the genius students of the Five Elements Academy," continued the black figure.
"Do you think you can kill me?" Fang Chen confronted the black figure.
"You'll know once you try." The black figure grinned.
At this moment, the black figure emitted a terrifying evil aura. The Li Clan members were all shocked. This person really was a remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect.
"The Yang Clan actually colluded with the Yellow Spring Sect! This is betraying humanity!"
"Yang Clan, you colluded with the Yellow Spring Sect! You're dead!"
The Li Clan Elders all roared furiously.
The Yellow Spring Sect was the mortal enemy of the entire Ancient Sword Continent. Any human that dared to collude with them would be considered a betrayal of humanity.
Betraying humanity was an extremely serious crime.
Everyone had the right to punish the remnants of the Yellow Spring Sect, but the Yang Clan had actually colluded with them for their own selfish reasons.
The Yang Clan elder's expression was constantly changing.
Originally, he had planned on using the strength of the Yellow Spring Sect to unify the entire Kaiyang City.
Originally, the plan had been going smoothly. No one knew the identity of the remnants of the Yellow Spring Sect, much less that he had colluded with them.
After all, even the Yang Clan elder had some scruples about the Yellow Spring Sect. Once the other Sects in the Five Elements State knew that he had colluded with the Yellow Spring Sect, they would definitely denounce him. At that time, the Yang Clan would definitely be destroyed.
However, he did not expect that Fang Chen would actually recognize the experts of the Yellow Spring Sect. This made the Yang Clan elder want to kill Fang Chen and everyone in the Li Clan no matter what.
"Hmph, so what if you know? You're all going to die," the Yang Clan elder said coldly, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.
Since the matter had been exposed, everyone who knew the inside story had to die.
Only the dead could keep secrets forever.
"That's right. You're all going to die today." The black figure grinned.
The evil aura around him was very strong. He was very confident that no one in the entire Kaiyang City was his match.
"What a joke," said Fang Chen.
If this person was a martial artist at the Sixth Level of the Spiritual Vortex Realm, he would not be able to fight him.
However, this person's cultivation was only at the peak of the Fifth Level of the Spiritual Vortex Realm. As long as he had not stepped into the Sixth Level of the Spiritual Vortex Realm, he would have a way.
"Kid, you'll be the first person I kill in Kaiyang City."
The black figure said eerily, "I didn't expect to gain so much from this trip. I can actually kill a student from the Five Elements Academy."
Thinking of this, the black figure was extremely excited.
He clearly remembered that one of the segments of the Spiritual Pupils King's plan was to kill a genius student from the Five Elements Academy. If he killed this kid, the Spiritual Pupils King would definitely be very happy when he returned and would reward him.
He did not know that the two elders who descended from the sky not only killed the Swordsman in the Wind and the others, but also severely injured the Spiritual Pupils King.
Now, the Spiritual Pupils King was hiding in a secluded corner to heal himself. How could he have the time to care about them?
