Fang Yishan was somewhat surprised, but he didn’t show much shock.

If Fang Zhongnan and the other man wanted to seize the position of Manor Lord, they would definitely need to eliminate him.

The simplest method would be for the two of them to secretly enhance their strength.

Fang Yishan shook his head, a look of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

“You really are foolish.”

“Do you think you can secure victory with just the two of you at the early stage of the late realm?”

Fang Zhongnan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt a bad premonition as he looked at Fang Yishan’s calm expression.

But at this point, it was useless to say more.

Suddenly, the old man behind him shouted.

“Attack!!!”

The Elder behind Fang Yishan suddenly sprang into action!!!

Without any warning, the sword in his hand stabbed towards Fang Yishan’s back!!

Swish!!!

Boom!!!

The old man named Lin Hua was stunned to find that Fang Yishan had disappeared from his sight.

Splat!!!

A long sword suddenly pierced through Lin Hua’s neck, and blood spurted three feet high.

Fang Yishan, his face full of killing intent, looked at the two men in the distance without any emotion.

With a flick of his wrist, he swung his sword fiercely!!!

Swoosh!

The old man’s head flew high, and the splattering blood obscured everyone’s vision.

Fang Yishan looked coldly at Fang Zhongnan.

With a slight flick of his wrist, he shook off the blood on his sword.

“Did you think I became the Manor Lord for nothing all these years?”

“All your little tricks, I’ve seen them clearly under my nose.”

“I just couldn’t be bothered to deal with you. Every resource in the manor is accounted for in my mind.”

“Did you really think you could hide from me?”

Fang Zhongnan’s expression changed repeatedly, but he still didn’t back down.

The old man beside him said in a deep voice, “Son! At this point, just kill him!!”

Fang Zhongnan gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and instantly crushed a jade slip, charging towards Fang Yishan!!

However, just as Fang Zhongnan crushed the jade slip, more than twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators flew over from Changfeng Manor!

Li Guanqi frowned slightly, took out a jade slip, and his expression became somewhat intriguing.

Ye Feng noticed and asked, “Boss, what’s wrong?”

Li Guanqi’s lips curled into a mocking smile as he said softly.

“The dogs are starting to bite each other.”

“It’s happening faster than I expected. I thought I’d have to add more fuel to the fire.”

Not far away in mid-air, Cao Yan, wearing his arm guards, was surrounded by a ghostly blue flame, exuding a powerful aura!

As the tribulation lightning fell, Cao Yan didn’t retreat but advanced, leaping into the air and swinging his fists!

One had to admit, Cao Yan’s fist techniques were extremely exquisite, full of power yet not losing any finesse.

Just like that, Cao Yan shattered the tribulation lightning with punch after punch.

The dissipating lightning was absorbed into his body, helping to temper the Golden Elixir that had yet to fully form within him.

Li Guanqi glanced at him and sighed softly.

“Cao Yan… his talent is truly remarkable.”

Ye Feng shrugged, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes as he spoke.

“Yeah, he’s very strong.”

But then he spoke carelessly.

“Heh, no matter how strong he is, he’s still our little brother.”

Li Guanqi smiled but said nothing. He regarded both Cao Yan and Ye Feng as brothers, not subordinates.

Boom!!

“Ah!! Break for me!!!!”

In mid-air, Cao Yan’s punch seemed to embody his unyielding will, the flames on his arm guards smashing towards the sky!

Even though his body was already battered and his robes in tatters.

His eyes still shone brightly, filled with defiance and unwillingness.

Li Guanqi watched this scene quietly.

Cao Yan was like a proud, solitary mountain, having endured untold hardships, yet his soul remained fervent!

Ye Feng was also shocked by Cao Yan’s fierce punch.

He had grown up in comfort, with some conflicts with his father, but nothing compared to Cao Yan’s turbulent fate.

Unknowingly, Cao Yan’s spirit was also influencing him.

Bang!! Crack!!

The lightning exploded!

Cao Yan stood in mid-air, his hair disheveled and covered in blood.

He roared at the dissipating tribulation clouds.

“Come on!!! Come at me again!!!”

Cao Yan’s face was twisted, seemingly immersed in some emotion, unable to extricate himself for a long time.

It was only after a while, under the baptism of heaven and earth, that he gradually came to his senses.

Spreading his arms, his body surged with intense primordial energy, and his aura rapidly increased!

In the blink of an eye, he broke through the shackles of the Foundation Establishment realm, and his aura quickly rose to the early stage of the Golden Elixir Realm.

Moreover, his realm quickly stabilized, thanks to his solid foundation.

Cao Yan flew down, his face beaming with a bright smile as he looked at the two.

“Hehe, I didn’t delay anything, did I?”

Li Guanqi looked at his powerful blood energy and spoke softly.

“Can you handle fighting a Golden Elixir Realm cultivator now?”

Clang!

Cao Yan bumped his fists together and said in a deep voice, “My fist techniques are more than enough!”

Li Guanqi nodded, then looked at the two and said in a deep voice, “Let’s go!”

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The three of them turned into three streaks of light and flew away.

Along the way, the three of them looked very serious. Li Guanqi spoke in a deep voice.

“Remember, the main goal of this trip is to rescue people!”

“Ignore everything else. We don’t know Fang Yishan’s strength as the Manor Lord of Changfeng Manor.”

“But his brother Fang Zhongnan is definitely not just a mid-stage Golden Elixir cultivator.”

“He is very likely at the late stage of the Golden Elixir Realm!”

“Encountering a late-stage cultivator is dangerous for the three of us, especially for Cao Yan.”

Cao Yan’s expression turned serious as he nodded slightly. He had just broken through.

Even facing a mid-stage Golden Elixir cultivator would be dangerous, let alone a late-stage one.

At this moment, Ye Feng suddenly spoke.

“Boss… are you about to break through?”

Li Guanqi shrugged, not hiding his realm, and nodded slightly.

“Yes, we’ll see how things go.”

“In any case, be careful. Fight if you can, run if you can’t.”

The two nodded slightly, and soon they arrived near Changfeng Manor.

However, the intense rumbling sounds shocked the three of them.

Li Guanqi immediately raised his hand, and the three of them quickly descended.

From the back mountain came waves of rumbling and shouting, accompanied by intense primordial energy fluctuations.

Li Guanqi decisively took out human skin masks and handed them to the two, looking at Changfeng Manor below and said in a deep voice.

“Put these on, we’re infiltrating the manor!”

The two nodded, then put on the human skin masks that Li Guanqi had prepared.

Changing into the manor guards’ clothes, the three of them quietly infiltrated the manor.
