Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

"If I were to confront him directly, even if I exerted all my strength, he might not necessarily defeat me, but... such a powerful figure isn't worth offending," pondered Fang Yu in his heart.

Throughout the journey back, he had felt something peculiar, always sensing that someone might approach him.

He thought it would be an expert from Lu Family's Nine Layers Hall or perhaps some enemies seizing the opportunity to strike.

But unexpectedly, it was a mysterious strong figure.

What puzzled Fang Yu was the meaning behind the last words of this mysterious fighter before leaving, why did he advise not to provoke the Lu Family?

Strange, very strange...

After breaking through to the peak of the Sixth Layer of Divine Dragon Technique, Fang Yu's sense of crisis emanating from all directions grew increasingly intense.

This feeling emerged with the elevation of his realm; it was baffling.

However, soon—

Fang Yu hummed lightly:

"My principles in handling matters will never change, not now, nor in the future! The Lu Family must be dealt with..."

There are always higher skies and other people outside of our own existence.

This was the profound truth spoken during his great battle with Lu Tianxun.

Fang Yu clearly understood this principle.

To avoid being trampled upon, one must become stronger.

With this thought.

He sheathed his Dragon Roar Sword, it reverting back to the appearance of Mandala petals.

"Primordial Sword Scripture..." The next objective, besides improving the Divine Dragon Technique, would be to thoroughly study the Primordial Sword Scripture.

Fang Yu glanced around once more and, seeing no one else, turned and walked towards the hall.

It was midnight at this point.

The Ye Family's residence was still brightly lit.

Hidden Dragon Guards were stationed all around.

However, for a mysterious strong figure like the one earlier, such guards were nothing but a formality.

"Son-in-law."

"Son-in-law."

The Hidden Dragon Guards stationed towards the hall hastily bowed.

Not knowing how else to address Fang Yu, they greeted him as 'son-in-law' for now.

Inside the hall.

All members of the Ye Family were sitting on the sofa, quietly waiting.

Seeing Fang Yu appear at the door.

Whoosh—the entire room stood up, the atmosphere tense and somewhat oppressive.

"It's okay now?" Old Master Ye, aged as he was, didn't need to worry about strong or weak opponents, heartily greeted him.

The Old Master's words broke the tense atmosphere.

Fang Yu smiled brightly, saying, "Old Master looks in good spirits, seems like you're recovering well."

"You young man, you also look good," Old Master Ye said with a smile.

"Not bad, not bad." Fang Yu stretched lazily.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Wenjun's fists were tightly clenched; only now did she stretch them out to realize her palms were sweaty.

Ye Xingkong murmured:

"It's good that everything's fine, everything's fine."

Fang Yu said with a smile: "Look how nervous you all are... In fact, someone has already visited."

Whoosh.

The Ye Family members were instantly stunned.

When did someone visit? The Ye Family hadn't noticed at all!?

"Thankfully, this strong figure isn't an enemy; otherwise, even I would not be sure about protecting you."

At these words, the Ye Family was even more shaken.

Even Fang Yu, who defeated four Great Elders of the Lu Family, said he was not sure. How strong exactly was this person?

Before anyone could ask, Fang Yu spoke slowly:

"This person's strength, I'm afraid, has already surpassed the Martial Arts Ninth Layer."

Ninth Layer!

Every member of the Ye Family was dumbfounded.

In this huge bustling city, Martial Arts Third and Fourth Layers could rejuvenate a family. Fifth and Sixth Layers could revive a clan. Seventh and Eighth Layers could dominate a region.

What is the Ninth Layer then?

"How... is that possible?" Ye Xingkong couldn't believe his ears.

Just at that moment—

Elder Ye, leaning on his cane, trembled as he stood up and said, "Nothing is impossible."

Ye Xingkong said, "If they really are Martial Artists beyond the Ninth Layer, why are they so rarely seen? Those legends and stories about Martial Artists of the Ninth Layer, even if all are true, aren't there quite few?"

"Many and few are relative. In Jiangzhou, Martial Artists of the Fifth Layer are extremely rare, but in the Lu Family, are those of the Fifth Layer numerous?" Elder Ye replied.

Ye Xingkong was momentarily speechless.

The Lu Family was filled with countless experts.

Among the achievements updated on the combat power rankings by Fang Yu, most of those from the Lu Family he killed were Sixth Layer experts, not to mention the Fifth Layer.

The Nine Provinces of Huaxia, vast in territory, could hardly be compared just by the Lu Family.

Beyond Jiuzhou, a hundred nations vied for supremacy, and it was even more a gathering place for talents and powerful warriors.

Snap.

Fang Yu snapped his fingers.

Approaching the sofa, he said with a light smile, "The Elder is right. But don't worry, at such a realm, which strong figure would care about ordinary Martial Artists?"

Everyone nodded, finding this reasoning sound.

At this point, Elder Ye suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Fang Yu."

This call was somewhat abrupt.

Being the oldest person in the Ye Family, it was only natural for him to call anyone by their name directly.

Therefore, Fang Yu quickly supported the Elder, saying, "Elder, what's the matter?"

Wenjun felt a surge of emotion seeing Fang Yu's devoted care for his great-grandfather.

How many people in this position would become arrogant?

But Fang Yu never changed.

He had always been this way from beginning to end.

"I just remembered something, come with me."

The Ye Family members couldn't help but feel intrigued; this secretive attitude from the Elder was a first. Particularly since he didn't act this way even with his own family.

Watching the Elder take Fang Yu's hand, not even his own grandsons received such treatment.

Ye Xingkong felt a bit jealous and said, "I'll go take a look too."

Turning his head, the Elder glared and retorted, "Just stay here. I need to talk to Fang Yu alone; why are you meddling?"

"..."

Everyone felt a bit awkward and could only watch as Fang Yu and the Elder went into another room.

...

This was a room long uninhabited, dimly lit.

It seemed it hadn't been refurbished in ages.

At the door, Elder Ye pointed to the room and said, "This used to be my father's study."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu was surprised; indeed, it had been a long time.

The Elder, not the least bit confused, searched the corner and fumbled around until he unlocked the door with a key.

Creak—

The door opened to both sides.

As soon as it was opened, a strong musty smell emerged.

Above hung many cobwebs, and the surroundings were covered in thick dust.

The Elder carefully started searching, tapping…

"When I was young, I saw a scroll here that seemed to mention a Law… I don't quite remember, but I thought it might be related to the strong figure you mentioned," muttered the Elder as he searched.

Fang Yu was startled.

A Law?

Without further ado, he too began searching in the dim room.

The Four Books and Five Classics, Comprehensive Reflections to Aid in Governance, Records of the Grand Historian, strategies for governing countries… All the books for self-cultivation and governance were available.

After searching for about half an hour.

Suddenly, the Elder spoke, "Found it…"

From a pile of discarded books, he drew out a not-so-thick volume.

Blowing off the dust and caressing it a few times, his fingers trembled slightly.

"This is it…"

Fang Yu looked over, and what was this, some book? It clearly was an old leather-bound scroll, with a line of black characters: Dark Forest Law.

PS: Dark Forest Law, those interested can search more about it on Baidu. Although complex, its principle is simple.
