Chapter 692: Going Alone to the Meeting (Second Update)
Sitting in the empty hall.
Fang Yu began to think—
"According to Empress Ziwei's idea, she definitely didn't expect me to still be alive... In that case, let's use that to our advantage."
"However... how should I proceed?"
Fang Yu stroked his chin, thinking over and over again.
Previously, he had overlooked the Alien Clan from the Western Regions and the Tiandu Guard, which led to the complete failure of the plan.
This time, there could be no more accidents.
From the whispers outside, it seemed that Ye Wenjun and others were captured not long ago.
That is to say, up to now, Empress Ziwei has not yet made a move.
After a long contemplation.
Fang Yu smiled slightly and said: "Then I shall go alone and be the lone hero."
Thinking of this, Fang Yu left Fang Family.
...
At the foot of Tiandu Mountain.
Guards were heavily stationed.
Inside the Tiandu Hall.
Empress Ziwei, clad in a dragon robe, sat on the Dragon Chair, looking down from above.
After having quelled this rebellion, no one dared doubt her strength anymore.
A person who can kill even the Dragon Emperor, a decisive and ruthless woman, who would dare to be her enemy?
"Her Majesty, currently about sixty-five rebels have been captured and are all detained in Tiandu Prison, waiting for disposition," said an official in charge of prisons.
Empress Ziwei nodded and said: "This incident has also sounded an alarm for us at Tiandu Mountain."
"Yes!"
"Her Majesty is wise!"
Looking at the flattering ministers.
Empress Ziwei's face showed no pleasure but rather asked: "How many modern weapons are there in the warehouses of Tiandu Mountain?"
Speaking of modern weapons, an official specifically in charge spoke:
"Your Majesty, our people have seized 300 firearms from Weiyang State this time. As for their uses and categories…" he stuttered.
However, Empress Ziwei did not reprimand him.
"Modern weapons are complex and numerous; it's normal you don't know. Next, you need to go to this bustling city and recruit some experts in this field. We don't need to know ourselves, but we must have such talents at our disposal."
"Yes!"
Everyone nodded repeatedly.
Having experienced this event, they all very clearly understood the formidable aspects of modern weapons.
"Your Majesty, I think we should send someone to investigate the back mountain. That person named Fang Yu is one of the rare Four Saints, extremely skilled in Arrays and Sealing Restrictions. One can never be too cautious."
Upon hearing this.
Empress Ziwei said indifferently: "No need…"
The reason she was so sure.
One of the main reasons was that she had tried to explore it herself.
She was well aware of what one must endure while falling off the cliff.
The friction of air, the collision of spiritual energy, changes in the environment, steep slopes!
Even she herself felt it was impossible to survive, let alone others.
"Yes!" The person dared not continue this opinion.
At this moment—
Empress Ziwei asked: "When will the report on the investigation into Fang Yu be submitted?"
"Your Majesty, the scout is waiting outside the hall."
"Let him come in."
In Tiandu Hall, unless it was a Supreme Heavenly Rank or with Empress's permission, entry was not allowed.
Not long after.
A scout entered the hall, knelt down and saluted: "I have clarified the background of Fang Yu."
"Speak."
Everyone was very curious about this Fang Yu.
What kind of person has such abilities?
"Fang Yu, originally named Lu Yu. Born to Lu Family, unable to enter martial arts from childhood, seen as useless by his clan, his mother bore humiliation for many years to protect him only to die when he turned thirteen because she could no longer endure the clan's insults. Fang Yu was expelled from Lu Family, later adopted by Fang Jintian of Fang Family, emerged as a wild youth known locally as Iron Fist King. Later, Fang Family was massacred by Yanjing Martial Arts Family. Fang Yu and his master Fang Ju escaped into the deep mountains... After eight years, he suddenly became a martial artist, progressing at a startling speed, like having an epiphany! The rest, you know."
Upon hearing this.
Empress Ziwei nodded and said: "It's roughly consistent with the previous investigation, what Secret Manuals or combat skills does he possess, do you know?"
The person answered:
"Based on available information, his main use is sword skill, containing many Ancient Battle Techniques and Heavenly Rank Battle Techniques. Among the most fearsome is the Multi-Symphony Combat Skill, and...
his weapon, which can transform into multiple forms. Reportedly it can turn into a needle shape capable of piercing anything!"
All civil and military officials in the hall looked incredulously at the man.
"What is his most powerful sword skill so far?" asked Empress Ziwei.
Upon hearing this question.
The man respectfully replied: "If we also consider support-type skills, his battle technique is Multi-Symphony, which is ridiculously exaggerated. It enhances his sword skills to multiple times their strength! If not counted, he has one combat skill that is quite terrifying, called the Great Sumeru Sword Technique!"
"The Great Sumeru Sword Technique? Say that again!"
Empress Ziwei had never lost her composure like today, her face turned serious! Her voice filled with astonishment.
"The sword move executed by Fang Yu, the Great Sumeru Sword Technique, is currently his most powerful move," the man repeated.
Upon hearing this.
Empress Ziwei involuntarily leaned back.
Murmuring to herself: "How is this possible?"
Maid Xia'er was also filled with astonishment, she didn't even ask, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this... the Great Sumeru Sword Technique is the unique battle skill of the Dragon Emperor, also his famous battle skill. Given his growth trajectory, he is far from comparable to the Dragon Emperor, could this be a mistake?"
Empress Ziwei also hoped it was a mistake.
But she was very aware that her intelligence network never had issues, even if there was nothing to find, the network would tell her so, it would never fabricate answers.
With this thought.
Empress Ziwei said gravely: "Two things, first, fortify the back mountain with protective seals. Second, keep all the hostages secure. If he is still alive, he will definitely come back."
"Yes!"
Although it was merely speculation, they were all too aware of the stakes they couldn't afford to gamble with!
...
Meanwhile.
At the foot of Tiandu Mountain.
Fang Yu disguised as a tourist, flipping around, taking photos.
Click, click, even leaving several sets of videos.
Just as Fang Yu was happily taking photos.
A voice came—
"After you finish the video, leave Tiandu Mountain immediately. Otherwise... you will be executed without mercy." The voice was particularly harsh and chilling, making one shudder.
Fang Yu turned around.
Noticing that the voice came from behind a large tree.
"Sorry! It's a rule of law society now, this mountain is public property, why can't I be here? This shows your lack of morality and quality. Hurry up, let me in!"
Fang Yu was also well aware of the rules of Tiandu Mountain.
