Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

Fang Yu couldn't be bothered to quibble with these people anymore.

Even if they were truly his Dark Web brothers, he would not feel heartbroken.

Because he had seen too many such opportunistic people before, he was used to it, and had become numb to it.

Led by Fang Yu,

everyone marched grandly towards the great doors.

Creak—

The doors swung open to both sides.

Just as Fang Yu took the lead, walking out the great doors.

Tongues of flame sprouted from both sides.

Tatatat—

Tatatat—

Dozens of modern weapons crazily pulled the trigger at Fang Yu and others.

A rain of bullets was probably the best description of the scene before them.

Fang Yu slightly raised his hand.

A whirlwind protective shield appeared right in front.

A round Eight Diagram design, waving-like...Bangbangbang.

Countless bullets hit the shield. Sparks flew everywhere.

...

On Tiandu Mountain's side, the faces of those holding modern weapons changed drastically.

"How... How is this possible?"

"To actually condense Gang Qi into such a realm!"

"This is the pure realm of Supreme Heavenly Rank!"

Indeed.

Fang Yu had entered the slow-turning Secret Realm.

Within the first thirty years, his Primordial Qi realm had entered the Supreme Heavenly Rank realm.

At the same time, his Divine Dragon Transformation had also advanced to the Seventh Transformation Divine Dragon Beast Transformation.

He was not sure if he was a Saint.

But what he could be certain of was, even against an Empress like Emperor Ziwei, a Saint, Fang Yu was confident in battle.

Just as everyone was in awe—

"Stop, everyone."

The whole place fell silent.

Everyone followed the sound.

Behind the crowd... two vehicles slowly approached.

Those were the vehicles transporting prisoners.

Two people were tied on the roofs of the cars, in the form of a cross.

At the same time.

Empress Ziwei arrived behind the cars, riding slowly in a palanquin carried by eight.

...

Fang Yu's group also saw the people on those two cars.

Many exclaimed in surprise—

"Ice God!"

"Master Fang!"

Yes.

Those two people, one was Ice Woman Xie Daoyun, the other was Fang Yu's master, Fang Ju.

The two were tied to the wooden racks, motionless.

"The Blazing Fire Chain binding the Ice God is said to be a Magic Artifact. Combined with her opposing Attribute, the Ice God... must be suffering."

As for Fang Ju, with little Cultivation to speak of, ordinary chains were enough to keep him immobile.

Everyone automatically stepped aside.

In the plaza in front of Tiandu Prison.

Empress Ziwei's palanquin creaked its way over.

Two carriages came to a stop.

The sedan chair did likewise.

The sunlight was blinding, casting its rays upon Empress Ziwei, her presence dazzling in its brilliance.

Here lay the highest authority of Tiandu Mountain.

Whichever place she graced, all would retreat; wherever she dwelled, even the air would congeal.

Empress Ziwei slowly descended from her sedan.

She turned and walked towards the execution platform in the square before the Tiandu Prison.

With a commanding view from above...

There followed a moment of silence.

Empress Ziwei's gaze eventually settled on Fang Yu, and she calmly said:

"So, you're indeed still alive."

Fang Yu stood with his hands clasped behind his back, squinting his eyes and smiling, "If I had died, it would've suited you perfectly. Unfortunately, I don't take pleasure in seeing others get their way so easily."

"The cliff at the back mountain, known as the Abyss of Death... Even the Dragon Emperor did not return alive from it. How did you survive?" Empress Ziwei inquired.

"Me?"

Pointing to himself and then waving his hand dismissively, Fang Yu chuckled, "Just luck... When I fell, I caught on a tree branch. You might not believe it... but beneath that abyss, there are people living, all of whom are rare beauties. I even saw the bones of the Dragon Emperor at the bottom. On one of his hand bones was a jade ring engraved with the words 'Dragon Emperor.' I guess maybe the Dragon Emperor was too ugly for them to rescue. When I fell, they were very kind and enthusiastic, and saved me."

Those words seemed incredibly far-fetched.

But that jade ring could not be faked.

Empress Ziwei's eyes hardened, "I had guessed you wouldn't die..."

"Wow, we really do have a connection, don't we?" Fang Yu laughed.

Observing the self-assured Fang Yu, Empress Ziwei sighed and said slowly:

"Truth be told, for the three days after you fell off the cliff, I believed you were surely dead... But as I thought about it more, something seemed off. There are no certainties in this world, especially for someone like you, who has cultivated all four professions to their ultimate - a Quad Saint!"

"So... I didn't kill them. That's for today. Fang Yu, I am no longer forcing you to join my Tiandu Mountain. Instead, I want to make a deal with you..."

A deal?

Fang Yu smiled slightly, took a few steps forward, saw no one making a move, and continued walking until he stood on the high platform, eye to eye with Empress Ziwei.

Side by side.

"The deal we had last time, you never showed the necessary sincerity, and now you want to talk deal again... Miss Ziwei, do you really think I'm an idiot to believe you again?" Fang Yu squinted his eyes and smiled.

A flicker of complexity crossed Empress Ziwei's gaze, but it swiftly disappeared as she said,

"You have no choice."

She then clapped her hands.

The prisoners from the two carriages, including the old man Fang Ju and Xie Daoyun, were brought up.

Empress Ziwei said indifferently, "Can you stop me from killing them?"

"You can kill them... Xie Daoyun has lived long enough to earn his keep. As for the old man Fang Ju, he's lived quite the life, should have died nine years ago, just shamelessly clinging to life. If you want to make your move, go ahead, I won't flinch. But—"

Fang Yu's voice suddenly turned somber: "If you kill them, I will slaughter Tiandu Mountain!"

He said those words effortlessly.

Yet they caused Empress Ziwei to tremble.

"You've changed."

Empress Ziwei keenly remarked, "You've become smarter than before, and you know how to calculate... But remember, your words must match your strength. Otherwise, no matter how much you talk, it's in vain."

"We'll see," Fang Yu smiled. "Since you're not eager to act, let's hear your deal..."

Empress Ziwei revealed a faint smile and said:

"You never had a choice... My terms are simple. I can spare your friends, brothers, and family. But... you must promise me one thing."

"What is it? If it's a proposition of marriage, then forget it. I have a wife, and she's quite beautiful," Fang Yu waved dismissively.

"It's simple. Heal someone for me. Only you can cure this illness. No one else can."

"Who could this person be, to make you so willing to make such a sacrifice? I'm truly flattered to bask in his reflected glory," Fang Yu remarked.

"You just need to answer, will you agree or not?" Empress Ziwei stated.

"What if I refuse?" Fang Yu asked.

Empress Ziwei slowly raised her hand.

At that moment, several large cannons appeared on the surrounding walls.

And many others were armed with weapons.

Empress Ziwei's voice turned serious:

"If you refuse, I'll have the Tiandu Guard to dismember all the prisoners here on the spot!"
