Chapter 859: Let Me Correct You (Part 1)
Huangfu Zhan felt a great sense of assurance!
Everything was within his grasp.
He knew that the True Dragon Clan would inevitably receive support from the other great clans.
However...
He never expected Fang Yu to be so bold! He really came!
Huangfu Zhan stepped forward, entering the spot reserved for the Six Clans.
His gaze fell on Fang Yu, and he said:
"You are Fang Yu?"
The whole place fell silent.
Finally...
Fang Yu stood up with a smile, fearless.
"I am."
Huangfu Zhan stood with his hands behind his back, glaringly upright, and his gaze wandered over Fang Yu with great appreciation, nodding as he said, "Young man, I admire your courage..."
Fang Yu replied:
"I also admire your courage!"
As soon as he uttered these words,
the other Six Clans were astonished.
Among the Six Great Clans, there weren't many who dared to speak to Huangfu Zhan like this.
This young man, being a modern person, actually had such boldness.
Some of the more astute individuals suddenly realized a question...
If this person was really as insignificant and lowly as an ant, why did Huangfu Zhan regard him with such importance?
Why would the revered True Dragon Clan, the leader of the Ten Great Bloodlines, be so fussed with a lowly bloodline?
...
Huangfu Zhan looked at Fang Yu with a calm expression and said blandly, "You dare to call yourself Emperor Yu? In this world, those who dare to claim the title of Emperor are all heroes dominating their domains. The True Dragon Clan has had no emperor for generations, yet you are more arrogant than the True Dragon Clan itself. Isn't that audacity? You use modern weapons, set traps, kill eight protectors of the True Phoenix Clan, and cripple my son Huangfu Wencai's cultivation. Isn't that audacity? You brazenly insult the Ten Great Bloodlines, attempting to stand as equals with them. Isn't that audacity?"
Every word was cutting.
Delivered forcefully, without room for rebuttal.
Fang Yu almost couldn't help but applaud.
Upon hearing Huangfu Zhan's impassioned speech,
the people of the Six Great Clans almost stood to challenge Fang Yu then and there,
but Huangfu Zhan raised his hand to calm them.
Clearly, he had more to say...
Returning to the city, Huangfu Zhan knew, he must kill a chicken to warn the monkeys... He had to do it well and not carelessly.
To reestablish authority, how could it be proved by killing a fool?
Fang Yu touched his nose, somewhat in agreement, and said:
"After listening to you, I realize I do have quite the guts! Thank you for the compliment!"
...
Huangfu Zhan glanced coldly at Fang Yu and continued,
"Ladies and gentlemen, do not be deceived by his superficial appearance... He was able to kill eight Heavenly Mechanism Realm protectors of the True Phoenix Clan in one move, showing that his strength is above the Heavenly Mechanism Realm. Moreover, he is a modern person; it is well known that the modern world is deficient in spiritual energy, and only in the past year has spiritual energy begun to recover. After the Secret Realm erupted, exits gradually appeared, which is why we of the Great Clans had the opportunity to return... For someone to cultivate to a realm above Heavenly Mechanism in such a deficient environment, could he be simple?''
The people were greatly shocked.
Indeed,
how could such a person possibly be simple?
No wonder Huangfu Zhan would regard him so highly, going as far as to invite him personally.
The purpose was becoming clear!
Huangfu Zhan continued,
"By his own power, before the return of the Ten Great Bloodlines, he established a Dark Web. The Dark Web is the largest organization before cultivators returned from the mountains to the city, spanning the Jiuzhou Continent. Later, by his personal cultivation, he defeated the previous owner of Tiandu Mountain, who was known as the Emperor Ziwei of her era. That woman was in the Saint Constant Sand Realm as well. You should know, eight thousand years ago, the Constant Sand Realm was considered a significant cultivation!"
The crowd was shocked again!
This Fang Yu actually had such abilities.
They had underestimated him.
Even the effeminate from the Jiuli Clan had an expression of disbelief.
Huangfu Zhan's heart was full of cold laughter; he had achieved almost all of the effects he desired.
Such an opponent was worth his attention and everyone's concern,
but it was still not enough!
Huangfu Zhan added,
"Ladies and gentlemen, even though we have understood his strengths and capabilities, we must not inflate others' esteem while diminishing our own prestige. Since I dared to invite him, it is equivalent to considering him a mortal enemy. He disabled my son's cultivation, and such hatred is irreconcilable; his contempt and insult to the Ten Great Bloodlines must be punished by the eradication of his nine clans. Regardless of my standing as the Clan Leader of the True Dragon Clan or as a father, in both public and private aspects... he is my sworn enemy!"
Then he raised his voice,
"Unfortunately, this Emperor Yu is too arrogant. Here, with the Six Great Clans, plus the True Dragon and True Phoenix Clans, a total of Eight Clans... there are countless cultivators above the Heavenly Mechanism Realm. As for Star Level cultivators, they are even fewer in number. Emperor Yu... where does your confidence come from, as a lone Star Level expert, to dare trespass on my territory, to offend the Eight Great Clans?"
Star Level expert?
They all caught that critical keyword.
No matter how much is said, it ultimately comes down to the cultivation of strength.
A Star Level expert is already not insignificant.
The present Six Great Clans have spent eight thousand years in the Secret Realm to achieve their current accomplishments, yet Fang Yu is actually a Star Level expert! How terrifying!
Even Jiang Wei and Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at Fang Yu with amazement.
However...
Though Star Level is powerful, the leaders of the Six Great Clans are all Infinite Level experts!
In the face of the Infinite, the Star is but a joke.
...
The whole audience was silent.
It is unknown how long before Fang Yu revealed a faint smile, saying:
"I agree with most of what you have said... and acknowledge it. A man should take responsibility..."
The whole crowd was in an uproar. He admitted it!
"However... I must correct you on several points."
Fang Yu's voice became serious, "First, it was your True Dragon Clan who invaded Tiandu Mountain first, so to speak of abolishing your son's cultivation. Even if I had killed him, it would have been perfectly justifiable. You True Dragon Clan only allow yourselves to look down on others, but do not tolerate my Tiandu Mountain having any rules? The rules of Tiandu Mountain are simple, those who offend me... even from afar shall be exterminated!"
Silence.
The whole scene was silent.
Fang Yu continued, "Second, your so-called Holy Daughter is a title you gave. I only know... Ye Wenjun is my legal wife! Ye Wenjun has never acknowledged the so-called title of Holy Daughter. Is your one-sided insistence because you got a door slammed on your head? Let me ask all present, would you be willing if I were to take your wives from your side?"
Nobody would be willing!
"Third, as for the so-called humiliation and insult! I am merely reacting instinctively as a human! I don't understand your rules from eight thousand years ago! Yet you're trying to impose your old set of rules on a modern person, aren't you out of your minds?"
Everyone stared at Fang Yu in shock.
Such gall, to utter such outrageous words!
However...
At this time, Fang Yu's voice paused—
"Even if, for the sake of argument, I did insult your Ten Great Bloodlines, what of it? Are you sure you are capable enough?"
