The two had crossed swords at the Ascension Conference. Senior Brother Lu had lost to Fang Yu in just a few moves, so he naturally knew how formidable Fang Yu was.

"Senior Brother Fang, it has been a long time. I trust you have been well."

Thus, after Senior Brother Lu landed ten zhang away from Fang Yu, he revealed his signature gentle smile that made others feel as though bathed in spring breeze, then cupped his hands and greeted him first.

"I wonder what instructions Senior Brother Fang has. If this is because of the conflict with the two junior brothers a few days ago, then I am willing to apologize to them once more. I only hope the two junior brothers, Senior Brother, and Junior Sister Nie will forgive my rash actions."

Without waiting for Fang Yu to speak, Senior Brother Lu's smile faded, replaced by a deeply apologetic expression that no one could find fault with, causing quite a few watching disciples to nod slightly.

Whether he was sincere or not, this attitude truly made it impossible for anyone to remain angry.

But Fang Yu had no interest in indulging the scum before him. He gave a soft laugh.

"Forget the apology. Since Fang has come, I naturally did not come to hear Junior Brother apologize."

"Besides, Junior Brother used his seniority to bully my two junior brothers. Fang truly cannot answer to our sect over that."

"Therefore, since Junior Brother used his seniority to bully the young, I naturally will not stand on ceremony either. Otherwise, would that not be looking down on Junior Brother?"

Beat the little one, and the big one came out. Wasn't that perfectly normal?

Once those words were spoken, the watching disciples frowned slightly. But upon thinking it over, it did make sense. Some even began to vaguely envy the Murong brothers.

They had not expected Fang Yu to be so domineering, utterly unconcerned with what others might say.

If even the watching disciples felt that way, then the Murong brothers' admiration for Fang Yu grew all the stronger. After all, who would not want a domineering senior brother who protected his own?

As for Nie Ying, her delicate brows furrowed lightly. Though she felt it was somewhat inappropriate, a trace of anticipation still rose in her heart, and faint splendor rippled through her bright eyes.

Who would not like such a protective and domineering senior brother?

"Then what does Senior Brother want?"

Unlike the others' envy, the smile on Senior Brother Lu's face vanished, replaced by an ugly look of wariness. The gaze in his eyes also turned somewhat cold and sinister.

He knew the gap between himself and Fang Yu. Since losing at the Ascension Conference, he had cultivated diligently, yet Fang Yu had still reached the thirteenth level of Qi Refinement before him. In that case, his chances of victory were obvious.

That was why he had shown weakness and apologized the moment he appeared, hoping to let the matter pass. Once his strength surpassed Fang Yu's, he could seek revenge then.

Yet he had not expected Fang Yu to be so protective and unreasonable, completely ignoring his apology and bluntly declaring that he would avenge the Murong brothers.

"What do I want? Last time, you said you would let the two junior brothers have a few moves. Therefore, I will not take advantage of you either. One move!"

"You may make one move first. I will neither dodge nor evade, and will only receive it head-on with spells. If I take one step back, I lose. If I withstand it, then you will wager the Foundation Establishment Pill on you to me. Of course, if I lose, I will give you the Foundation Establishment Pill on me as well."

Fang Yu smiled faintly and directly proposed an enormous wager for a Qi Refinement cultivator: a Foundation Establishment Pill!

As soon as those words fell, Nie Ying's lovely face changed. Her rosy lips parted as she hurriedly said,

"Senior Brother, you must not make such a wager!"

"That's right, Senior Brother, you can't. Absolutely not! If you lose the Foundation Establishment Pill, Senior Sister and Master will beat the two of us to death."

The Murong brothers' expressions changed drastically, and they quickly followed with their own attempts to persuade him.

The faces of the other watching disciples were filled with shock as well. At the same time, they did not forget to send sound-transmission talismans to their friends and fellow disciples.

"A Foundation Establishment Pill? I never imagined Senior Brother Fang would use a Foundation Establishment Pill as a wager. This is truly..."

"Although Senior Brother Fang has a lightning-attribute variant spiritual root, it is not a heavenly spiritual root, so he cannot guarantee one hundred percent success in Foundation Establishment. With two Foundation Establishment Pills, he would certainly succeed. I never expected Senior Brother Fang to set his sights on Senior Brother Lu's second Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Will Senior Brother Lu agree?"

"Who knows? If it is only one move, he might have a chance to win. Otherwise, Senior Brother Lu's chances are not great. After all, the two fought at the Ascension Conference long ago. It is said that not a single participating cultivator lasted more than ten moves against Senior Brother Fang."

"Senior Brother Fang is so formidable. He truly deserves to be a lightning-attribute variant spiritual root."

"What are you talking about? Senior Brother Fang himself is a talisman-making master. Who knows how many talismans he carries? Most cultivators were blasted off the stage by Senior Brother Fang's talismans as soon as they stepped up. They never even had the chance to make a move."

For a time, the Yellow Maple Valley disciples watching began discussing Fang Yu's glorious achievements at the Ascension Conference.

As he listened to everyone's discussion, Senior Brother Lu's expression grew increasingly ugly, and he fell into hesitation.

If they fought directly, he believed that even if he revealed all his trump cards, his chances of victory would not be great. But if it was only one move, then by using the top-grade magic artifact on him, he might have a chance.

And he believed Fang Yu definitely did not know about that top-grade magic artifact.

However, he also knew that Fang Yu certainly did not lack top-grade magic artifacts either. After all, unlike him, Fang Yu had a Core Formation Realm master.

The more he thought of it, the more jealous he became.

They were both cultivators with variant spiritual roots, yet no Core Formation cultivator had taken a fancy to him.

Only several Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators had expressed interest in taking him as a disciple, but he would become a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator sooner or later. How could he possibly agree? Thus, he had tactfully declined.

"Foundation Establishment Pill!"

At the thought of the Foundation Establishment Pill, Senior Brother Lu's breathing became much heavier, and the hesitation in his eyes turned firm.

"Fine. I accept the wager. However, Senior Brother may not use any magic artifact for defense. You may only use spells."

Senior Brother Lu put forth his condition.

Hearing this, Nie Ying's lovely face changed. Just as she was about to object, Fang Yu agreed before her.

"Fine. But after one move, it will be my turn to attack. Life and death are of no concern!"

"Fine, it is a deal. You and I will first swear heart-demon oaths..."

Upon hearing this, a vicious and sinister glint surged into Senior Brother Lu's eyes.

He had to be capable of making a move first!

The moment Fang Yu uttered the four words, "life and death are of no concern," everyone present changed expression. The Murong brothers and Nie Ying in particular had not expected Fang Yu to make such a wager.

Before the three could speak, Fang Yu and Senior Brother Lu had already sworn heart-demon oaths to one another.

Once the heart-demon oaths had been made, Senior Brother Lu, whose scheme had succeeded, threw back his head and laughed.

"Senior Brother Fang, you had better be careful."

Before his words had even faded, he flipped both hands, and a blue banner roughly a zhang long appeared in his grasp. Dim blue light shimmered over the banner, which was embroidered with a fierce azure flood dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

"The top-grade magic artifact, the Azure Flood Dragon Banner! That artifact actually fell into Senior Brother Lu's hands. It is a top-grade magic artifact suited to his attribute. With his twelfth level Qi Refinement cultivation, even senior brothers and sisters at the peak of the thirteenth level of Qi Refinement would not dare receive it head-on without using a top-grade magic artifact."

"No wonder Senior Brother Lu demanded heart-demon oaths. It seems he came prepared. Senior Brother Fang is in trouble."
