Fang Yu: Uncle Nangong, You Wouldn't Want Others to...

Fang Yu did not care much about having teased and offended a Core Formation cultivator. After all, he had quite a favorable impression of Nangong Wan.

Unfortunately, given his status, Zhong Lingdao and Lei Wanhe of Yellow Maple Valley would never allow him to enter the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land.

Thus, if he wanted to stop Nangong Wan from entering the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land, there was only one method available at present.

"Spirit Beast Mountain and Giant Sword Sect have arrived!"

Just as Rainbow Robed Fairy was about to find another excuse to politely refuse, a Moon-Covering Sect steward cried out in alarm.

Hearing this, Rainbow Robed Fairy hurriedly smiled sweetly.

"I understand what Nephew Fang means. How about we discuss it after the matter of the forbidden land is over?"

"As Senior Rainbow Robed Fairy wishes. This junior shall take his leave."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu knew this approach was no longer viable and that he would need to find another way. Thus, he reluctantly and unwillingly agreed.

After leaving the side of the three Core Formation cultivators, Fang Yu looked toward the group from Spirit Beast Mountain.

He did not spot Han Yunzhi, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. After all, he was still rather worried about her.

Moreover, she did not know Han Li yet. Given Han Li's temperament, he might not necessarily save her.

Although Han Li was a sister-con, Fang Yu was an older-sister-con too!

However, the attire of the Spirit Beast Mountain disciples made him frown slightly.

They wore gaudy, multicolored clothes that were extremely conspicuous. They also had numerous pouches and bags hanging from their bodies, within which living things seemed to stir faintly. The disciples of the other sects could not help but feel their scalps tingle at the sight.

The Giant Sword Sect members were all men. Every one of them wore black robes and carried a gigantic unsheathed sword as tall as a person on his back. Their expressions were incomparably cold, and each one radiated murderous aura.

These were the two sects that left the deepest impression on Fang Yu. Spirit Beast Mountain was also a spy planted in Yue Kingdom by the Spirit-Controlling Sect, one of the six Devil Dao sects of Heavenly Luo Kingdom, but that had little to do with him. Even if he said so, no one would believe him.

Besides, why should he say anything?

After Giant Sword Sect and Spirit Beast Mountain arrived, Blade-Transforming Dock and Heavenly Gate Fortress soon followed. Then, the Core Formation cultivators of the seven sects gathered together to discuss matters.

Meanwhile, Zhong Lingdao of Yellow Maple Valley came to find Fang Yu.

"Junior Brother Fang, Uncle Li asked me to tell you that most female disciples of Moon-Covering Sect are skilled in seductive arts. Do not let them cloud your mind. That Moon-Covering Sect female disciple from earlier was suspicious, so you must be even more careful. If you truly wish to cultivate through dual cultivation with someone, just say the word. Once we return to the sect, he will personally inform Uncle Lei."

Zhong Lingdao of Yellow Maple Valley spoke with earnest persuasion.

What Li Huayuan meant was that he did not approve of Fang Yu taking a Moon-Covering Sect female disciple as a Dao companion, lest something happen and make it difficult to explain to Lei Wanhe.

Had Zhong Lingdao known Fang Yu would cause such trouble, he would never have invited him along. It truly gave him a headache, yet there was nothing he could do.

"Rest assured, Senior Brother Sect Master. I understand. I merely felt that female disciple was suspicious, so I wanted to use this method to test her. Now it seems she truly is somewhat strange."

Fang Yu explained without changing expression.

"So that was it. In that case, I am relieved."

"I also saw that Junior Brother's gaze was clear, without any sign of being bewitched. It seems that female disciple truly is somewhat suspicious."

After hearing Fang Yu's words, Zhong Lingdao finally let out a sigh of relief. He nodded and smiled in agreement.

"Yes. I am not some lecherous man. Even if I were, how could I fail to distinguish what is important?"

Fang Yu added.

"Indeed. Still, if that female disciple truly is suspicious, Junior Brother must be careful."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lingdao reconsidered and offered another reminder.

"I understand. Senior Brother Sect Master, please rest assured."

Fang Yu nodded with a smile.

He had decided that once the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land expedition ended, he would buy a set of formation flags. In any case, he did not lack spirit stones—or rather, spirit herbs. At worst, he still had Foundation Establishment Pills. Spirit stones would not be much of a problem.

While the two spoke, the Core Formation cultivators of the seven sects had already finished their discussion. They returned to their respective formations, then took their juniors into the air and flew toward the legendary forbidden land.

The journey was short this time. After flying for only a few hours toward the border with Yuanwu Kingdom, they landed before a vast, boundless stretch of yellow earthen slopes. Other than piles of stones, not even a blade of grass could be seen. As far as the eye could see, everything was a hazy yellow.

While the Qi Refinement disciples could not move about freely, Fang Yu silently and inconspicuously appeared among the Moon-Covering Sect disciples instead, frightening Zhong Lingdao until his face turned green.

What had they just been talking about?

Being overcome by lust at the sight of beauty!

"Senior Brother, could you please ask that nephew from earlier to come out? I have something I wish to discuss with her."

Fang Yu approached a late Foundation Establishment cultivator from Moon-Covering Sect and cupped his hands.

The other party immediately felt a headache coming on. These stewards naturally knew Nangong Wan's identity, so how could they dare agree?

"Junior Brother Fang, the forbidden land is about to open. How about you come to our Moon-Covering Sect after it is over?"

The Moon-Covering Sect steward said through gritted teeth.

"This... it will not take long. The time it takes to drink a cup of tea will be enough?"

Seeing this, a hesitant look appeared on Fang Yu's face. He cast another lingering glance at Nangong Wan, who was hidden among the Moon-Covering Sect disciples, and continued.

In any case, Nangong Wan could not enter the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land. Otherwise, would he not have come here for nothing?

He had to change something, or this trip would have been in vain.

And the only thing he seemed able to change was this.

"This truly will not do. Junior Brother, please do not make things difficult for me."

The Moon-Covering Sect steward grew increasingly troubled. The other stewards did not want to involve themselves in this matter either. It would not do to make the Core Formation cultivators of the other sects suspicious, though they were already suspicious.

"Uncle, may I ask what you wish to discuss with this disciple?"

Seeing that she could not shake off this lustful fellow Fang Yu, Nangong Wan could only step out from among the Moon-Covering Sect disciples herself. She gave Fang Yu a courteous bow, neither servile nor overbearing, and asked with some irritation born of his persistent entanglement.

"Nephew, no, I should call you Junior Sister instead. After all, I only recently established my foundation. There are too many people here. Shall we speak over there?"

Seeing Nangong Wan take the initiative to come out, the smile on Fang Yu's face grew even broader. He pointed toward an open patch of ground in the distance and invited her.

"Fine!"

Nangong Wan could only agree helplessly.

After speaking, the two headed one after the other toward the open ground in the distance, under the confused, envious, and complicated gazes of the others.

Compared with the desolation of the previous area, this place had a touch more springlike greenery.

"Uncle, what did you wish to say to me? If it is about dual cultivation, there are many sisters in the sect. Uncle should choose someone else. This junior truly finds it inconvenient, and I have never considered dual cultivation with anyone. I hope Uncle will forgive me."

Nangong Wan suppressed the shame and anger in her heart. Her cheeks flushed as she gave a courteous bow.

She swore that once the Blood Trial was over and she recovered her strength, even if Fang Yu hid inside Yellow Maple Valley, she would make him pay.

"Uncle Nangong, you wouldn't want..."
