"Mr. Xiao Yan, we know you are a Five-Star Dou Di, but this matter concerns the life and death of our Fang Clan. We cannot allow Mr. Xiao Yan to joke about it!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's extremely arrogant words, the family elders in the hall couldn't help but frown, exchange glances, and then look at Xiao Yan with slightly somber expressions, saying in a deep voice.
Although the person before him was indeed a Five-Star Dou Di, he was still quite young, and his strength couldn't possibly be that great. He would probably struggle even against Wang Xiang alone, yet he dared to utter such arrogant words; wasn't he overestimating himself?
"Elder, Mr. Xiao Yan is currently a respected elder of our Fang Clan. As the elder, can't you even distinguish his status and position?"
Although Fang Cheng didn't readily believe Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Yan had already agreed to become a retainer of the Fang Clan a day earlier and promised to fight for the Fang Clan. Logically and emotionally, what their Grand Elder had said was somewhat excessive.
As soon as Fang Cheng uttered those words, the First Elder's expression changed slightly. He quickly stood up and bowed to Xiao Yan, who had already walked to the center of the hall, to apologize.
The latter waved his hand dismissively, which was understandable, since that was the rule of the Origin Martial Continent. Generally speaking, it was impossible for a Five-Star Dou Di to fight two Five-Star Dou Di at the same time without being defeated. These elders of the Fang Clan were just reasoning based on common sense.
However, Xiao Yan's strength cannot be judged by common sense.
"I don't understand what Mr. Xiao Yan was saying just now..."
After hesitating for a while, Fang Cheng finally asked the question tentatively.
" Fang Clan Head, please rest assured. I will take care of those Dou Di experts from the Wang Clan. You just need to deal with the rest of the Fang Clan."
Xiao Yan smiled slightly, a confident smile spreading across his face. This sight made Fang Cheng and Yuan Qing raise their eyebrows inwardly, filled with suspicion.
Does Xiao Yan really possess that kind of strength?
"I wonder what percentage of confidence Mr. Xiao Yan has?"
"Ten percent."
This time, as soon as Fang Cheng uttered the last word, Xiao Yan calmly replied with a faint smile.
"Hiss!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall gasped in shock, their faces showing disbelief.
Based on what they know about the Wang Clan, the other side has four Dou Di experts: two Five-Star Dou Di, one Four-Star Dou Di, and one Three-Star Dou Di. With such a lineup, they already have an advantage in terms of the number of Dou Di experts. Logically speaking, the Fang Clan has no chance of winning.
"Then, the Fang Cheng will be entirely up to Mr. Xiao Yan!"
After a moment of contemplation, Fang Cheng finally gritted his teeth and spoke solemnly. The Fang Clan's situation was now extremely precarious, and there was no time to make further plans. They had no choice but to take a desperate gamble, hoping that there might still be a glimmer of hope for survival.
This was a huge gamble, and the stakes were their entire family!
Success or failure, it all concerns the fate of the Fang Clan!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, nodded, and glanced at everyone present. Then, he turned around and walked out of the hall, a playful smile on his lips. He looked up and gazed in the direction of the Wang Clan.
He never expected to encounter that guy again in Helan City. He had let him go the first two times, but this time, Xiao Yan would not be so magnanimous.
In the hall, after watching Xiao Yan leave, the elders of the Fang Clan turned their attention back to Fang Cheng, who was seated in the main seat.
"Clan leader, are you really going to place all your hopes on him? It's true that Mr. Xiao Yan is Five-Star Dou Di, but this matter concerns the survival of our Fang Clan. We can't just blindly trust an outsider like him, can we?"
Fang Shang, who are you calling an outsider!
Upon hearing the elder's words, Yuan Qing, standing beside Fang Cheng, frowned and shouted in a deep voice.
"Lord Yuan Qing, please don't misunderstand. It's not that we don't trust you, it's just that this Xiao Yan..."
"Enough!"
Before the Grand Elder could finish speaking, Fang Cheng slammed his hand on the armrest, his face contorted with anger, and stood up, shouting in a low voice:
" Fang Shang, you'd better remember this: Mr. Xiao Yan is now an honored member of our Fang Clan. His strength is enough for us to believe his every word. If you really think Mr. Xiao Yan can't defeat two Five-Star Dou Di, then why don't you go and see for yourself?"
"I... I..."
Fang Shang was greatly alarmed. With his cultivation level of Nine-Star Half-Emperor, how could he possibly be a match for Five-Star Dou Di?
"Hmph, you yourself don't even have the ability, yet you dare to doubt others. Fang Shang, you need to understand this: it's not Mr. Xiao Yan begging us for help, it's us begging him. If he's unwilling, he can simply turn around and leave! If you dare to continue to be disrespectful to Mr. Xiao Yan like this, then don't blame me for removing you from your position as Grand Elder!"
Fang Shang admits his mistake!
As the head of the clan, Fang Cheng spoke with an imposing and authoritative voice, which made everyone in the hall tremble with fear. Fang Shang hearing Fang Cheng's words, Fang Shang immediately understood and quickly apologized to Fang Cheng.
"Hmph, the one you should apologize to is not me, but Mr. Xiao Yan."
Before Fang Cheng could sit down again after being given a reprimand, dozens of powerful auras appeared above the Fang Clan mansion. The overwhelming pressure of these auras was like a meteorite falling from Mount Tai, pressing down on everyone in the Fang Clan.
The entire Fang Clan was on high alert at this moment. Everyone tensed up, and their Dou Qi surged out of their bodies. They used the strength of the entire family to resist the oppressive aura from above.
"Hahaha, Fang Cheng, the three-day deadline has passed. Since your Fang Clan is still unwilling to leave Helan City, does that mean you intend to integrate into my Wang Clan and become a branch of my Wang Clan?"
In the sky, Wang Xiang's mocking laughter echoed like thunder. Inside the Fang Clan's council hall, a group of high-ranking officials hurriedly came out, looked up at the sky, and gazed at the group of people high above.
Especially when Fang Cheng's gaze fell upon the people around Wang Xiang, the expression on his face immediately became extremely solemn.
It seems that the situation is much more complicated than he had imagined.
Besides these four Dou Di powerhouses, there are two other One-Star Dou Di behind Wang Xiang.
What surprised Fang Cheng and Yuan Qing the most was that the person standing next to Wang Xiang was not the Five-Star Dou Di, but the Eight-Star Half-Emperor who had come with him. The other person stood to his left and right, clearly regarding the Eight-Star Half-Emperor as the center.
This Eight-Star Half-Emperor's identity is probably extraordinary!
"Tch, just a mere Four-Star Dou Di, Wang Xiang. You actually invited me here? Do you think you can scare them with your strength?"
At this moment, the Eight-Star Half-Emperor beside Wang Xiang also detected the cultivation levels of the people in the courtyard below. After discovering that the strongest person was only Yuan Qing, Four-Star Dou Di, a mocking smile involuntarily appeared on his gloomy old face.
"Hehe, Lord Xu, I did this just to be on the safe side. The Fang Clan has been a thorn in the side of my Wang Clan for so many years in Helan City. Now that we can finally resolve this issue, how could I dare to be careless? I'm only asking you to come because I hope that your reputation can be used to intimidate them and make them give up their resistance and join our Wang Clan. That would be the best outcome."
"Hmph, you invited me here just to intimidate the Fang Clan? I'm afraid it's much more than that."
Upon hearing this, the old man in the brocade robe, addressed as Lord Xu, gave a mocking smile. His gaze swept over Jin Ge behind him, and then over the Dou Di experts in the void above the city. He had a rough idea of Wang Xiang's plan.
"Uh... hehe, we both understand."
"Alright, what a tacit understanding! But considering what you brought, I'll help you this once."
Lord Xu smiled coldly, while Wang Xiang inwardly scoffed. If the person in front of him wasn't after personal gain, why would he help them? This kind of guy, relying on his abilities, rakes in money everywhere. Blinded by greed, he'll die from his avarice sooner or later!
While these people in the sky were chatting and laughing insincerely, in the Fang Clan mansion below, Xiao Yan, dressed in black robes, was also looking at the person " Lord Xu " who was being embraced by two Five-Star Dou Di in the sky with a cold smile.
The so- Lord Xu" mentioned by Wang Xiang is actually Xu Songming, the newly promoted Third-Tier Alchemist of the Alchemist Alliance who twice defeated Xiao Yan!
