Yang Zhan

"The Primordial Devil Sect excels at illusions and possesses numerous Law Technique and Law Treasure artifacts that can directly attack the soul. Therefore, it's essential to purchase plenty of third-tier Tranquility Talismans, just in case."

"I obtained this Law Treasure, the ' Copper Mountain Seal,' from a Rogue Cultivator at the Golden Core stage. It's earth-based, so I can't use it. But since you cultivate the ' Great Daoyan Five Elements Chaos True Explanation,' you can use it. I'll lend it to you for now for self-defense. You should prepare plenty of pills to quickly restore your Law Power so you can unleash the full power of this Law Treasure."

"Take this calming disc. Once I activate the grand formation, it won't harm you accidentally. You can also use this disc to mobilize some of the formation's power."

"Don't leave your contributions for later; convert them all into combat power..."

In the following days, after telling True Person Jade Liquid that he wanted to go to the battlefield, Fang Yu spent time with Zhang Zhonghu and Fairy Ruyan.

Zhang Zhonghu was quite generous, lending him a third-tier low-grade Law Treasure called "Copper Mountain Silver" for self-defense. He also taught him some battlefield tips and tricks for cross-border combat.

To be honest, these were somewhat useful to Fang Yu, especially the fighting techniques, which were incredibly practical.

Although he had experience in cross-level combat in the past, it was all in lower-level combat, and he lacked experience in higher-level combat.

Now we can make up for it.

After everything was ready, Fang Yu followed the two to a secluded mountain peak inside the gate.

"This is?"

"One more person is coming!"

"Who?"

You'll see when you get there!

After waiting for several days, a sword light shot from afar and arrived in an instant, revealing a female sword cultivator who was less than 1.5 meters tall and had a face like a steamed bun.

Fang Yu glanced at the other party, sensing the aura of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection emanating from him, before turning his gaze to Zhang Zhonghu.

At this moment, the female sword cultivator also looked at him, her brows furrowing as she said with some dissatisfaction, "This is the Jiang Yao you mentioned who participated in refining the Nascent Spirit Transformation Pill? How come he's only at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage? Bringing him along is just a burden!"

Upon hearing this, Fairy Ruyan glanced at Fang Yu, then went up to him and pulled the female sword cultivator aside to talk.

Zhang Zhonghu then flipped his hand, setting up a soundproof barrier, and said, "Jiang Yao, don't mind her, that's just how she is, she never thinks before she speaks!"

Fang Yu didn't mind; he had already figured out the female sword cultivator's identity, but he still needed to ask, "Who is this person?"

Zhang Zhonghu said, "Her Yang Zhan. She is the most talented among the younger generation of Elder Yang Qing's clan in the Sword Pavilion, and a strong contender for the Sword Pavilion's True Disciple. She has cooperated with us several times before, and this time we arranged to go together."

"So they're Elder Yang's clansmen!" Fang Yu said knowingly.

Just then, Yang Zhan glanced in their direction, and a flash of cold light shattered the soundproof barrier that Zhang Zhonghu had casually set up. "Zhang Zhonghu, you come here!"

"I'll go over there first!" Zhang Zhonghu said to Fang Yu and quickly headed over there, entering the soundproof barrier set up by Fairy Ruyan.

Fang Yu withdrew his gaze, his ears twitched slightly, and his Divine Thought passively probed the conversation between the three.

Yang Zhan: "How could you have brought in such a useless piece of trash?"

Zhang Zhonghu: "How can you say that? He's my good brother, and he's quite skilled in Dao of Alchemy. He'll definitely be of use in some situations."

Yang Zhan: "We're going there to kill people, not to refine pills. What use is a pill refiner like him?"

Fairy Ruyan: "A-Zhan, don't worry. Although he's not very useful, but..."

Fairy Ruyan suddenly paused, then turned to Zhang Zhonghu: "Yes, why did we bring him in?"

Zhang Zhonghu: "Didn't I tell you? He... he... he won't hold you back... I trust my brother..."

Yang Zhan: "You believe that nonsense, bro? We're going to risk our lives, bringing along a good-for-nothing is just asking for trouble!"

Zhang Zhonghu: "I'll say it again, my brother isn't useless. At the very least, he can protect himself!"

Yang Zhan and Fang Yu glanced at each other and said, "Let him go back. I'm not going to team up with a Dao of Alchemy disciple who has never fought anyone before!"

Fairy Ruyan: "Um, that... that..."

Zhang Zhonghu: "No, we've already agreed, how can we let him go back? If you don't want to, then forget it. The three of us will go together, you're not an exception."

Yang Zhan: "Zhang Zhonghu, it's been a few months, and you've gotten too big for your britches. How dare you talk to me like that? Believe me or not, I'll kill you."

Zhang Zhonghu: "I'm not afraid of you!"

Fairy Ruyan, "Well, since we've already agreed, I think we should give it a try first. If it really doesn't work, we can just send him back."

Yang Zhan: "Sister Ruyan, don't you hate disciples with no combat experience the most?"

Fairy Ruyan: "I... I think... yes... I'm not the most annoying..."

Just then, Fang Yu looked over, and Fairy Ruyan immediately said, "Wait a moment, let me think about it!"

As she spoke, she turned to look at Fang Yu, a slight smile appearing on her lips, as if she had suddenly realized something. "No matter what, what's already agreed upon can't be changed. A-Zhan, give your sister some face and don't hold it against her anymore."

"I don't care..." Yang Zhan was speechless for a moment, then suddenly looked at Fairy Ruyan, then at Jiang Yao was looking this way, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in realization, "I know, you don't like him, do you!"

Upon hearing this, Fairy Ruyan immediately retorted angrily, "Nonsense! How could I possibly like him? If you dare to spout such nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Zhang Zhonghu chimed in, "Yang Zhan, how can you slander someone's innocence like that? My brother isn't that kind of person!"

"Shut up too!"

Fairy Ruyan glared fiercely at Zhang Zhonghu, feeling that she had truly been bewitched. Although she had previously had some affection for that Jiang Yao...

He sensed that the other party had some talent in Dao of Arrays, but it was only a slight liking. When Zhang Zhonghu suggested taking the other party along, he agreed without really understanding what was going on.

Now they're in a bind, and it's not good to go back on their word. But Yang Zhan has such a loose tongue; he dares to say anything. How could Liu Ruyan possibly like an ordinary inner disciple?

"That's settled then!"

Ruyan Yan spoke, she took a deep breath, her face regaining its composure. With a flick of her hand, she released the restriction and smiled at Fang Yu:

"Jiang Yao, come here for a moment. Let me formally introduce you. This is Yang Zhan, a disciple of the Sword Pavilion. His mastery of the Formless Sword is unparalleled..."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu approached Yang Zhan with a smile, "Greetings, Senior Sister Yang. I look forward to your guidance in the future!"

"You don't need my help!" Yang Zhan snorted coldly, ignoring Fang Yu, and said, "Now that everyone's here, can we set off?" His figure transformed into a streak of sword light and disappeared into the distance.

"Let's go, let's go... let's go too..."

As Zhang Zhonghu spoke, he glanced at Fang Yu, and together they transformed into streaks of light and chased after them.

Fairy Ruyan shook her head and then transformed into a beam of light.
