Wushuang

A streak of five-colored light streaked across the sky and arrived Five Elements Island, revealing a handsome and dignified young man.

He looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, but his aura already indicated that he was at the Golden Core Late Stage Great Perfection realm.

The young man looked at Zhang Zhonghu, a smile as beautiful as Jiang Xiasheng on his lips, "Junior Brother Zhang, how have you been?"

Zhang Zhonghu looked at the boy with an unfriendly expression, "Yan Wushuang, what brings you here?"

"What is it!" Yan Wushuang chuckled, "What else could it be? Of course, it's to kill you, the obstacle preventing Senior Brother and Fairy Ruyan from becoming dao companion!"

"Hmph, you want to kill me? Just you wait..."

Before Zhang Zhonghu could finish speaking, a beam of light flashed past him and struck Yan Wushuang in the chest.

A talisman appeared before him, emitting countless rays of light, attempting to block the light. However, it only blocked the light for a moment before being shattered, piercing through Yan Wushuang's body and flying out from his back, revealing a cold, azure moon.

A look of confusion appeared in Yan Wushuang's eyes, and his body shattered like a porcelain vase, turning into streaks of moonlight that slowly dissipated.

Zhang Zhonghu's pupils widened in disbelief as he watched Yan Wushuang being beheaded, while the terrifying moon wheel flew towards him.

He slowly turned his head and saw his good brother Jiang Yao extend his left hand, letting the moon wheel spin in his palm.

He blinked hard, his eyes wide with disbelief, and exclaimed, "You... you killed Yan Wushuang!"

Fang Yu flipped his hand dismissively and said, "He was just a True Disciple, killing him is no big deal!"

Zhang Zhonghu was stunned.

Yan Wushuang was no True Disciple; his talent was exceptional. He broke through to the Golden Core Realm and became True Disciple of the Five Elements Peak within just a few decades of joining the sect, ranking second only to Jiang Xiasheng. If it weren't for the unforeseen events within the True Disciple, he would undoubtedly have become the next senior disciple of the Five Elements Peak.

Such an unparalleled genius, just like that, died.

Fang Yu was very familiar with Yan Wushuang's name because he had frequently appeared in the sect's reports since he joined the sect. His rapid advancement in cultivation was astonishing. However, after the sect was destroyed, he had not heard any information about this person. He never expected that he had already reached the Golden Core Great Perfection realm, which was higher than his own Late Golden Core. He had truly surpassed his predecessor.

However, he was no ordinary Golden Core; the Sun and Moon Startling Wheels in his hand was also a divine weapon, even stronger than ordinary Nascent Soul Spirit Treasure, so killing this person was naturally a piece of cake.

With a flick of his hand, several Storage Bag on Yan Wushuang's body fell into his grasp.

A quick scan with his Divine Sense revealed a slight smile to Fang Yu's lips. The contents of Yan Wushuang's Storage Bag were truly plentiful, many times more valuable than the spiritual resources Zhang Zhonghu had given him this time. Yan Wushuang was indeed a gift of wealth.

"Call..."

Zhang Zhonghu let out a deep breath, his eyes flashing as he looked at Fang Yu. ' Jiang Yao was hiding her true strength so well, possessing such a powerful Spirit Treasure. Yes, this Spirit Treasure Spirit Treasure have been obtained from the Heart-Questioning Cave, just like Yang Zhan's.'

Fang Yu seemed to sense Zhang Zhonghu's thoughts and turned to look at him. "Since Jiang Xiasheng has sent someone to kill you, then this matter is one of life and death. If he wants to steal your dao companion, then he is stealing dao companion. Don't worry, I will definitely help you kill this person."

Zhang Zhonghu snapped out of his daze and didn't know how to respond for a moment. After a while, he said, "Jiang Yao, are you really willing to help me?"

"Of course!" Fang Yu reached out and patted Zhang Zhonghu on the shoulder, saying, "We're brothers for life. Your business is my business. So what if he's the senior brother? So what if he's a Nascent Soul Nascent Soul? As long as we brothers work together, we'll definitely kill him!"

Zhang Zhonghu's eyes welled up with tears. He reached out and grabbed Fang Yu's arm, saying, "Okay, good brother, I'll listen to you!"

*****

The two returned to the Five Elements Hall. Fang Yu brewed a new pot of tea and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me in detail about Fairy Ruyan's current situation!"

Zhang Zhonghu pondered, "She has always been within the Star-Splayed Sect. I even went to look for her before coming here. She said that for the future of the Star-Splayed Sect, she could only form dao companion with Jiang Xiasheng in order to win over most of the True Disciple of the Five Elements Peak and the Nascent Soul elders behind them, especially Elder Yunyang. He is the head of the Five Elements Peak and also Jiang Xiasheng's master. With him joining the Star-Splayed Sect, the Star-Splayed Sect will have two Grand Elders at the Nascent Soul Late Stage."

"So, Fairy Ruyan's freedom has not been restricted!" Fang Yu confirmed.

"Yes!" Zhang Zhonghu nodded and said, "I did suggest that Ruyan leave with me, but she didn't want to, and there was nothing I could do!"

Fang Yu smiled and said, "I have a way to get her to come out with you."

"Really? What's the solution?" Zhang Zhonghu asked urgently.

"You don't need to know the specifics, just get one thing into her hands!"

Fang Yu then changed the subject, saying, "If Fairy Ruyan leaves, it will surely alert Jiang Xiasheng. If we can use this to lure her to a designated location, we can definitely kill her!"

Zhang Zhonghu said worriedly, "With our combined strength, how can we possibly kill Jiang Xiasheng?"

"Who said it's just you and me!" Fang Yu laughed. "You, me, Fairy Ruyan, plus Yang Zhan, and with my pre-set fourth-tier grand formation, we'll definitely be able to kill Jiang Xiasheng."

"Yang Zhan!" Zhang Zhonghu frowned and said, "Yang Zhan has long since stopped associating with us. She's supposedly preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul, so why would she come to help us?"

Fang Yu smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Yang Zhan and I are sworn brothers. Once she receives my message, she will definitely come to my aid!"

"You two have some connection?"

Zhang Zhonghu asked in confusion, "I only remember that you two have never gotten along. When did you become friends? And even sworn brothers?"

"You don't need to worry about that!"

Fang Yu naturally couldn't tell Zhang Zhonghu that Yang Zhan had already died Heart-Questioning Cave, but he used the "Phoenix Sets the Plains Ablaze" Divine Ability to bring him back to life, so they could be considered sworn brothers.

Under the influence of her "Phoenix Sets the Plains Ablaze" Divine Ability, let alone asking her to help, even if she were asked to draw her sword and commit suicide, she would have no choice but to comply.

Zhang Zhonghu still had this question, but Fang Yu's mysterious appearance, he refrained from asking further.

The two discussed for a while longer, planning out the details, such as where it would be most suitable to set up an ambush, whether there were enough materials to set up a fourth-order grand formation, and what to do if it wasn't just Jiang Xiasheng who came.

After everything was discussed and agreed upon, Fang Yu asked Zhang Zhonghu to go outside and wait.

He then took out a memory stone, and the swastika symbol appeared in his eyes. He then reproduced the scene of Fairy Ruyan and Zhang Zhonghu dying of old age in the Heart-Questioning Cave into the memory stone.

Stimulated by this memory, even if Fairy Ruyan still insists on becoming dao companion with Jiang Xiasheng, she should be willing to meet with Zhang Zhonghu.

Of course, if he is truly determined to become dao companion with Jiang Xiasheng and ignores Zhang Zhonghu, Fang Yu will have no choice but to make this scene public. At that time, whether Jiang Xiasheng will still be willing to become a Fairy Ruyan dao companion with Fairy Ruyan is another matter entirely.
