Anti-Feng Faction

— — — — — — —

Fang Yuan looked at Feng Jiu Ge, feeling a little speechless. He didn't expect this old man could talk so much.

Still, he kept calm and smiled.

"I'll answer all your questions," Fang Yuan said lightly. "Not just for Senior Feng Jiu Ge — any respected immortal here is free to ask whatever they want."

"First, let me make it clear," he continued. "I've created a lot of methods and killer moves myself, it's like one of my talents— you already saw that when I fought He Feng from the Immortal Crane Sect earlier."

"Hmm, that fight was good. Your killer moves and formations... it was something else. I've never seen anything like it, Simple but Perfect!" an immortal from Wind Cloud Manor commented.

The other immortals, even Feng Jiu Ge, nodded in agreement.

Fang Yuan smiled a little wider. "So, to answer the big question— I created a killer move just for my mortal body. It's called Dark Travel."

He went on to explain how Dark Travel worked:

It was a Rank 6 Immortal killer move built around the Fixed Immortal Travel Gu. Its main ability was to teleport the user to any place without leaving a single trace — no aura, no fluctuations.

And more importantly, Fang Yuan had made it possible for a mortal to use it.

Of course, he didn't reveal the detailed method or the move's full structure — only its general effect.

Still, the nine immortals sitting there were shocked. Then, their shock turned to excitement.

A mortal using an immortal killer move? The value of such a method was sky-high.

Feng Jiu Ge's eyes gleamed. He immediately thought of modifying the method and giving it to his daughter, to strengthen her foundation.

"Fang Yuan, just name your price," Feng Jiu Ge said eagerly. "I'll buy that killer move from you."

Fang Yuan stayed calm, as if he had expected this reaction from the start.

In truth, he already knew how this entire meeting would unfold.

He chuckled lightly. "Hahaha~ Senior Feng, I won't sell it."

"But," Fang Yuan added, "I'll offer it as a gift — to whichever sect I decide to join. Same with the right to use this Blessed Land— even though it's technically mine, the sect I join can use it however they want."

He was making it very clear: Recruiting him wasn't just getting one man — it meant gaining an enormous treasure.

Immediately, the offers started flooding in:

"Fang Yuan, if you join us, you'll become an External Elder. You'll have your own courtyard, full independence, and no direct orders."

"We're ready to offer you the position of Guest Elder — real benefits, minimal responsibilities. And... if you're willing, you can even marry my daughter!"

"Fang Yuan, you can be a Supreme Elder the moment you step into our sect."

"Friend Fang," said an immortal from Ancient Soul Sect, smiling warmly. "If you join us, you'll also be made a Supreme Elder immediately. All the gifts you offer — including this Blessed Land — will be counted as your merits. You can trade them for any Gu you want. And we'll help develop this Blessed Land too, as a way of thanking you."

Fang Yuan listened quietly to all the offers. Out of all of them, he only reacted to the one from the Ancient Soul Sect.

He gave a polite smile and said, "Thank you all for your generous offers. Also..."

Fang Yuan paused, glancing briefly at Feng Jiu Ge before looking back at the immortal who had offered marriage.

"I already have someone I love," Fang Yuan said calmly. "So I cannot marry your daughter, Senior."

He spoke with no hesitation.

"Please don't think my heart can waver," Fang Yuan said firmly. "I've already decided — in this life, I will only marry her. No one else."

He added casually, almost lazily, "She's not like the others — pure, and would never act shamelessly like some slut."

"That's it! This is 100% my decision as Fang Yuan!"

The other immortals blinked in confusion.

None of them, except Feng Jiu Ge, understood why Fang Yuan reacted so strongly over something that felt... honestly pretty trivial.

And that "never act shamelessly like some slut" comment — what was that even supposed to mean?

"..."

"Uh, okay."

"Congratulations, Friend Fang Yuan..."

They all gave half-hearted responses out of respect.

But Feng Jiu Ge? His face was dark, his hands trembling slightly from rage.

On the surface, Fang Yuan's words seemed ordinary. But to Feng Jiu Ge, every syllable was sharp and deliberate.

That phrase — "never act shamelessly like some slut" — right after looking at him?

Yeah, he wasn't stupid. Fang Yuan was clearly insulting his daughter.

And then the way he ended it — "100% my decision"?

It was the exact same way that shameless letter Fang Yuan had sent to his family ended: "End of the letter. Fang Yuan was 100% the one who wrote this."

It wasn't a coincidence.

...

"FANG YUAN!"

Feng Jiu Ge stood up, his anger bursting out like a storm. His immortal aura leaked heavily, shaking the air around him.

"Are you trying to pick a fight with me?"

The other immortals immediately tensed up, but none of them moved to stop him.

Fang Yuan stayed calm, looking up at him with a faint smile. "What do you mean, Senior? Did I say anything that offended you?"

"Heh... Yes, you did!"

Feng Jiu Ge's eyes burned with fury. "Are you calling my daughter a slut?"

He made no effort to hide his killing intent now.

Fang Yuan sighed, then casually got up as well. "Come on now, Brother Feng. We've had our problems, sure — but no need to get all worked up."

"I mean, just like I said in my letter — your daughter was the one who was wrong. Still, out of kindness, I forgave her. No need for things to turn so ugly between us."

Fang Yuan didn't even bother to deny it. He didn't say "no, I wasn't talking about your daughter" — he just made it even more obvious.

The other eight immortals watched the scene in awkward silence.

Still, none of them stepped in to defend Fang Yuan. They were just waiting quietly — only if Fang Yuan ended up in a life-and-death situation, well...

They'd step in, save his life, and maybe get their hands on some of his treasures as "thanks."

After all, in this world, profit always came first.

"Hmph. Try not to die, kid. You've really pissed me off," Feng Jiu Ge said coldly.

"A little reminder," he added, his voice sharp, "don't think that beast over there or the blessed land's rules can protect you from me."

With that, Feng Jiu Ge was about to make his move.

Fang Yuan didn't waste time either— he activated the formation he had set up, ready to counter at a moment's notice.

But just as the tension reached its peak, an angry voice suddenly roared out:

"Dammit, Feng Jiu Ge! I knew it — I knew you'd ignore the sect's interests and attack a talented young man just to satisfy your personal grudge!"

"I've always despised you, but now I don't even think you deserve to be called a member of Spirit Affinity House!"

The voice belonged to Xu Hao, a supreme elder of Spirit Affinity House and a Rank 7 wisdom path Gu Immortal.

He wasn't alone either — standing beside him was Li Jun Ying, his wife, another supreme elder, specializing in shadow path.

Together, they were known as the leaders of the anti-Feng faction within Spirit Affinity House.

Seeing Xu Hao and his wife show up, Fang Yuan's smile deepened.

Everything was going exactly according to plan.
