ed waiting for the next challenger.In a certain room, Xia Zhongwu looked at Jiang Yun, his brows furrowed tightly together. He murmured to himself: "It seems that only Yang Yanzhao from the Yang famil...Beyond the Fang family hall, a middle-aged man walked in. He was imposing with an air of nobility, walking with confidence and power. He was none other than the current head of the Fang family, Fang Chen!

Although Fang Chen didn't have any cultivation aura emanating from him, Jiang Yun could easily guess that the other party was definitely a Heavenly Venerable expert.

As expected, Jiang Qiuge immediately followed up with: "He's the only Heaven Venerable powerhouse in the Fang family."

And with Fang Chen's arrival, Fang Yuan immediately looked like he had seen a savior. He let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly strode forward, whispering, "Patriarch!"

At the same time, Fang Yuan also handed the jade slip in his hand to Fang Chen.

Today's events truly exceeded his expectations, and it was not something that he, as an elder of the tribe, could handle.

Of course, most importantly, he believed a portion of the ephemeral words.

Even when it came to celebrating her own birthday, she would sell off her presents and meticulously detail how much they cost, how they were spent. This speaks volumes about the extent of control the Qiankun Auction House had over every aspect of the Fang family's lives.

Rúyān glanced at Fāng Chén faintly, and instead of stopping, she continued, "The people listed on the roster I gave you will either have a significant increase in income within a specific time frame, or their demand for cultivation resources will suddenly surge."

"These, are the evidence of their being bought off."

Moreover, the truth is that only a few people were truly bought off at first, but these individuals secretly rallied more people to their cause.

"Even some people took this opportunity to settle scores with those they had grudges against in their daily lives, such as those who were possessed."

"In summary, based on the information we have gathered, we have compiled this list. We can't say for certain that it is completely accurate, but we believe that it is correct in 99% of cases."

Therefore, the reason for my coming this time is to take these people back. If there's a misunderstanding, I will naturally send them back unharmed later.

"This matter, for your Fang family, is only beneficial and has no drawbacks."

After all, you wouldn't want your influential family to be secretly divided up by the Thirteen Major Forces and become a hollow shell, would you

Ru Yan closed her mouth, while Fang Chen lowered his head and carefully checked the list inside her using his divine sense, ignoring Ru Yan.

After a long while, Fang Chen finally raised his head and looked at Ru Yan, his face expressionless. "I didn't expect that your Qiankun Auction House would be so concerned about my Fang family."

It's clear that Fang Chen has chosen to believe Ru Yan's words, believing that there are indeed many people within his own family who have been secretly bought by the Thirteen Major Forces.

However, Fang Chen’s eyes flashed with a cold light as he said, “But tell me, what qualifications does your Qiankun Auction House have to take these people away from my family”

Even if they were spies, traitors, at least on the surface they were still our people. Dealing with them would be our own business.

"Just now, you yourself said that your Qiankun Auction House is in business. Since it's in business, then do business properly. Why must you stretch your hand so far, reaching even into my family's affairs!"

Our family, while indeed not wanting to be secretly divided up by others, is even more unwilling to be secretly monitored and have every move we make known.

“Today, since you have given our Fang family such great benefits, then we cannot be too stingy in return.”

As a reprisal, I will cut off your hands so that you will remember this!

As soon as the words left his mouth, Fang Chen suddenly raised his hand and pointed it towards Ruyi.

"Bang!"

The soul of that esteemed ancestor of the Fang family, like smoke before him, immediately raised his hand to meet it. The sound of impact rang out, and the soul of that esteemed ancestor of the Fang family instantly twisted and dissipated.

Fang Chen's actions took many in the Fang family by surprise, after all, it was an ancestor of the Fang family. Such behavior was a great disrespect.

However, they also understood that the Fang family had encountered such a major incident, especially being secretly monitored by the Qiankun Auction House. As the head of the family, this matter had to be resolved thoroughly.

Otherwise, today the Qianshun Auction House could take away a batch of people from the Fang family. Then tomorrow, the Qianshun Auction House might have the possibility to completely cut off the Fang family's path.

After Fang Chen shattered the soul of the first person with a single strike, he raised his hand again without hesitation, ready to kill Ruyan.

And just then, Ruyan spoke again: "Master Fang, if you kill me, your entire Fang family of six hundred thousand people will have to bury me. Is it worth it"

Upon hearing this, Fang Chen's raised hand froze mid-air. His eyes flickered with light, and a cold smile spread across his face: "Empty words, how can I believe you!"

"As smoke shook its head, it said: 'Every single cultivation resource your Fang family has ever bought from outside sources has gone through my Heaven and Earth Auction House. Isn't that reason enough!'"

After finishing his words, Ruyi picked up the teacup on the table and brought it to her lips. Just as she was about to drink, she shook her head gently and put it down, muttering to herself, "I dare not drink tea brewed by your Fang family!"

As the first sentence of Ruoyan came out, many members of the Fang family hadn't understood what she meant. However, her words caused a drastic change in the expressions of all the Fang family members!

Cultivation resources include magic artifacts, elixirs, and heavenly stones. But the most widely used resource is undoubtedly elixirs.

If someone tampered with the pills...

"Impossible!" Fang Chen said coldly, "Our Fang family carefully checks all the cultivation resources we purchase."

If someone were really tampering with things inside, once or twice maybe we wouldn't notice, but over time, it would be impossible to hide.

Ru Yan glanced at Fang Chen, her gaze like looking at an idiot, and said, "What if the person checking also had me tamper with it!"

Fang Chen's body shuddered suddenly, the hand that was raised in mid-air finally slowly lowered.

"Furthermore, Yuanyan continued, "There's no need to worry about checking your bodies. If it were that easy for you to detect, our Qiankun Auction House would have shut down long ago."

"Bang!"

Fang Chen suddenly took a step toward Ruyan, his eyes fixed on her. "What did you do Tell me, and I'll let you go today. Otherwise..."

Before Fang Chen could finish his words, Ru Yan continued, "Otherwise, you'll be using the lives of 600,000 people to bury me"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Fang Chen suddenly shimmered and appeared on top of Jiang Qiuguo, raising his hand to grab him.

Fang Chen's purpose is very obvious, Ru Yan is just a subordinate, the mastermind behind her must be Jiang Qiu Ge. As long as we capture Jiang Qiu Ge, there might still be room for negotiation.

However, what he didn't expect was that Jiang Qiuge didn't dodge at all. As his palm fell, she had already stood up.

"Bang!"

Although this palm strike landed heavily on Jiang Qiugе's shoulder, Jiang Qiugе remained unfazed. On the contrary, Fang Chen himself was sent reeling backward with the force of the blow.

Fang Chen's expression finally completely changed!

Only then did he realize that Jiang Qiuge was also a powerful Tianzun, and her strength was on par with his own.

Jiang Qiugé didn't even look at Fang Chen, she just looked at Ru Yan, with a trace of blame on her face.

And as if letting out smoke, she stuck her tongue out and said: "Sir, you can't blame me for this. Your status is so noble that he wants to use you as a hostage. If you don't come, he has no choice!"

It is clear that Jiang Qiugе had previously said she would not make a move, but now that she was struck by Fang Chen, she was rather displeased.

"Like smoke," he explained, shaking his head helplessly. "Well, I'll just say I'm unlucky, young master. Farewell!"

After finishing, Jiang Qiuge waved her sleeve and left with Jiang Yun directly, leaving Fang Chen and all the Fang family members dumbfounded!

Of course, there was no need to look any further. Fang Chen didn't want the Fang family to be destroyed, so he had to listen to Ru Yan!

Meanwhile, within the Heavenly Patrol Palace, the Heavenly Angel rubbed several black granules in his hand and looked at the purple-clad Heavenly Patrol Officer before him: "So this is Qiu Ge's counterattack against me!"

"Alright, then I'll play with you!". He could only choose two, that way at least he would know the movements of both heavens.With the departure of the two great celestial cultivators, this battlefield finally returned to a temporary pe...
