"Dao Xu Holy Son, Supreme Elder Chen Yimei, we are all old acquaintances, there is no need to say much." Several Void Family Supreme Elders standing on the jade bridge immediately tried to get close once they spoke, and one of the elders with a slightly higher status stared at Fang Han again: "This must be Young Master Feng Yuan, whose fame is now rising abruptly. May I ask a question, have you broken through?"
Seeing Fang Han, the expressions of the several Void Family Supreme Elders were somewhat uncertain.
Because the aura on Fang Han's body was heavily sealed, it hovered between Golden Immortal and Ancestral Immortal.
"Correct, I broke through to the Ancestral Immortal realm not long ago. This time I am exactly here to find Miss Xu Muyun and see how her cultivation is progressing." Fang Han remained impassive: "We entered the Ghost Martial Holy Lord's tomb together and obtained quite a few benefits. If she hasn't been able to advance, I can lend her a helping hand?"
"That won't be necessary, Muyun naturally has a noble person assisting…"
"Cough…"
A Supreme Elder spoke, but having only said a sentence, the person next to him coughed, so he fell silent and spoke no more. This made a doubt arise in Fang Han's heart at once.
"It seems something is inappropriate with Xu Muyun? Could some problem have occurred?" Fang Han frowned.
"Once one advances to Ancestral Immortal, one is a noble among immortals. Once Young Master Feng Yuan returns, he can receive the Feather Transformation Sect's reward, become a Holy Son, and have a boundless future." A Supreme Elder said.
"Alright, it is not suitable to stay here for long, everyone should enter the mountain gate. We have already prepared a light wine reception. After all, our Void Family and the Feather Transformation Sect share the same breath and branches, and Muyun is also a disciple of the Feather Transformation Sect." The leading Supreme Elder said.
"It's not suitable to stay for long right in front of the Void Family's mountain gate? Could it be that some major event occurred here just now?" Fang Han deliberately said: "No wonder when I was coming here, crossing the Liangxu River, I discovered countless chilling auras spanning the sky, and murderous intent lurking within the void fragments. Evidently, an intense battle took place. I wonder who it was that dared to break ground on the Grand Duke Jupiter's head?"
"This…"
The several Supreme Elders were stunned, not having expected this "Feng Yuan" before their eyes to be so formidable, seeing the traces in a single instant.
But it was difficult for them to say that Heavenly Court Divine Prison law enforcement disciples had been killed before the mountain gate, and that the nine great Supreme Elders who struck together were all routed. This greatly damaged the Void Family's face.
Fang Han continued: "By the way, coming out of the Great Shang Ancient Prefecture just now, I saw the Heavenly Court Divine Prison law enforcement disciple, Tu Gang, along with a group of experts. They seemed to have also come to the Void Family to investigate the matters inside the Ghost Martial Holy Lord's tomb. It just so happened that Xu Muyun and I both entered the tomb, so I immediately hurried over in a rush. I was just afraid that Tu Gang would seize the opportunity to make an issue of it and act unfavorably toward Xu Muyun. I wonder if Tu Gang's group is currently in the Void Family?"
"No, they didn't come over. We don't have news of that group either." A Supreme Elder hurriedly said, "It's possible they went somewhere else. You all, please."
Looking at the complexions of this group of Supreme Elders, Fang Han smiled secretly in his heart, knowing that internally they had already reported to the Heavenly Court, while externally they were concealing the matter.
Promptly, his mind set at ease, he followed these Supreme Elders onto the jade bridge, arriving within the Void Family's mountain gate swift as the wind and fast as lightning.
In a guest reception hall of a palace, a banquet was set on a round table, featuring dragon liver and phoenix gall, spirit pills, and jade wine, which were standard immortal family banquet dishes.
Outside the banquet reception hall stood quite a few Golden Immortal seed core disciples.
After all, the identities of Dao Xu Holy Son and Chen Yimei were extremely high, so some etiquette was required. Supreme Ancestral Immortals belonged to the higher echelons within kingly major sects.
Especially since Fang Han had also advanced to the Ancestral Immortal realm, his status was different. If he had arrived with Golden Immortal cultivation, he would only be permitted to stand and not take a seat at the table. The difference in rank was just that strict.
Sitting at the table, Fang Han swept a casual glance and discovered that the cultivation of those many standing seed core disciples was exceedingly high, not below some of the Golden Immortal disciples of the Feather Transformation Sect. A few possessed innate divine elegance and were actually communicating with ancestral spirits, holding hope of advancing to Ancestral Immortal.
The aptitude and bloodline of the Void Family's disciples were also extremely pure, possessing the aura of the Void Sovereign.
"What? Is Junior Sister Muyun not coming out? We made a special trip to the Void Family this time just to see her." Dao Xu Holy Son said carelessly: "Our Feather Transformation Sect's higher-ups have already conducted several meetings to study it, and she can be taken as a key target for nurturing. We intended to bring her back to cultivate in the Feather Transformation Sect this time, to discuss matters regarding the genius battle held by the Heavenly Court."
Dao Xu Holy Son was talking glibly; anyway, he was a Feather Transformation Sect higher-up, so making a temporary decision wasn't impossible either.
"About this, she is currently in secluded meditation attempting to break through to the supreme Ancestral Immortal realm, so it's probably inconvenient. As for recently, she cannot return to the Feather Transformation Sect either." A Supreme Elder hesitated and said: "She likely won't be able to participate in that grand tournament held by the Heavenly Court. Besides, the Heavenly Court's grand tournament is mainly for men to participate, attempting to gain the favor of the Eternal Heavenly Monarch's adopted daughter. As a woman, it is useless for Muyun to go. Instead, exchanging blows with a group of geniuses makes fortune and disaster unpredictable."
"Correct. Encountering ruthless individuals, injury or even death is unavoidable."
"Is that so? I wonder where she is in secluded meditation? Let me go see? I am sure to be able to help her. Having just advanced to the supreme Ancestral Immortal realm, I can pass on my experience." Fang Han stated again.
"There's no need, she certainly has confidence." A Supreme Elder immediately offered an excuse.
"Don't listen to them! Sister Muyun was locked up by them! It was Sister Muyun's interference with internal family interests that offended Void Lord Man of that branch of the Void Family. So she was plotted against, and they are preparing to marry Sister Muyun off. Right now, Xuanyuan Chixiao of the Xuanyuan Family is about to send a king-grade spirit vein over as a betrothal gift."
Suddenly, from among those standing disciples, a child looking fifteen or sixteen years old spoke. This child possessed divine elegance and handsome features, and astonishingly was also at the Golden Immortal cultivation. The Void Sovereign's bloodline in his body was incomparably pure. His sudden speech gave everyone quite a start.
"Shut up! What nonsense are you talking? Xu Baoyu, are you being mischievous here?"
A Supreme Elder's expression changed fiercely. Standing up, he grabbed with a big hand, erupting vital energy to shroud over, intending to grab this child in his hand and seal him, preventing him from saying more.
"This Supreme Elder? Why get angry? Let's hear what the child has to say? Although Xu Muyun is a member of your Void Family, she is also a disciple of our Feather Transformation Sect. She tolerates no humiliation from others." Dao Xu Holy Son pressed his palm down, releasing the Grand Sovereign Seal. Massive amounts of vital energy condensed into the grand seal of a sovereign, slowly rotating. It suddenly suppressed down, and with a loud boom, it smashed that Supreme Elder's vital energy big hand to pieces. Then, executing a profound capture technique, he grabbed that child, intending to bring him before himself to ask clearly.
"Our Void Family's matters, the Feather Transformation Sect should not interfere in." The leader of those Supreme Elders reacted extremely fast. With a turn of his palm, the qi of absolute nothingness bloomed endlessly upon his body silently and imperceptibly. It actually broke open the Grand Sovereign Seal, grabbing the child Xu Baoyu anew and sealing him up.
"Void Fishing Hand!"
Dao Xu Holy Son's expression changed, and just as he was about to execute another Daoist magic, another Supreme Elder struck out simultaneously. A streak of sword qi suppressed down from above, transmuting into a canopy-like heavenly screen, temporarily halting Dao Xu Holy Son's actions: "Dao Xu Holy Son, the guest follows the host's convenience. As a guest, being entertained by our Void Family, you ought to observe etiquette. You should not interfere in our Void Family's internal affairs."
"Words must be asked clearly!"
Fang Han's eyes suddenly flew open, his hands pressing on the table. Bang, bang, bang! Three consecutive explosive sounds shook the entire palace, making it sway. Divine light shot out from his eyes; wherever he looked, Daoist magics retreated and dispersed directly.
Under his gaze, the little boy Xu Baoyu fell down from the Void Fishing Hand. Under his gaze, he gradually stretched out, his entire body bathed in a patch of immortal light, the power inside his body climbing step by step.
Amidst the crowd's astonished gazes, Fang Han beckoned with his hand, and this little boy arrived by his side, steady as a mountain, and no one could imprison him anymore.
"Tell me? What happened? Who dares to imprison Xu Muyun?"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Fang Han acted as if no one else was present and asked this little boy named Xu Baoyu.
Xu Baoyu looked at the surrounding Supreme Elders and said loudly: "After Sister Muyun returned, she had an argument with Void Lord Man over a matter, was plotted against by the direct line of their branch, and got locked up. They want to marry her to a young master of the Xuanyuan Family."
"Who is Void Lord Man?"
"Void Lord Man is from a direct bloodline branch of the Void Family, the eldest young master. He recently broke through to the supreme Ancestral Immortal realm. Because Sister Muyun competed with him for power in the family before, they have always been enemies, so the moment he broke through, he immediately struck against Sister Muyun." This little boy Xu Baoyu hurriedly said: "Big Brother Feng Yuan, you must stand up for Sister Muyun."
"Understood." A cold smile appeared on Fang Han's face. Turning his head, his gaze looked at the several Supreme Elders one by one: "Everyone, what is going on here? Didn't you say Xu Muyun was in secluded meditation?"
"This matter is our Void Family's internal affair. We hope Young Master Feng Yuan will not interfere. Furthermore, Xu Muyun was not imprisoned. She is indeed in secluded mediation, and before long she will marry a young master of the Xuanyuan Family, possessing high position and grave authority. It is a great and good thing."
A Supreme Elder's expression changed first, but then he said quite naturally.
"Supreme Elders, you should not be mistaken. Xu Muyun is a core disciple of our Feather Transformation Sect." Supreme Elder Chen Yimei was somewhat displeased.
"After she marries into the Xuanyuan Family, she will detach from the Feather Transformation Sect, contentedly being a married woman and enjoying wealth and honor." The leader of those Void Family Supreme Elders said: "Before long, our Void Family will send a letter to the Feather Transformation Sect, relieving her of her status as a core disciple. It's perfectly timed that you came over, so take this letter to the Feather Transformation Sect's higher-ups."
With a movement of his hand, this leading Supreme Elder sent a letter flying over.
"Bang!"
Dao Xu Holy Son grabbed at the empty air, smashing this letter to pieces: "Unless expelled from the sect, a disciple of the Feather Transformation Sect cannot easily withdraw."
"I have delivered the letter. Xu Muyun officially withdraws from the Feather Transformation Sect just like that." Seeing Dao Xu Holy Son smash the letter, the Supreme Elder merely smiled.
"Why don't you go eat shit?"
Dao Xu Holy Son rolled his eyes.
