The arrival of Lu Xuan and the others caused some people to rejoice while others were worried. Nangong Lie and the others from the Nangong Clan were naturally overjoyed. However, the hearts of the people from the Fang Clan, led by Commander Fang, suddenly sank.
Fang Yuanbai had gone to intercept Lu Xuan and the others, but he had yet to return. On the other hand, Lu Xuan and the others had returned first. There was probably only one possibility for that, and that was that Fang Yuanbai had already fallen. Even if he was still alive, the best that could happen to him was that he escaped with severe injuries. Otherwise, there was no way he would have let Lu Xuan and the others return safely.
But … … Fang Yuanbai was a peak stage Great Void Realm expert. How could he not be able to take down Lu Xuan and the others who weren't even at the late stage of the Origin Realm? Commander Fang couldn't figure out the reason behind this.
"Brother Lu, what's the situation?" Nangong Lie shouted.
"Fortunately, I didn't disappoint you!" Lu Xuan's voice wasn't loud. He was still weak and wouldn't be able to recover in a short period of time.
Nangong Lie burst into laughter. This was far beyond his expectations. He originally thought that Lu Xuan being able to stall Fang Yuanbai would be the best outcome. Who would have thought that not only did Lu Xuan defeat Fang Yuanbai, he even brought back the Nangong Clan's inheritance. It seemed like Lu Xuan's strength was much stronger than he had imagined. The Jiuhua Alliance's strength was truly unfathomable. Even a young man like Lu Xuan had such strength. No wonder he could become the special envoy this time.
"Leave the inheritance behind!" Commander Fang roared and suddenly released an extremely strong force. In an instant, the martial artists surrounding him were forced to retreat and he charged towards Lu Xuan with lightning speed.
But in an instant, two figures blocked in front of Lu Xuan. It was Ao Ze and Yi Yong.
"Go back!" Yi Yong shouted and slashed down with his longsword. A blazing sword qi pierced through the sky and headed straight for the unstoppable Commander Fang.
"Those who betray their masters, how dare they speak so boldly!" Commander Fang furiously roared. He was a pinnacle Great Void Stage expert, so how could he be afraid of Yi Yong's sword? The tip of his spear streaked across the air, instantly breaking through Yi Yong's attack.
But at this moment, another huge figure suddenly burst out. It was Ao Ze!
"Eat my hammer!" Ao Ze's attack wasn't the slightest bit flashy. He held a high-grade Earth-step warhammer in his hand and fiercely smashed it towards Commander Fang.
Commander Fang did not dodge. Instead, he stabbed out with his spear again, intending to force Ao Ze back in one go. However, when Ao Ze's hammer smashed onto his spear, he realized that he had completely underestimated Ao Ze's strength. As a Frigid Pool Giant Dragon, other than having an extraordinary bloodline, Ao Ze's defense and brute strength were extremely abnormal. Even though he was only a Second Level Demon Emperor, he was not afraid of competing with Commander Fang in terms of strength.
A huge explosion rang out. Ao Ze's body was sent flying, but Commander Fang was also forced back dozens of feet. He stared at Ao Ze in shock.
"Fang Bastard, don't run!" A warrior from the Nangong Family shouted angrily. A group of people once again pounced towards Commander Fang. Just now, Commander Fang's sudden burst of strength allowed him to escape from their encirclement and almost injure Lu Xuan. It was really embarrassing for them. They immediately used their trump cards and firmly trapped him.
"The inheritance is in our hands. We can retreat now." Lu Xuan came to Nangong Lie's side and said. The battle here had been going on for a while. Presumably, the news had already spread out. The Fang Family and Sikong Family could send reinforcements through the Teleportation Array at any time. If they continued to fight, it would definitely not be good for them.
Nangong Lie nodded. The purpose of this trip had been achieved. Naturally, there was no need to continue fighting. Just as he was about to speak, an old voice came from the sky, "All of you, stay here!"
Hearing this voice, Lu Xuan's body couldn't help but tremble. He quickly raised his head and saw a red-robed old man who had unknowingly appeared above everyone's heads. At this moment, he was standing with his hands behind his back, watching the battle below. It was actually another peak Virtualized Stage expert!
"It's him! Fang Xiu Zhu! " Yi Yong exclaimed in shock, "One of the few hidden elders of the Fang Family. His strength has already reached the peak Virtualized Stage. He wasn't originally in Scarlet Flame City!"
Someone who wasn't originally in Scarlet Flame City had now appeared here. The meaning behind this was self-evident. The Fang Family's reinforcements … had arrived.
Lu Xuan sensed his own state. After the battle with Fang Yuanbai, he had consumed a lot of energy. Now that he had not recovered, he could probably use less than 50% of his strength. This Fang Xiu Zhu was a hidden elder of the Fang Family. His strength was probably even stronger than Fang Yuanbai's. In his current state, it was impossible for him to deal with Fang Xiu Zhu. This time, it would be difficult.
Fang Xiu Zhu's appearance caused the fierce battle below to pause for a moment. Everyone's attention was drawn to him.
Nangong Lie waved his hand. The people of the Nangong Family retreated and gathered around him.
Fang Xiu Zhu looked at Nangong Lie and smiled, "Nangong Lie, you're really brave. The Nangong Family is already in such a state, yet you still dare to take the initiative to invade Scarlet Flame City. I really don't know whether to say you're brave or stupid."
Nangong Lie returned a smile, as if he wasn't nervous at all. Looking at him like this, Lu Xuan inexplicably relaxed. Could it be that Nangong Lie still had a trump card?
Nangong Lie said, "Do you think that I, who was able to lead the Nangong Family to resist the encirclement of your families for so long, will die here so easily?"
Fang Xiu Zhu shook his head, "That's why I said you're stupid. Even if you have a trump card, it's useless. I don't need to deal with you personally. I only need to delay you for a while. Soon, the people of the Sikong Family will arrive. I think they'll be happy to extinguish the last hope of the Nangong Family."
"Hahaha! It's a pity that they didn't come. Otherwise, I would really be able to thank them properly. " Nangong Lie laughed out loud, then his tone changed, "But it doesn't matter. In any case, you're here. Tsk tsk, I don't know if the Fang Family can still maintain their position as one of the eight major families of the Sacred Palace of Eight Directions after losing three Peak Virtualized Realm experts. Oh, no, it's the Sacred Palace of Seven Directions now."
Hearing this, Fang Xiu Zhu's expression became slightly serious. His hands were no longer behind his back, but he slowly circulated his cultivation method and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by that?"
"What do I mean?" Nangong Lie raised his eyebrows, "Do you think it's so easy to take the Scarlet Flame Palace of the Nangong Family? You're just hitting me when I'm down! "
Speaking up to this point, Nangong Lie's body emitted an extremely strong fluctuation of yuan qi. He slowly raised his hands and shouted, "Scarlet Flame Golden Bell Array, rise!"
