After the brief interlude along the way, the group did not stop for the rest of the journey. Lan Ye's speed was much faster, and Xiao Yan and the rest followed closely behind. They knew that Lan Ye was probably worried that another obstacle like the four elders of the East Valley would appear, so he deliberately increased his speed. Hence, they did not say anything.
Two days later, the group arrived at a city.
Dong Hua City was the headquarters of the Fang Clan. Here, everything was decided by the Fang Clan. Now that they were here, they were truly safe.
It was only at this moment that Lan Ye finally let out a long sigh of relief. He glanced at the innocent looking Fang Zhicong by the side and the corner of his mouth revealed a warm smile. Immediately, he hurriedly looked at Xiao Yan. Before the latter could meet his gaze, he hurriedly shifted his gaze away.
"Master Lan!"
When the group arrived at the Fang clan mansion, the guards outside the door immediately bowed respectfully to Lan Ye. At the same time, their gazes swept over Xiao Yan's group behind him. However, they did not bother with this young master of theirs from the beginning until the end.
Everyone in Dong Hua City knew that the young master of the Fang Family had become a cripple. He was simply a fool. Who would be respectful to a fool?
Glancing at the two guards, Lan Ye was displeased but did not say anything. It was human nature and there was no need to pay attention to them. If he had not been with Fang Zhicong for so many years, even he would not be willing to pay attention to such a person.
However …
Lan Ye's gaze turned and looked at a black carriage not far away. There were strange carvings on it. They looked like beasts or birds, but they were definitely not human. They should be some kind of ancient magical beast totem. Even the magical beast pulling the carriage was a Soaring Cloud Leopard that was difficult to obtain for ordinary forces. Based on this alone, it could be determined that the carriage belonged to no ordinary person.
"This carriage …"
Lan Ye carefully sized up the carriage in front of him. When he saw the strange carvings, he immediately thought of something.
"This is the insignia of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect. Someone from the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect came to the family residence?"
Lan Ye suddenly turned his head. His enmity towards the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect was no less than that of the Heavenly Puppet Sect. These two forces were not good people. Ordinary people would avoid them. Even the Fang Family did not want to have anything to do with them.
But why would people from the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect come to the Fang Clan?
"In reply to Master Lan, this carriage has already arrived at the clan this morning. The people who came are indeed from the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect. They seem to have come to visit the young master with the family head. They are still in the reception hall."
Faced with Lan Ye's questioning, the two guards didn't dare to be disrespectful and hurriedly told him everything they knew.
"Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect? One of the three sects of the Southern Region. "
"Heh, who would have thought that we would encounter two of the three sects of the Southern Region the moment we arrived at the extreme south. In addition to the Burning Flame Valley that we are about to head to, wouldn't we encounter all of them?"
Hearing the conversation between Lan Ye and the Fang family guard, Xiao Yan and the great ape beside him immediately whispered to each other. Xiao Yan glanced at the two of them from the corner of his eye and then looked at Lan Ye. Seeing that the latter did not notice, he was relieved. However, Xiao Yan could not help but be curious about the guard's words. According to his understanding, the Fang family was not under the command of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect. Why would the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect send someone to visit Fang Zhicong?
"Mister Xiao Yan, please come in with me!"
Lan Ye was no fool. In the blink of an eye, he had guessed the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect's intentions. Without saying anything else, he immediately turned to Xiao Yan and clasped his fists in a respectful manner.
When this scene fell into the eyes of the two guards, it caused them to immediately widen their eyes. Their faces were filled with disbelief as they looked at Xiao Yan. It was unexpected that Teacher Lan, whose position in the clan was not low, would actually bow to such a young person. This was really shocking.
Seeing Lan Ye's attitude, Xiao Yan immediately understood what he meant. The Fang family was a large family and their overall power could not be underestimated. The reason why the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect came to visit Fang Zhicong at this time was only a pretense. They probably had other motives and it was related to the entire Fang family's motives.
"Alright!"
Xiao Yan nodded heavily. He understood Lan Ye's feelings. If he was a step too late and the master really did make some sort of deal with the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, it would be a matter that would destroy the foundation of the family.
After which, Lan Ye led Xiao Yan's group and swiftly entered the Fang clan's mansion. They rushed directly to the Fang clan's guest hall. Along the way, they chased away all the clan elders and deacons who had come to inquire. No one was able to stop this group.
Everyone in the Fang family could only watch helplessly as Lan Ye led a group of unknown people into the Fang family residence. However, there was nothing they could do about it.
At the same time, in the Fang family's guest hall, apart from a few high-ranking elders of the Fang family, the other juniors and guards outside had all been dismissed. There were a total of five people sitting in the hall. One of them was a dignified middle-aged man in brocade robes, the other three were white-haired elders in white robes, and the last was a skinny, dark-skinned elder in black robes.
At this moment, the black-robed man was staring at the other four people with a sneer on his face. His right index finger tapped rhythmically on the table as if he was waiting for something.
"Hehe, master of the Fang family, I've already given you the method. I just want to see how you react. If you agree now, I'll immediately give you the antidote that I have. However, if you still want to think about it for a few more days, then I'm sorry, I won't keep you company."
The black-robed man tapped his index finger faster and faster on the table until a certain moment. The black-robed man simply stood up and swept his sharp eyes across the four people present. He exchanged glances with the middle-aged man at the head of the table and smiled coldly. He pretended to raise his foot and instantly increased the pressure in the hearts of the four people present.
"Mao Xun, don't go too far!"
"No matter how much the Fang family needs this antidote, we can't betray our own organization for this!"
"The Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect is delusional!"
Just as Mao Xun was about to raise his foot and leave, the three elders sitting opposite him suddenly stood up and stared at him with angry expressions. They were furious and snorted disdainfully at the matter of betrayal.
"Hehehehe! Good, you guys are really loyal. Since that's the case, I want to ask master of the Fang family. Fang Chi, they don't care about your son, but don't tell me that even you, the father, don't want your precious son! "
Hearing the words of the three elders, Mao Xun's face was cold and disdainful. He directly set his gaze on the master of the Fang family, Fang Chi. He was very clear that no matter how these three old fellows argued, as long as Fang Chi opened his mouth, all of their retorts would no longer be important.
Now, it all depended on Fang Chi's choice.
