Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin: I Set Taboos in the Heavens

The remaining soldiers of the Chen family threw down their spears, weapons, and some even threw away their armor, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

"Spare us! We're just soldiers!"

"We are willing to turn our backs on the Chen family, join the Yang family, and work for the Yang family!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I followed the wrong master. My cultivation has reached the fifth level of Qi Gong, the explosive Qi realm. I am willing to do anything for the Yang family!"

All of Chen's soldiers chose to submit.

Faced with overwhelming power, they had no chance to resist.

The Yang family was happy to see this happen, and Yang Zhan, the head of the Yang family, stepped forward. He actually broke through to the Qi Sect realm, which shocked everyone as soon as he appeared.

He ordered Yang Qi to lead the Yang family's elite troops to raid the house, and at the same time, he spoke to Fang Qing, indicating that Fang Qing could also go along and gain some benefits.

This time, the Chen family was defeated, and all of the Chen family's wealth naturally went to the Yang family. However, Yang Zhan did not keep all of this wealth for himself, but was willing to share it with Fang Qing.

As a large army marched towards the Chen family, many ordinary people were too frightened to show themselves, while some busybodies in restaurants and teahouses turned to watch the Yang family army rushing past.

"This is the struggle between the rich and powerful. Once they lose, who knows how many heads will roll!"

In the capital city of Yan, people were talking in a restaurant called Sihai Restaurant.

The Four Seas Restaurant is a behemoth on the Bountiful Continent, established by the Four Seas Merchant Guild. It is an independent force that does not belong to any one individual. They have branches in hundreds of cities across the Bountiful Continent, and the food and drinks they sell are extremely precious. They are made from special spiritual herbs and the flesh and blood of demonic beasts, which can enhance one's power and restore one's vitality.

Of course, the prices at Sihai Restaurant are also very high; a single meal can easily cost tens of thousands of Qi Gathering Pills.

At this moment, there was a table of guests in the Sihai Restaurant, all of whom were young men and women, three men and two women. The men were handsome and dashing, while the women were beautiful and elegant, exuding a noble air.

These five people are very attractive to others, and even some criminals have tried to take advantage of them. However, anyone with a bit of knowledge can tell that these five people are not to be trifled with. The fine wine and food served in front of them are enough to show that they are very wealthy and powerful.

The four-clawed dragon's paw from the seabed, the blue-water fish monster, the Lingzhi wine, the ginseng king soup, etc., all add up to at least tens of thousands of Qi Gathering Pills.

"I never expected to see something like this after arriving in Yandu City. The Yang family and the Chen family fought each other, and the Chen family was wiped out. Now the Yang family is going to raid the Chen family's property. I'm sure they'll find this kind of thing quite interesting."

A young man smiled slightly.

"Confiscating property means taking back all the good things from someone else's home, the wealth accumulated over many years, as well as the women and servants of the Chen family. What kind of mindset would someone have to be in such a situation!"

Another young man spoke up.

"They're just frogs in a well. This fight between the Yang and Chen families is nothing more than a brawl between local rich tyrants. It's not even worth mentioning. But it's a small opportunity for us. Although the Chen family is a nobody from a poor, remote place, far inferior to our Chunqiu Sect, they should still have some treasures. Why don't we make our move first and reap the rewards?"

Another young man spoke up.

"This is not a good idea. We are disciples of the Spring and Autumn Sect, and our sect is trying to upgrade to an academy. It's not a good thing for us to get involved in the feuds of powerful families in the secular world."

A woman frowned.

"Where are you all going? If you leave through this door, you may face bloodshed."

Just then, a voice rang out, and Fang Qing appeared there.

He wasn't very interested in ransacking the Chen family's property, since even if he didn't go, his cousin Yang Qi would get a share after he finished ransacking the house.

So, during the raid on the house, Fang Qing went to the Sihai Restaurant and met these five young people, three men and two women.

"What did you say?"

"Who are you, Your Excellency?"

"Do you know that saying such things to us is an insult to us! In heaven and on earth..."

Upon hearing Fang Qing's words, the three men and two women from the Spring and Autumn Sect immediately showed expressions of extreme anger. However, when they saw Fang Qing, much of their anger dissipated.

There's no other reason than that Fang Qing gives people a strong sense of security and also has the air of someone from a wealthy family.

This kind of powerful family has transcended the scope of Yandu City. Even if Fang Qing travels to the entire Bountiful Continent and to other places, he will still be a powerful family.

When people see Fang Qing, they have the feeling that he is a descendant of a sage family, someone with a great background, and they can't help but submit to him.

Therefore, the young men and women of the Spring and Autumn Sect gradually became more polite when they met Fang Qing.

What advice do you have for me, sir?

One of the women spoke up.

The woman wore a long, turquoise dress with a jade belt with flowing cloud patterns around her waist, which accentuated her graceful figure.

As a cultivator, this woman was naturally very beautiful. Her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, and her eyes were clear and bright, with a hint of flirtatious charm. Her gaze carried a cool and aloof temperament.

When she looked at Fang Qing, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes; she was clearly attracted by his aura.

"Oh? Young master, have you perhaps noticed something?"

A faint smile appeared on the woman's lips, her voice clear and melodious, "I am Qiu Yuwei, a disciple of the Spring and Autumn Sect. May I ask your name?"

Fang Qing's gaze swept over her calmly before turning to the other four and saying indifferently, "Fang Qing."

"square?"

Qiu Yuwei was slightly taken aback, thinking to herself, "On the Bountiful Continent, there doesn't seem to be any major family with the surname Fang... but this person's aura is extraordinary, he is definitely not an ordinary person!"

A man in blue beside her frowned, displeased with Fang Qing's attitude, and said coldly, "Young Master Fang just said we are facing a bloody disaster. What do you mean by that? If you can't give a reason, don't blame us for being impolite!" Fang Qing smiled lightly, his gaze falling on their swords, and said thoughtfully, "I'd like to see just how impolite you are. It's rumored that the Spring and Autumn Sect's Four Seasons Sword Technique is a King-level ultimate skill. Why don't you demonstrate it for me?"

"Insanity!"

Another young man shouted angrily.

Qiu Yuwei raised her hand to stop him, a hint of fighting spirit flashing in her eyes as she stared at Fang Qing with interest: "Young Master Fang seems to know a lot about the Four Seasons Sword Technique? How about... we spar a bit?"

Fang Qing glanced at her and said calmly, "Okay."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Yuwei flicked her slender fingers, and the long sword at her waist was drawn with a "clang," its blade as smooth as autumn water, its cold light gleaming. With a swift movement, her swordplay suddenly unfolded.

"Spring is in full bloom!"

In an instant, the sword light rippled like a spring breeze caressing willows, gentle and dense, yet concealing a sharp edge. The sword energy transformed into countless fine threads of light, weaving into a net that enveloped Fang Qing!
Fang Qing did not move, but simply pointed out with a light finger.

"Om-"

The void trembled, and an invisible barrier appeared. When the sword energy threads struck it, they shattered inch by inch, turning into specks of fluorescent light that dissipated.

A glint flashed in Qiu Yuwei's eyes, and her sword stance changed again.

"Xia Lei Zhenzhen!"

This sword strike was as violent as thunder, and a booming sound could be faintly heard within the sword light, like the muffled thunder before a summer downpour, which was awe-inspiring!

Fang Qing remained unmoved, merely raising his hand slightly, his five fingers loosely clenched, and a mysterious rune appeared in his palm.

"boom!"

The sword energy and lightning struck his palm, but they were completely swallowed up by the runes, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

Qiu Yuwei's pupils contracted, her heart filled with shock.

She gritted her teeth and changed the direction of her sword strike again.

"The autumn rain is falling!"

The sword light was like rain, fine and cold, each "raindrop" containing sharp sword energy, enough to pierce through metal and stone!
Fang Qing remained calm, raised his hand and waved it. As his sleeves billowed, an invisible force swept out, dispersing the rain of swords that filled the sky!
Qiu Yuwei's expression finally changed, and she let out a sharp cry.

"Winter snow vanishes!"

This sword strike contained the meaning of the withering of all things. Wherever the sword energy passed, the air seemed to freeze. Before the sword tip even arrived, the chill had already penetrated to the bone!
Fang Qing finally made a move.

He took a step forward, his figure like a phantom, directly passing through the chilling sword energy, and appeared in front of Qiu Yuwei in an instant.

"Snapped."

His long, slender fingers gently touched the tip of her sword.

"Crack!"

The long sword broke with a sound!

Qiu Yuwei's delicate body trembled, and she staggered back several steps, her pretty face turning deathly pale. She stared blankly at the broken sword in her hand, then looked up at Fang Qing, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"I didn't realize Brother Fang was so powerful! Brother Fang, would you please stay? Our Spring and Autumn Sect is looking to recruit talents from all over the world. If you don't mind, why don't you come with us to the Spring and Autumn Sect? The elders there will certainly treat you with the utmost respect!"

Qiu Yuwei never expected that even though she was already a master of Qigong at the eighth level, she was no match for the person in front of her. Her expression changed several times, finally showing a hint of respect.

She actually wanted to invite Su Qing to join the Spring and Autumn Sect.

"We'll talk when your Spring and Autumn Sect becomes the Spring and Autumn Academy. As for now, if you don't leave, I'll spare you from a bloodbath."

Fang Qing smiled slightly.

Qiu Yuwei's eyes flashed, as if she had realized something, and she clasped her hands in a gesture of respect again: "Young Master Fang is truly a man of great talent; Yuwei has learned a great deal."

She turned to her fellow disciples, gave them a wink, and whispered, "Let's go."

The disciples of the Spring and Autumn Sect looked horrified and dared not say anything more, following Qiu Yuwei as they left the Four Seas Restaurant.

Fang Qing watched their figures disappear, her expression calm and composed.

Although these disciples of the Spring and Autumn Sect were somewhat arrogant, they were sensible enough to save him the trouble of taking action.

He turned to look out the window. At this moment, the Yang family's raiding party had returned in a grand procession. Yang Qi rode a crimson warhorse, full of vigor and high spirits.

Clearly, the harvest was plentiful.

"cousin!"

Yang Qi saw Fang Qing from afar and called out to him loudly.

Fang Qing moved like a phantom, landing beside Yang Qi in the blink of an eye: "How is it?"

"A good harvest. I've also prepared my cousin's share."

Yang Qi laughed heartily.

"We have ten million Qi Gathering Pills, various demon beast cores worth tens of millions, and a Great Thousand Mirror, which I'm about to study with my cousin!" (End of Chapter)
