My cultivation level increases by one year every day!

More than an hour has passed.

Fang Yuan looked at the pile of jade bottles scattered in front of him and sighed inwardly that resources were indeed not limited, but there were still gains.

"Today's training isn't over yet."

I've been busy with all sorts of things all day and haven't had a chance to work overtime yet!

Outside, the night wind was bleak, rustling the branches and leaves of the trees, and the passing servants shivered.

The Fang family is vast; looking down, one sees a complex array of buildings, interspersed with twinkling lights.

Just then, on the eaves of a house.

A dark figure flashed and leaped, clad in night clothes, its aura concealed, as if it had merged with the boundless darkness, its gaze sweeping over every part of the Fang family's residence.

Finally, his gaze fell upon an exquisite villa to the east.

Inside the room, Fang Yuan had the maid clean up the room, then sat down cross-legged, preparing to open the attribute panel.

call out……

A cold glint suddenly appeared.

The pierced solid wood window made a sound, sending wood chips flying straight toward Fang Yuan's heart.

Fang Yuan's eyes turned slightly cold, a hint of surprise flashing across them, but he reacted quite quickly, his body immediately leaning backward until he was almost touching the ground.

Boom... Bang...

After a flash of cold light, a black shadow as fast as lightning crashed open the window, creating a whooshing sound as it moved through the air, its five fingers forming a claw as it grabbed Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan's eyes turned cold. He braced himself with one hand on the ground, using the momentum to move aside. The true essence lightning that surged forth met the hand of the dark figure.

Click!

In an instant, the sound of bones cracking was heard.

The shadowy figure flew backward and crashed into the door, its right arm hanging limply, clearly completely useless.

"Dare to fight me at close range? You're asking for death!"

Fang Yuan sneered. His physical body was far superior to that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his strength was incomparably greater.

"die!"

A faint note escaped from the shadowy figure's mouth.

Ignoring his half-crippled right hand, he unleashed streams of silver-black true essence, thick as pillars, billowing with black energy.

"Seventh level of Foundation Establishment, you're really giving me a lot of face."

Fang Yuan was slightly surprised, wondering who had picked this guy up. His assassination skills were indeed top-notch, and his strength was quite remarkable.

The fact that he was able to infiltrate the Fang residence is enough to prove that he is no ordinary person.

boom……

Fang Yuan waited solemnly, his hands swirling with true energy, crackling with lightning and flashing with dazzling white light, incomparably brilliant.

"Myriad Star Fist!"

Fang Yuan clenched his fists, took a big step forward, his arm muscles tensed, and threw a punch forward with force, like a star falling.

In an instant.

Thousands of stars, interspersed with lightning, fell, displaying righteousness and grandeur. They easily shattered the silver-black true energy and struck the black figure. In an instant, countless dented fist marks were left on his body, and most of his hard bones were shattered.

"He's only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, how can he be this strong?"

Black Fiend's eyes were filled with horror and disbelief. He muttered to himself, blood spilling uncontrollably from his mouth. The intense pain caused his face under the mask to twitch uncontrollably.

"withdraw!"

At this moment, Hei Sha, who had been blasted into the courtyard, had no will to fight. He scrambled to his feet and tried to escape.

"Luckily, he didn't chase after us."

Hei Sha could sense that Fang Yuan's aura was still inside the room, and he took to the air with a sense of relief.

But the next moment.

He was surrounded by three or four elders of the Fang family, all of whom possessed powerful auras that illuminated the night like lamplight.

"Surrender and you'll suffer less later," the Eleventh Elder said coldly.

"Why bother arguing with him? Let's just cripple him."

The Ninth Elder directly condensed his true essence into a palm, his aura vast and powerful, and descended from the sky, intending to suppress this fellow directly.

"Breaking into the Fang family in the middle of the night and daring to assassinate the young master, you have audacity beyond belief! You've gone too far!"

Black Fiend, already severely injured, had barely caught his breath when he was slammed to the ground again, his face making intimate contact with the earth.

"I'll go check on the young master first."

The eleventh elder glanced at the dying Hei Sha, then turned and flew towards Fang Yuan's house, without barging in directly.

Instead, they knocked on the door from the outside and waited for a response before pushing the door open and entering.

"Eleventh Uncle," Fang Yuan greeted him with a cupped-hand salute.

The eleventh elder nodded, and seeing that Fang Yuan's breathing was steady, he finally felt relieved.

"It seems the family's defenses were lax. Luckily you're alright, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain to the family."

Today, the person in charge of guarding the area is an ordinary elder from the Eleventh Elder's lineage. Since it was the other party's dereliction of duty, he is also to blame.

"Who is this assassin?" Fang Yuan asked curiously.

The Fang family is now at the height of its power, with a Golden Core True Monarch presiding over the clan.

Fang Yuan is someone that even the royal family and Qingyun Academy extend olive branches to. Who would be so bold and foolish as to send someone to assassinate him?

"I suspect it's an assassin from Tingxuelou."

After a moment's thought, the eleventh elder replied that he had fought with the assassins from Tingxuelou before and was somewhat familiar with their tactics.

"Listening Snow Pavilion..."

Fang Yuan whispered.

This force was quite famous in the Great Zhou Dynasty, specializing in assassinations and renowned far and wide.

If the price is high enough, they'll even target royalty!

Speaking of which, the name of Tingyu Pavilion, which Fang Yuan founded, was actually modeled after Tingxue Tower, on a whim.

However, the two are still far apart and not comparable.

The tradition of Tingxuelou is long and can be traced back to before the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They had long been rooted in this land.

However, no one knows their exact location.

That's why.

The reason why the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty had long wanted to eradicate this malignant tumor but had been unable to do so for so long was...

"Once we find out where the thieves from Tingxuelou are hiding, we'll wipe them out completely," the Eleventh Elder said angrily.

But Fang Yuan knew that these were just empty words. If Tingxuelou were so easy to find, it wouldn't have survived to this day.

as predicted.

Fang Yuan had just stepped into the courtyard when Hei Sha was already dead.

This is Tingxuelou – ruthless not only to others, but even more ruthless to themselves!

News of Fang Yuan's assassination attempt quickly spread throughout the family, shocking many, but even more so, it fueled anger.

The dignified young master of the Fang family, the carefree Marquis, was assassinated in his own home.

This is utterly absurd.

The elder on duty that night was even more uneasy and wanted to apologize to the family head in person, but he couldn't get around the Eleventh Elder.

"This isn't your fault."

Finally, the elder arrived at Fang Yuan's residence and received this reply, which slightly eased his tense nerves.

"Someone wants to assassinate you, but that's only part of the reason. More importantly, they're wary of the rapid rise of the Fang family."

Fang Zhongwu knew his son was alright, but he still came over to check on him.

"But no matter what, this matter needs to be addressed!"

Fang Zhongwu's expression was serious, exuding an imposing aura without anger, and a sharp killing intent flashed deep in his eyes.

"The Great Zhou Dynasty, Tingxuelou, shall be destroyed!"
