Chapter 259: Chapter 248: Lawless Yu Jinyan

The Five Elements Spirit Array is not easily destroyed, even from within.

Due to its special nature, it embodies an all-encompassing unity, manifesting the true essence of the great Dao.

Therefore, it can only be attacked in the most primitive way, wearing it down bit by bit.

This damage to the Five Elements Spirit Array is irreversible.

It’s just like how Wang Wu uses the Five Elements Spirit Array for alchemy.

In short, amidst the thunder and storm, wind knives and fire dragons, Wang Wu skillfully and swiftly crafts Spirit Pills, akin to a well-coordinated team tackling a raid.

With the assistance of the Five Elements Spirit Array, the results are fast and efficient.

In less than three minutes, two Five Elements Spirit Pills were crafted by Wang Wu.

Then on the other side, a thunderous explosion was heard, and the massive Five Elements Spirit Array was breached. All ten thousand and eight hundred array stones were consumed, turning to dust. Even if Lu Wuchen were here, he wouldn’t be able to trace the cause and effect.

Wang Wu happily acquired two Eighth-Grade Five Elements Spirit Pills, making a total of four, including the two previously crafted. This was truly something valuable, essential for his final Spirit Root refining to achieve a good outcome.

However, four are still not enough; he needs to find a way to make another one.

The destruction of the Five Elements Spirit Array made a huge disturbance, and outside, the young master of the Fan family was still furiously chasing the Blood Crow. Suddenly, he was stunned. What happened? How was the grand array destroyed?

That was the most valuable Five Elements Spirit Array for the Fan family, the foundation of a prestigious lineage. Its destruction alone would be devastating in terms of compensation.

Because they had usage rights, not ownership.

“Caw caw! Master, master, something terrible has happened!”

The Blood Crow screeched miserably. As an experienced Spirit Beast, and a particularly intelligent one, it had already cultivated the Spirit Communication Demon Pill. It was well-versed in the rules of the Human Race; otherwise, Fan Chang wouldn’t have sent it for the task.

However, this time, it wasn’t as simple as a divorce.

The sky was falling, the ground was sinking!

So its first thought was to report this matter to Fan Chang, ignoring even Fan Chang’s eldest son. It flew away in a flash of bloodlight; as a registered and legitimate Spirit Beast, it could summon the Demon Wind to escape.

Meanwhile, Senior Brother Bai, Junior Brother Chu, and others were dumbfounded. What was going on? Didn’t Yu Jinyan kill the Blood Crow and Fan Xiaoyun?

This wasn’t right!

“You beast, don’t run!”

Senior Brother Bai shouted instinctively, implying for it not to flee. They had all been fooled by that female demon; it should come back for a discussion, turning a big issue into a small one. Vice City Lord Fan was reasonable.

However, this shout only made the Blood Crow flee faster. As a flying-type demon with considerable strength, it had hesitated before because Fan Xiaoyun was the Young Master, forcing it to circle. Now there was no room for doubt; it indeed cared deeply for its master.

Now, it was Senior Brother Bai, Junior Brother Chu, and others who were anxious. Fan Chang, being a Vice City Lord, was not to be humiliated. Spreading this would bring everyone shame, especially with a female demon lurking around.

How had the situation deteriorated to this point?

“Senior Brother Bai, make a decision quickly!”

Junior Brother Chu shouted urgently. They were now accused of intentionally destroying the Five Elements Spirit Array. If they had captured Yu Jinyan, it would be different; without doing so, how could they afford the compensation?

“Don’t panic! Yu Jinyan is still nearby, be cautious of her attacks! Call for help; matters have become complicated beyond my control!”

Senior Brother Bai shouted, trying to exhibit leadership. Then he turned his gaze to Fan family Young Master Fan Xiaoyun, who was still in a daze in mid-air. The young lad, only seventeen or eighteen, was now stunned, lacking his prior arrogance.

However, as Senior Brother Bai locked eyes with Fan Xiaoyun, the boy shivered.

“Xiaoyun, my virtuous nephew, come here. That was a misunderstanding; you need to take a trip to explain this to your father.”

Senior Brother Bai called gently, appearing amiable. The Blood Crow Spirit Beast had failed, but there was still the Fan Family’s eldest son, capable of clarifying matters.

In Senior Brother Bai’s view, capturing Yu Jinyan was no longer the primary concern. It was about sharing the responsibility for the destruction of the Five Elements Spirit Array. The Immortal Alliance had its rules, unlike dealing with the Demon Race and Dark Alliance, which allowed for extreme measures.

At least at this moment, the Fan family was loyal to the Immortal Alliance. Pushing them away would dishearten other noble families, making the issue significant.

But the young man in the distance suddenly gave a bitter laugh, shouting with an expression of near tears, “I knew it, I knew it, all of you are just pretenses. You lackeys of the Immortal Alliance! Our Fan family has shed blood for the Immortal Alliance, contributed our strength, and now that we’re weak, you wish to swallow us. Why! Why! We’ve already compromised so much, and you still won’t stop!”

“Where is Yu Jinyan? You fabricated her! Destroying our Five Elements Spirit Array and fabricating charges, you intend to wipe out our Fan family, to eradicate us, isn’t that right!”

“I—I will never trust you again!”

“Xiaoyun, my virtuous nephew, don’t act rashly. We all witnessed Yu Jinyan in Jade Mountain Manor a moment ago. Didn’t you see her escape just now?”

“Moreover, this matter is unrelated to your Fan family! This might be the conspiracy of that Female Demon. Nephew, you must stay calm! Everyone here is on our side. I, the old man, am willing to stake my life to ensure that your Fan family receives a fair and just explanation!”

The Junior Brother Chu seemed to have some connections with the Fan family and immediately shouted anxiously, “Child, what nonsense are you spouting? What lapdogs of the Immortal Alliance? Things are like this, but you can’t speak like that!”

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiaoyun seemed hesitant. Senior Brother Bai seized the opportunity and said, “Nephew Xiaoyun, please trust the old man. If my Ten Thousand Poison Sect, if Moon City, or even the Immortal Alliance wanted to deal with your Fan family, would they need to lie in wait outside Jade Mountain Manor for nearly a year? Think about what your father told you, absolutely do not act rashly. Right now, the most important thing is for you to come here; it’s dangerous outside. Good child, come quickly, and together we shall plan a foolproof strategy.”

“Indeed, Nephew, if you don’t trust us, surely you trust your father? Your father divorced Madam Yu with the intention of drawing out Yu Jinyan, not to wipe out the Fan family. Otherwise, he would have come in person, as he knows the Fan family is trustworthy.”

“Otherwise, if the goal was to deal with the Fan family, would he have allowed your father to divorce? Isn’t this the best excuse?”

Senior Brother Bai had even gone so far as to say all this, and finally, Fan Xiaoyun calmed down and regained his composure.

Yes, merely because the Five Elements Spirit Array was destroyed does not prove that the Fan family will be reckoned with or exterminated, but the Fan family might have to withdraw from noble standings and shoulder a large debt. This is the real concern.

In that moment, Fan Xiaoyun’s expression became worse than before.

After all, he was still young, lacking intrigue, showing his emotions on his face.

At this moment, the cultivators under Senior Brother Bai had already sent out the Help Talisman and quickly set up a Defense Array and a Quick Reaction Sword Array on the spot.

One could only say they were extremely professional.

Even Madam Yu and her two daughters were detained inside, while the other Fan family servants, guardian spirit beasts, and so on were driven aside, kneeling on the ground, awaiting their fate.

One can only say that this squad of Human Race Cultivators was incredibly efficient and skilled.

Wang Wu wanted to take the opportunity to rescue Madam Yu and her daughters but couldn’t, as there were over a hundred miles between them.

Moreover, reinforcements from Moon City would arrive soon, and at that time, everything would be truly settled. Wang Wu also had no good plan for the moment.

Indeed, he wasn’t omnipotent.

Without exposing himself, creating such chaos was already his limit.

The crucial point was that Senior Brother Bai and Junior Brother Chu were both very steady; although they expressed such heartfelt concerns for Fan Xiaoyun, they didn’t take a step out of the Defense Array.

Otherwise, couldn’t a Third-Grade Cultivator catch a small child?

It’s laughable.

Thus, Wang Wu decided to follow along, to see if he could rescue Madam Yu before she was sent to the Northern Wilderness Frontline’s Seek Death Camp.

Mmm, he would only rescue Madam Yu; her two daughters were obviously not in danger. Even he could tell by now, the Fan family was truly fine. The Immortal Alliance wouldn’t act against them; otherwise, they wouldn’t have allowed Fan Chang to divorce.

At this moment, Fan Xiaoyun ultimately feared Yu Jinyan more, and he flew toward the Defense Array of Senior Brother Bai and others using Sword Control. But just as he was about to arrive, a mournful cry came from directly north.

“Son! Run! The Immortal Alliance wants to uproot our family!”

The voice was so familiar.

Wang Wu looked north immediately, seeing a towering figure treading on sword light moving towards them, none other than the owner of Jade Mountain Manor, Fan Xiaoyun’s father, Fan Chang, who had just divorced Madam Yu!

Why had he come?

However, his state did not seem good, very disheveled, and he appeared to be severely injured.

And also, what is the meaning of this?

“It’s an impostor, not your father! Sword Array, eliminate him!”

Inside the Defense Array, Senior Brother Bai reacted quickly, mainly because he had ample experience and knew Fan Chang very well. What a joke, if the higher-ups wanted to deal with the Fan family, would they need to be so roundabout, going through so many hoops?

Yet he had overlooked Fan Xiaoyun, who was emotionally unstable, whose mind was not yet fully developed, mainly lacking a sense of security—a ticking bomb.

As he spoke, Fan Xiaoyun’s rage flared. How could he annihilate the person on the other side, his father, without a word of greeting?

Who is truly on his side, isn’t it obvious?

He was already in a Sword Control state and was less than a hundred meters from Senior Brother Bai and the others. With a direct sprint, he locked onto Senior Brother Bai and charged forward.

At this moment, Wang Wu suddenly felt something was amiss; this Fan Xiaoyun, he’s a fake.

Damn!

It’s the little sister-in-law!

It’s truly beyond the bounds of right and wrong; how did she manage this?
