Fang Yue was lying on the ground, breathing hard. His eyes were fixed on Duke Wei, and his strong body was constantly recovering.

However, Duke Wei no longer had the arrogance he had before. He was half-kneeling, his face was pale, and he seemed to be struggling.

The two looked at each other like this, and neither of them took the initiative.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the air around them became extremely solemn.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the brief silence.

A team of officers and soldiers rushed in from outside the temple and surrounded the battlefield.

The leader was a general in armor. He glanced around with a cold look, and finally fell on Fang Yue and Duke Wei.

This man's surname was Chen, his name was Shixu, and he was the son-in-law of Duke Wei.

When General Chen saw Duke Wei half-kneeling on the ground with a pale face, he was immediately shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to support the shaky Duke Wei.

He was furious, and his eyes shot at Fang Yue like a knife, as if he wanted to cut this lunatic who dared to hurt his father-in-law into pieces.

"Father-in-law, what's wrong with you? Who hurt you like this?" General Chen asked anxiously.

Duke Wei raised his head with difficulty, pointed at Fang Yue opposite him, and said weakly: "It's him, he hurt me, kill him for me. No, killing him is too easy for him, cut this lunatic into pieces for me!"

General Chen was furious when he heard this. He suddenly drew out the sword at his waist, pointed at Fang Yue, and shouted sternly: "You are so bold that you dare to hurt the Duke! Come on, take down this lunatic for me!"

The surrounding officers and soldiers immediately responded, drew their weapons, and rushed towards Fang Yue.

They all knew that General Chen was the son-in-law of Duke Wei, so they naturally wanted to do their best to protect the face of Duke Wei.

However, at this time.

Facing the approaching soldiers, Fang Yue's face did not show any fear.

His eyes were looking straight at the general in the armor. Others could not see it, but from his position, he could see the strong murderous intent in the man's eyes looking at Duke Wei!

And the next moment!

Chen Shiqi actually raised a sword and pierced Duke Wei!

This scene came suddenly, and everyone was stunned. Fang Yue was also shocked. He did not expect that General Chen would do such a murderous thing to his father-in-law.

Duke Wei's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. He seemed to want to say something, but only blood flowed out of his mouth, and his body fell softly.

Seeing this, the officers and soldiers around stopped and looked at General Chen in front of them at a loss.

Shouldn't they obey Duke Wei and kill the enemy in front of them?

Their general was the son-in-law of Duke Wei, how could he kill Duke Wei?

However, Chen Shiqi did not pay attention to the reactions of the people around him. He slowly turned around and faced Fang Yue. There was no anger and murderous intent in his eyes, replaced by a deep calm.

"You are very good, you can make my father-in-law so embarrassed." Chen Shiqi said lightly, "But the game is over. Now, it's your turn."

"Listen, the traitor Fang Yue attacked and killed the Duke of Wei, he should be executed!"

After a brief shock, the officers and soldiers around raised their weapons again and rushed towards Fang Yue. Although they were puzzled by Chen Shiqi's behavior.

But they were all General Chen's private soldiers, and they all knew that they must obey General Chen's orders unconditionally at this moment.

Although they were full of doubts and confusion in their hearts, they still executed the order without hesitation and regarded Fang Yue as an enemy.

Fang Yue was shocked when he saw this.

But he was not afraid, because in this short period of time, his combat power had recovered almost everything, and his strong body made his recovery ability far beyond ordinary masters of the same level.

Facing the private soldiers rushing up, Fang Yue calmly analyzed the situation.

He knew that although these private soldiers were numerous, their cultivation was much worse, but they were martial arts masters.

In ordinary counties, they were considered masters, and even their military formations could fight against the innate masters.

But for him, it was not good enough.

Facing the private soldiers who rushed up, Fang Yue responded quickly. His body movements were agile and elegant, and he shuttled among the private soldiers like a gust of wind, cleverly avoiding their attacks.

At the same time, the long sword in his hand danced like a dragon, and every time he swung it, it was accompanied by a sharp sword energy. In just a few breaths, all these soldiers were killed.

"I didn't expect that you were injured by the old thief with the secret talisman, but you still have such combat power. It's amazing!"

"But that's it, you must die today!" Chen Shiqi's voice was as cold as ice, echoing in the temple. He stared at Fang Yue with a sinister look, as if he wanted to completely destroy this madman who dared to challenge his authority.

Fang Yue smiled coldly. He was not afraid of Chen Shiqi's words.

On the contrary, his eyes flashed with determination, as if saying: "You don't have the ability to kill me!"

He knew that although Chen Shiqi was powerful, it was not so easy to kill him.

His injuries had recovered almost completely, and his combat experience and skills were far beyond Chen Shiqi's reach.

Chen Shiqi saw that Fang Yue did not show any fear, and he could not help but feel a little angry.

As the son-in-law of Duke Wei, he had always been high above everyone else, and no one dared to provoke him. But today, Fang Yue made him feel unprecedented frustration.

"Okay, since you are so reckless about life and death, then I will help you!" Chen Shijuan roared angrily, and disappeared instantly. The spear in his hand turned into a cold light and stabbed Fang Yue violently.

The spear broke through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, and a cold light flashed on the tip of the spear, as if it was about to pierce the air.

When Fang Yue saw this, his eyes narrowed and he did not dare to be careless at all. He knew that Chen Shijuan's strength was extraordinary, and he used all his strength with this shot, which was astonishingly powerful.

He dodged and skillfully avoided the spear attack. At the same time, he swung the long sword in his hand and slashed at Chen Shijuan with a sharp sword energy.

Chen Shijuan dodged and escaped the attack of the sword energy, with a hint of a sinister smile on his face. He had a figure like the wind, holding a spear, and launched a fierce attack on Fang Yue again.

The two started a thrilling battle in the temple. The swords were full of swords and the shadows of guns were heavy. The fight was inextricable.

Chen Shijuan's spear danced like the wind, and each shot contained astonishing power and murderous intent, as if he was going to put Fang Yue to death.

However, Fang Yue is not an ordinary person. He is agile in movement and sharp in swordsmanship. Every time he swings his sword, he can skillfully neutralize Chen Shijuan's attack.

The battle between the two entered a fierce stage, and they were inseparable. The surrounding officers and soldiers had retreated far away, for fear of being injured by the aftermath of the battle between the two.

Suddenly, Chen Shijuan revealed a flaw, and Fang Yue's eyes flashed, and he instantly seized the opportunity.

He flashed and appeared behind Chen Shijuan like a ghost. The long sword in his hand turned into a streak of sword energy and instantly penetrated Chen Shijuan's back.

"Poof!" Chen Shihuan spurted a mouthful of blood, staggered forward, and finally fell to the ground.

He looked at Fang Yue in disbelief, as if to say: "How is this possible?"

Fang Yue looked at Chen Shijuan who fell to the ground coldly, without the slightest trace of pity on his face.

He knew that this man was the son-in-law of Wei Guogong, and he would never be merciful to his enemies.

"You lost." Fang Yue said calmly, his voice echoing in the empty temple.

When Chen Shihuang heard this, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

He tried to struggle to stand up, but his injuries were too severe, and he finally fell to the ground weakly. His eyes were still staring at Fang Yue, seemingly filled with endless unwillingness and resentment.

Fang Yue didn't look at him again, turned around and walked out of the temple.

The sun shone on him through the clouds, coating his figure with a golden glow.

He knew that this battle was over and Chen Shijuan would definitely die.

Next, he should hide and keep a low profile and wait for things to ferment.

Waiting for the enemies of the Wei family to add insult to injury.

As the days passed, people were talking about it in a teahouse somewhere in Yujing City, and the news spread rapidly as if it had wings.

"Have you heard? The dignified Duke was attacked and killed by the Blood Dragon Platform. This is really a strange thing in the world!" One person said mysteriously, which attracted the attention of the people around him.

"Shh, keep your voice down, this matter is big or small, don't let the officials hear it."

Another person quickly reminded him, but his eyes were shining with excitement, obviously he was extremely interested in such secrets.

"What are you afraid of? Now this matter has spread like wildfire, and everyone in the city knows about it. It is said that the Duke was half kneeling on the ground at that time, his face was pale, and he had no power to fight back."

Another person interjected, speaking vividly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"Yes, yes, I heard about it too. And, guess what? It is said that the Blood Dragon Platform was eventually killed by General Chen, the son-in-law of Wei Guogong! This is really a good show."

Someone said, his tone full of teasing and ridicule.

"Hmph, this Wei Guoping is domineering and oppressing the people all day long. Someone should have dealt with him a long time ago. This Blood Dragon Platform can kill the Duke, which can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people." Another person said indignantly. said.

"Hush, stop talking nonsense. Blood Dragon Terrace is a traitor designated by the imperial court. Besides, the government will not let you go!" someone asked persuadingly.

People in the teahouse were talking a lot, and various news and speculations emerged one after another. However, no one knows what the truth is.

At the same time, in a remote corner of the teahouse, Fang Yue was quietly sipping tea.

At the same time, in a remote corner of the teahouse, Fang Yue was quietly sipping tea, as if he was outside the hustle and bustle.

His eyes were deep, as if he could see into people's hearts, and he seemed to be thinking about future plans.

Things turned out as he expected. After Wei Guogong's death, the huge Duke's mansion collapsed in an instant.

Those forces that once relied on the Duke of Wei were now scattered like a fallen tree and looking for new backers.

~~~~~~

"Master Fang, the guards have sealed off the Duke's Mansion, please give me your permission!"

At this moment, a man in black attire suddenly appeared next to Fang Yue and whispered a report.

This man is the inspector of Yujing City and one of the main persons in charge of inspecting the Duke's Mansion this time. Fang Yue, as the representative of Si Tianjian, was responsible for supervising this operation.

Fang Yue nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction. He put down the tea cup in his hand and stood up slowly, his eyes flashing with sharp light.

"Very good, take me to the Duke's Mansion now." Fang Yue said calmly, with an unquestionable majesty in his tone.

He knew that now was the time to accept the legacy left by Wei Guogong.

Although Duke Wei has fallen, there must be a lot of wealth and treasures hidden in his mansion, which are important resources for his future development.

The man bowed and responded, then led the way in front and took Fang Yue out of the teahouse.

The two walked through the bustling streets and soon arrived in front of Duke Wei's mansion.

The door of the Duke's mansion was closed, and the towering courtyard wall revealed the majesty and dignity of the past. The stone lions in front of the door, which were originally majestic, also looked a little lonely at this moment.

Fang Yue's arrival did not cause much commotion.

He was dressed in casual clothes and acted low-key to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.

The man walked up and knocked on the door gently. After a while, a cautious question came from the crack of the door: "Who is it?"

"City Inspector, there is something important!" The man replied in a low voice.

The door creaked open a crack, and an old servant opened the door. He stuck his head out and saw Fang Yue behind the man, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

But at this moment, the soldiers around rushed in immediately.

The soldiers around saw the door open and rushed in immediately, without giving the old servant any time to react. They quickly controlled the entrances and exits of the Duke's Mansion to ensure that no one escaped.

The old servant was frightened by the scene in front of him, but he hurried to stop him and said, "What are you doing? Do you know where this is? How dare you come here to make trouble!"

The old servant's words revealed fear and anger, but he obviously couldn't stop these soldiers who had decided to act.

The soldiers were like wolves and tigers, and immediately slapped the old servant away with one palm.

The old servant was slapped away and fell heavily to the ground, groaning in pain.

The next moment, these soldiers began to block all the intersections of the Duke's Mansion and began to search the house with their teeth and claws.

Immediately, there was chaos in the Duke's Mansion.

Those servants and maids who were usually arrogant were now like frightened birds, fleeing everywhere.

They knew that if the Duke of Wei fell, they, the servants, would not have a good end.

Fang Yue ignored these people and went straight to the inner room of the Duke's Mansion.

This is where Duke Wei handles government affairs and rests on weekdays, and it is also the core area of ​​the entire Duke's Mansion.

The inner room is gorgeously decorated, with various precious ornaments and calligraphy and paintings everywhere. Fang Yue's eyes swept over these things, but did not stay for too long.

He knew that although these were priceless treasures, they were not the main target of his action this time.

His target was the secret books and elixirs for cultivation and other items treasured in the Duke's Mansion. (End of this chapter)
