Fang Yue sneered in his heart, but pretended to struggle in pain on the surface, panting and saying: "You...don't even think about...getting the dragon soul..."

Xuantian Zhenren frowned slightly, feeling that Fang Yue's resistance seemed unexpectedly tenacious.

But he didn't think much about it, just thinking that the power of the luck dragon soul was indeed extraordinary.

"Humph, if you don't accept my toast, you will be punished! Then I'll see how long you can hold on."

Xuantian Zhenren snorted coldly and increased the power of the Ten Thousand Dragons True Shape Diagram.

The dragon shape in the diagram became more lifelike, as if it was about to break out of the diagram.

The golden light flashed, and the suction force became stronger, and the whole study was filled with the sound of dragon roars.

However, Fang Yue still stood firmly in place, "painfully" resisting.

The power he secretly accumulated was close to the peak, and he was just waiting for an opportunity to give the enemy a fatal blow.

At this moment, Qingyang seemed to notice something wrong.

He looked at Fang Yue's "struggle" and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He quietly walked to Fang Yue's side, trying to observe Fang Yue's situation closely.

Fang Yue's heart trembled, knowing that this was his chance.

The moment Qingyang approached, he suddenly burst out with the power he had accumulated for a long time, and slapped Qingyang with one palm.

Qingyang was caught off guard and was hit in the chest by Fang Yue's palm. He immediately vomited blood and flew backwards.

He hit the wall heavily, then slid to the ground, and was unable to get up for a while.

Xuantian Zhenren was shocked when he saw this, and quickly put away the Ten Thousand Dragons True Form Diagram and attacked Fang Yue.

But Fang Yue had already taken the initiative. He dodged Xuantian Zhenren's attack with a flash of his body, and at the same time, he backhanded and knocked Xuantian Zhenren back several steps.

"You two idiots, do you really think I'm so easy to be trapped?"

Fang Yue sneered, and his figure approached Xuantian Zhenren like a ghost.

Xuantian Zhenren was horrified. He didn't expect Fang Yue to be able to move so freely in the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation.

He hurriedly activated the formation to try to trap Fang Yue again, but it was too late.

Fang Yue subdued Xuan Tian Zhenren with one move and said coldly: "Now, it's my turn to ask you. Where is my brother's family?"

"You...your brother's family?"

Xuan Tian Zhenren widened his eyes and looked at Fang Yue in surprise, "I...I don't know what you are talking about..."

Fang Yue's eyes flashed with a cold light, and the strength in his hands unconsciously increased a few points, causing Xuan Tian Zhenren to cry out in pain.

"I advise you to tell the truth."

Fang Yue said coldly, "You took my brother's family away, thinking you could use it to threaten me. But now, the situation has reversed."

Xuan Tian Zhenren was sweating profusely in pain. He really didn't know the whereabouts of Fang Yue's brother's family, so he could only beg for mercy again and again: "Brother Fang, I really don't know where your brother's family is! All this was arranged by Qingyang, I was just responsible for cooperating with his actions."

Fang Yue frowned and turned his eyes to Qingyang who was lying on the ground and unable to get up.

He walked over, squatted down, and stared coldly into Qingyang's eyes: "Tell me, where is my brother's family?"

Qingyang coughed up a mouthful of blood and smiled bitterly: "Will you let me go if I say so?"

Fang Yue's eyes were cold: "No!"

"Haha, you are indeed someone I value!! Okay, okay, okay, I will tell you that your brother and his family are indeed in this city, in the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion! Do you dare to save them!"

Fang Yue hit Qingyang with a palm, and he was killed instantly.

He stood up and looked coldly at Xuantian Zhenren who had been restrained.

"You are no longer of any use." Fang Yue said indifferently, and then ended Xuantian Zhenren's life with a palm.

The study suddenly became quiet, leaving only Fang Yue.

He picked up the Wanlong True Shape Map Fang Yue picked up the Wanlong True Shape Map, and an inexplicable excitement surged in his heart.

This legendary treasure is now in his hands.

He took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and began to observe the map carefully.

The dragons in the picture are lifelike, and each dragon seems to have life and may break out of the picture at any time.

Fang Yue can feel the powerful power contained in the picture, which shocked him.

But now he has no time to study it, so he has to put away the picture of the true form of ten thousand dragons, and then leave Xuantian Pavilion, taking advantage of the night to go to the city lord's mansion in the center.

In the night, Fang Yue is like an agile cheetah, shuttling between roofs and streets, quietly approaching the city lord's mansion.

He knows that his brother's family is imprisoned in the dungeon of the city lord's mansion, and he must rescue them as soon as possible.

The city lord's mansion is heavily guarded, but Fang Yue said that these guards seem to be useless.

With his superb light skills and concealment skills, he easily avoided the patrol team and sneaked into the mansion.

Just as he was searching around, a guard suddenly appeared in his sight.

Fang Yue was startled, but he quickly calmed down, using the surrounding buildings as cover, and quietly approached the guard.

The guard didn't seem to notice Fang Yue's approach, he was still patrolling seriously.

Fang Yue took the opportunity to jump up, quickly subdued the guard, and dragged him to a hidden corner.

"Tell me, where is the dungeon?"

Fang Yue stared at the guard's eyes and asked coldly.

The guard was frightened by Fang Yue's momentum, he trembled and pointed in a direction, "The dungeon... is over there..."

Fang Yue looked in the direction pointed by the guard, and saw a gloomy dungeon entrance coming into view.

He felt happy and immediately ran towards the entrance of the dungeon.

When he arrived at the entrance to the dungeon, he found two guards guarding the entrance.

Fang Yue was not in a hurry to act, but quietly observed for a while.

He found that the two guards were not very alert and there was still some distance between them.

Therefore, Fang Yue took the opportunity to dodge, quickly approached one of the guards, and knocked him out with one palm.

Another guard turned around when he heard the noise, but it was too late.

Fang Yue knocked him to the ground with a heavy punch.

After taking care of the guards, Fang Yue immediately pushed open the dungeon door.

A cold breath hit his face, the dungeon was dark and damp, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell.

Fang Yue's brows furrowed as he walked along the narrow corridor, carefully looking for his brother's family.

Finally, he stopped in front of a cell.

Through the bars of the cell, he saw his brother and his family, who were thinking about them day and night.

Their clothes were ragged and their faces looked haggard, but they did not appear to have been tortured.

When they saw Fang Yue, their faces showed expressions of disbelief.

But then, he put on an urgent look: "Brother He, go quickly, leave us alone, get out of here quickly, this is a trap!"

At this moment, a gloomy voice echoed in the empty dungeon, making people's hair stand on end.

Fang Yue suddenly turned around and saw a man in black with a sinister face walking out of the shadows. It was Chen Tuan, the chief steward of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Hahaha, Fang Yue, you have indeed fallen into the trap." Chen Tuan smiled sinisterly, approaching Fang Yue step by step, "Do you think you can save your family? You are so naive."

Fang Yue looked at Chen Tuan coldly. Although he was angry in his heart, he remained calm on his face, "Who are you and what do you want?"

"It's very simple, hand over the Luck Dragon Soul and I will let your family go." Chen Tuan said greedily as he stared at the true shape diagram of Wanlong in Fang Yue's hand.

"Do you think you can threaten me?" Fang Yue's tone was cold, without any sign of panic.

Chen Tuan's smile became more sinister, "The lives of your brother and his family depend on your thoughts. I don't think you want to see them suffer any harm because of you, right? Although your strength is good, but The prince has already laid a dragnet here, and you can’t escape even with your wings!”

"Since it's a dragnet, let me see how strong your net is." Fang Yue said without changing his expression, while secretly observing the surrounding environment and looking for possible escape routes.

A trace of cruelty flashed in Chen Tuan's eyes, "Huh, I won't shed tears until I see the coffin. Come out!"

Following Chen Tuan's order, dozens of soldiers in armor and full of vitality suddenly emerged from the shadows around the cell.

They were armed with spears and shields and had cold eyes. They were well-trained and quickly formed a circle to surround Fang Yue and his family.

These soldiers are different from ordinary guards. The vitality flowing in them shows that they are all accomplished warriors, and it can be seen from the emblems on the armor that they belong to the elite guards of the city lord's palace.

Fang Yue looked around, but his expression remained calm.

Although these soldiers were strong, they were only at the innate level and were far behind him. In his eyes, they were not strong enough to pose much of a threat.

"Chen Tuan, do you think you can trap me with these people?" Fang Yue said with a hint of disdain in his tone, "You underestimate me too much."

Chen Tuan's face darkened, "Fang Yue, you are too arrogant. I know you are powerful, but what if you add these people to yours!"

As Chen Tuan finished speaking, several figures slowly walked out from the end of the corridor outside the cell.

Their steps were steady, and every step they took seemed to make the ground tremble. They were obviously people with extraordinary strength.

Fang Yue took a closer look, and his heart sank.

These three people were the chief minister of the shrine and two highly respected elders in the royal family.

They have profound attainments in martial arts. Each one of them is a master of martial arts, and their strength is unfathomable.

Their appearance undoubtedly added another layer of stormy waves to this already extremely tense confrontation.

The great worshiper has a stern face and is dressed in gray clothes. Although he is old, his eyes are shining, showing his deep inner strength and extraordinary cultivation.

As for the two elders of the royal family, one has white hair and a kind face, but exudes an aura that no one dares to underestimate;

The other one had a cold face and was dressed in black, like an unsheathed sword, with its edge clearly visible.

Fang Yue looked at the three martial arts masters in front of him. Although his heart was solemn, his expression remained calm.

He knew that these three were all long-established martial arts seniors, and any move by any one of them would be enough to cause shock in the world.

But at this moment, they appeared here at the same time, obviously to deal with him.

"Fang Yue, do you know your guilt?"

The great priest spoke coldly, with unquestionable majesty in his voice, "You stole the royal treasure and dared to resist arrest. You are committing a heinous crime!"

Fang Yue sneered, "If you want to inflict a crime, there is no need to hesitate. In order to get the destiny dragon soul, you really did everything possible. But you want me to hand over the dragon soul, but you are delusional!"

"Hmph, if you don't eat the toast, you'll have to drink it as a penalty!" Lengmian Su Lao snorted coldly, and with a flash of his body, he attacked Fang Yue.

His movements were as fast as lightning, and he struck out with a palm, carrying a sharp palm wind, directly hitting Fang Yue's vitals.

Fang Yue ducked and easily dodged the palm. At the same time, he struck back at the cold-faced old man.

The two of them immediately fought together, the wind of their palms whistling, their vitality surging, and they were fighting inextricably.

At the same time, Da Zongfeng and Baifa Su Lao also joined the battle group. The three of them teamed up to besiege Fang Yue and try to capture him.

Fang Yue was surrounded by three martial arts masters. Although he faced tremendous pressure, he still remained calm and determined.

However, at this moment, Chen Tuan suddenly shouted: "Fang Yue, if you don't stop, I will immediately order the killing of your brother and his family!"

This shout was like cold water pouring on someone's head, causing Fang Yue's movements to freeze momentarily.

He looked back and saw Chen Tuan holding a bright knife in his hand and holding it on his brother's neck.

Fang Yue's family was tightly controlled by several soldiers. They looked frightened but could not break free.

"Chen Tuan, how dare you!" Fang Yue roared, a trace of anger and panic flashing in his eyes.

"Hahaha, Fang Yue, you finally panicked."

Chen Tuan laughed loudly, "As long as you hand over the Luck Dragon Soul, I will let your family go. Otherwise, their lives will be difficult to save."

Fang Yue was extremely anxious. He knew that he could not act rashly, otherwise the lives of his family would be in danger.

However, how could he be willing to hand over the Luck Dragon Soul?

At this moment, the great worshiper said coldly: "Fang Yue, don't be stubborn. Hand over the dragon soul, and we may be able to open up a wide net and let you live."

Fang Yue smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that this was impossible.

Once he hands over the dragon soul, he will not only lose the bargaining chip to protect his family, but he will also fall into a place of no return.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He knew that now he had to come up with a best-of-both-worlds solution that could not only save his family but also preserve the dragon soul.

A trace of determination flashed in Fang Yue's eyes, and he had to make a decision in a very short period of time. Looking at his kidnapped family members, his heart felt like it was being torn apart, but he knew that he couldn't panic or be confused now.

"Okay, I promise you." Fang Yue said in a deep voice, his voice revealing helplessness and determination, "But you must first release my family before I hand over the dragon soul."

"Do you think I will believe you?" Chen Tuan sneered, "You must hand over the dragon soul before I release him."

"You release him first, or I will shatter the Luck Dragon Soul and make you get nothing." Fang Yue's tone was firm.

The scene suddenly fell into a stalemate, and the air was filled with tension.

The great worshipper and the two elders looked at each other, as if they were communicating with their eyes.

Although they long for the Luck Dragon Soul, they are not willing to see this treasure destroyed.

Chen Tuan's face was gloomy and he stared at Fang Yue, as if judging the authenticity of his words. (End of chapter)
