Zhang Rongfang was at a loss for words, looking at the farce in front of him.
He had only lightly kicked a small pebble, precisely hitting the opponent's ridian and Qi and Blood gathering point.
Unexpectedly, the guy's posture was incorrect, he exerted too much force, and then sprained his foot...
To be honest, the first ti he was truly innocent, it was only the second ti that he really added a bit more force.
But the first ti, he just wanted the opponent's force to weaken itself, he didn't think much more.
At night, with his current physical condition, no one could notice.
He just didn't expect the effect to be so good.
'Could it be that I kicked the pebble and made him sprain his foot?' Suddenly, a thought flashed through Zhang Rongfang's mind.
'No...impossible, this guy is a Sixth Grade, he can't be that useless, can he?'
Zhang Rongfang was a bit uncertain in his heart.
He couldn't rember how much strength a Sixth Grade could have...
But to prevent any accidents, he had only used one-third of one-ten thousandth strength.
It should... not be him...
At this ti, his brother-in-law had already hastily sent soone to chase after his sister.
Zhang Rongyu, due to her pregnancy, couldn't keep up, she could only co over to comfort Chen Yuxi, helping her stabilize her emotions.
Whatever test Zhang Rongfang had there, was already of no importance.
Seeing the situation, Zhang Rongfang also greeted his sister and went back to rest on his own.
Since things had reached this point, it wasn't important to him but more important to quickly appease Lu isha and Chen Yuxi.
And to forbid the people around not to spread the word externally.
In a way, Zhang Rongfang's purpose was also achieved.

Upper Capital.
The white moon hung like a hook.
On the deck of the painted boat.
The mask in Moon King's hand cracked and fell, hitting the wooden board with a dull sound.
He took a deep breath.
"Truly, I haven't breathed so freely in so long...."
Unlike his leisurely manner, Daoist Qingyi and the Western Sect's Elder across, both had their pupils shrinking.
Every single action happening now, even to such top-notch masters as they were.
Had completely taken them by surprise.
The Moon King was actually....
"Yue Dewen!!! You're indeed not dead!!" The Elder's sharp voice suddenly exploded.
"I suspected you wouldn't die so easily, but I didn't expect that you are actually the Moon King!! So that's how it was, so that's how it was!! You and Jin Yuyan.... no wonder you coordinated so harmoniously!"
"Who said I'm Yue Dewen?" The Moon King laughed strangely. "I'm Yue Dewen's brother!! This ti I've co, just to avenge my brother!"
"....Daoist brother, quite the scher. Back then, you deceived us all, not only clearing out many traitors within the Sensing Sect but also pushing two forces into the shadows...."
Compared to the Elder, Daoist Qingyi was only surprised for a mont before quickly regaining his composure.
He looked fixedly at the Moon King.
"At this point, whether you are Yue Dewen or not is no longer important. What matters is, you've indeed won this round."
In the Great Capital, whether it was the Spirit Emperor or anyone else, they were all focused on Yue Dewen, not allowing him to deify himself.
And now....
Looking at that face that was just like Yue Dewen's in his youth.
Everything had already reached a conclusion.
"Qingyi, you're still as cunning as ever.... I went over to your side, and ended up cleaning up your discarded pieces... interesting." The Moon King laughed.
"This old Daoist only preemptively perford so rehearsals before. Now, everything happening before is just slightly outside my expectations." Qingyi glanced at the highly emotional Elder next to him. Then looked once more toward the Moon King.
He turned, lightly tapped his toes, suddenly leapt up, landed on the river under the night sky, and vanished among the many lotus lanterns.
He just left so effortlessly!
Left so decisively, without any hesitation.
Watching Qingyi leave, the Moon King's gaze lingered with interest on the Elder.
"What? Up for a spar?"
"Heh.... Do you think you've won? Even if you take this round, it won't be long...." The Elder knew without Qingyi, relying on himself alone, he definitely couldn't win against the other party.
Before he finished speaking, he also bounced his body, like a real ball, pressed heavily on the deck, flew out, and in a blink disappeared into the night.
The Moon King alone was left standing on the deck, looking toward the direction they both had left.
He suddenly began to chuckle.
The laughter gradually grew louder, beca more resonant.
"Now.... who can stop !? Who dares to stop !?"

Wushan Prefecture, forr Golden Wing Pavilion.
On the original site of the Golden Wing Pavilion, rebuilt after the fire, now much smaller in scale, and all replaced with Great Dao Teaching's banners.
At this ti, at the entrance of the mountain forest pathway.
A group of high-ranking mbers had been long waiting here.
The two leading figures were the Swinging Mountain Tiger Ding Yu, who was subdued by Zhang Rongfang, and Qingsu, who rushed over from Tan Yang City.
Qingsu was now vastly different from her past self.
She still wore a white skirt, but the Essence Qi she radiated was far stronger than a few years ago.
Following the path of speed and body technique, focusing primarily on training with the Golden Roc Secret Record, she now had a slender figure, straight and powerful legs, and wore black leather trousers beneath her skirt, ready to fight anyti without worrying about getting caught in forest bushes.
On the other hand, Ding Yu had changed even more drastically.
After joining the Great Dao Teaching, his talent, combined with his background, quickly gained him the cultivation attention he deserved.
Now he was a master skilled with Super Grade external dicine three tis over.
Born with Innate Divine Power, stepping into Super Grade now greatly amplified his past strength.
Clad in a simple white robe and pants, the robe's open chest revealed countless scars.
"Sister Qingsu, if you don't express your feelings to the lord this ti, you might really lose the chance in the future. Everyone knows your thoughts. How long can you wait at your age?" Ding Yu said with a smile.
"Whether I'm old or not, it's not up to you to decide!" Qingsu was instantly triggered. "As long as I have a good figure, a good appearance, and strong abilities, the lord definitely won't discard ! Unlike you! Chased everywhere by a young girl."
"Keep deceiving yourself then." Ding Yu chuckled, having sworn an oath of siblinghood with Qingsu, making their relationship tighter than before.
"Soone's coming." Just as Qingsu wanted to say more, she suddenly looked up, gazing into the distant forest.
"Be cautious! Doesn't seem like the lord!" She had barely finished speaking.
Everyone saw a shadow in the forest dart out like an arrow, soaring over their heads and landing lightly behind the main door.
The person's speed left Ding Yu unable to react.
He tried to see the person's form, but by the ti he saw it and wanted to react and block, it was too late.
"Who goes there!?" Qingsu raised her hand sharply, assuming a defensive stance, her expression grave.
As knowledgeable in body techniques, she alone understood how impressive the other's maneuver had been.
Leaping out of the forest, the person horizontally glided over twenty ters before landing, nearly parallel to the ground instead of a parabolic arc.
The landing was almost silent.
Such control was simply a lifeti rarity!
"Long ti no see. Qingsu, you're still the sa, haven't changed a bit."
The newcor lifted his head and looked at the plaque before slowly turning, revealing Zhang Rongfang's smiling face.
"Lord!?!" Qingsu blinked, hearing the familiar voice and seeing the familiar face, but feeling…
"Lord, what did you eat to grow so fast!?!" Before she could speak, the Swinging Mountain Tiger Ding Yu couldn't help but ask, looking stupfied at Zhang Rongfang.
He clearly rembered that when they last parted, the lord wasn't so tall.
How co he's taller than he used to be by a head this ti?
"Eating people, want to learn?" Zhang Rongfang joked.
"Really!?" Ding Yu's personality was clearly more cheerful than before.
"Of course not." Zhang Rongfang replied, "Where's Bao Ning? Why haven't I seen him?"
He had a good impression of Bao Ning. A capable person, very useful.
"Bao Ning…" Qingsu and Ding Yu exchanged a look.
"He's been married and has a chunky kid now. But later, he found out his son, like him, has dwarfism, so a month ago, he submitted a report to you, seeking treatnt outside." Qingsu explained.
"Dwarfism…" Zhang Rongfang recalled many cases from his past life; this illness could definitely be hereditary. As for the report, he wasn't in Qingchuan a month ago, so it was no surprise he didn't see it.
"Alright, this ti I'm here partly to check on your progress and partly because I have a mission for you."
Currently, Zhang Rongfang didn't have many subordinates.
Originally, he planned to assign the task to the extrely clever Bao Ning. But now, Bao Ning clearly wasn't suitable.
The number of powerful people under him was also limited...
"Just say the word, my lord! No matter the mission, we've waited long enough, idled long enough, and we're eager to act!" Ding Yu said while patting his chest.
He certainly didn't intend to be intelligence chief here.
Rather than loitering here, he was more eager to seek revenge against the Sea Dragon!
"You want to confront the Sea Dragon?" Zhang Rongfang discerned his thoughts at a glance.
"Of course! I've thought of it for years! Every mont I think about it!!" Ding Yu's expression gradually beca somber.
"My brothers are gone! Yet, they're still around, happy! Which makes... very unhappy."
"Complete this mission, and I'll take you to confront the Sea Dragon." Zhang Rongfang calmly stated.
The forr Sea Dragon King had died by his hands; if it weren't for concerns over the Western Sect Grandmaster, he'd have already gone to Great Capital's Sea Dragon headquarters to massacre.
Provided he could pinpoint the place.
Once this statent was made, Ding Yu's eyes instantly lit up; he raised his head to look at Zhang Rongfang.
"Are you serious, my lord!?"
"A promise made is like four horses unable to catch it." Zhang Rongfang answered calmly. "But this mission might be difficult."
"No matter how difficult! I will definitely complete it!!" Ding Yu shouted loudly.
Zhang Rongfang squinted slightly as he observed him, then waved his hand.
"Everyone disperse, you co with ."
He turned and stepped through the door.
"Yes!!" Ding Yu beca eager.
Different from before, two years ago he feared nothing, which resulted in two of his brothers being casually killed by Sea Dragon's Super Grade masters. He nearly lost his life too.
If it weren't for Zhang Ying the Daoist's help, by now he'd likely be nothing but a pile of bones.
Years later, relying on Great Dao Teaching's resources, he switched to learning their martial arts, reaching Super Grade, and using Super Grade external dicine.
He truly broke the grading limitations before he understood just what kind of massive existence the Sea Dragon was.
By himself, he'd probably never accomplish his goal in a lifeti!
Thus... at this mont, the lord's promise, no matter its veracity, gave him renewed hope.
Therefore, no matter what, he vowed to complete this mission!
