Chapter 204 - Gathering

Lord Wu Qing was also interested at this moment. He couldn’t help but say, “Elder Wu, please speak. I’m all ears!”

The skinny old man did not beat around the bush and directly said, “There are quite a number of experts gathered in Cang City now. It’s normal for conflicts to break out between martial artists. It’s inevitable that it will affect ordinary people.”

“Fang Yuan is indeed not weak. He has already broken through to Rank-8 of the Grandmaster Realm. However, it’s no different from a fool’s dream to use his strength to suppress the martial artists gathered in Cang City.”

“What Fang Yuan can and must do is to beg that mysterious Venerable to give him a Venerable Order to restrict the conflicts between martial artists from affecting ordinary people.”

Fortunately, Fang Yuan was not present. Otherwise, he would definitely be completely shocked.

What the skinny old man said could not be said to have nothing to do with what he was thinking. It could only be said to be exactly the same as if the old man had completely seen through his thoughts.

However, although this skinny old man was scheming, he was not invincible. He had even miscalculated something.

The Venerable Orders that Wang Yi had written were not only to limit the scope of conflict. He simply forbade any conflict in Cang City.

This was indeed beyond everyone’s expectations. Martial artists were all hot-blooded and focused on taking revenge on the spot. No one expected Wang Yi to be so ruthless and directly restrict all conflicts.

After listening to the skinny old man’s analysis, Lord Wu Qing immediately clapped his hands and laughed. He could not help but praise, “As expected of the wise Elder Wu. Listening to your words is better than studying for ten years!”

With all his worries gone, Lord Wu Qing no longer cared. He looked at the others and said in high spirits, “Wu Ji, go and put some pressure on Fu Anzhi. If he wants to revive his wife, don’t play any tricks. Tell him to hurry up and settle the matter.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the person called Wu Ji stood up. He first bowed slightly to Lord Wu Qing, and then his figure instantly disappeared.

Lord Wu Qing stared in the direction where the other party had disappeared, but there was no focus in his pupils as if he was daydreaming.

As if he had thought of something, Lord Wu Qing’s expression instantly became extremely ferocious. He roared crazily, “Soon! Soon!”

“No matter who it is, as long as they dare to ruin my race’s plan to descend, I will definitely not let them off!”

After saying that, Lord Wu Qing subconsciously clenched his fists tightly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

What was terrifying was that Lord Wu Qing did not use any mighty force. He only relied on his physical strength to squeeze the void with his palms, causing explosions to sound. It was as if this space was about to be cut apart by this terrifying fist.

However, this shocking scene did not last long before Lord Wu Qing returned to normal. The private room fell silent again as if nothing had happened.

The next afternoon!

There was already a sea of people outside the Guardian’s Residence. Countless experts had gathered here. Meanwhile, the city guards were maintaining order to prevent ordinary people from approaching.

Fang Yuan stood on the steps and glanced at the noisy crowd below with different expressions. His expression was neither happy nor sad. No one could guess what he was thinking.

As time passed, the patience of the martial artists below was also being consumed.

Seeing that Fang Yuan was standing there calmly and did not speak, in the end, someone with a bad temper could not help but jump out.

He carried his weapon on his shoulder and shouted rather aggressively, “Guardian Fang, everyone is quite busy. If you have anything to say, just say it. After that, everyone can go about their own business.”

Once someone started, someone else followed. As soon as he finished speaking, another Rank-9 grandmaster said, “Guardian Fang, aren’t you putting on too much airs?

“You were the one who invited us to gather here, but now you’re not saying a word. What’s the meaning of this? Are you trying to make fun of us?”

These words were quite impolite. If not for the fear of the Venerable Order, this person would have directly pointed at Fang Yuan’s nose and scolded him.

After all, Fang Yuan was only a Rank-8 grandmaster. Even if he was the Guardian appointed by Langya County City, unless it was in the face of major issues, a Grandmaster-Realm expert was definitely qualified to give him a hard time.

Actually, many of the experts present were basically here for the Venerable Order.

If not for the Venerable Order, with Fang Yuan’s shamelessness, if more than 30% of the experts came today, one could say that Fang Yuan had a wide social circle.

As for the rest of the people, it was unknown if they were really anxious from waiting or if they had other motives, but they also followed along and started stirring up trouble.

Fang Yuan did not feel any displeasure or impatience when he heard this. He reached out and pressed down slightly, indicating to everyone that he had something to say.

After the scene finally quietened down, Fang Yuan cupped his fists at everyone and said, “Everyone, calm down!”

“It’s not that I’m putting on airs and deliberately stalling for time to embarrass everyone.”

“It’s just that it’s not time yet. Perhaps there are still experts who haven’t arrived.”

“If I rashly read the Venerable Order now, not only will I fail to live up to the Venerable’s request, but I will also be irresponsible to everyone.”

Seeing that Fang Yuan had already mentioned the Venerable, everyone had to suppress their anger.

Fortunately, it was not long before noon. Everyone could only wait patiently.

It seemed that someone had been keeping an eye on the time. It was just noon, so he said directly, “Guardian Fang, it’s already noon. Please give us the orders from the Lord Venerable!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene instantly became extremely quiet. Everyone stopped talking at the same time and their gazes gathered on Fang Yuan.

It had to be said that Fang Yuan had not been a Guardian for so many years for nothing. He had seen all kinds of storms and even the siege of hundreds of millions of beasts.

Now that he was being stared at by so many experts, if it were anyone else, they might have long collapsed from the terrifying pressure.

However, Fang Yuan seemed to be fine and could still stand there calmly.

Under everyone’s gaze, Fang Yuan took out a palm-sized piece of Xuan paper that was folded neatly.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze instantly shifted from Fang Yuan to the paper in his hand.

However, when they understood the material of the paper, everyone’s expressions became a little strange. They were also cursing in their hearts.

This Venerable Order, which represented the will and dignity of a Venerable, was actually directly written on ordinary Xuan paper. Wasn’t this a little too childish?

Fang Yuan did not care what others thought and opened the Xuan paper in his hand.

“Stop it!”

Two flamboyant words instantly appeared in front of everyone’s faces.

Before everyone could react, Fang Yuan directly activated the power of the Venerable Order. The words ‘stop it’ instantly erupted with boundless power and divine light.

At the same time, Fang Yuan threw the paper lightly. The paper moved without the help of any wind and floated directly above the Guardian’s Residence.
