The consecutive defeats of Fang Jue and Fang Xiu indirectly confirmed the rumors that had been spreading in recent years.
The Fang Family was on a downward spiral!
Although they had Fang Lingxing to alleviate the situation, the Jue family had two or three young talents at the 12th stage of the Qi Refining Realm!
Even the royal family had three or four of them!
Compared to them, the only talent the Fang family had was Fang Lingxing!
Yes, there was also Fang Chen, who came all the way from the outside world to the capital of Grand Qian to acknowledge his ancestry. However, he was still merely a branch disciple at the end of the day.
"The mighty Fang Family... has to rely on a branch member to hold the fort."
"If this continues for a few more years, when the Fang Family's Golden Core Realm Old Ancestor passes away, their position as one of the three major families of the Grand Qian Empire will definitely be in jeopardy."
"Hehe. There were already signs of this. The other five major families in the inner city are now rubbing their hands in wait, preparing to take over from the Fang Family."
People whispered to each other.
When Fang Xiu and the others heard these comments, their faces turned unpleasant; however, they knew they couldn't refute them.
Fang Xiu looked at Fang Chen. I really hope you can withstand these three moves so we can shut these people up for good.
Jue Wudi's voice sounded faintly.
"The first move."
Suddenly, two golden-armored warriors appeared in the void, each wielding long swords in their hands. There was a total of four swords, and they all came slashing down at the same time.
"Gasp!"
"Jue Wudi's control over the Five Elements Technique isn't any worse than Fang Chen's!"
"He wants to defeat Fang Chen at what's he best at!"
Suddenly and out of nowhere, Jue Tiangang felt his scalp tingle with a sense of disaster. He sprung to his feet only to see swords crashing down on him.
"What's going on?!"
Filled with shock and anger, he roared and once again displayed his body-refining technique, causing his body to swell.
At the same time, a spiritual energy shield radiating a golden aura appeared around him.
Boom!
The spiritual power shield shattered instantly, and Jue Tiangang's shoulder was ruthlessly cleaved apart. Blood splattered everywhere as a huge arm fell to the ground.
Everyone was stunned.
Why?!
Why did Jue Wudi suddenly attack Jue Tiangang?!
Has he gone mad?!
Upstairs in the Spring Dawn Tower, Qian Feng and the others were shocked. They stared at Jue Wudi in confusion.
"Brother Jue?!" exclaimed Fang Lingxing hurriedly. "What are you doing?"
"I just severed one of his arms, there's no need to worry. There are still two moves to go," said Jue Wudi softly.
As he spoke, two golden-armored warriors attacked Jue Tiangang again.
"Jue Wudi, what are you doing?!" roared Jue Tiangang in anger.
The crowd was confused, and they began to look at each other with shock in their eyes. What the hell was going on here?
The fourth branch members were confused, and they turned to their chief disciple. "Senior Brother Fang Xiu, what's happening here?"
Fang Xiu shook his head solemnly. He also had no idea what was happening. Why would Jue Wudi turn against Jue Tiangang like this?
Suddenly, Fang Xiu looked toward Fang Chen, his eyes flashing with uncertainty.
Did Fang Chen have something to do with this?
Fang Xiu smiled self-deprecatingly. "I'm overthinking it. Fang Chen definitely can't influence Jue Wudi's thoughts. There must be hidden reasons behind this.
The crowd already began to speculate, whispering to each other.
"Could Jue Wudi be displeased with how the Jue Family treated the little girl?”
"Yes, as one of the three pillars of the Grand Qian Empire, the Jue Family is so powerful. Yet they stooped so low, treating a little girl like this. What they did was definitely an invitation for criticism."
When Jue Tiangang saw that Jue Wudi was about to make another move, he immediately screamed in anger, "Jue Wudi, have you gone mad? What does this have to do with me? I'm just following the orders of our ancestor! If you're dissatisfied and want to act the saint, go talk to the ancestor! Don't take it out on me!"
Jue Wudi remained silent. The actions of the two golden-armored warriors spoke for him.
Four swords came crashing down toward Jue Tiangang again. No longer caring about his reputation, he started to control the earth element to sink deep into the earth in order to dodge the incoming attack.
Boom!
The ground cracked instantly, and Jue Tiangang screamed in agony as he was forcefully blasted out of the ground and heavily fell to the side. His other arm had been cut off too. Blood was streaming down his shoulder.
At that moment, both of Jue Tiangang's arms had been cut off.
The crowd was even more shocked now.
The Jue Family's Dragon Guards present looked at each other, unsure whether to intervene or stand by. They were both at the Foundation Building Realm, but Jue Wudi was the family's prodigy, and he had the potential to reach the Golden Core Realm and take over the affairs of the Jue Family.
"Two moves down. One more to go!"
Fang Xiu's expression changed. If Jue Wudi made one more move, he would lose!
"Jue Wudi, fuck your mother!" Jue Tiangang's eyes were bloodshot. He began to yell at the Guards around him. "What the hell are you waiting for? Jue Wudi has gone mad! Quickly go back and inform the ancestor!"
In the teahouse, Jue Feichen's face darkened as he stared at Fang Chen. "Is it the Illusion Spirit Talisman?"
He didn't understand what Jue Wudi was doing, but upon closer inspection, he sensed that something was amiss. This was the power of illusions! Jue Wudi had fallen victim to an illusion!
Just as Jue Wudi was about to make his third move, Jue Feichen's figure moved and appeared between him and Jue Tiangang.
"Ancestor!" exclaimed Jue Tiangang excitedly.
The Jue Family’s Dragon Guards saluted respectfully.
"Ancestor!"
The crowd's expressions turned serious.
"The Jue Family's Golden Core Realm Ancestor has arrived!"
Fang Xiu and the others turned somber.
Jue Wudi was preparing to unleash his third move when he saw Jue Feichen blocking the way to "Fang Chen," causing his brow to furrow.
He saluted with clasped fists, "I pay my respects to you, Ancestor."
Jue Feichen spoke coldly. "Do you know who the person behind me is?”
Jue Wudi was a bit puzzled, but he still replied, "Fang Chen of the Fang Family?"
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood what was happening. They all looked at the real Fang Chen with shocked eyes.
It was an illusion! It had to be an illusion!
Jue Wudi was unknowingly under the influence of an illusion. He was mistaking Jue Tiangang for Fang Chen!
Fang Lingxing and the others finally realized why Jue Wudi suddenly attacked Jue Tiangang.
It was that damned Fang Chen! Somehow, he managed to trap Jue Wudi in an illusion without him noticing!
"Jue Wudi is a Foundation Building Realm cultivator. What kind of method did Fang Chen use to make a Foundation Building Realm cultivator completely oblivious to an illusion!"
Qian Feng and the others felt a bit apprehensive. Even Jue Wudi couldn't detect it! What if it was them in his shoes?
Jue Feichen sneered and casually waved his hand, using his overwhelming power to directly destroy the illusion created by the Illusion Spirit Talisman.
Jue Wudi suddenly felt a little dizzy. Then, after the momentary dizziness went away, he saw Jue Tiangang lying on the ground, behind Jue Feichen. His arms were severed, and he was glaring at him with venomous eyes.
Jue Wudi's quivered as the look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
The crowd was speechless.
They had really seen everything today....
The renowned Jue Wudi, hailed as the top talent of the Grand Qian Empire, had been easily played by a Fang Family member.
