Chapter 1112: A Grand Play

's departing figure, Qin Yimo's face was covered in frost.She didn't originally intend to treat Zhong Yuan with such a cold attitude, after all, the Zhong family that Zhong Yuan represented held a hig...While families like Bai and Ouyang are newcomers, they must step onto the historical stage and become the new overlords of Beidu's martial arts world.

Recently, public opinion has propelled the Bai family and the Ouyang family to extraordinary heights.

As for the Lin family, and the other seven of the Eight Great Families, they seem to have been forgotten.

Just two days ago, Bai Hengchuan, the head of the Bai family, even publicly stated: "Our Bai family does not compare with any other family. The title of number one family is just a name, and we don't care about it. Let the Lin family hold onto it tightly. Our Bai family will only be a superfamily that surpasses all others."

This statement directly points to the Lin family. The contempt and sarcasm in the words are quite obvious.

But at that time, no one thought there was anything wrong with Bai's remarks.

Bai Hengchuan, the speaker, made a significant breakthrough within a month and is now a powerful figure ranked ninth on the Saint List.

As for the Lin family, although many people have successfully broken through, there is only one name on the Sacred List, that of Elder Lin Chao of the Lin family, ranked seventeenth.

This is a very obvious difference.

Initially, the Lin family rose to the position of the first family thanks to Fang Yu's strong protection, which made many factions secretly envious.

Now, countless forces in the north are eyeing the Lin family with malicious intent.

In the face of Bai Hengchuan's sarcasm, the Lin family did not make any response.

This situation, naturally, led to a lot of mockery.

They were all trampled under the Bai family, not even daring to speak back. They are truly cowardly.

"He was just a nobody who rose to prominence thanks to Fang Yu. He's nowhere near the Bai family now, so he wouldn't dare speak back."

"Indeed, ever since the Spiritual Energy Surge, Fang Yu seems to have vanished... It's only natural for the Lin family to be keeping their heads down now."

All kinds of opinions are emerging.

There's information about the Lin family and about Fang Yu.

"Now that spiritual energy is recovering, many powerful cultivators from seclusion have come out. Fang Yu can no longer cause chaos in Beidu."

"So Fang Yu is now gone without a trace Isn't he afraid of being held accountable later"

"If Fang Yu dared to show his face like he used to now, he would definitely suffer the consequences!"

……

Outside opinions are rife, and the atmosphere within the Lin family is also heavy.

"Master, the Bai family has sent an invitation for us to attend their family banquet," a guard entered the hall and handed a letter of invitation to Lin Zhengxiong, who was seated at the head. "The person from the Bai family who delivered the message is still waiting outside. We should give them our reply now."

Lin Zhengxiong took the invitation and, after a glance, put it aside, his face clouded with anger.

The Bai family has gone too far!

"Master, we still have to go. The Bai family is at its peak right now, and if we don't go... who knows what the outside world will say about our Lin family!" someone said with a grave expression.

"I object! If we go...we'll only be humiliated in person. It's better not to go at all!" someone immediately said.

"Even if we are humiliated face-to-face, we can fight back! It's better than staying at home and being laughed at by everyone!" someone said excitedly.

Whether or not to attend the banquet, there were supporters on both sides, and for a time, arguments raged.

Lin Zhengxiong hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lin Zhenxu beside him.

After the spiritual energy resurgence, Lin Zhenxu's cultivation reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, only one step away from the Integration Stage.

"Zhenxu, what do you think" Lin Zhengxiong asked.

Lin Zhenxu's face was cold, and she said, "Go, you have to go no matter what."

Upon hearing Lin Zhenxu's words, Lin Zhengxiong nodded and told the guard, "Tell the Bai family that we will attend the banquet on time."

The guard stepped back out.

After the decision was made, the hall fell silent quickly.

As the first prodigy of the Lin family and the future head of the family designated by Fang Yu, Lin Zhenxu holds significant influence.

"Zhenxu, do you know... how Fang-daren is doing now" someone asked at that moment.

Lin Zhenxu glanced at the man and said, "He won't be able to leave his mansion for a short time. This time, our Lin family... has to rely on ourselves."

As soon as these words were spoken, many of the Lin family members' faces changed.

……

Two more days have passed.

Over the past two days, there have been two more explosive pieces of news.

The first message is about Fangyu.

Rumors have spread from somewhere, saying that Fang Yu was seriously injured and is now in seclusion at home. He won't be showing up for a while. At the same time, Fang Yu's address has also been leaked.

Building No. 101, Beidu.

After the news came out, many cultivators applauded.

They already disliked Fang Yu for his disregard of rules.

Now that Fang Yu is badly injured, it's naturally a great thing for them.

As for Fang Yu's address being exposed as well, the whole thing became even more interesting.

Is this person deliberately trying to provoke those who hate Fang Yu They want them to take advantage of Fang Yu's injuries and come after him for revenge, right!

Now it's time for revenge. Those who have grievances will be avenged.

Of course, this matter has nothing to do with most ordinary cultivators in Beidu.

After all, Fang Yu mainly offended those few influential families and some sects in Daxilin and Xiaodongshan.

And the second bombshell news is actually also related to Fang Yu.

That is, the four elders who had been cultivating outside the Wang family in their early years, announced their return to the Wang family on the same day!

When the Wang family was crushed by Fang Yu single-handedly, the third elder was in charge of guarding the Wang family.

Now, all four elders have returned!

It is said that two of the elders have reached the Great Accomplishment realm, while the other two are at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

The return of these four symbolizes the revival of the former first family!

It is rumored that after the four elders returned to the Wang family, they were furious upon seeing the current state of the Wang family!

...and then I heard about Fang Yu being seriously injured again…

Many people know that the first big play after the spiritual energy revival... is about to begin soon.

……

Hidden Forest Manor.

"Teacher, Mr. Fang is still in seclusion at home and there's been no movement yet." Zheng Ze replied.

Huixu frowned, her hands clasped behind her back, gazing at the expanse of wilderness before her without a word.

"Teacher, even if the news gets out, no one would dare to go to Mr. Fang's doorstep, right" Zheng Ze said, "Given Mr. Fang's reputation..."

"That's not the right way to think about it," Huixu said solemnly, "Over the past month, cultivators throughout the entire Xiaxia region have had their mindsets inflated."

"Those members of the Wang family who returned to the clan must have had the same mindset."

They will certainly find Brother Fang, it's just a matter of time.

Zheng Ze's face also turned grave, and he asked, "Mr. Fang, this time your body has a problem... only we, Lao Bai, and the people around Mr. Fang know about it... who leaked the news"

Huixu shook his head and let out a heavy sigh, his eyes filled with disappointment and sadness.

"It was I who leaked the matter," Huixu said in a deep voice.

Zheng Ze's face changed, and he said: "Teacher, you..."

"I told someone I shouldn't have." Huixu seemed much older, his voice a low murmur.

Besides those Zheng Ze mentioned, there was someone else who knew about Fang Yu's physical problems and his seclusion.

That is Ouyang Xiuyuan.

A week ago, Ouyang Xiuyan came to visit Huixu and chatted. During the conversation, he inquired about Fang Yu's whereabouts.

At that time, Huixu also hesitated for a while, but ultimately told him anyway.

By today, the news has spread directly throughout Beidu.

The first person that came to Wei Xu's mind was Ouyang Xiuyuan.

Because he had a feeling the moment he heard Ouyang Xiuyuan inquire about Fang Yu's whereabouts.

But he still told Ouyang Xiuyan.

This is what makes Huixu feel particularly guilty.

"Xiuyan, what do you really want!" Huixu looked ahead, the sadness in her eyes slowly fading, replaced by coldness and determination.

……

"Master Dao Kong, I've spread the word. I believe those elders from the Wang family won't sit idly by for long."

In the villa district of Beidu Center, there is a newly built large mansion.

Here lies the grand estate of the Ouyang family, the nouveau riche of Beidu.

The interior decoration of this building is unlike that of an ordinary family, it's extremely luxurious. Even the arrangement of the hall resembles a grand palace hall.

At this moment, the person seated at the head of the grand hall was not the family head, Ouyang Xiuyan, but a man with snowy white hair.

This person was wearing a white robe, young and handsome in appearance, with amber-colored eyes.

He lowered his head slightly, looking down at Ouyang Xiuyan kneeling before him, without speaking.

"Master Dao Kong, do you think the elders of the Wang family could kill Fang Yu" Ouyang Xiu saw that Dao Kong was silent and asked hesitantly again.henzi, you always want to know everything about the world," the monk said. "But there are things in this world that you cannot and are not qualified to know."At this point, the monk's tone turned icy...
