Fang Mu was the sole survivor of his clan and wanted to enter the Void Sect to grow stronger so that he could take revenge on the Phoenix Empire which destroyed his clan. He trained and trained until his Sky Destroying physique was at the second stage. He thought that even though the Void Sect needed people who had Spirit Gathering Realm cultivations he would be able to prove himself. He was sure that no one in the Spirit Gathering Realm could be his match with his physique, yet he was wrong. Now he was walking away beaten and a little ashamed.
'I guess there are other sects I can join, I can even wait for one more year and try again with the Void Sect.'
As Fang Mu was making plans as to what his next move was going to be, he was already outside Swallow City. It was at that very moment a group of people suddenly appeared before him, two of which were familiar to him. Those two were the two he had defeated moments before.
They were with four elders who were obviously at the Foundation Establishment Realm and above. Fang Mu's body tensed up as he was now surrounded, still, he showed a slight smile on his face.
"Oh, if it isn't you guys, so what can I do for you two?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What you can do? Do you know what happened after you left?" Sun Lan spoke with a heavy tone. Fang Mu shrugged his shoulders as he responded.
"How should I know?"
"Hmph, still acting tough despite your situation."
"Situation, what situation are you talking about?"
"Still acting that way, fine I'll tell you about your situation. After you left, the lady from the Void Sect disqualified the two of us who were defeated by you. Not only that she told us that no matter how hard we tried our talents were not suitable for the Void Sect and that we aren't even allowed to join the next sect recruitment. It's all because of you."
"Why are you blaming me, isn't the reason as to why you two couldn't get in because the two of you are just weak?"
When Sun Lan and the other person heard what Fang Mu said they only smiled and shrugged their shoulders. Seeing their reactions Fang Mu was surprised, he was planning on riling them up and once there was an opening he was going to flee.
"Of course, we are weak in your eyes, well compared to you most would pale in comparison. After all aren't you the sole survivor of that clan, the ones who were said to have the physique of dragons."
The moment Fang Mu heard those words his whole body tensed up but he kept on smiling.
"I think you might've mistaken me for someone else."
"Oh, there is no use denying it. At first, it was confusing since there was no clan with the surname Fang in the region that could produce such a powerful descendant like you. Not to mention you're body was so powerful that my elders here told me you might be able to survive a full-powered strike from a middle-stage Foundation Establishment Realm fighter. You really should've at least changed your name if you wanted to hide. You even came out and wanted to join the Void Sect. I'm sure that after some time the others would also guess the same thing and news of you coming here will spread. By then you would be chased around by not only the Phoenix Empire but by everyone who wants to get into the Phoenix Empire's good graces."
"... Alright, it doesn't look like you'll believe me no matter what I say... So if hypothetically speaking I truly am the sole survivor of this clan that you're talking about, what are you going to do?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Even after all that, you're going to continue to deny it, well that really doesn't matter. Now as for what we're going to do to you, well first we're going to beat you up until you can no longer move, after that, we'll give you to the Phoenix Empire. They've been looking for you for quite some time now, so bringing you to them we would get some good things. This should be enough to repay what you did to us."
Sun Lan smiled as he stepped aside and the four elders stepped forward.
"Are the four of you really going to attack a junior? Aren't you afraid that people would say that you bullied a junior?"
"We are not here to bully you, as your Elders, we're just here to teach you a lesson." After he responded one of the Elders stepped forward and attacked. A giant golden palm came flying towards Fang Mu.
Seeing the incoming attack Fang Mu tightened his fist and retaliated with all his might as he punched forward with everything he has. The giant golden palm and Fang Mu's fist collided. The giant golden palm then started to shatter, making the four elders look at Fang Mu in amazement. Even though that wasn't his strongest attack, and only had around forty percent of his full power, it was still an attack made by a Golden Core Realm fighter.
"Oh, the Sky Destroying Physique really lives up to its reputation, if we were in the same realm, no... Even if you were just at the Foundation Establishment Realm this would've been a difficult battle, but as of now you're too weak."
The Elder then unleashed another giant golden palm to attack, and once again Fang Mu shattered it with a punch. The Elder then continued to attack relentlessly and after a while, Fang Mu's hands started bleeding and his limited amount of Qi was waning. He was now out of breath but he continued to look for an opportunity to escape, unfortunately, the other three elders were on alert and he could not find that opportunity.
'Is this how it's going to end, without me being able to do anything again?!' Fang Mu gnashed his teeth as his anger filled him. It was at that moment a voice resounded in their ears.
"That's enough!"
