e into the Luo family and murdered all sixty-nine members" 。Fang Yu and Lin Batian sat at one end of the interrogation table, their hands and feet were both locked. 。This lock isn't an ordinary one;...Fang Yu only felt a burst of heat explode within his body, instantly spreading throughout his entire being.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A muffled sound reverberated from his abdomen, a golden glow emanating from the bones beneath his skin.

Fang Yu only felt that his five internal organs were burning with excruciating pain.

He gritted his teeth and endured the searing pain, just like when he refined the demon beast's inner core before. He refined this power core.

At first, the power core showed no signs of reaction.

But Fang Yu wrapped it completely with his spiritual energy, and it began to slowly emanate wisps of pure spiritual energy.

Indeed, this power core contains highly concentrated spiritual energy!

After discovering this, although waves of pain still surged through his body, Fang Yu's eyes were filled with boundless excitement.

Now, low-grade monster core have no effect on him, and high-grade monster core and spirit veins are even more elusive.

And this discovery of the power core gave him a new way to improve his cultivation.

"The Gene Lab..." Fang Yu was refining the energy core within his body while mentally calculating the location of this lab.

This power core is definitely not the only one, the other party must still have a large amount of raw materials in their possession.

Fang Yu speculated that the raw materials for making this kind of power core were very likely a spiritual vein as well!

It took over four hours for Fang Yu to completely refine this energy core.

Fang Yu's cultivation realm had continuously broken through five levels, reaching the 9,955th level of the Qi Refining Period.

At this stage, this breakthrough speed is quite good.

Only forty-five layers remain between me and the Qi Refining Stage!

At this moment, Fang Yu's clothes were soaked through with sweat.

You could say that the entire process of refining the power core is like having all five internal organs roasted over a raging fire.

Such extreme pain is something few people can endure.

Fang Yu got up and went into the bathroom to take a quick shower and change his clothes.

After taking a shower, he felt a little thirsty and walked to the living room for some water.

At that moment, he noticed a figure standing on the balcony overlooking the night view.

It was Su Lengyun.

It was past three in the morning when Fang Yu walked to the coffee table, poured himself a glass of water, and went to the balcony.

"It's so late and you're still not resting. It's bad for your health, you know." Fang Yu drank two gulps of water and said.

Su Lengyun was preoccupied with other thoughts and didn't notice Fang Yu walking up to her side for a moment.

"Brother Yu..." Su Lengyun turned her head to look at Fang Yu, calling out softly.

"Can't sleep" Fang Yu asked.

Su Lengyun shook her head and said, "Since I stepped into the Grandmaster realm, I rarely sleep."

"I really envy you guys who don't need to sleep," Fang Yu said sincerely.

As an alchemist-stage cultivator, he was no different from ordinary people when it came to sleep and eating. If he didn't sleep for a night, he would feel extremely tired the next day.

The moonlight is very nice tonight, showing almost half of the moon.

Under the moonlight, Su Lengyun looked at Fang Yu quietly, her eyes shining.

"Brother Yu, to see you again, it feels like a dream."

"How could you say I'm dead Back when I sent you to the Frost Cold Palace, I promised you…" Fang Yu said.

"Yes, you promised me that you would visit me once a year." Su Lengyun gently caressed her forehead with silken hair and said calmly, "But twenty-two years have passed, and you haven't come once."

Fang Yu looked embarrassed, scratched his forehead, and said, "I remember that we didn't say once every ten years It was once a year, wasn't it I might have gotten it wrong..."

"Even if it's once every ten years, you never came." Su Lengyun's tone was still calm.

"..." Fang Yu was speechless for a moment.

He did say those words, but only to appease Su Lengyun who was crying her eyes out.

He, who had lived too long, disliked most of all meeting old friends.

In the grand scheme of his lifespan, everyone in this world is merely a fleeting visitor in his life.

He was truly reluctant to see the youthful and beautiful faces from his memory, slowly aging, turning into withered old men, and finally dying.

He wanted to imprint the most beautiful aspects of these people in his memory, so that he would never see them again. That would be best.

Seeing Fang Yu speechless, Su Lengyun lightly bit her red lips.

When she was less than eight years old, she was thrown into the frigid and desolate Frost Palace.

During the first year, Su Lengyun would always cry whenever she thought of Fang Yu.

But she still had a glimmer of hope, because Fang Yu promised to visit her at the Frost Cold Palace once a year.

With this hope, the first year's hardships passed.

But the second year, Fang Yu did not appear.

Su Lengyun cried and insisted on leaving Shuangan Palace, but she was stopped by her master.

When the master found himself unable to deal with the situation, he punished Su Lengyun by confining her to her room. She was only allowed to practice cultivation within her quarters and could not go anywhere else.

That year, Su Lengyun lived an incredibly difficult life, even harboring resentment towards Fang Yu at one point.

She thought Fang Yu had deceived her, and she felt that she had once again become an orphan.

Fortunately, her master was very tolerant of her, and slowly, Su Lengyun finally integrated into the Shuang Han Palace. The resentment towards Fang Yu dissipated, replaced by longing.

For the next twenty years, Su Lengyun looked forward to Fang Yu coming for her every year, but in the end, she was always disappointed.

After she assumed the position of palace master of Frost-Cold Palace, she also sent people to look for Fang Yu, but there was no news.

"Brother Yu, before I saw you, I really thought something had happened to you," Su Lengyun said.

"What could possibly happen to me" Fang Yu said.

"Then why didn't you even write me a letter" Su Lengyun asked.

“Xiaoyun, it's like this. After sending you to the Frost Cold Palace, I went into seclusion in the mountainous regions of northwest China. As a result, I stayed in seclusion for twenty years.” Fang Yu said.

"Retreat..." Su Lengyun nodded lightly, without saying much more.

She didn't want to accuse Fang Yu, she just wanted an answer from him.

No matter what Fang Yu's answer was, she was willing to believe it.

To see Fang Yu again is a lucky thing for her.

Su Lengyun raised her head, looking at the bright moon in the night sky, and softly said: "Brother Yu, I often think, if my family were still alive, what would I be like now"

Fang Yu was silent for a moment, then said: "You should try to remember less about these unhappy things."

Su Lengyun shook her head gently and said, "I don't want to remember, but I can't help it."

"Have you ever thought about seeking revenge on those murderers" Fang Yu asked.

"I've thought about it, but I don't know how to do it." Su Lengyun turned around and looked at Fang Yu.

"Brother Yu, what would you do if you were in this situation"

As soon as he heard this question, Fang Yu remembered what had happened to the Heaven Dao Sect in the past, and his eyes became sharp.

"I will kill them all." Fang Yu said, his tone was extremely cold.

Feeling the change in Fang Yu's aura, Su Lengyun's expression changed slightly.

She didn't expect that such a simple question would cause Fang Yu to have such a big emotional reaction.

Could Yu Ge have experienced something similar before

"I'm going back to sleep. You should get some rest too." Fang Yu finished the water in his cup, turned around and left.

Su Lengyun looked at Fang Yu's back, her eyes flickering.

……

Huaibei, Zheng Family Hall.

The entire core members of the Zheng family, gathered in the hall.

They were all urgently summoned back by the head of the household, Zheng Rong. At this time, most people had puzzled expressions on their faces.

What on earth happened Why are all the core members being called back

It is worth noting that the Zheng family has not held such a large-scale meeting for a long time.

Just as everyone was puzzled, Zheng Rong and Zheng Xiuchen accompanied the two old men down from upstairs.

Second Elder, Fourth Elder!

Seeing these two elders, all the core members of the Zheng family in the hall became incredibly respectful.

These two elders, along with the Great Elder and Third Elder, are the cornerstone of their Zheng family!

It can be said that without these four elders, the Zheng family would never have achieved its current status!

But the four elders, respected and revered, had long since ceased to be involved in Zheng family affairs.

One usually practices in seclusion and is rarely seen. Why have two of you appeared tonight

At this moment, everyone noticed that the expressions of the two elders were quite grim, and Zheng Rong, the head of the household accompanying them, was even paler than usual, with bloodshot eyes.

What on earth happened!

Zheng Rong and two elders walked to the crowd.

Zheng Rong glanced at the two elders.

The two elders nodded, indicating that he should speak.

Zheng Rong swept his gaze over the crowd in the hall and, in a hoarse voice, began: "Everyone, I've called you here urgently tonight to inform you of a terrible piece of news."

Bad news

A gasp arose from the crowd.

"Master, what on earth is going on!” someone asked anxiously.

Zheng Rong took a deep breath, calming himself down before slowly saying: "Third Elder, he's fallen."

The entire hall was deathly silent.

Everyone's eyes widened, as if they had misheard.

One of the four pillars of the Zheng family, the Third Elder, is dead!

In every member of the Zheng family's heart, the Four Elders are an unshakeable pillar, and they command only respect.

"Home, head of the household, is what you say true" someone asked in a trembling voice.

"I've already confirmed it," Zheng Rong said, his eyes red.

When Zheng Rong first received the message from the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association, he couldn't believe it at all.

But then, Zheng Rong saw the dying visage of Elder Three.

A bloody and mangled face, a chest pierced with a gaping wound...

If it weren't for the clothes and figure, Zheng Rong wouldn't have connected this tragic death to the Third Elder.

Who is the Third Elder He is the highest core member of the Zheng family! He is one of the strongest figures standing at the peak of the Huaibei martial arts world!

Zheng Rong never dreamed that personally going to Jiangnan to deal with Fang Yu's third elder would end up like this.

After hearing Zheng Rong's words, the Zheng family members came to their senses and turned pale.

Who did it Who has the ability to kill Elder Three Who has the guts to kill Elder Three by a rush of turbulent waterfall.Obviously, this place is a cave behind the waterfall. 。When Fang Yu looked forward, he could see a back. 。This person was dressed in blue and floating in mid-air, me...
