Zhou Quan had already been woken up; watching Fang Yuan's group wreak havoc in his home, his face turned ashen.
"This Fang Zheng is utterly lawless. He dares to use force in Shang Clan City! Wait… that aura, it's definitely rank four. Heavens, how old is he? He already advanced to rank four?"
Zhou Quan observed secretly, suddenly widened his eyes, revealing shock. novel chapter.
He himself had once been a rank four Gu master, a clan leader. But he had only reached rank four in his forties or fifties. Fang Yuan's age was already known from the training ground. He was only twenty!
Such extraordinary talent!
Zhou Quan's heart was filled with mixed emotions—envy, jealousy, anger, and helplessness: "Fang Zheng also advanced to rank four, a true rank four Gu master. He also has the Purple Bane token. Now Shang Xinci has connections with Shang Chaofeng. This man is too domineering. Not long ago, he caused trouble in the slave market and was fined only forty-nine yuan stones. He has a great future, bright prospects, likely to become a rank five expert. Rumors say he is favored by Shang Yanfei. Now even the Shang Clan turns a blind eye to him. How can I fight him? If I can't provoke him, can't I at least hide?"
Thinking this, Zhou Quan sighed deeply, and said to the old steward: "Pack some things quickly. We'll move to the shop for a while. Our opponent is powerful. We need to lie low for now."
"Yes, master." The old steward hurriedly went to pack.
Moments later, the group turned the entire estate upside down. The originally elegant and quiet courtyard was now a mess everywhere.
"Sir, we searched but did not find Zhou Quan," Xiong Tu reported.
"Hmm, he must have slipped away through the back door. Can't have gone far. Definitely hiding in the shop. But this is also within my expectation. I intentionally left the back door. Heh." Fang Yuan sneered three times.
Zhou Quan thought he would consider the Shang Clan and not continue causing trouble. But what kind of person was Fang Yuan? In his heart, even the premier Shang Clan was just a slightly larger stepping stone.
"Are the things I told you ready?" Fang Yuan turned and asked Wei Dexin.
Wei Dexin quickly replied: "Ready."
"Good." Fang Yuan waved his hand, "Let's go."
When the group walked out of the estate, it immediately caused a sensation.
Usually the Shang Clan City was stable and peaceful. Fang Yuan's attack on the estate already made a lot of noise and attracted many people's attention.
Moreover, Fang Yuan had instructed Wei Dexin to spread the news widely. So the effect was even more sensational now.
Countless passersby were attracted.
"Go." Fang Yuan led the front, guiding the group as they swaggered through the streets, making a racket.
Along the way, more and more curious onlookers gathered, almost creating a crowd shoulder to shoulder.
"Master, master! That Fang Zheng has brought people again!" the old steward reported, panicking.
"Don't worry. This shop is Shang Clan property. Even if he had more guts, he wouldn't dare attack it." Zhou Quan stroked his goatee and comforted.
But just as he finished, there was a loud bang.
In full view of everyone, Fang Yuan kicked the shop door flying. Then he strode in.
"Hold it!" A group of Shang Clan city guards walked out, their faces dark and uneasy.
Fang Yuan's party was so dramatic that the city guards had already been drawn over.
"This is a Shang Clan shop, you can't barge in here. You are violating the rules of Shang Clan City!" the leading guard, covered in sweat, shouted loudly.
It was his turn on duty today; if he didn't step up now, he would later be held accountable by the Shang Clan City authorities for dereliction of duty.
But Fang Yuan completely ignored him, walking in without listening.
The others filed in.
Bai Ningbing stayed behind, coldly watching the guard leader, radiating his rank four aura: "We've barged in now, so what? Can you stop us?"
The leader, only at rank two, his heart trembled uncontrollably.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his face pale, but still forced himself to say: "Even if we can't stop you, we will try our best. Because this is Shang Clan City, this is our duty. You must know, just now Fang Zheng's actions have violated Article 3, Section 25 of our Shang Clan City regulations..."
"We know, it's just a fine." Bai Ningbing raised an eyebrow and tossed a bag of yuan stones at the leader's face.
"This bag has five hundred yuan stones. Keep the change. We still have more smashing to do later, consider this an advance." With these words, Bai Ningbing also entered the shop.
The leader stood foolishly on the spot, holding the heavy bag of yuan stones, intimidated by Bai Ningbing's aura.
"So arrogant, so arrogant!" The onlookers all buzzed with excitement.
"I've never seen anyone dare to act so rampantly in Shang Clan City."
"Fang Zheng and Bai Ningbing are both rank four Gu masters, they have the strength. And with the Purple Bane token as capital, who else would dare?"
"Even if I had the strength and qualifications, I might not dare. Their courage is just too great! To do this in broad daylight. Truly..."
The passersby discussed animatedly, many watched wide-eyed.
Some wanted to go into the shop to watch, but were either stopped by Fang Yuan's people or shooed away by the guards.
"Captain, should we go in?" one guard asked carefully.
"Go in? To have yuan stones thrown at our faces again?!" the leader suddenly roared. "Wait, wait for the elder to come handle it!"
