"Didn't I say that assassins below the Bronze level are not allowed to receive the Demon Transformation Pill?!"

"Master, please calm down."

The hunchbacked old man hurriedly knelt down and confessed, "It was my fault for failing to supervise properly. I beg Your Excellency to punish me."

Before he could finish speaking...

A terrifying force surged forth!

With a soft "pfft!"

The hunchbacked old man's left arm was torn off instantly.

A large amount of blood gushed out!

As its severed arm spun in mid-air, it gradually turned into dust.

During this period.

The hunchbacked old man remained silent, kneeling there with his head bowed.

It was as if it wasn't his arm that had been severed.

The Shadow Pavilion Master's face was ashen, his eyes coldly fixed on the hunchbacked old man below, his tone chilling and leaving no room for doubt.

"This is the last time. If there is a next time, it will not be just an arm that is cut off."

"Thank you, Pavilion Master, for your magnanimity."

The hunchbacked old man hurriedly prostrated himself and kowtowed, his tone respectful.

"The Demon Transformation Pill is crucial to the infiltration of the human realm by our Demonic Domain. We have dispatched a Platinum-level assassin to thoroughly investigate this matter."

The Shadow Pavilion Master frowned and coldly ordered, "Make sure this is handled properly. I absolutely do not want a thousand-year plan to be ruined by such a trivial matter."

"Do you understand?!"

"Yes, Master, I understand."

The hunchbacked old man responded.

Immediately afterwards, his entire body turned into a wisp of black smoke and vanished from the spot.

The Shadow Pavilion Master stared at the vanished hunchbacked old man, his brows furrowed, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

......

at the same time.

Fang Li, accompanied by Murong Dai, had already arrived at their doorstep.

He turned to the villagers gathered around him and said loudly, "Fellow villagers, please go back now."

"Iron Head, I'll visit you another day."

"Tie Tou, you promised, Uncle is waiting for you at home."

"Auntie is going to make you something delicious!"

"Uncle has also prepared wine and dishes, waiting for you to bring your wife over, Tietou."

"Everyone, disperse. Let Tie Tou keep his parents company."

The elderly man, whom everyone called Grandpa Tian, ​​waved his hand with great respect, dismissing the crowd and sending them away.

At this moment, Fang Li's parents, who had heard the noise inside, put down their work and hurriedly came out.

Then he saw Fang Li standing at the door.

Both of them were taken aback for a moment, then their expressions brightened and they quickly stepped forward.

"Iron Head!"

"My son."

"Father, Mother! Your child has returned."

Fang Li also hurriedly went to greet him.

He hugged his parents tightly as they ran towards him.

Both sides presented a heartwarming scene of family reunion.

Upon learning that Fang Lizhen had joined the Yunxiao Sect, the number one sect in the Great Wilderness Region, the two elders burst into tears.

I am so glad that my son has finally made it through and is no longer suffering misfortune.

He became a carefree immortal.

As Murong Dai watched this scene, she couldn't help but think of her deceased mother.

Her eyes immediately reddened slightly.

She could only quickly turn her back and secretly wipe away the hot tears from the corners of her eyes.

......

A short while later.

Fang Li stepped into the main room of his home and was looking at the familiar carvings that filled the room.

Suddenly, she noticed that her father's steps seemed a little unsteady.

Something suddenly occurred to him, his expression darkened slightly, and he asked, "Father, what happened to your injury?"

"But those people from the eldest son's family are causing trouble again?!"

"Iron Head, it's alright."

Father Fang waved his hand, changing the subject, and said, "Now that you have become an immortal, you don't need to worry about these worldly matters, lest they affect your path to immortality."

"You must diligently cultivate in the Cloud Soaring Sect and attain immortality as soon as possible."

“Tie Tou, your father is absolutely right. After becoming an immortal, worldly affairs will no longer concern you.” Mother Fang’s words were also earnest.

"Father and Mother, I understand your good intentions."

Fang Li sighed, stepped forward and took his parents' hands, and solemnly said, "But my master once told me that immortals are also mortals who have cultivated themselves. One must never be a heartless immortal, but only a person with feelings!"

“If cultivating immortality cannot even protect or bless one’s own family, then what is the use of me cultivating immortality? I might as well not cultivate immortality.”

These words were spoken.

Murong Dai, standing at the doorway, stared intently at Fang Li.

A strange light flickered in those beautiful, autumn-water-like eyes.

She suddenly realized that Fang Li, the person in front of her, was completely different from the cultivators she had encountered.

Other cultivators are ruthless and only care about their own interests.

Even within the same sect, those under the same master would scheme against each other, engaging in open and covert struggles.

They would use every trick in the book to kill their opponent.

They uphold the principle of the survival of the fittest and the supremacy of the strong.

Those mortals were nothing more than servants of the immortals who served them, ants that could be slaughtered at will.

However, Fang Li was quite different.

He was loyal and righteous, and also decisive in killing.

Are these the disciples brought forth by the Yunxiao Sect?

As expected of a branch sect of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

Now I finally understand why the Nine Heavens Holy Land defied public opinion and went to preach and teach in the Great Wilderness Domain where the Great Dao was unclear and the rules were incomplete.

"Iron Head, the master you have chosen is truly extraordinary!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Fang sighed.

They knew that their son had become the disciple of a remarkable immortal master.

Then he stopped hiding it and told the whole story.

Three months ago, Fang Li went to the Yunxiao Sect to seek immortality and enlightenment.

Manager Wang, the owner of the largest wood carving shop in Qingshui City, sought out Fang's father and asked him to make 108 large statues of the God of Longevity within three months.

The size should be similar to that of a baby, and it must be lifelike.

Furthermore, gold leaf must be inlaid on these large wooden carvings of the God of Longevity.

A deposit of five hundred taels.

After the matter is completed, another three thousand taels will be paid.

The gold leaf used for inlay was provided by a wood carving shop.

When Mr. Fang saw this lucrative business deal of 3,500 taels of silver offered to him, he naturally found it hard to refuse.

However, just as Fang Li's father was about to finish carving day and night.

Five days ago, the eldest branch of the family used the excuse of celebrating the birthday of the Fang family's matriarch.

They moved away Mr. Fang's three months' worth of hard work, causing the goods at the wood carving shop to be unable to be delivered on time.

Fang's father went to Qingshui City to ask the eldest son's family for the money.

Not only did they fail to get the goods, they were also beaten up.

Due to a severe injury to his left foot.

Fang's father was left disabled and became a cripple.

Upon hearing this, Fang Li instantly flew into a rage, like a furious lion, wishing he could grind the eldest son's bones to dust.

Murong Dai, who was standing nearby, heard this.

He also angrily denounced these people as utterly shameless and wanted to help Fang Li seek justice.

But Fang Li rejected him.

This is a family matter of the Fang family. If outsiders interfere, the nature of the matter will change.
