Xiang Wantang patted Fang Han on the shoulder, trying to reassure him.

In his view, the formation has been improved and its power has greatly increased, making it sufficient to resist most threats.

"How many Yuan Dan realm experts do the three major sects of Tianyuan County have?"

Fang Han did not lower his guard because of this and continued to press for answers.

He knew that in order to protect the Yin-Yang Tree, he had to have a thorough understanding of the strength of all the forces involved.

"The three major sects each have about five people, so there are more than a dozen in total."

After a moment's thought, Xiang Wantang replied seriously, "Moreover, the only ones who have truly reached the peak of the Yuan Dan realm are myself, Bai Mei, and the sect leader of the Qingxuan Sect."

"As long as the Wuji Sect and the Qingxuan Sect don't join forces, no one should be able to steal the Yin-Yang Tree."

Fang Han pondered for a moment and analyzed, "But outside of Tianyuan County, there must be Spirit Embryo Realm, Spirit Infant Realm, or even Spirit King Realm, and even more powerful experts at the God King and God Emperor levels. To ensure that nothing goes wrong, we still need to shut Ouyang Yan and Su Chun up first."

He understood that the allure of the Yin-Yang Tree was too great, and with his current strength, it would be difficult to resist the powerful threats from all sides.

“Brother, you’re right. It’s not very reassuring to leave this matter to Bai Mei and Chen Tingxue. I’ll go to Wuji Sect myself.”

Xiang Wantang immediately made up his mind. He knew the urgency of Ouyang Yan's matter and that only by personally taking action could he ensure that nothing went wrong.

As soon as he finished speaking, he mounted his sword and rose into the air, transforming into a streak of light that vanished into the night.

After Xiang Wantang left, Fang Han went to the Yin-Yang Tree and examined it carefully.

Just as he was about to leave, the water in the small lake churned, and the golden dragon poked out its huge head.

"Master, rest assured, I will definitely cultivate diligently and become stronger as soon as possible to protect this Yin-Yang Tree for you!"

The golden dragon's voice was deep and firm. The scene of Fang Han easily defeating the sect master of the Wuji Sect made it admire Fang Han even more.

"Alright, I'll wait for the day you transform into a dragon."

Fang Han flew to the lake, his feet treading on the waves, and gently stroked the golden dragon's head.

Jin Jiao felt Fang Han's trust, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

"Master, if I can transform into a dragon, I would like to become your mount!"

Jin Jiao said sincerely.

In its heart, Fang Han was not only powerful but also kind and generous, making him worthy of its lifelong devotion.

"good."

Fang Han nodded in agreement.

Looking at the golden dragon, his thoughts drifted back to his past life.

In his previous life, he possessed a true dragon mount on Tenglong Star, roaming freely across the heavens and earth, majestic and awe-inspiring.

However, he was plotted against by eight stunningly beautiful female Daoist companions, nearly losing his life and Dao, and was forced to reincarnate in the Qiankun Continent.

Now, he doesn't know if the real dragon is still safe and sound, or if it has been subdued by those eight women.

One day, he will ride the golden dragon transformed from the golden dragon, return to Tenglong Star, and seek justice from those eight women.

Thinking of this, Fang Han's eyes became even more determined, and the fire of revenge in his heart burned fiercely.

Soon, Fang Han left Yin Yang Mountain.

He rode on the Azure Dragon Sword and sped towards Yanming City.

It was already evening.

The mountains in the night sky receded rapidly behind him, the wind whistled in his ears, and Fang Han's figure, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, disappeared into the vast darkness in an instant.

Not long after, Fang Han's figure appeared in the sky above Yanming City.

As soon as he landed and entered the Fang family mansion, before he could even catch his breath, a servant rushed in to report that Ye Zhong, the city lord of Yanming City, and Lin Xunhuan, the master of Linyin Pavilion, had come to visit and were waiting outside the mansion.

Fang Han raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling somewhat surprised. These two were usually busy with their own affairs and rarely visited each other. The fact that they came together this time, especially at night, suggested that they had something important to discuss.

Fang Han had someone welcome Ye Zhong, Lin Xunhuan, and the others into the reception room, where he waited.

Beside Lin Xunhuan was the elegant and charming steward Liu Ruyan, whose every move exuded allure; Ye Zhong was accompanied by Ye Qianqiu and Ye Qianqian.

"You are all rare guests, what brings you here so late at night?"

After everyone was seated, Fang Han asked with a smile.

Although Ye Zhong and Lin Xunhuan have now submitted to him, they are usually busy managing the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion and Lin Yin Pavilion, and rarely set foot in the Fang family.

“Mr. Fang, the Shi family of Guyue City has recently expressed their intention to hold a gem auction in our Yanming City, and has already submitted a document to the City Lord’s Mansion.”

Ye Zhong, with a solemn expression, spoke first.

As he spoke, he took a document from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

"Indeed, the Shi family has also contacted me and plans to hold this auction at the Lin Yin Pavilion."

Lin Xunhuan nodded slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes. "The reason why Lord Ye and I have come here is to hear your opinion on whether to allow the Shi family to enter Yanming City. I have a feeling that the Shi family's actions are hiding some ulterior motives."

"Oh? Why do you think so?"

Fang Han's heart skipped a beat, and his gaze sharpened.

In the past few days, he encountered Shi Wenshan and Shi Yujiao, the siblings from the Shi family, on Sunset Grassland. A conflict ensued, and he allegedly hung the siblings from a large tree, leaving them to stand in the wind for three days. Could it be that the Shi family came here under the guise of the auction to seek revenge?

Lin Xunhuan's gaze turned solemn. He leaned forward slightly and said slowly, "Mr. Fang, you may not know this, but the Shi family has deep roots and an extraordinary status in Guyue City, making them a veritable tyrant. The patriarch, Shi Tianyong, is ambitious and greedy, like a vicious wolf. Over the years, many families in Guyue City have been swallowed up by the Shi family under his schemes and coercion. The Shi family wields immense power in Guyue City and acts tyrannically. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they can walk sideways in the city."
