"Would you really do anything to survive?"

Fang Han's gaze was like frost as he stared straight at Wen Hu kneeling at his feet, his tone full of undisguised mockery.

Recalling the past, Wen Hu was aggressive and seemed to be determined to destroy Fang Han. But now, this usually imposing figure was kneeling so pathetically before him. The contrast was truly lamentable.

In fact, this highly dramatic scene caused a huge uproar among the onlookers.

It should be noted that the Wen family firmly holds a first-class position in Guyue City. For a long time, they have colluded with the Shi family, acting with impunity in the city, and no one dares to provoke them easily.

But now, Wen Hu, the matriarch of the Wen family, is pleading with Fang Han in front of everyone. How could this not leave everyone speechless with astonishment?

"Yes, Mr. Fang! It is all my fault, I only beg you to be magnanimous and spare the Wen family this time. This time, I was blinded by hatred and had no idea that the Shi family had committed such heinous crimes. I came to you blindly to seek revenge. I deserve to die and should be punished."

Wen Hu's face was full of grief, his voice trembling as he pleaded desperately.

He knew exactly what was going on. At this moment, he took the initiative to apologize and promised compensation. It seemed like he was showing weakness, but in reality, he was using a retreat as a tactic to advance.

Only by making such concessions could the Wen family possibly find a way to survive this calamity.

"I am not a bloodthirsty person. Since you are sensible and know when to back down, I will give you this chance. However, remember this well: I will only give you this chance once!"

Fang Han spoke coldly, his words carrying an undeniable authority, "Now, get out of here, but you'd better watch your behavior in the future. If I find out that your Wen family still dares to act recklessly and bully men and women in Guyue City, then your Wen family's fate will be no different from the Shi family's—utterly destroyed!"

"Thank you so much, Mr. Fang, for your kindness!"

Wen Hu felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He hurriedly got up from the ground, called to the Wen family members, and slunk away from the city lord's mansion. His back view was full of panic and embarrassment.

Thus, this thrilling farce finally came to an end.

"Everyone, the excitement is over, you can all leave now."

Soon, City Lord Ye Tiannan spoke loudly to the still enthusiastic crowd.

Only then did everyone realize that the excitement had ended. Although they were still somewhat reluctant to leave, they could only disperse one after another.

Before long, the area in front of the city lord's mansion returned to its usual tranquility, as if the fierce conflict that had just occurred was merely a dream...

“Mr. Fang, the matter here has been settled, and Commandant Guo and I should return to Tianyuan County.”

Prefect Chu Wentian bowed respectfully to Fang Han, his words conveying his intention to take his leave.

In fact, if they weren't required to stay in Tianyuan County, they would really like to stay by Fang Han's side for a longer period of time, because if Fang Han gave them even a little guidance on their cultivation, they would benefit from it for life.

"You two have truly worked hard this time."

Fang Han responded politely with a gentle expression.

"Mr. Fang, you're too kind. If there's anything you need in the future, please feel free to ask us if you can do it."

The prefect Chu Wentian and the military commander Guo Tianyi were both very polite.

Soon, they led the thousand county soldiers away in an orderly fashion.

“Lord Ye, I still have matters to attend to in Guyue City and must leave. In the future, our Fang family will arrange for people to come to Guyue City to handle our business. We hope Lord Ye will take good care of us then.”

Fang Han turned around and addressed the city lord, Ye Tiannan. After speaking, he prepared to leave with Fang Qing, Fang Yingxue, Gongsun Yaoqin, Zhou Chi, Ye Qianqian, and Ye Qianqiu.

His real purpose in coming to Guyue City this time was not simply to deal with the Shi family, but to explore the Poison King Sect and seize the Five-Colored Divine Stone for mending the heavens.

“Mr. Fang, you are welcome to send people to Guyue City to do business. If you need anything, I can arrange a guide for you in Guyue City now to make things more convenient for you.”

City Lord Ye Tiannan took the initiative to propose it.

Now, he is completely convinced and deeply respectful of Fang Han.

Fang Han's casual guidance was enough to complete his cultivation technique, which was an immense blessing and a great favor to the Ye family.

Therefore, Ye Tiannan was determined to serve Fang Han wholeheartedly in order to repay this kindness.

“I am planning to go to the Poison King Sect. If you could arrange someone to guide me, that would be the best thing.”

Fang Han nodded slightly, readily agreeing.

He didn't elaborate on his purpose for going to the Poison King Sect, and Ye Tiannan, being quite tactful, didn't ask rashly.

Ye Tiannan acted swiftly and decisively, immediately summoning his trusted subordinate Song Zi'an and giving him detailed instructions, ordering him to make sure Fang Han and his group had a safe journey.

Soon, Fang Han and his group embarked on their journey to the Poison King Sect.

The group rode on fine horses, their hooves clattering and raising clouds of dust.

The Poison King Sect is located outside the northern part of Ancient Moon City, hidden in the mountains not far away.

Fang Han and his companions set off from the City Lord's Mansion in Guyue City, riding at breakneck speed all the way.

About an hour later, they arrived near their destination.

The highest peak where the Poison King Sect is located is called Flying Cloud Peak.

This peak soars into the clouds, majestic and imposing, and is shrouded in thick clouds and mist year-round.

Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, one can see that the clouds are like graceful fairies, drifting leisurely above the mountain peaks, like a dream, hence the name Flying Cloud Peak.
