Chapter Seventy Fang's Determination

  Kong Fang continued to cultivate until the sky turned dark, then he got up and took out the Xingyunzhou from the storage ring, manipulating it to fly quickly towards the direction of Qizong.

  The Dragon King let go of Kong Fang, and the plain was only a hundred or two hundred miles away, so Kong Fang didn't spend much time before rushing back, and at this time the sky had just darkened not long ago.

  When they were still a few miles away from the Lihe Island, Kong Fang controlled the Cloud Chariot to land on the ground. He retracted the Cloud Chariot and quickly walked towards the mountain peak where Huoyun Hall was located.

  Behind the Huoyun Hall, in front of Kong Fang's small courtyard on the mountain peak.

  Fang Tou stood firmly in front of the door, his eyes fixed intently ahead. Two or three meters in front of him stood two people, one of whom was Li Sen, the nominal eldest brother of Huo Yun Tang, who harbored resentment due to jealousy. Standing beside Li Sen was Yin Wan Shui, who looked up to him as a role model.

  "Step aside, Fangtou." Li Senyi said with an air of authority and a hint of command.

  "You're just a follower, we've come for Kong Fang's younger brother. What do you mean by blocking our way? Is this how your master taught you?" Yin Wanshui sneered and provoked Fang Tou with his words.

  A foolish-looking Fang Tou was now unyielding, saying in a hard tone: "Two senior brothers, please leave. Kong senior brother had instructed before he closed his door yesterday that he has gained some insight into the art of alchemy and wants to take this opportunity to study it thoroughly. During this period, no matter who comes, he will not see them." After speaking, Fang Tou shut his mouth. His gaze was fixed straight ahead, treating Li Sen and Yin Wan Shui as air. His body didn't move an inch, blocking the originally small door of the courtyard tightly.

  Li Sen's eyes widened in anger, his face filled with indignation. "I've come here three times today and you've blocked me three times. Do I need your approval as a servant to see my own junior brother? Besides, Kong junior brother is going to compete with Su Yun tomorrow to refine equipment, how can he still be in closed-door training today? He must have already come out of his seclusion. Go and inform him that I've come to discuss the art of refining equipment with him. Although my level of refining equipment may not be as high as Sun Hao junior brother's, my experience is rich and I'm sure I can help Kong junior brother. In any case, we are all disciples of Huo Yun Tang, we cannot let people from Tian Ji Tang surpass us."

  "What you said is right, I am a servant, but I am also a servant of Kong Shixiong, not your servant. I only listen to Kong Shixiong's words, and no one can disturb him before he leaves the pass." Fang Tou's voice also cooled down, and his face involuntarily showed a hint of anger.

  Although the followers and servants are actually not much different, they all need to take care of their masters and do things for them. However, Kong had never treated Fang as a servant, but rather as a junior fellow apprentice, and he was always considerate of him, not letting him do anything and showing great concern for his well-being. Fang had always remembered these kindnesses in his heart, but he felt guilty because he couldn't help with anything normally. This time, he finally had the opportunity to do something for his senior fellow apprentice, so why would he be afraid of Li Sen and Yin Wan Shui, those two inner disciples, and back down?

  "You..." Li Sen pointed angrily at Fang Tou, for a moment unable to speak due to rage.

  Li Sen and Yin Wan Shui did not come here this time to exchange alchemy methods with Kong Fang, but rather Li Sen's true intention was to disrupt Kong Fang's mental state, making him lose to Su Yun in tomorrow's trial.

  Kong Fang, as a disciple of Huo Yun Tang, was defeated by a disciple of Tian Ji Tang. Elder Qing Fan would definitely not value Kong Fang as much as before, and the defeated Kong Fang might not be able to withstand the blow, becoming self-indulgent and stagnant in his equipment refinement skills. Even if none of these come true, Li Sen is not afraid, because he still has a follow-up plan. As long as Kong Fang loses, he can make it impossible for Kong Fang to stay in Huo Yun Tang anymore.

  So, Li Sen came early today to implement the plan, but what he didn't expect was that Fang Tou blocked the door and refused to let him in, forcing his plan to be put on hold.

  At noon, Li Sen came again, but still couldn't get through the door. As the sky slowly darkened, he wouldn't be able to see Kong Fang and his plan would be ruined. With a sense of urgency in his heart, Li Sen also pulled Yin Wanshui over and asked Yin Wanshui to come up with a strategy for him.

  "Big brother, this must be that dog servant intentionally blocking us, not letting us see Brother Kong. Brother Kong might not even know we've come, otherwise with our master-brother relationship, how could Brother Kong possibly shut the door on us?" Yin Wanshui said with a sinister tone.

  Li Sen's eyes lit up when he heard this and said in a row: "What the junior master said is right, it must be like that."

  Fang's face changed color, "What do you want to do?"

  "What's going on? What do you need to tell me, a servant?" Yin Wanshui glanced at Fang Tou with disdain and said: "If it weren't for the fact that you're Gong Shidi's servant, I would have taken care of you long ago. You still dare to speak in front of us inner disciples, truly unaware of your own insignificance."

  "Kong Shidi, I heard that you are going to compete with Su Yun from Tianji Hall tomorrow to refine equipment. So, I came to discuss the method of refining equipment with you, and help me make Huoyun Hall win over Tianji Hall, and bring glory to Huoyun Hall." Li Sen suddenly shouted loudly.

  "Shut up." Fang's face changed color.

  Fang Tou was very clear that Kong Fang was not in the small courtyard, and if Li Sen shouted like this, if Kong Fang couldn't come out, he would definitely arouse suspicion. After all, the small courtyard wasn't big, even a loud shout could be heard by people inside, let alone shouting with magic.

  Li Sen's voice echoed inside and outside the small courtyard. After a while, the small courtyard was still quiet, with no one responding to Li Sen's words.

  Li Sen's face sank, "Does Junior Brother Kong not want to see his Senior Brother? Or perhaps after Junior Brother's refining skills have improved, he looks down on his Senior Brother's refining methods and doesn't even want to meet with him?"

  The small courtyard was still quiet, without a single sound coming out.

  "Shut up!" Fang Tou suddenly shouted loudly, "Brother Kong is in seclusion, do you want to kill Brother Kong with your reckless shouting? I'll tell Elder Qingfan about this, report that you have ulterior motives and are intentionally disturbing Brother Kong's seclusion."

  Fang Touji's face turned red with anger. If Li Sen continued to shout like this, Kong Fang's secret in the small courtyard would inevitably be exposed.

  When Fang heard that he was going to find Qingfan Elder Li Sen, he suddenly felt a little nervous and his heart was also a bit empty. He came to find Kong Fang without good intentions, once let Qingfan Elder know about this matter, he would not only be unable to implement the plan but might also be punished.

  "You, a lowly servant, dare to tell an inner disciple to shut up? I think you're tired of living. Today, I'll teach you on behalf of Brother Kong what it means to know one's place." Yin Wanshui sneered and suddenly pounced forward, his hand clenched into a fist as flames erupted from his fist, the momentum was extremely terrifying.

  Yin Wanshui had been cultivating for many years, and the soul-refining method he obtained was much better than Fang Tou's. His strength was far beyond what Fang Tou could handle after only half a year of cultivation. Moreover, Fang Tou didn't have any defensive techniques, so if Yin Wanshui were to land a hit, Fang Tou would definitely suffer severe injuries.

  Fang's face changed color, and at this time, he could only retreat into the small courtyard to avoid Yin Wanshui's attack. However, once he retreated into the small courtyard, Li Sen and Yin Wanshui would also follow him in. At the door, he could block the two of them, but after entering, he couldn't block the two of them anymore.

  Fang's head jerked back, his eyes becoming extremely determined. He suddenly stretched out his arms to grab the walls on both sides of the door, as if he wanted to use his flesh and blood to block Yin Wanshui's attack.

  "Shixion said that no one can know he left the courtyard, or else no one will be able to take a step forward. Even if I die, I must block them for Shixion." Fang Tou's heart roared with anger as his gaze locked onto Yin Wanshui who was attacking him.

  "If Fang loses a single hair, I'll chop off one of your hands. If Fang gets hurt, you'll pay with half your life." Suddenly, a cold and menacing voice filled with killing intent came from the small courtyard.
