Fled in disarray

  Outside the Red Sleeve Building, a shocking battle was unfolding. The old man's body shone with black light, and a ten-zhang-long black dragon coiled around his body.

  Another person's face was slightly gloomy, Li Huan, the younger brother of the current head of the Li family, Li Shi. His strength had already reached six levels and eight ranks. A white tiger appeared vaguely beside him, which was the manifestation of his Dou Xin.

  He thought he had the upper hand in this battle, but he didn't expect that the old man in front of him was actually a Seventh-Order cultivator. With one Sixth-Order and one Seventh-Order fighter, there was almost no chance of winning.

  "Get out of here!" The old man's eyes widened in anger, it had been a long time since he was so enraged. A burst of murderous aura exploded from his body and surged towards Li Huan.

  The black dragon beside him was as if it had substance, carrying the evil aura of the Night Lord on its body, with an overbearing momentum and a thoroughly revealed sinister intent.

  On the contrary, the white tiger beside Li Huan let out a low growl and retreated in the face of Ye Lao and Hei Long's aggressive advances, they were never opponents on the same level to begin with.

  Li Huan secretly cursed in his heart, the old man's strength was far beyond what the intelligence had said, and it was much stronger.

  Ye Lao had no intention of delaying the match with Li Huan, although he had a 100% chance of winning. However, Li Huan kept stalling and hardly engaged in direct combat with him. To defeat Li Huan, it would take at least half an hour.

  Li Huan's eyes flickered as he looked into Lao Ye's eyes, seemingly calculating his gains and losses.

  Originally, Li Huan's task was to capture Ye Lao and have his subordinates capture Fang Yun. However, Ye Lao's strength was clearly not something he could capture, and if it dragged on for too long, he would end up losing himself as well.

  Ye Lao saw that Li Huan still had not given up, so he stopped wasting words. With anxiety and worry about Fang Yun's safety in his heart, a thread of black air appeared between his palms. The Black Dragon Fighting Heart also followed Ye Lao's palms, rushing out with a whooshing sound.

  "Heilong Fenshi!" In an instant, a fierce gale erupted, carrying with it a scorching temperature. Wherever the dark energy spread, it was as if the land had been ravaged by intense flames, turning everything to charcoal blackness. The ground became parched and dry, and when the wind swept across, it whipped up a maelstrom of black flames that engulfed the sky.

  The old man was holding nothing back, exerting his full strength with the Black Dragon Fist's aura, and he wouldn't mind paying any price for it.

  Li Huan's pupils suddenly contracted, and he retreated hundreds of feet in shock, his scalp numb as he stared at Ye Lao.

  "This old man has gone mad!" He was no match for Ye Lao to begin with, and now Ye Lao had unleashed such a terrifying move, which made his heart tremble with fear.

  Dou Xin Bai Hu was also trembling slightly, Dou Xin was also his own heart, he himself had already been frightened to the extreme, let alone Bai Hu Dou Xin.

  "Retreat..." Li Huan's heart was filled with a strong sense of resistance, facing Ye Lao's attack, he feared that with just one move, he would fall into Ye Lao's hands, and this was something he would never do.

  Moreover, Ye Lao was also unwilling to entangle with him, Li Huan made up his mind, turned around and ran, at the same time, he swung his hand, and the White Tiger let out a loud roar, charging towards Ye Lao's attack.

  He just wanted the White Tiger to block this wave of attacks, so he could safely escape. The White Tiger let out a loud roar, and with its mighty voice, the ground shook as if a giant had fallen, instantly collapsing. Wherever the sound waves swept through, the earth would shake and mountains would tremble.

  However, the dark energy was even more violent, and the black flames that filled the sky did not give the White Tiger any chance to resist. The black flames instantly engulfed the White Tiger, and a dragon's roar and tiger's howl echoed from within the flames. White light and black light intertwined within the black flames.

  But in a moment, the dragon's roar grew even more fierce, while the tiger's cry was a sorrowful wail that gradually weakened.

  Li Huan, who had escaped more than ten miles away, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes flashed with a hint of horror. In just an instant, his White Tiger Fighting Heart collapsed. Fortunately, he had escaped quickly, otherwise he would have really died here.

  Ye Lao glanced in the direction Li Huan had escaped, without any hesitation, and rushed towards the Red Sleeve Building. Behind him, the black flames transformed into a black light, which rapidly shot towards Ye Lao's back, instantly disappearing into his body.

  Ye Lao arrived at the outer gate of Hongxiu Building, which was tightly closed. However, he could still smell a strong bloody odor wafting from inside the building.

  At night, Lao felt a bad premonition in his heart and hastily stepped into the Hongxiu Building. A bloody scene shocked his eyes. The entire Hongxiu Building was filled with severed limbs everywhere - on walls, floors, corridors, and there were dead bodies everywhere, the whole scene was too gruesome to behold.

  What made him even more perplexed was that all of these people had died from self-inflicted wounds, yet every single one of them had a look of fear on their face before they died, as if their opponent was the devil itself. It was a deep-seated fear that still lingered even after death.

  Ye Lao's heart grew even more uneasy, and he quickly found Qingfeng's room. However, the room was empty, but what made him slightly relieved was that the room's layout remained intact, as if no brutal fight had occurred here, only Fang Yun was not there.

  The old man's expression changed unpredictably, his face turned several times, his cheeks became ferocious, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes: "If anything happens to the young master, I will make the Li family's blood flow like a river!"

  In less than an hour, Ye Lao had returned to the Fang family mansion and reported the whole story to Fang Hao.

  Inside Fang's main hall, a loud shout came: "The Li family is getting more and more arrogant, daring to lay hands on Old Five in Yan City!"

  "Master, I'm old and useless, unable to protect young master completely, please punish me." Ye Lao knelt in front of Fang Hao, bowing his head in self-reproach.

  "Old man, you're being too serious. This matter also originated from Old Five. You've already done your best, don't blame yourself excessively." Fang Hao slowly calmed down his anger and said calmly: "However, this matter will not be settled so easily. Since the Li family wants to fight, I'll give them a war!"

  Fang Hao's words were finished, but Lao Tzu's mind was still churning with emotions. If Fang Hao had held him accountable for his actions, he would have felt a bit better, but instead, Fang Hao didn't ask him to take any responsibility, and he became even more self-reproachful.

  Moreover, from Fang Hao's tone, it seems that he is going to take real action. On the Mongolian Plateau, if two of the three major families, Fang, Li, and Nalan, were to engage in a fierce battle, it would affect the entire region.

  Apparently, no one had expected it, and even the master of the Li family had not thought that a fight in a brothel would trigger a war between two big families.

  The Fang family has never been afraid of any enemy, and in the north of the desert, not only is the Fang family's power the greatest, suppressing two other families, but more importantly, in recent years, the Fang family has intermarried with the Nalan family multiple times, their relationship extremely close.

  The tranquility of the north for many years has made too many people forget the power of the Fang family. The Li family has been arrogant and domineering for many years, with the intention of replacing both the Fang and Nalan families.

  The Fang family had originally hoped to develop their clan in a stable manner; after all, if the two great families were to go to war, that would mean true war.

  The Li family may have also seen this point, so they dared to be so arrogant, and this time in Yan City, attacking Lao Wu, it was even more touching the last nerve of Fang Hao.
