The Azure Courtyard is a private residence located just outside the Fang Residence, only three streets away.
As he walked, Fang Chen's pace seemed slow yet swift; with each step, he could instantly cover several yards. A chilling aura intermingled with a sense of killing intent grew increasingly intense around him.
Fang Chen held deep feelings for Chan'er, the girl who had devoted herself to caring for him over the years. Although their relationship was that of master and servant, they often felt more like family.
Having been reborn and finally able to change the tragedy of his past life, he would not allow Chan'er to die again.
He would not allow it!
A flash of crimson light flickered in his eyes, and Fang Chen's already rapid pace surged even more in an instant!
...
Inside the Azure Courtyard, Fang Qiyang and Luo Cheng were engaged in conversation.
"Brother Qiyang, do you think Fang Chen will come rushing over to confront us after hearing this news?" Luo Cheng asked with a laugh.
"If he doesn't come, I won't let him off easy either. Once my father and the others finish interrogating that wretched maid, it will be his end. If he dares to show up, all the better—he can stay here forever!" Fang Qiyang sneered.
"Stay here forever," Luo Cheng thought to himself, startled. But soon after, as if realizing something, he flattered, "Who exactly is that person? Even Fang Qingshan and the Second Elder are helpless against them!"
Casting a faint glance at Luo Cheng, Fang Qiyang replied, "Some things are better left unknown." Pausing for a moment, his expression turned fierce as he added, "If anyone dares to touch my second brother, I will ensure that the main branch goes extinct!"
Boom!
At that moment, an astonishing rumble suddenly echoed through the air.
At the entrance of the Azure Courtyard, Fang Chen's internal energy surged, his face icy cold as he kicked the tightly shut Bronze Gate.
With a loud crash, the gate collapsed!
"Who did you say should go extinct?" A cold voice suddenly echoed from afar, causing Fang Qiyang and Luo Cheng to freeze in surprise.
In their line of sight, Fang Chen, expressionless, stepped over the threshold of the Azure Courtyard and walked toward them step by step.
"Fang Chen!" Luo Cheng and Fang Qiyang shouted in unison.
For some reason, despite previously boasting that Fang Chen would stay forever once he arrived, Fang Qiyang felt an uncontrollable chill rising within him as he looked at Fang Chen's impassive face.
"Someone, quickly capture this brat!" Fang Qiyang shouted fiercely.
In fact, there was no need for him to shout; after Fang Chen broke through the door with such a loud commotion, the guards within the Azure Courtyard had already sprung into action.
After all, the Azure Courtyard was a private estate of Fang Nansiao, so there weren't many guards present. However, surrounding one Fang Chen was more than sufficient.
Seeing several robust middle-aged guards with strong auras encircle Fang Chen, Fang Qiyang's fear subsided significantly. He seemed to gain confidence and sneered at Fang Chen: "You refuse to walk the path to heaven and instead break into hell. Today, you won't be leaving."
"Someone, capture him!" Fang Qiyang shouted again, his eyes fixed on Fang Chen's handsome face, glinting with malice.
He would not forget the sound of slaps that echoed on that street that day!
"Young Master Chen, you might as well not resist; otherwise, our fists and feet are indiscriminate. It wouldn't be good if we accidentally hurt you," someone said with a strange laugh.
They are the private forces of Fang Nansiao and have no connection to the Fang Residence, so they hold no respect for Fang Chen, the eldest son of the Fang Family.
"Where is Chan'er?" Fang Chen scanned the surroundings and coldly demanded.
"Hmm?" With a raised eyebrow, Fang Qiyang revealed a strange expression. He suddenly changed his mind and mockingly said, "If you want to know the whereabouts of that wretched maid, kneel down and admit your mistakes. Maybe I will show mercy and tell you."
The guards who were about to take action immediately looked at Fang Chen with mockery. They were curious about how this son of the Fang Family, known for his weakness, would react. Would he really kneel?
However, their information was clearly outdated. Was Fang Chen still the same person who could be bullied by anyone?
With a cold gaze sweeping over the sneering Fang Qiyang, Fang Chen remained silent. Suddenly, an overwhelming Killing Intent erupted from his tall figure. He swiftly snatched a spear from a guard beside him and, with a single arm's thrust, lunged at Fang Qiyang!
Blood splattered as the spear pierced through Fang Qiyang's left side!
"Do you want me to kneel?" With a flick of the spear, lifting Fang Qiyang into the air, Fang Chen calmly stated.
Once Fang Chen completed this action, the surrounding guards finally reacted but dared not move as they watched Fang Qiyang scream in agony from Fang Chen's grip.
With his left side pierced and blood gushing out, Fang Qiyang was not fatally injured but struggled desperately while screaming.
"Let me down, Fang Chen! I was wrong! I'll tell you where Chan'er is... I..." Fang Qiyang was terrified. He flailed his arms and shouted frantically.
...
In a secret chamber deep within the Azure Courtyard.
In the flickering dim light, various cold instruments came into view. Undoubtedly, this was a Torture Chamber.
On the cold iron rack, all sorts of bizarre torture devices were laid out.
Next to the rack, there were two enormous charcoal stoves filled with burning coals. On top of the stoves, red-hot knives and branding irons were inserted.
Three figures stood by the stoves.
Randomly poking at the burning coals with a red-hot branding iron, Fang Botao muttered, "Master Qinggu, what's wrong with your elixir? Didn't you say it was very effective? Why hasn't this wretched maid spoken yet? If you ask me, we should just use this branding iron on her and see if she opens her mouth!"
Fang Nansiao frowned slightly and said calmly, "Don't expect Fang Chen and Fang Qingshan to come to your rescue. Hurry up and confess everything; it will save you some suffering. If you can come out and testify against Fang Chen, not only will I let you go, but I will also grant you great benefits."
Not far from him was a cross-shaped platform where a frail figure was brutally bound.
This figure was none other than Chan'er!
Her clothes were in disarray, and many places were drenched in blood, with shocking whip marks visible. More importantly, Chan'er's originally delicate face was now an eerie dark red. Beneath her skin, something seemed to be crawling, creating an unsettling sight.
Trickles of bright red blood slowly seeped from her eyes, nose, and ears...
"Second Master, Third Master, don't worry. This wretched maid has taken the Old Man's Heart-Eating Pill. Even if she puts up a tough front, after half a stick of incense, she will definitely speak. By then, whatever you want to ask her, she will tell you everything without holding back," an old man in a dark blue robe said proudly as he stroked a small tuft of beard.
This man was Master Qinggu, who had lost a bet and was originally confined in Fang Residence with an agreement to refine pills for free for ten years.
"Master, it's bad! Fang Chen has arrived; Qiyang Gongzi has been captured by him!"
At that moment, a figure resembling a guard rushed in, panting heavily.
In an instant, Fang Nansiao appeared in front of the guard, his face pale with anger as he grabbed the guard by the collar and demanded, "What happened to Qiyang?"
Fang Yiming was dead, leaving him with only Fang Qiyang as his son. If anything happened to Fang Qiyang, he would be completely alone!
Trembling, the guard finally managed to recount what had transpired earlier.
"Useless!" Fang Nansiao threw the guard aside and scolded him. It was unclear whether he was referring to this group of guards or to Fang Qiyang, who had been captured by Fang Chen.
"Second Brother, since Qiyang has been caught by that little brat, let's go out and take a look. Master Qinggu is here, so we should be fine," Fang Botao suggested.
"Alright." Fang Nansiao nodded without hesitation and turned to leave.
"Young Master..." Chan'er struggled to speak as she watched Fang Nansiao and Fang Botao depart. Despite the blood streaming from her wounds inflicted by the Heart-Eating Pill, she endured the excruciating pain. A faint smile finally appeared on her otherwise expressionless face.
This smile carried joy, mixed with pride, and a hint of worry.
...
Inside Azure Courtyard.
"That wretched maid is right here!" Fang Qiyang shouted in panic, his pale face drenched in blood as he was suspended in mid-air by Fang Chen's spear.
Blood continued to flow from his body, which had been pierced by the spear. Under Fang Chen's cold and frenzied methods, he had long lost the arrogance he once displayed. The scene in Azure Courtyard had turned bizarre because of him.
Wherever Fang Chen went, the guards surrounding him would retreat. A single person, under the watchful eyes of a group of guards, moved as if in a realm uninhabited!
"Lowly maid?" Fang Chen murmured softly, his eyes filled with intense Killing Intent sweeping over Fang Qiyang, causing the latter to shiver and quickly change his words: "Chan'er is inside! She's right inside! I've led you here, please let me down!"
With a cold snort, Fang Chen paid no heed, gripping the spear that had pierced through Fang Qiyang's body as he headed towards the secret chamber.
At that moment, a Severe gust of wind suddenly shot out from the secret chamber, crashing towards Fang Chen.
"Roar!" Amidst the fierce wind, a powerful tiger roar echoed, instantly shaking the guards around Fang Chen. A phantom-like Tiger Beast lunged wildly at Fang Chen!
Transforming Qi into beasts and using Qi to harm others—this was the technique of a Qi Boundary expert!
Calmly observing the imposing Tiger Beast charging towards him, a hint of disdain flashed across Fang Chen's face. Faced with such a formidable attack, he made no unnecessary movements; he simply raised his arm effortlessly and aimed the spear still attached to Fang Qiyang at the oncoming Tiger Beast.
"Ah! Father, save me!" In a life-and-death moment, Fang Qiyang shouted urgently.
The ferocious Tiger Beast vanished silently in mid-air without leaving a trace. If it weren't for witnessing the previous scene, one might even think it was an illusion.
In the dimly lit secret chamber, two figures emerged one after another.
