The gravestone of the Lu family.

Northern Forest.

Xue Feng was no fool; connecting these elements together, he immediately realized... the one who desecrated the family tombs was none other than Emperor Yu of Tiandu Mountain!

This...

A calamity has been wrought!

Xue Feng was dumbfounded.

The other two Family Heads trembled all over!

Xue Feng, this fool.

Has brought us great suffering!

Before Fang Yu could speak.

Xue Feng immediately kowtowed and said:

"Emperor Yu! We truly did not know that was your revered father's grave! When we established the cemetery, it had already been leveled. We saw the feng shui was good and built a grave there! We implore Emperor Yu to forgive us!"

Fang Yu scanned over them indifferently and said:

"Rebuild the gravestone, designate the Northern Forest area as forbidden ground. Your three families will guard it through generations."

Upon hearing this.

Xue Feng's heart leapt with joy.

He dug his fingers into the ground, continuously bending them.

Xue Feng quickly kowtowed and said, "The Xue Family will handle this matter properly!"

"The Wang Family will obey Emperor Yu's command!"

"The Fan Family will obey Emperor Yu's command!"

As soon as these words were said.

Fang Yu's expression suddenly turned cold and he said: "There's more—"

He paused before adding:

"Each of the three families must select five people for sacrifice!"

Select five for sacrifice?

What does this mean?

The three Family Heads were dumbfounded.

They had just explained the reason.

Why does there have to be this additional punishment?

Select five from each family, that would make fifteen people.

Does this mean they are being sent to their deaths?

Fang Yu offered no explanation.

However, Tan Tianzhong said to the side, "Mr. Fang's meaning is very clear... this morning, Mr. Fang told me, originally it was a minor matter of ignorance being no excuse. It's a small thing that you occupied the cemetery; after all, during the great disaster, everything there was covered and flattened, but you actually destroyed the gravestone! This is a grave sin of disrespect!"

Destroyed the gravestone?

Upon hearing this.

The Xue, Wang, and Fan families were all dumbfounded.

When did any of the three families destroy a gravestone?

Xue Feng only knew the tombstone had the character for Lu,

But he didn't know anyone had destroyed the gravestone!

"Sir Emperor Yu, we are being wronged! Truly wronged! Would our three families be bold enough to dare destroy a gravestone?" Xue Feng cried out.

He had never heard of such a thing.

Fang Yu calmly said, "Whoever did it, knows in their heart."

Upon hearing this.

Xue Feng immediately sent a mental message...

"Xue Ren, get in here now!"

For Xue Ren, who had reached the Level of Half-step Human Immortal, such a mental transmission was not difficult.

Outside, Xue Ren froze for a moment, then trembled all over and immediately ran inside.

When he arrived outside the hall.

Before he could even step inside, he was engulfed by an Energy sent out by Xue Feng.

Bam!

He was directly slammed to the ground.

"I ask you... did you destroy the gravestone at the Northern cemetery?"

Getting straight to the point, without any beating around the bush.

Upon hearing this.

Xue Ren was dumbstruck, scratching his head, he said, "Master Xue... what's the matter? Are you investigating the thief who dug up the Xue Family ancestral tombs? Rest assured, I will definitely capture that Lu named person and they will not be lightly spared for digging up our ancestral tombs!"

"..."

"That Lu named bastard, daring to dig up our Xue Family's ancestral tomb, I shall make him pay the price."

Still talking.

Xue Feng was about to explode with rage.

Immediately kicked him,

Bam!

Xue Ren was sent flying, crashing against the doorframe, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

This time, he had several bones broken.

He couldn't get up for a while, not even knowing he was in pain.

Xue Ren was baffled, lying on the ground, unable to move.

This level of Cultivator could kill easily, but Xue Feng didn't make a move in Mr. Tan's house.

After kicking Xue Ren. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Xue Feng immediately kowtowed and said, "Lord Emperor Yu... it's all my fault for not managing properly, this foolish boy acted irrationally and destroyed Lord Lu's gravestone, a crime worthy of punishment. I beg you to spare the Xue Family, as for Xue Ren, whether you wish to kill or flog, you may do as you please."

Upon hearing this.

Fang Yu gave them a cold glance.

At this point.

The prone Xue Ren finally understood what happened, his mind was in a muddle, unable to believe.

What exactly is this gravestone of Lord Lu?

So the one who dug up the ancestral tomb was this Emperor Yu before him?

This seemingly young person was actually the legendary Emperor Yu?

How could this be!

The room fell silent for a moment.

The air was so oppressive that it felt hard to breathe.

At this moment.

The Wang and Fan families also kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Sounding continuously.

Fang Yu said:

"I have already said before... there is no need to say more, you may leave now..."

"..."

Tan Tianzhong seemed to perceive a certain firmness from Fang Yu.

Even though he had spent hundreds of thousands of years in the Secret Realm, the aura he felt was still frightening.

This indicated that the experiences of Emperor Yu were far more tumultuous and arduous than his own.

So.

Tan Tianzhong said sternly, "What Emperor Yu said is very clear, there is no need to repeat. Leave, and do as told!"

"..."

"Is it possible that my words, Mr. Tan's words, are not clear enough?"

To offend Emperor Yu of Tiandu Mountain.

It's not just fifteen lives that can settle the matter.

Truly a bunch of idiot comrades.

Destroying someone's gravestone is like the vendetta of killing one's father.

Not to mention ancient times, even today, digging up someone's cemetery and destroying their gravestone is an act of utter insult.

The clay Buddha still holds three parts anger.

Fang Yu cares not about your family.

Those who insult me, shall be insulted in turn.

Tan Tianzhong's words had a noticeable impact, and the three immediately knelt and scrambled out, dragging Xue Ren out when they reached the door, his face flushed with rage.

He was almost desperate to kill Xue Ren on the spot.

This guy's hands were just so reckless, if it wasn't for the destruction of the gravestone, none of this would have happened.

The three Family Heads, upon returning outside.

The descendants of their families, seeing the disheveled heads, were puzzled and confused.

They thought they had been subjected to some form of abuse at the Tan Mansion.

They just stared in bewilderment.

Xue Feng waved his hand and said, "Let's go back!"

"Master Xue, did you meet Emperor Yu?"

"Meet who? If you don't want to die, shut up!"

"..."

"Also, anyone who went to the northern cemetery last night, step forward!"

Swoosh swoosh swoosh—

More than ten people stepped forward.

The head of the Wang Family did the same.

In a short time.

Dozens of people stepped forward from the three families.

The number of people was somewhat large.

The Family Heads knew the necessity of sacrifice to avoid unimaginable repercussions.

Therefore, Xue Feng, taking the lead, gritted his teeth and said:

"You, and you... a total of five people, stay at the Tan Mansion!"

The five people named were dumbfounded.

"Master Xue, why?"

"The Xue Family will remember everything you have done for us, I will solemnly bury you with the highest honors of the Xue Family... May you... rest in peace."

Xue Feng simply waved his hand, "Take these five... and behead them."

"..."

"..."

Everyone was stunned!
