Fang Yu had at least ten layers of locks on his body, and these were no ordinary locks, but magic treasures!
They will forcefully suppress the acupoints, preventing the locked person from releasing their true energy and completely nullifying their cultivation power.
After being chained layer by layer, Fang Yu was taken to the deepest room in the detention center.
“Fang Changsheng, Fang Changsheng, you never dreamed that one day, you would end up like this, did you?”
The person who brought Fang Yu into the room was Cao Xin, the deputy head whom he had met before.
His lover, Shi Mu Yu, was the one who was severely injured by Fang Chang Sheng in front of him, and then disappeared!
It can be said that Cao Xin’s hatred for Chang Sheng has reached its peak!
“There are people outside of people, this is the most accurate saying by our ancestors. You think that no one in this world can control you?” Cao Xin’s eyes were filled with resentment as he said coldly.
Since Bai Ran hadn’t sent word that the job was done, Fang Yu could only keep up the pretense of being half-conscious.
“From now on, I will let you truly feel what hell is like! What it means to be worse off than dead! I will return tenfold the harm you have inflicted upon Mu Yu!” Cao Xin said fiercely.
Then, feeling unsatisfied, he punched Fang Yu’s abdomen with all his might.
“Bang!”
A muffled sound echoed through the empty room, followed by Cao Xin’s agonizing scream.
He covered his right hand, looking at Fang Yu in front of him, gritting his teeth!
These people are so weak, yet their bodies are still as hard as steel!
What a real pain in the neck!
But Cao Xin is not in a hurry.
The person is already in his hands, and after that, he has countless ways to deal with him, no need to do it himself.
“I won’t let you die easily, Fang Changsheng.” Cao Xin left that sentence, full of hatred, and turned to leave the room, shutting the thick, custom-made door behind him.
“Bang!”
“Damn… this rehearsal is really tough, especially playing a role with no lines and just has to pretend to be dead.” Fang Yu lay on the ground, sighing with relief.
……
The top floor, the president’s office.
Qirong pressed a mechanism, and a door appeared behind the office.
This is the president’s exclusive storage room.
Qi Rong walked inside and, from a safe, retrieved a key.
The key was single, but large. It was about the size of a hand, and made of an old bronze.
This is the key to the Great Hall.
This is the heirloom passed down through generations of presidents of the Eastern Capital Martial Arts Association.
But so many Presidents, none have ever given up the keys.
Because the Grand Temple itself is inherently uncertain, what will appear inside once its doors are opened is unknown to anyone.
So, to avoid any accidents, the previous presidents have all kept this key locked away in a safe and never taken it out.
And this time, Qi Rongdao offered it as a bounty… Actually, that wasn’t his original intention.
This is a directive from the celestial immortal Kong Shangxian!
“The Great Hall, it should be opened. You seek a cultivator above the Nascent Soul stage… If you can find one of even higher cultivation, that would be better.”
Give the key to this man and tell him to open the doors of the Great Sanctuary.
“Afterward, this individual will serve as a sacrificial offering, consumed by the Grand Temple… Using him as an anchor, the Grand Temple shall officially open! At that time, I will dispatch individuals to retrieve the sacred artifacts within the temple…”
This is the original words of Kong Shangren.
Qi Rong wanted to make a good impression in front of Dao Kong Shangxian, so he wanted to find the strongest cultivator as a sacrificial offering to the Great Sacred Hall.
So, he came up with this solution.
He knows that the martial arts world of Dongdu is very interested in the Great Saint Hall, and even rumors have spread about ancient immortal inheritances existing within the Great Saint Hall.
Then, Qi Rong added fuel to the fire, fanning the flames of rumors surrounding the Grand Temple and driving even more people to seek entry. This desire became a powerful motivation for them to find Fang Changsheng.
Unexpectedly, this one-two punch strategy, which I wasn’t very optimistic about at first, has yielded results much faster than anticipated!
Now, Fang Changsheng has been caught, and a powerful cultivator who meets Dao Kong Shangxian’s requirements has also been found!
Qi Rong said he was extremely excited and happy. Holding the key, he went to the VIP room next door.
“Master, this is the key to the Great Hall. Please take it.” Qi Rong said, presenting the key with both hands.
Bai ran took the key and observed it carefully, but he didn’t feel anything special.
Then, he used the mark Fang Yu had left in his body earlier to contact Fang Yu and said, “Mr. Fang, I have the key, but I don’t know if it’s real…”
“…Just getting the job done is enough. Whether it’s real or not, it doesn’t matter; he wouldn’t give a fake one anyway,” Fang Yu responded. “Let me know when you leave the East Capital Martial Arts Association.”

Bái Rán casually put the keys into his storage pouch and prepared to leave.
“Master, you must have some knowledge of the Great Temple, right?” Qi Rong said.
“Hmm,” Bai Ran replied.
“So Master, when do you plan to open the Grand Sanctuary?” Qirong asked, his eyes flickering.
Bai Ran glanced at Qi Rong, her brows furrowing as she said, “What does this have to do with you?”
“I apologize for speaking out of turn. This key now belongs to the master, and I have no right to interfere.” Qirong immediately bowed.
Bai ran said nothing, walking outside.
“Master, I will send you downstairs,” Qi Rong said, following behind.
“No need.” Bai Ran waved his hand.
“Then I’ll have a few of my subordinates escort you down.” Qirong said, giving the two captains standing guard by the door a look.
Two martial venerators, the team leaders, immediately followed.
Qi Rong watched Bai Ran’s departing figure, squinting his eyes, his gaze flickering.
Until Bai Ran stepped into the elevator and disappeared from view, Qi Rong only then turned around and returned to the president’s office.
The key was sent out, and Fang Changsheng was also taken to the Martial Arts Association…
Now, I need to report the situation to the celestial being.
Qi Rong was sitting at his desk, opening a drawer, about to take out an item.
At this moment, the office door was knocked on.
Qi Rong said, pushing the drawer back in, “Come in.”
The office door swung open and Cao Xin walked in from outside.
“What’s wrong?” Qi Rong asked.
“Chairman, how are we going to deal with that damned Fang Changsheng?” Cao Xin asked with a sinister expression.
Qi Rong leaned against the back of his chair and said, “I’m considering it.”
“President, I request you hand him over to me!” Cao Xin said with venomous eyes and a cold voice, “I want to avenge Mu Yu!”
Qirong looked at Caoxin, silent for several seconds, shook his head and said: “This Fang Changsheng… I must be fully responsible, I can’t hand him over to you.”
Cao Xin’s face changed, and he said: “President, even if you take full responsibility, I can help you…”
“I understand what you mean, there’s no need to rush.” Qirong said, a smile playing on his lips. “This person is already in our hands. You want to torture him, go ahead. No one from the entire Martial Arts Association will stop you.”
“But you remember, this person can’t be killed for now.”
“You can’t kill him, the guild leader…” Cao Xin’s face changed, he was about to speak.
“Boom!”
Just then, a deafening roar erupted from downstairs, and the entire guild hall building trembled violently!
