THE LIGHTNING EMPEROR

Challenges

The Ice Lion flew at high speed following his father as well as the Mu Clan members who were likely still not far away, at the speed of the Ice Lion, the two of them could catch up with the members of the Mu Clan.

"Teacher, why don't you wait for me if you're going to leave for the Moon Shadow Branch Headquarters?" fang An asked after catching up with Gu Yao He.

"Since noon your father's been looking for you, but we've all no one knows where you are!" gu Yao He replied then he noticed the Blue Sword on Fang An's back while asking, "Is that your sword?" ask Gu Yao He.

Mu Zhi Tian also noticed the big blue sword on Fang An's back, he and Gu Yao He also sensed that Fang An's strength was again increasing.

"Yes teacher! This sword I obtained from within the bottom of the abyss of that time," Fang An replied.

"Current? Which rift do you mean?" asked Mu Zhi Tian.

"That chasm, the Bottomless Gorge!" fang An and Gu Yao He replied strengthening him with a nod.

Mu Zhi Tian certainly did not believe it just like that even though Gu Yao He had allowed it, because so far there had never been a single person who survived if it fell to the bottom of the abyss.

"You two want to fuck me?" said Mu Zhi Tian.

Gu Yao He merely chuckled while Fang An also intended to give an explanation.

"I'll join them below teacher!" fang An said then he immediately came down to walk along with his father as well as the others.

"Are we going to keep quiet, Your Majesty?"

"We observe the progress, it's too early to decide whether or not we will join, but I will go there with the three Commanders and hundreds of soldiers!"

"Then I will prepare the noble soldiers!"

Chang Hanzi nodded then he changed his clothes from king clothes to Combat Clothes, although he would catch up with the Mu Clan members, but he would not go straight to help.

Elsewhere, the Qin Clan was also discussing the movement of the Mu Clan that was heading to Zanxu Village, they also knew that the Mu Clan members' real purpose was to head to the Moon Shadow branch headquarters to save Fang Xian's wife.

Although the Mu Clan members left at night, but still some knew about it.

It is very difficult to hide the journey of members as many as hundreds of people, this makes their journey immediately known to the public.

The Qin Clan had never been willing to interfere in the affairs of other Clans, yet the current Elder of the Qin Clan was starting to feel uneasy, inevitably the Qin Clan will try to observe further and after that can only decide which side to side in which camp.

The problem was that right now, the entire Clan big and small as well as the groups and the public already knew about it, and of course the Hun Clan also heard the news so quickly the Hun Clan sent someone to preach this to the Moon Shadow Branch Headquarters to get ready to welcome the upcoming Mu Clan members.

Not to mention from the Peach Tree Mountain Sect that some people had indeed joined the Moon Shadow group combined and others, this time some groups were immediately sent to the Branch Headquarters, one such group was the , Snake Head Killer group that sent out several Yu Zhi, Yu Zha and Yu Zhu, of course there was one person who had high abilities also sent there.

Other groups also sent some of their fighters, this will make the defense of Headquarters will be stronger, and now everything starts to standby in their respective places.

After traveling for one day and two nights, the Mu Clan members led directly by Mu Yuan arrived in front of the Shadow Moon branch headquarters.

Their headquarters was indeed some distance away from Zanxu Village, and their headquarters was made from a high wooden fence made circular and there was a observation tower at the entrance.

"It looks like they've been waiting for our arrival!" said Mu Yuan.

Gu Fei Ming looked up at the sky, yet he did not see the whereabouts of his teacher because indeed his teacher and Mu Zhi Tian were hovering too high.

They saw three people standing in front of the entrance, and the three figures were all wearing face coverings.

Mu Yuan, Fang Zui and Fang An approached them, as well as the three figures, and the two met in the middle.

Mu Yuan did ask Fang Zui and Fang An to come with him and not to invite Fang Xian over, as he was worried that Fang Xian would act rashly again like that night.

"Greetings to Clan Elder Mu Mu Yuan, we are the three branch Headquarters chief welcoming Master Mu's arrival!" said one of them who had the voice of a middle-aged man, and he only greeted Mu Yuan, whereas Fang Zui and Fang An did not greet them.

"I didn't come here to attend the banquet! Since you seem to already know what we mean by coming, how about we get to the heart of the matter?"

"Yes we already know and are waiting for all of you, but before that I want to make an offer to you, how?"

"Offers? What offer do you mean?" ask Fang Zui.

Mu Yuan frowned and turned to Fang Zui as well as Fang An, he had no idea what they were currently planning.

"Why should we believe what you say?" asked Mu Yuan.

"Master Mu! The life of Fang Xian's wife is in our hands, her life depends on the decision of all of you, if you keep listening to us and force to fight, then our executioner will instantly eliminate Fang Xian's wife before you come forward to attack us! Look there," said the man, pointing to one of the wooden towers, which turned out to be Fang Yin, standing with a neck that had a rope, moreover, there were two executioners as well as the Protective Seal around the tower.

"Mother..!" Fang An was surprised to see his mother standing on top of the tower, although the distance was quite far, but Fang An could see very clearly the condition of his mother who was starting to thin.

Fang Zui held Fang An to remain calm, while Mu Yuan noticed the conditions around him.

Mu Yuan was trying to read the situation, the current condition might be very difficult, although Gu Yao He coming along with his brother would not end well for Fang Yin either, because the tower was like it was sealed by someone who had the ability of Yu Zhu or Yu Jing, so if Gu Yao He and Mu Zhi Tian wanted to save Fang Yin with their abilities, it was only if they could, then they would have to destroy the protective seal first and that would make the two executioners would directly execute Fang Yin before Gu Yao He and Mu Zhi Tian finished destroying the Seal.

"Truly very sneaky!" inner Mu Yuan.

"Tell me what exactly do you want to let go of my mother?" ask Fang An.

"Owh so you want to get straight to the point? All right I'll say it! If you want your mother to be free, we ask for one of the Fang Clan's most valuable items to exchange for your mother, give it to us and you can bring your mother from here!" said the man.

Mu Yuan and Fang Zui who still did not know what object they really wanted looked at Fang An then looked back at the three figures.

"We don't have the stuff you're talking about!" fang Zui said.

"really? It's a pity, but it looks like this young man knows something!" said the man.

"Fang An, you can leave me to them and take your mother away from here!" said Feng Huang.

"No Teacher! You and my mom both mean a lot to me!" replied Fang An.

"But your mother must remain saved by Fang An."

"I know that, but if I have to choose, I want to keep you both at risk!" replied Fang An.

"Hem you remind me of Xiao!" said Feng Huang.

"I don't know what you want, but you just told us that if there are two conditions, right, what's the other one?" ask Fang An.

"Are you sure? Alright if you still don't want to give that thing to us, for the last option is, I want to challenge the three members of the Fang Clan to fight with us, without the help of the Mu Clan and the others! If you win, you can take your mother home, but if you lose, then your mother will remain here and all the members of the Fang Clan will also have to give up on being our prisoners until we really get what we want!"

"You guys are so crafty! The Fang Clan no one possesses Yu Zhu's abilities like you guys, this is tantamount to cornering the Fang Clan!" said Mu Yuan who disagreed with the terms of the second.

"Master Mu, let this young man and the Fang Clan decide, the others don't interfere!" said it.

"I don't agree, I'd rather choose war than follow your cunning wits!" mu Yuan said then he prepared to raise a hand as an order to fight.

"Uncle Mu Yuan, I accept the second requirement!" fang An's words thus made Fang Zui and Mu Yuan startled.

"Fang An, the three of them are both at the Yu Zhu stage, whereas our Clan members only have you and your father, it is only Yu Zhi capable, too, then who do you want to tell to fight the three of them?" ask Fang Zui.

"I'm alone!" fang An said then he looked at the three figures and said, "I accept the conditions of your challenge!" fang An's words left the three of them confused.

"Are you sure you want to fight us alone?" ask the man.

"For my mother's sake I'm ready to fight the three of you, as a member of the Fang Clan as well as as a child, I'm ready to challenge the world despite my life as a bet!" fang An said then he released his Fighter aura as he whipped out the sword tied to his back.

Gu Yao He and Mu Zhi Tian immediately appeared behind Fang An making the three Headquarters Chiefs shocked at the appearance of the two figures before him.

"Fang An, he wants to play you, so let me take your place!" gu Yao He said.

"In addition to the other Fang Clan not being able to interfere, otherwise our executioner would have directly hanged him!"

Gu Yao He and Mu Zhi Tian gazed towards the tower then they released their energies, yet Fang An instantly held it back.

"Teacher and senior!"

Gu Yao He and Mu Zhi Tian looked at Fang An who was shaking his head because he was so worried that his mother was killed.

Due to being under threat, Gu Yao He and Mu Zhi Tian were finally only able to clench their hands and eventually all of them retreated while providing space for Fang An to fight against the three people Yu Zhu.
