Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin: I Set Taboos in the Heavens

The Holy King Sect was established and grew in strength.

However, Fang Qing continued to live a very pleasant life and was not affected in any way.

Yang Qi was the first among the Holy Kings to encounter trouble. There was no way around it; he had no interest in Yun Hailan, who was also at the Heavenly Academy and had met Yang Qi. So, this woman actually wanted to subdue Yang Qi, which naturally resulted in Yang Qi's rejection.

Yun Hailan was somewhat displeased when Yang Qi refused, so some foolish men from the Crown Prince's faction started to stir up trouble.

On this day, Fang Qing was having a small gathering with his cousin Yang Qi when five or six figures descended upon their castle. The leader, dressed in white, stood with his hands behind his back, looking down with an arrogant air, like a king descending upon the world. Several others stood on either side, their expressions sinister.

"Is Yang Qi here? Come out quickly, we have something to ask you!"

Several voices could be heard from outside.

The voice was sharp, carrying an undisguised air of arrogance.

Yang Qi frowned, a cold glint in his eyes: "Cousin, they are people from the Crown Prince's faction. These people actually came to us, probably to inquire about the reason why Li He and the others' cultivation progressed so quickly."

Fang Qing picked up his teacup, took a sip, and a playful smile appeared on his lips: "Oh? The Crown Prince's dogs are barking at my doorstep?"

He put down his teacup, stood up, and flicked his sleeve: "Come on, cousin. I've been wanting to see what kind of person dares to be so insolent in front of my brother."

The two walked out of the castle side by side.

Outside the castle, clouds and mist churned, and five figures hovered in mid-air. The leader was Jiang Fan, dressed in spotless white robes, standing with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the entire Holy King Peak as if he were surveying his own territory.

Several other people, one named Gu Fenxian and another named Song Haishan, stood on either side, while two others exuded a cold aura, clearly elites from the Crown Prince's faction.

Yang Qi stood before the peak, his blue robe swaying gently in the wind: "If you have something to say, feel free to speak frankly here."

"Yang Qi!"

Gu Fenxian stepped forward, his body wreathed in crimson flames. "Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! You're only coming with us today to save face for you. If you dare to disobey..."

He gave a sinister smile, "I'm afraid your brothers' families can't withstand the wrath of my Crown Prince's faction."

"What exactly do you all intend to do?"

Yang Qi asked.

"Simple."

Jiang Fan flicked his sleeves lightly, "I just wanted to 'chat' with you."

He deliberately emphasized the word "chat," a hint of sarcasm playing on his lips. "Don't worry, the Heavenly Academy has its own rules, I won't do anything to you. However... if you're unwilling, then I'll let you know the methods of my Crown Prince's faction."

"Since we're going to talk, let's talk."

But at this moment, Fang Qing spoke up.

"Very good, very good. It seems you know what's good for you. Let's go!"

Jiang Fan glanced at Fang Qing and chuckled coldly.

Thousands of miles away, on a summer grassland.

Wildflowers bloomed in profusion, and lush green grass stretched to the horizon, with a winding river weaving through the landscape like a silver ribbon. Jiang Fan led his group to land, and almost the instant their feet touched the meadow, the five members of the Crown Prince's faction scattered as if they had practiced this a thousand times!

"Formation!"

Jiang Fan gave a sharp shout, and Gu Fenxian, Song Haishan, and the other three responded and instantly took up positions in their respective corners. The five of them took mysterious steps, made hand seals, and their true energy burst forth, weaving together into a magnificent golden array in the sky above the grassland.

"Five Sacred Mountains Demon-Suppressing Formation!"

This formation is a demon-slaying formation passed down through the authentic lineage of the Heavenly Academy, taking the form of the Five Sacred Mountains and embodying the meaning of suppressing demons.

The five phantom images of sacred mountains echoed each other, and a righteous aura swept out like a tide, illuminating the surrounding area for ten miles as if it were daytime.

This righteous formation, meant to purify evil and protect all living beings, is now being used to trap fellow disciples. "Fang Qing! Yang Qi!"

Jiang Fan stood beneath the illusory image of the central divine mountain, golden light illuminating his seemingly upright face, yet unable to conceal the greed in his eyes. "Hand over the secret technique that helped Li He and the other three advance to their deaths! Such heaven-defying methods are not something you can enjoy alone!"

Gu Fenxian grinned maliciously from the southern sacred mountain: "That's right! Liang Dong, Hua Yinhu, He Jili, and Li He are nothing but mediocre talents from the outer court. If they didn't use evil techniques, how could they all break through to the next realm within a month? Tell me! What kind of demonic methods did you use?"

"The devil's path?"

Fang Qing stood in the center of the formation, looking up at the five towering mountain shadows, and chuckled, "Using a righteous method like the Five Mountains Demon Suppression Formation to carry out interrogation and extortion... do you even deserve to mention the word 'demonic path'?"

"The Celestial Academy is truly corrupt, and you are all trash, utterly trash, do you understand that?!"

"shut up!"

Song Haishan roared from the Western Divine Mountain, his sword energy surging in his palm, "Stop beating around the bush! If you don't hand over the secret technique today, I'll let you taste the pain of the Five Sacred Mountains pressing down on you!"

Before he finished speaking, the five phantom divine mountains crashed down! Five completely different righteous powers merged and crushed each other. An ordinary cultivator at the Life-Seizing Realm would probably be reduced to mud in an instant within this formation.

However, neither Fang Qing nor Yang Qi showed any change in expression.

"The formation is a good formation, but unfortunately... the person who uses it has a corrupt heart."

Fang Qing stretched out his right hand, spread his five fingers, and gently clenched them in the air.

"break."

There was no earth-shattering roar, no dazzling explosion.

The five illusory divine mountains that had been pressing down with the might of heaven and earth suddenly trembled violently when they were still ten feet above Fang Qing's head. Cracks appeared in the array patterns like a spider web, and the five divine mountains dimmed instantly before collapsing completely.

"How can it be?!"

Jiang Fan's pupils shrank sharply, "The Five Mountains Demon-Suppressing Formation is an ancient orthodox method, you..."

His words stopped abruptly.

Fang Qing's hand had already pierced through layers of array patterns and pressed against the central array eye. That hand was fair and slender, yet at this moment it seemed to contain the power to create the world. The instant his five fingers closed, the entire array shattered inch by inch like glass.

"puff--"

Jiang Fan and the other four coughed up blood and flew backward. The backlash from the formation struck their chests like a heavy hammer, instantly damaging their meridians.

Fang Qing took a step forward, and the golden light beneath his feet shattered and scattered like fireflies. He walked up to Jiang Fan, looking down at this once arrogant key member of the Crown Prince's faction.

With a single step, Fang Qing sealed all of Jiang Fan's true energy, rendering it completely unusable.

Jiang Fan seemed to have become an ordinary person.

"Cousin, look at this Heavenly Academy, it's becoming more and more like a junkyard, accepting all sorts of trash."

Fang Qing spoke, his voice carried away by the wind and into the clouds.

Once upon a time, the Tianwei Academy was founded on the mission of "bringing peace to the world and spreading the civilization of a prosperous age." Its disciples all took it upon themselves to eliminate evil, defend the righteous path, and uphold justice.

But now?

They form cliques, bully others, and stop at nothing to satisfy their own selfish desires.

The Crown Prince's faction? They're nothing but a bunch of parasites huddling together for warmth, using the "Crown Prince's" name to commit despicable acts. People like Jiang Fan, with cultivation levels barely reaching the Life-Seizing Realm, dare to call themselves "rules" and disregard the law.

Song Haishan is a clown; he gets a little bit of luck and then becomes arrogant and ignorant.

"Indeed, there's too much trash. The entire academy needs a cleanup!" (End of Chapter)
