When Yuan Zhongdao came to the Fang Mansion, he was still young. After his master Xiang Xiu died, he stayed with Fang Zheng, practically raised by him single-handedly.

He’s more or less like Fang Heng and Fang Ping’an, barely considered his adopted sons.

"Children grow up and can’t be kept..."

"Let him go!"

Although calling Yuan Zhongdao back wouldn’t be difficult, it would be meaningless and might even provoke a rebellious attitude.

Calling someone master,

doesn’t necessarily mean they are the owner.

Quiet room.

Fang Zheng sat cross-legged, unfolding the fabric that recorded the Sound Killing Secret Technique ’Wind and Thunder Roar,’ and focused on it.

Lion’s Roar Skill, Wind and Thunder Roar...

Names like these are quite common in Sound Killing Skills; any Sound Wave Skill might have similar names.

However,

the Wind and Thunder Roar from the Luofu Immortal Sect is different from ordinary Sound Wave Skills, having higher grade and greater power.

"Hoo..."

Fang Zheng took a deep breath, circulating True Qi as described in the Dharma Gate, vibrating his chest, and suddenly opened his mouth.

"Roar!"

Visible sound waves surged from his mouth, hitting the wall made of solid mountain stone opposite him.

The stone wall trembled, and gray stone powder fell down in streams.

Thanks to his powerful body and previous cultivation foundation in Sound Technique, even a slight attempt was enough to perform Wind and Thunder Roar.

The power,

also somewhat unexpected.

"Hmm?"

Fang Zheng’s eyes moved slightly, he waved his hand lightly, and a gust of wind swept away the stone powder, revealing the bare stone wall.

On the stone wall,

there were some dense and strange patterns that appeared more than before.

He was very familiar with these patterns.

"Thunder Pattern!"

Fang Zheng nodded slowly:

"It can indeed summon the Power of Wind and Thunder; if the cultivation technique is mastered, it might even be possible to have Celestial Thunder in one’s mouth."

Just thinking about it,

a person opening their mouth wide, shooting out lightning beams, the scene is somewhat bizarrely amusing.

He stroked his chin and shook his head, continuing to look at the fabric.

The reason Wind and Thunder Roar can summon the Power of Wind and Thunder is that when the sound wave collides, it bursts out invisible Thunder Sound.

This sound can be used to kill enemies externally or be tempered internally.

And the method of inner cultivation is what truly interests Fang Zheng.

Thunder Sound shakes the limbs and bones, flesh, meridians, and even scatters underlying maladies deep within the flesh, purifying the corporeal shell of the Primordial Spirit.

Thus achieving the effect of tempering the body.

The ’Elemental’ in Elemental Thunder Skill bears resemblance, except it cannot be used to kill externally.

As the saying goes, a stone from another mountain can be used to polish jade.

Fang Zheng intends to deepen his understanding of Elemental Thunder Skill through Wind and Thunder Roar to seek a breakthrough opportunity.

Especially the special operation Dharma Gate within Wind and Thunder Roar...

"Boom!"

"Rumble!"

"..." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Fang Zheng sat cross-legged with eyes closed, as Thunder Sound roared and surged within him, Elemental Thunder Skill operated alongside, and he continued to adjust, integrating all the secret techniques described in Wind and Thunder Roar.

In a flash, several days passed.

Feeling some gain, he then took out a Thunder Source Stone and placed it in his palm, beginning to cultivate its refinement.

The Thunder Source Stone contained pure Power of Thunder, as living water externally, permeating the True Qi within.

The previously still True Qi suddenly came alive.

Effective!

Unsure whether it’s the improved Elemental Thunder Skill or the Thunder Source Stone’s power itself, his cultivation base visibly increased.

The cultivation hurdles also showed obvious loosening.

In the following period, Fang Zheng stayed closely within Gu’an County, either cultivating or spending time with his wife and children, quite leisurely and comfortable.

Of course,

he didn’t relax in collecting external information either.

To prove his innocence, Black Wind Ascendant requested to be the vanguard against bandits, leading Black Wind Stronghold experts to launch an attack on Cyan Wolf Gang first.

Initially,

progress was swift.

The Bone-Eroding Soul-Devouring Wind and Doomsday Earth Sand were unleashed, making nearly invincible under Master and Martial Sect, Cyan Wolf Gang’s several experts fell to Black Wind Ascendant’s hand.

Until...

Cyan Wolf himself took action, confronting Great Mage Black Wind Ascendant with peak Martial Artist cultivation, further unleashing a rebel army to surround and kill.

This battle, fought furiously.

Ultimately ending with Black Wind Ascendant unable to win and fleeing, although lucky to survive, he was reportedly seriously injured.

"Heh..."

Fang Zheng put down the letter in his hand with a light laugh:

"Black Wind Ascendant severely injured, second-in-command Zhu Gui killed, Black Wind Stronghold’s experts further targeted for revenge and encirclement by Cyan Wolf Gang, some dead, some wounded. Once so dominant, the Black Wind Stronghold meets such an end in short order, it’s fate’s trick."

"Looks like the ten percent profit I promised won’t need to be given."

Speaking of,

he had promised many people benefits.

Regrettably!

Often only provided in the first year, by the second year the other party struggled to continue, much like Black Wind Stronghold’s lost prestige.

"In these current times, the banners of kingship change atop the city, one ends, another begins, those who stand out first usually have the worst fate."

"Best to stay cautious."

With Black Wind Stronghold hurt, Cyan Wolf Gang also suffers.

In the coming days, numerous forces joined in besieging, the territory occupied by rebels shrinks steadily until cornered in Tiger Cliff.

"Cyan Wolf escaped again?"

Fang Zheng held his forehead:

"For several decades, this guy repeatedly escapes the Imperial Court army’s hunts, always breaking through whenever others think it’s hopeless, only to return a few years later, his strength growing each time. Does he have the fate of a protagonist?"

"Enough!"

"It has nothing to do with me."

......

Several months later.

"Yuan Zhongdao, greets Master!"

"Pan Xin greets Uncle."

In the grand hall, a man and a woman, a perfect couple, knelt on the ground, bowing towards the seated figure above.

"Rise!"

Fang Zheng waved his hand lightly, the Invisible Force lifted them up, speaking gently:

"A talented man and beautiful woman, a perfect match, excellent, excellent!"

Looking at them, he asked:

"I heard you plan to marry?"

"Yes!"

Yuan Zhongdao nodded:

"Xin’Er and I fell in love at first sight, we’re in love, hope Master permits our marriage."

"Uncle." Pan Xin knelt again:
