Chapter 65: Yuan Zhuang Visits

The trudgeon was indeed a formidable weapon, but Fang Chens spirit ki was fully expended with just a couple of swings. On the bright side, his spirit ki capacity grew each time he depleted his spirit ki.

However, the earlier test verified Fang Chens suspicion that it was a close-quarters combat artifact. It had to come into contact with its target to unleash its terrifying prowess. This meant that he couldnt rely on it to raise his cultivation.

There werent enough barren mountains in the vicinity for him to tear down. Its destructive prowess was simply too great.

What did you just do?! Is that a storage ring? Li Daoye was flabbergasted.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Storage rings were a unique artifact in the world of cultivation. They werent combat-oriented, but they were worth far more than ordinary artifacts. Possessing one was a status symbol.

Young master, a Longdu scholar let slip that one of their pinnacle Ki Control martial artists might advance to Ki Manifestation very soon, Xu Ge walked forward, clasped his fist, and reported.

Longdu has a total of seven pinnacle Ki Control martial artists. Three of them are dukes, and the remaining four are marquesses. Of them, Marquess Xian Yu is the most likely to advance to Ki Manifestation, Fang Chen said with a smile. If Longdu wages a State War on us, he would likely be their trump card.

Brother Fang, theres no way mere martial artists can be a match for you. Why dont you march over and beat them into submission straight? We should quickly settle other issues so that we can focus our effort on dealing with the Blood Spirit Cult, Li Daoye said.

I dont intend on revealing my identity as a cultivator yet. Theres no saying when the four remaining Blood Spirit Cultists will return to Great Xia, and how powerful they are, Fang Chen said. He turned to Li Daoye and asked, Speaking of which, why did you suddenly return?

Sometimes, a man cant run away from his responsibilities. I Li Daoye was about to go on a long rant when he saw Fang Chens penetrating gaze. That made him feel embarrassed, so he sheepishly smiled and honestly replied, An enemy came knocking. I dont know how he found me, but Id be dead meat if he gets his hands on me. After some consideration, I decided to turn to you for help.

Abbess Clearlotus was angered to hear that. She naively thought Li Daoye had changed his mind because he couldnt let the Blood Spirit Cultists harm more innocent people, but who could have thought that he was just using Fang Chen to seek refuge from his enemy?

Youre intending to make use of our young master? Old Huangs eyes widened as he grabbed Li Daoyes neck.

Xu Ge placed his sword on Li Daoyes neck too. Tie Ma coldly eyed Li Daoye from head to toe, as if deciding where he should cut first.

Li Daoye was stunned. He released a gleam of white light that knocked Old Huang and Xu Ge several steps back.

Audacious!

Without any hesitation, the three of them activated their Protection Talisman, Flitting Talisman, and Strength Talisman, greatly enhancing their fighting prowess, before charging at Li Daoye once more to beat him up.

What the hell?! Protection Talisman, Flitting Talisman and Strength Talisman?! Brother Fang, did you raid the house of a talisman master?! Li Daoye exclaimed while dodging their attacks.

These talismans werent cheap, but these three martial artists used three each. This was worth a lot of low-grade ki stones!

Thank you, War God Fang! Li Maocai was overjoyed.

Shortly after, he took his leave. They didnt say anything else, as if this was merely a normal meeting, but both sides knew that the Striding Dragon Consortium had found a strong backing today!

Miss Fang, you may report anything concerning the Compassion Halls directly to me. Feel free to drop by our Fang Manor whenever youre free, Fang Chen said with a nod.

Big brother, I can at least help out in the Compassion Halls, right? I chatted with big sister Qingyao while you were out. Those people are really pitiful, so I want to work with big sister Qingyao to help them, Fang Zhixue said.

I thought youre only interested in martial arts? Fang Chen was intrigued.

Fang Zhixue had been a martial art fanatic from a young age, or else she wouldnt have advanced to Ki Explosion at such a young age. She was one of the strongest martial artists among the youths in the capital.

Father and mother told me not to spend all my time on martial arts, or else it wont be easy for me to find a husband in the future. Im just following what they said, Fang Zhixue replied.

Sure, you may help out at the Compassion Halls. Fang Chen gave the matter some thought before nodding.

Fang Zhixue was thrilled. She grabbed Fang Qingyaos arm and ran off with the latter.

Xu Ge, keep an eye on her, Fang Chen instructed.

Xu Ge nodded before silently following Fang Qingyao.

The Compassion Halls had ties with the Blood Spirit Cult.

When the remaining four Blood Spirit Cultists returned to Great Xia and found their comrades gone, they would investigate the matter from the Compassion Halls. That would draw their eyes to Fang Chen and Fang Qingyao.

There was a chance that they might lay their hands on Fang Zhixue too, so he would have dispatched Xu Ge to protect her even if she didnt get involved with the Compassion Halls.

Xu Ge had the mid-grade Purple Lightning Talismans with him, so he should be able to instantly take down normal cultivators.

The following day, Yuan Yu and Yuan Zhuang paid a visit to the Fang Manor.

Yuan Zhuang was faring much better now. The Court of Great Brilliance had found a renowned physician to treat him.

Young master, thank you for saving my life! Yuan Zhuang kneeled down and kowtowed.

Officials shouldnt kneel to civilians, but hardly anyone in Great Xia would really treat Fang Chen as a normal civilian.
