Chapter 97: Pinnacle Earth Profound!

War God Fang, you returned just in time! Niu Jue rushed forward and hurriedly explained everything that had just happened to Fang Chen.

The nearby Valiant Defenders were stumped. They couldnt figure out whether Niu Jue was part of their Valiant Defenders or Fang Chens subordinate.

Jade Fairy was infuriated to learn that the Fang Clansmen had been taken to the imperial palace. She turned to Fang Chen and roared, Young master, that dog emperor dares

Dog emperor?!

Niu Jue widened his eyes. He hurriedly turned to the nearby Valiant Defenders and roared, Why are the lot of you still dawdling here? Get lost!

Yes sir! The Valiant Defenders rushed away, knowing that it was best for them to feign deaf.

Chillwater sent Ji Lengyue here, right? Fang Chen murmured.

Niu Jue first glanced at the Jade Fairy before he answered Fang Chen with a nod, Yes, the name of the envoy is Ji Lengyue. He brought a platoon of Nightmare Knights with him. I heard that these Nightmare Knights are pinnacle Ki Control martial artists, and paired with their steeds, they can easily slaughter Great Xias hundred thousand soldiers several times over

Ji Lengyue isnt considered to be one of the more outstanding ones among the Ji Clans younger generation, but I heard he has reached Earth Profound realm, Fang Chen muttered. The Ji Clan holds great influence in Chillwater, controlling half of it. Even Chillwaters emperor addresses the Ji Clans patriarch as a brother. They have under their control half of Chillwaters 10,000 Nightmare Knights.

Niu Jue gasped in horror. He couldnt have imagined that Chillwater was so strong as to have over 10,000 Nightmare Knights! This would make them at least a hundred times stronger than the current Great Xia!

Chillwater has sixteen vassal states. Did you think that they only have Great Xia, Guhe, Yizhou, and Longdu under them? Were just the countries located east of Chillwater, Fang Chen replied with a chuckle.

He had been collecting intelligence on nearby countries ever since he took control of the army and established the Great Xia Shadow Guards, especially when it came to their superior state, Chillwater Country.

Part of his motivation was due to Fang Zhentian having crossed blows with Chillwaters Nightmare Knights in his younger years. His greatest internal trauma was from that encounter.

Chillwater didnt think that its vassal states could threaten them, so it didnt bother keeping its information confidential. Thus, the Great Xia Shadow Guards were able to easily gather crucial information such as their distribution of power and the ranking of their experts.

Thus, Fang Chen had a decent understanding of Chillwater.

I didnt know Chillwater has that many vassal states. Its no wonder they are so powerful. These vassal states must contribute a huge sum of wealth to them every year Niu Jue remarked.

I didnt expect Zhou Xiu to be a bastard son of the Ji Clan. I wonder who in the Ji Clan is so carefree, Fang Chen murmured.

He turned to Jade Fairy and whispered to her. The latter nodded and took her leave.

Behind the empress was Noble Consort Hua, Xia Yu, and the others, and they revealed different expressions upon seeing Fang Zhentian. In particular, Noble Consort Hua looked gleeful.

Old General Fang, it has been a long time. Did you manage to advance to Ki Manifestation? the emperor asked.

The officials pricked up their ears out of curiosity.

I fear my lacking talent has hindered me from advancing to Ki Manifestation, Fang Zhentian clasped his fist and replied.

He failed? The crowd felt conflicted, not knowing whether they should rejoice or be disappointed over this.

Its understandable. Martial cultivation is not easy, the emperor replied with a nod. He suddenly changed his tone as he continued speaking, You should know why I called you and your people here today, right?

He turned to Ji Lengyue and introduced him, This is Chillwaters envoy, Ji Lengyue.

Ji Lengyue? How are you related to Ji Congyun? Fang Zhentian asked.

You know my grandfather? Ji Lengyue narrowed his eyes.

The crowd was taken aback. They didnt expect Ji Zhentian to be acquainted with such an important person from the Ji Clan.

I have crossed blows with him many years ago. Fang Zhentian chuckled.

Ah. Now that you mention it, my grandfather did mention he encountered a Great Xia martial artist while he was traveling the world. If Im not mistaken, you suffered a severe internal trauma from that battle. Its no wonder you failed to make a breakthrough, Ji Lengyue sneered.

The Fang Clansmen were infuriated. The officials were startled too.

To think Fang Zhentians most severe internal trauma was inflicted by the Ji Clan!

Fang Zhentian wasnt bothered by Ji Lengyues taunt. How strong is Ji Congyun now?

He has long reached pinnacle Earth Profound. Ji Lengyue looked at Fang Zhentian in disdain. Youre nothing more than an ant in his eyes now.

Pinnacle Earth Profound?

The crowd was shocked. They couldnt imagine how powerful a pinnacle Earth Profound martial artist was.
