The war started because of Fang Chen and ended because of Fang Chen.
The Lord of the Heavenly Thunder Region did not expect that Fang Chen would play such a crucial role in the war.
After the war ended, the Lord of the Heavenly Thunder Region briefly arranged the aftermath, and then hurriedly took Fang Chen back to the Region City.
As for the Demon Cloud Family, they were incomparably furious.
In the Demon Cloud Family Mansion, the Patriarch of the Demon Cloud Family was very calm, without a trace of anger.
The several Elders beside him felt a little strange.
"Patriarch, we lost this war."
Before the Elder finished speaking, the Patriarch of the Demon Cloud Family waved his hand to stop him.
"I wanted to use this war to kill Fang Chen and force the Lord of the Heavenly Thunder Region to hand over that thing, but I failed." The Patriarch of the Demon Cloud Family said.
In the eyes of the Patriarch of the Demon Cloud Family, a small Fang Chen was not worthy of him starting a war with the Heavenly Thunder Region.
Originally, he did not have any plan, he just wanted to kill Fang Chen.
However, when Fang Chen fled to the Heavenly Thunder Region and the Lord of the Heavenly Thunder Region took action, he had a comprehensive plan in his heart.
Everything in the war was under his control.
Only Fang Chen's sudden appearance was something he did not expect.
A Heaven Star Border Realm expert could not intervene in a Profound King Realm battle.
The secret technique that Fang Chen used was too tyrannical, and it made the Patriarch of the Demon Cloud Family a little curious.
He was invincible under the Heaven Star Border Realm, no matter how many Half-Step Heaven Star Border Realm experts there were, it was useless.
Therefore, after seeing Fang Chen's strength, the Patriarch of the Demon Cloud Family decisively stopped the war.
"After this war, the Demon Cloud Family will definitely be laughed at by other Provinces." The Elder said in a deep voice.
"So what if it's a joke? Compared with that thing, it's nothing." The Patriarch of the Demon Cloud Family said.
"Patriarch, what is it?" The Elder asked.
The Patriarch of the Demon Cloud Family shook his head and did not say anything more.
Half a month after the war ended.
Thunder Freer came back in a hurry, and his face was not looking good.
"Big Brother Thunder, why are you back?" After seeing Thunder Freer, Fang Chen asked in confusion.
"I already know about the war between the Heavenly Thunder State and the Demon Cloud State. You should leave this place quickly," Thunder Freer said.
"Why?" Fang Chen asked.
"The powerhouses of the Demon Cloud State have already returned from Trace Island. Once they all return, the Heavenly Thunder State will not be able to fight against the Demon Cloud State. At that time, you will definitely die," Thunder Freer said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Fang Chen was shocked.
The powerhouses of the Demon Cloud State returned from Mark Island.
An elite that could cause even Heavenly Thunder Freer to feel apprehensive was at least an elite of the Heavenly Body Tier, right?
As he spoke, the Lord of Heavenly Thunder State appeared.
"Old Prefecture Lord." The Heavenly Thunder Prefecture Lord cupped his hands and greeted.
"You were right to protect Fang Chen this time. However, right now, our Heavenly Thunder State is in great danger," Thunder Freer said.
The Lord of the Heavenly Thunder Continent was confused. He was about to ask when he sensed a terrifying aura approaching the place.
The next moment, Thunder Freer and the Lord of the Heavenly Thunder State jumped into the sky.
Three figures were rapidly flying over from the horizon. Terrifying auras were emitted from their bodies, which swept across the entire city.
"They're here." The Lord of the Heavenly Thunder State was shocked. He did not expect the powerhouses of the Demon Cloud State to come so quickly.
"Thunder Freer, you should already know why we're here," one of the powerhouses said coldly.
His words made the Lord of the Heavenly Thunder State beside him palpitate.
"Three powerhouses of the Heavenly Body Tier?"
The Lord of the Heavenly Thunder State was a little confused. Normally, he could not even see one powerhouse of the Heavenly Body Tier, but now, three had appeared.
Moreover, all three of them were from the Demon Cloud State.
There were many powerhouses from the Demon Cloud State, and many of them had stepped into the Heavenly Body Tier.
They had always lived in the center of Trace Island, and did not care about the Demon Cloud State at all.
However, this time, they actually returned to the Demon Cloud State together.
"Hand over that thing."
Another person said coldly.
In their eyes, Fang Chen was not worth mentioning. They did not even want to kill him.
They were only slightly interested in that thing.
"Impossible." Thunder Freer refused directly.
That thing was useless to powerhouses of the Heavenly Body Tier, but it was very useful to cultivators of the Heaven Dipper Tier.
Moreover, with that thing, it could at least guarantee that the Heavenly Thunder State could continue to exist and not be destroyed.
"You dare to refuse the will of the grand ancestor?" the last powerhouse of the Heavenly Body Tier said coldly.
"Grand ancestor?"
Hearing the two words "grand ancestor", Thunder Freer's face finally darkened.
He knew very well what the two words "grand ancestor" meant.
The grand ancestor of the Demon Cloud State lived in seclusion on Trace Island all year round and rarely showed himself.
However, every powerhouse of the Heavenly Body Tier knew how powerful this person was.
"Grand ancestor has also returned?" Thunder Freer asked with a wry smile.
"Yes, grand ancestor has returned, and specially asked the three of us to come here. It was not easy for you to cultivate to the Heavenly Body Tier, so you must not destroy your future," the first person said.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "I can give you the thing, but the Demon Cloud State is not allowed to invade the Heavenly Thunder State from now on."
Thunder Freer's face was full of helplessness.
Although he was also a powerhouse of the Heavenly Body Tier, in front of the grand ancestor, he was not worth mentioning at all.
This time, the grand ancestor of the Demon Cloud State had returned, so there was nothing he could do.
"Old governor," the governor of the Heavenly Thunder State called out loudly.
Thunder Freer shook his head slightly, and then said, "Hand it over."
In the end, the three powerhouses of the Heavenly Body Tier obtained the item.
However, before they left, one of them waved his hand, and the vast power of stars instantly turned into a terrifying arm that swooped down.
At this moment, Fang Chen, who was in the city, suddenly felt his body being restrained, and a terrifying power attacked him.
"Oh no!"
Fang Chen shouted in his mind, and struggled with all his might.
However, he could not break free.
Boom!
The explosive power directly enveloped Fang Chen, and the whole city shook.
"You …" Thunder Freer was furious, and he glared at the three powerhouses of the Heavenly Body Tier.
"You killed a member of the Demon Cloud State, and heaven and earth will not tolerate it."
Then, the three of them turned and left.
After the aftershock of the explosion disappeared, Fang Chen's body was already a bloody mess.
"Fang Chen."
Thunder Freer came to Fang Chen, and the powerful power of stars poured into his body, trying to save Fang Chen.
However, the injury was too serious, and there was no way to save him.
"Is there no hope?" the governor of the Heavenly Thunder State asked.
Thunder Freer shook his head, and his face was full of helplessness.
No life aura could be sensed from Fang Chen's body.
In the capital of the Demon Cloud State, in the mansion of the Demon Cloud State.
"Grand ancestor, the item has been brought back." The three powerhouses of the Heavenly Body Tier had already rushed back to the Demon Cloud State.
An old man with white hair and a face full of wrinkles nodded, and then said, "The Demon Cloud State has declined too quickly, and the cultivators now are too weak."
The grand ancestor had been living in seclusion on Scar Island for so many years, and he had never paid attention to the Demon Cloud State.
However, when the grand ancestor heard about the war between the Demon Cloud State and the Heavenly Thunder State, he felt very helpless.
Since he left, the overall strength of the Demon Cloud State had declined too quickly, and now they could not win the war with other states.
The grand ancestor had a thought, and he immediately returned, preparing to personally guide the people of the Demon Cloud State.
As for the item, the grand ancestor did not know at all.
It was a strange piece of metal. More accurately, it was a prison.
There was a space inside the iron plate, and the clansmen of the Demon Blood Race were imprisoned.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of treasure would be in the hands of the higher-ups of Scar Island.
The grand ancestor returned and asked about the reason for the war.
The patriarch of the Demon Cloud State told the grand ancestor that he had traveled with the governor of the Heavenly Thunder State on a trip to the ruins, and found the strange iron plate, but it was snatched away by the governor of the Heavenly Thunder State.
All these years, he had been planning to take back the iron plate.
Although he did not know what the iron plate was, his intuition told him that it was definitely a treasure.
After listening to the patriarch of the Demon Cloud State's detailed introduction, the grand ancestor knew that the iron plate was a prison that imprisoned the Demon Blood Race.
This kind of prison could only be opened by high-level Heavenly Body Tier elites.
The grand ancestor was so interested in the prison because, in addition to the countless clansmen of the Demon Blood Race, there was also a Slaughter Arena.
The Slaughter Arena was a place that specialized in competition.
Scar Island was often used to train the prodigies of the younger generation, and their opponents were prisoners of the Demon Blood Race of all levels.
And this time, the grand ancestor wanted to open the prison and let the martial artists of the Demon Cloud State enter the Slaughter Arena.
Half a month later, the prison was opened, and countless martial artists of the Demon Cloud State poured into the Slaughter Arena.
After hearing this news, the patriarch of the Demon Cloud State was very excited.
With so many powerful sparring partners, the Demon Cloud State would soon rise again.
After everything was settled, the grand ancestor left the Demon Cloud State with three Heavenly Body Tier elites and returned to Scar Island.
In the Heavenly Thunder State, Thunder Freer also left.
Before leaving, he held a grand funeral for Fang Chen.
Near the capital of the Heavenly Thunder State, there was a cemetery that was said to be the highest standard in the Heavenly Thunder State.
Countless elites of the Heavenly Thunder State were buried inside.
Fang Chen was buried here.
At the front of the cemetery, there was a tombstone with the words "Fang Chen's Tomb" written on it.
The name of the person who signed the letter was Thunder Freer.
Fang Chen, a genius martial artist who was invincible under the Heavenly Dipper Tier, died just like that from a casual strike of a Heavenly Body Tier elite.
All the martial artists of the Heavenly Thunder State felt pity for Fang Chen.
In the cemetery, there was a special gravedigger.
The gravedigger would sprinkle water on the soil above the grave every day to keep it moist.
Today, the gravedigger sprinkled water according to the rules.
Soon, he finished sprinkling water and left the cemetery.
However, after he left, there was not a single drop of water on the soil below Fang Chen's tombstone.
The soil was very dry, as if it had been exposed to the sun all year round.
And in the soil, streaks of Sword Qi were faintly discernible.
In the grave, Fang Chen's badly damaged body suddenly moved.
It was the beating of a golden heart.
Weng!
A fierce and domineering Sword Dao aura spread out from the golden heart.
That day, Fang Chen had suffered such a powerful blow, and his body was badly mutilated. However, his heart was intact and did not suffer any damage.
