reax;
Heavenly Body Tier elite.
Fang Chen's Star Concealing Sword was still a sliver away from Ou Ruochen. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't advance even a single step.
"Die, brat!"
The Heavenly Body Tier elite of the Ou Clan attacked. A large hand made of stars appeared out of thin air and suddenly pressed down on Fang Chen.
Fang Chen felt his heart palpitate. He had no choice but to give up on Ou Ruochen and turn to face the Heavenly Body Tier elite of the Ou Clan.
Second level of the Mysterious Heaven Sealing Technique.
Fang Chen didn't hesitate and used his most powerful sword technique.
A net of swords appeared in the sky. Fang Chen controlled the net of swords and shot it toward the Heavenly Body Tier elite of the Ou Clan.
Kacha.
The net of swords instantly shattered, and Fang Chen's body instantly retreated.
"You dare to attack a member of the Ou Clan? You're dead," the Heavenly Body Tier elite of the Ou Clan said with a cold smile.
Fang Chen's expression was extremely grave. This time, it was his miscalculation.
Who would've thought that Ou Ruochen would be secretly protected by a Heavenly Body Tier elite when he was out on a mission?
'Damn it!'
Fang Chen couldn't help but curse.
The Little Mouse and Demon Armor Bug wanted to help, but they were rejected by Fang Chen.
He couldn't expose himself. He had to quickly leave this place.
Boom!
Fang Chen used the Heavenly Star Technique.
This was the first time Fang Chen used his full strength after fusing the general principles.
Nine large hands made of stars appeared in the sky. Although they weren't as large as the Heavenly Body Tier elite of the Ou Clan, it was still very difficult.
"You're courting death!"
The Heavenly Body Tier elite of the Ou Clan shouted loudly and pressed down with his large hand.
He clashed with Fang Chen.
Puchi.
Too powerful. This Heavenly Body Tier elite was at the third heaven. Fang Chen couldn't block his attack at all.
Kacha.
The Heavenly Star Technique was broken, and Fang Chen's body was directly sent flying.
There was a large wound on his chest, and blood was continuously flowing out.
His face was extremely pale.
"Five Thunders Tribulation Technique."
Fang Chen suddenly charged toward the Heavenly Body Tier elite. Caught off guard, he used the Five Lightning Great Tribulation Technique.
A bolt of lightning instantly materialized in the sky, shooting toward the Heavenly Body Tier elite.
Then, with the help of the recoil, he activated the True Meaning of Time and Space and quickly disappeared into the void.
"Die!"
The Heavenly Body Tier elite shattered the lightning, and then stretched out a large hand, forcefully grabbing at the void.
Blood sprayed all over the sky.
But Fang Chen had already disappeared.
"Elder."
Ou Ruochen, who was watching from the side, had a gloomy expression.
"This person is very powerful. It's very likely that he's an assassin sent by an enemy force," the Heavenly Body Tier elder from the Ou Clan said in a deep voice.
"However, although he escaped, if he was hit, even if he didn't die, he would still shed a layer of skin."
This Heavenly Body Tier elder was keenly aware that if this person's defenses were too weak, he would definitely die from his final grab.
The Ou Family's Old Ancestor brought Ou Ruochen back to the Scar Mansion.
Fang Chen used the True Meaning of Time and Space and silently returned to the Scar Mansion.
He didn't go to Thunder Freer's courtyard, as he didn't want to implicate him.
At this time, the Heaven Mark Sect was the safest place.
He arrived outside the Heaven Mark Sect, then found a secluded place to hide, and only entered the Heaven Mark Sect when night fell.
He hurriedly returned to his courtyard. With a bang, he directly fell to the ground and fainted.
However, at this moment, Princess Xin came to look for Fang Chen.
"I wonder if he's returned?"
Princess Xin muttered to herself.
Before Fang Chen left, he had told Princess Xin, so she came to take a look.
Creak
The door opened, and under the illumination of the moonlight, Princess Xin saw the bloodstains on the ground.
Then, her whole body emitted a chill, and she quickly walked into the courtyard.
"Fang Chen!"
When she saw Fang Chen lying in the courtyard, she involuntarily cried out.
Then, she quickly squatted beside Fang Chen, and checked his condition. He was still breathing.
"How did he get so injured?" Princess Xin's face was filled with worry.
In the end, she helped Fang Chen up and brought him back to her residence.
She placed Fang Chen on the bed, then personally channeled her energy into Fang Chen's body, healing his injuries.
After six hours, even Princess Xin was a little exhausted, and only then did she stop.
Then, Princess Xin took out some medicinal pills and placed them in Fang Chen's mouth.
Only then did she relax.
"His life is no longer in danger," Princess Xin muttered to herself.
During the healing process, Princess Xin was very shocked.
What exactly happened? Why were his injuries so serious?
His internal organs were injured, and only his heart was undamaged.
It was a miracle that he was still alive.
If it was an ordinary person, they would have already died.
The person who had attacked was definitely an elite of the Heavenly Body Tier. Moreover, he was no ordinary Heavenly Body Tier cultivator.
Seeing that Fang Chen's complexion had improved, Princess Xin left the room and returned to Fang Chen's courtyard. She quickly cleaned up the bloodstains on the ground.
Then, she returned to her own courtyard and sat on a stone bench to rest.
The next day, Fang Chen woke up.
"Where is this?"
Sensing that he was in an unfamiliar place, Fang Chen instantly raised his guard.
Creak!
The door opened, and Princess Xin walked in.
"This is my room," Princess Xin said with a joyful expression.
Hearing this, Fang Chen was a little embarrassed. How did he end up in Princess Xin's room?
"I …"
"You were severely injured and unconscious in the courtyard. I just happened to be looking for you, so I brought you here," Princess Xin said.
Hearing this, Fang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"No one saw it, right?" Fang Chen asked.
"Don't worry, I've already cleaned up the bloodstains in your courtyard. Apart from me, no one else knows," Princess Xin said.
Fang Chen nodded and looked at Princess Xin gratefully.
"What exactly happened?" Princess Xin asked.
"I went to kill Ou Ruochen of the Ou Clan, but I didn't expect that a Heavenly Body Tier elite of the Ou Clan would secretly protect him. I was severely injured by a Heavenly Body Tier elite," Fang Chen said slowly.
"You …"
Princess Xin felt helpless when she heard this.
He actually went to assassinate Ou Ruochen. He was truly a daring person.
However, she seemed to have guessed it.
Killing Ou Ruochen was probably a request from her master.
"Be careful in the future. The Ou Clan is quite powerful. If they learn of your existence, they'll definitely eliminate you," Princess Xin said.
Fang Chen nodded.
Princess Xin warned Fang Chen a few more times before turning around and leaving.
Even she didn't know that she revealed a different expression when Fang Chen was severely injured.
Ou Ruochen of the Ou Clan had been assassinated. Fortunately, a Heavenly Body Tier elite had intervened. Otherwise, Ou Ruochen would have died.
In the conference hall of the Ou Clan's headquarters.
The Ou Clan Leader was furious, and the elders were also extremely furious.
"I'm guessing that this matter was most likely done by the Lei Clan."
"It's very likely. The Lei Clan has always been at odds with our Ou Clan. It must be them who wanted to destroy our Ou Clan's hope."
"Other than the Lei Clan, the Heaven Mark Sect is also possible."
The group of elders were all talking at once, randomly guessing who the attacker was.
Ou Ruochen's expression was gloomy as he sat in a corner. The battle that day appeared in his mind.
His opponent was clearly a young cultivator, so why was he so powerful?
He was one of the five great prodigies of the Scar Island, and he believed that there was almost no one in the younger generation who could defeat him.
There was even less of a person who could suppress him in an instant and make him unable to resist.
Who was that cultivator, and why did he want to kill him?
"Ruochen, what do you think?"
The Ou Clan Leader waved his hand, and the conference hall instantly quieted down.
Everyone's gaze focused on Ou Ruochen.
Ou Ruochen said, "Father, the person who attacked me was a young cultivator."
"His strength should be at the Heaven Dipper Realm." The Heavenly Body Tier old man who was protecting Ou Ruochen nodded.
"The geniuses of the Scar Island are none other than the five great prodigies. There really isn't anyone who can suppress Ruochen in an instant." The Ou Clan Leader pondered.
"No matter what, this is a provocation to our Ou Clan.
Our Ou Clan won't let this matter rest. "
In the end, the Ou Clan didn't come up with anything.
The Ou Clan Leader ordered a thorough investigation.
Heaven Mark Sect.
After Fang Chen was injured, Princess Xin stopped fighting with him.
For several days, Princess Xin and Fang Chen didn't appear.
This attracted everyone's attention.
One day, Feng Kuang discovered something and reported it to Yu Feilong.
"Senior Brother Long, Fang Chen has been in Princess Xin's courtyard for the past few days. He doesn't even return at night."
After hearing the news, Yu Feilong immediately lost his temper.
"He's courting death."
Yu Feilong was also one of Princess Xin's pursuers.
For Fang Chen to be in Princess Xin's courtyard all night, it wasn't hard to guess what he was doing.
Yu Feilong couldn't hold back his anger and directly charged into Princess Xin's courtyard.
Fang Chen was recuperating in his room while Princess Xin was comprehending her fist technique in the courtyard.
"Yu Feilong, what are you doing here?"
Seeing Yu Feilong barge in, Princess Xin asked with an unkind expression.
"Where's Fang Chen?! Get him out here!" Yu Feilong roared.
Hearing this, Princess Xin's expression became even more unsightly.
"Scram!"
"Princess Xin, you insist on protecting Fang Chen," said Yu Feilong.
Princess Xin no longer spoke. Her expression was gloomy and her attitude was firm.
"Good, very good."
Yu Feilong was infuriated by Princess Xin's attitude.
He flung his sleeves and left.
That afternoon, a rumor began to spread throughout the Heavenly Mark Sect.
"What? Fang Chen has been in Princess Xin's courtyard for several days and hasn't returned at night."
"No wonder Princess Xin hasn't appeared for the past few days."
"What are they doing? Could it be that Princess Xin has fallen in love with Fang Chen?"
"What a scandal! How can a princess be so indecent?"
For a time, rumors and slanders about Princess Xin spread like wildfire.
Some of the higher-ups and Elders also noticed this matter.
Hearing these rumors, Fang Chen clenched his fists. He immediately wanted to charge out and settle the score with Yu Feilong.
But he was stopped by Princess Xin.
"You're heavily injured and haven't recovered yet. Don't go out," said Princess Xin.
Fang Chen looked at Princess Xin from a close distance and cried out.
"But this concerns your chastity. I can't tolerate it," said Fang Chen.
Princess Xin shook her head and indifferently said, "There's no need to pay attention to these rumors. Let them speak. I don't care."
