In the following days, Fang Chen had been cultivating the Fire Devil Sword Technique.
However, ever since he lost the bet, Zhou Hongda would often come looking for trouble.
At first, he would come every other day, but gradually, he would come several times a day.
Every time Fang Chen was cultivating, he would be interrupted by Zhou Hongda.
This situation made Fang Chen extremely angry.
"Fang Chen, you bastard. If you don't hand over my five hundred thousand low-grade divine spiritual stones, I will harass you every day." Zhou Hongda stood at the entrance of Fang Chen's courtyard and sneered.
In the courtyard, Fang Chen suddenly stood up, a trace of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"Hmph, don't forget that this is the Zhou Clan, not a place for you to behave atrociously," Zhou Hongda said.
Fang Chen walked towards Zhou Hongda step by step. The anger on his face gradually disappeared and was replaced by a sinister smile.
"Idiot, if I were you, I wouldn't do such a boring thing," Fang Chen said.
"Fang Chen, don't play this game. If you don't give me the low-grade divine spiritual stones, I will never let you off," Zhou Hongda said angrily.
Of course, asking for the low-grade divine spiritual stones was one of the reasons. The other reason was to delay Fang Chen's cultivation.
"Do you think I don't dare to touch you?" Fang Chen asked.
"Do you dare?"
"Zhou Hongda."
Just as Fang Chen and Zhou Hongda were confronting each other, Zhou Fa appeared.
Zhou Fa's aura was completely different from before.
Not long after his seclusion, he had broken through to the Everlasting Realm.
Moreover, he had reached the Second Level Everlasting Realm, and his combat strength was comparable to a Third Level Everlasting Realm cultivator.
Zhou Fa's breakthrough caused the Zhou Clan to become lively.
Many elders, including the patriarch, were very happy.
They seemed to see the hope of the Zhou Clan's rise.
In their eyes, Zhou Fa's potential was not inferior to Zhou Feiyang, who was ranked first on the Ancient List.
Zhou Fa exuded a cold aura as he walked in front of Zhou Hongda.
"Zhou Hongda, as a disciple of the Zhou family, do you not find it shameful to do such a thing?" said Zhou Fa coldly.
"Zhou Fa, just take care of yourself. What qualifications do you have to talk about me?" Zhou Hongda said.
Boom
A vast aura instantly erupted from Zhou Fa's body.
Seeing this, Zhou Hongda could not help but take a few steps back.
His eyes widened as he looked at Zhou Fa. "You, you broke through!"
He knew better than anyone what Zhou Fa's breakthrough meant.
At this moment, he had the thought of retreating.
"Why haven't you scrammed yet?" Zhou Fa said with an ashen face.
She didn't like Zhou Hongda at all.
When the latter heard this, he glared at Fang Chen and turned to leave.
"Brother Fang, are you okay?" Zhou Fa asked.
Fang Chen shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
"The reason why Zhou Hongda came to find trouble with you is most likely because he wants to disturb your cultivation so that you won't be able to enter the Ancient Ranking for the next three months," Zhou Fa said.
"Unable to enter the Ancient List within three months."
"Brother Fang, I was just about to tell you about this matter.
Although my father and I did our best to keep you here, the Elders strongly opposed it. In the end, my father made a concession. If you can't enter the Ancient List within three months, there's nothing he can do. "
After hearing Zhou Fa's words, Fang Chen's face gradually darkened.
If that was really the case, then Zhou Hongda's intentions were truly vicious.
"With Zhou Hongda's courage, he definitely wouldn't dare do something like this.
There should be someone behind him who wants to deal with me. "Fang Chen was wise and had thought of many things.
"No matter what, I believe in Brother Fang." Zhou Fa had a lot of trust in Fang Chen.
"Brother Fang, you should cultivate as quickly as possible so that you can enter the Ancient List as soon as possible."
"The Ancient List?"
Fang Chen raised his head and looked at the sky.
Zhou Fa's exit from seclusion had caused a sensation in the Zhou family.
However, Fang Chen also received a piece of news.
The Fang family's Mission Hall had issued a five star mission.
The Fang family hadn't issued a five star mission for a long time. It attracted the attention of many disciples and they all rushed to the Mission Hall.
"Brother Fang, let's go to the Mission Hall."
Zhou Fa found Fang Chen and hurriedly said.
A five star mission represented the most dangerous mission in the Eternal Realm.
Zhou Fa was also very curious about what this mission was.
"Let's go." Fang Chen said.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the Mission Hall.
The place was already overcrowded. Many disciples were looking at the words on the mission board.
"The five star mission is here."
Fang Chen followed the gaze and landed on the mission board.
All the missions issued by the Mission Hall were on the mission board.
The missions marked with one star represented a one-star mission. This was the simplest mission, and at the same time, it was also the mission with the lowest reward.
There were many missions on the mission board, but most of them were two or three stars.
There were also very few four star missions.
At the bottom of the mission board, there was a mission with five stars.
This mission was incomparably dazzling.
"An unknown creature has appeared in the Cold Sky Ore Vein.
Its strength is estimated to be at the high level of the Eternal Realm. The mission requirement is to kill it. "
This was the entire content of the five star mission.
The Cold Sky Ore Vein was one of the Zhou family's ore veins.
"A high level Eternal Realm unknown creature is actually issued as a five star mission? What's going on?" Zhou Fa was somewhat puzzled.
This mission was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
At this moment, Fang Chen accepted the mission in front of everyone's eyes.
"What, is this kid crazy? With his strength, accepting a five star mission will definitely kill him."
"Hmph, if he wants to die, no one can stop him."
"This time he's dead for sure."
In the crowd, Zhou Hongda coldly watched all of this with a mocking smile on his face.
Accepting a five star mission was a road to death.
Even the geniuses on the Ancient List didn't dare to casually accept a five star mission.
"Where's the five star mission?"
Just a moment after Fang Chen accepted the five star mission, several figures walked over.
The appearance of these people caused a sensation in the Mission Hall.
Because they were all in the top ten of the Ancient List.
"Look, it's the top ten of the Ancient List."
"Heavens, even the fifth on the Ancient List, Zhou Chen, is here."
"Look, the fourth on the Ancient List, Zhou Fengyang, is also here. Could it be that he also wants to accept a five star mission?"
With Zhou Fengyang and Zhou Chen in the lead, several disciples in the top ten of the Ancient List arrived in front of the mission board.
However, they discovered that the five star mission had already been accepted.
"Who accepted the five star mission?" asked Zhou Chen.
"Could it be Brother Feiyang and the others?" asked Zhou Fengyang.
"Brother Chen, it's this reckless brat who accepted it."
Someone in the crowd shouted.
Immediately, Zhou Chen, Zhou Fengyang, and the others' gazes fell on Fang Chen.
"You accepted a five star mission." Zhou Chen walked over.
Fang Chen nodded. "Is there a problem?"
"Your name is Fang Chen. It was Zhou Fa who brought you back.
Cancel the mission. Accepting this mission is suicide, "said Zhou Fengyang indifferently.
He had a lofty appearance, as if he didn't care about anything.
"Yes." Fang Chen frowned slightly.
At this moment, the ninth on the Ancient List, Zhou Tongyu, opened his mouth.
"Brother Chen and Brother Fengyang want to accept this mission. Can you let him go?" Zhou Tongyu was very tactful.
However, Fang Chen didn't even think about it. He directly refused.
"Do you know the consequences of refusing us?" asked Zhou Chen.
Within the Zhou family's younger generation, other than a few peak heavenly geniuses, no one dared to disobey them.
But this reckless outsider actually dared to refuse them.
"I, Zhou Fengyang, am interested in a five star mission," said Zhou Fengyang.
There was a trace of threat in his words.
Seeing this, Fang Chen shook his head.
"You!"
Zhou Chen was just about to explode in anger when a bell-like voice rang out.
It was obvious that the only female disciple in the top five on the Ancient List, Zhou Xixuan, had arrived.
Zhou Xixuan was dressed in white. She looked like an otherworldly fairy.
She was in the prime of her youth and had a beautiful figure. As soon as she appeared, she attracted everyone's attention.
"It's Zhou Xixuan," whispered people in the crowd.
Zhou Xixuan had a charming smile on her face.
She gracefully walked over to Fang Chen's side.
She blinked and looked at Zhou Fengyang's group of three.
"No matter what, you're still in the top ten of the Ancient List. How can you bully a newcomer?"
"Xixuan, we're not bullying him." Zhou Tongyu awkwardly smiled.
"This brat overestimated himself. He accepted a five star mission. We're saving him," said Zhou Chen.
Zhou Fengyang also said, "Xixuan, could it be that you're also interested in this five star mission?"
