Sacred Cloud Marquis
He was ranked sixty-eighth on the Martial Marquis list. His strength was extremely tyrannical. His appearance once more caused an uproar in Sword Continent City.
At the beginning, the appearance of Heavenly River Marquis had already caused the entire Sword Continent City to go crazy. They hadn't expected another Sacred Cloud Marquis to appear.
Normally, not a single Martial Marquis could be seen in Sword Continent City. But now, two Martial Marquises had appeared at the same time. And both of them had come because of a cultivator called Fang Chen. That caused many powers to be endlessly shocked.
With the appearance of a Martial Marquis, the situation was no longer something the various powers of Sword Continent City could control.
Seeing Sacred Cloud Marquis appear, everyone was both happy and worried. The happy one was Gu Zong. His eyes were full of smiles. With Sacred Cloud Marquis here, he wouldn't need to fear Luo He and the others.
The worried one was Luo He. Sacred Cloud Marquis's ranking on the Martial Marquis list wasn't much different from Heavenly River Marquis. Their strength was equal. With Sacred Cloud Marquis present, Heavenly River Marquis wouldn't be able to do anything.
"Damnit!"
Looking at Marquis Shengyun, Luo He cursed in her heart.
Heavenly River Marquis' expression was incomparably gloomy. He had originally thought that this matter would be resolved, but he hadn't expected Sacred Cloud Marquis to appear. It seemed this matter wasn't as simple as he had imagined.
"Sacred Cloud Marquis, you've also come." Heavenly River Marquis smiled.
Although Heavenly River Marquis' relationship with Luo He wasn't bad, he wouldn't offend Sacred Cloud Marquis because of Luo He.
"If I hadn't come, wouldn't Gu Zong have been bullied by you?" asked Sacred Cloud Marquis.
Sacred Cloud Marquis turned to Gu Zong and said, "Gu Zong, you messaged me that your disciple was in trouble and told me to rush to Sword Continent City. Who is your disciple?"
At the beginning, Sacred Cloud Marquis and Gu Zong didn't know each other. But later on, Sacred Cloud Marquis had asked Gu Zong to refine a weapon for him. Because of that, the two of them had formed a deep friendship.
This time, Sacred Cloud Marquis had immediately rushed to Sword Continent City upon hearing that Gu Zong was in trouble. that was enough to see Gu Zong's position in his heart.
He, the Saint Cloud Martial Marquis, naturally wanted to take a look at the disciples of the ancient sects.
Before Gu Zong could say anything, Fang Chen took a step forward and cupped his hands at the Marquis of Shengyun. "Junior Fang Chen greets Senior Marquis of Shengyun."
Marquis Shengyun carefully sized up Fang Chen and didn't find anything special about him. However, since he was a disciple of an ancient sect, he couldn't say anything.
"Gu Zong, tell me the whole story," Marquis Sheng Yun said. Since he was here, he had to settle this matter thoroughly.
"Alright."
Gu Zong started to speak, and Fang Chen would add on from time to time.
After a while, Marquis Sheng Yun had already understood the whole story. His eyes turned and he looked at Luo He. "Luo He, your disciple was in the wrong first. He repeatedly tried to kill Fang Chen and was killed by Fang Chen. He deserved it."
When he heard that Fang Chen had killed Luo Xuan with a cultivation at the third level of the Qi Hai realm, Marquis Sheng Yun's heart was filled with shock. It seemed that this disciple of Gu Zong wasn't simple.
"Hmph, although Xuan 'er wanted to kill him, isn't he still alive and well?" Luo He coldly said.
"Marquis Sheng Yun, this person killed Luo Xuan. We want to take revenge. Could it be that you want to stop us?" Luo Hanshan said.
Hearing Luo Hanshan's words, Fang Chen's expression gradually became gloomy. If it wasn't for Luo Hanshan, then today's scene wouldn't have happened.
It could be said that the cause of all this was Luo Hanshan.
"Luo Hanshan, you still have the face to say such words?" Fang Chen's voice was extremely loud. Many of the cultivators around the sword range heard it.
"At that time, if it wasn't for you and Luo Xuan working together to humiliate me, then I wouldn't have become enemies with you."
Fang Chen continued. "When I escaped from your hands, you felt humiliated. So you did everything you could to kill me. Seeing that I had entered the sword range's inner area, you sent Luo Xuan to deal with me. Unfortunately, Luo Xuan wasn't my match."
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Luo Hanshan was incomparably furious.
"You!"
Luo Hanshan was incomparably furious. Luo He was also infuriated. But the other side had Marquis Sheng Yun, so they didn't dare act rashly.
Marquis Tianhe pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's drop this matter here."
Since Marquis Tianhe had spoken, Luo He and Luo Hanshan had no choice but to swallow their anger.
"Hmph, I want to see just how long they can protect you." Luo He thought to herself.
Marquis Tianhe gave Marquis Sheng Yun face, so the latter naturally gave him face as well. In a short moment, the two Marquises had settled this matter.
"Tianhe, see you another day."
After speaking, Marquis Sheng Yun brought Gu Zong and Fang Chen away from the sword range's outer area.
Seeing Fang Chen's departing figure, Luo He was incomparably furious.
"Marquis Tianhe, could it be that this matter will end here? I refuse to accept it." Luo He coldly said.
"Luo He, with Marquis Sheng Yun here, even if we didn't stop, it would be of no use. We wouldn't be able to kill that brat, and we would even offend Marquis Sheng Yun." Marquis Tianhe faintly said.
"Marquis Sheng Yun can't protect him forever. After we leave, you can find time to kill him easily." Marquis Tianhe continued.
Hearing this, Luo He and Luo Hanshan's expressions finally eased up.
After Marquis Sheng Yun brought Gu Zong and Fang Chen away, they appeared in an inn in Jianzhou City. The three of them sat by the window and drank.
"Sheng Yun, this time it's all thanks to you." Gu Zong grinned.
"Gu Zong, don't give me that. Your matter is my matter. This is just a small matter."
Marquis Sheng Yun continued, "However, Fang Chen, you have to be careful. Luo He and Luo Hanshan definitely won't let this matter go."
Fang Chen nodded. His pitch-black eyes were filled with incomparably dense killing intent. He icily said, "In the future, when I'm strong enough, I'll definitely kill Luo He and Luo Hanshan."
"As expected of the disciple my Gu Zong has chosen. You have guts." Gu Zong laughed heartily.
The three of them continued to drink and chat.
At a certain moment, the three of them suddenly started talking about weapons. Suddenly, the Sacred Cloud Marquis said, "Gu Zong, there's a crack on my weapon after I fought with someone last time. Do you have any way to help me fix it?"
"Yes, a crack appeared on your weapon." Gu Zong was a bit speechless.
Marquis Sheng Yun's weapon was extremely powerful. If he wanted to repair it, even Gu Zong would find it very difficult. But since Marquis Sheng Yun had asked, Gu Zong would naturally help.
"If you want to repair your weapon, you'll need an abnormally hard heavenly treasure," said Gu Zong.
Hearing that, Marquis Sheng Yun frowned slightly. He also didn't know what kind of abnormally hard heavenly treasure was.
Just at this moment, Fang Chen suddenly said, "I don't know if the Meteoric Metal counts as an abnormally hard heavenly treasure."
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Gu Zong's eyes brightened. "Of course it counts. The Meteoric Metal counts as a high level heavenly treasure. As long as you have enough heavenly treasures, not only can Sheng Yun's weapon be repaired, it can even increase its grade by a level."
"But where can you find a priceless treasure like the Meteoric Metal?" Marquis Sheng Yun's eyes flickered and he bitterly smiled.
"How big do you need?" asked Fang Chen softly.
"At the very least, it needs to be the size of a fist," said Gu Zong.
In the next moment, Fang Chen's thoughts moved and a fist-sized Meteoric Metal appeared in his palm. "Is this enough?"
Seeing the Meteoric Metal in Fang Chen's hand, Gu Zong and Marquis Sheng Yun were filled with shock.
That was Meteoric Metal. Even Marquis Sheng Yun might not necessarily be able to find it. But in front of them, Fang Chen actually had a fist-sized Meteoric Metal in his hand.
"This is …"
Gu Zong and Marquis Sheng Yun were filled with excited smiles.
"Fang Chen, how did you get the Meteoric Metal?" Marquis Sheng Yun hastily asked.
"I obtained it by chance." Fang Chen smiled and explained.
Just a moment ago, when Fang Chen was asking, he had the Little Mouse use its teeth to bite off a piece of Meteoric Metal. This time, Marquis Sheng Yun had helped him greatly. This bit of Meteoric Metal was nothing.
"Fang Chen, Meteoric Metal is too precious. If you're willing to take it out for me to use, I can't thank you enough. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask," said Marquis Sheng Yun.
He wasn't a procrastinator and naturally wouldn't decline.
"Fang Chen, Sheng Yun's family's wealth is very deep. You have to take advantage of this opportunity to properly rip him off." Gu Zong smiled faintly.
Fang Chen thought for a moment and then said, "I wonder if senior Marquis Sheng Yun has any secret techniques for cultivating the soul?"
Marquis Sheng Yun laughed heartily. "Fang Chen, I just happen to have a secret technique for cultivating the soul. It's nothing to me. If you want it, I'll give it to you."
After that, Marquis Sheng Yun handed over a yellowed book to Fang Chen. Fang Chen put it into his interspatial ring.
Marquis Sheng Yun gave the Meteoric Metal Fang Chen gave him to Gu Zong so that Gu Zong could help repair his weapon. At this moment, Fang Chen took out another piece of Meteoric Metal and gave it to Gu Zong.
"Master, this is your disciple's way of showing respect to you." Fang Chen said.
Gu Zong laughed heartily. "As expected of my disciple."
"Gu Zong, it seems you've taken in a pretty good disciple." Marquis Sheng Yun smiled.
For Fang Chen to be able to casually take out two pieces of Meteoric Metal, Marquis Sheng Yun felt that Fang Chen wasn't simple. At the very least, he wasn't an ordinary person.
In the end, Gu Zong agreed to help Marquis Sheng Yun repair his weapon in Jianzhou City. After thinking about it, Fang Chen prepared to bring Gu Zong and Marquis Sheng Yun to the Sword Sect.
Only in the Sword Sect would he not be disturbed by outsiders and his master could repair his weapon in peace.
After Fang Chen announced his decision, Gu Zong and Marquis Sheng Yun nodded heavily. "Alright, let's go to the Sword Sect."
