The Southern Mountain Range's Lan family was an overlord-class power. Within the Southern Mountain Range, it was considered a peak power.
The three of them originally thought that Fang Chen would be afraid when they mentioned the Lan family's identity. But they thought too much. From the start, Fang Chen wasn't afraid at all.
Hearing the blue-clothed man's voice, Fang Chen raised his head and said, "What does the Lan family have to do with me? Why should I give the Lan family face?"
Fang Chen was very unhappy. He had saved the three of them for the water spirit essence. He didn't expect that after the crisis was resolved, the three of them would use the Lan family's identity to pressure him and make him retreat.
"Brat, you …" One of the men was furious.
But he was stopped by the blue-clothed man. He was well aware of Fang Chen's strength. Even if the three of them joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for Fang Chen.
Now that Fang Chen wanted the water spirit essence, it seemed that the three of them wouldn't be able to keep it.
"Brother, is there really no room for discussion?" asked the blue-clothed man.
"Either hand over the water spirit essence or die. You choose," said Fang Chen.
The blue-clothed man also knew that Fang Chen was angry. He didn't dare to say anything and directly handed over the water spirit essence. Bringing the other two cultivators with him, they quickly left the mountain range.
Before leaving, the blue-clothed man viciously looked at Fang Chen.
Fang Chen ignored the three of them. Looking at the milky white ball of light in his hand, his face was filled with an excited smile.
The water spirit essence was a treasure. After swallowing it, it could raise one's water concept.
"I wonder if it can help my water concept reach the second minor realm," said Fang Chen.
After that, Fang Chen sat down cross-legged and swallowed the water spirit essence.
An hour later, Fang Chen had completely absorbed the water spirit essence. At this time, Fang Chen was surrounded by an extremely dense water concept.
Hiss!
When Fang Chen had completely absorbed the water spirit essence, Fang Chen sensed that his water concept had already reached the peak of the first minor realm. He was only one step away from reaching the second minor realm.
"Just a little bit more."
Fang Chen said softly. He thought that he could reach the second minor realm with the help of the Water Spirit Essence, but it seemed that it was still a little difficult.
Fang Chen slowly stood up. At this moment, a thought flashed through his mind. He said, "The three of them found the Water Spirit Essence in the depths of this mountain range. Could it be that there is some kind of treasure in the depths of this mountain range?"
Under normal circumstances, a place that could nurture Water Spirit Essence would definitely have an extremely dense Water Concept.
If he could find such a place, Fang Chen's Concept of Water might be able to reach the second minor realm.
After that, Fang Chen identified a direction and quickly moved forward.
Six hours later, Fang Chen arrived at the depths of the mountain range. Along the way, he encountered many powerful demonic beasts. However, with his current strength, it was very easy to deal with them.
After reaching the depths of the mountain range, Fang Chen discovered that there was a large lake here. Around the lake, there were countless trees.
"This lake is so quiet."
Fang Chen thought to himself. There was not a single demonic beast around the lake. It seemed that these demonic beasts were very afraid of this lake.
Just as Fang Chen was thinking, his eyes suddenly flickered. This was because in the middle of the lake, there was a milky white ball of light floating up.
"Water Spirit Essence."
Fang Chen did not expect that there would be Water Spirit Essence in this lake.
Hua La
With a tap of his feet, Fang Chen appeared directly above the lake.
His palm suddenly stretched out and grabbed the Water Spirit Essence. At this moment, Fang Chen felt a powerful aura coming from the lake.
Whoosh!
Fang Chen landed on the shore and stared at the lake. In the next moment, Fang Chen felt an evil aura.
"Hmm, the aura of the Yellow Spring Sect."
Fang Chen was startled. Soon after, he discovered that in the middle of the lake, there was a dark figure. This dark figure was obviously a remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect.
"There's actually a human!"
The moment the remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect appeared, his figure flashed and he launched a fierce attack, wanting to kill Fang Chen.
Whoosh!
Fang Chen's Star Concealing Sword instantly swung out, directly piercing into the body of the remaining Acheron Sect member.
With a bang, the remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect fell to the ground, barely breathing.
At this time, Fang Chen saw that this remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect was only a captain. His cultivation was at the peak of the Qi Transformation Realm.
"Speak. Are there any other remnants of the Yellow Spring Sect here?" Fang Chen asked coldly.
After a round of questioning, Fang Chen learned that at the bottom of the lake, besides the captains of the Yellow Spring Sect, there was also a sleeping hall master.
"I didn't expect this to be a secret stronghold of the Yellow Spring Sect," Fang Chen said inwardly.
After that, Fang Chen learned that the reason why the remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect chose this lake as their stronghold was because there was a hidden treasure of the Yellow Spring Sect hidden under the lake. Within the treasure, there was a powerful inheritance of the Yellow Spring Sect.
"I can't let them get the inheritance," Fang Chen said inwardly.
Fang Chen knew the dangers of the Yellow Spring Sect, so no matter what, he couldn't let them open the treasure.
Fang Chen even thought that the sleeping hall master might be waiting for the day the treasure was opened. Once the treasure was opened, the sleeping hall master might wake up.
Puchi
After Fang Chen killed the captain, he absorbed the Water Spirit Essence. In an instant, his Water Concept reached the second minor realm.
"The second minor realm."
Fang Chen was very excited. With his water concept reaching the second minor realm, he could definitely fight against a warrior at the peak of the seventh level of the Qi Hai Realm.
After doing all this, Fang Chen dived into the lake.
After entering the lake, Fang Chen felt a strong suction force. After a while, Fang Chen was sucked into the depths of the lake by this suction force.
After an hour, Fang Chen reached the bottom of the lake.
At the bottom of the lake, there was a huge bronze coffin. More than ten captains of the Yellow Spring Sect surrounded the bronze coffin. On top of the bronze coffin, the hall master of the Yellow Spring Sect sat cross-legged.
"It seems that this bronze coffin is the treasure they were talking about," Fang Chen said softly.
"Who is it?"
At this moment, Fang Chen was discovered by the remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect. One of the captains shouted loudly. Immediately, more than ten captains noticed Fang Chen.
"Damn it, a human came in. Kill him without mercy."
One of the captains shouted. Immediately, more than ten captains attacked, wanting to kill Fang Chen.
But in front of Fang Chen, they were not even worth mentioning. Fang Chen used his secret soul technique, the Great Luo Soul Killing Flame. Wherever the fire dragon passed, captains of the Yellow Spring Sect would die.
"Ah!"
"Damn it, this human warrior is too strong. We are not his match." As soon as they exchanged blows, they discovered Fang Chen's strength.
"Puchi"
In the blink of an eye, half of the captains of the Yellow Spring Sect were dead. The remaining half hid behind the bronze coffin.
Huala
At this moment, the hall master of the Yellow Spring Sect suddenly opened his eyes on the bronze coffin.
"Human, you dare to kill a member of the Yellow Spring Sect?" The hall master said coldly.
When the hall master spoke, his eyes flickered. Fang Chen noticed it. Fang Chen concluded that the hall master must be seriously injured and unable to move. Otherwise, he would have attacked long ago.
"The remnants of the Yellow Spring Sect should be killed by everyone," said Fang Chen.
"Back then, any human who dared to speak like this in front of me would have long since been slapped to death by me," said the hall master.
"Unfortunately, you're heavily injured and can't leave the bronze coffin," laughed Fang Chen.
"You!"
Now that Fang Chen knew he was injured, the hall master's expression changed. In the end, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Fang Chen. "Brat, although I'm heavily injured, I'm still more than enough to deal with you."
"However, I think that we might be able to avoid a major battle," the Yellow Spring Sect's Hall Master said.
"Oh." Fang Chen sneered.
"How about we make a deal?" The hall master looked at Fang Chen.
"What deal?"
"A deal."
The Hall Master of the Acheron Sect was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly waved his hand. Instantly, a tyrannical palm print blasted out and struck Fang Chen's body.
BANG!
Fang Chen was forced back several steps. He gloomily looked at the hall master on the bronze coffin.
"H-how can your physical body be so strong?!"
The hall master's expression changed. Just now, he had spoken to Fang Chen in order to confuse Fang Chen. He wanted to catch him off guard and injure Fang Chen in one move.
However, Fang Chen's physical body had exceeded his expectations.
