If he didn't investigate, he wouldn't have known.
Three days later, the detailed information regarding Fang Chen was sent back to the Bloodshed Tower. After Elder Blood finished reading the detailed information, he was infuriated.
"Damn it!"
The information about Fang Chen that was recorded by Bloodshed Tower was from two months ago. Two months later, Fang Chen's strength was comparable to the eighth level of the Qi Hai realm. More importantly, Fang Chen had become the Heaven Sword Son of the Reverence Sword Sect.
The Heaven Sword Son of the Reverence Sword Sect. If Elder Xue had known about Fang Chen's identity, he wouldn't have agreed to Luo He's request so easily.
On this day, Elder Xue called Luo He over.
"How come the mission was completed?" Luo He saw Elder Xue and asked directly.
Elder Xue's face turned ugly as he said in a deep voice: "The mission failed."
"En, how could it fail? Who did you send to carry out the mission?" Luo He frowned and asked.
"Gu Lang, he died at the hands of Fang Chen." Elder Xue said.
Luo He was shocked. She had heard of Gu Lang's name before. He had reached the eighth level of the Qi Hai realm and was very powerful.
"How is that possible? How can Fang Chen be so strong?" Luo He asked in confusion.
"Not only that, we received the latest news that Fang Chen has become the Heaven Sword Son of the Reverence Sword Sect. You should know what this means." Elder Xue looked at Luo He and said.
"Heaven Sword Son."
Hearing these words, Luo He's face was filled with shock.
Fang Chen had actually become the Heaven Sword Son of the Reverence Sword Sect. His face was extremely gloomy. If it was before, it would be easier to kill Fang Chen. But with the identity of the Heaven Sword Son, even Bloodshed Tower had to be wary of him.
The Heaven Sword Son of the Reverence Sword Sect was a candidate for the next Sect Leader. He was the only candidate. If he killed Fang Chen, the Reverence Sword Sect would be furious. Even Bloodshed Tower wouldn't be willing to face the wrath of a Two Star Sect.
Therefore, Elder Xue had called Luo He over to discuss this matter again.
"In such a short period of time, his strength has actually improved to such an extent. If I allow him to grow, it won't be long before his strength reaches my level. At that time, he will definitely come looking for trouble with me. I must get rid of him." Luo He thought to herself.
"You know what happened. If you still insist on killing Fang Chen, you'll have to pay one million Upper Tier Spirit Stones," Elder Xue said.
If it was a normal disciple at the eighth level of Qi Hai, they would only be able to get one or two hundred thousand Upper Rank Soul Stones. But Fang Chen was different, he was the Heaven Sword Son of the Sword Sect.
Even so, it was likely that only the Bloodshed Tower dared to accept this mission in the north.
"One million high-grade spirit stones!"
Hearing this, Luo He frowned slightly. This price had exceeded his expectations. However, after pondering for a moment, he finally agreed to Elder Xue's request.
"Alright, one million high-grade spirit stones. This time, you must kill Fang Chen." Luo He took out one million high-grade spirit stones and said.
Even as an Alchemy Grandmaster, one million high-grade spirit stones was not a small sum to him. But in order to kill Fang Chen, he could only reluctantly give it up.
"This time, I will send an assassin at the ninth level of Qi Hai." Elder Xue said coldly.
The second assassin sent by Elder Xue was a ninth level Qi Hai assassin, codenamed Tian Gang.
Within the Sword Sect, Fang Chen had been searching for clues for a few days. In the end, he set his target on Luo Hanshan.
"Maybe it's an assassin sent by Luo Hanshan." Fang Chen thought.
However, inside the Sword Reverence Sect, Fang Chen wasn't afraid.
The opening of the Divine Illusion Dimension was getting closer and closer. All the disciples of the Sword Sect were working hard in their cultivation.
On the other hand, Fang Chen was walking leisurely. His cultivation had reached a bottleneck and he was unable to break through for the time being. Thus, he decided to stop cultivating.
On a certain night, Fang Chen had just left Jian Wufeng's residence and was preparing to return home.
The sky was very dark. Even the moon was not visible. Fang Chen quickly rushed back to his residence and passed by the square in a short while.
Just as Fang Chen passed by the square, a dark figure suddenly appeared in a dark corner. In the darkness, it was impossible to see this figure.
Fang Chen continued walking forward. Tian Gang, who was in the dark, concealed his aura and jumped behind Fang Chen. At this moment, Fang Chen felt something and stopped walking. But after finding nothing, he continued walking.
Boom!
Just as Fang Chen was walking forward, a wild aura suddenly came from behind him.
"En."
Fang Chen was shocked. He took out the Hidden Star Sword and displayed the seventh level of the Fire and Water Sword Arts. At the same time, Fang Chen's Three Star Dao Body was activated to the extreme. A layer of light appeared on the surface of his skin.
The moment Fang Chen turned around, a blinding light lit up the entire sky. A metal hook appeared in Tian Gang's hand. This metal hook was a Spirit Weapon and was very powerful.
Tian Gang instantly released the power of a Ninth Level Qi Hai warrior. He wanted to kill Fang Chen with one strike and then quickly retreat.
Bang
The Hidden Star Sword and the metal hook collided. Fang Chen's body was instantly sent flying. In the process of flying, Fang Chen vomited blood and his face was pale.
"Ninth Level Qi Hai Realm."
After a short exchange, Fang Chen was shocked to find that his opponent was a Ninth Level Qi Hai Realm warrior. He could not block his opponent's attack at all.
"Damn it!"
Fang Chen tried his best to stabilize his body. He wanted to escape, but Tian Gang did not give him the chance. His body flashed and the metal hook in his hand pierced into Fang Chen's back. Immediately, Fang Chen's back was badly mutilated and blood flowed out.
The majestic Qi alerted the higher ups of the Reverence Sword Sect. Jian Wufeng and Tian Jianzi rushed to the square immediately.
Ah
A miserable cry came out from Fang Chen's mouth. He was severely injured by Tian Gang's metal hook. It was very dangerous.
"No!"
Fang Chen shouted and waved the Hidden Star Sword in his hand. He used the last of his strength to display the seventh level of the Fire and Water Sword Arts and forced Tian Gang to retreat.
Bang
Fang Chen fell to the ground and fainted. His back was bleeding profusely.
Just as Tiangang was about to step forward and kill Fang Chen, a furious roar suddenly rang out from afar.
"Thief."
Tian Gang's expression changed. He knew the higher ups of the Reverence Sword Sect had come.
"Run!"
Tian Gang's figure flickered and disappeared into the darkness. At this time, Tian Jianzi appeared in the square.
"Damn it!"
Tian Jianzi was infuriated. He clenched his fist and punched at the darkness. A thunderous sound rang out.
Tian Jianzi glanced over and saw the assassin had already fled.
"Fang Chen!"
Tian Jianzi originally wanted to chase after the assassin, but seeing Fang Chen unconscious, he was worried and directly carried Fang Chen.
"How is Fang Chen?" Jian Wufeng also rushed over and asked anxiously.
"Someone tried to assassinate Fang Chen. I heavily injured them and they fled," said Tian Jianzi.
"Take care of Fang Chen. I'll chase after them," said Jian Wufeng.
At this time, Tian Gang's body appeared in a hidden place in the Reverence Sword Peak. He was coughing up blood and his face was pale.
"A Condensing Reality Realm warrior is too powerful." Tian Gang endured the pain and disappeared into the darkness.
Just now, Tian Jianzi was so angry that he threw a punch into the air and landed on Tian Gang's body, which was enough to injure Tian Gang. If they were to fight face to face, Tian Gang would be instantly killed by a Condensing Reality Realm warrior. This was the difference between the Qi Hai Realm and the Condensing Reality Realm.
The news of Fang Chen's assassination was sealed by the higher ups of the Reverence Sword Sect. Apart from a few higher ups, no one else knew about it.
Jian Wufeng chased after the assassin without success and returned to the Reverence Sword Sect.
At this time, in a room in the Reverence Sword Sect, Fang Chen was quietly lying on a bed. The bleeding on his back had stopped, but one could still see the flesh and blood that had spilled out. It was extremely horrifying.
Fang Chen was unconscious and his aura was weak. In the room, several elders were standing.
"Senior brother, how is Fang Chen?" asked Jian Wufeng.
"His life is not in danger, but his injuries are quite serious. He needs to rest for a while," said Tian Jianzi.
"Who is it that wants to assassinate our Reverence Sword Sect's Tian Jianzi?" One of the elders said in a deep voice.
Fang Chen was the Tian Jianzi of the Reverence Sword Sect. Someone who wanted to assassinate Fang Chen was going against the entire Reverence Sword Sect.
"This assassin was at the ninth level of the Qi Hai Realm. Unfortunately, we did not kill him. Otherwise, we would know who wanted to kill Fang Chen," said Tian Jianzi.
At that time, Fang Chen was in a critical situation. He could only choose to save Fang Chen first.
North, Bloodshed Tower, Elder Xue's room.
Elder Xue's face was extremely gloomy. Tian Gang had sent back a message saying that he had failed the mission and was severely injured.
To fail a mission twice in a row, it was a great shame for the Bloodshed Tower.
"Even Tian Gang failed." Elder Xue said coldly.
Tian Gang's failure made Elder Xue have to reevaluate Fang Chen. Logically, with Tian Gang's strength, even if it was a frontal attack, he should have been able to kill Fang Chen before Tian Jianzi arrived.
According to Tian Gang's analysis, Fang Chen's strength was much stronger than a normal eighth level Qi Hai Realm warrior. Otherwise, he would not have been able to last until Tian Jianzi arrived.
