"Fang Chen, the five Martial Marquises that attacked the Sword Reverence Sect have extraordinary strength. We're not their match. We can't be impulsive," said Jian Feng.
Although they urgently wanted to take revenge for the Sword Reverence Sect, Jian Feng knew that the five Martial Marquises were all in the top thirty of the Martial Marquises ranking. With their current strength, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg.
"Senior apprentice-brother Jian Feng is right. Not only can we not take revenge, but we also can't let them know of our existence. Otherwise, they'll eliminate us completely."
The scarlet colour in Xia Houwu's eyes faded away, his bloodthirsty killing intent retracted, and the death qi dissipated. He nodded his head and said.
Fang Chen naturally knew that now wasn't the time for revenge. But he believed that it wouldn't be long before he could take revenge for the Sword Reverence Sect.
"What do you plan on doing now?" Fang Chen raised his head and looked at the two of them.
"Senior apprentice-brother Jian Feng and I are planning on hiding. We'll cultivate while looking for sect master Tian Jianzi," said Xiahou Wu.
"Yes. Before we have absolute confidence, we can't act blindly without thinking," warned Fang Chen.
"Fang Chen, where are you going?" asked Xiahou Wu.
"I'm going to the northern region first. Then I'll secretly investigate the truth behind the Sword Reverence Sect's destruction," said Fang Chen.
After asking around, Fang Chen learned that there had been a total of six people who had destroyed the Sword Reverence Sect. Of those, there were five Martial Marquises. But the most mysterious one was the black-robed man. If it weren't for that black-robed man, the Sword Reverence Sect wouldn't have been destroyed so quickly.
The outside world was guessing that black-robed man's true identity. But no matter how they guessed, they were unable to guess.
Fang Chen had a faint feeling that this matter had something to do with the Yellow Spring Sect. But he also didn't know who that black-robed man was.
So he had to go investigate.
"Be careful," said Xiahou Wu.
Soon after, Xiahou Wu and Jian Feng quickly disappeared from the Sword Continent City. Fang Chen looked at their disappearing figures and also left the Sword Continent City.
Fang Chen's disappearance from the Sword State City instantly spread throughout the entire Sword State City.
At this time, the Luo family branch was the most furious. However, Fang Chen had already left, so they did not dare to provoke him.
The happiest of all was naturally the Azure Sea Sect. The two great sects had been fighting for control of Jianzhou City. Now that the Luo Clan's branch had suffered a heavy blow, it was time for them to strike.
Within the Azure Sea Sect, in a large hall, the Sect Master of the Azure Sea Sect had a look of joy on his face. He said, "The Luo Family has lost a grandmaster. This is the best opportunity to attack the Luo Family's branches in all aspects."
"I'm going into closed-door training. The day I come out will be the day I step into the Condensing Reality Realm." Qing Hai Sect Master smiled.
As long as he could step into the Condensing Reality Realm, he wouldn't care about a small branch of the Luo family. At that time, the Azure Sea Martial School would be able to become one of the top nine two-star Sect, and become the real overlord of the Sword State City.
The other Sect in the central region didn't know about the chaos in Sword State City because the news hadn't spread.
At the same time, another piece of news that shocked all the warriors spread throughout the Golden Crown Nation.
In less than three days, the royal family of the Golden Crown Nation, together with the Luo Family and the other top nine two-star Sect, besieged the Iron Sword Sect, the Daluo Sect, and the Sea Cloud Sect.
Under the siege of so many powerful sects, the three top Sect couldn't resist at all. In less than three days, the three top two-star Sect were all destroyed.
Among the three top two-star Sect, the royal family of the Golden Crown Nation discovered the aura of the Yellow Spring Sect. Using this clue, they found the remnants of the Yellow Spring Sect and killed them all.
This battle shocked the entire Golden Crown Nation. At the same time, the royal family of the Golden Crown Nation announced that the remnants of the Yellow Spring Sect were the enemies of the entire Ancient Sword Continent. Everyone had the right to punish them. Anyone who was found to have cooperated with the remnants of the Yellow Spring Sect would be killed without mercy.
After this news spread, the whole Golden Crown Nation was looking for the remnants of the Yellow Spring Sect.
At this moment, in a very secluded and dangerous place in the Golden Crown Nation, it was pitch-black and surrounded by a gray fog.
If there was an expert here, he would definitely discover that the gray fog was actually an illusion formation. Moreover, it was an extremely powerful illusion formation.
In the illusion formation, there was a cave. This cave was filled with evil.
The evil aura contained many members of the Yellow Spring Sect.
The leader of the Yellow Spring Sect was a one-armed old man. There were several scars on his face and he looked fierce.
Suddenly, a member of the Yellow Spring Sect broke the silence in the cave and said in a low voice, "Lord Protector, the three top Sect have been annihilated. A few of our men have also died."
Bang!
The one-armed old man's fist slammed on the stone table in front of him. Instantly, the stone table shattered. It was obvious that he was furious.
"A bunch of trash. We've painstakingly planned for so many years, but they exposed us." The one-armed Protector said angrily.
The one-armed Protector had almost died in that great battle. One of his arms had been chopped off by a human expert. He had used the unique cultivation method of the Yellow Spring Sect to avoid the disaster. He had been in a deep sleep all these years. Not long ago, he had finally woken up.
Of course, he hadn't woken up by himself. He had been woken up by someone.
The person who had woken him up was also a Protector of the Yellow Spring Sect. However, this Protector's position in the Yellow Spring Sect was much higher than his. Moreover, his cultivation base was also higher than his.
Because his arm had been chopped off, his cultivation base had been crippled. This powerful Protector had done his best to heal him. In the end, his injuries had basically healed. Moreover, his cultivation base had also returned to the Third Level of the Condensing Reality Realm.
After that, this mysterious Protector had placed him in charge of everything in the Golden Crown Nation.
They had painstakingly planned and managed to control the three Two Star Sects with great difficulty. They had slowly infiltrated the Golden Crown Nation. However, this time, their identities had been exposed in the Divine Illusion Space.
As a result, the royal family of the Golden Crown Nation had allied with other Sects and completely destroyed the three Two Star Sects. Now, their people couldn't even move an inch in the Golden Crown Nation.
This had caused their plans to come to a standstill.
Thinking of the powerful Protector's orders, the one-armed Protector felt a wave of fear in his heart.
"For now, let's hide for a while."
The one-armed Protector muttered to himself for a moment. Then, he said, "That's right. Have you investigated how our identities were exposed in the Divine Illusion Space?"
"Lord Protector, it's said that a martial artist called Tie Niu suddenly appeared in the Divine Illusion Space. He didn't belong to any faction, but he was extremely powerful. He fought Tie Yun and the others by himself. They weren't his match, so their identities were exposed." A member of the Yellow Spring Sect said in a low voice.
"Then is there any news of Protector Wu Xuan?" The one-armed Protector asked in a low voice.
Several members of the Yellow Spring Sect shook their heads. No one had mentioned Protector Wu Xuan, so they didn't know.
"Tie Niu."
Softly muttering Tie Niu's name, the one-armed Protector's heart was filled with killing intent toward Tie Niu.
"Keep an eye out for this martial artist called Tie Niu. If you encounter him, immediately tell me," said the one-armed Protector.
Everyone in the Golden Crown Nation was searching for the remnants of the Yellow Spring Sect. As for Fang Chen, he was currently on his way to the north.
His goal this time was to kill the alchemy grandmaster Luo He.
The current Fang Chen's strength had increased by leaps and bounds, and he was comparable to a Martial Marquis expert. Killing Luo He would be far too easy. He wanted revenge.
Several days later, Fang Chen finally arrived in the north. After asking around, he discovered that Luo He had settled in the center of the north, within Mountain River City.
"Mountain River City?"
Fang Chen muttered to himself. Then, Fang Chen headed to Mountain River City.
Along the way, Fang Chen met many martial artists from the north. When Fang Chen had first entered the Golden Crown Nation, he had thought that the martial artists from the four great tribes were very strong. But now, it seemed that they were just so-so.
After a few twists and turns, Fang Chen arrived at Mountain River City.
Mountain River City was the core city of the north. It was very prosperous, and there were many large Sect s in it.
Fang Chen glanced at the bustling Mountain River City and entered it.
North, Mountain River City, Mystic Moon House.
Two martialists were sitting quietly in a pavilion. They were playing chess.
Around the pavilion was a pond. In the pond, there were countless little goldfish playing happily. This was the garden of the Mystic Moon Residence, and it was also the only garden of the Mystic Moon Residence.
Speaking of this garden, it was very famous in the north.
As an alchemy grandmaster, there were countless martial artists who came to ask Luo He to refine elixirs for them every day. Of course, Luo He would not do it personally.
The reason why this garden was famous was because any martial artist who was invited to enter Mystic Moon House would be personally received by Luo He, and they could even get Luo He to refine elixirs for them.
At this moment, in the pavilion, Luo He was being controlled by a white chess piece, while another martial artist was holding a black chess piece. The two of them were focused on playing chess.
After a while, the martial artist holding the black chess piece lost. He looked at Luo He with a face full of smiles.
"Brother Luo He, you really know how to enjoy life. This Mystic Moon House is really a good place to cultivate," the martial artist said.
This martial artist did not seem to be more than a hundred years old. His entire body was emitting pure spiritual energy. Facing this person, Luo He was very polite.
"Brother Hei He, to be praised by an expert on the Martial Marquis List is really an honor," Luo He said with a smile.
This person was at the bottom of the Martial Marquis List, the seventy-second ranked Martial Marquis, the Black River Martial Marquis.
The Black River Martial Marquis was a loose cultivator. Relying on his own efforts, he had successfully entered the Martial Marquis List when he was ninety years old. Although he was at the bottom, within the Golden Crown Nation, his position was extremely high.
The Black River Martial Marquis' relationship with Luo He was not shallow. The reason he had come to find Luo He was because he wanted Luo He to help him refine an elixir.
"Brother Luo He, you should already know why I've come," said the Black River Martial Marquis.
"Of course I know. Brother Hei He's matter is my matter. Within three days, I will definitely let brother Hei He see the elixir," Luo He solemnly vowed.
Hearing that, the Black River Martial Marquis smiled.
"Brother Luo He is straightforward. I owe you a favor. If you have any problems in the future, don't hesitate to tell me."
