Darkness shrouded the land. Mystic Dragon City gradually quieted down as everyone entered a state of sleep.
Fang Chen, who had just walked to a hidden corner of the street, was about to secretly look for the scholar when he was stopped by a group of men in black. Their auras were extremely ferocious.
"What?
You want to leave? Have you asked for our permission? "
The leader of the men in black held a three-foot-long sword in his hand. Red light flowed around the sword, and at the tip of the sword, there was a Genesis Qi radiance like the moon. He pointed it at Fang Chen.
"Who are you?" Fang Chen asked without batting an eyelid.
"Does it matter who we are?"
The leader of the black-clothed men sneered, "Take out everything you have on you, and we'll leave your corpse intact. Otherwise …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Fang Chen made the first move.
Buzz!
The surrounding space was instantly enveloped by a terrifying domain. When the men in black reacted, they had already fallen into a quagmire. Their movements were slow, and they were unable to track Fang Chen's movements.
"What domain is this?"
The leader of the black-clothed men sucked in a breath of cold air. The order they received was only to stop Fang Chen. The real trump card was the person who would arrive soon.
But now, they were in danger.
Puchi!
Using his finger as a sword, every time he pointed, a man in black would fall to the ground. No one could block the sword light.
"Not good."
The leader of the black-robed men felt death approaching. He shouted, "Attack the domain together!"
As long as they broke the domain, the battle here would attract many experts. This guy had offended many people at the Mystic Dragon Auction. There would definitely be people who coveted his belongings.
Boom boom boom!
However, Fang Chen struck first and gained the upper hand. He simply did not give them any chance at all. The leader of the black-clothed men looked on helplessly as his companions fell into pools of blood one after another. Yet, he was powerless to do anything.
No!
When he met Fang Chen's eyes, he could feel the latter's fear. He shouted with all his might, but it was useless. The finger light streaked across the sky, bringing with it the aura of death.
He struggled with all his might, but he could not break free from the domain.
"No, I don't want to die."
He howled in rage, hoping for a miracle to happen. However, that terrifying finger light actually stopped when it reached his throat.
Hmm?
The black-clothed man thought that he would die for sure, but all of a sudden, everything around him calmed down. He looked down and discovered that the sword light was no longer advancing. He had temporarily saved his life.
"Who sent you?" Fang Chen asked.
"I can't betray Master …"
However, before he could finish speaking, he let out a miserable cry. One of his ears was directly cut off, and blood sprayed out.
"I don't want to ask a second time," Fang Chen continued.
Just as the black-clothed man was hesitating, his other ear was also cut off. He was in so much pain that his whole body trembled, and he almost fainted.
"I'll count to three." Fang Chen began counting.
"Wait a minute."
Finally, the man in black felt fear and began to compromise. "If I tell you, will you let me go?"
"You have no right to negotiate with me," Fang Chen said impatiently.
"But …"
"Ah!"
Another miserable cry came from the black-clothed man. He felt that his neck was bleeding. The sword light had already cut into it. If Lin Fan used a little more force, his head would fall to the ground.
His body trembled, and he was extremely frightened.
"The Reverent King sent me," the black-clothed man screamed.
He was afraid that Fang Chen did not know, so he added that the Reverent King was the owner of VIP room number three.
"Puchi!"
The sword light cut through the black-clothed man's neck. His head fell to the ground, lifeless.
"You want to kill me, and you want me to let you go?" Fang Chen said coldly. At the same time, he remembered the Reverent King in his heart.
Before coming to Mystic Dragon City, Fang Chen had learned about the Great Snow Mountain. It had many subordinate forces, and one of them was the Dragoncliff Empire.
The Reverent King was known as the strongest person in the Dragoncliff Empire.
However, he was too conceited. He thought that he could kill Fang Chen by sending his subordinates. Who would have thought that they would all be killed, and his identity was exposed?
When he made this decision, the outcome was already decided.
However, Fang Chen had more important things to do now, and did not have time to care about him.
"Hiss!"
When the domain dissipated, Fang Chen silently disappeared into the darkness. Only the black-clothed corpse on the ground indicated that a battle had taken place in this hidden street corner.
"Huff!"
Not long after, the Reverent King rushed over. When he saw the corpse on the ground, his face turned pale.
"How is this possible?"
The Reverent King said in a low voice. "Is this guy so strong?"
After the auction, he went to do something more important. When he sensed the black-clothed man's death, he rushed over as fast as he could. However, he was still too late.
"Hmph, I want to see how long he can run."
The Reverent King said coldly. At the same time, he sent a message to the Dragoncliff Empire, ordering them to send a large army to seal off the nearby territory.
In an independent courtyard behind a restaurant.
The scholar was secretly discussing with Gong Tianhou about how to find Fang Chen.
"Alright, that's it. I'll go back first. We'll start our operation tomorrow." The scholar said.
Soon after, he returned to his study.
Then, he took out his communication jade pendant and reported the situation at the auction to the Taixuan Hierophant.
The Taixuan Hierophant immediately ordered the scholar not to act rashly. After all, the Fifth Elder of the Great Snow Mountain, the Heavenly Demon Rat King, and other experts were all watching. With the scholar's strength, it was impossible for him to deal with them.
Of course, the Taixuan Hierophant also asked the scholar to keep a close eye on the situation and find an opportunity to act.
"Huff!"
The scholar was very happy to receive the support of the Taixuan Hierophant. This could be considered as making up for his mistakes. If he succeeded, he would be able to inherit the mantle of the Taixuan Hierophant and become the next Hierophant candidate.
"Buzz!"
However, just as he was feeling happy, the study was sealed off. He jumped up and saw Fang Chen's figure appear out of thin air.
"It's you?"
The scholar opened his eyes wide and stared at Fang Chen. "You still dare to appear?"
He had searched high and low for him, only to find him by chance. He did not expect him to come knocking on his door.
Fang Chen did not say anything. He took out the killing order of the Great Snow Mountain and asked, "What is this?"
Seeing the killing order, the scholar was overjoyed. He said, "Give me this token. Otherwise, you will die."
"Why did you use the killing order of the Great Snow Mountain to exchange for Gong Tianhou?" Fang Chen asked. This was what he was puzzled about.
Why was the scholar so sure that he would agree to the exchange?
Why was he not afraid that he would recognize the killing order and not dare to exchange?
He had to investigate all these mysteries.
The scholar cursed in his heart. If he had not recklessly used the killing order to exchange for Gong Tianhou, he would not have been punished by the Taixuan Hierophant. He would not have dared to snatch the killing order back before the experts of the Great Snow Mountain arrived.
