According to Fang Chen's guess, Li Jinghong's strength was about the same as the Soaring Dragon Marquis'. He wasn't a threat to him, so he dared to follow Li Jinghong.
Li Jinghong's appearance shocked countless martialists on the square.
After Li Jinghong left, countless cultivators' eyes were filled with envy. Those three lucky fellows had actually caught Li Jinghong's eye. They were really lucky.
Especially the burly man who had a grudge with Fang Chen's group. At this moment, he was incomparably regretful. Why did he provoke those three in the first place?
Not long after, Li Jinghong brought the three of them to a secluded courtyard in Spirit Heart City.
"Sit."
Li Jinghong pointed at a few stone benches in the center of the courtyard and smiled.
Li Jinghong had just returned when a servant came out to pour tea. Fang Chen's group didn't hesitate and directly sat on the stone benches.
"Why have you called us here?" The Black Armor Marquis asked.
"No, I'm just looking for you." Li Jinghong said.
"Right now, there's an opportunity in front of you. If you're willing, you can obtain this opportunity."
"What opportunity?" The Black Armor Marquis asked.
"An opportunity to join a large Sect." Li Jinghong smiled mysteriously.
"What Sect?" The Black Armor Marquis continued to ask.
Li Jinghong shook his head slightly. He wasn't willing to say too much. He looked at the Black Armor Marquis and said, "There's still some distance from here to Leaning Water City. You need to leave Spirit Heart City alone and go to Leaning Water City. If you can reach the Condensing Reality Realm before you reach Leaning Water City, I'll appear at that time and you can join my Sect."
Hearing Li Jinghong's words, Fang Chen's eyes lit up. It seemed his guess was correct. Li Jinghong was a disciple of the Divine Statue Sect.
Could it be that Li Jinghong said this to recruit disciples for the Divine Statue Sect?
Li Jinghong didn't want to reveal which Sect he was in. He only told the Black Armor Marquis to go to the Luoshui City alone. Only those who reached the Condensing Reality Realm before reaching the Luoshui City could join Li Jinghong's Sect.
"The Sect that I'm in is considered one of the most powerful Sects in the entire Southern Mountain Range. If you rely on your own efforts, I'm afraid you won't be able to join it in your lifetime," Li Jinghong said.
"The reason why I was sent to Spirit Heart City was to complete a mission and recruit talented disciples to join the Sect," Li Jinghong said.
The Black Armor Marquis nodded and said, "Let me think about it."
Crash
A command token appeared in Li Jinghong's hand, and he passed it to the Black Armor Marquis and said, "This is my identity token. You can use this command token to look for me once you arrive at Leaning Water City."
After speaking, Li Jinghong disappeared and left. From beginning to end, he did not even glance at Fang Chen and the Soaring Dragon Marquis, directly ignoring the two of them.
"Me?"
The Black Armor Marquis still wanted to say something, but Li Jinghong had already left, leaving the Black Armor Marquis speechless.
The Black Armor Marquis turned to look at the Soaring Dragon Marquis and Fang Chen, and said, "It seems that Li Jinghong has not discovered the strength of the two of you."
"It doesn't matter. We're heading to Leaning Water City anyway. Once we arrive at Leaning Water City, we can join the Barren Sect." Fang Chen did not care about joining the Barren Sect.
"That's right. Our goal is Leaning Water City," the Soaring Dragon Marquis said.
Soon after, the three of them returned to the inn.
After resting for a day, the three of them bought a map of the Southern Mountain Range and prepared to head to Leaning Water City.
On this day, Fang Chen and the other two left Spiritual Heart City early in the morning and appeared outside Spiritual Heart City.
The Soaring Dragon Marquis looked around and said, "In the Southern Mountain Range, it's safe within the city. However, it's extremely dangerous outside the city. Let's leave quickly."
Soon after, the three of them quickly left Spiritual Heart City.
However, what the three of them did not know was that as soon as they walked out of Spiritual Heart City, they were targeted by some warriors.
"Third brother, three people came out. They seem to be young warriors." A one-eyed middle-aged man said to a warrior beside him.
"Three young warriors, how strong are they?" The warrior called second brother asked.
"They didn't fly, they just walked. They definitely haven't reached the Condensing Reality Realm. At most, they're at the 9th level of the Qi Hai Realm." The one-eyed middle-aged man said with a sinister smile.
"Three Qi Hai Realm warriors, get ready to attack." The second brother muttered to himself for a moment and said.
In the blink of an eye, the sun was high in the sky and the temperature in the air was extremely high. Fang Chen and the other two had already walked for an entire morning and were far away from Spiritual Heart City.
However, in this entire morning, the three of them did not encounter anything. This allowed the three of them to relax a lot.
"It seems that the wilderness is not as dangerous as they said." The Black Armor Marquis grinned.
"It's better to be careful." Fang Chen said in a low voice.
Just as Fang Chen finished his words, a sinister smile suddenly appeared from the darkness. Immediately after, more than ten warriors appeared in front of Fang Chen and the other two.
At this moment, Fang Chen and the other two were in a wasteland. There was no one within a hundred miles of them.
"Three little bastards, leave your treasures behind and I can spare your lives." A one-eyed middle-aged man looked at the three of them and sneered.
"That's right, you're lucky to have met us. We only want wealth, not lives." The second brother grinned.
Fang Chen and the other two saw these bandits and stopped. The Soaring Dragon Marquis took a step forward and looked at the bandits. He said coldly: "Hmph, if you want to steal our treasures, let's see if you have the ability."
Hearing the Soaring Dragon Marquis' words, the one-eyed middle-aged man was furious. His body flashed and appeared in front of the Soaring Dragon Marquis. He started to attack him fiercely.
Bang Bang Bang
As soon as they exchanged blows, the Soaring Dragon Marquis discovered that the one-eyed middle-aged man's strength was not as good as his own.
"You're courting death."
The Soaring Dragon Marquis displayed a fierce attack that was incomparably overbearing. After a fierce battle, he killed the one-eyed middle-aged man with a single punch.
"Third brother."
Seeing the one-eyed middle-aged man killed by the Soaring Dragon Marquis, the second brother did not have time to save him. He looked at the one-eyed middle-aged man lying on the ground, his face filled with anger.
"I will take revenge for my third brother. You all must die."
The second brother was furious. An extremely wild aura emerged from his body. In the next moment, a huge axe appeared above the second brother's head. This huge axe was filled with an extremely wild aura.
Dharma Idol, the Dharma Idol of a Condensing Reality Realm warrior.
Seeing the huge Dharma Idol axe above the bandits' heads, the Soaring Dragon Marquis frowned. At this moment, the Black Armor Marquis and Fang Chen also attacked.
"Attack together."
Fang Chen shouted and the three of them attacked together.
The three of them were at the peak of the Qi Hai realm. If they attacked together, even a martial artist at the first level of the Condensing Reality Realm would not be able to defeat them.
"Water and Fire Sword Technique."
Fang Chen displayed the eleventh level of the Water and Fire Sword Technique. The powerful sword body was activated and the sword intent of the third minor realm instantly gushed out.
Xiu
The second brother was attacking the Soaring Dragon Marquis when he suddenly suffered the attack of Fang Chen's sword light. His figure instantly retreated and the pressure on the Soaring Dragon Marquis decreased.
"Let's end this quickly."
After all, this was the bandits' territory. Once they were blocked by powerful bandits, they would be in danger.
"Go to hell."
The Black Armor Marquis activated all the power in his body and raised his defense to the extreme. He directly appeared in front of the second brother and blocked the second brother's attack.
Puchi
After being hit by the second brother, the Black Armor Marquis spat out a mouthful of blood. However, he endured it in the end and desperately blocked the second brother's attack.
Seeing this, Fang Chen and the Soaring Dragon Marquis simultaneously displayed a tyrannical and fierce attack, directly bombarding the second brother's body.
Crack!
One of the second brother's arms was cut off by Fang Chen's sword. He let out a miserable cry. At the same time, the other arm of the second brother was shattered by the Soaring Dragon Marquis' punch.
"I'll kill you all."
The second brother was extremely angry. He controlled the giant axe and attacked Fang Chen and the other two with all his might.
Sky Extinguishing Scripture of Wind and Cloud.
Fang Chen displayed the Sky Extinguishing Scripture of Wind and Cloud. At the same time, he also displayed the eleventh level of the Water and Fire Sword Technique. The Soaring Dragon Marquis also did the same. He used all his strength and displayed his most tyrannical attack.
Crack!
The three of them combined their attacks and directly shattered the second brother's giant axe.
Puchi!
The giant axe shattered and the second brother spat out a mouthful of blood. His aura was weak and his vitality was disappearing.
"I can't accept this."
The second brother would never have dreamed that he, a Condensing Reality Stage warrior, would be killed by three Qi Hai Stage warriors.
Crack!
The giant axe completely shattered and the second brother's body instantly fell to the ground.
"Let's go."
Fang Chen yelled in a low voice. The three of them instantly disappeared from the wasteland.
Not long after Fang Chen and the other two left, some bandits discovered that their leader had died. This news was then sent back to the bandits' territory.
The leader of the bandits' territory was a 2nd Condensing Reality Realm warrior. His name was Wu He. He was originally a disciple of a Sect. However, because he violated the sect's rules, he was expelled from the sect. He did not want to accept this, so he became a bandit.
His days here were very leisurely. All the warriors who passed by had to pay him a toll.
When Wu He heard that the second brother and the third brother had died, he was extremely angry. He immediately rushed to the scene of the battle. After seeing the injuries of the second brother and the third brother, his face became extremely serious.
"The one who killed the second brother was a Qi Hai Realm warrior." Wu He said with a gloomy voice.
This was because he could only smell the aura of the second brother's Dharma Idol in the air. There was no aura of other Dharma Idols. In other words, the one who killed the second brother was either a powerful Condensing Reality Realm warrior who did not even release his Dharma Idol.
There was another possibility, which was that it was a group of top Qi Hai Realm warriors.
After analyzing the situation, Wu He believed that the one who killed the second brother was a Qi Hai Realm warrior. He saw that the second brother's body was covered with wounds. It seemed like the battle was very intense.
If it was a powerful Condensing Reality Realm warrior, he would not even need to release his Dharma Idol. He could have easily killed the second brother with a single attack.
"Search with all your might." Wu He said with a gloomy voice.
Right at this moment, a human shadow rushed in front of Wu He. If Fang Chen was here, he would definitely recognize that person.
