After receiving the news from the Fang family, Fang Chen hastily stopped cultivating and hurried back to the Fang family.
Black Cloud City's Fang family. The atmosphere in the Fang family's mansion was extremely strange.
When Fang Chen returned to the Fang Family Mansion, nobody actually came out to welcome him. Fang Chen did not say a word and directly went to his father Fang Tianyu's residence.
He saw many members of the Fang family standing in his father's courtyard. Among them were his eldest uncle, second uncle, and others.
"Fang Chen, you're back!"
Fang Sheng was the first to notice Fang Chen's return.
When everyone heard this, they all turned to look at Fang Chen.
"Fang Chen, you're back."
Patriarch Fang Tianshan's expression was grave when he saw Fang Chen return.
"Where's my father?"
Asked Fang Chen.
Everyone involuntarily opened up a path. Fang Chen quickly walked into the room. He instantly saw a pale and extremely weak middle-aged man lying on the bed.
"Father, what's wrong?" Fang Chen's face was filled with worry when he saw his father's current state.
Seeing Fang Chen return, Fang Tianyu wanted to sit up, but his body was too weak. He was unable to support his body.
"Chen 'er, you're back," said Fang Tianyu weakly.
Fang Chen walked to his father's window and held his father's hand. Seeing his father's weak appearance, Fang Chen was furious.
"Father, what's going on?" asked Fang Chen in a heavy voice.
At this moment, Fang Tianshan walked in. His expression was gloomy. He said in a low voice, "Fang Chen, three days ago, your father went out to discuss business. Unexpectedly, he encountered mountain bandits. They injured your father."
"Horse Gang in the mountains?" Fang Chen asked in a deep voice, puzzled.
"That's right. The Horse Gang in the mountains have never dared to go against our Fang family. I don't know what happened this time, but the leader of the Horse Gang actually threatened to kill us every time he met our Fang family members. The few Fang family members that your father brought out all died tragically. Only your father came back with serious injuries, but …" Fang Tianshan said.
Fang Chen put his finger on his father's wrist and felt his father's pulse. His face changed instantly.
"Damned bandits! They actually beat father up like this," Fang Chen said coldly.
"Chen 'er, I'm fine." Fang Tianyu coughed a few times. He held Fang Chen's hand and said weakly.
"Your father's internal organs are damaged, and all his bones are shattered. If he isn't treated in time, his life might be in danger. That's why we called you back."
Fang Tianshan couldn't say anything else.
Although the Fang family was considered a powerful force in Black Cloud City, they were helpless against Fang Tianyu's injuries.
This was because many kinds of Spiritual Herbs and Spiritual Pills were needed to save Fang Tianyu.
"Father, your injuries are very serious. You need Spiritual Herbs and Spiritual Pills to prolong your life."
Fang Chen thought for a moment, then took out some Spiritual Herbs and Spiritual Pills from his Space Ring.
The sudden appearance of Spiritual Pills and Spiritual Herbs caused Fang Tianshan's face to be filled with shock.
"This is the Flower of Life, the Sun Flower, the Fire Herb, and the Condensing Soul Pill."
When Fang Tianshan saw the Spiritual Herbs and Spiritual Pills clearly, his heart was in turmoil. Even the Fang family couldn't take out so many Spiritual Herbs and Pills at once.
"Chen 'er …"
Fang Tianshan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Fang Chen.
"Uncle, how strong is the leader of the Horse Gang?" Fang Chen asked.
"The leader of the Horse Gang is about the Third Tier of the Qi Transformation Realm. He's much stronger than your father," Fang Tianshan said.
Fang Chen nodded, then stood up and said to his uncle, "Uncle, take care of my father for now. He's taken these Spiritual Herbs and Pills, so his life isn't in danger for now. But if he wants to completely heal his injuries, he'll need a very unique Spiritual Herb. I'll go look for it now."
"Chen 'er, where are you going to look for the Spiritual Herb?" Fang Tianyu asked.
"Black Cloud Mountain."
Fang Chen said, then turned and left.
When Fang Chen came out of the room, the younger generation of the Fang family gathered in front of Fang Chen.
"Chen 'er, no matter what you do, we'll be with you," said Fang Sheng, who was the leader of the younger generation.
"Nonsense." Seeing this, Fang Chen's second uncle scolded coldly.
"I'm going to look for the Spiritual Herb for my father," Fang Chen said, then left the Fang family mansion without waiting for his second uncle's reply.
Black Cloud Mountain was located in a wasteland outside of Black Cloud City. Black Cloud Mountain stretched endlessly, and was larger than the average mountain range.
Horse gangs often appeared in Black Cloud Mountain. In the beginning, there were many horse gangs, and they were very powerful. But as time passed, a horse gang called Black Dragon appeared in Black Cloud Mountain.
The strength of this mounted bandit was very strong. Relying on his own strength and his group of brothers, he gradually made a name for himself in the Black Cloud Mountain.
In the end, Black Dragon successfully unified Black Cloud Mountain and became the strongest horse gang in the mountain, as well as the only horse gang.
Normally, these horse gangs often appeared on the official road outside of Black Cloud City, robbing weak people or ordinary people.
They never dared to provoke the Fang and Ye families of Black Cloud City.
But not long ago, Black Dragon led the horse gangs to attack Fang Tianyu, almost causing Fang Tianyu to lose his life. This incident was highly regarded by the Fang family.
Fang Chen went to Black Cloud Mountain this time to look for the healing Spiritual Herb, Saint Herb, for his father, and to avenge his father.
The leader of the horse gangs of Black Cloud Mountain, Black Dragon, was only a martial artist in the Third Realm of the Qi Transformation Realm. With two powerful puppets, Fang Chen was not afraid of the horse gangs of Black Cloud Mountain at all.
When Fang Chen appeared at the foot of Black Cloud Mountain, his face was full of murderous intent. In the next moment, he stepped into Black Cloud Mountain.
In Black Cloud Mountain, the mountain range stretched endlessly. Ordinary people would not be able to find the stronghold of the horse gangs in a short time.
Fang Chen was skilled and bold, so he directly entered the core.
Just like that, Fang Chen searched for three days in Black Cloud Mountain, but he did not find any trace of the horse gangs.
However, on the fourth day, Fang Chen actually found the Saint Herb.
In the depths of Black Cloud Mountain, on a hill, there were two stalks of Saint Herb. The white leaves bloomed, and Fang Chen was overjoyed.
"It's the Saint Herb."
Fang Chen said in a low voice. He then hurried towards the Saint Herb.
At this moment, there were suddenly two sounds in the distance, and then two figures appeared at the foot of the hill.
"Boy, the Saint Herb is ours. Don't touch it," one of the figures said in a low voice.
"I found the Saint Herb first, so they are mine."
After saying that, Fang Chen waved his hand, and the two stalks of Saint Herb were all stored in the space ring.
Seeing this scene, the two figures' faces were filled with anger. One of them roared loudly, "Brat, how dare you steal from our Black Dragon Bandit Group in the Black Cloud Mountain. Are you tired of living?"
"That's right. You should have asked around. How dare you pull a tooth from the tiger's mouth? You're courting death," the other bandit said.
Originally, Fang Chen did not intend to take action, but when he heard the Black Dragon Bandit Gang, a strange smile appeared on his face.
"You're horse gangs?" Fang Chen asked.
"Boy, are you afraid now? It's too late," one of the bandits said.
"Boy, hand over the Saint Herb and we'll leave you with a whole body," the other bandit said.
"Your leader is the Black Dragon?" Fang Chen continued to ask.
"You talk too much. Boy, are you going to hand it over or not?" One of the bandits was a little impatient and said coldly.
"What if I don't hand it over?" Fang Chen sneered and said disdainfully.
"Then you can go to hell."
Hearing this, the two bandits' faces changed, and they roared angrily. At the same time, they launched powerful attacks, trying to kill Fang Chen.
"You're courting death."
Fang Chen snorted and a cold light flashed in front of him. The next moment, a cold light pierced into the body of one of the bandits.
The bandit's eyes were wide open, and his face was full of unwillingness. Finally, his body fell to the ground uncontrollably.
At this moment, the other bandit who was attacking suddenly felt fear and wanted to escape.
"Stop."
Fang Chen shouted in a low voice, frightening the bandit.
"Young master, please spare my life. Please spare my life," the bandit knelt on the ground and said in horror.
"Take me to your nest," Fang Chen ordered.
"Alright, I'll bring you there now." The mounted gangster was terrified. He slowly stood up and brought Fang Chen towards the mounted gangster's lair.
Along the way, they passed through some very complicated roads and finally approached the nest.
"The Black Dragon really knows how to choose a place."
Fang Chen said faintly. If it was him alone, it would be impossible for him to find the horse bandits' lair. However, it was different now.
"Sir, the nest is in front of us," the bandit said in a trembling voice.
"You can die now," Fang Chen said coldly. In the next moment, the bandit was killed.
After doing all this, Fang Chen's figure flashed and appeared in the open space outside the bandit castle.
At this moment, the bandit on the castle noticed Fang Chen.
"Who are you? Stop!" The bandit on the castle shouted coldly.
"I'm the one who will kill you."
Fang Chen shouted in a low voice. Immediately, his figure flashed and quickly approached the castle. At the same time, he performed the Mercury Sword Technique.
Puchi
In a single exchange, the mounted gangster guarding the castle was instantly killed by Fang Chen.
"Enemy attack!"
However, just before the bandit died, he hysterically shouted out these words.
After hearing the words "enemy attack", the whole castle was in an uproar.
"Enemy attack! Who dares to break into our castle?"
Countless shouts could be heard. A large number of bandits rushed towards the castle gate.
"Damn it! Where did this bastard come from? How dare he come to the Black Dragon Bandit Gang! He's courting death!"
At this moment, a bandit captain appeared. He held a broadsword and led a large number of bandits to the castle gate.
