After successfully rescuing Banxianshu, Fang Chen eventually left the Devil's Mountain Range. As for Banxianshu, he stayed in the Devil's Mountain Range. This was the place where the blood-red Devil's Vine took root. It was obviously not an ordinary place. Banxianshu also wanted to take root here and absorb the energy in the earth.
It would take a long time to evolve into an Immortal Tree. Banxianshu was working hard.
When Fang Chen saw this, he only reminded Banxianshu to be careful. Then, he left the Devil's Mountain Range alone.
Banxianshu was very safe in the Devil's Mountain Range. Even if an ordinary ancient martial art practitioner discovered the Devil's Mountain Range, it would be very difficult to break through the various barriers and enter the deepest part.
After Fang Chen left the Devil's Mountain Range, he walked quickly in the wilderness.
A day later, he came to a dilapidated city.
In this city, there were countless geniuses. Their auras were incomparably vigorous. They were basically all ancient martial art practitioners at the second level of the Spirit Vortex Realm and above.
Fang Chen could not help but sigh. In the Bloody Battle Space, all the young geniuses of the Five Elements Province were gathered. He could meet them anywhere.
After entering the city, Fang Chen did not care. He casually walked to an open space and sat down cross-legged, preparing to rest.
At this moment, Fang Chen suddenly heard the conversation of a few ancient martial art practitioners around him.
"Have you heard? During this time, in the entire Bloody Battle Space, countless experts on the Hidden Dragon Roll are looking for Fang Chen."
"I wonder where that guy called Fang Chen is hiding."
"He must be hiding and does not dare to come out. Zhu Hai and Luo Zhongtian said at the same time that they want to capture and kill him. They don't need to do anything. Their subordinates will kill Fang Chen."
"Yeah, now most of the experts on the Hidden Dragon Roll are looking for Fang Chen. They all want to bring Fang Chen's head to curry favor with Zhu Hai and Luo Zhongtian."
Hearing the discussion of these people, a terrifying golden light shot out from Fang Chen's eyes. He then continued to listen.
"Zhu Hai and Luo Zhongtian want to kill me," Fang Chen muttered to himself.
At that moment, the words of these martialists enraged Fang Chen instantly.
"Recently, I heard a piece of news. It is said that Su Yu, who is ranked 20th on the Hidden Dragon List, is a genius under Zhu Hai's command. His strength is exceptional, and he is already on the move."
"Oh, Su Yu is on the move," another martial artist said.
"Don't you know? I came from a city up ahead yesterday. I heard that Su Yu captured a woman. It's said that this woman is related to Fang Chen," the martial artist said.
"Could it be that he wants to use this woman to make Fang Chen submit?" asked the cultivator who had asked the question earlier.
The martial artist nodded and said, "Fang Chen hasn't shown himself yet, so Su Yu is getting a little anxious."
When he heard these words, Fang Chen clenched his fists tightly, and the sound of his bones cracking could be heard. When the surrounding martial artists saw this, they all turned their heads to look at Fang Chen.
However, they merely took a glance at him. The reason for that was because they simply did not know who he was.
Fang Chen stood up abruptly and walked quickly to the side of these martial artists. He immediately asked in a low voice, "Where is Su Yu?"
"Who are you?"
Hearing Fang Chen's tone, a skinny martial artist was a little displeased. He stood up directly and said coldly.
"Where is Su Yu?" Fang Chen continued to ask.
"Lad, do you want to die? How dare you speak so fiercely to us?" The skinny martial artist's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness as he spoke in a low voice.
"Get lost!"
Fang Chen bellowed and sent the martial artist flying with a punch.
Seeing this, the faces of the other martial artists changed greatly. To be able to send the skinny martial artist flying with a punch, this martial artist's strength was too strong, and they couldn't resist him.
"Brother, if you have something to say, let's talk it out," the bloated fatty said to Fang Chen with a beaming smile.
"Where is Su Yu?" Fang Chen asked coldly. His words gave people an unquestionable feeling.
"Su Yu is in a city not far from here," the plump fatty said hurriedly.
When Fang Chen heard this, he turned and left the dilapidated city, leaving behind the shocked martial artists.
Suddenly, a miserable scream woke them up from their shock.
The person who let out the miserable scream was the skinny martial artist who had been sent flying. He shouted, "Why didn't you guys help me?"
Hearing this, the plump fatty shook his head slightly and said, "You are lucky, lad. The martial artist just now was very strong. If he wanted to kill us, none of us would be able to escape."
"Who is he?" the skinny martial artist asked in surprise.
"He has been asking about Su Yu's whereabouts. If my guess is correct, he should be the Fang Chen that Su Yu is looking for," the plump fatty said in a low voice as he looked at Fang Chen's departing figure.
"He is Fang Chen!" the skinny martial artist cried out involuntarily when he heard this.
He actually dared to provoke a martial artist who could split a priest in half with a sword. Thinking of this, the skinny martial artist felt his heart palpitate.
Fortunately, Fang Chen didn't stoop to their level.
In a slightly intact city, there was a spacious martial arts practice platform. The edges of the platform had been worn away, and it was obvious that it had existed for a long time.
This martial arts practice platform should be the place where some of the genius martial artists of this city fought in the past.
There were many geniuses in this city, and the reason they came here was because Su Yu was here.
On the dilapidated martial arts practice platform, there was a man in black clothes. His face was slightly cold, and beside him was a cross made of wood.
On the cross, a beautiful woman was tied up tightly with a rope.
Li Mingzhu was the strongest martial artist of the younger generation of Kaiyang City's Li family. She was also one of the three great goddesses of Kaiyang City.
Even though Li Mingzhu was tied up, her whole body emitted a thick cold aura. Her beautiful face was filled with coldness, without a trace of fear.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with disdain, as if she looked down on Su Yu's methods.
"I heard that you have a good relationship with Fang Chen. I wonder if he will appear if I tie you up," Su Yu said in a low voice as he looked at Li Mingzhu playfully.
Li Mingzhu was too beautiful, so much so that Su Yu couldn't bear to destroy her.
Li Mingzhu's eyes were cold as she said disdainfully, "Using such methods to deal with Fang Chen, you have already lost."
Hearing the name Fang Chen, Su Yu's face instantly turned cold as he said, "Hmph, you better pray that Fang Chen will appear. Otherwise, I will strip you naked and let all the martial artists in the city see what exactly is under your clothes."
After saying this, Su Yu no longer paid any attention to Li Mingzhu. With a flash of his body, he leaped onto a stone pillar at the edge of the martial arts practice platform. He sat down cross-legged and waited for Fang Chen to arrive.
The news had already spread for a few days, but Fang Chen still hadn't appeared. Su Yu's patience was slowly wearing thin.
"If you still don't appear in three days, don't blame me for what happens next," Su Yu said coldly as he looked into the distance.
Su Yu's words instantly spread throughout the entire city, then quickly spread out.
Su Yu believed that as long as Fang Chen was still in the Blood Battle Space, he would definitely hear the news.
At that moment, among the crowd in the city, there was a woman in purple clothes. She wore a bamboo hat on her head, which completely covered her beautiful face.
She was mixed in the crowd, trying to rescue Li Mingzhu.
She was Li Xiaoke.
After learning that her sister had been kidnapped by Su Yu, she was very anxious and quickly came to the city.
Seeing that her sister was safe and sound, she was finally relieved.
Li Xiaoke wasn't stupid. She knew that if she acted rashly, she would definitely be captured by Su Yu. Hence, she couldn't act rashly. She was waiting for Fang Chen's arrival.
As long as Fang Chen arrived, all her problems would be solved.
"Sister, you have to hold on," Li Xiaoke said anxiously.
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
During these two days, there was still no news about Fang Chen. On the contrary, the news of Li Mingzhu's kidnapping had spread like wildfire.
Many martial artists heard the news and came. Of course, there were also many martial artists who were looking for their own opportunities and didn't have the time to come. They were also not interested in the news.
Just before the third day, a genius of the Hidden Dragon List came to the city.
"Young Master Su."
When the person saw Su Yu, he cupped his hands and greeted him.
Su Yu slowly opened his eyes and nodded. The person who had come was Sha He, who was ranked thirty-first on the Hidden Dragon List.
Sha He had a good relationship with Su Yu. When he heard that Su Yu was looking for Fang Chen, he specially came to tell Su Yu about Fang Chen.
"Young Master Su, I know a little about Fang Chen," Sha He said.
"Oh, tell me about it," Su Yu said.
"A few months ago, we met at the Shattered Plains. Then, we entered the old site of the Water God Faction together. After that, he disappeared," Sha He said.
"The old site of the Water God Faction," Su Yu muttered to himself.
"Young Master Su, this person is not worth your time. Let me help you deal with this person," Sha He said with a laugh.
Su Yu nodded and didn't say anything.
Sha He's figure flashed and stood on the martial arts practice stage.
In the crowd, Li Xiaoke, who was wearing a bamboo hat, secretly said, "Lackey."
That's right. In the eyes of many people, Sha He was Su Yu's lackey. Even so, they didn't dare say anything.
"There is still one day left. If Fang Chen doesn't appear, she will be subjected to the cruelest humiliation," Sha He looked around and shouted loudly.
Now, Sha He was Su Yu's representative.
Su Yu also silently agreed with this point.
He was a strong martial artist ranked twentieth on the Hidden Dragon List. There were some things that he didn't need to do personally.
When the three-day deadline arrived, Li Xiaoke, who was in the crowd, couldn't help but want to attack.
Sha He's eyes glowed with coldness. He was ready to attack Li Mingzhu.
However, at that instant, a voice was heard in the city.
"Sha He, why do you have to attack a woman?"
Hearing the voice, everyone looked over, thinking that it was Fang Chen who had arrived. In the end, it wasn't him.
The person who had come was Fan Xinjue, ranked thirtieth on the Hidden Dragon List. Before entering the old site of the Water God Faction, he had some dealings with Fang Chen.
Fan Xinjue had also heard that Su Yu had used such vicious means to force Fang Chen to appear. Hence, he had come to try to persuade Su Yu to let the woman go.
No matter what, there was no need to involve a woman in a battle between men.
