They had no idea that the current Wind Swordsman was no longer the righteous Wind Swordsman of the past.
He had been demonized and had completely become a remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect.
"Hahaha!"
The Wind Swordsman's eyes were filled with a sinister aura as he laughed wildly.
Just at this moment, his communication jade pendant vibrated. He picked it up and listened to it.
"Hmm, there's news of that kid," the Wind Swordsman muttered to himself after hearing the message from the jade pendant.
The Wind Swordsman's eyes flickered as he sent a message, "Search with all your might and guard every exit."
With that, the Wind Swordsman looked at the martial artists in the inn again. An evil aura surged around him as he began his massacre.
After a quarter of an hour, the Wind Swordsman walked out of the inn and smashed it with a punch. He then set fire to the inn and destroyed the corpses.
Looking at the raging fire in the inn, the Wind Swordsman's eyes were filled with extreme killing intent.
Then, he entered the mountain range.
The Wind Swordsman had already informed the other members of the Yellow Spring Sect to guard every exit of the mountain range. Fang Chen had nowhere to run.
The Golden Core was something that the Spiritual Pupil Monarch wanted. He had to bring it back.
Therefore, for the Golden Core, he was fearless even if he had to kill hundreds of Spiritual Spiral Realm experts.
"The Golden Core, I must get it," the Wind Swordsman said to himself.
Fang Chen did not know how long he had been walking in the mountain range.
In these few days, Fang Chen could clearly see that there were some remnants of the Yellow Spring Sect in the mountain range. They seemed to be looking for him.
"I must leave this place as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the remnants of the Yellow Spring Sect surround this place, I will not be able to escape," Fang Chen said to himself.
Then, Fang Chen released the Little Mouse and let it lead the way while he followed behind the Little Mouse.
The Little Mouse could smell the scent of the Yellow Spring Sect. Once there were remnants of the Yellow Spring Sect ahead, it would lead Fang Chen to a detour.
Although the number of Yellow Springs Sect survivors had increased, Fang Chen was able to advance with ease.
A day later, Fang Chen finally sensed that he had reached the end of the mountain range.
As long as he left the mountain range, he would be able to quickly reach the Iron Blood Empire.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Fang Chen tapped the ground with his toes and directly leaped onto a towering ancient tree. Standing here, he could see everything outside the mountain range.
Outside the mountain range was a barren plain.
However, Fang Chen discovered that there were some cultivators standing guard outside the mountain range. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that these cultivators were all remnants of Yellow Spring Sect in disguise.
"On the Barren Plains, there are a total of seven survivors of the Yellow Spring Sect. Six of them are at the fourth level of the Spiritual Whirlpool Realm and one is at the fifth level of the Spiritual Whirlpool Realm," Fang Chen said to himself.
The fourth level Spiritual Whirlpool Realm survivor of the Yellow Spring Sect posed no threat to Fang Chen. What Fang Chen was concerned about was the fifth level Spiritual Whirlpool Realm survivor of the Yellow Spring Sect.
If it was a one-on-one fight, he was confident that he could escape safely from the fifth level Spiritual Whirlpool Realm survivor of the Yellow Spring Sect. However, there were six fourth level Spiritual Whirlpool Realm survivors of the Yellow Spring Sect beside him.
"Think of a way to lure them in and kill them one by one," Fang Chen said in a low voice.
Then, Fang Chen purposely released a bit of his aura and instantly attracted the attention of the seven survivors of the Yellow Spring Sect.
"Someone is approaching," the fifth level Spiritual Whirlpool Realm cultivator said solemnly with a change in expression.
Hearing this, the other six survivors of the Yellow Spring Sect went into battle mode and waited for the cultivator to appear.
However, after waiting for a while, they realized that there was no movement at all.
"There's no one. Boss, did you sense wrongly?" someone said.
"Yeah, if there was someone, he would have appeared," another survivor of the Yellow Spring Sect said.
The sixth level Spiritual Whirlpool Realm survivor of the Yellow Spring Sect had a gloomy expression as he stared into the mountain range and said, "I can vaguely feel the presence of this person. He is nearby."
"Boss, what should we do?"
"You two, go in and take a look," the sixth level Spiritual Whirlpool Realm cultivator said.
The two fourth level Spiritual Whirlpool Realm cultivators entered the mountain range to search for the human cultivator.
After a while, two screams were heard. The two fourth level Spiritual Whirlpool Realm cultivators were killed instantly.
The fifth level Spiritual Whirlpool Realm cultivator heard the screams and immediately flew into the mountain range. Unfortunately, he was too late. He only found two corpses and no human cultivator.
"Damn it!"
The fifth level Spiritual Whirlpool Realm survivor of the Yellow Spring Sect returned to the barren plains and said, "This human cultivator must be the one who took the Gold Core. All of you, follow me in and search for him."
With that, the fifth level Spiritual Whirlpool Realm survivor of the Yellow Spring Sect led the way and entered the mountain range.
Fang Chen hid in a towering ancient tree, ready to escape at any time.
However, he couldn't find the opportunity.
"Once I make a move, I will definitely be entangled. When the Swordsman in the Wind arrives, it will be troublesome," Fang Chen thought to himself.
At that instant, a strange aura was emitted toward Fang Chen all of a sudden. Without hesitation, the latter leaped out of the desolate plain with a tap of his foot.
It turned out that the fifth level Spiritual Whirlpool Realm survivor of the Yellow Spring Sect had already discovered Fang Chen and was prepared to launch a sneak attack on Fang Chen. However, he failed.
"Damn human, hand over the Gold Core."
Fang Chen was instantly surrounded by a few Yellow Spring Sect survivors. The leader of the Yellow Spring Sect survivors said coldly.
"I have already eaten the Gold Core," Fang Chen said.
"You are courting death."
The Gold Core was something that the Spiritual Pupils Monarch wanted, but it was eaten by this brat. The leader was furious and immediately launched a fierce attack on Fang Chen.
Whoosh!
Fang Chen also used the Fire Element Indestructible Sword Art and activated his strongest attack.
Bang Bang Bang
In an instant, it was a chaotic battle.
Fang Chen used the Fire Element Indestructible Sword Art to block the leader's attack, but he couldn't care less about the other people's attacks.
After a while, Fang Chen was sent flying by the leader. He was in a sorry state.
"Since you have eaten the Gold Core, we will capture you," the leader said eerily.
Fang Chen's face was solemn as he thought of a way to escape.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of something breaking through the air from afar.
Immediately after, a young warrior appeared on the barren plains.
"Hmm, it is the aura of the Yellow Spring Sect."
The young warrior landed on the ground and discovered the aura of the Yellow Spring Sect. His expression changed slightly and he immediately shook his wrist. Instantly, countless bolts of Spirit Qi shot out.
Puff Puff Puff
The fourth level Spiritual Whirlpool Realm warrior was hit by the bolts of Spirit Qi and died instantly.
As for the leader of the fifth level Spiritual Whirlpool Realm, he barely dodged the bolts of Spirit Qi.
"Who are you?"
"Who I am is not important. The most important thing is to kill the remaining members of the Yellow Spring Sect," the young warrior said softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly launched a fierce attack and directly fought with the fifth level Spiritual Whirlpool Realm remaining member of the Yellow Spring Sect.
"So strong."
Seeing the battle between the two, Fang Chen couldn't help but exclaim.
The young warrior was too strong. He was at least at the sixth level of the Spiritual Whirlpool Realm or even higher. He directly suppressed the fifth level Spiritual Whirlpool Realm remaining member of the Yellow Spring Sect.
After three minutes, the remaining member of the Yellow Spring Sect died instantly with a puchi.
Seeing this, Fang Chen pursed his lips. He couldn't escape even if he tried his best, but this young warrior resolved his crisis in a few moves.
"Thank you for saving my life, brother." Fang Chen cupped his hands in thanks.
"There are remaining members of the Yellow Spring Sect here. You should leave quickly," the young warrior waved his hand and said.
Fang Chen nodded and said, "Brother, before I leave, I have to remind you that the Swordsman in the Wind has pledged allegiance to the Yellow Spring Sect. He is in this mountain range."
Hearing this, the young warrior's expression changed slightly. He immediately nodded and floated into the mountain range.
"Not only does the Five Elements Academy have geniuses, but the Five Elements State also has hidden geniuses." Fang Chen sighed and turned to leave.
Without any danger, Fang Chen's speed was much faster.
After passing through the barren plains, he passed by several cities.
After three days, he finally arrived at the border of the Iron Blood Empire.
"The Iron Blood Empire is just ahead," Fang Chen looked ahead and said softly.
After that, Fang Chen entered the border of the Iron Blood Empire.
At this moment, a shout came from afar, followed by a group of guards.
"This is the Iron Blood Empire. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter," the leading guard said in a deep voice.
"I am a student of the Five Elements Academy. I was ordered to come to the Iron Blood Empire as a supervisor," Fang Chen said bluntly.
"What proof do you have?" the leading guard asked.
Fang Chen took out the Five Elements Academy's token. Seeing this, the guard immediately smiled and said, "So it's a genius from the Five Elements Academy. Sorry for the lack of manners."
"Young master, how should I address you?" the guard asked.
"Just call me Fang Chen," Fang Chen said.
"Young master Fang, we have received news that the Five Elements Academy will soon send a supervisor. This way, please," the guard said.
Afterwards, the guard brought Fang Chen to the Iron Blood Empire's imperial city.
The Iron Blood Empire's territory was vast, many times larger than the Golden Crown Country.
If one flew from the border of the Iron Blood Empire to the imperial city, it would take at least a day. Fortunately, there were transportation formations.
After passing through several transportation formations, Fang Chen appeared in the Iron Blood Empire's imperial city in only an hour.
"Young master Fang, this is our Iron Blood Empire's imperial city. The king is already waiting for you." The guard laughed as he led the way for Fang Chen.
The Iron Blood Empire's imperial city was very prosperous.
However, after coming out of the Five Elements Academy, Fang Chen's horizons were naturally much higher. He wasn't too surprised by this.
This caused the guards following behind him to be shocked. As expected of a student of the Five Elements Academy. This kind of spirit was truly admirable.
After passing through the bustling streets, Fang Chen arrived in front of the imperial palace.
Then, under the guard's lead, he entered the imperial palace.
"Young master Fang, the king already knows that you have come. He specially sent me to bring you to the imperial garden." After entering the imperial palace, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes came to welcome Fang Chen.
Fang Chen nodded and headed towards the imperial garden.
At this time, in a hidden place in the mountain range where the Golden Rats roamed, a blood-soaked swordsman with eyes filled with killing intent.
