Chapter 145: Little Brother Fang, What Do You Think?

Who is that?

What a terrifying aura!

Is that a Golden Core cultivator or

Elder Jinnan and the others lay unkempt on the floor. They could only barely raise their heads to look at the silhouette, but the reflection of the sun hindered them from taking a good look.

All of the cultivators present were unnerved. Not even in their wildest imagination did they expect a mere spirit assessment to draw out such a powerhouse.

Clearly, an old monster in the world of cultivation had chosen the mortal named Fang Chen as his disciple, just that he didnt have time to take him away yet. Nevertheless, he left an imprint on Fang Chen, and this imprint would automatically trigger during a spirit assessment.

That resulted in the current scene.

An immortal!

Its a true immortal!

Many people in the crowd kneeled to the silhouette with devout expressions.

His lineage is that terrifying? Abbess Moonchaser was shocked. No wonder he has inherited the Purple Lightning Talismans heritage!

Fang Chen was stunned too. That silhouette was obviously Daoist Cloudcrane! He didnt know the other party had left an imprint on him. Is this to stop other cultivators from taking me under their wing?

A bunch of nobodies dares to snatch my disciple from me. Have you grown weary of living? Consider this my first warning. There wont be a second! I wont show mercy. Ill obliterate your souls so that you wont even have a chance to reincarnate! Daoist Cloudcrane sneered at the crowd before dissipating.

The terrifying aura crushing the cultivators vanished.

Elder Jinnan and the others awkwardly returned to their feet. They looked at Fang Chen once more, this time with deep fear in their eyes.

The heck Li Daoye was dazed.

He would have never thought Fang Chen had such a terrifying background. Just a mere silhouette from his master was enough to crush all of these Foundation Establishment cultivators to the ground! Just how powerful must his master be then?

He would have to at least be a Golden Core cultivator!

Heavens, thats a Golden Core cultivator right there! No wonder he has so many talismans. That explains how he picked up the Moonsuck Gold artifact. A cultivator chosen by a Golden Core cultivator cant be gauged by normal standards. He is a monster through and through

Waves of shock washed over Li Daoyes heart, but that was quickly replaced by excitement shortly after. Woohoo! I managed to latch onto a thick thigh! Hehehe!

How is this possible He has been chosen by an even stronger immortal? Xia Yu stared at Fang Chen in disbelief. Indignation flashed across his eyes. I have superior cultivation talent. Im going to join the South Heaven Sect, yet I still have to live under Fang Chens shadow?

The officials of the imperial court were shaken. Slowly, it dawned upon them how Fang Chen had regained his martial cultivation.

The Great Xias emperor also remembered Fang Chen mentioning that he had regained his martial cultivation after meeting a daoist. Putting two and two together, that daoist was likely the same one who had just crushed all of the immortals here to the ground.

Some were shocked. Some were horrified.

Xia Yuns lips quivered in fear. He had lived for more than a hundred years, but this was his first time encountering such a situation. He recalled how he had visited the Fang Manor a while back to threaten Fang Chen, and a chill rose from his feet to his head, causing him to tremble.

His juniors werent faring any better. Li Daoyes background surprised them, but what happened earlier horrified them. They were only relieved they didnt go too far with their snobbishness and directly insult him.

I thought His Highness could suppress him this time Ye Qinghe murmured in incredulity.

He thought now that Xia Yu had been deemed to have superior cultivation talent, it wouldnt be long before he became strong enough to surpass Fang Chen. Yet, who could have thought that Fang Chen had already been taken in by a powerful immortal?

The empress was shocked too. A moment later, she glanced at Noble Consort Hua.

The latter sensed her gaze, and she fidgeted uncomfortably on the spot, not daring to look the empress in the eye.

That brought a smirk to the empress face.

The surroundings fell silent. Everyone was gripped with shock.

It was a while before Elder Jinnan broke this deathly silence. He clasped his fist at Fang Chen and spoke politely, Little Brother, I didnt expect you to have a lineage. Now that I look back at it, we were imprudent. Please apologize to your master on our behalf when you meet him.

Youre too polite, elder. Fang Chen nodded.

Please dont call me elder. Your master is our elder, which makes us peers. Elder Jinnan hurriedly waved his hands.

Daoist Crow and the others quickly voiced their agreement as well.

Xia Yu looked at this sight with conflicted eyes. Fang Chens master must be formidable for these immortals to act like that. I lost to him as a martial artist. I lost to him as a commander. Am I going to lose to him as a cultivator too?

This isnt fair!

Xia Yu clenched his fists with reddened eyes.

Elder Jinnan and the others didnt dare to let Fang Chen take the spirit assessment anymore, but the crowd had no doubt that the latters talent surpassed Xia Yu. How else would Fang Chen be chosen by such a powerful expert?

Even Elder Jinnan and the others thought the same too, so they arranged for him to take a seat beside Elder Jinnan.

Seeing Fang Chen rest on a chair while he stood behind Elder Jinnan further stoked Xia Yus sense of indignance and humiliation.

But his indignation couldnt change the outcome of what had happened.

The spirit assessment continued, just that there was another seat at the center reserved for the Great Xias War God.

The Sixth Princess, who mocked Fang Chen earlier, meekly hid behind Immortal Aunt Firecloud. She occasionally glanced at Fang Chen, but she dared not to directly look at him.

The next ones to get assessed were the officials and their young offspring.

Most of them could only evoke a single toll. Some couldnt even evoke a toll. Only in rare cases were there two to three tolls. There wasnt a single four tolls.

The crowds confidence swiftly waned. Those who were still waiting in line felt nervous, fearing that their results would be unsatisfactory.

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

Five tolls!

The crowd looked at Li Huafeng in envy. These five tolls were enough for Li Huafeng to join a cultivator sect and walk the path of immortality.

Congratulations, Prime Minister Li.

Huafeng has had outstanding talent as a martial artist. I can see he also towers above the others as a cultivator too.

Li Guozhu was overjoyed to learn that the Li Clan was going to have a cultivator. Being a cultivator was even more prestigious than being a prime minister!

Meanwhile, Li Huafeng kept a nonchalant expression. He was relieved that the result wasnt terrible, but at the same time, he wasnt satisfied either, as his cultivation talent was inferior to Xia Yu and Fang Chen.

Ill be taking that lad. Any objections? Daoist Crow said.

The other cultivators didnt say anything, but surprisingly, Elder Jinnan glanced at Fang Chen and asked, Little Brother Fang, what do you think?

That question immediately sent cold sweat gushing from Li Huafengs head. Li Guozhus heart skipped a beat as well.

They knew Fang Chen and Li Huafeng had a conflict between them in their younger years, and it wasnt just any minor conflict
