Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 181: Play With Him

Chapter 181: Play With Him

For the next few days, Fang Chen and the others meditated with crossed legs in their cabin. While none of them had reached a level where they could survive without food, they could still easily function for days without food.

Fang Chen didnt draw any talismans in the meantime. Instead, he cultivated normally using the Three Thousand Dao Gates initiate manual and slowly absorbed spirit ki from the surroundings.

Xia Yun and the others secretly observed him. They noticed that Fang Chens cultivation speed was so slow that even Xia Yun, who only evoked two tolls back then, was faster than him.

This astonished them. They wondered if Fang Chen was putting on an act to avoid revealing his cultivation method. Otherwise, it was unthinkable how someone of such aptitude could be taken in by such a formidable powerhouse?

What they didnt know was that Fang Chens cultivation talent was indeed at this level. He only progressed fast because his spirit ki capacity would grow each time he depleted his spirit ki. Most of his cultivation talent could be attributed to his strong soul.

Song Yi spent all his time in his cabin after being humiliated, but his subordinates would walk around every now and then to keep an eye on Fang Chens movements.

Young master, they have holed themselves up inside their cabin over the last few days, a martial artist respectfully reported to Song Yi.

These people are surprisingly low profile despite being from a formidable background. I wonder what business they have in our capital. Song Yi frowned.

Elder Qin looked at the scenery outside and chuckled. Young master, were nearing the capital now. Should I make a move first?

Elder Qin, Ill be counting on you. Song Yi was delighted to hear that.

Soon after, Elder Qin left on a smaller boat provided by the captain. Through propagating the boat with his inner ki, he was able to travel at an extremely fast speed, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

The captain looked nervous. He glanced at one of Song Yis subordinates, and the latter snorted, Keep out of this. This matter has nothing to do with you.

Yes, milord. The captain hurriedly nodded.

Quite a few martial artists witnessed the sight. They could guess what Elder Qin was up to, and they werent surprised by it either. In the first place, they never thought that the Song Clan would take it lying.

Hours later, the cargo boat docked at a prosperous harbor. Many passenger and cargo boats were stopped here too. Some of these boats were so huge that they looked like a mountain.

Its been a long time since I last came to Chillwaters capital, Xia Yun remarked as he looked at the towering city walls in the distance.

Senior Xia, how far away are we from our destination? Liu Suifeng asked.

We are quite close now, Xia Yun replied. He turned to Fang Chen and asked, Daoist Fang, should we head there straight or?

No rush. That place wont disappear into thin air. Lets settle our Great Xias affairs first, Fang Chen said with a smile.

Xia Yun and his two juniors nodded, having guessed as much. They would have long lost their patience if it had been anyone else, but Fang Chen had such a huge background that they saw greater benefit from getting on good terms with Fang Chen than to visit the dilapidated blessed land.

This was the reason they had been willing to wait days in the capital for Fang Chen.

Song Yi combed the harbor with his eyes as soon as he alighted from the cargo boat, and he heaved a sigh of relief when he spotted Elder Qins silhouette. He glanced at Fang Chen and asked with a chuckle, Shall we alight together?

Martial artists had begun gathering in the harbor, knowing that something was about to happen. They had noticed that Nightmare Knights were camping in the area, a sign that a higher-up from the Ji Clan was here.

He looks so much more confident than before, Tantai Qingxuan remarked with a laugh. The disdain in her eyes hadnt faded in the least.

We can play with him. Liu Suifeng chuckled. It looks like well be troubling Daoist Fangs men.

Im not strong enough to mess with them, though Old Zhao can deal with them easily, Xu Ge said with a pout.

Zhao Yan glanced at Fang Chen. The latters nod told him what he ought to do. His eyes gleamed with expectation. This was the first time he had traveled so far away from home since learning martial arts.

Now that he was at Chillwaters capital, he was curious to know how his means measured up against Chillwater's pinnacle Earth Profound realm martial artists. I wonder who will be stronger.

Song Yi saw that Fang Chen and the others werent paying attention, so he snorted in derision before alighting from the cargo boat first.

Brother Song Yi, its been a long time.

A bunch of dignified young people dressed in silk fineries walked up and welcomed him. All of them were powerful martial artists.

Their leader exuded an aura that was no weaker than Elder Qins, but he was around the same age as Ji Lengyue. He revealed a warm smile upon seeing Song Yi and his younger sister.

Brother Lengxing! Song Yi stepped forward and warmly welcomed Ji Lengxing and the bunch of Ji Clansmen he had brought with him.

Brother Song Yi, Sister Song Hui, this is the Forgotten Sea Sword Sects Xu Qingfeng. Ji Lengxing gestured to the expressionless young man standing beside him, who looked to be slightly older than the others.

Xu Qingfeng? Song Yi was startled. He turned to the expressionless young man and exclaimed, Youre Pristine Sword King Xu Qingfeng?

Youre too polite. Thats just a title others call me by. Brother Song, you may just address me as Qingfeng, Xu Qingfeng replied with a smile, though his voice carried a hint of glee.

Ji Lengxing chuckled. Dont be so humble. Only a small handful of people in our Chillwater have reached second stage Primal Ki at your age.

He then turned to Song Yi and asked, I heard from Elder Qin that you got into a conflict with someone while riding on the cargo boat?

Indeed. Song Yi nodded.

I see. I was hosting Brother Xu in my residence when we heard about the matter, so we came over together. Point that person out to us. Lets see who is so brazen as to dare lay a hand on the Song Clansmen, Ji Lengyue said.

Fang Chen and the others happened to be alighting from the boat then, so Song Yi gestured to them and said, Brother Lengxing, those are the people who attacked us. They arent from our Chillwater.

It doesnt matter which country they are from. They ought to obey our rules now that they are in Chillwater, Ji Lengxing sneered.

With a wave of his hands, countless Nightmare Knights rushed forth and sealed off the harbor. The vendors, sailors, merchants, and passengers were all shocked by this commotion.

The Song Clan really got the Ji Clan to make a move!

Those people are over.

The martial artists who traveled with Fang Chen and the others murmured among themselves.

The Nightmare Knights surrounded Fang Chens group, and their leader eyed them loftily. Young master Lengxing wants to talk to you. Follow us.

Song Yis eyes gleamed with excitement as he watched as Fang Chens group was being escorted over to their side. He was finally able to repay them for his humiliation!
