Chapter 186: Let’s Continue Our Conversation

Fang Chen didnt cast any mystic art, instead merely dishing out a simple palm strike.

Yet, it left Zhengye Yinggui feeling greatly threatened, as if he had caught the eye of a dangerous being. He instinctively turned around and fled.

But before he could take even a single step, the aureate ki protecting him was shattered by Fang Chens spirit ki, and his body exploded on the spot. Blood splattered along with his flesh and bone smithereens.

The surroundings plunged into silence.

Vastseas martial artists were infuriated. One of our talented offspring is killed just like that?

He is an immortal. Ji Congyun finally confirmed this fact, and that made his heart swell with regret. Had he known this would happen, he wouldnt have spared Fang Zhentian back then!

There was not a sliver of doubt in his mind that the Fang Clan would come after him for what he had done back then.

How dare you! Zhengye Haonan lost his temper and drew his sabers too.

Fang Chen instantaneously manifested a fireball at his fingertip and released it upon Zhengye Haonan. The third stage Origin Ki martial artist was reduced to cinders just like that; he didnt even get a chance to struggle at all.

Kill every single one of Vastseas martial artists, Fang Chen ordered.

Yes, young master. Zhao Yan nodded.

He flitted forth like a specter, reaping away the lives of Vastseas martial artists with sharp and precise movements.

Ji Congyun dared not to stop him. Redsky and Heavenrocs martial artists also chose to prioritize their own safety.

Within fifteen seconds, the fifty Vastsea martial artists who had come here with Zhengye Haonan were all dead.

The surroundings fell silent.

The crowd subconsciously suppressed their breathing to make it as quiet as possible, fearing that they would draw Fang Chens ire next. All of them looked at Fang Chen with eyes filled with fear and horror.

War God Fang, why dont you have a seat at my manor now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up? Ji Congyun said with a strained smile.

How should he be dealt with? Fang Chen pointed at Song Yi.

Song Yi and his little sister were scared out of their wits. Sweat flowed profusely from their foreheads.

Elder Qin even kneeled down and kowtowed, pleading, Young hero, please spare us. Our young master is just too young and hasnt been through much. Please give him a chance to turn over a new leaf. I did it all on my own accord

It went without saying that Ji Lengxing and the others wouldnt dare to speak up for Song Yis group anymore.

The pale-faced Song Yi slowly got to his knees and said, Ill accept any fate that befalls me. It was my idea to call the Ji Clan over too. This has nothing to do with Elder Qin. He is merely our Song Clans servant and had no choice but to do my bidding.

Dont say that, young master! This is all my fault. Things wouldnt have blown up if I hadnt called the Ji Clan over, Elder Qin cried with a pale face.

Ill take responsibility for my own actions, Song Yi said with a tragic smile. I was the one who offended someone I shouldnt have, so I ought to take responsibility for my actions. I dont want to be mocked by others even after my death and bring shame to the Song Clan.

Song Hui looked at Ji Lengxiao with pleading eyes, but the latter shook his head with a bitter look. Even Ji Congyun had to bow down to Fang Chen; how could he dare to speak up at this juncture?

Fang Chen eyed Song Yi before turning to Tantai Qingxuan. Miss Tantai, how do you think we should deal with him?

Let him kneel here for ten days. Hes not to take any food or water, Tantai Qingxuan coldly replied.

The crowd was startled. Elder Qin revealed a look of delight.

Song Yi couldnt believe what he was hearing. They are sparing my life?

Hear that? Kneel here, Fang Chen said.

Understood! Song Yi hurriedly nodded. As long as he could live, he wouldnt hesitate to kneel here even for a month. As for his tarnished reputation what did that count as compared to his life?

This matter is settled then, Fang Chen said before turning to Ji Congyun. Now why did Chillwater turn a blind eye when Vastseas martial artist interfered in the battle at the Three Realms Mountain back then? Elder Ji, you should know something about that, no?

Ji Congyun was startled, but he didnt let it show on his face. Our Chillwater didnt receive news about it. By the time we learned about it, it was already too late

Are you taking me for a fool? Fang Chen sharply interjected. I am aware of how your Chillwater dealt with this matter afterward. You should tell me the truth, lest this matter implicate the innocent.

Ji Congyun looked conflicted, for this matter concerned Chillwaters imperial family. He spent seconds in silence before finally nodding. Im ashamed to say this, but Chillwater did receive news about that matter. However, our crown prince is on good terms with Vastseas Zhengye Clan, and he had come to an agreement with them to not interfere in this matter.

Chillwaters crown prince? Fang Chen murmured before nodding. He looked toward the nearby capital before saying, Lets go. I want to meet your crown prince.

In Chillwaters imperial palace, the emperor, the crown prince, and the officials were waiting in the imperial court for Ji Congyuns group to return. They had been discussing how they should deal with Great Xia when a commotion broke out at the capital harbor.

The emperor frowned impatiently as he looked toward the capital harbor.

Father, theres no need to worry. Elder Ji will suppress whoevers causing trouble at the capital harbor, Chillwaters crown prince said with a smile.

Im not worried; Im exhausted. The emperor waved his hand in annoyance as he continued waiting.

Shortly later, the eunuch outside the imperial court announced that Ji Congyun and the others had returned. That perked up the emperor.

A group of people entered the imperial court right after.

To the officials bewilderment, Zhengye Haonan and all of Vastseas martial artists had disappeared without a trace. Instead, there were a few foreign faces in the crowd.

Ji Congyun, who are they? Wheres Zhengye Haonan? the emperor asked with a frown.

The crown prince warily eyed Fang Chen and the others.

With a grim face, Ji Congyun clasped his fist and said, I have with me esteemed guests from Great Xia. This man over here is none other than Great Xias War God Fang Chen.

Great Xias War God?

The officials were baffled. It was a moment ago that they were discussing how they should deal with Great Xia, but Great Xias War God was now standing before them. This was too much of a coincidence!

The crown prince narrowed his eyes, but before he could speak

I heard from Elder Ji that Chillwaters crown prince made a deal with Vastsea, and thats why Chillwater turned a blind eye to our battle at the Three Realms Mountain? Fang Chen asked.

The crown prince was startled.

The emperors face darkened. Audacious! Are you here to question our Chillwater? Have you forgotten your place?

Your Majesty, Fang Chen is an immortal. These people are all immortals, Ji Congyun said.

Immortals?!

The crowd was startled. Even the emperor looked shaken up. They werent foreign to the existence of immortals, as they knew that the Ji Clan had been worshiping one themselves. Their Nightmare Steeds were acquired through the guidance of that immortal.

Answer my question, Fang Chen said. Utter any falsehood, and there shant be peace in the imperial court today.

Ki ki ki a sinister laugh echoed.

An old man slowly walked into the imperial court.

The emperor and the others blurted out in shock when they saw the old man, Old Ancestor?!

The old man looked unkempt like a madman. His eyes, which were concealed beneath his long fringe, were fixated on Fang Chens group as he said, Ji Congyun, are you siding with outsiders now? Your Ji Clan cant hold still anymore and has decided to stage a rebellion?

Daoist Xia, kill him, Fang Chen calmly ordered.

A cold glint flashed across the room.

The crowd only saw a shadow flying from Xia Yuns sleeves and back in, but the old man stiffened up on the spot. Seconds later, his head slowly slid from his neck and plopped to the ground, rolling a few meters away.

Lets continue our conversation, Fang Chen told the dumbfounded crowd.
