Chapter 424: The Ancient Bronze Lamp. I Stand Unbeatable

The sixth princess looked at Immortal Fire Cloud, her eyes revealing a hint of longing, hoping that Immortal Fire Cloud would tell her she was mistaken. "Master, did you see that too?"

"He seems much younger than before, but judging by his appearance, it should undoubtedly be the same person. They even have the same name and surname...."

Immortal Fire Cloud looked at the Sixth Princess, her brows scrunched up. "What is the origin of this Divine General Fang from your Grand Xia? Why did he suddenly become a member of the Fang Family? What connection does your Grand Xia have with the Fang Family?"

"It's really him..."

The sixth princess was instantly distracted, and she was left unable to answer Immortal Fire Cloud's question. Not that she could come up with an answer anyway.

Yan Ruyue looked at Zhang Xiaoke, her expression complex with a hint of realization. "Younger Junior Brother, that person is indeed your lord. It seems... the Fang Family is his background. No Yu Yuefan wasn't a match for him in the Heavenly Southern Sect."

The woman who was dressed as a peasant muttered to herself, "I should have realized much earlier that you ought to have such a background to be accepted by a powerful figure like that...."

If one didn't have a bit of background, then it didn't matter if they had exceptional talent. After all, being randomly noticed by the powerful figures held the same chances as finding a needle in a haystack.

Suddenly, a realization hit Yan Ruyue, and she looked at Jue Wudi with pity in her eyes. "Since Yu Yuefan wasn't his match, then this Jue Wudi is probably not his opponent either."

She could almost imagine Jue Wudi's shock as well as his defeated Dao heart after he was defeated.

“Mom, Aunt Qingqiu, I can't forget this scent, it's this guy who killed Uncle Tianfeng!” said the little princess of Qinghu Kingdom as she looked at Fang Chen in horror. Recalling something, she quickly tried to transmit her voice to Jue Wudi. However, to her dismay, she found that she couldn't utter a word.

Turning her head, she saw the Qinghu Empire Master looking at her expressionlessly.

"Don't meddle in the affairs of the fifth-tier empire. Since you were so confident in Jue Wudi before, you should remain so today," the Qinghu Empire Master transmitted calmly.

The little princess of Qinghu Kingdom was filled with worry. She had full confidence in Jue Wudi, but his opponent had once single-handedly killed the monstrous Heavenly Wind Demon King!

The Heavenly Wind Demon King had been in the mid-stage of the Foundation Building Realm and had also been proficient in the Dao of Talismans, yet even he hadn't been able to withstand a single sword from the other party. How could Jue Wudi stand a chance?

At present, apart from those who were unaware of the truth having full confidence in Jue Wudi, those who knew Fang Chen or had some contact with him looked at Jue Wudi with pity.

Everyone who knew his achievements thought that Fang Chen had already won this bet.

Fang Lingxing finally waited for this day, her face filled with a happy smile. She scanned the surroundings and finally saw Xia Ji and Wu Ruochou mixed in the crowd.

Fang Lingxing walked over, her eyes with a hint of condescension. "Xia Ji, you won't have any backing in Grand Qian from this day on. Even Master Chanyuan won't be able to protect you."

"Fang Lingxing, who wins and who loses is not necessarily certain," Wu Ruochou said coldly, glancing at her. There was a hint of mockery that flashed in Wu Ruochou's eyes.

"Senior Sister, don't waste your breath on her. After this bet is over, let's explore today's trade conference properly." Xia Ji smiled. "I guess some people will have to hide in the corner and cry."

Fang Lingxing's eyes turned cold. "Who are you saying will cry?"

When Fang Lingxing saw Xia Ji and Wu Ruochou roll their eyes at her together, she ignored them and turned away with a cold laugh.

However, she couldn't help feeling a bit doubtful. Why were these two so confident and not worried about Fang Chen at all?

Fang Lingxing snorted coldly in her heart. "Acting all mysterious!"

In her view, these two were just putting on a strong front, not wanting to lose face in front of her.

Jue Wudi turned around and bowed toward Immortal White Tiger. His words carried extreme self-confidence. "Thanks to Senior White Tiger for providing this barrier. I won't keep Senior White Tiger waiting too long,"

Comparing this to Fang Chen, who remained silent, everyone felt a clear distinction.

"Don't waste time talking. Hurry up and fight, don't delay the trade conference," Immortal White Tiger lazily said.

Jue Wudi looked at Fang Chen, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on his lips. "Are you still planning to use illusion talismans against me today? Or are you planning to use your escape technique?"

Escape technique?

Dongfang Haojie originally didn't care about this bet at all, as he was too absorbed in Fairy Tianyin's eyes to notice. However, when he heard that, he looked toward the field.

"What cultivation level does this Fang Family cultivator have?" He casually asked Nie Tianyuan beside him

"He's at the 12th stage of the Qi Refining Realm. There’s a difference of one major realm between him and Jue Wudi.”

12th stage of the Qi Refining Realm? Then it shouldn't be him, Dongfang Haojie thought to himself, losing interest once again.

He looked at Fairy Tianyin, who was beside him, and said with a playful smile, "Fairy Tianyin, would you like to accompany me to visit Grand Wei after the trade conference ends? We have a lot of delicious food over there."

Fairy Tianyin remained expressionless, not saying a word.

Dongfang Haojie, undeterred, was about to continue speaking when he saw two familiar figures in the crowd. He subconsciously wanted to run over, but then remembered the matter with the Spirit Blood Sect and halted his steps, sighing helplessly.

Fang Chen closed his eyes and said lightly, "What did your senior give you to deal with me?"

"Hehe, it's not really anything special, just something that renders your tricks useless." Jue Wudi chuckled, his palm slowly opening to reveal an ancient bronze lamp.

"Thirty-six Soul Imprints. A top-grade artifact among the mid-grade, yellow-rank treasures."

"This is top-notch among even among treasures of the same level!"

"Jue Wudi is at the Foundation Building Realm. He should just be barely able to activate the treasure. If it were a high-grade, yellow-rank treasure, he wouldn't be able to activate it."

"It seems that the Jue Family is very serious about this bet. I wonder what trump cards the Fang Family has given him..."

People whispered among themselves.

Many of the Fang Family members were curious as they discreetly looked toward the two elders.

"Uncle, what card did you give Fang Chen?" Fang Wanli transmitted his voice.

"Nothing," Fang Tingjian replied after a brief silence.

"..."

Fang Wanli was momentarily left speechless, then he pounded his chest and stomped his foot. If he had known this earlier, he would have personally intervened. He thought Fang Tingjian would take care of it, but he didn't expect that he'd do nothing....

Fang Wanli suddenly looked at Fang Tingjian with a strange expression. "Uncle, you're not planning to let Uncle Tingyuan’s bloodline reach its end, are you?"

"That's exactly it. If Fang Chen can't even defeat Jue Wudi, he can stay in the Fang Family to cultivate for a long time without worrying about anyone causing him trouble again," Fang Tingjian transmitted.

At first, Fang Wanli didn't quite understand, but after thinking for a moment, he suddenly understood what Fang Tingjian meant, causing his expression to turn complicated.

If Fang Chen's talent was far inferior to Fang Tingyuan's, those who once harmed Fang Tingyuan would naturally not bother with Fang Chen again. In other words, if Fang Chen were to lose today, it would be a good thing for him.

Jue Wudi had already begun to activate the artifact in his hand, and in an instant, a green light spread around him.

"Do you have any methods that can harm me right now?" Jue Wudi looked at Fang Chen, smiling lightly. "As of right now, I stand undefeated."

"So it's a defensive artifact!"

The crowd was struck with realization.

The next moment, they saw Fang Chen suddenly disappear from where he stood, only to reappear in front of the green light. They watched as he tore through the green light with his bare hands.

A hint of doubt appeared on Fang Chen's face. "Undefeated?"
