Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 83: I’m Fang Chen

Chapter 83: I’m Fang Chen

The crowd was taken aback, for they knew Fang Chens group comprised over thirty people. Usually, it would have been foolish to provoke such a large group of people.

However, the Valiant Defenders reputation was even more frightening. Some of the customers even directed sympathetic looks at Fang Chen.

The young man was clearly an important figure in the Valiant Defenders, possibly the son of a chiliarch. Someone of his stature had the influence to get any woman he wanted in the southern region.

Yuan Zhuang and the others turned livid. Huangfu Jie revealed a contemptuous smile as he quietly assessed the young man.

The young man was so mesmerized by Abbess Clearlotus that he didnt sense the bizarre atmosphere. He walked over, clasped his fist, and introduced himself, Little Abbess, my father is Chiliarch Jue from the South Immortal Commanderys Valiant Defenders.

It really is a chiliarchs son! The fear in the crowds eyes deepened.

In terms of official grade, chiliarchs were not particularly high ranking. However, Valiant Defenders were an independent organization with a separate command chain, and the direct superior of the chiliarchs was the supervisor who resided far in the capital.

In other words, the chiliarchs in the southern region had practically free reign to do whatever they wanted, making them exceptionally powerful.

Abbess Clearlotus panicked. She instinctively sensed that the person before her was the same type of person as Li Daoye, so she turned to Fang Chen with eyes pleading for help.

Pardon me, but Ill have to ask you not to disturb our rest, Fang Chen said.

The young man eyed Fang Chen with a disdainful look before turning to the manager. Didnt my man tell you to empty out some tables? What are you waiting for?

The manager sighed in resignation. He quickly approached some of the less intimidating individuals and asked them to leave. Those people were also happy to do so, as they didnt want to risk offending the Valiant Defenders.

But before those people could move, the young man pointed to Fang Chen, Huangfu Jie, and the others, and said, I want these tables. I like these seats.

Hah Yuan Zhuang and the others sneered.

None of them had a high opinion of the Valiant Defenders, especially Yuan Zhuang, who had been tortured by them not long ago. They were brimming with animosity toward the arrogant young man.

This

The manager was not a fool either. He could tell that Fang Chen likely had a powerful background. This put him in a dilemma, as he couldnt offend either side.

Why are you standing in a daze? Ill have my subordinates clear the table if you arent going to do it, the young man sneered, as he stared at Fang Chen with provocative eyes.

Hearing those words, the brawny martial artist and the others marched up to Huangfu Jie and the others and snorted, You dont hear my young master? Get lost!

Young master, shall we take them down? Yuan Zhuang asked Fang Chen.

The rectifiers from the Court of Great Brilliance were Ki Explosion martial artists. It wouldnt be difficult for them to take down these punks.

Go ahead. Fang Chen nodded.

The disparity in their fighting prowess was too huge. It only took an instant for the rectifiers and the constables to pin the brawny martial artist and the others under their feet.

The crowd was stunned. The manager watched the situation in despair. Chen Da from the Blackriver Sect was taken aback.

These people dared to make a move despite knowing that they are dealing with the son of a chiliarch?

Even a strong dragon would struggle to deal with a snake in its turf. The chiliarchs in the southern region were different from those in the capital! Not only did they have over a hundred elites under their command, they also had the power to mobilize the local garrison troop, which boasted a strength of more than ten thousand people!

How dare you! Do you take our Valiant Defenders as pushovers? the young man sneered at Fang Chen and the others, not losing his composure at all.

Youre dead meat! The brawny martial artist and the others also didnt forget to hurl threats despite being pinned on the ground, looking as if they had everything under control.

Rectifier Yuan, I heard that Liu Tian might have escaped to the southern region? Fang Chen suddenly asked.

Yuan Zhuang quickly caught the drift and replied, Indeed. The Court of Great Brilliance has found evidence suggesting that Liu Tian might have escaped to the southern region.

These people are from the Valiant Defenders too, so they might be related to Liu Tian. Keep a close eye on them. Well bring them back to the capital with us later on, Fang Chen instructed.

The young man was taken aback. The crowd also realized there might be more to this than what they had initially expected.

Court of Great Brilliance? Liu Tian?

Liu Tians name had made its round in the southern region, as the imperial court had issued a nationwide arrest warrant on him!

Youre from the Court of Great Brilliance? the young man asked.

Im Rectifier Yuan Zhuang from the Court of Great Brilliance, Yuan Zhuang sneered.

A mere rectifier dares to mess with me

The young man burst into laughter, a sign that he didnt think highly of Yuan Zhuang. This is the South Immortal Commandery, not the capital! The Court of Great Brilliances jurisdiction is limited to the capital; it doesnt even have a branch in the southern region!

Youre also under suspicion of colluding with Liu Tian, Yuan Zhuang sneered.

Yuan Yu and the others leaped forth to tie the young man up too.

In just a few moments, the arrogant young man and his lackeys had been reduced to prisoners, leaving the other customers in the teahouse flabbergasted as to what had just happened.

Audacious! the young man bellowed. He angrily turned to Fang Chen and questioned, Are you their superior? Do you know that my father is a chiliarch of the South Immortal Commanderys Valiant Defenders? You better release me right now, or youll have hell to suffer once my father gets involved!

Kneel down! Yuan Yu kicked the young mans knees, forcing them to bend down.

The young man was made to kneel before Fang Chen. Never in his life had he suffered such humiliation before! His face turned bright red, and his face distorted in fury. If looks could kill, he would have withered there and then.

Tell me your name! the young man coldly uttered.

I am Fang Chen, Fang Chen replied with a smile.

Fang The young man was just about to spew another slew of threats when he suddenly found the name oddly familiar.

It was the Blackriver Sects Chen Da who first connected the dots and gasped in astonishment. He half-kneeled on the ground out of shock and exclaimed, War God Fang?!

War God Fang?!

Those still seated in the teahouse, be it merchants, travelers, vendors, or martial artists, immediately shot to their feet and stared at Fang Chen in shock. The pugilists had a low opinion of officials in general, but there was one official in Great Xia whom all of them respected.

Great Xias War God, Fang Chen!

Not long ago, the news of Fang Chen purging the Greenpine Superior Dojo reached the southern region, and nearly all of Great Xias pugilists approved of his actions.

There were also Greenpine martial artists wandering in the southern region, and they were incredibly arrogant as well. But after the Greenpine Superior Dojo was purged, most of them either hurriedly left Great Xia or assumed a low profile.

War God Fangs swift and decisive actions had intimidated them!

W-War God Fang How could it be him

The young man was shocked beyond words. His arrogance vanished without a trace, and his body trembled nonstop. His father might be a chiliarch, but War God Fang was someone whom even his father would have to lower his back for

The gap between them was as huge as heaven and earth!
