After obtaining the Master Blacksmith's artifact forging skills, Gu Zong went into closed door cultivation. During this period of time, Fang Chen also trained diligently.
Right now, his cultivation was only at the early stage of Seventh level of the Qi Hai realm. If he could raise his cultivation again, his strength would increase explosively, and at that time, he would be able to fight against the Tianhe Martial Marquis.
Time ticked by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
In this half a month, Fang Chen had been cultivating diligently, but his cultivation had not broken through.
One day, Fang Chen opened his eyes and realized that he was stuck at a bottleneck, unable to break through.
His own master was still in closed door cultivation. Fang Chen left a message to the practitioners in the mansion before he left the West Cloud City.
This time, Fang Chen's target was the central imperial capital, the Luo Family.
Using the teleportation formation, Fang Chen quickly arrived at the central area again. Because the western side of the teleportation formation was not directly teleported to the imperial city.
However, after a few twists and turns, Fang Chen still came to the imperial capital.
This was the first time Fang Chen had been to the Capital, and the entire Capital was packed full of people.
"As expected of the capital."
Fang Chen could clearly feel that within the imperial city, he could feel traces of a powerful aura.
Most of the warriors in the capital were very strong.
After Fang Chen made some inquiries, he found out about the Luo Family's estate.
The Luo Family was the leader of the Nine 2-Star Sects s of the Golden Crown.
When discussing the Luo Family within the imperial city, everyone would be extremely careful, because once the people of the Luo Family found out, they would definitely suffer.
Even the Golden Crown's Imperial Family had a very friendly attitude when facing the Luo Family.
After a while, Fang Chen arrived outside the Luo Family residence. Just as he was about to enter the Luo Mansion, he was stopped by the Luo Family guards.
"I'm here to look for Luo Gong." Fang Chen said softly.
The Overseer obviously knew who Luo Gong was. When he heard that Fang Chen was looking for Luo Gong, he quickly reported to him. After a while, the Overseer ran out and said to Fang Chen, "Sir, please come in."
In an independent courtyard in the Luo Mansion, Fang Chen saw Luo Gong.
"Brother Tie Niu, how have you been?" Luo Gong said while chuckling upon seeing Fang Chen.
Fang Chen nodded at Luo Gong, then said: "Luo Gong, this time, I came to find you because I have something to request of you."
"Oh? "What is it?"
Ever since he had personally experienced Tie Niu's strength in the God Illusionary Space, Luo Gong knew that Tie Niu's strength was much, much stronger than his.
After the return of the God Illusion dimension, the patriarch of the Luo Family Headquarters had also informed Luo Gong. She was trying his best to befriend Tie Niu, because this young man's potential was too strong.
At this time, seeing that Tie Niu had come to find him, Luo Gong naturally wanted to make friends with him. Upon hearing that Tie Niu had a request, Luo Gong directly asked: "What is it?"
"I want to see Luo Liuli." Fang Chen said softly, but his eyes flashed with light.
"Liu Li?" Luo Gong was obviously startled, but immediately after, he seemed to have thought of something, looked at Fang Chen, and thoughtfully said.
"Sister Liu Li is coincidentally in the mansion. I'll go call her now." Luo Gong said.
"It wasn't her." Fang Chen said.
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Luo Gong's footsteps instantly stopped, and he looked towards Fang Chen, a trace of astonishment flashing through his eyes.
"You want to see Aunt Liu Li?" Luo Gong was shocked.
Fang Chen nodded and did not say a word.
"This …" Luo Gong wanted to say something, but he hesitated. In the end, he looked at Tie Niu and said: "Regarding this matter, I cannot make the decision.
With that, Luo Gong brought Fang Chen to the main hall to meet the patriarch.
On the way, Fang Chen coincidentally met Luo Liuli, and the latter also saw him. His beautiful eyes revealed a trace of a smile, and then, he walked over and asked: "Tie Niu, why are you here?"
"He wants to see Aunt Liu Li." Luo Gong said expressionlessly.
Hearing that, Luo Liuli was surprised, he immediately looked at Tie Niu with a complicated expression.
Fang Chen did not speak and followed Luo Gong to the main hall. Inside the main hall, the patriarch sat in the seat of honor and there were many elders seated below.
They seemed to be discussing an important matter. Seeing that Luo Gong had come in along with a strange man, their expressions slightly changed.
"Luo Gong, this is an important place for our family, why did you bring an outsider here?" An elder reprimanded.
The Patriarch of the Luo Family stared at Luo Gong with his deep eyes, waiting for his explanation.
"He is Tie Niu." Luo Gong did not explain, but casually said.
Hearing the two words Tie Niu, the eyes of many elders lit up, and they all stared at Tie Niu one after another. Even the Patriarch at the very top, was looking at Tie Niu with interest.
"You are Tie Niu?" The Patriarch suddenly asked.
"I am Tie Niu, greetings to the elders of the Luo Family." Fang Chen cupped his hands and said.
"Hahaha, truly a young hero coming out. No wonder even Luo Gong is not a match for you." The Patriarch of the Luo Family instantly saw through Tie Niu's strength.
"He's the Tie Niu that spread throughout the entire Golden Crown not long ago. Such a young age, he killed the Black River Martial Marquis, took the place of the Black River Martial Marquis, and ascended to the Martial Marquis List?" Some of the elders discussed in a low voice.
They had never seen Tie Niu before and thought that he should be around the same age as them, but now it seems that Tie Niu was very young.
To be able to reach the Martial Marquis List before the age of twenty … In the entire Golden Crown, isn't this considered a historical genius?
Even in the Nanling, he was comparable to those great powers.
The Martial Marquis List was specially written by the Golden Crown Royal Family. As long as someone lost or killed a marquis, he or she could take over the position of the marquis.
Previously, the news of Tie Niu killing the Black River Martial Marquis had spread throughout the entire Golden Crown. After that, the Golden Crown Royal Family had also investigated the scene and reached the conclusion that Tie Niu had replaced the Black River Martial Marquis.
Since then, Tie Niu became the first expert to step into the Martial Marquis List among the young generation of Golden Crown. Although he was only ranked seventy-second, it was enough for him to be proud.
"It's really Tie Niu. I've seen his portrait before, hahaha." One of the clan elders compared the image to confirm that it was Tie Niu, and started to laugh maniacally.
After a long while, the head of the Luo Family asked: "I wonder why you have come to my Luo Family this time, Tie Niu?"
"I... who I want to see is the noble Luo Liuli. " Fang Chen took a deep breath, and said slowly. This Luo Liuli, was extremely likely to be his own mother.
"Luo Liuli?" Hearing Fang Chen's words, the expressions of the elders changed, and they became a little suspicious.
Since Luo Gong had brought Tie Niu here, then the Luo Liuli that Tie Niu had mentioned ought to not be the Luo Liuli of the younger generation, but the Patriarch's sister.
"You want to see Liu Li?" The Luo Family Head asked with a deep voice, "Can you tell me the reason?"
"This …" Fang Chen wanted to say something but hesitated, he did not want to say too much.
Seeing that Fang Chen did not want to say it, the Luo Family Patriarch did not force him, and said: "You are a good friend of Luo Gong, so it is reasonable to say that you want to meet a member of my Luo Family. However, you did not come at the right time, and Liu Li had just accepted a clan mission and was in the middle of a dangerous mission, so she was not able to return for the time being, so …"
"I can find her." Fang Chen said.
However, right at this moment, his eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on his face. He said: "Tie Niu, Liu Li is carrying out a secret mission of our Luo Family, so she is naturally not located in a place that can be casually told to outsiders."
Hearing this, Fang Chen became a little anxious.
However, at this time, the head of the Luo Family continued, "However, if you can do one thing for my Luo Family, I can tell you where Liu Li is and ask you to go see her."
"What is it?" Fang Chen asked directly.
"It represents our Luo Family's younger generation against the Imperial Family's younger generation." Luo Family's Patriarch said.
Just before Luo Gong had arrived, they were still vexed over what to do in order to exchange pointers with the young generation of the imperial family.
It was said that not long ago, the outstanding young generation of the Imperial Family, the prince who once left the Golden Crown, and went to Nanling, had already returned. It was said that his strength was extremely strong, and in the entire young generation of the Golden Crown, no one was his match.
All these years, the young generation of the Golden Crown had always been suppressed by the Luo Gong of the Luo Family. The purpose of this prince returning was naturally to do something for the Imperial Family and at the same time give the Luo Family a show of might.
So, the Imperial Family wanted to have a friendly spar with the younger generation of the Luo Family.
The Luo Family's hearts burned with anxiety when they knew that Luo Gong was not a match for the prince who had returned from the sect.
Coincidentally, Tie Niu appeared, and he had a request for the Luo Family, although he did not know why he wanted to see Luo Liuli, but if Tie Niu represented their Luo Family, maybe he would be able to defeat the prince who had just returned.
Hearing the Luo Family Patriarch's words, the eyes of all the elders shone, and they all laughed.
"Alright, I agree." Fang Chen agreed without any hesitation.
Tie Niu, I'll let Luo Gong take you to rest. Three days later, the friendly competition will begin. " Luo Family's Patriarch said.
Luo Gong brought Fang Chen out of the main hall and returned to Luo Gong's residence.
"You shouldn't have agreed." Luo Gong said.
"Why?" Fang Chen asked.
"The one who came back this time was the Third Prince. He has a very violent personality. It is said that if a martial artist loses a fight with him, they would be severely injured or even die." Luo Gong said, "It is said that he left the Golden Crown and joined one of the great powers there, causing his strength to increase by leaps and bounds. You are not his opponent, and if you lose, he will definitely take the chance and cripple your cultivation."
Fang Chen shook his head and did not say a word.
No one could stop him from finding his mother.
Although he didn't know whether or not this Luo Liuli was his mother, as long as there was hope, Fang Chen would do it.
On this path, it was fated that he would advance forward with indomitable determination.
