Chapter 95: Fang Zhentian

The old man had a face filled with wrinkles that made him look as if he was ready to return to the soil, but not a single person present dared to make light of him.

Fang Zhentian was an imperial courts veteran, having served three generations of emperors. His seniority towers above that of the Minister of Justice, Jiang Yushu. His achievements were also resounding, as more than thirty percent of Great Xias territory was conquered by him.

He was a prodigious martial artist, reaching pinnacle Ki Control at a young age. However, the many internal traumas he had received from his many years of fighting rendered him unable to advance to Ki Manifestation.

As he advanced in age, he handed over his military power back to the imperial court and began idling at home. Fang Canghai and Fang Cangyou were in their prime then, so they took his role and became the new pillars propping Great Xias military.

Even so, there was a huge gap between Fang Zhantian and his two sons in terms of their martial art talent and their commanding ability. The Fang Clan slowly began to lose its prestige, till Fang Chen emerged.

A key reason behind Fang Chens swift rise to power back then was due to Fang Zhentians influence. Many of the older generations saw a younger Fang Zhentian in Fang Chen, and they felt inclined to support this rising star of Great Xia.

Xiao Shence and Yan Beihan reflexively took a step back, with doubt brimming in their eyes. The Fang Clans Old Master has come out of his seclusion? Does that mean he has managed to make a breakthrough to Ki Manifestation, or did he fail?Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

Father, did you make a breakthrough? Fang Cangyou asked with hopeful eyes.

You brat, how did you end up on a wheelchair? If you listened to me and started a family, you wouldnt have gotten into trouble and crippled your legs, Fang Zhentian roared.

Fang Cangyou looked awkward. Yan Beihan also fidgeted uncomfortably on the spot, as he was the one who crippled Fang Cangyou.

Father.

Fang Chens mother rushed forward to support Fang Zhentian. Fang Zhixue quickly followed suit and supported the old man from the other side.

Lass, you have reached Ki Explosion? Not bad, not bad. You are the most talented woman in our Fang Manor. Fang Zhentian looked at Fang Zhixue with a smile.

Fang Zhixue responded with a proud smile. Grandfather, Im planning to reach Ki Control in the near future.

Good, good. I hope to see it when that day comes. Fang Zhentian patted Fang Zhixues head. He turned to Fang Chens mother and asked, Wheres Canghai?

According to them, my husband has been taken to the imperial court.

Fang Chens mother concisely explained everything that has happened to Fang Zhentian.

Oh? Chener has regained his martial cultivation? Thats good news. A glint flashed across Fang Zhentians eyes.

Fang Cangyou quickly added, Father, Fang Chen has not just regained his martial cultivation but is now stronger than ever. You dont have to go into seclusion anymore.

It was when Fang Chen was defeated in the Three Realms Mountain five years and lost his sight and had his martial cultivation crippled that Fang Zhentian went into seclusion, determined to reach Ki Manifestation so that he could protect his clan.

Our emperor cant possibly turn a blind eye to the matter now that Chillwaters envoy is here. The Fang Manor is doomed.

Whos that old man?

Hm? Could that be the Fang Manors Old Master?

It does look like him

It looks like things have gotten serious. Of course, how could Great Xia dare to fool Chillwater?

Why is Fang Chen nowhere to be seen?

I heard hes out of the capital.

Did that brat escape because he knew Chillwater was coming?

Guhe and Yizhou scholars pointed their fingers at the Fang Manor as they gossiped among themselves.

Meanwhile, a group of Great Xias scions, led by Tao Yu and Ye Qinghe, was also watching the situation from the streets.

Even the Fang Manors Old Master was forced out of his seclusion? Ye Qinghe was astonished.

He had heard much about Fang Zhentians affairs from his father; the latter was practically a Fang Chen in his era. Yet, they forced such a person out of his seclusion?

The Fang Clan is over. Tao Yu frowned. Without the Fang Clan, our Great Xias military will be much weaker than before. This isnt good for our soldiers morale.

Brother Tao, this is good news. The Fang Clan has always dominated the imperial court. Their absence will be a blessing to our Great Xia.

Indeed. Fang Chen only knows how to cause trouble. He messed with the wrong person this time around and got us into trouble with Chillwater.

Quite a few youths agreed with Ye Qinghe. They were envious at how Fang Chen, despite being at the same age as them, had accomplished feats beyond what they could do in their lifetimes.

You fools. Tao Yu glared at them in disdain. We might be on bad terms with Fang Chen, but this is just an internal conflict. Do you really think the downfall of the Fang Clan will benefit our Great Xia? What if Longdu attacks us once more? Who is going to stop them?

The crowd was taken aback.

Ye Qinghe looked at Tao Yu and calmly replied, There are many other talents in the military, just that they have been outshone by Fang Chen. Others will naturally step up to defend our Great Xia if the Fang Clan falls.

Qinghe, Id have agreed with you if the Fang Clan fell when we werent facing external threats. That would have been good news. However, you are taking our Great Xias security for granted. We cant allow the Fang Clan to fall, at least not at this juncture. Tao Yu shook his head.

Ye Qinghe wanted to argue against that, only to suddenly notice something and exclaim, Hm? Those from the Court of Great Brilliance are here!
