Chapter 109: Probing Their Background

Chapter 109: Probing Their Background

Xia Ji had managed to deceive everyone, including Fang Chen.

If Fang Chen hadnt been a cultivator, he wouldnt have known that Xia Ji was a cultivator too. He would have thought that the latter was just a slacker with so-so martial cultivation.

You saw it yourself, Wolf Marshall Xiao. Xia Ji came out by himself. You wouldnt have been able to stop him, so this favor doesnt count. Rather, you owe me one, Fang Chen said.

Did he join some major martial arts sect? Is that person from a grade-8 or grade-7 state? Wolf Marshall Xiao asked.New novel chapters are published on

How am I to know? Fang Chen shrugged. Remember what I told you. Take a closer look at if theres anything amiss in your country. Quite a number of your people died at the Three Realms Mountain back then too.

I will.

Wolf Marshall Xiao stared deeply at Fang Chen before leaving with Celestial Xiao and the hundreds of Wolf Army elites. Slowly, they disappeared from Fang Chen and Xu Ges sight.

Young master, why didnt you keep him here? Xu Ge was confused.

This was a good opportunity to take down Wolf Marshall Xiao. It would be a huge blow to Greenpine if they lost their marshall and a Ki Manifestation martial artist here.

Issues on the battlefield should be settled on the battlefield, Fang Chen replied. Besides, I need him to verify whether there are Blood Spirit Cultists stationed in Greenpine. Compared to the Blood Spirit Cultists, Wolf Marshall Xiao can be considered to be a good person.

Xu Ge nodded. The Blood Spirit Cult was indeed the bigger threat here.

Its a pity about the Third Prince. We came here to fetch him, but he left with someone else, Xu Ge said with a sigh.

Thats better for him. He has already squandered five years for me. He shouldnt waste any more time, Fang Chen said with a smile. Theres nothing pitiful about it. At least we managed to see him off.

He was glad that he made it on time, or else he wouldnt have been able to see Xia Ji one last time. That Senior Liu didnt look like a patient person. The only thing he lamented was Xia Ji not being able to tell him which sect he had joined, else he could have looked for him in the future.

Boat Thats a good clue. I should ask Li Daoye about it when I return, Fang Chen murmured.

The two of them made their way back to the capital.

Two more days passed.

Guhe, Longdu, and Yizhou had received word that Great Xia was going to conduct a joint military exercise with Chillwater, so they dispatched their envoys along with hundreds of their elites.

Ji Congyun, I only came here out of respect for you. Ill put it out here first. Dont expect me to help you if that cultivator has a powerful background, the latter nonchalantly said.

I understand, Ji Congyun replied with a humble nod.

Knock on the door, the Ji Clans cultivator said.

Ji Congyun walked up and knocked on the Fang Manors door. The butler opened the door, eyed the two of them, and frowned. You are?

Tell Fang Zhentian that I, Ji Congyun, am here, Ji Congyun said.

The butler shuddered. He immediately rushed back in to relay the news, but he relayed it not to Fang Zhentian but Fang Chen.

Young master, someone named Ji Congyun is at the door. Hes here to meet our Old Master!

Fang Chens eyes gleamed with mirth. How many of them are there?

Two.

Invite them in, Fang Chen instructed. He waited for the butler to leave before he turned to Li Daoye and said, Ji Lengyue has a cultivator on his side. The two of them are here to probe us. Make sure you dont cower at a time like this.

Dont worry, I wont cower as long as hes only a wandering cultivator, Li Daoye replied confidently.

Wandering cultivators were of extremely low ranking in the world of cultivation. They had no background and no resources, which was why some of them ended up getting worshiped by mortal clans.

Li Daoye had always looked down on those people.

Soon, Ji Congyun and the Ji Clans cultivator were brought to the main hall. The Ji Clans cultivator immediately turned to Li Daoye, and the latter looked over too.

Third stage Ki Refinement? The Ji Clans cultivator smiled.

His soul was stronger than Li Daoyes due to his higher cultivation, so he could see through Li Daoyes cultivation at a glance. The grimness in his eyes vanished without a trace.

That fellow is stronger than me, Li Daoye whispered to Fang Chen.

You must be Fang Zhentians grandson, Fang Chen? Ji Congyun looked at Fang Chen with an enigmatic smile as he discreetly unleashed a terrifying aura.

He might not be a cultivator, but he was a pinnacle Earth Profound martial artist.
