Chapter 127: Even Faes Fear Him

Fellow sect masters, as a symbol of our determination, why dont each of us unleash one move on him? The Greatsword Gate Master gestured to Fang Chen as he addressed the crowd.

Very well! I reckon that that northerner is either a spy or a scout. We ought to kill him! The Flag Mountain Sect Master harrumphed as he raised his word and walked toward Fang Chen.

A few other sect masters also began making their way toward Fang Chen to express their determination before the Greatsword Gate Master.

Allow me to go first!

With a roar, Xian Kun charged at Fang Chen with his great sword. The other sect masters stepped aside to give way to him. They had no choice but to do so since Xian Kun was the son of Greatsword Gate Master Xian Wuchang!

Should Xian Wuchang become the southern regions martial emperor, Xian Kun would be the southern regions crown prince. It would be unwise to offend such a person.

It took only a moment for Xian Kun to reach Fang Chen. Without any hesitation, he swung his great sword down on Fang Chens head.

Hes going to kill him just like that?

Forget it, theres another one.

The crowd muttered among themselves.

Fang Chens eyes remained closed, but he emanated a transcendent air that far surpassed any of the martial artists present. That only stoked Xian Kuns animosity, and he exerted even more strength into his great sword.

Zhong Ying and the others closed their eyes. They couldnt bear to watch the scene.

Seconds later, they sensed that something was amiss. Why is it so quiet? Young master Li didnt even let out a cry? Thus, Zhong Ying and the others hurriedly opened their eyes, only to be met with a shocking sight.

Fang Chen had caught Xian Kuns great sword between his fingers. Xian Kun tried to pull and push, to the extent where his face had turned red, but the great sword refused to budge at all.

Sss!

Many people in the crowd gasped. Is young master Li actually a prodigious martial artist too?

Xian Kun was a Ki Explosion martial artist, and the disciples of the Greatsword Gate practiced powerful moves with unparalleled might. Yet, Fang Chen was able to stop the attack with two of his fingers. This put Xian Kun in an awkward position.

Damn it! Xian Kun glared at Fang Chen viciously. This dipshit is actually a hidden expert! I got careless and embarrassed myself in front of so many martial artists. How am I to face the others in the future?

Clang!

Fang Chen flicked his finger, and the fine steel great sword shattered into pieces.

The Flag Mountain Sect Master and the others were stunned too. Huge beads of sweat trickled from their foreheads.

Xian Wuchang snapped out of his daze, and his expression was unprecedentedly severe. Staring intently at Fang Chen, he asked, You are planning

But before he could finish his words, Jue Panshi suddenly rushed out, kneeled to Fang Chen, and exclaimed, Imperial Duke Fang, you have finally arrived! Xian Wuchang and the others are plotting a rebellion! I humbly believe that we have to do a thorough cleansing of the sects in the Nine Commanderies. They dont know their place anymore. To think they dream of installing their own emperor! This is utterly atrocious!

Xian Wuchang and the others were shaken by that ratting out.

However, Xian Wuchang quickly calmed down and said, Imperial Duke Fang, since youre here, allow me to ask you a question on behalf of my comrades from the Nine Commanderies.

Go ahead. Fang Chen smiled.

Can the southern region maintain its current order? If so, Ill leave with the others right now, Xian Wuchang said.

The southern region has been in chaos since my grandfathers era. My grandfather wasnt confident of dealing with it, so he left it be. However, the southern region only continued to grow more chaotic with time. You people colluded with officials to squeeze dry the common populace. Countless have suffered because of you.

The southern region is already scarce in resources. Your wilful actions only further worsen the situation. The population in the southern region has been decreasing over time; most people either choose to leave on their own accord, or that they are unable to feed their children.

Without sufficient people, the southern region will only grow poorer. This is a vicious cycle. At this rate, its only a matter of time before the only ones left in the southern region are you martial artists, Fang Chen said. Is this what you wish to happen?

Fearmongering! Xian Wuchang harrumphed. Ill take this to mean that Imperial Duke Fang is determined to reorganize our southern region and its martial artists?

Fang Chen nodded.

Very well. Consider this a rebellion then. The experts of different sects are gathered here today, and they number eight thousand. I wonder how many of us can Imperial Duke Fang kill today, Xian Wuchang sneered.

Xian Kun quietly backed away, not wanting to get caught in the crossfire, but Fang Chen suddenly raised his hand and dragged him back through an invisible force. His neck flew right into Fang Chens grasp.

Fang Chen casually tossed Xian Kun aside, and the latter fell into Huangfu Jies hands.

Hold him. Well execute him after this is all over, Fang Chen instructed.

Yes, young master. Huangfu Jie nodded.

He crippled Xian Kuns ki sea with a palm strike before passing the fainted Xian Kun to the other Profound Saber Sects disciples to deal with.

Xian Wuchang remained unmoved, though the veins popping from his temples hinted at how infuriated he was.

Not all of you have preyed on the common populace. If so, I dont plan on dealing with you. Carefully think things through. Do you intend to rebel alongside Xian Wuchang? Fang Chen opened his grayish-white eyes and looked at the crowd.
