Chapter 146: I Shall Sever Your Immortal Path

Chapter 146: I Shall Sever Your Immortal Path

Its over for him, Tao Yu murmured.

Ye Qinghe was shaken. He asked with a suppressed voice, Will Fang Chen really dare to stand in Li Huafengs way at a time like this?

Why not? Tao Yu sneered. You didnt see what happened earlier? Fang Chens master is a big deal. Even these immortals dare not to offend Fang Chen.

Sss! Ye Qinghe gasped. Then when it comes to our turn

Dont worry, I know Fang Chens temperament. He wont get back at us on such a matter. However, the same cant be said about Li Huafeng. That fellow caused the death of a general who once served under Old Master Fang. That general taught Fang Chen how to mobilize troops and deploy formations, Tao Yu said.

I hope so Ye Qinghe looked conflicted.

Li Guozhus face darkened. He looked as if he wanted to say something, but he held his tongue. The surrounding officials secretly exchanged gazes too.

Cold sweat wouldnt stop pouring from Li Huafengs forehead, so much so that they flowed down to his fingertips and dripped on the floor. That was how nervous he was right now.

Everyone waited with bated breaths for Fang Chens verdict.

Li Huafeng looks talented. Ill find time to ask my master if he wants to take him in, Fang Chen remarked with a smile.

Since thats the case, I shall take a step back here. Daoist Crow didnt hesitate to admit defeat.

As expected Most people could already guess how Fang Chen would deal with Li Huafeng.

Li Guozhu sighed, looking as if he had aged years in an instant.

Li Huafengs face turned pale. He didn't think Fang Chen would ask his master to take him in; the latter was using this as an excuse to stop him from joining any sects. Gritting his teeth, he mustered his courage and said, Xia Imperial Duke, I know we have our differences, but why not let bygones be bygones? You shouldnt stop me from becoming a cultivator over past affairs.

Elder Jinnan and the others were startled to hear those words, and it prompted them to look at Li Huafeng with contemplative eyes.

You dont believe me. So be it. Fang Chen chuckled. He turned to Elder Jinnan and the others. Is anyone willing to take him under their wing?

Hes not suited for our South Heaven Sect, Elder Jinnan was the first one to reject Li Huafeng.

The other cultivators also shook their heads without bothering to look at Li Huafeng.

Even Daoist Crow, who had wanted to take in Li Huafeng earlier, said, I made a mistake earlier. This child isnt suited to join my lineage. I dont think were destined to be master and disciple.

Li Huafeng looked as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning. Looking at the cultivators who refused to take him in just because they didnt want to offend Fang Chen, he felt infuriated and despaired.

Seeing that, Xia Yun told Li Huafeng, You should wait by the side for now. The cultivators might change their minds later.

Heaven isnt blind!

The crowd murmured among themselves.

A pancake seller? Xia Yus complexion turned even more awful. A pancake seller actually has the same cultivation talent as me. Im the only one in the imperial family who evoked seven tolls. There isnt a single scion in the capital who is anywhere close to Pancake Zhang!

The farm lady holding an old hen turned to Elder Jinnan with a smirk. As we have discussed earlier, this child shall be joining our Beast Spirit Valley.

Elder Jinnan didnt say a word, but he gestured with his eyes. The farm lady belatedly remembered Fang Chens presence and hurriedly turned to him. Daoist Fang

Since you have made your agreement, I shant get in the way, Fang Chen replied with a smile.

The farm lady breathed a sigh of relief. She gestured Pancake Fang over. Come over.

Pancake Fang slowly made his way over, but he first clasped his fist and bowed to Fang Chen.

The crowd was startled, but none of them thought that it was out of place. Fang Chen did command high prestige in the capital, after all. What they didnt know was that Pancake Fangs gesture had another significance behind it.

Fang Chen looked at him with a smile. You have to work hard as a cultivator.

Young Lord Imperial Duke, Ill take your words to heart! Pancake Fang replied before taking his position behind the farm lady.

To this point, the South Heaven Sect and Beast Spirit Valley had taken in a disciple with superior cultivation talent each.

Next up is Ah? Jade Fairy?!

Even Jade Fairy is here for the spirit assessment?!

Of course! Everyone of thirty years old and below is allowed to participate in the spirit assessment. Why cant Jade Fairy be here?

The crowd murmured as they intently watched the white silhouette.

Jade Fairy walked with bare feet. Her face, which was concealed by a veil, captured the attention of most men in the crowd. In particular, the eyes of Ye Qinghe, Xia Yu, and the others heated up.

So shes the famous Jade Fairy in the capital. The empress chuckled. Her appearance does resemble a fairy. I would have been drawn to her if I was a man too.

The Great Xias emperor glanced at the empress with a perplexed frown. Its my first time seeing her.

I know. The empress nodded with a smile. Her eyes drifted over to Fang Chens side, as she knew that Jade Fairy had stayed at the Fang Manor for a few days. Based on her understanding of her nephew, the two of them had to be acquainted.

Among the crowd, Fang Qingyaos maid anxiously urged, Young miss, even Jade Fairy has gone for the spirit assessment. You should do the same too!

Fang Qingyao looked hesitant. Am I really suited to be a cultivator? If I become a cultivator, who will take care of the capitals Compassion Halls? Who will manage the Verdant Apothecary Hall that my father passed down to me?
