Chapter 156: A Dignified Departure

Chapter 156: A Dignified Departure

The capital was put on lockdown, while Old Huang quickly apprehended the officials Xia Yu had named out.

Some of them tried to hide. Some of them were anxiously waiting for further news. Either way, no one managed to escape.

In less than an hours time, all of them were dragged to the Palace of Great Peace. Their faces turned pale when they saw the people gathered in the room. Some even peed their pants.

Where did Enforcement Envoy Liu escape to? Fang Chen asked.

Xia Yu dazedly replied, Hes already dead.

The crowd exchanged looks. This outcome was not beyond their expectations, as a dead man told no secrets.

Daoist Fang, we cant spare any of them. Elder Jinnan eyed Xiao Shence and the others.

Lets kill them on the spot. Fang Chen nodded.

Old Huang raised his saber and executed these officials one after another within a matter of seconds. Xiao Shences eyes were calm in his final moments. He didnt curse or struggle, as if he had resigned himself to his fate.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

What a pity. Thats a cultivation talent of seven tolls. Elder Jinnan looked at Xia Yu before slowly raising his palm.

The Great Xias emperor couldnt bring himself to watch his sons death, so he closed his eyes. Xia Yun harbored no feeling for Xia Yu, but he was utterly disappointed by the latters actions.

Hahaha! Xia Yu suddenly burst into laughter. Saliva flowed from the edges of his lips, and he looked as if he had lost his mind.

Hm? Elder Jinnan halted his movement.

The crowd frowned. Did that pill erode Xia Yus sanity and turn him into a fool?

Elder Jinnan, can we spare his life if he has truly lost his sanity? Xia Yun asked.

Before Elder Jinnan could reply, Abbess Moonchaser walked forward and took a closer look at Xia Yu. A moment later, she shook her head and said, I cant tell if hes faking it or not.

The Earth Corpse Gu Pill can indeed erode a persons sanity. He has never cultivated before, so its possible that hes unable to withstand the pills potency, Elder Jinnan murmured.

Li Guozhu and the others eyes lit up with hope. No matter what, Xia Yu was still their Great Xias crown prince. They were inclined to spare Xia Yu if he had truly lost his mind, especially since he wouldnt be able to do harm anymore.

Fang Chen walked up to Xia Yu and said, You have sinned too deeply. I have no reason to spare you whether you have truly lost your mind or not. Rather, itd be a humiliation to keep you alive when you have already turned into a fool.

Hehehe Xia Yu smiled foolishly back.

To Elder Jinnan, these 200 Purple Lightning Talismans proved that Fang Chen had a formidable background. At the very least, there was not a single sect in Infernoblaze with the means to take out 200 Purple Lightning Talismans like that.

I shant stand on ceremony. Elder Jinnan stowed the Purple Lightning Talismans into his storage ring. He then took out another storage ring and looked at Fang Chen and Abbess Moonchaser. This was left by that corpse cultivator. Shall we split the items inside equally among us?

We should. Abbess Moonchaser nodded.

The three of them assimilated the storage ring and took the items inside out to do a quick stock take. Inside the storage ring were 400 low-grade ki stones, a mid Yellow-tier flying sword with 26 daosoul imprints, and plenty of Blood Pills.

400 low-grade ki stoneshe must have robbed a lot of people, Elder Jinnan sneered. He was surprised by how wealthy the Foundation Establishment Blood Spirit Cultist was.

It wont be easy for us to divide this among ourselves. The flying sword is worth at least 1000 low-grade ki stones, and these Blood Pills are useless to us Abbess Moonchaser murmured.

I have taken advantage of Daoist Fang by taking 200 Purple Lightning Talismans from him. While the flying sword is formidable, it has been poisoned by corpse ki, such that it would have to be cleansed for years before it can be used. Itd be worth at most 700 to 800 low-grade ki stones in the market.

How about this? Ill throw in 400 low-grade ki stones and take the flying sword. I dont need the Blood Pill and the storage ring, Elder Jinnan said.

All right. Abbess Moonchaser accepted the offer without much hesitation.

Fang Chen took 400 low-grade ki stones and the storage ring, whereas Abbess Moonchaser took the Blood Pills and another 400 low-grade ki stones.

Daoist Fang, do drop by our South Heaven Sect if you have time, Elder Jinnan said.

After trading some pleasantries, he left the Fang Manor with his newly-accepted disciples.

Daoist Fang, this Spirit Gauging Bell isnt of high quality, and it has sustained considerable damage too. Ill gift it to you.

Abbess Moonchaser waited for Elder Jinnan to leave before taking out a Spirit Gauging Bell. It was only three meters tall, and it was covered with cracks. The daosoul imprints on it were not stable either.

It might be a trashy Spirit Gauging Bell, but it was still a rare artifact considering how not a single cultivator in Infernoblaze was capable of forging it. Abbess Moonchaser was being very generous by gifting it to him.

You have my gratitude. Fang Chen nodded with a smile.

He assimilated the Spirit Gauging Bell on the spot, which allowed him to freely control its size. He contracted it until it was around the size of his palm before storing it in his storage ring.

Abbess Moonchaser chuckled. She glanced at Abbess Clearlotus.

Fang Chen knew what she meant, so he said with a smile, Ill impart the Purple Lightning Talismans heritage to Abbess Clearlotus over the next few days.

Ill be counting on you then, Daoist Fang. Abbess Moonchaser smiled.
