Chapter 166: Seeking Ease of Mind

Great Mountain Tiger wouldnt stop growling. Big Brother, we cant speak in the human tongue. You rip him a new one on our behalf!

Azure Sky angrily hissed back as well. Big Brother, we embarrassed ourselves huge this time. You need to hurl a threat or two back so that we dont look too bad. Our master is looking at us right now!

Victorious Buddha glared at Zhao Yan, but he was unable to speak a word. There was no denying that they had lost. All this while, they thought that no one aside from Fang Chen could curb them in Great Xia.

Now, it was clear that their world had been too small. Even human martial artists were capable of crushing them.

You cant hurt them because they are protected by spirit ki, but you can only exert inner ki. Fang Chen walked over.

Zhao Yans longevity ki couldnt stop Fang Chens footsteps. The latter leisurely walked up to the three faes and lightly tapped his finger.

The boundless longevity ki dissipated!

Master! The three faes bowed in shame.

Hes at pinnacle Earth Profound realm. Its normal for you to be subdued by him. You should be able to defeat him with ease once you manifest a few more immortal veins, Fang Chen said.

Big brother! Fang Zhixue was overjoyed. We are safe now that my big brother is here!

Imperial Duke Fang.

Zhao Yan stared at Fang Chen for a short moment before slowly clasping his fist and bowing. The way Fang Chen had dissipated his longevity ki earlier raised waves of shock within him.

Imperial Duke Fang is different from how I imagined him to be His means arent as simple as the rumors put them out to be.

Zhao Yan, I heard about your affairs. I didnt think there would be a pinnacle Earth Profound realm martial artist like you in Great Xia, Fang Chen said.

My affairs? Zhao Yan smiled self-deprecatingly. How much could Imperial Duke Fang know about my affairs? Since you personally came here, Ill let you take Fang Zhixue away with you. However, I hope that you wont intervene in the affairs between me and the Auspicious King.

Is that so? Fang Chen chuckled. A Longevity Ki martial artist like you do have the right to say such words but why dont you cross blows with this subordinate of mine first? Its not too late for you to say those words after you defeat him?

He took out the Greenwood Puppet, and it quickly morphed into a middle-aged man that quietly stood beside him.

His means of conjuring a human out of thin air baffled even Zhao Yan, let alone Xia He.

Enough. Fang Chen clapped his hand.

The Greenwood Puppet transformed into a whiff of smoke that disappeared in his sleeves.

Zhao Yan was shocked beyond words.

It took a moment before he snapped out of it and said, As expected of the much revered Imperial Duke Fang. I would have never believed that you are capable of such mystical means if I hadnt seen it with my own eyes. May I ask if this is still the means of a martial artist?

It isnt martial arts, Fang Chen calmly replied.

I see. Zhao Yan slowly nodded.

I presume youre willing to speak now. Whats your goal for kidnapping the two of them? Are you exacting vengeance on Xia Song for not standing up for you? Fang Chen asked.

I would have long made a move if vengeance is what I sought, Zhao Yan replied with a laugh. He looked at Fang Chen and suddenly bowed deeply. I only resorted to this underhanded move because I wanted to meet you, Imperial Duke Fang.

Fang Zhixue was startled. So hes after me, after all?

You could have looked for me at the Fang Manor, but you chose this solution, Fang Chen placidly pointed out.

I didnt know what kind of person you are, and there is no point looking for you if you arent able to find this place, Zhao Yan quietly replied.

I dont like this. Fang Chen shook his head.

He ordered Victorious Buddha to carry Fang Zhixue and Xia He before he turned around and left.

Zhao Yan stared at their departing silhouettes in confusion. A second later, a bitter smile formed on his face. He realized that he had angered Fang Chen. Letting out a deep sigh, he first bowed at the cavern behind him before quickly following Fang Chen.

Why are you following me? Fang Chen asked. Youre a fugitive. Youll be executed if youre caught.

I know. Zhao Yan nodded. Theres no point keeping my head if I cant wash away my grievances this time.

Is there a need for that? The world is huge, and someone of your capabilities can thrive wherever you go, Fang Chen pointed out.

I just want ease of mind, Zhao Yan replied.
