Chapter 205: A Fish Surmounting the Dragon’s Gate

Grar!

It had been a long time since the bat fae last sustained an injury. It shrieked in anger upon having its wing pierced by the little sword, releasing a terrifying sonic pulse.

Pu!

Fang Chen felt his innards jolt. He was protecting his body with his spirit ki, but the impact still made him spew blood.

Just a single shriek from the bat fae was enough to injure him!

The martial artists that were scattering all around halted their footsteps and looked over with looks of fear. That howl had been terrifying for them too. Despite being far away, they still felt their blood being jolted into disarray. Some of them even suffered injuries as a result!

Continue, dont stop! Ji Junhua roared. Dont forget what our goal here is. Leave the rest to young master Fang and our Old Master!

Yes, master!

The bat fae screeched ceaselessly in hopes of pushing the little sword back via its sonic pulses, but each time it screeched, the little sword would pierce through its body once.

Fang Chen continuously channeled his spirit ki to protect himself. Initially, each sonic pulse would cause a crack in his protective layer of spirit ki, but he quickly noticed that the bat faes sonic pulse was weakening over time.

This meant that little swords attacks were working!

Little sword, attack its vitals! Fang Chen ordered.

Pu!

Boom!

The bat faes giant body fell heavily on the ground, creating a pit over ten meters deep. Its forehead had been punctured, and fresh blood and brain matter spurted out from the wound.

The little sword remained pristine without the slightest blood on it. It happily surged over to Fang Chens side as if asking for a reward.

Hungry, eat, hungry, eat

This fae is not bad. You dont want to eat it? Fang Chen tried asking.

Uweh Disgusting The little sword shook sidewards.

You dont take organic food. Got it.

He still remembered how Immortal Zuo had been put in a difficult spot when he entered this place back then, such that he dared not enter it a second time. It looks like there can be a huge gap even among immortals.

The stone fae spent several seconds staring deeply at Fang Chen before taking its leave.

Ji Congyuns lips quivered. It took a few moments before he bitterly remarked, I see that even the faes here fear young master Fang.

Try my tea. Fang Chen pushed the teacup over.

Ji Congyun sat down and downed the tea. He didnt hesitate despite the tea being steaming hot. He drank several cups consecutively before finally exhaling deeply.

Elder Ji, theres something Id like to discuss with you, Fang Chen said.

Speak your mind, young master Fang, Ji Congyun replied.

Why dont your Ji Clan switch over to serving our Great Xias imperial family? Fang Chen smiled. Your Chillwaters imperial family is lacking, be it their potential or foundation.

Ji Congyun maintained an impassive face, but a storm was brewing in his heart. Is Fang Chen coveting our Chillwater?

Sweat dripped from his forehead. He secretly eyed Fang Chen in his peripheral vision, but the latter seemed more focused on brewing his tea.

It was moments later before Ji Congyun finally replied, Young master Fang, Chillwater has a long history behind it. The Ji Clan might have its conflicts with the imperial family, but those are still internal matters. It would be a different story if Great Xia joins the picture. It would spell the end of Chillwater. I dont think our populace can accept that.

Isnt it up to Ji Clan to decide what the populace thinks? Fang Chen chuckled. Chillwater will be a vassal to our Great Xia in name, but itll be under your Ji Clans rule. Our Great Xia wont interfere in your internal affairs. All you need to do is pay us annual tribute.

Young master Fang, what if I refuse? Ji Congyuns complexion didnt look too good.

Elder Ji, you have lived for a long time. Your eyes might have turned turbid, but your heart is clearer than ever. Perhaps, in the near future, your Ji Clan might be blessed with cultivators, Fang Chen replied with a smile.

Boom!

Those words raised tsunamis in Ji Congyuns heart. Irrepressible greed flashed across his eyes.

Young master Fang, will you bestow our Ji Clansmen with a fortuitous encounter if I accept your request? Ji Congyun tried his best to maintain his composure, but his voice wouldnt stop quivering.

Chillwater meant nothing at all compared to a chance to pursue immortality. If Ji Clan could nurture a few cultivators, they could transcend the limitations of a grade-8 state and perhaps even tower above grade-7 states too.

It was an opportunity to rise to greatness! He had to carefully think things through.

Fang Chen nodded with a smile. As long as you agree, Ill choose a few decent ones from your younger clansmen and impart them with a cultivation method.

I fear my agreement wont be enough. Chillwater is backed by the grade-7 White Tiger Empire. They wont allow such a thing to happen, Ji Congyun replied.

Fang Chen smiled. Ji Congyun had started thinking on Great Xias behalf.
