Chapter 209: You Said It

Chapter 209: You Said It

Lord Immortals, this way please.

Chillwaters emperor was being exceptionally respectful, but none of the officials thought that he was being too subservient. They thought that immortals rightfully deserved such treatment.

Senior Brother Zhou and Senior Sister Wang chuckled as they settled into their seats together with Han Qin and Lin Li.

Delicacies were soon served, and dance artisans began their performance.

The atmosphere slowly lightened up, but Han Qin continued glaring at Fang Chen with unblinking eyes.

Youre Fang Chen? she suddenly asked.

The atmosphere plunged into silence. Everyone turned to look at Fang Chen and Han Qin, knowing what was going to happen next could dictate their Chillwaters future.

You are? Fang Chen smiled.nove(l)bi(n.)com

Immortal Fang, shes our Chillwaters Fourth Princess, Ji Congyun replied.

He had made sure to emphasize the word immortal in his words, thinking that this would humble their enemies, but Senior Brother Zhou and Senior Sister Wang only looked at him with unflinching smiles.

Ji Congyun eyes skipped a beat. He was familiar with that smile. Only someone whos certain everything is in their grasp will reveal such a smile!

Ah, so its Chillwaters Fourth Princess. Youve reached Heaven Profound realm despite your young age. Not bad, Fang Chen calmly remarked.

Han Qin made no attempt to conceal her killing intent. She glared at Fang Chen with frigid eyes as she said, I have been close with my big brother from a young age, and he has always doted on me too. We might not be from the same mother, but were closer than blood kin.

Your big brother? Ah, Chillwaters crown prince? Fang Chen asked with a light chuckle.

Fang Chens light-hearted attitude made Han Qins anger erupt like a volcano. Unable to control her emotions anymore, her severing ki flowed out and enveloped her body.

Is this the prowess of Heaven Profound realm? The martial artists in the room trembled.

Severing ki was clearly much stronger than longevity ki. The martial artists felt immense stress even though Han Qin hadnt made a move yet. Even Ji Congyun was startled. He gauged that he wouldnt even last ten blows against Han Qin.

Men! Han Qin suddenly bellowed.

Four eunuchs solemnly carried a coffin into the room.

The officials were startled to see that. This was the very palace where they held imperial assemblies to discuss national affairs. It was a room with a long history, and it was rightfully bound by many traditions too.

Yet, Han Qin had someone carry a coffin into such a solemn room?

Are the two of you that close that youre willing to die for him? Fang Chen asked. His composed voice formed a stark contrast to Han Qins furious words.

Kowtow, and Ill let you die a dignified death. Otherwise, Ill slowly rip out your flesh over ten days and send our Chillwater soldiers to massacre everyone in your Great Xia! Han Qin spat coldly.

Are you two here to back her? A mere martial artist cant hope to hurt me, Fang Chen asked the two cultivators.

You shouldnt underestimate Heaven Profound realm martial artists. Many unaffiliated cultivators have died to them, Senior Brother Zhou replied with a chuckle. Be my guest if you wish to make a move.

Very well. Fang Chen nodded.

There was a cold flash of light.

Han Qins body abruptly stiffened up, then her body topplied into the coffin. Pinkish-white fluid flowed from an incision in her forehead.

What?!

The crowd gasped in horror. They couldnt believe what they had just seen.

A Heaven Profound realm martial artist died just like this?!

Chillwaters emperor, who thought that victory was in his grasp, turned ghastly pale. He stared at Han Qins corpse with incredulous eyes.

Qiner?! Lin Li shot to his feet and exclaimed. It took a moment before it sunk in that Han Qin was dead, and tears streamed from his eyes. Amid heavy breaths, he glared at Fang Chen with eyes filled with rage and sorrow. Y-you Ill kill you!!!

Lin Li charged at Fang Chen in anger, only for Senior Brother Zhou to pull him back.

You arent a match for him. Hes not that simple, Senior Brother Zhou said. He turned to Fang Chen and asked, What sect are you from?

Im an unaffiliated cultivator. I dont have any sect. Fang Chen smiled.

Youre really an unaffiliated cultivator? Senior Brother Zhou frowned, unsure whether Fang Chen was speaking the truth or not.

Senior Sister Wang glanced at Han Qins corpse before looking at Fang Chen with cold eyes. Shes the follower I chose. You owe me an explanation for killing my follower.

Two black-armored zombies overflowing with corpse ki suddenly appeared behind her. They stood with their heads lowered, and they had incomparably sharp black nails that gleamed with a cold light. They gave off an awful stench that could only be smelled from those who had died for some time.

This sight shocked everyone.

Lets not implicate the innocent. Come out with me, Senior Sister Wang said as she headed out of the palace.

The two corpses staggered behind her. Each step they took produced a sound reminiscent of a rock clanging against metal.
