Chapter 213: They Found Us!
Fang Chen had Zhao Yan open the crates to take a look.
Moments later, Zhao Yan reported, Young master, 136 of the books are martial cultivation methods, of which, 3 can reach pinnacle Earth Profound realm. 437 of the books are martial arts manuals, and their grade varies.
Fang Chen looked at Ji Congyun and said, Make haste with the remaining three-tenths. Ill be taking these back to Great Xia first.
Rest assured, young master. Ill capture them. Ji Congyun nodded. Then, he hesitantly asked, Young master, the immortal cultivation method
No rush. Fang Chen waved his hand.
Ji Congyun dared not to push his luck.
The following day, a platoon of Nightmare Knights escorted a group out of Chillwaters capital.
The Crane Forest Valley was a place that couldnt be circumvented when traveling between Chillwater and Great Xia. Fang Chen and the others had also passed by this area when they previously headed to Chillwater.
Sometimes, ferocious beasts would be spotted in this region.
In the carriage, a little sword weaved in between the cracks in Fang Chens fingers swiftly but precisely, not hurting him in the least. Its aura had grown stronger after devouring two artifacts, but Fang Chen was still unable to see the daosoul imprints on it.
Sword cultivator Fang Chen murmured.
He still remembered Senior Brother Zhou and Senior Sister Wangs attitudes toward sword cultivators, and that piqued his interest in this specialization. Why are those two arrogant fellows so intimidated by sword cultivators?
Sword cultivator appears to be a path that focuses on extreme offense. I should give it a try if an opportunity arises, Fang Chen muttered.
After playing for a short while, the little sword started growling once more, Hungry, hungry
You I doubt that I can satisfy you even if I have a mountain of gold, Fang Chen remarked with a helpless sigh.
It was fortunate he still had 1000 low-grade ki stones. He could drop by Dragonback Lane to make some purchases. Perhaps, he might just be able to acquire some better talisman papers and cinnabar.
We have four Longevity Ki martial artiststwo for Fang Chen, and two for his followers. The rest is enough to deal with the Nightmare Knights. However, itll be a different story if Ji Congyun is here too, another Longevity Ki martial artist said.
I reckon hes having delusions of grandeur on his throne. The white-haired old man harrumphed. He might be a wily old fox, but hell never guess that wed ambush Fang Chen here. Our vengeance is of secondary importance here. Fang Chen has with him 70% of Chillwater's martial arts legacy. We have to destroy them, else Earth Profound realm martial artists will start appearing in Great Xia.
The old woman and the other two Longevity Ki martial artists jolted, then they lowered their heads in contemplation. Slowly, their eyes firmed up.
Forgotten Sea Sect Master is right. Ji Congyun plans to sell our foundation to Great Xia. We cant let that old scum succeed. We need to stop our martial arts legacies from flowing into Great Xia.
We have to take this risk for Chillwaters continued prosperity.
Seeing that he had convinced the others, the white-haired old man smiled. His eyes remained firmly on Fang Chens group all this while to follow their movements.
Theres a narrow gorge ahead. Well make a move there, the white-haired old man said.
All right!
Meanwhile, Fang Chen was watching the white-haired old man and the others from the sky. Upon hearing their ploy, he couldnt help but be impressed. These martial artists sure are loyal to put their lives on the line to ambush me for their countrys interest.
His soul returned to his body, and he said, Theres an ambush ahead. Be careful.
The crowd was startled.
Zhao Yan turned grim. He focused on his ears, and he vaguely picked up on heartbeats from the surroundings.
An ambush? Ji Lengxings face darkened. He glanced at Xu Qingfeng with a tinge of pity in his eyes.
Xu Qingfeng looked flustered. He turned to Ji Lengxing and asked, Lengxing, would someone really ambush us here? Could young master Fang be mistaken? Who would dare to ambush us given Chillwaters current political climate?
Qingfeng, you chose the wrong side. Ji Lengxing sighed.
Xu Qingfengs face darkened. He instinctively swung his sword at Ji Lengxing while bellowing, They found us!
