Chapter 227: Old Daoist

Chapter 227: Old Daoist

Imperial Duke Fang! Xia Yuan stood up with an excited look.

If not for the person before him, he might still be living a life where he was bullied by little eunuchs. He would have never gotten a chance to sit on the throne and become the ruler of the country.

Imperial Duke Fang. The other officials clasped their fists and bowed.

Fang Chen had an unshakable position in Great Xia now, such that he couldnt be treated by normal terms. If he ordered to change the prime minister or even the emperor, it was unlikely that anyone in the imperial court would dare oppose him.

Hm? Whats so smelly?

The officials nearer to the door suddenly frowned, then they saw the peculiar-looking Liu Mu and gasped.

Liu Mu closely followed Fang Chen. His head was lowered, not daring to look at his surroundings. He was too unconfident. Each time he saw those eyes of disgust, he felt like a dagger had cut his heart.

Your Majesty, have you been well? Fang Chen asked with a smile.

Yes, I have been well, Xia Yuan hurriedly replied.

Thats good to hear. Fang Chen nodded.

He ordered Ji Lengxing and the Nightmare Knights to carry the boxes in.

The officials eyed the Nightmare Knights. They had received news about it from the moment they entered the capital, and they wondered about what Fang Chen did in Chillwater that the Nightmare Knights actually accompanied him back.

In these boxes are the martial arts foundation Chillwater has built up over the centuries, Fang Chen said.

Ah!

The crowd gasped in shock.

Imperial Duke Fang, is that for real? the Fifth King blurted out.

Minister of Justice Jiang Yushu walked out of the formation and slowly approached the boxes. He first glanced at Fang Chen, and it was only when the latter nodded that he opened one of the boxes.

The box was filled with martial arts manuals.

Its indeed Chillwaters martial arts manual. Jiang Yushu slowly nodded.

The crowd was excited. There were more than ten boxes in total; Fang Chen had practically plundered all of Chillwaters martial arts legacies!

This is wonderful! With this, our Great Xias national might will shoot right up! Tao Mingsheng and the others were overjoyed.

The officials could already imagine what kind of changes these martial arts manuals could bring to Great Xia. Some of their faces flushed red, and some even started to cry.

Yes, I am. Ji Lengxing nodded.

Chillwaters martial arts foundation is formidable. Youre so young, but youre already at Earth Profound realm, Huang Sihai said.

Youre one of the Dragon Generals serving Immortal Fang. Your future will only be brighter than mine, Ji Lengxing replied with a tinge of envy.

The Ji Clan had gathered and compiled information about Fang Chen following Ji Lengyues capture, so Ji Lengxing naturally knew about Huang Sihai.

Meanwhile, Xia Yuan couldnt help but glance at Liu Mu every now and then. There was no disgust in his eyes, just curiosity, but he dared not to voice his thoughts aloud.

Ask whats on your mind. You dont have to be so careful as an emperor, Fang Chen said.

Xia Yuan smiled sheepishly at Fang Chen before turning to Liu Mu. Imperial Duke Fang, what happened to him?

Liu Mu shuddered before further lowering his head.

Liu Mu is one of our people. His age should be around yours, but he was harmed by a malevolent cultivator, Fang Chen explained.

Ah, hes around the same age as me! Xia Yuan was taken aback. Wont his family be upset to see his current state

His family has been killed, Fang Chen replied.

This Xia Yuan was at a loss for words. He anxiously offered, Imperial Duke Fang, the imperial palace has many valuable medicinal herbs. Will those help to treat those tumors on his body?

It wont work. Those are mortal herbs. Fang Chen shook his head.

Xia Yuan sighed. He looked at Liu Mu and said, Rest assured, Liu Mu. Imperial Duke Fang possesses extraordinary means. Hell find a way to treat you.

Liu Mu slowly raised his head to look at Xia Yuan. It was only when he saw Xia Yuans clear eyes did he point to his throat and make a few Ah sounds.

The surrounding eunuchs and Valiant Defenders were startled to see that.

Hes only seven to eight years of age, but his family got killed, he was reduced to such a state, and hes a mute on top of that?

Young master, its that child?! Huang Sihai was momentarily stunned before rage flickered across his eyes. How did he end up like that? I thought he went to the South Heaven Sect to cultivate?

Id like to know what happened too, so Im planning on paying a visit to the South Heaven Sect soon and look for a treatment method while Im at it.

All of a sudden, Fang Chen opened his eyes. He channeled his spirit ki outward to protect the crowd.

Four earth dragons of over 300 meters tall rose from the ground and furiously thrashed around. Quite a few palace maids, eunuchs, and Valiant Defenders in the vicinity were crushed to death.

Five Elements Art.

Fang Chen looked in a certain direction, where an old daoist stood. The latter was also looking at Fang Chen with deep eyes.
