Chapter 281: Facing the Enemy Together, No Regrets in Death

"We're finished! We're finished!" Zhong Yue and the other two were sweating buckets. The Heavenly Southern Sect was the largest sect in the south, and it had a senior at the grand completion stage of Foundation Building Realm at its helm! Now that their sect leader had killed one of their disciples, that senior will differently not sit still! They were definitely done for!

Jin Nan's expression shifted erratically, bewildered. He never expected Fang Chen to actually make a move out of the blue like this!

Finally, after a brief moment of pin-drop silence, all hell broke loose. The disciples stared at Fang Chen with fury spilling out of their eyes.

"Kill him! Avenge Senior Brother Feng!"

"Didn’t I tell you that there will be a good show?” Daoist Ya’s expression was strange. “But it looks like the swordsman has some kind of vendetta with the Heavenly Southern Sect?"

Elder Su and the others looked at each other, but they remained seated. They weren’t planning on getting involved in any of this.

Fang Chen turned to the sixth king, a smile on his face. "Was that performance to your liking?”

The sixth king fixed his gaze on Fang Chen, and his lips suddenly curved. "You think that’ll scare me? I want to see how you’ll talk this one out with the Heavenly Southern Sect." He then looked at the Foundation Building Realm disciples of the Heavenly Southern Sect, who had already surrounded Fang Chen’s jade platform. "He killed one of your disciples in your very own sect. Let's see how you’ll handle this."

The faces of the Foundation Building Realm disciples were very ugly. Glancing at the corpse sprawled on the floor, they turned their heads toward Fang Chen slowly, their eyes filled with dread.

This was supposedly the Qingzhou Sword Sect Master. It was necessary to determine the relationship between him and Long Tianxing before they did anything.

One of them had seen Jin Nan speak with Fang Chen before, so he figured they were acquainted. He looked at Jin Nan. "Elder Jin Nan, who exactly is this? And why did he kill one of our disciples?"

Jin Nan's face fell.

Worried about Fang Chen’s backing, he decided to sit on the fence on this one."There should be a misunderstanding somewhere," he said.

Everyone was stunned.

A misunderstanding?

How could an Elder of the Heavenly Southern Sect say this when one of their disciples had just been killed in their sect?!

As shocked as the Foundation Building disciples were, they weren’t idiots, so they were quick to notice that something was afoot here, and they eyed Fang Chen suspiciously.

Xia Yu and Liu Suifeng looked at each other and saw the deep horror in each other's eyes. "Who exactly is he?!"

A Foundation Building Realm cultivator couldn’t take that, and he barked, "A misunderstanding!” Turning to Elder Jin Nan slowly, he thundered, “Feng Buping was my disciple! And this person just killed him right in front of me! What misunderstanding could there be!"

Everyone was dumbfounded to hear that.

How could it be him?!

Recalling one point, Xia Yu took a cold breath. He turned to the two beside him and they all saw the shock in each other's eyes. The way Fang Chen killed Feng Buping... it felt very familiar; they had seen it once, in that place!

"This doesn't make any sense..." said the sixth princess under her breath.

It was then that Pancake Zhang suddenly left the side of Elder Su and walked up to Fang Chen. With clasped hands, he bowed. "Zhang Xiaoke pays respects to you, my lord."

"Isn't that Elder Su's promising new disciple?"

"He knows him, too?"

"What’s he doing? Even if he knows him, he can’t go greeting him right now!”

Whispers erupted among the guests.

Elder Su furrowed her brow even more, but she didn't say anything. Meanwhile, Yan Ruyue beside her seemed lost in thought.

"How could it be him...?" murmured Daoist Ya.

Looking at Pancake Zhang for a moment, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Fang Chen’s lips. "Silly child,” he called. “Why would you let everyone learn that you know me in this situation?"

Zhang Xiaoke smiled. "I am delighted to see you here. If I can join hands with you to face the enemy today, I will have no regrets even in death."

The faces of Zhong Yue and the other two froze. The genius Spirit Beast Valley had just recruited was willing to stand against the Heavenly Southern Sect with their leader? That was tantamount to betraying the Spirit Beast Valley! They had never heard of such a thing ever happening in the empire before!

This guy had just stepped onto the first stage of the Qi Refining Realm, yet he had not only almost defected from his sect, but he had also dared to oppose the Heavenly Southern Sect!

Everyone suddenly swiveled their heads to look at Elder Su subconsciously.

Elder Su’s face grew uglier by the second. She glared at Zhang Xiaoke hotly. "If you come back right this second, I will pretend I didn’t hear what you just said.”

Zhang Xiaoke looked at Elder Su, his smile apologetic. "Master, my life was given by my lord. I can only return it to him if need be,” he said. “You’ve always taken good care of me back at the sect—which I am eternally grateful to you for. I hope we can be master and disciple in the next life too.”

The sixth princess was stunned. Why... would a street vendor from Grand Xia be willing to face death with Fang Chen?
