Chapter 392: The Rude Youngster

"To be able to leave under my watch, this person is not simple." Qi You frowned slightly.

Shopkeeper Lin's heart sank.

How did he escape? What if he comes after us later?

"Wait here for me." With a cold snort, Qi You suddenly transformed into a streak of rainbow and left the valley.

About two hours later. Qi You returned to the valley, his expression somewhat grim. Seeing that, Shopkeeper Lin knew that he hadn’t found the person.

Qi You said indifferently, "Take me back to Heavenly Treasure Pavilion."

"Yes..." Shopkeeper Lin quickly nodded his head.

The voice of Little Sword echoed in Fang Chen's ear. "Little Chen, why didn't you stay and fight him? We had a chance if we used the Eight Desolation Supreme Sword Scripture."

Little Sword had been brimming with fighting spirit ever since it advanced to the third rank.

Fang Chen smiled. "The benefits we obtained are plenty enough. My sword body has advanced to the third rank, and we've gained 70,000 low-grade spirit stones, several top-grade, yellow-rank treasures, and more than a dozen mid-grade, yellow-rank treasures.

"Not to mention the many spiritual materials, pills, and the formation inheritance. Why should we stay and fight a mid stage Golden Core Realm cultivator? I don't know his full capabilities, nor what other cards he holds. Winning brings us little benefit, and a loss could spell the end of us."

Mirror of the Universe chimed in there. "It’s good that you’re cautious and prudent, young one. If you were as reckless as some, you’d soon find yourself in trouble."

Immediately, Little Sword started bickering with it again.

Fang Chen couldn't be bothered with them. He transformed into a sword and hurried back toward the Great Qian Imperial Capital. In the Great Qian Empire.

"The young master has been in seclusion for nearly two months now...."

Li Cang glanced at the Fang Chen's room, his expression somewhat grave.

The trade conference was about to begin, and in recent days, many cultivators had come from many different empires. Some were from sixth-tier empires, some from fifth-tier empires.

There were new faces visiting the Fang Family almost every day.

Chang Feilan knew that there wasn't anything she could say to sway him, so she sighed and went to fetch medicine for Jiang Tianai.

Fang Chen nodded lightly from the shadows.

"Li Cang has already become a Martial Emperor. Not bad."

Li Cang's aura was several times stronger than before, and it was clear that he had advanced from Royal Qi to Imperial Qi and was now a Martial Emperor. Once a martial artist reached that stage, it meant that their foundation had reached the peak.

Fang Chen returned to his room and split his divine soul from his body.

He had noticed the prominent palm print on Jiang Tianai’s cheek.

That person hadn't held back at all; otherwise, the palm print wouldn’t have lasted so long on a Qi Refining Realm cultivator like Jiang Tianai.

Fang Chen's gaze shifted to the reception hall where several Golden Core Realm auras were present, one of which was even comparable to Fang Tingjian's.

Late-stage Golden Core Realm?

Fang Chen's divine soul arrived in the hall, where many Foundation Building Realm cultivators from the Fang Family were gathered.

Fang Ao and his wife looked extremely displeased as they stood behind Fang Wanli, their gazes occasionally falling on a young female cultivator not far away.

The young female cultivator appeared indifferent. Her eyes were filled with arrogance, and she'd occasionally cast disdainful looks at everyone present.

She was accompanied by several similar arrogant-looking young cultivators, all of whom were at the Foundation Building Realm.

Fang Tingjian was quietly conversing with an old man, who wore a faint smile on his face and was listening quietly.

Fang Tingjian sighed softly. “Daoist Jiang, this was just a bit of friction between the younger generation, and there was no need for us to intervene, but... your disciple went a bit too far with her actions.”

Fang Chen's attention shifted to Fang Yun. She was pale-faced, and her vitality was deficient. She had obviously sustained internal injuries that affected her cultivation base.

Even Fang Jue, who was known for his good temperament, was visibly angry.

The old man suddenly chuckled. "Daoist Fang, perhaps it's best for us old folks not to meddle in this matter. Why not let the younger generation resolve it themselves? I know my disciple has quite the temper, so if someone from the Fang Family can discipline her and teach her that there are always greater talents out there, it would be considered a good lesson for her."

The young female cultivator chuckled lightly. "Master, I've already reached the 12th stage of Qi Refining Realm. Perhaps only Foundation Building Realm cultivators would be able to match me here."

What a rude junior! thought the Foundation Building Realm cultivators of the Fang Family in unison.
