Chapter 434: Gone mad! Everyone’s gone mad!
Fang Chen immediately used his divine soul to search for traces of Abbess Zhu Yue and the others as he instructed Xia Ji to look for them.
They didn't know how many Spirit Blood Sect cultivators there were in Grand Qian, so their best bet to stay safe was for everyone to be bunched up together.
Fortunately, Abbess Zhu Yue and the others were prepared, and they approached Fang Chen immediately upon seeing the black mist appear.
The sixth princess followed Xia Ji, her eyes filled with shock. "Third Brother, what's going on? Someone dared to attack... a Nascent Soul Realm expert?"
"Grand Qian is going to be in chaos, so be prepared," said Xia Ji, but he didn't explain further. After seeing Abbess Zhuyue and the others, he led them towards Fang Chen.
"Grand Qian is going to be in chaos?! What about Master...?"
Xia Ji explained, "Your Master is safe in the Profound Void Temple. My master is not someone to be trifled with either."
It was only when the sixth princess heard this that her expression eased a little and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Everyone, don't panic!"
The voice of Grand Qian’s ancestor, Qian Wuji, spread throughout the entire capital. He stood together with Princess Shenlong, their gazes solemn as they looked at the black mist.
Fortunately, the range of the black mist had not expanded. At this moment, the black mist had become the battleground of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, and it won't affect the outside world.
Fang Wanli was dumbfounded. "Uncle, what's going on? Could it be that Immortal Void Rush has made some enemies?"
Fang Tingjian's expression was serious. "Don't ask, don't speak. Just watch."
At that moment, a Golden Core Realm cultivator suddenly screamed and his head fell to the ground, his body torn apart.
“He Dongzhe, what are you doing!?”
"What am I doing? Naturally, I'm refining pills."
He Dongze, a mid-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator from a certain tier-five empire, sneered and once again attacked the Golden Core Realm cultivators around him. As soon as he made a move, the Golden Core Realm cultivators in the early stage around him couldn't stop him at all. In just a few breaths, another one died.
He Dongze was like a race's kickstarter. After he made a move, Golden Core Realm cultivators around him started making their move and attacking.
Dozens of Golden Core Realm cultivators died in the blink of an eye.
"What about my parents...?" said Fang Yun as she subconsciously searched for them in the chaotic crowd.
"Don't worry about them. Your father is at the Foundation Building Realm and will be able to bring your mother away safely. Right now, take care of yourself first. Fang Jue, take her and leave quickly," Fang Chen commanded.
“Yes!”
The crowd hurriedly ran in the Fang Family's direction. Fortunately, the Spirit Blood Sect cultivators who appeared were all Golden Core Realm cultivators and were also on the main battlefield, not far from the black mist. Therefore, they encountered no obstacles on their way back.
Along the way, Fang Chen noticed that Fairy Yu and the female sword cultivator were nearby, but he didn't pay attention to them. Staying near that female sword cultivator was the safest option for Fairy Yu. Unless a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator made a move, who could harm a Golden Core Realm sword cultivator?
Tong Baizhou looked thoughtfully at the departing figures of Fang Chen and the others with a thoughtful gaze. He turned to his father, Tong Hu, and smiled. "Dad, they've retreated. Shall we go over and find them?"
Tong Hu nodded lightly and followed him. "Mm."
"Dad, we must get our hands on that Dragon Bone Heavenly Lantern. That’s a precious treasure. As for Fang Chen, we should eliminate him to prevent future troubles. Plus, when the senior of Jue Wudi comes, we'll have an explanation," Tong Baizhou communicated through voice transmission as they walked.
"I don't know why, but I always feel that something is off about Fang Chen. Do you think he might know about the Spirit Blood Sect?" Tong Baizhou inquired as they moved.
Tong Hu's face carried a faint smile. "No matter what, today will be the day he dies."
He glanced back at the black mist behind them with a hint of reverence. "The Kunlong Battle General has made a move, and the three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators have been restrained. They won't be able to provide reinforcement for a short time." Pausing for a moment, he added, "And our people have all made their moves today. Soon, whether they are cultivators or mortals in the inner and outer cities, they will all be refined into Blood Spirit Pills."
“From here on, the Hidden Cloud Region won't be peaceful anymore.”
Tong Baizhou grinned strangely. “Well, that's great then. I'm tired of staying in Grand Qian. When the Hidden Cloud Region becomes a furnace, you will also benefit a lot, right? My cultivation should also advance significantly.”
Halfway through, they encountered the ancestor of the Heavenly Southern Sect and Yu Yuefan.
“Jue Wudi is my third junior brother,” the ancestor of the Heavenly Southern Sect said in just one sentence, confirming their identities.
“Are you planning to personally avenge him?” Tong Hu asked lightly, but his eyes carried a hint of vigilance.
Since the other person was Jue Wudi's senior brother, naturally, he was also that person’s junior brother, and that person... had a respectable status among all the battle generals. Even Kunlong Battle General would find it difficult to compare.
The Ancestor of the Heavenly Southern Sect nodded lightly. “Yes, I will personally take his head and present it to my eldest senior brother.”
Yu Yuefan looked utterly confused. From start to finish, he had no idea what was happening.
