Chapter 451: Can the Dead Come Back to Life?

Fang Chen stood in mid-air as he silently observed the scene below. "It's quite a strange feeling to be alive and witness my own funeral."

His body lay horizontally in a jade coffin that was made out of a specially crafted material that preserved his body from decay. That was something sponsored by the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. Many people came today, including Golden Core Realm cultivators and Foundation Building Realm cultivators. Even though the procession had left the inner capital, there were still numerous people gathered outside the capital. Everyone remained silent, with no one daring to make noise at this moment.

Fang Chen paid attention to their expressions. Be it mortal or cultivator, about eighty to ninety percent of them showed gratitude. However, there were some cultivators who subtly took joy in his death, which was understandable as they were descendants of the five major families. There were even some whose eyes showed resentment as they looked at him. There were about five individuals who looked at him that way. Their cultivations weren't that high, merely at the Qi Refinement Realm. Without surprise, they were remnants of the Spirit Blood Sect.

Fang Chen retracted his gaze from them. "Too bad they can't hear what I'm saying, but... just five Qi Refining Realm cultivators won't be able to cause trouble in the Imperial Capital of Great Qian anytime soon."

The procession had now reached the city gate of the outer capital. The three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators stopped and watched as Fairy Yu and the others received the jade coffin from the Fang Family members.

Fang Tingjian looked toward Fairy Yu and the rest of them. “Everyone, do you really not want me to escort you? He's a Fang Family member. The family's blood runs through him.”

Fairy Yu's face was cold. "Don't bother. If the lord hadn't come to Great Qian to acknowledge his ancestry, he wouldn't have ended up like this."

She then turned to look at the jade coffin containing Fang Chen. She wanted to touch his face, but the coffin was in the way.

"Let's go, let's go," whispered Xia Ji, then nodded lightly to Wu Ruochou in the crowd. "Senior sister, wait for me here. I'll come back to find you after I send Fang Da off."

Wu Ruochou's eyes were somewhat distracted. "Junior brother, there’s only the two of us left. You must remember to come back."

Xia Ji nodded. "Definitely."

"I'll also accompany the lord," suddenly came Fang Qingyao's voice as she walked over and looked at Fairy Yu.

"You?" Fairy Yu was indifferent, but she observed Fang Qingyao for a moment before nodding slightly. "Regardless, you have walked this path, and the lord has also put in some effort for you. It's reasonable for you to accompany him."

The sixth princess said hesitantly, "Third Brother..."

Xia Ji said with a smile, "Sixth Sister, follow Immortal Firecloud diligently. Don't slack off in your cultivation."

The sixth princess nodded slightly after a moment of silence.

Immortal White Tiger was somewhat shocked. "Does this mean that the Spirit Blood Sect won't be causing trouble in the Hidden Cloud Region anymore?"

Immortal Void Rush nodded lightly. "Some minor disturbances are inevitable, but using the Hidden Cloud Region as a base is no longer possible."

Upon hearing that, Fang Tingjian, Fang Wanli, Princess Shenlong, Immortal Tianwu, Jiang Shun, and other Golden Core Realm cultivators breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Chen's eyes brightened. "So the Spiritual Killing Division still has such a purpose."

It was evident that there were Killing Spiritual Division cultivators in various places. They were colleagues of Immortal Void Rush, and with them responsible for spreading the word, the Spirit Blood Sect's conspiracy would soon be exposed to the public!

After pondering for a moment, Fang Chen bowed to Immortal Void Rush and the others before turning to catch up with the others leaving with the jade coffin.

"My soul has not been extinguished, and if my body doesn't decay, there's still a chance for me to revive. If that doesn't work, I'll follow the example of Supreme Immortal Pudu and find a suitable body to possess. But living people won't do; I'll need someone who died recently. I'll see If I can take over a body like that" Fang Chen contemplated quietly while sitting on the jade coffin.

The Kunlong Dragon Battle General had seen him in his infancy and knew about the existence of Grand Xia. Besides Xia Xuanji, he was probably the one in the Spirit Blood Sect who understood Fang Chen's secrets the most.

"Their plans this time around were disrupted, so they might take it out on Grand Xia. If I manage to come back to life, I might have a way to deal with it. If not...."

Fang Chen looked toward Xia Ji. With his brain, he should be able to figure it out.

Suddenly, Xia Ji looked towards the female sword cultivator. "The Kunlong Battle General has been to Grand Xia and knows that Fang Chen is from there. He might seek revenge for this. Could you help out and ask a few senior sword cultivators to assist?"

Fairy Yu’s expression brightened and looked at the female sword cultivator immediately. "Senior sister, my roots are in Grand Xia!"

"Since you are a disciple of the Void Immortal Sword Sect, then Grand Xia is the ancestral home of the Void Immortal Sword Sect. How can we, as sword cultivators, allow our ancestral home to be insulted?" The female sword cultivator coldly snorted. "You don't have to remind me. I have already communicated within the sect. Senior sword cultivators will come to join us. At that time..."

She glanced at Fang Chen's coffin, then at Fairy Yu. "We need to talk about that sword embryo. If you know anything, speak up. The elders won't make things difficult for you."

Fairy Yu replied softly, "I don't know much about his situation. But if you can bring him back, I believe he will tell us the truth."

The female sword cultivator sighed inwardly, not saying more. She knew Fairy Yu was pinning her hopes on the senior of the sword sect. But... can the dead really come back to life?
