Chapter 461: Return to Grand Qian, Things Have Changed

Fang Chen, along with the three demons, took a trip back to the capital. Huang Sihai and the others had indeed handled the affairs of the Eternal Cemetery very well. In just half a month, tens of thousands of deceased soldiers had been claimed.

Upon learning that Fang Chen was leaving on another journey and taking the three demons with him, Xu Ge and Huang Sihai grew envious.

After Fang Chen and the others left, Zhao Yan quietly bid farewell to Huang Sihai and the others, deciding to stay in the Southern Region.

Fang Chen's destination was Grand Qian once again. He wanted to see if Xia Ji was still there. He also planned to pass through Grand Qian to reach Jade Void Mountain in the Azure Cloud Empire, bringing the three demons to see Immortal White Tiger.

A month later, one man and three demons arrived at Grand Qian.

Looking at the bustling imperial capital, the three demons were secretly awestruck. Their journey had already broadened their horizons, and they had even learned that a country dominated by demon cultivators existed when they passed through Qinghu Country. Nevertheless, it still paled in comparison to the imperial capital of Grand Qian.

Victorious Buddha, Tiger Mountain Lord, and Profound Green attracted a bit of attention because of their appearance. Fortunately, there were quite a few demon cultivators in Grand Qian, so people only gave them a casual glance and then minded their own business. Staring at cultivators could be interpreted as a hostile act, which could spell trouble when they had no clue what other cultivators were capable of. That's why many cultivators were careful not to stare at others.

Profound Void Mountain was the same as Fang Chen remembered it, unchanged. Fang Chen led the three demons to the front of Profound Void Temple, only to find a group of monks gathered there.

Noticing the three demons, one of the monks fixed his gaze on Fang Chen. He clasped his hands and asked, "Are you here to offer incense?"

"Where are the people who used to live here?" Fang Chen questioned.

He couldn't sense the presence of Xia Ji and Wu Ruochou, a fact he had already known when he was still at the foot of the mountain.

The dilapidated Profound Void Temple had clearly been refurbished. It appeared to be occupied by a group of Buddhist cultivators whose cultivation levels were quite high, with several of them at the Foundation Building Realm.

"Profound Void Temple was deserted after what happened ten years ago. We are from Chenxiang Temple in the Azure Cloud Empire," a monk said softly.

Fang Chen appeared surprised. "The Chenxiang Temple where Supreme Expert Dragon Wood resides?"

The monk looked at Fang Chen with some interest. "You know Supreme Expert Dragon Wood?"

Fang Chen smiled, bade farewell to the monk, and descended the mountain with the three demons.

The Killing Spiritual Division had become more attentive to Grand Qian after what happened previously, so it was likely that they had sent these cultivators to watch over this area. This explained why these monks dared to stay here, despite the formidable methods of the former Demoness.

Many of the cultivators sneered and turned away, clearly dismissing Lin Yu as a fraud.

Victorious Buddha, Tiger Mountain Lord, and Profound Green were stunned by what they heard. Could there really be someone who could cut down Golden Core Realm cultivators like slicing vegetables? That was incredibly impressive!

At that moment, someone snorted coldly. "Lin Yu, are you slandering my family, again?"

A young man led a group over, jostling through the crowd of cultivators to clear a space. The young man, who was at the forefront of the group, grabbed Lin Yu by the collar, his gaze icy.

"Speak, are you tired of living?" said the young man.

Lin Yu remained unflustered. He sneered, "So what if I am? Is the Jue Family going to kill me to shut me up?"

"Your family ruined my family, and you even destroyed my cultivation. What, afraid to finish the job and send me to the underworld to meet my brainless father?" Lin Yu’s voice grew more resentful. "If it hadn't been for Jue Wudi urging him to trouble Fang Chen, would he have gone missing? If my family had a Foundation Building Realm cultivator to rely on, would we have fallen to this state? The Jue Family truly deserves death!"

The surrounding Qi Refinement cultivators were shocked. "The storyteller's father was a Foundation Building Realm cultivator!?"

A Foundation Building Realm cultivator was not a weakling. In the imperial capital, a Foundation Building Realm cultivator's descendants held a certain degree of status. What could have happened for the descendant of such a powerful cultivator to end up like this, relying on storytelling just to get a drink?

Victorious Buddha, Tiger Mountain Lord, and Profound Green were surprised. "Fang Chen? That's the same name as our master!"

"You damned piece of shit!" the young man yelled.

His eyes flashed with murderous intent, but he stopped himself from killing Lin Yu. Instead, he viciously slapped Lin Yu a dozen times, causing blood to seep from Lin Yu's seven orifices.

The young man glanced around and said calmly, "He's spewing nonsense. Don't believe a word of it."

He was about to leave when he noticed Tiger Mountain Lord nearby, and his eyes lit up.

"Whose spirit beast is this? Is it for sale?"

Spirit beast? Me? Tiger Mountain Lord thought.

He realized the young man was talking about him. Enraged, he almost pounced over to bite the young man.
