Chapter 463: Uncle, My Name is Also Fang Chen
Lin Yu managed a bitter smile and said, "Yes, that's Fang Chen. He's the one who previously slew numerous Golden Core cultivators from the Spirit Blood Sect, and even wounded their Nascent Soul Realm expert!"
The soldiers around him were beyond shocked, and some had already started sending reports with their Transmission Talismans.
The three demons hadn't gone far when they overheard Lin Yu's words, revealing shocked expressions.
As it turned out, the storyteller had been actually talking about their master all along! It wasn't a case of two people with the same name; it was the same person!
The three demons finally understood what kind of battle had taken place over a decade ago.
No wonder their master had spent nearly a dozen years recovering while buried underground.
In front of the Fang Manor, numerous members of the Fang Family were coming and going, eyeing the three demons with curiosity and scrutiny.
Fang Chen, accompanied by the three demons, was about to enter the Fang residence when several of the Fang Family's members hurriedly stepped forward to block them.
"This is the Fang residence. Are you here for someone?"
"Is Elder Fang Ao around?" asked Fang Chen with a light smile.
"You're looking for Elder Fang Ao? Did you notify us in advance? We haven’t received notice of any guests arriving today," said a member, his face suspicious.
However, that member suddenly couldn't help but feel that this person was quite familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. Yet, he was certain that he didn't know any cultivator who was accompanied by three demon cultivators.
Suddenly, the voice of a woman sounded, cold. "Do you have business with my father?"
The woman who spoke was leading a small child as she walked over.
The Fang Family members around quickly bowed with clasped hands. "Sister Fang Yun."
Within the Fang family, the third branch held significant sway. Although the head of the family was still Fang Kun from the eldest branch, when it came to influence, the first, second, and fourth branches combined weren't a match to the third branch After all, it was the third branch that once produced a sword cultivator who saved the entire Hidden Cloud Region.
The descendants of the Fang Family owed their lives to him and rightfully bowed in gratitude to him for his deeds.
Fang Chen was surprised. "Fang Yun, you're married? Is this your child?"
He hadn't expected that Fang Yun would have a child after ten years.
"You are...?"
Fang Yun paused momentarily, instinctively sizing up Fang Chen. As she looked, her eyes gradually filled with astonishment, disbelief, and shock.
Fang Chen smiled and said, "It's only a little over a decade, there is no reason for you not to recognize me, right?"
Coupled with his appearance, when Fang Yun heard that familiar voice, she grew excited, and she exclaimed in disbelief, "Brother Fang Chen?! Is it really you? You're actually alive!?"
After what happened ten years ago, Immortal Void Rush took Fang Jue to the Purple Pole Dao Academy, and he passed the assessment, becoming a disciple there. He would come back once every two or three years.
Fang Lingxing became a disciple under Master Chen and also went to the Azure Cloud Empire.
Fang Xiu successfully advanced to the Foundation Building Realm. The old masters intended for him to succeed as the next family head, so he was currently learning from Fang Kun.
"What about my good friend?" Fang Chen asked casually.
"You mean Xia Ji? After he sent you away, he returned to the Grand Qian a few years later. Upon his return, he left with Wu Ruochou and hasn't been seen since."
Fang Yun looked somewhat strange. "We encountered Xia Ji once at that time, and he seemed to have reached the Foundation Building Realm."
Xia Ji had only been in the Grand Qian for a few years before and after. Fang Chen that when he first arrived, Xia Ji's cultivation was still weak. In just a few years, he advanced to Foundation Building Realm, which proved Xia Ji's talent and aptitude were top-notch.
Fang Chen nodded with a smile. "Foundation Building Realm, that's good news."
Just like Fang Chen, Xia Ji had some secrets, and they both had enough tact not to delve into each other's pasts. Not to mention that Xia Ji had also gained some benefits due to his merits from that incident, so it wasn't surprising that he could advance to Foundation Building Realm within a short period.
"Xia Ji has already reached the Foundation Building Realm... but we still have no news of Fairy Yu. Could something have happened after I went into the coffin?"
Fang Chen's thoughts stirred slightly.
Making up his mind about this matter, he decided that after he settled in the Central Continent, he would take the opportunity to check the situation at the Void Immortal Sword Sect.
As they continued on their way, the cultivators from the Fang family who received the news hurried over.
"Fang Chen?"
Fang Ao and his wife arrived in a flash. Upon seeing Fang Chen, they both showed expressions of astonishment.
Fang Chen greeted them with a clasped fist and a smile. "Elder Fang Ao, it's been a long time. Are you both doing well?"
A smile gradually appeared on Fang Ao's face as he nodded repeatedly. "Good, good, good!"
It wasn't clear whether he was saying his health was good or that Fang Chen being alive was good news.
"Fang Chen is really alive."
"That's great! He was able to easily defeat Golden Core cultivators back then and even injure Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. His strength now is probably even more unfathomable!"
"Did he consume some sort of godly medicine? Back then, he seemed to have exhausted his lifespan, but now he looks like a young man again!"
Many disciples of the Fang family whispered to each other. They had all personally experienced what happened that day and had seen Fang Chen go from a young man to a middle-aged man in the span of a few seconds.
But now, Fang Chen looked like he was eighteen or nineteen, in the prime of his life!
