Chapter 465: Map

Fang Tingjian nodded lightly. “If it's demon cultivators, going to the Jade Void Mountain is quite suitable."

"Patriarch, has Kunlong Battle General appeared since then?" Fang Chen asked.

Fang Tingjian shook his head. "As long as Nascent Soul Realm cultivators don't want others to notice their presence, no one can sense them."

Fang Chen nodded. "That's true."

After exchanging pleasantries, someone came to report that Princess Shenlong had arrived outside.

"By the way, in recent years, a few sword cultivators from the Void Immortal Sword Sect have come to the Grand Qian, and Princess Shenlong was scolded quite harshly. If it weren't for our testimony, that sword cultivator might've killed her because of Qian Wuji," Fang Wanli said softly. "She's here to see you. She probably hopes that you'll say a few good words for her at the Void Immortal Sword Sect."

Fang Chen was slightly surprised. "Speak up for her? What has the Void Immortal Sword Sect done to the Qian Family?"

"The Qian Family had several earth veins chopped into two by sword cultivators from the Void Immortal Sword Sect. Since then, those earth veins have been abandoned. The Qian Family doesn't dare to reclaim them, and other families also don't dare to touch them casually," Fang Tingjian said lightly. "If possible, you can say a few words to help her out and completely resolve the misunderstanding."

Fang Chen nodded lightly. "The Void Immortal Sword Sect is in a first-tier empire. Let's talk about this later."

In the reception hall, all the unrelated people were driven out, leaving only Fang Chen, his demon disciples, Fang Tingjian, Fang Wanli, Princess Shenlong, Fang Ao, and other cultivators in the Foundation Building Realm.

Princess Shenlong stared at Fang Chen for a while, her expression becoming more and more incredulous. Earlier, she had received the reports from below, and when she came to know of the contents of these reports, she became quite flustered and scolded her people, saying that they had mixed up someone else with him.

However, she couldn't believe her eyes when she really saw that it was Fang Chen.

His background and origins are too mysterious.

She bowed to Fang Chen with clasped hands, showing respect. "Fellow cultivator Fang, please accept my respects."

Fang Chen returned the gesture and went straight to the point. "Is there something you wish to discuss with me, Princess?"

Princess Shenlong looked slightly embarrassed as she explained why she was there.

It was indeed as Fang Wanli had speculated, it was about the earth veins.

Fang Chen was puzzled. "Since that person from the Void Immortal Sword Sect has already left after venting his anger, why didn't you send someone to reclaim the earth veins?"

How could it be him!?

Lord Tiger soon recovered from his shock. He said with pleasant surprise, "Master Fang, you're actually not dead?"

Fang Chen took a seat opposite Lord Tiger and nodded lightly. "I was quite lucky and didn't die."

He then said, "Let me ask you something."

"Of course, please go ahead!" Lord Tiger hurriedly replied.

Fang Chen smiled. "When Xia Ji left, did he say goodbye to you?"

Lord Tiger suddenly remembered something and looked at Fang Chen with a strange expression. "When Xia Ji left, he did come to me. He said that if you ever come looking for him, I should tell you that he and his senior sister went to the first-tier Central Continent Empire. At that time, I thought he was joking with me, especially since Honored Fang...” Lord Tiger trailed off, realizing what he had almost said, his face turning embarrassed. Back then, he had thought Xia Ji was joking, but it turned out to be true.

Fang Chen furrowed his brow, and he mumbled, "The first-tier Central Continent Empire?"

Why would Xia Ji take Wu Ruochou and go to the Central Continent Empire? It was extremely far from here. If he didn't know the correct route, it could take him decades before he reached there.

"If Honored Fang wants to find Xia Ji, you can set off at any time. Judging by the time, he probably just arrived in the Central Continent Empire not long ago," Lord Tiger said.

Fang Chen glanced at him. "How do you know? Does Xia Ji know the route to the Central Continent Empire?"

Lord Tiger chuckled, as if he had earned a lot. "He does. He even sold me the route for five thousand low-grade spirit stones. Those were the savings I accumulated over the years, but thanks to him, I've made a profit in recent years."

But then, his smile froze because he seemed to understand why Xia Ji had sold him the route to the Central Continent Empire...

"Give me a copy of the route, and name your price," Fang Chen said with a half-smile.

“Honored Fang, it was you who saved this old man's wretched life. There's no need to stand on ceremony. The route is in this jade slip. Please accept it!" Lord Tiger said solemnly, handing over a jade slip to Fang Chen respectfully.

However, Lord Tiger inwardly grumbled, "That rascal Xia Ji played me like a fiddle. Next time, I hope I never see him again!"

Fang Chen accepted the jade slip, and with a surge of spiritual energy, a map appeared in his mind. The map showed a route straight to the Central Continent Empire. Xia Ji having the route to the Central Continent Empire indirectly confirmed that he indeed had his own opportunities.

Well, that's good. We can catch up when I reach the Central Continent Empire, Fang Chen thought with a smile in his eyes.
