Chapter 466: Fishing

Chapter 466: Fishing

Several days later, Fang Chen set off with the three demons, and hundreds of disciples from the Fang Family accompanied them for hundreds of miles, creating an impressive spectacle. When people inquired, they learned that Fang Chen, the once-dead sword cultivator, had returned to life, shaking the entire Great Qian region.

Jue Shi and Jue Tiangang's expressions were grim as they looked at the kneeling youth.

The youth's face was tear-streaked. "Father, I didn't know his background was so significant. He turned out to be the sword cultivator who came back from the dead...."

Jue Tiangang spoke calmly. "The first time Fang Chen came to Great Qian, Lin Yu offended him, and later the Lin family fell apart, with Lin Yu becoming a waste. Now, the second time he came to Great Qian, you've offended him. Do you want the Jue Family to end up like the Lin family? Do you want to beg for alcohol on the streets in the future?"

Many elders and disciples of the Jue clan surrounded them, their expressions a mix of anger and complexity as they looked at the youth.

"Father, I really didn't know. If I had known, even if you gave me ten times more courage, I wouldn't have dared..." The youth begged for mercy. "Please, Father, give me another chance...."

"Now that the news of that day has spread outside, it seems that various families are getting restless," Jue Tiangang said calmly. "I have to make our stance clear to the Fang Family to ensure the stability of the Jue clan. From today onwards, you will be in closed-door cultivation for a hundred years and not step outside the Jue clan's boundaries. I will send the word out. If anyone sees you outside, they can exchange your head for a thousand low-grade spirit stones."

The youth despaired. "Father!"

He had to enter closed-door cultivation for a hundred years? Cultivation was extremely boring. Not being able to step out for a hundred years was worse than death!

Several days later, Fang Chen suddenly saw a monk standing in the void ahead, as if waiting for someone.

Fang Chen smiled lightly. "Master Chanyuan, it's been a long time."

Master Chanyuan clasped his hands together in a Buddhist salute. "Amitabha, benefactor, you don’t seem surprised to see this poor monk?"

"What's there to be surprised about? I've caused quite a stir in the Great Qian Imperial Capital, I assume that you must have received the news long ago?" Fang Chen smiled. "I thought I was just fishing for a few small fish, and didn't expect to hook a big fish like you."

The three demon disciples were startled. "Chanyuan? The Spirit Blood Sect's Kunlong Battle General? A Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse?"

Having stayed in the Fang Family manor for a few days, they had already heard about the events of the past years and knew how terrifying this Nascent Soul expert was. Almost single-handedly, he nearly refined three experts at the same level!

Fang Chen smiled lightly. "He didn't dare? You spoke too soon."

At the next moment, a lotus flower the size of a mountain descended from the sky, and the figure of the Kunlong Battle General flickered within it.

The terrifying aura instantly rendered the demons powerless to fight. They couldn't even circulate their spiritual energy.

All Fang Chen did was take out a tombstone. Immediately after, an extremely pure sword intent shot out from the tombstone, instantly shattering the lotus flower and piercing through the heart of the Kunlong Battle General.

The world seemed to fall silent, becoming incredibly quiet.

The Kunlong Battle General fell from the sky, a look of confusion on his face. Just as he was about to land, his figure suddenly stopped in mid-air. He clutched his chest with one hand, staring at Fang Chen.

"What kind of sword intent is this?"

Kunlong Battle General's voice was extremely hoarse.

“Still not dead?” Fang Chen sighed inwardly. It was a pity; he couldn't actively unleash that sword intent, so he had to wait for the opponent to strike first. Judging from the situation, the Kunlong Battle General was seriously injured and unlikely to make another move.

"Do you want to find out? Feel free to make a move," Fang Chen said with a faint smile.

The Kunlong Battle General remained silent, just coldly staring at Fang Chen for a while before suddenly chuckling lightly. "There's no need for me to make a move. You killed Jue Wudi back then. Do you know who his senior brother is? Do you know who his master is? I heard that Jue Wudi's second senior brother also died at your hands that day. It won't be long before we meet again."

With that, the Kunlong Battle General turned and left.

Fang Chen waited for a dozen breaths, then turned to his demons with a smile. "He's really gone this time. Did you learn any lessons today?"

The three demons were slightly puzzled. "What lessons?"

"Don't go fishing without certainty. It can be quite troublesome if accidentally fish out a shark," Fang Chen said, then continued leading them toward the Azure Cloud Empire.

The Kunlong Battle General probably wouldn't recover from his injuries in a short time.
