Chapter 472: Void Jade Mountain

Chapter 472: Void Jade Mountain

Upon hearing Zhang Shuzhou's scream, everyone realized that the fat man was the grandson of the black-robed elder. No wonder he was always so arrogant, he had a Golden Core Realm expert for a grandfather.

Thud!

Zhang Shuzhou's scream abruptly ceased, the light in his eyes gradually fading. A bloody line appeared on his forehead, extending downwards.

In an instant, his corpulent body split into two, spilling his filthy innards all over the ground.

The surrounding cultivators quickly stepped back, their expressions complex as they looked at the chaotic scene.

"Let's go," Fang Chen called out, and with that, led the group away, breaking through the air.

From beginning to end, the black-robed elder did not dare to interfere.

"Fang Chen of the Void Immortal Sword Sect...."

"What kind of sect is the Void Immortal Sword Sect? It sounds familiar, and so does this Fang Chen. Where have I heard of him before?"

"You feel that way too? I was just wondering why that name sounded so familiar."

"Everyone, do you remember what happened in the Grand Qian Imperial Capital over a decade ago?"

"That incident... are you referring to the one where a sword cultivator killed countless people and thwarted the Spirit Blood Sect's plan?"

"Yes, that sword cultivator was named Fang Chen. Have you all forgotten?"

"Hiss..."

Everyone suddenly remembered and collectively gasped in shock, their expressions turning uncertain.

According to the rumors, that sword cultivator once even wounded a Nascent Soul Realm expert with a single strike!

Steward Xu was shocked, and a hint of regret flashed in his eyes. Fortunately, he hadn't acted rashly earlier; otherwise, the one lying dead on the ground might have been him.

Steward Xu looked towards the black-robed elder. "Elder Zhang, about this matter...."

"It is a sect of sword cultivators located in the distant first-tier Central Continent Empire. Even if I knew the exact route, it is difficult for even someone like me to reach that place," Liu Buyun murmured.

Suddenly, Liu Buyun's expression changed into one of astonishment. "I remember now! I finally recall where I heard the name Fang Chen!"

"Master... isn't the sword cultivator who cut down countless foes in the Grand Qian Imperial Capital over a decade ago also named Fang Chen?" another disciple exclaimed in shock. "Could it be...could it be him?"

The expressions of the others brightened, their faces shifting from shock to excitement. The idea that such a legendary figure was their martial uncle was almost too incredible to believe!

They vividly remembered those years when cultivators across the Azure Cloud Empire were talking about this sword cultivator. The rumors said that despite his cultivation level being only at the Qi Refining Realm, he wielded an immortal sword and slew over ten Golden Core Realm cultivators, even injuring a Nascent Soul Realm expert. Together with three Nascent Soul stage cultivators, he forced the Spirit Blood Sect's mighty figures into a hasty retreat, thereby thwarting the Spirit Blood Sect's plans and preventing The Hidden Cloud Region from descending into chaos.

"It really is him.... To think I once thought it was just a coincidence..." Ye Qinghe muttered to himself.

Suddenly, Ye Qinghe felt the atmosphere around him shift. He looked up to see his master and senior brothers and sisters all staring at him.

"Junior brother, with such a background, why did you stay silent all this time? If you had spoken up earlier, who in the Qinghua Gate would have dared to provoke our lineage?"

"Exactly! You kept us in the dark, but this time, it was thanks to you that Uncle Fang gave us such a warm greeting."

"Qinghe, I always knew you were destined for great things. It seems I was right. Even on the path of cultivation, one must never slacken their efforts to maintain such divine connections," Liu Buyun said.

Liu Biyun sighed with emotion, gently patting Ye Qinghe's head. "From now on, you're my closed-door disciple."

Ye Qinghe never expected that one day he would benefit from Fang Chen's influence. He felt an infinite sense of emotion welling up inside him.

"I wonder how Tao Yu is doing now. I bet he's not as fortunate as me," Ye Qinghe suddenly thought of Tao Yu, feeling secretly pleased with himself.

"Master, there's a strange-shaped mountain ahead, resembling a turtle's back," Victorious Buddha reported to Fang Chen while gazing into the distance.

Fang Chen gestured for everyone to stop and then used his spiritual sense to take a look. Indeed, there was a massive mountain range that stretched for an unknown distance, resembling the back of a turtle. The different branches of the mountain range looked like the patterns on a turtle's shell.

In the center of this turtle shell, there was a tall mountain shrouded in clouds and mist.

At the same time, a clear sound rang out, and a giant bird with wings spanning about ten yards came flying through the air, speaking in a human voice, "This is the territory of Jade Void Mountain. Are you passing through or coming to pay your respects?"
