Chapter 483: Unable to Touch
In a quiet room inside Purple Pole Dao Academy.
Fang Chen held the jade slip in his hand as spiritual energy surged, continuously pouring information into his mind.
The cultivation method for the Radiant Divine Eyes was somewhat simpler compared to the Primordial Immortal Eye. After practicing for a while, he could faintly see a trace of strange blue light in his eyes.
Gradually, Fang Chen felt the surrounding spiritual energy become extremely friendly, and he felt that it would be very simple to manipulate it.
"The Primordial Immortal Eye enhances the power of the soul, while the Radiant Divine Eyes enhances affinity with the Five Elements. Although the effects are different, both are exceptional techniques."
Suddenly, the voice of Little Cow Dung came from outside. "Master, someone is here to visit."
Fang Chen walked out of the room and saw Immortal Void Rush standing not too far away.
Fang Chen clasped his fist and respectfully called out, "Senior Void Rush."
Little Cow Dung was taken aback. His master had called the visitor "senior," so her status had to be prestigious. Therefore, Little Cow Dung hurriedly copied Fang Chen.
Senior Void Rush nodded lightly. "Let's talk outside."
"Yes."
Leading Fang Chen away from the room, Immortal Void Rush casually asked, "Is it true about the whereabouts of the Kunlong Battle General?"
Fang Chen nodded with a smile. "Absolutely true."
A hint of curiosity flashed in Senior Void Rush's eyes. The esteemed Kunlong Battle General, a Nascent Soul powerhouse, had unexpectedly suffered losses at the hands of a junior, twice at that. She was very curious as to how Fang Chen came to know about the whereabouts of Kunlong Battle General.
Immortal Void Rush knew that Fang Chen wouldn't let it out even if she asked, so she didn't bother to do that. She thought for a moment and nodded lightly. "If we can capture Kunlong Battle General, you'll once again have a great achievement."
"Senior Void Rush, have you heard of the Azure Dragon Battle General?" Fang Chen asked.
***
Immortal Void Rush looked at the list in her hand, her brows scrunched up. "How reliable is this list?"
Fang Chen had clearly been in the Purple Pole Dao Academy all this time and hadn't even stepped out. How the hell did he obtain this list?
The list even included the two chief disciples of the Profound Yellow Palace, which made her suspect whether Fang Chen had inscribed their names because of his personal grudges against them.
"Elder, you can secretly keep an eye on them. Besides, the Azure Dragon Battle General might come to the Azure Cloud Empire. I hope you will be prepared, Senior Void Rush," Fang Chen said.
"Azure Dragon Battle General is coming to the Azure Cloud Empire? Did you ask me about him a few days ago because of this?" Senior Void Rush's expression froze slightly. Then, a hint of confusion appeared in her eyes. "There shouldn't be anything in the Hidden Cloud Region that would catch the Azure Dragon Battle General's eyes. While the Kunlong Battle General's plan had failed, it doesn't warrant the personal intervention of the Azure Dragon Battle General. If he arrives any time soon, he'll be taking a significant risk. After all, how could they be so sure that the Killing Spiritual Division hasn't arranged for a late-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to secretly oversee the region?"
Fang Chen smiled helplessly. "I heard he's coming to kill me."
Senior Void Rush looked puzzled. "Kill... you?"
Fang Chen also felt that the Four Saint Battle Generals didn't need to personally come to kill him, but... what if the other party was the senior brother of Jue Wudi and the patriarch of the Heavenly Southern Sect? In that case, everything would make sense. Kunlong Battle General had directly mentioned that Jue Wudi's senior brother wouldn't let him off. To top it all off, the moment he arrived at the Azure Cloud Empire, Mu Zhaohe and Yun Tiancheng deliberately lured him out. This explained a lot of things.
"Senior Void Rush, I'll take my leave. If anyone comes asking about me, please tell them the truth," said Fang Chen, clasping his fist in salute.
With that, Fang Chen left.
As he was about to leave, he went to see Fang Jue and Dongfang Haojie, giving Fang Jue some low-grade spirit stones, part of which was for helping to take care of Little Cow Dung. When Little Cow Dung started his cultivation, he would naturally need to use the spirit stones.
During that period, the imperial capital of the Azure Cloud Empire was bustling with activity. Whenever cultivators conversed, they would mention the resurrected Grand Qian sword cultivator, Fang Chen, who defeated the two Chief Disciples of the Profound Yellow Palace. This news had already spread throughout the imperial capital, and even cultivators from other regions had heard of it. Some even went to the Purple Pole Dao Academy to visit Fang Chen but were informed that he had already left.
"He's gone... looks like we're a step too late," a young man dressed like a scion of a prestigious family sat in a lively teahouse, listening to the animated descriptions of Yun Tiancheng's battle with Fang Chen that day.
Opposite the young man in white sat a young girl. She spoke softly, "There's news from the Purple Pole Dao Academy that Fang Chen left seven days ago. If we knew which direction he headed, we might've been able to catch up with him. Unfortunately, no one saw him leave that day, and our people couldn't determine where he went."
"Inform them to keep an eye on every single road out there. My two junior brothers must not die in vain," the young man in white said with a faint smile.
The girl nodded gently and lit a Transmission Talisman, letting it slowly burn.
