Chapter 516: Holding Back Big Moves?

For the next six months, Fang Chen and his group didn't encounter any attacks from Golden Core Realm cultivators. It seemed that after the fall of those three Immortal Seedlings, Heavenly King Zhen’s Manor had given up on pursuing Fairy Yu. However, Fang Chen didn't dare to let his guard down. How could such a force give up on revenge just because a few Immortal Seedlings had perished.

Wouldn't their reputation be tarnished if they let them be just like that?

What this period of silence might suggest was that the enemy was preparing to make a big, decisive attack.

Apart from that, he had to keep his eyes open against any retaliation from the Immortal Giant Sect, Innate Dao Sect, and Great Expansion Dao Gate. Each of these major sects had lost an Immortal Seedling, and their losses were much greater than Heavenly King Zhen Manor's, considering that Gai Wu hadn't been an Immortal Seedling.

"Lord Fang, we'll reach the teleportation formation in half a day. By using it, we can enter the territory of the Immortal Dynasty Holy Land," Qinghu's ruler said as she surveyed the surroundings with a hint of joy on her face.

As long as they passed through that teleportation formation, they would soon reach their destination.

"I remember you said that a major sect controls this teleportation formation?" said Fang Chen.

The Qinghu ruler nodded slightly.

Fairy Yu hesitated. "Lord Fang, why don't we take a different route?"

Fang Chen smiled, "It's alright, we might as well take a look. If there were any Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who dared to attack us, they would have done so long ago. Why wait until today?"

"That's true," muttered Fairy Yu, feeling puzzled.

Half a day later, they arrived at a massive city, similar in scale to the former Azure Cloud Empire. The only difference was the cultivators in this area.

Qi Refining Realm cultivators were everywhere, and there were quite a few Foundation Building and Golden Core cultivators as well. Occasionally, one would even catch a glimpse of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. Mortals still made up the majority of the population. However, unlike other places, the mortals here didn’t find cultivators exactly mysterious.

As soon as Fang Chen and company entered the city, they felt many Golden Core Realm cultivators secretly sweep them with their eyes. The Qinghu Empire’s ruler and the others were a bit nervous, but Fang Chen and Fairy Yu remained calm, not paying much attention to these prying eyes.

Nearby, a Golden Core Realm cultivator with a clasped fist respectfully reported to a young man in a purple robe, "Sir, that is indeed Fairy Yu and that sword cultivator of unknown origin. The Void Immortal Sword Sect has denied that this sword cultivator is their disciple."

However, it didn't matter how high their cultivations were; they couldn't take action personally. The problem lay in their network of relationships. If these two were once Immortal Seedlings who successfully treaded the Ancient Immortal Road, then they would undoubtedly have many matured Immortal Seedlings in their circle of friends.

If these people intervened, with their prestige, it wouldn't be difficult to call over a number of fresh Immortal Seedlings. If there were only seven or eight people, it wouldn't be much of a problem for Fang Chen

However, if there were dozens of them and they were armed with treasures and formations—not to mention that Heavenly King Zhen's celestial soldiers would be lending them a hand as well—they would pose a threat that couldn't be underestimated. Fortunately, he became aware of this beforehand and could prepare accordingly.

At the same time, he confirmed the effect of the Vast Origin Fruit too. It would be immensely helpful to Fairy Yu, so that was good news.

Before long, they arrived at the central area of the city, where a majestic teleportation formation caught their eyes. Around it were stationed a number of cultivators.

It went without saying that an owned teleportation formation this substantial would have a fee tied to it.

The Qinghu Ruler took the initiative to inquire and then returned to report, "Lord Fang, the fee is three hundred spirit stones per person. In addition, activating the teleportation formation requires five thousand spirit stones. If we split the cost, each person needs to contribute one thousand three hundred."

"Do you have enough spirit stones?" Fang Chen asked with a smile.

By now, Fang Chen’s wealth had reached a staggering 530,000 spirit stones. All of which were from those Golden Core Realm cultivators, especially those three Immortal Seedlings.

The Qinghu ruler nodded lightly. "I do."

Although she was only at the grand completion stage of Foundation Building Realm, she had once been the ruler of an empire, presiding over a vast territory. of the Qinghu Empire, controlling a vast territory. She had stashed quite a few low-grade spirit stones, so she could afford to pay the travel fee.

Just as everyone was about to fish out their part of the fee, they saw a purple-robed youth leading a group of Golden Core Realm cultivators approaching slowly. One of the elders watching over the teleportation formation brightened up and hurried over from the other side, bowing to the purple-robed youth with a smile. "Lord Zhao, why do you have the leisure to personally lead a group for patrol today?"

The purple-robed youth smiled faintly and pointed at Fang Chen and Fairy Yu. "Elder Gu, you wouldn't fail to recognize these two, would you?"

Curious, the elder turned to the two. After a moment, he smiled at the purple-robed youth and replied, "Of course I recognize them. However, the Point Star Gate has always maintained neutrality and avoids causing harm easily. If it's business that comes to our door, we have no reason to refuse."

Obviously, the elder had long noticed the identities of Fang Chen and Fairy Yu. He only showed up when the purple-robed youth appeared, and now, his words carried a hint of warning, clearly warning the purple-robed youth.
