Chapter 186: Let’s Get Back on Topic

Fang Chen didn’t use any Dao techniques and only extended his palm out casually.

Immediately, Zhengye Ying Gui felt immense danger. He felt as if an extremely powerful entity was targeting him, and he subconsciously turned around to flee!

However, the moment he turned, the Vajra Qi on his body was shattered by spiritual energy, and his flesh exploded with a bang. Flesh and blood sprayed up and down, falling like rain.

The entire place fell silent.

The martial artists from Yingcang were both furious and horrified. An outstanding junior of the Zhengye family had been killed just like that?

"He's already an immortal." Ji Congyun finally confirmed this point. He felt endless regret; if he had known that this day would come, he wouldn’t have spared Fang Zhentian back when he was younger!

Zhengye Hao Nan was furious, and he roared, "You deserve to die!"

In the next moment, Fang Chen's fingertip had already condensed a fireball that smashed into Zhengye Hao Nan. The outstanding disciple of the Returning Essence Qi Stage was instantly incinerated into ashes.

"Leave none of the martial artists from Yingcang alive," instructed Fang Chen calmly.

"Yes." Zhao Yan nodded lightly. His figure moved like a ghost and he harvested the lives of the martial artists from Yingcang one after the other.

The whole process was smooth and fast. Ji Congyun didn't dare stand in his way, and the martial artists from Hongri and Tiankun knew better than to interfere.

In less than a few breaths, dozens of martial artists from the Yingcang Empire were slain.

The surroundings went silent. Even the sound of breathing was suppressed to the lowest level. People looked at Fang Chen in shock and fear.

Ji Congyun forced a smile. "Divine General Fang, I think the misunderstanding here has been temporarily resolved. Why not come to my manor for a visit?"

Fang Chen pointed to Song Yi and asked, "How should we deal with him?"

Song Yi and his siblings were frightened. Elder Qin even knelt and kowtowed."I beg you to spare him. My young master is young and ignorant, it was all my idea...!”

Ji Lengxing and the others dared not plead in their stead and chose to stand silently on the side. Song Yi's face was pale as he knelt on the ground slowly. "If you want to kill or punish me, I will accept it willingly. Requesting the help of the Ji Family was my idea. It has nothing to do with Elder Qin. He is just a servant who obeyed my orders."

Elder Qin’s face turned ashen, and he whipped his head to look at this young master. "Don't say that, Young Master! This is all my fault! If I hadn't gone to ask the Ji Family for help, this wouldn't have ever happened!"

"One should own up to his mistake." Song Yi smiled bitterly. "I made a mistake and offended someone I shouldn't have. I must bear the consequences of my actions. I don't want to tarnish the name of my family."

Song Hui quickly looked at Ji Lengxiao with a pleading expression.

Ji Lengxiao sighed and shook his head slightly. Even Ji Congyun had to follow what Fang Chen said, how could he possibly speak up?

Fang Chen scrutinized Song Yi for a moment, then suddenly turned to Zhantai Qingxuan. "Young Lady Zhantai, how do you think he should be dealt with?"

"He should kneel here for ten days without water or food," said Zhantai Qingxuan coldly.

Everyone was slightly stunned. Elder Qin’s face showed a hint of joy. Song Yi also couldn't believe what he had heard. He was spared just like that?

Fang Chen smiled. "Did you hear that?” he said. “Kneel here."

Song Yi nodded. "I understand." As long as he could survive, he could kneel even for a month. A damaged reputation was nothing compared to one’s life.

Fang Chen turned to Ji Congyun. "Now that this trivial matter was resolved, “ he said, “I wonder if you can enlighten me about a question I have: Why did the martial artists of Yingcang act during the battle of Three World Mountain, but the Frost Water Empire remained silent?"

Ji Congyun's expression changed slightly. "We did not know about it, and by the time we came to learn of it, it was already too la—"

Fang Chen interrupted. "Don't treat me as a fool, Senior Ji. I've heard about how the Frost Water Empire dealt with it afterward. Please tell me the truth."

The members of the Ji Family looked somewhat awkward. That matter involved the royal family of the Frost Wate Empire.

After a few moments of silence, Ji Congyun nodded slowly. "To be honest, we did receive information about the incident, but the crown prince has a good relationship with the Zhengye family from the Yingcang Empire. They had reached an agreement at the time. That’s why the Frost Water Empire didn’t interfere."

"The crown prince of the Frost Water Empire?" Fang Chen nodded thoughtfully, looking toward the direction of the imperial capital in the distance. "Let's go meet that crown prince."

*

In the imperial capital of the Frost Water Empire.

The emperor, crown prince, and the entire court were waiting for the return of Ji Congyun and the others.

The emperor furrowed his brows slowly, appearing a bit impatient. His gaze seemed to want to penetrate the layers of the void and see what was happening at the port.

"Father, there's no need to worry. With Senior Ji intervening, no matter what kind of powerhouse is there, it should be no problem," said the crown prince with a smile.

The emperor waved his hand. "I'm just a bit tired."

Not long after, a eunuch reported from outside that Ji Congyun and the others had returned. The emperor's spirit immediately lifted, and a group of people entered the hall. However, everyone suddenly noticed that the martial artists from the Zhengye Family, including Zhengye Hao Nan, were missing. Instead, new, unfamiliar faces appeared within the group.

The emperor frowned. "Ji Congyun, who are these people? Where is Zhengye Hao Nan? Where did he go?"

The crown prince of the Frost Water Empire was also secretly observing Fang Chen and the others, a trace of suspicion flashing in his eyes.

Ji Congyun's expression became serious. He clasped his fist and said, "These few are from Grand Xia and this person is the Divine General of Grand Xia, Fang Chen."

Divine General of Grand Xia?

The expressions of the court officials became somewhat strange. They were discussing how to deal with Grand Xia, and now the Divine General of Grand Xia appeared. Wasn't that too coincidental?

The crown prince’s eyes narrowed slightly. Just as he was about to speak, Fang Chen had already smiled and said, "I heard from Senior Ji that the crown prince of Frost Water Empire had made a deal with the Zhengye Family of the Yingcang Empire, so that Frost Water Empire would let the matter at Three World Mountain go unchallenged?"

The crown prince's expression changed slightly.

The emperor revealed a solemn expression. "Insolent! Are you here today to question my empire? Have you forgotten who you are?"

Ji Congyun slowly spoke. "Your Majesty, Fang Chen is already an immortal, and these few are also... immortals."

Immortals!?

The expressions of the crowd changed instantly, and the emperor appeared somewhat puzzled. They were not unfamiliar with immortals because the Ji Family had always revered an immortal. Even the Nightmare War Horse was obtained with guidance from that immortal.

"Answer my question from earlier," said Fang Chen lightly. "If there is even a single lie, I will leave no one alive in the palace, not even a chicken or a dog shall live."

A sinister laughter echoed. "Hehehe...."

From outside the main hall, an old man slowly walked in. The emperor and others were shocked when they saw the old man.

"Ancestor!"

The old man had disheveled hair, resembling a madman. His eyes, hidden beneath his hair, stared fixedly at Fang Chen and the others. "Ji Congyun, are you biting the hand that feeds you? Can your Ji Family no longer sit still? Are you planning to rebel?"

"Daoist Xia, kill him," said Fang Chen lightly.

The crowd saw Ancestor Xia Yu lift his arm slightly. A cold light flashed.

Everyone seemed to have seen something fly out from his sleeve only to return swiftly with a blur. The old man suddenly turned silent, and motionless. A few seconds later, his head slowly fell to the ground and rolled about ten yards away.

Fang Chen smiled at the dumbfounded crowd, and said, "Let's get back on topic."
