Immortal of the Nine Realms

Fang Chen felt that it was a little regretful. If Jue Feichen hadn't intervened, Jue Wudi would have remained immersed in the illusion for quite some time.

"It seems that Illusion Spirit Talismans like this has no effect on Golden Core Realm cultivators. They can easily see through and destroy them."

He had considered using Illusion Spirit Talismans to disrupt the mental state of Golden Core Realm cultivators during battles before. Fortunately, Jue Feichen put an end to that idea.

Jue Wudi's complexion was pale. "Ancestor, was I... under an illusion?"

Jue Feichen nodded lightly. "Yes, you were under an illusion."

Jue Wudi swayed from disbelief. Shame flashed in his eyes as his face alternated between red and white.

Fang Lingxing was standing beside him. She didn't know how to comfort him and could only whisper, "Big Brother Jue…."

Qian Feng and the others wore odd expressions. They tacitly decided not to say anything. At this moment, any input they had was useless. They were mainly waiting to see how Jue Feichen would handle the situation.

The arrival of the ancestor of the Jue Family indicated that this matter was indeed related to him and was not an unauthorized decision those juniors of the Jue Family made by themselves.

Mixed in the crowd, Qian Jiuye secretly felt that he had been lucky not to get himself involved. Otherwise, he would have surely ended up with a headache. However, he was also very curious about why the Golden Core Realm Ancestor of the Jue Family treated an ordinary girl like this. What kind of feud existed between their ancestors to warrant this?

"So it really was an illusion."

The crowd felt a chill run down their spine.

Fang Xiu and company stared at Fang Chen with shock.

Fang Yun gasped in shock. "He's actually proficient in illusions?"

This type of skill was not only rare in the Grand Qian Empire, but also amongst all fourth-tier empires.

Jue Feichen turned to look at Fang Chen and lightly said, "Young friend, if I'm not mistaken, you just used the Illusion Spirit Talisman, didn't you? What is your relationship with the Heavenly Wind Demon King of the Qinghu Empire?"

Fang Chen smiled. "I know him."

"Illusion Spirit Talisman?"

"No wonder! This is a mid-grade, yellow-rank talisman! It's not surprising that Jue Wudi fell for it."

They had thought that this was an illusion deployed by Fang Chen using an illusion technique he practiced, but it turned out to be just a talisman.

However… a mid-grade, yellow-rank talisman was still very valuable. Even one Illusion Spirit Talisman could cost the same price as a mid-grade, yellow-rank spiritual treasure.

Jue Feichen smiled. "Young friend, when Wudi sparred with you, he didn't use external help. You used the Illusion Spirit Talisman, which makes this unfair, right?"

Fang Chen was taken aback and said, "Regardless if they were treasures or talismans, they're all things cultivators use to deal with their opponents. How was that unfair?"

"Treasures are fine, but talismans are different. If I give Wudi a high-grade, yellow-rank talisman, wouldn't he easily defeat you?" said Jue Feichen.

Fang Chen shook his head lightly. "Not really. At least he didn't have a high-grade, yellow-rank talisman when he challenged us three. What would really be unfair is if you hand him one now, Senior."

"You're quite sharp-tongued." Jue Feichen chuckled lightly. "Alright, for the sake of fairness, let's go back and redo those three moves just now," he said. "You're not allowed to use talismans this time. I won't gift Jue Wudi a high-grade, yellow-rank talisman either. How about you rely on your own strength this time? If you can withstand Jue Wudi's three moves, we will keep our promise."

Jue Feichen's gaze fell on Jiang Tianai. He saw the intense hatred in her eyes as she stared at him.

Jue Feichen smiled as if he didn't care at all.

Everyone was perplexed. "Redo the three moves?"

Fang Xiu clenched his teeth and said, "This seems even more unfair, Senior…."

"You have no say here," replied Jue Feichen, looking at Fang Xiu coldly.

Everyone was stunned. Why was he treating Fang Chen warmly but was so cold to Fang Xiu?

"It seems that Fang Chen, like Jue Wudi, has caught the eye of a Gold Core Realm cultivator, so he receives similar treatment."

"Golden Core Realm cultivators don't put your average genius in their eyes at all. They probably view them just as they view us."

Fang Xiu's flushed with embarrassment. In the end, he could only show a bitter twist and remain silent. The younger generation of the four families were angry, but they didn't dare to speak out against a Gold Core Realm cultivator.

Jue Feichen turned his attention back to Fang Chen and smiled. "How about it? I've given you a chance. If you can't accept this, young friend, then this girl will be ours."

"Alright." Fang Chen nodded lightly. "Let's go with that then."

Jue Feichen smiled and stepped aside. "You can start."

Jue Wudi calmed his thoughts, his eyes returning indifferent again.

Jue Wudi might've seemed calm on the surface, but Fang Lingxing, who was closest to him, could see the raging anger deep in his eyes.

This anger, however, was forcibly suppressed by Jue Wudi.

Fang Lingxing's gaze fell on Fang Chen. Her eyes were filled with chilling intent. You made Big Brother Jue so angry. That's unforgivable.

Jue Wudi spoke slowly. "Fang Chen, have you thought it through? I didn't want to take your life before, but now I've changed my mind. If you make a move, this can only end in one way."

Although Jue Wudi's voice seemed calm, there was a chilling murderous intent hidden within.

Fang Xiu's face darkened. "He's prepared to kill.…"

Fang Jue, who had just finished adjusting his mental state, heard everything that had been said. He immediately stood up and came to Fang Chen's side. "Fang Chen, he wants to kill you. Are you confident in this fight?"

"A fortune teller once told me that I have a tenacious fate. I won't die so easily." Fang Chen smiled, patting Fang Jue's shoulder. "You stay at the side to avoid being affected by the aftermath. Take care of yourself."

Fang Jue nodded lightly and stood next to Fang Yun.

"A fortune teller told you you have a tenacious fate? Haha..." A cold sneer appeared on Jue Wudi's face. "I'm afraid that was a fraud."

Jue Wudi's aura began to rise, and the surrounding spiritual energy surged. Even those far away felt extremely heavy pressure at that moment.

Just as Jue Wudi was about to unleash his killing move to wash away his shame in front of everyone, he noticed that Fang Chen had suddenly vanished.

Yes, Fang Chen was gone!

There was only Jiang Tianai standing where Fang Chen had been.

“Where's Fang Chen?”

"Could he have run away?"

The crowd was astonished.

Jue Wudi's face froze. He scanned the area around him with surprise.

What kind of method was this? A person of such stature suddenly disappeared right under the nose of a Golden Core Realm expert?

Fang Lingxing couldn't help but laugh. "Big Brother Jue, he must have been scared off by you."

Jue Wudi's face turned unpleasant.

Could he have really run away?

Everyone started looking around for Fang Chen's whereabouts while Fang Xiu and the others exchanged looks.

The Fang Family members' faces flushed with shame. "Did Fang Chen actually run away?"

"He ran away? Haha! This is getting interesting."

In a tea stall a hundred feet away, Lord Tiger took a sip of tea and suddenly chuckled.

Only he knew what skill Fang Chen had used at this moment.

Lord Tiger shook his head while chuckling. "Jue Wudi? When facing this person, you'll learn that you're not as unbeatable as you think you are."
