Immortal of the Nine Realms

When Mirror of the Universe saw that Fang Chen was about to break the ancient bronze lamp, it relayed its voice into Fang Chen's ears. "Brother, don't break that lamp, keep it. There's something good on it."

Upon hearing this, Fang Chen's hand paused mid-motion, and he changed direction, kicking Jue Wudi in the belly.

Jue Wudi was hurtled into the air before crashing heavily into the golden barrier, after which he fell heavily to the ground.

Fang Chen picked up the ancient bronze lamp.

"Fang Chen, Jue Wudi has already conceded. If you like this Dragon Bone Heavenly Lamp, I'll give it to you. Don't take further action against Jue Wudi!" Jue Feichen yelled.

Fang Chen put away the ancient bronze lamp and continued walking toward Jue Wudi.

Fang Chen picked up Jue Wudi as if he was picking up trash. Grabbing him by the neck, he lifted him up into the air.

Jue Feichen's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness as he shouted, "What else do you want?!"

Fang Chen smiled. "Bring Jiang Zhong here and I'll spare your life."

Jiang Tianai broke out in tears. It turns out Young Master is planning to exchange Jue Wudi's life for Uncle Zhong!

Jue Feichen spoke with a hint of anger. "Youngster, don't go too far and meddle in my family's affairs without permission. I won't argue with you anymore out of respect for Fang Tingjian's reputation. Are you still going to be so overbearing?"

"Senior, as a Golden Core Realm cultivator, you have a long life ahead. There's plenty of time for negotiations," said Fang Chen. "However, the younger generation is different. We are just Qi Refining Realm cultivators, and we have many enemies. We might drop dead one day without having the chance to speak about these matters."

Fang Chen smiled. "Bring Jiang Zhong here, and I'll return Jue Wudi to you. Although he's a bit of a useless fool, he's still considered a top-notch talent in your family. If you give up on him, it might take decades or even centuries before another Jue Wudi appears."

The crowd's expressions were strange. Although they didn't know who Jiang Zhong was, when Fang Chen said Jue Wudi was a top-notch talent, it seemed to make sense but also carried an endless sense of mockery.

"You!"

Jue Feichen, who was in the late stage of the Golden Core Realm, couldn't contain his anger. After a few moments of silence, he looked at Jue Fei'an, who naturally understood the meaning and turned to leave.

Jue Wudi, held by the neck, barely opened his swollen eyes, a sneer on his face. "It's all an illusion, isn't it, Fang Chen? Is that all you've got? You still can't break my Dragon Bone Heavenly Lamp, right?"

A voice suddenly sounded in Jue Wudi's ear.

"Third Junior Brother, this is not an illusion," it said. "You really lost. Don't provoke this person; live on and deal with him later."

Jue Wudi's triumphant smile froze. "What?"

He subconsciously looked at the Patriarch of the Southern Heavenly Sect.

Gradually, his expression became extremely horrified.

It wasn’t an illusion! Even if the other party can use Illusion Talismans, there's no way they would know about his second senior brother's existence!

This was not an illusion! Fang Chen had really torn apart the Dragon Bone Celestial Wrath aura! He really lost!

"How can this be... how can this be…?" Jue Wudi murmured to himself in disbelief.

How did he lose so miserably?! It was such an effortless defeat! He was in the Foundation Building Realm, while the other was just a Qi Refining Realm cultivator!

As the crowd witnessed Jue Wudi's expression shift, they vaguely understood that he had woken up to reality, realizing that none of this was an illusion.

Interesting, Fang Chen thought to himself.

He could sense Jue Wudi's shifting emotions, indicating that someone had communicated with him through sound transmission. It was no surprise that this person came from the Spirit Blood Sect. It was most likely the patriarch of the Southern Heavenly Sect.

"Fang Chen really won! He won so easily too!"

"What path is he following? Why is his physical body so terrifying, to the point where he's able to crush flying swords with his bare hands?"

The expressions of the Fang Family disciples were a mix of astonishment, joy, confusion, perplexity, and suspicion. They had expected today's battle to be extremely difficult for Fang Chen even if he had a chance of winning. But unexpectedly, after waiting for so long, the bet ended in the blink of an eye and the victor was determined.

In the crowd, Fairy Yu's eyes were filled with wondrous light. "The lord is so amazing…."

The female sword cultivator beside her looked at Fang Chen thoughtfully and whispered, "Junior Sister, don't you feel that this person is very familiar? Also, I sensed a hint of sword intent from him. It's likely that he is a sword cultivator, and it’s not one of a low rank."

"Sister, is he also a sword cultivator like us? Is that why you think he’s familiar?” Fairy Yu said calmly.

She knew her senior sister was proud by nature. Although they had met Fang Chen before, it was highly probable that her senior sister hadn't paid much attention to him and couldn't remember his appearance at all.

It was fortunate for all of them if that was the case.

"That's possible." The female sword cultivator frowned to herself. "A sword cultivator…. For us to encounter another sword cultivator here is too much of a coincidence. Could the Sword Embryo be on him?"

Fairy Yu's heart skipped a beat. She had a feeling that the female sword cultivator might be right. But he was her lord, and she couldn't let him be in a dangerous situation!

"Sister, the world doesn’t revolve around our Void Immortal Sword Sect; there are many experts who follow the path of sword cultivation even in first-tier empires, let alone second or third-tier empires," Fairy Yu communicated through sound transmission. "As for the Sword Embryo, someone capable of stealing it wouldn't be so weak! Moreover, he’s just a Qi Refining Realm cultivator! If you focus too much on this, you might lose sight of the real clues."

"You're right. Your mind is indeed sharper than mine in some aspects. I didn't take you in for nothing," said the female sword cultivator, then continued, "I'll go and talk to this sword cultivator to see if there are any clues on him after he's done with this bet. Perhaps he's the one who left behind this diversion."

"I'll do it. Senior Sister, you're not accustomed to these things," Fairy Yu said.

The female sword cultivator smiled and nodded.

They didn't wait long before Jue Feichen returned again. He was accompanied by a middle-aged man draped in a large blue robe this time.

The middle-aged man looked weary, his robe fluttering in the wind.

"Uncle Zhong!" Jiang Tianai suddenly broke free from Chang Feilan's grasp and rushed toward Jiang Zhong.

"Don't come over, Young Lady!" Jiang Zhong suddenly shouted in fear.

Unfortunately, it was already too late. Taking advantage of the moment, Jue Feichen reached out and grabbed Jiang Tianai and brought her over to him using his spiritual energy.

Jue Feichen bowed to the three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. "Elders, these two are enemies of the Jue Family. This junior from the Fang Family insists on meddling in our internal affairs. Please, elders, uphold justice."

Immortal White Tiger chuckled. "Since it's your internal affair, handle it yourselves."

Supreme Expert Dragon Wood and Immortal Void Rush remained silent.

A hint of joy flashed in Jue Feichen's eyes as he looked at Fang Chen and sneered. "If you want to kill Jue Wudi, I'll kill this girl and this old servant. Two lives for one, a fair trade!"

Fang Chen furrowed his brows. He hadn't expected Jue Feichen to resort to such extremes. Now that Jiang Tianai and Jiang Zhong were in his hands, he had lost his leverage.

"This is getting tricky. If I use Little Sword, trouble will come knocking from the Void Immortal Sword Sect, and the Spirit Blood Sect will also pay attention to me… but if I don't use Little Sword, I won't be able to instantly kill Jue Feichen…."

As Fang Chen was contemplating what to do, a celestial melody filled the air, surprising everyone as they looked up. A celestial boat appeared from the void, with many women dressed in cool attire dancing gracefully.

A majestic voice resounded in everyone's ears, causing even the three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to be distracted.

"Is there anyone from the Jiang Family here?"
