The Immortal Origin Stone area was bustling with activity at this moment.
“Master Fang is truly impressive!”
“Another success! Master Fang has been succeeding a lot recently, and we have benefited a lot from following him!”
Fang Chen had cut open another Immortal Origin Stone and exchanged the low-grade spirit stones he had just earned for Spirit Essence Pills. There were probably around a hundred Spirit Essence Pills in his storage ring by now.
Fang Chen pondered for a moment. "I'll give these pills to my father and younger sister after I return. With these pills, their cultivation will be able to advance rapidly."
If he could resolve the matter with the Spirit Blood Sect this time, he would immediately set off to Grand Xia.
He was starting to miss home a little.
The sixth princess followed beside Xia Ji, silently watching Fang Chen with a complicated emotion in her eyes. "It's only been a short time, but Fang Chen's skills have reached a level that I can hardly imagine…."
Fang Chen suddenly sent Xia Ji a voice transmission. "Xia Ji, is Immortal Fire Cloud not planning to leave yet?"
A few days ago, he had indirectly advised Immortal Fire Cloud, Elder Su, and Daoist Ya not to stay if they had nothing important to do.Xia Ji replied via voice transmission, "This girl's master has been interested in the scriptures in the Buddhist Hall recently and seems to have no intention of leaving. If we don't reveal the truth, she won't leave. But we can't be sure if she isn't a Spirit Blood Sect cultivator herself."
"Let it be. Whether it's good fortune or misfortune, it’s inescapable. It all depends on their fortune."
“By the way, should we really not inform my master about this? Although he is only at the Foundation Building Realm, he’s in the grand completion stage after all and is considered a half-step Golden Core Realm cultivator. If my master knows about this, perhaps he can be of great help at a critical moment.”
"We don't have to involve him for now. If the sky falls, there will be someone to hold it up. When the Spirit Blood Sect really makes a move, Grandmaster Chanyuan will be informed of this matter."
Fang Chen subconsciously glanced in the direction of Immortal Void Rush and suddenly sensed something amiss.
What's going on?
Fang Chen's divine soul immediately left his body and arrived near the three Golden Core Realm cultivators. The expressions of the three of them were somewhat solemn at the moment, even the carefree Immortal White Tiger was looking up at the sky profoundly. It seemed like there was something extraordinary in the sky.
Fang Chen looked up, and his pupils suddenly contracted. His divine soul felt unstable, creating ripples.
There were four cultivators dressed differently standing in the sky, each holding a blood-red stone tablet in their hands. Blood-colored energy continuously surged from these stone tablets, enveloping the Grand Qian Imperial City like a red mist.
The range of this phenomenon even covered the outer city. If it weren't for his divine soul, he wouldn't have been able to see such a sight.
Fang Chen's expression turned serious. "Spirit Blood Sect cultivators?! Are they setting up a formation?!"
In the next moment, Fang Chen's divine soul pierced through the sky and directly arrived next to the four individuals.
“Isn't this commotion a bit too big? I'm afraid it will attract the cultivators from the Killing Spiritual Division,” said one of them suddenly.
Another person sneered. “What's the Killing Spiritual Division? By the time they arrive, the Hidden Cloud Region will have already been engulfed in flames of war, and our Blood Spirit Pills will have been formed long ago.”
“The Spirit Blood Sect has always operated in the shadows. Taking on the task of refining an entire fifth-tier empire capital city, including three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators... Isn't it a bit reckless? If news of this spreads, all the other Spirit Blood Sect cultivators everywhere will likely suffer a blow.”
“There's no choice. Our leader is only a step away from breaking through from the Nascent Soul Realm so the amount of Blood Spirit Pills he needs is enormous. It's all because that Dongfang Haojie has a special constitution; not even Kunlong could poison him to death. This matter is also his responsibility. When our leader advances beyond Nascent Soul Realm, he'll probably have to bear the consequences.”
“No matter, as long as our leader breaks out of Nascent Soul Realm, our branch will remain stable, and we'll gain many benefits.”
Fang Chen's expression became grave. From the conversation of the four individuals, he learned that these four battle generals were subordinates of a grand completion Nascent Soul Realm cultivator! And that cultivator was the one planning to ascend to the Enlightenment Realm using the Hidden Cloud Region!
Fang Chen's eyes flashed with cold light. “Is this to break through the bottleneck and ascend from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Enlightenment Realm? Is that why they're treating the entire Hidden Region as an alchemy furnace?”
These Spirit Blood Sect cultivators were truly ruthless. They utterly disregarded the lives of others. They were even more sinister than the demonic cultivators he had heard of.
“Can Kunlong handle three early-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivators? Void Rush, White Tiger, and Dragon Wood are among the Azure Cloud Empire’s top experts. They are not easy to deal with.”
“If Kunlong can't suppress them, even if we blockade the entire Grand Qian Imperial City, we won't be able to use this place as a furnace.”
“Yes, this matter is extremely important. How confident is Kunlong? If we are able to refine Grand Qian, the entire Hidden Cloud Region will fall into chaos tomorrow. Conversely, if we fail, all our previous efforts will be in vain!”
“You can rest assured. Although Kunlong is in the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm too, his combat power is among the top in our ranks. Otherwise, why would our leader value him so much? He even said that in a few years, he will advance to the mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm, and in the future... he might even become our top leader!”
Fang Chen's eyebrows slightly furrowed. “Kunlong Battle General?”
In the next moment, his divine soul returned to his body. As he was making his way to Immortal Void Rush, he saw a black mist enveloping the area, covering the tens of yards around Immortal Void Rush in an instant.
“You dare!”
“Damn it. How dare you sneak attack me!”
“Amitabha Buddha!”
The voices of Immortal Void Rush, Immortal White Tiger, and Supreme Expert Dragon Wood consecutively sounded within the black mist. The Golden Core Realm cultivators present were puzzled by what was happening and revealed expressions of shock.
In the next second, countless screams echoed, followed by a flurry of skeletal remains flying out of the black mist. These skeletons didn't have even a sliver of flesh, as if they had been dead for many years. However, naturally, that wasn't the case, as these were people who had been alive and well moments ago. They had unfortunately been enveloped inside the black mist together.
Dongfang Haojie pulled Fairy Tianyin out of the black mist in a sorry state. He looked at the ground full of skeletal remains and felt lingering fear in his heart. He glanced back at the black mist. “Damn, I almost died in there!”
These people didn't die from the black mist but from the aftermath of the clash of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators! The aftermath of Nascent Soul Realm cultivator’s battles was terrifying. Just a touch can turn the whole body into minced meat!
If it weren't for the trump cards his father had given him, both Fairy Tianyin and he would have died in there!
“What happened?!” shouted a Golden Core Realm cultivator at Dongfang Haojie.
“Can't you see? It’s a sneak attack from a Nascent Soul Realm expert!” Dongfang Haojie retorted angrily. He didn't dare to utter the three words "Spirit Blood Sect" because he wasn't sure which of the Golden Core Realm cultivators around him were members of that sect. He just hoped that those Spirit Blood Sect dogs would remain mysterious and not make a move out in the open again!
