Immortal of the Nine Realms

In the blink of an eye, the young man slapped Chen Sheng hundreds of times, even draining some of his spiritual energy. After all, he was only a third stage Qi Refining Realm cultivator.

However... Chen Sheng hadn't dared to use his spiritual power to protect himself, so his cheeks were now swollen and red, and his eyes were bloodshot. He no longer appeared as the elegant and noble young master he once did.

Old Wang and the others had lowered their heads, afraid to continue watching Chen Sheng. The Qi Refining Realm cultivator who had insulted Fang Chen and was now cowering in the corner of the tea room, his trembling hands revealing how terrified he was.

The old man finally couldn't help but ask Fang Chen cautiously, "Sen-Senior... shouldn't that be enough?"

Fang Chen smiled. "Don't you want to have a go at him too?"

The old man and the others fell into silence.

After a few breaths, the young couple gritted their teeth and stepped forward, pulling the young man away before delivering slaps to Chen Sheng's face, one after another.

Chen Sheng had thought enduring some humiliation would be enough to get through this, but now he realized that the Xu Family members were all eager to have a go at him!

Chen Sheng finally spoke through clenched teeth. "Enough of this!"

Fang Chen looked at Chen Sheng. "Is it really enough?"

After a moment of silence, Chen Sheng shook his head slowly. "N-No… please, continue."

The young couple breathed a sigh of relief and continued to deliver slaps squarely to his face.

Before long, half an hour had passed.

The old man waved his sleeves angrily, delivering a fierce slap across Chen Sheng's face while cursing at him.

"You old thing! You're a mighty Golden Core Realm cultivator yet you're stooping so low so as to do such lowly deeds! When has the Xu Family ever offended you? You've been pushing us around for over half a year, making us hide and flee like rats on the street!"

Slap!

"You're just a dog's fart! An old monster of several hundred years! Yet you act like a young man all day long, letting people call you 'Young Master.' Are you even worthy of that?"

Slap!

"You old rabbit! Why aren't you making a sound now? Didn't expect that a Foundation Building Realm cultivator like me could slap your face, did you?!"

Slap!

"If I don't beat you to death today, I'm not your father!"

He continued to curse with every slap, almost one curse for every hit, spewing out all sorts of venomous words. The young couple and the group of young people were dumbfounded, never expecting their old ancestor to have such a sharp tongue. Almost every insult was different!

The Foundation Building Realm wasn't the same as the Qi Refining Realm. While it was true that a Golden Core Realm cultivator like Chen Sheng could withstand slaps from Qi Refinement cultivators due to his body being tempered by constant spiritual energy nourishment, when faced up against a Foundation Building Realm cultivator, without properly defending himself, he'd be hard pressed to brush off the slaps.

Chen Sheng's eyes were askew and his mouth was crooked from the beating, enduring the old man's vicious curses. Several times, he almost lost control and wanted to lash out.

Endure! I must endure! As long as I survive today, all humiliations will be avenged! Chen Sheng reassured himself inwardly.

At the same time, he kept a close eye on Fang Chen, watching his expressions, afraid that his secret had been exposed. If that were the case, he would have no way out today.

“I’m out of energy…” The old man suddenly muttered to himself. He waved his sleeves and bowed to Fang Chen with clasped fists. "Many thanks, senior!"

The young couple and the group of young boys and girls also bowed to Fang Chen and expressed their gratitude. "Many thanks, senior!"

Chen Sheng felt a slight relief. "It's finally over…."

Fang Chen nodded to the old man. "You can leave now."

The old man was tactful and didn't say much, quickly leading his family away.

"Sir, now that you have vented your anger, is this matter considered settled?" Chen Sheng cautiously asked.

Fang Chen sighed softly. "I'm not in a good mood today."

It's not my concern if you're not in a good mood! Chen Sheng cursed inwardly.

However, he outwardly forced a smile and said, "How can I make you feel better? Ah, how could I be so befuddled!"

He slapped his own head, then took off a storage ring and placed it in front of Fang Chen slowly.

Although he was smiling, Chen Sheng felt his heart bleeding.

"Sir, this is all my belongings. Can this make you feel better? The spirit imprint has been erased, so you don't need to worry about it," Chen Sheng said.

Fang Chen took a glance at the storage ring. Inside were three high-grade, yellow-rank treasures with around seventy Soul Imprints. Chen Sheng was only in the early-stage Golden Core Realm, and ordinary experts at that level would only possess treasures with forty or so soul imprints. He could be considered quite wealthy.

It seemed that Chen Sheng had gained quite a bit from running his side business on this boat for many years.

In addition to these three treasures, there were piles and piles of low-grade spirit stones inside. They appeared to be in the neighborhood of around thirty thousand.

"You think I'm a fool? Now I'm even more upset." Fang Chen shook his head lightly. "After extorting cultivators for so many years, you only have thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones?"

"I have used most of the spirit stones in recent years to buy medicine, treasures, and other expenses. It has not been easy saving up thirty thousand," Chen Sheng hurriedly explained.

Thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones?!

Old Wang and the others couldn't help but gasp at this revelation. They now realized how wealthy Chen Sheng was. For ordinary cultivators, that amount of spirit stones was beyond imagination!

Seeing Fang Chen's silence, Chen Sheng's heart skipped a beat. He quickly looked at Old Wang and the others and said, "What are you still standing there for!?"

Old Wang and the others were slightly stunned, then quickly took off their storage rings and put them in front of Fang Chen with apologetic smiles.

"Are all your men here?" Fang Chen asked calmly without touching the storage rings.

Chen Sheng felt relieved. As long as Fang Chen was willing to talk, he would be fine. When Fang Chen didn't speak, he was really afraid that Fang Chen had already discovered his secret!

"Please wait a moment, Sir. I'll call them all over right away," Chen Sheng said as he prepared to take out the Transmission Talisman.

"I said: if you take out your Transmission Talisman, I'll send you on your way," Fang Chen said calmly.

Chen Sheng froze.

Fang Chen softly asked, "Among this group, are there any who, like you, are from the Spirit Blood Sect?”

At these words, both Chen Sheng and the female cultivator beside him visibly stiffened, as if struck by lightning. Their bodies turned rigid!

Old Wang and the others showed expressions of confusion, then horror, as they looked at Chen Sheng.

Spirit Blood Sect cultivators?! Their young master was from the Spirit Blood Sect?!

How is that possible…? I thought this sect was just a legend and didn't actually exist in the world! thought Old Wang.

Chen Sheng forced a smile. "You're joking, how could I possibly be a Spirit Blood Sect cultivator…."

However, on the inside, he was experiencing shockwaves of fear! He had been discovered! But what gave him away? He wasn't wearing his affiliation on his face…!

"Now, there is no need for you to deny it, right? The Spirit Blood Sect has been looking for me, haven't they? Is it because of the Azure Dragon Battle General? Hmm, it should be him, after all, I killed his junior brothers," Fang Chen said with a faint smile.

At this moment, his grayish-white pupils were covered in golden patterns, and his Primordial Immortal Eye had already opened, allowing him to observe a hint of unusual expression on Chen Sheng's face.

It was confirmed. The Azure Dragon Battle General was indeed the senior brother of the Invincible Duo. No wonder Jue Wudi was so arrogant initially; his senior brother was one of the Four Saint Battle Generals, and their master had to be in the Middle Three Realms!

Immortal Void Rush had mentioned that cultivators of that level in the Spirit Blood Sect were known as Spirit Monarchs, and they were the true high-ranking members of the sect!

The forced smile on Chen Sheng's face faded, and he said coldly, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let those ants humiliate me just now."

"You can retaliate, but you'll soon lose your life. You should think carefully about why you're still alive," Fang Chen said.

Chen Sheng hesitated for a moment, his survival instinct rising again. He forced a smile and said, "What… what are your orders?"
