Chapter 741: Li Xiao Empire
A deep voice came from the Heaven Profound Mirror. "I have him. He is a remarkable talent."
Fang Chen felt the voice was somewhat familiar. After thinking carefully, he recalled where he had heard it before. It was during the day at the Desolate Academy when Senior Brother Li had taken them to the Alchemy Department, where they coincidentally encountered Qian Xinshi lecturing.
He recalled someone rasing an objection back then. This voice coming from the Heaven Profound Mirror belonged to that person!
"Brother, can you take action and kill this child?" asked Yu Qingmei in a low voice.
There was a few moments of silence from the Heaven Profound Mirror.
"Don't be foolish. With his status, if I were to take action, wouldn't that lead me to certain doom?"
Yu Qingmei said with a hint of grievance, "I was just saying it casually. In any case, I've already asked Bao Yuanqing to go to the Morning Star Dao Sect to find Daoist Dongxu. He will definitely take action to deal with Fang Chen for me."
"Right now, that matter is even more important. I cannot be distracted. If it succeeds, it will bring about earth-shattering changes for the Yu Family. Remember, you must not create any complications at this critical moment. As for Fang Chen... just hold off for now."
An important matter that could bring about earth-shattering changes for the Yu Family? What could be so important? thought Fang Chen.
"Brother, don't you want to kill him too? Not to mention Wu'er's matter, just his actions at the Azure Dao Manor should stir your killing intent. Your disciple... also died at his hands. Qin Nie was outstandingly talented. Had he not died, he would have been a future pillar of the Yu Family."
Fang Chen suddenly raised his head, staring intently at Yu Qingmei.
Azure Dao Manor, Qin Nie.
He had already figured out who was on the other side of the Heaven Profound Mirror—it was the Radiant Sun Spirit Lord that Shen Ji wanted him to find!
To his surprise, the Radiant Sun Spirit Lord turned out to be a member of the Yu Family and the brother of the Heavenly King Zhen's concubine!
He initially thought there were no leads or clues in this matter, but now Yu Qingmei had presented him with a lead!
The fact that Yu Qingmei could say such things meant that she had to be a Spirit Blood Sect cultivator. Rather, perhaps the entire Yu Family was affiliated with the Spirit Blood Sect!
"I have many disciples across the world. The deaths of a few are of no consequence. If they cannot survive to the end, it only shows that they are less skilled and deserve to die. Besides Qin Nie, I have two other disciples who also died at Fang Chen's hands. At that time, I had already heard of this child's name but did not take it seriously; I merely sent Qinglong to kill him.
"Had I known that this child would grow to become the person he is today, I might have acted personally back then. If even I am not in a rush about this matter, why should you be so anxious? You should know what is more important for us."
Fang Chen's gaze grew increasingly grave. "The old ancestor of Heavenly Southern Sect and Jue Wudi... were also his disciples? So he truly has disciples all over the world. What a Radiant Sun Spirit Lord! It seems that the events in the Hidden Cloud Region are also closely related to him. While he is in the Desolate Academy, he has extended his influence across the world...."@@@@
That was merely one Spirit Lord of the Spirit Blood Sect. There had to be many others of similar status within the sect. While not all would possess the strength and means like that of the Radiant Sun Spirit Lord, upon closer thought, their schemes had to be reaping the lives of many still.
Xu Qingsong's eyes shifted. He could guess that Ji Liang intended to send out his Yin Soldier.
Sure enough, when night fell, a blood-red paper figure silently appeared beside Ji Liang.
The paper figure revealed a sinister smile. "Lord, what do you need me to do?"
"I need you to investigate a certain location. Be cautious in your actions, and don't let the Yongan Patrol discover you. Otherwise, I won't be able to come up with an excuse for why you're there."
The blood paper figure let out a strange laugh. "Don't worry, it won't be easy for them to discover me."
After receiving the order from Ji Liang, it transformed into a streak of blood light, merging with the darkness of the night and disappearing into the shadows.
Xu Qingsong watched this scene, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes. As a disciple of a Dao sect, he knew that this technique was the legendary Heavenly Abhorrence Technique. It represented the true essence of ancient Dao!
Due to the loss of the Dao inheritance, even if the Great Expansion Dao Sect had a few Heavenly Abhorrence Techniques, they would struggle to activate them.
Ji Liang had his hands clasped behind his back. "Just wait a moment, and there will be news. There's no need to rush."
He looked at Xu Qingsong with a seemingly amused expression. "In a few years, I will reach the Nascent Soul Realm and will visit that immortal ruins. Do you think the three great Dao sects would assist me?"
Xu Qingsong's expression shifted. He clasped his fist and said, "You must be joking, Young Master. Soon, you will be the only Dao child among our three great Dao Sects. If we do not work hand in hand with you, who else could we partner with?"
Ji Liang's lips curled up slightly.
Moments later, the blood paper figure silently reappeared before them.
"Lord, the person you are looking for is not here."
Ji Liang's brows furrowed slightly. "Not here?"
Xu Qingsong snorted coldly. "He must have left the capital quietly."
***
Months passed.
Fang Chen gazed at the magnificent city before him and couldn't help but exclaim, "The capital of Li Xiao Empire. At first glance, it does not look inferior to that of the Central Continent."
This place was the second-tier empire, Li Xiao.
