In the hall, the sorrowful and hoarse laughter of Fang Zheng Tian echoed.
An overwhelming sense of extreme sadness and helplessness enveloped both Fang Qingshan and Fang Chen like a torrent.
Clenching his fists tightly, a trace of blood appeared in his dark eyes without him realizing it. Affected by this intense emotional force, Fang Chen couldn't help but recall the memories he had long wished to forget.
The family was destroyed, his father died tragically before his eyes, and he had no way to stop it all. That feeling of powerlessness deeply pierced him, nearly driving him insane!
"No, Father, you are not that kind of person!" The usually composed Fang Qingshan tightly grasped Fang Zheng Tian's hand, agitated like a child.
Killing one's brother to seize power was undoubtedly an extremely ugly accusation.
Shaking his head bitterly, Fang Zheng Tian spoke slowly, "Nan Tian was indeed killed by my own hands."
Fang Nantian, Fang Nansiao, and Fang Botao's father, was a figure in the Fang Residence that was treated like a taboo, never mentioned by anyone.
Gazing at Fang Qingshan and Fang Chen, Fang Zheng Tian sighed lightly and said, "Some things you should know now."
His words flowed out softly, carrying a hint of nostalgia.
"The Spirit Realm Continent is divided into four major regions: East, South, West, and North. In terms of the Southern Region alone, numerous countries exist; our Great Zhao Kingdom is merely an inconspicuous remote country among them."
Fang Chen nodded; he had seen these details in some ancient texts. But the next moment, Fang Zheng Tian's words startled him.
"Our Fang Family originally did not belong to the Great Zhao Kingdom but migrated from the distant Heavenly Flame Kingdom. To be more precise, it was to escape disaster."
Fang Zheng Tian's revelation was shocking: "Back then, the main branch of the Fang Family offended a group of mysterious individuals for unknown reasons. In an instant, it fell apart, and branches everywhere were hunted down frantically. Our branch fled here to the Great Zhao Kingdom to avoid calamity."
"When we were escaping from the Heavenly Flame Kingdom, we were pursued. Nan Tian protected our clan and was poisoned severely; his mind became chaotic and gradually turned into a bloodthirsty madman with no cure. In the end, I had to kill him with my own hands."
After finishing his words, Fang Zheng Tian fell silent once again.
Upon hearing Fang Zheng Tian's words, Fang Chen was shocked and suddenly recalled the bizarre extermination incident of the Fang Family in his previous life.
"Fang Family, Heavenly Flame Kingdom, pursuit, mysterious figures..." Fang Chen murmured to himself.
His body trembled, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. After listening to his grandfather's words and understanding the origins of the Fang Family, he finally realized why the Fang Family had been exterminated without warning in his past life.
Unlike the Wang Family, which was exterminated overnight with some clues to follow due to the Spirit Mine and the Absolute Yin Realm beneath it, the extermination of the Fang Family had no apparent reason. Even during his subsequent quest for revenge, Fang Chen often questioned the origins of his rival.
Now that he thought about it, everything seemed to stem from the Heavenly Flame Kingdom and the main lineage of the Fang Family. The reason why the Fang Family in Fengyan City was exterminated was that their rival from the Heavenly Flame Kingdom had come knocking!
"Heavenly Flame Kingdom, main lineage of the Fang Family." Fang Chen silently memorized these two names in his heart. At the same time, he secretly resolved that he must visit the Heavenly Flame Kingdom when given the chance.
However, at this moment, Fang Chen knew that the most important thing was how to deal with the impending extermination event that would occur in a short time. According to his previous life's timeline, there were only about six months left before those mysterious figures arrived and the Fang Family faced extermination.
In these six months, should they flee directly or what?
Fang Chen felt conflicted; he didn't know whether he should tell his father and grandfather about this information. If he did, how could he explain it? Would they believe him? Could he really say that he had been reborn? That seemed too absurd.
Yet if he didn't say anything, Fang Chen couldn't think of a way to persuade his father and grandfather to relocate the entire Fang Family. After all, the current Fang Family had deep roots in Fengyan City after decades of development. If they were to move now, not only would there be significant financial losses, but it would also require considerable effort. Without a reasonable justification, no one in the Fang Family would agree to such a move.
"What should I do?" Fang Chen anxiously rubbed his forehead.
"Grandfather, since we were able to migrate from the Heavenly Flame Kingdom to Great Zhao Kingdom, do you think those mysterious figures might have also come to Great Zhao Kingdom?" Fang Chen decided to hint at this to remind his grandfather and father.
After learning about the identities of those mysterious figures, Fang Chen was already leaning towards temporarily avoiding danger by having the Fang Family leave Fengyan City. After all, the Heavenly Flame Kingdom was not comparable to a remote small country like Great Zhao Kingdom; it was filled with various powerful factions and complexities.
Moreover, from what he gathered from Fang Zheng Tian's brief remarks earlier, it seemed that the former main lineage of the Fang Family possessed immense strength. Such a powerful force had ultimately been destroyed; one could only imagine how formidable those mysterious figures were.
Furthermore, based on his experiences from his previous life, it was clear that the forces behind those mysterious figures were terrifying. They would eliminate one group only for an even stronger group to appear soon after. His own strength in Heavenly Realm transitioned from being an assassin to becoming a hunted target who ultimately had to self-destruct in desperation.
Fang Chen did not want such tragedies to happen again. What he lacked most now was time. He believed that temporarily avoiding danger and relocating the Fang Family elsewhere would be wise. Once he regained his previous strength or even became stronger than before, it wouldn't be too late to emerge again. This was indeed the safest approach. With the wonders of Life and Death Transformation Technique, he would surely surpass what he achieved in his past life and might even have a chance at reaching the pinnacle of martial arts. By then, what would he have to fear from these shadowy figures?
As soon as Fang Chen's words fell, Fang Zheng Tian frowned and said, "The Heavenly Flame Kingdom is quite far from the Great Zhao Kingdom, separated by several countries, and we would have to cross most of the Tianyin Mountain Range, which is extremely dangerous. Moreover, we did not decide where to go initially; we were merely fleeing and ended up in the Great Zhao Kingdom..."
Fang Zheng Tian did not continue, but his implication was clear: he obviously did not believe that these mysterious individuals would find them so far away in the Great Zhao Kingdom.
After a pause, seeing Fang Chen's worried expression, Fang Zheng Tian boldly declared, "Even if they come, what can they do? The men of the Fang Family have no reason to shy away from a fight! Besides, the path of martial arts is about forging ahead bravely. Back then, our strength was too disparate, and we could only flee. Now, let alone that these mysterious individuals haven't arrived yet; even if they did, how much strength would they have left after such a long journey? If I still dare not fight now, how can I call myself Fang Zheng Tian!"
Fang Zheng Tian's bold words struck Fang Chen like a wake-up call, invigorating him.
"Indeed, the path of martial arts should be about pushing forward. When the Fang Family was exterminated, those mysterious individuals who appeared were at most at the Primordial Embryo Realm. Why should I ever have had any thoughts of avoidance against mere Primordial Embryo Realm warriors? If I truly back down this time, how far can I go on my martial arts journey afterward?"
Fang Chen silently questioned himself, growing increasingly alarmed. He realized he had nearly fallen into a trap—one that could significantly impact his future progress in martial arts. Fortunately, his grandfather's inspiring words brought him back to clarity.
"There are still six months left; a Primordial Embryo Realm warrior shouldn't be able to stifle me, Fang Chen!" A fierce light flickered in Fang Chen's eyes.
Pressure can sometimes serve as a powerful motivation. Six months is neither too long nor too short; it is not something that can be resolved overnight. With this half-year as a buffer and armed with the Nine Yang Red Dragon Fruit and the miraculous Life and Death Transformation Technique, he might still have a fighting chance!
With these thoughts in mind, Fang Chen's eyes sparkled with determination as he regained his confidence.
"Father, what should we do about Mu Yang?" Recovering from his initial shock, Fang Qingshan furrowed his brows and asked.
Mu Yang had been killed by Fang Chen. Although the matter had temporarily been kept under wraps by the Fang Family, it wouldn't remain hidden for long. Eventually, powerful figures from the Cloud Dust Sect would surely come to Fengyan City. With enough clues available, it wouldn't be impossible to trace it back to Fang Chen. Even if they couldn't directly link him to it, as the foremost family in Fengyan City, the Fang Family would still bear undeniable suspicion.
Moreover, Fang Ziyao was a disciple of the Cloud Dust Sect while Fang Botao had been completely crippled by Fang Chen. This situation could easily turn the Cloud Dust Sect into a formidable enemy for the Fang Family. Having such a powerful adversary would certainly not make things easy for them.
Waving his hand dismissively, Fang Zheng Tian suddenly pulled out a token that looked like neither stone nor jade from his pocket. The grayish-blue token was simple and ancient in design; it was palm-sized with only two dark golden characters inscribed on it.
"Ziyang!"
Fang Chen murmured softly before suddenly recalling an extremely powerful and mysterious sect within the Great Zhao Kingdom—the Ziyang Sect!
In a remote small country like the Great Zhao Kingdom, a Primordial Embryo Realm warrior was already considered a strong figure; those at the Heavenly Realm stood at the pinnacle of power. Within the Ziyang Sect, there were several Heavenly Realm experts and even rumors of terrifying beings beyond the Heavenly Realm.
The Ziyang Sect, although established within the Great Zhao Kingdom, does not limit its recruitment of disciples to just the Great Zhao Kingdom. Whenever the Ziyang Sect opens its doors for new disciples, many young martial artists from surrounding countries come to participate in the Entry Assessment. Surprisingly, the Great Zhao Kingdom tacitly accepts this practice of the Ziyang Sect without any interference.
In his previous life, Fang Chen, despite being a strong figure in the Heavenly Realm, always held a sense of trepidation towards the mysterious Ziyang Sect and had little interaction with it. Nevertheless, he was well aware of what the Azure Gray Purple Token represented. It was a precious qualification that allowed entry into the Ziyang Sect without undergoing any assessment, and its existence signified that the family held the protection of the Ziyang Sect.
How could his grandfather possess a Purple Sun Token? Fang Chen wondered.
Not to mention the latter's function, even the former—a Purple Sun Token equated to a qualification for entering the Ziyang Sect. This was already quite valuable. After all, the Entry Assessment of the Ziyang Sect was notoriously brutal, with very few ultimately succeeding and even fewer managing to leave unscathed; most perished during the Entry Assessment.
In such circumstances, a Purple Sun Token became something that many powerful factions sought after by any means necessary. Moreover, as long as the holder did not use this Purple Sun Token, their family would be under the protection of the Ziyang Sect. For many factions in the Great Zhao Kingdom, this was akin to holding a death-free pass!
At the moment Fang Zheng Tian revealed this Purple Sun Token, Fang Chen distinctly sensed that the atmosphere around them had changed.
Fang Qingshan's previously calm demeanor suddenly trembled; he stared intently at the palm-sized Purple Sun Token, his fists clenched tightly.
"This is what Ling Rou left behind before she disappeared," Fang Zheng Tian sighed and said.
"Ling Rou, Ye Lingrou!" Fang Chen's heart skipped a beat; wasn't that his mother who had already "died"?
