The sea of flames formed by the Lavender Flame has completely vanished. The Azure Ancient Lamp hovers above Fang Chen's crown, its purple wick gently swaying, seemingly ready to unleash immense power at any moment.
Beside Fang Chen, the five individuals who had been engulfed by the Lavender Flame after the barrier shattered now lay on the ground, their breaths weak and their faces listless. A long rope made of Lavender Flame is wrapped around them, while the other end is held in Fang Chen's hand.
Looking up at the cold gaze projected from mid-air, Fang Chen smiled and raised his head.
"You seem to have arrived late," Fang Chen said with a smile, exuding an air of calmness that suggested he was not conversing with a powerful Alchemy Realm expert who could strike at any moment.
"Senior Brother Yuanling, please save us!" Qin Ye, bound like a rice dumpling, suddenly screamed. Although the long rope formed by the Lavender Flame had retracted its scorching heat, the feeling of life being at someone else's mercy still left Qin Ye in extreme panic. At this moment, Yuanling's appearance seemed to him like the only lifeline.
Yuanling, dressed in a blue robe and floating in mid-air, glanced at Qin Ye with an expression of slight displeasure. He frowned and said, "Let them go, and I will let you leave."
"Let them go?" Fang Chen scoffed, a cold smile appearing on his lips. Ignoring Yuanling in mid-air, he instead spoke to the air as if to himself: "Two dignified Alchemy Realm experts still want to hide for how much longer?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent for a moment. Yuanling's expression also changed slightly.
Had he truly discovered them? Was it a genuine discovery or just a ruse?
It was quite unbelievable that a Little One who had yet to reach the Qi Boundary could detect Transcendence Realm Warriors who were deliberately concealing their presence. If it were merely a ruse to draw them out, then Fang Chen's certain demeanor did not seem like an act.
Quietly waiting, Fang Chen maintained his expression and did not speak further; he simply focused intently on the purple rope in his hand. As time passed, an invisible pressure began to emanate from him.
Finally, at a location several dozen yards away from Fang Chen, two figures appeared strangely.
"How did you discover us?" they asked in unison.
Two middle-aged men, muscular and fierce-looking, exuded a strong Killing Intent. Their faces bore some resemblance to each other.
"Master of the Black Water Sect, Hong Zheng, and Deputy Master, Hong Tao."
Fang Chen spoke calmly, showing no signs of emotion.
Before they could respond, Fang Chen smirked coldly, "You wouldn't be saying the same thing, would you?" As he spoke, he looked up at Yuanling in the air, his mocking expression evident: "Standing so high, aren't you tired?"
Yuanling's body suddenly stiffened, and a flash of killing intent crossed his pale face. How dare a mere Body Refinement Realm Ninth Layer individual mock him!
"As long as the Fang Family is willing to hand over the Purple Sun Token, our Black Water Sect will absolutely not get involved in this matter; we can even ally with the Fang Family," Hong Zheng said, glancing at his son Hong Dali before fixing his gaze on Fang Chen with a fervent look.
"Hong Zheng!" Yuanling's expression darkened further upon hearing this. They had originally agreed to jointly deal with the Fang Family and discuss how to divide the Purple Sun Token after eliminating them. Now, Hong Zheng was using the Purple Sun Token as a bargaining chip with the Fang Family instead of him, effectively sidelining Cloud Dust Sect in an instant.
Hong Zheng disdainfully glanced at Yuanling. Although he appeared rough around the edges, he was not foolish. Collaborating with Cloud Dust Sect was merely a superficial alliance; once they eliminated the Fang Family, he believed that the Purple Sun Token would still belong to Black Water Sect. The blame for provoking Ziyang Sect would likely fall on them.
Understanding this clearly, Hong Zheng had always delayed whenever Yuanling wanted to join forces against the Fang Family. He waited for this opportunity! By leveraging Cloud Dust Sect's pressure on Black Water Sect, he aimed to push the Fang Family into a corner and then suddenly present them with a glimmer of hope, leaving them no choice but to cooperate with him.
Ignoring Yuanling's furious reprimand, Hong Zheng focused intently on Fang Chen, waiting for his response. He knew well that although this young man was only at Body Refinement Realm cultivation level, he held significant status within the Fang Family. If he agreed, those two old fellows in the Fang Family would undoubtedly follow suit.
"The Purple Sun Token!" Hong Zheng clenched his fists tightly.
"I can give you the Purple Sun Token," Fang Chen said, his expression shifting rapidly as he gritted his teeth.
Suddenly, Hong Zheng relaxed his tightly clenched fist, revealing a look of joy.
However, unlike Hong Zheng, Xia Lingyue, who had been quietly standing beside Fang Chen without saying a word, suddenly flashed a gleam of schadenfreude in her eyes. Having spent some time with Fang Chen, she knew very well that this guy definitely had no good intentions in mind.
Moreover, what was the Purple Sun Token? It was the highlight of the Haoyuan Auction House. Even a powerful force like the Charming Immortal Sect had to present their strong connections in the Heavenly Realm and bid with a huge amount of spirit stones to obtain it. How could this cunning guy possibly hand it over so easily?
Sure enough, just as a smile appeared on Hong Zheng's face, Fang Chen spoke up: "As long as you kill him, I will gladly hand over the Purple Sun Token."
Saying this, Fang Chen pointed at Yuanling in mid-air.
As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Hong Zheng's face suddenly froze. In mid-air, Yuanling's expression changed repeatedly, becoming extremely gloomy. The look he directed at Fang Chen was so cold it could freeze!
"Are you kidding me?" Hong Zheng said in a deep voice, his expression unfriendly.
Asking them to kill Yuanling? That was simply a joke. Not to mention that Yuanling was a disciple of the Cloud Dust Sect; killing him would undoubtedly provoke a furious pursuit from the Cloud Dust Sect against Black Water Sect. More importantly, if they had the strength to kill Yuanling, why would they need to collaborate with him in the first place?
Although only Yuanling from the Cloud Dust Sect had reached the Alchemy Realm and he was merely at the early stage of Alchemy Realm, which was similar to their own level, the strength among those at the initial stage of Supreme Creation Realm varied significantly. Clearly, Yuanling's combat power was much stronger than both of them since he was already very close to reaching the mid-stage of Alchemy Realm. While they could suppress Yuanling together, they were still far from being able to kill him; it was simply impossible.
"If you can't do it, then I have no other options," Fang Chen shrugged and said.
With that, he shook the long rope made of Lavender Flame in his hand, pulling Fang Ziyao and the others along as he turned to head towards Fang Residence.
"Seeking death!" Seeing this scene, Yuanling could no longer suppress the killing intent in his eyes. He extended his hand, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy from all directions instantly converged into his palm above him. With a slight tremor of his hand, a pillar of Spiritual Energy shot towards Fang Chen at lightning speed.
In a fit of rage, Yuanling's strike was incredibly fierce, capable of annihilating mid-level Qi Boundary martial artists. Even a Late Stage of the Qi-Refining Realm martial artist would be severely injured. After forcibly unleashing his power by consuming pills to cast the Lavender Flame from the Azure Ancient Lamp, his Qi Energy was now running low. Faced with such a terrifying blow, he was likely in grave danger!
"Yuanling really means business," Hong Tao murmured, frowning slightly. "Shouldn't we stop him?"
"If that kid dies, it might not be a bad thing for us. After all, we are not the ones killing him. And Yuanling, do you think the Fang Family will still give that Purple Sun Token to Yuanling afterward?" Hong Zheng replied calmly.
"Are you saying...?" Realizing the implication behind Hong Zheng's words, Hong Tao's eyes lit up.
"Just watch. I have a feeling this kid won't go down so easily." Looking at the figure standing tall in front of him, showing no signs of fear but rather calmness and even a hint of mockery, Hong Zheng frowned and spoke softly.
Beside Fang Chen, Fang Nansiao was tightly bound by a purple rope, looking up with a sinister grin at the Spiritual Energy pillar breaking through the air. There was a hint of madness on his face. "Fang Chen, you've endured for so long. How does it feel? In the end, you can't escape death!"
Having thought victory was assured multiple times only to be thwarted by Fang Chen, Fang Nansiao could hardly see any hope of killing his nemesis. Yet now, looking at the impending Frenzy Spiritual Energy pillar, he knew that Fang Chen would not be able to withstand this blow!
Listening to Fang Nansiao's curse-like laughter, Fang Chen remained unfazed, his handsome face still calm and even sporting a faint smile.
"Do you believe that Yuanling will personally reclaim this Spiritual Energy pillar?"
Seeing Fang Nansiao's mocking expression, Fang Chen's smile widened. Suddenly, he shook his hand, and the purple rope shot up into the air. The five individuals bound by it were lifted as if they were balloons, soaring towards the sky above Fang Chen where the incoming Spiritual Energy pillar awaited.
"Bastard!"
"You little brat, let us down!"
"Dammit, stop it!"
"Brother Yuanling, don't!"
...
The sounds of curses and cries echoed at that moment.
Originally just watching, Hong Zheng and Hong Tao's expressions changed drastically. This was because Hong Dali was also thrown into the air by Fang Chen, and once the Spiritual Energy pillar descended, the first to be shattered would be the five of them!
Fang Chen looked up at Yuanling in mid-air, his smile undiminished. To Yuanling, this smile became a silent mockery.
"Do you dare?" Fang Chen mouthed silently.
Dare? Yuanling truly did not dare. Not only was there Hong Dali, the only son of Hong Zheng, but there were also two fellow junior disciples. If he killed all five of them, he would likely face the desperate pursuit of the Hong brothers immediately. Even if he managed to escape back to the sect, just the crime of slaughtering fellow disciples would be enough to expel him from the sect.
Thinking of this, Yuanling's already grim face turned as dark as a pot bottom. Yet even so, some things still had to be done. He suddenly clenched his hand that was reaching toward Fang Chen, and at the moment Yuanling's fingers closed, the Spiritual Energy pillar that was about to strike Fang Ziyao and the others exploded in mid-air with a loud bang.
