The eerie Purple Cloud has dissipated, and the indifferent voice that echoed through the heavens is no more. Now, with the death of Chu Fangtian and the expulsion of Liu Dong and his five companions, only Luo Qingyan remains in the air above the mountain path.
"Let's go." Her gaze swept over the crowd on the mountain path, finally pausing on Fang Chen. With a gentle wave of her hand, an invisible Qi Energy enveloped everyone instantly. A feeling of soaring through clouds followed as they all surged toward Ziyang Sect.
……
Ziyang Sect, located at the southernmost point of the Great Zhao Kingdom, lies at the heart of the Purple Sun Mountain Range, marking the end of this mountain path.
Rushing through Luo Qingyan's Vital Energy, after just a few breaths, Fang Chen could clearly see from mid-air that not far away, in the depths of the Purple Sun Mountain Range, there was a massive dome-shaped light shield nearly thousands of feet high, as if it had been inverted from the sky, seemingly encompassing both day and night beneath it.
Within that light shield, ancient and weathered halls stood tall. Underneath its vast expanse, countless sounds of rushing wind could be heard. From Fang Chen's vantage point, he could see numerous figures moving like ants below, an indescribable grandeur and surging aura rising to the heavens.
"Hiss..."
Behind Luo Qingyan, Fang Chen was equally shocked by the sight before him. He took a deep breath, gazing at the light shield that seemed to envelop the sky, then looking at the towering mountains surrounding Ziyang Sect, which exuded an ancient aura. A sense of primordiality washed over him.
In his past life, although he was a strong figure in the Heavenly Realm and had encountered many grand scenes, he had never witnessed a sect of such scale. At this moment, Fang Chen finally understood the vast difference between a super Sect with a Dao Sovereign Realm Expert and an ordinary one. Just this disparity in scale was enough to leave one in awe.
Not only Fang Chen, but also those behind him were so stunned that they struggled to react. At this moment, they had completely forgotten their previous negative impressions of Ziyang Sect due to the actions of Liu Dong and his six companions before the Dao Sovereign Realm Expert intervened. With such a large-scale sect, how weak could it possibly be? Moreover, there was a terrifying existence far beyond even the Heavenly Realm.
For a moment, aside from Fang Chen, everyone else looked at Ziyang Sect with burning eyes. Compared to this magnificent sect, their own seemed insignificant.
"Welcome to Ziyang Sect," said Luo Qingyan, observing the shock on everyone's faces. A smile involuntarily appeared on her cool features.
"So this is Ziyang Sect..." someone murmured behind Fang Chen, their eyes filled with fascination and disbelief. Faced with the group of disciples from Chiyang Sect who formed a Hunter, they had originally thought it impossible for them to pass through that only passage due to their lack of strength. Yet now, following behind Fang Chen, they found themselves here in what felt like a dream; it all seemed surreal as they reflected on it.
"News about my mother..." After recovering from his shock, Fang Chen quickly regained his composure as a glimmer sparked in his eyes. He had taken considerable risks to come to Ziyang Sect, and this was precisely for that purpose.
"Let's go, follow me into the Ziyang Sect. You are not yet true disciples of the Ziyang Sect, so do not act recklessly." Luo Qingyan raised her delicate hand, and a beam of azure light instantly shot out from her palm, merging into the massive barrier in front of them.
Buzz!
Ripples quickly spread across the barrier, and the faint fluctuations emanating from it made Fang Chen's scalp tingle. However, this also slightly eased his anxiety and intense sense of danger.
Fang Chen knew very well that such a level of power would instantly obliterate anyone from the Heavenly Realm who tried to force their way in. Even for those at the Daoist Master Realm, breaking through would not be an easy task.
He cast a fleeting glance at Luo Qingyan beside him, and an indescribable light flickered in his eyes. He understood that with such a powerful protective formation in place, there was no need for Luo Qingyan to take the risk of stepping out of the Ziyang Sect to confront Chu Fangtian and his six companions; yet she chose to come out anyway.
At that moment, the barrier suddenly rippled layer by layer before slowly tearing open a doorway. With a wave of her hand, Luo Qingyan led everyone into the Ziyang Sect.
Boom!
The instant they entered the Ziyang Sect, Fang Chen and the others felt an overwhelming surge of thick, almost viscous Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy rushing toward them. Their bodies were immediately jolted back, with some weaker individuals being directly toppled by the Spiritual Energy whirlwind.
"What a magnificent Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy!"
As Fang Chen sensed the pervasive Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy in this realm, he was instantly moved. The concentration of spiritual energy within this barrier was likely several times—perhaps even ten times—that of the outside world. This must be due to some grand technique employed by the Ziyang Sect to forcibly absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy from within tens of thousands of miles to supply their disciples for cultivation.
Such a grand endeavor was truly astonishing.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as Fang Chen and the others were still in shock over the terrifying Spiritual Energy in this realm, several streaks of rainbow light suddenly shot across the distant sky, transforming into figures clad in Dark Red Robes.
A strong Killing Intent surrounded these individuals, their sharp gazes sweeping back and forth over Fang Chen and the others. However, when they laid eyes on Luo Qingyan standing before Fang Chen, their expressions relaxed slightly.
"Greetings, Deputy Sect Master," the group of over ten people respectfully cupped their fists in salute to Luo Qingyan.
"These are the disciples participating in the Ziyang Sect Entry Assessment," Luo Qingyan casually explained.
Only then did the group realize, and their gazes swept over Fang Chen and his large group, their expressions becoming somewhat Severe. Under such scrutiny, many among them averted their eyes, clearly intimidated by the pressure emanating from these individuals.
"Truly worthy of the Ziyang Sect; even in its decline, the strength of just a dozen patrolling disciples is still so formidable," Fang Chen mused to himself. In his perception, each of these individuals was at least at the Alchemy Realm level, and their combat abilities were evidently much stronger than those of ordinary warriors at the same realm; otherwise, they wouldn't exude such an aura.
However, despite their impressive presence, Fang Chen did not feel pressured. With his current abnormal Martial Arts Realm, he could contend with early-stage Alchemy Realm warriors. While he respected their abilities, he certainly did not fear them.
"Hmm?" Fang Chen suddenly raised an eyebrow. He noticed that after the group had scanned them once, several gazes continued to linger on him and his companions as if searching for someone.
"Do you have any other business?" Luo Qingyan seemed to sense this unusual atmosphere as well; she furrowed her brows slightly and asked.
"Deputy Sect Master Luo, we are wondering if you have seen someone named Song Dongming," one of them finally met Luo Qingyan's gaze after exchanging looks with the others and spoke up.
"Song Dongming?" Luo Qingyan shook her head and then turned her attention to the crowd behind her as if inquiring.
Given her status, it was natural that she wouldn't know someone who wasn't even recognized as a formal disciple of the Ziyang Sect. However, just because Luo Qingyan didn't recognize him didn't mean that Fang Chen's group was unaware of the name Song Dongming.
Just two days ago, he was a celebrated figure throughout the Great Zhao Kingdom, an absolute king among the younger generation whose strength could rival that of some seasoned experts—Song Dongming!
But now...
Under the gaze of Luo Qingyan and several disciples of the Ziyang Sect clad in Dark Red Robes, many of the people beside Fang Chen began to flicker their eyes. They were well aware of what had happened to Song Dongming. He had his arm torn off and barely managed to escape using an Instant Transmission Talisman. After that incident, Song Dongming seemed to have vanished, and there had been no news of him until now.
No one spoke, but the glances that flickered and occasionally swept over Fang Chen clearly indicated that something was very strange about this situation. And this strangeness evidently revolved around Fang Chen!
"Where is Song Dongming?" A young man with a scarred face, who had previously bowed to ask Luo Qingyan, suddenly changed his expression. His gaze, laced with Killing Intent, abruptly fell on Fang Chen, his voice cold and forceful. The aura emanating from him conveyed an undeniable demand for an answer.
"From Qixiao Sect?" Fang Chen looked up and cast a faint glance at the Scarred-Faced Youth, speaking softly to himself. He sensed a hint of similarity in the aura of this youth compared to Song Dongming. Coupled with the fact that the other party suddenly mentioned Song Dongming, Fang Chen quickly formed a judgment in his mind.
"I’m asking you!" Fang Chen's indifferent expression instantly provoked the Scarred-Faced Youth. His eyes widened, and a powerful, menacing aura surged toward Fang Chen.
He intended to teach this ungrateful brat a lesson!
Seeing this scene, a mocking smile appeared on the faces of several people beside the Scarred-Faced Youth. In their eyes, Fang Chen was merely an ignorant newcomer. How could someone at the Body Refinement Realm possibly compare to them? They had once been in his position too, but now they had already reached the Alchemy Realm, and their Fierce Killing Power was enough to put this kid in a difficult spot.
However, in the next moment, the mockery on their faces froze. In their line of sight, Fang Chen's indifferent expression remained unchanged throughout. This indifference seemed to transform into a form of silent ridicule at that moment.
"What are you? Do I know you?" Fang Chen suddenly spoke lightly.
