In terms of background, Fang Chen is undoubtedly considered a second-generation heir within the Ziyang Sect. After all, who could possibly be more powerful than the Ziyang Ancestor? Therefore, when he heard Lu Chong's words about having some background, Fang Chen couldn't help but laugh.
However, to Lu Chong, Fang Chen's unintentional smile felt like a blatant mockery. This only fueled Lu Chong's already fragile mental state, which had been shaken by the expressions of those from Qingchen Sect who were unable to decipher Fang Chen's identity. The slight sense of dread and vigilance he had felt instantly transformed into overwhelming anger.
He opened his mouth to curse again, but just as he did, an invisible wave of Qi Energy rushed toward him. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy in front of him coalesced into a massive palm print that struck his face hard, sending his body—still recovering from being thrown to the ground—flying once more.
"Annoying." Fang Chen calmly uttered these two words as he finally directed his gaze at Lu Chong, who had not received even a glance until now.
However, at this moment, Lu Chong would have preferred that Fang Chen had never looked at him at all.
Thud!
As he clumsily got back up from the ground, Lu Chong opened his mouth only to spit out blood mixed with two of his teeth. Although Fang Chen's casual wave of Qi Energy hadn't severely injured him, it had knocked out two of his front teeth. With blood staining his mouth and missing two front teeth, Lu Chong's appearance made the people of Qingchen Sect unable to suppress their laughter.
Relying on his not-so-weak background, Lu Chong had caused quite a bit of trouble for many in Qingchen Sect during his time entangled with Lian Yiyue since returning. However, due to Lu Chong's own strength and the backing he had, most members of Qingchen Sect could only seethe in silence. Now that they saw Fang Chen return and take such decisive action against Lu Chong, they felt a sense of relief and respect toward Fang Chen.
This was true power!
Beside Fang Chen, Lian Yiyue also smiled. She had been thoroughly annoyed by Lu Chong's persistent harassment and had long wanted to confront him but couldn't due to various reasons. However, Fang Chen's straightforward slap had undoubtedly released the pent-up frustration she felt.
After smiling, Lian Yiyue gently furrowed her brow and whispered in Fang Chen's ear, "He has an older brother who is an Inner Sect Disciple and holds a high position in Star Gate."
"Star Gate." Upon hearing this, Fang Chen's expression slightly tightened. Unlike Qingchen Sect—a mere assembly formed under the name of True Disciple and Sister Qinglian’s reputation—Star Gate was one of the leading forces among the many factions within Ziyang Sect. Moreover, it was founded by Bai Xingchen!
"Star Gate, Bai Xingchen," Fang Chen murmured to himself. A smile inadvertently appeared on his face; however, it carried an unsettling chill for anyone who looked upon it.
Fang Chen would not forget how he had been cornered into a nearly fatal situation under Bai Xingchen's pressure on Beishan. If it hadn't been for the intervention of the half-step Daoist Master Realm Dragon from below Beishan, Fang Chen still wouldn't know how he would have dealt with Bai Xingchen and his father Bai Kongming from Heavenly Realm in that dire circumstance.
"Bai Xingchen, I wonder if you still remember me?" Fang Chen thought quietly to himself.
The incident attracted Bai Kongming's personal attention and prompted the Dragon from Beishan to take action, creating a significant stir within the Ziyang Sect. Moreover, that half-step Daoist Master Realm individual who referred to himself as Young Master Dragon seemed to embody some kind of taboo. As a result, in the end, the Ziyang Ancestor even took matters into his own hands, directly erasing all memories related to Beishan from everyone in the Ziyang Sect except for Fang Chen.
At this moment, when Lian Yiyue mentioned the Star Gate, there was nothing but fear and reverence in his expression. After all, they had long forgotten the scenes that unfolded on Beishan.
While they could forget, Fang Chen found it impossible to do so! That was the closest he had come to death since his rebirth; the deeply etched feeling and the helpless urge to scream at the sky were profoundly stimulating for him, making it impossible to forget. Furthermore, Fang Chen had never been someone who chose to forget after being bullied.
On the contrary, he had an excellent memory!
However, Lian Yiyue and the others were unaware of this, nor did Lu Chong, who had been knocked away by Fang Chen twice and lost two front teeth. He only knew that the one who had previously plotted against him was this very guy!
Filled with anger after learning the truth, Lu Chong's heart was consumed by intense rage. If it weren't for a sense of self-awareness reminding him that he was no match for this seemingly Alchemy Realm individual with terrifying strength, he would have rushed over to confront Fang Chen.
With a flushed face, missing two front teeth, blood stains around his mouth, and looking exceptionally disheveled, Lu Chong's gaze towards Fang Chen was filled with resentment. In his mind, he began plotting how to take revenge after leaving this place. Of course, everything would have to wait until he could leave safely. For now, it was better to think about how to escape.
Regarding Fang Chen—who appeared to be smiling but struck with brutal simplicity and seemed utterly unconcerned—after being hit twice, Lu Chong felt a mix of anger and fear. Thus, despite his fury at that moment, he forced himself to hold back and refrained from cursing.
Just then, he heard Lian Yiyue whisper something into Fang Chen's ear. Instantly, his previously flickering expression turned red as a proud look emerged at an astonishing speed.
He brushed off the dirt from his clothes and stood up. Although traces of blood remained on his face and his two front teeth were still missing, he looked comically similar to before. However, Lu Chong's aura had changed dramatically.
Standing tall, a proud energy suddenly enveloped his not-so-tall frame. At the same time, he fixed his gaze on Fang Chen with a cold smile that seemed to say: "You didn't know my identity before; now that you do, you must regret it."
As one of the leading forces among various sects in Star Gate, he was renowned even among Outer Sect Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples alike. He himself was from Star Gate and had an older brother in the Primordial Embryo Realm who held a high position within Star Gate. Leveraging this identity meant that even many Inner Sect Disciples dared not offend Lu Chong too much.
This was why he had persistently pursued Lian Yiyue after seeing her beauty and refused to leave Qingchen Sect while Lian Yiyue and others dared not use force during Sister Qinglian's seclusion. The name Star Gate carried significant weight for Outer Sect Disciples.
As for Fang Chen, despite his oddly strong abilities, Lu Chong understood that he was merely an Alchemy Realm martial artist; thus he was just an Outer Sect Disciple. With his own status, Lu Chong could easily dominate him. Now that Fang Chen knew his identity and still tried to play a role in front of Lian Yiyue—he must regret it now.
While indulging in these thoughts almost like daydreaming, Lu Chong's cold smile grew more pronounced. Yet in the next moment, when he raised his head and saw Fang Chen's expression not far away, it suddenly froze.
In his line of sight, the imagined scene did not appear, and there was no expression of fear or regret on Fang Chen's face. It remained extremely calm and indifferent, and even compared to before, there seemed to be an added chilling aura of murderous intent within that indifference.
He wants to kill me?!
Lu Chong's heart skipped a beat as this thought flashed through his mind. He couldn't believe it, but looking at the calmness on Fang Chen's face, which was accompanied by a hint of coldness, he was certain he had not misread the situation; the other party definitely harbored murderous intentions towards him.
But how dare he? At this moment, Lu Chong was completely stunned. He had no idea that the chill and murderous aura on Fang Chen's face were not directed at him but rather at Bai Xingchen, who had created the Star Gate! A mere Lu Chong was not worthy of Fang Chen's murderous intent.
"What should we do about this guy?" Lian Yiyue asked with a slight frown, looking at Lu Chong, who had gone from laughing wildly to wearing an incredulous expression as if he had witnessed something horrifying or had lost his mind.
How to deal with Lu Chong?
Although she found him distasteful, Lu Chong's actions were not enough to warrant death at this time; Fang Chen did not have much murderous intent towards him.
He waved his hand and was about to speak. However, at that moment, an urgent shout suddenly came from the distant sky.
"No... it's bad! Brother Qianyuan and the others are surrounded by people from the Star Gate!"
