"Ancestor, let me inform you to return to Fengyan City as soon as possible."
Luo Qingyan's cold voice drifted through the air. At the moment her voice sounded, Fang Chen's expression suddenly changed.
"What happened in Fengyan City?" His brow furrowed slightly as he asked in a deep voice, a rare look of urgency on his handsome face.
Fengyan City was the softest spot in Fang Chen's heart. His grandfather, father, and the entire Fang Family were there. If anything were to happen to them, he would undoubtedly go mad; it would be an unbearable pain in his life and the most forbidden place in his heart.
However, since Fang Chen left Fengyan City to enter Ziyang Sect, he had never revealed his origins, not even to Lian Yiyue, the only one beside him who knew he came from Fengyan City. He had secretly instructed her not to disclose this information. Moreover, Fengyan City was remote and usually did not encounter any issues.
If something unusual had occurred, it must be directed at him. If that were the case, with the power of the Fang Family and the entire Fengyan City, they would be unable to resist at all. This was why Fang Chen's expression changed drastically upon hearing Luo Qingyan's words.
Seeing Fang Chen's anxious demeanor, Luo Qingyan did not respond immediately. Instead, her beautiful eyes looked at him with a deep sense of astonishment, as if she were observing something extraordinary.
"Colorful Sacred Realm, Jincheng Sect." Just as Fang Chen was about to ask again, Luo Qingyan lightly parted her lips and spoke these seven words.
"Jincheng Sect!" It felt like a cold wave swept through a polar glacier; the temperature around them suddenly dropped. Fang Chen's face turned icy, and a crimson glint flashed in his dark eyes as if he wanted to devour someone.
At this moment, he could already guess most of what had happened and understood why there had been that look of astonishment in Luo Qingyan's eyes earlier. Clearly, she had learned about him annihilating the projection of Jincheng Ancestor's Divine Consciousness in the Colorful Sacred Realm. It was likely that this news had already spread among the high-ranking officials at the Seven Sects Conference. As for the crisis in Fengyan City, it was evidently brought about by Jincheng Sect.
Fang Chen knew very well that although he had tried hard to conceal Fengyan City and it was located in a remote area, it would be difficult to hide from a powerful sect like Jincheng Sect if they truly sought him out.
Seemingly unaffected by the intense killing intent emanating from Fang Chen, Luo Qingyan maintained her calm demeanor and said, "Although Jincheng Sect has learned about Fengyan City, you need not worry. People like the elders of this sect cannot step into Great Zhao Kingdom. Even some formidable figures from Primordial Embryo Realm within the sect will naturally send people to intercept them."
"So you're saying that only ordinary Primordial Embryo Realm Martial Artists will be able to reach Fengyan City?" Upon hearing this, Fang Chen felt slightly reassured and asked.
He currently had no strength to contend with experts from Heavenly Realm; even against some Freaks from Primordial Embryo Realm due to his significant cultivation disadvantage, Fang Chen would not stand a chance. However, if only ordinary Primordial Embryo Realm Martial Artists were involved, then they would not be an insurmountable presence for him.
After coming out of Colorful Sacred Realm and through several days of cultivation and consolidation, his mid-stage Alchemy Realm cultivation had made significant progress towards Late Stage of Transformation Realm; it wouldn't be long before he could break through again. Even so, his current strength was not inferior to that of an ordinary Primordial Embryo Realm Martial Artist. Fang Chen estimated that if he exerted all his effort now, his combat power should be comparable to that of mid-stage warriors in Primordial Embryo Realm.
"To be precise, it's individuals below late-stage Primordial Embryo Realm," Luo Qingyan nodded and said.
"How many days until the people from Jincheng Sect arrive?" Fang Chen suddenly felt a stir in his heart and asked.
He knew that the people from Jincheng Sect could not have already reached Fengyan City; otherwise, Ziyang Ancestor would not have asked Luo Qingyan to inform him, which would have been pointless. Clearly, the group from Jincheng Sect was on their way. After all, the distance from Jincheng Sect to Ziyang Sect in the Great Zhao Kingdom was not short.
"They should arrive in about four days," Luo Qingyan replied.
"Four days." Fang Chen pondered silently and then lightly uttered two words: "That's enough."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and cupped his fists in a bow towards Luo Qingyan. "Thank you, Ancestor. Thank you, Sect Master Luo, for the reminder."
He understood very well that Fengyan City was crucial for him, but for Ziyang Sect and Ziyang Ancestor, it was hardly worth any attention. Even though this time Jincheng Sect was coming to Fengyan City because of him, Fang Chen, they were not directly heading to Ziyang Sect. Therefore, Ziyang Ancestor could easily choose to turn a blind eye. Yet they still chose to inform him and intercept the strongest forces from Jincheng Sect, giving him ample room to maneuver.
This was a significant favor!
"You may go," Luo Qingyan nodded and said. After a pause, she glanced at Fang Chen, who seemed a bit hesitant and appeared to want to say something. Suddenly, a bright smile blossomed on her cold face. "Rest assured, during this time, your Qingchen Sect will definitely not encounter any issues."
"Thank you, Sect Master Luo!" Fang Chen's eyes instantly sparkled with brilliance. At this moment, he finally understood why Star Gate had been so quiet these past few days as if they had completely forgotten about Desolate Peak. It was unusually calm, even seeming to deliberately avoid the warriors of Qingchen Sect. The reason was clearly that Luo Qingyan had personally intervened in this matter.
This also explained why Bai Xingchen had been unusually low-key despite his arrogance. Faced with a peak Heavenly Realm expert and the deputy sect master of a sect, even with an elder father backing him up, he clearly had no capital to be arrogant in front of Luo Qingyan and could only obediently follow her arrangements. Just thinking about how Bai Xingchen had wanted revenge but had to suppress his feelings after Luo Qingyan's intervention made Fang Chen feel an urge to laugh.
"Sect Master Luo." At that moment, Fang Chen heard Luo Qingyan softly murmur. He was slightly startled; was there something wrong with how he addressed her?
However, just as Fang Chen was puzzled, Luo Qingyan spoke up again. Her words left Fang Chen momentarily stunned.
"Sect Master Luo sounds unpleasant; from now on, you can call me Aunt Luo," she said. Her voice remained as cold as before, but upon closer listening, it was not hard to detect a hint of something different.
"Aunt... Aunt Luo." Looking at the woman before him who possessed peak Heavenly Realm strength yet appeared to be only around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, Fang Chen hesitated for a moment before forcing himself to stammer out those words.
"I can't let you call me Aunt Luo for nothing; here, take this." Hearing Fang Chen say "Aunt Luo," Luo Qingyan looked extremely pleased; a smile broke out on her cold face. At the same time, she reached out and produced an object that was entirely silver-white with edges shimmering with a hint of golden radiance—something resembling jade yet not quite jade.
"Take this; if anything unexpected happens in the future and you're in a life-and-death crisis, crush it. As long as you are within Great Zhao Kingdom, I will sense your presence within three breaths," Luo Qingyan said as she tossed the object to Fang Chen.
"This is... the Sky's Edge Stone!" Looking at the object in his hand, which resembled neither jade nor stone, Fang Chen's gaze sharpened as he recognized its identity.
Although the Great Zhao Kingdom was not very large, it was still a country with vast territory. Under normal circumstances, even someone like Luo Qingyan, who had reached the peak of the Heavenly Realm and could traverse space quickly, would not be able to sense any location within it in just three breaths.
Of course, this was only under normal circumstances. With the Sky's Edge Stone, things were no longer normal.
What does it mean for distant places to feel close? Even if the distance is great, possessing this item makes it feel as if it is within arm's reach. This is the true meaning of the Sky's Edge Stone, and its greatest function is to provide a powerful cultivator with a chance to protect their descendants or loved ones from catastrophic disasters. Its effect is that once crushed, it allows the other party to sense it instantly and enables them to traverse multiple layers of space rapidly through the passage left behind by its destruction.
The Sky's Edge Stone is extremely rare and precious, and in the hands of Luo Qingyan, who has reached the peak of the Heavenly Realm and possesses a trace of Great Dao Power, it becomes even more valuable. This is truly a life-saving opportunity; having this stone in hand is akin to gaining an extra life.
Fang Chen understood that even within the Ziyang Sect, there would be very few pieces of such a Sky's Edge Stone, and it was highly likely that Luo Qingyan possessed only this one. This is something that can genuinely save lives; generally speaking, powerful beings would only give such items to their closest individuals or favored direct descendants. Yet now, Luo Qingyan had given it to him.
What kind of close relationship could he possibly have with her? Fang Chen shook his head; that was simply impossible. There could be no intersection between them. If there were to be one, perhaps it could only be... his mother! Fang Chen instantly thought of the reason, and the term "Aunt Luo" confirmed his suspicion.
"It's getting late; you should go." Before Fang Chen could think further, Luo Qingyan's voice rang in his ears again. At the same time, ripples suddenly appeared in the space beside him, emanating mysterious spatial fluctuations.
"Don't forget about the Seven Sect Conference two months from now." Luo Qingyan's voice echoed in his ears one last time. Then, Fang Chen felt his consciousness sink slightly as he entered the spatial ripples and completely disappeared from within the Ziyang Sect.
