The originally fierce Azure Cloud Eagle was truly frightened by Fang Chen's two sudden scares. Even at this moment, its massive body was still trembling slightly, and its large bird eyes, while turning to look at Fang Chen, were filled with a deep sense of fear.
At this time, Azure Vine and the Gray-Clad Middle-Aged Man had already left the body of Azure Cloud Eagle, standing several feet in front of Fang Chen. Their expressions were slightly somber, and they remained silent, but the slight furrow in their brows suggested a storm brewing within. Meanwhile, the Old Woman and her companions appeared beside Fang Chen immediately after Azure Cloud Eagle's unusual behavior, positioning themselves in front of the Gray-Clad Middle-Aged Man.
Silence enveloped the surroundings, an invisible oppressive atmosphere making it somewhat hard to breathe.
"Grandma Ji, step aside!" Azure Vine finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted angrily.
His patience had clearly been exhausted by Grandma Ji and her companions repeatedly blocking his attempts to eliminate Fang Chen. His words were forceful and cold, showing no respect for a Primordial Embryo Realm expert.
He was the son of Azure Flame, a descendant of a Heavenly Realm expert, with a noble status. In Azure Vine's view, the Charming Immortal Sect's current standing was entirely reliant on his father's support. Without his father Azure Flame, the Charming Immortal Sect would be nothing. To put it bluntly, in Azure Vine's mind, the Charming Immortal Sect was merely a dog raised by his father; since it was a dog, it should naturally obey. If he wanted to kill Fang Chen, how could anyone from the Charming Immortal Sect stop him?
The angry shout just tore a small hole in the oppressive atmosphere when suddenly a chilling sensation swept through, along with an even heavier mood that intensified the pressure.
If it weren't for the fact that the atmosphere was quite inappropriate at this moment, Fang Chen would have really wanted to laugh. The rumors within the Charming Immortal Sect about lacking Heavenly Realm experts seemed to hold some truth; indeed, to some uninformed individuals, it appeared that they relied on Heavenly Realm's Azure Flame for their current prominence. However, based on what Fang Chen had seen in his past life, he did not believe that just one Azure Flame could possess the ability to look down upon the Charming Immortal Sect.
This special sect composed entirely of women would have long since vanished into some small corner if they truly possessed such little strength. But evidently, Azure Vine, accustomed to arrogance and pride, was unaware of these facts.
"Is ignorance the same as fearlessness?" Fang Chen thought with a hint of malice in his heart as he looked at Azure Vine with a touch of subtle mockery in his gaze.
If the Charming Immortal Sect truly relied entirely on Azure Flame, then why would he previously place his only hope on the Old Woman and her companions?
Shifting his gaze away from Azure Vine and sensing the suddenly lowered temperature around him, a strange glimmer flashed in Fang Chen's dark eyes. The slight upward curve of his lips indicated that he was quite pleased at this moment.
If there had been any lingering worry that the Old Woman from the Primordial Embryo Realm might truly give up because of pressure from Azure Flame, it was clear now that there was no longer any need for such concerns.
Indeed, soon a deep voice struggling to suppress anger rang out.
"This person has been personally chosen by me from the Charming Immortal Sect. Before the Entry Assessment at Ziyang Sect concludes, I will ensure their safety. I hope Young Master Azure Vine can understand," Grandma Ji said, her voice slightly hoarse, and her frail chest rarely heaving, clearly indicating that she was genuinely angry. However, due to Azure Vine's special status, she had not completely lost her temper.
Although the relationship between the Charming Immortal Sect and Azure Flame was not as Azure Vine imagined, Azure Flame was indeed a powerful figure in the Heavenly Realm, and the Azure Flame before him was his only offspring. Therefore, even though Old Woman was furious, she did not lose her composure and continued to suppress her anger. She didn't even fully express herself.
The implication of ensuring his safety before the Entry Assessment at Ziyang Sect concluded meant that after the assessment ended, it would not be too late for him to take action.
This was Old Woman's concession and retreat; for a Primordial Embryo Realm expert to do so was evidently a challenging task and could even be considered humiliating. However, these words fell on Azure Vine's ears and twisted his already dark expression into one of fury!
After all this talk, you still want to protect this guy!
Understand? Who the hell do you think you are to ask for my understanding?
Azure Vine roared in his heart, feeling insulted. He was the son of Azure Flame; when did he become unable to kill someone? Why was he being obstructed time and again?
Anger! A surge of inexplicable rage swept through Azure Vine's entire body, distorting his face and causing his body to tremble slightly.
"Get lost!" he shouted at Old Woman.
The word "get lost" thundered with all of Azure Vine's fury, resonating throughout the area. At that moment, nearly everyone's expression changed. Meanwhile, Fang Chen's smile at the corner of his mouth grew even more pronounced.
What does "get lost" mean? It certainly wasn't a pleasant term. While it could be considered an insult, it was already a blatant slap in the face.
Indeed, at the moment those words were uttered, Old Woman, who had been holding back her anger, completely changed color.
Her aged face turned icy cold, and even her somewhat murky eyes glinted with a hint of frost. She raised her head and locked eyes with Azure Vine, scolding him fiercely: "You are outrageous!"
With that, she stepped forward angrily.
Under the furious reprimand of the Old Woman, Azure Vine suddenly felt a tremendous force rushing towards him, causing his body to involuntarily retreat. Facing the Old Woman's chilling gaze, he was ignited with anger and suddenly jolted awake.
"You dare tell me to get lost? Even Azure Flame wouldn't speak to me like that; who do you think you are!" Grandma Ji said coldly. As she spoke, she took a step towards Azure Vine, and a wave of cold air instantly swept over him. At that moment, it was clear she was extremely enraged and intended to teach Azure Vine a lesson.
Wrapped in the cold air, Azure Vine's face turned pale as he felt his meridians were about to freeze and shatter. Under the shadow of death, he finally felt a hint of regret. But it was only a hint; in the next moment.
Suddenly, the raging cold vanished completely, and a gray figure stood before him. Looking at the Gray-Clad Middle-Aged Man in front of him, Azure Vine's pale face regained some color. The flicker of fear and regret that had just arisen in his heart transformed into surging anger and a twisted mindset.
"Grandma Ji, do you dare to make a move against me?!" Azure Vine shouted sharply, his voice extremely grating. He pointed at Fang Chen and Grandma Ji, screaming madly, "Kill them! Uncle Ye, kill them!"
However, after his words fell for quite some time, the Gray-Clad Middle-Aged Man before him showed no intention of making a move. Just as Azure Vine was about to roar again, the Gray-Clad Middle-Aged Man suddenly turned around and glanced at him indifferently.
That indifferent gaze seemed to pierce his soul, causing Azure Vine's frenzied expression to freeze abruptly. His entire body trembled violently as if he had returned to life; within his crazed eyes, a hint of clarity gradually emerged.
The Gray-Clad Middle-Aged Man scanned the surroundings before finally pausing on Fang Chen for several breaths, his eyes filled with a trace of confusion.
The confusion in his eyes quickly faded away, and the Gray-Clad Middle-Aged Man's face returned to indifference. He said nothing more but waved his sleeve and took Azure Vine back onto the Azure Cloud Eagle.
Although naturally cold and not fond of speaking, the Gray-Clad Middle-Aged Man understood that Azure Vine's previous words had completely offended Charming Immortal Sect. Moreover, given the current situation, there was no chance to eliminate Fang Chen anymore. Rather than continuing this way, it was better to leave.
"Chirp!"
The Azure Cloud Eagle let out a loud cry that seemed somewhat joyful. It flapped its massive wings and finally soared into the sky once more.
In mid-air, standing on the Azure Cloud Eagle, Azure Vine cast a gloomy glance at Grandma Ji and the others but soon shifted his gaze to Fang Chen, his eyes revealing an unabashed intensity of murderous intent.
Seeing the murderous look from Azure Vine, Fang Chen's expression remained calm as if he hadn't noticed the malice in Azure Vine's eyes at all. Only when the figure of the Azure Cloud Eagle completely disappeared from view did Fang Chen's tranquil face show a slight change.
He let out a quiet sigh of relief, the flicker of anxiety deep within his eyes gradually fading away.
No one knew that the extreme arrogance and madness displayed by Azure Vine earlier was entirely influenced by Fang Chen.
To be precise, it was Fang Chen's manipulation of the Underworld Evil Eye's strange power that allowed Azure Vine's inner arrogance to be amplified to its peak, ultimately driving him into a state of delirious madness.
Clouding one's mind and gradually magnifying negative emotions is another peculiar ability that Fang Chen discovered after several days of seclusion with the Underworld Evil Eye.
"Let's set off," Grandma Ji said coldly, scanning her surroundings. After what happened with Azure Vine, she clearly had no mood left for anything else. This statement was naturally directed at Fang Chen.
Are we heading to Ziyang Sect so soon? Fang Chen felt puzzled; there was still a week until Ziyang Sect would officially begin accepting disciples. Although the journey would take some time, with a powerful flying beast like the Crimson Flame Bird, it shouldn't take too long. In fact, according to the agreement made at Grand Mall, someone from Charming Immortal Sect wasn't supposed to arrive today; they should have at least delayed for another couple of days.
Could something have happened? Fang Chen wondered.
Just then, a faint voice echoed in his ear, causing his heart to tremble.
"There are young warriors heading to Ziyang Sect for the Hunt!"
