Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 514, Friend, What Kind of Creature Are You?

The handsome young man looked quickly toward Fang Chen. "Daoist, we mustn't let him escape. That person is very vindictive. If we let him live, he might cause trouble for both of you in the future."

Fang Chen nodded, raised his hand, and released another sword strike.

The sword light was lightning fast. Compared to it, Old Wu's speed was like that of a snail. He had just rushed out of the banquet hall when he was cut down.

Fairy Yu moved to his corpse and retrieved his storage ring.

After that, she looked at everyone present and asked casually, "Does anyone know which direction to take from here to reach the Immortal Dynasty Holy Land?"

Everyone was puzzled hearing that. "Immortal Dynasty Holy Land?"

Upon seeing that, Fairy Yu turned her attention to the extravagantly-dressed young man, who was accompanied by the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator behind him. She expected him to know more than the people here.

Fairy Yu said, "Do you not know either?"

"Immortal Dynasty Holy Land..." the handsome young man murmured. After a thoughtful pause, he admitted, "I've never heard of it before...."

The eyes of the Qinghu Empire's ruler flickered slightly. "Immortal Dynasty Holy Land...."

Looking at Fairy Yu, she said, "Head south and you'll reach your destination. However, the distance to the Immortal Dynasty Hold Land is quite far. If you don't know where the teleportation formation is, it may take you hundreds of years before you make it there."

Fairy Yu smiled knowingly. "Oh? So, you know where the teleportation formation is?"

The Qinghu Empire's ruler nodded gently. "I was also on my way to the Immortal Dynasty Holy Land to visit the Greenwood Sect. I can lead the way for you two."

Fang Chen and Fairy Yu exchanged a look, both surprised. "She's going to the Greenwood Sect too?"

"What are you going there for?" Fairy Yu asked curiously.

"My clan has an ancestor who is cultivating in secret at the Greenwood Sect."

"What a coincidence." Fang Chen smiled. "But are you sure you want to travel with us, considering the troubles we face?"

The Qinghu Empire's ruler chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Following you two might give us a chance to meet our clan's ancestor. If we go on our own, we would have less than a ten percent chance of reaching the Greenwood Sect."

Her group had only recently arrived in the Central Continent Empire and already wound up in trouble, nearly losing their lives. It was better for them to stay close to Fang Chen and have some protection.

The handsome young man had mentioned he troubles that Fang Chen and Fairy Yu were facing, so the Qinghu Empire's ruler roughly knew how bad the situation was. However, the handsome young man had also said that as long as Fang Chen and Fairy Yu didn't encounter any Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, they were unrivaled in the world. That was enough!

There were risks in everything, and the Qinghu Empire’s ruler believed that staying by Fang Chen's side would lower her risks.

Fairy Yu looked at Fang Chen. "Lord, what do you think?"

Fang Chen replied, "If she really knows the way, it would be convenient to have her lead us."

Fairy Yu nodded lightly.

Several hours later, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator arrived swiftly. He hurriedly entered the hall and handed two jade boxes to the handsome young man respectfully.

The handsome young man opened the two boxes and saw the Swallow Ice Grass and the Purple Whisker Flower inside. Finally, after checking that everything was good, he presented them to Fang Chen as if offering a treasure.

"Please take a look. Are these the spiritual materials you requested?"

Fang Chen glanced at them but couldn't recognize these items, so he asked Mirror of the Universe for confirmation. Fortunately, this minor question didn't cost any spirit stones.

After receiving confirmation, Fang Chen put away the jade boxes and clasped his fist in thanks to the handsome young man. "Thank you very much." The handsome young man was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly returned the gesture.

"It's getting late. Please enjoy your meal and drinks. We will take our leave," Fang Chen said with a faint smile, leading Fairy Yu and the others out of the place.

The handsome youth hurriedly showed them out personally.

The other cultivators in the hall didn't dare to sit around, so they quickly got up to follow Fang Chen, showing him the way too.

It was only after Fang Chen and the others completely disappeared that everyone let out a sigh of relief. Then, they fell into a silence that lasted for a quarter of an hour.

Old Wu was dead. A cultivator who had reached the grand completion stage of the Golden Core Realm had died so tragically on his wedding day. His newlywed wife had even run away with someone else. Life couldn't be more tragic than that.

Everyone silently mourned Old Wu for a few moments. After that, they began to consider how to divide Old Wu's territory.

Suddenly, Fang Chen, who was supposed to have left, appeared again. "Oh, right."

Everyone was surprised to see him again.

The handsome young man broke out in goosebumps. He thought that Fang Chen had changed his mind.

"Daoist, what kind of demon are you?" Fang Chen asked with a smile.

"I'm a chicken!" the handsome young man hurriedly replied.

"Oh, so you're a chicken demon," responded Fang Chen, looking at the young man's colorful hair.

With that out of the way, Fang Chen turned into a sword again and departed for real this time.

The handsome young man was completely on edge. He was so frightened he couldn't bring himself to let out a sigh of relief until Fang Chen disappeared completely from view.

Letting out a sigh, he murmured, "There are Immortal Seedlings who are arrogant and look down on everyone. They don't even put Nascent Soul cultivators in their eyes and would dare even to insult them. On the other hand, there are Immortal Seedlings who are polite and courteous. You only need to offer them a few spiritual materials, and they'll bow to you with respect. That's the difference between people."

Everyone around looked at him strangely. When did he have such an experience or encounter with Immortal Seedlings?

"Let me warn you all," the handsome man continued, "I assume some of you know the true origins of those two people, but if you want to mess with them, think carefully about where you stand."

"Regardless of whether it's the Heavenly King Zhen's Manor or the Void Immortal Sword Sect, our combined strength wouldn't even touch a hair of theirs!" The handsome young man suddenly swept a cold gaze over everyone. "Your best bet is to pretend you haven't seen anything. Don't meddle in these muddy waters lest you end up like that centipede demon who died on his wedding day!"

"You speak the truth, lord!"

The cultivators quickly bowed and paid their respects. Even if they had some ideas in mind, they were dispelled after hearing what the handsome man said.

Fang Chen found a secluded place and asked Fairy Yu and the others to stand watch while he prepared to refine spiritual herbs. The spiritual medicine needed for the advancement of the Radiant Divine Eyes to the second stage was quite special, but it could be made without extraordinary means. As long as there were enough spiritual materials and the correct formula was used, even an ordinary person could refine it.

After consuming the spirit medicine, a cultivator could unlock the second stage of the Radiant Divine Eyes.

Fang Chen had already tested the power of the first stage, and now he was very curious about the power of the second stage.

Standing not too far away, the Qinghue Empire's young princess observed Fang Chen and asked, "Mother, what is he doing?"

The Qinghu Empire's ruler shook her head slightly. "He's probably refining pills."

"But doesn't refining pills require fire?" the young princess muttered in puzzlement. "We saw him die completely with our own eyes that day. But, not only has he come back to life, but he can now kill Golden Core cultivators even more effortlessly than before. What's going on...?"

"Don't think about it too much. Just know that his background is extraordinary. He saved us this time, and we owe him a favor. You should dismiss any schemes you have in mind. I know you were quite fond of Jue Wudi, and since Jue Wudi died at his hands, you might harbor some resentment toward him."

The princess quickly replied, "Mother, don't talk nonsense. Jue Wudi was a member of the Spirit Blood Sect. I know that now, so I don't resent Fang Chen at all. He deserved to die. We were living peacefully in the Qinghu Empire, but it was because of the Spirit Blood Sect that we were forced to leave."

"It's good that you know," the Qinghu Empire's ruler replied and nodded lightly, not saying anything more.

However, the princess still couldn't help but cast curious glances toward Fang Chen. It wasn't until Fairy Yu looked at her that she casually retracted her gaze.

Two hours later, the medicine was ready.

Fairy Yu curiously approached and looked at the gray-green liquid that was still bubbling.

Seeing how awful it looked, she frowned. "Lord, are you really going to drink this? There are eyeballs inside...."
