Chapter 157: The World is Shaken!
ir confrontation, even a mere physical touch, held unimaginable power.Besides, the earth dragon directly unleashed incredibly powerful magical energy!However, the Void Devourer and the magical barrier...How about it Are you still going to seek revenge for your master If you want revenge, just take one more step forward." Fang Yu stood on the stone tablet, looking at the group of Longmen disciples and said calmly.
Seeing the palm prints in front of them, who would dare to take another step forward
This palm strike instantly sobered up the Dragon Gate disciples who had been blinded by their arrogance, their faces paling.
"No one wants revenge anymore" Fang Yu smiled faintly, and said, "Then I'm leaving."
Fang Yu turned around and looked towards the pavilion, only to find that Zheng Xiucheng and Yang Yinzhu had vanished.
"Ran off again"
Fang Yu was taken aback, but didn't take it to heart.
He had a fruitful day and was in a good mood.
Silence surrounded them.
Fang Yu noticed countless gazes, all focused on him.
This place is not safe to linger in.
Fang Yu leaped forward.
"Master Fang..." Kong Cheng came back to his senses, wanting to call out to Fang Yu.
But at this time, Fang Yu's figure had already vanished from everyone's sight.
No one knows where Fang Yu went.
……
Yue Xinh Lake War, Gu Ru Long was defeated and died, his spirit vanished!
This message, like a whirlwind, spread from Jiangnan and swept through the entire Chinese martial arts world!
Since entering the realm of Martial Venerable, Gu Ruolong has been acting extremely high-profile. This has attracted a lot of attention these days. No one could have imagined that such a powerful figure from the Divine List, a newly promoted Martial Venerable, and even someone considered the number one in the Jiangnan martial arts world, would fall so quickly!
Moreover, the man who killed him was an unknown young man, said to be less than twenty years old, with only the cultivation of a congenital martial artist!
This message is utterly shocking.
Many people even think this news is a rumor!
A martial venerate, how could he possibly die at the hands of a congenital warrior under twenty years old It's preposterous!
The absurdity of it is comparable to an ant killing a human!
Except for martial artists from the Jiangnan Martial Arts world who witnessed this battle firsthand, it is indeed difficult for ordinary martial artists to believe this news.
But regardless, from today onwards, the name Fang Yu will echo throughout the Chinese martial arts world!
……
The meeting room at the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association hall.
Kong Cheng sat in the head seat, his face grave.
The death of the ancient dragon was something they hadn't anticipated.
Every Martial Venerable is a significant asset to the martial arts world of a region.
Especially Gu Ruolong, he was the first Martial Venerable to appear in Jiangnan for so many years. The Jiangnan Wushu Association originally planned to elevate Gu Ruolong to a high position, build momentum for him, and let him speak on behalf of the entire Jiangnan martial arts world.
But now, even the ancient dragon is dead.
The Jiangnan Martial Arts Association's movement to create gods has gone bankrupt before it even began!
Once news of the Dragon's death spreads, other martial arts associations in different regions will probably be sneering with delight!
Martial arts associations in different regions are inherently in a competitive relationship. Whoever is stronger can obtain a larger share of the benefits.
The Jianghu martial arts world of Jiangnan was originally weak and vulnerable, in an absolutely disadvantaged position.
Just when a Martial Venerable finally emerged, they fell after only two days.
This is a major blow to the Jiangnan Wushu Association.
"President, since the Ancient Venerable has perished, why don't we cooperate with that Fang Yu" A high-ranking member spoke.
Fan Yu is so young, yet so powerful.
Putting him on stage will surely intimidate other martial arts associations!
Kong Cheng sighed and said, “I wouldn’t mind cooperating with Fang Yu. But he may not agree.”
“President, you’re overthinking this. As long as Fang Yu is a normal person, there’s no way he wouldn’t agree. By cooperating with us, he can get the most resources and the best reputation! He can achieve everything that the Ancient Dragon Venerable achieved, and even more! Who wouldn’t want to be worshipped and revered by thousands” Another high-ranking official questioned.
Kōng Chéng coughed twice and said, "This Fang Yu, before today, have any of you heard his name Seen him in person"
Everyone was stunned and shook their heads.
"Isn't that just it He possesses such immense power, yet he remained unknown and unheralded. Had it not been for Ancient Dragon Venerable's declaration of war, we wouldn't even know of his existence."
"Such a person, how could they possibly be someone who craves fame and fortune" Kong Cheng said solemnly.
Upon Kong Cheng's words, everyone fell silent.
"Then are we not going to recruit him In that case, wouldn't our Martial Arts Association be equivalent to losing a partner at the Martial Venerable realm for nothing Without even compensation" A high-ranking member said unwillingly.
"We need to recruit him, but we have to play the long game. Fang Yu may not be after fame and fortune, but he always has something he's chasing... We can slowly get closer, and we'll eventually find out what it is." Kong Cheng murmured.
……
Huaibei, Zhengjia.
Zheng Xiucheng lay in bed, the right half of his body still feeling a dull ache.
"Xiuchen, tell me again, what did Gulong say right before he died" A middle-aged man stood by the bed, his eyes dark as he asked.
“He said Fang Yu was a demonic cultivator, relying on absorbing the cultivation of others to strengthen himself. This kind of person is a disgrace to the martial world…” Zheng Xiuchen repeated.
"Evil cultivator…"
A middle-aged man with furrowed brows, arms crossed behind his back, paced the room.
"Father, this Fang Yu is really strange. His cultivation aura is very weak, only at the level of a congenital warrior... But his strength is terrifying. Gu Ru Long, although just a newly promoted martial arts master, was not weak in strength, but he was easily killed by him... Moreover, Yin Zhu has a deep blood feud with this son, and this son dares to attack me... I think we should eliminate Fang Yu as soon as possible to prevent future troubles." Zheng Xiuchen said resentfully.
The middle-aged man paced a few steps, then turned his head, a strange smile spreading across his face. He said, "Xiu Chen, this is a great opportunity for our Zheng family."
"Great fortune Father... I don't understand what you mean." Zheng Xiucheng said.
"This boy relies on a wicked art that absorbs the cultivation of others. With the cultivation of a congenital martial artist, he easily defeated Gu Rulong, who had the cultivation of a Martial Venerable. If our Zheng family obtains this wicked art…" The middle-aged man's smile grew wider and wider.
Zheng Xiucheng understood his father's meaning and also revealed a wanton smile.
Yes, if they could master Fang Yu's sorcery, the Zheng family... would truly soar to new heights!
By then, even the ancient martial arts families in the capital city wouldn't be a concern!
"Take good care of your injuries. I will immediately begin planning the capture of this Fang Yu." The middle-aged man finished speaking, then turned and left.
……
At this time, in another family's study in Huaibei.
A strikingly handsome young man was playing chess with an elderly gentleman with white hair.
"Before the age of twenty, with the cultivation of a congenital warrior, defeating a martial arts master... Chen Luo, do you think that's possible" The old man finished his move and looked at the young man, asking.
The young man took a sip of tea and retorted, "Do you think it's possible"
The old man shook his head and said, “My experience tells me this is impossible. But you are different, you have experienced more than I.”
Chen Luo's lips curled into a slight arc as he said, "In my opinion, this is possible. In my previous life, I once met an extraordinary person who, with his Foundation Establishment cultivation, could fight a Nascent Soul cultivator to a standstill, possessing incredibly formidable strength."
The old man frowned slightly and said, "So, the news about Jiangnan is true"
"That's not necessarily true. I lived for over a thousand years in my previous life, and I've only seen someone as extraordinary as you." Chen Luo said.
"Hmm." The elder nodded and said no more.
"But I'm rather curious about this person. I happen to be going to Jiangnan soon, so I might get a chance to meet him." Chen Luo smiled. "If he actually exists, that is."
"Are you going to the Jiangnan region What are you going there for" the elder asked.
"I received word that someone found a spirit spring in a deep mountain to the west of Jiangnan. I must go and have a look." Chen Luo said.
"A spring" The elder was taken aback.
It is a spring imbued with spiritual energy. In this day and age where heaven and earth's spiritual energy is so scarce, the effect of a spirit spring on cultivators is quite significant.
"However, compared to the spring itself, I'd rather find its source. Something that could give birth to such a spring must be extraordinary, perhaps a Spirit Stone Mountain… Now that would be truly valuable." Chen Luo spoke, his pupils flashing with a strange light.
"If I could find the source of the spiritual spring and absorb all its energy, I would be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage... Then, I wouldn't have to hide my strength anymore. I could single-handedly crush the Zheng family and help the Chen family become the number one martial arts family in Huaibei!"
Looking at Chen Luo before him, the old man's eyes showed a look of awe!
Only he knew that the grandson who looked to be in his twenties was actually a powerful cultivator who had lived for over a thousand years and was reborn!
……
Fang Yu returned home and counted the contents of Gu Ru Long's storage bag.
Most of the things stored in Gu Ru Long's pouch were pills, with a small portion being cultivation manuals.
These things are extremely precious to ordinary warriors, but in Fang Yu's eyes, they are not as valuable as a low-grade monster core.
"A mighty cultivator at the Core Formation stage, his storage pouch is filled with junk No wonder he's so weak!"
Fang Yu didn't find a monster core, very angry, he threw the storage bag aside.
"Ding dong!"
The doorbell rang.
Fang Yu opened the door and was stunned to see who was standing there.Carp, I think we should first investigate the identity of this black-robed cultivator. This is the most important thing." Fang Yu said."Hmph...fine, let's settle this first, and afterward you absolute...
