Chapter 1320: A Trip in Vain

nses.They saw Fang Yu stand up, while Gu Rulong had vanished.The outcome of this battle seems clear.But they still don't believe it!How could someone as venerable as Master Long loseKong Cheng said to...The message sent out by the Department of Celestial Observation shook Beidu in just one day.

Soon, the news also spread to other major regions.

The Tianhun clan of Beidu... were completely wiped out!

This message, like a hurricane, swept from north to south and from east to west.

In just two short days, everyone knows.

However, besides the people from Beidu who could personally visit the outpost to check the situation, most people in other regions didn't believe it was true. They even thought it was a rumor with ulterior motives.

As for what their intention was... they couldn't say.

But many people believe that it could be a clash between different races, having nothing to do with humans.

……

While various rumors and news spread throughout the outside world, Fang Yu was sitting in meditation before the Spring of Life at the back mountain of the mansion.

This meditation session wasn't about cultivating any specific techniques. It was primarily about calming the mind.

After returning from the far north, nearly a year had passed in the outside world.

As for Feather, there was too much information flooding her mind these past few days. However, she hadn't had time to think about it because she needed to eliminate the Tianhun Clan first.

Now, I'm taking this opportunity to organize my thoughts.

As He Ruju said, the rise of alien races is no longer a mere hypothesis.

...and from a time perspective, it is very likely still in its initial phase. ...

How many of the alien races have awakened, and how many are still in a dormant state

This, no one knows.

What Fang Yu desperately wants to figure out right now is... where did these alien races come from

Just the Skytalon race alone has almost 200,000 individuals... they certainly didn't crawl out of the ground.

Before wiping out the Corpse Clan in Heishi Village, Fang Yu discovered a large number of Corpse Clan members from an independent space underneath the ground.

Then... it's likely that other races are the same.

It's strange, isn't it Could other races autonomously create their own independent space

How long were they in there, and who let them out

Now, Fang Yu increasingly believes that the awakening of alien races is not a self-directed action, but rather a manipulation by some unknown entity behind the scenes.

Because... the timing is just too coincidental.

In the beginning, the opening of thirty-seven locations in the scorching summer heat was precisely timed to the minute... and this time, provided by the Skywatching Bureau, actually originated from Wuchengzi.

And the information was obtained by Wudengzi from his Dao fruit cultivated in the Sacred Court.

There must be some kind of relationship between the Holy Academy and the awakening of the alien races... but let's not dwell on that for now.

In the beginning, all of Wuchenzi's provided time points were extremely accurate.

For example, the Heavenly Stone revealed the offspring of Pluto, and several other ancient relics were opened. The times were accurate to the minute.

But after Fang Yu solved the problems of the Nether Clan and the Corpse Clan, those time points suddenly became invalid.

All remaining strongholds began to show signs of unrest.

This situation is like deliberately muddying the waters, making Fang Yu lose his direction and unable to accurately deal with the group of alien races about to awaken.

However, there were still alien races who appeared ahead of schedule. For example, the Blood Race and the Alien Flower Race...were successively resolved by Fang Yu.

After that, Fang Yu went to the Northwest region again, discovered a formation connecting to an external domain, and encountered another Punisher, killing him.

Later, Fang Yu entered the extreme north, unknowingly having a year stolen from him.

With the existence of the Punisher... Fang Yu could almost be certain that behind the alien race, there was some kind of being protecting them.

The year lost in the far north seemed to be that entity, a means to restrain Fang Yu and give the alien race enough time to awaken.

From the results, it succeeded.

Now, during the summer months, foreigners are everywhere.

"The Serpent Head Snow Sculpture…" Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, remembering the strange occurrences he and Honglian had encountered in the extreme north.

By the way, that mark!

That mark inscribed above the temple's main gate.

a circle with a dot inside, like an eye...

This mark, Fang Yu felt like she had seen it before, but to this day she still couldn't remember where.

Looking back, Fang Yu immediately began a new round of reminiscing.

However, after much deliberation, there was still no solution.

This is a very rare situation for Fang Yu.

Generally speaking, if he felt like he had an impression of something, even if he couldn't remember what the thing was at the moment, he could at least remember where he had seen it.

But this time, he just had a sense of déjà vu, but upon closer reflection, he found nothing.

This feeling made Fang Yu very upset.

"Mr. Fang."

Just then, a soft voice came from behind.

Fang Yu opened his eyes and turned to look at Ye Shengxue.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fang, I shouldn't have disturbed your meditation." Ye Shengxue bowed slightly and said.

"It's fine, I wasn't meditating. What's up" Fang Yu asked.

"Someone... wants to see you." Ye Shengxue said, her expression somewhat strange.

"Who" Fang Yu asked again.

"Miss Qi Jia, Qi Ruoqing." Ye Shengxue said.

Qi Ruoqing

Fang Yu did remember this woman. Last time he went to the desolate ruins, he had saved her life and traveled with her for a while.

But after leaving the ruins, we only met a couple of times and then lost touch.

"What did she come to see me for" Fang Yu asked.

"Miss Qi seems to be having a bit of trouble," Ye Shengxue said hesitantly.

"Your tone seems off. What's going on" Fang Yu stood up and asked.

Ye Shengxue bit her red lips, and finally spoke the things that had been troubling her.

This incident... was Qi Jia betraying the aristocratic alliance, leading to its collapse and a large number of casualties.

“If it weren't for the betrayal of the Qi family, the alliance of aristocratic families and the alliance of sects could have held out against the Tianhu Clan for a while longer, and wouldn't have collapsed so quickly…” Ye Shengxue said, anger flashing in her beautiful eyes. “If it weren't for the Qi family's betrayal, even if the aristocratic family alliance ultimately lost the war, they wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses of top-tier cultivators…”

Qi Jia's betrayal resulted in the deaths of over two thousand top cultivators from aristocratic families at the Nascent Soul stage or above.

Such sins are beyond redemption.

Today, the Falcon Clan has been exterminated, and those cultivators who became lapdogs of the Falcon Clan... naturally must also be held accountable.

And the Qi family was precisely the worst-influencing family among this pack of sycophants!

Therefore, the purpose of Qi Ruqing's arrival now... is already very clear.

After hearing Ye Shengxue's words, Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Among the eight prominent families of Beidu, besides the Lin family, only this Qi family remains untouched by Fang Yu.

Before Qi Jia, he was indeed well-behaved and had never done anything out of line.

Now, with the invasion of foreign races... they have become lackeys of the outsiders, betraying the clan alliance

After thinking for a moment, Fang Yu frowned and looked at Ye Shengxue, saying: "In that case, there's no need to meet. You should tell her to go back."

"Hmm..."

Yè Shèngxuě nodded softly and turned to leave.

But after taking only a few steps, she turned back to look at Fang Yu and hesitated, saying, "Mr. Fang, actually... I think Miss Qi might be innocent. This is just a decision made by her family, and she has no way to interfere..."

And, her purpose for coming here may not have been to exonerate her family…

Fang Yu looked at Ye Shengxue and asked, "So, you still think I should meet her"

Ye Shengxue lowered her head and said softly, "This is just the personal opinion of this little girl. Everything depends on Mr. Fang's wishes."

Fang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, bring her before me and see what she has to say."

"Okay, Mr. Fang."

Ye Shengxue turned and left.

Two minutes later, she brought Qi Ruqing to Fang Yu's presence.

At this moment, Qi Ruqing's face was pale and haggard, her eyes bloodshot and her lips white.

It appears to be in a state of extreme lethargy.

This is completely different from the previous Qi Ruoqing.

Upon seeing Fang Yu, Qi Ruqing's expression changed slightly, with a glimmer in her eyes.

But soon, these lights vanished quickly, eventually returning to their lifeless and dim state.

"There's the scent of the Sky Hawk clan on you. Seems like you've received the Blood Pact, haven't you" Fang Yu said to Qi Ruqing when he saw her.

Qi Ruoqing's body trembled, she lowered her head and couldn't speak.

"You came here, if it's to ask me to help Qi Jia…then I can tell you in advance, you made a wasted trip." Fang Yu said lightly. away, or he could continue to blackmail Xiang Tianhe and get more benefits."No, I can't hand over the Immaculate Heart! Absolutely not!"Xiang Tianhe's mind raced, and he quickly made a decision.He kn...
