Song Nanfeng, who had initially shown a hint of pride, suddenly changed his expression after his seemingly justified words fell.
Fear, bitterness, and disbelief—various negative emotions surged across his scarred face.
A hand was pressed against Song Nanfeng's chest, though he did not know when it had happened.
It was Zuo Zongshou's hand. In the palm, Song Nanfeng could distinctly feel a terrifying Qi Energy surging; with just a slight movement on his part, this horrifying Qi Energy could erupt instantly and completely tear his body apart!
He had been ambushed!
This was Song Nanfeng's first thought.
But why would Zuo Zongshou do this? Did he want to kill him to silence him?
Song Nanfeng couldn't understand. They were already in the same boat; why would the other party go to such lengths? He fixed his gaze on the indifferent Zuo Zongshou in front of him, as if trying to find the answer on his face.
"Can't figure it out?" At that moment, a calm voice suddenly came from afar.
Struggling to shift his gaze from Zuo Zongshou, Song Nanfeng slightly turned his head to look at Fang Chen, who was approaching with a serene expression and a faint smile, as if taking a leisurely stroll. He suddenly froze for a moment, then his heart trembled violently.
"You all!..."
As he scanned Fang Chen and Zuo Zongshou, Song Nanfeng seemed to grasp something suddenly.
He stared intently at Fang Chen, with terrifying bloodshot veins swirling in his eyes. Suddenly, he burst into loud, sinister laughter: "Good, good! What a Fang Chen! I truly underestimated you; I didn't expect you to have such skills and to have already climbed up to someone from Jincheng Sect so early. Impressive!"
Although he had noticed some connection between Zuo Zongshou and Fang Chen, in Song Nanfeng's view, Zuo Zongshou must be the leader as a Peak of the Transformation Realm expert. Therefore, while his laughter seemed like praise, it was actually mocking Fang Chen in disguise.
After all, it was quite embarrassing for a True Disciple of Ziyang Sect to be dependent on an Outer Sect Disciple of Jincheng Sect. If this got out, it would be extremely shameful and would bring disgrace upon the entire Ziyang Sect.
However, just as Song Nanfeng's mocking laughter faded away, a respectful voice sounded beside him.
"Master." With one hand pressed against Song Nanfeng's chest, controlling his life, Zuo Zongshou slightly bowed towards Fang Chen with an expression of awe on his face.
"Master?" Upon hearing this, Song Nanfeng was completely stunned. He turned to look at the seemingly sincere Zuo Zongshou, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
"How... how is this... possible!" His mind shook intensely; Song Nanfeng could hardly articulate his disbelief as he stammered in shock at the reality before him.
Master, what does it mean to be a master?
That title is only used when one has complete control over their own life; even between ordinary followers and those they follow, this title is not used. If Fang Chen were to call Zuo Zongshou master, Song Nanfeng might be able to accept it to some extent, but now the situation was completely reversed.
Zuo Zongshou, whose cultivation had reached the Peak of the Transformation Realm and whose strength was firmly above his own, had actually been subdued by Fang Chen!
This...
Incredible, hard to believe!
Just how powerful was this guy?
Looking at Fang Chen's calm smile and relaxed demeanor, Song Nanfeng felt increasingly that Fang Chen was unfathomable.
“Haha, impressive, impressive. I admit defeat, I am convinced…” Song Nanfeng said with a bitter smile.
At this moment, all the questions in his heart were finally resolved.
Why had Zuo Zongshou acted this way before? Why would Zuo Zongshou of the Jincheng Sect join forces with him to kill two disciples of the Crimson Bright Sect? He understood everything… but it was all too late; his life had already reached its end.
Bang!
At the moment Fang Chen nodded, Zuo Zongshou's hand pressed against Song Nanfeng's chest suddenly trembled lightly. Immediately after, a dull sound resonated from Song Nanfeng's chest.
The entire person was violently thrown away by a tremendous force. In mid-air, dazzling blood light flickered and burst forth; the once arrogant Song Nanfeng of the Ziyang Sect had fallen.
A gentle breeze blew, carrying the thick smell of blood into the distance. With a wave of his sleeve, a surge of energy shot out, shattering Song Nanfeng and the bodies of the two Crimson Bright Sect disciples. Fang Chen scanned the empty surroundings and said calmly, “Let’s go.”
After saying that, the two figures moved and instantly vanished from the spot.
Dealing with Song Nanfeng and the others had originally been just a coincidence; now Fang Chen's most important task was to break through. Having obtained a peak Lava Demon Heart from the Primordial Embryo Realm, he already had an opportunity to break through to the Alchemy Realm!
...
In a hidden cave, Fang Chen sat cross-legged. Not far from him, Zuo Zongshou stood quietly at the entrance of the cave, appearing as if he were on guard.
A Lava Demon Heart, about the size of a head, floated silently in front of Fang Chen.
Knock, knock, knock...
The blood-red Heart is beating, and with each beat, an overwhelming aura is released.
"After breaking through to the Alchemy Realm, it's time to visit the Heritage Site."
Fang Chen murmured, his eyes filled with determination.
Now, his strength is insufficient, but after breaking through to the Alchemy Realm, his power will surge. By then, even if he is not as strong as a Primordial Embryo Realm warrior, he will be close enough. At that point, he will naturally qualify to venture into the Thunder Abyss. After all, the most precious treasures in the entire Colorful Sacred Realm are still the Heritage from the Heritage Site.
In his previous life, he was already a powerful figure in the Heavenly Realm. In this life, having gained most of the memories of a Nirvana Realm expert, Fang Chen finds that the allure of the Heritage within the Heritage Site of the Colorful Sacred Realm is far less than that for ordinary warriors. However, no one would ever complain about having too much powerful Heritage. Even if he doesn't need it, Fang Chen does not wish to let those two old acquaintances from Jincheng Sect and Crimson Bright Sect get their hands on it.
Even if he is not their opponent, relying on his immense Divine Consciousness and operating from the shadows, there may still be opportunities for Fang Chen to disrupt their plans. After all, that Heritage Site deep within the Colorful Sacred Realm is not a benevolent place; on the contrary, it is filled with dangers.
"Then now, let me break through!"
Fang Chen whispered to himself. He glanced at Zuo Zongshou guarding the cave entrance and slowly closed his eyes.
