The howling echoed, carrying an indelible sorrow that swept through the surroundings.
In the courtyard, Fang Chen's gaze was fixed firmly on Chan'er’s black coffin, his expression frenzied.
Having been reborn, he worked tirelessly to enhance his strength, all in hopes of changing the tragedies of his past life, to prevent those around him from repeating the same mistakes, and to ensure that tragedy would not strike again.
But now… even though Fang Chen had slain all the culprits responsible for Chan'er’s death in his previous life, Chan'er still lay dead, motionless in the cold coffin. Although she had lived a month longer this time and the circumstances had changed, even her cause of death was different, the unchanging fact remained: the tragic ending.
"Dead, still dead." After the wailing subsided, Fang Chen murmured to himself, the sorrow emanating from within him growing ever more intense. As this sorrow spread, the clarity in Fang Chen's eyes slowly faded away, replaced by confusion.
His father, Fang Qingshan, only knew that Chan'er and Fang Chen shared a close relationship; Chan'er’s death was difficult for Fang Chen to accept. However, he did not realize that beyond that, Chan'er’s death was a tremendous blow to Fang Chen—a devastating setback to all his efforts to change the tragedies of his past life. It was almost an unspoken denial!
Despite all his efforts, Chan'er’s tragedy remained unchanged; in the end, she still died. One could say that although Chan'er’s fate faced some twists this time around, it ultimately returned to the trajectory of his past life, ending in a tragic death.
What about Fang Chen's own fate? What about his father's fate and that of the entire Fang Family? Would they also end up like in his previous life—dust returning to dust? Fang Chen did not know; at this moment, he was gradually becoming lost.
This was a denial of his own beliefs!
Consequently, at this moment, even Fang Chen's heart for martial arts began to cloud over. He stood there dazedly, the confusion on his face growing ever deeper.
Just then, within him, the half-black half-white Flower of the Great Path suddenly trembled lightly, and a strange aura instantly spread out. In that moment when this strange aura expanded, Fang Chen's whole being jolted as clarity returned to his eyes.
Now that his father and grandfather were still alive and the Fang Family remained intact—indeed stronger than in his previous life—and with his cultivation far surpassing that of the same period in his past life. Although the threat of extermination loomed closer, he still had time; there was still room for him to grow stronger.
Moreover, in this life, he had obtained part of the precious memories of a Nirvana Realm expert and inherited the legacy of a Half-Step Nirvana Realm Expert while joining Ziyang Sect. How could all of this possibly be an illusion?
Although Chan'er had died, there were many others and more tragedies waiting for Fang Chen’s intervention! Furthermore, that mother he had yet to meet was also waiting for him. How could he sink into despair or deny himself?
Fang Chen clenched his fists tightly; at that moment, all traces of confusion finally vanished from his eyes as clarity once again illuminated his face.
However, soon after, a shadow fell over Fang Chen's handsome features.
Though he felt powerless to change Chan'er’s death—a significant regret in his heart—Chan'er absolutely could not have died so unjustly.
Indeed, there was definitely something wrong with Chan'er’s death!
Although he did not know what had happened to the Fang Family during his absence from Fengyan City, everything from the subtle expressions of the guards at Fang Residence when they saw him return, to the reactions of his grandfather and father, reminded Fang Chen that Chan'er’s death was definitely suspicious.
“Grandfather, Father, how did Chan'er die?” The hoarse voice came from Fang Chen, each word pronounced with emphasis. At that moment, the temperature in the courtyard suddenly dropped, and a suffocating aura continuously emanated from Fang Chen, causing unease.
Fang Zheng Tian and Fang Qingshan exchanged worried glances as they looked at Fang Chen. They had anticipated that Fang Chen would react extremely strongly once he learned about Chan'er’s incident. However, they clearly underestimated his reaction.
At this moment, although Fang Chen's complexion had returned to calm and no longer appeared as pale as before, this calmness only made Fang Zheng Tian and Fang Qingshan more anxious. To them, it felt like a storm was brewing. They hesitated even more; if they told Fang Chen the truth, would he completely lose control?
“Grandfather, Father, how did Chan'er die?” Just as they hesitated, Fang Chen's hoarse voice rang out again. As he spoke, the oppressive atmosphere around them thickened, and the chill in the air intensified. Fang Chen's tall figure began to tremble slightly.
Though the tremors were faint, with each slight shudder from Fang Chen, Fang Zheng Tian and Fang Qingshan's pupils contracted slightly. To them, Fang Chen seemed like a ticking time bomb; a light touch could cause an explosion that would be uncontrollable.
Seeing Fang Chen in this state filled both Fang Zheng Tian and Fang Qingshan with deep concern. Finally, Fang Zheng Tian sighed softly and said, “Alright, I will tell you.”
It turned out that after Fang Chen entered the Colorful Sacred Realm and Lian Yiyue passed the Entry Examination to officially become an Inner Sect Disciple of Ziyang Sect, people from Charming Immortal Sect and Royal Zhao Family began to arrive in Fengyan City to congratulate the Fang Family.
Fang Chen already had dealings with Charming Immortal Sect. Now that Lian Yiyue had successfully become a disciple of Ziyang Sect, it was undoubtedly a significant event for Charming Immortal Sect. Moreover, with their connections within Ziyang Sect, they had certainly heard about Fang Chen's remarkable abilities.
Thus, although their visit was ostensibly to congratulate him, it also carried an intention to form connections. After all, given Fang Chen's displayed strength, he was bound for greatness. It would be advantageous for Charming Immortal Sect to establish a good relationship with him or his family before he fully matured.
The visit from Charming Immortal Sect went smoothly without any incidents; they stayed at Fang Residence for two or three days before leaving. Shortly after their departure, another group arrived.
Royal Zhao Family!
In Great Zhao Kingdom, while sects held significant power, it did not mean that Royal Zhao Family was weak. On the contrary, this usually low-profile family possessed tremendous strength and influence within Great Zhao Kingdom. The Zhao Family was an exceptionally powerful cultivation family that was not inferior to Qixiao Sect where Song Donglai belonged. Furthermore, Royal Zhao Family represented orthodoxy in Great Zhao Kingdom.
In summary, Royal Zhao Family was strong. However, this strength was not singular; there were several families within Great Zhao Kingdom that could compete with them. Consequently, competition among these families was fierce. The Zhao Family held a position of orthodoxy and thus gained significant advantages when recruiting talents.
Additionally, every time Ziyang Sect recruited disciples from Great Zhao Kingdom—excluding a few major powers—the Zhao Family would send people to congratulate them and present gifts.
After all, every individual who became a disciple of Ziyang Sect represented a significant potential investment for them. Moreover, individuals like Fang Chen who came from remote places like Fengyan City and had no backing were particularly appealing since they were easier to recruit.
Therefore, Royal Zhao Family's visit to Fengyan City seemed quite reasonable.
However, what no one expected was that this visit by the Zhao Family would trigger a series of subsequent storms.
The Zhao Family came to Fengyan City with a total of four people. Aside from Zhao Li, who was at the Late Stage of Transformation Realm, there were only three younger members of the Zhao Family at the Qi Boundary. However, the incident occurred with these three younger members.
By chance, Zhao Lie among them saw Chan'er in Fang Residence and was immediately captivated by her beauty. Although Chan'er was just a maid, she was exceptionally beautiful. Before Fang Yiming and others were killed by Fang Chen, they had often set their sights on Chan'er because of her looks.
Her beautiful appearance and status as a maid directly led to Chan'er's tragedy. After several failed attempts to coerce and entice her, Zhao Lie and the others took advantage of a moment when the Fang Family members were not paying attention and abducted Chan'er, intending to force her. However, Chan'er resolutely refused to comply and ultimately chose to take her own life to protect her dignity.
When the Fang Family discovered Chan'er, only a cold corpse remained.
"Zhao Lie, Zhao Gang, Zhao Ye!" Fang Chen gritted his teeth and spat out these names slowly. As his hoarse voice echoed, it felt like a gust of cold wind blowing in from the Netherworld, causing Fang Zheng Tian and Fang Qingshan beside him to shiver involuntarily.
At the same time, the overwhelming killing intent that had been suppressed within Fang Chen began to seep out uncontrollably.
Suddenly, a wind rose in the courtyard. As the Gray Wind swept through, Fang Zheng Tian and Fang Qingshan's expressions changed dramatically. The originally vibrant flowers and plants suddenly turned a shade of dead gray. Then, at a visible speed, they began to wither away. A thick aura of death mixed with an oppressive killing intent swept through, forming a terrifying gale that ravaged the courtyard.
"This... this..." Fang Zheng Tian and Fang Qingshan were completely stunned by the horrifying scene before them.
Although under Fang Chen's mental control, the killing intent and death aura surrounding them did not invade their bodies or harm them in any way, as practitioners of Alchemy Realm, they understood that the power permeating the air around them was enough to annihilate them completely. And this was merely the momentum emanating from Fang Chen!
