"Scoundrel!" The roar echoed like thunder, a massive wave of sound carrying a surge of anger that rolled through the air, accompanied by an overwhelming pressure from a strong practitioner of the Primordial Embryo Realm. In that moment, an elderly figure appeared before everyone.
"Ancestor Yuan!" The moment Zhao Ye and Zhao Li saw this figure, their expressions changed dramatically. The fear and despair in their eyes suddenly flickered with a glimmer of hope.
Zhao Yuan, the highest-ranking member of the Royal Zhao Family in terms of both seniority and cultivation level, was a warrior of the Primordial Embryo Realm.
"Ancestor Yuan, he killed Zhao Lie and Zhao Gang! Quickly, kill him!" The only remaining junior from the Zhao Family, Zhao Ye, shouted loudly. The fear and trepidation in his gaze towards Fang Chen had vanished, replaced by endless resentment and urgent killing intent.
In Zhao Ye's view, no matter how strong Fang Chen was, he was still merely a warrior of the Alchemy Realm. Since he was an Alchemy Realm warrior, he could never contend with Ancestor Yuan of the Primordial Embryo Realm. As long as Ancestor Yuan acted in anger, he would surely be able to slay Fang Chen. Moreover, Zhao Ye had his own concerns.
At this moment, witnessing Zhao Gang's death right before his eyes, Ancestor Yuan should be at his angriest. This was the best time to kill Fang Chen. If Ancestor Yuan calmed down or if Fang Chen's identity were revealed, would Ancestor Yuan dare to strike against someone who held the status of a disciple from Ziyang Sect?
He wouldn't dare! In fact, if it came to that point, not only would he not be able to kill Fang Chen, but to avoid incurring resentment from such a promising Heavenly Pride like Fang Chen towards the Zhao Family, Zhao Ye might very well become a target for venting frustration!
However, just as Zhao Ye began to shout loudly, a chilling sensation enveloped him completely, causing him to shiver involuntarily. After the shiver passed, he saw a pair of emotionless eyes fixated on him.
"Don't worry; it will soon be your turn," Fang Chen said calmly without even glancing at Zhao Yuan again, seemingly oblivious to the unexpected guest from the Primordial Embryo Realm beside him.
"What an arrogant fellow; this is the first time I've seen someone so bold!" Seeing this scene, Zhao Yuan was both furious and amused. This person not only killed Zhao Gang while he was absent but now dared to threaten his juniors right in front of him. It was as if he regarded a warrior of the Primordial Embryo Realm as nothing. Did he think he was a strong practitioner of the Heavenly Realm?
Zhao Yuan laughed in anger; how could such a mere junior from the Alchemy Realm be so arrogant? Wait a minute—Alchemy Realm?
Wasn't there only two Alchemy Realm warriors from the Fang Family in Fengyan City? How did this young man come out of nowhere?
"Hmm?" Zhao Yuan suddenly focused his gaze on Fang Chen. His previously furious demeanor shifted as he took a good look at Fang Chen for the first time.
Upon closer inspection, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but gasp in shock.
This was actually a boy who looked no older than fifteen or sixteen!
Was he cultivating since he was in the womb? At such a young age, he had already reached the Alchemy Realm. Compared to him, Zhao Yuan felt like he had lived like a dog for so long. In contrast to Fang Chen, Zhao Yuan suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of shame.
However, after feeling ashamed, his unease grew even stronger.
The reason he rushed over so quickly was that he sensed the overwhelming killing intent that Fang Chen had previously emitted in Fengyan City. But after Zhao Lie was brutally killed by Fang Chen, that overwhelming killing intent dissipated along with Fang Chen's rage.
Although the killing intent was gone, when Zhao Yuan arrived, he witnessed Fang Chen slaying Zhao Gang. Feeling disregarded, his furious mind had no extra time or thought to understand the situation; all his thoughts were consumed by how to kill Fang Chen and avenge his junior.
However, a sudden thought made him tremble.
Something was off!
He looked up at the large plaque marked with the character "Fang" not far away, and then at Fang Zheng Tian and Fang Qingshan, who were vigilantly watching him as if ready to pounce. Then he glanced at Fang Chen, who remained indifferent and seemingly unconcerned about him. A bad premonition surfaced in Zhao Yuan's mind.
"Are you Fang Chen?" he asked tentatively.
This was the entrance of the Fang Family. Although Zhao Yuan did not know Fang Zheng Tian and Fang Qingshan personally, he could sense their cultivation levels in the Alchemy Realm and naturally understood their identities. The expressions and demeanor of these two clearly indicated a deep connection with the strange youth who had killed Zhao Gang and Zhao Lie.
It could even be said that this youth was indeed from the Fang Residence and was likely a direct descendant of these two.
Within the Fang Residence, who else could be both a direct descendant of Fang Qingshan and Fang Zheng Tian and possess extraordinary talent with immense potential in martial arts?
Fang Chen!
All these clues connected in Zhao Yuan's mind, and suddenly those two words jumped out at him.
He looked at the boy's indifferent face, which revealed a hint of a smile after his question, and the bitterness in his heart deepened.
Although Fang Chen did not directly admit it, that smile undoubtedly spoke volumes.
The boy who had just killed Zhao Lie and Zhao Gang, and whose cultivation clearly reached the Alchemy Realm, was none other than Fang Chen from the Ziyang Sect! He had actually returned from the Ziyang Sect, and his cultivation level... Zhao Yuan's eyelid twitched, and the bitterness in his heart intensified. He had originally planned to completely eliminate Fang Chen, but now that he had guessed Fang Chen's identity, he dared not make a move.
He knew very well that someone like Fang Chen, a freak even within the Ziyang Sect, must be a core disciple who was highly valued. If anything happened to him, the Ziyang Sect would undoubtedly hold him accountable. At that time, the repercussions would likely not fall solely on him, Zhao Yuan, but on the entire Zhao Family.
Faced with the wrath of the Ziyang Sect, although the Royal Zhao Family was renowned in the Great Zhao Kingdom and few dared to offend them, they could not stir up any significant waves and would only head towards destruction. Moreover, deep down, Zhao Yuan felt an unsettling sense of threat from Fang Chen that he could hardly believe himself.
What did this mean? Zhao Yuan understood clearly. Even if he took action, he might not be able to kill him! As a formidable Primordial Embryo Realm expert, he found it absurd that he could not deal with someone in the Alchemy Realm. Under normal circumstances, he would have scoffed at such a notion and never believed it; however, witnessing this scene unfold before his eyes forced him to accept this reality.
He looked at Fang Chen and shook his head; in that instant, he seemed to age considerably.
Killing was not an option; even if he attempted it, success was uncertain. The only path left for Zhao Yuan was one.
Compromise!
But they could compromise; would Fang Chen agree?
Although he had never interacted with Fang Chen before and this was their first meeting, based on some news from the Ziyang Sect and the bloody scene before him, this astonishingly talented freak was also someone ruthless and decisive. What troubled Zhao Yuan further was that Fang Chen clearly had not yet finished killing.
"Damn it! Weren't Zhao Li and the others supposed to visit the Fang Family to offer congratulations? How did things turn out like this?" Zhao Yuan suddenly recalled this detail.
If the Zhao Family had come to Fengyan City seeking revenge against the Fang Family and he had been killed by Fang Chen due to his lack of strength, that would have been one thing. But they had clearly come to offer congratulations; how did things change so drastically just because he arrived two days late?
What on earth had happened?!
Zhao Yuan felt like he was about to go insane, filled with frustration and annoyance!
Originally, it was clearly a good thing to be able to associate with such Heavenly Pride individuals. It would have been beneficial for both them and the Zhao Family. But now, this good fortune had turned into a calamity, and Zhao Lie and Zhao Gang had already become souls lost to death. The shift in circumstances was not even close to being as dramatic as a complete 180-degree turn.
Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, Zhao Yuan instinctively felt that this matter was closely related to the three juniors, Zhao Lie. At that moment, sensing something was off, Zhao Ye shouted again, " Ancestor Yuan, avenge us and slay this madman. Zhao Lie and Zhao Gang died so tragically!"
"Shut up!" Zhao Yuan, already extremely irritated and instinctively feeling that this situation had devolved due to the actions of Zhao Lie and the others, could not possibly go after Fang Chen now that he knew his identity. Zhao Ye urging him to take action was not about avenging Zhao Lie and Zhao Gang, but rather seemed like a way to get himself killed!
With that thought, Zhao Yuan became even more enraged. He couldn't be bothered to look at the visibly shaken Zhao Ye again and instead focused on the relatively calmer Zhao Li, saying in a deep voice, "What exactly is going on? Explain it to me in detail."
As he spoke, he cupped his hands towards Fang Chen, indicating for him to wait a moment.
In contrast to how furious and imposing Zhao Yuan had been upon his arrival, the scene had clearly changed too quickly. Not far away, Fang Zheng Tian and Fang Qingshan, who had been prepared to fight after Zhao Yuan arrived, were momentarily stunned by what they saw. They exchanged glances and shared a bitter smile. However, after that bitter smile, a bright smile blossomed on their faces.
Clearly, they had underestimated Fang Chen. Even the Zhao Family, after having two of their juniors killed by him, did not dare to truly confront him.
"Good." Fang Zheng Tian nodded secretly, brushing aside his previous worries and feeling a sense of relief.
In stark contrast to Fang Zheng Tian's mood, as Zhao Li recounted the events in detail, watching the expression on Zhao Yuan darken little by little, despair filled Zhao Ye's heart. He knew he was doomed.
