Immortal of the Nine Realms

A hint of fatigue appeared on Fang Chen's face. Earlier, in order to ensure that he could completely kill both Tong Hu and the ancestor of the Heavenly Southern Sect, he had used the Eight Desolation Supreme Sword Scripture twice. Adding this strike, he had used it a total of three times.

Fortunately, now that he had immortal sword veins to act as his foundation, he no longer consumed his lifespan as easily as before. If he only used the first form, he didn't have to worry about any problems.

The two Foundation Building Realm cultivators were stunned as they did not expect their Golden Core Realm cultivator to be killed by someone with just one sword. When they finally regained their senses, they suddenly realized that the person had disappeared.

Puff, puff….

Fang Chen emerged from the shadows, ending the lives of the two Foundation Building Realm cultivators with one strike each.

The peasant woman looked shocked. "Lord Fang!?"

Yan Ruyue and Zhang Xiaoke were dumbfounded.

Only Zhang Xiaoke wore a smile that said: "This is how it should be."

Yan Ruyue took in a sharp breath. Her eyes were full of doubt. "He just... killed a Golden Core Realm cultivator!?"

"Elder Su, the situation in the imperial city is very dangerous now. If you have any trump cards, use them now. Don't wait until it's too late."

Fang Chen looked at the old hen, which had one of its wings broken, then turned and headed toward the hunting grounds. The Golden Core Realm cultivators over there couldn't hold on any longer, and if the Golden Core Realm cultivators from the Spirit Blood Sect were allowed to intervene, no one would be able to stop the complete refining of the entire imperial city.

The peasant immediately hugged the old hen into her arms and then led Yan Ruyue and Zhang Xiaoke to follow Fang Chen.

"Master, he's heading in that direction!" said Yan Ruyue, frightened.

“He must have his reasons. If we want to survive this, we can only follow him," whispered the peasant woman.

Zhang Xiaoke nodded with a smile. "Yes, we will be safe if we follow him. "

A flying sword suddenly shot out from the shadows, killing the Foundation Building Realm cultivator who was besieging Li Daoye and his companions.

Lida Yanjing was overjoyed. "Fourth Brother, you're just in time!"

Nong Guiquan emerged from the shadows, looking solemnly toward the direction of the hunting grounds.

"It seems like Big Brother is over there."

"Then we should head to the outer city!"

Without hesitation, Big-Eyed Li pulled Li Daoye and Elder Mingjing to run in the opposite direction.

Nong Guiquan was furious. "Second Brother, shouldn't we go rescue Big Brother?"

"Fourth Brother, you don't know how the situation is over there! Even without using the Fortune Observation Technique, I can confirm that it's a dead end. We won't survive if we go!" Big-Eyed Li persuaded. "Come with me first. Big Brother has many tricks up his sleeve. Maybe he won't die so easily. For the time being, we need to keep ourselves safe."

"No, I want to stay and kill the Spirit Blood Sect cultivators. There are more cultivators on that side of the hunting grounds." Nong Guiquan shook his head. "If you want to leave, go ahead."

"Fourth Brother, when did you become like this!? The Spirit Blood Sect isn't easy to mess with. Why do you want to stay and kill them!?" exclaimed Big-Eyed Li.

He, however, couldn't help but see Nong Guiquan in a new light, and a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.

"Fourth Brother, you also care about the people of the world. I admire you a lot. I'll definitely set up a shrine for you in the Eight Trigram Sect in the future!"

Nong Guiquan glanced at him and said lightly, "Someone told me that if I kill a Spirit Blood Sect’s Qi Refining Realm cultivator, I'll get two hundred low-grade spirit stones. If I kill a Spirit Blood Sect’s Foundation Building Realm cultivator, I'll get one thousand low-grade spirit stones. I have to earn this money!"

With that, Nong Guiquan cut off the head of the Foundation Building Realm cultivator who had just died and threw it into his storage ring. Then he melted back into the shadows and disappeared.

"A Qi Refining Realm for two hundred spirit stones? A Foundation Building Realm for one thousand spirit stones? I knew it, he wouldn’t have done this otherwise!" Big-Eyed Li muttered. "This business... I want in on it too!"

Suddenly, Elder Mingjing looked at Li Daoye and asked, "Young Sect Leader, what are you doing?"

Invisible white energy circulated around Li Daoye and flowed into his body through his seven orifices. After a while, Li Daoye opened his eyes, his hair turning a bit whiter.

"Let's go to the hunting grounds," Li Daoyi exclaimed with joy. "Our way out is over there. If we survive this, everyone will benefit!"

Big-Eyed Li went mad. "Are you crazy!?"

"Sect leader, the young sect master’s Divination Technique seems to be more powerful than your Fortune Qi Technique. Perhaps, we should listen to him," Elder Mingjing suggested.

Lida Yanjing clenched his teeth. "Fine, we'll listen to him this time. If things go south, we'll escape immediately. "

***

Fang Chen arrived at the hunting grounds where the situation was extremely disadvantageous. It was clear that Fang Tingjian and his group were being suppressed and were finding it difficult to fight back.

The number of Spirit Blood Sect's Foundation Building Realm and Qi Refining Realm cultivators had been increasing. They had probably sent reinforcements after they failed to assassinate Dongfang Haojie a few days ago. They were presumably here to aid in the refining of the imperial city.

Suddenly, Fang Wanli let out a roar. "Qian Wuji, you old turtle, are you also from Spirit Blood Sect!?"

Fang Tingjian came down from the sky and landed near Fang Chen. He had an injury that pierced through him, exposing his internal organs, which were ruptured and bleeding.

The person who launched the surprise attack was none other than Qian Wuji, who had previously teamed up with Fang Tingjian to deal with the Spirit Blood Sect's Golden Core Realm cultivator.

Immortal Tianwu and the others were stunned as they never expected Qian Wuji to betray them at this crucial moment.

Jiang Shun's face turned grim. "I shouldn't have come here this time, damn it!"

Under his protection, Sui Nianhua and the others were unharmed. Sui Nianhua's illusion technique even proved useful at this moment.

Princess Shenlong was shocked and furious as she stared at Qian Wuji with a mix of horror, confusion, and bewilderment. "Uncle!?"

Qian Wuji looked down upon Princess Shenlong and the others. "Since you call me Uncle, I'll ask you, do you want to join the Spirit Blood Sect?"

At that moment, the Golden Core Realm cultivators from Spirit Blood Sect arrived by his side. Including him, the Spirit Blood Sect now had three cultivators in the grand completion stage of the Golden Core Realm, seven to eight in the late stages, over ten in the mid stages, and dozens in the early stages. The Spirit Blood Sect's strength completely overwhelmed everyone.

"Uncle, the Great Qian is our homeland. How could you join the Spirit Blood Sect and slaughter your own people!?" said Princess Shenlong hoarsely.

Qian Wuji said indifferently, "During the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, I couldn't make it through, but I didn't want to die. I wanted to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm. Joining the Spirit Blood Sect was the best choice for me. I will have the qualification to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm after today. By then, not to mention a mere Great Qian Empire, I can easily create ten Great Qian Empires again!"

The princes and princesses present were all stunned. They never expected their ancestor to have such plans.

"Ancestor, I'm willing to join Spirit Blood Sect!" Qian Feng suddenly shouted hoarsely. Due to his shout, the Spirit Blood Sect cultivators who were attacking him paused for a moment. Many princes and princesses followed suit, expressing their willingness to join the Spirit Blood Sect.

However, Qian Wuji glanced at him and said lightly, "What qualifications do you have?"

Qian Feng, who thought he had caught a lifeline, almost fainted on the spot when he heard those words.

Qian Wuji then glanced at Qian Feng with disdain before looking at Princess Shenlong.

"Only you have the chance to join. If you join the Spirit Bood Sect, I can plead for leniency for you with the higher-ups. As for the others, they will all be refined into pills. You guys stand no chance of winning."
