Immortal of the Nine Realms

Li Daoye was full of shock. "Lord Fang can actually kill a Golden Core Realm cultivator?"

Li Da Yanjing and Elder Mingjing were familiar with Fang Chen and knew his background. Now, they could finally confirm Lord Tiger's words. This young man had an extraordinary background and likely had a Nascent Soul Realm expert behind him!

"Lord Fang, if you want us to go to the outer capital, we'll go there!" Li Daoye didn't hesitate and flew toward the direction of the outer capital.

"Thank you for your help. Please take care of yourself too!" Big Eyed Li clasped his fist and followed Elder Mingjing as they chased after Li Daoye.

Soon, he caught up with Li Daoye and scolded him harshly, "Didn't you say there was a chance of survival in the direction of the hunting ground?"

"Yes, didn't we meet Lord Fang?! If it weren't for Lord Fang, you and I would have died at the hands of that cultivator. Elder Mingjing could only block one sword at most!" Li Daoye said casually.

Big Eyed Li's expression froze as he looked at Elder Mingjing, who was quietly looking at him. He felt embarrassed and hurriedly explained, "It was a critical moment just now, don't mind me. I will only use you to block one sword at most, absolutely not a second one."

Elder Mingjing said quietly, "Sect Leader, I can't block a second strike for sure. In the future, if you need someone to block swords, find someone else. I think the young master has thick skin and strong bones...."

***

Fang Chen walked in the shadows and reaped one life after the other like a death god. Wherever he went, cultivators would fall with a single strike as long as they were under the Golden Core Realm.

During this time, he didn't stash any of the treasures he found but directly gave them to Little Sword. Little Sword was not picky and accepted treasures of all grades without discrimination.

Coupled with the Shadow Buddha Technique, Fang Chen didn't even use much spiritual energy when killing. Using this method, he had already cleared out five Golden Core Realm experts who had been moving and reaping lives in the inner capital.

The Spirit Blood Sect only became aware of their situation when he encountered the sixth Golden Core Realm cultivator, as that cultivator's spiritual barrier completely surrounded his body without any blind spots. It was no longer possible to use the Shadow Buddha Technique to ambush them.

"H-have mercy! Please spare us!"

Hundreds of cultivators kneeled before a Golden Core Realm cultivator and begged desperately for mercy. Around them stood several Spirit Blood Sect cultivators from the Foundation Building Realm to the Qi Refining Realm who looked at them with expressions of mockery. These cultivators were from one of the five major families in the inner capital. Their Golden Core Realm ancestors were either trapped in the hunting grounds or had already perished.

"It's not that I won't spare you, but... this is your fate," said the Spirit Blood Sect cultivator, sighing. "For the sake of achieving our grand mission, sacrifices must be made. If you can reincarnate, you will witness the peaceful and prosperous era prepared by our Blood Spirit Sect for you. At that time, your cultivation path will not be as difficult, and you will find that cultivation resources will be abundant."

"You madman! Your sect is just a bunch of madmen! You're willing to do anything for cultivation. You make yourself sound so noble, but in reality, you're just using us to refine your Blood Spirit Pills!"

Some cultivators who saw that the other party was unwilling to spare them despite their pleas, stood up and rebuked them angrily.

The Golden Core Realm cultivator from the Spirit Blood Sect remained calm and explained, "Do you think the Blood Spirit Pills refined from you weaklings are enough? At best, you're just a small part, we will still have to wait some time for the main dish."

He then raised his hand lightly, and a terrifying wave of spiritual energy surged madly. He wanted to send these cultivators on their way in the simplest manner possible.

Suddenly, a cold snort rang out. "You dare talk about keeping peace? You're dreaming!"

The Spirit Blood Sect’s cultivator lips suddenly curled up. "You finally show yourself. Everyone, take him down. I want to see who has the ability to ambush us and kill under our noses."

Thud, thud, thud.

Three heads that were stained blood-red were thrown over and rolled to the feet of the Spirit Blood Sect Golden Core cultivator. The owners of these heads seemed to have seen something incredible before they died, as their faces were filled with astonishment and unwillingness.

"How could this be...?"

That cultivator from the Spirit Blood Sect's eyes lost focus. These three were clearly his companions and they had agreed to stage a play to lure out the attacker in secret. But how... did they die so quietly?

The Spirit Blood Sect’s Golden Core Realm cultivator looked up, and a figure appeared before him. When he saw the other party's face clearly, his expression mirrored the same astonishment of the three that had died. "It's you... how could it be you..."

What followed was a flash of sword light that severed the cultivator's head from his spine. His expression was full of astonishment and unwillingness as he died.

The hundreds of cultivators who were kneeling were dumbfounded. Their faces turned stiff as they looked at Fang Chen.

Fang Chen asked lightly, "What are you waiting for? Are you planning to keep the remaining Spirit Blood Sect cultivators alive for the New Year?"

After hearing that, hundreds of cultivators rose up and started attacking the surrounding Spirit Blood Sect cultivators.

"Phew…" Fang Chen let out a gentle sigh, his face showing undeniable fatigue. The Golden Core Realm cultivator from the Spirit Blood Sect had been prepared. He had needed to use the Eight Desolation Supreme Sword Scripture to kill those four in the Golden Core Realm. Every time he killed one or two people, his spiritual energy would be depleted, despite his immortal sword vein. Regardless, using the Eight Desolation Supreme Sword Scripture was a heavy burden for Fang Chen.

Mirror of the Universe's voice echoes in Fang Chen's mind. "Brother, if you use this technique again, you'll shorten your lifespan, and it might even affect your current foundation since you haven't entered the Foundation Building Realm. Shouldn't you take a break?"

Fang Chen said lightly, "I'd like to take a break too, but... there's no time to waste. If the threat isn't eliminated, it’s a death sentence for me too."

He was a bit tired, but thankfully, he had acquired quite a few treasures along the way, and Little Sword seemed to have grown stronger again. Because of that, Fang Chen felt more relaxed.

Having searched the Golden Core Realm cultivator's body for treasures, Fang Chen saw that the surrounding Spirit Blood Sect cultivators had been dealt with. The hundreds of cultivators all looked at him and hesitated to speak.

"The Spirit Blood Sect wants to use the Hidden Cloud as a furnace and they won't spare you to achieve their goal. Hiding here is futile, either go to the outer capital or stay inside. Slay every Spirit Blood Sect cultivator you encounter, and fight for a glimmer of hope," said Fang Chen before disappearing into the shadows.

"That person just now... seemed like Fang Chen from the Fang Family!"

"Did he say that the Spirit Blood Sect is planning to use the Hidden Cloud Region as a furnace?!"

"Oh my god, those lunatics are truly insane!"

"Everyone, if the Spirit Blood Sect indeed has this intention, this matter is not simple at all. If we don't resist, we will truly have no way out!"

"Let's go! We’re headed to the outer capital!"

Hundreds of cultivators fled the scene and rushed toward the outer capital. Fang Chen sensed all of this from the shadows and nodded lightly. As long as cultivators spread the word and made others aware of Spirit Blood Sect's intentions, they would rise up and resist. His task was to intercept and keep the Golden Core Realm cultivators busy, making it difficult for them to intervene on a large scale.

Even if they realized his presence and his assassination of a Golden Core Realm cultivator, what could they do? His divine soul could see through all falsehood and traps, making it seem like the tricks of a child to him.
