Behind the tall tattooed man, the poor commoners cheered.

The tall tattooed man let out a cold laugh and headed for the trio. “The three of you are good materials.”

However, at the next moment, he suddenly came to a stop and looked behind the three of them with a serious gaze. A young man had suddenly appeared without them realizing.

Fang Xingjian did not say anything. He only took a look at the situation in the surroundings and then slowly walked up to the tall tattooed man.

The handsome Knight also heard sounds and turned to look toward Fang Xingjian who was walking toward them. He shouted, “Be careful! His Myriad Phantom Fist can create illusions from fist force and be thrown out as an attack across space. Don’t let him draw his distance from you…”

However, before he finished his words, that tall tattooed man let out an explosive bellow and started to flee.

“Oh? You know me?” Fang Xingjian raised his palm calmly and tapped down across space, pressing down the tall tattooed man onto the ground as if he were a fly.

Then, he sent his sword intent sweeping outward, knocking all the commoner believers out.

Seeing how Fang Xingjian had dealt with the other party with such ease, the handsome Knight and his two subordinates just stared, eyes and mouth agape.

The tall tattooed man glared at Fang Xingjian and said while smiling bitterly, “To think that it’s you. You’ve already gotten your eyes on us? It’s really as True Lord Qingshan says…”

“Who is True Lord Qingshan?” Fang Xingjian frowned and threw a quick glance toward the shadow in the south. There seemed to be sword light sweeping across void space and as an agonizing cry rang out. The tall tattooed man’s partner, the short man, exited his concealed status, falling onto the ground while covered in blood.

He had been pierced through his stomach.

The tall tattooed man looked at Fang Xingjian with an expression of calmly facing death, “Fang Xingjian, you can only be arrogant now, while it still lasts. We already know of your background and our Shang is created just to stop you. Countless legendary characters, experts, and heroes will come to stop you. Even True Lord Qingshan has his eyes on you. You’re dead meat. I’ll be waiting for you down in hell.”

“?”

Fang Xingjian’s expression was stunned for a moment. He then realized that the other party had already self-detonated his martial will, completely entering a vegetative state.

Since martial will could be used to attack others, it could naturally also be used to attack oneself. When that happened, the person’s consciousness would become countless shattered fragments, making it impossible to return to its original state. The person would either enter a vegetative state or become a lunatic.

This method of suicide was light-speed fast and even Fang Xingjian had been unable to stop him.

A person with such means of controlling their martial will should be at least a Conferred Knight. How had this person been able to do this?

He then looked at the other one. The man had also committed suicide at the same time.

Fang Xingjian frowned. ‘They know of my background?’ His eyes narrowed slightly. There were two things about his background. The first was that he came from Earth’s Demonic City. The other was his sword arts talent.

He did not care about others knowing that he came from Earth’s Demonic City. It would not pose a big problem to him.

However, his sword arts talent, the purple flame, the man dressed in black… He had yet to understand all these until now. He planned to head to the Church of Universal Truth that was situated in the north after he had attained the Divine level and to settle the matters in the Empire.

To think that someone was saying that they had already seen through his background.

‘Could it be that someone knows about the purple flames as well?’ As he thought about this, Fang Xingjian had already soared into the air and with a slight turn, headed for the direction of the Regional Academy.

‘The sense from Sudden Inspiration was right. There’s someone who knows of this?’

The moment Fang Xingjian returned to the Regional Academy, he gave out orders to investigate Shang, and to go all-out into bringing down this evil sect and into capturing their members.

Fang Xingjian had immense influence right now. It could be said that after the Second Prince had gone into seclusion, he had become the spokesperson for the entire faction under the Second Prince, being the strongest expert in the Great Western Region, an unsurpassable existence by people from both the underworld and the righteous paths.

The regional government sent people to investigate the Shang. Many factions, including the Radiant Cult and the Ice Palace had also sent people to help out. In less than a week, they had wiped out many of Shang’s bases.

However, the people from this organization were far too loyal. Almost everyone who had the chance to do so would self-detonate their consciousness to commit suicide, while commoner believers knew nothing of the organization’s upper echelon.

And as countless of their bases were wiped out, the entire Shang gradually fell silent, as if they had completely given up on the Great Western Region.
