Chapter 1016: Derivation

As Fang Xingjian watched his clone start to derive an understanding of this world’s martial arts, he continued pondering, ‘…It’s not just the Demon Sect. Right now, I’ve become the Great Jin Dynasty’s Emperor, and although I have the justice and status on my side, the number of enemies I have is also unprecedented.’

Right now, the dynasty was nearing its downfall. There was the uprising of rebels, aristocrats, and feudal vassals taking over land and claiming it as their own. These people were watching this Emperor with covetous gazes.

Over the past few days, Fang Xingjian had read the reports from the Azure Dragon Secret Bureau and gotten a great understanding about this world’s politics.

As there was the presence of martial arts and martial arts experts with the capability of going up against armies, the experts and sects in this world possessed extremely high statuses.

Tiangang Realm experts, who stood at the very top of the pugilistic world, also had the capability of changing the world situation with just a single world.

The passing of the royal family’s Old Ancestor, who had been at the Tiangang Realm, was also a very important reason that the Great Jin Dynasty had entered a decline.

All of the rebels in the 12 regions would more or less be associated with major sects in the pugilistic worlds. The strongest feudal vassals were also closely connected with the seven strongest sects in the world—the Three Mountains Four Peaks.

‘Demon Sect… and there’s the Three Mountains Four Peaks…’

Fang Xingjian thought of how there was a shortage of manpower in the Imperial Capital at the moment. He dug out the paper seal.

After opening up the black paper, the Crown Princess’ furious expression was revealed. Her cheeks were puffed up like two buns as she glared at Fang Xingjian, seemingly with hints of blood streaks in her eyes.

“Fang Xingjian, you haven’t forgotten that I’m inside, right?

“Do you know how terrible it is to be alone in here?! Are you trying to drive me crazy?!

“There’s no food, no books, no lights, and not even a servant whom I can talk to. How do you expect me to spend my days in here?!”

Fang Xingjian looked at how flustered and exasperated she was. He smiled, “Then do you want to come out?”

…

Late night, the moonlight scattered down onto the earth like silver frost.

It was already the time for the night curfew to take effect. There were not many people along the streets in the entire Divine Capital, only the occasional passing by of the patrolling city guards. As almost everyone was trained in martial arts, they did not even need to hold a torch. They would merely need to throw a gaze and be able to see every single movement in the darkness.

Right now, in a manor in the north of the Divine Capital, there was a young lady wearing a black dress on her wonderful figure. She was like a fairy in the darkness, fluttering to and fro in the air before entering a study like a wisp of smoke.

The moment she entered the study, she saw an official reading the document in his hand, frowning.

“Who’s there?”

When that official saw the figure suddenly appear before him, he was about to call for help. However, when he saw that young lady’s face at the next moment, he immediately lowered his voice and dropped to his knees. He asked, “Lady Saint, why have you come?”

The young lady’s face was pale like she had not seen the sun throughout the year. Her pupils were bloodshot as if they were embedded with red rubies, revealing a limitless sense of mystery.

Hearing the official’s question, the young lady’s voice rang out, “This operation has failed, and the Sacred Sect’s set up that had been prepared for many years has gone down the drain. The Elders in the sect are enraged, and there’s a need to investigate what’s going on.”

The official sighed and said, “The Fang Clan’s abilities seemed to be stronger than we expected. There are probably still Tiangang Realm experts hidden in the royal family who are watching over the situation.”

“Tiangang Realm?” The female Saint’s brows twitched. “What’s going on? Could it be that Fang Youwei hasn’t died?”
