135 Fallou (2/2)
The activated soldiers turned around and like how water would seep through sand, they disappeared in a moment.
”I have other important things, I shall take my leave first!”
Fang Yuan cupped his fists in politeness, leapt on the Iron-tailed Black Eagle and flew off.
”Who would've known that this boy had such potential to cultivate to such a realm... Some hard-working spiritual knights don't even get to achieve what he has now. I'm afraid that I was too reckless in handling today's situation...”
Only when the black shadow disappeared did Liu Yan sighed.
Only when he fought with him he realised Fang Yuan's cultivation was already at such a level!
”He is more than qualified to become a Prefecture Master.”
Taoist Mu Li looked serious as well. ”He is such a talent!”
He saw Fang Yuan's abilities and knew that the Prefecture Master would not be able to stop the fight in the heat of the battle, which was why he stood out to mediate.
Otherwise, if both of them really fought, Liu Yan might not be able to take Fang Yuan down, and instead, there would be a commotion with dire consequences.
It would be even more disadvantageous for his invasion plan.
”Pass the order down!”
Liu Yan frowned. ”If anyone spreads whatever happened today, I will kill their entire family!”
”Yes Master!”
Taoist Mu Li took his leave, but he appeared secretive...
...
Second day in the Prefecture City.
People from all over arrived here to form a large market, business was very good.
Fang Yuan changed into a brown robe and entered the market.
Even though they only fought a hand, Liu Yan should know his abilities. Together with the Iron-tailed Black Eagle, as long as he was not trapped, he should be able to escape!
Since it was such, there was no meaning to find trouble for him; that would only make him more enemies.
'It's good to be at odds, I'll have one more reason to reject him...'
'Seeing Liu Yan's energy yesterday, although it still had a strong spiritual pressure, he felt a hint of evil energy coming from his forehead. It seemed that the secret way from Lu Renjia's collection is not any good, and it might have dire consequences...'
Fang Yuan was casually strolling through the stalls and stopped by a few to take a look.
At his current cultivation realm, he would not lay his eye on any normal things. The few exceptions also did not pique his interest, and he felt regretful for not being able to find anything good.
'Although... It would not make sense for all the good stuff to come to me, that's like a story in a novel!'
Fang Yuan laughed and looked at the sun.
It was noon, and the warm sunlight landed on him, giving him a different feeling.
As he was looking for a restaurant to fill his appetite, a plain-looking horse stopped in front of him.
”Grandmaster Fang, we meet again!”
As the curtains flipped, it revealed an excited Xie Lingyun. ”Please enter the carriage, and we can discuss things!”
”Again?”
Fang Yuan shook his head. Although he knew that whatever happened in the Secluded Mountain Prefecture could not be hidden from Liu Yan, and furthermore he fought with Liu Yan yesterday, he still decisively went up the carriage.
”To the best restaurant!”
He ordered her the moment he entered, as though Xie Lingyun was the carriage master.
”Since grandmaster is interested, Xie Lingyun is willing to accommodate. If grandmaster comes by the capital next time, Xie Lingyun can treat you to a vegetarian meal at Clear Spring Temple, and I promise you, it will be unforgettable!”
Xie Lingyun bit her lips and smiled.
”My apologies, but I live on the outskirts of the city and have no interest in the capital!”
Fang Yuan replied sarcastically.
”Please do not take it to heart!”
Xie Lingyun apologised and appeared serious. ”It was Lingyun's inappropriateness the previous time, please forgive me!”
”Since you are here, it seems that you are rather well-informed and know about yesterday night's fight. However, you can stop pleading for me to help you. Our Prefecture Master is extremely passionate about war, and it is not likely anyone can change his mind...”
Fang Yuan shook his head.
”Indeed...”
Xie Lingyun shuddered and almost froze in the carriage. ”Would the accomplishments of the Xia Country be wasted?”
”Stop!”
Fang Yuan waved his hands. ”Why are you so desolate? Do you think that by gathering the forces around Xia Country, you cannot defeat Liu Yan?”
”So what if I can defeat him? The neighbouring Yuan and Wu Country are both watching out. Once our country is in a mess, they will send in their troops and destroy us...”
Xie Lingyun forced a laughter.
”They why not aid Liu Yan in breaking through the Elemental Breaking Realm bottleneck? If he can succeed, how would the neighbouring countries dare to offend us?”
Fang Yuan had some doubts but did not wait for Xie Lingyun to reply. ”That's true too... How can you all trust Liu Yan? This is not a long-term solution. If he continues to be greedy, it will be catastrophic! Therefore, all you are hoping for is for the situation to come under control.”
The higher the authority, the stronger the hope for those at the bottom to be settled and for the hierarchy to remain stagnant forever.
At this time, the 'Alpha' or 'Rebellions' would appear, but their resistance would not be strong.
Although Liu Yan was neither of those two, he was still a factor which attracted the attention of many. Unless there was a breakthrough, the outcome would still be feared.
