449 The Encounter (1/2)

”What... What's happening?”

Fang Yuan crossed his legs and sat on the ground. After regulating his breath for a moment, he noticed a streak of fire rushing towards him from the horizon. Xing Hezi's silhouette slowly appeared.

As soon as he found Fang Yuan, he waved his whisk. The power of the arena started to spread out. Darkness covered the skies and stars started to appear. ”Do you have any explanation for this?”

”This person is spying on me and is trying to harm me. Therefore, I killed him! This is my explanation!”

Fang Yuan flew up into mid-air and snickered.

”Are you trying to oppose the Hidden Cultivators Sect?”

Xing Hezi glared at Fang Yuan.

”What do I have to gain if I oppose the Hidden Cultivators Sect? I am still supportive of Operation Grabstar.”

Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders. ”All of this is because of the personal feud I have with the Thousand Rock Lord!”

After retrieving the Thousand Rock Lord's memories, Fang Yuan was enlightened about the existence of the Spiritual Realm. To the powerful beings of this realm, this was no secret.

Furthermore, those powerful beings who were able to attain the Divine Refining Grade were extremely rare. Most of them had, in one way or another, felt the will of the Spiritual Realm and might have even received assistance.

Even Fang Yuan had to fear if he were to go against such a powerful organisation.

”Personal feud?”

Xing Hezi was suspicious of Fang Yuan's excuse. However, his expression changed and the glitter from the stars around started to dim.

”That's right... I have discovered a shocking secret as well! This Thousand Rock Lord had another identity exactly one thousand years ago, and that is the Bloodied Demon!”

Fang Yuan's face was filled with a sense of justice. ”This person has caused trouble then and is looking to create trouble now. I have killed him and he deserves it!”

With the Thousand Rock Lord's memories, it was extremely simple for Fang Yuan to accuse him of anything. Whatever Fang Yuan said would surely be the facts.

”Tsk... It's him!”

Xing Hezi appeared shocked and bowed towards Fang Yuan. ”This Bloodied Demon has once wiped out 13 families and sacrificed hundreds of innocent citizens. Never would I have thought that he would become the Thousand Rock Lord. Brother, for helping us kill him, you will surely gain good karma!”

”It's nothing much...”

Fang Yuan acted humble but inside, he was chuckling.

How would the powerful beings of the Hidden Cultivators Sect not know about the Thousand Rock Lord's true identity?

Since they were all powerful beings, they would know that his lifespan would slowly decrease and he would soon lose all his spiritual energy. Therefore, they did not care much about him.

This was why Fang Yuan could bring this matter up in order to explain for his own actions.

To speak the truth, no matter how important Thousand Rock Lord was in the past, he was but a dead person now.

Would anyone be so dumb as to offend Fang Yuan, this Divine Refining Grade cultivator over a dead person? Hehe... Fang Yuan was, after all, a person who had just killed another Divine Refining Grade cultivator and himself, unharmed! Would Xing Hezi think of becoming the next to be killed under Fang Yuan's hands?

Xing Hezi had no thoughts of offending Fang Yuan. Instead, he agreed to everything Fang Yuan said and started to criticize everything the Thousand Rock Lord did in the past.

”Brother Xing Hezi, don't worry! The damage to the array due to the death of Thousand Rock Lord will be rectified by me!”

There were no more problems as soon as Fang Yuan made this promise.

Both of them were on good terms before taking their leaves. However, their thoughts were entirely different from their attitude towards each other.

”Sigh... this is pitiful...”

Fang Yuan stood in mid-air, gazed at the blue sky and sighed.

Because of the traits of Planet Earth Realm, 99% of the powerful beings in the realm were ruthless and were ready to bring in a higher-tiered realm to coincide with their own realm without considering their own realm's will.

Planet Earth Realm's will must have felt so helpless, right?

To Fang Yuan, regardless whether the wills were strict or composed, they were all too predictable.

To an epiphanic realm, the will would surely be offended and would conjure lightning strikes to deal with these delinquents. Even if it was not able to destroy these rebels, it would still be able to keep them under control and warn anyone else who would harbour the same intentions of going against the realm.

However, Fang Yuan felt that Planet Earth's will was helpless, even more helpless than the will of Da Qian.

”It seems that the will of Planet Earth is stubborn... the powerful beings in the realm will not be dealt with if they do not explicitly display their intentions to oppose the will of the realm, and that is bad news for the realm... When they rebel and escape, I'm afraid it will be too late. What a pity...”

With a heavy heart, Fang Yuan returned to Huiming City and went to meet up with Xi Menjian.

”How's it?”

Xi Menjian wore a mysterious outfit of a servant and only came out to meet Fang Yuan at night.

As soon as he saw Fang Yuan, he became increasingly nervous.

He was still the weakest among all of them, to the extent where Xing Hezi would not even care about him. It could also be the fact that Xing Hezi was keeping him alive on Fang Yuan's behalf. Otherwise, he would not even be able to survive until now.

”I have visited most parts of Chinese Country. Life is scarce everywhere!”

Fang Yuan arrived at a secret room and sighed. ”I have also looked into the various shelters within the array. Most of them are built for a defensive purpose and most of them are adapted a little. Therefore, it should not be built to destroy the city!”

Fang Yuan did not speak the entire truth.

”Is that so? Then that's good...”
