C113 Zhuge Yuan (1/2)
Hong Yun's eyes were filled with anger as he watched Fang Chen's leaving figure. Then, he turned his head and directly dove into the body tempering tower.
An hour later, Hong Yun came out of body tempering tower.
”Hmph, isn't it just the fourth layer?” Hong Yun coldly said. To him, entering the fourth floor of the body tempering tower was still very easy, but to enter the fifth floor was simply too difficult.
The disciples looked at Hong Yun and looked at each other.
After returning from the body tempering tower, Fang Chen was ready to cultivate. Suddenly, a shadow appeared beside him.
”Grand Elder.”
Seeing that, Fang Chen anxiously cupped his hands and shouted.
The Great Elder of the Primary zone was extremely good to Fang Chen, so Fang Chen was also extremely respectful to the Great Elder.
”Fang Chen, this time, I came to find you because I have something to tell you.” The Great Elder said.
”Please speak, Grand Elder.” Fang Chen said.
The Great Clan Elder glanced at Fang Chen, and then said: ”Fang Chen, in the future, you must pay attention to the Second and Third Elders.”
Hearing the Great Clan Elder's words, Fang Chen raised his eyebrows and did not say anything.
”The Long Jun you killed has a great deal to do with them, they will definitely think of a way to take revenge on you. I can protect you for a while, but I can't protect you for a lifetime, so everything still needs your attention.” The Great Elder said with a deep voice.
Hearing that, Fang Chen nodded his head in gratitude, and said: ”Thank you for the Great Clan Elder's reminder.”
”The reason I'm telling you this is to make you watch out for those two. Alright, I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first.” With that, the Great Elder turned and left.
As he watched the Great Elder's departing figure, Fang Chen's eyes were gradually filled with ice. In his heart, he thought to himself, ”If you all want to court death, then I don't mind causing you all to die a graveless death.”
With that, Fang Chen turned and left.
Three days later, a figure suddenly came into Fang Chen's courtyard.
”Fang Chen.” When the figure saw Fang Chen, he grinned and said.
Fang Chen stopped his cultivation and slowly opened his eyes, looking at the person who just arrived.
”Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhuge Yuan.” Zhuge Yuan said with a smile.
”Zhuge Yuan?” Fang Chen was slightly moved. He had obviously heard of Zhuge Yuan's name before.
In the Intermediate Area, although Zhuge Yuan was not as famous as the top ten disciples, his name resounded through the ears.
This was because Zhuge Yuan was ranked eleventh in the Intermediate Area and his strength was extremely powerful. His strength had already reached the late stage of the 6th level of Qi Transformation and it was unknown how many times stronger he was than Hong Yun.
Of course, some people believed that Zhuge Yuan already had the strength to enter the top ten. However, Zhuge Yuan didn't seem to care much about this ranking, so he didn't challenge the top ten.
Fang Chen could not understand why Zhuge Yuan would come to find him.
”I wonder why Senior Zhuge is looking for me?” Fang Chen asked.
”It's like this. I've accepted a quest and need at least five people to complete it. Thus, I've come to find you in hopes that you'll be able to complete this quest with me. Of course, the benefits cannot go without you.” Zhuge Yuan said with a smile.
Fang Chen was startled, then immediately stood up and asked: ”Senior Zhuge, within Intermediate Area, there are many that are stronger than me, why did you pick me?”
Hearing Fang Chen's rhetorical question, Zhuge Yuan grinned and said, ”Fang Chen, I have been secretly observing you for a long time. Not only do you possess a level 4 talent in the way of the sword, you are also extremely powerful.
”Furthermore, if my guess is correct, then it's likely that Yuwen Batian was killed by you after not returning for such a long time, right?” Without waiting for Fang Chen to speak, Zhuge Yuan spoke again.
Fang Chen squinted his eyes and looked at Zhuge Yuan. He did not expect Zhuge Yuan to actually pay attention to him in secret.
”I really wanted to kill Yuwen Batian, but unfortunately, he escaped.” Fang Chen spoke the truth.
The reason why he said that Fang Chen had killed Yuwen Batian was only Zhuge Yuan's guess. Now that he obtained confirmation from Fang Chen, although he did not kill Yuwen Batian, but was able to make him flee in a sorry state, it was enough to see just how strong Fang Chen was.
”Fang Chen, I need a disciple like you.” Zhuge Yuan said.
Afterwards, Zhuge Yuan started to explain to Fang Chen the details of the mission.
After hearing it, Fang Chen finally understood that Zhuge Yuan's mission this time was to explore an ancient ruin, the ancient ruin was located in a secluded place in the Milky Way County.
Normally, if Mission Hall released this kind of quest, they would be accepted by the disciples immediately. Although the mission was only to explore the ancient ruins, but inside the ancient ruins, they would definitely be able to get some treasures.
All of the disciples wanted to enter the ancient ruins and obtain the ultimate treasure.
Zhuge Yuan had accepted this mission not long ago, but unfortunately, he didn't have a suitable candidate and didn't immediately go.
This time, Zhuge Yuan finally had a suitable candidate and that was Fang Chen. As long as he convinced Fang Chen, the five-man team would be full, and they could set off at that time.
Of course, the reason why Zhuge Yuan chose Fang Chen was because Fang Chen's strength was tyrannical, and also because Fang Chen's strength was inferior to his, making him the absolute core of the team.
”Fang Chen, in comparison to this ancient remains, we will definitely attract some disciples from the ten great sects, so we won't be able to easily explore it. With your cultivation, you definitely won't be noticed by the disciples of the ten great sects, and at that time, you can be used as a Elite Armament.” Zhuge Yuan explained.
Fang Chen weighed the pros and cons before finally agreeing to Zhuge Yuan's request.
Firstly, it was because his cultivation had reached a bottleneck and he was temporarily unable to break through. Secondly, he might be able to find an opportunity in the ancient ruins.
