Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 132: The Shocked Xia Song

While Fang Chen didnt find the martial artists who had been raising a storm during his trip to Carefree Palace, it did alert him to the existence of the Enlightenment Heaven Supreme. The other party was likely to be a powerful cultivator far above him now.

That should mean to say that the other countries worshiping the Enlightenment Heaven Supreme are steadily providing incense energy to him. The other immortals worshiped by the other countries are likely real cultivators walking down a similar road too.

Abbess Clearlotus and Li Daoye appear to be unaware of this matter, so its unlikely that their sects know about it too. Clearly, this is quite a discreet path. I wouldnt have found it either if not for my ability to astral project.

Fang Chen couldnt help but think that the path to immortality was filled with all sorts of wonders and bizarreness. Cultivators possessed all kinds of different means. Had he not stepped onto this path himself, he would have never found out about them in his lifetime.

Li Daoye might be a cultivator too, but he definitely didnt know that cultivators could cultivate through the power of incense too. In a way, this made him no different from mortals.

Young master, should we put the Carefree Palace on arrest warrant? Jue Panshi asked.

Theres no need for that. Fang Chen shook his head. Accompany me to the other commanderies. Well focus on stabilizing the southern region for now. By then, the Carefree Palace wont be able to stir anything even if it wanted to.

For the next half a month, Fang Chen, Jue Panshi, and the others made their way to many different locations.

They would be welcomed by the respective commandery chiefs when they arrived at a new place, and there would always be people imprisoned or executed when they left. It felt almost as if they were harbingers of chaos.

Commandery Chief Lis death served as a warning.

Fang Chen didnt make a move on the other commandery chiefs lest it cause greater instability. Even so, the other commandery chiefs fell in line when they saw the example being made of Commandery Chief Li. It also helped that Fang Chen would clip their wings to limit their powers whenever he visited a place.

There were people who tried to meddle with his plans, but all of them quickly backed down upon seeing his means.

Many thought that Fang Chen would face great impediments, but in just half a month, he had already purged the southern region several times over.

Jue Panshi and the others had accompanied Fang Chen throughout the duration and personally witnessed the transformation, but his means only looked ever more unfathomable to them.

Fang Chen hadnt slacked off on his cultivation either. He used up the talisman papers and cinnabar he had brought with him, accumulating another huge stack of talismans. His spirit ki capacity significantly grew as a result.

He wasnt far from manifesting his sixth immortal vein.

Meanwhile, near the spirit spring, a majestic manor suddenly appeared out of nowhere within a short period of time. It was humongous, and there was even a bluestone road linking the manor to the main road.

By the bluestone road was the spirit spring.

The Fang Manor chose not to monopolize the spirit spring. Nearby civilians, tourists, and wild beasts were still able to access the spring. In fact, it was even more convenient for them to do so now due to the bluestone path.

The Fang Clan is going to be here for the long term

Xia Song and his siblings were heading to the Fang Manor on horseback when they saw the beautiful bluestone paved road, as well as the massive manors that were still visible from a long distance away. This brought a conflicted look on their faces.

Big brother, I heard that Imperial Duke Fang has traveled across the Nine Commanderies and stained his hand with a lot of fresh blood. He has at least sentenced 300 officials and martial artists to death!

Thats why our father told us to get closer to the Fang Manor. The truth is that the southern region no longer belongs to our Auspicious King Manor anymore, Xia Song replied with a sigh.

The group of them chatted while making their way to the Fang Manor.

When they passed by the spirit spring, they alighted from their horses and had their fill of its refreshing, chilled water. It revitalized them.

Big brother, why do you think the Fang Clan chose to build their manor here? I heard there are many wild beasts here, and there are even a few faes

Could it be because of this cold spring?

Surely not. Xia Song shook his head. This spring water might be sweet and refreshing, but thats not enough of a reason for the Fang Clan to move here. That being said, the climate here is indeed cooler, so that might have been what caught the Fang Clans eye. As for the beasts and rumored faes the Fang Clan should have their means to deal with them.

The youngest daughter of the Auspicious King was cleaning her face when she suddenly saw a reflection in the spring waterit was a massive wolf!

The massive wolfs sinister green eyes were fixed on her, causing her to screech in fright. She even lost her footing and fell into the water.

That alarmed Xia Song and the others. They quickly turned their heads over, only to gasp when they saw the massive wolf too.

The massive wolf growled before charging at them. That terrified the horses under them, and they shook them off their backs and ran off on their own.

Save our Sixth Sister! Ill hold it off! Xia Song roared as he brandished his sword at the massive wolf.

Meanwhile, the others quickly rescued their Sixth Sister from the water.

By the time they dragged their Sixth Sister out, Xia Songs body was already covered with injuries, and his sword was bitten apart too.

Even our big brother, a mid Ki Explosion martial artist, isnt a match for the wolf. Could it be one of the faes residing in the mountain? The other siblings were horrified.

Xia Song fell on his bum.

The massive wolf stared down on him from above. Just as it was about to munch down on him, a tigers roar echoed throughout the entire mountain.

Without warning, an even larger tiger lurched forth and tackled the massive wolf. This tiger had a white circle of fur reminiscent of flames around its neck.

Kacha!

The massive wolf didnt have time to react before the tiger chomped off its neck. All that was left in its eerie green eyes was fear.

After killing the massive wolf, the tiger calmly looked at Xia Song and the others.

W-what a huge tiger!

Xia Song and his siblings were so frightened that their bodies had completely stiffened up, rendering them incapable of moving.

Please dont kill my siblings! Eat me if you must! Xia Song cried with a pale face, knowing that it wouldnt stand a chance against the tiger at all.

Who are you? Great Mountain Tiger wont eat you.

Fang Zhixue suddenly flitted out of nowhere and leaped onto the tigers back. She gazed down on Xia Song and the others from above.

This Xia Song and the others were stunned.

Great Mountain Tigers lips crept up when it saw the shocked looks on the peoples face. It turned around and nuzzled against Fang Zhixue. This was its masters younger sister, after all, making her its Senior Aunt!

M-miss, you are? Xia Song fumbled to his feet and looked at Fang Zhixue with uncertain eyes.

I asked the question first. You havent told me who you are yet. Fang Zhixue frowned.

Ah, ah! Xia Song quickly regained his bearing and clapped his fist. I am Xia Song from the Auspicious King Manor. These are my younger siblings.

So youre from the Auspicious King Manor! Fang Zhixue smiled. I am Fang Zhixue, Fang Chens little sister.

Fang Chens little sister, Fang Zhixue?!

Xia Song and his siblings first looked at Fang Zhixue, followed by Great Mountain Tiger, and it suddenly dawned on them why the Fang Manor chose to settle here.

The Fang Clan has already tamed the faes here!
