ked at Fang Chen with a complex expression. Although the other was only a few years older than her, both his experience and insights were far superior to hers.Though one may possess natural talent, it..."As the master was dying, he entrusted me with taking care of his daughter. So I'd like to foster her for a while."
Fang Chen entrusted Shi Yi to take care of Tang Lian instead of Duan Mu Wu Xing. This way, at least Shi Yi's daughter would be safe, and it also seemed more realistic.
Dumu Jiu Xiu was taken aback. He thought the other party would try to raise the price, but it turned out to be a small matter after all.
"Alright, I'll take you back to your mansion." he said casually. He never cared about Shi Yi's daughter; she was just a pawn he held onto, preventing her from meeting her karmic end.
Now Shi Yi has no more use, so there is no need to continue protecting him.
Thank you, host.
Tang Lian expressed her gratitude and immediately left.
"Brother, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"To prevent any variables! If you do not submit to me, you must die!"
It wasn't long before word spread within the clan that Duanmu Wu-xing had gone to the front lines.
As for this, some from the Duanmu family did question it, but most chose to believe it. After all, Duanmu Wu Xing had always been like that, occasionally disappearing was perfectly normal.
As for those who questioned it, they were also left helpless. Besides, with the banquet approaching soon, they could only temporarily give up on investigating.
Fang Chen brought Duanmu Wuxing back to the tavern and arranged a room for him to recover.
Afterward, he also entered the room. As for Wang Jinfu, of course, he continued to inquire about news.
After returning to the room, Fang Chen summoned the Zhantian Ling.
But now the Heavenly Bell's light is somewhat dimmed, lacking its former brilliance.
This is because Fang Chen used it to block Xia Xian's fatal blow.
As for restoring it, it's also very simple. Just return to the Heavenly Spirit Realm and absorb the power of heaven and earth to recover.
It seems I'll have to make a trip to the Celestial Domain after all.
Fang Chen said, whether it's the crystal flesh or the recovery of the Heavenly Bell, he must return to this spirit realm.
The following time was peaceful. In order to prevent Duanmu Jiuxiu from suspecting anything, Duanmu Bai Xue didn't come again. Both sides communicated through sound transmission talismans.
While Wulong City grew hotter by the day, it was because Lingxi Sect's approach to the Duanmu clan was getting closer.
As for this matter, public opinion is divided into two factions. One faction believes it to be a great humiliation. After all, Duanmu Bai Xue is renowned throughout Tiannan as a peerless beauty with exceptional talent.
Such a prodigious talent would actually travel to a distant land. What's the difference between this and sending prodigies away from humanity
After all, with one more such prodigy, there is one more hope of entering the realm of enlightenment.
However, this kind of voice is only a minority, and many of them are the voices of Duanmu Bai Xue's pursuers.
> More people support this, after all, if this succeeds, it's an alliance with the Lingxi Sect!
Then, with an additional cultivator at the Divine Insight Realm joining the human race, the chance of stepping into the peak realm would be significantly greater.
Crash! bang!
Crash! Bang!
Today! The city of Walong is bustling with excitement! As the city gates opened, firecrackers exploded, and the whole city celebrated together!
Because today is the auspicious day when Lingxi Sect takes away Duanmu Bai Xue!
The Duanmu family held a grand banquet, inviting guests from all walks of life to attend this magnificent feast.
The entire Duanmu mansion was in an uproar.
"Lord Tianxi! Lord Xi City is here!"
"A celestial being among the clouds! A drop of cloud, a fairy descends!"
"The Moon's Departed Sect! Master Wang has arrived!"
"The Nine Stars of Heaven, nine great figures arrive!"
All who come are prominent figures from various powerful factions, all of whom have a close relationship with the Duanmu family and collaborate closely.
And their arrival also caused a stir of exclamations, these were top figures that you couldn't even see on a daily basis! Today, it's eye-opening to see them all together!
"Wow! These are all top-tier forces from the Tiannan Region! They're actually attending the Duanmu family banquet!"
"Nonsense! The Dumus family is a top clan in Tiannan Domain, it would be their honor to participate!"
"That's right, but this time I wonder if anyone from the top-tier forces will come.
"
This is probably a guess, after all, this matter is still somewhat embarrassing. These forces pay great attention to face, how could they come
It is also.
General nods of agreement.
"Yun Family! Young Master Twelve! December Shadow is here!"
Just as they thought this, a voice suddenly rang out.
As soon as the sound came out, the crowd who had been discussing animatedly fell silent.
Suddenly, a warship appeared high in the sky!
The moment this ship appeared, heaven and earth dimmed. The spirit ships and beast ships of the remaining Zhou Dynasty clans seemed insignificant in comparison.
And the cloud banner on the spirit boat was even more dazzling, making people unable to look directly at it!
This is precisely the top-tier family of Tiannan Region! The Yun Family!
The Yun family has a powerful figure at the God-Awakening Realm guarding them!
A hush fell over the crowd as they all looked up at the spirit ship in the sky.
And atop the prow of the spirit vessel stood a young man, clad in golden armor, with ash-grey hair and an exceedingly handsome countenance. He was powerfully built, resembling a youthful general! It inspires awe!
He is none other than Yun Family's twelfth son, December Shadow.
Meanwhile, several streaks of light shot out from the Dumumu mansion and appeared before December Shadow, among them was Dumumu Jiu Xiu.
He bowed slightly to December Shadow, a smile on his lips. "I didn't expect the Yun family to send such a capable nephew. I should have gone to the city gate to greet him. It was an oversight."
December Ying smiled and clasped his hands, politely saying: "Uncle, you're jesting. There's no such thing as elders welcoming juniors. Being able to attend the Duanmu family's banquet is an honor for me.
"
My father couldn't come because he had to stand guard, but he told me to be sure and give you his best wishes.
"Haha! Your presence alone already honors the Duanmu family. Come, nephew, enter the mansion! We'll dine together tonight and celebrate with some good drink!"
"Definitely, definitely
"
In December, Yinglian nodded and, together with Duanmu Jiuxiu, entered the Duanmu residence.
For two people to walk side by side, no one felt it was inappropriate.
Although the Duanmu and Yun families are both top-tier families, there are still levels among top-tier families.
The Yun family, with the presence of a cultivator in the Transcendence Realm, naturally stood at the pinnacle. Families like the Duanmu clan, whose existence was uncertain, and whose cultivation path was the inferior Deduction Dao, could only be considered middling at best.
This is also why Duanmu Jiu Xiu was so happy, because the Yun family's arrival was equivalent to standing on his side.
After all, the Yun family is now under his control. After this incident, when the old master passes away, no one will be able to shake his position! How could he not be pleased
And when Duanmu Jiu Xiu and Shiyue Yun went in together, everyone outside witnessing this was like a pot exploding!
"My God! The Yun family Is it the top-tier Yun family"
Besides the Yun family, which other family could be so important to the head of the Duanmu clan
"Yun family actually sent someone! And it's even the young master who ranks in the top of the month! December Ying!"
"It's said he's the youngest disciple personally taught by Yun Jia, only eighteen years old and already at the third level of the Grandmaster realm! He's been honing his skills on the battlefield before. I never expected it to be him!"
"Is this the Yun family declaring their stance and supporting the Duanmu family"g with a deafening roar!But the golden egg and golden seal erupted with light! It actually blocked the heavenly thunder! At the same time, some of the thunder's power was absorbed by it!Fang Chen was...
