Chapter 210: The Infamous Little Devil of Jambu

Prev List Next

Although Ying s.h.i.+hou couldn"t move at all after being suppressed by the beast spirits, his tone was still extremely unyielding, "You… little brat…. To have the ability to own such a powerful weapon…. I admit my defeat, but I will never cooperate to let you steal my beast spirit. Even if my entire body is broken into pieces, I still wouldn"t allow the discipline of the Myriad Beasts to end here…."
Right now, Ying s.h.i.+hou was full of astonishment and fear. Just when had this boy formed his foundation? Things would have been fine if the boy had only broken through recently—a mere early-Foundation Stage was nothing to pay attention to—but… where in the world did he get such a powerful Ancient weapon for himself?

The technique pa.s.sed down from the Myriad Beasts Sect fused his own spirit with that of the beast"s, but that Flag of Ten Thousand Spirits happened to be able to control beast spirits using seals, allowing it to suppress such techniques. It could even be said that the flag was a direct counter….

Although Ying s.h.i.+hou had been restrained even during the first clash, he"d soon realized the flag seemed to have a beast spirit that couldn"t utilize its full battle prowess, so he thought he would still have a chance to win. More importantly, when he realized the flag could control several hundreds of beast spirits, he"d felt it would be incredibly valuable to the Myriad Beasts Sects and decided to take it for himself. The reason he hadn"t fled immediately after sensing danger was due to the pull of his greed.

If it had only been defending from the Flag of Ten Thousand Spirits, Ying s.h.i.+hou felt he still had a chance of winning. Who would have antic.i.p.ated that just as he was concentrating so fully on fending off the flag, he"d be smacked by the little brat from behind?

Such a powerful Ancient weapon, shouldn"t the boy have been focusing on controlling it? Why would he have enough extra strength to sneak attack him from the back? The sect master was puzzled by so many things the moment before he was smacked unconscious and captured. No matter what, though, he"d been captured by his enemy—there were now no other options but to fight to the very end.

The beast spirit of the Nine-Headed Lion was one of the three main spirit beasts pa.s.sed down through the generations of the Myriad Beasts Sect. It was only natural he was unwilling to easily hand it over to someone else.

"Oh, so you"ve got quite the backbone. Heh, you"re so mindful of this technique of your Myriad Beasts Sect? Do you think I won"t go back and finish off that other Foundation Stage old man, kill your daughter, take the lives of all your Myriad Beasts disciples, and wipe the entirety of your sect from the face of this world forever?" Fang Xing spoke such vicious threats as casually as strolling down a familiar path. "By then, let alone that little beast spirit of yours, what use would there be even if you had a hundred beast spirits?"

Ying s.h.i.+hou"s eyes gleamed with anger when he heard this. "You… you would dare do such a thing?"

"Do you not know who drew all over your daughter"s face?" Fang Xing indifferently replied.

Ying s.h.i.+hou was rendered speechless. Of course he knew what had happened, especially since his own daughter had suffered so much. When he thought of all the things this little brat had done, he immediately stopped doubting the boy"s viciousness, and he couldn"t help but to quiver in fear. Even though this brat was only in the early-Foundation Stage, he did indeed have the ability to destroy the entire Myriad Beasts Sect; with that flag in hand, was there anyone in the entire sect could stand up to him?

"You…in the end, what do you want?" Ying s.h.i.+hou"s voice trembled ever so slightly with traces of fear and frustration, making it sound nearly pleading.

Fang Xing laughed. "First, be good and hand me the spirit seal of this Nine-Headed Lion spirit; my Old Peng has taken a fancy to it, so it"l

l be ours. Secondly, how dare you case after me, you turtle egg of a b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You have to pay me a good amount of money in compensation! As for the third… oh, yes, I"ve got a stupid fat friend who seems to be in your Myriad Beasts Sect right now. You haven"t killed him yet, have you? Let me tell you this, he is under my protection!"

Ying s.h.i.+hou was left in a state of tearless grief. "No, I wouldn"t dare. The one you spoke of is called Yu Sanliang, right? This person mastered the spirit form of the Ganglie; he is the successor of one of the three main beast spirits of our Myriad Beasts, and his future accomplishments will undoubtedly be greater than mine. Besides, it has already been confirmed my daughter will join the Melodic Ice Palace, and two of my best pupils were already killed by you. Yu Sanliang has already become the next successor to my Myriad Beasts Sect…."

When Fang Xing heard this, he suddenly settled deep in thought.

Truthfully, what Ying s.h.i.+hou said wasn"t completely accurate. After Fang Xing had killed Chu Zhaoyang and Qi Heng, he suspected Yu Sanliang had been colluding with Fang Xing and so had him locked up. It was only because Yu Sanliang"s talent was truly extraordinary that Ying s.h.i.+hou hadn"t killed him just yet.

Now that he himself had fallen into Fang Xing"s hands, however, how would he dare speak such truth? He only mentioned Yu Sanliang was now the sole remaining person eligible to be the sect"s successor, hoping it would move the boy enough to spare his Nine-Headed Lion. Furthermore, he purposefully mentioned his daughter would soon join the Melodic Ice Palace in the hopes it would intimidate Fang Xing enough to keep his daughter safe from harm.

Ying s.h.i.+hou hadn"t expected that after hearing all of this, Fang Xing seemed to realize something and had fallen into deep thought. Ying s.h.i.+hou didn"t dare to disturb him and watched on in terror, waiting for the boy to make his decision.

After a long while, Fang Xing suddenly raised his head to look at Ying s.h.i.+hou. "You said your daughter will join the Melodic Ice Palace?"

A little surprised, Ying s.h.i.+hou quickly replied, "That is correct. The grand elder of Melodic Ice Palace—the venerable Hu Qin—suddenly decided to recruit a few more pupils, and it has already been confirmed that my daughter—Ying Qiaoqiao—will join under him…. Oh, and the reason Miss Ye—Ye Gu"yin—came to our Bohai Kingdom was to meet my daughter and bring her to the Melodic Ice Palace. Little… little esteemed senior, you wouldn"t want to intentionally begrudge the venerable Hu Qin, right?"

Fang Xing"s eyes instantly lit up before he refocused them on Ying s.h.i.+hou. "The venerable Hu Qin?"

The gaze from Fang Xing caused Ying s.h.i.+hou to s.h.i.+ver. "Please spare me, esteemed senior…."

Fang Xing slammed his palm against Ying s.h.i.+hou"s head and cursed, "Senior your uncle, I"m only a few years older than your daughter. If you want to lick my boots, calling me "Uncle Fang" would do; if you call me senior again, just watch me slap you…. Although, Sect Master, I suddenly feel a sense of admiration towards the discipline of your Myriad Beasts Sect. I wonder if you have any intention of recruiting a new disciple? Hahahahaha…."

Fang Xing"s laughter left Ying s.h.i.+hou even more terrified. "Any requested esteemed se— Uncle Fang has, please speak as you wish…" he whispered.

Fang Xing chuckled. "It"s nothing, really. I just wanted to join your Myriad Beasts Sect!"

These words didn"t surprise only Ying s.h.i.+hou; even that big old Peng King was left flabbergasted.

An hour later, Ying s.h.i.+hou returned to the beast city ruins with a gloomy expression while the sect disciples crowded around him. Elder Moye had to be carried over, and his broken face clearly revealed he"d taken that slap rather hard. A Foundation Stage elder and the second most powerful person in the Myriad Beasts Sect had to be carried around by others, and no one knew how long it would take for him to heal.

Ying s.h.i.+hou"s expression only became gloomier when he looked at Elder Moye. "That boy is really strong," he helplessly began. "I chased him for a good hour, but I still lost him…." Elder Moye was a little taken aback and wanted to say something, but Ying s.h.i.+hou cut him off, "Let"s help Miss Ye escape first!"

Since Elder Moye was injured, the Myriad Beasts" sect master personally commanded the formation without holding back on Spirit Stones. After three days had pa.s.sed, they were finally able to open the Yin Prison Abyss"s preset formations so Ye Gu"yin could escape.

The Ye Gu"yin that emerged, however, was a far cry from before. Where was that proud and arrogant chosen one from half a month ago? She was so wan and sallow, and she looked ahead in a daze without saying a word.

When the large group of Myriad Beasts disciples saw this, their expressions twisted into surprise and disbelief.

"Fairy Ye… how did she become like this?"

"That little devil, what did he— what did he do to Fairy Ye?"

The name "Fang Xing" steadily became known, and it was pushed into the limelight a mere few days later. Whether it was the Chufung Kingdom or Bohai Kingdom, rumors could be heard everywhere about the infamous little devil, Fang Xing.

The story about Fang Xing betraying the Qing-Yun Sect, murdering the genius Xiao Jianming, and then burning his sect"s mountain with a single torch of flame had already been quietly spreading around the area. Everyone who heard it had felt these things were nothing short of unbelievable.

How did a Spirit Stage disciple get such ability?

To betray their sect and commit murder? To burn the mountain and steal its treasure? How much guts would a person need to do such things? And after doing so much, how had he managed to escape alive?

The constraint of a soul lantern was integral to every sect disciple"s experience—whoever entered a sect would have to leave one behind. How had this boy managed to escape so lively and well under the soul lantern"s constraints?

As this wave of gossip rose up and was about to settle, another giant wave splashed ash.o.r.e carrying the news of Fang Xing and Ye Gu"yin.

Who was Ye Gu"yin?

Ye Gu"yin was the number one Spirit Stage genius within all of Chufung. She was someone who had always been in the spotlight, the perfect and pure G.o.ddess inside the hearts of all the younger generation of cultivators. Any information about her—no matter how small—would travel even faster than the news about Fang Xing"s betrayal and murder. For this reason, news of the incident involving Ye Gu"yin was like adding fuel to the fire, and he became known to nearly everyone within Chufung overnight.

"Did Fairy Ye really lose?"

"Heh, who do you think Fairy Ye is? Who would have the guts to say such things about her if it wasn"t verified?"

"Ai, such a pity. That prideful Fairy Ye has excellent innate ability, and with her cultivation, there is no one in Spirit Stage who can be her opponent! Even when facing off against the other two who had the same t.i.tle—Hou Guimen and Xiao Jianming—she managed to easily get the upper hand. The battles only ended in a draw because she didn"t want to show off and stopped. Now that she"s a half-step away from Foundation Stage, I thought she would break into the Foundation Stage with the reputation of being undefeated in Spirit Stage and would s.h.i.+ne brightly once again. Who would have imagined she"d lose at such a time?"

"Heh, if she had only lost, that would have been fine. Do you all know what that little devil is like? Apparently, during his time at the Qing-Yun Sect, he committed all sorts of atrocities while leaving behind women who admired him. A complete playboy like him, to be stuck inside that Yin Prison Abyss for half a month with Fairy Ye…. That is a full half-month! A man and a woman secluded in one place; what do you think he would do?"

"Oh wow…. Are you sure?"

"Heh, I don"t know if it"s true or not. I mean, we weren"t there to witness it. But apparently the sect master of the Myriad Beasts Sect and their Elder Moye entered the Yin Prison Abyss before coming out with their eyes covered. They weren"t in a hurry to come out either, and the first thing they did was order someone to send a few sets of robes inside first…. Heheheh, my dear fellow Daoists, you tell me what happened?"

"That little devil actually did… that to Fairy Ye? Outrageous!"

"That d.a.m.ned little devil, he behaves even worse than a livestock! If I ever meet him, I will cut him up into a million pieces!"

"Indeed, such a devil has to be eliminated. Just imagine how many female cultivators will experience such terror otherwise…."

In only a few short days, the name "Fang Xing" had spread across all of Chufung and the small countries surrounding it. His infamous name was known to everyone and everybody.
