Sovereign of the Heaven - C261
The Martial Region Continent’s range was very wide, spanning across things would take at least a year, and Youzhou was located at the center of the Martial Region Continent. This trip to the Eastern Desolation would take at least half a year, of course, if one rode a demonic beast from one relay station to another, they would need at most three months.
Three months later, Di Chen and Jie Long arrived at Spirit State City, Spirit State City was also a large city in the Martial Region Continent, and was not any smaller than Spirit State City. In the past, Di Chen had participated in the Sky Realm Academy’s examination and met with a person called Fang Xin, who was one of the people responsible for Cao Rouer’s death.
This Spirit Province was also the closest city to Eastern Desolation, and further ahead would be a few small border towns, so Di Chen was prepared to replenish some of his pills.
“Is this Spirit State?” Di Chen stood at the entrance of Spirit State City. He had long heard of Spirit State City, but it was his first time here.
Di Chen looked at Jie Long and said: “You should be more familiar with this place than me. Bring me somewhere to replenish my consumed pills.”
Jie Long looked at Spirit State City with some hesitation, but still walked into the city after hesitating for a moment. It seemed that she was still afraid.
Spirit State City was filled with a sea of people, which was slightly different from Spirit State City. Most of the people here were from Eastern Desolation, so their clothes and customs were clearly different from Spirit State City.
Di Chen originally thought that his Martial Monarch Level was considered strong, but when he came to this place, he realized that every single one of them was a Martial Monarch Level.
The two of them walked for about an hour before they finally arrived in front of a shop. This shop was actually also a Shuiyue Workshop, and there was a Shuiyue Workshop in Youzhou City.
Di Chen and Jie Qian entered, all the items from Spirit State City’s Shuiyue Workshop were present, Di Chen had replenished some common healing pellets.
“Hmm?” Di Chen’s footsteps paused, and his gaze landed far off in the distance.
Jie Dai pulled at Di Chen’s face with a puzzled expression.
Di Chen said calmly: “I seem to have seen someone I recognized earlier, but he left too quickly, I didn’t manage to see it clearly.”
The person Di Chen saw was Yu Qianyi. Back then, when Di Chen had just broken through the Martial King Realm and met this person after entering the wizard tower, Di Chen had helped him win a battle, but the other party had left in too much of a hurry, so Di Chen did not see him clearly, he thought that it must not be such a coincidence. He did not think too much, and bought some ink and paper, then prepared to find an inn to rest for the night.
“Di Chen…” Just as he walked out of Shuiyue Workshop, Di Chen heard someone calling him.
This young man was dressed in white, his long hair was draped over his shoulders, and his face was filled with arrogance. Looking at him, it seemed like he was wearing Martial King Realm, and behind him were two middle-aged men.
Di Chen did not recognize the youth and asked with a frown: “Who are you?”
“I am Fang Hong.” The youth clenched his fist and said: “You may not know me, but you should know my big brother Fang Xin. You should be clear about how he died, right?”
“Fang Xin?” This name had existed for a long time, Di Chen thought for a long time before remembering who it was. Back then, when he killed Cao Rouer, it caused a feud between Di Chen and Cao Yuer.
“So it’s you,” Di Chen said calmly. “What do you want?”
Fang Hong said coldly: Back then, when my big brother entered the Sky Realm Academy to cultivate, he was the heir to the Fang family, and in the end, he died in your hands. It is just that you are not a citizen of Spirit State City, we originally thought that there was no hope for revenge, we did not expect that you would dare come here, this is good too, today I will take revenge for my big brother.
Thinking that it was because Fang Hong was too excited, he impulsively rushed towards Di Chen, regardless of whether he was stronger than him or not.
However, just as he was in front of Di Chen, his body stopped as he was trapped by an invisible force. He tried to struggle, but he could not.
“What did you do to me?” Fang Hong was surprised, he did not see Di Chen make a move at all.
Di Chen sneered, he was too lazy to care about him, he blocked Jie Wei and let Fang Hong go.
“You are not allowed to leave,” Fang Hong roared at the two people beside him, “Kill him for me.”
Upon hearing this, a person with Martial King on the left side immediately slapped his palm towards Di Chen, releasing a boundless elemental energy that wanted to kill Di Chen.
Di Chen immediately took out a piece of paper with the word “explode” written on it and threw it. The power of the scholar rushed inside, and just when the person was about to call, Di Chen instantly broke one of his arms, causing blood to gush out and flip over.
The other person took the chance and brandished his Spirit Sword and threw out a piece of paper. When the other person saw the piece of paper, he immediately retreated, but Di Chen did not detonate the piece of paper.
“What kind of cultivation technique is this?” The two of them were shocked, if the other party had truly intended to kill them earlier, they would have already been killed. They could clearly see that this fellow was only at the first stage of the Martial King, but he was actually so strong?
In fact, even though Di Chen had broken through the first stage of the Martial King, his formula’s power was already unable to keep up with this realm. Blast Character Formula was nothing to Martial Monarch Level people, and the reason why Di Chen seemed so strong when using the Blast Character Formula earlier was simply because these two people were too weak.
Fang Hong looked at Di Chen in disbelief and said: “You actually broke through the Martial King. Back then, you were together with my big brother when you were taking the examination for Sky Realm Academy.”
In Fang Hong’s opinion, even if Fang Xin was still alive, he would not be able to break through the Martial Monarch Level so quickly. And for Di Chen and Fang Xin, who had entered the Sky Realm Academy together, it was logically impossible to break through the Martial Monarch Level as well.
Di Chen said calmly: “That year, your elder brother was always my enemy, and I was only forced by him to kill him, but it has already been a long time since this has happened, and there is no enmity between us, I do not wish to hurt you, if you continue to pester me, do not blame me for being impolite.”
After saying that, Di Chen pulled Jie Wei and left.
How could Fang Hong be willing to give up? He roared at Di Chen’s back: “This is the Spirit Province, our Ling Family will not let you off. Di Chen, just wait for your death.”
Di Chen could not be bothered to care about Fang Hong, he pulled Jie Long and disappeared from Fang Hong’s sight, and after Di Chen left, Fang Hong regained his ability to move, immediately returning to the Fang family residence.
The Family Head had only just reached the Martial Ancestor Realm, he was far inferior to Ning Fu, but Ning Fu would definitely not appear here.
In the Fang family’s main hall.
“Father …” Fang Hong rushed into the hall, where a dozen or so people were currently seated. All of them were Fang Family elders, and some were from the Fang Family younger generation.
“What is this panic?” Fang Rentian berated.
Fang Hong anxiously said: “I saw my brother’s killer, he is currently in Spirit State City, and he just injured me.”
Hearing this, Fang Rentian immediately stood up, and said with narrowed eyes: “Back then Xin’er went to the Sky Realm Academy to cultivate, and later I received news that he was killed by a guy called Di Chen. Could it be that that person came here?”
“That’s right,” Fang Hong had a good relationship with Fang Xin, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and said: “I originally wanted to take revenge for big brother, but who would have thought that his cultivation had broken through Martial Monarch Level, and his cultivation was much stronger than mine.”
Fang Xin was the heir to the Fang family, and because he had died, the Fang family was unable to find another suitable successor. If Di Chen was not in Spirit State City, then it would be fine, but the Martial Region Continent was too big, he had no way to take revenge, but now that Di Chen had come, he would naturally not let him go.
“Fang Xue, go and capture him.” Fang Rentian looked at a woman around the age of twenty and said, “With your cultivation, it shouldn’t be difficult to capture him.”
This woman was dressed in a snow-white robe and her gaze was slightly cold. It gave off the feeling of an icy beauty with profound strength.
Fang Xue said calmly: “Uncle, don’t worry, I will definitely capture this Di Chen and bring him back.”
Fang Rentian looked at Fang Hong and said: “You go with Fang Xue.”
“Yes,” Fang Hong said before following him out.
Back then, the Fang family focused on, but after Fang Xin died, they changed it to Fang Xue. Luckily, although Fang Xue was a woman, her talent was not weak, and her current cultivation was not weak either.
Fang Xue did not immediately leave to find Di Chen, but instead went to another room. There was a woman cultivating in this room, if Di Chen was here, he would definitely be surprised, but that woman was Luo Yumeng.
Although Luo Yumeng had appeared in the Millennium City, in truth, she was born in Spirit State City. It was only because she accidentally obtained the Sect Leader’s badge, but her identity was exposed, and she was seriously injured.
“Yu Meng,” Fang Xue said as she saw Luo Yumeng’s rare smile. “Have you finished cultivating?”
Luo Yumeng spread open her hands to take a look, then laughed: “I have already broken through to the fourth level of the Martial King. It’s all thanks to you for this period of time, or else I would have definitely been killed by those people.”
Fang Xue chuckled: “We are friends, there’s no need to be so polite. Oh right, if you have nothing else, come with me for a bit, I have some things to do.”
Although Fang Xue’s personality was usually cold, she had become a little mischievous when facing Luo Yumeng. This was also because she was born in the Fang Family, the competition here was intense, and she had cultivated diligently since childhood. She could not pretend to be herself, and she could also show her true self in front of Luo Yumeng.
Luo Yumeng and Fang Xue had known each other for a long time and their relationship was very good. She curiously laughed: “What is it, do you need my help for?”
Fang Xue shook her head: “Actually it is not a big deal, when my brother went to the Sky Realm Academy to cultivate, he was killed by someone, and that person just happened to be in Spirit State, and just now he injured my family. Uncle told me to capture him, so he wanted you to accompany me there.”
“No problem,” Luo Yumeng smiled, then followed Fang Xin out.
The two of them brought Fang Hong and chased after Di Chen, but by then, Di Chen had already left Spirit State City, so catching up would not be easy.
Luo Yumeng still did not know that the one Fang Xue wanted to kill was Di Chen. Although she had enmity with Di Chen, in reality, it could be considered that she owed Di Chen a debt of gratitude.
