Immortal of the Nine Realms-Chapter 979: True Demon

A cold gleam flashed in Fang Chen's eyes as he coldly stared at Huang Chan.

He sent Fairy Yu to the Chaotic Star?

"The favor you owe me has been repaid. Don't ask unnecessary questions. Just remember, she is now my disciple. Perhaps before long, she will achieve true immortality in the Mortal Realm," said Wang Chongsong with a faint smile.

"You... are still tangled up with this matter..." Huang Chan's expression was complex. "The Nine Realms in the Mortal World are completely different from the Immortal Realm. As long as you don't enter the Immortal Realm, there is no way to achieve true immortality."

"If she cannot become a true immortal, then she will become a true demon." Wang Chong Song smiled. "The path in this world is not limited to that of a Loose Immortal. The gates of the Immortal Realm are closed; can we not open a new path for ourselves?"

Huang Chan said coldly, "Your idea is too dangerous, and your method even more so. On the surface, she is your disciple, but in reality... you just want her to take the first step to verify your hypothesis."

After speaking, he waved his hand. "Forget it. With your background, even if you act recklessly, your life isn't in danger. But I am different. I have been careful and cautious, crawling and fighting my way up to this point. I cannot risk it with you. I will take my leave now. That second-grade pill... do take care of it."

After saying that, Huang Chan's body suddenly began to shrink dramatically. His bones and flesh condensed, eventually transforming into a small, shriveled yellow toad the size of a palm.

Wang Chongsong stepped forward, and with a sharp "bang," the toad's desiccated corpse turned to dust. He then turned and returned to the meditation room.

Fang Chen followed him into the room and saw that Wang Chongsong was sitting quietly in cultivation. After observing for a while, Fang Chen turned and left.

At that moment, someone's voice came from outside his cave-dwelling. It belonged to the sword cultivator from earlier, the one at the Soul Splitting Realm.

He said, "Sword Leader Fang, Senior Brother Bai said earlier that if we are dissatisfied, we can come find you for a sword duel."

Fang Chen activated his Primordial Immortal Eyes. It was unknown when, but a number of sword cultivators had gathered outside the cave.

Fang Chen frowned and extended his hand, making a tapping motion.

The Soul Splitting Realm sword cultivator felt a breeze pass by and then sensed warm liquid dripping down his forehead.

He raised his hand to touch it and found that it was blood.

Everyone stood stunned.

They didn't even see any movement, but a sword mark suddenly appeared on their senior brother's forehead.

The Soul Splitting Realm cultivator wiped the blood from his forehead and remarked, "As expected of Sword Leader Fang."

With that, he turned to leave.

The others also departed one after another, their expressions peculiar.

Fang Chen was only at the Enlightenment Realm yet he could effortlessly and imperceptibly injure a Soul Splitting Realm cultivator.The sword intent he had comprehended was likely far beyond their imagination.

In the underworld, on the vast Yellow Spring Road, all wandering spirits were heading toward the Forgotten River, except for one figure moving against the flow.

Exiting the Yellow Spring Read, Fang Chen found himself in a forest filled with towering ancient trees, brimming with an extremely rich wood elemental energy.

"Everyone, have you heard about the incident involving Sun Yi from the Sun family some time ago?"

"I've heard a bit. I heard he had one of his split souls destroyed in some rural area."

"The Sun family is furious, clamoring to avenge him for this humiliation."

"What does that have to do with us? Don't forget our status. If the Sun family finds out we're discussing this, we might face punishment."

"What's there to fear? This Sky Eye Forest is our Long family's territory. Outsiders wouldn't dare to enter without permission. I heard that Sun Yi died in a very humiliating way—he was spanked to death."

"Is that true?"

"Haha, the news has already spread within the Great Sun Sect. Several Soul Splitting Realm cultivators went there, and all of them lost one of their split souls. The first two who died were lucky; they didn't suffer such humiliation. But the ones after... they ended up just like Sun Yi."

"That's quite amusing. I never thought these noble descendants of such high status would encounter such unfortunate events. Hahaha!"

"Everyone... there's someone here."

Their laughter immediately ceased as they looked at Fang Chen with uncertainty.

This group consisted of about eight or nine people, all of whom were at the Enlightenment Realm. They faintly exuded a sharp sword intent.

Naturally, they were all sword cultivators.

"Who are you?" the sword cultivator in front asked with a grave expression, unable to discern Fang Chen's identity.

Fang Chen clasped his fist and smiled. "I happened to pass by this place and was just about to ask for directions. Do you know where the nearest resting spot is?"

The leading sword cultivator realized that Fang Chen was not a guest of the Long family, causing him to frown. "The nearest resting spot? The Sky Eye Forest is not a place for the likes of you. Today, a prominent figure from the Long family is here for a leisurely outing. You should leave quickly!"

"Boss, it seemed like he was eavesdropping on our conversation just now."

"What if he goes out and spreads rumors?"

Several sword cultivators casually took a few steps, effectively surrounding Fang Chen and blocking his escape route.

"I have no grievances with any of you, so why would I spread rumors to slander you? I'll take my leave now," said Fang Chen with a smile, clasping his fist again before turning to leave.

The sword cultivators were initially reluctant to let him go, but seeing that their leader remained silent, they ultimately took no action.

"Boss, are we really just letting him go like that? What if he is somehow affiliated with the Sun family and tells them we were mocking Sun Yi behind their backs? Wouldn't that bring trouble upon us?"

The leading sword cultivator waved his hand dismissively. "The Sun family is one of the four great clans. What are the chances that a random passerby has any connection to them? This person seemed calm and composed. Even when he sensed our intent to take action, there wasn't a trace of fear in his eyes. He must have some backing. It's best not to stir up trouble today."

Afterward, they scouted the area within a radius of several dozen miles. Finding no signs of danger, they finally returned to an open valley.

Surrounding the valley were countless sword cultivators, many of whom were at the mid Soul Splitting Realm just like them.

Fang Chen's primordial soul stood in the void, quietly observing the scene within the valley.

On the periphery were hundreds of Enlightenment Realm sword cultivators, but that was merely the surface. In the center of the valley stood several noble youths of significant status, both male and female.

Quite a few sword cultivators were standing beside them. They were all middle three realm cultivators. Each one was a Dao Union Realm expert, radiating a faint, almost imperceptible sword intent.

A young man spoke up. "Long Xuan, regarding the bet between your family and the Sun family, I heard that your father made a military pledge to your grandfather. If you lose, your mother's control over the nine cities will be handed over to the second branch?"

As a young man brought up this matter, the gazes of several young men and women turned toward a woman.

Fang Chen was quite surprised upon seeing the woman.

This woman looked vaguely similar to Li Changsheng.

Could he have stumbled upon Li Changsheng's daughter upon arriving at the Prison Wind Land? What a coincidence if that were the case.

"That's right." Long Xuan nodded. "This is indeed the case."

Everyone shook their heads and sighed.

"Sigh. Your mother is really foolish."

"These are nine cities. How many high and peak grade spirit stones does that bring in each year? They might even have an exceptional year every ten or so years and earn an Immortal Crystal!"

Long Xuan smiled slightly. "My mother trusts my father. This time, the Long family will not lose to the Sun family."
