Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1287: Young and Reckless?

Mao Zhen’s Thread Condensation Sound Transmission Technique was undetectable to other martial artists, but Fang Bai’s Divine Sense was not deceived.

Fang Bai’s Divine Sense, like the wind and flowing water, pervaded everywhere, easily intercepting Mao Zhen’s sound transmission and learning of his intentions.

The Tianji Sect disciples that Mao Zhen had sent away were either gathering nearby sect members or hiding around, ready to assassinate Fang Bai the moment he was out of Wu Tongtian and the others’ sight.

In Mao Zhen’s eyes, Fang Bai, who possessed an Innate Spiritual Root, would have boundless achievements in Martial Dao in the future. Since the Tianji Sect had already become mortal enemies with him, Fang Bai’s existence was a significant hidden threat. If they did not eliminate him early, the troubles would be endless.

Originally, Mao Zhen thought that with his own strength, killing Fang Bai would be easy, but Wu Tongtian and the others’ interference thwarted his plans, leaving him furious and helpless.

What Mao Zhen was most concerned about was that once Fang Bai joined Wu Tongtian and the others in the Martial Artists Alliance and received their protection, it would be much more difficult for him to kill Fang Bai.

Seeing Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu leaving and Wu Tongtian and others catching up to continue persuading them, Mao Zhen stood still with clenched fists, his face grim as he watched the situation there, growing involuntarily nervous.

Although Mao Zhen did not want to see Fang Bai join any Martial Artists Alliance, he knew it was somewhat unlikely, thinking that both Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu were loose cultivators who presumably came for the Essence Stone Vein. If they didn’t join one of the alliances, it would be somewhat foolish.

Even for a loose cultivator like Wu Tongtian, a high-rank Universe Level powerhouse, not joining any Martial Artists Alliance and choosing to fight alone would mean having no chance of gaining any benefits from the scramble for the Essence Stone Vein—and could even result in being jointly killed by martial artists from other alliances.

"That kid... he actually refused Wu Tongtian and their recruitment? How is that possible?"

Mao Zhen, who had been closely watching Fang Bai’s movements, suddenly heard Fang Bai say to Wu Tongtian and others, "I’m not interested." Then he saw Fang Bai take the hand of his female companion and walk past Wu Tongtian and the rest, leaving Mao Zhen dumbfounded, followed by a surge of excitement.

Mao Zhen had never expected Fang Bai to actually refuse Wu Tongtian and the others’ recruitment, and moreover so decisively, as if he did not care at all about potentially angering them.

"Has the kid gone mad? Hehe, good that he refused! Without anyone to protect him, even nine lives wouldn’t be enough for him!"

Mao Zhen’s fists tightened again, and he waited until Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu had walked far enough before slowly following them.

Mao Zhen felt that if he tried to attack Fang Bai himself again at this moment, Wu Tongtian and others might not continue to protect Fang Bai, but just in case, he decided to wait until they were out of sight before making a move.

"He actually refused our invitation?"

"Such arrogance indeed!"

"Is this the folly of youth?"

"That old geezer Mao Zhen is following them, that kid might be in mortal danger!"

"It would be such a pity for two such young possessors of Innate Spiritual Roots to fall into Mao Zhen’s hands!"

"Ungrateful, not worrying about his life or death anymore!"

...

Fang Bai’s refusal had indeed surprised Wu Tongtian and the others, leading to expressions of regret, disappointment, and annoyance.

Because of Fang Bai’s refusal, out of the five Martial Artists Alliances that initially wanted to protect and recruit Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu, four decided to no longer concern themselves with Fang Bai’s fate.

Only Wu Tongtian, the Alliance Leader of the Eight Desolations Alliance, truly cherished talent and couldn’t bear to give up just like that. He figured that if he helped Fang Bai withstand Mao Zhen once again, with Fang Bai’s gratitude, there was still the possibility of him and his female companion joining the Eight Desolations Alliance.

"You few, follow me!"

Wu Tongtian called upon four strong members of the Eight Desolations Alliance with slightly lesser strength than himself to tail Mao Zhen.

With Wu Tongtian’s strength, even if he couldn’t defeat Mao Zhen, he had more than enough ability to prevent him from injuring Fang Bai. The reason he brought along four strong members of the alliance was just to be safe.

The four strong members that Wu Tongtian brought along, two were Universe Level middle-rank warriors, and two were Universe Level lower-rank warriors. With their combined efforts, even if Mao Zhen had other support, they would not be afraid.

Mao Zhen secretly tracking his own position, with Wu Tongtian bringing people to follow Mao Zhen; all of these scenes were within the envelopment of Fang Bai’s Divine Sense.

Towards Mao Zhen, Fang Bai already harbored murderous intent and wouldn’t let him go.

As for Wu Tongtian, Fang Bai could see that he was sincerely trying to help him.

Fang Bai was never stingy toward those who were kind-hearted and friendly to him; he almost instantly decided to give Wu Tongtian an opportunity in this struggle for the Essence Stone Vein, as a way to let good deeds be rewarded.

The location where tens of thousands of Martial Artists Alliance had gathered, and the entrance of the Essence Stone Mine guarded by nearly ten thousand elite disciples of Golden Crow Manor, was separated by several miles of wilderness, serving as a buffer zone between the stand-off parties.

Once a warrior from one side entered this buffer zone, the other side would also send a warrior to intercept.

When Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu came to the edge of the buffer zone belonging to the Martial Artists Alliance side, Mao Zhen launched another attack on Fang Bai, but as expected, he was again blocked by Wu Tongtian.

Mao Zhen, in a fit of rage, engaged in a great battle with Wu Tongtian. However, as their strengths were matched, they couldn’t determine a victor in a short time.

"Fang Bai, what are you trying to do? Those are all disciples of Golden Crow Manor on the other side; don’t go over there! Otherwise, be careful with your life!"

Seeing that Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu did not stop but continued to walk forward, entering the buffer zone, Wu Tongtian thought they intended to make a move on the Essence Stone Mine entrance guarded by the elite disciples of Golden Crow Manor. He urgently warned them loudly.

During this period of confrontation at the edge of the Eternal Death Zone, there had been several conflicts between the two sides’ warriors, with casualties on both sides. Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu’s rash crossing would surely lead to sniper attacks by the Golden Crow Manor disciples, and it was likely that Fang Bai and his company would not escape unscathed. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Wu Tongtian didn’t want to see Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu fall victim to a senseless death. He intended to pull them back but was tightly entangled by Mao Zhen.

"If I could use the hands of the Golden Crow Manor disciples to get rid of Fang Bai, that would be perfect! Haha, Wu Tongtian, you want to recruit Fang Bai and his partner, but I’m afraid your wishful thinking is going to fail!"

Mao Zhen laughed triumphantly, as the gloominess that clouded his heart just moments before was now swept away, feeling indescribably refreshed.

As he spoke, his attacks became fiercer, leaving Wu Tongtian no room to watch over Fang Bai and his partner, requiring his full attention to respond.

The numerous warriors of the Martial Artists Alliance watched, wide-eyed, as Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu ventured deeper into the buffer zone; some sighed in pity, others indulged in schadenfreude, but no one dared to risk starting a fight with the Golden Crow Manor disciples by rushing over to stop them.

"If those people knew we were in cahoots with Golden Crow Manor, I wonder what their feelings would be!"

Fang Bai said with a chuckle to Xia Chenyu as they walked.
