Chapter 998 Chief Assistant

 

Additionally, the existence of the Shenyinhui is a bit strange.

Top experts joining forces to find the path to immortality?

It sounds fine, but when you think about it carefully… it’s very odd.

In the end, cultivation can only rely on oneself.

On today’s Earth, even if there’s a chance to become immortal, the spots must be limited.

Since Master Xiu said the people in Shenyinhui all have a chance to become immortal, then when the time comes, who gets this opportunity? Or is it based on individual ability?

If it’s based on individual ability, what’s the point of coming together?

Therefore, Fang Yu can speculate that regardless of how many people are in Shenyinhui, these people must all have their own hidden agendas and cannot be true friends.

Inviting Fang Yu to join Shenyinhui is nothing more than eliminating one competitor.

“They even warned me not to enter the ancient ruins, truly treating the ancient ruins as their exclusive property.” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking.

He indeed didn’t know when the ancient ruins would open.

But he could calculate the location of each ancient ruin entrance through the observatories built by the Half-Spirit race.

Fang Yu just couldn’t stand Master Xiu’s domineering attitude when speaking.

“Not letting me in? Then I’ll definitely go in.”

Fang Yu doesn’t care what Shenyinhui wants to do.

Anyway, these ancient ruins certainly have nothing to do with these old men.

Why they can know the exact time when the ancient ruins open, Fang Yu doesn’t know.

But this doesn’t affect Fang Yu’s continued entry into the ancient ruins.

“Shenyinhui…” Fang Yu’s eyes turned cold as he accelerated through the air.

…

In the afternoon, news spread that shocked North Capital.

Lin Zhengxiong, the head of the Lin family, was attacked in the southern suburbs of North Capital, severely injured, and his fate unknown.

The attacker left several bloody words at the scene.

Those close to Fang Yu will die.

Since the Lin family established relations with Fang Yu, in terms of reputation and power, the Lin family had become the number one family in North Capital.

But unexpectedly, before this title could be worn for a few days, the head of the Lin family met with trouble.

Moreover, the person who attacked was directly targeting Fang Yu!

Those close to Fang Yu will die…

This sentence was obviously targeting Fang Yu!

Isn’t this telling all families in North Capital that whoever dares to get close to Fang Yu will suffer?

After the battle at the Wang family, Fang Yu’s name became famous throughout North Capital.

With the tragedy of the Wang family, no one dared to think about opposing Fang Yu.

But now, someone dared to directly attack Lin Zhengxiong, and even left a line of bloody words as a warning.

This is simply blatant provocation!

The provocation isn’t against the Lin family, but against Fang Yu!

Now, the eyes of the entire North Capital martial arts world are focused on Fang Yu.

They all want to see how Fang Yu will respond to this situation.

…

When Fang Yu returned to his doorstep, he saw a man in blue robes standing opposite the gate.

The aura of this person felt somewhat familiar to Fang Yu.

So, Fang Yu directly landed beside this person.

Seeing the man’s face, he realized it was Su Changge from Shadow Gate, whom he had met once before when heading to East Sun Island.

“Master Fang, hello.” Seeing Fang Yu land directly beside him, Su Changge wasn’t surprised but naturally bowed to Fang Yu.

“You’re looking for me?” Fang Yu asked.

“Yes,” Su Changge answered.

Fang Yu examined Su Changge from head to toe and found that his complexion didn’t look good, with his face subtly pale.

“What’s the matter?” Fang Yu asked.

“I heard Master Fang encountered a small issue… Of course, this issue is trivial for Master Fang. But with Master Fang’s current status and position, there’s no need to personally handle such small matters…” Su Changge began his endless flattery, with every sentence aimed at bootlicking.

Fang Yu frowned and interrupted: “What exactly do you want to say?”

“It’s about the attack on the Lin family head…” Su Changge raised his head and said.

Fang Yu’s eyes moved slightly, staring at Su Changge.

“Master Fang, this matter has spread throughout North Capital,” Su Changge said. “That’s why I rushed over to see if I could help Master Fang in any way.”

“Help?” Fang Yu examined Su Changge, frowning slightly.

This person was not only overly familiar but also very enthusiastic?

But Fang Yu never believed in such goodwill without reason.

“I don’t need help,” Fang Yu said coldly.

“Master Fang, please give me a chance to demonstrate my abilities. I truly want to help,” Su Changge said. “I know my appearance is abrupt, but it’s out of necessity. I really have no other channel to contact Master Fang.”

“What do you want from me?” Fang Yu frowned and asked.

Su Changge looked at Fang Yu and said: “I want to become Master Fang’s chief follower.”

Follower?

Fang Yu was stunned, looking at Su Changge with even more confusion.

What exactly does this person mean?

All this flattery just to be a follower?

“Master Fang, please don’t underestimate your charm. At the Hundred Sects Competition, my sect didn’t participate, but I was personally present… Your skills at that time, truly… left me in awe, and even now when I recall it, I’m still moved…” Su Changge raised his head, looking at the sky beside him, sighing.

Fang Yu stared at Su Changge’s expression.

On the surface, he couldn’t detect any malice from Su Changge.

“Alright, you want to help, so what can you do for me?” Fang Yu thought for a moment and asked.

Su Changge’s face lit up with joy, saying: “Master Fang, just command me, I can do anything. From assassination to stealing the intimate clothing of a lady you admire…”

“Go to the Fan family and bring Fan Jinsheng to me,” Fang Yu said.

“The Fan family? Fan Jinsheng? No problem.” Su Changge agreed immediately without hesitation.

“You won’t mistake the person, right?” Fang Yu asked.

“Of course, Master Fang, you’re referring to Fan Jinsheng, the head of the Fan family, one of the eight great families of North Capital. I know him,” Su Changge said. “I’ll go capture him right now.”

“He might not be at the Fan family now,” Fang Yu said.

“No problem, give me some time, and I’ll definitely bring him to see you,” Su Changge said.

Looking at Su Changge’s confident demeanor, Fang Yu said: “You seem to be injured? Fan Jinsheng is not weak, are you sure you can handle it?”

“As expected of Master Fang, seeing through my injuries at a glance… But it’s fine, I have my methods, please rest assured,” Su Changge bowed. “Is this task a test for me? If I pass, will I qualify to be your chief follower?”

“We’ll see,” Fang Yu said. “So far I’ve only seen your ability to boast, I haven’t seen your other abilities yet.”

“Good! I definitely won’t disappoint you, Master Fang.” Su Changge said, taking out a piece of white jade from his pocket and handing it to Fang Yu. “This is my specially made communication stone. For any situation, I will contact Master Fang through this stone.”

Fang Yu took the white jade and nodded.

“Whoosh!”

Su Changge disappeared in front of Fang Yu, vanishing without a trace.

Fang Yu looked ahead, his eyes flickering slightly.

“Spatial power?”

This Su Changge… is quite interesting.

Fang Yu put the communication stone in his pocket and turned to walk home.

The reason he asked Su Changge to find Fan Jinsheng was because Fang Yu suspected that the Lin family incident might be related to the Half-Spirit race.

Although the Half-Spirit realm had been destroyed, there must still be many followers of the Half-Spirit race in North Capital.

Would they, after the destruction of the Half-Spirit realm, become desperate and attempt a counterattack?

This is very possible.

Capturing Fan Jinsheng would certainly yield a lot of information.

If Su Changge couldn’t find Fan Jinsheng, then Fang Yu would take action personally.

…

As the sky gradually darkened, at the Fan family.

In the top floor of the highest building inside, there was a secret room.

This secret room was extremely well-sealed and had arrays set up to block all external force intrusions.

Even a divine sense couldn’t penetrate into it.

At this moment, four people were sitting together in the secret room.

The person sitting on the left was Fan Jinsheng, with a solemn expression.

And the man sitting on the right had a face full of scars.

This person was Ma Sanhong, who had been tortured to near death by Little Fengling.

In the other two positions sat a man in green robes and a man in purple robes.

If outsiders were present, they would definitely recognize these two people’s identities!

They were the head of the Wan family, Wan Buhui, and the head of the Guan family, Guan Yi, both from the eight great families!
