Chapter 1018 Avenge Me

 

Hengyue Hotel is not far from North City 101.

Fang Yu quickly returned home.

Su Changge followed behind, and the two entered the mansion together.

This time, Fang Yu didn’t return to the bamboo house, but went to a large field in the eastern part of the mansion.

In the center of the field, there was a small pavilion.

The original reason for building a pavilion here was to experience the scene of being surrounded by vast golden wheat fields during harvest time.

After Fang Yu left North City, this place had been abandoned for a long time.

It wasn’t until last week that Fang Yu had Ye Shengxue sow wheat seeds here.

Due to the life force emitted by the Star Fruit, this wheat field only took a week to grow from nothing to maturity.

Now this golden wheat field was almost exactly what Fang Yu had originally envisioned.

Fang Yu led Su Changge through the small path between the wheat fields toward the small pavilion at the center.

As Su Changge walked, he looked at the surrounding scenery, his eyes full of amazement.

He knew that Fang Yu’s home occupied a vast area.

But he didn’t know that a single mansion could simultaneously contain so many different landscapes!

The small pond at the entrance, the green grassland, the eastern forest…

And now, here appeared the golden wheat field.

It was hard to imagine this was one person’s home.

Soon, the two walked into the small pavilion.

Fang Yu sat directly on the wooden bench in the pavilion and looked at Su Changge.

“Lord Fang, your home… is truly the most luxurious home I’ve ever seen. Perhaps ‘luxurious’ isn’t the right word, but it’s truly stunning…” Su Changge couldn’t help saying.

“I’ve been idle for most of my life, especially during my previous time in North City,” Fang Yu said. “So, I pondered building a large mansion that would encompass all the scenes I like. After spending some time, this mansion was built.”

“As expected of Lord Fang… to build whatever you want in North City where land is so precious…” Su Changge said.

“North City back then was very different from now. Land was precious, but not to the extent it is today. Plus, I was quite familiar with the officials responsible for land at that time, so getting a plot wasn’t difficult,” Fang Yu said. “As for everything inside the mansion, I built it gradually myself.”

Su Changge listened and nodded slowly, then looked at Fang Yu again and asked, “Lord Fang, I’d like to ask you a question, though it might be presumptuous.”

“Go ahead, I won’t answer if I don’t want to,” Fang Yu replied.

“How old… are you?” Su Changge asked curiously.

Fang Yu thought for a moment and answered, “You might not believe it, but I’m almost five thousand years old.”

“Five thousand… years?” Su Changge widened his eyes, looking at Fang Yu in surprise.

To be honest, Su Changge had tried to guess Fang Yu’s age.

But no matter how he guessed, he couldn’t have guessed five thousand years!

Even those legendary immortals who had transcended tribulations in history mostly lived for only one or two thousand years. He had never heard of a human living for five thousand years!

At this moment, Su Changge noticed the smile on Fang Yu’s face.

Lord Fang must be joking…

“Alright, tell me about your matter. What do you want me to help you with?” Fang Yu asked.

Hearing this, Su Changge sat up straight, his expression turning serious.

“Lord Fang, I want to ask you… to help me kill someone,” Su Changge said with flickering eyes and a deep voice.

“Kill someone? Who?” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked.

“Kill a… completely inhuman, despicable, and vile scum!” Su Changge’s tone suddenly turned cold, his eyes gleaming with hatred.

Next, Fang Yu heard the whole story from Su Changge’s mouth.

Eight years ago, Su Changge’s master, who was also the leader of Shadow Gate at that time, Su Yuanzhou, attended an auction.

The auction was held at Xuanluo Sect in Great Western Forest, usually held once a month.

The reason Su Yuanzhou attended this auction was to purchase an extremely rare medicinal herb for the youngest female disciple of the sect, Bai Xiaocheng, to cure the congenital defect in her body.

Su Yuanzhou also brought Bai Xiaocheng to this auction.

Before the auction began, to be safe, Su Yuanzhou explained the situation to many people present.

Su Yuanzhou had good relationships with many people, and many expressed that they wouldn’t compete with him for this medicinal herb.

Therefore, the process of purchasing this herb went smoothly.

Su Yuanzhou had prepared enough money, and not many people bid against him.

After the auction ended, Su Yuanzhou collected the herb and left Xuanluo Sect with Bai Xiaocheng.

But shortly after leaving Xuanluo Sect, they encountered two people.

One was named Bu Fan, and the other was his attendant.

These two suddenly appeared and blocked Su Yuanzhou and Bai Xiaocheng’s path.

Bu Fan didn’t belong to any sect in North City.

But his name was well-known in the sect world of North City.

This was because his master, True Person Tianlun, was a powerful figure ranked in the top ten of the Sacred Rankings.

However, Su Yuanzhou knew True Person Tianlun.

When Su Yuanzhou was young, his master had taken him to meet True Person Tianlun, and their relationship was quite good.

Bu Fan’s appearance to block their way puzzled Su Yuanzhou.

But what Bu Fan said next made Su Yuanzhou very angry.

“Old Su, this female disciple beside you looks pretty good. How about letting her be my dao companion?” Bu Fan’s tone was extremely frivolous at that time.

Su Yuanzhou naturally refused and angrily rebuked Bu Fan.

Unexpectedly, Bu Fan immediately turned hostile.

“I showed you respect by calling you Old Su, but if I don’t respect you, you’re just an old man!”

Bu Fan directly attacked Su Yuanzhou.

At that time, Su Yuanzhou’s cultivation was at the middle stage of the Transformation Realm.

But Bu Fan, as the direct disciple of True Person Tianlun, was already at the late stage of the Transformation Realm.

The difference in realm was already one level, not to mention Bu Fan also had an attendant at the middle stage of the Transformation Realm.

As a result, Su Yuanzhou was severely injured and fell to the ground.

And Bai Xiaocheng was forcibly taken away by Bu Fan.

Even the expensive medicinal herb that Su Yuanzhou had bought at the auction was stolen by Bu Fan.

“Old man, this is your punishment. In the future, know your place. Don’t think that just because you’ve met my master once, you’re a generation above me… and don’t try to lecture me. I hate being lectured the most.”

After saying these words, Bu Fan forcibly took away the crying Bai Xiaocheng.

Su Yuanzhou lay on the remote path until the next day when he was discovered by passing disciples from Xuanluo Sect, who took him for treatment.

While being treated at Xuanluo Sect, Su Yuanzhou woke up and asked the people of Xuanluo Sect to help find Bai Xiaocheng.

But once they heard the opponent was Bu Fan, no one at Xuanluo Sect dared to agree to help.

Su Yuanzhou was anxious and angry. Disregarding his injuries, he left Xuanluo Sect and went to find several old friends.

These old friends usually had good relationships with him, but once they heard the opponent was True Person Tianlun’s only disciple Bu Fan, none of them dared to offer help.

With no other options, Su Yuanzhou, enduring his injuries, went to the North City Martial Arts Association to seek help.

Since this matter belonged to the sect world, the Martial Arts Association didn’t want to handle it.

But at that time, Official Huaixu happened to be at the Martial Arts Association hall.

Upon hearing this matter, Huaixu decided to help Su Yuanzhou.

Afterwards, Huaixu and Su Yuanzhou directly went to True Person Tianlun’s cave heaven and also met Bu Fan.

But Bu Fan flatly denied it, refusing to admit that he had taken Bai Xiaocheng.

No matter how Su Yuanzhou accused him, even showing his injuries, Bu Fan simply wouldn’t admit it.

And True Person Tianlun didn’t mention their past friendship at all, nor did he question Bu Fan in any way.

He insisted that his disciple wouldn’t do such a thing, subtly threatening Su Yuanzhou with his words, and saying things like “without evidence, please leave”…

After causing a commotion in True Person Tianlun’s cave heaven for an entire afternoon, there was no progress.

Su Yuanzhou could only give up and leave with Huaixu.

On the way back, seeing Su Yuanzhou’s grief and anger, Huaixu used his divine sense to search the surrounding area for several kilometers.

Sure enough, in a small cave two kilometers away from True Person Tianlun’s cave heaven, he discovered something unusual.

In this cave, there was a pile of burnt ashes.

The ashes were unrecognizable, but beside the ashes, there were some unburnt remains.

It was half a palm, along with some fragments of clothing.

Su Yuanzhou immediately recognized a mole on one of the fingers of that half palm… thus confirming that these remains belonged to Bai Xiaocheng.
