Chapter 1062

Chapter 1062 Beyond the Heavens

 

When Fang Yu and Su Changgé returned to Beidu, it was already nine in the evening.

“Boss, I need to hurry back to take a shower and change clothes…” Su Changgé sniffed his clothes, frowning as he spoke.

Even though he hadn’t been directly touched by the corpse clan, some of the stench had still clung to his clothes, making it unbearable.

Fang Yu nodded, and Su Changgé saluted with clasped hands before turning to leave.

After Su Changgé left, Fang Yu also lowered his head to smell his own clothes and could detect the same stench.

So, Fang Yu returned to his bamboo house, showered, and changed into new clothes.

As for the set of clothes contaminated with the corpse clan’s odor, Fang Yu burned them to ashes.

By the time he finished all this, it was already ten at night.

In the past few days, Fang Yu had barely slept.

But for some reason, he didn’t feel sleepy at all.

He went to the rooftop terrace of the bamboo house, sat alone in the lounge chair by the tea table, gazing at the stars and moonlight, enjoying a moment of tranquility.

In such an environment, his thinking efficiency was very high.

Tonight’s trip to Black Stone Village in the northwest region had yielded information that shocked him greatly.

Was the energy contained within the barrier protecting that corpse clan monster actually celestial energy?

This was his biggest question.

If it truly was celestial energy… the reason behind the rise of alien clans would become extremely complex.

There were still more than twenty locations about to activate.

Fang Yu could verify whether the dormant alien clans at other locations were also protected by this barrier. And whether the barriers contained the same energy.

If the situations at other locations were the same as tonight’s Black Stone Village… then at least he could confirm that the so-called rise of alien clans… was an event arranged in advance by some entity.

Of course, whether it was related to celestial beings remained uncertain.

The distance to celestial beings… was still too far.

Fang Yu sat in the lounge chair on the terrace for quite a while until he heard light footsteps approaching from behind.

“Brother Yu.” A gentle female voice came from behind.

“Why aren’t you resting so late?” Fang Yu’s thoughts were interrupted as he turned to look at Su Lengyun.

Su Lengyun was wearing a white robe and sat down beside Fang Yu.

“Oh, I forgot, with your level of cultivation, meditation counts as rest.” Fang Yu scratched his head as he spoke.

Su Lengyun smiled gently and said, “Brother Yu, why aren’t you resting?”

“It’s strange, I haven’t felt sleepy at all these past few days, I’ve been very energetic.” Fang Yu sat up straighter and said, “Maybe I’m a bit too excited mentally.”

“Brother Yu has been very busy lately, hasn’t he?” Su Lengyun said softly.

“It’s fine, I work efficiently, so I wouldn’t say I’m very busy,” Fang Yu replied.

Su Lengyun nodded, looking at Fang Yu, and said quietly, “It’s a pity my strength is too weak to help Brother Yu.”

Fang Yu shook his head and said, “Don’t think like that. These matters don’t really need help, they’re just small things.”

Su Lengyun pursed her lips, stood up, and said, “Brother Yu, let me massage your shoulders.”

“My shoulders are quite hard, better massage my head instead,” Fang Yu said.

“Alright.” Su Lengyun softly agreed, moved behind Fang Yu, and gently began massaging his temples with both hands.

“Brother Yu, is the martial arts world in chaos lately?” Su Lengyun asked.

“Chaotic? Yes, a bit… but no matter how chaotic it is outside, it won’t affect us inside the mansion, so you don’t need to worry.” Fang Yu leaned back in the lounge chair with his eyes closed as he spoke.

“I’m just… worried about you, Brother Yu,” Su Lengyun said quietly.

“Me? What’s there to worry about?” Fang Yu asked in return.

Su Lengyun looked at Fang Yu with his eyes closed, bit her lip, and remained silent.

Logic told her that with Fang Yu’s strength, he was unlikely to encounter any danger.

But as a woman, she still tended to be more emotional.

Now Fang Yu had a great reputation in Beidu, even earning the nickname “Beidu’s Great Villain.”

This also meant that Fang Yu had surely made many enemies in Beidu.

There must be many people who wished him harm.

There were too many opponents to predict.

What Su Lengyun worried about… were precisely those hidden schemes.

But now, facing Fang Yu, Su Lengyun didn’t dare express her inner concerns.

She feared Fang Yu would find her nagging and affected.

“The chaotic situation will calm down soon,” Fang Yu said. “As for danger… you’re not wrong. There are always stronger people out there. But currently, to be completely honest, if I wanted to find someone stronger than me, I’d probably need to ascend to immortality first.”

“But as you know, I’m only at the Qi Condensation stage.”

“So, don’t worry, danger basically can’t find me.”

“Mm, I believe in you, Brother Yu,” Su Lengyun softly replied.

For some reason, under Su Lengyun’s finger massage, Fang Yu quickly became drowsy and fell asleep.

…

This sleep lasted until the afternoon of the next day.

After Fang Yu woke up and freshened himself, he went to Bai Konggu’s recovery quarters.

In the environment rich with life force, Bai Konggu had recovered quite well.

By today, he was able to move around independently.

When Fang Yu arrived, Bai Konggu was standing on the third-floor balcony of his residence, gazing at the bamboo forest to the west.

“Looks like you’ve recovered well,” Fang Yu said.

“Mr. Fang… your residence…” Bai Konggu saw Fang Yu and asked with a shocked expression.

“Comfortable, isn’t it?” Fang Yu smiled. “I put some thought into this place.”

Bai Konggu turned back to look at the scenery before him, still amazed.

“You seem to have recovered very well,” Fang Yu said.

“Yes,” Bai Konggu looked at Fang Yu and said, “I can return to the Sky-Watching Bureau today and take over.”

“There’s no need to rush…” Fang Yu said.

“No, the Sky-Watching Bureau is currently without leadership. If I don’t return… those members might become disoriented, leading to personnel loss…” Bai Konggu said. “If we lose the current batch of members, training another group to skillfully master the various magical tools within the Sky-Watching Bureau would take much more time.”

“So, I must return to the Sky-Watching Bureau as soon as possible to minimize losses.”

Fang Yu frowned slightly, agreeing with Bai Konggu’s reasoning.

“In that case, I’ll take you back later,” Fang Yu said.

…

Half an hour later, Fang Yu and Bai Konggu headed to the Sky-Watching Bureau together.

The journey didn’t take long, and they soon arrived at the Sky-Watching Bureau.

After the battle last time, the main gates of the Sky-Watching Bureau were closed.

Bai Konggu frowned and pushed the gates open.

Walking into the plaza, they could still see several depressions in the floor in front of the inner courtyard gate, as well as scorch marks.

“During the last fight, I tried my best to avoid damaging the interior of the Sky-Watching Bureau,” Fang Yu said. “These are already the minimized damages.”

Bai Konggu nodded, and they entered the inner courtyard together.

Unlike usual, there were no busy white-robed people walking around the Sky-Watching Bureau.

The interior was very quiet.

“Has everyone left?” Fang Yu frowned.

Bai Konggu’s expression was equally grave.

They continued deeper into the inner courtyard but barely saw anyone.

However, after turning into the courtyard where Bai Konggu usually resided, they saw that fat middle-aged man.

The fat man was walking out of Bai Konggu’s residence, head down, hurrying along.

“Da Wei,” Bai Konggu called out, stopping the fat man.

Da Wei looked up, saw Bai Konggu, and his expression changed from shock to wild joy as he exclaimed, “Elder Bai!”

He immediately ran over.

“Elder Bai, you’ve finally returned! During your absence, we really…” Da Wei looked like he was about to cry.

Bai Konggu patted Da Wei’s shoulder and said, “Starting today, I will take over the Sky-Watching Bureau again.”

“Is it true?!” Da Wei looked up and asked.

“Of course it’s true, didn’t I announce it publicly that day?” Fang Yu spoke up.

Da Wei saw Fang Yu, his expression changed, and his eyes still showed fear.

He hadn’t forgotten the scene from that day.

Fu Han, who had been like a demon in his heart, was easily killed by Fang Yu, and his subordinates were burned to ashes.

Although for him, this was a gratifying event.

But with a terrifying figure like Fang Yu standing before him, he still couldn’t remain calm.

“Don’t worry, I’m on your side,” Fang Yu smiled.

“…Your side?” Da Wei looked at Bai Konggu, his eyes filled with uncertainty.
