Chapter 259: The One Who Must Die!
What’s in the Fallen Immortal Valley? Why do people go there for training?” Fang Yu asked again.
“How would I know? I’ve never been there either. But training is just about walking difficult paths and dealing with fierce beasts… utterly boring,” Liu Liansha said.
Fang Yu remained silent.
Tang Xiaorou, sitting nearby, listened to their conversation with complete confusion.
Fang Yu glanced at Tang Xiaorou and said, “If there’s nothing else, you can leave.”
Tang Xiaorou looked at Fang Yu, then at Liu Liansha, and stood up: “Then… I’ll go.”
“It’s fine, stay as long as you want, this isn’t his house,” Liu Liansha said, giving Fang Yu a side-eye.
“This, this place is…” Tang Xiaorou paused, looking at Liu Liansha.
“This is my house,” Liu Liansha said.
Hearing this, Tang Xiaorou’s heart sank.
Fang Yu was actually living in a woman’s house!
Tang Xiaorou felt inexplicably uncomfortable and said softly, “I have something to do, I should go.”
With that, Tang Xiaorou walked towards the door.
Liu Liansha watched Tang Xiaorou’s retreating figure, a strange look flashing in her beautiful eyes.
…
In the evening, Fang Yu called Xia Xiaoying.
“The information about those thirty-four people who were killed by that person? We do have that information, but it’s not very valuable,” Xia Xiaoying said.
“I want to find the commonalities between these people,” Fang Yu said.
“The officials in Nandu considered this point while investigating the killer. However, after studying the data of all thirty-four victims, they only found one obvious commonality,” Xia Xiaoying said.
“What is it?” Fang Yu asked.
“All of their bodies were burned to charcoal without exception, making it difficult to identify them,” Xia Xiaoying said.
“No other commonalities?” Fang Yu frowned and asked.
“No, among these people were ordinary civilians who didn’t practice martial arts, innate martial artists, and several martial arts masters… As for occupations, there were doctors, workers, teachers, unemployed people… Based on the information, the killer seemed to kill randomly, and the thirty-four victims had no connections or commonalities,” Xia Xiaoying said.
Fang Yu frowned deeply.
This made it even harder to understand the purpose behind the Purple Flame Palace successor’s killings.
Random killing, was it just for pleasure?
But taking such a huge risk just for pleasure didn’t make much sense.
After a moment of silence, Fang Yu stopped thinking about it and asked, “The Fallen Immortal Valley, do you have any information about this place?”
“The Fallen Immortal Valley in Huaibei? I actually received some intelligence about this location recently, wait a moment,” Xia Xiaoying said.
A moment later, Xia Xiaoying seemed to find the information and said, “The Fallen Immortal Valley is the sacred ground of the Tianxing Sect in Huaibei, reportedly existing since ancient times. It contains many precious natural resources, which is why it attracts many martial artists… Additionally, it’s called the Fallen Immortal Valley because it’s where an immortal passed away in ancient times.”
“The immortal’s bones and relics lie in the deepest part of the valley, and no one has been able to reach that place yet…”
“If it’s a sect’s sacred ground, why open it to others?” Fang Yu asked.
“…Because the conditions inside the Fallen Immortal Valley are very suitable for various sects to send disciples for training… And sects wanting to enter the valley for training must pay certain tributes, either money or items like pills and magical treasures,” Xia Xiaoying said.
“So the Tianxing Sect opened the Fallen Immortal Valley for profit?” Fang Yu said.
“Probably, actually I don’t know much about sect matters,” Xia Xiaoying said.
“I understand,” Fang Yu said.
“One more thing. The Fallen Immortal Valley claims to open once every twenty years, but this time it opened two years early, only eighteen years after the last opening,” Xia Xiaoying said.
“Probably running low on money and urgently need to collect some,” Fang Yu said.
“That’s all the information I know about the Fallen Immortal Valley, do you have any other questions?” Xia Xiaoying asked.
“No, thank you,” Fang Yu said.
…
After hanging up, Fang Yu fell into deep thought.
Fallen Immortal Valley…
At times like this, Fang Yu really regretted it.
For the past two thousand years, his will had been too depressed, leading him to ignore the surrounding world.
The result was that he became isolated from information and disconnected from the times.
Everything he knew was from long ago, completely out of touch with the present.
For example, places like the Fallen Immortal Valley and the Tianxing Sect, Fang Yu had never even heard of them.
“Damn, I’m no different from an eighteen-year-old rookie now, really going backwards in life,” Fang Yu said, patting his head.
However, Fang Yu was still very interested in the Fallen Immortal Valley.
Because, according to Liu Liansha and Xia Xiaoying, this was a major event for various sects in Huaibei, and many martial artists wanted to obtain the precious resources inside.
Then that Purple Flame Palace successor might also have received the news and enter the Fallen Immortal Valley.
Since there was nothing else to do recently, it would be good to take a trip there. There might be unexpected gains, just like finding a spirit vein last time at White River Mountain.
Fang Yu had currently reached the nine thousand nine hundred and fifty-fifth layer of Qi Refinement, and if he found another spirit vein, he might reach ten thousand layers.
Of course, Fang Yu was certain that the talk about immortals was nonsense.
Fallen Immortal Valley, a place where an immortal passed away?
Once someone becomes an immortal, they can’t stay on Earth and must ascend to higher planes.
So how could an immortal possibly pass away on Earth?
After communicating with Xia Xiaoying, Fang Yu walked out of the room and asked Liu Liansha, “What time are you returning to Frost Cold Palace tomorrow?”
“I’m not going back to Frost Cold Palace, we’ll meet directly at the Fallen Immortal Valley, probably arrive around ten tomorrow morning,” Liu Liansha said.
“I’ll go with you,” Fang Yu said.
…
Huaibei, Chen family, main hall.
“You worthless thing! You just transferred the ownership of the Sky Battle Rock away like that? Do you know how much that batch of Sky Battle Rock is worth?”
A man wearing pajamas with graying hair was furiously scolding a younger man in front of him.
The one being scolded was Chen Yi, and the one yelling was Chen Yi’s father, the current head of the Chen family, Chen Nansheng.
Chen Yi lowered his head, with obvious injuries on his face, and said, “I had no choice! Do you know how strong that Fang Yu is!? If I didn’t agree to his demands, he would have killed me on the spot!”
“Better to die than give up the ownership of Sky Battle Rock! You think your worthless life is worth more than that batch of Sky Battle Rock!?” Chen Nansheng said with an ashen face.
Hearing these words, Chen Yi turned pale and couldn’t speak.
Chen Nansheng was so angry his breathing became heavy as he paced back and forth in the hall.
The atmosphere in the entire hall was extremely tense.
The servants standing nearby all lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.
Sky Battle Rock!
The Sky Battle Rock on that island was worth at least ten billion, or even hundreds of billions!
Just transferring the ownership away like that, Chen Nansheng couldn’t accept it!
“Damn! You damn worthless thing! I should never have given birth to such a good-for-nothing!”
Chen Nansheng got angrier as he thought about it and turned to a servant saying, “Bring me a wooden stick!”
Chen Yi’s whole body trembled.
Soon, the servant brought a wooden stick.
Chen Nansheng grabbed the stick and swung it at Chen Yi.
Chen Yi immediately backed away, dodging the strike.
“You dare to dodge?” Chen Nansheng cursed, chasing after him.
“Nansheng, what are you doing?”
At this moment, a woman ran into the hall, rushed forward and hugged Chen Nansheng, preventing him from chasing Chen Yi.
This person was Chen Yi’s mother, Lu Wanju.
“Get out of the way quickly, I must beat this worthless thing to death today!” Chen Nansheng said angrily.
“No matter what he did wrong, he’s still your son! How can you bear to beat him? Look how badly he’s already injured,” Lu Wanju cried out.
“He deserves it! Look at Luo’er, then look at this waste! This is what you’ve spoiled him into!” Chen Nansheng said as he pushed Lu Wanju away and charged at Chen Yi with the stick.
“Stop.”
At this moment, an elderly voice rang out.
An old man walked out, followed by a handsome young man.
“Dad.”
Seeing the old man, Chen Nansheng’s expression changed slightly, and he lowered the stick.
The old Chen patriarch looked at Chen Yi, then at Chen Nansheng, and sighed.
“Father and son fighting like this, aren’t you just making yourselves a laughingstock?”
Chen Nansheng’s face was ashen as he said, “I’m just so angry, this brat Chen Yi… he gave away the Sky Battle Rock…”
“I heard everything,” the old Chen patriarch waved his hand and said, “What’s done is done, beating him to death won’t change anything.”
Chen Nansheng glared angrily at Chen Yi and said, “He needs some punishment to learn his lesson!”
“Enough, the key point now is how to get back the ownership of the Sky Battle Rock,” the old Chen patriarch said.
At this point, Chen Luo who was standing behind looked at Chen Yi and asked, “Brother, what was the name of the person who forced you to sign the contract?”
“…Fang Yu,” Chen Yi thought for a moment and told everything that happened on the island.
“Killed a Sky Devouring Whale alone… must be him,” Chen Luo’s eyes turned ice cold.
The old Chen patriarch looked at Chen Luo and asked, “You know this person?”
“Not just know him,” Chen Luo shook his head.
Last time at White River Mountain, Fang Yu had taken away the opportunity that should have been his.
From then on, Chen Luo had marked Fang Yu as an enemy that must be killed!
As someone who had been reborn, Chen Luo would not allow anyone to disrupt his destiny.
“Leave this matter to me,” Chen Luo said coldly.
“This person, I must kill him.”
…
Early the next morning, Fang Yu left Nandu with Liu Liansha for the Fallen Immortal Valley.
The journey wasn’t far. Leaving at eight o’clock, they arrived at the valley entrance by ten o’clock.
At this time, several scattered groups were standing in front of the entrance, each group having about ten people.
These should be disciples from various sects.
Liu Liansha looked around, searching for her master Su Lengyun.
Soon, she spotted Su Lengyun’s location and quickly ran over.
“Master!” Liu Liansha called out.
Su Lengyun turned around, first seeing Liu Liansha, but quickly noticed Fang Yu standing behind her.
“Brother Yu, why are you here?”
Su Lengyun’s face lit up with joy as she walked past Liu Liansha to Fang Yu.
