Chapter 279: Consecutive Breakthroughs!
It was Pang Tao, the leader of the Soaring Eagle Sect.
Behind Pang Tao, only five disciples remained. Eight disciples had already died in the previous chaos.
Some disciples were devoured by monsters, while others had their blood and soul drained.
Looking at the many disciples beside Su Lengyun, Pang Tao’s eyes turned red.
Why didn’t Frost Palace lose a single disciple while the Soaring Eagle Sect lost most of its disciples!?
Why!?
If that Fang Yu had acted earlier, none of the Soaring Eagle Sect’s disciples would have died!
At this moment, Fang Yu sensed Pang Tao’s gaze and turned to meet his eyes.
Pang Tao’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly looked away.
“You seem to have some dissatisfaction with me?” Fang Yu asked.
All the martial artists turned to look at Pang Tao.
“It’s this bastard again!” When Liu Liansha saw Pang Tao, her expression immediately soured, and she shouted, “Hey, Fang Yu saved your life, and you can’t even say thank you?”
Hearing these words, Pang Tao clenched his fists, raised his head, glared at Liu Liansha, and shouted, “I should thank him? Eight of my disciples died!”
“So what if eight of your disciples died? If Fang Yu hadn’t stepped in, you wouldn’t have been able to protect any of them!” Liu Liansha was angry that Pang Tao dared to argue back.
“Hehe… I know, this Fang Yu is from your Frost Palace, he only needs to protect your Frost Palace people. As for the rest of us, he doesn’t care whether we live or die!” Pang Tao lost his composure and shouted, “If he had acted earlier, would so many of us have died?”
Seeing Pang Tao’s behavior, the surrounding martial artists’ expressions changed slightly, their brows furrowing.
This Pang Tao was too ungrateful.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, he had no right to morally blackmail Fang Yu.
When one’s own safety couldn’t be guaranteed, who could care about others’ survival?
If Fang Yu hadn’t stepped in to kill that monster and the Witch Cult people, none of them would have survived!
Pang Tao not only failed to show gratitude to Fang Yu but even complained that he didn’t act earlier? That he didn’t save all of the Soaring Eagle Sect members?
This was completely unreasonable.
“Sect Leader Pang, I understand your feelings, but most of us here are in the same situation as you. We are all grieving, none of us want to accept this outcome, but the fact is, Fellow Daoist Fang saved all of us…” Liu Mo spoke up at this point.
“It’s your business if you want to thank him!” Pang Tao said harshly, turning to leave.
“This ungrateful bastard, first he tried to harm our Frost Palace, and now after saving his life he acts like we owe him something, it’s infuriating! Why didn’t he just die!?” Liu Liansha said through gritted teeth in anger.
“Oh? He attacked you before?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.
“Shortly after we left that forest, this bastard appeared, and then… if we hadn’t spent so much energy fighting him earlier, Master wouldn’t have been injured and fallen unconscious!” Liu Liansha explained how Pang Tao had attacked them before.
After hearing Liu Liansha’s words, Fang Yu turned his head to look at the departing Pang Tao.
“Bang!”
Pang Tao immediately felt an enormous force pressing down on his shoulders, making him unable to stand steady. His knees buckled, and he fell to the ground.
The force turned his body around to face Fang Yu, Su Lengyun, and the others.
“What, what do you want to do!?” Pang Tao shouted in terror.
He tried to stand up but was firmly pressed down by the massive force, unable to move at all!
“You don’t need to thank me for saving your life, I didn’t intend to save you anyway,” Fang Yu said coldly. “But you need to apologize to them.”
Pang Tao’s face darkened as he shouted, “Why should I apologize to them? I didn’t do anything to them!”
Fang Yu’s expression remained unchanged as he said, “You just need to apologize, nothing else.”
Kneeling and apologizing in front of so many martial artists, Pang Tao felt extremely humiliated.
“Fellow Daoists, this person is using his powerful strength to force me to apologize to those women. Heaven and Earth can witness that I never did anything to them!” Pang Tao came up with a plan and shouted to the surrounding martial artists.
With so many martial artists present, he didn’t believe Fang Yu would dare to do anything too extreme!
He just needed to stir up the emotions of these martial artists!
But contrary to Pang Tao’s expectations.
Not a single martial artist spoke up for him, including several who were his acquaintances.
“Fellow Daoists…” Pang Tao’s expression changed as he tried to speak again.
“Bang!”
At this moment, a tremendous force pressed down on his head, forcing him to kowtow.
“Last chance, apologize,” Fang Yu said in a neutral tone, but his eyes contained a cold intent.
Pang Tao wanted to resist, but upon meeting Fang Yu’s gaze, a chill penetrated his heart.
Reason told him that continuing to oppose Fang Yu would only make things worse.
Pang Tao suppressed the frustration in his heart and squeezed out a few words: “I’m sorry.”
“Who are you apologizing to?” Fang Yu asked again.
Pang Tao looked at Su Lengyun, his face dark, and said, “Palace Master Su, what I did before was wrong, I’m sorry.”
“Kowtow,” Fang Yu commanded.
Pang Tao gritted his teeth and kowtowed to Su Lengyun.
His heart was filled with humiliation and anger.
But he had no other choice.
Fang Yu’s strength was clear to him.
He was not someone Pang Tao could oppose.
This day’s humiliation, he would return tenfold to Frost Palace in the future!
Pang Tao’s eyes were filled with viciousness.
After kowtowing, he slightly concealed his hateful expression and raised his head.
But at this moment, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen!
“Puh!”
Pang Tao’s eyes bulged as he felt all the meridians in his body rupture in an instant!
He spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying dozens of meters, rolling several times before stopping.
By now, Pang Tao had lost consciousness.
“Master…”
The five surviving disciples of the Soaring Eagle Sect quickly rushed forward.
“Your master will probably spend the rest of his life bedridden, take good care of him,” Fang Yu said.
The five disciples were terrified as they lifted the unconscious Pang Tao and fled like escapees.
A dead silence fell over the surroundings.
During the confrontation between Pang Tao and Fang Yu, no one dared to speak.
Among them, there were no fools.
After witnessing Fang Yu’s strength, who would dare to defy him?
Only someone as brainless as Pang Tao would dare to do so.
His miserable fate also proved the truth that strength rules supreme in the martial world.
…
After leaving Fallen Immortal Valley, Fang Yu returned to Frost Palace with Su Lengyun.
“The events at Fallen Immortal Valley will surely shake the martial world of Huaibei.”
On the way back, Su Lengyun spoke.
Today’s events were not as simple as just the death and injury of a large group of martial artists.
It could directly affect the entire structure of the Huaibei martial world!
The already declining major martial sects would likely become even more desolate after today!
The future Huaibei martial world would be completely dominated by those martial families!
However, regardless of who dominated, it didn’t matter to Su Lengyun.
As long as Frost Palace wasn’t affected, it was fine.
“Damn, I forgot to settle accounts with that old man from Celestial Star Gate, he’s largely responsible for this!” Fang Yu suddenly slapped his forehead as they walked, saying with annoyance.
“It doesn’t matter, if we don’t go, others will seek out Celestial Star Gate,” Su Lengyun said.
“Actually, I did settle some accounts. I severely injured that old man and his two elders,” Fang Yu said.
“You met Master Zheng?” Su Lengyun asked in surprise.
“Yes, at the cave entrance on the outskirts of Fallen Immortal Valley,” Fang Yu answered.
“Cave?” Su Lengyun looked puzzled.
Fang Yu then explained what had happened in the cave outside Fallen Immortal Valley.
“This is the cultivation crystal,” Fang Yu took out the fist-sized, blue-glowing crystal from his storage bag.
Beside them, Liu Liansha saw the crystal and exclaimed, “How beautiful! If sold as a gemstone, it would definitely fetch a high price!”
Su Lengyun gave Liu Liansha a warning look.
Liu Liansha immediately closed her mouth.
“Oh right.”
Fang Yu remembered something and took out the Void Spirit Ring from his storage bag, handing it to Su Lengyun.
“You should use this ring, it’s a decent offensive magical treasure,” Fang Yu said.
“Magical treasure?” Su Lengyun looked at the ancient gold-colored ring, which appeared ordinary on the outside.
“Yes, this ring is actually very suitable for women because it needs to absorb the unique yin energy of women to activate,” Fang Yu said.
Su Lengyun held the ring, examined it carefully for a moment, nodded, and said softly, “Thank you, Brother Yu.”
Beside them, Liu Liansha watched Su Lengyun’s expression with discontent.
These two, the more she watched, the more something seemed off.
He even gave her a ring!
If things continued like this, her most respected master might really be taken away!
“I must find a way to separate these two!” Liu Liansha looked at Fang Yu, deep in thought.
…
After arriving at Frost Palace, Fang Yu found a quiet room.
He needed to refine that Tribulation Stage cultivator’s cultivation crystal here.
Sitting cross-legged on the floor of the room, Fang Yu looked down at the cultivation crystal in his hand, his eyes bright.
Although the amount of high-intensity spiritual energy contained within couldn’t compare to a spiritual vein, its quality was higher than a spiritual vein!
After all, this was the life’s work of a Tribulation Stage cultivator who had cultivated for over two thousand years.
Fang Yu placed both hands on the cultivation crystal, circulated his technique, and began refining.
Stream after stream of high-intensity spiritual energy flowed into Fang Yu’s body, circulated through his meridians several cycles, and finally converged into his vast and boundless dantian.
As time passed, Fang Yu’s cultivation level steadily increased.
One day, two days, three days…
After nine days, Fang Yu opened his eyes.
By now, the cultivation crystal in his hand had completely lost its luster, becoming a worthless stone.
Fang Yu applied slight force with his hand, and the crystal turned to powder.
Fang Yu stood up and stretched, feeling refreshed.
During these nine days, he had broken through ten levels!
Currently, his cultivation had reached the 9,965th level of the Qi Refinement stage!
“Thirty-five levels, just thirty-five levels left!” Fang Yu’s eyes were excited.
…
After leaving the room, Fang Yu was both hungry and thirsty, planning to find something to eat and drink.
While walking, he took out his phone from his storage bag.
As soon as he turned on the phone, he saw several missed calls and a text message.
The message was from Xia Xiaoying, containing only a few words.
“Found that person’s whereabouts, contact me immediately when you see this message!”
Fang Yu’s eyes instantly became sharp.
That Purple Flame Palace successor had finally surfaced.
