Chapter 466: The Situation Is Dire!

Su Lengyu’s expression changed slightly, her eyes becoming alert.

The shadow on the balcony was clearly the effect of some magical technique, not a real person.

Fang Yu, however, seemed to have anticipated this and walked directly toward the balcony.

On the balcony was a semi-transparent figure wearing blue robes, with his back to Fang Yu.

When Fang Yu reached the balcony, the figure slowly turned around.

It was Mo Xiu, the Order Keeper who had previously formed an alliance with Fang Yu.

Now, he stood before Fang Yu in spirit form, his physical body absent.

“I’ve been waiting for you here for three days,” Mo Xiu said.

“We agreed on a two-month timeframe, and it’s only been a little over half a month… Why the rush?” Fang Yu asked, raising an eyebrow.

Mo Xiu remained silent for a moment, then said with a grave expression: “I also wish I could give you the full two months… but the situation is becoming increasingly dire. In the past week, the number of Berserk Warriors appearing has doubled compared to before!”

“These Berserk Warriors are extremely powerful, and the Xiangcheng Martial Arts Association alone cannot handle them… They’ve already sent distress signals to martial arts associations across the entire Nine Provinces Nation.”

“Nowhere in Xiangcheng is safe anymore.”

“That’s a bit extreme, isn’t it? I just came back from the park and didn’t see any Berserk Warriors along the way,” Fang Yu said.

“Berserk Warriors typically appear in groups during the evening… The Xiangcheng Martial Arts Association has warned civilians through various channels to reduce their outings…” Mo Xiu explained.

Only then did Fang Yu realize that at the ecological park earlier, and on his way back, he hadn’t encountered many pedestrians.

Although the weather was quite hot, people wouldn’t avoid going out to this extent just to escape the heat.

“Actually, I just had a conversation with the Immortal King,” Fang Yu said.

“The Immortal King!?” Mo Xiu’s expression changed slightly.

“Yes, but unfortunately, I couldn’t get its location out of it,” Fang Yu said calmly.

“What did it say?” Mo Xiu asked urgently, his gaze intense.

“Nothing substantial, just threats, similar to villains in movies and novels,” Fang Yu said. “Oh, and it also let me listen to the sound of its heartbeat.”

“The sound of its heartbeat?” Mo Xiu’s expression changed again.

“It said it would eventually revive, and then it would be the end for me and humanity,” Fang Yu repeated the Immortal King’s words.

After hearing what Fang Yu said, Mo Xiu’s expression became extremely grave. He stroked his white beard, seemingly contemplating something.

Taking advantage of this moment, Fang Yu turned back to the living room, poured himself a glass of cold water, and drank it in one gulp.

Su Lengyu stood nearby, silently refilling Fang Yu’s glass.

After pondering for a moment, Mo Xiu walked into the living room.

“Fang Yu, although we initially agreed on a two-month timeframe, I still hope you can speed things up,” Mo Xiu said. “We need to obtain concrete information, then capture all the Immortal Clan members at once, nipping their conspiracies in the bud.”

“I’ll try my best,” Fang Yu replied.

He also wanted to find the Immortal Clan’s lair, but their defenses were truly formidable. Despite several opportunities, Fang Yu hadn’t succeeded.

Seeing Fang Yu’s lazy demeanor, Mo Xiu’s frown deepened.

Entrusting such an important responsibility to someone as unreliable as Fang Yu was concerning. Yet ironically, there was no better candidate in Xiangcheng!

“Sigh, if only there weren’t internal conflicts within the organization… we wouldn’t be in such a predicament,” Mo Xiu sighed inwardly.

Mo Xiu was about to leave, but after a moment’s thought, he added: “Currently in Xiangcheng, at least hundreds of innocent civilians die at the hands of Berserk Warriors every day, and this number continues to grow… Fang Yu, I truly hope you can take this matter seriously.”

With that, Mo Xiu’s spirit form dissipated.

Fang Yu’s expression remained unchanged as he leaned back on the sofa.

Su Lengyu stood nearby, and seeing that Fang Yu was still thinking, she suppressed her curiosity and didn’t ask any questions.

A moment later, Fang Yu looked at Su Lengyu and asked, “Why don’t you sit down?”

Su Lengyu nodded and sat down on the nearby sofa.

“You must have many questions, right? I can briefly tell you that the person who just spoke with me was… the Immortal King…”

Fang Yu roughly explained to Su Lengyu about the Order Keepers and the Immortal Clan.

After listening, Su Lengyu’s expression also became serious.

Berserk Warriors, slaughtering civilians.

Having stayed in Frost Cold Palace for a long time, she knew little about the outside world. This was the first time she had heard about the Immortal Clan and Berserk Warriors.

“So what do you plan to do, Brother Yu?” Su Lengyu asked, tucking a few strands of blue hair behind her ear.

“There’s not much to do. They currently don’t want me to find their location. And searching underground is like looking for a needle in a haystack, so I can only wait for them to come to me,” Fang Yu said.

Su Lengyu nodded.

“What are your plans now? Return to Frost Cold Palace or stay in Nandu?” Fang Yu asked.

“I contacted Liansha on my way back, and she said everything at the sect is fine. So… I’d like to stay here for a few more days,” Su Lengyu said softly, lowering her eyelids.

“Stay as long as you want, after all, this is your disciple’s house,” Fang Yu smiled.

“By the way.”

Fang Yu suddenly remembered something and took out a ring from his storage pouch.

Then, he removed the Space Spirit Ring from his right finger.

“These two rings, along with the Water Spirit Ring on your hand, are called the Three Spirit Rings,” Fang Yu said, placing the Earth Spirit Ring and Space Spirit Ring on the table in front of Su Lengyu. “These three rings are a set. When used together, they can exert their maximum power. Try them on.”

Su Lengyu’s beautiful eyes widened as she looked at the two rings on the table.

She had already used the Water Spirit Ring and the Space Spirit Ring.

But this was the first time she had seen the Earth Spirit Ring.

“Brother Yu, these three rings…”

“I got them from a guy named Chen Luo. Didn’t I fight him half a month ago? He lost, so naturally his things became mine,” Fang Yu said casually.

Thinking about this, Su Lengyu felt extremely regretful.

On the day Fang Yu fought with Chen Luo, she had been in seclusion in the practice room. When she came out the next day and heard about it from Liu Liansha, she rushed to Nandu, only to end up accompanying Fang Yu to the Far North.

“These three rings aren’t of much use to me, so I’m giving them to you,” Fang Yu said.

Su Lengyu’s expression changed, and she quickly said, “Brother Yu, I can’t accept them…”

Having used two of the rings, she knew that if considered as magical treasures, they would be at least divine-grade!

Such rings would certainly cause a commotion if revealed to the outside world!

“If you don’t want them, I’ll throw them away,” Fang Yu said.

Su Lengyu was startled and shook her head repeatedly, saying, “Don’t throw them away…”

“Then take them,” Fang Yu said.

“But…” Su Lengyu wanted to say something more.

“Alright, just consider yourself keeping them for me. I’ll ask for them back if I need them,” Fang Yu said.

Knowing she couldn’t persuade Fang Yu, Su Lengyu reluctantly took the two rings.

But she didn’t immediately put them on, instead carefully storing them in her storage pouch.

“Actually, I have many more good items, but they’re all at my home in Yancheng. If I have a chance to return to Yancheng in the future, I’ll look through them and give you anything suitable,” Fang Yu said.

“Brother Yu, you’ve already given me so many things… I really don’t know how to repay you,” Su Lengyu said softly.

“No need,” Fang Yu stood up, ruffled Su Lengyu’s hair, and then walked toward his room. “I’m going to catch up on some sleep. You should rest too.”

Su Lengyu, whose head had been patted by Fang Yu, had a beautiful blush on her face. She stared at Fang Yu’s bedroom door for a long time without shifting her gaze.

…

It wasn’t until nine in the evening that Fang Yu opened his eyes.

At this time, he heard some noise outside.

Fang Yu walked out of his room and saw Su Lengyu in the kitchen.

The kitchen emitted a slight fragrance mixed with a strong burnt smell.

Entering the kitchen, Fang Yu saw Su Lengyu frantically trying to handle the food in the pan.

Perhaps because she hadn’t added oil to the pan, the ingredients had already been charred and were now on fire.

Su Lengyu extended her fair right palm, seemingly trying to use some technique to extinguish the flames.
