Chapter 491: His Target Is You!

“It’s nothing, you came at the right time, take her home.” Fang Yu said.

“I don’t want to go home…” Zhao Zinan tugged at Fang Yu’s clothes, saying softly.

“Zinan, I know I upset you this morning, but I really had no choice, grandfather was very angry at the time…” Zhao Xuan said.

Zhao Zinan still ignored Zhao Xuan.

Noticing Zhao Zinan pulling on Fang Yu’s clothes, Zhao Xuan’s expression changed slightly.

In his memory, Zhao Zinan had never done this with anyone other than him.

“Zinan, brother was wrong, really wrong. Come home with me, mom is worried sick.” Zhao Xuan said again.

At the mention of her mother, Zhao Zinan turned her head and asked, “Is mom… okay?”

“She was terrified, but this morning grandfather was still angry and wouldn’t let us send someone to pick you up. This afternoon he went out, so I quickly came to find you.” Zhao Xuan said.

Zhao Zinan bit her red lips, glanced at Fang Yu, seemingly still hesitating.

“I don’t have time to wander around with you, hurry home.” Fang Yu said.

“That’s right, Zinan. Master Fang must be very busy, so please don’t trouble him anymore, okay?” Zhao Xuan persuaded.

Since Fang Yu had said so, Zhao Zinan could only reluctantly nod, release Fang Yu’s clothes, and walk to Zhao Xuan’s side.

“Master Fang, thank you for your trouble, I’m really sorry. Zinan is just childish, please don’t mind.” Zhao Xuan said.

“It’s fine, but for the next while, you’d better assign more people to protect your sister.” Fang Yu reminded.

Hearing this, Zhao Xuan’s expression changed, and he anxiously asked, “Master Fang, what do you mean by that…”

“She’s probably being targeted.” Fang Yu said.

“What!? Why… my sister is just an ordinary person…” Zhao Xuan’s face turned pale.

“I don’t know why either, I have more questions than you do. Anyway, protect her well.”

After speaking, Fang Yu turned and walked back to the apartment.

Zhao Xuan stood frozen, his expression constantly changing.

Someone wanted to harm Zhao Zinan?

If these words had come from someone else, Zhao Xuan might not have taken them seriously, but coming from Fang Yu, it was different.

Fang Yu had no reason to lie to him.

“Zinan, what happened earlier? Tell me.” Zhao Xuan turned to Zhao Zinan and asked.

Zhao Zinan was staring blankly at Fang Yu’s departing figure, and only turned her head in confusion when she heard Zhao Xuan’s question.

“What is it, brother?” Zhao Zinan asked.

Facing his naturally innocent sister, Zhao Xuan felt helpless.

“Let’s talk in the car.” Zhao Xuan said.

…

After returning to the apartment, Fang Yu sat on the living room sofa, reflecting on the various situations he had encountered today.

Zhao Zinan with her extremely unusual physique, the mysteriously appearing demon cult…

These two were actually connected.

The two monsters he had just encountered were targeting Zhao Zinan.

This meant that people from the demon cult knew about Zhao Zinan’s secret and wanted to use her to accomplish something.

But how did they know about Zhao Zinan’s special physique?

Zhao Zinan’s aura was no different from ordinary people’s. If Fang Yu hadn’t infused true qi into her body, he wouldn’t have discovered her body’s uniqueness.

After thinking for a while, Fang Yu stood up and walked to the balcony.

The questions in his mind now weren’t just about Zhao Zinan and the demon cult.

There was another question that had been in his heart for a long time.

Why had so many ancient beings been reviving recently?

The Immortal Clan, the demon cult, and even the beasts from the Far North…

All these signs were reversing rules that had existed on Earth for tens of thousands of years.

With the spiritual energy on Earth being so thin now, why were so many similar events occurring?

Did the revival of these various beings foretell the coming of some major event?

Fang Yu couldn’t figure it out.

A long, long time ago, when Fang Yu had just joined the Heavenly Dao Sect, he had heard his master speak about this.

Human civilization wasn’t limited to their current era.

Perhaps one million years ago, two million years ago, three million years ago, human civilizations had existed on Earth, only to disappear with the passage of time.

Human civilization was like a cycle, becoming extinct after a very long time, then reappearing.

And each time civilization was destroyed, it was due to some super-catastrophe that humans couldn’t resist.

At that time, Fang Yu had asked his master if previous human civilizations had cultivators. With cultivators, shouldn’t they have been able to resist any disaster?

But his master had just shaken his head, saying he didn’t know if previous civilizations had cultivators. The only thing he could be certain of was that if a world-ending disaster came, even many cultivators would be useless.

Because the cultivators who remained on Earth had, at most, reached the Tribulation Crossing stage, not the level of immortals.

And cultivators who successfully crossed tribulations would inevitably ascend, leaving Earth, unable to help humans resist disasters.

This was a dead loop, unsolvable.

Fang Yu had been very worried then, asking his master what would happen if disaster struck during his generation.

“Don’t worry, our current round of human civilization has only existed for tens of thousands of years, there’s still a long way to go. Even if that day comes, you’ll either have become a fossil or ascended to the immortal realm, why worry? Instead of worrying about this, you should focus on breaking through the Qi Condensation stage,” Fang Yu’s master, Dao Tian, had laughed.

As he grew older, Fang Yu had treated his master’s words as legends or jokes.

But today, recalling his master’s words, Fang Yu suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

With so many inexplicable strange events happening recently, did they foretell the coming of disaster?

“Brother Yu.”

As Fang Yu was deep in thought, Su Lengyun’s voice came from behind.

Fang Yu pulled himself out of his contemplation and turned to look at Su Lengyun.

“I’m sorry, did I disturb your thinking?” Su Lengyun apologized.

“It’s fine, I was just thinking about some meaningless things anyway.” Fang Yu said.

“Meaningless?” Su Lengyun asked, puzzled.

“Yes, about the end of the world.” Fang Yu smiled.

“The end of the world?” Su Lengyun was startled, then smiled gently and said, “Brother Yu, you think about such things too? That’s not like the you I remember.”

“When people get old, they become sentimental. I didn’t understand this principle when I was young, but now I do,” Fang Yu said. “When I was young, I acted more than I thought, preferring to act first and think later… but now, it’s the opposite.”

“Brother Yu, you’re not old at all.” Su Lengyun frowned slightly, objecting.

“Why do you only focus on the first part of what I said?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow.

“You’re really not old, you look even younger than me.” Su Lengyun said.

“…Forget it, you’re still too young, I can’t discuss deep topics with you.” Fang Yu said.

Su Lengyun didn’t speak, looking at the scenery outside the balcony.

“Brother Yu, I’m returning to Frost Cold Palace tomorrow.” After a long while, Su Lengyun spoke.

“That’s good, you’ve been away for about a month, you should go back and check on things.” Fang Yu said.

“This time when I go back, I’ll be going into seclusion until I break through to the Martial Saint realm.” Su Lengyun said.

“Oh?” Only then did Fang Yu notice that Su Lengyun’s cultivation had reached the peak of the Core Formation stage, and it was time for her to form her Nascent Soul.

“I’ve never reached such a high realm, so I can’t give you advice. You’ll have to rely on yourself.” Fang Yu said.

“Brother Yu, you don’t need realms at all, no one can be your match.” Su Lengyun said.

“Keep up the good work, your talent is quite good. Advancing to Martial Saint shouldn’t be too big a problem for you.” Fang Yu patted Su Lengyun’s head and turned back to the living room.

Su Lengyun looked at Fang Yu, her beautiful eyes full of determination.

Recently, she had gained a clearer understanding of Fang Yu’s strength.

She didn’t want to fall too far behind Fang Yu; she wanted to catch up to him, even if she could only see a bit of his back.

“Brother Yu, I will definitely work hard to catch up to you,” Su Lengyun thought.

…

The next day, Su Lengyun left the apartment, and Fang Yu returned to living alone.

Peaceful days always pass very quickly.

For four consecutive days, Fang Yu hardly went out except for meals.

In the afternoon, Fang Yu received a call from Qin Lang, saying he had urgent business and wanted to meet.

Just as Fang Yu went out, he received a call from an unknown number.

“Fang Yu.” A woman’s voice sounded on the phone.

Fang Yu thought for a moment and knew who it was.

It was Violet, whom he had let go before.

“What? Have you found the location of the gene laboratory?” Fang Yu asked.

“No, I haven’t found the gene laboratory. But I received news that Dr. Garry… the Monster Doctor, departed for Xiangcheng in the Nine States at 10 AM this morning. Traveling with him is a young girl dressed in red.” Violet said.

“Oh? What is he coming to Xiangcheng for?” Fang Yu asked, puzzled.

“Not certain. But his target is very likely… you.” Violet said.
