Chapter 566: A Person Destined to Die!
“I can consider it,” said Fang Yu. “I have other urgent matters to attend to right now, so I can’t help you at the moment.”
“…Alright, I understand. I’ll contact the Yan City Martial Arts Association immediately,” said Zhao Jidao.
Fang Yu nodded.
“By the way, Master Fang, as you previously instructed, I’ve allocated substantial cultivation resources to Frost Cold Palace. This matter has been approved through a vote in the meeting and is completely settled. Soon, the first batch of cultivation resources will be delivered to Frost Cold Palace,” said Zhao Jidao.
“Good,” Fang Yu nodded again.
“Master Fang, your residence… nothing happened here, right?” Zhao Jidao asked, looking inside Fang Yu’s house.
“Nothing happened,” Fang Yu replied.
“Alright, then I’ll go attend to my business,” Zhao Jidao said as he turned to leave.
“Who was that?” Lin Batian asked curiously from behind.
“The chairman of the Xiang City Martial Arts Association,” Fang Yu answered.
“What is the Martial Arts Association?” Lin Batian continued asking.
“It’s equivalent to the Righteous Alliance of our era,” Fang Yu said.
Before their conversation, Fang Yu had connected his divine consciousness to the Dayan Lamp, which showed slight vibrations.
Fang Yu immediately connected his divine consciousness to the Dayan Lamp to check the situation through it.
At this moment, the Dayan Lamp was hovering nearly a hundred meters in the air.
Below it was a dilapidated, abandoned residential building.
“Found it,” Fang Yu’s lips curled into a slight smile as he turned to Lin Batian, “You stay here. I’ll go by myself.”
“The Demon Cult is an evil sect that existed even in our era. I should at least go see them,” Lin Batian said.
Knowing Lin Batian’s temperament well, Fang Yu didn’t say anything more. He activated the Void Spirit Ring and silently recited an incantation.
“Whoosh!”
The two disappeared from the spot.
…
Western part of Nandu, Xiaokeng Development Zone.
This used to be a residential area. Three years ago, due to urban planning issues, these decades-old residential buildings were all scheduled for demolition to build new high-end communities.
But due to problems with the developer, the plan suddenly stalled, and this residential area, already vacated by all residents, was abandoned.
Fang Yu and Lin Batian appeared precisely at the location of the Dayan Lamp.
Fang Yu grabbed the blue-glowing Dayan Lamp back into his hand, put it into his storage bag, then completely concealed his aura and slowly descended to the ground.
Before them was a five-story building with a dilapidated exterior.
Fang Yu and Lin Batian landed on the rooftop, clearly feeling the waves of killing intent emanating from below.
“There are nineteen cultivators below, including fifteen at Foundation Establishment stage, three at Core Formation stage, and one at Nascent Soul stage,” Lin Batian communicated to Fang Yu telepathically. “Your little maid is not among them.”
Fang Yu frowned slightly.
He swept his divine consciousness through the entire building, confirming that those cultivators were all members of the Demon Cult.
However, Ye Shengxue was not among them.
“What do we do now? Should we attack directly?” Lin Batian asked.
“Of course. Since we’re here, we might as well get some information,” Fang Yu said.
…
Third floor, in a dim living room.
“Lady Sha, Blood Demon Lord just sent a message asking us to leave Nandu. They will take over the task of capturing the vessel.”
A black-clothed subordinate knelt on the ground, speaking to the woman standing by the window.
The woman looked outside without speaking.
“Blood Demon Lord also said that if you’re unwilling to leave, he will personally bring people to… drive us away,” the subordinate said tremblingly.
The woman still didn’t speak, but the suddenly dropping temperature around her revealed her current mood.
After a few seconds, the woman turned around.
The kneeling subordinate dared not speak further, pressing his forehead tightly to the ground, his whole body trembling.
“Tell him that not only will I not leave Nandu, but I will capture the vessel before him! When he comes to Nandu, he won’t get a single hair!” The woman’s voice was hoarse, her tone extremely cold.
“Un-understood, I’ll go right away to tell…” the subordinate said, preparing to stand up.
Just then, the woman suddenly raised her hand, signaling the subordinate not to move.
“Tap, tap, tap…”
Clear footsteps came from upstairs.
The killing intent around the woman suddenly erupted!
There was nobody on the fourth floor!
An outsider had broken in!
“Alert!”
The woman amplified her voice with true qi, and all subordinates throughout the building heard her.
“Tap, tap, tap…”
At this moment, the footsteps became more obvious, coming from the nearby staircase.
The woman turned her head to look at the staircase entrance, her killing intent palpable.
This was her temporary base, normally well-hidden. It shouldn’t have been found by anyone!
Soon, a figure appeared from the corner of the staircase, slowly walking down to the third floor.
It was Fang Yu.
Fang Yu looked at the woman before him.
Even though there was no light in the living room, Fang Yu could still see her features—bewitchingly beautiful with a voluptuous figure.
However, she emanated a terrifying killing intent.
This woman was the one referred to as “Lady Sha” in the memories he had extracted from the Demon Cult member.
Clearly, she was the leader here.
Lady Sha’s expression changed slightly upon seeing Fang Yu.
She hadn’t expected Fang Yu to find this place!
“Where is Ye Shengxue?” Fang Yu asked directly, observing Lady Sha’s reaction.
Lady Sha was visibly stunned for a moment, then her lips curled into a cold smile as she said, “Fang Yu, you’ve delivered yourself to our doorstep, saving us a lot of trouble.”
Noticing this, Fang Yu frowned slightly.
Could it be that the matter of Ye Shengxue was unrelated to the Demon Cult?
Then who had controlled Ye Shengxue’s mind?
But for now, Fang Yu didn’t dwell on it.
“Since you know my name, why don’t you know what I’ve done?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.
“Of course I know what you’ve done,” Lady Sha’s smile remained. “The newly promoted Martial Saint Chen Luo was defeated and killed by you in public… Perhaps many haven’t seen you in person, but they’ve certainly heard the name ‘Fang Yu’.”
“So, why are you still looking for trouble with me?” Fang Yu asked.
“Because Chen Luo isn’t strong in my eyes,” Lady Sha’s smile grew brighter, but the coldness in her eyes made her smile appear eerie.
The so-called Martial Saint was merely at the Nascent Soul stage.
In her eyes, someone like Chen Luo who had just reached the Nascent Soul stage with unstable cultivation was nothing.
Only those frogs in a well outside would be so shocked by Fang Yu defeating someone at early Nascent Soul stage.
“Well, you seem very confident,” Fang Yu smiled and said, “Since you know my name, I should at least know yours, right?”
“Of course, you’re already a dead man anyway,” Lady Sha let out a feminine laugh and said, “My name is Sha Hong, one of the leaders of the Demon Cult’s Xiang City branch.”
“Xiang City branch, one of the leaders… It sounds like your Demon Cult is developing well, with quite a scale,” Fang Yu said.
“Every piece of information you know is enough to warrant your death,” Sha Hong said as her right hand formed a claw, her fingernails glowing red and rapidly growing, becoming as sharp as daggers.
As she prepared to attack, Sha Hong frowned deeply.
She had just used true qi to amplify her voice, alerting her subordinates downstairs, so why was there no response from them?
“Bang!”
At this moment, there was a sound from the balcony on the third floor.
Another figure walked in from outside the balcony.
“Fang Yu, this is the last time! I, the mighty Batian Holy Venerable, have my dignity! You can’t always make me responsible for clearing out those small fry!” Lin Batian said angrily.
“Alright, this person is yours. Her name is Sha Hong, a leader of the Demon Cult,” Fang Yu said.
“That’s more like it,” Lin Batian nodded with satisfaction and stepped forward.
By now, Sha Hong understood that except for the subordinate beside her who was paralyzed with fear on the ground, all her other subordinates had been dealt with.
However, she had always considered these subordinates useless and never expected them to provide any help.
This outcome was within her expectations.
“I’m surprised the Demon Cult has survived until today,” Lin Batian said as he walked up to Sha Hong.
“Slash!”
Without another word, Sha Hong’s dagger-like fingernails slashed toward Lin Batian’s chest!
Lin Batian’s expression remained unchanged as his body suddenly erupted with true qi.
“Boom!”
The power generated by this true qi caught Sha Hong off guard, sending her flying backward.
“Crash!”
Sha Hong slammed heavily into the wall, nearly shattering it completely!
A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Sha Hong’s mouth.
Looking at Lin Batian again, there was a hint of shock in her eyes.
From just that one strike, she knew that Lin Batian’s cultivation was not below hers, but even stronger!
Lin Batian’s cultivation level was likely above Nascent Soul stage!
Sha Hong’s expression changed rapidly, and she quickly made a decision.
She lightly tapped the storage bag at her waist, producing a pill in her hand, which she immediately swallowed.
The moment she swallowed the pill, Sha Hong’s eyes widened, filling with bloodshot veins.
Strands of black qi erupted from her body, swirling around her.
“Boom!”
With an explosive sound, Sha Hong’s aura suddenly surged, increasing in strength by more than one level!
“Ahhh…”
She gritted her teeth, letting out a roar from her throat, clenching her fists as her aura rose to the extreme.
The entire building shook violently!
In just a few seconds, Sha Hong’s cultivation aura rose from late Nascent Soul stage to Void Transformation stage!
“As expected of an evil cultivator, daring to take such a pill that forces growth,” Lin Batian’s hand flashed with white light, producing a paper fan. “It’s been a long time since I’ve fought an evil cultivator. I hope you can bring me some entertainment.”
