Chapter 615 The Flood is Coming!
Hearing this name, Fang Yu’s eyes flickered slightly.
This was the alias he had used in Dongdu, and at that time, Lin Batian had also disguised his appearance, making him look quite rugged.
So, it was impossible to see any connection between Fang Yu and Fang Changsheng based on appearance.
And the things Fang Yu had done publicly under the identity of Fang Changsheng were only two: first, killing the Source Devourer Fu Yunhe at Wancao Gate, and second, killing the Source Devourer Yu Liuzhen at the Dongdu Martial Arts Association.
The common point between these two people was that they were both Source Devourers.
So… the fact that Zhao Jidao in front of him could call out the name Fang Changsheng indicated that he was likely related to the Source Devourers.
“I think I know who you are now,” Fang Yu said.
“It seems that this current appearance is your original look, Fang Changsheng.”
Although his neck was being gripped, Zhao Jidao showed no fear or panic on his face, speaking calmly.
“You’re controlling Zhao Jidao for what purpose? Just to investigate me?” Fang Yu asked.
Zhao Jidao suddenly grinned and said, “Fang Changsheng, you overestimate yourself. At most, you’ve only slightly piqued Immortal Daokong’s interest, not enough for the Immortal to specifically do anything for you.”
“Good, your answer is not bad. So you’re saying that Daokong’s control over the chairman of Xiangcheng Martial Arts Association actually has another purpose,” Fang Yu said calmly.
Zhao Jidao’s expression froze, realizing he had said too much.
While gripping Zhao Jidao’s neck, Fang Yu had already sent his divine consciousness into Zhao Jidao’s soul to investigate.
He had originally thought that Zhao Jidao’s entire physical soul had been occupied, but the result was not so.
Zhao Jidao’s soul was intact, without even leaving any traces.
This indicated that the other party was not controlling Zhao Jidao through a soul imprint.
This surprised Fang Yu somewhat.
There are many ways to control a person, but among them, soul imprinting is the simplest, most direct, and most effective.
As for other methods, they either work through the brain, control the mind, or rely on external objects.
These methods are generally less effective and have a chance of being broken.
And in front of him, Fang Yu could see the red light in Zhao Jidao’s eyes.
From his body, Fang Yu couldn’t detect any obvious abnormalities.
So, it was very likely that he was being controlled by some kind of mental technique that had taken over his mind.
“Don’t think you can get any other information from me,” Zhao Jidao said with a smile.
“I don’t need to get any other information,” Fang Yu also smiled and said, “I only need to know that you are one of Daokong’s people, that’s all.”
“No, I can tell you one more piece of information,” Zhao Jidao suddenly said, “The flood is coming! Immortal Daokong will be the leader of this flood!”
“Anyone facing the flood is as small as dust.”
“Wait and see, Fang Changsheng. You will eventually be swept away by the flood… of course, you may not live to see the day when the flood comes.”
After saying this, the red light in Zhao Jidao’s eyes disappeared.
Soon, his expression became painful and fearful.
“Master Fang!?” Zhao Jidao struggled desperately, speaking with difficulty.
Fang Yu observed Zhao Jidao for several seconds, then released his hand.
“Puff!”
Zhao Jidao fell to the ground, clutching his reddened neck, gasping for air.
“Family head!”
“Dad!”
“Master!”
The crowd of Zhao family members behind him, along with dozens of Zhao family guards who had just gathered together, all rushed forward.
“…No, don’t move!”
Zhao Jidao raised one hand, speaking with difficulty.
At this command, the people around dared not move.
Zhao Jidao lay on the ground gasping for breath, taking quite a while before raising his head and sitting on the ground.
All eyes around were focused on Zhao Jidao.
The Zhao family members were extremely anxious, their faces pale.
“Do you have any memory of what you’ve been doing during this time?” Fang Yu asked, looking at Zhao Jidao.
Zhao Jidao’s face changed, then he nodded and said, “I… was always clearly aware of what I was doing, but the actions I took were not under my own control…”
This feeling was very strange, but it was the true situation.
Zhao Jidao felt he had entered an extremely mysterious state, as if trapped inside his own body, watching his own actions like an outsider, completely unable to intervene.
“Do you remember when you were first controlled?” Fang Yu asked again.
Zhao Jidao frowned deeply, recalling that day.
Nearly two months ago, shortly after those berserk martial artists had been dealt with by Fang Yu, all the residents of the apartment building where Fang Yu lived had disappeared.
Afterward, similar incidents began to occur in various areas of Xiangcheng. Zhao Jidao was overwhelmed and was preparing to request assistance from the Beidu Martial Arts Association.
That afternoon, his office was suddenly intruded upon by a stranger.
It was this stranger who made a strange gesture at Zhao Jidao, after which Zhao Jidao fell into that bizarre state.
“Was this person a man or a woman, and what was the gesture?” Fang Yu frowned and asked.
Zhao Jidao tried hard to remember, but strangely, the person’s appearance and physique, including the gesture they made, were all a blur in his memory!
He couldn’t remember!
“I, I can’t remember…” Zhao Jidao tried to recall, but only felt his head aching, and answered with some pain.
Looking at Zhao Jidao’s expression, Fang Yu knew that this part of the memory must have been erased.
Since the other party could control the mind, they could certainly deliberately delete memories that might expose their identity.
“Master Fang, I deeply apologize for what I did before, but… at that time I truly couldn’t control myself,” Zhao Jidao knelt down and said.
Fang Yu had no desire to punish others.
“Alright, remember to send that He Chenchen to prison, that person has problematic thoughts,” Fang Yu said. “Also, you need to watch over your granddaughter, someone wants to abduct her.”
“The Devil Faction…” Zhao Jidao said.
“Yes, if they appear again, you can notify me.”
After saying this, Fang Yu turned and left.
Only after Fang Yu’s figure disappeared from sight did the crowd of Zhao family members dare to gather around.
“Dad, are you okay?”
Zhao Zuyao and Zhao Zuhui asked together.
Zhao Jidao was helped to his feet and said, “I’m fine.”
“That Fang Yu is too arrogant, he actually dared to lay hands on you…” Zhao Zuhui said angrily.
“Shut up!” Zhao Jidao said sternly.
Zhao Zuhui’s face changed.
“This is Master Fang! He can do anything he wants if he wishes!” Zhao Jidao said.
“I know he’s strong, but no matter how strong, how can he be so arrogant? He just grabbed your neck…” Zhao Zuhui said resentfully.
“Master Fang’s actions just now saved my life!” Zhao Jidao looked at Zhao Zuhui and scolded, “And you need to understand a principle: if you’re strong enough, you can do whatever you want!”
Zhao Zuhui closed his mouth, not daring to speak anymore.
…
Su Lengyun was meditating on the balcony of the apartment.
After Lin Batian repaired her meridians, Su Lengyun’s meridians became broader and more resilient than before.
And all the acupoints related to cultivation on her body had been opened.
Now, her cultivation efficiency was several times stronger than before.
During the month or so that Fang Yu was refining the Immortal King’s heart, Su Lengyun had successfully broken through to the Yuanying stage, also known as the Martial Saint realm.
This realm was what Su Lengyun had always dreamed of reaching.
Because when she first started cultivating, her master was a powerhouse at this level.
At that time, Su Lengyun thought the Martial Saint realm was the end of the martial path.
Of course, even today, Martial Saint powerhouses were top-tier existences in the martial world of the Nine Provinces.
But after Su Lengyun met Fang Yu again and witnessed his power several times… she knew that the Martial Saint realm was nothing.
That day on the Weizhen Platform, those thousands of fierce Immortal Race beings perhaps all possessed strength comparable to Martial Saint powerhouses.
But facing Fang Yu, they didn’t even have a chance to struggle.
After that day, Su Lengyun’s feelings were very complicated.
She found that the more she understood Fang Yu, the more she realized how vast the gap was.
Now, she felt she couldn’t even see Fang Yu’s back, let alone catch up to him.
At the same time, Su Lengyun felt very guilty.
If she had been more careful and hadn’t used those tampered spirit stones for cultivation, her meridians wouldn’t have been damaged.
