Chapter 850 Showing Off
After standing at the entrance of the Sky Observation Bureau for several seconds, Fang Yu wanted to turn and leave.
But as he turned, he caught a glimpse of a figure.
Shabby, tattered clothes, a head of disheveled hair…
It was the strange man he had seen in the small forest yesterday.
“He actually came too?” Fang Yu’s eyes flashed with confusion as he walked to the crowd nearby, silently observing the man’s actions.
The man walked to the main gate of the Sky Observation Bureau, didn’t push his way inside, and just stopped there.
“I am the number one on the Heaven’s List.”
Then, he opened his mouth, using true qi to amplify his voice, and spoke these words.
The sound reached the ears of everyone present.
Whether they were inside the Sky Observation Bureau or gathered near the entrance, all turned their heads to look at the source of the voice.
The man’s face was expressionless, releasing a faint black aura around his body.
At the same time, his entire person began floating upward.
Rising to about fifty meters, he stopped at a position where everyone could see him.
The crowd widened their eyes, looking at the figure in the sky.
“I am Long Si,” the man spoke again, his cold voice pouring into everyone’s ears like demonic sounds.
At this, the crowd finally reacted.
This man… claimed he was Long Si! The number one on the Heaven’s List!
The entire North Capital was still speculating about the identity of this newly ranked number one, and he actually appeared in person!?
What did he mean by doing this? What was he trying to express?
The crowd stared blankly at the figure in the sky.
“I came here today to give you all an opportunity,” Long Si continued. “Anyone who thinks I don’t deserve the number one position on the Heaven’s List can challenge me.”
With these words, the crowd below exchanged glances.
Was this person really Long Si?
What was he trying to express by saying these things?
“Nonsense! If you’re Long Si, then I’m Murong Jian!” At this moment, a man below shouted loudly. “Would the real number one on the Heaven’s List be as high-profile as you?”
As soon as these words were spoken, many people agreed.
Most powerful experts were low-key and modest. How could the number one on the Heaven’s List come to the Sky Observation Bureau shouting like this?
This person was probably just insane.
“Come down, brother, stop making a fool of yourself,” someone shouted.
“That’s right, if you want attention, don’t do it this way. When the people from the Sky Observation Bureau come out, they’ll punish you,” another person said.
Facing the various comments from below, Long Si frowned slightly, his killing intent slowly rising.
Right now, he wanted to kill!
Years ago, he had endured humiliation and fled North Capital.
The only motivation that kept him alive was to become stronger.
He had always imagined the satisfaction of trampling those geniuses under his feet once he became powerful!
Now, he possessed such ability.
Therefore, he didn’t care how high-profile he was.
He just wanted the entire martial arts world of North Capital to know who Long Si really was!
“Come down quickly, you fool.”
At this point, the crowd below had started to laugh mockingly.
The murderous intent in Long Si’s heart ignited, and the killing aura emanating from his body grew heavier.
Just as he was about to lose control and attack, an elderly voice suddenly came through.
“He… is indeed the number one on the Heaven’s List, Long Si.”
Bai Konggu appeared in everyone’s view.
Upon seeing Bai Konggu, the faces of the crowd below changed.
Bai Konggu, the only elder of the Sky Observation Bureau, was actually the helmsman of the Bureau!
He rarely appeared in public!
But this time, he showed up and confirmed the identity of the man in the sky.
Long Si… the man they had mocked as an attention-seeker was truly the number one on the Heaven’s List!
This was personally stated by Bai Konggu, with no possibility of error!
“My god… he really is the number one in person…”
The crowd that had been mocking and laughing moments ago turned pale.
They had ridiculed the true number one on the Heaven’s List!
If he remembered them… the consequences would be unimaginable.
“Young friend, if you wish to spar, please move away from the Sky Observation Bureau,” Bai Konggu said slowly after confirming his identity, looking at Long Si.
Long Si sized up Bai Konggu, his eyes revealing a hint of eagerness.
“Young friend, it’s best not to make too many enemies for yourself,” Bai Konggu seemed to see through Long Si’s thoughts and said, “Even if you’re number one on the Heaven’s List, or even number one on the Saint’s List, if you make enemies with the world, the consequence will only be an early demise.”
“In history, there have been many such examples.”
“Take care of yourself.”
After speaking, Bai Konggu’s form gradually became transparent and disappeared into the air.
Long Si floated in midair, clenching his fists.
For a moment, he did have the thought of attacking Bai Konggu.
But soon, he sensed an aura that terrified him.
His instinct told him that if he attacked this old man, the consequences would be beyond his imagination.
So, he restrained himself.
Long Si stood in midair, scanning the crowd below, and asked, “Is there anyone who wants to fight me?”
Below was dead silence.
After Bai Konggu confirmed his identity, who would be suicidal enough to challenge the number one on the Heaven’s List?
Long Si scanned below once more but didn’t notice Fang Yu, who had deliberately concealed his aura.
“Boring.”
Long Si flashed away, quickly disappearing from everyone’s sight.
After he left, the crowd below breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, the news of Long Si’s appearance spread rapidly throughout North Capital through word of mouth.
…
“So that number one on the Heaven’s List is the man from yesterday…” Fang Yu walked on the street, thinking, “However, this person doesn’t seem very bright… or perhaps he lives up to his name? His style is really exaggerated and nonsensical, somewhat similar to Lin Batian from back then.”
Back then, Lin Batian had also staged a show of forcefully seeking attention at the Hundred Sects Conference.
The consequence was that the Hundred Sects Conference was forced to stop, Lin Batian was beaten by his master, and he was punished with five years of confinement.
After that, Lin Batian remained flamboyant but restrained himself considerably, only daring to do things like flirting with the holy maidens of various sects.
“Prison Demon inheritance…” Fang Yu frowned slightly, muttering to himself.
“Woof!”
At this moment, the Void Devourer standing on his shoulder suddenly barked.
Fang Yu looked at the Void Devourer and asked, “Do you know the Prison Demon?”
“Woof!”
The Void Devourer barked again, wagging its tail.
“How strong was the Prison Demon back then? Are you stronger or is it stronger?” Fang Yu asked.
Hearing this question, the little black dog’s mouth actually curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful expression.
This expression was basically no different from a human’s.
“You mean it’s not worthy of comparison with you?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.
“Woof!” The Void Devourer wagged its tail proudly.
“The Prison Demon was the king of the Hell Tribe, and you’re just a little black dog that only knows how to wag its tail. What right do you have to despise others?” Fang Yu, unable to stand the Void Devourer’s pride, slapped it away.
“Whoosh!”
Two seconds later, the Void Devourer flew back, landing steadily on Fang Yu’s shoulder.
…
At noon, Fang Yu arrived at the Qi family residence.
As soon as he entered, he found that the main hall was already filled with people.
Like an auction, a platform was built in front, with chairs arranged below.
Was this going to be a lecture?
“Mr. Fang Yu!”
Just as Fang Yu was looking for Huai Xu, a delighted voice came from behind.
Turning around, he saw Qi Ruoqing, dressed in a long skirt, approaching with a radiant smile.
“Mr. Fang Yu, how did you come here?” Qi Ruoqing asked in surprise.
“Someone invited me,” Fang Yu said.
“Oh?” Qi Ruoqing was taken aback.
Today’s meeting was convened for representatives of various martial arts families, plus several high-ranking officials from the Martial Arts Association.
Fang Yu obviously didn’t belong to either group, so who had invited him?
However, Qi Ruoqing didn’t voice her doubts.
She was happy that Fang Yu had come.
This meeting had nothing to do with her anyway; she was just responsible for receiving guests, which was extremely boring.
With Fang Yu here, at least she had someone to talk to.
“What’s being held here?” Fang Yu asked.
“It’s a meeting between family representatives,” Qi Ruoqing said.
“Another family meeting?” Fang Yu was surprised.
Previously, he had already attended a family meeting as Fang Chengtian.
However, that meeting’s discussion topic was about the Half-Spirit Tribe and Dao Kong.
“What’s the content of the meeting?” Fang Yu asked.
“It seems they will discuss the location selection for the five-yearly Trial Conference…” Qi Ruoqing answered.
