Chapter 923 Complete Erasure
In the northwestern part of Beidu, there was an undeveloped suburban area.
In a place like Beidu where land was extremely valuable, undeveloped areas were rare.
But here, an almost pristine forest remained.
Passing through this forest and continuing north for some distance, one would approach the far northern region.
Few people knew that on the western side of this forest, there was a large compound.
The exterior of this compound was very dilapidated, especially the surrounding wall, where most of the bricks were exposed and covered with moss in various places.
From any perspective, this compound looked like an abandoned building where no one could possibly live.
But at this moment, a figure walked through the entrance of the compound.
“Caw… Caw… Caw…”
As the figure entered, two crows perched on the wall let out unpleasant cries and flew away.
The person entering the compound was an elderly man with white hair and beard, wearing a simple and plain robe.
It was White Space Valley from the Sky Watching Bureau.
He clearly wasn’t visiting this place for the first time, walking straight ahead into the interior of the compound.
Entering the inner hall, he saw a figure with their back turned.
This was a small, hunchbacked elderly person.
At this moment, the elderly person had their back to White Space Valley, sitting on a bamboo chair, looking at a portrait.
White Space Valley walked forward, standing behind the elderly person, looking at the portrait in their hands with a slight movement in his eyes.
He was very familiar with the person in the portrait, having met them just a few days ago and even played several games of chess with them.
It was Fang Yu.
“Immortal Xiu, I’ve arrived,” White Space Valley said.
The elderly person referred to as Immortal Xiu continued looking at the portrait without turning around and asked, “How is the investigation going?”
“Still no results. That person’s movements are extremely mysterious, and their identity is difficult to determine. Even knowing their appearance, we can’t track them down,” White Space Valley answered. “It’s as if… they suddenly appeared out of nowhere at some point in time.”
Immortal Xiu was silent for a moment, then said, “Consecutively taking three ancient relic inheritances… we must identify them. They have already affected our plans.”
“Everyone at the Sky Watching Bureau is working hard,” White Space Valley replied.
“Only effort that produces results can be called effort, otherwise it’s just futile,” Immortal Xiu said calmly.
White Space Valley’s expression changed, and he opened his mouth but said nothing.
“And then there’s this person,” Immortal Xiu shook the portrait in his hand and turned around.
At this moment, Immortal Xiu’s full face became visible.
His face was covered in wrinkles, extremely old, much older than White Space Valley.
But the strangest thing was his closed left eye.
This eye was not only closed but sewn shut with black thread, which was extremely eerie.
“I’ve met this person,” White Space Valley answered.
“Oh?” Immortal Xiu raised his right eye to look at White Space Valley and asked, “What was your impression?”
“Previously, half a name appeared on the Immortal Communication Stele. I speculated that half name might very well belong to this person,” White Space Valley said.
“His name is… Fang Yu?” Immortal Xiu pondered for a moment and asked.
“Yes,” White Space Valley answered.
“When you met him, did you sense if he was using any disguise techniques?” Immortal Xiu asked again.
White Space Valley recalled the meeting.
When he met Fang Yu, he had indeed deliberately observed Fang Yu’s appearance.
But at that time, he hadn’t detected any signs of magical disguise or makeup on Fang Yu’s face.
“No,” White Space Valley answered.
“Hmm… no,” Immortal Xiu nodded slightly, folding the portrait in his hand.
“Collect all the information about this person for me,” Immortal Xiu said. “I, along with several other old men, are very interested in him.”
White Space Valley narrowed his eyes slightly and responded, “Understood.”
…
In the mountainous suburbs of Wen’an City in the central region.
In a valley surrounded by mountains on all sides, many buildings had been constructed.
But these buildings were only half-finished, not yet completely built.
At this moment, there was no one in the valley.
At the entrance to the valley, there was a stone monument with three large characters inscribed on it.
Purple Flame Palace.
“The location was chosen to be almost the same as before, quite nostalgic.”
Fang Yu appeared at the entrance of Purple Flame Palace and slowly walked inside.
Walking through the gate, the first thing that caught his eye was a statue.
The statue was pure black, depicting a person kneeling on the ground.
Fang Yu walked forward and observed it carefully, only then realizing that the person was himself.
“Quite elaborate, at least the face looks very similar,” Fang Yu evaluated in his mind.
Fang Yu only stood in front of the statue for a moment before continuing inward.
Then, he saw many half-built structures.
However, compared to the Purple Flame Palace of the past, the area of the valley was much smaller.
After confirming that there was no one in the valley, Fang Yu leaped up into the air.
Today, he would completely erase all traces of Purple Flame Palace!
Fang Yu rose high into the air, looking down at the valley below, and opened his right palm.
“Boom!”
Powerful true energy erupted from Fang Yu’s right palm, striking directly at the valley below.
“Rumble…”
The entire valley instantly collapsed!
The newly built Purple Flame Palace was reduced to nothing.
The entire valley, along with half the mountain below, became ruins.
Looking at the thick dust below, Fang Yu’s expression remained unchanged as he raised his right hand, activated the Void Spirit Ring, and disappeared into thin air.
…
Five days had passed since the Hundred Sects Competition.
“Mr. Fang sometimes goes out and doesn’t return for over a month. Miss Su, if you want to see him, you might have to wait for some time,” Ye Shengxue said softly as she sat face to face with Su Lengyun.
Originally, Su Lengyun didn’t know where Fang Yu lived.
But on the day the Hundred Sects Competition was about to end, she met a man named Zheng Ze.
After talking with him, Zheng Ze brought her to North City 101.
Then, she met Ye Shengxue and Zhao Zinan, and had stayed here for a full five days.
Su Lengyun needed to see Fang Yu before she could leave Beidu with peace of mind.
As for Liu Liansha and the other disciples, they had already returned to Huaibei.
“No matter how long it takes, I must wait for him to return,” Su Lengyun replied.
Ye Shengxue looked at Su Lengyun and, after hesitating for a moment, asked, “Miss Su, forgive my bluntness, but I still want to ask… what is your relationship with Mr. Fang?”
Hearing this question, Su Lengyun was slightly startled, her cheeks turning slightly red as she was about to answer.
“How did you know where I live?”
Just then, a familiar voice sounded from behind.
Su Lengyun immediately stood up and turned to look.
Sure enough, Fang Yu had appeared before her.
“Brother Yu, you’re back!” Su Lengyun said excitedly, walking up to Fang Yu.
“Why so excited?” Fang Yu looked at Su Lengyun and asked.
Su Lengyun’s beautiful eyes scanned Fang Yu from head to toe and asked, “Brother Yu, are you… alright?”
“Weren’t you there at the time? What could happen to me?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked in return.
“Then… where have you been these past few days?” Su Lengyun asked again.
“I went to Jiangnan for some sightseeing, to clear my mind,” Fang Yu answered.
“Clear your mind?” Su Lengyun didn’t understand what Fang Yu meant.
“You sit down first. I need to take a shower and change my clothes,” Fang Yu said, looking down at his blood-stained clothes.
After saying this, he turned and left.
At that moment, Su Lengyun suddenly noticed that among Fang Yu’s originally jet-black hair, there were now scattered strands of white hair.
Noticing this, Su Lengyun’s expression changed.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something.
But by then, Fang Yu had already walked away.
Su Lengyun bit her red lips, watching Fang Yu’s back, her face somewhat pale.
…
After showering and changing his clothes, Fang Yu returned to Su Lengyun.
By this time, Zhao Zinan had also arrived.
The Void Devouring Beast was lying on top of her head, wagging its tail, sleeping comfortably.
Seeing the Void Devouring Beast, Fang Yu suddenly remembered something and walked directly over.
“Brother Fang Yu…” Zhao Zinan looked up with a puzzled expression.
At this moment, Fang Yu reached out and grabbed the Void Devouring Beast that was lying on her head.
“Woof! Woof!”
The Void Devouring Beast seemed very unhappy, barking angrily twice and flailing its limbs.
“It seems to really enjoy being with you,” Fang Yu said.
“Yes, it does seem to particularly enjoy playing with me,” Zhao Zinan said with a smile as she looked at the Void Devouring Beast.
Zhao Zinan thought simply that the Void Devouring Beast just liked to be with her.
