C2594 The Situation Was Reversed!
Before the black wolf even arrived, its urgent voice echoed through the air. Yet, within the formation, Fang Xiang stood unafraid. He had already begun channeling his power, the Thunder God Spell enveloping him, arcs of electricity dancing across his body.
In a flash, thunder roared above him, dark clouds gathering. A golden token appeared, transforming into a silver battle suit, his aura growing stronger. Facing Xing Tianyong and his men, he showed no fear, his gaze commanding and authoritative.
Having witnessed Jiang Fann's fearless battle earlier, Fang Xiang's own fighting spirit was fully ignited. With the Thunder God Spell activated, much like Jiang Fann's Devil God Spell, his state of mind and focus underwent a dramatic transformation. He seemed like a thunder god incarnate, his attire amplifying his power.
As he unleashed the thunder technique, the sound of thunder was relentless. The Sun Thunder Pearl materialized around him, instantly enhancing his thunder magic.
Crack, crack, crack—
A barrage of lightning enveloped the formation, forcing Li Xingchen and his group to retreat, unwilling to confront it head-on. The formation shattered, dissolving into spiritual energy and vanishing.
At that moment, the black wolf reached Fang Xiang's side, its silver form merging with his aura. The Sun Thunder Pearl absorbed his power, exponentially increasing the might of Fang Xiang's thunder magic.
Jiang Fann was quite surprised at this moment, clearly not expecting Fang Xiang to unleash such power. However, the two top-tier experts remained unafraid. Even though Fang Xiang, teamed up with the black wolf, was formidable, they weren't yet at a level to threaten them.
Nan Xing flew in, planning for the three of them to join forces, first to take down the black wolf, and then to capture Fang Xiang. Meanwhile, the storm unleashed by Fang Xiang had already enveloped Li Xingchen and his group. Within a few moments, Li Xingchen and Xing Tianyong had been struck by lightning several times, looking quite battered.
As the three experts from the Sui Tian Dynasty prepared to strike, Fang Xiang showed no intention of backing down, as if he had immense confidence in himself in this state. Just as the three made contact with the black wolf, barriers appeared, blocking their path. Not only that, but even Li Xingchen and Xing Tianyong, caught in the storm, were shielded from further lightning attacks.
These barriers puzzled Jiang Fann because he had encountered them before. Wasn't this the same barrier used by Ye Changtian? Despite being suppressed by Xiao Mo, Jiang Fann still managed to take a hit from Xiao Mo to free his hand and halt the battle on the other side. Xiao Mo struck with full force, and after being hit, Ye Changtian had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, clearly injured.
"Stop..."
Night Sky's voice, resonant like thunder, echoed throughout the valley despite his intense pain. Everyone was momentarily stunned, their eyes fixed on him. Everyone except Little Mo, who seemed oblivious and continued her charge, aiming to capitalize on her advantage. Her technique was ready once more, targeting Night Sky's head.
Night Sky awkwardly dodged to the side. Although he evaded the attack, Little Mo's follow-up kick landed squarely, sending him crashing to the ground.
Boom—
Just as Little Mo was about to pursue further, she heard Jiang Fann's voice.
"Let's pause for a moment."
Though unsure of Jiang Fann's intentions, Little Mo halted and joined him, keeping a wary eye on the dust-covered ground where Night Sky was rising from the rubble.
Looking over at Fang Xiang's side, Night Sky's barrier still held, separating the groups. Clearly, he had his reasons for maintaining it. Jiang Fann seemed equally puzzled by his actions.
*Cough, cough—*
"I can't remember the last time I was injured. Had I known, I wouldn't have come here to mess around with you all. Still, it's been enlightening."
He ascended into the air, swallowing a pill. As he channeled his inner strength, his aura steadied, and his vitality gradually returned.
At their level, healing was a breeze.
“Everyone, step back a bit!”
He directed this to the people from the Sui Dynasty, leaving the three experts puzzled. However, given Night Sky's esteemed position, they didn't want to offend him. Besides, with Li Xingchen present, they doubted Night Sky would back down and let them go.
Once the three stepped aside, Night Sky flew over, his gaze landing on Fang Xiang, eyes flickering with shock. Xiao Mo, with Jiang Fann and another, vanished from sight, reappearing in front of Fang Xiang, blocking Night Sky's view.
Xiao Mo spoke directly, “Old man, don’t even think about pulling a sneak attack. If anything happens to them or my master, I’ll settle it with you, life or death.”
She clearly wasn’t joking and didn’t mind adding a few more to her list of grievances. Night Sky, seemingly unfazed by her words, focused intently on Fang Xiang and exclaimed, “Thunder God Technique! Thunder God Armor! Sun Thunder Pearl! Yes... absolutely right...”
Night Sky’s tone was surprisingly excited, though the others didn’t seem to react much. However, the two experts from the Sui Dynasty at the ninth level of the Mortal Separating Stage turned pale.
What Night Sky said next shocked everyone present, including Jiang Fann and Wan Chengfeng.
Night Sky looked at Li Xingchen and Xing Tianyong, “You two, come over and apologize!”
The entire room erupted in shock.
Just as Nan Xing was about to say something, two people beside him quickly pulled him back, signaling him to stay quiet.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Changtian used his spiritual strength to pull Xingtian Yong and another person right in front of him.
The chapter isn't over yet. Click to the next page for more exciting content!
The two looked at Ye Changtian in astonishment, completely puzzled.
Smack—
Ye Changtian slapped each of them across the face, the sound crisp and loud.
Their eyes cleared up significantly, yet they still couldn't comprehend what was happening.
Meanwhile, Jiang Fann and Wan Chengfeng snapped back to reality, recalling something important.
The black wolf scrutinized Ye Changtian for a moment, then suddenly seemed to understand. It withdrew the spiritual strength from its frenzied state and said, "So it's you, the young leader of the Ye family. I didn't expect your skills to surpass your father's."
Hearing the black wolf's words, Ye Changtian quickly realized something and nodded in acknowledgment.
"Greetings, elder!"
That day, when Jiang Fann and his companions received their inheritance, they combined it with what the old wolf had told them and the information Wan Chengfeng had gathered. After the disbandment of the Ganlei Sect, many disciples remained, later forming close ties with various kingdoms.
Ye Changtian's ability to clearly articulate Fang Xiang's methods related to the Ganlei Sect strongly suggested that he had some connection to the sect or, at the very least, was aware of its existence.
As the night stretched on, Li Xingchen faced Ye Changtian, who said, "You and Xing's kid should apologize to the Saint now, then you can leave. I'll handle the rest. Otherwise, this situation will be beyond my control."
Li Xingchen had calmed down by now. Who was this Ye Changtian? A top expert, even among the strongest in his own kingdom's palace. His father had to show him some respect. If Ye Changtian was acting this way, there was only one explanation: he and Xing Tianyong had really caused trouble.
He glanced at Fang Xiang. Though he didn't understand why, he decided to follow Ye Changtian's advice. "I'm sorry, I was reckless earlier. Please forgive me!"
Xing Tianyong was furious. His temperament was different from Li Xingchen's, and Ye Changtian wasn't from his kingdom, so he felt no obligation to comply. Being slapped was already hard enough to accept.
"I..."
Just as he was about to explode, a voice came from above.
"I apologize on behalf of my son's recklessness and hope the Saint can forgive his previous offense."
A figure descended from the sky, exuding a powerful and righteous aura, with an imperial presence that matched Ye Changtian's. From his words, it was clear who he was: the emperor of Xing Tianyong's kingdom, his father.
Nan Xing was utterly stunned, unable to believe the scene unfolding before him. Xing Tianyong was equally shocked, his mouth agape, unable to utter a single word.
At that moment, the man tapped Xing Tianyong on the head and then grabbed him by the collar, tossing him to Nan Xing. The emperor spoke coldly, "Take him back. Confine him to the dungeon for ten years. Neither of you is allowed to leave during this time."
Though confused, Nan Xing knelt on one knee and respectfully replied, "As you command!"
The black dog eyed the newcomer, feeling a sense of familiarity, but couldn't place who he was. The most bewildered of all was Fang Xiang. The Divine Spell he had cast had dissipated, and his clothes, still bearing the token at his waist, hung loosely. He was well aware of the identities of the two masters before him and was surprised by their respectful demeanor toward him.
Xiao Mo was also taken aback by Jiang Fann, realizing from the atmosphere that the situation might be easier to resolve than he had imagined. These two could indeed represent the stance of the two great empires.
Seeing Fang Xiang remain silent, Ye Changtian spoke directly, "If the Holy Son finds our handling of the matter unsatisfactory, we can offer further compensation."
Fang Xiang, once a manager at the Heaven Pavilion, was adept at navigating complex situations. Faced with two of the most prominent figures, he quickly put on a look of being honored and surprised.
"You two are overthinking it. We came here to resolve this issue, and you both know the circumstances of the past year. Compensation isn't necessary; just ensure this doesn't happen again in the future."
Night Sky finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Holy Son, for not holding a grudge."
The emperor of the Suetian Dynasty extended an invitation directly. "Holy Son, I apologize for not greeting you properly upon your arrival. Since Night Senior is also here, please join us at the palace for a discussion. We have many questions we'd like you to help us with."
Fang Xiang was surprised by the invitation and quickly looked to Jiang Fann and his companion for guidance. Jiang Fann communicated telepathically, "Go ahead. It won't harm you. Even if they turn hostile, I have a way to rescue you. Remember the teleportation array I gave you? You can use it to escape, even from the capital, but it only works once."
He glanced at the Black Wolf, who nodded in agreement, clearly supporting his decision to go.
