Chapter 696: Chapter 687 Fang Family

"Retreat!"

Chu Yi cried out in alarm, his body instantly retreating at high speed.

The remaining two Chu Family experts also hurriedly whisked their bodies away, not daring to linger any longer.

This youth in white was too terrifying, having effortlessly slain two powerful fighters at the fifth layer of the Emperor Realm’s peak.

He was like a demon, and the three of them, Chu Yi included, did not doubt for a second that if they stayed any longer, they too would meet an instant death.

Watching the three of them rapidly flee, Mo Wangchen did not pursue. He stood quietly in his original spot until Chu Yi and the others had completely disappeared from sight. Only then did Mo Wangchen retract his gaze.

"This... Elder..."

Seeing Mo Wangchen’s gaze turn to her, Fang Qingxue snapped out of her shock and spoke anxiously.

Logically speaking, Mo Wangchen appeared even younger than herself, so perhaps calling him an elder was not quite right.

But no matter what, in the land of Heavenly Gang, power was revered, and the mighty stood above all others. It was only fitting for her to address him as an elder.

Her heart trembled at the thought. With such dreadful power at such a young age, could he be a Divine Son from some Sacred Land?

But why did he intervene on her behalf?

After all, though the Fang Family was one of the two major families in Yedu City, they were quite insignificant in the grand scheme of Central State. A Divine Son from a Sacred Land was not someone they could easily provoke.

"Is this the Southern Region of Central State?" Mo Wangchen asked, wanting to confirm whether he had gone in the wrong direction.

"Travel about four hundred li in this direction, and you’ll reach Yedu City," Fang Qingxue responded cautiously. "Yedu City is on the edge of the Southern Region, so indeed, once there, you would be considered to be in the South of Central State."

She wondered to herself if he was lost.

However, considering the vastness of these mountain ranges, indeed, many had lost their way here before.

Hearing Fang Qingxue’s response, Mo Wangchen nodded and then inquired, "Do you have a map of the Southern Region?"

"A map?" Fang Qingxue was taken aback.

She quickly grasped what he meant. Generally, cultivators from Central State would carry maps of various regions.

Not to mention, if Mo Wangchen hailed from a Sacred Land somewhere, it was even less likely he didn’t have a map.

Now it seemed likely that this man in white was not from Central State.

With that thought, she continued, "I do have a map, but I am not carrying it on me. If the elder does not mind, you may come back with me to the Fang Family, and I will present the map to you with both hands."

Even if Mo Wangchen was not from Central State, to command such strength at his age, he must be a Divine Son from some Sacred Land in the eastern, western, northern, or southern Immortal Domain.

His status was esteemed, far beyond the reach of the Fang Family, and Fang Qingxue naturally treated him with great care.

Moreover, forming a good relation with such an individual could be a great opportunity for the Fang Family.

"That would be fine," Mo Wangchen nodded, not refusing.

Then, under the escort of Fang Qingxue and the two other experts from the Fang Family, Mo Wangchen started making his way toward Yedu City.

On the way, Fang Qingxue and the two Fang Family experts were extremely cautious and polite with Mo Wangchen. The ability to strike down a fighter at the fifth layer of the Emperor Realm’s peak showed that Mo Wangchen’s capabilities must have reached the Emperor Realm Great Mahayana.

Such power was not far from that of the current Family Head of the Fang Family.

Yedu City was a city of moderate size, neither small nor large, and it bustled with many cultivators coming and going. The opening of the Heavenly God Institute was imminent, and many cultivators were headed toward the Southern Region of Central State; most would pass through here.

"Elder, we have arrived."

The trio entered the city on foot, as suggested by Fang Qingxue. After all, it had not been long since Mo Wangchen had just annihilated two Elders from the Chu Family.

Chu Yi and the others would likely go back first, and the Chu Family would certainly mount a major response!

To avoid drawing attention, they headed straight for the Fang Family upon entering the city.

The Fang Family’s entrance was somewhat impressive, far more grandiose than other families in the city, given that it was one of the two great families of Yedu City.

"The two Elders, you may go and rest," Fang Qingxue said, dismissing the two Elders immediately upon entering. "You have put forth a great effort in obtaining the Spiritual Liquid from the Great Wilderness Dragon Python. As for Mo Wangchen, allow me to entertain him."

As they made their way to the main hall, many members of the Fang Family recognized Fang Qingxue and began to gossip.

Some of the younger members looked at her with admiration; Fang Qingxue was the top Talent of the Fang Family, soon to participate in the Heavenly God Institute’s assessment. She was the symbol of Talent and strength, with many admirers as a result.

Furthermore, as the young mistress of the Fang Family and the biological daughter of the current Family Head, countless young masters from Yedu City and nearby ancient cities had sought her hand in marriage.

However, Fang Qingxue had always refused such advances, citing the desire to enhance her strength. Marriage was not something she had time to consider at the moment.

In recent years, the Chu Family’s momentum had increased, surpassing the Fang Family. Fang Qingxue, being the Clan Leader’s daughter and the pride of the young generation of the Fang Family, naturally felt the pressure and had no desire to engage in romance.

"Who’s that following the young mistress?"

"Could it be another family’s member seeking an arranged marriage?"

Some of the younger Fang Family members frowned slightly. To them, Fang Qingxue was the family’s brightest jewel and common folk were not worthy of her.

Thus, those from other families aiming for marriage were often deprived of that chance by these young members of the Fang Family.

But now, Mo Wangchen was led personally into the family estate by Fang Qingxue herself. Could he have already won the young mistress’s approval?

Unaware of the speculations of the surrounding Fang Family members, Mo Wangchen accompanied Fang Qingxue into the main hall.

"Elder Lin Feng, please wait here," Fang Qingxue said. "I will go inform my father about our recent experiences in the Haowu Mountain Range and then retrieve the map for you."

Mo Wangchen nodded; Lin Feng was the alias he had adopted.

He had slain two Chu Family Elders, and the Chu Family would certainly not let the matter rest. Now that he had taken a stand for the Fang Family, it was clear that once Chu Yi and the others returned to the Chu Family, they would soon come knocking on the Fang Family’s door.

Having just returned to her family, Fang Qingxue naturally wanted to report the incident immediately, allowing them to prepare in advance.
