Immortal of the Nine Realms

Everyone carried back Fang Chen’s corpse, and Dongfang Haojie immediately raised the Dragon Bone Heavenly Lantern and shouted to everyone, ”The battle between those in the Nascent Soul Realm is intense, be careful of the aftermath! Retreat!”

Everyone turned a little anxious. They quickly evacuated outside the hunting ground in groups. During that period, countless gazes fell on Fang Chen’s body. Some of them looked dim while others showed gloating.

At the same time, the sword wound on the chest of Kunlong Battle General continued to overflow with blood, and he was unable to stop it at all. Although his methods were strong, he was being suppressed and attacked by the three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators while injured.

Suddenly, a roar came from the sky. ”Kunlong Battle General, the mission has failed, we will retreat first!” ℯℯ𝑙.

Everyone saw the clouds in the sky slowly drift and several figures appeared high above, looking down at Kunlong Battle General.

”Amitabha.”

Kunlong Battle General chanted a Buddhist mantra and turned into a golden light, flying toward the horizon.

Seeing that Immortal White Tiger was about to pursue him, Immortal Void Rush reminded him, ”Don’t pursue a desperate enemy.”

Immortal White Tiger stopped in his tracks and glared hatefully in the direction Kunlong Battle General had left.

”Indeed, we shouldn’t pursue him.” Supreme Expert Dragon Wood nodded gently. ”If his accomplices are lurking nearby, chasing after him would be akin to walking into their trap. Anyway, the calamity in the Hidden Cloud Region has been resolved. Fang Tingyuan’s descendant is quite formidable. Those few sword strikes made even my heart leap in fear.”

Immortal White Tiger frowned, then turned into a stream of light and flew toward Fang Chen.

Immortal Void Rush and Supreme Expert Dragon Wood flew to those figures in the air.

Immortal Void Rush frowned slightly. ”Why are you so late?”

”We were delayed by the other side. It’s not just Kunlong who was cooking a scheme, but the Spirit Blood Sect’s Yulong was also planning something on the other side. Fortunately, we managed to stop them.”

”If they had succeeded in their plans, the Hidden Cloud Region would have truly fallen into calamity.”

”We still need to clean up over there. We’ll leave this to the two of you. Be cautious of Immortal White Tiger; we’re still not sure if he has any connection with the Spirit Blood Sect.”

With that, several Nascent Soul Realm cultivators left. Fang Chen saw that and felt astonished. Those cultivators should be from the Killing Spiritual Division. He knew that Immortal Void Rush was also from that division, but he did not expect the Supreme Expert Dragon Wood to also be a member of that division.

”We were careless this time. We really didn’t expect Kunlong Battle General to be so strong. In the end, his lifespan had been exhausted by a junior. Only then did we have a glimmer of hope,” murmured Immortal Void Rush softly.

”Amitabha.” Supreme Expert Dragon Wood chanted a Buddhist mantra and said softly, ”Fang Chen sacrificed himself to save countless creatures in the Hidden Cloud Domain. We should remember this kindness.”

”If Fang Tingyuan knew that his descendant was like this, he would feel relieved.”

Immortal Void Rush sighed softly. ”If he didn’t die, with his talent and character, he would have killed countless Spirit Blood Sect cultivators to stabilize the Azure Cloud Empire.”

”Destiny and fate,” said Supreme Expert Dragon Wood. ”This matter has yet to be set in stone. I wonder if those monks from Profound Void Temple were Spirit Blood Sect cultivators.”

“Kunlong Battle General is Chanyuan, and he was the only novice monk from Profound Void Temple who survived back then.” Immortal Void Rush sneered. ”Today, we can be certain that there were hidden motives when Profound Void Temple acted. Perhaps some of the people who Fang Tingyuan offended in the Central Continent came from the Spirit Blood Sect.”

”Immortal Void Rush, without solid evidence, our speculations are just empty talk. Let’s go clean up the aftermath,” said Supreme Expert Dragon Wood softly.

The two flew toward the direction of the inner capital, with Fang Chen following behind. Ever since he had executed that last strike, he noticed that his divine soul had left his body and couldn’t return inside. His physical body had completely lost its vitality and was unable to contain his soul. It was as if he had turned into a wandering soul.

Fang Chen’s expression shifted as a thought struck him. ”Oh right, Abbess Qing He can see wandering souls. I wonder if she can see me in this state?”

He found where Abbess Qing He was and moved to stand in front of her.

Abbess Qing He followed Fairy Yu and others closely, her gaze constantly fixed on Fang Chen’s corpse. Her eyes were red-rimmed from crying.

Standing in front of her, Fang Chen said, ”Can you see me?”

Abbess Qing He showed no response. She only looked at his corpse occasionally as she softly comforted Fang Qingyao.

Fang Chen furrowed his brows, lost in thought. ”You can’t see me? Then I can’t be considered a wandering soul. Just… if my body rots, where can my soul go? Will I just drift in the world like this?”

At that moment, Immortal White Tiger landed in front of everyone out of the blue, causing them to stop instinctively.

“Let me take a look at him,” said Immortal White Tiger as he intended to observe Fang Chen.

However, the female sword cultivator stepped forward and said in a hoarse and stern voice, ”Back off.”

Immortal White Tiger was slightly taken aback. He looked at the female sword cultivator with a hint of embarrassment. She belonged to the Void Immortal Sword Sect, and he didn’t dare to offend her.

Immortal White Tiger explained, ”Young Lady, I just want to see if there’s any way to revive him.”

Fang Tingjian and the others, who were initially wary, were surprised at Immortal White Tiger’s intervention. They knew that Immortal White Tiger seemed to have an issue with Fang Chen. They didn’t expect him to want to revive Fang Chen.

Was he telling the truth or not?

Fairy Yu quickly looked to Immortal White Tiger for confirmation. ”Senior, do you really have the ability to revive the lord?”

”Young lady, I’m not sure, but I saw him consume a Vajra Bodhi earlier. You should all know that this is a rare spiritual herb of the Profound Rank, right?”

Immortal White Tiger treated Fairy Yu with great respect because she was also a disciple of the Void Immortal Sword Sect.

“As everyone knows, once a spirit herb reaches the Profound Rank, it becomes completely different from a herb of the Yellow Rank. Simply put, this is something that cultivators at the Middle Three Realms would use. Even for us, it’s rare to come across a low-grade, yellow-rank spiritual herb,” Immortal White Tiger explained.

”Moreover, this item is extremely beneficial for demon cultivators because it can enhance their vitality. Why do demon cultivators have longer lifespans than human cultivators? It’s because their blood qi is much richer, and their foundation is incomparable to human cultivators.

”If he consumed the Vajra Bodhi, there may still be a trace of its medicinal properties remaining in his body. As a demon, I know how to activate these medicinal properties. Let me try to stimulate these properties. Perhaps it might bring him back to life.”

Fairy Yu turned to look at the female sword cultivator.

The female sword cultivator furrowed her brows and pondered for a moment before nodding gently. ”What he said makes some sense.”

Immortal Void Rush and Supreme Expert Dragon Wood descended from above and landed in front of Immortal White Tiger.

Immortal Void Rushed asked calmly, ”Immortal White Tiger, you don’t have any other motives, do you?”

Immortal White Tiger turned furious. ”Are you insinuating something? Although I have a bad temper, I know where to draw the line. Today, we were able to survive because of him! If my ancestors offended him in the past, that’s their business. Now, I owe him a favor, and that’s my responsibility!
