I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1286: Chapter 1286: Fang Qiong’s Revenge (1/3) Chapter 1286: Chapter 1286: Fang Qiong’s Revenge (1/3) Lu Changsheng had entrusted the Dark Domain to find the person who was forcing the Immortal Realm to extinguish the Mortal Realm.

Originally holding a bit of hope by chance, he had not expected to actually find a clue so quickly.

This also brought a slight joy to Lu Changsheng’s heart, as it was the only piece of good news in these days.

He hurriedly asked, “What clue?”

The Dark Lord gave a wry smile and said, “Don’t rush, this clue only suggests a possible connection to that person, and even if it is, it can only provide a direction.”

Lu Changsheng said, “That’s fine, just tell me, it’s better than having nothing at all.”

Upon hearing this, the Dark Lord nodded and said, “You should know about the Dark Rankings, right?”

Lu Changsheng nodded, looking at Liu Ziru who was beside him, gasping for breath, his aura feeble, sitting collapsed on the ground.

Liu Ziru had ended up in the Wilderness Realm and in his current condition because he had been listed on the Dark Rankings.

“What does this have to do with the Dark Rankings?”

“Come with me.” Saying this, the Dark Lord led Lu Changsheng to a cluster of grassy plain stone houses, in the center of which stood a dark black stone tablet reaching skywards!

This stone tablet was the Dark Rankings, and it bore twenty names.

Lu Changsheng looked up, finding his own name still in second position.

The first place was still obscured by clouds and mist.

The Dark Lord explained, “With your strength, you should definitely be in first place. However, there’s a special mechanism in this Dark Rankings: mystery.”

As he spoke, the Dark Lord waved his hand, and the thick fog covering the first name dissipated, revealing only one character.

“Chu.”

Looking at this character, Lu Changsheng frowned slightly and said, “Could it be that this is the name of that person?”

The Dark Lord shook his head and said, “It’s uncertain. This character appeared on the Dark Rankings at some point, and no one knows when. Even Old Yang couldn’t predict it, which is why this person remains at the top of the Dark Rankings. However, the Dark Rankings only feature people who exist within the Mortal Realm. So, we suspect that the top spot might be the person you’re referring to.”

Chu…

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, what exactly did this character represent?

“Is there any other clue?”

The Dark Lord shook his head and said, “We still can’t detect any information on this person, not even who it is, but it is currently the only clue we have.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Although this clue was not very useful yet, it at least offered some direction.

“Continue to gather information,” he said.

The Dark Lord nodded.

…

During this period, the Mortal Realm, with the help of the Immortal Realm, was quickly making progress in rebuilding.

The reconstruction of Azure Heaven Academy was not relocated elsewhere but took place within the ancient battlefield.

Once everything was rebuilt, a grand ceremonial reward based on merit would be held, and Ye Qiubai and many others’ contributions in this war were extremely significant.

Meanwhile, Ye Qiubai and the others had spent ten years inside the Portrait Of Emptiness, digesting the experiences and cultivation from this great war.

Everyone’s cultivation had greatly improved.

Ye Qiubai had advanced to the Peak Stage Divine Master Realm with a double promotion.

Hong Ying was at half-step Divine God Realm.

Ning Chenxin was also able to contend with the half-step Divine God Realm.

Blackie was still at the Intermediate Stage Emperor Realm, continuously stabilizing his bloodline during this time.

Shi Sheng had reached the Peak Stage Divine Master Realm.

Mu Fusheng… Mu Fusheng had found a place to cultivate alone, and even Ye Qiubai and the others didn’t know how much he had improved.

Mu Wan’er had concocted a large number of medicinal pills during this great battle, advancing her Dao of alchemy very quickly and even reached the brink of the Divine God Realm through the cultivation of the Pill Bible.

Little Stone had done the same.

After reaching the late stages of the Divine Master Realm, Fang Qiong went directly to the Immortal Realm.

…

Within the Immortal Realm:

Lindong City is a rather unremarkable border town.

Here, there are only three major forces.

the City Lord Manor, Far East Sect, and the Cheng Family.

Originally, there had been four major forces, but the Fang Family had already been eradicated by the combined efforts of the City Lord Manor and the Far East Sect.

The former site of the Fang Family had now been transformed into a restaurant.

As the restaurant’s waiter was calling out to attract customers outside, he suddenly saw a man standing at the door, staring blankly at the building.

The waiter was slightly stunned and then cautiously approached to ask, “Sir, would you like a drink? Although our restaurant hasn’t been open for long, our drink is recognized as the best in Lindong City!”

Fang Qiong looked toward the waiter and then nodded slightly.

Seeing this, the waiter’s face lit up with joy, and he quickly made a gesture of invitation, saying, “This way, please, sir!”

Sitting down, Fang Qiong said, “Bring a pot of wine.”

The waiter nodded and responded, “Right away, please wait a moment.”

After bringing the wine, Fang Qiong stopped the waiter and asked, “Who is the owner of this restaurant? Tell him an old friend has come to talk.”

The waiter was startled, and although he looked somewhat doubtful, he still smiled and said, “Alright, the boss happens to be here today entertaining guests, I’ll go inform him.”

With that, he quickly headed towards the inner cabinet.

Not long after:

A young man dressed in luxurious brocade clothes suddenly appeared opposite Fang Qiong and sat down.

The man scrutinized Fang Qiong carefully and then said, “My friend, which old friend might you be? I don’t seem to have seen you before…”

Mid-sentence, the man’s expression turned to one of surprise and uncertainty, “Though you do look somewhat familiar, may I know who you are?”

Fang Qiong silently drank the wine in his cup in one gulp. His face filled with sorrow, he said, “This wine—its taste has changed.”

Changed?

The man was taken aback, then laughed proudly, “Of course, this wine was previously managed by the Fang Family, but since their demise, our City Lord Manor has reformulated it ourselves, managing to restore it to some extent.”

The wine was also a significant part of the Fang Family’s business.

The Fang Family’s wine was not only famous in Lindong City but was renowned in dozens of surrounding cities.

It tasted good and could improve one’s constitution, naturally becoming famous.

“Hmm, a poor imitation at best, I can only call it dogshit.”

Upon hearing Fang Qiong’s words,

The man’s expression slowly darkened, he stood up, fixating on Fang Qiong and said in a sinister tone, “Friend, it seems you are here to start trouble, and in this entire Lindong City, no one dares to challenge the City Lord Manor unless…”

Before he could finish, the man looked into Fang Qiong’s eyes which gradually widened, his pupils constricting and trembling!

Pointing at Fang Qiong, who had looked up at him, he stuttered, “You… you couldn’t possibly be?!”

Fang Qiong nodded, then sat in the wooden chair, clenched his hand in the void, the man’s neck was instantly seized by an invisible hand, slowly floating in the air. No matter how he struggled, it was useless; he could only watch Fang Qiong in horror.

Fang Qiong said in a chilling tone, “Start calling for help now, summon everyone from the City Lord Manor here, or else you won’t have another chance.”
