Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 18: No One Can Stop Me



Chapter 18: No One Can Stop Me

Whispers echoed from the surroundings. The servants and maids of the manor were shocked, as they had never known about the secret chamber beneath the fake hill despite having lived here for many years.

Ye Dongming turned to Ye Qinghe with a livid face. Only his son could have created a secret chamber under the fake hill without him noticing.

Yuan Zhuang was startled too. He had wanted to ask Fang Chen how he was going to prove there was a secret chamber beneath the fake hill when the latter utterly destroyed the fake hill. It was a relief they didnt forcefully apprehend him, or else he would have destroyed them.

Rectifier Yuan, Ill trouble you to open this door for me, Fang Chen said.

Yuan Zhuang first glanced at Ye Dongming to confirm he had no objection before gesturing to his men to do the job. Two constables tried to open the door, but it wouldnt budge. In the end, they had to draw their blades to chop it into pieces.

Xiao En, do you want to come out yourself, or should I drag you out? Fang Chen smiled.

Theres no need to trouble you. Ill come out myself, a forceful voice echoed from within.

A tall, brawny man slowly walked out from the secret chamber. He glared at Fang Chen with vicious eyes reminiscent of a wolf. It was as if his deep-seated hatred had turned corporeal in his eyes.

Xiao En really is here?!

The crowd was appalled.

The manors servants and maids might not know him, but Ye Dongming, Yuan Zhuang, and the others recognized him in a single glance.

Xiao En had inherited Xiao Tiancis talents, and he reached late Ki Explosion at a young age. He was famous among Greenpine Countrys younger martial artists, and it was certain he would become a Ki Control expert in the future.

Ye Dongmings complexion couldnt get any worse as he coldly eyed Ye Qinghe.

Ye Qinghe was covered in cold sweat, and his eyes swam around in a panic. He instinctively turned to the crown prince for help.

To think Xiao En is truly hiding here However, Minister Ye, I believe you have done the right thing. War God Fang had gone on a rampage last night, slaughtering Greenpine martial artists at a whim. With Xiao Ens survival, we might still be able to mend ties with Greenpine Country, the crown prince said.

Xiao En thought that he was doomed, but the crown princes attitude sparked a ray of hope in him. He turned to the crown prince and clasped his fist, saying, Your Highness, there has been peace between our two countries over the last few years. There might have been arguments, but those were small fights. Yet, Fang Chen slaughtered our Greenpine martial artists and killed my father yesterday. I fear this matter will spark a war between both our countries!

Rest assured, Xiao En. I have my eyes on this matter. The Court of Great Brilliance has dispatched men to apprehend Fang Chen. After we deal with him, Ill personally explain things to Greenpine Country, the crown prince replied.

Thatd be for the best. Xiao En nodded as he concealed his vengeful eyes.

He didnt want to reveal his emotions if he could survive this ordeal. He would be in danger as long as he remained in Great Xias capital. There was always a risk that the crown prince might renege on his promise.

The crown prince turned to Fang Chen and said, Stop erring, Fang Chen. Follow Yuan Zhuang back to the Court of Great Brilliance. I wont allow you to lay a hand on Xiao En.

Fang Chen burst into laughter. Your Highness, are you still hoping Greenpine Country will make peace with us? Haa, your stance matters not to me. I made a declaration yesterday, promising to purge the capital of all Greenpine martial artists. I am a man of my word, and no one can stop me.

Even me? The crown prince narrowed his eyes.

Boom!

There was a flash of lightning.

Xiao En lowered his head in disbeliefhis lower body had been charred beyond recognition. He let out an indignant roar as his life force finally burned out.

Everyone was flabbergasted. They hadnt expected Fang Chen to obstinately kill Xiao En despite the crown princes obstruction.

The experts guarding the crown princes side warily eyed Fang Chen as they instinctively took half a step forward to guard the crown princes vitals.

Yuan Zhuang, Id like to borrow your blade. Fang Chen raised his hand.

Yuan Zhuang snapped out of his daze and hurriedly handed his sword to Fang Chen.

Fang Chen took the sword and sliced off Xiao Ens head before carrying it out of the manor.

Outside the manor, there was a sizable crowd waiting for the outcome. Their eyes widened in shock when they saw Fang Chen walking out with a bloodied head in his hand. Whose head is that? Is it Xiao Ens head or does it belong to someone else from the manor?

War God Fang, now that you have killed Xiao En, Id like you to follow me back to the Court of Great Brilliance Yuan Zhuang said bitterly.

Fang Chen smiled. He tossed Xiao Ens head on the ground and watched as it rolled into the distance. This was the man who had suggested using the civilians of Great Xia as live targets.

I have exacted vengeance for you, but this is far from enough Fang Chen murmured.

Seconds later, he turned to Yuan Zhuang and said, Lets go. I shant make things hard for you.

Thank you, War God Fang! Yuan Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief. He felt so grateful that he would willingly call Fang Chen daddy in this instant.

Shortly after Fang Chen left with Yuan Zhuang, the crown prince left the manor too, and the manors doors slammed shut.

A martial artist mustered his courage to examine the head. When he saw Xiao Ens aggrieved face, he exclaimed out loud, Its Xiao En! Xiao Tiancis son, Xiao En!

The most arrogant Greenpine martial artist in the capital?

It really is him! I would have never expected our Minister of Military Personnel to be harboring a Greenpine martial artist. Hes not just going against War God Fang but all of us!

The crowd was riled up. A few people had already picked up the items around them to hurl at the manor.

Broil Xiao Ens head in a soup! My son is sick with his lungs. He might recover from drinking that! someone suddenly shouted.

All of a sudden, people started fighting over Xiao Ens head. They thought that consuming the blood and flesh of such vile people could cleanse away the demons plaguing their bodies. As the saying went, curb evil with evil!

Meanwhile, Ye Dongming had just received a report from a servant that someone had hurled an egg into their manor, and his face turned livid. He dismissed everyone except for Ye Qinghe.

Tell me, Qinghe. Just why?

Ye Qinghe gritted his teeth and replied, Father, this is His Highness will. Since Fang Chen sought to kill the Greenpine martial artists, he decided that he would save them.

Why does His Highness want to deal with Fang Chen? Ye Dongming frowned. Theres nothing to be gained from that!

His Highness wants the world to know that Fang Chen is capable of doing wrong. Only that can stop Fang Chen from rising up once more, Ye Qinghe grimly replied.

Is His Highness worried that Fang Chen will grasp hold of military power once more and threaten his position? Ye Dongming frowned. But the Third Prince has been held hostage in Greenpine Country all this while Does that mean hes about to return?

Most people knew War God Fang was on good terms with the Third Prince. When Fang Chen fell in defeat five years ago, the Third Prince offered to become a hostage in Greenpine Country. His only request was for the emperor to not punish Fang Chen.

If not for that, the Third Prince would have been the crown prince now

His Highness says that Fang Chen will do everything he can to bring the Third Prince back to Great Xia now that he has regained his martial cultivation Someone might already be moving in the shadows, Ye Qinghe whispered.

It looks like youre very scared of Fang Chen. Ye Dongming sighed.

Fang Chens means had traumatized Great Xias younger generation. As a matter of fact, it was the same for those in the older generation too.

If not for that, the crown prince wouldnt have started worrying about his position just because Fang Chen regained his martial cultivation.
