Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 262: One Will Suffice

Fang Xiaotu The Spirit Heaven City Lord spent a moment in thought before nodding. He took another look at Fang Chen before continuing with a smile, We have hundreds of fellow daoists with us here today, each harboring the hope of purchasing the Spirit Heaven Sects location from you. May I know how you wish to proceed with the auction?

Meanwhile, the Flood Dragon Island Master assessed Fang Chen with mocking eyes.

He didnt think Fang Chen knew his background, but he was already certain of Fang Chens identity, even though Fang Chen had put on a mask.

Sword cultivators were so rare that it was unthinkable for two of them to appear in Infernoblaze in the same time frame. Without a doubt, this was the person he was looking for!

This was the guy who killed their young sect master and the Blue Mountain Island Master.

However, the Flood Dragon Island Master was in no rush to make a move, knowing that the Qing Province Sword Sects Long Tianxing would make a move. Since that was the case, he didnt mind using Long Tianxing as cannon fodder to see what Fang Chen was capable of.

The starting bid is 1000 low-grade ki stones, and each increment must be no less than 100. Theres no cap to the price, Fang Chen explained. The Spirit Heaven Sect has a 300 meters square large spirit field and a spirit spring. That should be ample for around fifty cultivators.

He made a dramatic pause before saying, If youre interested, you may begin bidding.

Silence followed.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, with most people eyeing the Qing Province First Swordsman Long Tianxing.

Looks like you have all heard about our first elders death, Long Tianxing impassively said.

No one responded.

The underlying tone was clear. The sword cultivator must first deal with Long Tianxing to prove that he was qualified to sell the Spirit Heaven Sects location.

Long Tianxing took his time to assess Fang Chen before he asked, Yao Danyou are the one who killed him, right?

Are you here to avenge him? Fang Chen smiled.

Oh? He doesnt look intimidated at all

He sounds confident Things might get messy here.

The crowd narrowed their eyes.

The fact that the sword cultivator remained calm despite knowing that Long Tianxing was at mid Foundation Establishment suggested that he had the means to deal with the latter!

Yao Dan is our Qing Province Sword Sects first elder. I wont let him die in vain, Long Tianxing coldly uttered.

The Qing Province Sword Sects disciples glared at Fang Chen.

I heard youre a sword cultivator. Its said that sword cultivators are devoted to the pursuit of swordsmanship, and they boast the number one offensive prowess in the world of cultivation, which is why they are both arrogant and self-entitled. I wonder how much of the rumor is true, Long Tianxing said.

Let me see what your sword is capable of. Ill give you a chance to make your move. If you can injure me in ten moves, I wont pursue your murder of Elder Yao. However

A vicious glint flashed across Long Tianxings eyes. If you cant do as much, it would prove that you arent a sword cultivator at all. If so, Ill kill you with my own hands!

Suffocating pressure emanated from his mountain-like stature.

The crowd understood that the sword cultivator would be dead meat if he didn't have the means to wound Long Tianxing.

Brother Long, why dont you leave this fellow to me? Xia Xuanji suddenly spoke up.

Startled, the crowd traced the voice and found Xia Xuanji.

Whos that?

Hes standing with the Spirit Heaven Sect. Is he the helper they found?

Its yet another Foundation Establishment cultivator

The crowd gossiped.

The Spirit Heaven City Lord took a few looks at Xia Xuanji, only for his complexion to turn grim when he realized that he couldnt see through Xia Xuanjis cultivation.

You are? Long Tianxing nodded.

However, he quickly understood what was going on when he saw the Spirit Heaven Sects elders behind Xia Xuanji.

My clan name is Xia. I came here to seek justice for the Spirit Heaven Sect, Xia Xuanji said. Brother Long, Id be grateful if you could give me the chance to do so.

The first elder and the others were overjoyed. They thought that Xia Xuanji wouldnt get a chance to show his hand today, and the Qing Province Sword Sect would steal the attention. Who could have thought that Xia Xuanji would choose to intervene at this moment?

As long as Xia Xuanji revealed some of his means before this crowd, the Spirit Heaven Sect would not only restore its honor, but its reputation might even be further elevated.

Oh? Long Tianxing narrowed his eyes. He took a few looks at Xia Xuanji before coldly replying, I have a grudge with him. He killed our sects first elder. Im afraid I cant pass this opportunity on to you.

Sect Master Long, that person wounded our sect master, and we still dont know her whereabouts to date. It was your sects Elder Yao Dan who landed us in this plight! Our grudge with him doesnt pale in comparison to yours, the first elder said with a cold voice.

The crowd was astonished.

How does the Spirit Heaven Sects first elder have the confidence to be so rude to Long Tianxing? They arent on the same level! Is it because of the helper they brought in?

Long Tianxing came to the same conclusion too. He glanced at the first elder but ignored him, choosing instead to focus his attention on Xia Xuanji. Brother Xia, are you intending to fight me first?

I wouldnt go that far. Xia Xuanji smiled. Since Brother Long is determined to exact vengeance, Ill hand the opportunity over to you. However, Ill make things clear first. The Spirit Heaven Sects location wont be auctioned off. Itll be returned to the Spirit Heaven Sect.

Many cultivators were livid to hear that. Some even grumbled under their breath.

They had rushed here from afar, and that took time and effort. Yet, the auction was going to be called off?

I can support you on that. Long Tianxing nodded.

Its over. We have made a wasted trip!

I wouldnt say that. This is a rare chance to see what a sword cultivator is capable of.

Thats true.

The crowd spoke among themselves.

Long Tianxing turned to Fang Chen and asked, What do you think about my earlier offer?

Young master Fang might be in trouble this time Abbess Clearlotus, who was hidden in the crowd, watched the scene with worried eyes.

Ten moves? That s too much. One will suffice, Fang Chen replied.

Wounding a mid Foundation Establishment cultivator in one move?! The crowd was astounded. This sounded utterly ridiculous to them.

Sounds like words that would come from a sword cultivator. The Spirit Heaven City Lord chuckled before turning to the Flood Dragon Island Master.

Disdain flickered across the eyes of the Flood Dragon Island Master. Sword cultivators tend to be conceited.

That fellow is provoking Long Tianxing! The Spirit Heaven Sects cultivators cheered in their hearts, knowing that Fang Chen would only suffer more as a result.

If only I was as strong as him, Ye Wenxiu stared at Fang Chen in a daze as he bitterly murmured.
