Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 336: A Gentleman’s Revenge Should Be Taken Immediately

Fang Chen naturally recognized the Golden Core Realm cultivator, having met him at the Profound Void Temple, though this was the latter’s first time seeing him.

The Fang Family’s Golden Core Realm cultivator was surprised. ”What? This kid is from our family?”

The Jue Clan’s Golden Core Realm cultivator’s face immediately darkened. If the person who cracked open the Immortal Origin Stone was from the Fang Family, then he most certainly wouldn’t be able to get his hands on the mid-grade spirit stone.

Fang Jue hurriedly explained, ”Elder, Fang Chen is a junior from a side branch who has just recently returned to our family. I brought him out to the Immortal Origin District with me today.”

”Hahaha, good, good!” The Fang Clan ancestor laughed heartily and then turned to Fang Chen, saying, ”Youngster, since we are family, let’s not waste words. I’ll take this mid-grade spirit stone for ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.”

”Then I’ll sell it to you, Elder.” Fang Chen nodded, handing the mid-grade spirit stone to the Fang Family ancestor.

The Fang Family ancestor was taken aback at how readily Fang Chen had proffered it to him, so he couldn’t help but jest, ”You’re giving it to me just like that? Aren’t you afraid I won’t give you the low-grade spirit stones?”

Fang Chen smiled lightly. ”With my cultivation, how can I stop you from taking it even if you wanted to, Elder?”

”That’s interesting.” The Fang Clan ancestor chuckled. ”Ten thousand low-grade spirit stones isn’t a small sum. I was initially worried that you wouldn’t want to wait for me for a few days so I could prepare them, but it doesn’t seem like that will be a problem. I’ll prepare them and personally deliver them to you in three days.”

With that said, the ancestor intended to leave, but he suddenly turned back to Fang Chen, his brow slightly furrowed. ”What’s wrong with your eyes? Open them and let me take a look.”

Fang Chen thought about it for a moment before slowly opening his eyes.

For the first time, his gray-white pupils were revealed to everyone present.

For some reason, when everyone saw these pupils, a sense of unease arose in their hearts. Only Xia Ji’s expression loosened up.

He knew how Fang Chen became blind and how difficult Fang Chen’s life was during those years.

Fortunately, hardship has turned into happiness, and everything was developing in a positive direction!

The Fang Family ancestor sneered after just a look. ”This injury... the one who blinded you deliberately targeted your eyes. Tell me who it was and I’ll take care of it!”

Fang Chen was taken aback. Was he supposed to tell the Fang Family ancestor that he had gone blind because he saw the fairy in the blazing sun?

It looked like the family ancestor wanted to help him seek revenge, but still, even if he was a Golden Core Realm expert, there was still a huge chasm between him and that fairy.

”The one who injured me has already died by my sword,” said Fang Chen softly.

”Good. It’s best to take revenge with your own hands,” the Fang Family ancestor chuckled. ”You’ve just arrived at the family, so there may be a few things that you don’t understand. Let me tell you one thing: a gentleman’s revenge is never too late. Remember this.”

With that, the Fang Family ancestor laughed heartily before disappearing into a gust of wind in front of everyone’s eyes.

Fang Jue and the others smiled bitterly.

Fang Jue quickly transmitted to Fang Chen, ”The Elder’s temperament is quite quirky. Just listen to what he says....”

After the Fang Family ancestor left, the Jue Family ancestor snorted coldly before turning to leave as well.

The other Golden Core Realm cultivators around didn’t have the confidence to compete with the Fang Family ancestor for the mid-grade spirit stone, so they dispersed one after another.

Finally, after they all left, the stifling atmosphere that had been prevalent in the district was lifted, and everyone was able to breathe a sigh of relief once more.

“We should leave too,” said Fang Lingxing, coldly glancing at Wu Ruochou and Xia Ji. She then looked at Fang Chen, Fang Jue, and the others. After a moment, she beckoned to the young man beside her and turned to leave.

”Friend, if you come to the Immortal Origin District next time, remember to visit the Jade River Pavilion. I’ll be there to welcome you,” said the young man, leaving Fang Chen a friendly remake before turning to leave with Fang Lingxing.

”So he’s the young master of the Jade River Pavilion. No wonder he looked familiar.”

”The Jade River Pavilion is one of the three major Immortal Origin businesses in the Immortal Origin District.”

The eyes of the crowd shifted slightly.

Was thing young master trying to get close to Fang Chen because he noticed something about him?

As this thought arose, the way people looked at Fang Chen turned a little wondering.

Suddenly, everyone heard Xia Ji’s hearty laugh, snapping them out of their reverie.

”Haha! Lin Yu, do you want to break your legs yourself, or should I do it for you?”

The bet was settled, and now it was time to fulfill it.

Before Lin Yu could speak, Little Sword turned into a flash of lightning and directly shattered Lin Yu’s kneecaps.

Screaming in pain, Lin Yu fell to the ground. The young men and women around him quickly squatted down to check on his injuries.

The guards of the Great Qian who witnessed this scene exchanged glances. They gave Fang Chen one final look before leaving to continue patrolling.

Regardless of whether the two had made a bet, just the fact that the Golden Core Realm cultivator from the Fang Family had made an appearance was enough to make them turn a blind eye to whatever was happening.

Lin Yu’s face had turned deathly pale, and he lowered his head as he sat on the floor in pain, his eyes full of deep-seated hatred.

He felt hateful toward Xia Ji and Fang Chen. And he deeply resented Fang Lingxing for what she did to him. She had used him before throwing him to the dogs!

After a few breaths, the crowd suddenly parted, revealing a middle-aged man accompanied by a group of attendants.

”Dad...” Lin Yu was surprised. ”Why are you here?”

The middle-aged man stooped down to check on his son’s injuries. ”Your bones have been shattered, but it’s not a big deal. Rest for ten to fifteen days and you’ll be fine.”

After saying that, he ignored Lin Yu and glanced over at Fang Chen and the rest, smiled, and said, ”I’ll be taking my child with me if there’s nothing else?”

”Please go ahead,” replied Fang Chen lightly.

The middle-aged man ordered his subordinates to take Lin Yu away. As they walked out of the Immortal Origin District, he suddenly stopped and turned to look in Fang Chen’s direction.

After a long gaze that lasted several breaths, he turned and left with his men.

”That was the head of the Lin Family,” Xia Ji transmitted to Fang Chen while looking at the departing figures. ”Be more careful from now on. Although he’s only at the Foundation Building Realm, I’ve heard that his methods aren’t simple.”

Fang Chen nodded lightly. ”No problem.”

The head of the Lin family should be at the mid-stage of the Foundation Building Realm, which definitely wasn’t weak; however, in Fang Chen’s eyes, such cultivation meant that he was only a target for sword practice.

Seeing more and more people gathering around, Fang Jue couldn’t help but say, ”Fang Chen, should we leave? It doesn’t seem like we should continue to wander around today.”

”Fang Da, there’s no need to wait for us. You can head back first. My sister and I are going back to the Profound Void Temple,” said Xia Ji. ”I heard that there will be a minor competition among the three branches tomorrow. We will come to join the fun.”

Fang Chen smiled and nodded. ”Okay.”

Fang Hao’s expression changed slightly when he heard about the competition, and he immediately avoided making eye contact with Fang Chen after recalling what he had just said.

Upon returning to the Fang family’s residence, everyone remained silent except for Fang Jue, who was very interested in the Immortal Origin Fang Chen had cracked open, and he repeatedly and excitedly kept talking about today’s events.

”Fang Chen, your achievement will be recorded in the history of the Immortal Origin District. It’s unlikely that anyone will surpass it for one or two hundred years. You’ll become famous in the Immortal Origin District,” said Fang Jue.

Fang Chen smiled and said, ”It’s just good luck.”

”Luck is also a kind of strength,” said Fang Jue, chuckling. ”I wish I had your luck, mine always falls short.” He paused for a moment then changed the subject. ”About what Fang Hao said to you... I apologize on his behalf. Can you overlook it? After all, the three branches are not big, and if he keeps avoiding you... it’ll be very troublesome for him.”

”Elder Brother, please don’t plead for me. I will do what I said,” said Fang Hao, unable to help himself.

Fang Chen smiled. ”I’ll take your word for it.”

Fang Jue felt relieved and smiled warmly, patting Fang Chen’s shoulder. ”That’s how it should be. The descendants of our three branches should support each other.”

Both of them seemed to not take Fang Hao too seriously.

Fang Hao couldn’t help but sigh when he saw that, and his resistance and dissatisfaction toward Fang Chen unconsciously faded a little.
