Chapter 93: Shang Hongchen Venturing to the Heavenly Heart Sect

Fang Clan.

Fang Yue returned home, and was taken away by her father.

Father Fang stared at his daughter, his eyes narrowed, looking frightening, like a wild wolf in the mountains.

Fang Yue couldn't help but shiver; the father before her was not a father, but a demonic beast.

「Father—father? 」

「Enough, don't waste words with nonsense; you, hurry and leave Longshe Cheng, go ahead and register at the Heavenly Heart Sect. 」

Fang Yue, hearing this, couldn't help but stare in shock at her father.

「Father, daughter……」

Father Fang coldly said: 「There is only one chance; that old coot Shang Yingnian won't let you off easily—only by leaving Longshe Cheng can you survive, Yue'er, you must understand, everything you've done leaves a trace. 」

Those things she did, the things Shang Hongchen was tricked into doing by her, cannot possibly remain undiscovered.

Around the Fang Clan, many more pairs of eyes appeared.

One slip, and the Fang Clan could be wiped out; this daughter is their only hope—as long as she lives, Shang Yingnian dares not act, having misgivings; if Fang Yue died, the Fang Clan would also be exterminated.

「Don't doubt Shang Yingnian's abilities and methods; this old thing is very dangerous. 」

「Father, daughter……did things very secretly, he……」

「Hmph. 」 Father Fang gave a cold snort, ice-coldly saying: 「You're just too full of yourself; I warned you earlier not to meddle in their affairs, but you insisted—if you die, the Fang Clan will also be destroyed. 」

「What? 」 Fang Yue was dumbfounded, she looked at her father in terror.

These words, coming from her father's mouth, she had no doubt whatsoever.

Her father had never spoken such words before.

「Father, no way, the Shang Clan really dares to do this? I am a disciple of the Heavenly Heart Sect; the Heavenly Heart Sect will protect me. If they dare to exterminate my Fang Clan, that would be opposing the Heavenly Heart Sect, and the Heavenly Heart Sect will not let the Shang Clan off. 」

Father Fang smirked contemptuously: 「Hehehe, Yue'er, you're still too naïve; know this—you are not yet a disciple of the Heavenly Heart Sect, and the Heavenly Heart Sect will not protect a dead person. 」

「So you must leave Longshe Cheng immediately and go register at the Heavenly Heart Sect; only then will Shang Yingnian have misgivings. 」

「Father has already made the arrangements; hurry up and go. 」

Fang Yue hesitated and said: 「Father, daughter still needs to pack her belongings. 」

「There's no time; if you delay, you might not even be able to leave Longshe Cheng. 」

「Father. 」

「Let's go. 」

Father Fang saw his daughter off, then let out a sigh of relief.

「Yue'er, you must not die. 」

「The Fang Clan must not be exterminated. 」

……

Shang Clan.

Shang Yingnian's face looked grim; Fang Yue had run away.

His people can no longer catch up.

The Fang Clan can no longer be moved against.

The Fang Clan's reaction was swift; they actually sensed his intention.

「Old Man Fang, that old coot, lives up to having survived so many years—he's not stupid yet. 」

「Fang Yue has run off; she's probably gone to register at the Heavenly Heart Sect. 」

「This woman must not be allowed to live; the Heavenly Heart Sect is not easy to move against. 」

The Shang Clan's people can no longer go out.

Even if they went out, they still couldn't catch up.

Once at the Heavenly Heart Sect, Fang Yue truly cannot be intercepted.

By then, it would be outright opposition to the Heavenly Heart Sect.

If one's skill is inferior, the Heavenly Heart Sect can accept it, but if a clan attacks their disciples, they will face the Heavenly Heart Sect's thunderous wrath; Shang Yingnian dare not do that—countless precedents have proven this, and the Heavenly Heart Sect's protection of its own disciples is truly solid.

「Madam, go fetch Hongchen. 」

「Sure. 」

Jiang Luolan went to fetch Shang Hongchen, and Shang Hongchen saw her father's worry.

「Daughter greets Father. 」

「Please have a seat. 」

Shang Hongchen had just sat down when Shang Yingnian's voice sounded: 「Hongchen, you too should leave. 」

「Father, daughter……」

Shang Hongchen still wanted to stay two more days, not in a hurry to leave.

Shang Yingnian gave her no chance to speak, raised his hand, and interrupted her.

He gestured for her to sit down.

「Fang Yue has run away. 」

Shang Hongchen froze for a moment, then looked toward her father.

「She went ahead to the Heavenly Heart Sect. 」

Upon hearing this, Shang Hongchen was stunned again.

She ran too fast; the plan wasn't even carried out before she bolted.

No wonder her father is so worried.

「What does Father mean? 」

Shang Yingnian stood up and said coldly: "You also dare to go to the Heavenly Heart Sect, kill her as soon as possible—this is your mission, and also the final mission your father gives you."

"Father doesn't ask for anything else; only this request—can you do it?"

Shang Hongchen looked at the killing intent in her father's eyes and nodded: "I can."

"Good, this is the daughter of Shang Yingnian." Shang Yingnian looked toward his wife.

Jiang Luolan said: "I have prepared everything; the carriage is also outside; all the needed clothing, spirit stones, and so on are inside."

Inside a storage bag, there is everything—this is what Jiang Luolan prepared for her daughter.

After handing it to her daughter, Jiang Luolan instructed: "Hongchen, when you reach the Heavenly Heart Sect, do not act rashly; you must wait for an opportunity to strike. Remember, do not believe anything Fang Yue says—this woman must be killed as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, this woman will inevitably become a disaster."

"Daughter understands." Shang Hongchen took the storage bag, her figure slender.

Their parents' instructions—they both wanted to kill Fang Yue.

The two knew that their daughter's marriage to Chen Chuyang had surely been ruined by Fang Yue; at that moment, they harbored murderous intent.

Even if she fled to the Heavenly Heart Sect, the Shang Clan would not let her go.

Go.

"Daughter… I thank my father and mother."

Before leaving, Shang Hongchen turned around, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed.

After three kowtows, she turned and left.

Even the night could not block her departing silhouette.

Jiang Luolan watched her daughter disappear into the night, inevitably feeling some worry.

"Husband, do you think Hongchen can manage? That girl Fang Yue is no simpleton; our Hongchen is still too pure—I fear she will be deceived."

Saying this, she leaned into Shang Yingnian's embrace.

Shang Yingnian embraced his wife and comforted: "Believe in your daughter; she can do it. If she can't even kill a mere Fang Yue, she doesn't deserve to be my Shang Yingnian's daughter."

After so many years of cultivation, once she suffers a setback, she will quickly grow up.

Fang Yue, that girl, is merely a stepping stone for my daughter.

The Heavenly Heart Sect is not Fang Yue's heaven, but her hell.

In such a great sect, if one's talent is not top-notch, they end up as menial laborers or ordinary disciples, spending their whole lives that way.

Shang Hongchen's talent, even in the Heavenly Heart Sect, is among the best.

Upon entering the Heavenly Heart Sect, Hongchen's status will be very high—something Fang Yue cannot compare to.

Wanting to kill a mere Fang Yue is very simple.

"I just fear that Hongchen is too kind-hearted to bring herself to kill her."

"After all, Fang Yue is her close female friend."

Shang Yingnian, hearing this, fell silent.

He embraced his wife and patted her shoulder.

"Trust Hongchen; your daughter isn't that foolish—she can tell who treats her well and who schemes against her."

"If you can't even handle a Fang Yue, then don't talk about your daughter reaching a higher realm."

His daughter has great ambition.

Her dreams are also lofty.

"Her heart is higher than heaven; who knows if her life is as thin as paper—Shang Yingnian himself doesn't know."
