Chapter 250: Taking Sides and Bloodlust

~8 min read 1,414 words

"Sect Master, Fang Can is now being targeted by other nations."

Inside the Tiger Fiend Gate in Yanggu County, Li Fengtian received news from his subordinates, his expression somewhat worried.

As the young man he had recommended to enter the sect, he had actually been watching Fang Can's every step.

In just two or three months, this fellow, whom he could have crushed with one hand back then, had grown into a peer comparable to himself; it was impossible for Li Fengtian not to be shocked.

Now, although the entire Tiger Fiend Gate said nothing, they were all secretly watching to see what achievements this youth, who had been demoted from the sect by the Sect Master not long ago, could make.

"You see, I told you so."

Yang Duan, the Sect Master of the Tiger Fiend Gate, took a light sip of tea, his eyes holding a look of understanding.

"A character like the protagonist in these storybooks, killing his way along every path, brings disaster at every step wherever he goes, leaving the mountains and rivers soaked in blood."

"I have practiced for several decades and only reached the Second Transformation, yet he has caused trouble pointing directly at the Fourth Transformation in just a few months outside."

"If we keep him inside the sect, the Tiger Fiend Gate won't last even a day."

Yang Duan instructed: "You don't need to worry about it; anyway, with that boy's luck, he definitely won't die next."

"Besides, with our small arms and legs, how could we manage matters of the Fourth Transformation? Even if that boy Fang Can dies, it has nothing to do with us; we have already treated him well."

On the other side, the news that the Robbery Jianshan had sealed its gates spread immediately; the Great Expansion faction received the corresponding news almost on the same day.

"The Robbery Jianshan has already abandoned Fang Can?"

Hearing his subordinate's report, Prince Qing looked surprised; how could this surrender be faster than his own?

Originally he had been hesitating, but since the leaders had already made their stance clear, their stubbornness was useless; a Third Transformation's thigh cannot twist a Fourth Transformation's arm.

Having relied on the Fourth Transformation's breath for survival in the court for so long, they knew the three principles of staying alive in officialdom better than anyone.

Think of danger! Think of change! Think of retreat!

Of course, they didn't intend to kick someone when they were down; they were just preparing to go into hiding.

With this thought rising, Prince Qing immediately ordered everyone in the entire mansion not to go out during this period.

Not only Prince Qing, but also Old General Yang, Minister Fang, and others who had previously supported or helped Fang Can all fell silent, showing no signs of life.

The other Third Transformations, seeing their colleagues act this way, did not prepare to strike first for the moment, but let some of their subordinates' dogs come forward.

Although Fang Can now looked like a crumbling, dilapidated house that would collapse with just one kick.

But let others serve as cannon fodder to deliver that kick.

At this moment on the Great Chu Ancient City, Ji Donglai stood on the empty ancient city, accompanied by curiosity about this world.

"Sure enough, one can reach another world through the ancient city; next it is our turn to shine, damn it, blow up the entire world!"

Ji Donglai's lips did not move, but the sound came from within his body; subsequently, a hand extended from his chest pointing south, saying: "Li Huowang, Fang Can's location is in that direction; walk straight there, and you will arrive in about 7000 kilometers."

"Wasteful thing, don't running cost money? These are all strategic supplies for the future." Ji Donglai said viciously:

"See if you can borrow an ability after arriving in the other world; borrow a teleportation ability to take us there."

"Downstairs Li Huowang, since you said so much, we can only comply." Li Huowang said lightly: "But should we write a slogan or something?"

"What do you want to say?"

"Just that, since this is a team operation, naturally we need a slogan that will resound throughout the world, like 'I will form the tonsils' or some kind of combination slogan."

"Such a trivial matter is up to you; can you hurry up and go?" The F Superman inside Ji Donglai urged: "Damn Li Huowang, if you drag your feet any longer, do you think I will kill your whole family?"

"You have already killed them all; my whole family is now dead, terrifyingly strong with no weaknesses; please be aware of this."

Li Huowang spoke slowly: "It's not that I don't want to; there is a slight delay across one world; the superpower needs to fly for a while to be borrowed, with a three-second interval in between."

As the words were spoken, the youth around him underwent a change, transforming into a stranger, and then immediately led everyone away toward a thousand li distant.

At the entrance of the Fang Mansion, the originally bustling street was now silent; thousands of Imperial Guards surrounded the place, staring at the building before them with grim gazes.

"Upon report, Fang Can has colluded with a foreign nation's Princess; the Imperial Guards are now ordered to detain him in prison and interrogate him strictly!"

A general riding a tall white horse at the head read aloud, his voice echoing through the entire street.

As soon as these words were spoken, the street on both sides instantly fell silent; everyone waited for a reply from inside the mansion.

The residents hiding in the street were all stunned; Fang Can, the hero of the Great Expansion, colluding with the enemy? How could they have such a dream?

Where exactly did things go wrong.

Accompanied by this thought, the main gate creaked open; amidst the gaze of the multitude, Fang Can, dressed in a white robe, stepped out slowly.

"Where is Old General Yang?" Fang Can asked this question first.

"The General is ill at home, Prince Qing has closed his doors and not gone out, and Minister Fang returned to his hometown this morning to visit his family..."

The general on the tall white horse spoke like spitting beans, obviously knowing Fang Can's interpersonal relationships in Jingcheng extremely well.

Or rather, none of those who could cultivate to the Path to Heaven were fools; they only dared to come forward as cannon fodder after investigating that Fang Can was alone at this moment.

The people behind him had said that as long as Fang Can was escorted into prison, his mission would be complete.

With this certificate of loyalty, he would rise rapidly in the army next, with hope of reaching the Second Transformation, and even a slight possibility of breaking through to the Third Transformation.

'So, Fang Can, please do not resist; once you are locked in prison, it has nothing to do with me.' The man on the white horse prayed in his heart.

He had no grudge against Fang Can; he was willing to come forward this time only for the sake of profit.

So looking at the Fang Can before him, the man bent down and said softly: "Young Hero Fang, I am also acting on orders; please do not make things difficult for us."

"On orders? Whose orders?" Fang Can asked, but met with silence; saying it out loud would weigh more than ten thousand jin.

Glancing up, he saw that the thousands of Imperial Guards standing around were all at the Ninth Level.

According to what Prince Qing said originally, these Ninth Levels were ripened by secret drugs and could reach the Ninth-Level Realm within a year, but after ten years when the drug's effect wore off, they would become mortals with permanently reduced martial arts aptitude.

Besides these basic thousands of Ninth-Level Imperial Guards, there were also five Army Commanders at the First Transformation level hidden within the crowd.

"Truly... underestimated."

A sinister smile appeared on Fang Can's calm face; an invisible force field turned into substance and covered all directions.

"They clearly know I've broken through to the First Turn, yet they still came with so few people."

Fang Can's eyes were cold as blades: "I warned you beforehand; if you don't want to die, you can still leave now."

"Otherwise, don't expect to survive what comes next."
