Chapter 364: I Want to Take Her Away, Do You Have Any Objections?
Upon hearing the words of the Jue Family's Dragon Guard, the people on the street were shocked and couldn't believe their eyes as they looked at the little beggar.
What did she do in order to warrant such treatment from the Jue Family?
Even if someone offended the Jue Family, they'd usually be killed outright.
If the Jue Family treated her this way, then they had to absolutely hate her.
Standing in the void and watching this unfold, Fang Chen looked at Jiang Tianai's expression before he turned to look at the tea house that was not too far.
Jue Feichen's face was dark as he looked down at Jian Tianai. "How about it? Still unwilling to hand over the Heavenly Supreme Pill Technique?"
Jiang Zhong was with them; however, he was restrained. His arms had long been cut off, and his nose and ears had been cut off, leaving him with only a pair of eyes and a mouth.
He looked at Jiang Tianai's current appearance with pain, regret, and heartache.
Jiang Zhong's eyes turned to Jue Feichan. "You people from the Jue Family won't have a good end" he cursed hoarsely. "Once upon a time, you were all just a bunch of servants of the Jiang Family. You wouldn't be where you are today without the chance of cultivation bestowed by the Jiang Family's ancestors! And yet, you treat us like this! Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"
"Divine retribution?" Jue Feichen's eyes were rife with cold mockery. "If there were divine retribution, how could your Jiang Family have fallen to this state today? Don't talk to me about divine retribution, it's not realistic. Let's talk about the present situation, shall we?"Jiang Zhong let out a cold laugh and looked mockingly at Jue Feichen. "If we hand you the Heavenly Supreme Pill Technique, the young lady will undoubtedly die. As long as you don't obtain this technique, you won't bear to kill the young lady. As for my life, it's of no concern to you, right?"
Jue Feichen lightly said, "Do you have the heart to watch her suffer like this? Even if we don't kill her, we have many ways to keep her tortured for a lifetime. I can even feed her pills that will increase her lifespan so she suffers more."
Jiang Zhong's face turned pale as he imagined the scene. He gritted his teeth and said, "Suffering is better than death. Your Old Ancestor is reaching the end of his lifespan, isn't he? You want the Heavenly Supreme Pill technique so you can recreate the legendary divine pill extend his lifespan and defy the heavens, right? Well, you can dream on!"
"Alright then, today I'll let you see what kind of suffering you've made Jiang Tianai endure. I’ll let you watch for a year, ten years, a hundred years," said Jue Feichen, smirking. "As long as she stays in the capital, no one can change this."
Suddenly, Jue Feichen frowned and looked in the direction of Jiang Tianai.
Jiang Zhong, who had just been about to curse Jue Feichen, also paused momentarily. A sliver of excitement had appeared in his eyes before it dimmed back down.
They were in the capital city. Even if someone pitied Jiang Tianai, they couldn't change the Jue Family's decision. The woman just now was an example.
Fang Chen walked through the crowd and approached Jiang Tianai. With a wave of his hand, the wood elemental energy in the air slowly condensed and enveloped her.
She began to heal at a visible speed.
This cold sensation made Jiang Tianai close her eyes in comfort.
The middle-aged man became furious. He couldn't help but wonder if he wasn't harsh enough with his words already!
The crowd was astonished. They stared at Fang Chen with shock.
Up in the Spring Dawn Tower, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
When did Fang Chen leave? And why was he meddling in the Jue Family’s affairs?
Jue Wudi frowned slightly, then slowly relaxed and said lightly, "Although I don't agree with passing down hatred to the next generation, this is the decision of our Jue Family ancestors. If Fang Chen wants to intervene, he will suffer for this."
Everyone nodded.
This junior of the Fang Family had garnered a bit of a reputation and already became so arrogant. He was really courting death if he wanted to meddle in the Jue Family's affairs.
"You really have the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard for you to dare meddle in the Jue Family's affairs!" said the middle-aged man angrily as he delivered a slap toward Fang Chen's face.
The spiritual energy around him surged violently and became extremely ferocious.
Fang Chen just glanced at him. "Get lost."
Before the middle-aged man could react, a golden-armored warrior had already materialized and grabbed his head tightly. Then, with a fierce swing, it tossed the middle-aged man hundreds of feet away. He flew in the air before crashing heavily on the ground.
The armored warrior had broken the protective spiritual energy barrier around the middle-aged man easily. Although he was in the 12th stage of the Qi Refining Realm, his physical body wasn't anything special, so the impact had almost knocked him out cold. He was barely able to crawl up to his feet after a while.
The crowd was stunned. Not only did Fang Chen meddle in the Jue Family's affairs, but he also dared to attack the Jue Family's Dragon Guard!
One of the people at the Spring Dawn tower looked at Jue Wudi, feeling indignant. "This guy clearly doesn't put the Jue Family in his at all! He even dared to attack a Jue Family cultivator. Senior Brother Jue, do you want to take action?"
"This matter will be dealt with by someone else, there's no need for us to do anything," said Jue Wudi lightly as he shook his head. The way he looked at Fang Chen had turned even more stern.
Fang Lingxing's expression was complicated. She had been lost to Fang Chen when it came to mastery over the Five Elements technique. She believed that, if it weren't for this one technique where he triumphed over her, she would've easily been able to defeat him.
"His control over the Five Elements technique is just…." Qian Feng sighed with some admiration. "For him to be able to refine his control over the metal elemental energy to this degree means that… he’s probably unmatched in his generation."
Master Wu suddenly realized that Fang Chen was not only skilled at Immortal Origin Stones, but he also had strong combat capabilities!
Clap
Clap!
Clap!
Suddenly, applause echoed in the air as more than ten figures appeared. Most of them exuded the aura of the 12th stage of the Qi Refining Realm. One of them was even in the Foundation Building Realm.
The Foundation Building Realm cultivator was the one clapping as he closed in on Fang Chen and Jiang Tianai with the rest.
He ordered his men to clear out the area before he lightly said, "Young man, you have great courage, but do you know that you've just brought upon yourself a huge disaster?"
Fang Chen smiled. "Oh? What huge disaster?"
The wood elemental energy continued to circulate around Jiang Tianai. Her injuries were mostly healed now. The remaining internal injuries needed to recover slowly with time.
"She is an enemy of my Jue Family, and you intervened in the affairs of my Jue Family, injuring one of our Dragon Guards. Tell me, isn't this a disaster? Which family are you from? Perhaps your family will have to pay a painful price because of you," said the Jue Family Foundation Building Realm cultivator menacingly, his nose in the air.
He was looking at Fang Chen as if he was a dead man already.
"My name is Fang Chen," said Fang Chen lightly.
The onlookers were stunned. He's someone from the Fang Family? No wonder he dared to help her!
"Could he be the one who returned to the Fang Family just recently? Fang Chen?"
"That should be him. He easily defeated someone at the 12th stage of the Qi Refining Realm… He’s definitely the one. I heard that he defeated Fang Lingxing easily during the competition in his third branch.”
"He’s definitely among the top juniors in his generation.”
Whispers and murmurs filled the air.
The Jue Family Foundation Building Realm cultivator was slightly taken aback. The pride on his face faded a bit, and his eyes showed some uncertainty.
"You are from the Fang Family?"
Fang Chen spoke softly without answering his question. "I want to take her away, do you have any objections?"
