Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 417: Look, I'm Fine Now



Chapter 417: Look, I'm Fine Now

"Immortal Void Rush, when have I ever troubled a junior? Don't falsely accuse me," said the Immortal White Tiger in a muffled voice. "I just happened to take an interest in him because he is a descendant of Fang Tingyuan."

Immortal Void Rush looked at Fang Chen. A hint of surprise flashed in her cold gaze. "A descendant of Fang Tingyuan?"

After scrutinizing Fang Chen for several moments, she turned to Fang Tingjian. "Tingjian, is this young man truly a descendant of Fang Tingyuan?"

"Immortal Void Rush, Fang Chen is indeed a bloodline descendant of my elder brother," Fang Tingjian replied with a respectful salute. Then, he looked at Fang Chen. "Why don't you pay your respects to Immortal Void Rush? Your ancestor once practiced under her for several years."

The crowd was surprised. This was the first time they had heard of this. No wonder Immortal Void Rush intervened when the Immortal White Tiger troubled the members of the Fang Family.

Jiang Shun's expression became even uglier. Few knew that initially, this opportunity should've been his. However, Fang Tingyuan had taken it away from him. If it weren't for that, he would have been the one practicing under Immortal Void Rush.

Fang Chen's divine soul returned to his body, and he saluted respectfully. "I, Fang Chen, greet Immortal Void Rush."

Chaoxiang Palace's Mi Sheng was immediately enlightened. "No wonder he's so extraordinary; his background is not simple at all."

However, this made sense. Why else would such a formidable figure rise from a backwater place like that? It turned out that his origin was no less prestigious than hers.

Immortal Void Rush nodded slightly but didn't say much. After she took her seat, it was as if the incident just now had never happened. Immortal White Tiger also stopped bothering Fang Chen.

The Ancestor of Grand Qian noticed the situation and took on the role of the host, announcing the start of the banquet. The hall then became lively, with Golden Core Realm cultivators toasting each other, some even daring to toast to Supreme Expert Dragon Wood and Immortal Void Rush.

However, no one dared to toast to Immortal White Tiger. Fang Mosheng, accompanied by Fang Lingxing, squeezed their way to Master Chen, attempting to get closer to him.

Dongfang Haojie raised his cup and headed straight for Fairy Tianyin, only to be one-upped by Jue Wudi. When Dongfang Haojie saw Jue Wudi talking to Fairy Tianyin, his face turned sour. Equally displeased was Fang Lingxing, who had been keeping an eye on Jue Wudi.

When Fairy Tianyin appeared, Fang Lingxing felt a sense of crisis rising within her. In terms of both appearance and cultivation, she fell short compared to Fairy Tianyin.

Fang Tingjian, accompanied by Fang Jue, approached Immortal Void Rush and asked softly. "Immortal Void Rush, recently, I obtained an invitation from the Purple Pole Dao Academy for an apprenticeship. I plan to let Fang Jue participate in the assessment of the institute. Would it be possible for you to take him with you on your way back?"

Immortal Void Rush glanced at Fang Jue and then nodded with a faint smile at Fang Tingjian. "I will take him with me on my way back, but whether he can be accepted into the Purple Pole Dao Academy will depend on his own performance."

Fang Tingjian saluted respectfully. "I understand."

Fang Ao looked on from afar, feeling emotional. His eyes couldn't help but fall on Fang Chen. "This kid is too quiet, and he has an ethereal aura around him even on such an occasion. He's truly a cultivation gem."

At that moment, Fang Chen's divine soul had already left his body, standing above the main hall and observing all the cultivators present. If the Spirit Blood Sect were to make a move, it would probably happen at that moment. He wanted to see if anyone would reveal their true intentions. Unfortunately, even Tong Hu stood far away, showing no intention of approaching Dongfang Haojie. As for the others, their expressions were normal, revealing no clues.

"Something is not right."

Fang Chen's gaze shifted immediately toward Jue Wudi. He was the closest to Dongfang Haojie at the moment. But would the Spirit Blood Sect let a Foundation Building Realm cultivator be the one to take the lead in such an important matter?

Dongfang Haojie raised his cup and butted into the conversation of Fairy Tianyin and Jue Wudi, unable to bear seeing them talk so much together. "Fairy Tianyin, do you remember me? I'm Dongfang Haojie from Grand Wei."

"Dongfang Haojie?" Fairy Tianyin frowned slightly, then shook her head gently. "Have I ever met you before?"

The handsome young man beside Fairy Tianyin smirked faintly, looking at Dongfang Haojie with a hint of sarcasm. "My junior sister is chatting with Senior Jue. Your interruption seems rather impolite."

Jue Wudi smiled. "It doesn't matter."

Dongfang Haojie frowned. "I'm talking to Fairy Tianyin. What does it have to do with you?"

The handsome young man was taken aback, seemingly surprised by Dongfang Haojie's reaction. His gaze suddenly turned colder.

Just then, Dongfang Haojie suddenly sprayed out a stream of blood, directly splashing onto Jue Wudi and Fairy Tianyin's faces. The handsome young man reacted quickly, using his spiritual power to create a barrier to block the blood mist, preventing himself from being tainted with blood.

Dongfang Haojie covered his stomach and took steps back. "Ouch, it hurts!"

Jue Wudi and Fairy Tianyin stared at each other in astonishment.

"What's going on?!"

The commotion quickly caught the attention of everyone present. When they saw what had happened, their faces turned pale.

Fang Chen's expression twisted slightly. "This guy is bluffing!"

Dongfang Haojie had been clearly poisoned. But there were only two possibilities. Either Dongfang Haojie was bluffing, or the Spirit Blood Sect had brought in one of the world's top poisons!

"Young Master!" Nie Tianyuan exclaimed, quickly walking over to support Dongfang Haojie. Then, his expression changed abruptly, and he shouted angrily, "My young master has been poisoned! Who dares to poison my young master? If anything happens to him, there will be war between Grand Wei and Grand Qian!"

Immortal Tianwu's expression was extremely solemn. "How could this happen…?"

He was a cultivator of Grand Wei too and had heard some rumors about the Dongfang Family. If the young master of the Dongfang Family were to die in Grand Qian, then... perhaps, as Nie Tianyuan said, there would be war between the two empires!

"Was it you?!" Nie Tianyuan suddenly pointed at Jue Wudi. "You were closest to the young master just now. Did you poison him?! What are your intentions, Grand Qian!"

Jue Wudi's face turned pale, but he didn't offer any explanations. He only turned to look toward his ancestor.

A late-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator from the Jue Clan's expression darkened. "Friend Nie, do not falsely accuse our family."

They couldn't allow Jue Wudi to be accused of such a thing.

The expressions of the Golden Core Realm cultivators present became extremely serious.

The cultivators from the Chaoxiang Palace had already stood up and walked over to Nie Tianyuan's side, their expressions very grim. Just like the Grand Wei, the Chaoxiang Palace was also a part of the Hidden Immortal Realm, and naturally they would stand together at a time like this.

"Everyone, please remain calm. Let me take a look at what poison he's been afflicted with," said the Immortal Void Rush, a hint of imperceptible sarcasm flashing in her eyes.

Immortal White Tiger looked as if he was just watching a show.

Supreme Expert Dragon Wood recited a Buddhist mantra, "Amitabha, let Immortal Void Rush take a look at this young friend; she has considerable knowledge of medicine."

Princess Shenlong looked towards the Grand Qian Ancestor. "Uncle…."

"Watch closely," said the Grand Qian Ancestor calmly.

Dongfang Haojie, who was originally pale-faced and hunched over, suddenly straightened up, his expression becoming somewhat ruddy. He smiled at Nie Tianyuan and said, "Uncle Nie, don't be so nervous. The Dongfang Family's constitution is special. How can I be so easily poisoned to death? Look, I'm fine now."

A look of astonishment flashed in Nie Tianyuan's eyes. The Golden Core Realm cultivators present all looked at each other.
