Chapter 1492: Shentu Cheng
Chapter 1492: Chapter 1492: Shentu Cheng
At dusk, several female disciples of the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion got what they needed and left happily together.
Han Feng’er also left with them.
Before leaving, Han Feng’er and her brother Han Xiangtian exchanged a smile.
The meaning of that smile was understood only by the two of them.
"Senior Fang, we succeeded!"
Watching his sister leave, Han Xiangtian turned and saw Fang Bai coming out of the stone house, looking somewhat exhausted. He met him excitedly and said.
Fang Bai had expected this, smiled faintly, waved his hand, and said, "Go back and rest! We’ll be busy tomorrow!"
Liuyinghong, Han Feng’er, and others had already promised to spread word of Fang Bai upon returning to the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion.
The Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion had tens of thousands of disciples, and most were in the internal and external courtyards. Even if Liuyinghong, Han Feng’er, and others brought only one percent, there would still be hundreds. When these hundreds go back and spread the word for Fang Bai, one can imagine how bustling business would be in the coming days.
Once Fang Bai and Han Xiangtian left, the surrounding dozen or so Pill Masters and Artifact Refiners also left, each with their own thoughts.
That evening, at the "Guest Arrival" inn where Fang Bai stayed, a dozen Pill Masters and Artifact Refiners visited with lavish gifts, feeling anxious. After receiving Fang Bai’s promise of "no exclusion or suppression," they left with relief on their faces.
That night, the city east area managed by the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion in Flaming Sun City was frequently noisy in streets and inns. Fang Bai extended his Divine Sense, knowing that Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion Master Mu Enze was dispatching the pavilion’s high-ranking members everywhere to find the murderer of Elder Yang Dong, whose Soul Lamp had extinguished.
Fang Bai secretly sneered in his heart, thinking if it were another Martial Artist, they might have left a trace of the opponent’s aura after the killing, but after he killed Yang Dong, he even refined his Golden Core into a part of his own Chaos Origin Energy, rid himself entirely of his aura, making it impossible for Mu Enze even if he came in person to find any clues.
However, Han Xiangtian, Ren Tianfu, Ren Tianlu, and others who knew of this matter were terrified most of the night, fearing that experts from the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion might suddenly raid and attack them.
Luckily, when an elder of the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion arrived with some disciples at their residence, they merely checked briefly and left, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief.
In the latter half of the night, a Martial Artist checking into the "Guest Arrival" inn drew Fang Bai’s attention.
The aura of that Martial Artist was very similar to the Nine Heavens Palace Elder Shen Zhenhai, whom Fang Bai had previously killed, evidently from the same Sect as Shen Zhenhai.
Fang Bai released his Divine Sense to secretly monitor the Martial Artist’s every move and quickly discovered that he was Shentu Cheng, the current Palace Master of Nine Heavens Palace and Shen Zhenhai’s elder brother.
Amusingly, Shentu Cheng came to Flaming Sun City to seek help from Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion’s Elder Yang Dong, hoping Yang Dong could use his influence in the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion to help find his brother’s killer and avenge him.
"Yang Dong is dead, and the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion is in chaos; who will bother with you?"
Fang Bai secretly sneered.
Initially, Fang Bai did not intend to deal with Shentu Cheng, but he soon realized that during their journey to Flaming Sun City, there had been a conflict with Nine Heavens Palace disciples led by Shen Zhenhai. If Shentu Cheng investigated seriously, it would be easy to find traces pointing to Lingxu Palace disciples, leading to suspicions that Shen Zhenhai’s death was related to Lingxu Palace disciples and then provoking Lingxu Palace.
The overall strength of the Nine Heavens Palace was already slightly superior to that of Lingxu Palace, and with Lingxu Palace’s Master severely wounded and two elders fallen, they were no match for Nine Heavens Palace. If Nine Heavens Palace launched a massive attack under the pretense of revenge, Lingxu Palace might be unable to resist.
Hence, if the matter of Shen Zhenhai was not settled, it would always remain a hidden danger for Lingxu Palace.
Fang Bai’s mind raced, deciding to take out this Shentu Cheng first, thereby causing the leaderless Nine Heavens Palace to fall into chaos and be unable to trouble Lingxu Palace for some time.
Before leaving Lingxu Palace, Fang Bai planned to help its disciples enhance their strength as much as possible, allowing them to surpass formidable opponents like Nine Heavens Palace and Soul Hall comprehensively.
Shentu Cheng did not know that from the moment he checked into the "Guest Arrival" inn, he had already fallen under Fang Bai’s surveillance.
When Fang Bai harbored murderous intent, Shentu Cheng, who was meditating in his room, suddenly felt restless and uneasy.
Shentu Cheng had just entered Flaming Sun City when he heard the shocking news of Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion Elder Yang Dong’s death, leaving him astonished and upset.
It must be known that the superior strength of Nine Heavens Palace compared to Lingxu Palace and Soul Hall was mainly due to Yang Dong’s deep ties with Nine Heavens Palace, providing some high-rank Spirit Pills for cultivation.
Yang Dong’s death caused Nine Heavens Palace to lose a strong backing, and if Lingxu Palace and Soul Hall learned of this, they would no longer fear Nine Heavens Palace as before.
Shentu Cheng had come to Flaming Sun City intending to ask Yang Dong to mobilize the strength of Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion to find his brother Shen Zhenhai’s killer. Now that Yang Dong was dead, the matter might not proceed.
Yet Shentu Cheng was unwilling to leave immediately, so he decided to stay temporarily in Flaming Sun City and visit Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion Master Mu Enze with a heavy gift the next day.
Perhaps Mu Enze, in consideration of the gift, would help him with this favor.
But Shentu Cheng never imagined that from the moment he walked into the "Guest Arrival" inn, he would have no chance to leave.
When the restless Shentu Cheng left his room to get some air in the courtyard, he suddenly noticed a figure standing there.
"Who are you?"
Shentu Cheng was shocked, his eyes locked onto the figure as he shouted in a deep voice.
Shentu Cheng was, after all, a Sect Master and a Foundation Establishment perfection expert. The fact that someone could appear silently in his courtyard without him noticing indicated the person was far stronger, understandably frightening him. noveldrama
"I killed Shen Zhenhai."
The figure slowly turned around, facing Shentu Cheng with a mocking smile on his handsome face.
Shentu Cheng’s pupils contracted suddenly, his fists clenched tightly, and fighting intent surged throughout his body as he stepped forward, demanding fiercely, "Why?"
The figure replied, "Because he wanted to kill me, so I killed him! Is that reason enough?"
Shentu Cheng was momentarily speechless.
He knew what kind of temper his younger brother had, always stirring up trouble, relying on his strength and the identity of a Nine Heavens Palace Elder, and liking women excessively, which made it unsurprising he met with such a deadly predicament.
However, Shen Zhenhai was still his younger brother. Having been killed by someone, how could he, as the elder brother, not seek revenge?
