Suppressed
"What's he up to, where did he go?" The demigod looked around furtively in confusion.Even with his domain, he was unable to detect any abnormalities. It simply appeared like Fang Yu vanished into thin air just that.But then again, the perimeter formation had yet to be breached, indirectly hunting that Fang Yu was still within the area somehow. The demigod had a thought and suddenly unleashed a wave of area attack indiscriminately.The logic was simple. If indeed Fang Yu was hiding somewhere nearby, whatever sorcery he was using to hide himself would naturally fade once he got injured by the blasts. By then, he would personally act to capture him. Unfortunately for the innocent bystanders in the room, the next few seconds was torture to them as a barrage of attacks hit them from all directions. Most of them directly fainted under the attack as their bodies convulsed involuntarily."This demigod cultivates the Thunder Rule!" Fang Yu's li
Failed Recruitment
"Hey, are you doing good?" Su Ya addressed Fang Yu on her back as she ran. However, he ended up coughing up several mouthfuls of blood at that moment, the crimson red staining her upper dress in the blink of an eye."Ew!" Su Ya was more alarmed than annoyed though as her footsteps suddenly started to wobble. Apparently, she was averse to the metallic stench of the blood which now filled her senses.Fang Yu sensed her unusual state and was disappointed for the umpteenth time. How could one claim to be a cultivator without overcoming their fear of blood first?'She can't be relied on, I had better recover quickly and look out for myself,' he mused. Thankfully, his Inner Cosmos didn't suffer any damage so he could directly draw from his cultivation once he stabilized his body condition."Let's leave this area. I have a way to quickly recover if I gain access to the Umbra," he used all his strength to tell Su Ya this. He didn't attempt to enter from h
Baidu Trade Pavilion
Unfortunately, Fang Yu and Su Ya's relationship worsened over the next couple of days. Whatever shred of cordiality they had previously developed dissipated into thin air and the atmosphere around them grew tenser.When they finally made it through to the Great Chu states, Su Ya said stonily, "Now that we're here, I'd have to investigate the divination result first. Would you rather wander off for now and wait until I contact you after getting some leads?"Fang Yu surprised her with his answer, "Let's just stick together." He noticed her blinking furtively and asked, "What?""Nothing," she removed her eyes from his face. "I just assumed you'd choose otherwise.""We've been travelling together for a while now. If I really wanted to get away, I would have ditched you mid-trip," Fang YU said bluntly.Su Ya was speechless.Fang Yu looked around. The view in his sight was not much different from the Femghu Outpost which was a bit disa
Meeting an Old Acquaintance
Fortunately for the saleslady, Fang Yu and Su Ya did not take offense and the inconvenience was quickly sorted. As they left for another chamber however, the wizened diviner gazed at Su Ya thoughtfully."It seems the old fellow is quite interested in you," Fang Yu could not help but tease Su Ya."Ew!" Su Ya gagged but she did not refute his observation. She had also noticed the old man's excessive stares.Still, Su Ya's instinct as both a woman and a diviner did not raise any red flags of foreboding lasciviousness or ominous danger from the encounter. To this end, she did not dwell too heavily on the matter."We're here," The saleslady finally said when they stopped in front of another chamber and hesitated. "The person within is one of Great Chu's best historians, and she is also up to date with information on recent events in Great Chu. The only thing is that... she's a bit temperamental.""Are you suggesting we be on our toes once we e
Battle of Acts
The fellow disciples were locked in a staredown stalemate for a couple of breaths before Pei Xue finally looked away and reined in her killing intent. The Gu dragon on her shoulder vanished as well.In the absence of the prickling pressure, Fang Yu heaved a secret sigh of relief. In his hand, an extremely thin dagger the width of a needle point vanished as well.His courage was indeed not a farce, but it was also a calculated risk. After sensing the peculiarity of Pei Xue's lack of aura, he guessed it wasn't because she had no cultivation but due to the fact that most of her cultivation was transferred to another source. Given the nature of her combat style, he rightly guessed this source was a lifebound Gu.The size of Pei Xue's Gu was draconic, and this alone hinted how dangerous it was. However, it lacked the trademark Inner Cosmos and domain projection abilities of typical high-level cultivators of the Eternal Purgatory World and Fang Yu saw how this c
Unintentional Discovery and Combat Upgrade
There were a couple of observations that Fang Yu made about the Umbra as he traveled through the dimension."It feels less stable within Great Chu. I'm guessing there is a restriction over the entire territory by some Supreme Artifact to inhibit unwarranted sneaking around."The Umbra wasn't an open secret, even though only the most talented shadow cultivators were capable of moving freely through it. Assassins commonly hid within the first couple of layers of the Umbra to escape detection, so taking the initiative to destabilize it was a very smart scheme to restrict their activity.However, this scheme could only deter, not block such activity entirely. For example, the truly powerful, high-level shadow cultivators could easily solve this by traversing the deeper layers of the Umbra which were relatively more stable. Fang Yu could do this too but refrained from doing so as he felt his cultivation was too weak to face-off against the danger of the strange
Covert Operation
"It won't be long now before some greedy fellow seeks me out," Fang Yu knew without doubt that his activities were being tracked and anyone with half a brain could easily estimate how much wealth he had gained from his operations. He wouldn't be surprised if there were plans in motion by individuals of both the righteous and demon path to snatch up everything at some point."The good thing is that no one knows my true identity. As long as I stop my actions and reintegrate into society after donning on a new disguise, I can easily bypass public scrutiny." As a matter of fact, Fang Yu planned to stop after this operation. His senses tingled as someone came within close range and he abruptly looked up, but it was only the leader of the Radiant Heart Gang coming up to hand him a storage ring of resources. Still, Fang Yu's mind remained unsettled for some reason.His wariness was proved right when the brawnish man suddenly withdrew his longsword and slashed at
Bullying Gone Wrong
Unknown to the cultivators, their secret transmissions did not escape Fang Yu's attention who easily intercepted and read them. It was one of the minor privileges he discovered he possessed within the Umbra, his sensory affinity was off the charts to say the least."As expected, some righteous organizations are behind this scandalous operation to get me under control. To think they even collaborated with some demon sects too, tsk tsk. Perhaps I get the names of these sects and pay sneak visitations to their warehouses?" Fang Yu thought.Just then, he sensed a powerful entity rapidly descend the Umbra layer towards his location. Before he could say jack, a figure materialized in front of him.It was quite ironic, but the aura was familiar. This was actually the envoy the Assassin Guild had send to Qinlingjun City to investigate Hua Mei's death at his hands.Then, Fang Yu had no other option than to hide carefully to escape perception. However, he h
Deva Core 'Gift'
The spectating youngsters were confused when the Envoy left the Umbra abruptly shortly after without them.In their view, he only took a look at the storage ring Fang Yu threw to him and become incensed for no reason. The only conclusion was that whatever was in that ring was something threatening enough to play right into the Underworld Reaper's hand.Indeed, Fang Yu had every intention of blackmail from the onset and had meticulously recorded the details of the whole event, including the Envoy's unfiltered monologue which counted as a confession and the small battle between them as an highlight. His meaning was obvious; he could make multiple copies of the recording stone and send it across to the general public. No doubt, the reputation of the affected organizations, especially the righteous sects, would take a nosedive once the world heard of their intentions towards the 'hero' doing the righteous cause.Fang Yu also intentionally included the battle s
Unexpected Aid
The Envoy's wishful thinking was cut short when Fang Yu suddenly vanished.One second he was there, the next he was not. In the place he previously stood, spiritual energy coalesced slowly before condensing into a vulgar character, the equivalent of a written "f*ck you"."Damnit!" So Ma felt hot blood rush into his head and felt like stabbing Fang Yu a million times over. Unfortunately, the latter was nowhere to be found, seemingly having pulled a grand escape right under their noses."I could sense no fluctuation in the Umbra, so whatever method he used was definitely high-level. Are you sure his cultivation is below the demigod realm?" One of the two cultivators said. He was Han Fei, the twelveth Envoy of the Assassin Guild who majored in theShadow and Thunder rules."I didn't sense anything either," the other who was also another Envoy confirmed.So Ma said stonily, "You both were here with me and sensed his cultivation base
