Chapter 50

The moonlight was as clear as water, illuminating the mountains as if it were daylight.

A giant iron wire snake, as thick as a water bucket, continuously swallowed the moonlight. Within a thousand feet of its surroundings, there was not a trace of life.

As the ruler of this mountain, this ridge was the iron wire snake's territory. Without its permission, no animal would dare to appear on this mountain peak.

"Such a large iron wire snake is indeed rare to see." A calm voice suddenly came from above the sky.

Upon hearing this voice, the iron wire snake, relying on its instincts, sensed a great danger approaching.

And this danger was not something it could resist!

In an instant, the iron wire snake quickly darted towards its den, trying to enter it as fast as possible.

This was an instinctive reaction it had developed over the years.

However, before it could move even an inch, a hand as long as ten feet instantly grabbed it by the throat.

"Poof"

A bright light instantly pierced through the body of the iron wire snake, which many people believed to be invulnerable to even the sharpest weapons, and extracted a fist-sized snake gallbladder.

The body of the iron wire snake, which many considered to be a treasure, was thrown to the ground like trash.

"Congratulations, Master!" A soft and alluring woman's voice gently echoed inside a ten-foot-long flying vehicle.

The flying vehicle was lavishly decorated, and as it flew, it seemed like a bolt of lightning, covering several miles in an instant.

In the middle of the flying vehicle, a man in his thirties, dressed in a soil-colored robe, was holding the snake gallbladder with his hand. Upon hearing the woman's words, he said with a hint of regret, "Unfortunately, this iron wire snake was injured before, so the gallbladder is not as pure as it should be."

As he spoke, the man took out a jade box and placed the gallbladder inside, then continued, "However, it should be enough to refine the Eye-Clearing Dew."

Beside the man stood a woman in her late teens, exuding charm. Her green long dress was dignified and elegant, but on her, it had a fiery allure.

The woman giggled, about to speak, when the man in the yellow robe suddenly became serious and said coldly, "What a huge fluctuation!"

As he spoke, he channeled his magical power, increasing the speed of the vehicle by a third.

The woman's alluring eyes blinked, hesitated for a moment, and then asked the man in a serious tone, "Master, is it...?"

"A wave of thunderous fluctuations just came from the direction of Dingfang City. Someone must be dueling there," the man said, closing his eyes gently.

The woman, seeing the closed eyes of the master, did not dare to speak further, but a cold look appeared in her eyes.

A moment later, at a distance of ten miles from Dingfang City, Chen Yuanlu smiled when he saw the flying vehicle approaching.

He respectfully said, "Chen Yuanlu of the Chen family, pays respects to Master Lu!"

...

In the vast sky a thousand miles away from Dingfang City, a golden eagle flapped its wings rapidly. The eagle's wingspan was about ten feet, and with each flap, it covered a hundred miles.

The eagle flew very high, and the strong gale continuously blew through the sky, capable of turning a stone into powder. However, the two women on the eagle's back were not even slightly affected.

The two women, one in white and one in red, stood side by side on the eagle's back, resembling celestial maidens from the moon palace.

"Sister, what do you think the Divine Consort will be like?" the woman in white smiled gently, a bit curious.

The woman in red had a cold expression and said indifferently, "This is not something we can discuss. The most important thing for us now is to retrieve the reincarnation of the Divine Consort."

"Thank goodness the reincarnation of the Divine Consort is fine; otherwise, our Zhenhuan Palace would be in trouble..."

The woman in red gave the woman in white a cold look, and the latter quickly stopped speaking.

"Let's speed up. The Star Fixing Talisman is getting hotter, so the Divine Consort should be within a thousand miles." A fist-sized jade talisman, shimmering with red light, suddenly appeared in the woman in red's hand.

The woman in white nodded, and with a wave of her hand, a surge of spiritual energy poured into the eagle beneath her feet.

The eagle, which could cover several miles with each flap, instantly doubled its speed with the influx of spiritual energy.

The full moon hung in the sky, and the eagle's shadow flashed like lightning through the void.

Fang Ling coldly looked at Master Zhao, and the three other masters who had come with Master Zhao were already lying on the ground.

"Fang Ling, don't kill me!" Master Zhao said fearfully. "I'll give you all my spirit stones, and the formations and two formation diagrams I have can also be yours."

Fang Ling did not respond to Master Zhao's plea. He pointed his finger, and the black Yin-Yang Blade instantly split Master Zhao into two.

Although Master Zhao and he had interacted a few times, Fang Ling could not risk exposing the secret of the Dusty Picture of Jingyanggang.

With a wave of his sleeve, Fang Ling put away the Dusty Picture of Jingyanggang and reappeared in the Fang family courtyard with Hua Shuying.

"Shuying, let's go out now," Fang Ling said with a cold smile, scanning the surroundings.

When he entered the city, he had already investigated the Chen family's strength. The only person who could hide him was Chen Shengbei.

Now that Chen Shengbei was dead, he had a strong desire to challenge the eighth-layer Qi Practitioner, Chen Yuanlu. Moreover, the Dusty Picture of Jingyanggang had allowed him to instantly kill Master Zhao and his companions, boosting his confidence.

Outside the Fang family's gate, it was as bright as daylight!

When Fang Ling walked out of the Fang family's gate, dozens of eyes looked at him.

These eyes were filled with surprise, joy, and anticipation!

Some had even placed their hands on their weapons!

To many, the bounty on Chen Shengbei was tempting, and Fang Ling was the juiciest piece of meat in their eyes.

Guan Wushang also stared at Fang Ling intently, with the same intention to act. After all, he had been close to the Fang family in the past and now lived in constant fear of the Chen family causing trouble.

If he could personally kill Fang Ling, then...

"Sixth-layer Qi Practitioner!" Guan Wushang, who had discerned Fang Ling's cultivation, was full of shock in his voice!

Although "sixth-layer Qi Practitioner" was just four words, it instantly stunned everyone present.

After all, the highest cultivation among those present was also sixth-layer Qi Practitioner.

Among them, Guan Wushang was the most impressed. When he first met Fang Ling, the boy was only a fourth-layer Qi Practitioner, but now, in such a short time, this young man had reached the monstrous sixth-layer Qi Practitioner.

The same as himself, a sixth-layer Qi Practitioner.

Fang Ling looked at everyone and coldly smiled, then held up Master Zhao's head and said, "Master Zhao and his companions are dead. Whoever dares to block me will be killed without mercy!"

His not-so-loud voice carried a hint of coldness.

Master Zhao's head, illuminated by the torches, looked particularly grotesque, and everyone who saw it felt a chill.

To many, Master Zhao was an invincible existence, and now his head was in Fang Ling's hands.

They knew that Master Zhao and his companions had only been in the Fang family for less than a quarter of an hour.

The night was a bit chilly, and there was no sound. Fang Ling, holding Hua Shuying's hand, stepped out.

Under the cold gaze of the young man, the second-in-command of the Tiger Den Gang, Qi Yunhe, trembled and quickly moved out of the way.

His movement set a precedent, and in an instant, everyone silently cleared a three-foot-wide path.

Under countless gazes, Fang Ling and Hua Shuying stepped forward!

No one dared to stop them, and no one dared to make a sound!

"Young man, you have great courage!" A calm voice echoed in the sky, and with it, the entire sky brightened.

Fang Ling looked up and saw a flying vehicle suspended in the sky, enveloped in a white glow that gave a sense of reverence.

"Master Lu, this is Fang Ling!"

A voice filled with hatred came from inside the vehicle.

This voice instantly startled everyone present.

Chen Yuanlu!

Chen Yuanlu was actually in the flying vehicle.

"Please forgive my impertinence, Master. Fang Ling has killed hundreds of my Chen family members. Please allow me to kill this beast!"

As Chen Yuanlu's voice fell, a calm voice from inside the vehicle said, "Is this the Fang Ling who killed Qiaofei's father?"

"Please, Master, avenge my father," a gentle voice followed, accompanied by sobs.

The word "Master" made everyone's hearts tremble. Although they were not cultivators, they understood the meaning of the word.

A Golden Core Master, a legendary existence, had actually appeared before them.

Achieving the Golden Core, one could live for five hundred years. Commanding magical treasures, one could control the elemental energy within a thousand feet!

This was the commoner's memory of a Golden Core Master!

To ordinary people, a Golden Core Master was like a god.

Many people never saw a Golden Core Master in their entire lives, and the top families in the State of Lu, which had produced Golden Core Masters, were even feared by the king.

"We pay respects to the Master!"

No one knew who said it first, but as the words were spoken, everyone slowly bowed down.

In this bowing, only Fang Ling and Hua Shuying stood tall.

Fang Ling's eyes were fixed on the flying vehicle, his mind racing with thoughts. He had brought Hua Shuying back to the Fang family this time, relying on the Thunder Seed. As expected, the Thunder Seed had helped him kill the Foundation Establishment Stage Chen Shengbei.

However, he did not expect to encounter a Golden Core Master, and one who was closely related to the Chen family, just as he was about to leave the Fang family's gate.

Although this Golden Core Master did not speak, Fang Ling could feel the power of Master Lu.

What should he do?

What should he do now?

Several thoughts flashed through his mind, but each was quickly dismissed.

"Kill yourself!" A calm voice, carrying an unyielding authority, pressed down from the sky!
