ing the Ice Armored Unicorn, her hands forming seals.A faint yellow glow appeared in the Snow Woman's hands.The ice armor unicorn's gaze was instantly drawn to the ball of yellow light, all movement c..."In the name of Wando Pavilion." said the elder.
"Huh" The Head Steward was taken aback once again.
"We are providing Fang Yu with convenience, openly and honestly. Why hide his identity" The elder countered, "Go on, complete this as soon as possible."
The head steward's face changed, his eyes full of confusion and bewilderment.
But in the end, he did not ask again, only responded with a grunt and turned to leave.
The old man sat in his original place, squinting slightly, his eyes flickering.
……
In the evening.
Fang Yu hauled out two fish weighing three to four jin from the sea off the island. He built a fire on the beach and roasted them there.
In fact, Fang Yu nowadays rarely feels hunger anymore and already has the conditions to practice fasting.
But for food, he still had an interest and didn't want to give it up.
And now, two fish roasting over a fire are what Fang Yu has for his first meal since arriving in the Upper Realm.
Fang Yu squatted in front of the bonfire, while Xiao Xi'er stood beside him, staring at the grilled fish that was being roasted by the fire, her eyes gleaming.
This scene was just like Yu Yueyue back when she lived in the urban village in Jianghai City.
"You'll definitely get your share, don't worry." Fang Yu said.
"Mm." Xiaoxi nodded obediently.
Fang Yu glanced again at Mu Qingran standing on the other side and asked, "Do you want it"
Mù Qīngrán came to her senses and immediately shook her head.
"That's good, I'll eat one and a half, you eat half." Fang Yu said to Xiao Xi'er.
"Great!" Xiaoxier licked her lips, her face full of anticipation.
Soon, the grilled fish will be ready.
Fang Yu tore off half a piece for Xiaoxier and then started eating the remaining half himself.
Mu Qingran stood aside, looking straight at Fang Yu.
This was her first time seeing a powerful being of this level eat worldly food meant for sustenance.
In Mu Qingran's understanding, a strong cultivator like Fang Yu... even if he were to eat something, it would have to be various elixirs and magical medicines, things like dragon blood and giant python marrow.
Fang Yu could feel Mu Qingran's surprised gaze, but he didn't care.
"Master!"
Just as Fang Yu finished cooking the last bit of grilled fish, Chen Ye flew over from behind at an extremely fast speed.
Fang Yu washed his hands with seawater and turned around.
At this moment, Chen Ye just landed in front of him.
"What's wrong" Fang Yu asked.
Chen Ye glanced at Mu Qing Ran.
"It's fine, go ahead and say it," Fang Yu said.
"Two cultivators from Wandao Pavilion just arrived at our Yuhua Gate." Dust Ye frowned and said.
“Oh What’s up” Fang Yu asked curiously.
"They said, the elder had them come over to give us some intel," Chen Ye looked at Fang Yu, saying word by word, "The headmaster of Zhenwu Body Refinement Sect, Du Hongtian, is currently in Shanwu City!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Yu narrowed his eyes.
Nearby Mu Qingran's expression changed slightly.
Fang Yu didn't speak, but instead took out the piece of paper Chen Ye had written yesterday.
On the paper, behind the True Martial Body Sect… Chen Ye had just written down the name of the sect leader, Du Hongtian.
"This Du Hongtian, he was the head of Zhenwu Tixzong over two hundred years ago" Fang Yu frowned and asked.
"Yes!" Chen Ye replied with icy eyes.
"So it was him, working with the Di Chen of the Eight Sealing Divine Sect, who came here to rob the Yu Hua Gate" Fang Yu asked.
"Whether it was him who went to talk, I'm not sure. But Du Hongtian's actions back then were the most outrageous among that pack of beasts!" Chen Ye gritted his teeth and said.
"It must be Du Hongtian," Mu Qingran said beside him. "Because the Zhenwu Tiding Sect doesn't have a Supreme Elder, Du Hongtian has always been the sect leader of the Zhenwu Tiding Sect and holds absolute power."
"That'll do." Fang Yu said faintly, "I'll go to Shanwu City to find Du Hongtian tomorrow."
"Why would Wǎndào Pavilion tell you such information" Mù Qīngrán asked, her brow furrowed slightly.
Chen Ye also looked at Fang Yu with a puzzled expression.
The only person to have communicated directly with Wanguo Pavilion is Fang Yu.
Could it be that Fang Yu reached some kind of agreement with the Elder
However, in fact, there is no agreement.
Fang Yu's conversation with the elder was brief, and the entire process was a test of each other. It wasn't friendly.
Now, could the Grand Elder possibly be proactively revealing intel on the key figures of the Zhenwu Martial Arts Sect to Fang Yu
“I don’t know why he did that. Maybe he has a grudge against Du Honting,” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow, “Does he want to use me to kill Du Honting Or does he think Du Honting can get rid of me”
"Regardless, this intel is useful to us. Otherwise, if we went to Zhenwutongzong and didn't find Du Hongtian, we'd waste a lot of time..."
"Master, then shall we... depart tomorrow" Chen Ye squinted.
"Well, get some rest. We leave early tomorrow morning," Fang Yu said.
"Brother Fang, where are you and Uncle Chen going tomorrow" Xiaoxier asked, her face smeared with oil from eating.
"Go take care of business, you can just stay here." Fang Yu said.
Having said that, Fang Yu again felt that it wasn't quite right to leave Xiaoxier alone on this deserted island.
Thus, Fang Yu turned to Mu Qingran and smiled faintly, "Since you don't want to go back to Yaochi Holy Land yet, will you help me watch the children tomorrow"
Mu Qingran was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Xiao Xi'er and nodded. "Okay, I will take care of Xiao Xi'er."
"Thanks for this, Saintess," Fang Yu said.
……
The next morning, Fang Yu and Chen Ye set off again, heading towards Shanwu City.
Mountain Mist City sits right next to Heavenly Jade City. Because it's situated on higher ground, surrounded by mountains on all sides, the entire city is perpetually shrouded in thick mountain mist... that's how it got its name: Mountain Mist City.
In its usual state, Mount Mist City is an ordinary and tranquil small town. It has many residents, but the atmosphere is peaceful.
But recently, this small town has suddenly been flooded with a large number of cultivators!
The reason is simple: this year's Physical Cultivation Grand Competition is being held in Shanwu City!
Therefore, a large number of cultivators came to compete, and a vast crowd of spectators also arrived to watch!
Shanwu City became more lively than ever before.
As of today, the Body Cultivation Grand Competition is on its fourth day and has reached the semi-finals.
After today's grand competition, the champion of this year's physical training competition will be decided. As the winner, they will receive a large amount of rewards from the organizers.
At this very moment, the Grand Martial Arts Hall in the center of Shanwu City is packed with people, bustling and noisy.
In the presence of thousands of spectators, the grand four-way competition is about to begin!
In the center of the long table before the martial arts stage sat a man with pale skin, no beard, and an extremely muscular physique.
The man was bald, his head shining like a mirror.
He was clad in black combat gear, with a large fist design on the left sleeve of his jacket.
This is the hallmark of the Zhenwu Sect!
And this man, is the headmaster of Zhenwutizong, and also the chief referee of this year's Body Cultivation Grand Competition, Du Hongtian!
"Master Du, it's an honor to meet you! I come from the Harmony Sect and..."
"Master Du, long time no see, I am..."
"Master Du..."
All the cultivators from various sects came specially to greet Du Hongtian, with attitudes of respect.
"That's enough, don't come over here to make a show of it. I don't know you, and I don't want to know you." Du Hongtian frowned, his fierce and violent face full of impatience. City, I'm in charge of... that is, guiding you fellow cultivators who are visiting the King City for the first time, making it more convenient for you to accomplish what you want to do. 。"You have to...
