Chapter 1316: Chapter 1316: You’re the Tang Monk’s at, I’ll take the first bite!
Xia Chenyu was chatting with Rou Fu and her four sisters while Fang Bai engaged in conversation with the higher-ups of the Golden Crow Manor.
At this mont, the originally grief-stricken expressions on the faces of the Golden Crow Manor leaders like Shi Cheng had been replaced by excitent and elation.
Although the battle had been costly for Golden Crow Manor, with Fang Bai’s and that unnad powerful person’s help, they finally managed to crush the Martial Artists Alliance and the Tianji Sect that were coveting the Essence Stone Vein, successfully protecting it.
For Shi Cheng and the other Golden Crow Manor leaders, achieving such a victory was worth the price, no matter how costly.
As long as the Golden Crow Manor could firmly hold on to the Essence Stone Vein, they would have a vast amount of Cultivation Resources. With those resources, it would not take more than twenty years for Golden Crow Manor to recover its Essence Energy and regain its forr glory.
Twenty years might seem very long to the common person, but for martial artists who easily live over a hundred years, it’s nothing significant.
“This ti, we owe a great debt of gratitude to Senior Fang for saving our lives and the Essence Stone Vein. We etch Senior Fang’s kindness deeply into our hearts, endlessly grateful. Please accept our bow!”
As Shi Cheng spoke, he and the other high-ranked mbers of the Golden Crow Manor, along with the remaining thousands of disciples, all clasped their fists and bowed deeply to Fang Bai to express their gratitude.
Even though Fang Bai did not kill a disciple of the Tianji Sect, when he pursued Dongguo Zongheng, he condensed a pair of Wind Wings from Wind Essence Qi, displaying the Cultivation Level of a legendary Innate Expert, greatly shocking the tens of thousands of martial artists from the Martial Artists Alliance and the disciples of the Tianji Sect who were present.
Moreover, with the Sect Master of the Tianji Sect, Xuan Tianji, being completely suppressed by Li Chenzhou with no chance of winning, the tens of thousands of martial artists finally lost their will to fight and dispersed in all directions.
The tens of thousands of martial artists were not fools; realizing that Golden Crow Manor had the support of an Innate Expert, they knew they stood no chance. Staying on could very well an walking down a path to death, so fleeing promptly was the best strategy.
It is safe to say that if not for Fang Bai and Li Chenzhou, at this mont Shi Cheng and the others might have been decimated, and the Essence Stone Vein would have fallen into the hands of others. However, Shi Cheng and the others were not familiar with Li Chenzhou, and as he was still imrsed in his showdown with Xuan Tianji, they could only express their gratitude to Fang Bai.
“There’s no need for thanks,”
Fang Bai waved his hand, seriously saying: “I lent my help also for my half of the Essence Stone Vein!”
Shi Cheng was taken aback; only then did he rember the agreent between Golden Crow Manor and Fang Bai that if they could repel those coveting the Essence Stone Vein, Fang Bai would beco the co-owner of the vein.
Although Golden Crow Manor erged victorious in this great battle, they paid a heavy price and in the end could only secure half of the Essence Stone Vein, while Fang Bai alone enjoyed the other half…
At this thought, Shi Cheng felt sowhat imbalanced in his heart.
At that mont, Shi Cheng even harbored a fleeting thought of regretting the deal, feeling that Golden Crow Manor, having paid a greater price, deserved more.
But then, the intimidating sight of Fang Bai sprouting Wind Wings and soaring into the sky resurfaced in Shi Cheng’s mind, causing a chill to run down his spine and abruptly snuffing out any thoughts of reneging on the deal.
Flying with wings ford from condensed Essence Energy is sothing said to be possible only for legendary Innate Experts; as for what happens if one offends an Innate Expert, the Tianji Sect serves as the best example.
“I wonder how things are at Golden Crow Manor…”
Having dealt with the enemy at the Essence Stone Vein, Shi Cheng began to worry about the safety of Golden Crow Manor.
If what Xuan Tianji said before was true, then the power the Tianji Sect mobilized to besiege Golden Crow Manor was evidently stronger than that at the Essence Stone Vein. Coupled with the assistance of a High Rank Array Master, Shi Cheng was unsure of Golden Crow Manor’s safety at this mont.
Golden Crow Manor was their martial artists’ main base and their very foundation; its significance far exceeded that of the Essence Stone Vein, and it was absolutely critical to preserve it.
“Senior Fang, please guard the Essence Stone Vein here for now. I will take so disciples back to Golden Crow Manor to check on it.”
Thinking of the perilous state of Golden Crow Manor, Shi Cheng beca anxious. After receiving Fang Bai’s consent, he quickly gathered so disciples of Golden Crow Manor who were still combat-ready and prepared to set out to aid Golden Crow Manor.
“Look… it’s the Manor Master and the others!”
Just at that mont, so disciples from Golden Crow Manor standing on the bastion pointed excitedly into the distance and shouted.
Upon hearing this, Shi Cheng and the others leapt atop the bastion, gazing into the distance. They saw thousands of Swiftwind Horses charging towards them at breakneck speed, kicking up a trail of dust. Who else could it be at the forefront if not Manor Master Huang Canghai?
“That’s wonderful!”
Seeing Huang Canghai leading over a thousand disciples to their location, Shi Cheng knew that Golden Crow Manor was safe and sound. He was so moved that he couldn’t help but shed tears of joy.
The thousands of Golden Crow Manor disciples who survived the ordeal around the bastion were even more exhilarated than Shi Cheng and the higher-ups. Regardless of whether they were injured or not, they all cheered and rushed forward to welco Huang Canghai and the others.
“You don’t need to go welco them.”
Seeing Xia Chenyu also seed sowhat eager to go greet Huang Canghai, Fang Bai grasped her delicate hand and whispered, “As a woman of Fang Bai, your status is much more distinguished than Huang Canghai’s! It is he who should be coming to pay respects to us!”
Xia Chenyu’s gaze twinkled playfully as she glanced at him with a flirtatious smile, saying teasingly, “We haven’t had the closest of relationships yet. I can’t really be considered your woman, can I?”
Fang Bai, knowing she was toying with him again, snorted twice, and said, “I believe that soulful communion is more important than physical interaction!”
“But I feel that the communication between soul and body is equally important!”
“Well… we will have plenty of ti for that in the future…”
“And when is this future?”
“When we both reach the Innate Realm and successfully establish our foundations.”
“What? Didn’t you say before that once we reach the Innate Realm, we can beco true Martial Dao partners?”
“I thought about it, and decided it’s best after successfully establishing our foundations. Think about it, those tall buildings in the mundane world, if their foundations are not solid, they might risk collapse. If we compare Cultivation to building a structure, only with a solid foundation can we reach higher realms more quickly and safely. Otherwise, we might encounter various risks, like Deviation… I am considering our future Cultivation…”
“I don’t care about Cultivation or not! Anyway, when I reach the Innate Realm, if you don’t co to conquer , then I will conquer you!”
“Ssh… you want to force the issue like a conquering overlord! I will resist!”
“Resistance is futile! Giggle… You are now like the ‘Tang Monk’s flesh’; surrounded by so many won, it wouldn’t be wrong for to take the first bite!”
“Not just anyone can handle my flesh…”
“I know, I know, you have the Chaos True Body, a single drop of your blood could burst a normal Martial Artist’s body… Just keep bragging!”
“I’m really not bragging…”
