seeing the exit is like seeing hope for life!He gritted his teeth and charged forward with all his might."Boom!"But the next second, he only felt his whole body locked by a powerful aura.All the qi r...Destined

Hearing this word, Fang Yu frowned slightly and said, "How come you started believing in fate"

"It's not a matter of belief, but I feel... many things that have happened to this person are too unique." Lin Batian shook the paper fan in his hand and said, "Before, no one could break through to the twelfth level in the Qi Refining stage."

Not to mention, he had lived for nearly five thousand years at this level.

"...and this monstrous flesh, the divine dragon that disappeared ten thousand years ago, was found to have its origin..."

"Speaking of which, Lin Batian snapped his paper fan shut with a 'snap' and said, “Furthermore, after my true self ascended two thousand years ago, I could actually encounter the remnant of my will…and that girl who looks so much like Leng Xunduang…”

All the signs are just too coincidental, it's impossible not to connect them with destiny.

Listening to Lin Batian's words, Fang Yu's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

Indeed, he had realized a long time ago that things had been happening very frequently lately, especially in the last year, one after another.

This is completely different from Fang Yu's previous leisurely and relaxed pace of life.

Now, Fangyu doesn't even have time to tend to her vegetable garden, which she used to love tinkering with.

And during this time, most of the events that occurred were related to things that disappeared thousands of years ago.

As for this situation, Fang Yu had his own thoughts early on, but the conclusion he reached was too absurd and quickly discarded from his mind.

Now that Lin Batten mentioned it again, Fang Yu fell into thought once more.

Destined to meet

He doesn't think so.

But it is undeniable that Lin Batian's statement also makes sense.

Many things that have happened are indeed too coincidental.

But when it came to connecting with something as ethereal and intangible as fate, Fang Yu found it utterly uninteresting and couldn't muster any deeper thoughts on the subject.

"What do you think, is there any meaning behind Heaven's will allowing me to obtain the Dragon Source" Fang Yu asked.

“If you were to ask my true self, he might be able to answer. After all, he is already a celestial being, transcending the mortal realm.” Lin Batian said, “But if you ask me now, I can only say that I don’t know.”

Fang Yu didn't want to discuss this any further, so he lowered his head and started making tea.

"Just now, when I used the power of Shenlong, I observed that your breath seemed unstable. What's the reason" Lin Batian asked.

"Well, I and the Divine Dragon Origin have never fully merged. It doesn't truly belong to me yet," Fang Yu said. "It's probably because of my realm. The limitations of the Qi Refining period are just too many."

"That is indeed a problem." Lin Batian looked at Fang Yu, frowning and said, "Although it allows you to do many more things compared to normal Qi Refining cultivators, the Qi Refining period is still the Qi Refining period. There are still many limitations."

"If one cannot break through the Qi Refining stage, all this martial arts would be utterly useless... I can't help but worry for them."

"Right, how many levels are there in the Qi Refining stage now"

"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-seven." Fang Yu said.

"Only three more layers to go until ten thousand layers... When a cultivator is close to breaking through a realm, they always have a premonition. How have you been feeling lately" Lin Batian stood up and asked.

“A long time ago, my dantian felt very full and would often cause true qi to flow backward, resulting in vomiting blood... But after absorbing the essence of the Divine Dragon, my dantian and meridians seem to have expanded a bit. The feeling of fullness in my dantian has lessened.” Fang Yu said.

"Dantian expansion... for him, this is normal. Are there any other feelings Like touching the ceiling of the Qi Refining stage, a faint sign that the Dantian is condensing into a golden pill..." Lin Baitai asked.

"No." Fang Yu replied bluntly.

"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-seven layers...My god, it's unimaginable." Lin Batian looked at Fang Yu's dantian with shock in his eyes and said, "How much spiritual energy is contained in the dantian now..."

……

Huaibei Martial Arts Association, President's Office.

One after another, calls came in, Zhao Jidao was busy and overwhelmed, sweating profusely.

Today, the investigation into the disappearance of all residents in Fang Yu's entire apartment building is only halfway through with no leads.

Tonight, a similar incident happened again in Honglin City, Huaibei!

All the residents of the entire apartment building have also vanished! The rooms are in disarray, with shocking bloodstains left behind.

Fang Yu's apartment building in this incident, is obviously just the beginning!

This is the situation Zhao Jidao worries about most.

Today, I have received calls from various parties to verify the situation regarding the incident.

The higher-ups at the Capital Martial Arts Association gave him a direct order: to investigate the incident and clear things up within a week! Otherwise, he would be held solely responsible.

Zhaozhidao had held the position of president for many years and rarely faced such a critical situation.

With less than three years until retirement, he might actually be fired!

"Chairman Zhao, we have received news from the Nandu Martial Arts Association. There was a fight between warriors at the Nandu Hotel tonight, causing significant destruction..." A subordinate walked into the office and reported.

"Don't bother me with this anymore, just handle it as you see fit." Zhao Ji said, his face ashen and impatient.

"But... the group of people who were beaten at Nandu Restaurant tonight, they are core members of the Huaibei Chamber of Commerce. Several of them are seriously injured and are still being rescued..." said his subordinate.

"What!! The core members of the Huaibei Chamber of Commerce were injured!" Zhao Jidao slammed his fist on the table and stood up, his eyes wide with shock.

The Huaibei Merchants' Association has to pay a portion of its profits to the Huaibei Martial Arts Association every year, which is an important source of funding for the association's operations.

Their affairs, Zhao Ji could not help but pay attention to.

"Yes, there was a banquet held there this evening," the subordinate said.

"A banquet And then what What warrior would dare to lay a hand on them!" Zhao Ji chased after.

"It seems to be that Fang Yu, Lord Fang." the subordinate said with his head bowed.

"Fang Yu!" Zhao Ji said, his face stiff, as he sat back down in his chair dumbly.

If he could, he really wanted to punch himself in the face, just to knock himself out and not have to deal with all this crap anymore!

Before the Huaibei Chamber of Commerce had a conflict of interest with Fang Yu, it resolutely stood on Fang Yu's side, and the agreement was signed.

He thought at the time that this was a good solution. The Huaibei Chamber of Commerce could lose some profit, but it would avoid provoking Fang Yu, this powerful figure!

It seems that Huaibei Chamber of Commerce still hasn't given up, and is determined to provoke Fang Yu!

The ending tonight was inevitable!

"President Zhao, Nan Du is asking if we should go after Fang Yu..." The subordinate asked timidly.

"Catch Fang Yu! Hahaha..." Zhao Ji Dao laughed in anger, saying, "Tell them, under no circumstances can they touch Fang Yu! Don't even ask questions, just act like he didn't do anything tonight!"

"Understood, clear." The subordinate had never seen Zhao Jidao like this before, almost hysterical. He turned and walked out, closing the office door behind him.

Zhao Jidao supported his hands on his desk, holding his head in his hands, wanting to get a moment's rest.

But he hasn't gotten into the groove yet.

"Bang bang bang!"

The office door was knocked on again, loudly.

Zhao Jidao raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, and roared: "Come in!"

The office door swung open, and a man in uniform walked in from outside.

"Next time, please knock more softly!" Because the other person was in uniform and Zhao Ji was in a irritable state, he didn't notice that this face was unfamiliar.

After the man entered the office, he turned and locked the door.

When he looked at Zhao Ji again, a hint of sneer appeared on his face.

Zhao Jidao lowered his head to look at the file in his hand, and asked without raising his head, "What's the matter I only give you fifteen seconds."

But a few seconds later, he didn't hear anyone speak, but instead heard footsteps.

Zhao Jidao frowned, raised his head, and said in an unpleasant tone: "After all..."

Before he could finish his words, a look of terror flashed across his face.

"Bang!"

The next second, a slight sound appeared in the office.

Due to the events that transpired today, most of the martial artists within the Huaibei Martial Arts Association Hall were out. The staff members who remained at the hall also kept their distance out of fear of being scolded by Zhao Jidao's bad mood, and no one noticed the abnormality happening inside the office.

……

At the boundary of the central region, there lies a pristine mountain forest.

In a secluded spot among the valleys, there is a small clearing.

On this patch of empty ground, there stood several stone stelae, each engraved with some indecipherable characters.

And at the top of each stone tablet, there is a small stove.

These hearths burn with violet flames.

In black, Jiang Dao sat between the stone tablets.

This hidden place is the temporary headquarters of Ziyan Palace.

At this time, on Jiangdao Island, a red gem floated before him.

The gem shone with brilliance, enveloping Jiang Dao's entire body.

Jiangdao's eyes were closed tightly, and his aura rose steadily.

On top of the valleyside, stood two figures.

One of them was a sturdy bald man, Kuro.

"Black Jue senior brother, the eldest brother has been absorbing that ore for a month now, but there's no movement at all. Do you think he..." The woman's beautiful eyes were filled with worry as she asked.

"Rest assured, Xiu Mei junior sister, senior brother's current physical form is very good. Absorbing just a spirit essence stone won't be a problem." Heijue chuckled, "He told me that absorbing one stone takes about a month, so it should be finished in these two days."

"Well, then I'm relieved." Xiu Mei said.

"By the way, why are you back alone today Where's Shizun Chenmu" Heijue asked.

"Zhenyun Senior Brother found something over there and needed help, so Shenmu Senior Brother went to the northwest region," Xiu Mei said.ou leaving already” Honglian asked."What else do you want to do It's freezing here, and there are no good restaurants around," Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "If you want to explore the secrets d...
