Chapter 320 - 149: Primordial Spirit Breaking Realm, Demon Alliance’s Bounty

Chapter 320: Chapter 149: Primordial Spirit Breaking Realm, Demon Alliance’s Bounty

Fang Xing smiled slightly. "Anything else?"

Clearing out Demons and Monsters—he had expected as much.

Hong Miaojin had arranged for him to fight the first battle. Her intention was clear: to motivate the others.

After all, one person’s strength was limited. Only by reinvigorating the Observatory could they hope to progress.

Hong Luan mulled it over for a moment, then looked at him. "My lord, there’s nothing else of note, except that when you entered seclusion, it caused quite a stir. Several of the Lord Governors came to visit."

"Mm, and over the past half-month, Lord Hong has asked about your seclusion multiple times, wanting to know when you would emerge."

"That’s all."

’Hong Miaojin was asking about me...’

’Nine times out of ten, that means there’s a mission.’

As the thought crossed his mind, Fang Xing downed his cup of tea in one gulp and stood up. "I’ll go see Lord Hong first."

"Yes!"

Stepping out of the Demon Suppression Mansion, Fang Xing headed straight for the Commander’s residence.

Soon, he arrived before the Commander’s residence. After announcing his presence, he was led inside.

As he reached the study, Hong Miaojin’s voice drifted out.

"Come straight in."

At her words, Fang Xing stepped into the study.

Hong Miaojin was leaning back in a Grandmaster’s Chair, her bright eyes sizing him up.

Fang Xing stepped forward and bowed with his hands clasped. "My lady, I have emerged from seclusion. Forgive me for the delay."

"True Gang Third Layer... Did your Primordial Spirit break through again?" Hong Miaojin asked, a strange light flashing in her eyes as she looked at him.

Fang Xing nodded. "I had an epiphany regarding my Primordial Spirit. It took me half a month to finally break through."

"Finally...?"

Hearing his words, Hong Miaojin felt her heart skip a beat. ’Why does that sound so infuriating?’

’I only manifested a Primordial Spirit when I broke through to the Celestial realm. And this guy seems dissatisfied?’

’This guy’s talent is truly a rare sight. You probably couldn’t find another person in the entire Great Jing with such an aptitude for the Divine Soul.’ Hong Miaojin was filled with emotion.

Even she couldn’t help but admire Fang Xing’s talent with the Divine Soul.

Not only had he cultivated a Primordial Spirit, but now it had reached an even higher level.

This step put him far ahead of so many others.

His advantage when it came to the Primordial Spirit was unparalleled.

"Help yourself to tea," Hong Miaojin said. Fang Xing didn’t stand on ceremony; he got up, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and refilled her cup as well.

Putting down the teapot, Fang Xing sat down and looked at Hong Miaojin. "My lady, I hear progress has been good these past few months. It seems your plan is working."

Hong Miaojin shot him a glance. "What’s the use of cleaning up a few small fry? We need to make the Demon Alliance truly feel the pain."

"!!!"

Hearing her words, Fang Xing’s heart gave a sudden lurch.

’That tone... it sounds like she’s planning a major move.’

"My lady, are you planning something big?"

Fang Xing looked at her.

Hong Miaojin nodded. "I have a plan, but it’s not fully formed yet. And I don’t trust those guys."

Fang Xing fell silent at her words.

He knew exactly who she was talking about.

The four Marshals.

Including Wei Qing.

Basically, all of them had ties to the forces of Demons and Monsters.

If not direct ties, then at least indirect connections.

As Marshals, they couldn’t escape responsibility for Qing Province’s current state.

"What do you intend to do, my lady?"

Fang Xing looked up at Hong Miaojin.

Hong Miaojin’s gaze shifted to the window. "We can’t make a major move yet. We can only strike on a small scale, chipping away at them bit by bit."

"And I’m entrusting this task to you."

"Do you have a specific region in mind, my lady?" Fang Xing didn’t refuse, but instead asked a question.

The Nine Commanderies and Twelve Prefectures of Qing Province was no small area, after all.

"Let’s start with South County. However, you need to be extra careful. The Demon Alliance has issued a bounty: a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure for your head."

Fang Xing: "...?"

"A bounty from the Demon Alliance?"

Hearing this, Fang Xing couldn’t help but frown.

’It sounds like my current situation is pretty grim!’

A Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure as a bounty... that was a very high price indeed.

It was worth at least ten million gold.

"A little scared?" Hong Miaojin asked, looking at him.

Fang Xing snapped out of his thoughts and shook his head. "Not really. It’s just a bounty from the Demon Alliance. We were on opposing sides to begin with."

Fang Xing was both surprised and unsurprised by the Demon Alliance’s bounty.

Even if they hadn’t put a bounty on him now, it was highly likely they would have in the future.

However, he was no longer a pushover.

With his supreme mastery of the Zongyi Ascension Step, if he couldn’t win a fight, he could still run away.

His current Martial Arts attainment had already reached the level of the true Shrinking Inches Divine Technique.

Traveling thousands of miles in a single day was no longer out of the question.

"Look, this is the bounty notice from the Demon Alliance." Hong Miaojin took out a piece of golden cloth.

Fang Xing looked at the details on the golden cloth.

The cloth contained only information, no portrait.

There was a description of his Cultivation and a rough estimate of his combat strength.

Looking at the bounty information, Fang Xing smiled faintly.

’All of this is old news. If they come after me based on this outdated information, I might just be able to ensure they never return.’

"You can still find something to smile about?" Hong Miaojin was astonished, seeing the grin on Fang Xing’s face.

"My lady, the information is inaccurate. Of course I’m happy about that," Fang Xing replied.

Hong Miaojin: "..."

"What if a True Essence Grandmaster comes after you? Wouldn’t you be finished? Don’t forget, a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure is highly attractive even to a Grandmaster," Hong Miaojin said, watching him.

"Then I’ll run," Fang Xing said, his expression calm.

Hearing his simple answer, Hong Miaojin couldn’t help but give him a long, deep look.
