Chapter 322: Chapter 150: Annihilating the Sect

"True Gang Third Layer!"

"This boy is a true demon fiend!"

Sensing the aura emanating from Fang Xing, Wei Qing grew uneasy.

If he remembered correctly, it had only been a few months since Fang Xing broke through to the True Gang realm.

Three months ago, his cultivation was only at the True Gang First Layer.

But now, his cultivation had skyrocketed all the way to the True Gang Third Layer.

’This guy... could he be the reincarnation of some Celestial Giant?’

The thought flashed through his mind.

In just a few months, he had reached a level that others couldn’t achieve in one or two years.

This speed of cultivation, combined with his terrifying combat prowess...

It was simply inhuman.

Even he, a True Essence Grandmaster, felt a flicker of trepidation from the Qi and blood emanating from Fang Xing.

"Lord Wei, what brings you here?" Fang Xing’s voice cut through the air, instantly pulling Wei Qing back to his senses.

Suppressing the turbulent waves in his heart, Wei Qing smiled and said, "Oh, it’s nothing important. I just came to see you, Lord Fang. To have made such progress after only a few months in seclusion... you will surely have a great future ahead of you."

"Lord Wei, you flatter me. I simply put in a little more effort than others."

’Bullshit... Only a ghost would believe you,’ Wei Qing grumbled internally, wanting to roll his eyes.

’A little effort? Is this something that can be achieved through effort alone?!’

The more he thought about it, the more convinced he was that Fang Xing was the reincarnation of a Celestial Giant.

He was perfectly clear on Fang Xing’s background.

To have climbed to such a level in just a few years—this kind of monstrous growth was simply beyond the pale.

If he wasn’t the reincarnation of a Celestial Giant, then he must be someone blessed with great opportunities and immense fortune.

...

"Lord Fang, what are your plans now?" Wei Qing asked with a smile.

Unconsciously, Wei Qing had already started treating Fang Xing, this Demon Suppression Envoy, as an equal.

Even if his strength wasn’t yet on par, with his rate of growth, he was bound to have a place for himself in the Great Jing empire’s future.

He had a powerful backer in Hong Miaojin, as well as his own incredible potential and ferocious, invincible combat strength.

As long as he didn’t die, his future was practically guaranteed.

Hearing Wei Qing’s question, Fang Xing glanced at him and said impassively, "I don’t have any specific plans. After being in seclusion for several months, I should probably get out and stretch my legs."

"Get out and stretch my legs..."

Hearing Fang Xing’s words, Wei Qing’s heart skipped a beat.

The last time he said he was just going out for a stroll, that "stroll" ended up setting off an earthquake.

He even ended up on the Demon Alliance’s bounty list.

’This guy is definitely up to something...’ Wei Qing’s eyelid twitched.

He grew more certain in his heart.

When he was still, he was still. But when he moved, he was bound to stir up a storm.

And the stronger he was, the bigger the waves would be!

"Lord Wei, your accomplishments these past few months have been quite impressive. I believe Lord Hong will entrust you with great responsibilities in the future," Fang Xing said with a smile.

’Great responsibilities? Who could possibly compare to you...’ Wei Qing thought to himself, then squeezed out a smile and looked at him. "Lord Fang, you’re too kind. I have been in my position for many years; I’m afraid it’s difficult for me to make any new achievements."

"But now is a time of great change. It’s the perfect opportunity for Lord Wei to achieve great things," Fang Xing said lightly.

Hearing this, Wei Qing couldn’t help but laugh out loud. "Lord Fang, you overestimate me. My meager abilities are hardly enough to catch Lord Hong’s eye."

’This old fox... he’s a complete fence-sitter.’

Fang Xing sighed inwardly.

He was beginning to understand the difficulties Hong Miaojin was facing.

Although she was the esteemed Commander of a Province, she had very few capable people under her command. While the four Marshals all followed her orders, in reality, they just had their subordinates make a few token gestures.

However, it was impossible to instantly reverse a situation that had been developing in the Southern Border for many years.

In the Southern Border, the Demon Alliance was the true overlord of the darkness.

...

"Lord Fang, I will take my leave for now. I hope we have a chance to work together again."

After chatting for a while, Wei Qing stood up and said so.

Fang Xing nodded and stood up as well. "Take care, Lord Wei."

"Hong Luan, please see Lord Wei out."

"Yes!"

Hong Luan nodded and then left with Wei Qing.

Watching the two of them leave, Fang Xing sat down again.

He took a sip of tea and reviewed the documents once more.

A short while later, Hong Luan returned.

"My Lord, Lord Wei just asked me about your plans."

Hong Luan replied with a bow.

Fang Xing raised an eyebrow and looked at Hong Luan. "And what did you tell him?"

Hong Luan raised her eyes to meet his gaze directly. "My Lord, Hong Luan answered that you were planning to go out, and that I knew nothing else."

Fang Xing looked into her eyes, staring at her quietly for a long moment before finally nodding. "You may go. While I am away, do not neglect your cultivation."

"This subordinate obeys!" Hong Luan nodded and departed.

’She’s sensible enough, but... I’ll still have to observe her over time.’ Fang Xing’s eyes flickered.

Although he had accepted Hong Luan as his Steward, he had never let his guard down.

After all, she was recommended by Wei Qing.

He had investigated all of Hong Luan’s information, and it was clean, but he still needed to observe her.

Only time can reveal a person’s true heart.

"South County..."

’It seems this Governor is also deeply involved with Demons and Monsters.’

’Yes, I’ll take it slow. Clean them up one by one.’

As the thought passed, Fang Xing rose to his feet. Gang Qi swirled around him, and in the next instant, he vanished without a sound from the Demon Suppression Mansion.

...

Outside Qing Province City.

Fang Xing glanced back at the ancient, thousand-year-old city, then his gaze shifted to the distance. His figure vanished from where he stood.

—

「Qing Province, South County.」

Among the nine counties, South County was considered upper-middle tier.

It encompassed twenty-six lesser counties, a territory stretching for thousands of miles.

The morning sun rose into the sky.

The light from the horizon shone down upon the lands of South County.

Fang Xing’s figure appeared in Canghe County.

Canghe was a riverside county town in the northern part of South County.
