Chapter 534 Pang Feihong
Shan Yu was naturally pleased with Fang Xiao's cooperation.
He can be said to have succeeded completely in this mission.
Therefore, Shan Yu said directly, "Since Brother Fang has already made his decision, then come with me to see King Zhong Dan. King Zhong Dan's idea is that before the reconstruction, Brother Fang can meet with Young Master Fang Hua. If there is anything to say, you can catch up first."
At this point, he suddenly slapped his forehead, revealing a hint of apology.
"I almost forgot! Young Master Fang Hua brought a token with him."
Fang Xiao was stunned—there was actually a token?
Without hesitation, Shan Yu took out a jade slip and handed it to Fang Xiao.
Fang Xiao carefully accepted it.
The familiar method of sealing... the familiar soul force...
Fang Xiao was almost moved to tears.
Shan Yu did not disturb Fang Xiao and waited for him to watch.
After Fang Xiao finished "reading" the contents of the jade slip, he looked somewhat pleased, but couldn't help but sigh.
The joy lay in the fact that the contents of the jade slip were actually meant for Fang Xiao; the sigh lay in the cautious tone of his words, as if he couldn't believe that Fang Xiao would still help him as he used to.
But Fang Xiao didn't mind.
For him, the fact that Fang Hua was alive was already a great blessing.
Fang Xiao quickly came to his senses and said that he would prepare the reward first and asked Shan Yu to go and rest first. He would send someone to invite him as soon as he was ready.
Knowing that the reward was too expensive and needed to be raised, Shan Yu went to rest in the courtyard where guests were being received.
Meanwhile, Fang Xiao was organizing resources while also bringing over his trusted confidants.
Admittedly, he had great faith in the prestige of the "Second Place on the Sky Ranking," but in recent years he had often gone into seclusion and hadn't paid much attention to the Sky Ranking. He also didn't know much about that King Zhong Dan, so he wanted to find someone to inquire about him before going there.
Her trusted confidante arrived quickly; she was a stern-faced woman known as Manager Lu.
Besides her own cultivation, Manager Lu was mainly responsible for supervising the actions of the sect leader and the elders. If anything went wrong, and after a period of observation it still deviated from the right path, she would report to Fang Xiao and ask him to make a decision.
Naturally, Steward Lu was also very well-informed, so that Fang Xiao could get very detailed answers whenever he came out of seclusion or asked her anytime.
Manager Lu also paid close attention to the Sky Ranking and tried to understand it as thoroughly as possible.
Upon hearing Fang Xiao's inquiry, Steward Lu respectfully replied, "King Zhong Dan is the most outstanding alchemist in history, and he is only [age missing]... His achievements are countless, and what I can find out is..."
As Fang Xiao listened to Manager Lu list the details one by one, his mood gradually relaxed and he became more and more at ease.
It seems this time it was pure luck.
Fang Xiao felt a surge of intense anger when he thought about how Fang Hua had suffered for so many years while trapped in the evil artifact.
·
Back then, Fang Xiao only wanted to improve his strength and become the most loyal subordinate of the young master Fang Hua.
He didn't actually have much affection for the old palace master, because the only person who had treated him extremely well from beginning to end was Fang Hua, and he was willing to go through fire and water for Fang Hua.
But Fang Xiao knew that he and the old palace master had something in common: they both valued Fang Hua immensely.
After Fang Hua disappeared, Fang Xiao disregarded everything else and focused solely on finding him. During this time, the old palace master also sent out many people. Although Fang Xiao suspected that something was wrong in the palace, he didn't devote too much attention to it because the old palace master was already investigating.
It wasn't until the old palace master also ran into trouble that Fang Xiao realized the situation was serious and hurried back.
Upon returning, Fang Xiao discovered that a trusted elder from a collateral branch of the palace, with the support of the Mo family, another family in the Nan Ke Domain, was attempting to ascend to the position of palace master.
The Mo family is the second largest family in the Southern Domain. One of their elders has also transformed into a spirit at some point.
The elder from the collateral branch trusted by the old palace master was also at the Spirit Transformation stage. In addition, the Mo family's overall strength was considerable, and this elder from the collateral branch was about to take over.
Fang Xiao knew very well that the old palace master, like himself, absolutely did not believe that the young palace master had perished, and naturally would never pass on the position to a collateral elder, even if the elder had already transformed into a spirit. The old palace master himself could live a long time and had even more time to wait for the young palace master to return.
However, with the young palace master missing first and the old palace master dying at an age when he shouldn't have, Fang Xiao immediately sensed something was wrong.
Therefore, Fang Xiao directly killed the Mo family's spirit.
The elder from the collateral branch came to help the Mo family with their spiritual transformation, but he was also killed by Fang Xiao.
It turns out that when Fang Xiao was searching for Fang Hua, he had another fortuitous encounter and successfully transformed into a spirit. Moreover, he has extremely high comprehension in combat and is extremely powerful in battle.
Fang Xiao fought two opponents single-handedly and emerged unscathed. Later, he went on to kill all the Mo family members who came to Xiaomeng Palace and all the collateral relatives involved in the matter.
No one can stop him.
Fang Xiao is a very ruthless person. Without Fang Hua, who could stop him, no one can stop him.
Later, Fang Xiao discovered that there were actually many spies from other forces within Xiaomeng Palace, with the Mo family having the most. Even the concubines of the branch elders and the old palace master had such people.
Fang Xiao carried out a second massacre and went to the Mo family with evidence, slaughtering all members of the Mo family who were involved in the matter.
Unfortunately, even though Fang Xiao slaughtered countless people, Fang Hua still couldn't be found...
Now that Fang Hua is very likely to return, Fang Xiao is eager to bring all his treasures and restore Fang Hua to his best condition.
·
Fang Xiao quickly got everything ready and then hosted a banquet for Shan Yu.
Shan Yu accepted it readily, and then led Fang Xiao to the location of the Red Mist Mountain Range.
Although the place has been razed to the ground, the alchemists who are busy working there are still there.
·
Zhong Cai was busy with her research when Shan Yu brought the person over.
Fang Xiao was not allowed to enter the research lab; only Shan Yu went in to report.
After hearing the report, Zhong Cai raised an eyebrow: "I'll go tell Fang Hua first."
Shan Yu went out to inform them.
Zhong Cai herself took out the Soul Nourishing Bottle and gently tapped it with her finger.
Fang Hua responded by tapping inside the bottle.
Zhong Cai said with a smile, "Your Xiaomeng Palace's Supreme Elder Fang Xiao has come in person. I heard that he's already willing to pay any price before even presenting any token." He raised his voice slightly, "He wants to see you now."
Fang Hua's voice rang out as well: "Thank you, King Zhong Dan. I... would also like to meet him."
Zhong Cai was in a good mood, so she called Shan Yu over again, handed him the Soul Nourishing Bottle, and said, "Go arrange a room for them to catch up." She then said to Fang Hua, "Whenever you want to rebuild yourself, come find me. If I'm in seclusion, you'll have to wait."
Fang Hua thanked him again.
Outside the door, Fang Xiao had been waiting anxiously for a long time.
After Shan Yu brought out a Soul Nourishing Bottle, Fang Xiao's gaze was uncontrollably drawn to the bottle.
Before long, the group arrived at a guest room.
Dan Yu directed the Soul Nourishing Bottle, turning its opening outwards.
Fang Xiao stared intently at that spot.
In an instant, a ball of light emerged, landed on the ground, and transformed into the appearance of a young boy.
Fang Xiao's pupils contracted, and he almost couldn't control himself as he took a few steps forward.
The young man's primordial spirit looked at Fang Xiao, his expression filled with complex emotions.
“Ah Xiao”.
Fang Xiao knelt down, his eyes red-rimmed, and said in a deep voice, "Young Palace Master."
—At this moment, Shan Yu had already left and closed the door tightly.

The first servant who set off quickly returned with the people, and the second servant who set off finally arrived at the location of the Pang and Ji families.
These two companies are located in the same central region, Qingshan Region.
The main reason is that the Qingshan Mountains are located at the center of this region, which contain abundant resources and nurture many forces within them.
Although both the Pang and Ji families are level eight forces, there are as many as nine level eight forces in this domain, and the two families are only ranked in the lower middle.
The Pang, Ji, and Li families are of similar status and have often intermarried to maintain their positions.
The first wife of the Pang family head was Ji Hui, and the second wife was a girl from the Li family.
Ji Hui's son, Pang Feihong, was indeed quite famous in the Qingshan Region, and even had a reputation in several surrounding regions. However, besides his youthful heroism, he also had a unique hobby—
Robbery.
Yes, Pang Feihong likes to rob.
When he first came out of the mountains, he already had a fondness for robbery. However, he usually liked to disguise himself as a rich but incompetent playboy, and then go to the wilderness to "fish". If someone attacked him first, he would kill the other party and then sweep away all their wealth, taking it all for himself.
Because of his powerful background, and because others always make the first move, and those who do so are often evil cultivators or wicked people, although many people dislike him, they can't really do anything about him.
When he becomes stronger, he will specifically follow the direction of evil cultivators, and after finding and killing them, he will also plunder all their wealth.
Of course, he doesn't have evil cultivators everywhere to find him. When he can't catch anyone by "fishing" and there's no trace of the evil cultivators, he'll spend a little money to buy information about those cultivators who have done evil, then kill them and plunder their wealth.
If others question him, he'll spout off about "acting on behalf of Heaven."
Even if others know that his intention is robbery, they are still helpless against him because he never targets good people.
Pang Feihong has many defensive measures. He seems to enjoy robbing, but he also knows that he is hated and is very afraid of death. Therefore, even if someone dislikes him and wants to assassinate him, he can still live well. Occasionally, he will be seriously injured, but when he reappears, he will be even stronger.
Pang Feihong is now a prominent figure in the Pang family and one of its most powerful members.
However, Pang Feihong's relationship with the Pang and Ji families was very ordinary. He was always traveling (robbing) outside and would not return unless he was seriously injured and needed to recuperate.
Even when he was recuperating, he always stayed at the Pang family's residence and almost never went to the Ji family's...

The second special golden-armored soldier was named Shi Cheng. After arriving in Qingshan Domain, he also carefully gathered information first.
Regarding Kiho from back then...
Centuries have passed, and many people no longer know who she was. Some people may have some impression of her, only mentioning the first wife of the Pang family.
It is said that the lady disappeared during her training. The Pang family searched for her for a long time, but after ten years there was still no news. Only then did the Pang family head decide to marry another lady.
The Ji family originally intended to send another woman for a marriage alliance, but for some reason, the second wife ended up being from the Li family.
After pondering for a while, Shi Cheng chose to contact the Purple Robe Pavilion, which frequently traded information with Pang Feihong, and asked them to send a message to Pang Feihong.
The main point of his message was that he had news about Kiho.
