Chapter 674: Chapter 674
The Peak Master of the Extreme Sword Peak and others instinctively looked toward Wang Zhenlong. When they saw him shake his head, they fell silent, their expressions complicated.
It wasn't strange for cultivators to have multiple masters. However, apart from families and sects that coexist, it was absolutely forbidden for disciples to be affiliated with two different factions. That was a rule. However... since the Three Thousand Dao Sect no longer existed, this can be reluctantly excluded from the rules.
"Did he just challenge Ouyang Haoyu to question his Dao?"
"Although he isn't an Immortal Seedling from birth, he is an Ouyang and has the bloodline of an Immortal King flowing in him... Besides, he's at the Enlightenment Realm. What qualifications does Fang Chen have to challenge him?"
"During the incident at Immortal Dyansty Manor, Fang Chen was able to threaten Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, but he still has a long way to go before going against Enlightenment Realm cultivators, right? Does he plan to use those madman-like methods again?"
"Wait, since he is a disciple of the Heavenly Cloud Emperor and has displayed such terrifying and extraordinary abilities, could he possibly possess the true inheritance of the Heavenly Cloud Emperor?"
"Not necessarily. Anyone who experienced the Immortal Dynasty Manor battle knows that his strongest technique should be the sword, while another method has something to do with the Incense Dao."
Ouyang Xuanzhen's gaze fell on Fang Chen, and after silently observing him for a few breaths, he suddenly turned his cold mocking gaze toward Wang Zhenlong. "Aren't you also keeping a disciple who has received the Heavenly Cloud Emperor's inheritance under your wing? You must also be coveting his inheritance."
Although these words were spoken softly, they echoed throughout the Ancient Demon Wasteland, and all the cultivators heard them clearly.
“The Void Immortal Sword Sect!?”
“I knew it! He must be a disciple of the Void Immortal Sword Sect; no wonder he protected Demoness Yu back then.”
“Keep your voice down; those sword cultivators are all around.”
“…He's right. Since Fang Chen is a disciple of the Void Immortal Sword Sect and now identifies himself as a disciple of the Three Thousand Dao Sect, if he dies today, what then? If this isn't clarified, Great Expansion Dao Gate members won't dare to make a move lightly.”
Even a blind person could see that the Great Expansion Dao Gate had the weakest foundation among the three major Dao Sects. Not to mention comparing it to the Void Immortal Sword Sect; any power at the level of an Immortal Court could easily crush them
Wang Zhenlong smiled but did not respond to Ouyang Xuanzhen. Instead, he turned to Fang Chen. “My dear disciple, today you are identifying yourself as a disciple of the Three Thousand Dao Sect. If you die, neither the Void Immortal Sword Sect nor I will come to your aid. Think carefully about this.”
The crowd was once again in an uproar.
“Fang Chen… is actually a disciple of Supreme Emperor Wang from the Void Immortal Sword Sect!?”
“I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. I heard death always looms over Supreme Emperor Wang's disciples. Two of his disciples had died.”
“What do you think… if the Void Immortal Sword Sect doesn't back him up, will Fang Chen dare to continue questioning the Dao with the Great Expansion Dao Gate?”
“He is a sword cultivator; asking such a question shows a lack of wisdom. Sword cultivators are single-minded and wouldn't think so much about things,” someone remarked.
As if to confirm that person's words, Fang Chen's voice rang out again, “I am Fang Chen of the Three Thousand Dao Sect, and today I ask you about the Dao; between us, only one of us can survive.”
Wang Zhenlong's lips curled into a slight smile as he glanced at Ouyang Xuanzhen: “Do you understand? He is representing the Three Thousand Dao Sect.”
“Hahaha,” laughed Ouyang mockingly, looking at Fang Chen. “Young friend, back at the Immortal Dynasty Manor, even those at the Dao Union Realm couldn't match you. Those kinds of methods are far beyond your current cultivation level, aren't they?”
The crowd wore strange expressions. “Indeed… If he employs such means, wouldn't those below the Dao Union Realm in the Great Expansion Dao Gate suffer greatly?”
Fang Chen replied indifferently, “I was merely possessed at that time. Fortunately, an esteemed elder helped me, allowing me to barely survive. You won't see that a second time. You don't have to worry.”
If it isn't a high-ranking expert from the Incense Sect acting behind the scenes, the only other explanation could only be possession. Sometimes, being possessed can indeed be more extraordinary than going mad.
Ouyang Xuanzhen nodded gently and stopped speaking. At that moment, Ouyang Haoyu no longer had any concerns. The trepidation in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a strong killing intent.
“Are you sure you want to question my Dao? The gap in our cultivation levels is as vast as the chasm between heaven and earth.”
“Good disciple, go ahead and unleash your abilities. As long as you don't die during the questioning, you will still be my disciple in the Void Immortal Sword Sect afterward. No one will dare to act against you,” Wang Zhenlong's voice rang out again.
Fang Chen turned his gaze to another cultivator from the Great Expansion Dao Gate and cupped his fist in salute. “I'm Fang Chen from the Three Thousand Dao Sect, today I ask you about the Dao; only one of us can live.”
Unlike last time, this time he had an eerily smiling black paper figure by his side as he said that.
The cultivator who had been questioned immediately shuddered, his face turning pale. He asked subconsciously, “You… you're a sword cultivator, why aren't you using your sword?!”
“Today is about questioning the Dao, not the sword,” replied Fang Chen indifferently.
