Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 518: Exposed by the Heaven Profound Mirror

Fang Chen furrowed his brows slightly. "So this is Heavenly King Zhen Manor…."

After all that effort, every move they made was being monitored constantly?

Fairy Yu was grim. "Lord, this is the Heaven Profound Mirror that is similar to the Starlight Transmission Talisman. Many cultivators in the Central Continent Empire would buy one. Normally, one can browse through some news regarding the rankings and also some important information that sects would post occasionally on it."

She continued, "I don't know how the Heavenly King Zhen Manor put us on there. No wonder I've been sought after no matter where I go these years. They are indeed wealthy."

Fang Chen was surprised. "Wealthy?"

Fairy Yu elaborated, "Simply using the Heaven Profound Mirror only requires low-grade spirit stones, but if you want to post messages on it, you need to consume medium-grade spirit stones. If you want the message to spread to a wider audience, you might need to use the legendary high-grade spirit stones.

"Now that they have publicly displayed our whereabouts in the Heaven Profound Mirror, its means they are consuming medium-grade spirit stones almost every second."

Fairy Yu looked angry. It wasn't the exposure of their identities that bothered her, but the fact that they were constantly being watched without her knowledge. Even the scene of her sleeping might have been seen.

"So you mean, they also saw the scene when I was practicing the Radiant Divine Eyes?"

"No, if they were monitoring us every moment, there wouldn't be batches of Golden Core Realm cultivators coming to us one after another."

Fang Chen's thoughts moved, then he said to Fairy Yu, "Step back a bit and try."

Hearing that, Fairy Yu took two steps back.

And indeed, the image in the bronze mirror changed as she moved.

The image was from Fairy Yu's point of view. However, it wasn't entirely without blind spots. At least, it couldn’t see the scene above Fairy Yu's head. At most, the people watching might have seen him drink the spirit medicine, but they couldn't have seen the sky full of sword formations. Even the scene of him slaying the three Immortal Seedlings shouldn't have been seen by them. They could at most guess what happened.

"Mom, there are people in the mirror!" a child exclaimed in amazement, pointing at Fang Chen and the others.

His mother, upon hearing this, quickly covered the child's mouth. "I told you not to point fingers at people randomly!"

Glancing at Fang Chen and the others with fear in her eyes, she led the child to hide behind the crowd. Many nearby cultivators were observing the Heaven Profound Mirror and looking toward Fang Chen and the others. However, they were mostly focused on Fang Chen.

Suddenly, a curious Golden Core Realm cultivator called out to Fang Chen. "Daoist, do you really believe the Spirit Blood Sect has framed Fairy Yu in order to provoke a conflict with the third young master of the Heavenly King Zhen Manor?"

Fang Chen sighed inwardly. It seemed that the Heaven Profound Mirror had broadcasted some of his conversations with Fairy Yu. Speaking of which, this was a good thing. At least the Void Immortal Sword Sect and Heavenly King Zhen Manor would thoroughly investigate that matter.

Fang Chen thought for a moment and replied casually, "Do I even need to say it? Apart from the Spirit Blood Sect Cultivators, who else would use such despicable means behind the scenes? However, they've picked the right person indeed. If it weren't for Gai Wu being a despicable person, both the Void Immortal Sword Sect and the Heavenly King Zhen Manor wouldn't have been manipulated like puppets."

The crowd gasped in shock, falling into silence. Even the cultivator who had just raised some questions felt embarrassed after Fang Chen said that. Fang Chen openly calling Gai Wu despicable had thoroughly offended Heavenly King Zhen Manor.

In the distance, on an open-air pavilion, a group of young men and women stood quietly. Leading them were a young man and woman, their appearances somewhat similar, and their auras unfathomable.

When they heard Fang Chen mention Gai Wu and describe him as despicable, the two of them exchanged a knowing smile on the pavilion.

The young man chuckled softly and said, "It seems our third brother's reputation has been completely tarnished."

The young woman smiled. "It's his own fault for being so incompetent, tarnishing the reputation of the manor along with him."

"Since you two seem to dislike Gai Wu so much, why did you summon us here?" someone asked with a faint smile. "Instead of wasting time like this, why not focus on cultivation? These petty quarrels between the younger generation are quite boring."

One them people in the group interjected, "That demoness from the Void Immortal Sword Sect is not worth mentioning. Even if we ignore her, she won't live for long anyway; the Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo will take her life first. However, the person beside her killed the Immortal Seedling of my Immortal Giant Sect. This debt will surely be settled."

The speaker was like a small mountain and stood out within the group.

He glared at Fang Chen grimly, his eyes flashing with killing intent. Then he turned to Gai Hong and said, "Daoist Gai, the agreement between the Void Immortal Sword Sect and Heavenly King Zhen Manor only applies to that demoness. Why hasn't your manor sent a few Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to kill this person?"

"How do you know... that we haven't sent any Nascent Soul Realm cultivators?" Gai Hong suddenly countered, causing everyone to be slightly surprised.

Gai Yunnuo chuckled lightly. "My third brother's mother was very anxious to avenge him, so without permission, she sent three Soul Splitting Realm, nine Enlightenment Realm and twenty Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to kill him. Can you guess what happened?"

"They didn't all die, did they?"

Since Fang Chen and the others were standing there unharmed, it seemed that the forces the mother had sent had already perished.

"Yes, they all died." Gai Yunnuo smiled. "Because of this, that woman was also punished. After all, because of her selfish desires, she caused the deaths of many experts from the manor."

The cultivator from the Immortal Giant Sect frowned slightly. "It seems this person also has powerful backers behind him. But... can your manor endure this?"

"With my father's temperament, naturally not," Gai Hong said lightly. "But the manor has received a message from a certain lady, suggesting that this battle should not involve Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. Besides, we have recently discovered some traces of the Spirit Blood Sect."

“My father doesn't really care about it. After all, my third brother hasn't really died. Speaking of losses, it's actually the Void Immortal Sword Sect that suffered. However, we must still regain some face, so he asked me and Yunnuo to come back together. If they can leave the Immortal Dynasty Holy Land today, my manor won't trouble them anymore, and this matter will be considered settled.”

“What if they can't leave?”

“Naturally, they will die here.”

Gai Hong wore an expression of indifference, as if Fang Chen’s life or death didn't matter to him. This was clearly a trivial matter to him.

The representative from the Immortal Giant Sect snorted. "The Immortal Candidates of the Immortal Giant Sect cannot die in vain."

After that, he scanned the area and frowned. "There's no movement from the Innate Dao Sect and the Great Expansion Dao Gate? They've lost an Immortal Seedling each."

Gai Hong chuckled lightly. "These Dao sects act behind the scenes. They must be scheming in secret. We don't need to pay attention to them. Should we let them prepare and then take action?"

The others nodded slightly and ignited their transmission tokens one after the other.

At the same time, young men and women appeared in various locations of the Immortal Dynasty Holy Land were all heading toward the same direction.
