447: 260 Old Friend_2 447: 260 Old Friend_2 In the Prince’s mansion of Dan State, there naturally exists a personal guard office.
The leader of the personal guard, officially called the Head, a genuine Thousand Household Commander, was entirely responsible for the Prince’s security work.
This important position was often held by soone from the Imperial Family.
Fan Zhenglun could never have expected that Ji Xiangjun, the Head of the personal guard and a relative of the Prince, would personally visit the Six Void Sect.
Ji Xiangjun was a woman, her age unknown, appearing quite young.
She wore a majestic and authoritative dragon and fish uniform, her long hair tied at the waist, looking valiant and formidable.
Her face blossod like peach flowers, her hands like fine porcelain, smooth and textured.
“Sect Master Fan, please rise.”
Ji Xiangjun, taking graceful steps, made a slight lifting gesture with her hand.
Her deanor exuded an elegant and composed temperant, as if everything was under her control, leaving people irresistibly chard.
Fan Zhenglun stood up, trembling, and welcod Ji Xiangjun inside the hall to take a seat.
Ji Xiangjun sat down at ease and got straight to the point, “Sect Master Fan, I heard that you visited the Extre Yin Sect a few days ago?”
Fan Zhenglun’s mind was stirred, responding, “Responding to the Head, I indeed went there and stayed for three or four days before returning.”
Ji Xiangjun nodded slightly and stated directly, “Hmm, then let get right to the point, is the Gongxi Clan still alive?”
Fan Zhenglun’s breathing tightened; he did not know how the news had leaked, disturbing soone from the personal guard office was the worst possible scenario.
This was big trouble.
Seeing his reaction, Ji Xiangjun smiled and said, “My personal guard office is not only responsible for the Prince’s security but also for gathering intelligence.
The eyes of my personal guard office cover all major powers in Dan State, including the Extre Yin Sect, and naturally, your Six Void Sect as well.”
Fan Zhenglun took a deep breath and said, “Since the Head already knows the truth, why bother asking an old man like ?”
Ji Xiangjun laughed, “I only know that Gongxi Xiong and others quietly sneaked into the Extre Yin Restricted Area and never ca back out.
What exactly happened there, I do not know.”
Fan Zhenglun realized and after thinking it through, not daring to lie to the personal guard office, explained carefully, “Gongxi Xiong conspired with Zhuang Dao’e intending to harm Ning Yuesu but was killed instead, and the entire group died.”
Ji Xiangjun raised her eyebrows, slightly astonished, “I know of Gongxi Xiong’s abilities, which are acknowledged by all.
Who within the Extre Yin Sect could have killed him?”
Fan Zhenglun paused and replied, “I did not witness the events myself, but from what I know, Gongxi Xiong and the others were killed by Ning Yuesu and Fang Zhixing, who turned the tables using the special environnt of the Extre Yin Restricted Area.”
Ji Xiangjun’s eyes sparkled, smacking her lips and said, “Oh, it seems the intelligence was correct, Fang Zhixing was also involved.”
Fan Zhenglun imdiately added, “He was rely caught up unwittingly.”
Ji Xiangjun laughed heartily, “There’s no such thing as too many accidents, Fang Zhixing first killed You Buchou, then Gongxi Xiong, none of this is sothing ordinary people could achieve.”
She gazed deeply at Fan Zhenglun, stating seriously, “Sect Master Fan, a person’s brilliance cannot be completely concealed!”
Fan Zhenglun involuntarily gasped, falling silent.
Indeed, Fang Zhixing was indeed too conspicuous.
Those influential figures weren’t blind; they couldn’t possibly overlook the presence of Fang Zhixing.
Ji Xiangjun chuckled, “Sect Master Fan, please tell everything about Fang Zhixing.”
Fan Zhenglun’s lips twitched, his expression turning solemn, “Honestly, I don’t know much about him.”
Next, he elaborately talked about the relationship between his founding ancestor, that extraordinary person, and Fang Zhixing.
He concluded, “In short, he is the successor of that extraordinary person, shrouded in mystery.
I did not inquire too much about his origins.”
Hearing this, Ji Xiangjun tilted her head, sinking into thought.
After a mont, she spoke again, “The Gongxi Clan is the number one family under the Four Major Families, and their entire elite being unexpectedly annihilated was beyond everyone’s expectations.
Once the news spreads, it will certainly cause significant upheaval.
Logically speaking, power prevails, whoever annihilated the Gongxi Clan has the right to replace them.”
However, the Prince definitely would not support an unknown person replacing the Gongxi Clan.”
Fan Zhenglun firmly stated, “Fang Zhixing has no intention of replacing the Gongxi Clan; he just wants peace.”
Ji Xiangjun huffed, speaking sternly, “Be that as it may, with Fang Zhixing’s strength—a re wave of his hand was enough to destroy a family—how could such a powerful man be content to remain subservient all his life?”
Fan Zhenglun was shaken and asked, “What does the Head imply?”
Ji Xiangjun continued, “The Prince can’t possibly let Fang Zhixing do as he pleases.
Today he wipes out one sect, tomorrow another family; how can this be tolerated?
He must be controlled.”
Fan Zhenglun couldn’t help but ask, “How do you wish to control him?”
Ji Xiangjun was prepared and directly responded, “I have not yet t Fang Zhixing and am not very familiar with his background.”
“How about this, you invite representatives from the top ten sects to co to your Six Void Sect as guests and have Fang Zhixing exchange moves with the experts from various sects?
How does that sound?”
“…Agreed!”
Fan Zhenglun dared not disobey, and nodded in agreent, asking, “When?”
Ji Xiangjun replied, “I’ll give you three days to prepare.
Is that enough?”
Fan Zhenglun sighed deeply.
The Six Void Sect was determined to remain secluded from the world, but the trees long for peace while the winds will not quiet—it was terribly frustrating!
After sending Ji Xiangjun off, Fan Zhenglun imdiately summoned the elders to discuss matters.
Then, the mbers scattered to send out invitations to the various major sects.
Fan Zhenglun rested not a mont, personally heading to the Extre Yin Sect.
Soon, he t Fang Zhixing.
“Oh, Luo Keji ca looking for …”
After listening to Fan Zhenglun’s account, Fang Zhixing chuckled, a playful expression appearing on his face.
Luo Keji had once treated him as a lackey, commanding him at will and squeezing him dry.
However, once Fang Zhixing beca trouble, Luo Keji did not hesitate to cast him aside.
“After ten years, Luo Keji has also beco a significant figure,”
a limitless sense of expectation surged on Fang Zhixing’s face.
At that mont, he looked forward eagerly to rendezvousing with Luo Keji, curious about the expression that would appear on Luo Keji’s face.
Fan Zhenglun earnestly said, “These are orders directly issued by the Head; no one can resist.
You must accept the challenge from the experts of the top ten sects, and it must be a gauntlet match.
Can you manage?”
Without any hesitation, Fang Zhixing smiled, “Such things can’t be evaded, what’s ant to co will always arrive, so let the storm be even more fierce.”
The two then returned to the Six Void Sect.
Before they knew it, three days had passed.
That morning, the road leading to the Six Void Sect was bustling with people.
The Six Void Palace, for the first ti, invited the other nine major sects as guests.
No, it should be the eight major sects, as the Fenghai Sect had essentially ceased to exist.
Behind the scenes, the Head helped stir things up.
Thus, the news spread rapidly, attracting many people from Jianghu to co and join in on the excitent.
In addition to so smaller sects and families, many people ca, even representatives from the Four Major Families attended to watch the battles.
For a ti, the Six Void Palace was packed with guests, bustling in a way never seen before.
Such an event was rare to see even once in several centuries.
Because of this, everyone in the Six Void Sect was extrely busy.
They constructed an enormous viewing platform that could accommodate thousands of spectators.
Outside, the sounds of drums and gongs filled the air, while inside, there was peace.
Fan Zhenglun was seriously introducing the situation:
“Fenghai Sect is already finished.
The Extre Yin Sect stands with us.
Your main pressure cos from the other eight families, naly the Flying Phoenix Sect, Cloud Water Sect, Miao Yin Pavilion, Ink Sword Sect, Qingliang Temple…”
The elderly man listed the experts from each major sect, taking stock of them all.
Fang Zhixing listened quietly, his expression calm.
After a short while, soone ca to report: “The Head is here.”
Fan Zhenglun and Fang Zhixing imdiately stood up to welco him.
Ji Xiangjun walked in slowly, his gaze fixed on Fang Zhixing, sizing him up without stopping, and smiled, “You truly look distinguished.
I imagine your strength is imasurable.”
Fang Zhixing clasped his hands and said, “Head, you flatter .
I was able to kill You Buchou because Sect Master Fan distracted him.
As for Gongxi Xiong, I was just lucky to kill him.”
Ji Xiangjun was unconvinced, smiling, “Luck is also part of strength.”
