Chapter 518: Chapter 219: The Extre of Saber, Pure Origin! (Requesting Monthly Votes)
Lu Fang…
Chen Yuan looked at the young Daoist in front of him and seed to have so impression of him.
Among the people who ca to congratulate him during the day, the two geniuses from the Yuhua Immortal Sect were the only ones to co without being invited, and the gifts they offered were second only to his second brother, Chen Yi.
In his mory, after this young Daoist nad Lu Fang arrived at the Zhou Residence, he did not do anything particularly outrageous.
Unexpectedly, it was him…
Thinking of this.
Chen Yuan held his forehead with one hand, gripped the Absolute Blade with the other, stared at him intently, and asked in a cold voice:
“Are you not a disciple of the Yuhua Immortal Sect?”
“Of course not.”
Lu Fang had a smile on the corner of his mouth as he walked in from under the main hall’s eaves, his steps light as if he were in a very good mood, or as if he felt at ease as though he were coming ho.
And those seemingly leisurely steps brought him in front of Chen Yuan in the blink of an eye, and he looked at the Spring Rain Sword at Chen Yuan’s side.
“Nice sword.”
Lu Fang clicked his tongue, reaching out to touch the hilt of the Spring Rain Sword.
Only after finding no reaction did he confidently grip the hilt and slightly draw out a section of the sword to take a look.
“What a pity…”
“If it had stayed by the Heroic Marquis’s side, perhaps it could soon give birth to an ‘Artifact Spirit.’
Chen Yuan’s expression grew increasingly grave, and he continuously recited the Confucian cultivation technique, “Calming Song” in his heart to calm his turbulent mind.
He had realized that the person in front of him was likely the “hidden” individual that the Left Minister had ntioned to be concealed within the Wei Dynasty!
“Who on earth are you?”
“Ah, my apologies, my apologies,” Lu Fang returned the Spring Rain Sword to its scabbard, a fake apologetic expression appearing on his face:
“Upon seeing such a sword belonging to a Divine Power Realm Sword Cultivator, I was montarily captivated by its allure, almost forgetting the purpose of my visit.”
“As I just said, I am here to represent ‘Extre Purity Heaven’ to invite the Marquis to join.”
Chen Yuan tightened his grip on the Absolute Blade in his hand, his eyes faintly showing a hidden blue hue, and asked:
“Why should I join your ‘Extre Purity Heaven’? And why are you inviting ?”
“It’s a bit complicated to explain,” Lu Fang scratched his head, saying with a troubled expression:
“Those invited by ‘Extre Purity Heaven’ must et two conditions, and it so happens that the Marquis satisfies both, hence my invitation.”
“As for why you should join, well… ‘Extre Purity Heaven’ has never failed to invite those it intends to!”
The words “overbearing” echoed in Chen Yuan’s mind; after pondering for a mont, he asked: “What conditions?”
He no longer considered whether the other party would fail.
No matter whether ‘Extre Purity Heaven’ was the culprit behind the Zhou Family’s decline, he was determined to join it!
Lu Fang smiled and held up two fingers, saying: “First is ‘Extre’; your Absolute Blade is one of the ‘Extre.'”
“Second is ‘Purity,’ not the ‘Six Root Pure’ of the Buddhist sect, but rather purity of background.”
“Like the Marquis, severing ties with the Chen Family is one; if you can further cut ties with the Zhou Family affection, then you are the most suitable person for ‘Extre Purity Heaven.’
Chen Yuan’s eyes sharpened, “Sever ties?”
Lu Fang’s smile deepened, “For example, slaying the Old Marquis, severing and letting go, you must lose sothing, right?”
Seeing Chen Yuan’s gaze turn instantly icy, Lu Fang hastily waved his hand and said:
“Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, I was just giving an example.”
“After all, there’s only one Old Marquis; if you slay him, it would be aningless for anyone else to do so.”
The first sentence had a hint of apology, but by the later sentence, Lu Fang’s face already bore a suggestive expression.
Chen Yuan frowned slightly, recalling what Chen Yi had ntioned during the day.
Could he be referring to Chen Yi wanting to kill the grandfather?
“In any case, the Marquis ets the conditions for my ‘Extre Purity Heaven,’ and finding you on the Tianyuan Continent was an unexpected delight.”
Lu Fang chuckled twice, though his gaze held not a trace of amusent, “Marquis, surely you won’t refuse, right?”
Chen Yuan stared at him for a long while, then slowly released the sword hilt, letting his flowing silver-white hair fall onto his shoulders.
“What benefits are there to joining ‘Extre Purity Heaven’?”
“There are many benefits.”
“Such as?”
“Benefits…” Lu Fang folded his arms, pondered, and then lifted a hand to his chin: “There are plenty!”
The playful banter did not sway Chen Yuan’s mind further.
He could see that Lu Fang didn’t seem genuinely eager to invite him.
Though he seed to speak extensively about ‘Extre Purity Heaven,’ upon closer thought, Lu Fang rely revealed the conditions for joining it, as if…
As if Lu Fang ca to invite him on a whim, possibly with another agenda!
Upon this realization.
Chen Yuan asked: “If I join, what would ‘Extre Purity Heaven’ need to do?”
Lu Fang appeared sowhat bewildered, surprisedly looking at him: “Do you have nothing else to ask?”
Chen Yuan shook his head.
Lu Fang’s face suddenly changed, as if angry that his plan was thwarted, leaving only a grim smile:
“Marquis, why don’t you continue asking questions?”
“Acting so hastily robs of much amusent!”
Chen Yuan looked at him calmly and said softly:
“Your expression right now is very much like ‘his,’ equally mad, equally cold and ruthless.”
“Is that so?”
Lu Fang’s grim expression disappeared, and seeing Chen Yuan’s calm face, he lost interest, waved his hand as if unwilling to speak more.
“For now, my lord does not require the Marquis’s assistance; just pretend nothing happened.”
As he spoke, Lu Fang flicked his wrist, revealing a token of unknown material in his palm.
“Keep it.”
Chen Yuan accepted it and glanced at it, the front inscribed with the word “soldier,” and the back with the seal-script characters for “Extre Purity Heaven.”
“Soldier?”
“The soldier of ‘military,'” Lu Fang’s mouth curled as he awkwardly explained:
“The Lord Heavenly Master hails from a Military Family, calls himself ‘General,’ and beneath him are four ranks: ‘Captain,’ ‘Lieutenant,’ ‘Sergeant,’ ‘Soldier.’
Military Family…
Chen Yuan noted it to himself; within the Wei Dynasty, the main currents were the Confucian, Buddhist, and Daoist schools, but there were also Military, Legalist, and Ming traditions.
