Chapter 1504: Chapter 1503: Investigation, Zhao Family’s Provocation

Fang Family.

In the living room.

Ding Chunqiu explained the disappearance of two Primordial Human Immortals to Fang Yu, giving a rough overview.

Fang Yu listened with a furrowed brow.

At the level of Primordial Human Immortal, establishing oneself in the Cultivator World is straightforward, and any group or organization would eagerly recruit such talent.

Even if conflicts arise, they would be restrained to avoid major destruction.

Like heavy weaponry, they wouldn’t be used lightly.

The Cultivator World also has clear constraints and regulations for Primordial Human Immortals.

For example, flying is not permitted, and non-law enforcement personnel cannot use combat skills above Heaven Rank except for legitimate defense.

...

Thus, the mysterious disappearance of two Primordial Human Immortals in the Huaxia World is a major event.

Consider how much wealth and resources are consumed to cultivate two Primordial Human Immortal talents.

This matter must be taken seriously.

"Has the investigation been done?" Fang Yu asked.

"It has been done... In the three major territories, except for your Tiandu Mountain which hasn’t been investigated yet, Wanxian City and Emperor City have been thoroughly checked without finding any anomalies. These two Primordial Human Immortals seem to have disappeared into thin air," Ding Chunqiu said.

Upon hearing this.

Fang Yu shook his head and said:

"No one can enter Tiandu Mountain. The magic array over there was set up by me personally. Even if it were destroyed, I would sense it immediately. Not to mention Primordial Human Immortals, even Ancestor Realm cannot be taken lightly."

"..."

Ding Chunqiu smiled awkwardly, "I didn’t mean anything else, I just found the matter strange and wanted to discuss countermeasures with you."

"Being able to kill Primordial Human Immortals silently indicates that the opponent is plotting carefully, not acting on impulse. The killer’s cultivation is at least above the peak of Primordial Human Immortal, and it might be Ancestor Realm." Fang Yu said calmly.

"Ancestor Realm?"

Ding Chunqiu was surprised.

Still remembered when Lu Ming, the half-step Ancestor, appeared in Wanxian City, the entire city trembled under Lu Ming’s pressure, and cultivators were terrified. If Fang Yu hadn’t appeared, Lu Ming would have undoubtedly eradicated everything and slaughtered Wanxian City.

Ancestor Realm, how powerful it is. Ding Chunqiu was well aware.

"Until now, only three are known to have reached the Ancestor Realm; one is you, the other is your wife, and the third is Emperor City’s Tan Tianzhong... Could it be Tan Tianzhong?"

"Impossible."

Fang Yu immediately denied, "Tan Tianzhong’s cultivation was helped by me to breakthrough, he has no motive or reason to kill Primordial Human Immortals. Moreover, he should be busy stabilizing his realm now, where would he find time to kill..."

"Then who could it be?

"Demon Cave."

Fang Yu’s eyes turned towards the distance, "Other than the Demon Cave World, no other place has this motive."

"Demon Cave World..."

Ding Chunqiu’s eyes widened, "Did the Demon Cave World deploy other Demon Kings?"

"It’s not impossible."

Fang Yu nodded, "Although I’ve captured five Demon Kings, their strength is around the middle stage of Primordial Human Immortal. If well-prepared, a surprise attack on one or two human Primordial Human Immortals is not impossible."

Ding Chunqiu sighed and said:

"It seems I must deploy people to intensify patrols..."

"Conduct the patrols according to the original plan... Their target this time is obviously our human powerhouses. They disdain ordinary small fry... Ensure all cultivators above Primordial Human Immortal level are cautious, do not travel alone, watch each other’s backs."

"Understood."

"Additionally, Wanxian University is the foundation and future of our human cultivators. The Demon Cave World is likely to target the students, regardless of cultivation. So... let’s dispatch three Guardians to watch over it for a night; tomorrow morning, I will personally set up the array," Fang Yu said.

Upon hearing this.

Ding Chunqiu immediately bowed and said: "Thank you, Mr. Fang."

Just then.

The female steward outside the door came in, bowed, and said: "Master, the Zhao Family has sent an invitation."

"Zhao Family?" Fang Yu frowned slightly.

Ding Chunqiu was also pondering, what invitation did the Zhao Family send? Could the Zhao Family have some grand celebration? Besides, even if there is, it’s not like they would invite Emperor Yu.

"Convey to the Zhao Family for me... If there’s any further disrespect, there will be great trouble."

The female steward was startled.

Though his words were calm, she knew the strength of the master of this courtyard.

But thinking of the Zhao Family’s matter, she mustered the courage to say:

"Master, the Zhao Family said they sincerely invite you, Miss Zhao Mengxue has achieved the peak of Primordial Human Immortal and is hosting a grand banquet!"

Ding Chunqiu couldn’t help but be astonished:

"What??"

"You said Zhao Mengxue has broken through to the peak of Primordial Human Immortal?"

The female steward only nodded, not daring to say more.

Fang Yu’s expression remained unchanged.

"No wonder the Zhao Family has such confidence... It turns out Zhao Mengxue had a fortuitous encounter..."

"Mr. Fang, the Zhao Family is being ungrateful. Even if it’s a Primordial Human Immortal, how about it, the Ten Guardians are all Primordial Human Immortals, which one isn’t respectful when seeing you? Leave this matter to me, after all, she was a student taught by me, I will personally teach her to behave."

"Alright, you go check."

Fang Yu was too uninterested to involve with the Zhao Family.

Moreover.

The likes of the Zhao Family don’t warrant his attention.

The only puzzling thing to him is Zhao Mengxue’s fortuitous encounter is strange.

The Tianyin Clan would certainly not assist her.

It’s probably true that Zhao Mengxue broke through to the peak of Primordial Human Immortal and sent an invitation.

Or there’s another hidden story?

So, sending Ding Chunqiu to take a look isn’t a bad thing.

Ding Chunqiu is at the Great Perfection Realm of Primordial Human Immortal, few could defeat him below Ancestor Realm.

"I’ll take my leave."

Ding Chunqiu left the Fang Mansion and headed towards the Zhao Family.

...

After leaving.

The female steward was a bit uneasy, stammering.

"Master, the person sending the invitation also said... also said... it won’t be long before their Miss Zhao will break through to the Ancestor Realm. They said they’re very grateful to the master for expelling their Miss."

Fang Yu gave a light hum and said:

"Hm, that’s mocking me... Yet they don’t realize, like ants shaking a big tree, they’re overestimating themselves. Ignore her."

"Understood!"

"Where is Wenjun now?" Fang Yu asked.

Thinking Ye Wenjun and the others should be back now.

The female steward said: "Madam and a few ladies have returned several times in between. Madam said... she found an interesting place and took a few ladies there."

"Hmm!"

Fang Yu sighed slightly.

That’s just how women are.

However, it’s best they stay together, least trouble arises.

Ye Wenjun is already at the Ancestor Realm, so there’s no problem in protecting them.

Fang Yu trusts Ye Wenjun’s judgment greatly; having her share the burden is a good thing.

...

Meanwhile.

Ding Chunqiu arrived at the Zhao Family.

Upon arrival.

The one welcoming guests at the entrance was a member of the Zhao family, who upon seeing Principal Ding, exclaimed in surprise: "Principal Ding, it’s an honor to have you here, please come inside..."

Ding Chunqiu, with a stern face, said: "Let Zhao Tianzhao and Zhao Mengxue come see me..."

"Uh..."

The commanding tone.

Beyond doubt.

The Zhao Family member was naturally unqualified to refuse, and awkwardly said: "Principal Ding, the master is attending to guests, how about I lead you inside?"
