Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
The Thunder Monarch frowned as he looked at the junior in his clan. This junior member of the Ford Clan could not hold back any longer. "Sir, we observed traces that is suspected to be Tiandao's."
"Oh? Where?" The Thunder Monarch raised his brows and immediately brought his attention over.
The two Mage Kings, who were several hundred meters away, also exchanged a glance and focused their attention over there.
The young man from Ford Clan said, "At... At the Sun..."
The Thunder Monarch's brows furrowed, and he was about to reprimand the young man when he heard the latter continue, "We discovered traces of Tiandao flying toward the Sun. A number of astronomical observatories in the Space Department saw obvious bright lights and explosions on the Sun's surface that continued on for about a minute."
As he said this, he brought out a stack of documents and held it before the Thunder Monarch.
The Thunder Monarch's countenance turned grim as he immediately took the documents and read through them. A short moment later, his mind started to sway, and he turned in surprise toward Fang Xingjian.
'To think that it's true?
'He swept Tiandao all the way to the Sun with a single strike?
'This strength... We still ended up underestimating Fang Xingjian after all. We'll need to make amendments to all of our plans.'
The two Mage Kings appeared astonished and exchanged a glance. They could see the solemnness and astonishment in each other's eyes.
They were not ordinary martial arts practitioners who only knew how to cultivate. As Divine level experts and users of black magic, they had entered the microscopic world as well as the Nine-Tiered Heavens. Thus, they had a deep understanding of the structures of the entire world and the entire universe.
Moreover, they had made the extra effort to learn the technological knowledge from Earth. As such, they understood just how unbelievable Fang Xingjian's cultivation was for him to be able to hit Tiandao into the Sun and burn him to death.
However, Fang Xingjian appeared as if he was completely ignorant of all these and merely stood there.
The Black Mage King and Gold Mage King stood next to him like two guards who were serving dutifully. It was as if neither of them dared to disturb Fang Xingjian at all.
The Thunder Monarch also waited quietly in the distance. Right now, Fang Xingjian was already an invincible existence that could not be defeated.
'At least, before Earth enters the generation of interstellar migration, the entire Earth's Federation will probably continue to grovel before Fang Xingjian.'
After over ten minutes, Fang Yuehe rushed over with the other members of the Fang Clan. Upon seeing Fang Xingjian, Fang Yuehe laughed out loud, "Xingjian, it's all thanks to you this time around that Earth has been saved from danger. With you around, the entire planet will be safe."
Fang Yuehe walked up to Fang Xingjian and looked at this young man, overwhelmed with emotions. Who would have thought that an ordinary young man from three years ago would now become an important pillar of support for Earth, as well as the guardian of the Fang Clan and even the entire Earth's Federation?
At present, Fang Yuehe had already become the clan's head, and he had been wielding great authority over the past few months. Just a single word from him would affect the lives of countless people. However, standing before Fang Xingjian right now, Fang Yuehe still could not hold back the fawning and overly cautious expression on his face.
Fang Xingjian waved his hand and said, "There's no need for all the civilities. The reason I've come back to Earth this time around is to ascertain some things." After saying that, he channeled streams of information currents into Fang Yuehe's mind.
Fang Yuehe's countenance changed, but he said, "I have no idea about these matters. Although Mother changed a little back then, the changes weren't great. However, the period when she suddenly became distant from you was when I was cultivating outside, and I'm not very sure about that."
Over ten years ago, Fang Yuehe was merely in his twenties and was still cultivating martial arts outside. He had naturally been unaware about the situation back home.
However, after hearing Fang Xingjian's question, he assured, "As long as there are records of these matters, I'll definitely be able to help you investigate. Xingjian, you can be assured and just wait for the results."
Fang Yuehe then continued to chat with Fang Xingjian about trivial matters, only asking to take his leave when he noticed a hint of impatience on Fang Xingjian's face.
"Xingjian, it's been very long since you came back. I've arranged for your accommodations. Do you want..."
Fang Xingjian waved his hand and said, "There's no need to bother about me. I've left a sword intent in your body, so if I want to look for you, I can do that anytime." He then waved his hand again to send Fang Yuehe off.
As for the Thunder Monarch, although he had made several requests to meet Fang Xingjian, the latter could not be bothered with him.
Seeing the coldness and slight impatience on Fang Xingjian's face, the Thunder Monarch left submissively. Soon after, the orders came down from the Federation's management. All the scouts, secret agents, and military soldiers in the surroundings retreated silently. No one dared to get close to the Fang Clan's manor location.
Looking at the ruins before them, the Black Mage King seemed to decide on something. Then he suddenly said, "Imperial Preceptor, is this where you lived when you were young?"
Fang Xingjian nodded and asked, "Why?"
The Gold Mage King said, "We seem to sense the presence of black magic here. It's a very powerful black magic."
Fang Xingjian's gaze narrowed, and he turned his head.
In fact, when the Gold Mage King and Black Mage King arrived at this place earlier on, they had already sensed traces of black magic. Surprised, they had planned to investigate this in secret to see if it was of any relevance to the reason why Fang Xingjian was so powerful.
However, after hearing the information from the Thunder Monarch's side, they decided not to rebel in the short term and revealed their discovery outright.
Hearing their words, Fang Xingjian asked, "How powerful is it? Are you able to sense what black magic it is?"
"It's hard to be specific," the Gold Mage King said. Then he gave it some thought and explained, "There are traces of the gold faction black magic that Tiandao performed. As it hasn't been long since the black magic was performed, the diabolic energy remnants are very strong.
"However, there are also traces of the remnants of another black magic that is very mysterious, powerful, and ancient. I can sense that the waves it left behind surpass even all of the black magic that Tiandao performed. It's at least a level 15 black magic if not higher.
"However, it seems that too much time has passed by, and we can't sense it very clearly. Therefore, we aren't able to ascertain which faction the black magic belongs to."
"Black magic..." Fang Xingjian said, "Could it be the power of magic prints?"
The Black Mage King shook his head, "The two aren't the same. We can still differentiate between them. Moreover, it's impossible for a powerful black magic that can leave remnants after so many years to be from the hands of a magic prints Warrior from Demonic City."
Fang Xingjian swept his gaze across the ruins before them. He had stayed in this manor for 17 years, so it was a place he was extremely familiar with. However, it now emitted a sense of unfamiliarity.
"If I give you time to investigate, will you be able to find out what black magic it is?"
Hearing Fang Xingjian's question, the Black Mage King looked at the Gold Mage King. If they were to search for the traces of black magic which had been cast in the past, the powers of the Gold Robed faction were the most suitable for the job.
The Gold Mage King said a little uncertainly, "I can only do my best to try."
Therefore, Fang Xingjian stayed in Demonic City for the next few days. While waiting for the results of the Gold Mage King's investigations of the black magic remnants found in the Fang Clan's manor, he also waited for the information Fang Yuehe was gathering about when he was young.
