Chapter 1608 - 1295: Blood Demon Essence Stone!

However, this Blood Demon Essence Stone falling into this woman's hands, I'm afraid she can't expect to keep it for long; the Fu Family is pursuing her, likely because of this stone.But these matters don't have much to do with Qin Fang now; he has already sent the woman away and can peacefully wait here for the Yi Jian tournament to commence.

...

Somewhere in the Fu Family.

In a very empty and somewhat dim room, a shadow can be vaguely seen sitting cross-legged on the bed, seemingly practicing martial arts.

At the doorway, a young man was kneeling timidly, reporting some situations to the man on the bed. If Qin Fang were here, he would recognize this young man as the Fu Family servant who had clashed with him earlier.

"What? That woman was rescued?"

The person on the bed heard this news from his subordinate, and his tone became sinister.

A pair of fierce eyes, like a specter, opened in the darkness, immediately shooting out an eerie glint, scaring the subordinate into a trembling explanation.

"Young master, that person had an invitation from our Fu Family; I... I didn't dare to offend him!"

The subordinate truthfully explained about Qin Fang holding the invitation, knowing it was his only chance to survive.

"Holding an invitation?"

Indeed, upon hearing this, the young master's brows slightly furrowed, seemingly surprised, "Do you know who he is?"

Each Yi Jian tournament, the Fu and Cui Families jointly invite some veteran figures from the Martial World as judges, well-known individuals. Identifying them shouldn't be too difficult.

"His identity hasn't been found yet, but he looks young; we should be able to find out soon..."

The subordinate spoke carefully, as he was merely a servant with limited authority, naturally slowing the investigation down.

"Very young…"

The young master picked up on something unusual from the brief words of the subordinate, his brow furrowing slightly as if recalling someone.

"Could his surname be Qin?"

The young master immediately asked but then remembered that his subordinate knew nothing, so he fetched a photo from the side and swiftly tossed it before him, saying, "Look, is it him..."

"It's him! Young master, it's him…"

The confused subordinate saw the photo presented before him—it was Qin Fang, and he promptly pointed to Qin Fang's picture.

"It really is him…"

The young master seemed relatively calm, merely muttering softly.

After the Jin Zhengming incident, Qin Fang became well-known in Korea. In this small country, news travels fast between various factions, many aware of Qin Fang—a young man capable of flattening Master Level Late Stage Jin Zhengming.

The older generation of masters were both curious and wary of Qin Fang, while the younger ones were eager, especially those confident in their abilities, feeling the rumors exaggerated and pondering an opportunity to defeat Qin Fang to prove their own strength.

Jin Zhengming was decisively defeated, and no one cared for his demise, destined to become Qin Fang's stepping stone in Korea.

If Qin Fang could defeat Jin Zhengming, then defeating Qin Fang would prove superiority over Qin Fang.

So now, many young masters in Korea are eager to confront Qin Fang, hoping to establish supreme fame.

For instance, Fu Junhao of the Fu Family whom Qin Fang met before... There are quite a few!

"Did the item fall into this person's hands?"

The young master was silent for a while before asking softly, his tone carrying a hint of gloom and heaviness.

"Not really…"

The subordinate shook his head, saying, "I had people monitoring there; it seemed the woman intended to give the item to that person, but later we saw the person return the item to the woman… After being rescued by him, the woman soon left on her own…"

Clearly, Fu Family members were everywhere in Incheon, with Qin Fang and Liu Xianhe being watched while dining outside; such secrets were hard to keep.

Qin Fang indeed returned the Blood Demon Essence Stone to the woman...

Yet, Qin Fang had no idea the young master of the Fu Family was exceedingly interested in this stone, desperate to acquire it.

Though even if Qin Fang knew, he wouldn't find it surprising. Those in martial arts often desire to possess the Blood Demon Essence Stone, a prime tool for rapid advancement, despite severe side effects, believing they can control them...

"That woman left on her own?"

The Fu Family young master frowned upon hearing this, "Immediately take people to find her, even if it means overturning Incheon. You must find that woman… That item must be recovered!"

It's evident that the Fu Family young master held the Blood Demon Essence Stone in high regard, determined to obtain it, ordering his subordinate at once.

"Understood…"

Though frustrated, the subordinate still agreed obediently, because he was a servant and the young master was the master, thus he went ahead to arrange and prepare.

"The one named Qin has arrived in Incheon… Looks like I need to give him something to do!"

Once the subordinate left, the Fu Family young master murmured alone in the room, seemingly harboring ill intentions towards Qin Fang. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel⚑fire.net

In Korea, many harbor ill intentions towards Qin Fang, especially the young masters viewing him as an ideal stepping stone for their rise, eager to step on Qin Fang.

...

While others are preoccupied with Qin Fang, Qin himself was quite leisurely, accompanied by Liu Xianhe, strolling around Incheon.

Though Korea is a tiny country, it's managed decently, especially cities dominated by large families, flourishing.

These families are indeed local tyrants, but do not want their domain full of hungry poor stirring trouble; otherwise, their reign would be extremely difficult.

Thus, these families, while being arrogant tyrants, are also forced to seek development paths for the people in their domain.

Incheon is a major port and a great tourist city, particularly during the Yi Jian tournament period, attracting masters from everywhere, making the city lively.

Qin Fang didn't care for this. He didn't mingle with those attending the tournament nor show up at the Fu Family—he remained outside, quite relaxed and comfortable.

Liu Xianhe, on the other hand, was eager to explore this, as those invited to the tournament weren't typical predecessors but renowned figures, rare to meet ordinarily.

Now, with opportunity presenting itself, he felt tempted.

Meeting these masters for advice or guidance, Liu Xianhe might gain a lot and perhaps find a breakthrough opportunity.

Qin Fang observed this quietly but said nothing, letting Liu Xianhe handle it himself, willing to help when needed...(to be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations or monthly tickets at Qidian.com, your support is my greatest motivation.)
