Chapter 462: News from Ziyan Palace!

door knocked."Come in," Fang Yu said."Mr. Fang, someone's looking for you. Would you like to see them" Ye Shengxue pushed open the door and looked at Fang Yu standing in front of his desk, saying."Ar...The sound lingered in Fang Yu's mind for a full three or four seconds before it finally dissipated.

At the same time, Fang Yu's divine consciousness had retracted.

This was not his own involuntary contraction, but an invisible force was pushing his consciousness back.

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, looking into the depths of the barrier.

From the visible range, it was just a vast expanse of snow-capped peaks, indistinguishable from the snowy forest beyond.

But the far north of China is almost 10,000 kilometers away. With this forest as a boundary, one could still venture inward for another thousand or two kilometers at least.

...what exactly exists inside, no one knows. ...

Since ancient times, the far north has been sparsely populated.

This place is considered a taboo zone recognized by all of China.

Of course, this is not due to any horrifying legends. The main reason is that the environment of the Arctic region is simply too harsh.

No one would be willing to go for a walk in this desolate, freezing place where there's nothing but ice and snow unless they were certain of gaining something from it.

"Shall we go in"

Fang Yu stood still, lost in thought.

At this moment, the Snow King at the back had regained his composure and quickly arrived beside Fang Yu.

"Fang Yu, truly... thank you so much. If it weren't for you today, I really don't know how I would have coped..." Xue Wang said gratefully, even wanting to kneel down.

Fāng Yǔ pulled Xue Wáng, smiling faintly: "We're old friends now, there's no need to thank and kneel for such a small matter."

A minor matter

The Snow King's face contorted into a strange expression.

If so many high-level demon beasts were to really run out, the whole of China would be in chaos!

But, for Fang Yu, it might just be a small matter.

This is the true demeanor of a strong person.

The Snow King recalled that thirty years ago, he had been unwilling to accept Fang Yu's strength. Now, he only felt his face burning with shame.

It's obvious that Fang Yu went easy on him back then.

According to how Fang Yu dealt with these monsters today... back then, he probably couldn't even take a punch from Fang Yu.

"What do you know about the depths of the Arctic" Fang Yu asked, his eyes narrowed.

Upon hearing this, Xue Wang recalled for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "I don't know much. It all comes from what the old chieftain told me. He said that deep within the far north there are many slumbering beings... but because of the thin spiritual energy on Earth, the possibility of these beings awakening is very low."

"As this is deep within the territory of the Frost Giants, just in case, our ancestors set up a barrier outside the snow forest to separate the inside from the outside."

But no one expected that all these creatures would actually awaken today...

It seems that the Snow King doesn't know much either.

Fang Yu turned his head to look into the depths again.

When I probed inside with my divine sense just now, I noticed something.

The snowfields deep in the far north are not flat plains, but uneven and rugged.

But because it was covered in thick snow, it was difficult to see what the original terrain looked like.

Also, there are several snow-capped peaks arranged in a combination that seems strange, inexplicably conforming to some kind of pattern, although Fang Yu couldn't figure it out for the moment.

"Brother Yu."

At this time, Su Lengyun also came to Fang Yu's side.

Fang Yu emerged from his contemplation and looked at Su Lengyun, asking, "How long have I been in seclusion this time"

Su Lengyun thought for a moment, then softly replied, "It's been seventeen days."

"Seventeen days..."

This timing is about as expected by Fang Yu.

The only mistake was that the primordial core didn't allow him to break through to the ten thousand layers of the Qi Condensation Stage!

Three more layers!

Must find another spirit vein!

When it comes to spiritual veins, the first thing that comes to mind is a gene lab in Europe.

According to Fang Yu's speculation, Doctor Gary already possesses something akin to spiritual veins.

However, regarding the gene lab, Fang Yu has asked Violet to investigate, but there's been no news yet...

Fang Yu remembered something and took out his phone from his storage bag.

There are a dozen or so missed calls on my phone, with the most frequent caller being Guo Gang from the Human Resources Department of Nanfang University.

Fang Yu has disappeared for more than half a month and hasn't gone to class for two weeks in a row.

That's not very good.

Fang Yu scratched his head.

Fang Yu flipped down, and there were a few missed calls, from Tang Xiaorou, Wang Yan, Li Binyan and others.

These calls clearly lack substance.

But at the end, Fang Yu saw Xia Xiaoying's two missed calls, his eyes flickered.

Fang Yu commissioned Xia Xiaoying to help him find information about the Ziyangu Palace.

She called, she must have found something!

About the existences in the depths of the Arctic, let's put that aside for now.

"Leave this to my subordinates to handle. We should leave here first," the Snow King said as he reactivated the barrier.

Fan Yu nodded.

……

Twenty minutes later, Fang Yu returned to the Blizzard tribe's base camp and immediately called Xia Xiaoying back.

After waiting for over ten seconds, Xia Xiaoying answered the phone.

"What was it you needed from me before" Fang Yu asked.

"Where have you been lately Why can't anyone find the Master" Xia Xiaoying's tone was slightly displeased.

To repay a previous favor, Xia Xiaoying provided Fang Yu with information free of charge.

As the head of the intelligence group, she became like an underling to Fang Yu.

What's most infuriating is that every time there's crucial intelligence, she can never get in touch with Fang Yu.

"I've been in seclusion recently." Fang Yu replied.

“Seclusion… You waited for a while, it’s been two weeks already. I need to take another look at that intelligence report.” Xia Xiaoying has always been a calm person and doesn't want to waste time on venting emotions which is pointless.

The sound of rustling paper came.

About half a minute later, Xia Xiaoying spoke: "Two weeks ago, an intelligence officer from Huaibei Dongdu sent us information. He found a suspicious bald man."

"Because recently, there have been many violent martial artists appearing all over Huaibei, we've become quite strict with our inspections of incoming martial artists. This person came to our intelligence agents' attention in this way."

"His movements were very regular, going in and out of places where martial artists gathered every day... It seemed like he was collecting information. According to our investigation, the thing he inquired about most often was... information about you."

"Yes. It's normal, though. Because of what you did a half month ago...the whole martial arts world is talking about you. But most people are discussing how you defeated Chen Luo...And this person, they have been asking about your physical features and want to get a picture of you."

“But that was all the intelligence officer thought about it, he didn't think too much more.”

But two weeks prior, that man was drinking at a tavern late one night, seemingly drunk, and got into a fight with another martial artist. The two of them brawled.

At this point, Xia Xiaoying paused.

"That man used a spell related to purple flames" Fang Yu asked, his eyes cold.

"No," Xia Xiaoying said, "They didn't use any spells when they fought. They only engaged in hand-to-hand combat. That bald man completely crushed the martial artist, leaving him with a bloody head."

That warrior wasn't convinced, asked him where he was from, and threatened revenge...

Then, the bald man laughed out loud and claimed to be from Ziyan Palace! He dared the warrior to come find him.

Just stated the Purple Flame Palace!

Fang Yu's face changed slightly, and he asked, "What then"

"After that, the bald man seemed to realize he had said something wrong. His face changed, and he turned his head and left the tavern, returning to his residence," Xia Xiaoying said.

"Have you been tracking his movements" Fang Yu asked.

"Our informant kept him under surveillance, but the bald man disappeared after returning to his residence." Xia Xiaoying said solemnly.

"Never showed up again" Fang Yu frowned.

"Yes, he returned to the hotel, to his own room, and didn't leave afterward. Twenty-four hours later, our informant had a waiter check, and found that no one was inside. "Xia Xiaoying paused, then said, "That's all the intelligence we have."

FANG Yu was silent for a moment before replying, "Okay, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Fang Yu looked at the white snow falling outside, her eyes cold.

He knew this intelligence was correct.

Although the other party didn't use purple flames, they revealed their identity as being from the Ziyan Palace by self-destructing.

The Purple Flame Palace was destroyed so many years ago, and few people in today's martial arts world know about its existence, so there is no such thing as bragging.

The fact that the other party came to Huaibei specifically to inquire about Fang Yu's whereabouts is a signal.

Those remnants of the Purple Flame Palace... probably already know about Fang Yu's existence.

They just don't believe Fang Yu is still alive, that's why they sent people to Huaibei to verify.

"Jiangdao... I will find you soon." Fang Yu's eyes were sharp as swords, and a murderous aura emanated from his body.His right arm grew layers of black armor as it blasted outwards.The aura of black and red, it condensed on his right arm, sweeping out!The power of this punch is extremely terrifying!
