Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 699 - 690: Senior?

"How could this be?!"

After a brief silence, a chorus of gasps filled the air.

Every member of the Fang Family around them looked absolutely horrified.

Even the Great Elder, who had taken action himself, had been repelled by Mo Wangchen?

"Who... exactly are you?"

By now, the Clan Leader’s heart had begun to panic.

There was no helping it. At Mo Wangchen’s age to possess such combat strength, let alone in Yedu City, even in the Southern Region or the entire Central State, he would undoubtedly be considered a top-tier genius.

To put it bluntly, despite the countless Sacred Lands and Ancient Families across the vast Central State, how many among their Divine Sons could possibly match Mo Wangchen?

Mo Wangchen stood his ground, his gaze indifferently sweeping over the others, "Does who I am really matter?"

"If I were a Divine Son from a Sacred Land, or a Young King from an Ancient Clan, would you let me go? But what if I were just a Loose Cultivator, with no powerful backing? Would you suppress me then?"

"This..."

Hearing this, the Fang Family’s Great Elder was at a loss for words, unsure of what to say.

Now it seemed clear that Mo Wangchen’s background was far from simple. The power behind him was likely a behemoth that the Fang Family could not afford to provoke, otherwise, how could they have nurtured such a talent?

"What’s going on?"

Suddenly, at that moment, two figures flew swiftly toward them from the sky not far outside the great hall.

Everyone instinctively turned their gaze in that direction.

"Clan Leader!"

"Miss!"

It was none other than Fang Qingxue and her father who had arrived.

Upon seeing the situation before her, Fang Qingxue felt that something was very wrong.

"Great Elder, what exactly happened?" Fang Yuan also frowned slightly, his eyes on the Great Elder.

He had already heard some things about Mo Wangchen from Fang Qingxue earlier. The man acted decisively, killing two Elders from the Chu Family with a gesture, his cultivation was likely at least at the Emperor Realm Great Mahayana level.

Such a person, located within Yedu City, was already at the pinnacle of the pyramid, someone both major families were unwilling to provoke.

More importantly, Mo Wangchen’s age made Fang Yuan somewhat wary. In his view, anyone with such cultivation at such an age was bound to be a Divine Son from a Sacred Land or an Ancient Family.

With such a status, how could the Fang Family dare to provoke him?

Now here he was, in conflict with the Fang Family—this could be catastrophic if not handled properly.

"This..."

Seeing the Clan Leader appear, the Great Elder’s face initially lit up with joy, but he didn’t expect that the latter wouldn’t immediately capture Mo Wangchen to save face for the Fang Family.

Instead, he directly started questioning him.

Could it be that the white-robed man truly had a significant background as the Great Elder had suspected?

Shaken inside, the Great Elder dared not conceal anything and told them everything he knew.

"Fang Yuan!"

After hearing the Great Elder’s words, Fang Qingxue’s expression darkened. She turned her gaze toward Fang Yuan, who was being supported by two young members of the Fang Family.

She reprimanded, "Come here and apologize to Elder Lin Feng right away!"

"Elder?"

Upon hearing Fang Qingxue’s stern call to Mo Wangchen, all the members of the Fang Family present were shocked.

Even the daughter of their clan had to address him as Elder?

Moreover, it seemed that earlier, they really had misunderstood something.

Originally, seeing Mo Wangchen return with Fang Qingxue, they thought he wished to be affiliated with their family through marriage.

Never had they imagined that this person was an ’Elder’ whom even the Fang Family of Yedu City—one of the two great families—had to treat with the utmost care!

Such a reversal was indeed unexpected; no wonder the Clan Leader didn’t immediately capture Mo Wangchen.

And considering how Mo Wangchen had repelled him with a single strike, he indeed deserved Fang Qingxue’s address as Elder.

"Elder, I have offended you just now; please do not take it to heart..."

Fang Yuan was equally astonished inside. Now he understood the misunderstanding. freёnovelkiss.com

Mo Wangchen’s background must be extraordinary, very likely a Divine Son from a Sacred Land or an Ancient Family.

Against such a figure, even if he was reluctant, he had no choice but to bow his head and admit his mistake.

After all, if a Divine Son really wanted to target him, a flick of their hand could exterminate him.

And even the Fang Family would dare not say anything.

The manner in which Fang Qingxue had handled the situation had eased Mo Wangchen’s feelings somewhat.

He gave Fang Yuan an indifferent glance and responded with a cold snort, paying him no further attention.

"Has the map been brought here?" Turning his eyes back to Fang Qingxue, Mo Wangchen said this.

He had come to the Fang Family for the map, and after everything that had happened, he no longer wanted to stay.

"Elder Lin Feng, Fang Yuan is like that, please do not take it to heart," Fang Qingxue hurriedly explained, thinking he still harbored anger.

"Just give me the map; I’m not so narrow-minded," Mo Wangchen said with a light smile.

Although the people of the Fang Family had displeased him, Fang Qingxue herself was decent, so naturally, he treated her with some courtesy.

Hearing Mo Wangchen’s words, Fang Qingxue was relieved and quickly produced a map, handing it over to him.

As Mo Wangchen was preparing to leave, Fang Yuan, who had remained silent until then, suddenly stepped forward, "Young friend Lin Feng, the Chu Family must already know of your visit to our Fang Family. If you leave now, they might very likely act against you. Why not stay with us for a while?"

The Chu Family might be strong, overshadowing the Fang Family. But aside from Chu Menglan, who was the Divine Girl of the Xiaotian Sect, the Fang Family was still unafraid of the Chu Family.

The main issue was that with Chu Menglan in the picture, the Fang Family would have a problem if she personally intervened.

In Fang Yuan’s estimation, Mo Wangchen should be a Divine Son as well. If he stayed with the Fang Family for some time, even if Chu Menglan came looking for him, with Mo Wangchen present, they wouldn’t have to fear the pressure from the Xiaotian Sect.

"Heh heh, the Fang Family is not something I fear," Mo Wangchen smiled, seeing through the other’s intentions, and continued, "However, since I was the one who made the kills, it is me the Chu Family is looking for. I’ll resolve the matter first, then leave."

"Resolve?" Fang Yuan’s face froze, not fully understanding the meaning behind Mo Wangchen’s words.

"Fang Ruochen, where are you?!"

Just then, a clear voice suddenly came from outside the Fang Family gates—the Chu Family’s forces had arrived.
