"I naturally accept Prince Yi's invitation with joy. However, I am a member of the demonic path…" Fang Han slightly manifested a trace of Abi demon qi. "This Daxuan Empire is under the jurisdiction of the Taiyi Sect. In case I encounter some master descending to subdue demons and eliminate monsters, I will not be able to bear the consequences."
"Hahaha, fellow Daoist jests. Immortals and demons share the same origin. Even if one is a member of the demonic path, as long as they do not violate the laws of my Daxuan Empire, kill indiscriminately, or disrupt the rules, and can abide by the laws and regulations, they can all come to my Daxuan Empire to travel and reside. The several demon emperors of the demonic sects also frequently come to the markets of my Daxuan Empire to trade."
Prince Yi laughed twice.
"So that is how it is. It seems I was ignorant and ill-informed." Fang Han thought in his heart, and in an instant, he formed a calculation. Buying the Nirvana Pill would definitely attract the attention of Hua Tiandu and his group. He needed to find a cover identity, and being with Prince Yi was just right.
Secondly, this Daxuan Empire was mysterious and had inextricably linked relations with the Taiyi Sect. Being able to come into contact with the upper levels might also provide some help in dealing with Hua Tiandu.
Thirdly, this Prince Yi casually brought out eighty million pills to buy a set of sword arrays, showing his immense wealth. Perhaps he had some good treasures.
In short, catching this line would absolutely not result in a loss.
"Since that is the case, fellow Daoist, please come with me to the prince's mansion. Although there are some treasures outside this Jiuding Pavilion, they are not top-tier. The real treasures will only appear at the treasure selling convention three days later. However, the mansion of this prince has collected some treasures. If fellow Daoist is interested, giving them to fellow Daoist is not impossible."
Prince Yi said generously.
But Fang Han knew that this person was shrewd and would definitely not give away treasures easily. To take them, one would have to do some things for him.
"Fellow Daoist, please." Prince Yi stamped his foot, and a white cloud rose out of thin air, flying out. This method of riding clouds underfoot was a divine ability combining wind and water elements, extremely wondrous. Fang Han moved his body, silently following behind.
"Hmm?" After Prince Yi flew out of the Jiuding Pavilion, he found that Fang Han's figure had unexpectedly disappeared.
"Prince, please continue. I am right behind you, just using a divine ability to hide my figure." Fang Han's voice came from behind, which startled Prince Yi, making him realize the formidable nature of Fang Han's divine abilities. "So fellow Daoist is an expert who has cultivated to the Unity Realm, the sixth level of the Divine Ability Realm, and forged a natal talisman!"
"The prince's observation is not lacking. I have already reached the peak of the Unity Realm, forming an illusory core. I am only half a step away from condensing a golden core and ascending to the heavens in a single bound. The purpose of coming to Xuanhuang City this time is to buy a Nirvana Pill. If the prince can lend me a helping hand, I will naturally be endlessly grateful."
Fang Han slightly revealed a bit of his strength, instantly causing Prince Yi's entire body to tremble. The few attendants beside him also showed respectful expressions on their faces!
An expert of the Celestial Realm, the fifth level of the Divine Ability Realm, is only worth roping in, but a golden core expert is different; they absolutely deserve respect! And it must be the utmost respect! Fang Han was about to forge a golden core, so he could be considered half a minor giant.
Of course, this Prince Yi did not know that Fang Han's natal talisman possessed fifty-five divine abilities. If he knew, he would probably jump up in fright.
"So fellow Daoist is about to forge a golden core! That is truly disrespectful of me!" Prince Yi quickly changed his tone, becoming much more amiable and respectful. Coming out this time to buy the Thousand Yin Black Sand Sword Array, he saw that Fang Han seemed to be visiting Xuanhuang City for the first time, so he spoke up to recruit him, never expecting to pick up a treasure.
"The Nirvana Pill is a holy medicine. With the Jiuding Pavilion bringing it out for auction this time, many factions are eyeing it covetously. Even my eldest brother, the Crown Prince, needs this pill to push his magic power up another level and suppress us many imperial sons. This requires majestic financial power to successfully bid. If fellow Daoist truly needs it, we must discuss it carefully."
In his speech, Prince Yi even stopped referring to himself as "this prince".
"Financial power is not a problem. I can afford to bid for it." Fang Han coldly laughed, "However, at the time of the auction, I have a few enemies, and I do not want those enemies to know my identity. That is why I asked the prince to lend a helping hand."
"I wonder who fellow Daoist's enemies are?"
"That is not convenient to tell you." Fang Han said.
"That is no matter. Since fellow Daoist is unwilling to reveal your identity during the auction, just bid in the name of this prince." Prince Yi did not feel offended in the slightest.
Not long after, a massive palace stood towering before him. The calligraphy on the plaque above was fully as large as a room, writing the three great characters "Yihe Palace".
At the base of the wall by the entrance, standing straight as a pen were thousands of guards. Surprisingly, they were all experts of the Spiritual Realm, the ninth level of the physical body, capable of detecting any subtle changes and immediately becoming alert at the rustle of leaves in the wind. Not a single one was an ordinary person.
The moment Prince Yi descended, all the guards immediately knelt down. The imposing aura made the ground tremble slightly. Fang Han also silently revealed his form, observing the main gate of the whole Yihe Palace and the endlessly extending palace walls. "Not bad, not bad. The prince's palace is almost comparable to my sect gate."
"Oh? I wonder which great demonic sect fellow Daoist is a true inheritance disciple of?" Prince Yi was startled.
"After I forge a golden core, I will naturally tell the prince the truth." Fang Han smiled mysteriously. "At that time, I presume I will be of some help to the prince's plot for the grand position. Moreover, isn't the prince preparing to send gifts to the Linglong Blessed Land in half a year? I have some friendship with Fairy Piaoyun and Fairy Lianyun of the Linglong Blessed Land."
"Is that true?" Prince Yi said hastily, inviting Fang Han into the main gate of the mansion. "There are some supported cultivators in the mansion. Among them are independent cultivators and also some experts. To hold a banquet today, I wonder if fellow Daoist can join the gathering?"
"Let it go. I am not accustomed to interacting with people. Besides, I will sit in meditation and circulate my qi for the next few days, preparing to impact the golden core at any time. The prince just needs to prepare a place for me to cultivate quietly. Of course, if the prince encounters any trouble, I can extend a hand to assist. As long as it is not a ten thousand-year-old giant of the Longevity Secret Realm, I can kill them all for the prince."
Fang Han gave a loud laugh. He sensed that this Prince Yi was eager to expand his own strength to resist the other imperial sons and seize the heirloom. The more formidable he showed himself to be, the more valued he would be, and the more benefits there would be.
The position of the Daxuan Empire's emperor was truly the supreme weight of the world, no less than a grand headmaster of an immortal path sect. Just looking at an imperial son told the story, taking out eighty million pills to buy a sword array. He had more money and resources than the golden core experts of the Yuhua Sect.
"What?"
Hearing Fang Han's arrogant words, Prince Yi blanked out for a moment. He seemed unable to believe his ears, thinking Fang Han had gone mad. What did he mean by as long as it wasn't a ten thousand-year-old giant of the Longevity Secret Realm, he could kill them all? One must know, the seventh level Golden Core of the Divine Ability Realm, the eighth level Wind and Fire Tribulation, the ninth level Heaven and Earth Dharma, and the tenth level Defying Heaven and Changing Fate, were all already the peaks of the cultivation world, looking down upon the ages. Although Fang Han was about to break through to the golden core and could be considered a formidable figure, he had not broken through after all, had he?
Even if he did break through, saying such words was still the raving of a madman.
The several attendants also almost burst out laughing, all saying in their hearts: "So the prince brought a madman back."
"Prince, who is spewing mad ravings here, unexpectedly claiming that anyone below the Longevity Secret Realm can indiscriminately be killed for the prince? We certainly want to see what kind of expert the prince has roped in. To actually dare speak such words, and not even being a golden core."
Right at this moment, abruptly, from a grand hall in front, fully more than thirty cultivators walked out. Surprisingly, they were all experts of the Divine Ability Secret Realm!
Of course, if they were not of the Divine Ability Secret Realm, Prince Yi could not possibly accept them.
Fang Han could tell at a single glance that out of these twenty or thirty-some cultivators, over ten had trained true qi, over ten had forged astral qi, five or six had cultivated to the Yin-Yang Realm, and there were three who were actually strong individuals of the Celestial Realm, the fifth level of the Divine Ability Realm! There was also one who was surprisingly an expert of the Unity Realm, the sixth level of the Divine Ability Realm, who had condensed a natal talisman.
"Oh! Fellow Daoists, this fellow Daoist was invited by this prince, just cracking a joke a moment ago." Prince Yi hurriedly said, subsequently introducing them to Fang Han. "This is Master Xiaoyue, headmaster of the Xiaoyue Mountain. An outstanding figure among the independent cultivation sects, with the same cultivation as fellow Daoist, both being the sixth level of divine abilities. Soon to condense a golden core. The other three are also sect headmasters: Master Xianji, Master Liangshan, and Master Xihua, who are also exceptionally famous independent cultivation sects."
"Prince, this person speaks mad ravings and arrogant words. If he were to stir up some trouble and affect the prince's grand designs, it would not be good." Master Xiaoyue, whose magic power was the highest among them, looked at Fang Han and suddenly pointed a finger.
"Presumptuous! A mob of rabble! Prince Yi, recruiting this mob of independent cultivators and also wishing to plot for grand matters is simply a joke! Let me sweep them all out the door first. A bunch of independent cultivation sects, I thought they were of the Ten Immortal Sects, Five Demon Sects, or Seven Demonic Lineages."
Fang Han rolled his eyes and suddenly lashed out. Rolling his left hand, the Heaven-Obscuring Demon Hand swung out. as vast as mountains, dense demon qi shrouded the full thirty-some cultivators present!
Presently, Fang Han's Heaven-Obscuring Demon Hand, having gone through the transformations of the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Ability, the Lightning Bone Sarira, and the Yin Yang Ten Thousand Life Pill, had become even mightier in power. Furthermore, dual-cultivating the immortal and demonic, it was no longer the divine ability cultivated by the Ghost Emperor, and ordinary people would be unable to recognize it.
Crash! Crash!
The intense demon qi blotted out the sky and covered the earth. On the spot, over ten cultivators at the true qi and astral qi realms had the magical treasures on their bodies shatter one after another. Unable to endure the demon qi, they were shocked into unconsciousness on the ground. The four Yin-Yang Realm experts also couldn't hold back and spat out mouthfuls of fresh blood, their complexions changing greatly!
"What profound demonic art!" The complexions of the three Celestial Realm experts also fiercely changed, each brandishing their strongest magical treasures. At the same time, that Master Xiaoyue slapped his head, the heavenly gate opened wide, and a natal talisman rose up. It glinted with twelve kinds of radiance, having unexpectedly condensed twelve kinds of divine abilities, truly worthy of an expert among independent cultivation sects.
"Fireflies dare compete with the bright moon?" Fang Han's demonic hand retracted downwards, crack crack! The magical treasures of the three Celestial Realm experts also abruptly shattered, and that Master Xiaoyue's natal talisman was abruptly and forcibly smacked right back into his brain.
Blergh!
Over thirty cultivators all fainted unconscious on the ground like dead dogs.
"Prince, sweep these people out the door! They have no great use. Sometime I will introduce a few to you, guaranteeing they can assist you in ascending to the throne of the Daxuan Empire."
Fang Han withdrew his hand.
Instantly defeating the joint assault of over thirty cultivators! Even a golden core expert did not have this ability. Prince Yi's own cultivation was not low, qualifying as a master-level expert, so he could naturally perceive Fang Han's terror. His face instantly turned entirely green!
