On the fifth day of the joint search by the three parties, Feng Qianqiu showed up again and attacked a group of martial artists from the Daqian Royal Family.
All of the Earth Element martial artists fell victim to Feng Qianqiu, not a single one escaped.
On the same day, Feng Qianqiu also intruded into a branch of the Li Family, wreaking havoc and then disappearing without a trace.
In light of this, the indifferent attitude of the three major forces changed as they realized Feng Qianqiu was a madman, showing no respect for any of them as he targeted the Daqian Royal Family and the Li Family.
The Daqian Royal Family and Li Family, having reached their tolerance limits, dispatched several experts to step up the search.
Only the Purple Mist Sect persisted in their half-hearted approach.
Despite the dissatisfaction of the Daqian Royal Family and the Li Family towards the Purple Mist Sect’s attitude, they could not raise any objections, as the Purple Mist Sect was at least participating in the search and Feng Qianqiu wasn’t provoking them.
However, this passive approach didn’t last long; Feng Qianqiu finally took action against the Purple Mist Sect.
More than twenty disciples sent out by the Martial Sect were attacked by Feng Qianqiu. If several martial elders hadn’t been nearby to intervene in time, all of these disciples would have been killed.
Even so, the Martial Sect had still lost seven formal disciples.
Now, the Purple Mist Sect had no choice but to put in full effort into the search. Once Feng Qianqiu had directly attacked them, they could no longer tolerate it.
On the day the bad news arrived, Xing Tianxiao, the head of the Martial Sect, personally set out to hunt Feng Qianqiu in a fit of fury.
Once Xing Tianxiao made a move, the other two families ceased all complaints. The Purple Mist Sect had dispatched their leader to hunt Feng Qianqiu, demonstrating their serious commitment to the search.
Under such an intense search, Feng Qianqiu could no longer act recklessly as he used to.
He had been found several times by the three families and had only managed to escape after heavy fighting.
Xing Tianxiao had a confrontation with Feng Qianqiu. Even though Feng Qianqiu was injured at the time, Xing Tianxiao was still unable to apprehend him.
This proved Feng Qianqiu’s formidable strength; if he had not been injured, Xing Tianxiao might not have been a match for him.
No wonder, without outstanding capabilities, one wouldn’t be able to escape from Yuan Country to Meng Kingdom and then audaciously cause trouble in Qian Country.
A month passed and Feng Qianqiu still hadn’t been captured. He was hiding within the bounds of Qian Country.
The Daqian Royal Family was under pressure from Yuan Country, warning that if Feng Qianqiu was not captured within three months, the Yuan Country would send their own powerful forces to Qian Country to capture him personally.
Having foreign interference in their affairs is something no royal family of any country wants.
Unless absolutely necessary, the Daqian Royal Family would never allow the involvement of external powers.
This would not only be a disregard and insult to the Daqian Royal Family but would also disrupt the power balance within Qian Country.
In such a desperate situation, the Emperor of Daqian went to seek counsel from Elder Su, requesting assistance from the Pill Alliance.
Initially, Elder Su refused the Emperor of Daqian’s request. According to the usual style of the Pill Alliance, they wouldn’t easily get involved in such
matters.
However, the Emperor of Daqian repeatedly sought him out. Elder Su had no choice. After all, they had to give face to the leaders of the land where the Pill Alliance was established. Furthermore, the Emperor had begged many times; they couldn’t remain indifferent.
After Elder Su agreed, he dispatched experts from the Pill Alliance to join the search for Feng Qianqiu.
With the entry of the Pill Alliance, the spirits of all three powers were lifted. Meanwhile, Feng Qianqiu, seeming to realize that he couldn’t escape anymore if he continued his rampage, surprisingly kept a low profile, not showing himself again.
Since the Daqian Royal Family had stationed a large number of soldiers at the border of Qian Country, they weren’t worried about Feng Qianqiu escaping from Qian Country.
While chaos ensued throughout Qian Country due to Feng Qianqiu, the end of the year arrived.
The Pill Sect and Martial Sect each started their own promotion examinations. All the disciples, except those who were out, were absorbed in the intense yet exciting examinations.
Fang Lin did not participate in any assessments. As already having the title of Second Cauldron Pill Refiner, he directly became a medium-level disciple of the Pill Sect.
In just two years, he had progressed from a Pill Apprentice to a medium-level disciple. This feat, in the history of the Pill Sect, only happened very few times.
The people who had entered the Purple Mist Sect with Fang Lin were filled with envy towards Fang Lin’s meteoric rise. If they knew earlier that he would achieve such feats, they would have formed better relations with him. Regrettably, there were no second chances. Those who were envious of Fang Lin could only continue to envy him.
Among them, the one with the most complicated feelings was the Martial Sect’s disciple, Fang Yang.
Fang Yang and Fang Lin, both from the Fang Family, were in fact, relatives. According to the hierarchy, Fang Yang was Fang Lin’s older cousin.
Initially, Fang Yang held Fang Lin in disdain. However, after an incident in which he was humiliated by Fang Lin, Fang Yang held a grudge, constantly thinking of revenge.
But as Fang Lin’s fame rocketed again and again, attracting attention from all directions, Fang Yang became more and more confused.
Fang Yang was not foolish—he saw the growing gap between himself and Fang Lin, a gap so large that he could only look up to Fang Lin.
Now, Fang Lin was already a medium-level disciple, while Fang Yang still had to go through that year’s examination to potentially become a formal disciple of the Martial Sect.
When they initially joined, Fang Yang was also considered somewhat gifted and received quite a bit of attention.
But now, who aside from a few in the Martial Sect knew him, Fang Yang?
And Fang Lin? This name was probably echoing throughout Qian Country.
Fang Yang felt a deep sense of powerlessness and defeat. Both coming from the Fang Family, joining the sect on the same day, but within the short span of two years, why was the gap between them so large?
On the day before the promotion examination, Fang Yang pondered for a long time before finally deciding to visit the Pill Sect and meet Fang Lin.
Although he said he was coming to visit, he was actually there to apologize to Fang Lin.
When Fang Lin saw Fang Yang’s arrival, he was taken by surprise. If this guy hadn’t appeared, Fang Lin might have completely forgotten about Fang Yang.
Indeed, some people just have a low profile.
“Who is this person?” Dugu Nian casually asked at the side.
Fang Lin answered, “He’s considered my cousin.”
Dugu Nian’s interest piqued upon hearing this. He watched Fang Yang for a while, causing Fang Yang to flush red, not knowing where to put his hands.
“Stop messing around, go off to the side,” Fang Lin said impatiently, casting a scrutinizing gaze over Fang Yang.
As he faced Fang Lin, Fang Yang, for some reason, felt a sense of inferiority welling up in his heart..
