THE LIGHTNING EMPEROR

40 Days to go

***

In the Fang Clan's current settlement, Fang Xian and all the people who supported him were sitting in a meeting room.

"It didn't feel like time was spinning so fast, the time of the agreement was already very close, had Fang An already become strong and would be able to resist Fu Jianzi's strength?" said Fang Xian who was sitting anxiously.

"What are you worried about Master Fang, elder Bing Chen alone has high confidence in your son!" gu Yao He said.

"The Pill King is right! After all it was impossible that the Peach Tree Mountain Sect would dare to act rashly as long as here there were still Northern Region Sovereigns and Pill Kings! With the strength of two Experts on our side, does Fu Jianzi still have the courage to be arrogant?" said Mu Yuan.

"Actually we should not underestimate them, did you forget that there was actually another powerful figure behind that Peach Tree Mountain Sect? Remember if they actually have the ability to fight us!" said Mu Zhi Tian.

In another chair, Bing Rong and Bing Zao Ling were sitting while listening to the chatter of all of them, whereas Bing Chen was not in the room, he was in the air to make sure if there would not be any intruders from the Blood Valley Devils that were secretly sneaking into the Fang Clan's settlement.

"Older Bing, do we need to add more strength on our side?" ask Chang Hanzi.

"Hem! In my opinion it is necessary, because we do not know what kind of power they will bring," Bing Zao Ling replied.

"If my grandfather's abilities are very high, but the power of the Blood Valley Devil cannot be underestimated, they have many powerful people, he said, whereas people who had Xu Hun abilities were very common in their region," Bing Rong said.

"Truly a terrible faction! If they really come bearing great power, I fear that this Green Mainland Continent will be destroyed!" muttered Chang Hanzi.

On their side there were currently the Two Experts, namely Bing Chen who was at the peak of Xu Hun Level 9, and Gu Yao He who reached the Xu Hun Level 1 stage, respectively, while Yu Jing's Strength was Chang Hanzi, Mu Zhi Tian, Mao Lin, Bing Zao Ling, and the two Yu Jing brought by Bing Zao Ling.

For Yu Zhu's strength there were five people, namely Bing Rong and the other four he had brought from his Sect, so their strength has been said to be more than enough if only against the power of the Peach Tree Mountain Sect and its supporters, but another story if there is help from the figure behind the Sect.

"Dead counting the time the agreement will arrive soon, I hope An'er does not force himself to fight against Fu Jianzi!" fang Xian's Murmur.

"Fu Jianzi is very cunning, although he won not necessarily he will release the Fang Clan, especially if he loses! If the great power that was behind him wasn't there, I'll make sure Fu Jianzi won't dare to take this bold step!" gu Yao He said.

"We'll leave everything to the deal, maybe now my niece is on her way home!" fang Zui said.

Of all the people gathered there, there was one of the Fang Clan members who was just silently listening, but his face looked unhappy at the news, and strangely no one was aware of the attitude of the person.

Outside of the meeting, several youths were also gathering there, they were Luo Ying, Gu Fei Ming, Shin He, Mu Yi Ling, and the youths from the Mu Clan, Qin Clan, and Chang Clan.

Ever since they knew each other in that place, they had all become familiar with each other, and of course some young men who had never seen Fang An's figure were always curious about the figure rumored to be competing with the strongest figure of the Peach Tree Mountain.

"It's been almost three years since Fang An's brother went to practice! I wonder how strong he is now?" gu Fei Ming said.

"If I miss him so much!" said Luo Ying.

Right now Gu Fei Ming had already reached the Peak stage of Yu Zha and it only took a little push to break through to the Yu Zhu stage, whereas Luo Ying had already reached the Yu Zha Level 7 stage, and of the three of them only Shin He was the most left behind, he was still at the Peak Yu Zhi stage, all of which was caused by Shin He himself rarely training to increase his Cultivation Level.

Although he was the weakest of the four brothers, but in the ability to refine the Pill, it was precisely Shin He who was the best, even now he had already caught up with Gu Fei Ming's level of Pill refining ability.

Mu Yi Ling's current ability had already reached the level of Yu Zha Level 3, and it was him getting from the way of training hard and being guided directly by Mu Zhi Tian.

"Miss Mu, is the Qi Binding Pill I gave you over?" ask Gu Fei Ming.

"There's still big brother Luo, still about 5 more," Mu Yi Ling replied.

"If you're done, say it, I'll make a slightly higher pill!" gu Fei Ming said.

Mu Yi Ling nodded with an awkward feeling, moreover, those who supported him could reach the Yu Zha stage as well because of the help from Gu Fei Ming who helped him give the Qi Binding Pill that could increase the amount of Qi to help Mu Yi Ling could go up the Yu Zha stage.

"Brother Fang, we all can't wait for you to return!" luo Ying said as she recalled the first time she met Fang An in Tinsang village, when Fang An had managed to save the children who had been kidnapped by the Moon Shadow Group.

At that time Fang An was also being poisoned, too, that made him meet with his teacher King Pil Gu Yao He until he ended up being a disciple of the Pill King and became brothers Luo Ying and Shin He and Gu Fei Ming.

While chatting, the guards who were on top of the watchtower saw a speck of black matter from a distance. The distance was so far away that it looked like a speck of black mark, and they assumed that it was likely a bird in flight that they ignored it.

"According to the timings of the agreement, it should start in about 40 days!" gu Fei Ming said.

"It's that close, huh? Really a short time," Luo Ying said then she looked at Shin He who was writing beside her.

"Sister Shin, come on! We are gathering, stop writing your new recipes first" Luo Ying said.

"You're just chatting there's no need to care about me!" answer Shin He.

Luo Ying only shook her head to see her elder brother who remained deep in his Alchemist despite being gathered, what Shin He did most often was to write recipes by blending compositions to refine his Pill, if it failed he would take note of it and would re-learn it while making slight changes, and Shin He always made his failure as a success teacher in the refinement of his Pills.

When everyone was still chatting well that was in the meeting room to the outside of the room, suddenly the bright sky let out a roar of wind that made everyone look up, which made everyone look up, even the ones in the room came out.

"What's wrong with elder Bing Chen?" gu Fei Ming said.

That wind rumbling sound turned out to be from Bing Chen, and everyone started to see the figure of the old man in ancient clothes and had six chunks of ice behind his back descend and land in front of them all.

"What's Grandpa? Is there something you see?" ask Bing Rong.

Bing Chen was silent which made everyone very curious, and after that Bing Chen stared in a distant direction while saying, "Prepare to welcome his arrival, please, he'll be coming soon with a number of great surprises for us!" bing Chen said.

"Does the elder mean my son?" asked Fang Lin.

Bing Chen nodded slowly so as to make Fang Xian and Fang Lin very happy then immediately gathered the entire Fang Clan members to get ready to welcome the arrival of their son who had been gone for almost three years.

It was just that none of them saw any signs that Fang An would be coming soon except for a speck of black mark in a very distant direction, and the only one who could figure it out was Bing Chen who had extremely high Spiritual Soul abilities.
