141: Cold-hearted father and son

Chapter 141: The Cold-Hearted Father and Son Duo

Seeing one Prodigy after another surpass her, Ye Wushuang’s expression remained unchanged, as if she hadn’t noticed; she was only focused on herself.

She was never on the same level as these Prodigies to begin with; her goal wasn’t to clear the final layer, but simply to go further.

At this moment, Fang Chen’s speed was neither fast nor slow, and he had already entered the fiftieth layer.

Fang Chen felt a surge of pressure, making his body heavier and causing him to feel a sense of strain.

At the same time, a Jade Slip appeared, which was the reward for clearing the fiftieth layer.

Fang Chen swept his Divine Sense over it; this Jade Slip contained a decent Cultivation Technique, but it hadn’t even reached the Saint-Grade.

Fang Chen didn’t care, casually placing it into his Storage Ring.

For him, ordinary secret techniques were useless.

Outside the Donghe Immortal Mansion, a light screen appeared, displaying numerous scenes from within the core area.

“What’s going on?”

“Why did the core area’s images appear so early this time?”

“Indeed, didn’t it usually only open after ten or twenty days?”

Everyone’s faces were filled with shock, as many of them had experienced the Donghe Immortal Mansion’s events before.

Only after the core area opened would the two Realms truly connect, and they would then learn everything that happened within the core area.

But now, this time had been greatly advanced.

When everyone saw Fang Chen, they understood that it was because Fang Chen had slain the Half-Step Sage Realm Vicious Beast, which caused the core area to open early.

“Cloud Heaven Holy Son, truly worthy of being hailed as the strongest Prodigy, reaching over twenty layers in such a short time.”

“This little girl is also good; she’s a promising talent, and with proper cultivation, she will definitely become a top-tier Prodigy.”

“Other Prodigies have also arrived; I wonder if they can catch up to the Cloud Heaven Holy Son’s pace. Others probably have no hope, but Ao Tianyu has a sliver of hope.”

“Ao Tianyu has started, and his speed is surprisingly fast, already surpassing Nine Yang Saint and Hua Mengying.”

“His speed is indeed fast; he’s almost caught up to the Cloud Heaven Holy Son.”

With the opening of the core area, everyone began to discuss heatedly, but only one person’s expression was incredibly gloomy.

Xiao Chonglou’s face suddenly changed when he saw the images from the core area.

Why hadn’t he seen Xiao Yunting, and why hadn’t he seen Mo Wushang?

This was absolutely impossible!

If the core area opened, Mo Wushang would certainly enter.

But after such a long time, he still hadn’t seen them.

This time, Mo Wushang was sent to obtain something in the core area.

They had learned that within the trial space of the core area, a gift would be obtained upon reaching one hundred layers.

Among these gifts, one item was extremely important to them.

This concerned the opening of the Tianyi Magic Region and the emergence of the Devil Emperor.

That’s why Mo Wushang was specifically sent for this item.

They had also made ample preparations; as long as Mo Wushang passed the one-hundred-layer trial, he would have a very high probability of obtaining this item.

Then, under the protection of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Heavenly Demons, he would bring this item back to the Tianyi Magic Region.

They also knew that Mo Wushang was likely to be exposed.

If Mo Wushang failed to pass one hundred layers and his identity was exposed, they would abandon him immediately.

Even if he was the top Prodigy of the Tianyi Magic Region, they would abandon him without hesitation, because in their eyes, the strong cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the powerful Heavenly Demons were the foundation.

Once they were exposed, they would fall into a state of utter ruin.

Just as Xiao Chonglou was lost in thought, Xiao Yunting left the Donghe Immortal Mansion and arrived here.

“Where is Mo Wushang?”

Xiao Chonglou asked with a gloomy face and a cold tone.

“He has already fallen; he was suppressed by Fang Chen with a palm strike from a distance,” Xiao Yunting said.

Recalling Fang Chen’s attack, Xiao Yunting felt a surge of despair.

“Fallen?”

Xiao Chonglou looked at Xiao Yunting, his face full of disbelief, saying, “Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!”

“With Mo Wushang’s strength, even the Cloud Heaven Holy Son would find it difficult to kill him. How could he have fallen?”

“Although I also find it a bit hard to believe, this is the truth.”

“I personally saw Fang Chen kill Mo Wushang with a single palm strike from a distance.”

“In fact, Fang Chen never even appeared from beginning to end.”

Xiao Yunting was still somewhat shocked even now.

Seeing Xiao Chonglou’s disbelieving face, Xiao Yunting took a deep breath; he would react the same way if it were him.

Because Mo Wushang’s strength was evident; Qin Tianming and Nine Yang Saint, even working together, were injured by Mo Wushang, let alone defeating him.

But he never expected that Fang Chen would kill the opponent with a casual palm strike.

From this, one could imagine how strong Fang Chen truly was.

“Has Fang Chen already entered the Half-Step Sage Realm?” Xiao Chonglou asked.

If Fang Chen had entered the Half-Step Sage Realm, then this kind of outcome would be possible.

“No, he is only in the Return to Ruins Realm.”

“However, he might not be far from entering the Half-Step Sage Realm.”

Xiao Yunting could sense Fang Chen’s Cultivation Realm.

“This Cloud Heaven Holy Son is truly a Prodigy,” Xiao Chonglou said, taking a deep breath. “But why have you become a Divine Origin Realm cultivator?”

At this moment, Xiao Chonglou finally noticed that Xiao Yunting’s Realm had fallen and was no longer the Enlightenment Realm it once was.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunting’s face turned grim, and he said in a deep voice, “After Mo Wushang fell, I wanted to use the Demonic Technique to devour his Origin, but I didn’t expect that Fang Chen’s power still lingered in Mo Wushang’s body.”

Hearing this, Xiao Chonglou understood.

This Xiao Yunting was too impatient and didn’t examine Mo Wushang’s corpse, which led to him being tricked by Fang Chen.

“It’s better for you to be careful and cautious in the future.”

After a moment of thought, Xiao Chonglou could only offer this comfort.

“Now that our plan has failed, do we need to proceed with the backup plan?”

Xiao Yunting thought for a moment and asked cautiously.

If it were before, Xiao Yunting would certainly be incredibly indifferent, appearing aloof and unresponsive.

But now it was different; his cultivation had fallen, which made Xiao Yunting feel extremely irritable.

Coupled with not having devoured Qin Tianming’s Origin, he was somewhat eager to devour the other party.

However, even before his Realm fell, he didn’t have the strength to kill Qin Tianming, and now he had even less.

“This matter will be discussed later.”

Xiao Chonglou was also very irritable.

Mo Wushang’s death was beyond his expectation.

In his opinion, Mo Wushang would definitely be able to go to the core area, and even if he couldn’t clear one hundred layers, he would at least gain a considerable amount.

But now, Mo Wushang was killed with a palm strike from a distance in the outer area of the Donghe Immortal Mansion.

Now Xiao Yunting even suggested that he act against Qin Tianming, which made Xiao Chonglou somewhat impatient.

If Xiao Yunting wasn’t still somewhat useful, he would truly want to slap him to death.

This guy was ineffective, had no ability at all, and yet acted self-important and conceited.

He wouldn’t think highly of Xiao Yunting just because he was his son.

For Xiao Chonglou, there were no so-called relatives or friends, only relationships based on interests.

Useful people were relatives, and useless people were trash.
