Hong Yuan frowned in the main hall. The young man in white clothes in front of him had a formidable aura, and the aura on his body was even more powerful than those in the Martial King Realm.
At this time, it was noon, which was the moment when Hong Yuan was at his weakest. If he fought with him now, there would be no guarantee that he would be killed.
Moreover, Hong Yuan is not willing to offend the sect behind Fang Chen yet.
"Hahaha!"
After a moment, Hong Yuan suddenly laughed.
"You must be Mr. Fang Chen. It's interesting to say that. I originally wanted to meet you, but I didn't expect that it was Mr. Fang who came to visit me in person!"
Although Fang Chen didn't know what medicine Hong Yuan was selling in his gourd, he still asked him with a smile.
"Do you know me, Your Majesty?"
"Young Master Fang's name has long been known to the public. How could I not know that there is only one genius in this county every hundred years?" Hong Yuan said with a smile, "Among the younger generation of Xia'an County, you are also the most accomplished. You can compete in the Qianlong Conference." To achieve second place in such a grand event is also a honor for the folks in my hometown!”
"Your Majesty, there is no need to make fun of me. I still lost the Qianlong Conference after all. I am so embarrassed. How dare I shamelessly say that I brought honor to my hometown?" Fang Chen shook his head.
"Young Master Fang is too modest. Among the young people who came out of our Xia'an County, if you are ranked second, I'm afraid no one will dare to be ranked first, haha!"
Hong Yuan turned to look at Number Zero beside him.
"It's rare for Mr. Fang to come here today. No. 0, go and tell the kitchen to prepare good wine and delicacies. I want to get drunk with Mr. Fang today!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Although No. 0 was a little surprised, he immediately prepared a banquet for Hong Yuan.
"Your Majesty, there's no need to drink anymore!" Fang Chen directly extended his hand to refuse.
"By the way..."
Fang Chen glanced at Number Zero beside him and asked Hong Yuan directly.
"I wonder why Your Majesty sent people to monitor me?"
"Speaking of which, if I hadn't followed the prince all the way today, I might not have been able to find the prince's mansion."
Upon hearing Fang Chen's inquiry, Hong Yuan couldn't help but glare at Zero.
His mind was like lightning, and he immediately laughed at Fang Chen.
"Haha, Mr. Fang, you are worrying too much. The purpose of arranging subordinates around your residence is not to monitor you, but to protect you!"
"Protect me?" Fang Chen pretended to be confused.
Hong Yuan explained: "You, a Jade Dragon Clan disciple with a high status like Mr. Fang, will inevitably be noticed by thieves when you go out. If Mr. Fang is harmed in Yong'an City, it will not only be a loss to our Xia'an County, but also a huge loss to the entire Tianyun Kingdom." What a loss!”
Listening to Hong Yuan's lame explanation, Fang Chen was also a little amused. When did he need others to protect his own safety?
However, he also followed the other person's words and expressed his gratitude.
"Oh, thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
As he spoke, his expression suddenly changed and he said sternly: "However, I'm used to being free and loose, but I'm really not used to having a bunch of flies following me behind my back all the time. Please ask the prince not to arrange for anyone to protect me in the future."
"Speaking of which, it seems that there is not peace inside and outside Yong'an City recently. If the prince's manpower is sufficient, why not arrange for some people to patrol inside and outside the city several times every night to protect the residents of Yong'an City from the blood demon. This is not Isn’t it better than protecting me alone?”
"Haha, I will consider this suggestion." Hong Yuan immediately said with a smile.
"Okay, Your Majesty, I still have some things to deal with, so I won't stay any longer. I'll take my leave."
"Okay, Mr. Fang, let's go. I've been feeling a little sick lately so I won't see you off much."
Seeing that Fang Chen was about to leave, Hong Yuan did not stop him.
Fang Chen just took a few steps, stopped again, turned around and said.
"By the way, the prince's two subordinates, I will send them to the prince's palace later."
"Then I'll trouble Mr. Fang!"
Knowing that his subordinates had been captured by Fang Chen, Hong Yuan was not angry at all, but instead thanked Fang Chen.
Fang Chen saluted Hong Yuan again, and then left without looking back.
Seeing Fang Chen leaving in such a swagger, No. 0 was surprised.
He didn't understand why the master let him go so easily?
Just as he was doubting, Hong Yuan in the palace suddenly slapped the throne. The huge sound reverberated throughout the hall, startling even No. 0.
"What's going on, No. 0, didn't I tell you not to alert others?!"
Obviously, Hong Yuan was very angry at Fang Chenhui's sudden visit, but he had just been holding back and not having an attack.
"Now not only have your traces been discovered, but Fang Chen has also been allowed to follow you into the palace with great arrogance, and you didn't even notice anything!"
"Master, forgive me. Fang Chen's strength is beyond my expectation, especially since he is so thoughtful and thoughtful. He is really difficult to deal with."
Number Zero felt extremely aggrieved. He had obviously suppressed his aura to the lowest level, but he didn't expect that the other party would discover him through the faint smell of blood on his body.
"Do you know that this will disrupt all my plans!" Hong Yuan said angrily.
No. 0 knelt down on his knees, buried his head deep in the ground, and begged Hong Yuan: "You are guilty, please master, punish me!"
"Guilty, guilty. I didn't spend so much energy and blood training you just to hear your confession here!"
Hearing Zero's words, Hong Yuan became even more angry.
"you you……"
In anger, Hong Yuan's breathing suddenly became rapid.
He held his head and wailed from his mouth, seeming to be in extreme pain.
Seeing this situation, No. 0 quickly asked: "Master, are you okay?"
"Blood, blood, I want blood!"
Hong Yuan began to howl like crazy, his eyes turned blood red, fangs sprouted from his mouth, and he became more and more ferocious.
"No, the master's blood poison has been violated!"
Seeing Hong Yuan's appearance become so terrifying, No. 0 rushed to the front of the hall and stretched his arm to Hong Yuan's mouth.
Hong Yuan immediately bit Zero's arm and started sucking it crazily.
"Come here, bring the tribute quickly!!"
Following Zero's instructions, a servant soon brought in a wine bottle filled with blood.
"Sir, the tribute has arrived."
"Hurry, serve it quickly, the master may not be able to hold it anymore!" Number Zero immediately ordered.
When the servant saw Hong Yuan's terrifying appearance, although he was a little scared, he still walked forward tremblingly.
"Okay, thank you." Zero took the wine bottle and expressed his gratitude to the servant.
"These are all small responses..."
Before the servant finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and a sharp claw suddenly appeared, piercing his chest.
Unexpectedly, Hong Yuan, who was concentrating on sucking No. 0's arm, suddenly took action at this moment and dug out the servant's heart with one blow.
Zero was not surprised at all by this, and seemed to have expected this situation.
He knew in his heart that anyone who saw Hong Yuan like this would die!
"Master, please use it!" No. 0 handed the wine bottle to Hong Yuan.
Hong Yuan took the wine bottle and took a swig directly to the spout.
"call!"
After drinking all the blood in the wine pot, Hong Yuan let out a long sigh of relief.
"Master, are you okay?!"
Hong Yuan had completely returned to his normal appearance at this time.
He wiped the blood off his hands with a handkerchief and said, "It's okay for now. However, the attacks of blood poison are becoming more and more frequent. If this continues, it will be a matter of time before my face is completely exposed."
Suddenly, Hong Yuan remembered something again and asked quickly: "By the way, how are the collection of the thirty-three tributes I ordered before?"
"After these days of capture, we have collected more than half of them!" No. 0 replied respectfully.
"Okay, you can collect the tributes as soon as possible in these two days. Once collected, send them to the palace immediately." Hong Yuan nodded, very satisfied with this efficiency.
"yes!"
"Remember, don't let this matter go wrong again. To suppress the blood poison in my body, I must collect thirty-three tributes."
"I understand, little one!"
Thinking of Fang Chen who came to cause trouble today, No. 0 asked again: "By the way, Master, will we continue to monitor Fang Chen in the future?"
"What do you think?" Hong Yuan was obviously a little angry.
As soon as Fang Chen returned to Qingfeng Pavilion, he saw Lin Yu waiting at the door.
"Sir, you didn't encounter anything, right?!" Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Fang Chen returning safely.
Fang Chen replied: "Haha, nothing happened."
Lin Yu thought of something and asked quickly: "Master, where is the person you are chasing?"
Fang Chen smiled and said, "I let him go back."
"Put it back?" Lin Yu couldn't understand Fang Chen's thoughts.
Fang Chen explained: "There is a lot of power behind that person, and we don't have to break up with them over this matter yet."
"That's right." Lin Yu nodded in understanding.
"By the way, Alin, how did you do with the things I told you?" Fang Chen suddenly asked again.
"Those two are both warriors. They have been knocked unconscious by me. Shopkeeper Sun just tied them up in a guest room with two special ropes."
"Okay, Alin, ask Shopkeeper Sun to immediately arrange for people to send these two people directly to Zhennan Prince's Mansion on the outskirts of the city."
"Prince Zhennan's Mansion? Why send them there?" Lin Yu was also a little confused about this.
"Haha, send them back to meet their master." Fang Chen also smiled.
Only then did Lin Yu realize that the power behind these people mentioned by Fang Chen must be the legendary King Zhennan.
…
A few days later, Lin Yu followed Fang Chen to a dyeing shop located in the southwest outside the city.
"Sir, what are you doing here?"
Lin Yu raised his doubts.
Fang Chen explained: "Uncle Tang asked us to gather here."
"Master Tang?"
Lin Yu was shocked.
"Arin, don't you think the smell of this dyeing shop is a little strange?"
"odor?"
After hearing Fang Chen's words, Lin Yu immediately sniffed the air and then answered.
"Sir, there is only a very unpleasant dye smell here, there is no other smell."
"Haha, you can smell it again." Lin Yu's answer didn't seem to satisfy Fang Chen.
Lin Yu took a deep breath again, and this time he quickly discovered something was wrong.
The smell in the air, in addition to the smell of dye, was also mixed with a hint of other smells. This smell was very familiar to Lin Yu. It was the smell that was emitted from the underground blood pool.
Suddenly, he understood what the other smells Fang Chen was talking about were.
