In a remote alley in the eastern outskirts of the Great Western City, Mingyue Sha, who belonged to the Sand Country's secret guard, was waiting.
She was still thinking about the mission this time around.
"Fang Xingjian..."
This time around, she had only one goal in secretly infiltrating the Great Western Region — to gather information on Fang Xingjian. The priority of this mission was even higher than that of the Heavenly Primordial Annihilation Armor.
This was also because the Sand Country's upper echelon had already noticed Fang Xingjian's potential. In particular, his Rebirth Sword Technique was highly regarded by the Sand Country. The Sand Country's upper echelon had already determined that Fang Xingjian was an extremely great threat. They felt that although he was not very strong, he had great potential and should be eliminated as soon as possible.
Of course, it would be even better if they could kidnap him or instigate him to come to the Sand Country.
This was also Mingyue Sha's goal this time around. She was the first to gather information so that she could provide information to those who would come later.
Right now, she was waiting here to gather some information regarding Fang Xingjian.
Just then, a black-clothed man entered the alley. Mingyue Sha frowned and said, "You're late."
The black-clothed man shook his head. "We're not doing business with you anymore."
"Not doing business?" Mingyue Sha said angrily, "You guys want to go back on your word?"
"Hmph, it's not that we want to go back on our word. It's just that Fang Xingjian has already been blacklisted by us. We won't be selling any of his private information anymore."
Mingyue Sha asked in astonishment, "Why?"
From what she knew, only those Divine level experts and Demigods at the peak of the Divine level would receive such treatment.
"On account that we've been customers for many years..." The black-clothed man said calmly, "Let me personally give you a piece of news. One day ago, Fang Xingjian single-handedly fought against The School of Sword Arts' Supreme Chief, the Darkness Demon Lord, and the previous Governor of the Beize Continent. Currently, most people think that he is the genius expert in the Empire who has the highest chance of attaining the Divine level in recent years, with the exception of the First Prince. "If I were you, I'd put Fang Xingjian on the list of people I would never want to make an enemy of."
The captain of the Sand Country's secret guards listened to this series of news in a daze, as if he could not believe what he had just heard.
…
In the Great Western Region's Regional Academy, Hoult walked excitedly. Along the way, people would occasionally greet him and try to get close to him.
This Divine level disciple, who had come in second in the Regional Selection and had been defeated by Fang Xingjian, had been working hard in his cultivation over the past few months, other than getting intimate with the Regional Chief's daughter.
Initially, he had wanted to give up on Fang Xingjian's talent. However, the financial support that his sect, the Myriad Stars Palace, had sent him previously gave him new hope.
Of course, he did not know that this was the preparation the Myriad Stars Palace had made in order to deal with the seventh onslaught. They had allocated funds to most of the disciples with potential, hoping that they would be able to raise their abilities quickly.
He only thought that he was more valued by the sect.
Therefore, during this period of time, he had been working so hard that he had never worked so hard in the past 20 years. His only goal was to catch up to Fang Xingjian and defeat Fang Xingjian.
Yesterday, he had finally reached level 23. To be able to reach this stage within a mere seven months, he could be said to be a genius amongst geniuses. Moreover, he had also truly mastered the Myriad Stars Palace's Killing technique, the Myriad Stars Atlas, and now possessed extremely powerful abilities.
An hour ago, he had even defeated a Conferred Knight ranked 20th in the academy, a level 24 expert.
To be able to get into the top 20 in the academy within a mere half a year or so … This would be considered an amazing result in any Regional Academy.
Just then, a gorgeously dressed young lady walked over and looked at Hoult with a strange expression. It was Miley, the daughter of the Great Western Region's Regional Chief.
Hoult said passionately, "Miley, I've won. I'm now in the academy's top 20."
Miley nodded, a little distracted, and said, "Congratulations."
Hoult could clearly sense that she was distracted and asked, "What's wrong? Is something the matter? "
Miley frowned slightly and said, "Father wants me to meet Fang Xingjian in a few days' time."
"Fang Xingjian? Why is it him again? What does your father mean by this? "
Miley threw a surprised glance at Hoult and said, "You still don't know?"
Hoult was slightly stunned. "Know what?" He had been in seclusion during this period of time and had not had the time to pay attention to such news.
Miley sighed and said, "Two days ago, Fang Xingjian single-handedly defeated The School of Sword Arts' Supreme Chief, the Darkness Demon Lord, and the previous Governor of the Beize Continent. The Supreme Chief was forced to retreat, and the other two were killed on the spot."
Hoult immediately said, "That's impossible. The Supreme Chief is a Demigod expert and is said to have completed two tiers of perfection. How could he have lost to Fang Xingjian? "Who spread this news?"
Miley threw a pitiful glance at Hoult. She knew that he had always thought of Fang Xingjian as his rival and was trying his best to catch up to him.
"This news has been verified by many people. There's no way that it's wrong."
"How is that possible? How could this be? " Hoult said, a little dazed, "To think that he was able to defeat a Demigod with two tiers of perfection in just seven months? How on earth did he do that? "
Miley flicked her hair and looked at Hoult, who seemed to be in a daze. Was he still that elegant and talented Divine level disciple she knew?
Unknowingly, a hint of disappointment flashed in her mind, and she suddenly felt anticipation toward meeting Fang Xingjian.
…
In the Northern Ice Region's Sacred Land.
Rehlings, who was thought to have the potential to strive for the Divine level and had helped Fang Xingjian with the Rebirth Sword Technique before, laughed out loud.
His younger brother stood at the side, shook his head, and said, "If I hadn't verified it repeatedly, I wouldn't have believed that Fang Xingjian would be able to do this. "Big Brother, you have good foresight. Back then, you owed him a favor. This is a great favor."
Rehlings grinned. "Those fools in the clan didn't even think about it. How could the genius who invented the Rebirth Sword Technique be suppressed so easily?"
Simultaneously, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes. Although he had already ascertained that Fang Xingjian was not an ordinary person after seeing the Rebirth Sword Technique, he had not expected Fang Xingjian to improve so quickly. To think that Fang Xingjian had managed to defeat The School of Sword Arts' Supreme Chief in just a short half a year.
He suddenly let out a sigh and said, "Fang Xingjian … Not only will his name shake the world, but he'll probably overshadow the radiance of our few generations."
…
In the northern country, in a sanctuary of the Holy See of Truth.
Gardner, a member of the Holy Inquisition Court who was known as the Knight of the Rising Sun, hurried toward the Grand Executor's office. He did not know what urgent matter his superior had to have summoned him so urgently.
The moment Gardner entered the office, he discovered that other than his superior, several other important characters from the Holy Inquisition Court were already seated at the side. There were a few among them whose identities made Gardner feel slightly terrified.
When his superior saw Gardner enter, he asked directly, "Gardner, when you escorted the archbishop to the Sinkoda Empire previously, you worked together with Fang Xingjian on the Martial Techniques Grading Plan, right?"
At the thought of Fang Xingjian, Gardner's countenance turned slightly unnatural. Although he was astonished by Fang Xingjian's talent, the conflict between him and this lad had always been a thorn in his heart.
However, when he heard his superior's question, he still answered directly, "Yes."
"What does he look like?"
