Although he felt a little emotional, Wang Tiangang adjusted his state of mind very quickly.
After Fang Xingjian became a target that they would never be able to surpass, he also became their greatest backer and thigh.
It could be said that because of Fang Xingjian's existence, the Great Western Region Regional Academy's Conferred Knights and Knights took up half of the positions in the Empire's military and political system.
Wang Tiangang himself also benefited from this and gained a very lucrative position in the Eastern Sand Region. He had over 30 Conferred Knights under him, and each and every one of his actions could determine the rise and fall of countless clans in the Eastern Sand Region.
It could be said that the authority he had now was something that he would never have imagined in the past.
And the source of all this was this man before him.
Thinking of this, he bent his back even more humbly. "Sir, if you have any instructions, I'll send someone to do it immediately."
"There's no need to trouble others. I'll be leaving in a while." Fang Xingjian shook his head and scanned Wang Tiangang's body with his martial will. He said calmly, "Demigod with one tier of perfection? Not bad. "
"It's all thanks to Sir's nurturing," Wang Tiangang said respectfully.
Fang Xingjian flicked his finger slightly, and a stream of blood-red light gushed into the treasured sword that Wang Tiangang had just refined.
It was a level 29 Superior Divine Weapon, but after receiving the reinforcement from this stream of blood-red light, it started to tremble intensely. Waves of Divine level martial will appeared faintly.
Seeing this, how could Wang Tiangang not know that Fang Xingjian had the intention to help him? He immediately half-knelt down and said happily, "Sir, thank you for granting me this."
"It's just something I did along the way," Fang Xingjian said calmly. "Over the past half a month, how many people have entered the forbidden area?"
Wang Tiangang did not dare to hide anything and said directly, "Most of the wild Knights from the factions have been blocked outside by us. However, some officials from the Imperial Capital have also entered. "There are also some Demigods whose cultivation is too high. Although they did not enter openly out of fear of Sir's reputation, they probably performed their stealth arts and went in to take a look. "I estimate that about 30 people have entered the forbidden area.
"There are countless strange people in this world. Some of them have higher cultivation bases than you and are skilled in stealth techniques. I don't blame you for not noticing them or for not being able to stop them." Fang Xingjian nodded and asked with a frown, "But I've already given the order to forbid anyone from entering. Who's from the Imperial Capital? Whose orders are they serving? "
Hearing Fang Xingjian's words, Wang Tiangang's face instantly turned extremely pale. He dropped to his knees, his head touching the ground as he said anxiously, "It's … It's the few lords from the East Military Execution Order. They said that they're here to investigate the situation in the forbidden ground on the orders of the execution master."
Hearing Wang Tiangang's words, Fang Xingjian let out a cold laugh and did not reply. He merely thought to himself, 'To think that there are already signs of corruption in the upper echelons even though I've only ruled over the Empire for a short period of time. 'It's time for me to kill a batch of people when I return this time around. Otherwise, some people will really think that they can do whatever they want.'
Wang Tiangang dropped to his knees, trembling. After answering a few more questions from Fang Xingjian regarding the situation in the forbidden ground, he did not receive a reply from Fang Xingjian even after a very long time had passed. It was only after over ten minutes that Wang Tiangang slowly got up, but there was no sign of Fang Xingjian.
Fang Xingjian's body flashed a few times and he entered the forbidden area, arriving in a valley in the center of the forbidden area.
Based on the rumors in the world, this was the place where the treasures were kept. Based on the information provided by the Immortal Child, this was the place where one of the Quanji Seven — the demon known as Yuzi — was sealed.
Scanning the entire valley with his martial will, Fang Xingjian's brows twitched slightly. 'What a strong stench of blood. Based on what Wang Tiangang said, there shouldn't be such a serious fight here.'
At the thought of this, Fang Xingjian took a step forward and entered the spatial gaps. It was as if he had become an invisible existence, instantly sinking into the underground of the valley.
Through his martial will's senses, he could sense that there was a huge hole ten meters underground in this valley. It should be the place where the demon was sealed.
Passing through the spatial gaps and across the rocky soil layer, endless darkness swept past. Fang Xingjian's vision suddenly lit up, and he appeared in an underground palace.
In an instant, a stench of blood gushed out. Fang Xingjian's countenance was a little grim as he looked at the corpses under his feet. From what he could see, there were only 30 people.
The number of people who had barged into this underground palace had probably far surpassed Wang Tiangang's estimation.
However, those who had the ability to barge into this place were naturally people that Wang Tiangang would not be able to discover. Therefore, even if they were to go missing, who would know that they had died in this underground palace which was ten meters underground?
'That's not right …' Fang Xingjian lowered his head and scanned the corpses under his feet. His brows furrowed. 'Many of these corpses are just Knights. 'Moreover, no matter how weak Wang Tiangang is, he still possesses the abilities of a Demigod. In order to escape his senses and barge into this underground palace, one must at least have the abilities of a Demigod.'
At the thought of this, Fang Xingjian understood that something was wrong with the situation. Therefore, with a single thought, he leaped out from the spatial gaps and headed into the depths of the underground palace along the corridor.
'There's no hostility.
'There's no Sudden Inspiration either.
'Even so, they didn't discover me.
'Or have they already left?'
Fang Xingjian's gaze swept past the stone slabs in the underground palace and he thought, 'It's just as what the Immortal Child said. In order to seal the demon and prevent the martial will from coming out, they used Demonic Metal which can prevent the martial will from coming out.'
His palm gently stroked the stone slabs under his feet and the walls beside him. They were all made from Demonic Metal, and Fang Xingjian had a slight understanding of the composition of these materials.
'It's a material similar to the Heaven-Connecting Upper Extremity Sword Physique. It's no wonder that it can protect against radiation and electromagnetic waves. It can also prevent the detection of martial will.
'Was it forged by Saint Adam?
'With such a great amount, then his energy reserves and control over the microscopic world …'
Just from the materials of the underground palace, Fang Xingjian could already sense how great Saint Adam's cultivation had been 1,000 years ago.
Even he would not be able to use his martial will to scan the entire area without resorting to violent means to change the structure of this place. He could only walk over step by step.
Therefore, as he walked on, he discovered traces of massacres everywhere. Countless Knights and Conferred Knights had been engaged in a massacre in this underground palace. They seemed to have forgotten their purpose for coming here. Even until the moment of their deaths, their faces were still filled with madness.
Fang Xingjian squatted down and touched the body of a Conferred Knight with one hand. The essence, energy, and ether particles in the body had all been completely drawn out.
The entire corpse had almost become an empty shell. The bones which could have been used to forge Superior Divine Weapons were now no different from the bones of ordinary people.
'Making use of the massacres to draw out the powers of these Conferred Knights?'
Fang Xingjian's gaze flickered slightly, and he suddenly lifted his head to look at the corridor before him.
'Someone's coming?'
