Black-Clothed Alley was located in the southeast corner of Ocean City, where Jing Sheng had started out. After he became a saint, it was protected as a historical site.
The buildings in Black-Clothed Alley remained the same as before, and there were very few people there.
However, a purple-robed scholar walked out of a room in Black-Clothed Alley. His hair was half black and half white, and he was handsome. His eyes seemed to contain the void, as if he could not see this world.
Lei Konghe, the literary hero who had escaped from the Saint Burial Valley, had finally recovered from his injuries. His strength had also been completely restored. The energy around his body was surging violently. Finally, under his deliberate control, the energy dissipated, and his long robe slowly fell back to the ground.
The fierce wind in the courtyard slowly dissipated.
Raikonghe stood in the courtyard with his official seal, and he quickly read the letters in the seal according to the time they were sent. Soon, he reached the last letter.
It was a letter that Lei Tingyu had left for Raikonghe, saying that he was about to leave Ocean Border City and go to Half-saint's former residence. If there were no more letters, it meant that he had been near Half-saint's former residence or had already entered Half-saint's former residence, so Raikonghe had to go there as soon as possible.
When Lei Konghe saw Lei Tingyu's letter, a faint smile appeared on his face. His eyes flashed with a touch of concern for his elder brother.
Although his literary rank was higher than Lei Tingyu's, he was more than ten years younger than the latter, and he had been taken care of since he was young. Therefore, after entering Ocean Cliff Ancient Land, he did not hesitate to help Lei Tingyu get rid of the Shui Tribe's Ruler even though he was heavily injured, and only then did he go into seclusion to cultivate.
After reading the last letter, Raikonghe guessed that Lei Tingyu had already entered Half-saint's former residence, or else there would not have been no new letters after so many days.
Raikonghe put down his official seal with a proud expression. From his point of view, whether it was Zhuge Half-saint's former residence or Elder Bi, they were all his, and even the entire poisonous desert was his. After all, he had come here from Saint Burial Valley with Poison Desert, and he had already regarded the place as his sphere of influence.
Raikonghe looked around and found himself in the unfamiliar Ocean Border City.
He didn't have the slightest interest in Haijiang City. In his opinion, this was a place filled with the stench of money, which couldn't enter the eyes of a dignified literary giant.
He stepped onto Cloud Walk and flew straight towards the Poison Desert.
On the Wen Academy Square in the center of the city, all the Great Scholars and Great Scholars of Haijiang City had gathered together. They had been waiting for Fang Yun to speak, but now they could only watch Raikonghe's back as he walked away.
Fang Yun was already prepared for battle. Who would have thought that Raikonghe wouldn't even look at the situation in Haijiang City and would directly leave.
He felt as if he had brushed past his mortal enemy.
Fang Yun felt quite disappointed because he had just become a Literary Ancestor and wanted to find a powerful Literary Ancestor or Literary Hero to spar with to see how strong he was. It was a pity that Raikonghe did not give him the chance.
As for the few literary masters in front of him, Fang Yun was not interested in them. They were too weak.
Fang Yun sat on the red sandalwood armchair while the Great Scholars and Great Scholars of Haijiang City stood on both sides.
Most of them lowered their heads and kept thinking about the same question. Fang Yun had left and returned. What about the other Great Scholars?
Jing Liren was respectfully sitting at the head of the crowd.
Zhu Qiyue, who had long sought refuge with Fang Yun, stood directly behind Fang Yun as if he was Fang Yun's bodyguard.
Everyone present already knew that Fang Yun had killed Jing Yuanhu and the others. They were deeply aware of Fang Yun's domineering and powerful strength, so they were either willing to obey or waiting for the other Great Scholars to return. In short, they would never have a conflict with Fang Yun.
Fang Yun slowly glanced at everyone and finally his eyes fell on Jing Liren's face. He then picked up the teacup, gently blew on the tea, and slowly said, "Prepare to choose a new patriarch from the cadet branches." After that, Fang Yun took a sip of fragrant tea.
Fang Yun said it casually, but it was like a bolt from the blue to almost everyone.
The meaning of that sentence was too obvious. Jing Bushou and the other Great Scholars of Haijiang City would never return.
Jing Liren's body trembled violently. Even though he had long been prepared for the failure of the Jing family and even the entire Haijiang City, he still could not accept it.
Some of the direct descendants of the Jing family were dizzy.
However, after the shock, the disciples of the cadet branches of the Jing family forcibly suppressed their joy.
This was because Fang Yun clearly did not want to destroy the Jing family and only allowed the selection of a new patriarch from the cadet branches of the Jing family. This was great news for all the cadet branches. It was like a treasure that had fallen from the sky.
Jing Liren said with a sorrowful expression, "Death is the most important thing. Fang Xusheng, please take us to the place where they died so that we can collect their remains."
"Who said they're dead?" Fang Yun asked in return.
"Ah?" Everyone looked at Fang Yun in surprise.
"Where are they?" Jing Liren was delighted.
"For the sake of the human race, they're silently sacrificing the rest of their lives in a secret place and entrusted everything to me. Including their treasures. "
Fang Yun took out two treasures as he spoke.
One was the Boat of Sand, and the other was the Nine Dragons Writ.
Most of the people present had seen these two treasures before. One represented Jing Bushou, and the other represented Lei Tingyu. However, they did not understand why the two of them had given these treasures to Fang Yun. They just stared at the two treasures in a daze.
Jing Liren could not help but ask, "Did they really give their treasures to you willingly?"
Fang Yun said seriously, "Killing them is as easy as flipping my hand. If I wanted to kill them for their treasures, I would've told them the truth. There's no need to deceive you. Who among you or the entire Ancient Haijiang City is worth deceiving? "
Everyone thought about it but could not find a reason to refute.
Not to mention them, even Raikonghe would've been sealed by the Sage Temple if he had wanted to cause trouble for Fang Yun.
"Then … are they doing well?" Jing Liren asked.
Fang Yun replied honestly, "Not only are they doing well, but they're also working hard, using the last moments of their lives to shine brightly. They're all heroes of the human race. "
Jing Liren felt that Fang Yun's words were a bit strange, but he could not find the reason. He wanted to say something, but he did not know what to say.
Fang Yundao said, "Alright, you don't need to worry. From today onwards, I am the will of the Ancient Haijiang City. Who agrees, who disagrees? "
Everyone lowered their heads, no one saying anything.
Fang Yun nodded, "Very good, I'm very satisfied with all of you. I can say without hesitation that the Ancient Haijiang City is of little value to me, except for the Poison Desert. So, you don't need to worry. After I set down some rules, I won't interfere with the Ancient Haijiang City. Not only that, I'll also find a chance to connect the Ancient Haijiang City with the human race, allowing the Ancient Haijiang City to develop at an unprecedented speed. "
Everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief. They suddenly felt that this Fang Xusheng was not so ruthless.
Fang Yun looked at everyone and said, "Jing Liren, Zhu Qiyue, the two of you stay. The rest of you can leave."
Everyone left one after another, leaving only three people in the large square.
Fang Yundao said, "Lei Tingyu is already building a passage to Saint Origin World. Take me to the starting point of the passage."
