Parting

Who would have thought that the mastermind behind the assassination attempt was Xue Ye?

Fang Xuan's jaw clenched, and a flicker of betrayal iced his eyes. It didn't feel good to be assassinated by his father. Even though Xue Ye wasn't his father, he had to make a trip to the Heaven Dou Empire in the future to seek justice for himself.

"Haha, Fang Xuan, there's no need to show such a scary expression. Compared to me, you're nothing."

Qian Renxue laughed coldly. She seemed to be reminiscing, and her eyes were filled with hatred. She said quietly, "When I was young, I was almost assassinated by my mother countless times. I can't forget that killing intent. That was true cruelty and cold-bloodedness. At the very least, Xue Ye treated you well. As for me,"

Qian Renxue's tone was very relaxed when she said this, but her heart was weighty. Her childhood was a nightmare. To Bibi Dong, she was an extra. She would have died long ago without her grandfather's protection. She would have died at the hands of her mother.

Qian Renxue sighed when she thought of this. Her expression was a little melancholic.

"Alright, your childhood was worse than mine. You're awesome!"

Fang Xuan gave Qian Renxue a thumbs up, and she choked on her words. Was it okay to compare their misery in public? We were talking about something severe!

However, Fang Xuan owed Dugu Bo a huge favor. If Dugu Bo hadn't crippled his Spirit power and let him go, he would have died without a doubt. He would return this favor if he had the chance.

The assassination attempts from the Heaven Dou Empire were finally over, but his injuries hadn't recovered. He was severely injured, and he wouldn't be able to use his strength to fight without resting for at least half a month.

However, during their escape, Fang Xuan and Qian Renxue had already left the territory of the Star Luo Empire and arrived at a vast expanse of wilderness. If one were to look carefully, one would see a majestic city at the end of the wilderness, as if it were a mirage. It was the Spirit City!

After traveling for half a month, they finally saw the border of Spirit City. Based on the distance, it would take at most a day to leave the wilderness and reach Spirit City.

"Alright, we're not far from Spirit City. Go home!" Fang Xuan said to Qian Renxue as he stood on a hill and pointed at the faintly discernible majestic city ahead.

Fang Xuan had already fulfilled his promise to send her home. It was time for them to part ways. He knew this was the most stupid thing that he, who had always been wise and powerful, had done.

Of course, Qian Renxue had noticed the Spirit City in the distance. She couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. She would be safe if she returned to the Spirit City. With the help of the power of the Spirit Hall and the Angel God's Trial, she believed it wouldn't take long for her to recover her strength. Moreover, the decades of experience in the Abyss of Desire had greatly improved her state of mind. She felt that she was close to taking that step.

However, at this time, she didn't run to Spirit City immediately. Instead, she looked at Fang Xuan with a complicated expression and asked, "What about you?"

"Me? Of course, I will find a safe place to hide and slowly recuperate. Do you want me to go to Spirit Hall for a tour and taste the iron whips?" Fang Xuan said lightly.

"Fang Xuan, come back to Spirit City with me. As long as I'm here, no one will hurt you!"

Qian Renxue revealed a dignified expression, her hands behind her back. Although she hadn't recovered her cultivation, a kind of supreme majesty permeated the air like a queen who ruled the world.

'Is she going to keep me as a kept man?!'

Fang Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes. He spread his hands at Qian Renxue and said, "Not interested."

Qian Renxue frowned, obviously dissatisfied with this answer. She stared at Fang Xuan without blinking and said thoughtfully, "Join hands with me. When the Spirit Hall unifies the Douluo Continent, you will be second only to me and above all!"

"I remember that I used to be the one above…" Fang Xuan muttered.

"You… bastard!" Qian Renxue glared at Fang Xuan fiercely. With her intelligence, how could she not understand the ambiguity in Fang Xuan's words? She remembered that in the Illusory Realm, this guy bullied her a lot!

Fang Xuan had to return to Spirit Hall with Qian Renxue. He had his path to walk. Qian Renxue knew this, so she didn't force him. She just sighed slightly.

"I'm leaving… The next time we meet, we'll be enemies!"

Gradually, Qian Renxue took a deep breath. Her eyes returned to their usual indifference. Her face was as calm, and it was as if she didn't care about anything. She looked deeply at Fang Xuan, then turned and left without hesitation.

Fang Xuan didn't say anything as he watched the beautiful figure leave. After a long time, he let out a long sigh. He also turned and left, strolling in the opposite direction of the Martial Spirit Palace.

…

Time flew by, and soon, a month had passed.

During this time, Fang Xuan stayed in the cave in the forest. He meditated every day, recuperated, and accumulated Spirit power. His body was rapidly recovering. He had previously consumed many immortal herbs, so his body was strong.

His body's quality was far better than that of an ordinary person. Even without Immortal Begonia's healing ability, he only took half a month to recover from his injuries, and his body was as good as it was new.

Fang Xuan's Spirit power has recovered to that of a Rank 55 Spirit King. His spiritual power is also full. He can protect himself and is no longer as powerless as before.

After recuperating, he set out for Lost Town. He wanted to go to Slaughter City the last time, but he didn't expect to be blocked by Qian Renxue at the door, which delayed him for more than a year.

He sent Qian Renxue home this time so no one would block the door again.

However, the location of the Lost Town took a lot of work to find. Even with his previous experience, Fang Xuan spent more than half a month before finally finding the location of the Lost Town.

Slaughter City was a cradle for increasing one's strength. This was even more so for Fang Xuan, who could plunder power through slaughter. He wanted to recover his full strength as soon as possible in this cradle of slaughter and then carry out a comprehensive upgrade!

Looking at the ancient town before him, Fang Xuan's lips curled slightly. He calmly walked into the Lost Town.

"Slaughter City, I'm coming!"
