nFanshu City was not far from the Gu Immortal Sect, it was a moderate distance away.

nIf he took a carriage, it would take two days. It was in the opposite direction of Yunding City.

nThe second time he left the mountain, Fang Yuan did not know where the Gu slave was staying. He did not have time to go home to take a look, so he headed straight for Fanshu City.

nThe journey was tiring.

nFang Yuan got off at the city gate.

nAfter standing for a while, a soldier came up to him, asking respectfully,

"May I ask, where are you from?

"

n

"Gu Immortal Sect.

"

n

"So you are a senior from the Gu Immortal Sect. The vice city lord has already set up a banquet in the residence to entertain everyone.

"

n

"Lead the way.

"

n

"Yes!

"

nFollowing the soldier, they walked through the city, and before long, they stopped in front of a large residence.

n

"This is the vice city lord's manor. Lord is receiving guests in the hall, please go ahead.

"

nSaying so, the soldier turned around and left.

nFang Yuan entered the manor.

nA servant came forward to guide him, asking about his background.

nArriving at the hall, the servant stood still and said loudly,

"The Gu Immortal Sect's honored guest has arrived!

"

nAt this moment, there were already many people gathered in the hall. They were sitting on both sides of the hall, chatting and drinking tea with the vice city lord.

nThere was a beautiful woman sitting next to the vice city lord. She should be the target in this mission.

nFollowing the servant shout, everyone's gaze landed on Fang Yuan.

nFang Yuan looked straight ahead, he walked forward and cupped his fists at the vice city lord.

"Gu Immortal Sect's inner sect disciple, Fang Yuan, greets the vice city lord.

"

n

"Haha, just in time.

"

nThe vice city lord was a rough man with a scar on his face. Seeing that Fang Yuan did not mind, he smiled.

"Please take a seat!

"

nFang Yuan looked around, and there were not many empty seats left. He found a seat near Xu Zhiyu and sat down.

nDing, your Cloud Shadow Gu has absorbed the delicate fragrance of a virgin, gaining 1% of cultivation progress!

nFang Yuan was satisfied. Fortunately, Xu Zhiyu was also a virgin, or else this mission would drag down the cultivation progress of the Cloud Shadow Gu by quite a lot.

n

"Butler He, which sect is still not here?

" The vice city lord tilted his head and asked a middle-aged man beside him.

n

"A few large sects nearby have arrived, only a few small sects in the more remote areas have not sent anyone. Perhaps they are still on their way.

"

n

"Then let's not bother about them.

"

nThe vice city lord waved his hand.

"Come, let's give a welcome gift to all the elites of the sects.

"

n

"Yes.

"

nButler He walked to the back hall. Not long after, he came out with a tray, on which were crystal clear Gu worm eggs.

n

"These are Sound Transmission Gu, Bronze grade, one for each person. After hatching, it can be used to send messages to people in a certain range. If there is any unusual activity, everyone can use this to communicate.

"

nHearing the butler's explanation, everyone could not help but exclaim in admiration.

nAs expected of a rich family, they were able to use Bronze grade Gu worms.

nFang Yuan also got one. He did not stand on ceremony and directly threw it into his acupoints to hatch it.

nThis time, nothing went wrong. The Sound Transmission Gu was very honest, it did not need any special requirements to cultivate diligently.

nVery quickly, it was raised to rank one and obtained a voice transmission skill.

nCurrently, the range was limited to one thousand meters. If Fang Yuan fed it liquid spiritual essence, he could increase the range by five times, which was five thousand meters.

nThe people present were all disciples of the various sects that received a lot of attention, so their strength was naturally not weak. They had also unlocked the ability of the Sound Transmission Gu one after another.

nAfter experiencing the convenience of the Sound Transmission Gu, everyone naturally gave Vice City Lord Xu a round of praise.

nVice City Lord Xu accepted it calmly and cupped his hands towards everyone.

n

"Xu Zhiyu is my only child, my daughter's safety depends on everyone.

"

nEveryone agreed.

n

"Of course, if anything happens, we will definitely work together to kill that evil rapist! We won't give him a chance!

"

n

"Don't worry, Vice City Lord, I heard that the rapist is only at the first layer of the Enlightenment Realm. I have been at the second layer for a long time, so I can take him down by myself!

"

nThe others also reported their strength. Most of them were at the first or second layer of the Enlightenment Realm. Some of them had already cultivated to the third layer and were very powerful.

nOnly Fang Yuan sat in his seat silently and closed his eyes to rest.

nHe was too lazy to talk about meaningless topics with these people.

nAt this time, someone said,

"We come from different sects. If there's no one leading us, we're probably no different from a pile of loose sand. It will be very easy for the thief to take advantage of us. Why don't we elect someone among us to order everyone to take action?

"

n

"I agree.

"

n

"I agree too.

"

nVice City Lord Xu saw this and asked,

"Since that is the case, how about the strongest person be the leader?

"

nEveryone's gaze turned to the Gu master who said he was at the third layer of the Enlightenment Realm.

nThat person immediately declined:

"I only know cultivation. I don't know these things, so you can change your candidate.

"

nThus, they turned to the next target.

nHe was only at the second layer of the Enlightenment Realm. There were at least five people who were on the same layer as him, so there were naturally people who were not convinced.

nThey fought for a long time, but there was no result.

nSomeone suddenly spoke.

n

"Brother Fang did not speak earlier. The Gu Immortal Sect is a famous sect, they must have sent out a disciple at the fourth layer of the Enlightenment Realm, right?

"

nGu masters did not have any spirit essence fluctuations when they did not attack. They looked like normal people, and no matter their cultivation level, others could not tell their strength.

n

"You guessed wrong.

" Fang Yuan said slowly,

"I am at Foundation Establishment.

"

n

"Pfft, Foundation Establishment?

"

nA burly man beside him even spat out the tea he had just drunk, laughing loudly, but when he thought of the might of Gu Immortal Sect, he suppressed his laughter.

nThe others could not help but laugh, but they did not dare to laugh.

nFang Yuan did not say anything, and he continued to close his eyes and rest.

nIt was still Vice City Lord Xu who stepped in to mediate the situation.

n

"Brother Fang's aura is powerful. The Gu worms he raises must have their own unique characteristics. If a leader is not chosen, then this matter will be put to rest for now.

"

n

"This humble one has already set up a banquet in the back hall as a welcome party. Everyone can return to their rooms to rest for now and speak freely again at night.

"

n

"If you have any needs, you can point them out at any time. I will do my best to satisfy you all.

"

nEveryone could tell that these were just polite words. They naturally did not ask for anything, and left one by one.

nFang Yuan waited for them to leave. Seeing that Xu Zhiyu and Vice City Lord Xu were about to leave, he went forward to speak.

n

"Vice City Lord Xu, I have a favor to ask of you.

"

n

"Brother Fang, please speak.

" Vice City Lord Xu knew that Fang Yuan's cultivation level was not high, but since he was from the Gu Immortal Sect, he was still polite.

n

"Can you let me stay near Miss Xu's room?

"

n

"This...

"

nVice City Lord Xu frowned. He was unhappy.

nFang Yuan cupped his hands:

"I only want to keep an eye on Miss Xu's surroundings, and I have no other intentions.

"

n

"Brother Fang, you are too serious. You are from a famous sect, I will not doubt you.

"

nSaying so, Vice City Lord Xu looked at the housekeeper:

"Go, bring some people to clean up the courtyard next to Miss Xu, let the honored guest stay there.

"

n

"Yes.

"

nThe Butler nodded and looked at Fang Yuan..

"Please follow me.

"
