She had just witnessed the power of Fang Chen's tribulation.
In front of Fang Chen, she didn't need to pretend at all. She knew that her only chance to survive was to use the life of the girl in front of her to threaten this powerful cultivator.
"hehe......."
Fang Chen sneered. "You think you can threaten me? You're too naive."
After Fang Chen finished speaking, his divine sense instantly left his body, enveloped Yuan Yao, and entered her sea of consciousness.
A tall and imposing figure appeared in Yuan Yao's sea of consciousness.
Looking at the madwoman hiding in Yuan Yao's sea of consciousness, Fang Chen's divine sense turned cold. With a wave of his hand, he unleashed the Great Evolution Soul Technique, and in an instant, the old hag's nascent soul was sucked into his palm.
"Today, none of the Nascent Soul cultivators who participated in the attack on me will escape."
Fang Chen looked at the old hag as if she were a dead person.
"Senior...please forgive me..."
The old hag's face showed fear. "Senior, this old woman didn't mean to do anything to you..."
Fang Chen ignored the old hag's struggles, activated the Great Evolution Soul Technique, and instantly devoured her nascent soul, turning it into nourishment to increase his own soul.
Fang Chen's divine sense devoured the madwoman's nascent soul, swept over Yuan Yao's body, and after confirming that there were no remnants, returned to his main body.
Three breaths later.
Yuan Yao opened her eyes.
"Thank you so much, Senior Fang... for saving me... otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable..."
Yuan Yao curtsied to Fang Chen and said gratefully.
Recalling the terrifying moment just now, her face paled, but then she seemed to remember something, and her pretty face turned as red as a sheet of red cloth.
"It's nothing, just a small favor."
Fang Chen avoided mentioning the matter of his divine sense entering her body earlier, and changed the subject. "How did you end up here? It's impossible for you to leave the Void Heaven Palace unscathed without being noticed. Aren't you afraid of being captured?"
"It would be a lie to say I'm not afraid."
Yuan Yao answered honestly, “I was in the main square of the Star Palace when I heard that you were in seclusion here, so I wanted to come and tell you to take shelter. However, my cultivation level is too low, and by the time I arrived, they had already arrived.”
"We've only met by chance, why would you care about my safety?" Fang Chen asked, somewhat surprised.
He didn't believe that Yuan Yao had feelings for him.
"I don't want to owe you a favor, so..."
Yuan Yao lowered her head; she didn't want to owe anyone a favor.
She never expected that she would be saved by her senior again, and suddenly owe two people a favor.
"You're so thoughtful."
Fang Chen's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes flashed as he asked, "What are your plans next? Are you going to leave here or return to the Chaotic Star Sea?"
"........"
Yuan Yao shook her head. Just now, a wave of purple lightning had caused many Nascent Soul cultivators to escape from here.
She just saw it; at least seven or eight Nascent Soul cultivators' Nascent Souls escaped.
She feared she would be possessed again.
"Don't worry, no Nascent Soul cultivator within a radius of ten thousand miles can escape. I will come looking for them one by one," Fang Chen said with a smile.
He knew what Yuan Yao was worried about.
“If you’re still worried, come with me to the Star Palace. I’ll be staying here for a while,” Fang Chen said after thinking for a moment.
Here, he still needs to find Yaoyue.
He had thought about it.
When Yaoyue appeared, it was in Jiayuan City.
No matter what, she's still in the human realm.
Therefore, in order to expand the search efforts, Fang Chen decided to take control of a large force and have everyone help with the search.
"Thank you very much, Brother Fang."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao gave Fang Chen a charming smile, a smile that could launch a thousand ships.
Fang Chen's heart fluttered at the sight.
......
With a wave of his hand, Fang Chen summoned a flying boat, which was brought by the Lord of the Star Palace and had now become Fang Chen's spoils of war.
The flying boat grew longer as it faced the wind, eventually reaching a size of several tens of feet.
Fang Chen and Yuan Yao stood on the flying boat, their robes fluttering in the wind.
"The path of cultivation is truly arduous and rugged without a powerful backer. Brother Fang is incredibly strong, but..."
Yuan Yao looked at Fang Chen's tall and straight figure, her eyes flashing.
