Fang Chen

Even though Ye Tian Yun suppressed his cultivation to only the 9th Level Of Qi Refining, he had been very confident in concealing himself. After one has tempered their Qi, they would be able to completely control their aura. If they stopped emitting their aura, it'd be very hard for people to sense them.

At the very least, it should be impossible for a cultivator at the 6th Level Of Qi Refining Realm to discover Ye Tian Yun.

Seeing that he had been discovered, Ye Tian Yun felt a slight headache. However, he didn't continue to stay silent, or did he decide to escape. Instead, he chose to walk out in an open manner as he asked indifferently, "How did you discover me?"

The middle-aged man seemed slightly dumbstruck. Usually, these who had been discovered tend to seem flustered or bear killing intent. However, the expression of the young man before him was exceedingly calm. This caused him to feel amazed.

Soon after, the middle-aged man came to his senses. His face subconsciously displayed a sense of pride, "I am one of the best scouts out there in the Fang Clan, although my skill's rank isn't very high, it has the ability to sense everything within the circumference of ten meters. Your method of concealing yourself is fascinating and if you weren't within the range of my ability, then it'd definitely be impossible for me to discover you."

Ye Tian Yun felt surprised. He hadn't foreseen this.

There were many different kinds of cultivation techniques and an infinite number of them. Although there is clear segregation between these skills, their abilities are different.

'It seems like I will need to be more cautious in the future. I definitely can't underestimate everyone because of my cultivation,' thought Ye Tian Yun to himself. This matter could be considered as a warning.

At this moment, Fang Chen's angry voice resounded, "Who!? Who was following this young master!?"

Under the escort of the other two middle-aged burly men, Fang Chen promptly rushed over. After seeing Ye Tian Yun's figure, Fang Chen's originally angry expression immediately changed into one of surprise and then back to the angry face. This was due to the fact that he hadn't expected to really meet someone here. He may now have to change his objectives and steps he had thought of when he started his journey.

At this moment, the three burly men swiftly surrounded Ye Tian Yun with brimming killing intent. If Ye Tian Yun were to make the slightest movement, the trio would launch a devastating attack in a blink of an eye.

"Who are you? And why are you following us?" Fang Chen thought he could use this opportunity for his gains. However, he was also filled with suspicion as he enquired, "You don't seem to be a disciple of the Gracious Sword Sect, why are you here in the Gracious Mountain Range? The sect isn't admitting any new disciples now, you could very well be a spy."

'What the hell is this guy thinking?' Ye Tian Yun was annoyed, however, he controlled his emotions and replied, "Senior Brother, I am Yun Tian, I am a son of a merchant from the Crimson Bay City of the Xin Kingdom. I came here with our caravan which was supposed to deliver some supplies to the sect however we were ambushed by bandits just before we could even enter the Gracious Mountain Range, I somehow survived the slaughter and escaped for my life. However, I got lost in here and it has been about a month since the incident and I could only survive because of decent cultivation and hunting spirit beasts."

The expressions of the three middle-aged burly men gradually turned into a bit of surprise. Not because of Ye Tian Yun's story but for other reasons, the bandits. One must know that within the hundred miles of the Gracious Sword Sect, the sect had absolute hegemony. From resources, trades to assassinations and ambushes, everything was under the control of the sect.

"Young master, I think it is most probably one of the opposing sects or someone from the inner circle of the sect who did this. Normal bandits wouldn't dare to touch the sect's supplies." One of the middle-aged men put forward his opinion.

"Maybe you're right but we can't remove the possibility of this guy lying to get into the sect. What if he turned out to be a spy? In fact, what I really think is he is indeed a spy." Fang Chen said with his eyes closed and chin raised. He had already started brewing the trap.

"Hm, I agree with the young master's thoughts." The last of the three men chimed in.

"I am no spy, young master. And I only wish to get out of this mountain range." Ye Tian Yun played along with their antics.

"Well, that is what any spy would say. Ah Wan, sever his limbs, let's bring him to the sect." Fang Chen replied with no change in his tone as if he controlled the life and death of everyone present at the scene.

"Yes, Young Master." Ah Wan, the man who earlier agreed with Fang Chen's thoughts moved ahead and took hold of his sword.

With the 6th Level Of Qi Refining Realm cultivation, he had his own conviction. And the fact that he didn't even feel an ounce of Qi from his opponent, he felt even more confident.

Ye Tian Yun's smirked lightly. He had quite expected that this Fang Chen would actually be arrogant to this degree. If he felt that someone is a threat to his plans, he will do his best to eliminate that person as soon as possible. Or how else will he survive as the bastard son of the Gracious Sword Sect's Sect Leader

Ah Wan showed no hesitation, he only felt pity for him. He charged toward Ye Tian Yun and simultaneously unleashed a sword attack. He was already accustomed to this kind of order from Fang Chen. The three men had no idea how many limbs they had already severed, and the Dantians they had destroyed under Fang Chen's command.

Fang Chen watched this scene in a mocking manner. Everything had worked according to his plan, and now he was going to get rid of some pests, the real spies who have been monitoring him.
