Chapter 273 Leaving the City

Sure enough, as expected by the Shadow Society, the news soon reached the Sitianjian of Gunzhou Prefecture.

"Supervisor, the news of the birth of a magic weapon outside the city is spreading like wildfire. Should we send someone to check it out?" An official from the Sitianjian reported to Fang Yue.

Fang Yue had already come out of retreat at this time. His breath was more stable, and his eyes were shining with brilliance, as if he could see through all the falsehoods.

Hearing the news of the birth of the magic weapon, his eyebrows slightly raised, and his heart was somewhat moved.

But he knew that the news came too suddenly, and the timing was too coincidental. It was very likely that someone did it deliberately.

"Where did this news come from?" Fang Yue asked in a deep voice.

"Reply to the Supervisor, this news came from several villages outside the city. It is said that someone saw the vision of the birth of the magic weapon with their own eyes." The official replied.

Fang Yue sneered in his heart when he heard this. He knew that this was probably a conspiracy of the Shadow Society to lure him out of the city.

But the temptation of the magic weapon was too great for him. If he could get a magic weapon, his "Weapon God Art" would be more perfect and his strength would be greatly increased.

"Send someone to check the situation. If it is true, make a decision." Fang Yue ordered.

"Yes!" The official responded and turned away.

Fang Yue looked at the official's back, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. He knew that the people of the Shadow Society would not give up, and this fight was far from over.

Fang Yue stood alone on the observatory of the Sitianjian, looking up at the starry night sky.

His heart was full of contradictions and struggles.

The magic weapon was the treasure that all practitioners dreamed of. With it, their strength would be greatly increased.

However, he also knew that the Shadow Society would never let him get the magic weapon easily.

"Shadow Society, what are you planning?" Fang Yue whispered to himself, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, a figure quietly appeared on the observatory. It was the official who was sent to check the situation before.

"Supervisor, I have important intelligence to report!" the official said solemnly.

"Speak." Fang Yue turned around and looked at the official.

"I personally went to those villages outside the city to check, and indeed found signs of the advent of the magic weapon."

The official paused, as if to sort out his thoughts, and then continued: "There is a strange atmosphere around those villages, colorful lights appeared in the sky, and the ground was also shaking slightly."

Fang Yue frowned when he heard this.

These signs are indeed very similar to the vision of the advent of the magic weapon, but he also knew that this might be a trap set by the Shadow Society.

"Have you found any traces of the Shadow Society?" Fang Yue asked.

"Reply to the Supervisor, I have not found any traces of the Shadow Society, but they may have been lurking in the dark, waiting for us to take the bait." The official replied.

Fang Yue nodded, and he had already made up his mind.

He knew that even if this was a trap set by the Shadow Society, he could not sit idly by. The temptation of the magic weapon was too great for him, and he had to go and see it himself.

"Pass the order down, strengthen the city defense, and closely monitor the movements of the Shadow Society. At the same time, select a group of elites and follow me out of the city to check the situation." Fang Yue ordered decisively.

The official responded and turned away. Fang Yue looked up at the night sky again, his eyes firm and deep.

Since the other party wanted him to leave the city, then he would go out of the city to see.

Fang Yue led the elite of the Sitianjian and approached the villages where the strange phenomena were rumored to appear cautiously. As the distance got closer, they gradually felt the strange breath, and the colorful light in the sky became more and more dazzling. The whole team remained highly vigilant, fearing that they would be ambushed by the Shadow Society.

"Supervisor, the village where the strange phenomena appeared is ahead." An official pointed to the front and said.

Fang Yue nodded, signaling everyone to move forward carefully. As soon as they entered the village, they felt a powerful force coming from deep underground, and the entire ground was shaking slightly.

"This is..." Fang Yue frowned, and an inexplicable uneasiness rose in his heart.

"Supervisor, look at the sky!" another official exclaimed.

Fang Yue looked up and saw the light in the sky converged into a beam, pointing directly to the center of the village.

At the same time, a strong breath emanated from the beam, which made people feel palpitating.

"What is that? Is there really a magic weapon?"

Fang Yue stared at the beam, his heart full of doubts and expectations.

Although he knew that this might be a conspiracy of the Shadow Society, the attraction of the magic weapon to him was too great for him to resist.

"Pass the order down, let everyone act carefully and pay attention to the movements around." Fang Yue said to the officials around him, "Let's slowly approach the beam and see what's going on."

Everyone approached the beam carefully, only to see it shining on an ancient temple, and the temple was filled with a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

As they approached, the strong sense of power became more and more obvious, which made people feel awe.

"There is indeed the breath of a magic weapon here." Fang Yue felt the breath around him and said in his heart.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the darkness and launched a fierce attack on Fang Yue.

Fang Yue dodged the shadow's attack with a flash of his body, and at the same time saw the true face of the other party - it was Chen Tiangang, a subordinate of Wu Cheng Wang.

Fang Yue stared at Chen Tiangang who suddenly appeared, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that the Shadow Society would actually collude with Wu Cheng Wang, which made the situation more complicated.

"Chen Tiangang, it's you who are behind this. I let you run away last time, but I will kill you this time!" Fang Yue asked coldly.

Chen Tiangang smiled and showed a cunning look on his face: "Fang Yue, this time, you should be the one to die. Do you think I will show up easily if I am not absolutely sure?"

Fang Yue's heart trembled, knowing that since Chen Tiangang dared to show up blatantly, he must have something to rely on.

He glanced around with cold eyes, alert to possible ambushes and traps.

Sure enough, at this time, three more people appeared from the dark and stood behind Chen Tiangang. The aura of these three people was quite strong, and one of them was also an old acquaintance, Wu Tianwang, another subordinate of Wu Chengwang.

The other two people seemed to be covered in black armor, and they looked like warriors of the Shadow Society.

The Blood Dragon Platform was colluding with the Shadow Society! Fang Yue instantly understood that all this was a conspiracy they had carefully planned.

They deliberately released the news of the birth of the magic weapon to lure him here, and then set up an ambush here.

"Fang Yue, today is your death!"

Chen Tiangang grinned, and a sharp blade flashing with cold light suddenly appeared in his hand, rushing towards Fang Yue.

Wu Tianwang and the other two warriors of the Shadow Society followed closely and launched an attack together. Their strength is not weak, and their power is doubled when they join forces.

Fang Yue's eyes condensed, he knew that today's battle would be extremely difficult. But he did not mean to retreat, but aroused the fighting spirit in his heart.

He moved his body and faced the attack of Chen Tiangang and others.

At the same time, the fist in his hand also burst into a brilliant light, turning into a sharp edge, sweeping towards the enemy.

"Boom!"

A loud noise came, and the sword light collided with the sharp blade, bursting out a strong light and shock wave.

The surrounding space was shaken.

Fang Yue's body shook and stepped back a few steps.

Chen Tiangang and others were also shocked and retreated, with surprise on their faces.

They didn't expect Fang Yue's strength to be so strong that he could compete with the four of them without losing.

"Let's go together and kill him!" Chen Tiangang roared and attacked Fang Yue again.

Wu Tianwang and the two warriors of the Shadow Society followed closely behind, and the four of them joined forces to besiege Fang Yue alone.

Their attacks were as dense and fierce as a storm, which made Fang Yue feel more pressured.

However, Fang Yue did not panic.

Relying on his extraordinary strength and combat experience, he looked for flaws and opportunities in the enemy's intensive attacks.

Whenever the enemy showed a flaw, he would launch a counterattack with a thunderous force and inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

For a time, the battlefield was full of sword energy and light. The two sides fought back and forth, and the fight was indistinguishable.

At this moment, Fang Yue suddenly launched a fierce offensive.

His fist drew a dazzling arc in the air and instantly stabbed Chen Tiangang's chest.

Chen Tiangang was shocked and quickly raised his knife to block.

However, Fang Yue's fist was too sharp and directly knocked his sharp blade away. As time went on, the battle became more and more intense.

His figure quickly shuttled across the battlefield, leaving a trail of afterimages that made people dazzled.

Chen Tiangang and others also went all out. They cooperated tacitly and attacked like a tide.

However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not break through Fang Yue's defense.

Whenever their attacks were about to hit Fang Yue, they would always be cleverly avoided by him in an incredible way.

"How is this possible?"

Chen Tiangang was shocked. He thought that with the strength of the four of them, it should be no problem to take down Fang Yue.

However, it now seems that they seem to have greatly underestimated the strength of the other party.

At this moment, Fang Yue suddenly launched a fierce offensive. His fist drew a dazzling arc in the air and instantly slammed into Chen Tiangang's chest.

Chen Tiangang was horrified and raised his sword to block.

However, Fang Yue's fist was too sharp and directly knocked his blade away.

As Chen Tiangang's blade was knocked away, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

He realized that the gap between his strength and Fang Yue's was too big and he was no match for the other party.

However, he did not intend to give up, but quickly retreated and tried to reorganize the offensive with the other three comrades.

But Fang Yue did not give him this opportunity.

His figure followed Chen Tiangang like a shadow, and at the same time, his hands danced, condensing a series of brilliant fists, and launched a fierce attack on Chen Tiangang.

Chen Tiangang dodged left and right, trying his best to avoid Fang Yue's attack.

But Fang Yue's boxing skills were too exquisite, and every punch seemed to be able to penetrate the void, making it impossible for him to dodge.

"Puff!"

Finally, under Fang Yue's continuous attack, Chen Tiangang could no longer hold on, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.

At the same time, Wu Tianwang and the other two Shadow Society warriors also realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Retreat!"

Wu Tianwang shouted and turned to flee first. Seeing this, the other two Shadow Society warriors followed closely behind, turning into two black shadows and disappearing into the night.

~~~~~~~~

After the battle, Fang Yue did not immediately pursue the fleeing enemy, but quickly returned to the center of the village, in front of the ancient temple.

He knew very well that although the Shadow Society and the Blood Dragon Platform had retreated, the fight was far from over.

Fang Yue stood in front of the temple door, took a deep breath, and then slowly opened the heavy door.

Behind the door was a dark space that seemed to swallow up all light.

However, Fang Yue could clearly feel the powerful aura coming from the depths of the temple.

As he went deeper, the powerful aura became more and more obvious, as if there was an invisible force guiding him forward.

Finally, he came to the deepest part of the temple, a mysterious stone chamber.

In the center of the stone chamber, there was a huge sword stuck on the stone wall. The sword's body emitted a bright light, as if it could illuminate the entire stone chamber.

Fang Yue looked at the sword and shook his head slightly: "It is indeed a fake, but this sword is not bad."

He stepped forward and reached out to touch the huge sword.

The moment his fingers touched the blade of the sword, a cold and sharp feeling instantly spread throughout his body, as if it could penetrate his bone marrow.

Fang Yue's heart moved, and he felt that this sword seemed to have a strange connection with himself.

He tried to inject the vitality in his body into the sword body. Suddenly, the light of the sword became more dazzling, as if it was going to illuminate the entire stone chamber.

"What a sword!"

Fang Yue sighed in admiration. He knew that although this sword was not a real magic weapon, it was still a rare treasure.

With this sword in hand, the practice of the God of War can be improved again.

He grasped the hilt tightly and pulled the sword out of the stone wall. Then, he turned around and left the stone room, preparing to return to Si Tianjian.

However, just as he was about to walk out of the temple, a powerful aura suddenly came from outside and enveloped the entire temple in an instant.

Fang Yue was shocked, thinking that the people from the Shadow Society and Blood Dragon Platform were back again.

But soon, he found that the smell was very strange.

Fang Yue walked out of the temple, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the group of armored soldiers in front of him. There was a murderous aura all over them, and they were obviously no ordinary army.

"Who are you?" Fang Yue took a step forward and asked in a deep voice.

One of the sergeants walked out. He took off his helmet, revealing a resolute face. His eyes looked over Fang Yue, then he cupped his fists and saluted:

"I have met Mr. Zhengfang, the prisoner. We are the Royal Imperial Guards and have been ordered to come to meet Mr. Zhengfang."

Fang Yue was slightly startled, but he didn't expect that the group of people in front of him turned out to be the Imperial Imperial Guard. He couldn't help but feel doubts in his heart, why did the imperial imperial army suddenly appear here?

"Answer me? What does this mean?" Fang Yue asked with a frown.

The Forbidden Army general explained: "Back to your lord, the palace lord learned that the Shadow Society and the Blood Dragon Platform have joined forces to deal with you, and specially sent us to assist you. The palace lord has an order to ensure your safety."
