Secular Immortal of the Nine Realms Chapter 78: Brother, If I May Ask, How’s the Battle Outside Going?

“Here, let’s have a drink. Great Xia’s days will be numbered after today, but you need not fear. Guhe and Yizhou have always been our friends, so you won’t be affected by this massacre. Any businesses you have a stake in won’t be affected either!”

While the soldiers outside were fighting a tragic battle, one of the manors in Great Xia’s capital was brilliantly lit with the aroma of alcohol wafting in the air. A Longdu scholar merrily stood up and raised his wine cup.

Joining him were powerful merchants from Guhe and Yizhou in the capital, such as Long Huixin. The crowd exchanged looks before toasting with bright smiles.

Long Huixin downed her wine before asking, “How does Longdu intend to deal with the Fang Manor?”

“The Fang Manor is our very first assassination target. Even Great Xia’s emperor is ranked behind them. One of our experts paid the Fang Manor a visit shortly after the attack began,” the Longdu scholar replied gleefully.

Long Huixin’s eyes lit up, but that was quickly replaced by a frown. “No matter what, Fang Chen is still a Ki Manifestation martial artist. It’s unlikely that your expert is a match for him.”

“Hahaha!” The Longdu scholar burst into laughter. Seeing the confused looks around him, he cheerily explained, “Fang Chen is trapped on the Jade Fairy Boat. He doesn’t have the energy to care about anything else.”

“You trapped Fang Chen?!”

The crowd was bewildered.

Long Huixin found this matter hard to believe. “How is that possible?”

“What’s impossible about it? With our Marquess Xianyu personally making a move here, Fang Chen need not dream of pulling anything. Marquess Xianyu has reached Ki Manifestation level five years ago, and he has further made a breakthrough to mid Ki Manifestation level since,” the Longdu scholar replied with a smile.

“Ahh…”

The crowd gasped in shock. A hint of fear could be seen reflected in their eyes.

The fact that Longdu had hidden this crucial information didn’t bode well for Guhe and Yizhou. The stronger Longdu was, the greater the imbalance among them.
