Secular Immortal of the Nine Realms Chapter 8: As Cheap as Weed

Fang Chen slowly walked toward the Palace of Great Peace with closed eyes, seemingly unaware of the hundred Wolf Army’s soldiers glaring at him.

“He’s really blind!” one of the soldiers murmured.

It felt like the times had really changed, seeing their most feared enemy on the battlefield become a blind cripple. But above that, it deepened their admiration for the First Wolf Marshall.

So what if you became a War God at a young age? In the end, you still fell in defeat to our First Wolf Marshall! Our First Wolf Marshall is still the greatest of all!

Meanwhile, the emperor, Celestial Xiao, and the officials had walked to the entrance of the Palace of Great Peace. The empress, who had maintained an impassive face thus far, saw Fang Chen’s skinny silhouette, and a pained frown flashed across her face.

“He looks the same in the paintings, just less imposing than before.” Celestial Xiao assessed Fang Chen before revealing a smile. “I don’t see anything special, though I’ll concede he does look better than the men I had.”
