Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1285: Come and Meet Your Doom!
Chapter 1285: Chapter 1285: Come and Meet Your Doom!
The purple-robed elder’s wishful thinking was doomed to be unfulfilled.
Because it wasn’t just him who had his eyes on Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu; there were many other strong figures from the Martial Artists Alliance.
Following the purple-robed elder, more than a dozen Universe Level Experts with similar cultivation levels approached, each with honeyed words, trying to persuade Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu to join their alliances.
"Have you no shame?"
Seeing others vying for the two Martial Dao geniuses, Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu, the purple-robed elder’s friendly smile immediately disappeared, replaced by a face full of rage, he gritted his teeth and said: "There’s an order to everything, these two youths were spotted by me, Wu Tongtian, first, you have no part in this!"
"Just because you saw them first, they’re yours? What kind of logic is that?"
"Exactly! Two Innate Spirit Root Martial Artists, and you, Wu Tongtian, think you can monopolize them? No way!"
"Wu Tongtian, don’t be too eager to show your hospitality, what if these two young people don’t fancy you?"
"Haha, well said! If the two of them refuse to join your Eight Desolations Alliance, let’s see if you, Wu Tongtian, lose face!"
"Alright, let’s not all rush to fight over this, let’s ask the two young people first!"
"That’s right! Let’s see which alliance they wish to join!"
"Let them decide for themselves!"
...
With their Innate Spiritual Roots, Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu became the coveted targets of all the Universe Level Experts present. In order to pull them into their alliances, these experts argued without regard for their status, almost coming to blows over them.
Innate Spirit Root Martial Artists are born with exceptional Martial Dao talent. As long as one is willing to invest enough Cultivation Resources and impart Martial Arts Techniques, they hold the potential to reach the pinnacle of the Martial Dao in this world and become top-tier experts.
Even the least exceptional Innate Spirit Root Martial Artists will not achieve little on the path of Martial Dao. Either they will become leaders or high-ranking individuals in prominent Sects and Clans, or they will become renowned and respected loose cultivator experts in their own right.
Therefore, for any Sect, Clan, or loose cultivator expert, an Innate Spirit Root Martial Artist holds tremendous allure.
If an Innate Spirit Root Martial Artist joins a Sect or Clan, they are destined to become its pillar of strength.
Should an Innate Spirit Root Martial Artist become the disciple of an Individual Cultivation Martial Artist, they have the potential to surpass their master.
Some powerful Sects and Clans dispatch a large number of disciples every year to gain experience in various regions of the True Martial Realm and also to seek out Martial Artists with Innate Spiritual Roots. Once discovered, they will do everything in their power to recruit them into their Sect or Clan.
Some mighty Individual Cultivation Martial Artists also roam the lands of the True Martial Realm year-round, searching for Innate Spirit Root Martial Artists to pass on their cultivation techniques and Martial Arts.
However, Innate Spirit Root Martial Artists are an extremely rare occurrence, hard to come by even among millions of Martial Artists.
It is exactly for this reason that the appearance of Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu as loose cultivator Martial Artists caused quite a stir among the Universe Level Experts present.
Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu, looking at the eager gazes cast their way from all around, exchanged a glance and found it amusing.
In Fang Bai’s opinion, his mind harbored countless Martial Arts Techniques from his previous life, and he was confident in finding the necessary Cultivation Resources. No Sect or Clan in this world could assist him on his Martial Dao journey.
As for Xia Chenyu, with Fang Bai acting as her "Mentor" and imparting his teachings, she had no regard for the allure of any sects or individual cultivation martial artists.
Amid the boisterous clamoring of a group of Universe Level experts surrounding them and tossing out various enticing offers for allegiance, both Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu showed smiles, unmoved.
"This kid looks somehow familiar..."
At the periphery of the crowd, a tall and thin martial artist gazed at Fang Bai for a few moments, muttering to himself, and then suddenly felt a stirring within his heart. He quickly drew a beast skin parchment from his space ring and spread it out.
On the beast skin was a portrait of a person. The tall and thin martial artist looked from the portrait to Fang Bai, comparing carefully, and then his eyes suddenly brightened as he pointed at Fang Bai and shouted excitedly: "It’s Fang Bai! He is Fang Bai! The Tianji Sect has offered a bounty of ten million high-quality Essence Stones for his head!"
As his voice carried, the Universe Level Martial Artists who had been surrounding Fang Bai were taken aback, while the martial artists watching from the outside burst into an uproar.
"So it’s you, Fang Bai!"
One of the Universe Level experts surrounding Fang Bai, who was none other than one of the Tianji Sect Elders, Mao Zhen, had been too preoccupied competing with other Universe Level experts to recruit talent and hadn’t recognized that the young martial artist in front of him was the very murderer the sect wanted to kill on sight. When he heard someone shout the name "Fang Bai" and recalled the portrait of Fang Bai he had seen in the sect, suddenly everything clicked.
"Come and meet your end!"
Mao Zhen, recalling how he had just debased himself persuading someone who turned out to be the sect’s arch-enemy, was overcome with both shame and rage. With a thunderous shout, he unleashed his divine might and struck out towards Fang Bai with a palm.
At the same time, on a nearby hill where over a hundred Tianji Sect disciples were gathered, the name "Fang Bai" caused them to flash looks of ferocity. They each brought out their spiritual artifacts and sped towards the commotion.
These Tianji Sect disciples, led by Mao Zhen and including four stewards, several direct disciples, several core disciples, and nearly a hundred inner court disciples, may not have been numerous, but their collective strength ranked them among the top tier within the nearly a thousand-member Martial Artists Alliance, not to be underestimated.
The disciples of the Tianji Sect also came for the Essence Stone Mine, never expecting to encounter Fang Bai here.
The ten-million-Essence Stone bounty on Fang Bai was personally issued by the Sect Master of the Tianji Sect, Xuan Tianji. Whoever could kill Fang Bai stood a chance to claim this reward, and the disciples of the Tianji Sect were no exception.
Therefore, upon seeing Fang Bai, the hundred-plus Tianji Sect disciples became as excited as if they were injected with chicken blood, howling and swinging their spiritual artifacts as they charged down the hill towards Fang Bai.
At this moment, in the eyes of these Tianji Sect disciples, Fang Bai was fish on the chopping board, awaiting their butchery.
Meanwhile, the other Universe Level experts surrounding Fang Bai, upon hearing the name "Fang Bai," were merely stunned for a moment before regaining their composure.
"Mao Zhen, hold your hand!"
"This place is not your Tianji Sect’s territory!"
"If you want to kill Fang Bai, first see if we from the ’Eight Desolations Alliance’ agree!"
"Fang Bai, have no fear, if you are willing to join the ’United Heart Alliance’, we will protect you!"
"We from the ’Benevolence and Righteousness Alliance’ are willing to provide you with shelter!"
As Mao Zhen made his move against Fang Bai, five Universe Level experts intervened to stop him, among them was Wu Tongtian, the master in the purple robe and the impromptu leader of the "Eight Desolations Alliance".
For Wu Tongtian and the other four Universe Level Martial Artists, the value of Fang Bai, a Martial Dao genius, far exceeded ten million high-quality Essence Stones. Their intervention was aimed at gaining the favor of Fang Bai and the young female martial artist with the Innate Spiritual Root beside him, in hopes of improving the chance to recruit them into their alliance.
As for the other Universe Level experts, they chose not to support either side, stepping back to watch from a distance.
