Chapter 487: 487

Nangong Wan felt somewhat regretful that she did not get to taste Bu Fang’s Stinky Tofu . After she had tasted the dish for the first time, her attitude toward it changed from disgust to fondness; she understood how marvelous the dish’s charm was .

After Bu Fang and Nangong Wan left the southern region of the city, they rode a spirit beast carriage back to the Cloud Mist Restaurant .

The area surrounding the restaurant was still as messy as before, but a large number of people, who had been sent by the Nangong Family, could be seen repairing the buildings .

A long stream of people passed through the area, leaving the area bustling with activity and nose .

After accompanying Bu Fang back to his restaurant, Nangong Wan rode the spirit beast carriage back to her home . Her elixir store had also been destroyed, and so this was a matter she had no plans to let go of .

She had to find the culprit and teach him a lesson .

Enraged women were the most terrifying creatures . The current Nangong Wan seemed frightening .

However, all of this had nothing to do with Bu Fang .

As soon as he returned to his store, he opened for business .

There were fewer customers today . This was probably because the surrounding elixir stores had been destroyed .

However, Bu Fang didn’t dislike being idle; he pulled a chair to the front of the store and lay on it . As the warm rays of sunlight cascaded down on his relaxed figure, he couldn’t help feeling sleepy .

Inside the store, Nethery kept pacing back and forth, barefooted; she seemed really bored .

She took a leaf from Bu Fang’s book and also pulled a chair to the entrance of the store, then she sat down . However, she did not sit for too long before fleeing the area in a hurry because she could not bear the sunlight .

She went over to Lord Dog and sat cross-legged beside it, and began to survey her surrounding with a blank expression on her face .

. . . .

In the Nangong Family’s courtyard, Nangong Wuque stood with his hands clasped behind his back and a gloomy expression on his face .

“What did you find? Who was behind yesterday’s matter?” He asked in a dignified tone of voice .

“Patriarch, I already investigated . It should have been someone from the Zhang Family behind it . Just the day before, the whereabouts of the Zhang Family’s Commander, Zhang He, was unknown, and he still hasn’t returned, yet . The Zhang Family are furious, but they still chose to keep the matter away from the public, which seems really fishy,” said an elder who had furrowed his brows .

Nangong Wuque nodded at the elder and began to pace around . Then, he squinted his eyes and said, “It really is fishy . If one of their commanders disappeared, the Zhang Family, with their temper, should have already sent out all their personnel to comb the entire city . However, they did not make any moves whatsoever . Is this because they have something to hide, making them unable to dare make a move?”

“However, what could be behind Zhang He’s disappearance? Was he killed?” the elder asked in confusion .

Nangong Wuque suddenly thought of something; he had just recalled seeing Bu Fang’s restaurant intact, without any damage whatsoever . Hence, Zhang He might have been killed by someone from the restaurant .

If Zhang He had really attempted to destroy the restaurant like he destroyed the elixir stores, he would, most definitely, have incited the rage of one of the restaurant’s experts . Who in that restaurant was capable of killing Zhang He silently? Other than that terrifying woman, who else could it be . . .

As Nangong Wuque pondered about this, he couldn’t help shuddering .

“Prepare a spirit beast carriage for me; I will take a trip to the Zhang Family . We won’t take such losses sitting down; we must retaliate . “

The elder was taken aback by Nangong Wuque’s declaration and turned to stare at him with a blank expression .

Fine . It seemed that Nangong Wuque had become more reliable .

. . . .

The Heavenly Mist City’s teleportation array was bustling with noise and activity once again, as many experts stepped out of the array .

After each teleportation, a great number of people would step out of the array .

The increase in the number of people wasn’t just because of the teleportation array; there was an innumerable amount of giant warships rushing into the city, and these warships were filled with experts from various big factions .

There was also a large number of alchemists coming into the city . These alchemists came from the Pill Palace’s other two Pill Cities, Heavenly Pill City, and Heavenly Shine City .

The reason behind the large influx of people was the Magical Hand Conference, which was to be held, this time, in the Heavenly Mist City .

From amongst the lot of ships, there was a warship that had the words “Mystery Capital House” inscribed on it . The Mystery Capital House was one of Heavenly Pill City’s top-notch elixir stores—an existence tantamount to the Heavenly Mist City’s Drifting Cloud House .

Every top-notch elixir store had a top-notch alchemist behind it .

There was a Four Clouds Alchemist in the Mystery Capital House’s warship . He was one of the appraisers for this Magical Hand Conference .

The Heavenly Shine City’s Dazzling Sun House’s warship also arrived .

Including the prestigious alchemists arriving from the Heavenly Pill City and Heavenly Shine City, one could see that these alchemists were all grand and imposing .

The Heavenly Mist City was the weakest Pill City because it had only one Four Clouds Alchemist .

Four of the five Four Cloud Alchemist appraisers present were from Heavenly Pill City and Heavenly Shine City .

The Heavenly Mist City’s lord personally came over to welcome them and invite them to his palace . The city bustled with activity and noise when these prestigious alchemists arrived .

Buzz . . .

A radiant glow flickered in teleportation array as an expert clad in a black robe stepped out of it . This expert carried a bronze coffin on his back; this coffin was emitting an extremely eerie aura .

“My two younger brothers died in the Heavenly Mist City’s Secret Realm, didn’t they? I heard that a lot of people manage to come back alive . Seeing as the members of my Puppet Sect died, why do these people get to keep their lives?”

The man raised his head, and an awe-inspiring glow flickered within his eyes, which were hidden by the hood of the black robe .

Experts from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion also emerged from the teleportation array . Xiao Changyun’s death was a grave blow to them because his status was really high; thus, they sent someone to investigate his death .

This wasn’t just the case for Wind and Thunder Pavilion . The factions who lost disciples in the Secret Realm arrived in the Heavenly Mist City for revenge, and because of this, they sent even more powerful disciples .

A man from the Grand Barren Sect, who was carrying an enormous sword on his back, emerged from the teleportation array as well . He was Ximen Xuan, the Tyrant Demonic Sword of the Grand Barren Sect’s Ten Grand Heirs of Heaven ranking .

He was a swordsman who wielded a heavy sword which was formed by his sword intent . He was one of three most outstanding disciples of the Grand Barren Sect’s younger generation . His cultivation was extremely powerful; he had already broken through three Supreme Being’s shackles .

The experts from the Ancient Shura City also arrived .

Misha could be seen respectfully standing beside a youth . This youth had a high and noble status . He was one of the direct descendants of the Ancient Shura City’s Imperial Family .

“Sir Tong He, the Shura Tower is in the Heavenly Mist City . I saw it with my own eyes,” Misha said respectfully .

The youth had a very handsome face and a dazzling blood-red hair . He took a deep breath and said, “I can sense very intense fluctuations from the Shura Tower . The Shura Tower is the Sacred Tool of my Ancient Shura City; it must not be left outside . “

. . .

As more experts arrived, the activity within Heavenly Mist City increased .

However, despite the increasing amount of activity within the city, Bu Fang contentedly lay in his chair, basking under the sun . He was all along this lazy and was now squinting his eyes and relaxing while gazing at the passing clouds .

Whenever customers came over, Bu Fang would get up and go to the kitchen to make their dishes; after that, he would return to his chair in front of the store and lie in it . Many of the store’s customers found his indolent appearance funny and embarrassing .

The area around the restaurant had been swept cleanly . The rubble from the collapsed stores had been swept away, and only sand remained on the ground . This made the area seem quite spacious and empty .

His restaurant proudly stood there alone, seeming quite conspicuous .

The number of customers in the store slowly dwindled, and the Nangong Family personnel stopped working and returned to their homes .

Under the setting sun, Bu Fang remained in front of the store, watching the shadow of the store elongate due to the dimming light of the sun .

In the distance, two people could be seen gradually approaching him . These two were clad in blood-red robes, and they also had blood-red hair, which appeared bright under the light rays from the setting sun .

Bu Fang calmly looked at them .

Misha sucked in a breath of cold air when he spotted Bu Fang sitting in front of the restaurant . He did not dare act carelessly because the guy in front of him had managed to survive a face-off with the terrifying bloody man . This showed that the guy surely had powerful means .

Misha was only wary of Bu Fang, despite his seemingly weak cultivation level, because he knew how powerful that bloody man had been .

Tong He stood beside Misha, and the corners of the lips of his extremely handsome face, which looked like a work of art, curled upwards .

“The Shura Tower’s aura is emanating from this person’s body . It seems like the one who got Shura Tower, in the end, is just an ant who has not even broken through one of the Supreme-Being’s shackles .
