Chapter 515: Chapter 511 Heroic Gathering and Fang Xiaocao’s Internal Purification

Putting Jiang Xinyan fully in charge of the materials worth a billion on the two large ships, Fang Xiaocao left the port directly and headed straight for the Mountain Foot Villa.

——

A week later!

With his injuries healed, Fang Xiaocao was practicing Praying Mantis Fist in the front yard with Mantis. Wan Xiaozhou hurriedly walked in from outside the door, "Princess Your Highness, you have an invitation letter."

Hearing Wan Xiaozhou’s words, Mantis immediately withdrew, moving out of Fang Xiaocao’s attack range, standing aside with hands tied, leaving space for Fang Xiaocao and Wan Xiaozhou.

Fang Xiaocao stopped, picked up a towel, and wiped the sweat off her forehead, "Who sent it?"

"It’s jointly sent by the Blacklist and the Ye Family."

Wan Xiaozhou took out a black-gold invitation letter and held it respectfully in her hands.

"Oh?"

Fang Xiaocao raised her eyebrows, showing interest.

"How did the Blacklist and the Ye Family mingle together? Do they have any connections?"

Fang Xiaocao didn’t take the invitation letter, instead, she picked up the teacup and sipped it slowly.

"They have a cooperative relationship."

Wan Xiaozhou answered in a deep voice.

"What is the invitation about?"

Putting down the teacup, Fang Xiaocao didn’t believe it was just a cooperative relationship.

These two families, both with superpowers, since they could jointly send out an invitation letter, it definitely wasn’t as simple as a mere cooperation.

There must be other entanglements in the dark, unknown to outsiders.

It might be possible that the Ye Family is one of the silent shareholders of the Blacklist.

"It’s the Heroic Gathering in Jianghu, a grand event in the martial world incorporating meeting friends through martial arts, trade, and auctions. A small event is held annually, and a big one every ten years. This year happens to be the ten-year occasion, where basically all the famous and reputable powers and figures in Jianghu participate."

Wan Xiaozhou recounted the information she had gathered in advance, explaining to Fang Xiaocao.

Fang Xiaocao squinted her eyes slightly, "Interesting, where is it being held?"

Fang Xiaocao was quite interested in this so-called Heroic Gathering; after all, wasn’t this a great opportunity to make a name for oneself?

Even though she has gained some fame now, she still lacks an opportunity to make a formal appearance in front of the various heroes in Jianghu.

Fang Xiaocao had already decided that she must participate in this Heroic Gathering and aim to win in the martial competition, making the name Fang Xiaocao formally recognized as one of the leading figures in Jianghu and allowing her subordinates to gain recognition to prevent them from being targeted by some petty villains when they travel in Jianghu.

In other words, Fang Xiaocao intended to flex her muscles.

"In Shu."

Wan Xiaozhou glanced at the invitation letter.

"What time?"

Fang Xiaocao asked in a deep voice.

"In ten days!"

Wan Xiaozhou answered fluently.

"Go let Jiang Xinyan prepare things for the Heroic Gathering, and at the same time notify Xuanwu to go down the mountain to Swan Goose, and let Vermilion Bird come up the mountain to assist Thousand Faces. Tell Tom, Unhappy, and Mantis to pack their bags and prepare to set off with me. Also, let Taotie roll back from Jiang Xinyan and come with me to Shu."

After brief consideration, Fang Xiaocao promptly decided on the entourage for the Heroic Gathering and simultaneously made a personnel change, allowing Xuanwu to go to Swan Goose to stabilize and monitor its internals so that during her time away from Tang City and her journey to Shu, no problems would arise.

Having the more decisive Vermilion Bird go to Phoenix Nest to assist Thousand Faces in dominating Phoenix Nest and acting as Thousand Faces’ spokesperson while also overseeing the internals of Phoenix Nest, the Mountain Foot Villa, and Swan Goose. Recently, Fang Xiaocao received information suggesting that some Tomb Raider Sect members seem to be quite restless.

Fang Xiaocao wouldn’t want the troublemakers to cause any rebellions or betrayals behind her back during her absence.

Many Tomb Raider Sect members were initially entrusted with heavy responsibilities in Fang Xiaocao’s emerging power due to Jiang Xinyan and Taotie’s connections. Aside from Jiang Xinyan’s Swan Goose, the entire team contains Tomb Raider Sect people, and many are also dispersed within Phoenix Nest and the Mountain Foot Villa.

Once these people unite, all three of Fang Xiaocao’s factions will be implicated.

Although trusting Jiang Xinyan, Fang Xiaocao still couldn’t let down her guard.

Moreover, the development of Swan Goose and Phoenix Nest during this period has been very rapid, secretly absorbing many freelance personnel from Jianghu. Among them, there might be subtle spies from other forces and rival factions that could act during Fang Xiaocao’s absence from Tang City to Shu.

As the leader of the forces, besides following Mantis to learn Praying Mantis Fist and enhancing close combat ability, Fang Xiaocao also learns how to become a qualified female leader every day with Tom and Thousand Faces.

The basic principles of balance and imperial power tactics have been mostly mastered by Fang Xiaocao.

Deploying Xuanwu to Swan Goose is just to deter any internal unstable factors while protecting Jiang Xinyan and monitoring those Tomb Raider Sect elders with divided loyalties. Although Xuanwu lacks high offensive skills, its defense is unparalleled. Apart from Bao Yuan, there basically isn’t anyone with top-tier offensive skills among the Tomb Raider Sect, making Xuanwu’s capability perfect for stabilizing Swan Goose and acting as a deterrent.

As long as Xuanwu is present, as long as Jiang Xinyan doesn’t rebel, even if Bao Yuan leads a rebellion, Xuanwu is sufficient to handle any uprising within Swan Goose.

With Thousand Faces in Phoenix Nest, it’s unlikely for any trouble to occur. Even if chaos ensues within Phoenix Nest, as long as a handy assistant is given to Thousand Faces, such as Vermilion Bird, the issues can be nipped in the bud while also monitoring Swan Goose and the Mountain Foot Villa, ready to take charge anytime.

The Mountain Foot Villa is a bridge to Phoenix Nest, with no masters inside. But with Wan Xiaozhou there, even if things get chaotic, it won’t pose any significant threat to Fang Xiaocao’s overall power.

Furthermore, with Phoenix Nest on the mountain, Thousand Faces can dispatch people to come down and wipe out the Mountain Foot Villa anytime.

Clearing up the unrest might be an opportunity to purify some unstable factors.

In conclusion, Fang Xiaocao had already prepared countermeasures for her three forces.

Swan Goose being unstable, so Fang Xiaocao openly sent Xuanwu to deter it.

Phoenix Nest is the least likely to become chaotic, with Thousand Faces and Vermilion Bird together, they can suppress Swan Goose at any time.

The Mountain Foot Villa is the least of Fang Xiaocao’s worries about chaos because the Mountain Foot Villa is just her residence upon returning, with no secrets or masters inside. If it truly turns chaotic, she’ll have Thousand Faces wipe it out and replace the people.

——

Three days later!

Fang Xiaocao set off with Tom, Taotie, Unhappy, and Mantis, taking a flight to Shu.

Fang Xiaocao intentionally departed in a high-profile manner and delayed for three days so that the news of her imminent departure from Tang City to Shu could spread widely among her subordinates and allow the spies sent by various forces enough time to relay the information.

Fang Xiaocao’s purpose was pure.

To fish out and punish, giving those restless elements time to prepare for rebellion, allowing Thousand Faces to unearth and eliminate them. Internal purification is a task every force must regularly undertake, and the Blacklist, due to not purging their internals regularly, unwittingly allowed Taotie to remain loyal to Fang Xiaocao for so long without realizing it.
