Chapter 1164: Chapter 1164: Do Not Be Disrespectful

Qi Dongyang is a Cosmic Level high-rank expert, and the pressure he exudes is such that even those of the same realm must go all out to withstand it, yet he cannot do it with the ease that Fang Bai does.

This leads to the conclusion that Fang Bai’s strength must be a notch above that of all the elders of Green Bamboo Stronghold.

In the True Martial Realm, young Cosmic Level experts like Fang Bai are considered prodigies from heaven, usually only found within first-class great clans. Fang Bai, however, is a Loose Cultivator without affiliation to any sect or clan. Without the aid of a plethora of Cultivation Resources or profound Martial Arts Techniques, he has managed to reach his current realm, which is truly a miracle.

Qi Dongyang also knew that Fang Bai’s strength surpassed his own, and thinking back to the boastful words he had uttered earlier made him feel immensely embarrassed. He stood there rigidly, his face alternating between green and white as his back was soaked with cold sweat.

After a moment of stunned shock, Stronghold Head Gu was immediately filled with indescribable joy, thinking that with Fang Bai’s tremendous strength, he must possess some extraordinary methods. It seemed the words he had said about being able to heal Su Linglong’s injuries were credible, reigniting a heart that was almost lost to despair.

Among the young generation of disciples in Green Bamboo Stronghold, Su Linglong was the one Stronghold Head Gu valued the most. Ever since Su Linglong joined Green Bamboo Stronghold, not only did Stronghold Head Gu impart all he knew, but he also allocated vast Cultivation Resources for her training, sparing no efforts in nurturing her, and Su Linglong did not disappoint him, greatly enhancing her power in a short span of time.

After Su Linglong was gravely injured, Stronghold Head Gu was heartbroken. To treat her injuries, he did not hesitate to spend a great deal of Green Bamboo Stronghold’s Cultivation Resources to exchange for Healing Pills, hoping to cure Su Linglong, yet the result was deeply disappointing.

Now, with Fang Bai’s arrival, Stronghold Head Gu saw a glimmer of hope and naturally felt overjoyed.

"Elder Qi, our guests must not be treated rudely!"

Given that Fang Bai was likely able to heal Su Linglong, naturally, Stronghold Head Gu would not allow Qi Dongyang to come into conflict with him. Waving his hand to make Qi Dongyang step back, he said to Fang Bai, "Brother Fang, from this moment on, please make yourself at home in that bamboo building. Linglong’s life is in your hands."

Stronghold Head Gu’s address to Fang Bai changed from the initial "Brother Fang" to the current "Brother Fang," clearly placing Fang Bai on an equal footing with himself after revealing his true strength.

For the other senior members of Green Bamboo Stronghold, they too had put away their contemptuous view of Fang Bai, thinking that someone stronger than Elder Qi indeed possessed the qualifications to sit on an equal level with the Stronghold Chief.

In the True Martial Realm, the status of Martial Artists is determined not by age but by strength. Even if it were a mere child, as long as they had the strength to overpower everyone else, they would have to be respectfully addressed as a senior.

"With this, I thank Stronghold Head Gu deeply."

Seeing Stronghold Head Gu agree to let him treat Su Linglong inside the bamboo building, Fang Bai nodded in thanks and then lifted the unconscious Su Linglong from the bamboo bed and walked step by step into the bamboo building.

Fang Bai had already made preparations that if Stronghold Head Gu refused to let him bring Su Linglong into the bamboo building for treatment, he would leave Green Bamboo Stronghold with her. Should Qi Dongyang dare to stop him, he wouldn’t mind killing him.

Although Qi Dongyang is a Cosmic Level high-rank expert, with the support of Spiritual Artifacts like Blood-Drinking Mad Blade and Houyi Bow, Fang Bai was fully confident that he could eliminate him in one fell swoop.

As for Stronghold Head Gu, a Cosmic Level expert at the peak of perfection, Fang Bai did not necessarily consider himself the man’s match, but with his unparalleled movement technique, he was confident he could take Su Linglong and leave Green Bamboo Stronghold with ease; even if the Stronghold mobilized its full force and deployed Heaven’s Net, they would not be able to stop him.

Fortunately, Stronghold Head Gu had agreed to let Fang Bai enter the bamboo tower, and Qi Dongyang had obediently stepped back. Otherwise, had they provoked Fang Bai, peace would no longer be a luxury for Green Bamboo Stronghold.

After carrying Su Linglong into the bamboo tower, Fang Bai also called Zhuge Lian, Linghu Qianjiao, and Linghu Baimei, the three ladies, inside. He planned to heal Su Linglong, then cultivate in seclusion with the four ladies for a period of time within the tower.

In Fang Bai’s words, this bamboo tower not only condensed the most pure and rich Wood Element Qi of the entire Green Bamboo Stronghold, but it was also enveloped by Wind Element Qi and Water Element Qi surging from the sea a hundred miles away. The intermingling of three different types of Essence Qi made the place an optimal cultivation spot he had encountered since entering the True Martial Realm—a chance not to be missed.

Seeing Fang Bai summon Zhuge Lian and the other two ladies into the bamboo tower, the senior members of Green Bamboo Stronghold exchanged glances, their expressions peculiar.

All of them were elders aging over or nearing a hundred years, each with a wealth of experience. They could tell at a glance that Zhuge Lian and the other ladies had a deep relationship with Fang Bai, intimate enough to describe, and deduced that just like Su Linglong, they were Martial Dao companions Fang Bai had met in the Secular World.

Now that they were all under one roof and at the prime of their youth, no one dared to claim that they wouldn’t engage in shared cultivation practices within the bamboo tower amidst the gathering clouds and rain.

The bamboo tower was the dwelling of the Stronghold Chief and the sacred ground in the hearts of tens of thousands of disciples. It would be highly inappropriate if Fang Bai and the others were to do anything deemed excessive there.

But since Stronghold Head Gu had already agreed to lend the bamboo tower to Fang Bai temporarily, how could he decently interfere with what they were doing inside?

After shaking his head with a wry smile, Stronghold Head Gu turned a blind eye, focusing on nothing else but hoping Fang Bai could heal Su Linglong.

If Fang Bai failed to cure Su Linglong, Stronghold Head Gu planned to persuade him to go to Shenwu Continent to seek the Thousand-Year Blood Bodhi and refine high-rank Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pills, believing Fang Bai would not refuse.

And with Fang Bai’s formidable strength, going there would be much more suitable than sending Wu De.

Shortly after Fang Bai and Zhuge Lian and the others entered the bamboo tower, the higher-ups of Green Bamboo Stronghold were astonished to find the tower encased in a Defense Qi Shield, made of condensed Earth Element Qi, completely isolating it from the outside world; even a powerhouse like Stronghold Head Gu could not sense any fluctuation of aura inside.

"Could that Fang Bai be an Array Master as well?" Stronghold Head Gu knew that only an Array Master capable of setting up a Formation could achieve such complete concealment of a Martial Artist’s aura. He clicked his tongue in amazement and his respect for Fang Bai rose, along with his desire to win him over.

However, Stronghold Head Gu’s original intention in winning over Fang Bai was to make him a disciple of Green Bamboo Stronghold, but now he hoped Fang Bai would be willing to become an Elder of Tribute like Wu De. He would be eternally grateful.

With an ally like Fang Bai, a Cosmic Level Expert who could overpower Qi Dongyang, Green Bamboo Stronghold would certainly rise in power, a situation that bode ill for Swiftwind Valley.

After Fang Bai, Su Linglong, Zhuge Lian, Linghu Qianjiao, and Linghu Baimei entered the bamboo tower, there was no news from them for a whole month, like stones sinking into the abyss. Stronghold Head Gu and the other seniors of Green Bamboo Stronghold were also unable to ascertain any developments within the tower.
