However, Fang Xingjian did not dethrone Da Yue`er. Instead, he used this top beauty of the plains as his puppet to control all the tribes in the plains.
Right now in the plains, Da Yue`er was reporting to Fang Xingjian the current situation in the Imperial Capital.
"The city walls and streets are still being fixed, but the citizens in the respective districts have settled down. However..." Da Yue`er said. Raising her head warily, she looked at this man who had the greatest authority in the south and could also be said to be the strongest person. She continued slowly, "Recently, there have been some rumors spreading in the plains."
"Speak up," Fang Xingjian said coldly.
"They say that the reason Imperial Preceptor has taken over the Imperial Capital once again is so that you can take the Divine Sun Emperor's treasures for yourself. They say that you've already obtained news concerning the Divine Sun Emperor's treasures."
"Oh?" Hearing Da Yue`er's words, the corners of Fang Xingjian's lips curled up into a cold smile as he thought, 'Words spread by the Plenary Foundation Septet? It seems that their objective is to attract people to the plains?
'Why are they doing this?'
Fang Xingjian shook his head 'The things I know of are still too little. I have no idea about their objectives or their strength at all. Moreover, their main bodies are hidden in a small world, and I'm unable to find them with my Sudden Inspiration.
'I'll still need to obtain more information about them.'
At the thought of this, Duan Tianhao's image appeared in his mind.
He threw a glance at Da Yue`er and said, "I got it. You've done well. You can take your leave for now."
Da Yue`er lowered her head and slowly left as she wore an expression of great respect. As she walked away, she even seemed to intentionally expose her beautiful, long, and slender legs that were under her dress. It was as if she wanted to seduce Fang Xingjian with her body.
However, after seeing her leave, Fang Xingjian appeared in a courtyard in the palace with a flash.
'According to the information provided by Da Yue`er and the documents from the East Military Execution Order, Duan Tianhao's only kin is his younger sister by the name of Duan Ziyan. Although she is his sister in name, she is just the goddaughter his father took in. The two of them grew up together and are almost in a relationship where they are pledged to be married to each other.
'After arriving in the plains, Duan Tianhao placed Duan Ziyan under protection in the palace.'
Fang Xingjian's martial will swept toward the room in front of him, and he could see a purple-haired young lady crying as she sat on the bed. She was wearing a set of black training clothes which was tailored to wrap tightly around her body, bringing out her wonderful curves and figure.
Her long and slender legs were wrapped in a layer of purple tights used to reinforced leg movements during cultivation.
Looking at the beautiful young lady in front of her, Fang Xingjian stroke his chin. 'She should be Duan Tianhao's greatest weakness. If I can invade Duan Tianhao's inner heart with my sword seed through her, I'll be able to get him to open up his heart and bypass that layer of power that is guarding him.'
As Fang Xingjian spoke, he took a step into the room. Looking at the surprised Duan Ziyan who took on a battle stance like a little kitten, Fang Xingjian smiled. At that moment, it was as if the entire room had lit up.
Seeing Fang Xingjian's smile, Duan Ziyan's feelings of hatred, anxiety, and terror immediately paused and turned into hesitation.
"You...
Fang Xingjian walked up to Duan Ziyan slowly. With each step he took, his expression seemed to turn softer. It was as if he was emitting an unrivaled sense of seduction, making Duan Ziyan's heart beat faster. Her face flushed red, and she started to pant.
With Fang Xingjian's current cultivation level, it was extremely easy for him to perform the Heart Sword Path to invade another person's heart, let alone when his target was Duan Ziyan who was not even at the Divine level.
"You... Don't come over here." The moment she forced these stern words out of her mouth, she started to pant intermittently. Duan Ziyan even fell down weakly onto the bed with a plop as her legs started to wriggle restlessly.
Fang Xingjian walked slowly right up to her and put out his hand to stroke her head. Duan Ziyan felt a series of trembles run through her body like waves of warmth seething in her heart.
Fang Xingjian's voice seemed to be the devil's seduction, ringing out next to her ears.
"Tell me, who is helping your elder brother?"
After ten or more minutes later, Duan Ziyan lying limply on the bed, with her clothes seeming a little unkempt. There was an alluring blush on her face, and her eyes seemed to be in a daze. Her body was also convulsing intermittently.
Fang Xingjian stroke his chin and thought, 'As expected. There isn't even a hint of power used to protect her. It's because this woman knows almost nothing. She only knows that there are two person—a fatty who took Duan Tianhao as his disciple, and another person who helped him to rule over the plains.
'I'll still have to get the information from Duan Tianhao.'
Concurrently, inside the Sword Realm...
The entire sky was filled with layers of stacking sword-shaped phantom images that were seething to and fro. They stacked together, forming floating clouds.
The ground was filled with densely-packed sharp blades that pierced into the earth. There were no hints of gaps between each sword tip. They formed the ground here, and if ordinary people were to walk on them, the swords would probably pierce through their flesh.
From afar, many huge swords that were several hundred or several thousand meters in length were stacked together in an upright position, forming the sword mountain in this world.
All throughout the Sword Realm, almost everything was formed from swords, containing all the sword arts intents that Fang Xingjian had spent his life cultivating.
Right now, Duan Tianhao's entire body was enveloped in black sword marks, with only his head exposed as he floated in midair.
His countenance was pale, and his eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the massive world before him. He laughed and said, "B*stard, come on! Use whatever means you have! Don't dream of finding out any information from me.
"After I die, I'll wait for you below. Master and the others will avenge me.
"Your entire clan and everyone related to you will die because of you.
"They'll kill all the men in your clan, f*ck all the women in your clan, and then sell them to the dirtiest brothel, letting the most ignorant and brutal barbarians enjoy them."
Faced with the Sword Realm before him, Duan Tianhao seemed to have let go of everything, giving up any plans of surviving as he kept on cursing viciously.
"Hahahaha, do you think that you'll win? You've only seen less than 1% of our strength. Once we start to activate our attacks, even the Church of Universal Truth won't be able to do anything, let alone you.
"Your clan will be trampled down into the mud, and all of the women will be sold as sows. All of your subordinates will receive the most brutal torture and revenge..."
At the next moment, Duan Tianhao felt a pain in his mouth. His entire mouth was stirred up into a mess, and he whimpered away, unable to speak another word.
