While guiding the internal True Qi back to its origin using the [Heavenly Intent Four Symbols Art] mental method, he directed the internal energy back to its source.
Fang Shuwen quickly grasped the essence of this martial art.
The brilliance of this method lies in the harmony between internal and external aspects.
By harnessing the power of the universe and influencing the external, it can generate all sorts of extraordinary abilities, making it incredibly powerful.
Now that Fang Shuwen possesses two great divine skills, the Muscle Tendon Change and the Beiming Shengong, guiding Qi back to its origin using the Great Perfection level of the Heavenly Intent Four Symbols Art is not difficult for him either.
After all, although these three divine skills are completely different, they are not entirely without similarities.
Many meridians had already been opened, so he completed the process of guiding qi back to its origin in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
With a thought, he could easily convert the True Qi within his body using the nameless cultivation method derived from the system.
Sometimes it was the [Muscle Tendon Change] divine skill, sometimes it was the [Beiming Shengong]. His thoughts changed again, and in the hazy distance, a wind seemed to come, about to take shape behind Fang Shuwen.
He opened his eyes, and the wind dissipated, his breath returned to its source.
He stood up, gently patted his robes, and then returned to the campfire.
Mo Beidou said something that made all the bodyguards and escorts present burst into laughter.
Lu Guiyan sat alone on one side, also smiling slightly.
Fang Shuwen thought for a moment, then sat down next to her:
"What is the young master escort thinking?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Guiyan looked at Fang Shuwen, her expression revealing an unprecedented ease:
"It's nothing, it just feels like this trip was like rolling around on the road to the underworld..."
"If it weren't for Escort Chief Mo's chance encounter with you in Guangning City, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to leave Guangning City."
Fang Shuwen thought for a moment and then said:
"Then why do you think Wang Shouyan entrusted this deal to your Lu'an Escort Agency?"
Lu Guiyan thought for a moment and said:
"When I first learned that this matter involved Flying Snow City and Startling Flower Pavilion, I thought that Wang Shouyan wanted to use my Lu'an Escort Agency as a tool."
"But in the end, if it weren't for you, we would have died countless times already."
"In the end, I overestimated myself. Lu'an Escort Agency isn't even qualified to make knives."
"Later, we considered that perhaps it was precisely because Lu'an Escort Agency was so small and inconspicuous that no one would have thought that Startling Flower Pavilion would use Lu'an Escort Agency to escort those two doctors."
"Such a clever way to deceive people is indeed ingenious."
"That's what I thought until we got to Flying Snow City."
"But..."
She paused slightly at this point before continuing:
"Those two people reacted very strangely just now."
Logically speaking, they had no reason to reveal their identities to the public.
"After all, Flying Snow City is now a quagmire, and they are already in grave danger as they are trapped in it. To confess their identities in this way is to court death."
"Brother Fang, you just saw it too. Even the Book Immortal Murong Qingchen went there for the so-called Seven-String Ancient Text, as well as Xiao Yanyu of the Golden Bell Tower."
"Both the man surnamed Gu and that big monk are not easy to deal with, and even that young man Chen Yan, who was tricked by his donkey, is not as simple as he seems."
"All eyes are now on those two people."
"So... so I now suspect that Startling Flower Pavilion might be using a feint to cover up a secret mission."
"The one who can truly save Wu Lingxiao's life is probably someone else entirely."
Fang Shuwen looked at Lu Guiyan and chuckled softly:
"The young master escort is truly extraordinary."
"... Brother Fang, please don't make fun of me. I'm just being wise after the event."
Lu Guiyan sighed:
"And so what if I have a little bit of cleverness?"
There are countless talented and skilled people in this world. While the Eastern Region Seven Great Sects are undoubtedly high and mighty, there are also many unassuming figures who lurk in the shadows, stirring up trouble and preventing the martial world from ever finding peace.
Fang Shuwen nodded as well.
Gazing in the direction of Flying Snow City, a few thoughts stirred within me.
He had considered all of the possibilities Lu Guiyan mentioned.
However, at this moment, he was thinking of another possibility besides these possibilities.
But now they are far removed from the storm, and whatever the truth may be, it has nothing to do with them anymore.
But just as Fang Shuwen was thinking this, his brows suddenly furrowed slightly.
He broke off a branch and threw it into the fire.
Watching the flames being whipped up by the wind, causing the original fire to suddenly ripple.
Then I watched the wind spread out into the distance, swirling and shaking the branches endlessly.
I couldn't help but chuckle softly:
"When you're in the world of martial arts, sometimes you really have no choice but to follow your own path."
Lu Guiyan was taken aback, wondering why Fang Shuwen suddenly had such a sentiment, when a hint of horror appeared in her eyes.
From the darkness, figures emerged silently.
It wasn't until these people's silhouettes emerged from the firelight that Lu Guiyan became aware of their presence.
They suddenly stood up and looked around, only to realize with a start that they were already surrounded.
The group of people were dressed in red, and their face masks were also fiery red, with fiery cloud patterns drawn on them, making them look like clusters of raging fire in this cold season.
But the raging fire did not warm her heart at all; instead, it made Lu Guiyan's hands and feet icy cold.
Mo Beidou and the others also changed their expressions drastically. They stood up, gathered together, and watched these uninvited guests warily.
Then a figure wrapped entirely in a red robe came to the fire, sat down, and stretched out his hand to warm himself by the firelight.
The firelight was blazing, and he moved extremely close, so close that the flames could lick his hand, yet he seemed completely unaware.
Lu Guiyan noticed that his hands were not injured from being placed in the fire.
This discovery caused Lu Guiyan's pupils to contract even further.
Then the man in red robes slowly said:
"A month ago, was it you who killed the entire Black Sha Cult in the main hall in front of the Pearl Pavilion?"
Fang Shuwen nodded:
"It's me."
"Very honest."
The man in the red robe nodded, a hint of amusement in his voice:
"Have you seen the Divine Fire Seal?"
Fang Shuwen thought about it carefully:
"No, but there was one person whose body was engulfed in flames, and he eventually exploded into a sky full of fireworks."
"That is the Divine Fire Seal."
The man in the red robe sighed:
"Actually, you didn't have to die so young."
"Oh?"
Fang Shuwen was somewhat surprised:
"When did you originally plan to take revenge on me?"
"We'll have to wait until we get our hands on the Seven-String Ancient Text... After all, those who killed us will be punished to the ends of the earth."
The man in red robes said helplessly:
"Who would have thought that you would leave Nine-Congealing Mountain one day and then run to Flying Snow City the next?"
"Such a rare opportunity, we certainly can't let it slip by."
Fang Shuwen was somewhat surprised:
"You've also come for the Seven-String Ancient Text?"
"What exactly is the purpose of this thing?"
