After the destruction ceremony, Fang Qianyuan left Phoenix Forest Ward alone and returned to the sect headquarters.
He now had more than a hundred thousand spirit jade on hand, as well as the Blood Refinement manual that had given the Blood Demon Gang its foothold. He could study it for insights, and he was rather eager to give it a try.
Meanwhile, news of Fang Qianyuan's destruction of the Blood Demon Gang was spreading at tremendous speed.
The Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Azure Cloud Sect were pushing the matter from behind the scenes. Once their powerful machinery for steering public opinion began to turn, the entire Southern Wilds was abuzz with the news.
Fang Qianyuan had never been some nameless junior. His best-known identity was that of the second disciple of Jiang Yunfeng, the Lord of Ten Thousand Miles. After challenging the East Pass Talents without finding a single worthy opponent, he had entered the watch lists of the various powers as Young Master Fang, the Lord of a Thousand Miles.
Now, he had single-handedly wiped out the Blood Demon Gang's leadership and led the powerful local factions in exterminating the gang. This was already a feat that seemed to transcend the mortal world, something an Earth Rank Expert would do.
In an instant, East Pass was shaken, the northwest and southwest were stunned, and everyone throughout the Azure Cloud Sect was discussing it.
