Celestial Master： I Have an Otherworld-Chapter 248 - 86: When the Whale Falls, Life Flourishes (Part 4)

At the same time, he held the Desolate Pole and smashed it down.

With his cultivation base and refinement level, wielding the Desolate Pole against the enemy was indeed too laborious; it was more convenient to hold it in hand.

"Boom!"

This strike once again landed solidly on the body, releasing strange force from within the Desolate Pole, causing Song Kewang's body to tremble greatly, his mouth opening wide.

Fang Zheng's eyes moved, swiftly reaching for the pistol at his waist, placing the barrel into the opponent's mouth, and fiercely pulling the trigger.

"Bang!"

"Bang bang!"

The remaining bullets were fully discharged.

Brain matter splattered.

On the long street, pedestrians were sparse, a scene of desolation.

Vast Gu'an County.

After months of turmoil, now it seemed like a deserted city, with deathly silence everywhere, only overgrown with weeds.

"Unexpectedly..."

Households Commander Ming, riding on horseback, shook his head and sighed lightly:

"General Song died just like that."

"Sir."

Fang Zheng spoke:

"How will this matter be handled next?"

"This matter is not urgent, it still needs discussion." Households Commander Ming looked back, glanced over at the Desolate Pole, his eyes flickering under the mask, and asked:

"Where did you get that magical artifact in your hand?"

"Hmm..." Fang Zheng touched his chin:

"Picked it up."

"Picked it up?" Households Commander Ming seemed to ponder, and after a while, he laughed easily:

"Picked it up well, picked it up well."

"But this magical artifact is equally strange, be cautious if you refine it, you've seen the outcome of General Song refining the Thousand-Autumn Demon Sword."

"Yes."

Fang Zheng nodded, a sense of fear emerged in his heart.

Only now did he realize how perilous his act of refining the Desolate Pole was, luckily he narrowly avoided a calamity.

"General Song was not only the Deputy Commander of the Anxi Army, but also a pillar of the Song Family, so he cannot die at our hands."

Households Commander Ming looked up at the sky, his voice leisurely:

"Even if he fell into madness, it cannot be."

"Moreover, he was an official of the Imperial Court, he must not bear the stigma of a ruthless killer; the Song Family won't allow it, and neither will the Imperial Court."

"General Song died because of suppressing the rebellion!"

Fang Zheng understood.

It seems Song Kewang's background is deep, making Households Commander Ming and others afraid of retaliation, so they've decided to cover up the truth.

At least,

superficially it can be justified.

"The White Lotus Sect, the Evil Dao colluded with the Ren Family, wreaking havoc in Gu'an County, even crazily setting up a trap with Young Master Song, and General Song died out of love for his son."

"Fortunately!"

"Following the arrangements made by General Song before his death, we eliminated the evil cult in Gu'an County and destroyed the Ren Family traitors, thus fulfilling General Song's last wishes."

"Cough, cough..."

Households Commander Ming covered his chest and coughed lightly, his breath weakened.

"Sir."

Fang Zheng looked up:

"Are you alright?"

"Still manageable." Households Commander Ming straightened his body on horseback, gently shook his head, and said thoughtfully:

"Earlier I was ambushed by villains and suffered some injuries; it's just an old wound relapsing now, luckily, I was assisted by a kind-hearted person and narrowly escaped."

"Really."

Fang Zheng's expression remained unchanged:

"You have good fortune, sir."

"Heh..." Households Commander Ming withdrew his gaze, speaking slowly:

"A good person deserves good fortune, I have always believed so. Young Master Fang assisted in killing the demon, he should receive a reward."

"I dare not." Fang Zheng quickly replied:

"As long as Square Porcelain can live peacefully, I am already very satisfied."

"I see..." Households Commander Ming lowered his head, and asked:

"Have you ever considered joining the army?"

Hmm?

Fang Zheng looked up, meeting his intense gaze, and then slowly shook his head:

"Square Porcelain is accustomed to the current life, and has no intention of joining the army."

"Is that so." Households Commander Ming raised his head, his voice tinged with regret:

"That's really a pity."

......

After parting with Households Commander Ming, Fang Zheng strolled into the West Market, as Song Kewang was besieged, no one thought about Young Master Song, born with such foolishness.

Fang Zheng and the others narrowly escaped calamity.

Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

"Cough, cough..."

Chen Jiuniang covered her mouth and coughed lightly, wrapped in a thick blanket lying on a soft chair, squinting her eyes to Fang Zheng who walked slowly, nodding as a sign:

"I didn't expect, Young Master Fang understands magic as well?"

"Not really." Fang Zheng shook his head: 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Just a little familiarity."

"Young Master Fang is too humble." Chen Jiuniang chuckled softly:

"At such a young age, you are already a Three Blood Martial Artist and a High Tier Warlock; even in Zhaonan Prefecture, you would be a talent, staying in a mere county city is beneath you."

"Jiu Niang is joking."

"I'm not joking."

Coughing lightly again, Chen Jiuniang's face paled, showing heavy injuries, she steadied her breath before saying:

"Would Young Master Fang be willing to go to Zhaonan Prefecture?"

"Square Porcelain's business can be assisted by Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, the Chen Family is willing to support your cultivation skill; speaking of which, I have several unmarried sisters..."

She spoke with genuine kindness, intending to recruit.

"Thank you for your kindness, Jiu Niang, I appreciate it." Fang Zheng cupped his hands:

"However, I currently have no plans to leave Gu'an County. If one day I wish to go to Zhaonan Prefecture, I will surely visit you at the mansion."

"Hmm..." Chen Jiuniang pursed her lips, saying:

"Alright."

"Now the Chen Family is not very peaceful either; recklessly involving Young Master Fang may not be a good thing. After the chaos in Gu'an County, it should be safe here."

"Moreover..."

Her voice hardened, continuing:

"Young Master Fang has achieved in both magic and martial paths, showing great talent. If you could focus on one, you might have already achieved Martial Artist status."

"Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts is not the correct path."

"Just practice concurrently!"

"Yes." Fang Zheng nodded:

"I've been taught."

A warlock practicing Martial Arts and a Martial Artist understanding magic is very common. Like Zhang Mingrui himself, he is a Blood Martial Artist.

But it is concurrent practice.

They won't focus simultaneously on two paths, as it would disperse energy; while it's complementary in the short term, over time it becomes a burden.

"Clap clap!"

Chen Jiuniang lightly clapped her hands.
