Chapter 104: His Majestic Has Arrived

Fang Jie looked at the strange scene, and his heart started to race. He felt like he was inside a video that was put on pause. This feeling was indescribable!

The border soldiers on the first floor had different cultivation strength, but none of them was able to get away from this scene that seemed like a time-freeze. They were all like statues.

Fang Jie felt like if someone pressed the play button, these people who froze in mid-air might fall and shatter into pieces.

On top of these border soldiers, there were also the waiters, other customers, and people like Wang Ding.

The strangest thing was that not everything froze in time; only people were frozen.

The vapor from the teapots was still rising, and Mo Xidao’s shattered robe continued to fly in the air.

When Fang Jie looked at Mo Xidao, he saw that this violent man seemed to be struggling. His upper body muscles seemed to be moving, and the unyielding intention became stronger and stronger in his eyes. However, he couldn’t break free.

Drawing on the ground and creating a prison; Fang Jie memorized these words.

When he chatted with the crippled old man, the latter mentioned this to him. At the time, Fang Jie thought that the crippled old man was only describing a mental state; he didn’t think that someone’s cultivation strength could be this insane. Because Fang Jie had a great memory, he didn’t forget who the crippled old man talked about when mentioning these words – Zhuo Buyi.

This man got inspired and created this technique.

While Fang Jie was completely shocked, he got stunned one more time. Guest-Prosper Dwell wasn’t frozen in time; vapor was rising, and broken robe pieces were flying. At this moment, someone pushed open the door of a private room and walked out with his hands behind his back, looking at ease.

This man was able to move around easily in Guest-Prosper Dwell that was under Zhuo Buyi’s control.

Fang Jie’s pupils instantly contracted upon seeing this person.

This person was wearing fancy clothes that seemed ordinary in comparison to that of Wang Ding, and he had no other luxurious accessories on him. It was simple, but he looked grand. When he got to the staircase on the second floor and looked down, he slowly shook his head, and it appeared that he murmured something.

Fang Jie didn’t hear anything, but he saw this man suddenly looking toward him with shock as well. Just like how surprised Fang Jie was when he saw this man ignoring Zhuo Buyi’s control over the area, this man looked at Fang Jie in surprise as well as if something was stunning about him.

There was something strange about Fang Jie.

Everyone else maintained their postures when Zhuo Buyi took control of the area, but Fang Jie stood straight, and his hands were shaking.

When this man looked over in surprise, Fang Jie got shocked as well. He suddenly realized that aside from the man looking down from the second floor, there was someone else who wasn’t completely frozen… and it was him.

“Come up.”

Fang Jie heard the man in fancy clothes on the second floor saying these two words and beckoning at him.

Fang Jie took a deep breath, suppressed his anxiety, and tried to move his legs. He discovered that even though it felt like his legs weighed thousands of kilograms, and it was extremely hard to move his legs, it wasn’t impossible. He clenched his teeth and tried his best. Although one of his feet was only lifted off the ground for a few centimeters, it was shocking enough for people who knew what was going on.

No one knew what cultivation level Mo Xidao was at, but he was sure stronger than Fang Jie; he was stronger than most of the people in this place. However, he couldn’t break free at all.

Fang Jie only move a little bit, but sweat already trenched his clothes.

The shock in the eyes of the person on the second floor was gradually replaced by curiosity and appreciation. He was surprised that an insignificant figure who he didn’t even want to pay attention to had brought him so many surprises. Because of this insignificant figure, he took down Yu Donglai, the Head of the Ministry of War, and controlled Luo Wen, Luo Yao’s only son. He might even be able to reach an agreement with Luo Yao himself!

Today, this insignificant figure brought him another surprise.

Hou Wenji looked at the young man who moved one small step with difficulty. Although he seemed relatively calm on the surface, his mind wasn’t calm at all. While looking at this young man, his lips started to curve upward.

He beckoned at this young man and asked him to come up; he wanted to see if this young man could do it. Although Zhuo Buyi didn’t use this technique to the max, not many people could break free. However, a wastrel like Fang Jie who couldn’t cultivate was breaking free!

“This incident became boring after Buyi did his thing, but I’m surprised that you brought me such a big surprise. Little guy, what secrets are there in your body? It seems like I didn’t only control Junior General Luo; there will also be Junior General Fang in the future?” Hou Wenji murmured to himself, and the curiosity intensified in his eyes.

At the same time, Zhuo Buyi who sat in his horse-drawn carriage with his eyes closed suddenly sensed something. He opened his eyes, lifted the curtain, and looked toward the restaurant.

“Interesting…” He couldn’t help but smile and sigh, “All of us misjudged you.”

In Beckon of the Red Sleeve that was far away from Guest-Prosper Dwell, the crippled old man was sitting in the backyard and staring at the dead tree that Fang Jie broke, blanking out. He could be reminiscing about something, or his mind could be empty.

Just as he was about to grab the giant liquor gourd on the side, he suddenly froze for a moment before looking into afar.

“Drawing on the ground and creating a prison?” he murmured to himself before disappearing.

Guest-Prosper Dwell had always been bustling, but it was never this chaotic.

When Zhuo Buyi got off his horse-drawn carriage, the 300 royal guards stationed outside Guest-Prosper Dwell all moved.

Godly Eye Liu Duxiu instantly blocked the street with a group of royal guards, and the rest of them charged into the restaurant.

When Liu Duxiu walked into the building, Fang Jie had taken four steps. However, these four steps were shorter than two ordinary steps, but he was sweating profusely already.

Fang Jie turned around to look at the royal guards who were rushing into the building, then he looked at the man in fancy clothes who was looking down at him from the second floor.

The first royal guard who charged into the building shouted, “Don’t move!”

Then, he realized how stupid that was.

When Liu Duxiu entered, he saw only one person moving. Just as he was about to stop this young man who was in a border soldier’s uniform, he saw the Department Head on the second floor shaking his head at him.

Therefore, he backed off and told others not to disturb this young man as well.

Fang Jie wanted to give up; these four steps almost depleted all his energy.

However, he seemed to have a strong will; he wasn’t willing to be restrained. This strong will made his consciousness fuzzy, then his eyes started to turn bright red.

Since he ran into the special assassins of the Intelligence Department who ambushed him on his way to the Capital, Fang Jie hadn’t entered this state. He even gradually forgot about that manic feeling. Therefore, when he recalled that moment, he felt like he was only enraged and became a little berserk.

However, his eyes turned completely red today once again.

When his eyes turned completely red, his body slowly straightened; Fang Jie was completely unaware of this. His muscles somehow became as tough as stone, and he took a big step forward.

Crack! When his foot landed, the tough green stone tile shattered into many pieces.

Fang Jie was like a berserk ox, and he moved forward one step at a time. Red-eyed, he walked around those border soldiers who froze on the spot before walking up the stairs. Although he wasn’t fast, his steps were steady. When he got to the second floor, Hou Wenji who had observed everything wanted to clap and cheer!

On the roof of Golden Guest House that was across the street from Guest-Prosper Dwell, the crippled old man who was hiding behind the ridge reacted. Although he couldn’t see Fang Jie, he could feel the unyielding will. This unyielding will seemed to be turning more violent and unsteady.

The crippled old man’s expression was serious.

After getting to the gate of Guest-Prosper Dwell, Zhuo Buyi couldn’t help but look back at the roof of Golden Guest House. However, he didn’t say anything. After a quick pause, he walked into Guest-Prosper Dwell. When he got into the building, Fang Jie was already on the second floor. After a quick pause, this red-eyed young man chose to walk forward.

Just as everyone thought that he was going to stop before the man in fancy clothes, Fang Jie stopped again.

His eyes landed on Mo Xidao, and he slowly reached out his hands and moved the hand on Wang Ding’s throat away.

No one saw that Fang Jie’s arms that were covered by his sleeves had turned red as if blood was boiling underneath his skin and could break through at any time.

Hou Wenji was surprised, and Zhou Buyi was stunned.

“This young man is still thinking about stopping Mo Xidao from killing others under impulse?” they thought to themselves.

In the next second, Zhuo Buyi appeared on the second floor and blocked Fang Jie.

Fang Jie’s attention was pulled by him, and the pair of red eyes slowly landed on Zhuo Buyi’s face.

Then, he let go of Mo Xidao’s hand and suddenly punched toward Zhuo Buyi’s face!

Hou Wenji’s eyes lit up, and Zhuo Buyi moved to the side before touching Fang Jie’s arm. Fang Jie’s aim instantly shifted, and he punched a pillar.

Bam! A big hole appeared in the thick pillar made of a pine tree; it felt like a monster took a bite out of the thick pillar.

While wooden pieces flew in all directions, Zhuo Buyi raised his finger and press onto Fang Jie’s chest 18 times. He was incredibly fast; it felt like he only moved once.

…

Now, Fang Jie couldn’t move at all. Zhuo Buyi used his mind to freeze everyone in the building earlier, but now he created a smaller prison around Fang Jie’s body this time. Although it seemed like this prison was smaller compared to the first one, it was much stronger.

The crippled old man who was hiding behind the ridge on the roof of Golden Guest House calmed down and disappeared.

Not long after he disappeared, a senior in a sapphire fancy robe appeared where he was a moment ago. This senior seemed to be about 50 years old, and he stood straight like a spear. He frowned and looked around before sighing, “You took away that woman from my hand that night; why are you afraid of facing me today?”

This senior murmured before turning his eyes toward Guest-Prosper Dwell.

…

Hou Wenji looked at Zhuo Buyi with interest and said with a smile, “It seems like you are overly concerned about this young man.”

“It seems like you are now interested in this young man as well,” Zhuo Buyi replied calmly, but he was staring at Fang Jie’s red eyes. Although Fang Jie couldn’t move, he was still trying to break free instinctively. At this moment, he suddenly groaned, and the redness in his eyes faded away. Then, his body twitched a few times uncontrollably.

Zhuo Buyi removed his technique on Fang Jie, and the latter turned soft and fell.

The young man’s face was pale like snow, and his body started to twitch after groaning. He tumbled on the ground with his hands on his abdomen, and he soon fainted.

Zhuo Buyi squatted down and looked at Fang Jie while frowning.

Then, he snapped his fingers, and the stillness in the building was removed.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Many people lost their balance and fell to the ground, but they didn’t shatter into pieces like how Fang Jie imagined.

In the chaos, Wang Ding wasn’t able to regain his balance, and someone appeared in front of him and slapped his face.

Bam! Wang Ding flew out like a cannonball and smashed into a table on the first floor, turning that table into pieces.

While everyone was in shock, a loud announcement sounded on the street.

“His Majesty has arrived!”
