"Continue taking the medicine, until I tell you to stop," Fang Yuan instructed, then waved his hand and activated the [Soul Summoning] technique, attempting to summon Zhang Mingyang's soul.
He had been in this world for a while, but still didn't quite understand the situation.
He vaguely knew a few factions and needed to find a dead person to ask.
However, things didn't go as planned, as the Soul Summoning technique had no effect, not even a trace of a lingering soul appeared.
"Sigh, this world is really troublesome..." Fang Yuan sighed. The various techniques and supernatural powers he cultivated in the lower world seemed to have little effect here.
It was probably because his cultivation techniques were too low-level.
"Hm?"
At that moment, Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow and suddenly turned his gaze toward a distant spot.
A jade token flew out of a storage bag on its own, hovering in the air. A green light suddenly burst forth, spreading outward like ripples on water, seemingly scanning something.
The next moment, the green light stopped on Fang Yuan, and a chilling voice emerged from the jade token:
"Who are you? Where is my son?!"
Before the voice had even finished, the entire space began to tremble slightly, and the air became as heavy as lead, making it hard to breathe.
Just from the voice, the entire world seemed to change, showing the extraordinary cultivation of its owner!
Her son?
Fang Yuan was momentarily stunned, then realized that the voice's owner... was probably Zhang Mingyang's mother.
It seemed that the jade token was some kind of long-distance communication artifact...
Was it time for more work?
Fang Yuan immediately perked up and asked, "Madam, please calm down. Who is the son you're looking for?"
"My son, the Young Sect Master of the Sun and Moon Sect, Zhang Mingyang!" The voice from the jade token was filled with urgency and trembling, "Where is he? Tell me now!"
"Well..." Fang Yuan's lips curled into a faint smile as he casually shrugged, "Isn't he right here?"
"Where exactly is he?!" The voice of the woman, named Yu Heng, was almost going crazy, "You're holding the jade token, take me to him!"
"As you wish." Fang Yuan nonchalantly grabbed the jade token and suddenly smiled playfully, "But madam, which part would you like to see first?"
"Which part?"
"Yes." Fang Yuan's smile deepened, "After all, your son is now in pieces."
Before Yu Heng could respond, he threw the jade token forward. Through the jade's glowing light, she clearly saw the broken corpse not far away, and it was like a thunderbolt hit her.
She had still held on to a shred of hope, thinking that it might have been a mistake, but now... she clearly saw Zhang Mingyang's body!
Although it was now a pile of shattered remains, how could she not recognize her own flesh and blood?
"Who did this?! Who killed him?" Yu Heng's voice became distorted and almost frenzied, "It was you, wasn't it? You're the one!"
"Congratulations, Madam, you guessed right." Fang Yuan calmly adjusted his sleeves, his tone casual, "I killed Zhang Mingyang."
After a pause, he added, "If it's convenient, I hope you can come over too, so I can conveniently kill his mother as well."
"You... What did you say?!"
Yu Heng almost thought she had misheard. This murderer was standing calmly next to her son's corpse, and now he was even joking with her...
Her immense hatred almost drowned her reason. She could hardly wait to tear this man apart with her bare hands!
"Bastard... I want you to suffer a fate worse than death! I will pull your soul out and roast it in the Nine Nether Flames for a thousand years!"
"I will destroy your entire family! Eradicate your nine generations! Let everyone you care about suffer a hundred times worse than death!"
"Even if I have to chase you through the Nine Netherworlds, across the Three Realms and Six Paths, I will make sure you never find peace!"
However, in the face of her vicious curses, Fang Yuan simply listened with a faint smile, then casually said two words: "Reflect it."
"Reflect it?!" Yu Heng completely lost it. She had used all her strength to curse him for so long, and he responded with just one word?
Did he think this was a child's game?
At the Sun and Moon Sect, Yu Heng's red true Qi exploded from her body, her face contorting in anger.
Her eyes bulged, and veins popped on her forehead. Suddenly, she spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsing like a puppet with its strings cut, making strange choking noises from her throat.
It was clear she had been injured by her own fury.
"Madam Yu Heng!" An elderly man with white hair's expression changed drastically. He quickly used spiritual energy to lift her up. At this moment, the jade token once again transmitted Fang Yuan's voice:
"Madam, please calm down. After all, you wouldn't want to die of anger before avenging your son, right?" The boy's voice was lazy.
"Don't worry. I won't go anywhere. I'll just stay here and wait for the Sun and Moon Sect to come. I hope you won't disappoint me."
"Arrogant child!" The old man cursed inwardly, but seeing Yu Heng on the verge of going berserk, he had no choice but to cut off the jade token's connection.
No matter what, the murderer's appearance had been confirmed, and the Sun and Moon Sect would send out everything to seek revenge!

"Looks like the good deed value is on its way..." Fang Yuan toyed with the jade token, his mouth curling into a playful smile.
"Your Majesty, is there another problem?"
On the side, Ruan Tianhe, who had just taken some medicine, looked at him with concern. From the conversation, he had realized that the voice was from Zhang Mingyang's mother.
After all, Zhang Mingyang was the Young Sect Master of the Sun and Moon Sect, and now he was dead—how could the Sun and Moon Sect let this go? The pursuers would likely include terrifying experts at the Heaven and Earth realm...
"It's not really a problem, more like a performance." Fang Yuan smiled indifferently, turning to approach the corpse of the Poison Demon Lord.
He casually summoned his Earth Sword, skillfully handling the scorpion demon's shell, then summoned a blazing fire in his palm and began roasting the demon's body.
Ruan Tianhe watched in awe. As expected of His Majesty, even in the face of dangerous enemies, he remained so calm and even had the time to roast a demon lord!
Soon, the rich smell of roasted meat began to fill the cave.
The aroma made Ruan Tianhe salivate, and he couldn't help but watch Fang Yuan with eager eyes. Fang Yuan chuckled, casually breaking off a piece of the golden, crispy scorpion claw and handed it to him.
"Mmm... This flavor!" Ruan Tianhe took a bite and his eyes lit up, then he began to devour it.
Fang Yuan also started enjoying his meal. The flesh of this Poison Demon Lord was different from ordinary scorpions; perhaps because of its high cultivation, the meat was sweet like deep-sea king crab, chewy and juicy, leaving a lingering taste.
"Your Majesty, what are your plans next?" Ruan Tianhe asked, his mouth full, his words unclear. "Are we really going to sit here and wait for the Sun and Moon Sect to come looking for revenge?"
"Of course not." Fang Yuan leisurely tore off a piece of white scorpion meat. "Since we know they might come, why would we sit here and wait like fools?"
Ruan Tianhe nodded repeatedly, thinking to himself that His Majesty was indeed far-sighted. Against a giant like the Sun and Moon Sect, avoiding direct confrontation was the best strategy...
Just as he was admiring, Fang Yuan casually added, "Let's search this place again. If we don't find anything useful, we'll go directly to the Sun and Moon Sect's stronghold."
Ruan Tianhe: "..."
