Invasion of the Heavens from Eternal Life

Chapter 44: Killing the Chicken to Frighten the Monkeys at Zidian Peak

As long as a disciple of the Yuhua Sect breaks through the realm of magical powers, he will automatically be promoted to a true disciple. He will be given an independent mountain as a cave, which is also a symbol of his status as a true disciple. For example, the one on Jinshitai is the Green Flame Peak.

Zidian Peak, a key peak in the Yuhua Immortal Mountain, rises thousands of feet. It boasts medicinal fields of Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, and tens of thousands of other elixir-bearing herbs. Cranes, iron-winged rocs, golden-crowned eagles, jade rabbits, peacocks, white tigers, and spirit apes thrive on the mountain. After Fang Qingxue achieved a breakthrough in the realm of magical powers, the peak was granted to Feng Baiyu, the head of the Yuhua Sect, as Fang Qingxue's personal mountain. Atop the mountain stands a palace, inscribed with a plaque: "Zidian Palace." It is magnificent and serves as Fang Qingxue's personal residence. Even with eight or nine hundred servants, it wouldn't feel crowded.

The next day, all the servants had arrived at the Zidian Palace.

Fang Qingxue sat upright on a chair in the Purple Lightning Palace, her brows furrowed slightly as she said, "Although Purple Lightning Peak is already my property, I'm usually too busy cultivating to take care of it. Let me first select a few reliable people from among you servants to take care of it!"

A deity like her would usually need ten days to half a month to go into seclusion, sometimes even several months to half a year. If such a long period of time was not taken care of, the medicinal fields on the mountain would become deserted, with spirit beasts running around and causing trouble, which would be unsightly.

Fang Han, Fang Qiang, Fang Man, and Fang Rui were called to the front amid the envious gazes of the crowd.

Fang Qingxue said, "Fang Han, Qingwei told me that you're quite good at raising horses. Then take two hundred and fifty people with you and be responsible for raising cranes, iron-winged rocs, and other spiritual beasts."

This servant was loyal and did not embezzle money, so Fang Qingxue naturally did not hesitate to entrust him with important tasks.

"Yes! Miss!" Fang Han said.

"Well. This is a spirit beast card. As long as you drop blood on it, these spirit beasts will listen to you. You can choose the person yourself later!" Fang Qingxue said again.

Then a palm-sized red light fell into Fang Han's hand. It was a jade plate with various animals carved on it, vividly, as if the spirits and souls of these animals were sealed on it.

The Fang family has strict rules and regulations. Fang Han is now in charge of matters related to spirit beasts and can be regarded as the chief steward.

This also aroused the dissatisfaction of many slaves, especially several extremely strong slaves, who were almost ready to kill anyone they chose. These slaves had originally held high positions in the Fang family. For example, the chief rent collector, who led thousands of people to the countryside to collect rent every year, was so powerful that even the county magistrate had to greet him respectfully. These people followed Fang Qingxue because they wanted to reap all the benefits, with only one wish: to get a lucrative job. Now, a mere horse groomer had occupied the high position they had always dreamed of, which made them want to kill. However, because Fang Qingxue was there, they did not act recklessly.

Fang Qingxue's face was cold and calm, and she said nothing. She liked Fang Han, so she promoted him. It was that simple. As a true disciple of the Yuhua Sect, her status was a hundred times more noble than that of a secular emperor. Naturally, she didn't care about the intrigues of mortals. Family matters were the business of mortals, as long as they didn't disturb her cultivation.

"Fang Qiang, you will be responsible for the food and cleaning on Zidian Peak, and select three hundred slaves. In addition, when I am in seclusion, you just need to deliver meals to my meditation room on time every day." Fang Qingxue continued to assign.

"Yes!"

Fang Qiang was the former head maid of the Fang family, and was also brought here by Fang Qingxue this time.

"Fang Man, you will select two hundred people to be responsible for the planting and harvesting of the eighty acres of medicinal fields, crystal fragrant rice, and purple lightning exotic flowers on Zidian Peak."

"Yes!"

A man with a sturdy build and sharp eyes stood up. He looked at Fang Han with a provocative look and murderous intent.

"Fang Rui, select two hundred people to manage the clothing, goods, and purchase all the necessary supplies."

Finally, Fang Qingxue said, "Just do your part and go do your own thing!"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Fang Han casually, and then he moved into the main palace of Zidian Peak. The door of the main palace also slowly closed.

Disciples of the Yuhua Sect are divided into outer disciples, inner disciples, and true disciples. Beyond these, there are also elders such as the Punishment Elders and the Cultivation Method Elders. Above them are the Deputy Sect Masters, and finally the Sect Master. Furthermore, the Yuhua Sect also has numerous Supreme Elders who cultivate in the "Golden Immortal Hall" within the Yuhua Heavenly Palace, deep within Yuhua Immortal Mountain. The appointment of each successive Sect Master of the Yuhua Sect requires the approval of the Supreme Elders.

The direct descendants of the Fang family were not there. As early as yesterday when they entered the Yuhua Sect, they were arranged by Fang Qingxue to enter the outer sect of the Yuhua Sect and become outer sect disciples.

After Fang Qingxue left, there was a commotion among the eight or nine hundred slaves. They had also heard Fang Qingxue's appointment. Some of the slaves were proud and unwilling to be inferior to others, and some felt dissatisfied. However, after all, it was the eldest lady of the Fang family who made the appointment, so some slaves did not dare to resist even though they were unhappy.

However, there were also some slaves who originally held high positions in the Fang family, but suddenly fell to the bottom and were controlled by others. Naturally, they were unwilling to accept this.

Fang Han, the horse-raising servant, became the focus of many people's attention.

"Haha! Young Miss, you're being too casual. This isn't good!" A sinister, sneering voice rang out, and a middle-aged man with a horse-like face, dressed in fine silk, emerged from the crowd. He flexed his muscles as he walked, making a continuous crackling sound, clearly a skilled martial artist. Many servants in the crowd made way for him, seemingly fearing him. This man was the former head of the Fang family's guards, named Fang Lie, whose cultivation had reached the fourth level of the Hardness and Softness realm of the physical body. Even the Fang family's illegitimate disciples were expected to treat him with respect. Fang Lie was deeply dissatisfied that he hadn't been offered the lucrative position of managing spirit beasts.

"What kind of thing is this? How dare you be on par with us!"

"There's going to be a good show~" Fang Man and Fang Rui on the side crossed their arms in front of their chests, looking gloating.

Seeing Fang Lie come forward, many servants simply stopped pretending and did not take Fang Han seriously at all in their words.

"You are just a horse-raising slave, and you dare to order me around? Wait until he goes home and feeds me for two years and his hair grows fully grown before you tell me anything!" An old and cunning servant named Fang Dafu looked at Fang Han with contempt.

"That's right! You're just a horse-raising servant. You were still a baby when I entered the Fang family. How dare you climb over our heads and become the chief steward of raising spiritual beasts?" Some servants sneered.

"Master Lie, teach him a lesson and let him know what respect and inferiority are! And what is high and low." A servant started to make a fuss without realizing the seriousness of the matter.

These people are all lawless and arrogant. They don't want a young boy squatting above their heads, so they all make sarcastic remarks.

Fang Qiang seemed to be hesitant to speak, and finally looked at Fang Han with concern.

"Haha! Boy! Give me the Ten Thousand Beasts Card! It doesn't belong to you in the first place. Otherwise, I don't mind crushing your hands and feet right now!" Fang Lie said sinisterly.

If the horse-raising boy dared to say "no", he would let him know what cruelty is.

"Huh? Crush my hands and feet? Interesting! You're done, not even the eldest lady can save you!"

Fang Han's eyes fixed, and the next moment, his figure was like a phantom, rushing directly towards Fang Lie, raising his foot and kicking him hard.

"Little bastard, I didn't expect you to secretly learn martial arts. If I kill you, the young lady won't say anything even if she finds out!"

Fang Lie was delighted, a cruel look appeared on his lips, and he wanted to kill Fang Han on the spot.

However, when he felt the unmatched force, his expression suddenly changed, but it was too late to dodge.

bang~
But then a dull sound was heard, and in the horrified eyes of everyone, Fang Lie's body was kicked dozens of meters away, hitting the pillar of the palace and spitting blood.

"what!"

"How can it be!"

"Hiss! Fang Han, how can he be so powerful!"

"Impossible! I must be dazzled!"
This sudden scene sent the onlookers into a frenzy of excitement. They hadn't expected a little-known horse-keeper to be so formidable. Even Fang Rui and Fang Man's expressions changed. If they had been dealt a similar blow, the consequences would have been even worse!
"Ahhhhhhh! Damn it, Fang Han, I'm going to kill you!"

In front of everyone, Fang Lie was kicked away in a miserable state. He felt ashamed and rubbed by Fang Han's feet, and he couldn't help but act like a madman.

His figure rushed directly towards Fang Han, reaching a distance of dozens of meters in an instant, but he flew backwards at a faster speed than when he came, and hit the wall hard.

bang~
Click~
The sound of breaking bones sounded.

His body slowly slid down the wall without a sound.

brush brush~
Phantoms appeared in front of the servants who had just spoken, snapping, snapping, snapping.
Almost at the same time, Fang Dafu and others were slapped hard in the face, their bodies were whipped away, their teeth fell to the ground, half of their faces were swollen like pig heads, and they lay on the ground wailing miserably.

"You guys want to provoke me too? I'm not very easy to talk to." Looking around and seeing everyone's frightened eyes, Fang Han grinned, revealing his neat white teeth.
