#234 - Chapter 234 The News Brought by Gu Ning
Fang Che returned to the Emperor Plane and continued to collect soul fragments and read books on formations.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and the gourd once again stopped absorbing souls, emitting an aura that felt foreign to Fang Che.
Fang Che glanced at the gourd item and noticed that the aura at the entrance of the gourd was chaotic.
This indicated that the gourd item was blocked by foreign objects, which was different from the previous situation.
This time, Fang Che didn't need to set up a formation to attract soul fragments; he only needed to clear the foreign objects.
The so-called foreign objects were soul fragments that were not related to Fang Che.
Soul fragments were scattered throughout the Emperor Continent, and they often came into contact with other soul fragments, which easily led to the fusion of different soul fragments' auras, making them difficult to distinguish.
When the gourd item absorbed souls, soul fragments with similar auras would be absorbed.
However, because these soul fragments did not belong to Fang Che, they could not enter the gourd and were instead blocked at the entrance, forming a blockage.
The solution to this problem was not difficult; he only needed to release the soul fragments that had already been collected.
During the release of the soul fragments, they would wash away the soul fragments blocking the entrance and clear the similar aura on these soul fragments, preventing them from being absorbed into the entrance again in the future.
As for the released soul fragments, they could be quickly absorbed back in a short time, without wasting too much time.
Fang Che held the bottom of the gourd and slowly injected energy, and the formation patterns inside the gourd lit up one by one.
When the formation was completely lit, a sound of exhalation suddenly came from the mouth of the gourd.
The exhalation lasted for three seconds before disappearing, indicating that the soul fragments blocking the gourd's mouth had been cleared.
At this time, the soul fragments were still being released outward, but Fang Che could not hear the sound or see any traces.
Fang Che quickly withdrew his energy, and the gourd item once again gave Fang Che a sense of intimacy, and this intimacy was far greater than before.
At this moment, the gourd's blockage problem had been solved, and it was quickly collecting the soul fragments that had just been released.
A few seconds later, the sense of intimacy returned to its previous state, indicating that all the soul fragments released earlier had been recovered, and now the gourd was absorbing the soul fragments that had not been collected before.
Fang Che checked the gourd again, and after confirming that there were no problems, he took out materials from other planes, injected energy, and diffused the aura of the materials to drive away the soul fragments in this area.
After doing all this, Fang Che activated the transformation formation, changed his appearance, and went to the mission hall to accept assassination missions.
Now that Fang Che no longer had the Emperor Plane's retreat token, the Iron Hand Gang would no longer help Fang Che collect materials, and Fang Che could only rely on himself to collect them.
Now that a long time had passed since the Seven Stars Gang was destroyed, most people would no longer pay attention to those wanted criminals.
Fang Che wouldn't attract too much attention if he went to claim the rewards for eliminating these criminals now.
Fang Che strolled around the mission hall for a while and soon found a mission to hunt down a fourth-order wanted criminal.
Just as he was about to accept the mission, the mission token suddenly merged into the wall, and after a few seconds, the mission token re-emerged from the wall.
The criminal's appearance and life were still the same as before, but at this moment, the criminal's realm had changed from the fourth order to the fifth order, and the reward amount had also been increased.
At the same time, the token information recorded that the mission had already been claimed.
This meant that the criminal had just been promoted to the fifth order, was locked by the Emperor Plane, and was told to a suitable candidate to carry out the mission.
Fang Che looked away, re-selected a suitable mission, registered, and left.
Arriving at a hidden area outside, Fang Che took out the Seven Arrows Book with Nail Heads, kowtowed once, and successfully eliminated the criminal.
Just as he was about to hand in the mission, Fang Che felt a terrifying and familiar force approaching rapidly.
The next second, Fang Che saw a familiar person, this person was the Soul Manipulator: Gu Ning.
At this time, Gu Ning had already been promoted to the fifth order!
Back then, Fang Che had been promoted to the third order earlier than Gu Ning, but now, Gu Ning had been promoted to the fifth order, but Fang Che still had to collect soul fragments for a long time before he could meet the promotion standards.
Fang Che was not surprised by Gu Ning's rapid promotion speed, he was a Soul Manipulator, a child of the plane, and was favored by the plane.
Even if Fang Che had the cheat of having double eyes, he couldn't compare to Gu Ning.
Fang Che immediately cupped his fist and said: "Congratulations on your promotion to the fifth order, why are you here, sir?"
Gu Ning glanced at Fang Che and found that the threat that Fang Che posed to him had completely disappeared.
Fang Che's Seven Arrows Book with Nail Heads could no longer harm Gu Ning.
Gu Ning smiled slightly and replied:
"A criminal was promoted to the fifth order, was discovered by the will of the plane, and told me, so I came over to eliminate him, and I happened to sense your aura, so I came over to take a look."
Fang Che was slightly stunned, he didn't expect things to be so clever.
Fang Che smiled and didn't dwell too much on the criminal issue, he directly said:
"Recently, the speed at which I collect souls has been relatively slow, and I haven't been able to send them to you, I'm really sorry."
Gu Ning waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about these things, the matter of souls can be done slowly, I came here today to tell you a message, the hiding time for your cursed items is coming to an end."
Fang Che heard this and instantly remembered that Gu Ning had given Fang Che an item that could hide the cursed items he refined.
He didn't expect it to be time so soon.
Fang Che had never wanted to make these cursed items public, he didn't want others to stare at him.
If Fang Che's refining of the Seven Arrows Book with Nail Heads was exposed, many previous deaths might be associated with Fang Che.
Fang Che immediately asked: "Can you give me another material for hiding items?"
Gu Ning heard this and shook his head with a serious expression: "I'm afraid this won't work, a plane that is evenly matched with the Emperor Plane has already locked onto the Emperor Plane;
It is estimated that a large-scale war will break out soon, your Seven Arrows Book with Nail Heads has the power to change the course of the war, and it can't continue to be hidden."
Fang Che was a little worried when he heard this.
Since other powerful planes have already set their sights on the Emperor Plane, it means that there are very few weak planes left, and they cannot bring too much improvement to the plane.
The few remaining weak planes also mean that the difficulty for Fang Che to expand his real domain has increased exponentially.
Fang Che didn't want to see this happen, but unfortunately Fang Che couldn't decide these things, he could only take care of himself.
Fang Che said: "If I can't continue to hide the cursed items I refine, can the will of the plane find a new owner for the cursed items? I have offended too many people and don't want to expose these abilities."
Gu Ning heard this and said: "Wait a moment, I will communicate with the will of the plane."
Then, Gu Ning closed his eyes, and a vast and ethereal aura belonging to the will of the plane emanated from his body.
Fang Che stood aside, waiting anxiously.
