Chapter 2447: Threads of Karma

The city lord’s estate, a huge structure, had disintegrated under Jian Chen’s sword Qi .

The surroundings around the city lord’s estate had already become packed . The disturbance there was just too great, so it had alarmed the entire city . All the cultivators with a certain level of strength had gathered around . They stood far away as they blankly stared at the structure that had vanished . They were in emotional turmoil .

Not only was the city lord’s estate the existence that controlled the entire city, but it was also the representative of the Gloomwater sect established here . It possessed a tremendous background .

However, the entire place had actually been flattened . People could not be more shocked right now .

Everyone’s gaze gathered on the young man in white, fluttering robes . Admiration, shock, fear, and dread all appeared in their eyes .

“Fang Jing’er, you don’t need to worry about the people of the city lord’s estate causing you any more trouble . ” Jian Chen’s face did not change . He remained calm and composed . He turned around and spoke to the young lady behind him .

However, Fang Jing’er did not seem to hear Jian Chen’s words . Wide-eyed, she stared straight at the city lord’s estate that had been reduced to open ground . Disbelief filled her face .

The city lord’s estate was an indomitable, holy place in Fang Jing’er eyes . They were the absolute ruler of Scarlet Water City, and no one dared to defy their orders .

But now, the god-like city lord’s estate had vanished completely right before her; this left Fang Jing’er dazed for quite some time .

She had never expected that the ‘young senior’ who had just bought a crude map from her was actually a terrifyingly powerful expert .

However, at this moment, Jian Chen’s eyes suddenly narrowed . He stared straight at Fang Jing’er .

He saw strands and strands of karma on Fang Jing’er . Every single thread led off into a different direction .

Though this was nothing . Karma was everywhere in the world . All cultivators would be bound by karma to a certain degree . However, aside from supreme experts who had reached an exceptional level of cultivation, only those who had comprehended the Way of Karma could see these threads .

Jian Chen had comprehended the Way of Karma from the Samsaric Immortal Exalt in the Neptunean Divine Palace, so he was able to see these threads .

First, he had bought a map from Fang Jing’er, and then he saved her from the people of the city lord’s estate . Now that he had destroyed the city lord’s estate in a single stroke because of what happened with Fang Jing’er, there was karma between the two of them .

But to Jian Chen’s surprise, the thread of karma between him and Fang Jing’er was extremely thick . From how strong the thread appeared, it seemed to greatly exceed the level of acquaintances . It was thousands of times more than that .

“This…” Jian Chen was stunned and bewildered . Why was his thread of karma with Fang Jing’er so strong?

Jian Chen looked at Fang Jing’er deeply . The light in his eyes flickered; he felt uncertain .

A while later, he said, “Fang Jing’er, let’s go to see your grandfather . ” With that, Jian Chen waved his hand, and the Laws of Space permeated his surroundings . He had already vanished with Fang Jing’er .

He could see Fang Jing’er’s threads of karma, so he already knew exactly where her grandfather stayed in Scarlet Water City .

“Sigh,” Xu Ran sighed gently as she looked in the direction that Jian Chen and Fang Jing’er had vanished in . Afterwards, she vanished as well .

In an extremely quiet place within Scarlet Water City, there was a small stone hut constructed from a messy pile of rocks . It was gloomy inside, and the place had a slight stench .

At this moment, the space before the stone hut suddenly pulsed, and Jian Chen and Fang Jing’er appeared there silently .

“Ah!” Only now did Fang Jing’er return to her senses . She looked at the stone hut she had lived in for over a decade, and she could not help but cry out .

Was she not at the city lord’s estate earlier? How had she suddenly returned home?

Fang Jing’er felt like she was dreaming .

“Let’s go in and see your grandfather,” said Jian Chen . His thread of karma with Fang Jing’er was so thick, so he began to treat Fang Jing’er differently as well .

Although he had no idea why his thread of karma with her was so thick, he did understand that his relationship with her was not as simple as mere acquaintances .

Fang Jing’er glanced at Jian Chen fearfully . After hesitating slightly, she pushed open the small, damaged, wooden door and entered .

The stone hut was very small and very dim . Close to a corner, a pale old man lay on a stone bed powerlessly . The floor beside him was covered with dried blood . The stench came from the blood .

Fang Jing’er seemed to have grown accustomed to the stench, so she did not show any disgust at all . She arrived beside the old man as soon as she entered the stone hut, and she showed deep care and sorrow .

“Grandfather, grandfather, I’m back…” Fang Jing’er called out softly as if she was afraid of scaring the old man by being too loud .

The old man’s eyelids trembled gently from the voice . Finally, he opened them with great difficulty, revealing a pair of gloomy eyes .

Jian Chen stared at the old man . He wanted to see whether his thread of karma with Fang Jing’er was related to the old man or not .

However, in the end, he was disappointed . He had no threads of karma with the old man at all .

In other words, the old man had nothing to do with him before he had come here .

“Jing’er, you’re back . You haven’t been abused these days you spent outside, right…” said the old man weakly . His eyes were filled with love and shame .

Fang Jing’er shook her head . “Grandfather, I’ve already sold nine maps this month . I only need to sell one more map, and I’ll be able to buy a pill for you so that you can live another month . Don’t worry, grandfather . I will definitely work hard on selling maps . Once I make enough divine crystals, I’ll buy the better pills so that grandfather can completely recover . ”

“Let your grandfather ingest this pill . Not only can this pill completely heal your grandfather’s wounds, it can also let your grandfather make great progress in his cultivation,” said Jian Chen . He passed a thumb-sized pill to Fang Jing’er .

“You’re actually giving a God Tier pill to a cultivator who’s only a Saint Emperor . You sure are wasteful,” Xu Ran could not help but mutter from outside the stone hut .

“T- thank you, senior!” Fang Jing’er accepted the pill from Jian Chen in surprise and joy before feeding it to her grandfather excitedly .

Immediately, surging energy enveloped the old man . The effects of the God Tier pill kicked in, wrapping around the old man as a faint mist .

“It’ll only take a few seconds for your grandfather to make a complete recovery . However, the pill is very powerful, so the remaining power will increase your grandfather’s cultivation . As a result, not only will your grandfather will not awaken immediately after recovering . He’ll spend some time cultivating,” Jian Chen said to Fang Jing’er . After a moment of hesitation, he took out a cultivation method and a few cultivation resources from his Space Ring and passed it to Fang Jing’er . He said, “From today onwards, don’t sell maps anymore . Find a quiet place and cultivate . Only by becoming powerful can you survive in this world . ”

“T- thank you, senior . I will definitely return senior’s kindness in the future…” Fang Jing’er teared up in gratitude .
