Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 1888 - 1870: What Could Possibly Happen to Me
When Fang Yan was trapped inside the Myriad Ice Tower, a different situation was unfolding at the Divine Sword Sect, where Feng Lun and others from the Heavenly Court were gathered together.
"What should we do? Fang Yan must be killed. If the Taoists return and discover Fang Yan’s strength, our chances of becoming Taoists will be even slimmer, and our respective Prominent Families will be suppressed. Fang Yan’s survival impacts us greatly..."
"My family has already sent word, stating that no matter what, Fang Yan must be killed. But since Fang Yan is no longer at the Heavenly Court, how are we supposed to kill him? We can’t just go to the Heaven Demon Forest, can we?"
"How is that possible? Although our strength is decent, we can’t compare with those old monsters in the Heaven Demon Forest. Chasing Fang Yan there is a sure way to die. We must think this over carefully..."
"I think so too. The Taoists should return soon. We don’t have much time..."
...
Everyone sighed deeply, racking their brains to come up with a way to kill Fang Yan. They knew they represented not only themselves but also their families. Fang Yan’s sudden rise had disrupted their original plans, so they urgently wanted him dead. They all knew one thing, once Fang Yan returned, he might have already broken through to the Human Immortal Realm. At that point, even if they wanted to make a move against him, it would be impossible.
However, the problem was that they had no idea where Fang Yan was. This made them incredibly frustrated. Without Fang Yan’s whereabouts, even thinking of a plan against him was futile. Everyone knew how dangerous the Heaven Demon Forest was. Asking them to go there, even with their Human Immortal Realm strength, would be in vain. The forest likely housed Demon Venerable Realm beasts. If they encountered any, they wouldn’t even have time to run. It’s not that they didn’t want to kill Fang Yan; they simply didn’t have the capability right now.
"Regarding Fang Yan, we can only wait and prepare. Sooner or later, he will come out of the Heaven Demon Forest, but making a move on the forest’s outskirts will surely alert the sect. Therefore, attempting anything outside the sect is impossible."
Hearing these words, Feng Lun shook his head and said that although, given Fang Yan’s current strength, they might be able to kill him if they all acted together, it would undoubtedly draw the sect’s attention. After all, the impact of so many Human Immortal Realm powerhouses fighting is enormous. Assassinating Fang Yan in the Heaven Demon Forest was even more impossible since the forest would not allow so many Human Immortal Realm powerhouses to enter. Trying to act outside the sect was simply not an option!
"So what should we do?"
"Yeah, we can’t act outside the sect, and acting within is even more out of the question!"
"Damn it, why is this Fang Yan so strong? Now that he’s not here, nothing works!"
...
Frustrated, everyone began speaking again after hearing Feng Lun’s words. It was genuinely frustrating for them. Watching Fang Yan rise and affect their lives made them resent being suppressed by this immature brat.
"Just because we can’t act doesn’t mean others can’t. I’ve heard that Wu Chen is returning. If Wu Chen learns about Fang Yan, what do you think he’ll do?" Feng Lun asked, looking at everyone with a shrewd glint in his eye.
"Wu Chen is coming back!"
"Oh God, that’s good news!"
"If Wu Chen learns about Fang Yan, that would be great!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
"I reckon we won’t need to do anything but watch!"
...
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up and they became excited. None of them had expected Wu Chen to return. Mentioning Wu Chen intimidated them. Two years ago, Wu Chen was ranked tenth among the Taoists. Back then, he could defeat Li Jingyun in less than three moves—an absolute domination. Now, two years have passed, and no one can imagine how much Wu Chen’s strength has improved.
Moreover, the most important point is that Wu Chen belongs to the Wu Family, which previously suffered a significant loss at Fang Yan’s hands. Even the Young Master dealt with Fang Yan. There’s no way the Wu Family would let this go. Thus, once Wu Chen connects with the Wu Family, Wu Chen challenging Fang Yan is a foregone conclusion. This way, they wouldn’t have to lift a finger; Wu Chen would kill Fang Yan, and any consequences would fall squarely on Wu Chen. Everyone knows Wu Chen’s temperament; his hot-headed nature doesn’t consider consequences.
"We can’t rely solely on the Wu Family; we must also..." Feng Lun nodded on the side, contemplating for a moment before providing a more detailed plan. He wanted Wu Chen to lose his reason and kill Fang Yan recklessly, but relying solely on the Wu Family was insufficient. Additional provocation was necessary, and he knew exactly where to apply this pressure.
"Brilliant!"
"It’s so damn high!"
"Lun Shao, your idea is simply brilliant!"
"This way, Wu Chen will definitely turn into a mad dog and fight Fang Yan to the death!"
...
Everyone was truly excited at this point. Of course, they understood what Feng Lun was implying. If they really did it, no one would know it was them, and everyone would focus on Fang Yan. At that time, Wu Chen would absolutely go all out against Fang Yan. Given Wu Chen’s terrifying strength, Fang Yan wouldn’t stand a chance. After that, there would be nothing left to worry about...
After speaking, everyone started snickering, imagining how Fang Yan would be killed by Wu Chen...
...
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Wu Family Patriarch, Wu Xingchen, came out of seclusion. When he heard from Wu Lengping about the events that had transpired recently, he was furious. He could never have imagined that the esteemed Wu Family was consistently being overshadowed and outmaneuvered by a mere Fang Family kid, tarnishing the Wu Family’s reputation!
Wu Xingchen couldn’t understand how Fang Yan, just a kid from a side branch of the Fang Family, could grow so strong so quickly. It was abnormal. Even the most extraordinary genius couldn’t reach such a level without countless heavenly treasures, which went against the norms of the Cultivation World.
Moreover, the Heaven Demon Forest’s attitude towards Fang Yan was particularly puzzling. To protect Fang Yan, they isolated the entire Wu Family, barring them from entering the Heaven Demon Forest. This raised even more questions. Without access to the Heaven Demon Forest, where would the Wu Family obtain their cultivation resources? Relying on other sources was simply unsustainable.
After a moment of serious contemplation, Wu Xingchen, with his full head of gray hair and small stature, a wisp of silver beard hanging on his chest, finally said to Wu Lengping, "I will go to the Heaven Demon Forest and ask those old fellows what’s really going on. Until I return, do not act rashly."
"Yes, Patriarch, I understand," Wu Lengping replied immediately, looking at Wu Xingchen. Previously, with Wu Xingchen in seclusion, he had no way to inform the Patriarch. Now that the Patriarch was taking action, it should be clear soon what was stirring Fang Yan’s vitality. If the Patriarch was heading to the Heaven Demon Forest, so be it. After all, the Patriarch is truly an Earth Immortal Realm Powerhouse, so there shouldn’t be much danger even against those clever demon beasts. Thus, they weren’t worried about Wu Xingchen’s safety.
Wu Xingchen glanced at Wu Lengping and with a swift motion, disappeared from the room...
Seeing the Patriarch disappear, Wu Lengping let out a sigh of relief, and went out to handle family affairs. He knew the Wu Family was in a tricky period, with most of the Prominent Families watching their every move. At this time, the Wu Family couldn’t afford chaos; if they fell into disarray, everything would indeed fall apart.
What Wu Lengping didn’t expect was that the Patriarch, Wu Xingchen, returned just two days later, and from the look on his face, something was off. He immediately became anxious and hastily asked, "Patriarch, are... are you alright?"
Looking at Wu Lengping, Wu Xingchen’s face was exceedingly dark. He coldly said one sentence, "There’s nothing wrong with me, but don’t go to the Heaven Demon Forest anymore!"
After throwing out these words, Wu Xingchen left, leaving Wu Lengping standing there in a daze. Even with the Patriarch stepping in, this was the result, without even knowing the reason. What kind of situation is this...
What he didn’t know was that Wu Xingchen had already returned to his residence, and after closing the door, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Thinking back to everything he experienced in the Heaven Demon Forest left him with lingering fear. True, he was an Earth Immortal Realm Powerhouse, but only at the early stage. Facing the attack of five Demon Venerable Realm demon beasts in the Heaven Demon Forest, it was already a great fortune that he was able to return alive!
Now, he couldn’t figure out how the Wu Family had offended the Heaven Demon Forest to provoke an unspoken attack from five Demon Venerable Realm beasts, refusing even the slightest chance to clarify the situation. He was nothing short of frustrated beyond words; he had gotten injured without even knowing why. It seemed as if the Heaven Demon Forest was destined to be an enemy to the Wu Family!
Helpless, he couldn’t afford to care anymore, raising his hand to wipe the bloodstains off the ground with Gang Qi. Then, he swallowed an elixir and focused on healing himself. He was the mainstay of the Wu Family and couldn’t fall. If he fell, the Wu Family would decline...
...
Lin Feng spent a few days in the Arctic, and, quite astonishingly, was soon surrounded by four or five polar bears. They gathered around Lin Feng, appearing very friendly as they playfully frolicked before him.
A faint smile appeared on Lin Feng’s lips as he walked across the ice fields with these polar bears. Along the way, these bears even spontaneously caught fish for Lin Feng, which made him even happier. He willingly grilled the fish and shared it with the polar bears, making them even more excited, as they frantically caught more fish.
Thus, Lin Feng spent several days with the polar bears, before bidding them farewell, returning to human society. He strolled across various places in Huaxia, absorbing the diverse cultural atmosphere and harmonious life, which stirred his thoughts continuously. He felt on the verge of grasping something, yet unable to seize it.
