Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 1895 - 1877: Battle?
"Great Elder, I’ve observed over these past days that both Elder Zhou and Elder Wang are trying to make Fang Yan a Taoist, and the Sect Master’s attitude remains unclear. This situation is truly unfavorable for us!" The Fourth Elder proactively raised the topic. He had carefully observed that Elder Zhou and Elder Wang had met many people within the Sect, clearly working towards making Fang Yan a Taoist, something he absolutely did not want to see happen!
It must be understood that of the current ten Taoists, one has been missing for a long time, but it is still confirmed to be alive. As for why they haven’t returned, no one knows. Among the remaining nine Taoists, five are aligned with him and Great Elder, three are with the Sect Master, and one remains neutral.
If Fang Yan becomes a Taoist and the Sect Master wins over the neutral Taoist, our power in the Sect will surely be suppressed. Currently, among the eleven managing elders, already six are inclined towards the Sect Master. The fact that nothing has gone wrong yet is due to the presence of the Ancestor keeping things in check; no one dares act against Great Elder Qian Li. If we even lose the power over the Taoists, we will have no more leverage. Thus, no matter what happens, Fang Yan cannot become a Taoist.
"Great Elder, we all think the same way."
"Fang Yan is too extraordinary, such a genius must be dealt with, or in time, he will surely become a dragon among men!"
"No matter how talented, what’s worth it if dead, not even a worm!"
"Great Elder, please reconsider, Fang Yan indeed must be killed!"
...
Other elders nodded in agreement with Fourth Elder Song Liangde. They were all on the same line as the Great Elder, and could only follow him unwaveringly. That was the most correct thing for them to do. If the Great Elder’s line lost control, these few would lose their current powers too, something they could never allow to happen.
Hearing the Great Elder, Fourth Elder, and others speak, Great Elder Qian Li slowly stood up at this moment, waved a hand towards everyone, and then said: "We don’t need to discuss Fang Yan’s matter; this child must be eliminated! But how to do it is the real issue. It’s impossible to act within the Sect, so to kill Fang Yan, we must think of other ways."
"Great Elder, Fang Yan is not in the Sect right now, how do we deal with him?"
"That’s right, we don’t know Fang Yan’s whereabouts, how can we make a move? If we act, it will surely give others a handle against us!"
"The news I received is that Fang Yan once traveled to the Ice Abyss with Qin Kun and Wu Shan. But if we go there to kill Fang Yan, others might suspect us."
...
Other elders were quick to express their concerns upon hearing the Great Elder’s words. The situation was indeed complex. They wanted to kill Fang Yan, but every consideration seemed problematic. Even with one elder knowing Fang Yan was in the Ice Abyss, they had no good methods. Any voyage to the Ice Abyss would surely draw attention, potentially leading to disaster for them.
Moreover, they didn’t even know which layer of the Ice Abyss Fang Yan was on. Each layer was vast; even if they reached there, finding him would be difficult. The unique situation in the Ice Abyss made them more reluctant to engage Fang Yan there.
Upon hearing the elders’ concerns, Qian Li smiled and said: "Perhaps you’re unaware, but we also have people aboard the vessel. As long as we’re discreet, no one will notice. Once we arrive at the Ice Abyss, killing Fang Yan is simple — ambush at the exit. When he leaves, quickly dispose of him, and return quietly; no one will know anything happened."
The Great Elder’s words stunned everyone. None of them knew he had already laid these plans and even had someone aboard the vessel. The scale of his operations was enormous. Until today, nobody had realized the extent of the Great Elder’s preparations behind the scenes...
"Great Elder, who will go to kill Fang Yan?" The Fourth Elder asked at this point. Fang Yan was already incredibly formidable, requiring at least someone at the late Human Immortal Realm to handle him, given his overwhelming strength!
"You don’t need to worry about that; I have other plans. I called you here today to assign another task. Once Fang Yan is dead, the Sect will surely investigate. You must blame it on outsiders, as when Fang Yan is dead, there will be no evidence left." The Great Elder instructed the elders.
"No problem."
"We know how to handle it."
"We’ll claim Fang Yan provoked someone outside."
...
Having heard the Great Elder’s instruction, the elders readily complied. As long as they didn’t have to kill Fang Yan themselves, they were content. When the time came, they would just go along with things. Such a favorable setup was something they could hardly oppose.
Having spoken his piece, the Great Elder waved them out, leaving only Fourth Elder behind.
"Great Elder, are you going to have him take action?" Fourth Elder asked, regarding the Great Elder.
"Who else but him could act? Fang Yan is so powerful. We can’t use our Sect’s people without risking exposure." The Great Elder sighed.
"Very well, but he can only help us this one last time. After this, we won’t be able to ask him again." Fourth Elder pondered briefly before speaking. That individual’s power was immense, and using the last opportunity for Fang Yan seemed a waste.
"Forget it, just finish Fang Yan first. I can’t rest easy as long as he’s alive! You’ve seen it too; the Sect Master is already watching me. If I leave any handle, not even our Ancestor can protect me as Great Elder. We have no other choice at this point." The Great Elder sighed once more. If circumstances allowed, he wouldn’t have used that person, but circumstances were forcing his hand. He needed to survive the current crisis.
"A Heaven Flipping Realm kid causing so much trouble... What is this?" Fourth Elder lamented briefly before leaving.
After Fourth Elder left, Great Elder sat inside, his expression dark. After pondering for a long while, he helplessly picked up the Communication Spirit Stone...
...
At the Myriad Spirits Divine Fruit, Qin Kun and Wu Shan cultivated for nearly a month, making astonishing progress towards the late Heaven Flipping Realm. Despite their rapid advancement, they felt uneasy, as if their foundations were shaky.
So they voluntarily ceased cultivation to discuss the matter.
"Do you think we should find Boss?" Qin Kun asked Wu Shan, given the peculiar situation. He was unsure of the next step and wanted Fang Yan’s advice.
"I don’t think so; Boss might be facing something himself. We shouldn’t distract him." Wu Shan furrowed his brow. He also wanted to seek Fang Yan, but he was uncertain about Fang Yan’s current circumstances and hesitated to bother him. If issues arose from this, he wouldn’t forgive himself.
"But we don’t know what to do. Exploring the Outer Sect to stabilize through battles with Demon Beasts would be ideal, but we can’t leave here. If the Myriad Spirits Divine Fruit is discovered, we’re in big trouble." Qin Kun felt more troubled. The rapid yet hollow increase in strength was unbearable, and he wanted to battle Demon Beasts for stability.
"Battling?" Wu Shan moved his eyebrows upon hearing Qin Kun’s suggestion, then slapped his forehead, exclaiming: "We’re fools! Without Demon Beast opponents, we can spar with each other! Moreover, we can study the Divine Sword Heaven- Eroding Heaven Arts or Boss’s Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art. They’re just as effective!"
Qin Kun’s eyes lit up at Wu Shan’s words: "Right, how could I forget that!"
Previously, they fought Demon Beasts so continuously that their thoughts were stuck, believing continual battles were necessary, forgetting themselves. Realizing this, they grew excited. They hadn’t sparred against each other yet, and with the abundant Spiritual Energy here, it was perfect for practice. Even without sparring, they could focus on Cultivation Techniques.
With this new idea in mind, they moved to avoid disturbing the Myriad Spirits Divine Fruit and began sparring.
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
...
Sounds of thunder rolled as the two exhibited their skills in continuous exchanges...
After fighting for two hours, they finally stopped, the surrounding area in disarray. However, they hadn’t disturbed the Myriad Spirits Divine Fruit. Exhausted, they returned to the Myriad Spirits Divine Fruit to commence cultivation, reflecting on their duel experiences.
Once their Gang Qi recovered, a new round of combat began...
...
Antarctica, Extreme Cold Land.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, while cultivating the Nine Ice Divine Control Technique, Leng Mei erupted with...
