Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 2095 - 2077: Let Today’s Events Be a Lesson
But at this time, Jue Tiannan did not immediately pursue the matter with Elder Four and the others, but instead asked Fang Yan, "Why did you record these things in advance?"
"Sect Master, I report that the Great Elder and others have always been at odds with me, and everyone knows this. So when attending the banquet this time, I was extra cautious and used the Recording Spirit Stone as proof, so even if something happened, we could clarify it. I just didn’t expect this precaution to actually become evidence, otherwise, I, Fang Yan, would have been unable to justify myself no matter how hard I tried." Fang Yan clasped his hands and said, without defending himself. Everything he explained was factual.
Jue Tiannan nodded at this moment. This explanation made sense, and no one could find fault with it. He then asked, "Why did you drink from the same pot of wine as the Great Elder, yet you were fine, and the Great Elder was poisoned to death?"
The crowds around were staring at Fang Yan, realizing there was indeed something odd in this matter and wanting to know why Fang Yan wasn’t poisoned.
"Sect Master, I, Fang Yan, by a fortunate chance, have long been immune to all poisons, so no poison can affect me. If you don’t believe it, I can consume any type of poison at any time." When Fang Yan said this, he was full of confidence. He had the Annihilation Thunder Flame protecting him; it would be strange if he could be poisoned!
Upon hearing this, Jue Tiannan nodded again. He found it strange that Fang Yan was fine, while Qian Li was poisoned to death. He had witnessed Fang Yan drinking that poisonous wine, which was the Absolute Immortal Powder — even he dared not touch it. It turned out Fang Yan was immune to all poisons, including the Absolute Immortal Powder. No wonder Qian Li died at Fang Yan’s hands.
Then, Jue Tiannan’s gaze shifted to Elder Four. Looking at him, Jue Tiannan said coldly, "Elder Four, is this what you call Fang Yan poisoning the Great Elder?"
"Sect Master, Fang Yan... Fang Yan is lying. Fang Yan wasn’t poisoned at all; it was Fang Yan who poisoned the Great Elder afterward!" Elder Four immediately argued upon hearing Jue Tiannan’s words. At this point, he had no options left. Continuing to argue seemed to be his only hope of turning things around. If he admitted it, he would truly have no retreat.
"I poisoned the Great Elder? Look at this wine pot!" Fang Yan smirked coldly upon hearing this and immediately opened the wine pot in his hand, signaling to everyone. It turned out the wine pot had a special mechanism hidden in the cap, allowing one to poison the wine anytime.
This wine pot!
So the Great Elder was using this wine pot to poison!
Indeed, it was strange why nothing happened before, but something occurred later!
...
Seeing this, everyone understood. The Great Elder sought the perfect timing to poison; seeing that Fang Yan was somewhat drunk, he tried to poison him secretly. But who would have thought that Fang Yan was immune to all poisons, foiling the Great Elder’s plan and causing him to lose his life? If it were anyone else, they might have truly died, turning into a puddle of blood from the poison, which shows how potent the poison was!
"Sect Master, just because there’s a mechanism in the wine pot doesn’t prove the Great Elder poisoned it. We sincerely invited Fang Yan for dinner; you must stand up for the Great Elder!" Elder Four gritted his teeth and argued at this moment. But inside, he was panicking, having never expected Fang Yan to discover the problem with the wine pot. What should he do now?
At this time, before Jue Tiannan could speak, Fang Yan took over the conversation.
"This wine pot was in the Great Elder’s hand from the beginning; isn’t that proof enough?" Fang Yan paused slightly before continuing, "Since physical evidence isn’t enough, I’ll produce a witness."
As he finished speaking, Fang Yan’s eyes suddenly turned to Changyu, almost scaring Changyu to death. Cold sweat the size of beans rolled down his head, showing a guilty expression.
Seeing this, Fang Yan smiled calmly and then said to Jue Tiannan, "Sect Master, this man is immensely guilty. You could search Changyu’s soul directly; I believe you’ll get the answer you most want."
"Come forward!" Jue Tiannan, hearing Fang Yan, looked at Changyu and instantly understood Lin Feng’s meaning, saying coldly.
"Sect Master! I... really don’t know anything!" Upon hearing Fang Yan’s words, Changyu nearly fainted and immediately knelt down, saying. Now he had no retreat. If the Sect Master knew about the poison he gave to the Great Elder, leading to the Great Elder’s death, he would surely not survive. Instead of admitting and facing death, he might as well resist; perhaps Jue Tiannan wouldn’t search his soul, and that would give him a slim chance.
But his hopes were too high. Jue Tiannan, knowing full well it was Changyu’s doing, would surely search his soul, exposing everything to the world. Jue Tiannan’s expression grew solemn, suddenly shooting a sharp light. In an instant, Changyu was dumbfounded, standing like a piece of wood!
"Where did you get this poison? How did you plot against Fang Yan? Confess everything!" Jue Tiannan asked Changyu coldly.
"That day..." Changyu immediately began recounting the whole story in front of everyone, including how he presented the Absolute Immortal Powder to the Great Elder and how the Great Elder subsequently orchestrated the plan.
Beside him, Elder Four couldn’t believe how things had unfolded this way; he, too, had despaired...
So that’s what happened!
How could the Great Elder do this!
He actually used Absolute Immortal Powder against Fang Yan!
...
As everyone watched from the side, they finally understood the whole story. For a time, everyone felt sympathetic towards Fang Yan; no one expected things to turn out this way. The Great Elder actually tried to poison Fang Yan with Absolute Immortal Powder. If Fang Yan wasn’t immune to all poisons, he might have already died!
At this moment, everyone’s eyes were on Fang Yan, filled with shock. Before, they only knew that the poison was incredibly potent, but never imagined it would be Absolute Immortal Powder, which is known to kill any expert below the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Fang Yan was able to resist even Absolute Immortal Powder; this is simply unbelievable, too incredible to believe!
Finished!
Finished!
...
The Fourth Elder and others kneeling on the ground were already in despair. The truth was revealed, and everything they had done before was exposed. According to Sect rules, what awaits them is obvious. Their hearts are filled with regret now, regretting that they conspired with the Great Elder. If not for this, they wouldn’t have faced such a catastrophic disaster!
"Fourth Elder, do you have anything to say?" Jue Tiannan asked the Fourth Elder coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent. The overwhelming killing aura erupted from him, causing everyone around to shiver, showing how angry Jue Tiannan was at the moment.
"Nothing to say!" The Fourth Elder replied weakly. At this moment, what more could he say? Everything is exposed; what else is there to say!
"Very well!" Looking at the Fourth Elder, Jue Tiannan said in public, "The Great Elder conspired with the Fourth Elder and others to poison Fang Yan. The truth is revealed, and Fang Yan has nothing to do with any of this; it was all the doing of the Great Elder and others!"
Then, looking at everyone, he said coldly with a stern face: "Convey my decree: the Great Elder deserves his death; in consideration of the Great Elder’s considerable contributions to the Sect, he is allowed to be buried in the Sect cemetery, but not with the standards of an Elder! The Fourth Elder, knowing the Great Elder’s plot to murder Fang Yan and conspiring to harm him, his crime demands punishment. Considering the Fourth Elder’s Elder status, the death penalty is waived, but lesser punishment cannot be avoided. From today, he is stripped of his Elder position and sent to Flame Dragon Cave to repent for thirty years, and no one is allowed to visit!..."
This punishment!
Too severe!
...
Everyone shivered upon hearing Jue Tiannan’s words. They knew the Sect Master would definitely not let this matter rest easily, but they never expected it to be so serious. The Great Elder had already turned into a puddle of blood, that’s one thing, but stripping the Fourth Elder of his Elder position and sending him to Flame Dragon Cave to repent, this punishment is way too severe!
Be aware that Flame Dragon Cave has nothing but flame, and formations are set up inside. It’s a place usually reserved for those given extreme punishment. Once entering Flame Dragon Cave, it’s a nine-lived struggle, and this time the Fourth Elder is to repent for thirty years, which is almost tantamount to taking the Fourth Elder’s life. Moreover, it’s pure torture, making them shiver at the thought!
As for Changyu and others, none have a good ending either; the main conspirators are executed, and several others involved are given heavy penalties, their cultivation abolished and sentenced to hard labor for twenty years...
Now everyone finally understood the extent of Jue Tiannan’s rage today; such punishment hasn’t occurred in over a hundred years. Everyone’s heart is filled with shock, and there’s fear in their eyes as they look at Jue Tiannan!
As soon as the words fell, the Sect Enforcement Team, who had long been ready, immediately took away the Fourth Elder and others, following Jue Tiannan’s orders to execute.
"Fang Yan, now that this matter is over, do you have any thoughts?" Jue Tiannan asked Fang Yan, his tone softened a bit.
"Replying to the Sect Master, thank you for upholding justice. Fang Yan has no thoughts," Fang Yan replied with a deep bow to Jue Tiannan. This matter ends here, and he no longer has to worry about how Qian Li might deal with him. Moreover, through today’s events, he believes no one would dare to plot against him again.
"Disperse now. Today’s events should serve as a warning; if there is any harm to fellow sect members again, this Sect Master will definitely not spare!" Hearing Fang Yan’s reply, Jue Tiannan nodded in satisfaction, then said to everyone. After speaking, Jue Tiannan left with his people.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately dispersed, and even Fang Yan turned to leave at this moment, officially drawing the curtain on this event.
When Fang Yan returned to the Heavenly Court, it was already in an uproar. Now they all heard about the incident that just happened; Fang Yan is their idol and almost fell to the Great Elder’s hands. How could this not make them angry? If the Great Elder weren’t already dead and dismembered, everyone might have torn him apart!
