Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1906 - 1888: Countermeasures

But when he heard the words from Fang Yan, he was instantly stunned. How could he not know what Hidden Kill was? He never thought that Fang Yan would be targeted by Hidden Kill. He wondered who on earth wanted to eliminate Fang Yan to the point of involving Hidden Kill. It’s no exaggeration to say that there’s no one in this world that Hidden Kill can’t assassinate. However, Hidden Kill is a double-edged sword, a kind that inflicts a thousand self-injuries to deal a thousand to the enemy. To kill someone like Fang Yan, he couldn’t even imagine the cost. The fact that the opponent mobilized Hidden Kill to assassinate Fang Yan shows just how determined they are!

Looking at Fang Yan, his eyes were filled with worry. Compared to others, Shi Kuohai would rather these people were sent by someone than have them belong to Hidden Kill. Moreover, Fang Yan had previously killed three men in black, which means he has made a private vendetta with Hidden Kill. Having such a super assassin organization targeting him — don’t say Fang Yan is only at the peak of the Heaven Flipping Realm, even an Earth Immortal Realm powerhouse would find this pressure unbearable...

"Yes, their target is me." Fang Yan looked at Shi Kuohai and said seriously, "These men in black seem to have received a mission from someone within the Sect to kill me, but I can’t figure out who is plotting this. I know many people want me dead, but the appearance of black-dressed people from Hidden Kill shows how determined these people are to kill me. I just don’t know any clues now, but if there’s a trace, I will surely find out who is behind the scenes."

These are all Fang Yan’s speculations, but Shi Kuohai’s body trembled violently when he heard them, as if he had realized the problem. But he had no evidence, and it was really hard for him to judge anything, and he couldn’t tell Fang Yan about the problem either, to avoid causing big trouble.

"Fang Yan, I hope you don’t pursue this matter," Shi Kuohai advised Fang Yan with utmost seriousness, not wanting what happened back then to repeat itself with Fang Yan.

"Elder Shi, do you mean..." Upon hearing Shi Kuohai’s words and seeing his expression, Fang Yan seemed to have guessed something.

"Just do as I say, I would never harm you." Shi Kuohai shook his head, stopping Fang Yan’s follow-up. He really didn’t want Fang Yan to meet with any accidents. As long as Fang Yan did as he said, even if something happened, it wouldn’t be too dangerous.

But what Shi Kuohai thought didn’t represent Fang Yan’s thoughts. After a moment of reflection, Fang Yan said to Shi Kuohai, "Elder Shi, have you considered that even if I don’t investigate, those behind this may not spare me? And those black-dressed men of Hidden Kill have already acted against you; how could they spare me? Moreover, I’ve already killed three of Hidden Kill’s people, so whether I investigate or not, Hidden Kill will still target me."

After saying that, and seeing Shi Kuohai’s face change slightly, Fang Yan added, "So if we don’t investigate such matters, it’s like covering our ears while stealing a bell. I can’t agree with what you said, but rest assured, I won’t act recklessly."

Shi Kuohai sighed helplessly after listening to Fang Yan. Of course, he knew what Fang Yan meant, and he understood the situation was exactly as Fang Yan described. But he had no choice. Those men in black, if estimated correctly, should be from that group, and their power far exceeds anyone’s imagination. He had experienced it back then.

"Forget it, do as you see fit with this matter. Just be careful and prioritize your life," Shi Kuohai advised Fang Yan, as that was all he could do. As for whether Fang Yan would listen to him, he really had no way of ensuring that.

Fang Yan looked at Shi Kuohai, bowed deeply, and then moved toward the door. But just as he was about to reach it, he suddenly left a sentence.

"Elder Shi, the events of the past won’t happen to me, and your grievance, I will avenge for you."

After saying those words, Fang Yan left without looking back, leaving Shi Kuohai sitting there dazed. He never expected that after so many years, he’d encounter the same thing from the past. He hadn’t thought along these lines before, but now he’s certain that this matter is definitely connected to that person from back then.

With a helpless sigh, he, too, wanted revenge, but that person’s strength was not something he could contend with now. Moreover, the people behind that person were even more beyond his capabilities. He could only hope Fang Yan would exact revenge for him, but he also didn’t want anything bad to happen to Fang Yan. The complicated contradiction left Shi Kuohai at a loss.

Moreover, there was something Shi Kuohai didn’t ask Fang Yan about. By normal reasoning, Fang Yan should have already stepped into the Human Immortal Realm, so why hadn’t he broken through? There must be another mystery within, but he knew Fang Yan had many secrets. If his estimates were correct, there must be some special reason for Fang Yan suppressing his breakthrough. He just couldn’t think of the reason.

Forget it, let Fang Yan be!

Thinking of this, Elder Shi sighed again. Fang Yan’s growth had surpassed everyone’s expectations. With his current strength, Fang Yan was already someone others couldn’t imagine. Therefore, he shouldn’t interfere too much. He believed Fang Yan would resolve all the dangers. His intuition told him that Fang Yan had that capability, so why worry about so many things?

Turning to look at the bed, he truly couldn’t understand how Fang Yan managed to save him. In the case where other Elders of the Sect and elixirs were helpless, Fang Yan had saved him just like that. Even now, he felt it was somewhat unbelievable.

Outside the door.

Qin Kun and Wu Shan saw Fang Yan coming out and immediately approached him.

"Boss, how is Elder Shi?"

"How did Elder Shi get injured?"

The two questioned Fang Yan. They were genuinely worried about Elder Shi and didn’t know how Elder Shi was doing now. They also wanted to know how Elder Shi got injured in the first place.

"Elder Shi is fine now. As for this matter, don’t ask again in the future." Fang Yan looked at the two, speaking blandly. After saying that, he turned and left. It wasn’t convenient to talk here in the Outer Sect, and even if he wanted to, he needed a proper place.

But then he suddenly thought that if those men in black could search Elder Shi’s soul, they likely could do the same to his two little followers, since they couldn’t be by his side all the time. Thinking of this, Fang Yan’s brow furrowed slightly. Without turning, he said to his two followers, "You two come with me to my cave mansion."

After saying that, Fang Yan immediately headed towards his cave mansion, though he continued planning in his mind how to deal with those men in black and how to lure out the people behind them. His intuition told him that those men in black were definitely not ordinary people...

Qin Kun and Wu Shan, upon hearing Fang Yan, didn’t ask anything and quickly followed behind Fang Yan, entering the cave mansion with him. But they never expected that just after entering the cave mansion, Fang Yan waved his hand twice in the air, seemingly setting up a formation. This puzzled the two, as the cave mansion already had a formation. Why did the Boss need to set up another one?

While the two were in a daze, they heard Fang Yan speak.

"You two, come here."

Looking at the two, Fang Yan beckoned them over, his expression grave, saying, "Elder Shi was beaten to that state by someone, but that’s not what I meant. The person who attacked was a man in black, and if my guess is correct, that man in black is likely from Hidden Kill. But the most important thing is that their target isn’t Elder Shi, it’s me."

"What!"

"How could this be!"

Upon hearing Fang Yan’s words, Qin Kun and Wu Shan exclaimed in surprise, instantly breaking into cold sweats. They didn’t expect the situation would be like this, involving Hidden Kill. Who in the entire Eternal Joy Immortal Realm doesn’t know what kind of organization Hidden Kill is? It’s the only assassin organization in the entire Eternal Joy Immortal Realm!

And what’s even more deadly is that Hidden Kill can even assassinate Earth Immortal Realm ancestor-level figures; more than one Earth Immortal Realm powerhouse has died before. How did Boss get targeted by Hidden Kill? What on earth is going on here? If this matter is not handled well, Boss might be targeted by Hidden Kill for life. What should we do!

For Hidden Kill, the entire Eternal Joy Immortal Realm knows what kind of existence it is. You could say the very mention of Hidden Kill makes them shudder. They really couldn’t understand why someone would hire Hidden Kill to kill the Boss and perform soul searches on Elder Shi. But Elder Shi knew nothing, so even soul searches were useless.

But if they encountered those men in black and were soul-searched, it would be a disaster. Even Elder Shi couldn’t resist, so they would be even more helpless, likely exposing all of Fang Yan’s secrets. That would be extremely dangerous, easily imaginable even with a casual thought.

Thinking of this, both their faces changed drastically. They really regretted knowing so much about Fang Yan now. This time, they only went out because they were following Fang Yan. If they had stayed within the Sect, they might not have escaped the fate of being soul-searched. What should we do now! Surely, they can’t commit suicide just to preserve the Boss’s secrets?

"You two should know what I mean by now. But rest assured, I don’t intend to kill you, merely to apply some special methods to you to block anyone from soul-searching you." Fang Yan looked at them and said calmly. Calling them over, this was his intention all along. In the inherited memories from his true body, there was a particularly secret technique, just suitable for the current situation.

"Boss, go ahead!"

"Good thing we’re following the Boss. If we were following someone else, we’d be dead!"

Hearing what Fang Yan said, Qin Kun and Wu Shan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said happily. As long as their lives weren’t in danger, they didn’t mind anything else. After all, they didn’t want to be soul-searched by others either, so this way, it would be safer. Why wouldn’t they be willing?
