Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1918 - 1900: Obvious at a Glance

You must know that previously, when Fang Yan was at the peak of the Heaven Flipping Realm, he could already defeat Wu Chen. Now, possessing the strength of the Human Immortal Realm, with Fang Yan’s ability to challenge beyond his level, killing Fang Pu is not really too difficult. Even the Great Elder at the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm does not have the capability to kill Fang Yan. However, if the Great Elder and Fang Yan were to engage in combat, regardless of the outcome, it would not be good for the Sect.

At this moment, Elder Wang looked at Fang Yan and couldn’t utter a single word. This progression made him truly unsure of how to respond. He thought to himself that Fang Yan openly opposing the Great Elder would result in the Great Elder targeting Fang Yan in every possible way. Wasn’t it exactly this kind of situation that caused trouble for Shi Kuohai before? How could Fang Yan take such actions?

But now, since the words were already spoken, it was too late to stop them. He could only hope that Fang Yan wouldn’t say anything earth-shattering afterward, otherwise, he wouldn’t have a chance to help Fang Yan even if he wanted to...

"Fang Yan, do not be disrespectful! Great Elder, please remain calm; we are here to discuss matters today." Sect Master Jue Tiannan spoke sternly at this moment, "Fang Yan, let me ask you, was Fang Pu killed by you?"

Looking at Fang Yan, Jue Tiannan’s eyes were filled with confusion. Fang Yan appeared so calm, and according to the black-faced man, Fang Yan had returned to the Sect voluntarily and was not captured. If there wasn’t some hidden reason, how could Fang Yan have returned so willingly to the Sect? If Fang Yan could provide sufficient explanation, he must protect Fang Yan.

Upon hearing the Sect Master speak, Fang Yan respectfully bowed deeply to Jue Tiannan and said, "Sect Master, Fang Pu was not killed by me, but he did die because of me!"

Fang Yan’s voice was very clear, and instantly everyone in the Council Hall heard it distinctly. They didn’t understand what Fang Yan meant by saying he died because of him. What did that even mean? While everyone was puzzled, Qian Li suddenly stood up and said harshly to Fang Yan, "Died because of you? How could he die because of you? It must be you, this scoundrel, who schemed to kill Fang Pu. Sect Master, for such a person, there’s no need to ask anything; just execute according to the Sect’s rules!"

Qian Li was truly angry now. He wanted nothing more than to kill Fang Yan on the spot. How dare he talk to him like that? It was outrageous. He couldn’t understand where Fang Yan found the courage; it was truly over the line. If not taken care of, how could he hold his position as the Great Elder?

As these words came out of Qian Li’s mouth, immediately other Elders turned to look at Qian Li. Everyone could hear that Qian Li now wanted to kill Fang Yan. If the Sect Master wasn’t present, Qian Li might have already acted. In such a setting, speaking this way was truly inappropriate. Even in anger, you can’t speak like this. The Sect Master hasn’t spoken yet; it’s like overstepping boundaries and not respecting the Sect Master!

Sure enough, as Qian Li finished his sentence, Jue Tiannan’s face darkened, and he said coldly to Qian Li, "Great Elder, I am questioning Fang Yan, No need to interject."

This statement left no room for courtesy. In front of everyone, even if he held back, he couldn’t tolerate such behavior from Qian Li. If he didn’t speak up, where would his authority as Sect Master be? The more he looked at Qian Li, the more intent he was to kill him. If not for consideration of the ancestor, he would have long destroyed someone like Qian Li.

Upon hearing Jue Tiannan’s words, Qian Li’s body trembled, and his complexion changed. He realized that his previous words had indeed crossed the line, showing no consideration for Jue Tiannan in front of everyone. It was truly inappropriate. But he didn’t take it too seriously. What harm could it do? Aside from his master, who in the Divine Sword Sect could challenge him?

But he still had to show some respect, so Qian Li gave Fang Yan a fierce glare and stepped aside, no longer speaking. He wanted to see how Jue Tiannan would handle Fang Yan. If Jue Tiannan wanted to protect that brat, he shouldn’t blame him for being unyielding!

Seeing Qian Li step aside, Jue Tiannan’s expression finally softened a little. Then he looked at Fang Yan and asked, "Explain the situation in detail without any concealment."

"Actually, it’s quite simple. The Sect Master and all Elders will see it clearly."

At this point, Fang Yan said calmly, which made Jue Tiannan and the Elders very curious. What did he mean by saying "see it clearly"? While they were still confused, Fang Yan suddenly revealed a special waist token from beneath his clothes. When he turned the waist token around, everyone was shocked to find that it contained a Recording Spirit Stone!

Suddenly, everyone seemed to understand Fang Yan’s thinking. At that moment, Fang Yan injected Gang Qi into the Recording Spirit Stone, instantly replaying the scene at that time in the Council Hall...

This!

How could it be like this!

It turned out Fang Pu wasn’t killed by Fang Yan, but died from self-destruction...

...

Watching the replayed content on the Recording Spirit Stone, everyone at the scene was shocked. As time went on, they saw more and more content, and their expressions became increasingly remarkable because the content on the Recording Spirit Stone far exceeded their imaginations!

No one expected the battle to be so fierce; no one expected Fang Yan, merely at the Heaven Flipping Realm, to be able to use the third form of the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art; no one expected Fang Yan to break through to the Human Immortal Realm during the battle; no one expected Fang Yan’s power to become so terrifying after breaking through to the Human Immortal Realm; no one expected...

In short, countless things they hadn’t expected spun in their minds, and they were all stunned by the content of the Recording Spirit Stone. If they didn’t know that the Recording Spirit Stone couldn’t possibly be faked, they wouldn’t have believed that everything in front of them was real. To be able to force a Taoist like Fang Pu to self-destruction, such power is something they themselves couldn’t achieve. Fang Yan had become so formidable—who could stop his steps in the future?

After a brief shock, Elder Zhou and Elder Wang came back to their senses. They were also shocked by Fang Yan’s strength. They couldn’t have imagined that Fang Yan breaking through to the Human Immortal Realm would lead to such astonishing things. They couldn’t have imagined that Fang Yan could now use the third form of the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art—such terror is boundless. If they had known Fang Yan was already this potent, why would they have worried about him? With Fang Yan’s power, perhaps only true Earth Immortal Realm ancestors could pose a threat to him!

Watching such a scene, Elder Wang was also shocked by Fang Yan. He never expected that Fang Yan, just breaking through to the Human Immortal Realm, would have reached such an astonishing level of power, forcing Fang Pu to self-destruct. One must know that forcing someone to self-destruction is fundamentally different from killing someone. This only shows that Fang Yan’s power was far superior to Fang Pu’s; otherwise, such a thing could never have happened.

For a moment, his expression darkened as he assessed and considered his own strength, questioning himself if he could defeat Fang Yan. Realizing he might not have the confidence to kill Fang Yan, his expression grew even grimmer. Such an emerging talent posed a huge threat to him. He now regretted not acting decisively when Fang Yan first appeared. He should have seized an opportunity to personally eliminate Fang Yan, preventing things from reaching this state.

Fang Yan has already grown to this extent, and killing him now becomes even more difficult. But he can’t be blamed for it; who could have expected Fang Yan to suddenly advance to the Human Immortal Realm? Who could have expected Fang Yan’s strength to become so formidable? One must realize that Fang Yan is not yet twenty. Such a prodigy hasn’t appeared in the entire Eternal Joy Immortal Realm!

Suddenly, Qian Li remembered the previous attitude Fang Yan had shown him, realizing why Fang Yan dared to speak to him in that way. Fang Yan must have discovered something; otherwise, he wouldn’t dare speak to him, the Great Elder. A flicker of murderous intent passed through his eyes!

No, Fang Yan must be killed!

With this thought determined, Fang Yan had already noticed the signs. If someone like him is growing, it must be stopped now. Since Fang Yan is already this enhanced, who knows if one day Fang Yan could confront him directly. He wouldn’t allow such a potential enemy to grow up unchallenged. Even though Fang Yan is now difficult to kill, it doesn’t mean there’s no way to kill him. There will always be a way to eliminate Fang Yan...

Jue Tiannan’s face was also quite stunning at this moment, as Fang Yan’s capabilities were exceptionally astonishing. Such an extraordinary talent is worth the attention of any Sect. Knowing Fang Yan’s exceptional talent, he never expected Fang Yan’s abilities to be terrifying to such a degree. It can be said without exaggeration that not only is Fang Yan an unparalleled talent in the Divine Sword Sect unseen for hundreds of years, but in the whole Eternal Joy Immortal Realm, there’s likely no one else comparable to Fang Yan!

Moreover, through the Recording Spirit Stone, he understood the entire background of Fang Pu’s death, which indeed had little to do with Fang Yan. Fang Zheng’s death was his own doing, and the same goes for Fang Pu; it was because their power wasn’t as strong as Fang Yan’s. If Fang Yan were weaker, it would have been him who died. And the most crucial thing is that this was Fang Pu’s personal action, a private life-and-death duel. So, even if the Sect were to deal with Fang Yan, it wouldn’t be too severe.

Before long, Fang Yan finished playing the content on the Recording Spirit Stone, and everyone present in the Council Hall, including all the Elders and the Sect Master, clearly saw the entire course of events. Now all eyes turned to Jue Tiannan, wanting to see his opinion on the matter.

"All Elders have seen the course of events; share your thoughts." Jue Tiannan said calmly while observing the crowd.
