Chapter 1933 - 1915: This Is for the Best
Who exactly is standing behind Fang Yan?
The masked figure pondered in place. From the beginning, when three Human Level Assassins died, to now, when even a Ground Level Assassin has been killed, if Fang Yan was responsible for the early deaths, then Tian Lang’s death definitely wasn’t his doing. The person who could kill Tian Lang must not be simple. Even if he couldn’t figure out who was behind Fang Yan at the moment.
Suddenly, the masked figure remembered something mentioned in the intelligence reports: Fang Yan was once saved by a mysterious person, and since then, Fang Yan’s strength has advanced by leaps and bounds. This can only mean one thing—the mysterious person who saved Fang Yan is real, is definitely a Super Powerhouse, and has been protecting Fang Yan all along!
Thinking of this, the masked figure had a plan in mind and said coldly to Three-Eyed, "This time you’re not to blame, but you won’t escape punishment. Report in the afternoon for fifty strikes of the Azure Dragon Staff!"
Upon hearing this, Three-Eyed was overjoyed, immediately kneeling and kowtowing, "Thank you, Master, for sparing my life. Thank you, Master, for sparing my life!"
At this moment, the masked figure waved his hand, then looked at the people kneeling below, and coldly commanded, "Don’t worry about Fang Yan. I have other arrangements. But because of Fang Yan, we lost four people; we can’t just let it go. Contact the person who issued the task and make him pay the price!"
After speaking, the masked figure disappeared from the spot...
Seeing the masked figure disappear, everyone present sighed in relief. The cold sweat on their backs had soaked their clothes. They truly hadn’t expected that their master would forgive them at this point. They couldn’t help but cast envious looks at Three-Eyed. Fifty strikes of the Azure Dragon Staff wouldn’t kill him; his life was spared.
But recalling the masked figure’s words, everyone quickly disappeared from the hall. Four of Hidden Kill were dead; their master wouldn’t let it rest. They didn’t know how their master planned, but they knew one thing: Fang Yan was doomed, and would die terribly. Hidden Kill still had three Heavenly Level Assassins, and their master was an unbeatable existence. No matter what, Fang Yan couldn’t possibly survive!
All they needed to do now was to follow the master’s instructions and extort the person who issued the task. They didn’t need to worry about anything else...
A day later, Fang Tianhan was in his room when he suddenly received a message from a Hidden Kill member, delivering a letter. The letter contained only one line: "Four times the reward within three days, or bear the consequences!"
"How can they be so shameless!"
Seeing the letter in his hand, Fang Tianhan’s face changed drastically. Gang Qi scattered from his hand, instantly shattering the letter. Unable to contain himself, he spat a mouthful of blood. He couldn’t believe that Hidden Kill could do something so shameless. Fang Yan wasn’t even dead yet, and now they demanded four times the reward within three days. What kind of scoundrels are they? They’re like robbers among robbers!
But considering Hidden Kill’s intimidating power, he was extremely distressed and regretful. Had he known Hidden Kill was like this, he would’ve never hired them to deal with Fang Yan, even with his life at stake! But now, it was too late. If he didn’t gather the reward within three days, Hidden Kill would certainly come after him—it wasn’t the first time such things had happened.
Thinking about the quadrupled reward, Fang Tianhan’s face turned terrifyingly grim. The treasure he had found before could at most cover double the reward, but he had no idea where to find the remaining amount...
He spent a full six hours in his room with a somber face. Finally, Fang Tianhan could only sigh. This matter absolutely cannot be known by other Fang Family members, and he cannot use the family’s wealth for the payment. Otherwise, he faced a dead end!
But just as he was about to give up, a thought popped into his head: there is a Tears of Blood Pill in the family. If he stole it, obtaining the rest of the reward shouldn’t be an issue.
Thinking of this, Fang Tianhan’s expression improved. The Tears of Blood Pill was no ordinary elixir, but a Heavenly Grade Elixir auctioned by the family, capable of greatly increasing one’s power within six hours without side effects. With this elixir, his plan could proceed smoothly.
Two days later, the Divine Sword Mountain Range and the major Prominent Families were all in turmoil. In these two days, they experienced frequent thefts, losing extremely precious items, disgracing the major families. Their treasured places were all guarded, even an ancestor was watching over one family, yet still, the treasures were stolen in a very short time.
This was clearly a slap in the face, and a hard one at that. Everyone knew the people capable of such feats in the Divine Sword Mountain Range could be counted on one hand—none of them ordinary, perhaps some of the top elite individuals or family ancestors, not exceeding ten in total. But there was no evidence, no way to guess who it was or to do anything about it!
Reluctantly, they expressed their fury. Almost simultaneously, all Prominent Families strengthened their guards, forbidding such disgraceful events from happening again. Their patriarchs personally took charge, vowing to catch the thief!
Meanwhile, Fang Tianhan sat in his room, pale and coughing blood, obviously seriously injured. It was incredibly dangerous to steal from the Prominent Families. He had only survived thanks to the Tears of Blood Pill; otherwise, he wouldn’t be alive. As for the stolen Tears of Blood Pill, he could blame the theft on the Fang Family.
"Fang Yan, all this is thanks to you. If I don’t kill you, I swear I’ll no longer be human!"
He muttered viciously, eyes filled with murderous intent. To deal with Fang Yan, he’d spent everything he had and even resorted to thievery, an act so shameless, because he had no choice. Otherwise, Hidden Kill would kill him, leaving him unable to seek revenge.
Glancing at the Space Ring now full, Fang Tianhan took out the Communication Spirit Jade...
...
In a blink, seven days passed. During this time, Lin Feng successfully integrated the Heaven Origin Secret Realm and the Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm, expanding the Shangyuan Soul Killing Formation to cover the consolidated Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm.
Seeing the nearly doubled Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm, Lin Feng felt much happier. The stronger the Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm, the stronger their future resistance against the Immortal Realm. After pondering a bit, he appeared in front of Wuchen Ancestor with a flicker of his form.
"Sect Master Lin, what brings you here?" Wuchen Ancestor was cultivating when Lin Feng suddenly appeared. He asked in surprise.
"I forgot to mention something before." Lin Feng said calmly, looking at Wuchen Ancestor. "Now that the secret realms have been integrated, I hope there won’t be any issues in the future. I established the Holy Wind Sect to unify all cultivators, enhance our strength and enforce orders. Our unified purpose is to resist the Immortal Realm. With this premise, I sincerely hope no one questions my decisions."
Wuchen Ancestor initially wondered what Lin Feng wanted to say. Once Lin Feng finished speaking, he smiled and replied, "Sect Master Lin, rest assured about this matter. I’ve already briefed everyone below. If anyone dares to question the Holy Wind Sect’s orders, I’ll be the first to act. These special times call for special measures. I understand this very well. If Sect Master Lin is still concerned, we can merge the Oblivion Sect into the Holy Wind Sect. I have no objections."
These words were genuine thoughts from Wuchen Ancestor’s heart. Resisting the Immortal Realm was the utmost priority, and he fully understood why Lin Feng founded the Holy Wind Sect. In such a context, if anyone dared to question Lin Feng’s decisions, not only Lin Feng, but even he would not agree.
"This is best." Hearing Wuchen Ancestor’s response, Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction. Then he said, "However, I won’t force Oblivion Sect to join the Holy Wind Sect. If you genuinely wish to do so, consult with the others. If they agree, I have no issue, but one thing must be stated in advance: After joining the Holy Wind Sect, all rules must be strictly followed. Any breaches will be severely punished."
"Of course, Sect Master Lin, rest assured." Wuchen Ancestor promptly replied, understanding that he would make the same decision regardless of Lin Feng’s advice.
Seeing Wuchen Ancestor’s agreeable decision, Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction, then asked calmly, "Ancestor, is there any difficulty you face? Feel free to tell me right away."
"Sect Master Lin, you are too kind. There’s nothing I’m troubled by. If there’s anything to rely on the Holy Wind Sect for, it’s that our two sects unite against the Immortal Realm infiltrating Earth. My Oblivion Sect’s power is too weak in this aspect, but we can assist as support, since we have quite a few members in the Oblivion Sect."
"In this aspect, Ancestor, you needn’t worry. After merging the secret realms, my Holy Wind Sect will naturally cover your side." Lin Feng replied simply, but then he recalled something and asked, "By the way, Ancestor, is there any special place on your side where I might seek some opportunities?"
Lin Feng had wanted to do this for a while. Last time in the Heaven Origin Secret Realm, he was pressed for time and hadn’t explored it thoroughly. He didn’t believe that a place with such a long heritage would lack unique spots. This time was a chance to see if he could enhance his strength.
