Chapter 1961 - 1943: The Reason
Thinking about the consequences of the ancestor’s surrender, their faces instantly turned even gloomier. The Sect Treasure Vault is the foundation of the sect. If it were to be taken away like this, they would really be unwilling, but under such circumstances, there’s nothing they can do even if they’re unwilling.
Listening to the voices of the crowd, Ancestor Zhenxue waved his hand, signaling them to stop talking. If he could kill Fang Yan, why would he make such a decision? It’s a fact that his strength is inferior; for all the sect members, he, as the ancestor, had no other choice.
Fang Yan looked at Ancestor Zhenxue’s actions, nodded, and said, "Lead the way, we only want the items, not to harm anyone."
Hearing Fang Yan’s words, Ancestor Zhenxue showed helplessness on his face, sighed and said no more, immediately leading Fang Yan and Wang Chang into the Sect Treasure Vault. This made the hearts of Dust Snow Sect’s members bleed. The sect’s heritage accumulated over a thousand years had completely vanished in an instant, such a painful feeling was truly bitter.
Fang Yan and Wang Chang didn’t hold back. As soon as they entered the Sect Treasure Vault, they packed up all the items and then left Dust Snow Sect together...
Watching from afar as Fang Yan and Wang Chang left, the people of Dust Snow Sect clenched their fists tightly in anger. Although there was no loss of personnel, the foundation of Dust Snow Sect was destroyed. It is virtually impossible to regain their former strength without decades or even a century of effort.
"Everyone disperse, from now on Dust Snow Sect is closed, no one is allowed to leave." Ancestor Zhenxue glanced at the sect members and, dropping a simple sentence, left. Under these circumstances, that’s all he could do. Restoring Dust Snow Sect’s strength would take several years, if not decades, and that’s an undeniable reality.
Seeing Ancestor Zhenxue turn and leave, the members of Dust Snow Sect also departed one by one, but everyone’s face was clouded with worry. After this incident, Dust Snow Sect was greatly wounded, and all because of a youth who appeared to be around twenty years old, making everyone feel dejected.
Flying in the air, Wang Chang couldn’t hold back and asked Fang Yan who was beside him, "Fang Yan, how did you control those ice longswords from Dust Snow Sect earlier?"
Looking at Fang Yan, Wang Chang truly wanted to know what happened. Thinking back to that scene, his heart was still overwhelmed with shock. Defeating an entire sect with one move, causing the ancestor to admit defeat—he knew he couldn’t achieve it. So he was very curious how Fang Yan controlled those ice longswords.
"How else could I control them? That’s just how I did it," Fang Yan replied with a smile.
"..." Wang Chang was speechless upon hearing Fang Yan’s response, looking at Fang Yan’s expression which was indescribably fascinating.
"Alright, no more jokes. Actually, achieving that earlier scene was really easy. I had previously explored Emperor Hong Bing’s legacy estate and gained his inheritance, and Emperor Hong Bing’s Nine Ice Divine Control Technique is the nemesis of all ice attribute cultivators in the world. That’s why the attacks from those ice attribute cultivators were ineffective against me." Fang Yan explained, seeing Wang Chang’s expression.
"Emperor Hong Bing... Nine Ice Divine Control Technique..."
Hearing Fang Yan’s words, Wang Chang was instantly dumbfounded. He couldn’t believe Fang Yan had such fortune, having explored the legacy estate of an ancient powerhouse and obtained their inheritance. Such luck was off the charts! No wonder Fang Yan was so formidable!
Now Wang Chang is genuinely jealous of Fang Yan, who was already overwhelmingly powerful, and now he possessed the Nine Ice Divine Control Technique—a technique inherited from an ancient powerhouse! This means Fang Yan’s real combat capabilities cannot be guessed by anyone!
Fang Yan, who could kill Fang Pu with the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art, now also possesses the Nine Ice Divine Control Technique—a transcendent spell inherited from an ancient powerhouse. Such good fortune is unprecedented in the entire Eternal Joy Immortal Realm; Wang Chang just doesn’t understand how all the luck befell Fang Yan!
Now he realized one thing: Fang Yan is a monster, a super monster. Although he is a Taoist, he knows his own strength is far from being Fang Yan’s match. Fang Yan’s growth is inhuman, surpassing all expectations, beyond imagination!
"Fang Yan, where did you encounter Emperor Hong Bing’s legacy estate? I want to go see it too." Unable to find words to express, Wang Chang suddenly tried to shift the topic, wanting to know where Fang Yan encountered the legacy estate of an ancient powerhouse. If possible, he’d like to visit it too.
Upon hearing Wang Chang’s request, Fang Yan immediately laughed, but he didn’t mind, casually replied, "Fourth layer of Ice Abyss."
"Fourth layer of Ice Abyss, fine, I’ll find the time to check it out." Wang Chang initially didn’t pay much attention, casually agreed, but after speaking he immediately realized the implications of Fang Yan’s words, exclaimed in horror, "What, you said it’s the fourth layer of Ice Abyss!"
Wang Chang was genuinely amazed by Fang Yan’s words. What kind of place is the fourth layer of Ice Abyss? It’s a location only accessible by those above the Earth Immortal Realm! Fang Yan is just at the Human Immortal Realm, and he could enter the fourth layer—who could believe this!
"No need to be so surprised. Have you forgotten I know the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art? Although the cold in Ice Abyss is formidable, with the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art protecting me, I have no problems in the fourth layer." Fang Yan knew why Wang Chang was surprised, so he simply explained.
"I see... that’s how it is." Hearing Fang Yan’s explanation, Wang Chang finally breathed a sigh of relief. So Fang Yan entered the fourth layer of Ice Abyss with the help of the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art. This makes sense; the power of the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art is unimaginable to ordinary people, allowing Fang Yan to stay unharmed in the fourth layer.
However, for Wang Chang, this realization was even more upsetting. He doesn’t know what the fourth layer of Ice Abyss looks like, but he knows the third layer—only with his current strength can he manage it without any issues. He can only wait until he becomes an Earth Immortal to explore it further, making the prospect of exploring that legacy estate indefinitely postponed. He himself doesn’t know when he will break through to the Earth Immortal Realm.
"Senior Brother, you’ve been in the Sect for a long time, can you tell me about the Great Elder?"
"What aspects do you want to know about?"
"Anything is fine, I don’t understand why the Great Elder is targeting me."
"To put it simply, your appearance has harmed the interests of the Great Elder, that’s why he’s targeting you."
"How so?"
"In our Sect, the ten Taoists are all people of the Reserve Elders and the Sect Master; you know this. Those ranked twelfth to twentieth in the Heavenly Court are all under the Great Elder. Originally, the Great Elder wanted these people to become Taoists, so his influence would be even stronger. But your appearance has disrupted his plans, so he’s targeting you."
"The Sect Master is just letting the Great Elder do as he pleases?"
"It’s no wonder; the Great Elder is a disciple of the Sky Sword Ancestor, and not just any disciple. It’s said that he was brought back by the Sky Sword Ancestor himself. No one knows the specifics."
"......"
...
While on the road, Fang Yan idly asked Wang Chang about the Great Elder. After learning about these matters, Fang Yan finally understood why the Great Elder was so opposed to him and realized the Great Elder’s special status. It was no wonder why the Sect Master was so lenient towards the Great Elder—it turned out the Great Elder was a disciple of the Sky Sword Ancestor, and was even brought back by the Sky Sword Ancestor, which was extraordinary.
Once Fang Yan understood everything, he casually chatted with Wang Chang, time passing swiftly. However, even while chatting on the surface, Fang Yan was pondering a matter: with Wang Chang always by his side, he had no opportunity to kill the people of the Holy Soul Sect—what should he do about this?
Seeing that they were approaching another small Sect, suddenly a flash of inspiration struck Fang Yan’s mind. It seemed he found a solution...
...
Huang Wanshan and Huang Wanshui were blood brothers, both Inner Sect Disciples in the Holy Soul Sect, with their abilities reaching the later stages of the Human Immortal Realm. They followed the group to wage this campaign against the Lingtian Cultivation Realm. In the past few days, the two brothers had conquered many small and medium-sized sects. With their combined strength, dealing with these sects was really easy.
In front of them now appeared a medium-sized sect, the Qianfeng Sect. Looking at the vast sect grounds, they smiled as they descended from the sky, stopping mid-air outside the sect gate. The two exchanged a glance, saying nothing. With a wave of their hands, two streaks of green Gang Qi shot out, extending over a hundred zhang-long, directly targeting the Qianfeng Sect camp.
This scene happened too swiftly—from the moment they appeared to unleashing this move, it didn’t even take a breath’s time. The Qianfeng Sect members were all caught unprepared; before they knew it, two streaks of Gang Qi had already pierced through the Qianfeng Sect’s grounds.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
...
Two loud explosions echoed, creating two enormous trenches, hundreds of zhang long, within the Qianfeng Sect. Countless sect members perished; the event happened too suddenly. The disciples within the Qianfeng Sect had no time to react and met a tragic fate, leading to a chorus of wails enveloping the whole sect!
Suddenly, several figures shot into the air, directly confronting the Huang Brothers. Before the figures even reached them, a shocking Sword Gang emerged. The scarlet red Sword Gang covered a range of hundreds of zhang, as if a red cloud had suddenly appeared in the sky. The eerie Gang Qi blades glimmered with a bloodthirsty cold light, shooting towards the Huang Brothers, blotting out the sky and covering the sun.
The Huang Brothers were momentarily stunned upon witnessing this. The Sword Gang alone demonstrated the incoming person’s strength, who was also at the late stage of the Human Immortal Realm, perhaps even at its peak! They never expected a medium-sized sect to have experts of such caliber overseeing it.
However, it wouldn’t be possible to harm them with just the Sword Gang. The brothers quickly dodged aside, evading the strange red Sword Gang, and stabilized their position in mid-air, able to finally see the opponents.
