Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1992 - 1974: Sect Deliberations

"Huh, who are you guys? My brother didn’t tell me." Fang Le’er, hearing this, became even more confused, wondering what exactly these two were implying.

"Le’er, to be honest with you, we’re not humans. We’re Demon Beasts transformed into human forms." Ba Qing couldn’t hold it in anymore and replied with a smile. He could see that Fang Le’er had no idea they were Demon Beasts, so he explained to reveal the truth.

"Le’er, we’re both in the Demon Immortal Realm or Demon Venerable Realm."

"Le’er, did you think we were humans?"

"Le’er, you’re so cute!"

...

The other Demon Beasts also laughed and said this as they looked at Fang Le’er, feeling she was truly amusing. To this point, she still thought they were humans. However, since Fang Le’er was Fang Yan’s sister, they didn’t want to play too big a joke on her, so they also clarified their identities.

"Ah... you... you are Demon Beasts!"

Fang Le’er never dreamed that the dozens of people in front of her were all Demon Beasts, and even at the level of Demon Immortal and Demon Venerable. Instantly, her face turned pale. In her impression, these Demon Beasts were extremely vicious and could devour humans. How could she not be afraid?

"Le’er, you don’t need to be afraid. You heard it; your brother entrusted you to us. We won’t harm you. On the contrary, we’ll protect you. Rest assured, Mr. Fang is a benefactor to all of us. No matter what, we won’t hurt you." Seeing Fang Le’er frightened, Ba Qing quickly explained. He understood why Fang Le’er thought that way; normally, humans and demons are intrinsically at odds. But Fang Yan’s appearance altered this dynamic. They could kill anyone but never touch someone beside Fang Yan; that was a fundamental issue.

"Yes, don’t be afraid. Mr. Fang has done us a great favor. We won’t do anything to you."

"Le’er, don’t be nervous."

"Right, with us, there’s really no need to be tense."

...

The other Demon Beasts also said hurriedly at this point, not wanting Fang Le’er to misunderstand them. If she complained to Fang Yan later, they’d be in trouble. What’s more, they never showed any sign of harming Fang Le’er, so they didn’t want her to be overly panicked.

Hearing the many Demon Beasts speak and observing their behavior, Fang Le’er finally relaxed. Looking at the numerous Demon Beasts, she was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean my brother did you a favor? I don’t understand."

Fang Le’er truly didn’t comprehend these matters. Fang Yan was a human, whereas the beings before her were Demon Beasts, traditionally deadly enemies. How could Fang Yan be a benefactor to so many Demon Beasts? It seemed impossible. Not only were there Demon Beasts of the Demon Immortal Realm, but also of the Demon Venerable Realm, equivalent to ancient Earth Immortal ancestors among humans. No matter how incredible Fang Yan was, he couldn’t have done them such a favor, could he?

Hearing Fang Le’er ask this, the Demon Beasts all smiled, and Ba Qing stepped forward and said, "Le’er, hasn’t Mr. Fang told you about us?"

"No, what’s up?" Fang Le’er asked more confusedly upon hearing Ba Qing’s question.

"I see," Ba Qing realized immediately upon hearing Fang Leer’s words. Fang Yan really hadn’t talked to her about the Heaven Demon Forest. Smiling, he explained, "Mr. Fang came to Heaven Demon Forest to help us with alchemy. Yes, you heard right, alchemy, and he crafted Heavenly Grade Elixirs. You know we’re Demon Beasts, and human Alchemists generally wouldn’t make elixirs for us. From this perspective, Mr. Fang is a great benefactor to our entire Heaven Demon Forest. Do you understand now?"

After hearing Ba Qing’s words, Fang Le’er was instantly dumbfounded. She never thought Fang Yan was an Alchemist, let alone one capable of crafting Heavenly Grade Elixirs—a sudden realization made her feel like her head was about to explode with this information...

An Alchemy Grandmaster! Though inexperienced, she understood what such a title meant. In the entire Holy Soul Continent, there weren’t even a handful of such grandmasters. How old was her brother now, and yet he was already an Alchemist? This... this was astonishing!

Moreover, her brother had the power to defeat Earth Immortal Realm Powerhouses. Taking everything into account, she was rendered speechless. No such legendary figure had ever emerged in the entire Holy Soul Continent or Eternal Joy Immortal Realm. In her heart, she felt her brother was too terrifying, terrifying beyond measure!

Seeing Fang Le’er stunned, the Demon Beasts smiled and did not speak further. Not just Fang Le’er; even they were speechless with awe when they learned about Fang Yan. They decided to give Fang Le’er some time to digest the information before speaking again.

After a while, Fang Le’er finally returned to her senses, her small face beaming with excitement. She realized she’d made many decisions. Following such an incredible Fang Yan, she was sure to witness one miracle after another. Her instinct told her this brother of hers was an unimaginable existence...

Seeing Fang Le’er coming back to her senses, among the Demon Beasts stepped forward a beautiful lady who seemed about twenty-eight or nine years old, and smiling, she said to Fang Le’er, "Le’er, you should come with me. Let me introduce myself: my true form is a Jade King Serpent Beast, early Demon Venerable Realm, and you can call me Sister Jade. They’re all big guys; it’s better for me to lead you."

The other Demon Beasts had no objections to the Jade King Serpent Beast’s proposal and nodded in agreement. Indeed, among their group, only two were female: the Jade King Serpent Beast, at the early Demon Venerable Realm, and the Thousand-Faced Demon Fox Beast, at the early Demon Immortal Realm. Naturally, Jade King Serpent Beast should take charge of Fang Le’er.

"Alright, Sister Jade." Fang Le’er felt a sense of closeness upon meeting the Jade King Serpent Beast. Though a Demon Beast, she found comfort in having such a sister figure accompany her since she was a girl.

"Good girl, come, Sister Jade will take you to play." The Jade King Serpent Beast, hearing Fang Leer’s obedient response, patted her head, then took her little hand and ascended into the air, leading her to her domain for fun...

Elsewhere, Fang Yan had already returned to the Divine Sword Sect, attending the high-level meeting convened by Jue Tiannan.

In the meeting, besides some Elders of the Sect, many Taoists were also present. Amid the Taoists’ yielding, Fang Yan sat at the head of the Taoists. With Fang Yan’s strength, they all sincerely approved of making him the leading Taoist.

After everyone was seated, Jue Tiannan began to speak: "Today, the high-level meeting has two agenda items that I hope we can decide collectively. First, in recent times, the Holy Soul Sect has drawn Elder Wang and others to execute conquest missions and withdrawn the Sect’s elites, posing a hidden threat to our Divine Sword Sect. During subsequent conquests, could we replace some people while we still send out outstanding disciples of the Sect but try to avoid involving the Taoists? Although no one was harmed this time, the difficulty of future conquests will increase, and I think we should be prepared."

"Sect Master, this proposal is excellent, and I think it should be adopted. Frankly speaking, we encountered some dangers during the conquests, though none too severe. Later, when there was danger, Fang Yan took care of it, so we suffered no losses. As the difficulty of conquests increases over time, so does the possibility of encountering danger, which is not good for our Sect. But if we change personnel, I fear that the Holy Soul Sect won’t find this acceptable, and if the competence isn’t sufficient, the risk of danger becomes even higher!"

Elder Wang, having the most authority on this matter, stepped forward and clarified his stance, aligning with Jue Tiannan’s view. Both felt a change was necessary, although how to change was complex—balancing the Holy Soul Sect’s demands and ensuring the safety of the disciples was not an easy decision.

"Sect Master, personally, I feel it’s better not to bring this up. Our sect can’t afford to offend the Holy Soul Sect. If we don’t contribute under such circumstances, I’m afraid the Holy Soul Sect might retaliate against our Divine Sword Sect." Great Elder Qian Li voiced an opposing opinion; he didn’t care much about other matters. His sole concern was not wanting Fang Yan to stay in the Sect. If this proposal kept Fang Yan in the Sect, how could he deal with him?

The other Elders remained silent, weighing their thoughts. To be honest, they would prefer not to participate in the Holy Soul Sect’s conquest missions, but that’s impossible. If they could replace some people to preserve the Sect’s strength, this suggestion was unquestionably valid.

However, doing so could lead to the Holy Soul Sect’s reproach, as pointed out by the Great Elder, due to the Holy Soul Sect’s immense power. If pursued, the Sect could be put in a difficult position. Thus, the Great Elder’s concerns weren’t unfounded; balancing this was genuinely challenging.

Seeing the silence from others, Jue Tiannan glanced at the Taoists and spoke, "As participants, what do you think about this matter?"

The Taoists also fell silent, especially Wang Chang and Cui Shen, showing awkward expressions. Already engaged in conquest on interfaces generally of the Cultivation World, where Earth Immortal and countless Heavenly Immortal experts have appeared, partaking in such wars was extremely hazardous. Frankly, they didn’t want to participate further, but they couldn’t express this verbally, showing their stance through silence.
