Chapter 2247 - 2229: Why Is This?
Thinking of this, Lin Feng instructed Fang Yan, "You don’t need to intervene in this matter anymore. Let Senior Brother handle the subsequent steps. If I’m right, Holy Soul Sect’s opening of the space passage won’t take much time. Since it’s already unstoppable, don’t try to stop it. Focus mainly on interference. You must quickly enhance your strength to help me in the final battle. After all, your current strength isn’t strong enough. If you reach the Immortal Realm Peak, you can help me solve a lot of problems."
"Understood, my essence," Fang Yan immediately grasped Lin Feng’s meaning after hearing his instructions. He also agreed with Lin Feng’s idea. Although his current power is impressive, he still doesn’t have the strength to face an Immortal Realm Peak powerhouse. This is due to his low realm. If he can also reach Immortal Realm Peak, he would practically be able to crush all Earth Immortal Realm powerhouses here in the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm, which would greatly benefit the future situation.
After briefly speaking, Fang Yan took the initiative to sever the spiritual connection, then turned his gaze to Li Xing, saying with extreme seriousness, "Senior Brother, from the current situation, Holy Soul Sect is determined to obtain the Black Spirit Stone. No matter how hard we try, we can’t block such a powerful trend. I just communicated with my essence, and he suggested that I quickly enhance my strength, leaving the interference to you. What do you think of this matter?"
After hearing Fang Yan’s words, Li Xing furrowed his brow. He hadn’t expected Lin Feng to arrange things this way. However, within moments, he figured everything out and looked at Fang Yan, his expression becoming solemn and serious.
"Junior Brother is right; this possibility is indeed very high. Under these circumstances, such an arrangement is the most appropriate. Your strength is formidable, but it’s still challenging to face those at the late and peak Earth Immortal Realm. You must quickly enhance your strength, and as for interfering with Holy Soul Sect acquiring the Black Spirit Stone, leave it to me. If I want to flee, nobody can catch me. I will repeatedly torment them, and try my best to delay their acquisition of enough Black Spirit Stone."
These words are truly from Li Xing’s heart. At present, this is indeed the best approach, as once the space passage between the Immortal Realm and Earth is opened, the main force in the real battle will be the little Junior Brother and his Doppelganger. Therefore, Fang Yan’s primary task now is to enhance his strength as quickly as possible, while Li Xing handles the interference with Holy Soul Sect. As long as things are handled carefully, there will be no problem.
"Senior Brother, I will rely on you for the matters ahead; I need to find a place to enhance my strength." Fang Yan nodded at Li Xing, then added, "Be careful during the entire process. Before I leave, I’ll stay with you for a few days and teach you everything about assassination and ambush."
"Alright, no problem. For the little Junior Brother, I definitely won’t let Holy Soul Sect have it easy!" Li Xing nodded seriously upon hearing this. Although he had learned quite a bit on the subject lately, it wasn’t entirely new information. Fang Yan could teach him some additional tricks to further trouble Holy Soul Sect.
In the following days, Fang Yan taught Li Xing a lot about tactics of assassination and ambush, pouring all theoretical knowledge related to assassination and ambush from Earth into Li Xing, making him understand numerous methods to use whatever possible to deal with opponents, even sharing classic theories on guerrilla warfare and protracted warfare from Earth.
Faced with this, Li Xing was genuinely in awe of Fang Yan, no wonder Fang Yan could torment Holy Soul Sect to such an extent; these strategies and tactics of Fang Yan are truly terrifying. No ordinary person could think of such things.
After teaching these matters, Fang Yan pondered and made an exceptionally special Communication Talisman for Li Xing. With this Communication Talisman, Li Xing can leave a message for him from anywhere in the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm, and he will respond when he has time, similar to the nature of email.
After arranging everything, Fang Yan gave Li Xing everything unnecessary from his Space Ring as war funds. Once this was done, Li Xing saw Fang Yan off to return to the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm and then returned to Dharma Profound Immortal Realm to interfere with Holy Soul Sect as planned by Fang Yan.
Fang Yan returned to Eternal Joy Immortal Realm and directly went to Divine Sword Sect, to the usual cultivation spot of Sky Sword Ancestor.
"Fang Yan, why have you come back?" Sky Sword Ancestor looked at Fang Yan and asked in confusion.
"Sky Sword Ancestor, the war between Eternal Joy Immortal Realm and Earth is about to start. By then, I want to know where Divine Sword Sect stands?" Fang Yan looked at Sky Sword Ancestor and asked seriously. This matter concerns many affairs and his layout in the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm.
"Fang Yan, how did you know the war between Eternal Joy Immortal Realm and Earth is about to start?" Sky Sword Ancestor didn’t rush to answer Fang Yan but instead asked in return. This was his curiosity, because as the ancestor of Divine Sword Sect, he hadn’t received any news, so how did Fang Yan know?
"To be honest, I just returned from Dharma Profound Immortal Realm; Holy Soul Sect has begun frantically acquiring Black Spirit Stone at all costs. If I’m not mistaken, their number of Black Spirit Stones should not be far off, so this battle is about to start soon." Upon hearing the inquiry from Sky Sword Ancestor, Fang Yan explained briefly and then asked seriously, "Sky Sword Ancestor, regarding my question earlier, what is your answer?"
Upon hearing Fang Yan’s words, Sky Sword Ancestor fell silent. Although Fang Yan hadn’t said much, the meaning of his words was clear. Fang Yan is definitely from Earth, and now Divine Sword Sect must make a final decision. If the answer doesn’t satisfy Fang Yan, he might retaliate against Divine Sword Sect.
Regarding Fang Yan, Sky Sword Ancestor knew there was no impossibility, and given how direct his words were, Fang Yan wouldn’t fear him feigning compliance and spreading the information, so now he must make a choice, representing Divine Sword Sect’s stance.
Thinking of this, Sky Sword Ancestor closed his eyes and pondered repeatedly, because this matter concerns the future of Divine Sword Sect. If a decision goes wrong, it could lead to the sect’s destruction. As the ancestor of Divine Sword Sect, he must be responsible for the sect.
Seeing Sky Sword Ancestor in such a state, Fang Yan didn’t rush but simply sat opposite him and waited. He must settle this matter during this return; otherwise, once the war starts, he won’t have time to handle Divine Sword Sect’s affairs.
After a whole hour, Sky Sword Ancestor finally opened his eyes and asked Fang Yan, "If Divine Sword Sect remains neutral in this war, neither helping the Immortal Realm nor helping Earth, would this be acceptable?"
For the safety of Divine Sword Sect, Sky Sword Ancestor gave such a response. He really couldn’t trust Earth’s strength, as the Immortal Realm’s power is formidable. If they really go to war, he can maneuver various excuses to avoid participation. Even if Eternal Joy Immortal Realm wins the war, they can’t trouble Divine Sword Sect, and if Earth eventually wins, other sects will inevitably suffer a major blow, allowing Divine Sword Sect to rise during this period.
"That’s acceptable, but at that time, when sharing benefits, there will be no interest for Divine Sword Sect." Fang Yan had already anticipated that Sky Sword Ancestor would make such a decision and answered calmly. Now that Divine Sword Sect’s stance is confirmed, that’s enough for him.
Upon hearing Fang Yan’s confident response, Sky Sword Ancestor was taken aback. He really hadn’t expected Fang Yan to be so self-assured. Without Divine Sword Sect’s help, how could Earth possibly defeat Eternal Joy Immortal Realm? This was something he couldn’t understand, but now that he had made his decision, it couldn’t be changed. Moreover, this decision is best for Divine Sword Sect, and he had no intention of altering it.
"That’s no problem. Starting now, I’ll send all sect disciples out, so once the war starts, I can use the excuse of the sect being unoccupied to delay involvement." Looking at Fang Yan, Sky Sword Ancestor responded. Although the sharing of benefits was tempting, he’d rather play it safe and miss this opportunity than risk anything happening to Divine Sword Sect.
"Agreed." Seeing Sky Sword Ancestor’s response, Fang Yan didn’t say more but simply uttered a phrase and vanished from Sky Sword Ancestor’s sight.
Once Fang Yan left, Sky Sword Ancestor immediately summoned Jue Tiannan.
"Ancestor, what are your orders?" Jue Tiannan looked at Sky Sword Ancestor and asked with curiosity.
"From now on, assign tasks to all sect disciples, letting them go carry out missions and not return to the sect for a year, regardless of what happens." Sky Sword Ancestor instructed Jue Tiannan with a serious expression.
"Ah! Ancestor, why is this?" Jue Tiannan exclaimed, not understanding why Sky Sword Ancestor made such an arrangement.
"Fang Yan just came to see me; the war between Earth and the Immortal Realm is about to start, and Divine Sword Sect will remain neutral in the conflict. That’s the decision I made." Sky Sword Ancestor knew that without some explanation, Jue Tiannan wouldn’t comply. After saying this, he added, "Only you should know about these matters; no one else can be allowed to know."
Upon hearing this, Jue Tiannan’s body trembled, immediately realizing the intention of Sky Sword Ancestor. He naturally knew how to act, nodding seriously at Sky Sword Ancestor and replying, "Ancestor, I understand what to do."
After replying, Jue Tiannan left Sky Sword Ancestor’s presence, returned to his residence, and closed the door tightly. His heart was pounding wildly. He indeed knew that something major was about to happen, and this matter concerns Divine Sword Sect’s survival. Thinking of the decision made by the Ancestor, his heart felt warm. Given the current situation, the Ancestor’s decision is the most correct, but he couldn’t calm himself when imagining the forthcoming events.
After brief hesitation, Jue Tiannan immediately left the room and began gathering various Elders to assign tasks, having all the sect’s elites leave the sect, even sending some Elders out to lead teams, ensuring that if war breaks out, Divine Sword Sect will have no one!
