Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 1790 - 1772: What Do You Mean by This?

It wasn’t until the sky had darkened that Shi Kuohai realized the time had passed, and quickly took Fang Yan to Cave Mansion No. 9. This was currently the best among the vacant cave mansions, showing Shi Kuohai’s indulgence toward Fang Yan. To encounter a genius like Fang Yan, he truly was overjoyed. He wanted to fulfill what had fallen short in his life through Fang Yan, to nurture Fang Yan into the greatest genius in the history of the Divine Sword Sect!

Fang Yan didn’t have any objections to this arrangement and directly walked into the cave mansion assigned to him by Shi Kuohai. Outside the cave mansion, there was a special stone, manipulated by Shi Kuohai so that only Fang Yan could enter. If others wanted to enter, they would have to wait until Fang Yan was inside, otherwise, external forces couldn’t open it.

After entering the cave mansion, Fang Yan began to diligently cultivate the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art given to him by Shi Kuohai. Based on the legacy given by Lin Feng, he naturally discerned that the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art was far superior to the Divine Sword Heaven-Eroding Heaven Arts. Cultivating this would undoubtedly elevate his power to a higher level; after all, the cultivation techniques passed down by Lin Feng were not suitable for exposure.

On the other side, the punishment of Wu Kexiong was already known to the Wu Family. At this moment, Wu Kexiong’s father and several elders of the Wu Family were sitting in the room discussing this matter.

"Family Head, Kexiong was persecuted in the Divine Sword Sect; this Fang Yan must be eliminated!" said a tall, thin elder, not expecting that even with Wu Kexiong’s skills, trouble could arise in the Divine Sword Sect, and even more surprisingly, the Fang Family suddenly produced such an extraordinary, monstrous genius. If this person isn’t eliminated, then the Wu Family will face great calamity in the future!

"I also agree with the Great Elder’s opinion. Not to mention the Young Master suffering in the sect, but just the fact that Fang Yan possesses such super talent, he must be nipped in the bud!" added another elder who appeared very ordinary, speaking from the family’s perspective, as the other’s exceptional talent was truly envy-inducing. They wouldn’t allow the opponent to grow up; otherwise, if the Fang Family had a super powerhouse in charge, they would undoubtedly surpass other prominent families, and this was something they couldn’t afford to let happen.

"I also share this view. Although the Young Master might have some problems, for the future development of the family, Fang Yan must first be removed. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Another elder in a dark blue long robe supplemented, feeling the same way, as there were only a few first-class prominent families. If the Fang Family rose because of Fang Yan, it was not the result they hoped to see...

"I agree with the three elders. We must find a way to eliminate Fang Yan."

"This matter must not leak, plan carefully and cautiously."

"I also feel the same way. If the Fang Family rises because of Fang Yan, it would definitely not be a good thing for our Wu Family. This child must be removed!"

...

Several other elders debated using their divine sense, discussing the terrifying power exhibited by Fang Yan. Instead of facing the Fang Family’s future rise, wouldn’t it be better to eliminate Fang Yan now to prevent possible crises? Moreover, it was a humiliation for the Wu Family that the esteemed Wu Family Young Master was put in his place by an outstanding disciple of the Fang Family. Under such circumstances, if the Wu Family didn’t act, then how could they maintain their dignity as the first prominent family in the Divine Sword Mountain Range?

"Who has heard of Fang Yan’s matters before?" The Wu Family’s Family Head, Wu Lengping, wearing a black brocade robe, looking particularly spirited, halted the discussion and shifted the focus to Fang Yan. Fang Yan’s emergence was truly too sudden. Even the Fang Family knew of this person previously, yet Fang Yan didn’t appear so monstrous when in the Fang Family. How did he explode to such extent after arriving at the Divine Sword Sect? There were definitely puzzling aspects to this.

"Family Head, this matter is indeed strange. If Fang Yan was so against heaven, would the Fang Family keep it hidden for so long? Even our scouts within the Fang Family never found anything unusual. I don’t think the Fang Family could do such a thing." The Great Elder said seriously at this time, puzzled as to why Fang Yan could suddenly explode to be against heaven, without any previous signs, evidently contrary to logic.

"I think so as well, but the news from the Divine Sword Sect confirms Fang Yan’s prowess. It could be that the Fang Family intentionally placed restrictions on Fang Yan to prevent exposure, only unlocking them before Fang Yan entered the Divine Sword Sect. Do you think this is possible? If so, then the Fang Family’s intentions might not be so simple."

On the other side, the Second Elder pondered briefly and then offered his thoughts, which were currently the only explanation for why Fang Yan could explode. As his words suggested, he was genuinely worried about what the Fang Family might be plotting, hiding Fang Yan’s against heaven talent.

"But Second Elder, Fang Tianhan’s son Fang Zheng died at Fang Yan’s hands. How do we explain this matter?" the Third Elder questioned, highlighting the crux of the problem. If the Fang Family intended to cultivate Fang Yan as the future Family Head, Fang Tianhan couldn’t possibly sacrifice his own son. On this point alone, it shouldn’t have happened!

"Yes, so strange!"

"What exactly is the Fang Family plotting? Fang Tianhan even sacrificed his son’s life!"

"But Fang Yan’s cultivation talent is indeed so against heaven, nothing like this has been heard of in hundreds of years!"

...

Other elders also commented at this time, all feeling confused. None of the explanations made sense, and each issue had suspicious points. Under such circumstances, no one could figure out what the Fang Family was thinking or planning!

Under such circumstances, Wu Lengping furrowed his brows deeply. Yet, as the Family Head, he knew he had to make a decision at this moment. Clearing his throat, he spoke to everyone present, "No matter what, regardless of Fang Family’s true intentions, Fang Yan must die to eliminate any future troubles. As for how to kill Fang Yan, seeking an opportunity is the only current option. Once Fang Yan leaves the Divine Sword Sect, that’s our chance to act. We must not allow Fang Yan to grow further, or it might become impossible to kill him."

"That’s a wise decision!"

"Breaking through with force, the Family Head is indeed wise!"

"Once Fang Yan is dead, the Fang Family will likely be devastated!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

...

The elders present all agreed with Wu Lengping’s proposal, realizing that this was the best plan available at the moment. There was no need to concern themselves with what scheme the Fang Family might be plotting, nor why Fang Yan had suddenly surged in strength. The only need was to find the opportunity to kill Fang Yan, and all problems would thereby be resolved.

Seeing that a consensus had been reached, Wu Lengping nodded and motioned for everyone to leave, so he could go and inform the ancestor of their decision.

"Fang Yan, dare to humiliate my son and ruin his future, this is your end!"

On the way to inform the ancestor, Wu Lengping’s face was cold, as he muttered to himself, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Toward Fang Yan, he harbored the heart to kill...

Meanwhile, within the Fang Family, a different scene was unfolding.

Upon learning that his son had been killed by Fang Yan, Fang Tianhan was so livid that he nearly passed out. Then, hearing about Fang Yan being sent to the Heavenly Court, he could no longer contain himself and spat out a mouthful of blood before completely losing consciousness.

It took a long while for Fang Tianhan to open his eyes again. The thought that his son had died at Fang Yan’s hands filled him with grief. He was very fond of Fang Zheng and had been grooming him to inherit the position of Family Head. Now, he was experiencing the agony of a parent burying their child, a pain that hit him hard!

Honestly, Fang Tianhan wished to kill Fang Yan immediately to avenge his son. But now that Fang Yan had grown so powerful, seeking direct revenge was impossible. The only way to avenge his son was to rely on the Fang Family’s influence. If the elders agreed, the matter would become much more manageable.

Fang Yan, daring to kill my son, I will surely kill you!

After firming up this plan in his mind, Fang Tianhan headed out to summon the elders for a meeting. This issue couldn’t be suppressed even if he wanted to; news would inevitably spread. Thus, to avoid being passive, everyone in the family had to be informed; of course, the information would be presented as he intended.

Soon, several elders of the Fang Family appeared in Fang Tianhan’s Council Hall. After they were seated, Fang Tianhan looked at them and said, "Elders, news has come from the Divine Sword Sect; my son was killed by Fang Yan. What are your thoughts on this matter?"

Hearing this, several elders were taken aback, not expecting such an event. Fang Yan and Fang Zheng were both members of the Fang Family; how had they come into conflict, and how had it led to death? They wondered what exactly had happened.

At this moment, the Great Elder, Fang Shibo, with his silver-grey hair and wearing a yellow long robe, appearing over a hundred years old, spoke, "Family Head, there might be more to this matter. You speak only of the result, not the process. It’s clear you’re misleading the elders."

Fang Shibo’s tone was rather unfriendly. He understood Fang Tianhan’s intention; he merely wanted retribution for Fang Yan, considering Fang Zheng was Fang Tianhan’s son, a sentiment he could profoundly understand as a father. But as the Family Head, Fang Tianhan’s actions were not acceptable; he needed to consider the entire Fang Family.

The Great Elder’s words left the other elders stunned, confused by the discrepancy between the Family Head’s and Great Elder’s statements. Listening to the Great Elder, they wondered if there was some hidden story behind it all?

"Great Elder, what do you mean? My son died at the hands of Fang Yan; it’s an undeniable fact. A little inquiry will verify this from other sources. Do you think I’m falsely accusing Fang Yan?"

At the moment, Fang Tianhan’s face was icy as he glared at Fang Shibo. This Great Elder was senior to him by quite a margin, but to avenge his son, he could no longer care about such things. As long as Fang Yan was killed before the truth got out, even if people eventually learned the truth, it would be too late, and Fang Tianhan had other ways to exonerate himself.
