to Meng Fei's questioning."Oh, I see. You weren't getting impatient, that puts my mind at ease." Fang Yu smiled and said, "We have a bad habit when we eat, which is ordering food very slowly, sometim..."Have Bai Xueyan wait for you outside" Xiao Wuji's face changed again.
He learned in the conversation just now that Fang Yu had only arrived in the Barbarian Realm recently.
But what exactly happened in between, Fang Yu didn't mention.
Now, seeing Fang Yu mention the head of Furongmen with a calm and composed expression, it means... this junior might be doing better than him in this desolate world.
“Senior, my current name is Dao Yu. I come from the Demon Race and am a maidservant to the young princess of a celestial king family in Behuang.” Fang Yu said, “This is who I am. As for why I found you, it’s because my young mistress has some connections with you, so she asked me to come say hello.”
"I understand," Xiao Wuji replied, "From now on, you don't have to call me senior. Just call me Sect Leader Xiao."
"Good," Fang Yu nodded and said, "Now let me tell you about what happened recently with the four major powers in Wuzhou..."
Then Fang Yu told him about his experiences after arriving in Wuzhou.
Everything regarding the Emperor, the Eternal Night Plan, and the Five Absolutes Sect, etc., is completely unhidden.
"The Bie family and Wanli Academy...," Xiao Wuji exclaimed, his face etched with shock.
To him, the Four Great Powers of Wu State were practically insurmountable mountains.
In the foreseeable future, they will remain the four most powerful forces in Wuzhou!
But now, in just one day, two of the four major forces have collapsed!
It was so fast that the news hadn't even reached their Wuji Sect yet!
"The reason I found you is because I think the Emperor will find a way to elevate one force to become the sole rule-maker of Wuzhou, in order to destroy all four existing forces," Fang Yu said. "And when it came to the fifth force, Bai Xueyan mentioned the Wuji Sect."
“The Hundred Palm Sect truly flatters us, the Wujizong,” Xiao Wuji shook his head. “At most, we’re in the top ten. Fifth place is definitely out of reach. Although my cultivation level is considered good, the evaluation of a force should be based on its overall strength. In this aspect, our Wujizong foundation is still too thin, and it cannot be compared to many forces within the Wu Prefecture that have existed for thousands of years.”
"But as far as I know, at least within this Southern Wilderness, the strength of a force is more about the strength of its leader," Fang Yu said. "The so-called ranking is based on the leader's strength."
"The term 'rank' is meaningless to top-tier powers," Xiao Wuji said. "Of course, saying that we rely on leaders to assess our standing is a common way in Nanhuang, perhaps that's why Bai Zhangmen mentioned our Wujizong."
"Well, Fang Yu, regardless of anything else, I have to show some respect to the Hundred Palm Sect Master and go say hello to her."
"Okay, let's go together." Fang Yu said.
……
At this very moment, on the desolate plains north of Wuzhou.
"Sigh..."
A strong wind blew through, whipping up a lot of sand.
As the yellow sand swirled, a temple slowly emerged from the earth.
If Fang Yu were present, he would surely be able to recognize at a glance that this temple... was the same one that had appeared in the Yunyun Continent before!
After the temple appeared, it never disappeared again.
Inside the temple, there is a statue of a snake-headed human that remains motionless.
"Whoosh!"
Moments later, a dark shadow slowly coalesced before the statue.
A shadowy figure coalesced into a form.
It is the very emperor who just exterminated the Bi family!
After the Emperor's arrival, he stood before the statue.
Then, suddenly, knelt down on one knee.
"My Lord, this was my oversight. This matter should not have been exposed. Now that it has, cleaning up the mess will be extremely difficult, so... I can only beg you to lend me your help." The Emperor bowed his head and said.
"Of the forty-eight regions in the Southern Wastelands, only two under your command have experienced problems. Blackflame, I ask you... why is this so"
The snake-head statue suddenly opened its mouth, emitting a cold and raspy voice.
"I used the wrong subordinates. Zongyao is truly incompetent and lacks any sense of strategy. His mistakes have cost us dearly..." the Emperor replied.
"Still making excuses for yourself... Who is Zong Yao He's nothing but a small node in the plan. What makes him think he can ruin your entire scheme You know the real reason, Black Flame." The snake-headed statue's voice grew even colder.
"It's my fault!" The Emperor pressed his forehead against the ground, daring not to argue further.
"Now, how can I help you" the snake-head statue asked after a moment of silence.
“I’m currently facing a tough opponent. He hails from a powerful immortal clan in the Northern Wasteland and is called Dao Yu,” replied the Black Flame Emperor. “He displayed incredible strength, easily slaying Zhang Baihe, who possessed the cultivation of a Heavenly Yuan Immortal, followed by killing Yuan Shusheng and Zong Taisui.”
"The plan fell apart because of this Dao Yu's appearance!" Black Flame Emperor gritted his teeth and said.
"The North Desolation Immortal King's Clan Why would they attract someone of such status" the snake-headed statue sculpture asked again.
The Black Flame Monarch had no choice but to tell him about his previous plan to use the little carp as bait.
"Such a foolish plan! To suppress the other three major forces, you actually involve a direct descendant of an immortal king family!" The reaction of the serpent-headed statue was rather intense as it said, "Do you know that once the Eternal Night Plan is exposed by someone of this status, all our previous efforts will be in vain"
"This is also why we have the strength to crush these forces, but cannot openly eliminate them!"
This is a very important point. The first step is to understand the context and use case, and then determine the appropriate solution. We need to analyze the situation carefully and consider all factors before making a decision.Let's work together to find the best way forward.
"You can't even remember this What are you thinking!"
The tone of the snake-head statue's words grew increasingly severe with each sentence, and one could feel its anger rising.
"I, I know I was wrong, Master. I've been trying my best to make amends, so I took action and destroyed the Bi family..." The Emperor Jun trembled with fear and hurriedly explained.
The serpent-headed statue remained silent for a long time before speaking, "The only way now is to wipe out the Four Great Powers and eradicate everyone who knows about the Eternal Night Plan."
"The Night Plan must never be exposed before its success, or it will lead to extremely serious consequences!"
"I understand, I understand… My lord, as long as we can kill Dao Yu, those two major forces will be insignificant." The Emperor said.
"You can plan, and when you need my help, I will lend a hand," the serpent head statue said coldly. "But I must tell you, this is your last chance." time the atmosphere at the meeting was completely different from last time.Every person's face, whether or not genuinely, wears a smile.And in the center of the hall stood a young man.He is handsome,...
