Chapter 2629: The Only Opportunity
s heart, it had already made up its mind.Once that human, Fang Yu, is killed, it will immediately make a demand, asking those ancient clan Supremes to cede half of Beidu's territory to the Taiyin Pyth..."If I make the first choice, then everything we've done before will be for nothing. We'll have no connection to Fang Yu anymore, and he might even see us as enemies. Burning Palace is still a second-rank sect, wanting to reach the threshold of a first-rank sect... is extremely difficult. Even if we become a first-rank sect, even the top-tier first-rank sects, it's just a first-rank sect at best." Zhi Xi said calmly, "In front of the Sacred Rune Clan, we are still nothing, like beasts."
“You…” Qiu Wankian’s face turned ashen, he said, “This is your reason! For years, the entire Yunmù Continent has been controlled by the two clans of gods and demons. No one can change this order! Throughout history, how many stunningly talented cultivators have tried to overturn the order set by the two clans of gods and demons But who succeeded Those who dared to defy the two clans of gods and demons… were all exterminated, disappearing into the long river of history.”
"All we can do is live the best life possible under the existing rules, striving to reach new heights!"
"The higher the position, the safer and more respected we are... What's wrong with that Why are you so eager to succeed! If this is your explanation, I won't accept it."
Qiu Wanqian's face was extremely ugly, and he said in a deep voice.
“This is a gamble. I approached Fang Yu to tie the names Burning Palace and Fang Yu together.” Zhixi was surprisingly calm, her tone flat. “Fang Yu has some knowledge about the two clans of gods and demons after arriving on the Yunyun Continent. And he's a very smart person.”
"Since he chose to act in that situation, it means he has already made preparations to deal with both the Sacred Rune Clan and the Heavenly Calamity Clan."
And in his previous encounters, he resolved them effortlessly. Regardless of the opponent... there wasn't a moment of difficulty, so I think...
“Just a few moves, and you think he has the strength to fight the entire Saint Rune Clan! No, it's not just the Saint Rune Clan! Even if we assume Fang Yu truly possesses the power to fight the Saint Rune Clan... what about the power behind them That's the entire Divine Race lineage! An individual human cultivator, no matter how strong, can never defeat the entire Divine Race lineage!”Qiu Wanqian stood up excitedly once again and roared, “If he really exterminated the Saint Rune Clan, this matter would only escalate, provoking those top-tier beings of the Divine Race lineage. At that time... he will surely die without a doubt!”
And we burn the palace, and we will perish with it!
"Zhixi, this time you've made a terrible mistake! For the sake of a human cultivator you just met not long ago, for an illusory and intangible idea, you put yourself and Fen Gong in extreme danger..."
"Master, this is a chance, a fleeting one," Zhixi looked straight at Chou Wanqian, "At that point in time, I could have easily made the first choice. As for the second choice, I know its risks. I'm very clear that Fang Yu might ultimately be defeated by the siege of the divine race and fall. We would all be destroyed as well."
"When an opportunity arises that could completely change the fate of the Burning Palace, even possibly propelling it to unprecedented heights, Master... this might be a once-in-a-lifetime chance. I don't want to miss it... I choose to follow Fang Yu."
This may be wrong, and it might lead to the burning of all palaces and an eternal calamity, but...
"But what! You risked the entire sect for that tiny sliver of hope Zhixi, you..." Qiu Wanqian's anger was sky-high.
"I only want to change, giving Fēnggōng a chance to soar." Zhǐxī said, "Without breaking through, it's better to die. Master, I've already done what I could, there's no changing that... Afterward, just wait for the results."
Chou Wanqian's eyes widened as he stared at Zhixi, his mouth agape, unable to find words.
At this moment, he saw only determination on Zhixi's face!
Zhixi's ambition... was far greater than he had anticipated.
This was something he had never been aware of before!
……
In the northern part of the central region, there is a town in which Tian Sha clan settled. It's surrounded by layers upon layers of tight defenses both inside and outside the town.
This town only appears to be a small town, in reality... it is actually the central organization of the Heavenly Tyrant Clan, located within the Heavenly Tyrant Mansion!
At this moment, at the very heart of Tiansha Mansion, within a hall in the mansion master's residence.
Many high-ranking members of the Heavenly Demon Mansion were present.
After leaving the auction house, Fang Shan immediately returned to Tiansha Mansion and reported everything that happened inside to the mansion master and young master.
The Lord of the Mansion, Lu Changtian, sat at the head. He was dressed in a white-gold robe and had white hair that fell to his shoulders. There were no signs of age on his face, and his features were handsome.
And the young master, Lu Chen, sat on one side. His features were even more handsome, and his eyes flickered slightly with a blue glow.
On their foreheads, they all bore the mark of the Sacred Clan, shimmering with a dark golden light.
After hearing Fangshan's report, Luochangtian and Luochendun's faces were both extremely gloomy.
The Venerable of the Sacred Inscription Clan has been assassinated! Within the territory of the Tianshal Prefecture, under the very noses of representatives from numerous factions!
This matter, once it is relayed back to the Shengwen Clan, will surely incite the rage of those great venerables within the clan!
At that time, anger will surely be directed at the inaction of Tian Sha Fu!
"He shouldn't be let go! We should sound the alarm immediately and seal off the entire district!" Lu Chen glared at Fang Shan, his voice cold.
The Heavenly Slaughter Tribunal, an extremely terrifying place of life and death for millions of cultivators, before the father and son duo of Lu Changtian and Lu Chen, is merely a subordinate, with a clear disparity in status.
Because the head of Tiansha Prefecture was personally appointed by the Great Venerable of the Shengwen clan, he is considered a symbol of the Shengwen clan within the Tiansha clan. His status within the Tiansha clan is unique and supreme.
As for Luochin, he was the son of Luochangtian and naturally became the second-in-command.
Faced with Luchen's rebuke, Fang Shan could only lower his head and reply: "Fang Yu's displayed strength is extremely terrifying. The venerated one from the Saint Vein Clan was slapped to death by him... This subordinate believes that his strength is at least at the fourth level of He Dao or above, and the upper limit is unknown."
"For whether it was the Venerable One or those several members of the remnant organization... none had the power to resist Fang Yu."
Upon hearing Fangshan's words, Luochin looked at Luochangtian.
“Oh You mean that even the weakest of these human trash are at least at the fourth stage of He Dao, and those above it are countless So, he could also be at the seventh or eighth stage, or even at the level of a celestial immortal who has fully understood the source” Luo Chen stood up, walked in front of Fang Shan, squinted, and asked.
Fang Shan did not answer.
“Fang Shan, I see you’ve been living a good life for too long and have forgotten your roots!” Luochin said with his hands behind his back, his eyes cold as he stared at Fang Shan. “A mere human trash, actually able to intimidate the most powerful group of cultivators in the entire Heavenly Demon Clan, this scene is not only shameful if you experienced it firsthand, even hearing about it here makes me feel extremely ashamed and ridiculous!”
"Isn't it just because you're afraid of death! Just seeing that bastard make a move... You didn't dare step forward to stop him, what a useless good-for-nothing!"Shadow Clan members present. 。At the same time, it also carried an air of killing intent. 。To possess such an aura, one must inevitably have killed many people. 。Such a team is rare to find on Earth....
