Chapter 1351 1449 Frenzy

Chapter 1351: Chapter 1449: Frenzy Chapter 1351: Chapter 1449: Frenzy Fang Lin revealed a surprised look, “So you two are actually in a master-disciple relationship.”

Qin Guanyue paid no attention to Fang Lin. Instead, the middle-aged man said, “Cangyunzi is indeed my senior brother, so in terms of seniority, I am this youngster’s uncle.”

Fang Lin nodded. This was to his advantage, for he had captured both Cangyunzi’s junior brother and his disciple. If Cangyunzi knew about this, he would probably come to fight for their lives.

“Why are you here?” The middle-aged man frowned slightly as he questioned Qin Guanyue.

Qin Guanyue let out a bitter laugh, “I was following my master’s orders to search for a treasure, but alas, I fell into this dire situation before even seeing the treasure.”

The middle-aged man looked at Fang Lin, “Is it possible to spare my disciple’s life?”

Fang Lin did not expect this middle-aged man to make such a request, but he immediately refused, “He has something I need on him, so I cannot let him go.”

“Then, can you spare his life?” the middle-aged man asked again.

Fang Lin showed a hint of a smile, “If I want to take that thing, I will surely have to harm his life.”

“Uncle, there is no need to plead for me, I’ve resigned myself to fate,” said Qin Guanyue, appearing very composed.

The middle-aged man clenched his fists tightly and, in the end, could only sigh without saying anything more.

“Actually, if you want to save your life, it’s simple. Hand over the inheritance of the Holy Palace, and I won’t have to kill you,” Fang Lin said as he looked at Qin Guanyue.

To obtain the inheritance carried by the heir of the Holy Palace, one method besides killing the heir was for the heir to willingly relinquish their inheritance.

In doing so, one could save their life. However, it would cause significant harm to oneself—regression in one’s cultivation, damage to the foundation, not to mention the reduction in lifespan—all of which were formidable consequences.

Every heir of the Holy Palace was well aware that from the moment they received their inheritance, they were bound for a path of no return. They would either carve out a bloody path among the twelve to become a ruler or become stepping stones for others.

The act of voluntarily surrendering an inheritance had rarely occurred among heirs throughout history.

Most heirs would lose their inheritance through death at the hands of other heirs. While there had been those who gave it up voluntarily, their lives ultimately amounted to nothing and were drowned out in the tides of ordinary people.

But by giving up the inheritance voluntarily, one could preserve their life. Even with reduced lifespan and the loss of past glory, staying alive was the most pragmatic outcome.

Nothing could be more important than a life itself.

That was why Fang Lin proposed letting Qin Guanyue hand over the inheritance to spare his life.

Hearing this, Qin Guanyue was startled and then gave Fang Lin a sullen glance without speaking.

The middle-aged man looked at Qin Guanyue, “The decision is up to you. I, your uncle, will not say much more.”

Qin Guanyue nodded, but by his demeanor, he seemed not to be the type willing to surrender his inheritance easily.

“You people of the three sect are really odd. Isn’t it enough to stay in the Seven Seas? Must you come to the Nine Countries to cause trouble? Now that you’ve fallen into my hands, do you still have any complaints?” Fang Lin said disdainfully.

The middle-aged man looked at Fang Lin, “You are right; the land of the Seven Seas is not much smaller than the Nine Countries. However, most people in the three sect are not content. It has been this way since ancient times. The idea of claiming the Nine Countries has deeply rooted itself in the hearts of most people from the three sect.”

“That’s why you people from the three sect are asking for a beating, you need to be put in order. Without being beaten to the point where you’re looking for your teeth on the ground, you just don’t realize your own place,” Fang Lin said very bluntly.

“Your words are of no use to me. I do not wish to be involved in the conflict between the three sect and the Nine Countries,” the middle-aged man stated, showing a degree of calmness without anger in the face of Fang Lin’s rude words.

“Hmph, the Nine Countries will inevitably fall before the three sect. This is an unchangeable outcome,” Qin Guanyue suddenly said coldly.

Fang Lin laughed, “Overrun the Nine Countries? Every time you three sect come chanting slogans, don’t you always end up being beaten back in disgrace? I really don’t know where you find the courage. Are you inherently stubborn and only feel comfortable after getting beaten?”

Angered, Qin Guanyue could not outtalk Fang Lin, so he could only stare, expressing his frustration with his eyes.

“The three sect’s preparations this time far exceed any before. The Nine Countries have little hope of defeating the three sect now,” the middle-aged man stated.

Fang Lin narrowed his eyes, then suddenly asked, “The recent attack on Qian Country by your sect, was it to save someone?”

The middle-aged man showed a look of surprise, then quickly regained his composure and nodded without hiding it.

Fang Lin continued, “So many masters from the three sect were dispatched to rescue this individual. What is this person’s identity?”

“I am not clear on the details, but this person is highly significant to the three sect. As long as we rescue him, subduing the Nine Countries will be no difficult task,” the middle-aged man said indifferently.

“That’s true. Qian Country’s fall is imminent; it might already be in our sect’s hands now,” Qin Guanyue sneered.

Fang Lin’s brow furrowed immediately; being unconcerned was impossible.

Currently trapped within the layers of arrays in The Forest of Mist, he did not know when he would be able to get out, nor could he contact the outside world. The current state of Qian Country was entirely unknown to him.

Before entering The Forest of Mist, Fang Lin had learned from Gu Hanshan that many experts from the Hidden Kill Hall were lying in wait in Qian Country, with even the Fire King present.

Although Qian Country still had the Sword Head to rely on, facing the three sect and Hidden Kill Hall, one man’s strength was probably still inadequate.

“The three sect shall rise, and the Nine Countries shall fall. This was a prophecy by Buddha Head and a result deduced by the predecessors of our three sect long ago. This is an inevitable event,” Qin Guanyue uttered with some fervency.

“Worldly affairs are unpredictable; in this world, nothing is absolutely certain. The unexpected still exists,” the middle-aged man retorted, shaking his head, not as fervently convinced as Qin Guanyue that the three sect would certainly overrun the Nine Countries.

Fang Lin also did not believe it. The strength between the Nine Countries and the three sect was comparable, and it was extremely difficult for either side to overrun the other.

The three sect had not yet shown all their resources, and what did the Nine Countries lack? Having existed for so many years, the accumulated power of the Nine Countries was also formidable.

Fang Lin’s only concern now was for the safety of Qian Country at this moment. Although the fall of the Burning Lamp Buddha made the three sect temporarily wary of rash actions against Qian Country, over time, the people of the three sect would likely make a comeback.

The main issue was that he was currently trapped inside The Forest of Mist and couldn’t leave, which was a miscalculation on his part. If he had known how intricate The Forest of Mist was and that he would be trapped for so long, he would not have entered so lightly.
