Chapter 769: Panic

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“What? The Crimson Star Sect is aiming at the series of three big Mountain Ranges and wants to eradicate the Dafang Sect?”

The various large ancient martial art practitioner sects in the series of three big Mountain Ranges all received the news at the same time. The Dafang Sect held the top position in the series of three big Mountain Ranges. The Crimson Star Sect’s desire to eradicate the Dafang Sect was bound to have a huge impact on the ancient martial art practitioner system in the series of three big Mountain Ranges.

“How did the Dafang Sect offend the Crimson Star Sect? Is this news real?”

In the Yanxia Sect, Granny Hong Yan had a look of astonishment on her face. In the martial art circle, although conflict had never ceased, this sort of martial art circle announcement to eradicate a sect had not appeared for more than a decade.

“This is the order of the Crimson Star Sect old sect leader. It is 100% accurate. Rumor has it that the Crimson Star Huo Elder came out of seclusion earlier because of this matter,” the Yanxia Sect sect leader Yan Qiuyun said. After repeatedly cross-checking her sources, she had finally been able to confirm that it was a martial art circle announcement sent out by the Crimson Star Sect.

“However, the Crimson Star Sect’s main target doesn’t seem to be the Dafang Sect itself, but rather its sect leader Mo Wen. As long as Mo Wen heads to the Crimson Star Sect and dies as an apology, the Dafang Sect can be preserved.” Yan Qiuyun’s expression was strange. What exactly had Mo Wen done to the Crimson Star Sect for them to ignore the possible consequences?

“Sending out such a martial art circle announcement is not an easy thing. Its effect on the Crimson Star Sect is significant. How exactly did the Dafang Sect offend the Crimson Star Sect to cause them to be so enraged?” Ruan Feixia asked, puzzled.

An eradication announcement could not be simply sent out. Even though the Crimson Star Sect was ranked fourth among the Ten Great Sects, such overbearing and arrogant behavior would certainly affect the Crimson Star Sect greatly.

Moreover, the Crimson Star Sect was not the strongest sect in the martial art circle.

“You all underestimate the Crimson Star Huo Elder too much. He certainly would not send out an eradication announcement with such fanfare just for Dafang Sect and Mo Wen. There is most likely some other agenda at play. If my suspicions are correct, they are most likely trying to kill two birds with one stone. This plan is a diversion.”

Granny Hong Yan narrowed her eyes slightly. Although she was not as old as Huo Qize, she was of the same generation and understood his personality. Unless the Dafang Sect had truly committed an unforgivable sin, it was almost impossible for Huo Qize to openly send out an eradication announcement. After all, this concerned the public opinion of the martial art circle. Even if he wanted to eradicate the Dafang Sect, he would have done so in secret and not with such fanfare.

“Granny, you mean to say that the Crimson Star Sect wants to establish their dominance?” Yan Qiuyun’s eyes flashed as she suddenly realized something. By sending out an eradication announcement with such fanfare, they could eradicate the Dafang Sect and also establish their dominance over others. Was this the Crimson Star Sect’s plan to kill two birds with one stone?

“That’s right. Usually, Huo Qize would definitely not do anything like this. Seeing that the Martial Arts Circle Convention is approaching, various sects are making preparations and warming-up, hoping to amaze the world during the event and reap great benefits. Right now, the Crimson Star Sect plans to eradicate the Dafang Sect and also let the whole world know about it to establish their dominance. That way, they can reduce their competitors during the Martial Arts Circle Convention,” Granny Hong Yan said with a cold smile. Huo Qize, this old fellow, was sly and crafty. Everything he did had a goal in mind.

“So that’s what it is.” Yan Qiuyun nodded her head. As the Yanxia Sect’s sect leader, she had already experienced several Martial Arts Circle Conventions. She deeply understood how fierce the competition during the event could get. Although for the past few years, the Yanxia Sect was just an observer and could not participate in the real competition, the atmosphere was something that anyone could feel.

Every Martial Arts Circle Convention had many changes. Even the Crimson Star Sect that was ranked fourth could not guarantee that they would be ranked among the Ten Great Sects every time. Dark horses frequently appeared during the Martial Arts Circle Conventions.

Before this, she had not understood why this was the case. But right now, she understood slightly.

“Granny, the Crimson Star Sect wants to eradicate the Dafang Sect. What will our Yanxia Sect do?”

The series of three big Mountain Ranges had a self-defense agreement. When there were invaders, all the ancient martial art practitioner sects in the Mountain Ranges had to unite to face them. According to the agreement, if the Crimson Star Sect wanted to deal with the Dafang Sect, the Yanxia Sect could not disregard it. The Crimson Star Sect’s announcement that it wanted to eradicate the Dafang Sect was equal to it making enemies of the entire series of three big Mountain Ranges.

“Wait and see. The powers behind the Crimson Star Sect are not as straightforward as you imagine. If the Crimson Star Sect must eradicate the Dafang Sect, our Yanxia Sect will not have any choice. Even if we have the support of ‘them’, ‘they’ will most likely not interfere in such matters.”

Granny Hong Yan sighed softly. The series of three big Mountain Ranges had an agreement to advance and retreat together. It had been kept for centuries. But right now, against the threat of the Crimson Star Sect, they were also helpless to do anything, especially at this hour.

If it were any ordinary time, they might have possibly evaded the danger. This could well have been the case if the series of three big Mountain Ranges took a bet and united, together with the interference of the Huatian Palace, But the Martial Arts Circle Convention was approaching. Knowing the background of the Crimson Star Sect, Granny Hong Yan understood what it meant.

“If we disregard them and abandon the agreement, in the future, won’t our Yanxia Sect bear infamy?” Ruan Feixia’s expression was ugly. She had grown up in the series of three big Mountain Ranges and had deep feelings for it. At the same time, she also knew how important and grave the agreement was for the series of three big Mountain Ranges. Abandoning the agreement meant turning their backs on the series of three big Mountain Ranges.

“It’s not that we don’t want to save them, but we don’t have the means to do so. Feixia, you are still young. Many things in the martial art circle are beyond our control.” Granny Hong Yan shook her head. Leaning against her cane, she got up. This matter clearly had no room for discussion.

“Master, since we also have people supporting us from behind the scenes, we do not need to fear the Crimson Star Sect. So why would we abandon the agreement rather than save the Dafang Sect?” Ruan Feixia asked, puzzled. If the Dafang Sect was eradicated under such circumstances, then in the future, most likely everyone in the series of three big Mountain Ranges would feel insecure. Some other sects would then believe that they were pushovers and were not united, coming over to reap the benefits.

“Just because we have people supporting us behind the scenes doesn’t mean we have the ability to do go to their aid. In a battle amongst gods, do mortals have a say?”

Yan Qiuyun sighed softly and then turned and left. She clearly knew that the people supporting their Yanxia Sect only did so for the upcoming Martial Arts Circle Convention. They certainly would not support the Yanxia Sect in other matters.

.....

The Ghost Physicians Hu Clan was also in a state of panic. They had already sworn allegiance to the Dafang Sect. If the Dafang Sect was eradicated, it would not bode well for them.

“The Crimson Star Sect has sent out an eradication announcement. It has spread to the entire martial art circle. How did this happen?”

“What exactly did the Dafang Sect do? Why does the Crimson Star Sect threaten to eradicate the entire Dafang Sect?”

“This matter is most likely related to Sect Leader Mo Wen. The Crimson Star Sect has already requested that he head over and die as an apology. I wonder what the sect leader will do?”

“What’s all this racket about? A dignified large clan panicking in such a manner! What is this? Is our Ghost Physicians Hu Clan unable to deal with crisis despite its centuries-old heritage?” A cold voice sounded in the hall. The noisy discussions came to an abrupt end.

“The Crimson Star Sect has gone too far. It is not the fault of the Dafang Sect and is not the fault of the sect leader. If we cannot stand it, we don’t have to. We strive for vindication. If the Crimson Star Sect insults us to such an extent, what’s wrong with fighting them to the bloody end?”

These words were spoken by Hu Tianfeng, who had just returned to the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan. After the incident at the hospital, he knew that the matter would not end well. That was why he had immediately returned to the clan.

“Old ancestor, the Crimson Star Sect is a powerful existence ranked fourth among the Ten Great Sects. Our Ghost Physicians Hu Clan, even with the Dafang Sect, is far from being a match for the Crimson Star Sect. To fight the Crimson Star Sect to the bloody end will see us court defeat by fighting against overwhelming odds. Won’t we be seeking our own deaths?” a steward of the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan said, trembling with fear.

Very few people did not know about the prestige of the Crimson Star Sect. They were not only prestigious in the series of three big Mountain Ranges. In the entire martial art circle, their fame was awe-inspiring.

“What about it? If we are no match for them, are we supposed to let them insult us as they please?” Hu Tianfeng coldly glanced at the steward.

The steward was so scared that he turned pale. He hurriedly lowered his head and said, “That is not what I meant. I am worried about the future of our Hu Clan.”

“The future is not in our hands, but the hands of the younger generation of the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan. Hu Qiongqi, fall out.” Hu Tianfeng coldly cast a glance at the crowd in the hall. Finally, his gaze settled on Hu Qiongqi.

“Grandfather.” Hu Qiongqi walked out and slightly lowered his head. He did not know what his grandfather wanted him to do.

“Bring along all the young adults of the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan and immediately leave with the elderly, women and children. Hide away in the bases deep within the mountains that our Hu Clan has been building these past few years. If the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan is eradicated, the Hu Clan will isolate themselves for fifty years, no longer showing ourselves in the world,” Hu Tianfeng said coldly. He had already found his determination to fight to the bloody end. Of course, he had to consider the future of the clan. He had to leave behind some successors to one day rise again.

“Grandfather!” Hu Qiongqi’s eyes were teary and he was choking up. He had not thought that the issue was so severe.

The expressions of everyone in the hall changed drastically. They all suddenly fell silent.

“Just do what I ask you to do quickly. Stop spouting nonsense here. Within one day, you must evacuate completely from here.” Hu Tianfeng coldly snorted.

“Grandfather, it is not in my nature to run away. I want to die alongside the rest of the clan.” Hu Qiongqi stood motionless on his original spot. He had no intention of moving.

“Presumptuous!” Hu Tianfeng sent him flying with a slap, knocking him unconscious there and then. Right now, Hu Tianfeng was in no mood to deal with Hu Qiongqi’s nonsense.

“Hu Guiyuan, step out. You are the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan’s clan leader. In the future, the Hu Clan is up to you. Take this b*st*rd away. You will handle the evacuation.”

Hu Tianfeng waved his hand, and the unconscious Hu Qiongqi flew into Hu Guiyuan’s arms.

“Father, I understand.” Hu Guiyuan took a deep breath. He then turned and walked out of the hall, arranging the members to evacuate. He clearly understood his father’s personality. Right now, he absolutely could not go against his father’s decision.

“All of you do not need to feel too pressured. I am just preparing for the worst-case scenario. The Dafang Sect is no pushover. The sect leader has already broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm. With the sect leader’s talents, he won’t necessarily be afraid of the Crimson Star Sect,” Hu Tianfeng said as he swept a glance at the hall which was in low spirits. His tone became slightly more relaxed.

“What? The sect leader has already broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm?”

“Good heavens, the Golden Elixir Realm. What sort of cultivation is it? I never even imagined it in my dreams.”

“That’s wonderful! Wasn’t the Crimson Star Sect relying on that Golden Elixir Realm old thing? Right now, our Dafang Sect also has such a strong practitioner.”
