Chapter 2578 One Is Guilty of Treasuring a Jade!

...

The internal turmoil in the Kunlun Sect, although initiated by Qin Fang, was something Qin Fang did not delve into. Instead, he acted as if nothing had happened, leisurely staying out of the situation…

According to the original plan, after the Five Sect competition, disciples from each of the great sects would return to their own sects, and even Qin Fang would go to the Kunlun Mountain Gate… Although he was already a Kunlun Disciple, he had only gone through a simple entry ritual and needed to return to the mountain gate to honor the ancestors, which would count as officially entering the sect.

However, Qin Fang rejected such a plan…

The reason was simple. Although the Azure Heart was still in his possession, Elder Qingyuan's greedy intentions were not dead, and he did not want to voluntarily walk into the tiger's mouth…

Faced with such a "sufficient" reason, Qing Xu Lao Dao couldn't argue and could only let Qin Fang do as he wished… At least until he settled the internal sect conflicts completely, he did not want Qin Fang involved.

"Qin Fang, be very careful while you're out alone!"

Qing Xu Lao Dao counted as a fairly decent person, repeatedly reminding Qin Fang to be cautious.

Returning to the mountain gate might also be dangerous, but it mainly involved sect internal struggles. Even if he failed, there was no threat to his life, but outside it was completely different… After the Five Sect competition, Qin Fang had officially emerged in the martial world.

Not only did the other four sects of the Five Great Sects pay attention to him, but even people from the Evil Sect and the Demon Sect also took note of him…

In future activities, it would be easy to run into conflicts with these sects, even bringing about a life-threatening situation…

With the Kunlun Sect as a backing, those sects would at least be somewhat apprehensive and not too brazen, but outside it was different. It would easily become a situation where even if Kunlun Sect knew who did it, they couldn't retaliate without solid evidence.

"Understood, Master…"

Responding once more to Qing Xu Lao Dao, Qin Fang bid farewell to the others from Kunlun Sect and left from Shangri-La, preparing to return to Ninghai.

The people from the Evil Sect had already left earlier, and although the Poison Demon Pang Sihai wanted to communicate with Qin Fang, there was no suitable opportunity. But they had exchanged contact information, and if there were opportunities later, they would still get in touch.

Jia Siping also returned with the Blood Demon Sect team. Though it looked like he had no connection with Qin Fang, outside of Pang Sihai, no one knew that he was a crucial pawn Qin Fang had planted in the Demon Sect.

Unfortunately, the relationship between the Evil Sect and Demon Sect was worse than that between the Righteous Path and Evil Sect. Besides this cooperation, they were always opposed… Even if Pang Sihai knew this secret, he wouldn't disclose it.

Because there was no meaning in disclosing it…

The Evil Sect wanted to use this to coerce Jia Siping, but that was impossible as Jia Siping would only take orders from Qin Fang.

Qin Fang had left…

But some people and certain things wouldn't declare an end simply because Qin Fang had left.

"That kid is very powerful; even if you and I made a personal move, there'd only be sixty to seventy percent chance of success…"

A husky, low voice in the dark seemed worried.

"Rest assured about that! I've arranged for extremely strong and skilled assassins to intercept him… If he can still escape, then I won't mix in the martial world anymore…"

Another person also hidden in the shadows, invisible even, spoke with great confidence; the voice neither sounded male nor female, giving an impression difficult to determine the gender.

"If that's the case, I feel much more reassured…"

The person earlier seemed persuaded, relaxed in tone, "After the deed is done, of the many treasures on him, I only want one. The rest… are yours!"

"Of course…"

The other person gave a brief reply and then fell silent, as did the first person after a while, disappearing without a trace.

"Hehe, truly confident kids… I really hope your dream can come true!"

As these two left one after another, a figure appeared silently in the dark, murmuring softly. After which, a cape flared up, and the person quickly vanished into the pitch-black night.

If the angle were right, leveraging the bright moonlight as a backdrop, maybe one could spot that giant 'bat' flying through the sky.

Unfortunately, it wasn't a real bat but… a person.

"Truly unyielding greed…"

When this 'bat' caught up with Qin Fang, it reported the conversation briefly to him, causing a chilling killing intent to appear on Qin Fang's face…

Among the two people in the conversation, one was the Chief Elder of the Kunlun Sect's Elders Council, Qingyuan Elder. As for the other person, even though the identity was unclear, the strength was quite formidable, not weaker than Qingyuan Elder's…

The secret conversation between these two individuals, whose strength had long reached the level of Great Grandmaster Peak experts, was self-assuredly hidden, believed by them to be undiscovered; little did they know, someone had long been lurking here, awaiting the revelation of their secrets...

And this eavesdropper, this peeper, was none other than the newly minted Supreme powerhouse "hired" by Qin Fang, the Blue-wing Bat King Wei Chunqiu...

The Five Sect Martial Contest was a competition for young disciples, in which Wei Chunqiu was utterly unhelpful.

Entering the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm was also the matter of the young disciples; Wei Chunqiu indeed wanted to enter, but he neither had the qualifications nor the strength to do so...

Yet Qin Fang couldn't keep him for nothing; after discovering Elder Qingyuan's strange objectives, he immediately arranged for the Blue-wing Bat King Wei Chunqiu to secretly shadow him...

On this journey, the only Supreme Realm powerhouse from the Kunlun Sect was Qing Xu Lao Dao; the strongest among the others was merely a Half-Step Supreme... Thus, aside from Qing Xu Lao Dao, no one else could detect Wei Chunqiu.

Yet Elder Qingyuan and Qing Xu Lao Dao were incompatible, even conspiring to oust Qing Xu Lao Dao from his sect leader position; thus, upon leaving Shangri-La, they immediately parted ways... Though their ultimate direction was the same, at least before entering the Kunlun Mountain Gate, they were each plotting their own moves.

This gave the Blue-wing Bat King Wei Chunqiu quite the advantage...

With his unmatched Qinggong, not only did he move extremely fast, but gathering intelligence came with ease.

For instance, the matter of Elder Qingyuan plotting against Qin Fang with someone else was passed word-for-word to Qin Fang through Wei Chunqiu's mouth...

"Investigate and clarify the identities and backgrounds of another group..."

After a brief silence, Qin Fang simply instructed Wei Chunqiu.

"What about Elder Qingyuan's side..."

Wei Chunqiu couldn't help but ask, although his task wasn't simple, maintaining Qin Fang's safety seemed precarious.

"As long as they haven't deployed Supreme realm powerhouses, they can't do anything to me... Even if I can't win, I'm confident I can escape!"

Qin Fang spoke unconcernedly but did not explain in detail.

Wei Chunqiu said no more and immediately took off to investigate the identity of the other mysterious individual... From several circumstances, it could be inferred that this mysterious figure had grievances with Qin Fang, at least unwilling to see him rise.

"Supreme experts..."

Qin Fang wasn't as optimistic as he sounded; he had his own concerns,

"It seems I must hasten the recovery of the Split Wind Wolf King... While its strength may not suffice against Emperor-level experts, it can certainly contend with Supreme realm powerhouses, even against the Evil Spirit Sword Sovereign Shi Songyun!"

This was one of Qin Fang's trump cards against Supreme realm powerhouses, yet this card hadn't recovered, requiring his extra efforts.

"Spirit Gathering Array..."

To accelerate the recovery of the Split Wind Wolf King's injuries, Qin Fang placed a large piece of the Barbaric God Stone beside it, contemplating forming a small Spirit Gathering Array with the smaller pieces of the stone.

For no other reason than to expedite the absorption of barbaric energy by the Split Wind Wolf King, thus hastening its recovery...

"Elder Qingyuan, I'll be waiting for you..."

As for Elder Qingyuan, who had already planned to act against Qin Fang, Qin Fang muttered with a cold smile... After undergoing five days of cultivation, struggle, and striving in the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm, Qin Fang's strength had reached an impressive peak.

Others assumed he had only just entered the Great Grandmaster level, barely condensing his Protective Gang Qi...

Yet who knew, his current strength was just a smidge away from advancing from the early stage to the mid-stage of the Great Grandmaster level... At Grandmaster-level Peak, he possessed the prowess to battle Great Grandmaster-level Peak, and now he was invincible at the Great Grandmaster level.

Elder Qingyuan had long lost hope of advancement, yet his accumulated reserves were terrifyingly vast, coupled with decades of combat experience unmatchable by Qin Fang...

But before absolute Strength, Elder Qingyuan's accumulated capital was utterly insignificant...

If it were someone else, they might be worried and fearful.

Like a startled rabbit, they might sprint frantically, flee as far as possible...

Not Qin Fang,

He did not choose to flee in panic but rather appeared exceedingly relaxed, seemingly waiting for Elder Qingyuan's retaliation...

"Target confirmed..."

As Qin Fang left Shangri-La, preparing to head to the nearest airport to catch a flight back to Ninghai, someone had already set their sights on him... A hidden black hand slowly closed in on Qin Fang!
