Chapter 587: Chapter 281: The Yan Family Wishes to Utilize the Power of the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect_2
“Or, to bury those things in someplace unknown to others?”
“Sometimes, you really need to use your brain more.”
Fu Qiu nodded emphatically and said, “Brother Luo is indeed reasonable. Since that is the case, I will proceed with the plan according to what Brother Luo has suggested.”
…
After discussing the most important matters,
Luo Changfeng and Fu Qiu
...
sat silently beneath the Stone Pavilion.
Sipping tea, they savored the tranquility of the moment.
Although Fu Qiu was just the Deputy Sect Master of the Great Feng Dynasty’s branch of the Wan Dan Sect,
his title was Deputy Sect Master,
yet he did all the work that a Sect Master should do.
As for Luo Changfeng, the current Sect Master of the sub-sect,
this guy was simply a hands-off manager.
He hardly ever dealt with any affairs himself.
“Brother Luo,”
“what kind of dispute exists between the Divine Elixir Sect’s Qin Family and the other two families of the Wan Dan Sect to have escalated to this level?”
Under the Stone Pavilion,
Fu Qiu asked softly as he drank his tea.
He truly didn’t understand this matter.
If it weren’t for this mess, the Wan Dan Sect’s control over the Xuanyuan Continent’s elixir market would definitely be the strongest.
Inside the Xuanyuan Continent, the vast majority of alchemists
were almost all under the Wan Dan Sect’s banner.
The strength of the Wan Dan Sect was unquestionably formidable.
But, what was somewhat unexpected
was that during such a prosperous time for the Wan Dan Sect, the Qin Family, one of the three major alchemist families, chose to break away from the Wan Dan Sect.
They even took nearly a third of the sub-sects
and a massive amount of resources from within the Wan Dan Sect.
Directly establishing the Divine Elixir Sect,
they stood in opposition to the Wan Dan Sect.
Although due to the matter of the Shou Family in Nanhuang Divine State the relationship between these two forces has somewhat eased,
the enmity between these two alchemist powers was thoroughly established.
Expecting these two alchemist powers to continue to peacefully coexist in the future
is now an impossibility.
“What dispute?”
Hearing this, Luo Changfeng pondered for a moment and then replied with a smile, “It’s all about some issues related to interests. The larger the force, the more complex its internal structure tends to be. Just take the three major alchemist families of the Wan Dan Sect, for example; they might coexist peacefully on normal days, but when someone tampers with their own interests,”
“all sorts of disputes will hence emerge.”
“Perhaps that’s what happened with the Qin Family of alchemists.”
“However, what the true situation is,”
“probably only the higher-ups of the Wan Dan Sect and Divine Elixir Sect know.”
“No matter what, the emergence of the Divine Elixir Sect is overall advantageous for us.”
“The unchanging alchemist power landscape on the Xuanyuan Continent for countless years is finally set to experience some different changes because of the Divine Elixir Sect’s emergence.”
…
Not long after,
that old fellow Fu Qiu left the small courtyard,
apparently because there were many things within the sub-sect that still needed his attention.
Although he was somewhat reluctant to leave such tranquility,
he was, after all, the Deputy Sect Master of the sub-sect,
and he inevitably had things to take care of.
He wasn’t like a certain hands-off manager
who could simply delegate all affairs within the sub-sect to others.
Of course, when Fu Qiu talked about these things,
he looked at his Brother Luo with a particularly wistful gaze,
while Luo Changfeng, on the other hand, seemed as if blind to this,
completely unaware of the situation.
…
With the departure of old fellow Fu Qiu,
within the small courtyard, beneath the Stone Pavilion,
only Luo Changfeng remained.
At this moment, Luo Changfeng silently held a cup of tea.
He didn’t drink, just silently held it,
his head slightly raised, gazing into the distance with a rather serene expression.
He seemed to be in a daze, as if pondering something else entirely.
“Right,”
“I forgot to ask how Miao Qi has been doing lately,”
“After all, that little fellow did learn by my side for a month,”
Thinking of this,
Luo Changfeng couldn’t help but let out a slight sigh.
Forget it, since I’ve forgotten,
I’ll just ask next time.
…
Time flew by swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.
Inside the imperial palace of the Great Flame Dynasty,
Yan Buming, the current emperor of the Great Flame Dynasty, was standing quietly outside a palace,
with his hands clasped behind his back, his expression extremely calm as he watched ahead.
“Your Majesty,”
“the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect of the Da Feng Dynasty has sent a message saying they need to see tangible benefits, not uncertain future gains…”
Beside Yan Buming,
a Death Warrior dressed in black suddenly appeared within his line of sight.
“Tangible benefits?”
Upon hearing this, Yan Buming’s brows couldn’t help but slightly furrow.
About three to five minutes later,

Yan Buming let out a sigh.
The so-called five-year fiscal revenue of the Great Flame Dynasty was indeed an empty promise,
If they could rely on the power of the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect to successfully take over the territory of the Luo Family in Qingshi City,
and even kill off the Da Feng Dynasty that had been in existence for thousands of years, with its powerful strength and deep foundations,
what would it matter to the Yan Family if they paid these prices?
Even after paying these prices, the Yan Family would still be profiting.
However, what caught Yan Buming by surprise was
that the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect of the Da Feng Dynasty had even put forth such a demand.
In his understanding, those who focused on alchemy
shouldn’t possess such cunning and calculating minds.
But why? Why would the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect make such a demand?
Was someone teaching them from behind, or was it…
simply his own overthinking?
“Your Majesty, how should I respond to the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect?”
A moment later,
the Death Warrior kneeling on one knee, his face full of respect, asked once again.
Under this series of inquiries, Yan Buming gradually came back to his senses.
He looked at the Death Warrior in black beside him,
thought for a moment, then responded, “Since the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect has made such a request, we can shed some blood and agree to their terms. If merely paying such a price can exchange for such a powerful aid, we are still making a profitable deal.”
After saying this, Yan Buming waved his hand.
As the Death Warrior dressed in black beside him disappeared from the spot, vanishing from Yan Buming’s line of sight,
Yan Buming, the current emperor of the Great Flame Dynasty,
silently raised his head, still looking in the direction of the Luo Family in Qingshi City.
The plan leveraging the Five Elements Immortal Sect had failed.
Securing the power of the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect of the Da Feng Dynasty was nearly a done deal.
Next, what he needed to do was,
like boiling a frog in warm water,
slowly kill off the Luo Family in Qingshi City,
bit by bit.
Of course, he couldn’t be too hasty in the process.
Should the Luo Family in Qingshi City become desperate and fight back in a last-ditch struggle due to excessive pressure, that would be a loss not worth the gain.
For an influence like the Luo Family, with Mortal Transcendence Realm cultivators in command,
the more stable the approach, the better.
“The Luo Family in Qingshi City is nearly in my grasp,”
“After the downfall of the Luo Family in Qingshi City,”
“what next step should I take?”
“Should I act against the Great Flame Dynasty itself, or should I strike at the White Brahma Temple in the White Lotus Prefecture?”
As he pondered,
a glint of light suddenly flashed in Yan Buming’s eyes.
He thought of the other forces apart from those two,
the various large and small family powers outside the territory of the Da Feng Dynasty,
were also quite decent options indeed.
