Chapter 341: Chaos

"Are you unwilling?"

Within the Green Bronze Hall, Li Qin gazed at the silhouette beneath him and frowned.

"Grandfather..."

Li Bai knelt down and was pale. "I have only just become a dream master. It is extremely risky for me to take up a mission now! How can the few elders in the Realm Alliance be so selfish as to sacrifice us to protect their direct disciples!"

"What rubbish!"

Li Qin frowned once more and had a serious look on his face. "Don’t spout such nonsense... even before me! Keep these thoughts to yourself, otherwise... I will personally send you to the battlefield with the highest casualty rates to show my loyalty to the alliance. Do you understand?"

"Under... understood!"

Li Bai could see a chilly look in his grandfather’s eyes as he acknowledged while shivering in fear. Following, he became silent for a while before hesitating to ask again. "Can I not go? The secluded 9 Extremes Mountain is among the top ten most dangerous places in Da Qian... Even if I have support from outside, it is still too dangerous!"

"... There are no more other suitable places for you to go. You can sit out of this one, but if anything happens, you will be sent out to the frontline!"

Li Qin paused for a while before continuing. "Although that place is dangerous, if you do accept to go there, you are entitled to reject any other requests. This is the best I can do for you. Appreciate what I am doing for you. At your age, I killed many and stained my hands with blood before returning alive. People would fight to go there, but here you are, unwilling!"

It was not a sudden decision to start a war with Da Qian. The dream masters would have to ascertain their base camp before they could start eliminating those that didn’t matter before the war. These were people without sects and backing of any organisations and could be Wu Zongs, spiritual knights or even lone dream masters. Everyone had to choose a side; no one would be allowed to stay neutral!

By that time, since the Realm Alliance had the least requirements to enter, there would surely be a lot of dream masters begging to join!

Unfortunately, Li Bai could not understand his grandfather’s goodwill.

"But..."

Li Bai hesitated. "How did Fang Yuan become the guardian of the prosperous land?"

Li Qin’s face went black. "He was fortunate enough to have settled that deal before all of these began. He had just taken over as guardian before everything changed. What can we do?"

However, inside him, Li Qin felt unjust as he gritted his teeth with hatred.

The job of a guardian was a lucrative one to begin with. It would become much more valuable during wartime and it would be impossible for there to be any vacancies.

"Don’t worry. Wait at the 9 Extremes Mountain. As long as you don’t enter the secret realm, you would not be in any true danger. In the future, you would surely have the opportunity to become the guardian of a prosperous land!"

Li Qin gave a cold look as he mulled.

Zhou Tian’s plan against Fang Yuan should have worked out by now. Fang Yuan would be pressurised and surely cannot retaliate!

After getting rid of Fang Yuan, the appointment of a guardian would be made available once more and therefore, Li Qin would be able to help his grandson become the next guardian.

"Is this true?"

Hearing this, Li Bai’s worried look become one of happiness. "Grandfather, you must help me!"

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, a fiery glow shot into the Green Bronze Hall. It was a small sword with a piece of beautiful jade attached to it. The jade was filled with essences of elemental force.

"This..."

Li Qin’s expression changed as though he had a bad premonition about something. With his index finger, he touched the surface of the sword.

"My old friend, Li Qin!"

From the small sword, Zhou Tian’s voice was heard. "Regarding the issue about Fang Yuan, I have decided not to get myself involved. I shall return you the Mysterious Elemental Crystal in its original state... Let me warn you that this person has already attained the 4th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage and his level of rights has been increased to that of a 4th Leaf Cultivator. He is now as powerful as the both of us and is an extremely dangerous person. It is going to be hard to deal with him!"

"What? 4th Tier?"

Li Qin let out a gush of spiritual aura which exploded in mid-air, as though he had lost control of something. "That brat... How could he advance so quickly?"

"A 4th Leaf Cultivator?"

Li Bai was stunned as well.

This meant that Fang Yuan was one of the more powerful dream masters in the alliance and would be accorded certain rights. To Li Bai, this was a powerful person which should be given utmost respect.

"Brat!"

Li Qin’s eyes were filled with fury. "Fang... Fang Yuan!"

If Fang Yuan’s first words to him were akin to planting seeds of phobia within his mind, then Fang Yuan’s rapid advancement would be akin to slapping him in the face!

"What a world! What a cruel world!"

Most importantly, the source of the news was from a higher up and therefore, Li Qin could not deny this fact.

In times of chaos, everyone had to give way to those who would rise to power quickly.

Previously, Li Qin had also gotten help to achieve a breakthrough to the 4th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage. However, since then, his progress seemed to come to a halt.

How long ago was it since he had attempted the extremely-dangerous dream-traversing?

Li Qin appeared depressed. "I’ve used up a lot of resources to achieve my breakthrough many years ago, as well as owing many others favours! Even my progression in terms of my level of rights is halted, and yet you can catch up within a day. You’re good..."

"Grandfather, don’t be angry..."

Li Bai tried to appease Li Qin and felt that his grandfather was on the verge of becoming crazy.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine!"

Li Qin waved his hands. "It’s just that it has been a while since I fought, and I don’t want others to look down on me! Take your leave, I shall remain in isolation!"

The impending war and the threat from a newcomer both gave him a sense of danger!

Under such stimulation, this old dream master would finally resume his training!

...

In the Golden Sun Prosperous Land.

Fang Yuan called Meng Tian and Meng Guang over to tell them about the change in the quantity requested for the resources. Both of them were overjoyed. "Congratulations, Lord! You no longer have to worry about it!"

"Mmm, carry on with your work!"

Fang Yuan waved his hands. Although he was not hopeful for the two of them to begin with, he was completely convinced that he should not waste effort in training them up.

"Eh... sometimes, animals are more loyal than humans... I wonder how are the Flower Fox Ferret and company doing?"

Fang Yuan was lost in his own thoughts. "If I can improve my cultivation in the future, I might be able to return to the mainland and the Green Peak spiritual land to visit them..."

Of course, Fang Yuan knew that he owed nothing to both the Wu Zongs. In such a short time, he knew that it was impossible for them to die for him. Even the previous guardian might have a higher chance of getting the both of them to be loyal to him.

"I’ve settled everything at Zhou Tian’s side and my level of rights has now increased to that of a 4th Leaf Cultivator. I’m afraid there’s not a lot Li Qin can do to me now... The older we get, the more afraid of death we will be. Even if I do not pay him a visit, he would surely train himself up and prepare himself for a death match with me..."

Fang Yuan’s eyes glistened.

He knew that since Zhou Tian had nothing to gain from their conflict, he would be easily scared by the thought of a death match. However, it was different for Li Qin!

If Fang Yuan were to visit him, he might just agree to the death match.

Although Fang Yuan had a chance of winning, ultimately, Li Qin was an experienced dream master in the 4th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage and would have many tricks up his sleeves. Li Qin might even be able to force Fang Yuan to reveal his secret 4 Emblems Sword Array.

Now that he had scared Zhou Tian, Fang Yuan should not press further and should cowardly hide within the prosperous land to train up.

"Since time is on my side and that I’ve settled Zhou Tian, let’s see what else can Li Qin do!"

With the speed of his cultivation, Fang Yuan was not afraid of Li Qin!

If he could quickly advance and attain the 7th Tier of Illusionary Divine, killing Li Qin would be a simple task!

"Furthermore... Is a war really breaking out? The alliance would have to kill the lone cultivators..."

As a 4th Leaf Cultivator, he had a high level of rights in the alliance and was entitled to some classified secrets.

With a casual browse, Fang Yuan was able to obtain all these information.

For instance, the alliance had stocked up on war supplies and resources and was now prepared to wipe out the small organisations. Furthermore, the alliance had secretly raised the requirements for entry and no longer accepted lone cultivators readily.

"If the current Feng Xinzi were to approach me then, I would not dare to join the realm alliance - I might be sacrificed in the war!"

Fang Yuan felt a little fearful. "What if I want to remain as a lone cultivator? I’ll have to get approval from the other organisations as well? This is tough..."

All of these are in preparation for the impending war!

There were only a few lone cultivators in the entire world that were worthy of the alliance to take notice of them.

"This war is either among the 5 Grand Organisations or against Da Qian!"

With that thought, Fang Yuan closed his eyes...

...

Gold Region.

This region was North of the Jade Capital and was famous for the 10 over gold mines scattered around the region.

Although gold was not as valuable as they used to be in Fang Yuan’s past life, they still worthed a fortune to the average person.

More importantly, there were mysterious treasures around the gold mines; treasures that even dream masters require.

Therefore, this region was extremely well-to-do. There were many sects, and the leading sect was Golden Peak Sect.

At Chaoyang Sect, Maple Town.

"Die!"

With a crackling noise, the entire gate of Chaoyang Sect crumbled.

"Ahhhh... How dare you?"

The sect head of Chaoyang Sect was a 4th Tier spiritual knight. He was devastated as soon as he witnessed this. "Who is this? What hatred do you have with us?"

"You don’t need to know all these!"

The black figure snickered. With the wave of his hands, a black fog appeared and started to spread.

"It’s a dream master!"

In the black fog came the shocking voice of the sect head. "The Golden Peak Sect will avenge us!"

"Hehe... You spiritual knights and Wu Zongs have occupied Gold Region for long and have enjoyed the treasures here long enough. Yet, all of you contributed nothing! My sect has endured this for long. Let me tell you, even the Golden Peak Sect cannot run away from us!"

A voice as sharp as a nightingale was heard. There were hints of cruelty and evil in the voice.

Not long after, the black fog dispersed, revealing a broken gate.

The sect head of Chaoyang Sect stared at the rubble and leaned against the wall. In his chest, there was a big hole and his organs were lying outside the body. He died a gruesome death.

"Chaoyang Sect is destroyed!"

As the black fog intensified, 10 silhouettes appeared. "After this, we shall go for Green Bamboo Sect... After wiping them out one by one, we shall finally eradicate Golden Peak Sect! By then, the elder in our sect will help us as well! Hehe, the Golden Peak Sect has made use of the Imperial Court’s support and discriminated against us in Gold Region. Finally, it’s their retribution!"
