Chapter 353: Dangerous People
The Death Flower Ascension Front was like a sect.
It had a leader, several tiers of powerful elders, and a large group of ordinary members.
The leader was called Siwang.
However, no one had ever seen the leader!
In every high-level meeting, a throne would be prepared for the leader, but she had never appeared. Instead, a female voice would mysteriously issue from the empty throne.
Below the leader were three holy envoys.
The leader appointed the envoys, and their cultivation was half a step into the reincarnation realm.
Unfortunately, they were restricted by the Cangxing world and couldn’t break through.
Under the three holy envoys were the sixteen pillars.
Each pillar had a cultivation level above the late stage of the nascent soul realm and was responsible for a region of the Cangxing world.
Other than the leader, three holy envoys, and sixteen pillars, there were the thirty-six guardians, the seventy-elders, and the one hundred and eight chiefs.
Given the structure of the Death Flower Ascension Front, it was not difficult for the disciples in the Nine Treasures secret realm to organise.
While the orthodox side was still deciding how to form a council, the Death Flower Ascension Front had already started a meeting.
This time, to ensure victory, the Death Flower Ascension Front sent three pillar elders and twelve guardian elders to accompany the origin tempering realm members into the secret realm.
"There is no need to panic. This war was expected." One of the pillar elders spoke.
Her name was Liu Bai, and her cultivation was at the peak of the nascent soul realm.
Before the bounty list was released, she was an elder of the sword sect and a pillar elder of the sword sect region.
"Elder sister Liu is right. Our Front is better organised and has an advantage." Another pillar elder said.
His name was Ma Dong, and his cultivation was at the late stage of the nascent soul realm.
Until the release of the bounty list, he was a pillar elder of the Beast region.
"We need to hit them before they organise." The last pillar elder spoke.
He had a cruel look on his face, and some of the junior disciples couldn’t help but shudder.
Aside from being a pillar elder of the Death Flower Ascension Front, his other identity was an elder of the Corpse Yin sect.
His nature was cruel, and he was famous for raping female cultivators wherever he went.
"Daoist Duan is right." Liu Bai said with a frown on her lips.
As a woman, she naturally disliked Duan Buzhi.
Unfortunately, they shared a mission, and she had no choice but to cooperate with him.
"How many nascent souls do they have?" Ma Dong asked.
"We don’t know this." One of the twelve guardian elders started and quickly continued.
"It’s difficult to tell since they have suppressed their cultivation and are likely wearing masks."
"Let some people keep an eye on the other side." Liu Bai said, and a disciple ran out to implement the order.
After that, the group discussed a few things before Shen Ru had a chance to speak.
When Shen Ru was a qi transformation realm cultivator, she was one of the one hundred and eight chiefs of the Death Flower Ascension Front.
Now that she was an origin tempering realm cultivator, her identity had risen from a chief to an ordinary elder.
However, she was not satisfied with being ordinary.
At this time, she hoped to contribute to show her value to the three pillar elders and twelve guardian elders.
"Among those in my generation, these few are the most dangerous." She said and gave everyone a jade card.
"No matter what, we must find a chance to eliminate them." She continued.
"The young emperor of the Great Zhu empire has inherited the absolute ice of his ancestor. He should be dealt with as soon as possible." Someone said, and others quickly agreed.
The most dangerous aspect of the young emperor was that he could make crowd attacks.
If a group of people were frozen by his ice attacks, they would die, and even if they didn’t, they would be unable to protect themselves against subsequent attacks.
"Jiang Yue is also a dangerous one." Shen Ru commented, and everyone turned to her.
"His illusion and formation skills are extraordinary. From my information, his formation mastery has already reached the fifth level."
"Fifth level..." Liu Bai muttered and frowned.
Even if her cultivation was not suppressed, she would still be wary of a fifth-level formation master.
"This person must be dealt with as soon as possible. We can’t allow him to set up a formation." Ma Dong said, and everyone agreed.
"If you want to deal with him, you must also plan for Yu Nianzhen." Shen Ru informed.
"Why is that?" Duan Buzhi asked.
"Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen are Taoist companions. They are rarely apart."
"What does it matter if they are together or apart?" Duan Buzhi sneered.
In his eyes, there was no need to worry about a pair of origin tempering realm Taoist companions.
Even with his cultivation suppressed, he was still sure of dealing with the origin tempering realm brats in the secret realm.
"Daiost Duan shouldn’t underestimate Yu Nianzhen." Liu Bai warned.
"I saw his fights during the Ice Palace martial contest. If his strength has improved, he can be counted as one of the most powerful people in the secret realm."
When Duan Buzhi heard that, he sneered in disdain.
"Elder sister Liu shouldn’t lower our prestige to raise that of others." He said and then had a brilliant idea.
"Why don’t I take the task of eliminating Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue?" He said.
"Brother Duan, your identity is one of the sixteen pillars of our Death Flower Ascension Front. There is no need to lower yourself to deal with two juniors in the origin tempering realm." Ma Dong said.
However, there was an underlying implication in the tone of his words.
Although he sounded like he was lifting Duan Buzhi, he was actually expressing his doubt.
"Brother Ma, do you think I can’t deal with the two brats?" Duan Buzhi asked with narrowed eyes.
"How can that be? If Brother Duan’s cultivation was not suppressed, he could kill the two with a finger." Ma Dong praised, but Duan Buzhi clenched his hands into fists.
’Is this bastard saying that I can’t defeat the two brats when my cultivation is suppressed?’ Duan Buzhi thought angrily.
Across from Duan Buzhi, Liu Bai sighed.
She knew that Ma Dong was instigating Duan Buzhi, but she didn’t intend to stop it.
After all, she didn’t like Duan Buzhi.
If possible, she hoped he would be killed by the enemy to eliminate harm to fellow women.
"It’s decided. I will deal with Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue." Duan Buzhi said and rushed out of the meeting place.
"Elder sister Liu, should we stop Brother Duan?" Ma Dong asked with a concerned expression on his face.
If a stranger saw him, they would think he was genuinely worried about Duan Buzhi. Unfortunately, there were no strangers or saintly people in the meeting place.
Everyone understood what had happened and developed a tacit understanding to ignore it.
"Other than the young emperor, Jiang Yue, and Yu Nianzhen, there are a few more dangerous people in my generation." Shen Ru continued.
In the following while, she talked about the geniuses of her generation.
At the end of the meeting, several tasks were issued.
The purpose of these tasks was to eliminate the key figures of the opposing side.
As long as the key figures were eliminated, the Death Flower Ascension Front believed they would win the war.
’I don’t know if the will of heaven will interfere with the war...’ Liu Bai wondered as she walked out of the meeting place.
Like most others, she had also noticed that the Cangxing world was desperate to eliminate the Death Flower Ascension Front.
This matter concerned her, and she couldn’t help but worry that the will of the world would help the other side.
’Are we really so intolerable?’ She thought and clenched her hands.
In her heart, she felt that the heavens had abandoned her.
When she was young, she was talented and hard-working.
Unfortunately, her talent was ordinary.
No matter how hard she worked, she couldn’t break through some barriers, and her path soon came to an end.
At that time, she felt that the heavens were unjust, and she detested the extraordinary geniuses who could easily achieve what she couldn’t.
Fortunately, she found a new path.
She joined the Death Flower Ascension Front, and not only did she find a way to improve, but she also found a way to vent her long-held resentment.
’Since the heavens are unfair, why should I bow to heaven’s will? If the heavens can’t tolerate my new way, I also can’t tolerate the heavens.’
With that, Liu Bai sneered and then looked at the orthodox cultivators who had finally agreed on the council members.
