Fang Yuan took a stroll to a wine shack.

This wine shack, albeit noisy, was enveloped in silence as it was surrounded by a peach forest. The flowers were blossoming, dying the patch of land in pink.

Occasionally, a breeze would pass by and the flower petals would drift into the stream, attracting small fishes to chase after them competitively.

Beside the shack, there was a fisherman who was wearing a conical bamboo hat on his head and a straw raincoat on his body. He was holding onto a fishing rod that was made out of yellow bamboo. A translucent thin, thread hung down from it and into the water body. Suddenly, the line shook.

“I’ve caught a fish!”

The fisherman smiled and used his arm strength to pull the fish out. A huge carp with a bright red tail jumped out of the water, whipping up endless water droplets.

He stood up and went into the wine shack. Then, he took off his raincoat, causing the eyes of the surrounding people to light up.

This fisherman looked like he was at most thirty year-old. He was beautiful, his features were well-crafted, especially his pair of peach-shaped eyes, filled with raw emotions. At one look, it didn’t matter if it was a single or married lady, their heart rate would quicken uncontrollably.

“Xiao Er, cook my fish, another chicken, and bring over two pots of your peach wine,” the fisherman said slowly, his voice deep and attractive with an indescribable charm.

Immediately, the customers in the wine shack, not only females, but also males, looked at him with a certain look.

“Alright!” To this, Xiao Er was indifferent, and smiled. “Sir, you only drink one pot everyday, what happy event did you encounter today?”

“There’s a special guest that’s coming from afar, this, in itself, is a happy event!”

The youth with peach-shaped eyes smiled and looked towards the door of the shack. “Since you’re here, why not sit for a drink?”

“Of course!”

Fang Yuan’s white robe floated as he walked into the wine shack with long strides, and sat in front of the teenager.

“This peach wine is a local product, please try it first!” The youth smiled as he poured a cup of wine for Fang Yuan. The smell of the wine spread far and wide, with it’s unique peach aroma, it tasted pretty good.

Fang Yuan sipped a mouthful, and immediately smiled. “Not bad!”

“Although the wine tastes good now, it’s even better when it’s accompanied with a carp fish!”

The youth smiled and said, “This carp fish ate peach flowers, and its body has an unusual aroma. It’s good when it’s cooked into a side dish or cooked into a soup for sobering up.”

Just as he said that, he looked like he was recalling a treasured memory. “I was a regular customer ever since I was a teenager… It’s a pity that things have changed…”

“Sir, here’s your food!”

At that moment, Xiao Er grinned while she served several plates of food; the chicken was stir-fried with vegetables; fresh fish was cut into thin pieces as sashimi, accompanied by seasonings, its freshness was incomparable.

Fang Yuan flicked his finger and a type of membrane appeared in the surrounding. It wasn’t here nor there, and in the eyes of the other customers, there was nothing unusual about the table, it was still two people enjoying their drinks.

“To split the world into two! How magical!” The peach-eyed youth felt slightly moved. “I thought that I hid extremely well, but I never would’ve thought that you would still able to find me…”

“I’m Fang Yuan. Greetings, Ancestor!” Fang Yuan got straight to the point.

“So it’s the 9 Extremes Mountain’s Mountain Master that continuously defeated the demon generals! I’m Zhang Tianling, I go by the name of ’Ancestor.’ However, outsider gossip cannot be taken seriously…”

This peach-eyed youth was unexpectedly Fang Yuan’s target—Heavenly Spirit Association’s honorable elder, Heaven Spirit Ancestor.

Despite imparting divine’s techniques, his body’s technique was incredibly fine. It was a pity that he was seen through by Fang Yuan’s Fiery Golden Eyes.

Although there were five honorable ability within this city, Fang Yuan went directly to the strongest phenomenon, and was able to hit the bull’s-eye.

This time, however, Fang Yuan ought to admit that the other party’s abilities, demeanor, and aura was top-notch.

“What do you have for me, Mountain master?” Zhang Tianling held a teacup in his hand and revealed a teasing smile.

“Oh? Don’t you hate me? And you aren’t afraid of me?” Fang Yuan was slightly shocked. “After all… I’m also a Dream Master? I’m also infamous somehow!”

“Even Lord Demon Killing Divine Pen died at your hands, you truly are outstandingly vicious!” Zhang Tianling nodded his head. “However, there is good and evil amongst the Dream Masters, furthermore… I’m a True Divine at the moment, which side would I count as? If it’s judged solely based on achievements then, you, the Slaughtering Divine, are the one with the most achievements!

“Haha…” Fang Yuan bursted out laughing. “If the other Spiritual Knights and Wuzongs could be as optimistic as you are, then the world would be a better place…”

“It’s no use!” Zhang Tianling’s peach-shaped eyes dimmed. “In the end, the hatred between Wuzongs, Dream Masters, and Spiritual Knights still results in a fight for personal interests. In this aspect, no one, not even me, can make the Heavenly Spirit Association give way!”

Regardless of which organization it is, when it is created it must have its own will in order to fight for its own interests.

Just like in the past, no matter how much a monarch ruled with an iron fist, it still had to give in to the power of the state.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang killed the ministers and disabled the prime minister, he would still have a cabinet of ministers in the end.

Believe it or not, if Zhang Tianling was the association’s leader, the real person who was in control, it was also difficult to make the organization do what he wanted.

“You thought… that I’m here to force you to give way?” Fang Yuan smiled slightly and shook his head. “You’re wrong… I’m here to assist you!”

“Assist me?” Zhang Tianling was shocked, but promptly had something to say, “I’ve heard that Mountain Master was Master Heartless’s disciple? Is that why you went against the Dream Masters of the Five Major Sects?”

“That’s right!”

At this moment, the identity of Master Heartless could no longer affect Fang Yuan. He bluntly admitted it. “Also… let me tell you some news… The Ancient One of the Realm Alliance died at my hands!”

“What?” The Zhang Tianling, who was light-hearted before, changed his expression suddenly, a crack even appeared on the cup in his hands.

“Sorry… I lost control! I’ll punish myself with this cup!” He finished the wine in one shot, but looked at Fang Yuan, alarmed and frightened.

The Ancient One was a Sage once, and was also a True Elemental Spiritual Knight then. He had a lot of experience and was wise. If he were to fight for real, even Qian Huanyi might not have a chance of winning.

However, this honorable ex-sage had died at the hands of the youth in front of him? When he told him that, why did it sound like it was a small matter, as if he had killed a chicken or dog?

Zhang Tianling was unable to calm down within this short period of time and appeared to be at a loss.

Witnessing this scene, Fang Yuan smirked in his heart. “His so-called elegance, attitude and what-not, was, in actual fact, based on the account of power. He probably thought that he had a trump card and that I couldn’t do anything to him. That’s why he was fearless and acted elegantly in front of me… Now, however, he knows that I can kill him, just like how I killed the powerful Ancient One, which is why he became afraid!”

Even though he had known that Fang Yuan defeated several demon generals, they were only higher beings. They still paled in comparison to an ex-sage.

If it was just a coincidence that Fang Yuan was previously able to kill ’Demon Killing Divine Pen Li Qingmian’ in Jade City, then he had now proven himself after killing The Ancient One, that he had the ability to slaughter a Sage and was now the greatest in the world!

“If the Sage doesn’t die, then I won’t stop!” Thinking about it, Fang Yuan casually said, “Did you know that your Heavenly Spirit Association intends to take over the East Ocean? And that this is also the case for the Alliance of Dream Masters? Baize Mountain and the Evil Divine Sect will go all-out, and I’m afraid that there will be a big war coming up!”

“What do you have to say to me about it, Mountain Master?” It was obvious that Zhang Tianling had long expected that the day would come, and had prepared for it beforehand.

In addition to that, Fang Yuan also discovered that as time passed, the other higher beings in the city were silently moving towards the location he was hiding at.

Obviously, after feeling unsettled, Zhang Tiangling, who was seated opposite him, had used a secret technique to inform his comrades.

However, Fang Yuan didn’t put the 5 higher beings in his sight. He would be able to walk away from them.

It was clear that Zhang Tianling didn’t intend to fight as he only allowed the others to silently hide within their surroundings, to act as preventive measures. He recovered his light-hearted and fearless self before he began to fluently talk to Fang Yuan with ease.

“Of course I’ll help you, in secret, to exterminate the two Sages!” Fang Yuan exposed his motive. “Of course… this matter has no connection to the 9 Extremes Mountain, I’ll only do it secretly!”

“If that’s the case then it’s enough. Thank you for your kindness, Mountain Master!” A hired thug had come to find him for no reason. Of course there wouldn’t be any reason to reject him. Zhang Tianling thought about it and immediately revealed a smile.

“Fine!”

Fang Yuan was leading.

In truth, he didn’t have much hope that the Heavenly Spirit Association would be able to provide large forces, but he had ideas to incorporate the organization into his own.

After all, it was a little forceful for the 9 Extremes Mountain’s current level of insight and manpower to take over the mountain range.

It was impossible to unify the East Ocean Prefectures.

At that moment, just as the enchantment dissipated, Xiao Er came over to serve a large pot of fish soup. “This carp soup is specially made by our shop’s chef, can the two of you taste it?

“This soup is made from the fish’s tail and fin, it’s the best for dispersing the effects of the wine!”

Zhang Tiangling smiled. “I’ll have to taste a bit then!”

“Good! Good!” Fang Yuan smiled as well. The both of them bore ulterior motives but were very affectionate on the surface.

…

“Sir!”

After Fang Yuan left, Zhang Tianling walked out of the wine shack and travelled inside the peach forest at the back.

Four motionless individuals were already waiting there.

“The person who came in was the Mountain Master of the 9 Extremes Mountain. His cultivation is deep and cannot be measured… it also surpasses me!” Zhang Tianling was honest about it. “However, he came to help us, and this makes things difficult for me…”

“Ancestor is afraid that by rejecting him, he would come to oppose us?” One person said.

“That’s right… however, we’ve already long prepared for this.” Zhang Tianling’s gaze was filled with a hint of hatred, “at that time, the Martial Alliance and God Seeking Palace will have people coming to attend the ceremony. Regarding the problem of facing Dream Masters, we’re all naturally people from the same alliance… As long as we have them with us, then we won’t have to be afraid, even if the Dream Masters were thinking of going there with an evil plan.”

It was necessary for the so-called evil plan, to be formulated from their strength.

Any magical plans would be useless in front of an overwhelming power.

“Not bad, Dream Masters will have to ask for our opinions if they’re still thinking of climbing back up.

“Overthrowing the Dream Masters is a benefit shared by every Spiritual Knight and Wuzong—no, every Da Qian cultivator! it’s intolerable for them to struggle!”

The remaining higher beings echoed this opinion immediately.

No one, no matter who it was, was willing to return to the time where those Dream Masters were at the top, governing everything.

Although the different major forces have clashed among themselves, they had the same attitude towards this matter!
