Unaware of the confusing outcome and decision by Sect Leader Su, Ye Tian Yun, and Jun Xie was now heading back to the Fang Clan.
Ye Tian Yun had taken another step in his quest of getting closer to the Princess.
'This should go on for another week…'
He thought as they slowly headed for the Fang Clan.
Jun Xie on the other hand had not spoken a word. After knowing the truth behind Ye Tian Yun's real identity and many more things, he needed time to assess himself.
Ye Tian Yun understood this fact and thus didn't say anything on the way.
They soon reached the Fang Clan, and each of them headed for their own courtyard.
Ye Tian Yun stepped inside his room, washed his face, changed his robes, and after a few minutes, he began to cultivate.
Closing his eyes, he appeared in front of Wang Yao.
Wang Yao, who was hanging upside down on a tree, was startled to fall by Ye Tian Yun's sudden appearance.
"Damn you, Ye Toian Yun!" He groaned, "Can't you tell me before you jump in here?"
Ye Tian Yun rolled back his eyes, "This is my place; you're the one who has barged in."
Wang Yao frowned, "As if I had any choice. Anyway, why have you come here?"
Ye Tian Yun asked, "I want to ask about the Wang Yao who will soon appear in the Capital City. How and when did he come to the city previous time?"
"Hm?" Wang Yao frowned, "Are you planning to kill him? I would advise against it."
Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "Wang Yao won't die that easily. He has the System. I will have to make a fool-proof plan to kill him."
"Hm, that's a valid thought," Wang Yao nodded, "I remember how he was able to escape from almost impossible situations. Sometimes a powerful cultivator would intervene, sometimes a natural occurrence will happen, or sometimes the enemy would do something stupid."
Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Yeah. That guy is literally a cockroach. It's as if there's a huge armor around his life, increasing his power while also protecting him from dangers. That's why I need to plan very carefully."
Wang Yao thought for a moment and replied, "He will come here for the Fu Clan's Annual Auction Gala to buy a good weapon."
"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun smiled, "That's great. Let's kill this son of a bitch and end the whole farce once and for all."
Wang Yao nodded, "Yeah. His death would annoy a lot of people. Specifically those sitting in the Upper Heavens. They might personally come and hunt you down. But it's alright, let's kill this son of bitch first."
"..."
"What?" Wang Yao frowned, "Why are you suddenly staring at me like this?"
"Why would the people of Upper Heavens be annoyed by Wang Yao's death?"
"Who knows," Wang Yao shrugged with an innocent expression.
"..."
"..."
"Tell me."
"..."
Ye Tian Yun rubbed his face, "Let's not joke around."
"Alright," Wang Yao smiled, "Well, the thing is pretty simple - Wang Yao is just as important as you are to the people of Upper Heavens. If you want to kill him, you will need to destroy the Emblem System."
"Huh?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "How will I destroy that?"
Wang Yao replied, "Emblem Of Chaos. That's the only way."
"Emblem of Chaos?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "That's with Shi Yan. Wang Yao from the future had it, and when I killed him, it chose Shi Yan while the Emblem of Time came to me. It looks like I will have to kill Shi Yan."
"Oh, no!" Wang Yao shook his head, "Why would you kill him?"
"Why not?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "He's my enemy."
"But you can't kill him if you want the Emblem of Chaos." Wang Yao said, "The Emblem has already chosen its Holder for this generation. Even Wang Yao waited for about twenty years to snatch the Emblem of Chaos from Shi Yan."
"Twenty years?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "That's a long time… We don't have that much."
"That's why, take my other suggestions, you should -"
"No."
"...let me finish first."
"I know you want to say that I should befriend him." Ye Tian Yun said, "Well, that is not happening."
Wang Yao shrugged, "You don't have a choice then. To destroy the System, you need Shi Yan. And in the whole God's Legion, this person was the most trustworthy. If Wang Yao wasn't a jealous idiot, Shi Yan would have helped him fight off even stronger enemies."
Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Shi Yan's talent would make anyone jealous. If I am not wrong, his clan should begin to decline in a few months, and over the next few years, he will reach the worst part of his life - with no more friends, family, or anyone."
Wang Yao nodded, "Yes. That is what made him a cold-blooded killing machine. Even though it made him powerful, the real truth was, it actually depreciated his potential. If he hadn't lost the will to live, Shi Yan would have long surpassed Wang Yao in terms of cultivation and battle prowess."
"Wait… do you want me to save Shi Yan's clan?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "And befriend him?"
"Exactly." Wang Yao nodded, "This is your best option. Shi Yan is a simple guy and doesn't desire anything. He only wishes to protect the people he cherishes. And trust me, if he lives up to his potential, you will have a very powerful ally with you. And you will need allies for your enemies in the Upper Heavens."
Ye Tian Yun remained silent.
He had already talked to Prime Minister Fang about arranging a way for him to get into the Fang Clan and save a clan.
That was just a half-truth. He was planning to get the Emblem Of Chaos from Shi Yan. But if what Wang Yao said is true, he will have to change his plans and give Shi Yan a chance to redeem his future mistakes.
After a long silence, he asked Wang Yao, "Shi Yan's enemy is the most powerful organization in the Lower Heavens, the Crimson Pavilion. How did he defeat them in my previous life? I remember that there was no information regarding this incident, no matter how much my informants looked into it."
…
- When Wang Yao came from the future, he once mentioned that Shi Yan had betrayed him. However, today we have come to know that the truth was the way around.
- Wang Yao in Ye Tian Yun's consciousness refers to the young Wang Yao by his name rather than 'me' or 'I' because the young Wang Yao is the transmigrator, while he is the actual Wang Yao.
- Crimson Pavilion (first mentioned in Ch10) is the most prominent and the only organization which is outside of the control of the two kingdoms.
- Sect Leader Su has received intel from Butler Liu about the sudden change in the enemy movements(chapter ), and that is the reason why he came to meet Fang Bai - because this meeting might be his last. In the old timeline, there was no intel or enemy movement; that is why Sect Leader Su didn't come to meet Fang Bai.. And which enemy movement am I talking about? Refer Ch454, Ch466, Ch519.
