Chapter 488: Make Your Decision
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation | Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the peak of Jiang Dao Mountain.
There was a piece of flat ground that was about a hundred meters in size. At the center of this piece of flat ground was a strangely-shaped pavilion, within which was a huge round table.
There were ancient characters engraved onto the table, and there were 20 stone chairs arranged around the table.
This was the place where the 20 guardians held their roundtable meetings. One after another, people walked towards the pavilion. These people emitted extremely powerful auras.
One of them was Bao Peimin.
Bao Peimin sat down. Seeing that the people around him were not yet present, he glanced in the direction of the entrance.
He looked worried and had a feeling that something bad was about to happen. Ye Chen would not be able to break into the formation, right?
If this kid showed up here today, it was unlikely that he would be able to return
in one piece,
The only thing he could do for the time being was to give this kid a chance at survival.
Elder Wan, who was beside Bao Peimin, sensed something and sneered.
“Old Bao, do you really think that kid will come up here? I truly don’t know what has gotten into you? I admit that the kid has extraordinary talent, but this is Jiang Dao Mountain, and the formation has been fully activated.”
“If that kid knew what was going on up here, he definitely wouldn’t even try.
Bao Peimin nodded, and an old man with a white beard and a blue robe sat down.
Two of the 20 stone chairs were marked with a special color.
They belonged to the leaders of the two camps.
One of them was Fang Zhenye, and the other was the strongest person in Bao Peimin’s camp, Sun Miao, who was definitely qualified to be one of the top experts in Huaxia.
“Elder Sun.”
Bao Peimin, Elder Wan, and the others cupped their hands and greeted him respectfully.
Sun Miao nodded and opened the documents on the table.
The document contained Ye Chen’s photo and all of the relevant information on him.
Sweeping his gaze over, the old man’s eyes narrowed slightly. “The kid Fang Zhenye was talking about is this person? Interesting. It had been so many years since Huaxia produced a stunning genius. It would be a pity if we really killed him.”
Bao Peimin’s eyes lit up when he heard that. He had been in contact with many guardians recently because he wanted to rope them over to his side. As long as these people objected to Fang Zhenye’s suggestion, the outcome of the roundtable meeting would not pose a threat to Ye Chen.
However, at present, many guardians adopted a wait-and-see approach. Only a small number of people who had a good relationship with him were willing to object.
Therefore, if Sun Miao opposed Fang Zhenye, it would be a great blessing for
Ye Chen!
“Elder Sun, I’ve come into contact with this child before. Not only does he have talent, but his character is also not bad. Fang Zhenye is completely making up false accusations,” Bao Peimin said seriously.
“Oh?” Sun Miao glanced at Bao Peimin.
“False accusations? Do you think this kid has great talent? Or can this child become a pillar of Huaxia?”
Bao Peimin hesitated for a few seconds and said righteously, “Elder Sun, we’re all old. In the future, the martial arts world in Huaxia will still be dominated by the younger generation. I can’t guarantee that this young man will become a pillar of Huaxia! If he can’t achieve this, then no one else from the younger generation is qualified to do so!”
No matter what, he had to convince this old man before the meeting began.
This old man’s opinion was extremely crucial!
At this moment, a cold snort rang out from behind Bao Peimin.
“Bao Peimin, as the guardian of Huaxia, are you going to let emotions cloud your judgment?”
Hearing this voice, everyone subconsciously looked behind them.
They saw Fang Zhenye leading seven guardians toward the roundtable.
Fang Zhenye’s face was filled with anger.
The eight of them took their seats, and Fang Zhenye sat beside Sun Miao. Now, eighteen seats were filled, but there were two eye-catchingly empty seats.
Fang Zhenye looked at Sun Miao beside him and said, “Old Sun, most of us know what kind of person this kid is. Ever since he entered Huaxia’s martial arts world, how many people has he killed and how many families has he destroyed? This kid had a strong killing intent and was extremely arrogant. If we don’t kill this kid, the consequences would be unimaginable!”
As he spoke, he looked at Sun Miao, trying to figure out where the latter stood. However, no emotion was evident on Sun Miao s face.
Therefore, he could only continue, “This kid doesn’t even care about the guardians. If we don’t kill such a person, the whole world will laugh at us!” “If this child continues to grow, the consequences will be unimaginable! It might even become dangerous for us. What I’m saying is not groundless!” “Bao Peimin, don’t think that I don’t know that you have some relationship with Ye Chen. A few days ago, you even met privately at a teahouse in Xiangjiang. Who knows if you’ve received any benefits from him? I heard that this kid has many treasures in his possession.”
Fang Zhenye’s words immediately made the expressions of the other guardians change.
Bao Peimin snorted coldly and slammed his palm on the stone table!
“Fang Zhenye, what do you mean by that? I’m just taking an angle that you don’t agree with. I’m not like you, who can twist and manipulate facts for your own selfish desires. You even dared to activate the roundtable meeting so casually. What are your intentions?”
Fang Zhenye was about to say something when Sun Miao reached out and gestured for them to be quiet, sat down at a quiet sign.
Then, Sun Miao looked at Fang Zhenye and muttered, “I know that a guardian was killed, but it’s almost time to start. Why are there only 18? Where’s Yuan Bilan? If he doesn’t come soon, we’ll have to start without him.
When Fang Zhenye heard this, he paused for a moment and then said coldly, “Yesterday, Yuan Bilan went to Xiangjiang City and was killed by someone! According to my investigation, Yuan Bilan was most likely killed by Ye Chen using some kind of despicable method!
“In just a month, two of Huaxia’s guardians were killed. If we don’t get nd of this kid, all eighteen of us will be in danger. If he is allowed to grow and develop, who in Huaxia will be able to stop this kid?”
As soon as he said that, the surroundings fell silent.
No one thought that Yuan Bilan would die. It had only been a short time, yet Ye Chen had killed two guardians.
No one believed it at first, but Fang Zhenye would never joke about the life of a guardian!
Bao Peimin’s expression also changed. He understood Ye Chen and knew Ye Chen’s strength. He killed Yuan Bilan? How was this possible?
He stood up immediately.
“Fang Zhenye, you used the words ‘most likely’, which means that you’re not sure. Isn’t it too much to try and pin the blame on one person?
Fang Zhenye took out a document and threw it at Bao Peimin.
“These are some photos of the Li family’s residence in Xiangjiang. From the photos, only four people were present when Yuan Bilan was killed. We know the strength of the Li father and son. It’s impossible for them to kill Yuan Bilan, let alone that weak girl.. Therefore, the only possibility is Ye Chen!”
