Now that Ye Lin had achieved a Breakthrough into the Nascent Soul Realm, if he were to challenge the Ten Sequences, Wang Teng admitted he wouldn't be able to stop him.
Not just him, but no one else would be able to stop him either.
If Ye Lin became interested in that position, their arduous competition would seem like a joke.
After all, they had competed and schemed against each other for that position, and if it ultimately went to a rising star, they wouldn't rest in peace even in death.
For this reason, he had specially summoned two of his good friends, also from the Ten Sequences, to discuss the matter.
"I admit Ye Lin is very strong, but aren't there still those three?" another young man asked, listening to Wang Teng's words.
"Those three? Those three aren't interested in that position, and they are the Human Race's last trump cards; it's impossible for them to compete for that position."
"There's no conflict of interest between us, so what do those three have to do with us?"
"If we continue to let Ye Lin grow like this, that position will likely be his in the end, and there are still three years until the previous Sect Master abdicates."
After Wang Teng finished speaking, the other two fell into deep thought.
"Then what do you propose we do?" one person asked after a long period of contemplation.
"If you ask me, we should do it before Ye Lin challenges the Ten Sequences..."
Mid-sentence, Wang Teng drew his right hand across his neck.
Seeing this gesture, the other two's expressions changed in surprise.
"It's been confirmed that Ye Lin has a Soul Transformation True Monarch behind him. Aren't you afraid of incurring the True Monarch's wrath by doing this?" one of them asked.
This method was good, but it was also the most foolish; with a True Monarch backing Ye Lin, it would be too easy for a True Monarch to investigate a matter.
Once investigated, the wrath of a True Monarch would likely be more than the three of them could bear.
A Prodigy was just a Prodigy; in front of a true powerful being, you were still an ant.
"Hmph, we all have True Monarchs supporting us. And what are those True Monarchs supporting us for? Isn't it so that after one of us becomes the Sect Master, they can gain the opportunity to enter the ancestral land?"
"We have a transactional relationship with the True Monarchs. So what if Ye Lin has a True Monarch backing him? Once he's killed, we'll all ask our True Monarchs for help."
"At that time, if his True Monarch faces three True Monarchs, what if he's furious? Would he dare to openly attack?"
"Even if this matter is reported to the ancestral land, at most, the ancestral land would just give him some compensation. After all, a dead person's value is far less than a living person's."
"I believe our True Monarchs will agree to this."
"Furthermore, Ye Lin's current growth rate is causing dissatisfaction among many True Monarchs on Nameless Mountain."
"Our action would be exactly what they want. After all, Ye Lin is too strong; he's already subtly encroaching on some people's interests," Wang Teng said with a sinister, cold smile.
Listening to Wang Teng's words, the two looked at each other.
Wang Teng's plan seemed feasible.
Once Ye Lin died, the worst they would face was just a punishment.
The current situation was that everyone was a small fish, happily playing together in a small pond. The difference in size was minimal, perhaps half a centimeter or a centimeter at most.
Suddenly, a dreadful piece of news spread through this once peaceful small pond.
A strange piranha was rushing towards this small pond.
If the piranha were allowed to enter, it would no longer be fun.
So, what these small fish could do was to find a way to make this piranha die halfway.
That way, they could happily play together again.
