I Can Strengthen Everything

Chapter 212: Chapter 118: Divine True Origin

He died in a small county town.

And the one who killed this Elder was someone that even the Divine Martial Sect was unwilling to offend.

"Sect Leader, Fang Xing killed an Elder of our Divine Martial Sect. This is a grave matter. We must make the Observatory give us an explanation."

Inside the great hall, one person broke the silence, his face filled with rage.

"This man is too arrogant! His actions show he has no respect for our Divine Martial Sect. We must force the Observatory to hand him over for us to deal with."

"That’s right!"

"Make the Observatory account for this! The matter can’t just be dropped."

One after another, several Elders in the great hall spoke up.

At that moment, at the head of the great hall, the Divine Martial Sect’s Sect Leader Venerable listened to the Elders, his expression completely unfazed.

Just then, a white-haired old man spoke. "Sect Leader, everyone, may I say a word?"

Hearing this, the other Elders turned to look at the white-haired old man, and the Sect Leader’s gaze also fell upon him.

"What is it you wish to say, Great Elder?"

the Sect Leader Venerable asked, looking at the white-haired old man.

The Great Elder’s expression was grave. He glanced at the others before turning his gaze to the Sect Leader Venerable. "Sect Leader, our Divine Martial Sect has lost an Elder in this matter. Normally, we would need to ensure Fang Xing’s utter destruction to quell the hatred in our hearts, but..."

At this point, the Great Elder paused. The others frowned, but no one interrupted. The Great Elder looked at the crowd and continued, "This Fang Xing is no ordinary person. As you all should know, he is a newly risen prodigy on the Hidden Dragon List. His potential is immense, possessing the qualifications for Transforming into a Dragon and Becoming a Saint."

"Furthermore, he is highly regarded by the upper echelons of the Observatory. I have heard that he has already caught the eye of Cang Province’s Marshal, Hong Miaojin, and will soon be transferred to Cang Province to be personally cultivated by her."

"If we were to make the Observatory hand Fang Xing over, I’m afraid Hong Miaojin would be the first to refuse."

"You all should know what kind of person Hong Miaojin is. Though her beauty could topple nations, she is by no means a mere pretty face. Her methods and her strength are not something our Divine Martial Sect can contend with."

"If we were to capture Fang Xing, I fear that this personage would personally visit the Divine Martial Sect in short order."

"To put it bluntly, with Hong Miaojin’s power, I’m afraid that even if our entire Divine Martial Sect joined forces, we would still be no match for her. And don’t forget whose daughter she is—she is the daughter of the Director who oversees the Great Jing Observatory."

"If we were to go up against her, I’m afraid there would be no place left for our Divine Martial Sect in all of Great Jing."

The Great Elder’s voice rang out in the great hall, each and every word echoing in the ears of the assembled Elders.

These words instantly silenced the Elders in the hall, thoroughly sobering them up.

It was true. Not only was this man a new prodigy on the Hidden Dragon List, but he was also highly valued by the Observatory.

Even his transfer was being personally escorted by Hong Miaojin. That alone was enough to prove his status within the Observatory was extraordinary.

Perhaps even the Observatory’s Commander had taken a liking to him. If they captured this man, the consequences would be far more severe than just the loss of a single Elder.

At this thought, the Elders couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.

Although Elder Wang’s death was a huge loss for the Divine Martial Sect, and they were deeply grieved, it wasn’t something worth sacrificing the entire sect for.

If they provoked a ruthless powerhouse like Hong Miaojin, setting aside all else, she alone could easily sweep through the entire Divine Martial Sect.

Even the Sect Leader Venerable, who was in the same realm, would be no match for her.

This ruthless powerhouse was ranked number one on the Hidden Dragon List.

Barring any accidents, her future Ascension and Saint Transformation to become a Celestial Martial Saint was practically guaranteed.

Being first on the Hidden Dragon List wasn’t just a symbol of potential, talent, and aptitude.

More importantly, it was a symbol of strength.

It was no exaggeration to say that any prodigy who made it onto the Hidden Dragon List possessed the strength to sweep aside all others in the same realm.

To say nothing of Hong Miaojin, who was not only number one but whose cultivation had already reached the stage of True Essence Realm Great Perfection.

Even ten cultivators at True Essence Realm Great Perfection combined would likely not be enough to face her.

"Great Elder, then... are we just going to let it go?" After a moment of silence, one of the Elders asked, looking at the Great Elder.

The Great Elder smiled slightly. "Not at all."

Hmm?

Hearing this response, the others were taken aback.

The Great Elder stroked his beard and said with a grin, "While our Divine Martial Sect cannot afford to provoke this menace, don’t forget, everyone—within Great Jing, there are also the Martial Dao Upper Sects!"

???

The crowd stared at the Great Elder in astonishment. One of them asked, "Great Elder, are you suggesting we borrow a knife to kill someone? But are those Martial Dao Upper Sects fools? Would they agree? Not unless they’ve been kicked in the head by a donkey."

The Great Elder remained calm and composed. "You could call it borrowing a knife," he said. "However, we won’t have to be the ones to wield it. In fact, many from the various Martial Dao Upper Sects will be eager to be that knife."

Hearing the Great Elder’s words, several of the Elders were completely baffled. The Sect Leader Venerable frowned for a moment, but his brow soon smoothed over as if he understood.

The Great Elder continued, "Have you all forgotten that this Fang Xing is a newly risen prodigy on the Hidden Dragon List?"

"Many from the Martial Dao Upper Sects are unconvinced of Fang Xing’s promotion to the Hidden Dragon List and are looking for him right now. As long as we release the news of his whereabouts, trouble will naturally find its way to him. When that time comes, we can consider Elder Wang’s death avenged."

"This way, not only can our Divine Martial Sect stay out of it, but we also get to watch a spectacular show of dragons and tigers fighting. What do you all think?"

Upon hearing the Great Elder’s explanation, everyone’s eyes lit up.
