Chapter 198: It's all settled
King Yanxuan didn't even have time to scream before his physical body and primordial spirit were obliterated.
The most powerful prince of the Sun Flame Dynasty died just like that.
But Fu Yan and Fu Lou didn't even blink, as if they had just swatted an insignificant ant. But to be fair, in the eyes of the Tianfu Sect, that was exactly how Yan Xuan Wang, or the Riyan Dynasty, was perceived.
An insignificant existence.
Fu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Jian Xuan again and said respectfully, "Master, you can rest assured now."
Jian Xuan nodded slightly.
He was quite satisfied with this solution. Keeping Yan Xuan King around would surely cause more trouble; such an ignorant and foolish person was better off dead sooner rather than later, to prevent him from acting rashly and harming others.
He could tell that King Yanxuan must have something to ask of the Heavenly Talisman Sect, and the Heavenly Talisman Sect had offered a considerable price. King Yanxuan then started calculating and finally decided to go to Gu Heng.
So, to be serious.
The Heavenly Talisman Sect bears no responsibility.
"I don't intend to blame you for this, but..."
Jian Xuan's tone suddenly changed, and he stared coldly at Fu Yan and Fu Lou: "Young Master Gu doesn't want to be disturbed. Such a trivial matter shouldn't affect his peaceful life of seclusion. Do you understand?"
Fu Yan nodded repeatedly, his mouth full of promises and solemn oaths.
"You can rest assured that the news of Yan Xuanwang's death will be handled flawlessly by our Tianfu Sect. He was extremely greedy and ambitious, and attempted to steal the secret treasures of our Tianfu Sect, which led to my killing him."
"Absolutely not a single word will be uttered that involves Young Master Gu!"
He had searched the soul of King Yanxuan and knew just how terrifying the "Young Master Gu," who lived in seclusion in Yunling City and ran a medical clinic, was.
Such a powerful being must have seen many grand occasions and experienced the vicissitudes of life. Choosing to live in seclusion is naturally to seek peace and tranquility. Who would be so foolish as to disturb him?
In any case, Fu Yan definitely wouldn't have the guts.
However, what terrified him even more was this Primordial Soul Lamp, which was that young master Gu's treasure.
Does he have any plans to use this thing?
This malevolent creature, which once caused great calamities in the Five Realms during the primordial era, will surely cause another great calamity if we are not careful.
Despite his concerns, Fu Yan dared not inquire further.
"Okay, that'll do. After all, you don't want me to reappear in front of you because the cleanup wasn't done well, right?"
Jian Xuan smiled slightly.
Fu Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly lowered his head, saying, "I will definitely do it well!"
"Okay, I'm leaving first."
After saying this, the void around Jian Xuan distorted and fluctuated. Then, he raised his hand, picked up the lamp, and instantly disappeared into the fluctuations.
"Congratulations, senior!"
Fu Yan bowed respectfully.
After a long while, once Fu Yan was certain that Jian Xuanzhen had left, she slowly raised her head, her expression extremely solemn.
He breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"The Grand Elder of the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect, seeing him once truly filled me with... dread."
This time, Fu Yan was truly terrified. Fu Yan had never expected that such a powerful figure existed in the small Sun Flame Dynasty, and even less did he expect that the ambitious King Yan Xuan would dare to set his sights on him, almost implicating Fu Yan himself.
Although Fu Yan had no recollection of Gu Heng from Yan Xuan Wang's memories, and Yan Xuan Wang himself had never met him, he had only gathered a considerable amount of information about him.
Therefore, Fu Yan was unsure just how strong Gu Heng was.
However, the Primordial Soul Lamp, a once-immortal treasure, is in his hands. The small world within the lamp still houses the primordial spirit of the former Grand Elder of the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect. Just from Jian Xuan's tone, one can tell that he holds Gu Heng in extremely high esteem, as if he were his second parents!
That was a dignified tenth-level Mahayana cultivator, a swordsman who was only one step away from becoming a Saint back then!
To be so revered by such a person.
How strong and powerful must he be?
Perhaps, like the Sect Master of the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect, or even stronger? He has already reached the fifth level of the Supreme Saint realm, pursuing a realm that no one has been able to reach since the Taixu era.
Fu Yan dared not think about it anymore.
Because he has reached the fifth level of the Mahayana stage, which is already the limit, he is not qualified to go any higher.
The vision that surfaced in his mind was so unattainable, and even seeing it was extremely difficult.
It's best not to set any expectations for yourself.
"Fu Lou, go to the Sun Flame Dynasty immediately and tell the Sun Flame Emperor what crime Yan Xuan King has committed."
"Remember, don't mention a single thing that happened in this building..."
Fu Yan sat back down in his chair, his still slightly trembling old hands slowly picking up the teacup. He gave instructions while giving Fu Lou a sharp but indistinct look.
“I understand!” Fu Lou knew what that look meant.
The Grand Elder was almost ruined by Yan Xuanwang's ignorance; as his confidant, he couldn't afford to make any more mistakes.
This matter cannot be messed up.
……
At the Nianling Sect's mountain gate, Xiao Ling sat cross-legged in his secluded cultivation spot on the deserted back mountain.
It's already night.
He spent a short time in anxiety, but every minute and second was so hard to endure.
Although Yan Xuanwang seemed to have lost interest in the continuation of the Nianling Sect when he left, he couldn't calm down at all.
If King Yanxuan doesn't die, the Nianling Sect will likely forever be shrouded in a shadow.
"I really don't know what's so special about you."
A voice suddenly rang out in the silent secluded cultivation place, startling Xiao Ling so much that he looked up and saw a middle-aged man, clearly in the form of a primordial spirit, standing in front of him, along with a lamp.
That ancient bronze lamp.
"you are……"
"You don't need to know who I am, but I've been inside this lamp all along, and I've seen many things clearly."
Jian Xuan made no attempt to hide his disdain.
Because this guy named Xiao Ling was far too mediocre, Jian Xuan's only question was why Gu Heng had helped him so many times. This kind of guy certainly couldn't offer any suitable reward.
However, Gu Heng's actions never seem to be judged by common sense.
"I've come to tell you that King Yanxuan is dead, so you no longer need to live in fear."
Jian Xuan spoke calmly. Xiao Ling was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then belatedly revealed an expression of wild joy!
As expected, Young Master Gu is incredibly resourceful; he has considered everything.
Even the theft of the lights was entirely expected.
"Thank you so much, senior, for saving my Nianling Sect!"
Xiao Ling knelt down and kowtowed several times.
"It's alright. From now on, you don't need to have any further dealings with Young Master Gu. Let's end it here."
Jian Xuan casually accepted his thanks, then disappeared again with the lamp, leaving Xiao Ling alone in the quiet night, speechless for a long time.
The next morning.
At the entrance of Gu's Medical Clinic.
Gu Heng opened the door, looked at the empty street, then looked down and saw the broken lamp placed by the door. "All done?"
he asks.
"nailed it."
The white light in the lamp flickered.
