Chapter 483: Yu Yan’s Confide (1)

The silence was oppressive in the inner hall of the refining workshop. There was anger and a trace of fear in the eyes of the Flame Clan’s branch elder.
A Body Integration elder had died. This was the first time in thousands of years for their Sword Seal City’s branch. As a powerful race ranked in the top ten of the Myriad Spirit Ranking, although there was no lack of fighting and killing, they were all controlled within a certain range. At most, they would lose a Void Refinement Realm expert.
However, not only had they lost a Body Integration elder this time, they had not even discovered the enemy who had attacked. This made many elders feel aggrieved, but apart from that, there was also regret. After all, to be able to kill a flying ship caravan in such a short period of time and not let the Body Integration elder guarding it discover it in advance, such a method was already not something they could deal with.
“What do we do now?” An elder was the first to break the silence.
Cong Yan glanced at the other elders and said slowly, “We have to investigate this matter in detail. The other party is only at the early-stage Body Integration realm—”
He was interrupted by a late-stage Body Integration elder. “Cong Yan, don’t say such things anymore. We both know that to be able to instantly kill an elder of our Flame Clan, his strength is definitely not just at the Body Integration realm. Even among the Mahayana Realm, he is considered an expert. Your talent is indeed top-notch in terms of investigation, but the other party might not have not hidden his cultivation and strength.”
Cong Yan immediately fell silent. He knew that his previous judgment had caused the clan to suffer losses. He was indeed the one who had to bear the responsibility.
“Let’s temporarily cancel the harassment plan against the True Treasure Pavilion!” An elder spoke.
There was an uproar in the inner hall.
“No! My Flame Clan has already publicized that we want to attack the True Treasure Pavilion. If we retreat now, won’t we make the Devil Clan, the Spirit Clan, the Winged Clan, and the Demon Clan mock us?!”
“Yes, especially the Devil Clan. Hmph, they’re waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves!”
For a moment, the crowd was agitated. Back then, although they had the intention of probing, it was mainly for their reputation. In the diplomatic relations of the race, reputation was undoubtedly very important.
“There’s an 80% chance that it’s that person from the True Treasure Pavilion behind this matter. We’ve all underestimated his strength. Even if the Mahayana Realm senior sent by the Penglai Immortal City is holding down the fort, I’m afraid it’s useless. Most importantly, once the other party used the strange and unfathomable methods, our Flame Clan’s caravan will suffer heavy losses. Everyone here might even die!”
As soon as he said this, the sound in the inner hall immediately became much softer. To be able to cultivate to the Void Refinement and Body Integration realm, they had all gone through nearly ten thousand years and tens of thousands of years of bitter cultivation. Although they were not afraid of death, they were unwilling to die for no reason. Therefore, when their safety was involved, their dignity was not that important.
“I think we should wait for the Mahayana Realm senior to come before making a decision!”
Mahayana Realm experts were not ordinary clansmen. Even the higher-ups of the branch of the Penglai Immortal City could not casually send them out. Moreover, after deciding on the number of people, they had to wait for a long time.
The news of the attack on the Flame Clan’s branch caravan in Sword Seal City did not stay hidden for long. After the news spread, many upper echelons of the Spirit Clan and Devil Clan mocked and joked in secret. Back then, they did not agree to attack the True Treasure Pavilion so quickly. Even if they attacked, they had to truly understand the other party’s foundation. However, the Flame Clan was a hothead and wanted to be in the limelight. Now, they had lost a Body Integration expert!
In the inner hall of the White Jade Spirit Fox Clan.
“That person from the True Treasure Pavilion is truly powerful. He actually caused the Flame Clan to suffer such a huge loss. Fortunately, our clan did not act rashly.”
“To our White Jade Spirit Fox Clan, if we lose a Body Integration cultivator, the foundation and strength of our clan will decrease greatly. I think we should wait for a Mahayana Realm senior to come before dealing with the sects and families of the human race in Sword Seal City and Gray Stone City.”
“I second that!”
It was the same for the Scorpion Clan.
The Spirit Clan and the Winged Clan had forced the human sects to seal their mountains for the sake of business interests. They had already achieved half of their goal. As long as they were stuck in the resources, they would naturally be able to make the human race unable to rise.
Although the True Treasure Pavilion was unexpected, they did not care too much. In any case, they could deal with this matter after the Mahayana Realm experts of the Penglai Immortal City arrived.
Gray Stone City.
In the pavilion by the lake in the City Lord Manor.
Fairy Luo Xia had a complicated expression on her tender face. She was in charge of the information in the pavilion. She naturally knew what had happened to the Flame Clan recently. However, it was precisely because she knew that she felt it to be inconceivable.
Back then, when Shen Ping wanted to attack first, she persuaded him in all ways. However, the other party only said that he wanted to give it a try. In the end, he killed two of the Flame Race’s flying ship caravans and a Body Integration cultivator. Most importantly, he was not stopped by the Flame Race after attacking.
“Pavilion Master Shen, did your master make a move?” She looked at Shen Ping and asked.
Before and after the incident with the Flame Race’s caravan, Shen Ping had been in Gray Stone City. Therefore, there was a 90% chance that it was his master who had done it. However, when he killed the Black Tiger King, the other party did not attack. Why did he attack when he was dealing with the Flame Race?
She felt that this matter was a little strange.
Shen Ping drank his wine and said with a smile, “I don’t have that ability. Although I have the strength to kill a Body Integration expert, I still need your help.”
Although Fairy Luo Xia was suspicious, she also felt that it was unlikely that it was Shen Ping. After all, the latter’s cultivation realm was indeed only at the Void Refinement Realm. He could kill the Black Tiger King mainly because of external objects.
“What’s the reaction of the Flame Clan?”
“The harassment plan against our True Treasure Pavilion has been canceled. In addition, the pressure on the merchants in the city in terms of refining materials has gradually decreased.”
Shen Ping smiled. “At least the Flame Clan can see the situation clearly. In this world, the strong prey on the weak..”
