Chapter 1270: Chapter 1270: The Thoughts of Two Stewards

"Strange, those two Spirit Beasts didn’t attack Senior Fang!"

"Senior Fang is powerful, perhaps those two Spirit Beasts are afraid of him!"

"The pressure exerted by those two Spirit Beasts just now is comparable to several of our manor’s Elders. Does that mean Senior Fang’s strength is on par with our Manor Master?"

"Very likely. Anyway, the impression Senior Fang gives me is unfathomable!"

"Chenyu, you are familiar with Senior Fang, do you know what realm his Cultivation Level is?"

"Ah? I... I have been separated from Fang Bai for a while now, and I’m not too sure either..."

...

Hidden behind a distant large rock, more than a dozen disciples of Golden Crow Manor watched in amazement as two fiercely formidable octopods swiftly passed by Fang Bai, pouncing towards the dense forest far away, then began whispering among themselves in low voices.

Sun Guangyi and Li Jingren already knew that the dense forest harbored numerous followers, but at this moment, all their attention was focused on Fang Bai, their expressions complex.

"This Senior Fang... I understand him less and less!"

Sun Guangyi suddenly sighed and started conversing with Li Jingren using the Thread Condensation Sound Transmission Technique, his tone carrying a hint of emotion.

Li Jingren, deeply agreeing, nodded and also spoke through the Thread Condensation Sound Transmission Technique: "A Universe Level perfection powerhouse in his early twenties is frightful enough, yet he also claims to know the Alchemy Technique... I previously doubted his ability to refine high-grade Elixirs, but now it seems, his words were true. Not only that, he even knows the Beast Taming Secret Technique. If it wasn’t for his intervention just now, Steward Sun, you might have been in mortal peril!"

"Not might have been, but definitely would have been!"

Sun Guangyi replied with a bitter smile, "When those two Spirit Beasts attacked, I was filled with despair, already giving up resistance. Fortunately, Senior Fang made his move in time, reigniting my desire to live!"

He glanced towards Fang Bai’s figure and continued, "This discovery of the Essence Stone Vein in Eternal Death Zone represents both a rare opportunity and a significant risk for our Golden Crow Manor. Speaking of opportunities, the underground Essence Stone reserves within a thousand miles of Eternal Death Zone are astonishing. If we could seize it all... even just half of it, Golden Crow Manor’s overall strength would surely advance further, becoming a leader among first-rank Sects..."

He spoke here, visibly excited, took a few deep breaths before calming down, and continued, "Speaking of challenges, this time tens of thousands of Martial Artists have come for the Essence Stone Vein, and more continue to arrive. Each one wants a share. If our Golden Crow Manor wants to monopolize the Essence Stone Vein, those Martial Artists will surely not agree, and it will inevitably lead to a fierce struggle..."

"Although our Golden Crow Manor is a first-rank Sect with rich heritage, over ten thousand Disciples, and formidable strength, fearing no Sect power. But those tens of thousands... perhaps even over a hundred thousand Martial Artists gathered together, their strength is only stronger than ours. Moreover, some scheming Sects want to take this opportunity to undermine our manor. Once our manor cannot hold out, it might be a disaster of complete destruction..."

Li Jingren knew that Sun Guangyi was not exaggerating. This discovery of the Essence Stone Vein in Eternal Death Zone poses even greater challenges than opportunities for Golden Crow Manor. If mishandled, Golden Crow Manor might truly face irreversible doom.

"Senior Fang’s strength is comparable to the Manor Master; if we could gain his assistance, our chances of winning in this struggle would greatly increase."

After a few moments of silence, Sun Guang Yi suddenly said.

Li Jingren’s heart stirred, just as he was about to ask Fang Bai how he was willing to lend a hand to Golden Crow Manor, he suddenly thought of something and looked contemplatively at Xia Chenyu.

"Do you mean..."

"That’s right."

Sun Guangyi, knowing that Li Jingren had guessed his thoughts, smiled and said, "Along the way, you must have noticed the profound relationship between Xia Chenyu and Senior Fang. Even the fact that Senior Fang agreed to come with us to the manor to treat Manor Huang’s son was for Xia Chenyu’s sake. Once we are at the manor, we should first communicate privately with Xia Chenyu, then let Xia Chenyu plead with Senior Fang..."

While saying this, he showed a helpless and bitter smile on his face, sighing, "Though I know this approach is somewhat improper, for the safety of the manor, many concerns must be set aside."

Li Jingren said, "If Senior Fang helps us, it’s equivalent to being enemies with tens of thousands of martial artists. Would he agree? I’m afraid that Xia Chenyu might not even be able to persuade him!"

Sun Guangyi said, "Then we’ll promise Senior Fang a significant amount of cultivation resources... enough to sway him!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jingren nodded his head.

Although martial artists value cultivation resources above all else while practicing the Martial Dao, ordinary resources would hardly catch Fang Bai’s discerning eye. Convincing him would require Golden Crow Manor to make a substantial sacrifice.

Luckily, as a premier sect that has been established for thousands of years, Golden Crow Manor is rich in resources. It isn’t hard to produce a considerable amount of cultivation resources. Moreover, if they could obtain the astonishingly rich Essence Stone Vein beneath the Eternal Death Zone with the help of Fang Bai, the cost would be negligible.

"This matter will still require Manor Huang’s approval."

"Of course. Once we return to the manor, we will discuss this matter in detail with Manor Huang immediately."

"Good."

Meanwhile, Sun Guangyi and Li Jingren were conversing through the Thread Condensation Sound Transmission Technique, a few screams incessantly pierced the air in the dense forest afar, amidst chaos.

Two eight-clawed giant lizards, with astonishing speed, charged into the forest like mad, attacking the few martial artist teams lying in ambush within, waiting to strike at Fang Bai and others.

Although there were several hundred martial artists in the forest, the strongest were only at the middle stage of Universe Level, and they were a minority. Yet, those two eight-clawed giant lizards dared to directly confront even those at the perfection stage of Universe Level. As they plunged into the group of martial artists, it was like stepping into a land with no resistance, and in the blink of an eye, over a dozen martial artists fell under their attack.

The most unlucky was Third Mo from the Tianji Sect recognized from Divine Fire Town, one of the weakest, he was slow in dodging, and one of the lizards bit off half of his body, his organs and blood spilled on the ground, dying slowly and painfully amidst agonizing screams.

"Everyone, don’t panic! With our collective effort of hundreds, we can surely slay two Spirit Beasts!"

He Rushan, one of the leaders of the Justice Alliance, saw that the few martial artist teams including his own "Justice Alliance" were in disarray, and especially suffering heavy losses, became both angry and anxious. Knowing that if this continued, the casualties would quickly increase and they would lack the strength to compete for their share of the Essence Stone Vein, thus, he let out a stern shout.
