Chapter 493 - 137: The Anxious Nine-Thousand-Year! A Fight Breaks Out? (Part 3)
Thinking of this.
Wei Hongfang’s eyes became much sharper.
If someone blocks his path, it’s not just a matter of being a godson; even a biological son must be eliminated if necessary.
...
"Have they started fighting?"
Imperial Music Bureau.
In the elegant room at the top floor.
Ye Liuyun held a wine cup in one hand, leisurely drinking wine.
Beside him, Mei Ji was examining the information collected by her subordinates.
The remnants of Qingshui Pavilion didn’t stop with Mei Ji, Qu Zheng, and Granny Liu—there were others, although their cultivation was not very high, but they were more than sufficient for intelligence gathering.
Indeed.
The information brought back concerned the fight between Wei Hongfang and the Yun Hu and Guan Bao brothers.
The end of the month was approaching ever faster.
Seeing no opportunity whatsoever, Wei Hongfang became somewhat anxious.
That’s why he found some pretext to attack the two brothers, aiming to eliminate them directly.
"What was the outcome?"
Upon hearing this news, Ye Liuyun showed a bit of interest.
He set down the wine cup in his hand and glanced sideways.
"It should have been a draw, since Yun Hu and Guan Bao left Wei Hongfang’s residence unharmed, and after they left, those gathering intelligence heard sounds of smashing and Wei Hongfang’s angry roars from within his residence!"
As for the specific situation.
That’s unknown.
After all, Wei Hongfang is a Grandmaster. It’s already quite impressive to gather information from outside the residence. Trying to sneak into the residence to witness it firsthand would be underestimating Wei Hongfang as a Grandmaster.
However.
From this tidbit of information, one can still analyze some intelligence.
If Yun Hu and Guan Bao didn’t possess the power to retreat safely, given Wei Hongfang’s character, he wouldn’t have easily let them leave.
"It seems Yun Hu has already broken through to the Grandmaster Realm!"
Besides that, there’s no other possibility.
Considering it’s been nearly a month, Yun Hu’s breakthrough isn’t surprising.
If the cultivation speed of Demon Path techniques wasn’t quick,
why would anyone risk the side effects to practice them?
As for Guan Bao breaking through, Ye Liuyun hadn’t witnessed that likelihood at all.
From the first meeting, Ye Liuyun discerned.
Guan Bao’s cultivation was average.
Reaching Innate Perfection in this lifetime would be commendable, without wishing for more.
Using a shortcut cultivation technique to achieve Innate Perfection was already the limit; further breakthroughs might completely drain his vitality.
With Yun Hu’s Grandmaster Realm and Guan Bao’s Innate Perfection, confronting Wei Hongfang isn’t particularly difficult.
Of course.
This also relates to Wei Hongfang’s incompetence.
A late-stage Grandmaster, previously injured by an Innate Martial Artist, is utterly disgraceful.
"Your cultivation technique’s effect is quite good; even I’m tempted to practice it!"
Beside him, Mei Ji couldn’t resist turning to Ye Liuyun.
Reaching Innate Mid-stage at her age was already quite talented.
But breaking through to Grandmaster seemed like a distant dream.
She hadn’t encountered it before, but now having experienced it, Mei Ji finally understood why so many people wanted to shortcut their cultivation by practicing Demon Path techniques—the speed is indeed fast!
"You could!"
Glancing at Mei Ji, Ye Liuyun spoke quite naturally.
"With your talent, not just Grandmaster, you might even break through to Grandmaster!"
"Really!"
Upon hearing the term Grandmaster, Mei Ji’s eyes noticeably brightened.
Before she could revel in the joy, Ye Liuyun’s voice continued.
"After a year or so of cultivation, if you exhaust your vitality, become emaciated, your eyes sunken, cheekbones recessed, given your looks, that transformation might have its own unique allure."
"Even if you break through to Grandmaster, you’d be like a candle in the wind, easily shattered!"
The Demon Path cultivation technique isn’t easy to practice.
The side effects are significant.
Otherwise, everyone would be cultivating Demon Path techniques, abandoning honest, serious cultivation!
"This..."
Hearing Ye Liuyun’s words.
Mei Ji was first stunned, unable to help envisioning herself in that form, just like a ghost.
Thinking of this.
Mei Ji quickly shook her head.
"No way! No way!"
Just imagining turning into that shape fills Mei Ji with rejection.
Truly becoming that creature neither human nor ghost, she’d rather stick to honest, proper cultivation.
"..."
Watching Mei Ji.
Ye Liuyun merely shrugged without further commenting.
In the elegant room.
Besides Ye Liuyun and Mei Ji, Qu Zheng and Granny Liu were also present. Observing the playful scene, the two elders exchanged glances and chuckled.
Assuming all goes well, this scene would be quite beautiful.
"You’re just scaring me!"
At this point, Mei Ji finally realized.
Ye Liuyun said it deliberately to frighten her.
"But Yun Hu and Guan Bao, those brothers, are about to start working beside Yan Fuhai. When can we begin our plan?"
It’s clear.
Regarding dealing with Yan Fuhai, Mei Ji seemed particularly anxious.
