Chapter 127: Old dog’s sinister move (2/2)
Ye Chuan was also silent, secretly looking at Third Elder Bai Yanhu.
The aim of this old man is certainly not destroying the alchemy furnaces in itself, it is to seize the opportunity to make things difficult and get rid of me. Obviously, this is his scheme. Well, now the opportunity has come to make me go to the capital. Like this, he can calmly get rid of me, his threat, borrowing the knife!
Sure enough, Third Elder Bai Yanhu stood up, and looking at the people all around, his gaze stopped for a moment on Ye Chuan and he said: “Great Elder, Going to the capital and facing the Sage isn’t simple, I fear average people cannot handle this, it’s impossible for the people without the ability to assume responsibility to accomplish this. In my view……, other than Great Elder yourself, no one else is qualified!”
What?
All the people inside Cloud Mist Hall create the commotion. Everybody was startled.
After Sect Master had left, Great Elder had done his best to hold up the heavy burden to take direct charge of the sect for many years. If he also encountered any mishaps in the capital, then wouldn’t it be……
People were shocked but thinking about this carefully, Third Elder Bai Yanhu’s words were also reasonable. Going to the capital to request reduce or waive task or postpone, only Great Elder Zhu Guohong had this ability, also only if he went personally, that would have enough weight. Otherwise, if they send only young disciples to go, then perhaps they would die without even seeing Da Qin King’s face.
Looking at Bai Yanhu, Ye Chuan was very surprised in his heart.
He had basically thought that this old man would seize this chance to frame him, but to his surprise, he unexpectedly suggested Great Elder go to the capital. Could it be that he was over suspicious? Or, this old dog still had some other despicable scheme?
“Fine, I will personally go to the capital! During the time I am absent in the sect, Second Elder will lead the sect, no one is allowed to disobey!”
Great Elder Zhu Guohong pondered for a while, and made a prompt decision.
“Great Elder, this still won’t do.”
Third Elder Bai Yanhu’s eyes flashed with pallid light, then looking at Great Elder Zhu Guohong, he said: “Putting hope only on brutal Da Qin King, the risk is too big, we must plan for the aftermath in case the task of the capital is failed.”
“Speak directly.” Great Elder Guohong directly said, taking a decisive action in a complex situation.
Bai Yanhu looked at the people all around once again and said: “To complete the task of Da Qin King, we still have a way, immediately look for substitute alchemy furnaces. Earth grade alchemy furnaces are hard to find, and there is also not much time to find. But we can send some people to go and look for our former days’ ally, Heavenly Yao Sect, and borrow Heavenly Yao Sect’s treasure, Heaven Burning Furnace. That however is Heaven grade alchemy furnace passed down from millions of years. As long as we borrow it, no need to talk about a month, half a month is more than enough to fulfill the task!”
Heavenly Yao Sect?
The complexion of Great Elder Zhu Guohong and Second Elder Nangong Ren changed, and especially Great Elder Zhu Guohong, his complexion was gloomy.
If they could borrow Heaven Burning Furnace, then that naturally would be the best, as the problem in front of would be solved easily. The problem was, who would go to borrow Heaven Burning furnace?
Very long time ago, when Cloud Mist Sect was the foremost sect of Heavenly Fire Continent, Heavenly Yao Sect was merely a small sect attached to Cloud Mist Sect.
Later, Cloud Mist Sect began to decline, and two sects stood on the equal footing, so they became allies. Again later, Cloud Mist Sect steadily deteriorated until it could not even maintain its control over the complete area of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, then with the rise and development of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, Cloud Mist Sect fell even lower. But, Heavenly Yao Sect however firmly keep on making progress and was like the sun at high noon, nowadays, it faintly showed the sign of becoming the foremost sect of the Heavenly Fire Continent. These two sects had no dealings with each other for many years, and they don’t know whether Heavenly Yao Sect had already thrown away the treaty of alliance or not, and Cloud Mist Sect was also ashamed to claim a connection with the people in the higher level.
If they went there to borrow one or two ordinary treasures with thick-face, then considering the relation of former days, and also considering their sect’s reputation, Heavenly Yao Sect might lend them. But what was Heaven Burning Furnace? That however was Heavenly Yao Sect’s defining treasure ever since the ancient times, legend says that, it suppress the destiny of Heavenly Yao Sect, and only on one day of each year when they offer sacrifices, they would bring it out. Hastily go to borrow, what’s the possibility?
Great Elder Zhu Guohong remained silent, didn’t speak for a long time. The purpose of Third Elder Bai Yanhu was good, unfortunately, the difficulty to accomplish was too hard, even harder than going to the capital and face the Sage. The person that went to Heavenly Yao Sect to borrow Heaven Burning Furnace, no need to mention about being ridiculed, under the rage of the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect, they might tear apart that person, and shatter his soul!
