Chapter 483 - 265: Provoking the Desert Martial Alliance and Beidou Sword King Again

"Second, you should know that I once spared the Qin Family of the Great Victory Dynasty twice and the Song Family once. The reason I want to destroy them now is merely an excuse; the real reason is that the Imperial Family, like a sect, only exploits the Human Race.

I am supporting you to become the Emperor, but naturally, I do not want the Deng Family to become another parasitic Imperial Family that only drains the Human Race’s blood in a few hundred years.

Thus, I require that every member of the Imperial Family of the Deng Family must go to the battlefield to fight the Demon Fiends and protect the common people.

Of course, whether you agree to this or not is irrelevant; the empire is given to the Deng Family by me. If the Deng Family cannot protect the people and safeguard the commoners, I will personally take back what I have given you!

Being an Emperor is not about enjoyment; it is a responsibility."

He had no other way to ensure that the Deng Family would not become another Song Family in the future, so he had to achieve it in this manner.

Deng Yuchang shivered all over, realizing that the rumors in Jianghu misunderstood Wei Fan, or else he couldn’t possibly say such things.

He immediately and solemnly cupped his hands and said, "What a sentence, being an Emperor is not about enjoyment, but responsibility. Inspector Wei, rest assured, this clause can be written into the law. If my descendants fail to uphold it, I invite the Generals of various provinces to rise and overthrow the Deng Family’s reign, and the Demon Hunter Organization to help supervise!"

He too was an ambitious man, and establishing such rules would undoubtedly benefit the people of Chu Kingdom and earn him everlasting fame.

"Third, I want you to emulate the Dragon Kingdom and require that all sects within the territory must join the Demon Suppression Bureau to fight the Demon Fiends, or leave the Chu Kingdom. This clause will be issued in my name, and if any sects refuse to leave or join the Demon Suppression Bureau, I will personally intervene!"

Now that the decision was made, Wei Fan wanted to truly improve the Chu Kingdom, not just install an arbitrary emperor.

Furthermore, he wanted to further pressure the Desert Martial Alliance. Having become a Martial King, he now had the confidence to confront the Desert Martial Alliance head-on, and he waited to see which sects would dare to rebel.

"Alright!"

Deng Yuchang also nodded in agreement. As the Garrison Commander of the Demon Suppression Bureau, he was similarly disgusted by the behavior of the sects. Wei Fan’s assistance in resolving these issues was a great relief for someone who might become the Emperor.

"Fourth, I want you to allocate land for the Yunhua Sect and assist them in rebuilding their sect. However, like other sects, Yunhua Sect’s disciples will also join the Demon Suppression Bureau to fight the Demon Fiends in the future!"

Wei Fan had already communicated with Dongfang Ye and Ji Qingyue, and they both agreed to establish the Yunhua Sect in the Chu Kingdom. As a sect initially established in the heart of Demon Fiend territory, they did not have the issues that external sects had.

Deng Yuchang also agreed to this stipulation.

Wei Fan looked at the two Garrison Commanders who came with Deng Yuchang: "Do you have any objections to him becoming the Emperor?"

The two shook their heads vigorously. Judging by Wei Fan’s tone, if they dared to object, Wei Fan would likely take immediate action against them.

"Brother Deng becoming the Emperor, we are wholeheartedly convinced and will surely support him to the best of our abilities!" the two said in unison.

Wei Fan nodded satisfactorily: "Good, now you go and mobilize people to arrest the members of the Song Family. Subsequently, you can publicly announce Deng Yuchang’s impending ascension, and strive to gain the support of each province’s Generals. If anyone opposes, I will deal with it!"

The three departed, beginning to mobilize troops and capture the Song Family members. By the afternoon, the blockade on the Capital City was lifted, allowing everyone to enter and exit normally.

As the blockade was lifted, the news of the Chu Imperial Family being destroyed by Wei Fan spread like wildfire across the Wilderness.

However, compared to when the Qin Family was destroyed, this time the impact was noticeably less, as many had already anticipated Wei Fan’s intent to destroy the Song Family.

What truly surprised people was that Wei Fan once again abandoned the Chu Kingdom’s reign, handing the conquered land to others, and just as in the Dragon Kingdom, he demanded that the sects within the Chu Kingdom either join the Demon Suppression Bureau to fight the Demon Fiends or leave the Chu Kingdom, or he would eliminate them!

The matter being discussed most in Jianghu was the demand for sects to join the Demon Suppression Bureau.

It was well-known that all Peak Sects in the Wilderness were members of the Desert Martial Alliance, united and determined. At their peak, even the Demon Fiends and various Imperial Families feared the Desert Martial Alliance, and they nearly went to war with the Demon Hunter Organization.

Now, seven or eight sects of the Desert Martial Alliance have already been directly destroyed by Wei Fan, including King-level sects like the Extreme Martial Sect, and Wei Fan has even killed disciples from the Holy Sect of Guangling.

The sects that had been destroyed were naturally at fault for provoking Wei Fan first. However, the situations in the Dragon Kingdom and Chu Kingdom were different; these sects were forced to join the Demon Suppression Bureau, or were required to leave, or face annihilation, which severely tarnished the reputation of the Desert Martial Alliance.

If the Desert Martial Alliance remains passive after the occurrences in the Dragon Kingdom and Chu Kingdom, it will become a laughingstock with no real alliance power anymore.

Moreover, the Guangling Sect, which established the Desert Martial Alliance, will be ridiculed worldwide.

"What’s this kid up to, constantly provoking the Desert Martial Alliance, does he really think they’re harmless?"

In the Demon Hunter Sub-Hall, Elder Gongyang frowned upon hearing that Wei Fan had abolished the Chu Kingdom and once again demanded the Chu Kingdom sects join the Demon Suppression Bureau.

As the Demon Hunter Sub-Palace Master, he naturally loathes the Wilderness Sects, wanting to exterminate these sects that only drain the blood of the Human Race without resisting the Demon Fiend, but he is acutely aware of the power of the Desert Martial Alliance.

Once a face-off with the Desert Martial Alliance begins, regardless of who wins or loses, it will be the ordinary people who suffer. As long as one or two Martial Kings of the Demon Hunter Organization fall, the Demon Fiend will certainly seize the opportunity to attack the Human Race.

"Could it be that there’s an unknown Human Race Martial King behind him, giving him the confidence to continuously provoke the Desert Martial Alliance, provoke the Guangling Sect, and attempt to kill the Desert Martial Alliance’s Martial Kings?"

The Demon Hunter Organization only knows about the Yunhua Sect battle, where eighteen Demon Venerables, including Xuanhe Sect’s Saint Son and Little Ape King, as well as a hidden Demon King, the Celestial Cyan Demon King, were killed. As for whether it was Wei Fan who killed them, no one knows.

Even Ji Qingyue only saw Wei Fan in a battle annihilating the Xuanhe Sect’s Saint Son, but did not see the battle where Wei Fan killed the Celestial Cyan Demon King.

Some speculate that Wei Fan himself has become a Martial King, while more tend to believe there is a Martial King behind Wei Fan.

After all, an eighteen-year-old Martial King is a rarity outside the Land of Dao Collapse. Since the Dao Collapse, no such Demon has appeared in the Wilderness.

Not even a Martial King under a hundred years old has appeared; they generally take hundreds of years of cultivation to become a Martial King.

"Where does his confidence come from?"

Not only is Elder Gongyang puzzled, but the Desert Martial Alliance is also uncertain.

The Desert Martial Alliance has a total of four Martial Kings, whose strength is not much weaker than the Demon Hunter Organization. Wei Fan’s continual pressure makes the Desert Martial Alliance uncertain whether it’s Wei Fan’s personal actions or the Demon Hunter Organization’s orders.

Or perhaps there’s a Martial King behind Wei Fan that they don’t know about. After all, the general public is unaware, but the intelligence system of the Desert Martial Alliance knows that when the Xuanhe Sect’s Saint Son and others set in ambush to kill Wei Fan, the Martial Kings of the Demon Fiend side immobilized the Demon Hunter Organization’s Martial Kings, and no one helped Wei Fan.

In Guangling Sect, a group of elders are also discussing Wei Fan’s matter.

"Saint Master, if we continue to ignore the affairs of the Chu Kingdom, the Desert Martial Alliance will cease to exist in name, and sects will no longer heed our commands!" The Law Enforcement Elder of Guangling Sect spoke.

They’re not unaware of the consequences of ignoring the Chu Kingdom affairs, but since Wei Fan exterminated the Qin Family of the Great Victory Dynasty, Guangling Sect has yet to reach a decision on how to deal with Wei Fan.

In the Great Victory Dynasty incident, even with a King’s Soldier, their Martial Venerable was still killed by Wei Fan, who snatched the King’s Soldier. Sending ordinary Martial Venerables to kill Wei Fan would be sending them to their deaths, as even dozens might not be sufficient to kill Wei Fan.

When a king takes action, they worry it’s a conspiracy by the Demon Hunter Organization to instigate war with the Desert Martial Alliance.

After all, with the development spanning one or two thousand years, the Demon Hunter Organization has continually grown, while the Desert Martial Alliance remains stagnant, lacking the confidence for a war with the Demon Hunter Organization.

"It’s no big deal for the Desert Martial Alliance to cease existing in name. Over the years, it’s been our Guangling Sect taking care of those sects. The main issue is Wei Fan killed disciples like Qin Chao from Guangling Sect. If Guangling Sect doesn’t retaliate, our Saint Sect’s status will be at risk, and anyone will dare to kill our people from Guangling Sect in the future."

The Instructor Elder of Guangling Sect spoke, truly concerned about the reputation of Guangling Sect.

With Wei Fan killing four disciples from Guangling Sect, Guangling Sect cannot feign ignorance. If the Saint Sect’s reputation collapses, who would dare send talented individuals to Guangling Sect in the future?

The Saint Master of Guangling Sect, a middle-aged man with a refined appearance, remained silent, sitting quietly at the head. Seeing no other elders speak, he finally said: "What of the Beidou Sword King, this year’s Desert Martial Alliance should be managed by his Beidou Sword Sect, has he not spoken?"

The Desert Martial Alliance isn’t a monolith; the Three Major Sects all wish to suppress the others.

Guangling Sect hasn’t dealt with Wei Fan partly because they want the Beidou Sword Sect to take the lead, for the Beidou Sword King to probe Wei Fan’s depths, whether this is a conspiracy by the Demon Hunter Organization or if there’s a hidden master behind Wei Fan.

While worried, the elders saw that their Saint Master remained composed. Being the only Saint Sect of the Human Race, Guangling Sect’s reputation wouldn’t be greatly affected unless Wei Fan was dealt with some day, restoring their reputation. The cautious stance to let the Beidou Sword Sect probe Wei Fan is the correct choice.

Once, the Martial Saint Ancestor was too hasty, ultimately perishing together with the Celestial Desolation Empire’s Saint Master.

Bringing matters to such a point, acting rashly invites disaster.

"To reply to the Saint Master, the Beidou Sword Sect says the Sword King is still in retreat, leaving it to our Guangling Sect to deal with Wei Fan!" An elder hurriedly announced.

The Saint Master of Guangling Sect snorted: "The Desert Martial Alliance’s reputation is about to be ruined, and he still has the mind to retreat. Tell them to forcibly break through their retreat; if the Beidou Sword Sect cannot lead the Desert Martial Alliance, they should quickly withdraw from the sect leadership!"

Join forces with Xingyun Pavilion, and apply pressure on the Beidou Sword Sect together. Resolve Wei Fan within two days, providing an explanation to the Chu Kingdom’s Desert Martial Alliance members!"

With these words, his figure vanished from the hall, leaving the bewildered elders.

Even at this time, is internal conflict really good?

Logically, the Saint Master is not such a short-sighted person, he should not act this way.

Nevertheless, albeit puzzled, some elders swiftly proceeded to contact the Beidou Sword Sect.
