Chapter 1752 - 1392: Tianchi Sect's Unusual Movement!

Why does Shangguan Tianling, with his strength only at the Master Level Early Stage, get to become an elder of the Tianchi Sect and hold such a high position? It's primarily because of his brother Shangguan Tianlong...Back then, Shangguan Tianlong joined the government partly because he didn't want to waste away his years in the deep mountains and partly to enjoy a taste of worldly power and influence.

Over the years, Shangguan Tianlong has slowly climbed to his current position, paying a considerable price but also bringing many benefits to the Tianchi Sect.

Therefore, although Shangguan Tianlong is not an elder of the Tianchi Sect, his status is no less than that of the sect leader. Whenever disciples of the Tianchi Sect who are out on training cause trouble, it is Shangguan Tianlong who is called upon to resolve it...

The hero uses martial arts to defy the law!

Even in this era, not much has changed; the country won't allow martial arts experts, who could cause injuries at any time, to mess around unchecked.

Naturally, those with a background fare a little better, such as the Tianchi Sect, where someone is always there to clean up the mess when trouble is caused; those without a background have it worse. Even if they are very strong and terrifying, their eventual fate won't be good, as evidenced by the martial experts of the Tang Sect recently eradicated by Qin Fang and Tang Cheng...

Tang Huaiyuan thought he was powerful, and with many Master-level disciples by his side, such strength was enough to do many things, even wantonly.

But what happened in the end? Tang Huaiyuan himself died unexpectedly, most of his disciples were also killed or injured, and only two barely escaped. It's still uncertain whether they can return to the Tang Sect alive.

If the Tang Sect's power was like this, the mere Tianchi Sect couldn't even be compared. If those two old fellows really started something with the Tang Family, the Tianchi Sect might also have to face repercussions.

"Tianlong, then what do you think... what do you think we should do? We... we'll follow your lead!"

Intimidated by Shangguan Tianlong, the two elders and the young people behind them turned a bit pale, forced to ask firmly while trying to remain calm.

At this moment, Shangguan Tianlong was the backbone for all of them. If Shangguan Tianlong told them to do something now, they probably wouldn't refuse.

"Actually... killing isn't an impossible solution!"

Shangguan Tianlong seemed quite satisfied looking at their expressions, speaking slowly. But these words left them stunned on the spot.

"But I'm not asking you to kill the Tang Family, but... Qin Fang!"

Only then did Shangguan Tianlong say slowly. When mentioning that name, a compelling aura suddenly burst from him, causing even the two elders to frown slightly.

"Qin Fang?"

The two elders were stunned, looking at Shangguan Tianlong in surprise, with astonishment in their eyes. "Tianlong, didn't you say not to move against him temporarily? So what's with this now..."

"That was then! Things are different now..."

Shangguan Tianlong chuckled, saying carelessly. As for why he prevented the Tianchi Sect from acting against Qin Fang before, perhaps only he knew the reason. Content orıginally comes from N()velFire.net

The same goes for why he wants to act against Qin Fang now. Only he knows the reason, and he has no intention of explaining it to the two elders of the Tianchi Sect.

"Well... now that you've said so, we won't hold back anymore. After all, we've wanted to act for a long time..."

The two elders exchanged glances and, after a moment of silence, declared with determination. After all, they came out this time with Qin Fang as their primary target.

Having already delayed for quite some time, they had accumulated a bit of resentment, though they dared not voice it because of Shangguan Tianlong's status.

But since Shangguan Tianlong has asked them to act, there is no need to keep dragging it out.

"But regarding the Tang family..."

However, the two elders seemed somewhat intimidated by Shangguan Tianlong's earlier words about the Tang family, now somewhat worried.

"I will handle matters regarding the Tang family myself, so you won't have any issues..."

Shangguan Tianlong waved his hand. Although he had previously described the Tang family as formidable, he now seemed overly confident. It's unclear where this confidence stems from.

"However, I must remind the two of you that despite Qin Fang's young age, his cultivation is considerably advanced. At the very least, he is at the Master Level Late Stage... or even stronger! So you should be mentally prepared and not get caught off guard..."

Of course, he had realized this when even the combined efforts of his Blade Guards were far from Qin Fang's match. Qin Fang's strength was far more concealed than his age suggests. Although both elders are highly skilled, being careless could indeed cost them dearly...

"You can rest assured, if we can't handle a mere youngster, there's no need for the two of us old guys to linger in the Martial World anymore!"

However, the two elders seemed quite confident, which is understandable, given their considerable strength. Maybe they didn't even regard Master Level Late Stage, or even Master Level Peak, as a real threat!

Or maybe they just didn't want to appear weak in front of Shangguan Tianlong, considering they had just been intimidated by him.

Shangguan Tianlong didn't say much, just nodded with a smile and let these Tianchi Sect experts leave.

...

Shangguan Tianlong arranged for the Tianchi Sect people to hunt down Qin Fang, though Qin Fang knew nothing about this. However, his encounter with Shangguan Ao today did remind Qin Fang of the group of enemies he still had lingering in Jiangzhou.

Originally, Qin Fang didn't pay much attention to Shangguan Tianlong, but today Tang Cheng mentioned him, which prompted Qin Fang to be more cautious.

"Grandmaster-level Expert..."

The Eldest Uncle of the Tang family is the head of the security bureau, and the call from Tang Cheng was mainly to scare Shangguan Ao, not to actually send Shangguan Tianlong off on a mission in the Golden Triangle.

In Dragon Country, state departments are scattered, and each faction has its own influence. It's not always easy for those in high positions to manage their subordinates.

The Eldest Uncle of the Tang family is no exception, though he indeed could assign Shangguan Tianlong a mission to the Golden Triangle, tasks requiring such a high-tier expert are rare...

After all, Shangguan Tianlong's strength far surpasses that of his younger brother, Shangguan Tianling, having already reached the Grandmaster-level Tier. This level of skill is first-class even within the security bureau, rarely utilized!

Shangguan Ao, foolish as he was, didn't understand this, which is why he was easily intimidated by Tang Cheng and hurried back to seek his father's help.

Shangguan Tianlong, being wise, wasn't in a rush either. He had thoroughly investigated the relationship between Qin Fang and the Tang family in advance.

That is part of the reason why he previously prevented the Tianchi Sect from acting against Qin Fang.

However, now that Qin Fang is involved in this incident with Shangguan Ao, Shangguan Tianlong might be concerned about Qin Fang or the Tang family taking measures against him, hence choosing to act preemptively...

Qin Fang wasn't too concerned with the members of the Tianchi Sect, as he had an idea about their strength.

What truly concerned Qin Fang was Shangguan Tianlong, who had reached the Grandmaster-level Tier... After all, it was true that Shangguan Tianling died at his hands. The two were brothers, and if anyone were to say Shangguan Tianlong did not seek revenge, Qin Fang wouldn't believe it even if beaten.

Qin Fang wasn't sure why the Tianchi Sect remained inactive previously, but he speculated it had something to do with Shangguan Tianlong.

Yet, given the significant conflict between Qin Fang and Shangguan Tianlong's son, Shangguan Ao, where Qin Fang nearly killed him, resolving this issue peacefully now seemed unlikely.
