1013 Rescue (2/2)
Fang Tianhan, the Noble Mountain Sect Master, was currently trapped on this peak. He was relying on this dangerous narrow passageway to strenuously support himself.
Fang Yuan looked at the steep peak and exclaimed, ”Is this Eagle End Peak? It's indeed perilous!”
”Young Master, please give us your instructions!”
Zhang Long and the others were already loyal, but after the Noble Mountain Sect incident, they now had a fantastic trust in Fang Yuan.
”You won't do anything. With your martial arts, you'll only be burdens!” Fang Yuan said bluntly. ”So… you just have to leave the way out open for me. I'll go alone!”
”Young Master…” Zhang Long said anxiously, ”you're our hope for the future. Please don't do anything rash!”
Evidently, in his opinion, Fang Yuan's breakthrough and mastery of a Martial Dao True Intent still left a significant gap between Fang Yuan and someone on the Martial Roll like Poison Fire Demon Lord Sun Yan.
”Rest assured!”
Fang Yuan waved his hand, disappeared into the shadows of the woods, and approached Eagle End Peak at blinding speed.
As he neared the peak, the Demon Sect disciples' patrols quickly became more frequent and strict.
However, it was basically impossible for the disciples to discover Fang Yuan hidden in the thick woods with their Acquired cultivation.
He climbed Eagle End Peak agilely and arrived near the summit.
After getting a clear look, Fang Yuan immediately groaned. ”Is that the narrow passageway? It's clearly a narrow bridge!”
He saw a large group of Demon Sect disciples huddled at a spot, blocking the way to the summit of the peak.
In other words, the only way to reach the summit was a narrow ridge that was just wide enough to fit a single foot. There were only cliffs on the sides of the ridge. It was truly a dangerous path.
At the end of the path, there was a vaguely visible middle-aged man. He was wearing Noble Mountain Sect clothes that were rich and magnificent. He stood there proudly with an imposing demeanor.
He was Fang Xu's father, the Noble Mountain Sect Master, Fang Tianhan.
Under these circumstances, even Sun Yan is unlikely to dare to fight Fang Tianhan. No wonder he managed to hold on until now.
Fang Yuan understood everything with a single glance.
Regretfully, while it was easy to defend at that spot, he had pushed himself into a corner as well.
His only path out was blocked.
The Poison Fire Demon Lord tried to persuade Fang Tianhan to surrender in a loud and clear voice. ”Fang Tianhan, are you still unwilling to surrender? Your wife and son have already fallen into my hands!”
”I won't believe anything unless I see it for myself!” Fang Tianhan struck an imposing pose with a resolute expression. ”Not to mention… I'm afraid my family's disaster would truly start the moment I surrender, right?”
”Stubborn!” Poison Fire Demon Lord Sun Yan shouted angrily, feeling rather helpless.
At Connate perfection, a martial artist had also thoroughly trained their willpower, and they would not waver once they made a decision.
The only solution was to erode his will slowly.
Compared to Fang Tianhan, he had food and water. Even Connate perfection martial artists would eventually lose their energy. After all, this was a Martial Dao world, and there were no cultivators that could live on just wind and dew.
The only thing he was afraid of was the possibility of Fang Tianhan jumping off the cliff to commit suicide when he was exhausted. In that case, there would really be nothing left for him to gain.
”That Zhang Hanzhen was so useless. Getting him to seize Fang Tianhan's wife and son was a big mistake!”
Only the surviving elders knew of Fang Yuan's mastery of Intent and his massacre of the elders in the discussion hall.
After the massacre, the surviving elders did not breathe a word of it to anyone. Although ordinary disciples knew that there had been a coup, they were not aware that Fang Yuan had dealt with it all by himself.
According to Zhang Hanzhen's plan, he would have first justifiably expelled Fang Xu and Jiang Xinlan out of the sect and then secretly send kidnappers after them.
Unfortunately, he had hesitated for the sake of a righteous image and was finally defeated by Fang Yuan in a single blow.
All schemes and plots became jokes in the face of absolute power.
”The situation now is a game of endurance. Fang Tianhan can't come out, but the Demon Sect disciples can't get in either!”
Fang Yuan looked on coldly. ”Sun Yan must be the one with Caucasian features. He is the only one at Connate perfection. But to maintain his physical and mental strength while wearing Fang Tianhan down, he must take a rest to eat and drink from time to time. That will be my chance.”
Of course, there was plenty of manpower in Demon Sect. Even if Sun Yan took a rest, there were the peak Connate left and right guardians guarding the narrow path.
Although they were slightly weaker than perfection-stage martial artists, it would not be easy for Fang Tianhan to break through them.
It would only take a small delay before Sun Yan could hurry back. As such, it was absolutely safe.
”However, this arrangement targets Fang Tianhan alone!”
Fang Yuan approached quietly, knocked a disciple unconscious, changed into the disciple's clothes, and sneaked into the inner layer.
Sun Yan frowned. ”Damn it. His endurance is really high. Left and Right Guardians! Keep watch over the path, and don't let Fang Tianhan break through here! I'm going to take a rest.”
”Rest assured, Grand Guardian!”
The two peak Connate experts nodded and kept watch over the path, while Sun Yan started resting in a temporary pergola.
”Chance!”
Fang Yuan's eyes gleamed.
