THE LIGHTNING EMPEROR

fang Xian's Decision

***

At night, Fang Zui and Mu Yuan as well as Gu Fei Ming arrived at Fang Zui's house, they were startled after seeing Gu Yao He already inside with his disciple, who was already inside, and even more shocking was the existence of the familiar long white-haired young man in Fang Zui's eyes.

Fang Zui, Mu Yuan saluted Gu Yao He, while Gu Fei Ming greeted Luo Ying then Luo Ying introduced Fang An to Gu Fei Ming as well as explained if Fang An was his grandfather's disciple which meant his younger brother.

Clearly it was exciting news for Fang Zui and Mu Yuan as well as they knew of the mysterious teacher figure who was a Yu Jing, though it was actually wrong, but that was what they believed at the moment.

Not long after, Fang Zui's home regained the arrival of the other two strong men, they were Yun Hai Jie the Vice-Chairman of the Ghost Valley Group, and a 50-year-old woman named Xie Liu Pei, the main leader of the Flying Knife Group.

Yun Hai Jie was a figure known to all Cultivators, though rarely seen, but the image of the 60-year-old man was already lingering in everyone's mind.

Both Yun Hai Jie and Xie Liu Pei were both at the Yu Zhu stage, but different levels, Yun Hai Jie was at Level 5, while Xie Liu Pei was at Level 4.

After the arrival of those two powerful figures, came another few foreign figures, they were the small Clan Chief as well as a small group supporting the Fang Clan.

They all deliberately came because of Mu Yuan and Gu Fei Ming's request to gather regarding the discussion of Mu Yuan's plan.

And this time they all grew more confident after seeing the Pill King there as well, which meant that the Fang Clan had very strong support.

Fang Zui as the host immediately opened the discussion and wanted to ask for another opinion, but one of the leaders of the small Clan named Hang Zhui asked the Chang Clan who was not present, either from the representative or King Chang himself.

"Older Fang, the Chang Clan is a large Clan that has a strong influence in this Green Mainland Continent, their support is very helpful once, so what harm are they invited as well?" hang Zhui.

"Sorry brother Hang, it's not Fang Zui's brother who doesn't want to invite him, but rather I forbid it! Remember they are the government responsible for protecting the people, as a government, it doesn't feel right if they have to interfere and side with one of the two camps, so forget it!" replied Mu Yuan.

Fang An and Luo Ying looked at each other, they had both considered that the government was very good, and it was already fitting to support the truth and eliminate the oppressors.

After knowing all that, disappointment began to cause a point of disbelief again to the government.

Chang Hanzi was one of the Five strongest people, of course his strength was highly expected, just that it all seemed like nothing but empty hope.

In the end the discussion about the Mu Yuan Plan was carried out also even though there was no Chang Clan or representative from the government.

"Yes I also read the announcement of the Peach Tree Mountain Sect who wanted to hold a talented disciple search competition, after all, but this is very heavy risk considering that there will be many people from various Clans and other groups present, is not this the same as opening a feud openly?" said one of the other Clan leaders.

"Brothers and friends, the Peach Tree Mountain Sect must have already pocketed the records of our allies' names, sooner or later they will definitely strike back at the people who have joined here, will you be waiting for that day to come?" asked Mu Yuan.

Everything was silent and fixed on each other, whereas Gu Yao He only shook his head because from the start he was already convinced that the Chaos in the Green Land Continent would be unavoidable again.

"Our strength is indeed very great if we are united, we have five Yu Zhu and One Yu Jing, while for Yu Zha there are about 11 people, he said, and dozens of Yu Zhi as well as hundreds of Yu Zhe and Yu Zao, is this enough to fight against the Peach Tree Mountain Sect and its allies?" ask one of the other group leaders.

"I don't think, as we know the Peach Tree Mountain Sect and its allies have a larger number of Yu Zhu, either, not to mention Sect Chief Fu Jianzi who reportedly had done his retreat and was replaced by his deputy who was a Yu Zhu, who was, it was just that there was another news if the vice chairman had already broken through to the Yu Jing stage, didn't that mean the Peach Tree Mountain Sect had two of Yu Jing's people! It's a very big force for us to fight," said Xie Liu Pei who sat quietly.

"Who do you mean, Chief Mu? Is it King Chang Hanzi? Isn't she not present, so there's no way she'll be coming with us!" hang Zhui.

"It wasn't him, it was the others, who else if it wasn't my brother Red Bat Mu Zhi Tian," Mu Yuan replied.

"yes too! Especially now that there is the Ghost Valley on our side, will the Ghost Valley Chief Leader also be of help?"

They all stared at Yun Hai Jie, but Yun Hai Jie only smiled as she shook her head and said, "Our Great Chief can't possibly interfere with this matter, even though we are a mercenary group, but the Supreme Chief is never willing to get directly involved with the matter, unless this matter involves the Great Chief's family," Yun Hai Jie replied.

"Thank you for the answer, Brother Yun! It's okay if Senior Yan Lang doesn't want to join, with your mere existence it's more than enough," Mu Yuan said then he began to talk about the plan that had been prepared previously.

The plan was the same as the one that Fang Zui had discussed, therefore Mu Yuan smoothly expressed the plan.

Fang Xian felt deeply moved to see Mu Yuan's sincerity in helping to save his wife, as well as Fang An, he felt he had so much debt of service that it was hard to pay him off, if a word of thanks could pay it off, perhaps Fang Xian had already said that right now.

After all had been delivered, Gu Yao He suddenly spoke to all of them in a soft voice yet was heard by everyone.

"It's all just a plan, everything can change if something unexpected comes up! Remember war can happen, and war does not only lift the Sword, the Bow and the Spear, War also not only pits magic and other powers, only luck is in the war, since this will be done tomorrow, it's good for you all to go back home and see each other's families, because tomorrow we don't know what will happen" Gu Yao He said.

Gu Yao He's words seemed to lower everyone's guts, but all of Gu Yao He's words did have a point.

"Because everything is clear and there is nothing more we can discuss, then this meeting we end here, you can all go back to your respective places and gather with your families, he said, and tomorrow afternoon we will all gather at the foot of Peach Tree Mountain," Mu Yuan said.

Fang Xian immediately got up and cupped his hands together and said, "Before thank you very much for your support and assistance, especially for those who are willing to go tomorrow to the Peach Tree Mountain Sect.

This debt I cannot repay with sheer gratitude, and as the Elders of the Pill King said earlier, we do not know what will happen tomorrow.

If war is inevitable, there may only be a 50-point chance of winning, and of all of us there will definitely be a knockout, so before deciding I beg to rethink everything!

I will not force you to participate in tomorrow's plan, for those who do not want to come, you should not come tomorrow!" said Fang Xian opening Mu Yuan frowning his forehead.

"What do you mean?" mu Yuan asked who felt that Fang Xian was willing to lower the courage of the supporters.

"Master Mu, I know Master Mu's intentions are very good, yet I am not willing to sacrifice many other people's lives just for the sake of helping our little Clan, this one, therefore I hope to forget about this plan and let the Fang Clan alone settle it by themselves, I hope that everyone can understand and also rethink your decision," Fang Xian said.

All of them were speechless, this thought was also the same as what Fang Zui had once conveyed to Mu Yuan, therefore Mu Yuan forbade Fang Zui to say this to his supporters, but it turned out that it was Fang Xian who actually said it, and it had already become Fang Xian's decision

Although it was slightly different from Fang Zui's thinking, it was still the meaning of Fang Xian's words that led to the failure of his plan.

"Fang An, I hope that you leave tomorrow as far away from Chang Lan city as possible, if you need to go to the Heaven Wind Peak Academy or get out of this Green Land Continent, if you need to go to the Heaven Wind Peak Academy or out of this Green Land Continent, tomorrow there is no plan and no stratagem, there is a blatant declaration of war!" said Fang Xian who did not want Fang An to get involved, especially if the Peach Tree Mountain Sect knew that the thing they wanted was on Fang An.

Mu Yuan wanted to reprimand Fang Xian, while Fang Zui was silent, and before Mu Yuan could speak, Fang Xian first got up and walked away while saying his last message, "Love your lives, dear to you, your family needs you more than the Fang Clan does" Fang Xian said, then he entered the room leaving them all still confused, and it was obvious that Fang Xian did not want to sacrifice any more lives, as this matter was purely a matter of the Fang Clan.
