re human race! Six more Transcendent Realm powerhouses then banded together, determined to eradicate the Great Shadow Demon… No one expected that the result would be the same."Fang Yu remained silent..."Liang Qiu said, her brows furrowed, 'If it were just to become the number one power, Wujue Jiao wouldn't need to participate in such a risky plan. They could develop slowly and soon become the top power in Biezhou.'"

"What are the privileges of becoming the number one force" Fang Yu asked.

"Privileges" Liang Qiu was taken aback, then replied, "Dao Yu meant the benefits of becoming the top force, right… These benefits are limitless. Once you become the top force in a region, it means you can control all the rules within that region."

Just like the Fu Yin Imperial Dynasty in the Southern Desolation, the Fu Huang controls the entire region. He is the supreme ruler there, having the final say. He can dictate rules to bind all forces within the area...

"So, as long as you become the leading force, you can get benefits through all sorts of means, right" Fang Yu asked.

"You could say that," Liang Qiu said, "In our Wuzhou province, there are four major forces, and their strength is roughly equal. Therefore, the situation in Wuzhou is quite clear. None of us can unilaterally interfere with the rules governing the entire region... Any ideas need the consent of the other three forces to be implemented properly." Liang Qiu continued, "Therefore, within Wuzhou, there are no strict rules. The major forces are all developing freely."

Fang Yu nodded and didn't say anything more.

If becoming the number one force means having complete control over a region's discourse, then it becomes clear why an emperor would want to do so.

But what exactly does he hope to gain by controlling the First Force

The cultivation realm of the Emperor must be above that of a Xuanxian.

And a celestial immortal seeking benefits would certainly not desire those tangible things like artifacts, elixirs, or crystals.

"What could it be Is there something that only the first force can obtain Is it just the power to make the rules But rules are made to gain benefits, what exactly does he want" Fang Yu pondered in his heart.

In a moment of thought, he arrived at the gate of Furong Gate.

The Furong Gate is located among deep mountains, built on a large lake. The environment is very beautiful.

As you walk through the grand gate, you're greeted by rows of pristine hibiscus flowers lining your path.

The entire journey was a feast for the eyes, and I even spotted several disciples of the Fu Rong Sect.

There are both males and females, but females make up a larger proportion.

Liang Qiu walked all the way with Fang Yu and Han Miao Yi to a quiet place.

Here is a small pool, and on the surface of the water there is a large blooming lotus flower, which looks extremely beautiful.

There are also sounds of gushing springs, the environment is quite good.

"This is where I practice my skills every day, called the Hibiscus Terrace," Liang Qiu introduced.

"Not bad." Fang Yu replied.

"We've already heard about what happened at Wanli Academy within our sect. My master and several elders have asked me to go meet with them." Liangqiu said to Fang Yu, "Mr. Dao Yu, Miss Miaoyi, I must take my leave for a while."

"I suggest you go get some rest first," Fang Yu said.

"It's better to deal with the things at hand first than to dwell on past injuries." Liang Qiu smiled faintly, and said.

After saying that, she turned and left.

Fang Yu walked to the platform of the hibiscus flower and turned his head to find Han Miaoyin standing in the distance, just not bringing Yuan Shsheng over.

"Come here then," Fang Yu said.

"Humph!"

Hàn Miào yī twitched her lips, but she didn't dare disobey the order. She still came to the platform and released Yuán Shēng again.

Yuanshu, covered in blood, even marred the beauty of this place.

At this moment, Yuanshu Sheng was in a coma.

Fang Yu stretched out a finger and released a bit of true qi to awaken Yuan Shu Sheng.

Yuán shù's body trembled, his consciousness returning. However, due to the severity of his injuries, he was unable to open his eyes.

"Dean Yuan, you should know the details, so I won't repeat them. I just want to ask you, who is that Emperor behind you Where does he come from, and why do you all listen to him" Fang Yu asked all the key questions at once.

Yuan Shusheng didn't speak.

But at this moment, his heart was filled with immense pain.

He yearned to prove his worth, to become a celestial king, yet he hadn't even touched the threshold, nor could he protect his own life.

His past dreams, achievements, all become insignificant, destined to vanish with his death.

Zhang Baihe died, Zong Taisui also died... Their plan was a complete failure.

Yuanshu's heart was filled with despair and regret.

If he had not agreed and resolutely refused to board that ship, refusing to participate in that plan, he would not have ended up in this predicament.

"Hey, don't just stay silent...Although you can choose not to speak, I think that Emperor didn't abandon you guys and run away without helping. I think it's understandable that you wouldn't want to keep his secrets. Whatever you have to say, just get it out. Maybe later on, I can beat up that Emperor and avenge you." Fang Yu continued.

Hearing this, Yuanshu's heart trembled.

Indeed, why would he still keep secrets for that damn emperor at this point

He was dying, of course he wanted Fang Yu dead, but he also wanted the Emperor who had dragged him down to die!

It would be best for both parties to perish together; that would be the best outcome for him!

"Emperor... Eternal Night... Plan." Yuan Shu said with difficulty.

"Eternal Night Plan What exactly does this plan entail" Fang Yu asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Control, control the Nanhuang…" Yuanshu said again.

"By controlling each region, they ultimately aim to control the Southern Desolation. But the question is, what do they want to do after controlling the Southern Desolation" Fang Yu asked again.

"No, I'm not sure... We cooperate with the Emperor, and he gives us benefits..." Yuanshu replied.

"What kind of benefits could possibly drag you, who are already at the pinnacle of martial arts in Wuzhou, down" Fang Yu questioned with confusion.

This question, like a knife blade, pierced Yuansheng's heart.

If it weren't for that scripture, he wouldn't have agreed to cooperate at all!

"He promised...to give me a scripture left by the Immortal King...to help me comprehend...the laws of the Dao," Yuan Shusheng replied.

"Fairy King scriptures, the laws of the Great Dao" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "This is indeed a great temptation, but you haven't even reached the Xuanxian level yet, how can you think about comprehending the laws of the Great Dao Are you overthinking it"

Yuanshu Sheng struggled to open his eyes, looking at Fang Yu.

His eyes held both resentment and regret.

Ultimately, the body became stiff and lifeless.

Fang Yu shook his head, first using his divine sense to search Yuan Shenshen's body up and down. He didn't find any storage pouches or storage rings, so he stood up and said, "This is a death without closure, truly pitiful. I'm a good person to the end, let me cremate you."

"Boom!"

< Fang Yu's heart moved, and a raging fire burst forth on Yuan Shu's body. >

Within two or three seconds, it turned to ashes.
