Chapter 12484

What this person is eyeing is naturally not just two million Dao resources.

Essentially, this is a test of power.

As the next Grand Steward of Tianjun who will replace Liu Aozhi, Master Fang needs to use today's trial to test the attitudes of all parties.

However, being forced to show himself now indicates that the situation is clearly out of his control.

Cao Mang chuckled and curled his lip: "Fang Wu? We haven't even looked for you yet, and you've already jumped out here?"

"..."

Master Fang's face darkened. His surname was Fang and his given name was Wuye, but Cao Mang had changed his name.

However, Cao Mang, as the head of a top-tier aristocratic family, had far more resources than the Fang family, so it was normal for him not to take him seriously.

Aside from his title as the strongest five-zhang-tall Dharma Avatar master, in every other aspect, he was truly no match for Cao Mang.

Fang Wuye glanced at Liu Aozhi, who stood calmly to the side.

He knew that Cao Mang had always looked down on him, but similarly, Cao Mang had always looked down on Liu Aozhi.

Why are you now siding with Liu Aozhi, bringing the Supervisory Council with you?

He didn't look at Lin Yi even once from beginning to end.

The so-called "Emperor of the End" was nothing more than a commoner who had gotten a chance to stir up trouble by chance, and was not worth mentioning at all.

Ultimately, what kind of status can a mere six-zhang-tall Dharma Avatar master possibly have?
If your fist isn't big enough, no matter how fiercely you struggle, in the end you'll only be doing the work for someone else.

Even if the momentum of the final meeting is at its peak, when the time comes, it can be slaughtered at will.

Do you really think the Heavenly Palace can't do anything to you?
The pigs weren't fat enough for the New Year.

Master Fang said in a deep voice, "My wife was deceived and dragged into this matter without knowing it. It is my fault for not disciplining her properly. I will take her back today to discipline her properly. I would appreciate your help."

Cao Mang looked at him like he was an idiot: "I just said that the next family to be investigated is your Fang family. You can't even protect yourselves, and you still want to take them back to discipline them?"

"Considering we both come from prestigious families, I'll trouble myself to discipline them for you."

Everyone smiled knowingly at the man.

"Cao Mang, don't go too far!"

Master Fang's face darkened, and his terrifying aura immediately poured out, causing the atmosphere to change instantly and making everyone in the room change color.

The strongest five-zhang Dharma form, this is no joke.

Cao Mang was not afraid at all: "I may have gone too far, but what can you do about it? Fight me?"

The other Heavenly Palace bigwigs were in high spirits, all showing expressions of enjoying the spectacle.

Master Fang's expression froze.

In a one-on-one situation, he was absolutely confident of defeating Cao Mang.

But this isn't a one-on-one thing at all!
At least for now, he is not the Grand Administrator of Tianjun, but the other party represents the Tiangong Supervisory Council. If he dares to take action in public, it would be no different from open rebellion.

If it really comes to that, he and the entire Fang family will be doomed.

That's exactly what they've been waiting for.

Fang Wuye suppressed his anger and turned to Liu Aozhi: "Steward Liu, there was a big misunderstanding today. I am willing to apologize and, for the sake of our past as colleagues, I beg you to give me face and let me take the person back."

Liu Aozhi smiled slightly: "You don't have that much influence."

One sentence made his face freeze.

The onlookers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Normally, even if there are conflicts between powerful families, they will still save face for each other, especially in public.

Ultimately, they are all from the same social class.

It's truly rare to see someone so openly slapped in the face like this, especially with one instance after another.

The five sages of the aristocratic families have designated him as the next governor of Tianjun. Is he really that shameful?

Lin Yi remained calm and composed, observing everything with detached indifference.

While the presence of Cao Mang and his associates was undoubtedly the result of his behind-the-scenes maneuvering, in essence, it was a concentrated outbreak of internal conflicts within the Tianjun aristocratic families.

The conflict had been brewing for a long time, and today's incident was merely the fuse that ignited it.

Ultimately, the Tianjun aristocratic families have been entrenched in Tianjun for too long. The pot is only so big; if you take a bigger bite, I'll take a smaller bite. It's only a matter of time before they split up.

"Alright, alright, I'll remember this favor."

Master Fang turned and left immediately, no longer caring about Su Enxi who was being held captive.

Is this over?

Everyone felt a pang of regret.

Today's show was spectacular, but ending it like this feels rather anticlimactic.

They were also hoping that after Master Fang made his appearance, he could have a good showdown with Liu Aozhi and his gang of big shots. After all, such a high-level power struggle in public is truly rare.

However, everyone could understand why Master Fang made this choice.

The opposing force was too strong. Even if he was the designated successor to the position of Grand Administrator of Tianjun, he was still outnumbered and outmatched by these powerful figures.

Forcing a head-on confrontation will only result in losses.

It's better to swallow this anger first and then devise a plan gradually.

As long as Master Fang himself is still alive, his wife Su Enxi cannot possibly be harmed.

Cao Mang and his men greeted Lin Yi, then escorted Meng Beijun and Su Enxi away.

As for Liu Aozhi, he didn't say much to Lin Yi in public, only nodded in acknowledgment, and then left with his head held high.

Lin Yi then returned to the Termination Society headquarters.

At the same time, the World Will was quietly released to monitor the movements of Fifth Master Fang.

As expected, this person did not give up and went directly to the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Clan.

"Seek help from the Five Sages of the Aristocratic Families?"

Lin Yi shook his head.

The Five Sages of the Aristocratic Families were indeed involved in this incident, but they were unwilling to cause any further trouble before the quota for the Three-Zhang Dharma Image was finalized.

Master Fang's attempt to get the Five Saints of the aristocratic family to stand up for him was utterly delusional.

The five sages of the aristocratic families treated him as a pawn, throwing him out to test the waters. That would be more like it.

After a stick of incense.

Fang Wuye emerged from the Heavenly Palace Study without hesitation, unleashing his full aura as he headed straight for the Termination Society headquarters.

The entire Tianjun was shaken.

Countless thoughts immediately swirled in the air above the final meeting, keeping a close eye on every slight movement.

After all, he was the strongest five-zhang-tall Dharma Avatar master.

Now that this incident has happened, and they've come to the Termination Committee in such a menacing manner, it's clear there's going to be a good show to watch.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Fifth Master Fang barged directly into the headquarters of the Termination Society.

At the same time, the headquarters was enveloped by an invisible force, isolating it from all prying eyes.

"The Emperor of the End?"

Master Fang looked down at him with a disdainful expression: "I'll be frank, I must get my revenge today, and I've already received the approval of the Five Saints."

"If you know what's good for you, go to the Heavenly Palace now, publicly admit your mistake, and kowtow to me in apology."

"If you don't know what's good for you, I'll personally dismantle the Termination Council today. As for you, the so-called Emperor of Termination, there's no need for you to continue existing."

As he spoke, he looked around.

He had to personally reclaim the face he had just lost from the Termination Society.

What he was most worried about wasn't Lin Yi himself, but rather the entity hidden behind the Termination Council—a tacit understanding he had reached with the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Families. (End of Chapter)
