Immortal Path to Heaven Chapter 484

Chapter 484 - Change The Regime?

“Senior Fang, do you have something to say?” Ou Yangming turned around and cut to the chase with a cold look on his face. He even skipped the formalities.

Based on his relationship with the Fang family, he should not have acted so snobbishly, but he was displeased because Old Craftsman was alarmed.

“Master Ou, I have something to discuss with you indeed,” Fang Zhaoyang answered with a bitter face and lowered his voice before he continued, “Brother Jingshen would’ve come too if it’s possible.”

Ou Yangming looked at him in shock and finally faced the matter seriously.

They were at the Ni residence, but Ni Jingshen sent Fang Zhaoyang over instead of visiting himself, which was truly puzzling. Ou Yangming uttered after some thought, “Okay, please come with me.” He carried the birdcage back into his room and gently put it down.

Seeing as Big Yellow looked inside sneakily, Ou Yangming laughed and said, “Come in.”

Big Yellow barked excitedly and jumped hard to enter the room. Even so, it dared not look in the little bird’s direction.

Although it was not aware of the little bird’s identity as a powerhouse from the Phoenixes, it was alerted of danger by its bloodline inheritance. As such, it made the best choice.

“Senior Fang, Elder Ni should be here already. What is it that you wanted to tell me? Please go ahead,” Ou Yangming said in a deep voice.

“Heh, I’m ashamed that you could hear my voice, Lil’ Friend Ou.” Ni Jingsheng chuckled and flashed inside quietly.

Ou Yangming could tell from the Supreme Great Ancestor’s face that he hid from the servants and snuck in. What could make him act so cautiously?

“Lil’ Friend Ou, please excuse me for taking the liberty to come here,” Ni Jingshen expressed with a smile.

“Senior, you’re overthinking. With Elder Sister Ying around, I dare not act presumptuously,” Ou Yangming responded honestly with a smile.

Ni Jingshen was glad. “Yinghong is truly lucky to have your love and pity.”

Ou Yangming remarked seriously, “Elder Ni, you’re wrong.”

“Huh, what?” Ni Jingshen was surprised, and he sounded rather nervous.

“I’m lucky to have known Elder Sister Ying got her favor,” Ou Yangming noted sternly.

Ni Jingshen was startled for some time, and he could not help but smile bitterly. Nonetheless, he became more certain that Ou Yangming would not turn against him even if what he was going to say would enrage the young fellow. After all, Ou Yangming missed Yinghong so much.

“Elder Ni, Senior Fang, why have you come here together? Please let me know.” Ou Yangming urged them solemnly. He had brought up the matter a few times, hence he would lose his patience if they continued to make jokes.

Fang Zhaoyang and Ni Jingshen exchanged glances and nodded.

“Uhm, Lil’ Friend Ou, now that you’ve subdued two spirit beasts—one each from the Beasts and the Birds—what do you plan to do next?” Ni Jingshen asked in a sonorous tone.

Ou Yangming answered without any hesitation, “If nothing goes wrong, I’d like to make a trip to Canghai County. I heard the Aquatics have begun to rage over there. If that’s the case, it’ll be best to settle it as soon as possible to save troubles.”

Among the Humans’ eight counties, Canghai and Pinghai were the only ones that were still suffering a disaster. Nevertheless, Canghai County was where the Aquatics attacked, thus Ou Yangming would naturally head there if he wanted to end the disturbance.

Ni Jingshen and Fang Zhaoyang looked at each other strangely.

The disasters in the eight counties were considered a catastrophe for the Humans as a whole, causing huge casualties each time they occurred. Even if every country had its specialty, they must pay certain prices to end the disasters.

However, Ou Yangming sounded like he regarded the Humans’ catastrophe as nothing. It was as though he could effortlessly wipe off the Aquatics and put the world in order if he went to Canghai County.

If someone else had said that, the two Supreme Great Ancestors would immediately fall out with that person.

When they looked at Big Yellow and thought about the goshawk outside the room, as well as Multi-armed King Kong, which was far away and had not returned, they felt extremely powerless from the bottom of their hearts.

Yes, Ou Yangming had unknowingly gathered incredible forces. It seemed like he really did not need to care much about the disaster from the Aquatics.

In actuality, the great ancestors did not know Ou Yangming himself was capable enough to settle the disaster. Moreover, the little red bird in the cage was his greatest trump card.

The Phoenixes were not the king of the Aquatics, but it would not be a problem for them to catch small fishes to taste them.

Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows and questioned, “Do you have any wise ideas?”

Ni Jingshen looked like he had just woken up from a dream. “We dare not claim that we have wise ideas, but we do have something to say, and we hope you’ll consider it, Lil’ Friend Ou.”

“Elder Ni, please,” Ou Yangming replied to him with a smile.

“Lil’ Friend Ou, given the forces you have right now, you’re formidable enough to resist the imperial family, am I right?” Ni Jingshen had a fierce look in his eyes when he spoke.

Ou Yangming was moved, and he thought, ‘I can do more than resist them. If I happen to have a conflict against them and even fight them in their secret realm, I can kill all of them.’

The imperial family was notably powerful, but their only powerhouse that surpassed the Extreme Grade was Wu Yuanwei, who stayed in the secret realm and dared not anyhow leave the place. Based on the forces Ou Yangming had at the moment, he could eradicate the imperial family without the little bird’s help.

Even so, he did not answer the great ancestor directly. Instead, he stated, “The imperial family is being watched over by the Humans’ greatest powerhouse, and they also have a secret realm. On the other hand, I have a weak foundation, so I might not necessarily triumph over them.”

His response was false, but it sounded relatively sincere to Ni Jingshen and Fang Zhaoyang.

The imperial family’s mightiness was accumulated over a millennium. Even though Ou Yangming rose fast, nobody would believe that he could easily suppress the imperial family.

Ni Jingshen nodded and commented, “Lil’ Friend Ou, you’re right. Even if you manage to kill the imperial family’s number one powerhouse, they’ll ask powerhouses from the upper realm to descend into our world. If that happens, we’ll be doomed.”

“Pfft…” The little bird suddenly made a strange noise in the birdcage.

Fang Zhaoyang and Ni Jingshen looked at it at the same time and were surprised.

Ou Yangming warned the little bird with his eyes and quickly expressed, “Yes, the imperial family’s strength is unpredictable. That said, there’s something I don’t understand—even if they’re mighty, what does it have to do with me?”

Ni Jingshen’s eyes lit up right away. He asked softly, “Lil’ Friend Ou, do you not have any idea?”

“What idea?” Ou Yangming widened his eyes and raised another question slowly.

The elder was hesitant for a brief moment, but he finally could not hold it in anymore, so he answered, “Changing the regime!”

Ni Jingshen had been trying to be discreet, hence he was finally relieved after he revealed it. Besides, since the elder disclosed it in the end, it was like a shot arrow, which could not be taken back anymore.

Fang Zhaoyang nodded hard and agreed with him. “The Wu family has dominated for more than a millennium, so it’s time for a change.”

Ou Yangming had somewhat seen this coming, but he was still taken aback when he heard their suggestion.

He looked at them with bright eyes and asked, “Gentlemen, are you kidding me?”

Ni Jingshen could not help but laugh. “Lil’ Friend Ou, do you think we’ll joke about this?”

Ou Yangming frowned. When he noticed the eager looks on their faces, he could not help but mumble to himself, ‘What the hell are they up to?’

“Lil’ Friend Ou, don’t worry. As long as we can defeat the imperial family, their reinforcements from the upper realm won’t come here for sure!” Ni Jingshen added as if he could tell Ou Yangming’s concern.

“What?” Ou Yangming was dumbfounded.

Fang Zhaoyang explained mysteriously, “The imperial family has someone to rely on in the upper realm, but so do we!”

Ou Yangming fixed his gaze on them for some time and sighed. “Gentlemen, the Humans’ disaster isn’t completely over yet, so don’t you think you’re going overboard by bringing this up?”

Ni Jingshen flushed, but he said at once, “Lil’ Friend Ou, we wouldn’t have done this back then, but the situation is different this time…” He glanced at Big Yellow and continued, “Lil’ Friend Ou, you emerged out of the blue, controlled two spirit beasts, and even killed a spirit insect. As long as you head to Canghai County, the Humans’ disaster will be over. Hehe, the Humans suffered heavy casualties during the disasters for generations, but the disaster is mild this time, so everyone is elated.”

“Elder Ni, many people are hurt in the city, so how is it mild?” Ou Yangming forced a smile.

“It’s true if you compare it with the past.” Ni Jingshen kept a straight face.

Fang Zhaoyang added momentum to the situation. “Master Ou, you might not intend to hurt the tiger, but the tiger plans to hurt you. Even if you don’t mean to replace the imperial family, you made great achievements this time and conquered two spirit beasts. Hehe, do you think the imperial family will relax?”

“Exactly. Even if they fear your forces and dare not resist you head-on, they’ll surely set something up to target you. If they invite you into the secret realm and powerhouses from the upper realm descend, you won’t be able to defend against them even if you have two spirit beasts.”

Ou Yangming was moved but before he could give any response, he heard the little bird’s mockery.

‘What’s so amazing about those from the upper realm? As long as I’m here, I’ll kill anyone that comes!’

Despite that, apart from Ou Yangming, nobody else could hear it.

Ou Yangming sighed helplessly. He suddenly realized that he made a huge mistake by letting the little bird stay beside him throughout the discussion.

‘This little fella will only give me more troubles in such a situation.’

While Ou Yangming did not intend to overturn the imperial family, he became more or less alert after the two Supreme Great Ancestors brought up the issue.
