CHAPTER 37: THE EVIL PLOT.

Inside the Jun aristocrat clan archipelago, the news of Jun Wu’s fame had spread to every corner, people gathered in twos and threes to discuss the sudden fame.

On a particular island surrounded by tall ancient trees, inside a magnificent building, three were discussing with solemn expressions on their faces.

"Elder Brother, how could this happen?" Jun Huang asked, looking at her brother, the clan master.

As a Jun, every woman was forbidden to marry out. They could only marry their husbands into the Jun aristocrat clan and take Jun’s name.

Therefore, most of the Jun’s descendants lived in the Jun archipelago and this made the thirst for power frightening.

With only two children both with average talent, Jun Huang would not allow the clan’s power to leave their faction.

This was the only way for her children to have an easy life in the clan.

The trash who they thought could be easily disposed of before they got rid of his father had miraculously recovered.

While they were thinking of how to handle Jun Wu’s sudden recovery, they received another shocking piece of news.

How could they keep calm?

Jun Qiqang could understand how his younger sister was feeling. Things had just gone from bad to worse and if those old fogies learned of the news.

Their previously curated plan might all go to waste. Apart from that, their firm grip on the clan’s resources might loosen.

And this cannot happen.

Jun Qiqang turned and looked at the last person in the room– Jun Tan An. "What do you think?"

With Jun Wu no longer a retarded fool, they needed to handle the situation carefully. The clan might be filled with internal strife but killing fellow clansmen was a great taboo that must not be crossed.

Jun Tan An’s viper-like eyes squinted. He tapped his armrest, looked at Jun Qiqang, and responded.

"The only thing we can do right now is to get rid of him before he is allowed to return to meet the supreme elders."

His voice was cold, detached from any emotion.

Jun Qiqang creased his brow but Jun Huang nodded and added.

"Elder Tan An is right. We must dispose of him quickly. With such talent, if he is allowed to return to the clan. All our children can forget their lavish lifestyle." Her gaze moved from her elder brother to Elder Tan An.

"Do you think it is as easy as that?" Jun Qiqang shook his head.

As the clan master, he was privy to many secrets unknown to ordinary elders of the clan.

"Of course, it wouldn’t be easy. But we must do it." Elder Tan An responded, his voice laced with cold sharp determination.

"Our two factions had already burned the bridge against his father. Now that his father is not at home looking for a cure for his son. This is the best time to act. Else..." His voice trailed off but Jun Qiqang and Jun Huang knew the implication.

Jun Wu’s father, Jun Chang, had been passive all these years because of his son’s sickness. But now that his son had miraculously recovered, they could all imagine his action against them.

Thus, this was the best time to nip the bud while it was still young.

Of course, Jun Qiqang was aware of all these but he was careful of the watchful eyes of the supreme elders.

They might be behind closed doors all day but they were aware of everything happening in the clan.

After thinking for a moment, he decided. "Elder Tan An, you will be responsible for this job. Make sure the boy does not return to the clan." He paused to arrange his thoughts.

"But don’t act immediately, let’s wait for how the Gong clan reacts to this news. If they show any move of attacking him, you can support them from the shadows."

Elder Tan An had an evil smile creep up his face. He grinned and nodded.

"Clan Master, you can rest assured. Everything will be done without leaving a trace."

Listening to the plan, Jun Huang could finally breathe a sigh of relief. A smile tugged at the corner of her lips as she imagined Jun Wu’s death.

Jun Qiqang however did not share their thoughts.

’18 years old Grade 1 Array Formation Master!? How did he do it?’ He thought deeply.

Ever since Jun Wu was born, he had been keeping an eye on him. With Jun’s condition, there was no way he would learn Array Formation.

’Did he learn when he recovered?’

’Impossible!’ He denied the thought immediately.

Jun Wu’s recovery was barely over a month. How could anyone become an Array Formation Master in a month?

Compared to Jun Wu’s death, the reason behind him becoming a Grade 1 Array Formation Master was more important and he would have to take it to his father.

Inside the Gong aristocrat clan mansion, the clan master and the elders were having an urgent meeting.

"We need to act immediately." An elder said decisively.

"Agreed, we need to act immediately. If we allow the Jun clan to continue to develop, it is only a matter of time before our clan is suppressed completely." A female elder added.

Although they were weaker than the Jun aristocrat clan, they were not yet suppressed completely.

But at the rate at which the Jun clan produced many terrifying talents, it was only a matter of time before the Soaring Cloud Region took the Jun clan’s name.

Seated on the main seat, the Gong clan master– a woman with a commanding presence– stared at the elders with an unreadable expression.

Under her rule, the Gong clan had managed to gain many advantages against the Jun clan.

But the sudden appearance of a young talented Grade 1 Array Master had disrupted her plan.

With a cold expression, she declared.

"Send our spies to kill him immediately. They have a week to complete the mission."

"Yes, Clan Master." A thin old man responded and vanished from the room.

If the Jun clan thought, they could develop such a rare talent under their watch.

They were wrong.
