"Plotting too cleverly, it backfired and cost him his life," this phrase fits the case of this King Dan most aptly.
If he had answered honestly, he might have lived a bit longer, though probably just a bit...
However, King Dan was somewhat fortunate. Since Fang Yuan was busy with his cultivation, he didn't torture him much; he simply chopped him up a few times and then took his life.
"These seven knives are quite good," Fang Yuan said, clearly pleased with the gift from King Dan. The knives could turn faith power into energy, making them perfect weapons for his yin god.
The only flaw was that the knives were like a fence-sitter. Whichever side had stronger faith power, the knives would immediately switch allegiance without hesitation.
Thinking about it, they were very much like King Dan himself, who would recognize whoever was stronger as their master. It was truly a case of the tool resembling its master.
Fang Yuan put the seven knives into his storage bag and sat down cross-legged again to continue his unfinished cultivation.
Once again, a grand celestial phenomenon appeared, and he resumed waiting for the next group of fateful individuals.
Not long after, two people appeared near Huagai Mountain. One was an old man with a face full of wrinkles, wearing a conical hat and a raincoat, hunched over.
He looked like a fisherman, but in fact, his identity was highly significant—he was a prince of the Qu Yue Kingdom!
Yuan Minghui, more than a hundred years ago, had already reached the peak of the Seven Realms, a top-level expert. Over the years, he had been in seclusion, causing nearby countries to be anxious, speculating that he had probably become a grandmaster.
Next to him was a beautiful woman, Yuan Minghui's daughter: Yuan Ling.
Compared to Yuan Minghui, Yuan Ling wasn't as famous, but she was said to have awakened a strong martial talent, which made her one of the leaders of the Qu Yue Kingdom.
The two were immediately drawn to the terrifying celestial phenomenon, with Yuan Minghui speaking first: "Focus!"
A layer of dark-colored light appeared, enveloping the two of them, isolating them from the pervasive murderous aura in the surrounding atmosphere.
"This is terrifying celestial phenomenon!" Yuan Ling exclaimed, shaken.
"This is someone condensing their Dao Body... Without a doubt, the person is a Grandmaster!" Yuan Minghui explained with a serious expression, "And not just any ordinary Grandmaster!"
"However, it's strange. Condensing the Dao Body is when a Grandmaster is at their weakest. Why is the other party acting so recklessly? Don't they fear being found and killed..."
"Father, should we go take a look?" Yuan Ling asked, a little excited.
Yuan Minghui shook his head: "No, this is too strange. Anyone who becomes a Grandmaster is no good person. There must be something fishy about this, perhaps a fake setup."
"But Father, if we can kill a Grandmaster..." Yuan Ling still wasn't fully convinced.
"...Then show off in front of Lord Ximon?" Yuan Minghui sneered: "Good daughter, do you really think Lord Ximon is a good person?"
"He gave us land in the Yan Kingdom, leaving none for himself. It seems generous, but it's just to make us obediently serve him. After all, his territory is far overseas, and he needs someone to run errands for him."
"If his allies come as well, things could change drastically."
"Even just looking from afar..." Yuan Ling was still a bit reluctant.
"No." Yuan Minghui firmly shook his head. "If you go to observe the other party, they might already have noticed you. Our Qu Yue Kingdom isn't strong in this alliance. We must keep a low profile."
Yuan Minghui sighed; this was the helplessness of a small country. Without enough Grandmasters to back them, they couldn't even hold their heads up when walking outside.
"I understand," Yuan Ling finally relented, and the two decided to observe for the time being.
As time passed, more people arrived in the mountain range.
First came two tall men, one with a longsword at his waist, the other wielding a copper hammer. They were the third and fourth leaders of the Reverse Scales Group: Lin Yuefeng and Wu Cheng.
The Reverse Scales Group was a large mercenary group operating in the southeastern countries of Yan, almost as powerful as a small country. They often participated in wars between nations, profiting greatly from the conflict.
Next came a pale-skinned middle-aged man and a beautiful woman. Both had high noses and blue eyes.
The man was named Andero, and the woman was named Yeliena.
They came from the Ice Plains. Even though the Ice Plains was far to the north of the Yan Kingdom, they had sent two martial artists to participate in the invasion.
The celestial phenomenon covering the entire Huagai Mountain made everyone's thoughts shift in different directions.
Some, like Yuan Minghui, decided to act cautiously, while others were eager to investigate further.
But before anyone could act, a booming voice reverberated through the heavens and earth: "May I ask... which fellow Daoist is here condensing their Dao Body?"
It was Ximon's voice, his Yan language much rougher than that of Jin Dahuan, indicating that he had just recently learned it.
At that moment, this Grandmaster who had come across the sea had also arrived. He was floating high in the sky, looking suspiciously at Huagai Mountain from a distance.
Ximon did not rashly approach but remained on the outskirts, observing. As a Grandmaster, he naturally understood the basics of condensing a Dao Body, and the current situation both puzzled and alarmed him.
After some thought, Ximon refrained from advancing immediately.
There was no need to... he had already seen that most of his allies had arrived, so he preferred to wait until everyone had gathered before taking action, ensuring better security.
Ximon was not the type to act recklessly. Especially now that he was alone in a foreign land, he needed to be extra cautious.
If a team effort could be made, he wouldn't foolishly single-handedly confront someone, even if he was a Grandmaster.
A moment later, at the foot of Huagai Mountain, all the invaders had gathered.
"Is everyone here?" Ximon asked.
"Not yet," said Lin Yuefeng, the third leader of the Reverse Scales Group. "The Black Mountain Man from the Sang Kingdom hasn't arrived."
"And also Jin Dahuan from Baekje," added Wu Cheng, the fourth leader.

"The Black Mountain Man is the initiator of this operation, and Jin Dahuan is from Mingchangzhou, the closest to this Qingyezhou. These two should have been the first to arrive," Yeliena, the beautiful woman, sneered. "Looks like there's something wrong..."
