CHAPTER 1539 WHAT'S HE PLOTTING?

No matter how Fang Hongshan looked at it, Jiang Ning was their roadblock.

On top of that, Jiang Ning's prowess was definitely a great threat to them!

If Jiang Ning didn't die, how could they get the pages he had on hand?

Fang Hongshan knew that without the manual, even if Fang Dong became the head of the Fang clan, it would be meaningless.

The reclusive clans existed purely to wait for the manual to appear. The eight reclusive clans had to combine forces in order to fully decode the map behind the manual pages and hunt that place down.

Only those with the manual had a say, and would have the right to speak once they found that place.

Otherwise, they would be like giving their hard work away to someone else for nothing.

"Jiang Ning..." Fang Dong narrowed his eyes. He was rather wary of this fellow who killed Fang Xia and made the Fang clan a mess.

He wasn't like Fang Xia, so he never underestimated others. He wasn't like Fang Wei either, so he never ignored other people's opinions and suggestions.

Fang Dong knew very well that if he wanted to succeed, he needed to rely on others for their support. It was impossible to achieve this all by himself.

"What do you think this Jiang Ning is plotting?" Fang Dong wanted to try to understand where Jiang Ning was coming from.

Once he knew what Jiang Ning was trying to do, he could then set a trap and kill off Jiang Ning!

But Fang Hongshan shook his head.

"I have no idea. I still can't tell what he wants," said Fang Hongshan. "If he wanted to take revenge, he could have just killed your father. He has more than enough pages of the manual and will have plenty of say. But he doesn't seem very interested in this manual either."

Otherwise, why did Jiang Ning allow the pages to be put on display?

He allowed any student of the academy in Donghai to view and meditate on the pages.

Fang Hongshan simply couldn't understand what Jiang Ning was trying to do and why he would do such a thing.

"But regardless of what he's trying to do, we only have one aim. We have to kill him and take the pages he has! That's all!" said Fang Hongshan very determinedly. “I have a feeling that Jiang Ning is going to be our greatest opponent. He will greatly affect our future plans, so he must be removed!"

Fang Dong frowned slightly.

Of course, he would remove anybody who got in his way. But it was also clear that this Jiang Ning was no simple obstacle.

Even after the best of the eight reclusive clans joined hands, they didn't get their way in Donghai. Fang Dong wasn't stupid. He knew that it would definitely be very difficult to deal with Jiang Ning.

"Elder Hongshan, are you confident of getting rid of Jiang Ning?" asked Fang Dong after thinking through it for a moment. "If you can get rid of him, then the position of the top elder in the Fang clan is yours."

The two of them looked at one another and they could see what each other was scheming.

After a short moment of silence, Fang Hongshan nodded. "It's a deal!"

Fang Dong left.

Fang Hongshan snapped his fingers and his subordinate came running in.

"I'm afraid Fang Wei doesn't dare to let anyone else know that he's back. Go make some rounds out there."

"Yes, Elder Hongshan!"

Fang Hongshan narrowed his eyes. "Fang Wei, I'm going to see how you handle this."

As for getting rid of Jiang Ning...

This wasn't an easy task. Fang Dong was clever in passing this task to Fang Hongshan, and even dangled the position of being the top elder as a carrot.

But Fang Dong had no idea that Fang Hongshan wasn't interested in just being an elder!

"I'm not stupid enough to just let you use me as a weapon!" Fang Hongshan scoffed.

Meanwhile.

In Donghai.

Jiang Ning didn't bother about those reclusive clan elders and even allowed them to walk about freely within the This belongs to : ©.
