Without waiting for Sun to ask further, Ashbur gritted his teeth and revealed Boyce Beacher’s true identity. To ensure that Sun could fully understand, he also explained the grudges between them in the Heaven Realm: "Boyce Beacher’s grandfather was Master Claude, an Immortal King under Master Amos. Before my father made his teoric rise, he was the most prominent Immortal King in the Heaven Realm."
"Moreover, Master Howard and Master Gerald were brothers, and Master Gerald has had a longstanding grudge with Master Amos."
"Essentially, the whole issue boils down to competing factions in the Heaven Realm. Master Amos’s boss was Emperor Donahue, while Master Howard and Master Gerald have always followed Emperor Arctic. It is said that Emperor Donahue and Emperor Arctic once fought a secret battle over a Dao Fruit in the distant past."
Sun nodded discreetly, now having a rough understanding of the factions in the Heaven Realm. It was no surprise that at the level of Immortal Venerable and Emperor Venerable, their conflicts were not about personal likes and dislikes, but about the Battle of the Great Path.
Sun suddenly dared to ask, "Is this Boyce Beacher highly regarded by Master Claude?" Ashbur looked at him suspiciously before Sun scoffed, "I was just wondering if killing him might lead to unbearable consequences."
"Kill him?!" Ashbur exclaid, having never considered such a thing before. However, Sun’s words seed like opening Pandora’s box; a surge of impulsiveness welling up within Ashbur’s heart. Boyce Beacher had constantly been ddling from the shadows, attempting to sabotage Ashbur’s plans, and Ashbur harbored great hatred for him.
However, Ashbur was not like Sun, who had fought his way out with his own abilities, so he was capricious yet sowhat indecisive. He pondered for a while, "Wait a mont, I need to consult my father."
Sun confird another fact: Immortal Descendants can indeed communicate with the Heaven Realm at any ti. Now, Sun had two options: no matter what Ashbur’s inquiry yielded, he could eliminate Boyce Beacher first, potentially triggering a civil war within the Immortal Race between the forces of Master Claude and Master Joseph.
Alternatively, he could wait for Ashbur to consult and then infer Master Joseph’s character and his faction’s true stance towards Master Claude, before making a decision.
After so contemplation, Sun chose the latter. He doubted that the death of a grandson would truly enrage Master Claude enough to directly confront Master Joseph at this point in ti; it would be better to wait for a more secure opportunity.
However, half a day later, Ashbur excitedly ca to find Sun and said, "My father has spoken: Kill him!" Sun was taken aback—was it because Boyce Beacher had no face in front of Master Claude, or were Master Amos’s followers prepared for battle? How could they be so decisive?
But Sun felt that things could not be this simple. With the return of the Heavenly Palace, the Immortal Race faced significant external pressure and should not engage in civil war at this mont.
Ashbur was already impatient to vent his frustrations and told Sun, "But my father also warned that killing Boyce Beacher won’t be easy..."
Sun, of course, knew this—when the Immortal Descendants ca down for trials, their elders would have made sure to make thorough preparations. But how could Sun be an ordinary person? What others couldn’t do, Sun could!
However, Sun feigned concern for Ashbur and Master Joseph’s well-being, taking the initiative to inquire about the situation in the Heaven Realm for the first ti: "Elder Brother, if we really kill Boyce Beacher, will it have any adverse effects on your father? He won’t be blad by the Immortal Venerable, will he?"
Ashbur didn’t think too much and blurted out, "No, my father said that Master Amos is at a critical juncture, so he would definitely restrain his subordinates and not dare to start a war at this ti!"
Sun’s curiosity was piqued: a critical juncture?
Sun smiled, "Alright, leave this matter to ."
Six days later, Boyce Beacher was surrounded and killed near the Ula River, forty miles outside the capital of the Dragon Elephant Ancient Country. When Ashbur heard the news, he laughed uproariously, slapping Sun on the shoulder and sincerely saying, "Good brother! I promise to bring you wealth and fortune together with !"
