Chapter 144: Lord Nine? [Extra Chapter for the Rain Alliance Leader]

Xiang Xinghe heaved a sigh.

With a complex gaze, he looked at Fang Che and said in a deep voice, "Fang Che, a selfless heart brings peace to the world. If you have a clear conscience, you'll reap the benefits. But if you're truly a traitor, no one can help you. You must understand this!"

During the interrogation, he had been the sternest.

But now, he was also the most regretful.

Fang Che: "Thank you, Teacher Xiang. Please don't take offense at my earlier actions."

Xiang Xinghe nodded and turned to leave.

Zhao Shanhe closed the secret chamber.

He set up a barrier.

Then, he took out two jade pendants from his chest and said calmly, "Fang Che, it's not too late to regret and turn back now."

Fang Che replied indifferently, "I haven't taken the wrong path, so there's no question of turning back or not."

A smile appeared on Zhao Shanhe's lips as he said, "The Heart-Testing Path is right here. Use your soul power to touch the jade pendants, and the path will open for you. If you're not afraid, come."

Zhao Shanhe placed the two jade pendants on the table and stepped back.

Fang Che asked indifferently, "What's there to be afraid of?"

He walked forward, holding one pendant in each hand, and closed his eyes. He activated the Crystal Clear Spirit Platform Technique and the Boundless Truth Sutra, mobilizing his divine perception and the power of the jade pendants.

In an instant, his divine perception wavered, and he felt as if he were in a dream.

At that moment, a smile appeared in Zhao Shanhe's eyes as he watched Fang Che's expression turn blank. Zhao Shanhe's body flickered, and he too left the secret chamber.

Then, he hid nearby, setting up soundproof barriers, safety barriers, and divine perception control techniques to seal off the secret chamber completely.

Fang Che felt his body lighten, and his divine soul left his body, entering another space.

This space was filled with white mist, and with each breath, it seemed to bring benefits to the divine soul.

It seemed to be an excellent cultivation place.

Was this the Heart-Testing Path?

Fang Che didn't know; he hadn't walked this path in his previous life either.

He had no idea what the Heart-Testing Path looked like.

But as his divine soul drifted in this space, he felt incredibly comfortable and relaxed, and his divine perception visibly strengthened.

Fang Che was bewildered.

Was this the Heart-Testing Path?

Wasn't this a huge benefit?

Just then, the clouds in front of him rolled, and another soul body appeared, dressed in white. As he walked by, the clouds naturally parted, revealing a smiling figure.

This person had a tall and slender figure, with a handsome and elegant demeanor. His face was calm and composed, and every movement exuded a sense of freedom and detachment, as if he held the world in his hands.

With a flip of his hand, it was like creating rain, and with a wave, it was like summoning clouds.

His eyes were deep, as if containing countless starry rivers, and he seemed to see through everything.

Fang Che had never met such a person in his two lifetimes.

Who was this person?

Fang Che was stunned.

The Heart-Testing Path, but why is there another person here?

The white-clad man saw the confusion on Fang Che's face and couldn't help but smile. He said warmly, "Don't understand?"

Fang Che nodded honestly, "I don't understand."

"It's alright. All your confusion will be cleared up here, including my own. Here, everything will become clear."

The white-clad man waved his hand gently, and amidst the rolling clouds, a pavilion appeared. He said, "Please, come in."

Fang Che couldn't help but ask, "May I ask who you are? Is this the Heart-Testing Path?"

The white-clad man smiled and led the way, walking straight ahead. He spoke calmly, "This is not the Heart-Testing Path, and you won't be allowed to walk it either."

Not the Heart-Testing Path?

Then what's with all this fuss? I almost peed my pants, and this is it?

Fang Che was utterly confused, "Then what's going on? Where is the Heart-Testing Path? Seeing your demeanor, you seem like a person of high status. Why are you inviting me for tea?"

The white-clad man walked slowly, and the white mist swirled around him. His white clothes fluttered as if he were walking on clouds. He said, "In this world, there are very few people worth me brewing tea for. But you, Fang Che, are definitely one of them! No matter when I invite you for tea, I'll be very happy, and I'll feel proud."

He finally reached the pavilion and sat down gently, gesturing to the seat opposite him, "Please, take a seat."

Fang Che sat down, feeling as if the chair were solid.

The table, teacup, teapot, and tea all seemed real.

It was all very strange.

The white-clad man began to brew tea, his movements graceful and unhurried. He gave Fang Che the impression that even if the world were to collapse at this moment, this person would remain calm and composed.

The aroma of tea slowly rose, and the white-clad man said, "Don't be surprised. Although the Heart-Testing Path is fake, everything here is real."

Fang Che was perplexed, "The Heart-Testing Path is fake?"

"It's impossible to use the Heart-Testing Path on you. I just wanted them to use the name of the Heart-Testing Path to create an opportunity to come here and have a chat with you. And by making a grand scene, more people will know about it, putting some pressure on the Divine Soul Palace."

"For you, the Divine Soul Palace must be more careful."

The white-clad man smiled faintly, "It's hard for us to talk, and we can't let others suspect. So..."

(End of Chapter)From the outside, it seems like you're here to suffer and be interrogated. But in reality, it's just a casual chat with me."

"Moreover, this is the most secretive place in the world."

The man in white smiled calmly, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup for Fang Che, "This is the true Divine Soul Tea! In the entire world, the annual production is only one pound and seven ounces. It's still somewhat useful for the divine soul. Please drink this cup to the full."

Fang Che picked up the cup and drank it in one go, feeling as if the tea fragrance had instantly permeated his entire being.

His entire divine soul, from the inside out, felt thoroughly cleansed, an indescribable comfort.

Moreover, the strength of his divine soul had suddenly increased significantly.

The man in white observed Fang Che's expression and revealed a satisfied smile, adding with a hint of regret, "There were other good things, like the Primordial Star Soul Pill, which would have been perfect with this tea, but I had to give it to you. Otherwise, it would have been discovered."

Fang Che sat up straight, speaking cautiously, "May I dare to ask... who are you?"

The man in white looked at his expression and couldn't help but laugh, "You've already guessed, haven't you?"

Fang Che's expression turned to shock, "Could it be... Lord Jian?"

The man in white laughed, pointing at Fang Che, "You're indeed not honest. You've guessed who I am, yet you deliberately said otherwise."

At this moment, Fang Che was genuinely shocked, his words stumbling, "Could it be... Lord Nine?!"

The man in white sighed, "You've guessed it."

Fang Che felt a thunderous jolt in his mind.

In an instant, he felt dizzy, with stars dancing before his eyes.

Lord Nine!

Dongfang Sansan!

The First Military Advisor of the Guardians.

Also the most formidable person among the Guardians!

Unexpectedly, he had appeared right before him.

But from the moment he entered, through the information he gathered and the several rounds of intellectual sparring that put him at a disadvantage, to the creation of this private space solely for secrecy...

And that aura of grace and elegance, like a gentle breeze and clear moonlight.

Fang Che was certain his guess was correct.

"I pay my respects to Lord Nine."

Fang Che bowed respectfully.

Respect was necessary.

The person before him was the one who had saved the continent from the brink of destruction, turning the tide and supporting the collapsing mansion.

A true savior of all!

Such a person deserved the utmost respect from everyone.

"There's no need for excessive courtesy. Compared to your sacrifices and dedication, I can only feel ashamed. In front of anyone else, I can hold my head high, but in front of you, I can't."

Dongfang Sansan sighed softly, speaking gently, "With no one above or below, alone and unaided, you faced the demons with your life, Fang Che. You are an extraordinary person."

Fang Che's nose suddenly feel a tingling sensation:"Lord Nine is too kind."

Dongfang Sansan smiled, "Not at all."

After a moment of thought, he asked softly with a hint of testing, "Your memory... has it recovered?"

Fang Che's mind trembled.

Why ask this?

Could he have guessed something?

Fang Che took a deep breath and said, "No, I've also decided that if I can't reach the Cloud Rank in this life, I'll just continue living as I am."

"That's good too."

Dongfang Sansan sighed.

He didn't continue with the memory topic, and Fang Che didn't ask further.

Both understood each other's intentions and remained silent.

"Currently, this space only has the two of us. And your true identity is known only to me under the heavens."

"So you can rest assured about any leaks."

"I understand."

Fang Che suddenly remembered, "Zhao Shanhe outside..."

Dongfang Sansan laughed, "He's one of my trusted aides. He only knows that I sent someone to host the Heart-Testing Path, not that I came personally. He should have played his part perfectly in this drama."

"I see."

Fang Che laughed, "This drama was well-acted. I was truly fooled."

"Hahaha."

Dongfang Sansan couldn't help but laugh.

"Since your message started spreading, and Huang Yifan found me to report, I've had a hunch that you're one of us."

Dongfang Sansan smiled, "And when Huang Yifan questioned you about your divine soul, he didn't think you were bad. So I dispelled that thought and told him you were definitely from the Demon Sect, no doubt about it."

Fang Che smiled bitterly.

So that's how it was.

No wonder Huang Yifan's attitude kept changing.

It turned out there were so many unexpected things.

"As your information increased, my attention to you grew. But until recently, after the Demon Lord's soul-splitting and the Blood Spirit Ginseng incident... I felt something was off. Then came the Unified Heart Sect branch incident, and it didn't stop there. The Ancient Jade incident emerged, and Bei Mingxin actually showed up!"

"It's too suspicious, too many incidents!"

"So I put aside many things to come and see you. Do you know why?"

Dongfang Sansan's expression turned serious.
