Chapter 16: Codename [Night Demon]

Chapter 16: Codename [Night Demon]

Fang Che earnestly memorized.

It had to be said that Mu Lin Yuan's Crystal Mind Platform was like a treasure trove to Fang Che.

After just one listen, he understood that although this cultivation method had no other use, it was invaluable for calming the mind, maintaining composure, and thinking calmly in any environment.

It was even better than the 'Ice Heart Technique' he had cultivated in his previous life.

Since this was the case, he had to seize this opportunity.

Next, Hou Fang imparted the 'Thirteen Movements of the Divine Ape Heart Extraction'.

Qian San Jiang, on the other hand, taught a set of the 'Bone Transformation Art'.

"In the martial world, danger lurks everywhere. This cultivation method, when mastered, allows one to freely change their physical form and appearance, even disguising their bone age. There are seven realms in total, and I've only reached the second. You should cultivate diligently, as this is a true life-saving technique for those in the martial world."

Fang Che was already aware of this, even without Qian San Jiang's explanation.

Therefore, he held no reservations about this cultivation method and was determined to cultivate the 'Bone Transformation Art' to the seventh realm as soon as he had the opportunity.

This was indeed a life-saving technique.

Looking at Qian San Jiang, Fang Che suddenly realized that his current appearance might not be his true one.

This guy must have used this cultivation method countless times to escape the pursuit of the Guardian, right? Humph, a slippery fish!

Finally, after two full hours, the six of them emerged from the secret chamber.

They were in a secluded village.

"The Guardian is about to arrive."

Yin Shen Gong looked at the village they had just exited, his face cold. "Every time the Sect's Doctrine is imparted, the Heavenly Centipede God's consciousness descends, and the Guardian can track us by following the energy trail. I've reported this to the Sect Leader numerous times, but it's never been taken seriously."

"It's made us too passive!"

He drew his hand, and with a sudden wave, a sword beam shot out like thunder, piercing through the village.

In an instant, the small village of several dozen households was reduced to rubble!

The sword beam raged, leaving no one alive, young or old.

The stench of blood filled the air.

With a loud boom, the underground secret chamber where the Doctrine was imparted collapsed, and the trace of the Heavenly Centipede God's aura completely dissipated.

Yin Shen Gong touched the spatial ring on his hand, inside which was the statue of the Heavenly Centipede God.

"It should be safe now."

Mu Lin Yuan, Sun Yuan, and the others all looked relaxed. They were accustomed to such massacres that claimed hundreds of lives.

They were not surprised.

Fang Che's face was expressionless.

His right hand quietly clenched into a fist.

Hundreds of lives, innocent and unrelated, had been snuffed out in an instant! There was no reason for such a brutal end.

It was all because Yin Shen Gong wanted to erase their energy trail. But if erasing the trail didn't require killing them, why do it this way?

He could see a young woman with blood flowing from her seven orifices, cradling a one or two-year-old infant. Both mother and child had lost their lives.

The infant's face was deathly pale.

His eyes, still naive to the ways of the world, remained open.

He didn't understand why, having just arrived in this world and not yet learned to speak, he had to face death.

His clear eyes turned rigid like those of a dead fish.

Yin Shen Gong turned to look at Fang Che's unreadable face.

"Fang Che, you could have eliminated their traces without killing them."

Fang Che took a breath and said, "You could have eliminated their traces without killing them."

His current appearance was that of a young man brimming with vitality, and his indignation was understandable. So, he spoke without concern for Yin Shen Gong's opinion.

This was in line with his current persona.

He used this statement to voice his indignation.

Yin Shen Gong said coldly, "There's always a chance of failure. And doing this was also to show the Guardian, so don't track us, or more people will die!"

"We don't care how many die, but the Guardian does."

"Foolish righteousness! Haha... The narrow-minded Guardian."

Yin Shen Gong looked at Fang Che and said, "You're young, and you've just undergone the Doctrine, so your words are understandable. But if you still say this after some tempering, I'll kill you!"

"Because our Unity Sect faces the entire world, and any carelessness could lead to all six of us perishing."

"We didn't see anyone when we entered, but who's to say someone didn't peek through the door and see our appearance? And this appearance might be noticed by the Guardian on a day we're careless, leading to our demise without explanation."

"If there's even a chance of exposure, I won't let it slide."

Yin Shen Gong smiled, but his eyes were icy as he looked at Fang Che. "I ask you, whose life is most important in this world?"

"Whose life is most important?" Fang Che's expression turned solemn.

Yin Shen Gong said, "Lift your head and look into my eyes!"

Fang Che raised his head, meeting a pair of cold, ruthless eyes.

Eyes like those of a vulture.

Yin Shen Gong said, "In this world, my life is most important! Me! Do you understand?"

Fang Che nodded. "Yes, in this world, my life is most important! Without my life, everything is lost!"

"A promising youth!"

Yin Shen Gong turned and walked away. "Remember this!"

Sun Yuan led Fang Che, and they moved at an incredible speed, instantly reaching the top of a small hill.

Just then, a distant, mournful howl of rage echoed from the direction of the small village.

"The Guardian's people have arrived."

Yin Shen Gong mocked, "Too late, it seems."

He turned to Fang Che. "I heard you want the Blood Ignition Technique?"

"Yes."

Yin Shen Gong walked with his hands behind his back. "If you rank first in the Southeast Path and enter the Guardian Martial Academy, I'll give you 500 Contribution Points and exempt you from learning the Blood Ignition Technique."

Sun Yuan said, "Thank you, Sect Leader."

"Thank you for the Sect Leader's grace."

"Well, now that you've joined the Sect, you're one of us. You can't just appear with your real name, so you need a codename.

The Seal God Palace spoke, "What codename do you wish to have?"

Fang Che lowered his head, suppressing the rage brewing within him. He used the newly learned Quintessence Mind Platform technique to calm the murderous intent in his chest, maintaining a clear mind.

"I haven't thought about it," he replied.

The Seal God Palace spoke indifferently, "Since you haven't thought about it, from now on, your codename will be Night Demon."

As these words were spoken, Sun Yuan, Mu Lin Yuan, and the others' faces showed a hint of strangeness.

"Night Demon?"

Fang Che muttered to himself.

"Yes, Night Demon."

The Seal God Palace said, "I hope you understand that being a demon is actually more liberating than being a person. You should carefully ponder the meaning of the word 'demon'. When you truly comprehend it, you will be worthy of this name."

With a swift turn, he was already dozens of zhang away, and his indifferent voice carried, "Only when you rank first and obtain the Blood Ignition Technique can you use the name Night Demon. Before then, you are unworthy. If you don't rank first, you are also unworthy of this name."

The voice faded.

The Seal God Palace had vanished without a trace.

Mu Lin Yuan, Hou Fang, Qian San Jiang, and the others had also disappeared at some point, unnoticed.

On the mountaintop, only Sun Yuan and his disciple Fang Che remained.

Sun Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He smiled and said, "This time, you've really hit the jackpot. Not only did you successfully undergo the doctrine baptism and receive three cultivation techniques, but more importantly, you've gained the approval of the Sect Leader and the three Offering Hall Elders. This will greatly benefit your future path."

Fang Che heaved a heavy sigh and said, "Master, do you have nothing to say about the indiscriminate killing of innocents?"

Sun Yuan paused for a moment, then spoke calmly, "I know what you're thinking. When I was young, I thought the same way as you. But now, I don't feel that there's anything wrong with it."

"You should see through the life and death of the jianghu. As long as you don't want to lie there and rot like those corpses, you'll eventually get used to it."

Sun Yuan patted Fang Che's shoulder, "This is normal! Very normal! It happens all the time!"

Fang Che nodded.

He lowered his head.

His heart was roaring with anger.

[I will never get used to it!]

[You're all a bunch of demons! Monsters! Devils! It's no wonder your power is vast but you hide in the shadows, because you can't bear to face the light of day! Because you're not worthy of living under the sun!]

[One day, I will make you pay!]

[One day, I will uproot you all and ensure that no one in this world has to fear losing their lives without reason!]

[You want me to get used to it, but after seeing all this, I'm only more determined to eradicate you all!]

Fang Che turned around and gazed into the distance at the direction of the small village.

He remained silent.

I will avenge you all!

I definitely will!

Sun Yuan led Fang Che down the other side of the mountain, heading back towards the Fang Clan.

Fang Che remained silent for half the journey.

Finally, he asked, "Master, what cultivation level do the Sect Leader and the Grand Offering Hall Elder have?"

Sun Yuan smiled bitterly, "You can ask me this, but normally, you must never ask anyone else. This is a taboo! Even I can only tell you that they are higher, much higher."

Fang Che nodded, "I understand."

"Your performance today was actually quite impressive."

Sun Yuan knew Fang Che was feeling down and explained, "The Sect Leader is actually very pleased with you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taught you or given you the name Night Demon."

"Oh?"

"Was this your first time seeing someone killed?"

Sun Yuan smiled, "To witness such slaughter without changing your expression is already very satisfying, especially since you're only seventeen and haven't experienced any life-or-death struggles in the jianghu."

"This heart is already ruthless enough."

"Many who undergo the doctrine baptism for the first time vomit, get scared, or even draw their swords to fight us... Hehe..."

"So, the Sect Leader is very pleased with your performance."

Sun Yuan was clearly relieved.

Fang Che said, "What about those who drew their swords to fight?"

"No punishment, because they will soon become like the Sect Leader and the others."

Sun Yuan hinted, "They will soon understand the truth that their own lives are more important than the lives of everyone else in the world."

Fang Che suddenly felt a wave of nausea.

The truth?

"Ruthless, calm, a good seedling of the Unity Sect." Sun Yuan laughed heartily.

Fang Che also laughed, seemingly having recovered his mood completely.

But in his heart, he felt it was absurd.

In my past life, I experienced bloodier storms and seas of corpses, even more than you.

What's wrong with being calm?

This understanding is actually very beneficial for my long-term infiltration!

The two walked along the road leading to the Fang Clan.

Sun Yuan was already considering leaving.

After all, there was nothing more to teach, and he had also obtained many cultivation techniques, enough for his disciple to practice.

Sun Yuan felt it was time to leave, to seek out some heavenly materials and treasures, then return after ten or so days to check on his disciple's progress.

No, it shouldn't be progress, but pace.

Fang Che, on the other hand, was filled with disgust towards the Unity Sect. He didn't want to see them again, hoping they would leave soon and stay out of his sight.

It was so uncomfortable to see them, he might as well leave.

Just as the two were harboring these thoughts...

Suddenly.

Bang...

A scream.

Beside the brothel, a petite figure fell from the building, landing not far from Fang Che, bleeding from her seven apertures.

She let out a wail, spraying blood from her mouth.

It was a young girl, unconscious, lying not far from Fang Che.

...
