Chapter 201: Night Demon! Night Demon!
Chapter 201: Night Demon! Night Demon!
The true leader was Fang Che.
He himself was just a tool to maintain this team.
But Yu Zhongge was also clear about this, and he knew that this was the best way.
As they continued on this path, there were those who drifted away and those who gathered together, all responding to each other and helping each other at any time.
There was no way they would all be caught in one net.
In the future, when everyone had developed and gained their own reputations, if someone wanted to deal with Fang Che, they would have to consider the four of them and the four major families behind them.
If someone wanted to deal with all four of them, they would also have to consider the shadowy figure of Fang Che, the elusive killer god! Perfect!
So Yu Zhongge had no complaints about this "puppet leader" position.
He even relished it.
The next three days were like a break before the finals.
While the finals were being fought on stage, the eyes of all the spectators unconsciously drifted towards the White Cloud Martial Academy's stands.
There, a black-robed youth stood like a pillar of stability, his handsome features and graceful demeanor exuding calmness and elegance.
However, all the high-ranking members and students of the martial academy knew who he was.
This person, for the next four years, as long as there was a martial competition, he would be an obstacle that couldn't be avoided!
This year, he was only a first-year student, but his current strength was such that he could win the second-year finals with ease.
Next year, second year... and the year after that, third year...
With this thought, all the deans and leaders of the martial academies felt a sense of darkness—this first-year student would cast a shadow over all the geniuses under the heavens, and for the next four years, they would be suppressed and rubbed into the ground!
No one would be able to stand up to him!
After four years, it wouldn't just be the martial academy's rankings at stake; everyone was well aware that if this guy didn't meet an untimely end, he might become famous enough to shake the world in four years!
At the same time, the Guardian received a significant report.
"The Only Me Sect's Incubation Toads to Deity Program has produced two geniuses, one of whom is the granddaughter of the second deputy sect master, Yan Beihan. However, the most concerning is not this girl, but the Night Demon of the Unified Heart Sect! The Night Demon, acting alone, killed over 30,000 of his peers in the program and emerged as the champion, breaking the Only Me Sect's record of tens of thousands of years and ranking first!"
"This Night Demon is ruthless and merciless, killing without hesitation. Once he grows up, he will likely become a major threat to the Guardian. In the future, he may even have a chance to contend for the top spot on the Cloud's Arsenal Rankings!"
"The Night Demon is about 1.78 meters tall, with a square face and a full beard. It's suspected that this may not be his true appearance. It's said that this Night Demon has not only killed generals from his own sect but also many generals from the Only Me Sect's headquarters. This demon has a bright future and will pose a great threat in the future. It's recommended to eliminate him early to prevent future disasters!"
The Guardian's high-ranking members were in a meeting when someone presented this intelligence.
Dongfang San San presided over the meeting, while Duan Xiyang, Xue Fuxiao, and others were not present.
Only the heads of the various functional departments of the headquarters were there.
This was a work meeting, not a combat meeting, but Dongfang San San had to be there as the backbone.
At that moment, everyone's attention was drawn to this piece of intelligence.
All of them had worried expressions.
Night Demon!
Killing over 30,000 peers in one battle!
His methods were cruel and inhuman, killing anyone he saw.
If such a demon grew up, it would likely become a major disaster for the Guardian.
He was only a general-level now.
If he reached the emperor level, monarch level, or even higher in the future... he would probably become the most powerful weapon in the Demon Sect.
Duan Xiyang had already achieved fame and success, so he wouldn't easily take action. But the Night Demon, as a newly emerging force, was eager to show off, to charge forward, and to climb to the top.
So, what would they use to fight against the Guardian's mountain of bones and countless lives, with blood flowing like a river?
This was the Demon Sect's achievement.
Everyone suddenly realized the danger posed by this person.
"Young Master Jiu! This Night Demon cannot be left alive!"
"Young Master Jiu, this Night Demon must be eliminated as soon as possible, or once he grows stronger, he will become a disaster that will bring chaos to the world."
"..."
Over twenty high-ranking members spoke in unison.
The danger posed by the Night Demon was clear to anyone with eyes to see.
Dongfang San San held the intelligence, carefully examining it, his eyes and face filled with worry.
"Another genius has appeared in the Only Me Sect."
Dongfang San San sighed softly, "Even though he's only a general-level, it still adds a bit of heaviness to my heart."
He pointed to the intelligence, "This Night Demon will definitely become a major threat in the future. You're not wrong about that, but whether or not to take action and kill him now... your vision is still a bit shortsighted."
The people below were astonished, "Young Master Jiu, do you mean that even with such a demon, you're still considering bringing him over?"
Dongfang San San smiled bitterly, "He's already a demon who participated in the Incubation Toads to Deity Program, so there's absolutely no hope of bringing him over. But for us to take action and kill him is also a bit inappropriate."
He smiled and said, "Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. In our fight against the Demon Sect, we must fully utilize these advantages and disadvantages to achieve the best results for ourselves. That's what I need you to do, not just blindly taking action and killing a few people! That would only disappoint me."
"Please enlighten us, Young Master Jiu."
Everyone knew that Young Master Jiu's wisdom was profound.
Since that's the case, there must be something that I'm not seeing.
Everyone looked at Dong Fang San San with admiration, waiting for him to reveal the answer.
"You can't rely on me for everything."
Dong Fang San San sighed, "Now, you are all leaders in your own right. If you rely on me for everything, how can that be? What if, one day, I'm no longer here? Will you only know how to kill then?"
"Why not look at this from a different perspective?"
Dong Fang San San sighed.
Everyone listened silently, but their faces remained expressionless.
Because they all shared one consensus: losing to Dong Fang San San in wisdom and thought was not something to be ashamed of.
On the contrary, it was an honor.
However, over time, the most frustrating thing for Dong Fang San San happened: each of these people was extremely intelligent and far-sighted.
But as long as they were together with him, this group collectively stopped using their brains!
There was a saying among them: "When you see the Ninth Master, throw away your brains! Because keeping them is useless!"
No matter how smart you are, you can't compare to the Ninth Master.
In this situation, Dong Fang San San almost dragged this group of people out for a beating.
But no matter how he tried to motivate them, these guys remained unmoved and unthinking.
"Using your brains in front of the Ninth Master is being clever... Haha..."
This had almost become a common saying in the Guardian Headquarters!
It was speechless! So now, although Dong Fang San San was trying his best, the Guardian leaders sitting below him had their minds blank.
Yes, they were waiting for the Ninth Master's instructions.
Dong Fang San San finally gave up.
He sighed.
"Look, this Night Demon is now a genius of the Only Me Sect and the Unified Heart Sect. He's a bloodthirsty demon with countless kills, a great demon, and an executioner. But, this Night Demon is only a General Rank!"
"This gives rise to other situations."
"Firstly, the Night Demon's situation will definitely attract the attention of the Only Me Sect headquarters! Moreover, it will become a top priority. I'll ask you, if we openly kill this Night Demon now, what consequences will we face?"
Dong Fang San San asked.
"The Demon Sect will definitely retaliate," everyone quickly realized.
"How will they retaliate?" Dong Fang San San pursued.
"They will likely target our successors."
Dong Fang San San asked again, "How confident are we in preventing or resisting their retaliation?"
"It depends on who they send."
"So, you think that if the Head Sect's General Rank dies, who will they send?"
"It's possible they'll send someone from the Weapons Ranking."
"Can we stop them?"
"No!"
The speaker's face was covered in cold sweat.
There's no thousand days of guarding against thieves for a thousand days of thievery. If a Weapons Ranking expert from the Demon Sect intentionally targets the various Martial Academies, no matter how well they prepare, the Demon Sect will find an opportunity.
Because their successors are truly too weak! Dong Fang San San breathed a sigh of relief, finally guiding the conversation to this point, and became more composed. "Is it worth losing tens of thousands of successors for a single Night Demon?"
"It's not worth it."
"Then why do you still want to kill him?"
"We can't kill him..."
The man's face was covered in cold sweat. "But if we don't kill him, do we just let him grow stronger?"
His nose was dripping with sweat.
Dong Fang San San frowned. "When did I say to let him grow stronger? If we don't kill this cruel demon quickly, do you want to keep him around to grow stronger? What kind of thinking is this?"
"This... this..."
Not only this man, but everyone was confused.
What did the Ninth Master mean? Why is he talking so incoherently today?"
"For any matter, we must consider it from the most advantageous perspective. Even for bad situations, we must find the good within it."
Dong Fang San San said, "For this small demon, the Night Demon, we can't just ignore him. But for now, we can't take action ourselves. Look at this intelligence again and find exploitable points."
Everyone started to study it.
"Points we can exploit? Could it be..."
"Even killing people from the Head Sect?"
Everyone understood.
"Not bad, that's one of them."
Dong Fang San San said, "As far as I know, the Incubation to Deity Program is the Only Me Sect's only orthodox promotion channel. So, over the years, the various Subordinate Sect Masters and Demon Sect leaders have sent their children of the appropriate age and cultivation level to participate. Guess how many of these Demon Second Generation have died inside?"
"These are all noble bloodlines. Do you feel pain for the deaths of these heirs?"
He smiled faintly. "As far as I know, the Incubation to Deity Program this time has... 163,612 participants. In the end, only 35,463 came out. 128,149 died inside! This is the Incubation to Deity Program's deadliest session in thousands of years! So, it will also be the one with the strongest reaction. Moreover, in previous Incubation to Deity Programs, the headquarters didn't suffer many casualties."
Everyone gasped in shock.
Such a high death rate?
Dong Fang San San asked, "Then, how many people do you think this Night Demon has killed?"
Everyone was puzzled. "Didn't the report say more than 30,000?"
Dong Fang San San laughed and said, "Wrong! The Night Demon has killed 128,149 people!"
