Chapter 227: Taking the Lead
Chapter 227: Taking the Lead
In this situation, the Chief Warden could only turn a blind eye.
Because Fan Tian Tiao had warned him: "Fang Che, you need to keep a close eye on things. If he causes trouble, don't come crying to me about transferring him. I'm telling you now, it's impossible."
So the Chief Warden didn't dare to act.
What if he reprimanded Fang Che, and Fang Che fired back with ten retorts? He couldn't fire him, nor could he transfer him.
Fan Tian Tiao, with his unruly and mischievous nature, was beyond his control.
What kind of authority would he have as a leader then?
That's why...
Harmony is precious.
"Let's go! We'll take a walk in the south of the city."
After a cup of tea, Fang Che called out to Xiao Tang and asked him to go out and take a look around. Since he had assigned tasks, it was natural to fulfill them diligently.
Is Fang Che the type to occupy a position without doing any work?
Xiao Tang followed with a sullen expression.
Ren Chang spoke softly from behind, "Fang Che, don't rush things. Achievements and merits don't come in a day."
Fang Che turned and smiled, "Rest assured, Ren Chang. I'm just getting familiar with the work environment."
"Okay, okay," Ren Chang said, falling silent.
As Fang Che walked out, he thought to himself, 'This Ren Chang is quite considerate. After Fan Tian Tiao's instructions, he's genuinely reminding me from all angles.'
He seemed like a decent person.
...
Fang Che overestimated Li Mengyun and the others.
Moreover, he made a mistake in one regard: it was easy to find Sun Yuan from Fang Che's perspective.
But from Sun Yuan's perspective, finding Fang Che was harder than ascending to heaven.
This was due to the difference in their positions and the asymmetry of information: all the upper echelons of the White Cloud Martial Academy knew that Fang Che was the disciple of Sun Yuan, the Demon Sect's leader.
However, if they tried to find Sun Yuan from the perspective of the Only Righteous Sect's subordinate sects, like the Night Demon, Heavenly Trinity, and Brightness Sects, it would be extremely difficult.
What's more, they didn't even know that Sun Yuan was on the White Cloud Continent, let alone that he had taken on disciples. And now, Sun Yuan was already dead...
Furthermore, the White Cloud Continent had just undergone a purge.
Li Mengyun, the third young miss of the Li family disguised as Wang Yuner, the third young miss of the Wang family, arrived on the White Cloud Continent with two bodyguards and a shadow guard.
Following their plan, they began their investigation.
However, something unexpected happened.
After Li Mengyun and the others contacted the leader of the Night Demon Sect, Hai Wuliang, he helplessly replied, "My sect's influence on the White Cloud Continent has been completely eradicated."
They then contacted the Heavenly Trinity Sect, and the response was the same.
When they asked about Sun Yuan's disciples, the answer was even more baffling—they knew nothing.
"We don't know. We're unaware of the disciples of the One Heart Sect's Shrine Altar."
"We have no idea."
"Who is Sun Yuan?"
These sects were even more direct, not knowing who Sun Yuan was, let alone his disciples.
Li Mengyun's eyes flashed with anger, and she directly sought out the informant from the One Heart Sect, who had been introduced by Ren Zhongyuan.
However, several messages were sent out, but there was no response, as if they had sunk into the depths of the ocean.
The Five Elements Toad reported back: these people were likely already dead.
As for Ren Zhongyuan... there was no need to contact him, as he was also dead.
In the end, Li Mengyun, the third young miss of the Li family, was left with no options. She sent a message directly to the Seal God Palace, and their response was, "Our sect's influence on the White Cloud Continent has been uprooted by the Guardians."
Li Mengyun asked directly, "Does Sun Yuan have a disciple? What's his name?"
The Seal God Palace replied indifferently, "Does Sun Yuan have another disciple? We don't know."
Li Mengyun said, "Is the leader of the Seal God Palace aware but unwilling to inform me?"
The Seal God Palace said, "We truly don't know. Should I personally investigate every disciple taken on by those below me?"
Li Mengyun fell silent.
The Seal God Palace asked again, "What crime has Sun Yuan committed? If you've killed someone, you should at least give a reason. Sun Yuan is one of our Imperial Rank experts, and an Imperial Rank expert from a subordinate sect is not someone to be taken lightly, as you know, Miss Li."
Li Mengyun was frustrated, but she couldn't directly say something like, "I want to find your disciple and kill him, but since Sun Yuan deceived me, I killed him."
- Consistency: Sun Yuan's deception and the resulting consequences should be consistent throughout the story.
- Emphasis: The phrase "I killed him" should be emphasized to highlight the impact of Sun Yuan's deception on Li Mengyun's actions.
- Clarity: The sentence should be structured to clearly convey Li Mengyun's intention to kill Sun Yuan's disciple due to his deception.
- Context: The sentence should be placed in a context that aligns with the story's progression and Li Mengyun's character development.
The Seal God Palace blocked her, making her feel uncomfortable, so she directly asked, "Where is the Night Demon?"
The Seal God Palace replied, "Do you want me to tie up my disciple and deliver him to you, so you can kill him to avenge your brother? If you wish, please say so."
Li Mengyun, feeling frustrated, said, "No need. I'll find and kill the Night Demon myself! You can go back to your duties. When you're promoted, I'll come to congratulate you."
The Seal God Palace gave a cold laugh.
This Li Mengyun was threatening him, implying that if he offended the Li family, he wouldn't be able to get promoted. So, he replied, "Thank you for your concern, Miss Li. However, I've already reported to the headquarters about the Li family sending people to pursue and kill the Night Demon, and even killing our Imperial Rank Shrine Altar. According to the headquarters' regulations, deaths during the 'Raising Gu to God' plan are not allowed. The Li family has violated the rules."
"Additionally, killing our Imperial Rank Shrine Altar is a grave offense."
"I specifically inform you, Miss Li, that our conversation will be synchronized and submitted as evidence."
(End of Chapter)Li Sanxiao was about to contact her family to clear her name.
She threw the communication jade away.
The Seal God Palace snorted coldly, feeling that the Li family at headquarters was acting like fools.
You dare to kill my disciple, and you have the audacity to ask me where my disciple is?
It's as if their brains are sick.
Li Mengyun, on the other hand, was left dumbfounded.
Her cultivation was not low, and being from the headquarters' family, she was always high and mighty. How dare the Seal God Palace be so rude?
Moreover, in terms of intelligence, this Li Mengyun was completely outclassed by the Seal God Palace. Not only did they argue after a few words, but they also gave the other party evidence of retaliation after the Nurture Gu to God plan.
He was so furious that he jumped like thunder, but there was nothing he could do.
Suddenly, he realized that with Sun Yuan's death, this line was completely cut off.
This White Cloud Continent was like a power vacuum for the Only Righteous Sect.
There wasn't even a branch of the Demon Sect here!
Li Mengyun was perplexed.
How could such a place exist in this world?
She sent a message to her family to inquire, and the family's response revealed that the reason behind the unusual situation in the White Cloud Continent was a major incident. Even the Law Enforcement Platform Master, Bei Mingxin, had suffered a great loss here... Wait a minute.
The incident had occurred a few months ago.
Unbelievable!
Li Mengyun was truly astonished.
On this trip, she had gained nothing.
She had only killed Sun Yuan.
The real target, the Night Demon, was still hiding in an unknown location.
If they truly wanted to find and eliminate the Night Demon, they would probably need to capture the Seal God Palace and interrogate them to reveal the Night Demon's whereabouts.
However, even now, the news of the Seal God Palace's complaint had already exposed the Li family to the Law Enforcement Platform's scrutiny.
It was said that the Deputy Grandmaster was still awaiting a response.
But who would dare to directly confront the Seal God Palace? Moreover, with the Seal God Palace's strength, how could they possibly be a threat to them?
"Let's go to the south gate and see... That Sun Yuan's disciple, is he really that useless? His master's head has been hanging there for eight or nine days, and they haven't even bothered to take it down?"
The four of them were helpless, so they left for the south gate.
If they didn't find anything, they planned to leave through the south gate.
...
At that moment, Fang Che was at the south gate.
He had just received news from the Seal God Palace.
His heart was at ease.
Turns out the Li family didn't even know who he was.
That made things easier!
After careful consideration, he realized that the Night Demon's identity was top secret, and the One Heart Sect knew his identity and that he was Sun Yuan's disciple, and there were only four people who knew this.
These four people would never betray him. As for others, from the beginning, the Seal God Palace's plan was carried out in complete secrecy...
The news was like sinking into the ocean.
Therefore, searching for Sun Yuan's disciple among the Demon Sect left no trace.
Unfortunately, they couldn't go to the White Cloud Martial Academy or the Guardian Pavilion to see the results and deduce from there...
"Tsk tsk..."
Fang Che clicked his tongue, "Keeping secrets well, that's indeed a good thing."
He was representing the Guardian Pavilion, inspecting the south gate. This Fang Zhe was young and capable, full of vigor, wearing a brand-new official robe, with his hands behind his back, he commanded with authority.
"There are so many disaster victims here, let's set up a porridge tent."
"Let's clear the debris on this side."
"Quickly clean up the debris inside the city and make it look presentable."
"Let's build a fire pit over there, and those who haven't received relief can warm themselves by the fire."
"Let's clean up this area, there's horse and dog feces everywhere, and people will get sick if it's left for too long. There's also a stray dog over there... Tang Zheng, go and drag it away to bury it."
"Tang Zheng, you're so clueless, didn't you see that pile of feces over there? Hurry up and clean it up..."
"..."
Tang Zheng was so furious at Fang Che's orders that he couldn't keep his feet on the ground, and he had already cursed inwardly countless times.
This was a clear abuse of power, and this Fang Zhe had probably never held an official position before.
However, with Fang Che's participation and constant commands, the order and environment outside the south gate had visibly improved.
Li Mengyun and the other three were in the crowd, watching this young Zhe constantly giving orders and shouting.
Then, the south gate gradually became well-organized.
"Among the Guardians, there is still a capable one."
Li Mengyun sighed.
The other three also nodded in agreement.
Li Changbo, however, spoke with doubt, "But this Zhe, he looks a little familiar, doesn't he? Doesn't he resemble Sun Yuan's disciple?"
Li Mengyun mocked with a smile and said calmly, "That's impossible. What status does Sun Yuan have that he would take a Guardian Pavilion's Zhe as his disciple? That's too absurd. Li Changbo, what are you thinking?"
"The young miss is right."
Li Changbo was just joking and immediately dismissed the thought.
At that moment, they heard the voice of that Fang Zhe shouting, "Hey, Tang Zheng, look at that head on the city wall, it's been hanging there for several days, right? Isn't it time to take it down? The sun is out, and it's about to thaw, go and take it down."
