Chapter 241: Whose Side?
Chapter 241: Whose Side?
Fang Che slowly walked forward, his face calm as he said, "Perhaps this is how the world works. When faced with imminent danger, even cowards can transform into brave warriors in an instant. Tang Zheng, this might be your chance to change your life, who knows?"
"Haha, I hope it's as you say."
Tang Zheng had no such thoughts.
Change my life? Haha... What a joke. Do you want me to be even more miserable?
Suddenly, a scream echoed from a distance.
Bang!
A rocket shot into the sky and exploded in mid-air.
Fang Che's expression changed, "Follow me."
Tang Zheng's legs went weak, "I... I..."
Fang Che had already transformed into a flash of lightning and disappeared.
In a sparse grove, only a hundred or so trees stood bare, their leaves all fallen.
A man in a black priest robe was covered in blood, nailed to a tree.
Another man, foaming at the mouth, was clearly beyond help. Upon seeing Fang Che, he stubbornly pointed in a direction with one hand, his eyes wide with anger, trying to say something but unable to speak.
Thick blood bubbled from his mouth, and he stopped breathing.
Not far away, a young girl lay on the ground, her heart torn out, her pretty face frozen in terror and despair.
Evidently, members of the Demon Sect had targeted this girl, and these two priests, unfortunately, had also fallen victim.
Without hesitation, Fang Che glanced in the direction the dying man pointed and rushed over with a whoosh.
The Golden Horned Dragon had already rushed out ahead.
As a soul body, it had a natural advantage in this aspect.
In an instant, like a fierce wind, it swept past three streets.
Suddenly, its gaze shifted, following the Golden Horned Dragon's tracking, to a wine house by the roadside.
At the window, three people sat calmly, observing the scene below.
Three young men in white robes.
They seemed to be at an age where they were still naive and curious.
Their gazes were pure, filled with wonder.
They seemed to be questioning the chaotic scene below.
After committing such a heinous crime, they sat here drinking tea as if nothing had happened.
But Fang Che knew that at this moment, these three people had not a speck of dust on their bodies, and there was no trace of the malevolent aura that lingered after killing.
Even if the Guardians searched this place and confronted these three, they would find no fault.
These people had legitimate identities on this side, and they could withstand scrutiny.
What reason could they use to arrest them? The Only Righteous Sect's greatest advantage for so many years had been this.
Unfortunately, now there was Fang Che, this peculiar soul. The Golden Horned Dragon had instantly locked onto these three!
Fang Che cursed inwardly.
With a calm smile, he slowly walked up the stairs.
The three people smiled at each other, chatting as if they were long-lost friends. They were not worried about being recognized.
Even the malevolent aura had been cleared away with secret techniques. How could anyone identify them?
"Who's that guy over there? He looks unfamiliar."
"I don't recognize him. Could he be one of ours?"
"He's so handsome." The female among them spoke.
"Speaking of which, you shouldn't have taken action just now. It was too risky."
"
"Be more careful. Oh, here he comes."
Fang Che approached naturally, "Are you three waiting for tea?"
The girl smiled charmingly, "You too... want to join us for tea?"
"Sure."
Fang Che smiled and sat down, saying, "All three of you are so radiant, it's a pleasure to meet you. I hope you don't mind my boldness."
The middle youth spoke calmly, "You are also a talented individual. It's an honor for us to meet you. May I ask why you're looking for us specifically?"
Fang Che smiled, his words carrying a deeper meaning, "Whose side are you on?"
The three were momentarily stunned.
The youth's face revealed a look of surprise and suspicion, "You saw what just happened?"
"I did." Fang Che smiled, his tone slightly condescending, "That's why I'm certain you're one of us. You three were a bit careless when you escaped, leaving behind air disturbances. How could you not deal with them?"
The three were taken aback. This was indeed a slight oversight. But such air disturbances were almost negligible, right?
To capture and track them, what level would one need to be?
"Then... you...?"
"I've already smoothed out the disturbances." Fang Che smiled reassuringly, "So, I asked just now, whose side are you on?"
The three understood.
Their guard down, they smiled.
"The Wang Family."
"The Li Family."
"The Ma Family," the young girl replied. "And you?"
"Me?"
Fang Che smiled. "The Death Family."
As soon as the words 'Wang Family Li Family' were mentioned, a storm of murderous intent began to brew within Fang Che's heart.
"The Shi Family?" The three exclaimed in surprise. "We've never heard of the Shi Family, one of the super clans, sending someone here as well."
Fang Che smiled mysteriously, pointing his finger backwards and said, "En... for cultivation?"
T
Fang Che smiled and said, "What a pity, if only there was another..."
The Wang youth chuckled. "Brother, I can't let you have this. This kind of resource is rare, whoever encounters it gets to keep it!"
"You're right."
Fang Che burst into laughter, leaning forward as if to reach for the teapot.
Just then, an ancient malevolent aura erupted, suddenly bursting forth.
A deafening boom shook the heavens and earth.
Demon Cloud Dominance!
A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.
Heaven-Hating Blade.
The first move.
Heaven Hating Eyeless!
"The Death Family, death itself!"
Fang Che's blade struck, and he only explained after the move. But the three couldn't hear him anymore.
The three had never expected that in the midst of building camaraderie with their fellow sect members, they would be assassinated so swiftly.
They had been on guard, but they hadn't anticipated the burst of malevolent aura from their opponent, which suddenly caused the sky to collapse and the earth to cave in, almost freezing their bloodline and leaving their minds blank for a moment.
And this Heaven-Hating Blade was filled with murderous intent, a deadly blade!
Three handsome-ranked individuals were beheaded with a single strike!
The three heads flew into the air, and Fang Che grabbed them by the hair, holding them in his hand. With three swift kicks, the three heads were sent flying out the window, landing on the hard, frozen ground of winter, splattering blood everywhere.
A large patch of bloodstains was left behind.
Three trails of black smoke rose and curled upwards. This was the natural dissipation of the Five Spirit Toad after the death of its host.
Only at times like this could one truly see that these were indeed members of the Demon Sect.
Fang Che, amidst the exclamations of surprise, held the heads and turned to leave, instantly returning to the scene where the two administrators had been killed.
People were already handling the scene, and Tang Zheng was there.
The three heads were tossed onto the ground, rolling around.
"The murderer has been executed!"
"Tang Zheng, offer a sacrifice to the two administrators and this girl, then take them back. Record the merit!"
Tang Zheng and several administrators who were busy looked at each other in astonishment.
Is it necessary to be this quick?
To chase after and kill someone so soon?
"Are they the ones? We can't make a mistake," one of the administrators asked.
"The bodies are on the ground outside the Liu Family Pavilion. One look and you'll know," Fang Che replied.
Fang Che approached the bodies of the two deceased administrators, gazing at their serene faces. He sighed softly.
Then he looked at the innocent girl who had died.
Her delicate face, still bearing a hint of childishness, had slightly open eyes and a stiff gaze, staring at the gray, uncertain sky.
He felt a heavy weight in his chest.
It was a pity that the two administrators had died, but they could still be considered as having died in the line of duty. But what crime had this girl committed?
W
"Administrator Fang... should I go back and report the merit?" Tang Zheng asked, trembling slightly.
"Go."
Tang Zheng picked up the three heads, and with a shiver, he left.
"We'll take care of this place, brother Fang," the two administrators said.
Fang Che nodded.
"Administrator Fang, please!"
The two administrators had been beaten up by Fang Che on the day he reported to them, so they naturally knew of his formidable martial prowess, which was far beyond their own.
Their cultivation was simply not enough to deal with these members of the Demon Sect.
Now, they could only hope that Administrator Fang and others with higher cultivation would exert more effort.
They hadn't expected that Administrator Fang would go out once and bring back three heads.
As for the truth, the Guardian Pavilion would verify it, but given his confidence, it was unlikely to be a mistake.
With a swift movement, Fang Che leaped onto a tree branch.
Seeing no abnormalities around, he slightly altered his appearance and headed towards the street where he had just killed.
According to convention, there should be members of the Demon Sect nearby, curious to take a look. Perhaps there would even be something to gain?
If he heard that someone had died on that street, he would also go to see if it was a fellow Guardian Pavilion member.
People's hearts are the same.
Fang Che departed like the wind.
Indeed.
The three headless bodies were already being examined by people from the Guardian Pavilion.
The Demon Sect identity had been confirmed: their heart pulses were empty. This was the unique phenomenon of the Five Spirit Toad leaving its host upon death.
A large circle was drawn around the area.
Many people were curious and afraid, but no one dared to approach the center, though they gathered at both ends of the street.
Nearby, the Liu Family Pavilion's waiter, his face pale with shock, was being questioned. "I... the three of them came first, and then another one joined later. They seemed to know each other... but who could've known they'd suddenly attack like that... I was just bringing a pot of tea over there when suddenly, the three heads flew off! My goodness, the sky turned red with blood..."
