Chapter 257: Yin Jiaozhu's Astonishment
Chapter 257: Yin Jiaozhu's Astonishment
"I'm doing well now, my mind is clear, and there are still a few bones that haven't fully healed. According to the dissipation of the medicine's power, it should be mostly recovered by tomorrow morning."
Fang Che replied, "Please rest assured, Master."
"Good. As for the Military Commander, you are no match for him. If you find him, don't act recklessly. Leave it to me. I'll tear that bastard apart with my own hands!"
Yin Jiaozhu, the leader of Seal God Palace, was indeed on the verge of going mad.
Think about it, a great demon lord and the leader of a sect, who usually had the power to shake the continent with a stomp of his foot.
But during this period, one crisis after another had befallen him.
First, the deputy leader's attempt to usurp the throne almost killed him. Just as he barely survived the crisis, he hadn't even had time to catch his breath.
Then, he was confined.
The leader of a sect!
Imprisoned in the headquarters, unable to leave. The patrol team would investigate one thing today and another tomorrow, taking their time as if picking bones from eggs.
Day after day, they calmly bought time.
Creating opportunities for outsiders to kill the Night Demon.
But he couldn't leave no matter what.
Any unusual actions would be reported back to the headquarters.
Thus, he had almost no way of knowing what was happening in the outside world.
Only two people could provide him with information: one was the Night Demon, and the other was the informant from White Cloud Martial Academy.
The informant from White Cloud Martial Academy was indeed free, but what use was there in reporting the situation there now?
The Night Demon wasn't even there anymore!
As for other places, he had no idea.
As for the other distant branches, they were all silent as if they were dead.
Oh, the branch in Bai Ping Zhou did send a message some time ago, saying that the situation was critical and they were being watched by those from the headquarters.
Then, after a few days, all contact was lost.
There was no response to his messages either—obviously, they had been dealt with.
He didn't know which side the headquarters was supporting in Bai Ping Zhou, but it was certain that the branch there had been eliminated.
Now, only the Night Demon could keep him informed. But the daily reports only gave him headaches.
They were all about the world seeking to kill the Night Demon!
So many people from all over the world were after the Night Demon.
Yet here he was, the Night Demon's master, unable to move an inch!
Now, the Night Demon's public identity had been attacked again, and it was by someone from the headquarters!
This feeling of watching helplessly, unable to do anything, was driving Yin Jiaozhu to the brink of collapse.
Countless times, he had cried out to the headquarters, "We can't go on like this... If we do, the One Heart Sect will be no more..."
But there was nothing the headquarters could do either.
This was a matter concerning the entire sect, not something one or two people could turn around.
The patrol team could only wait for orders from above to withdraw, and Yin Jiaozhu's influence in the headquarters wasn't enough to have them recalled...
How could Yin Jiaozhu not be on the verge of collapse?
Moreover... After making various inquiries, Yin Jiaozhu learned that among his connections, one person's son had joined the Incubation to Divinity Program and died.
So all of Yin Jiaozhu's efforts were for naught, as if he was being laughed at! Upon learning this, Yin Jiaozhu even had the urge to kill.
"Are you letting me live? Are you letting me live?!"
Yin Jiaozhu kept repeating these words in his headquarters every day.
"I've been the leader for hundreds of years, and a follower for hundreds of years, yet I've never seen such a thing. Damn it!"
Now, it was a common occurrence for Yin Jiaozhu to curse on the streets.
Fang Che responded, "Thank you, Master. There's another matter I need to report. It's about giving the Essence of Divine Power to the Divine Old Man."
Yin Jiaozhu was startled, "What else happened?"
"It's still about giving the Essence of Divine Power to the Divine Old Man. This matter was indeed handled improperly. You were right to scold me that day."
Fang Che sincerely admitted his mistake, "The world knows that the Night Demon obtained the Essence of Divine Power. Now that Fang Zhi Shi has taken it out, it's easy to associate it with the Night Demon. Even though you didn't scold me, the Night Demon leader, the Moon Demon leader, and everyone else knows that the Night Demon has this, and now that Fang Zhi Shi has taken it out, it's easy to make the connection."
Yin Jiaozhu broke out in a cold sweat but calmly asked, "What did you do after realizing this?"
"After realizing this, I immediately went to White Cloud Martial Academy in the night and found the Divine Old Man. Then, we discussed countermeasures and attributed this merit to Dong Fang San San, also known as the legendary Nine Lord. Because the legendary Nine Lord once promised to obtain the Essence of Divine Power for the Divine Old Man, and my reason was that possessing a treasure invites trouble."
"So, the news that everyone knows now is that it was the Nine Lord's grace that allowed the Divine Teacher to recover."
Fang Che confessed everything.
However, he took credit for the discussion between the Divine Old Man and Li Changkong as his own idea.
Finally, he reflected, "You were right to scold me, and I indeed lacked consideration in my actions. Please teach me more in the future."
Yin Jiaozhu was relieved and carefully thought about it. He found no exposed flaws and said, "That's good. Let's forget about the scolding. Because of your hint, you caused such a thing, but you handled it well, and your scheme was not bad."
Fang Che said, "I'm ashamed. If you hadn't scolded me, I wouldn't have thought of it."
Yin Jiaozhu didn't want to discuss this topic anymore. Now, his mind was filled with thoughts of teaching his disciple and fulfilling his responsibilities as a master.
Daoist Master: "Regarding your training, what do you wish to learn?"
"I will learn whatever my master teaches me."
Fang Che obediently replied.
The Yin Shen Palace Master, enraged, said, "Choose for yourself. I will teach according to your talents."
Fang Che suddenly understood, and his expression turned wooden. He realized that his master didn't even know what to teach him! How absurd!
But it was understandable; after all, this was the master's first time teaching, so he lacked experience...
"Disciple wishes to learn the use of blades, spears, swords, and halberds."
Fang Che quickly made his request.
On the other side, the Yin Shen Palace Master's face turned pale upon hearing this.
You're really good at choosing!
The top four weapons in the Cloud Armament Codex, and you want to learn them all.
The Suanqing Saber, Bai Gu Qiang, Snow Condensing Sword, and Kuangren Spear. Two guardians and two righteous protectors.
"These all require face-to-face instruction."
The Yin Shen Palace Master was embarrassed: "What about cultivation techniques? Shouldn't we start with those?"
"I also need cultivation techniques."
Fang Che, with great enthusiasm, said, "Master, do you have any techniques with unique markings? Like, when I make a move, others will know that I'm the one who killed them?"
Yin Shen Palace Master: "..."
You want to leave your mark even after killing someone?
But such a cultivation technique does exist!
"I do have an ultimate technique from our sect, but it has very high requirements. Those without a strong malevolent aura and a heart for killing cannot cultivate it, and it also requires innate talent. So, although I possess this technique, I haven't cultivated it. First, even if I cultivate it, I won't reach the pinnacle. Second, this technique is too flashy; it's even more attention-grabbing than my Xueling Seven Swords. And when using it, my body will be enveloped in blood mist..."
The Yin Shen Palace Master hesitated: "This technique is powerful, but not many in our sect can cultivate it. It's more useful in the later stages, not in the early ones. Anyway, you'll be with the Guardians for a long time, so you won't need it then. It's quite suitable for you. Are you sure?"
Fang Che asked, "Will cultivating it harm my body? Or do I need to suck blood or eat human flesh?"
"No need!"
The Yin Shen Palace Master's face turned black: "What are you thinking about?!"
Unable to suppress the urge to scold Fang Che, the Yin Shen Palace Master said, "I'll send it to you; you can look at it yourself."
"Thank you, Master."
The Yin Shen Palace Master was a man of action; he quickly found the cultivation technique and began sending the message.
Then, the Yin Shen Palace Master froze, dumbfounded, and sat there without moving for a long time!
The secret manual was a book!
Filled with countless words.
Although it wasn't thick.
But no matter how thin, it was still a book...
How could he send this through the communication jade? He was stunned for a while...
The Yin Shen Palace Master reluctantly started typing.
"Ahhhhh..."
The Yin Shen Palace Master pulled his hair and yelled, "Mu Lin Yuan! What kind of rotten idea did you give me?!"
"What are you teaching me, huh?"
"This isn't a load of crap, and it won't send!"
As he cursed, he communicated with the Five Spirit Toad, repeatedly transferring the text to the communication jade and sending it in segments.
Swipe! Swipe! Swipe!...
The Yin Shen Palace Master's Five Spirit Toad was exhausted from the constant use.
What's going on? Is there that much to say? Why not just fly over and say it?
I'm just a tiny little spirit toad; do you think I'm a platinum-level author?"
The Yin Shen Palace Master worked diligently, typing until the sun was high in the sky, and you still hadn't finished!"
One could say he stayed up all night typing.
On Fang Che's side, he had already slept and woken up, only to find that the Yin Shen Palace Master was still sending the messages in segments...
"Oh my god..."
Fang Che was shocked.
He felt that the master was truly diligent.
From my severe injury to recovery, and you're still typing!
Seeing that it wasn't over yet, and the master was still diligently typing, Fang Che had no choice but to go out for a meal.
"Divine Teacher, you're still here."
"Why would I leave when you're not done?"
The Divine Old Man glared at him: "Done?"
"Done. I have a spirit elixir." Fang Che boasted.
"You're full of crap! You almost became fertilizer for the flowers! With your ant-like strength, can't you just behave?"
"There's more!"
The Divine Old Man glared at Fang Che, and a scolding ensued: "You little brat, you've learned to play tricks on me, haven't you? Lying through your teeth! Trying to fool this old man?"
Fang Che was dumbfounded. He genuinely couldn't remember where he had gone wrong, and he said in a daze, "What? When did I lie to you?"
"You little brat, still pretending to be confused!"
The Divine Old Man roared in a low voice, "You said you had taken in that girl as a concubine, right? You made me look like a fool just now!"
Fang Che was dumbfounded: "Ah? Ahh... Oh my god."
Fang Che had genuinely forgotten about this matter. He had said it casually and then forgotten about it. Who would've thought the Divine Old Man would come to his home to confront him?
It turned out that the Divine Old Man had just been chatting with Ye Meng, and he asked, "Since she's a concubine, you shouldn't make her do such lowly tasks anymore. Buying a servant won't cost much, and you can also save a poor soul."
Ye Meng immediately turned bright red and was so flustered that she didn't know what to do: "I, I, I, I... I'm not..."
