Chapter 308: Regrouping, Part 2

Zhao Wu Shang nodded vigorously from the side.

"Yes, we barely had time to shift the blame onto others, let alone say such words."

"And it wasn't even the first thing they said. Only after realizing they couldn't kill us did they throw out that statement, trying to divert the target. Their intentions are despicable!"

Zheng Yunqi was seething with anger.

Xing Mang's brows furrowed, his eyes cold as he said, "Continue."

"Since we can confirm that it wasn't planned by the headquarters, then it must be one of the four Southeast Sects other than our One Heart Sect! Smaller factions wouldn't have the capability to do this. So, the one who made the move is definitely from one of the four major sects."

"They actually know our true background."

Zheng Yunqi said, "Because... that night, so many commanders came together, which is enough to prove they knew about us. Later, although we eradicated them, someone among them must have reported it up the chain. This is a branch of the One Heart Sect, or maybe all of them reported it. So, although we have an official identity in the Guardian Pavilion, we are directly exposed to our own people.

"They clearly know that this is a branch of the One Heart Sect."

"So, their real target this time isn't the Heavenly Escort Bureau allied with the Guardian Pavilion, but to exterminate our One Heart Sect branch!"

There is strength in numbers.

Zheng Yunqi and the others quickly analyzed the situation.

Fang Che listened silently from the side.

He nodded, first, it made sense, and he had the same thoughts; second, this Zheng Yunqi was a talent. Her mind was exceptional.

"Not bad, I agree with you. But until now, I haven't figured out which sect it could be."

Xing Mang's face darkened, and he said, "Headquarters can be ruled out. So, you're all right, everyone here has a sharp mind. Considering the group you're with, if the attackers were similar to you, they probably wouldn't have the ability or the guts."

The crowd went silent.

Were they praising us or mocking us?

"Even if they knew we were a branch of the One Heart Sect, they wouldn't dare to attack us! Similarly, they don't have the guts, let alone the capability!"

"So, it's one of the four sects. Now, the crucial question is, which of the four sects took action. The earliest attack was on the branch of the Heaven God Sect, but if they were going to act, they should have come earlier, so it might not be them. As for the Light Sect and the Three Saints Sect..."

Xing Mang frowned, "But regardless, it's one of these four sects. Which one is so bold?"

Zhou Meier asked, "Why didn't they just report us?"

Everyone's gaze intensified.

"Logically speaking, these sects shouldn't be foolish. Their branches were attacked, and it's certain that we're involved. They should be able to guess that we sold them out, so why don't they use the same method to retaliate against us?"

Zhou Meier was perplexed.

Zheng Yunqi forced a smile, "Meier, there's something you don't know. Under the Commander's efforts, we are conducting business entirely legitimately, and we even cooperate with the Guardian Pavilion. If they report us, what can they do?"

"How would the Guardian Pavilion investigate us?"

Zheng Yunqi chuckled, "Unless they kill one of us and examine the heart pulse for traces of the Five Spirit Toad. But what if it's not? What if it's a setup?"

"The Guardian Pavilion holds us up as a model. Would they just kill a model?"

"So, for us... reporting is no longer an option."

Zheng Yunqi smiled, "On this point, we have to admire the Commander's foresight. He has completely blocked this path."

Fang Che calmly said, "Indeed, reporting won't work. We need to catch them red-handed, but we've followed the rules, and there's no illegal behavior. How can they catch us?"

"Moreover, even if the Guardian Pavilion suspects us after a report, what then? Don't forget that we've been helping them capture Demon Sect cultivators, and we follow the rules. The Escort Bureau is powerful, and it boosts the internal economy of the Cloudy Continent."

"So, even if there are suspicions, they won't take action against us."

"It's not that they don't want to report us, but that there's no chance of a successful report."

"So, they can only take a risk and come to kill us."

Fang Che placed a hand on the Code of Conduct and said, "This is the use of this. If they come to investigate, recite a section of the Code for them! Humph, how many in the Guardian Pavilion can recite the entire Code?"

"So, this Code of Conduct is our talisman!"

Fang Che hummed, "Of course, as long as we follow the rules. But since we're undercover, why would we break the law? So, follow me, and you'll have no worries. As long as someone from our sect doesn't come to kill you, you're safe."

Everyone looked at Xing Mang with admiration.

High!

Truly outstanding.

Others take one step and look three steps ahead, but Starlight Commander has already seen through the entire chessboard.

Starlight Commander’s eyes twinkled, and he revealed a sinister smile, saying, "However, if we look at it from another angle, although we suffered significant losses this time, it presents a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for you all."

"A once-in-a-millennium opportunity?"

Zhao Wu Shang and the others were all momentarily stunned.

Where was the opportunity?

Starlight Commander guided them gently, "Think about it. The few things you need to do now are... those people who died, although they died because of your reports, now you have a chance to shift the blame, understand?"

Everyone was still confused.

They couldn’t quite grasp it.

But Zheng Yunqi’s eyes grew brighter and brighter. She clapped her hands and said, "Exactly, if they dared to kill us tonight, they would certainly dare to kill others!"

"That’s right."

Starlight Commander laughed sinisterly, "Those people who died, although they were from the collateral lineage, they were still blood relatives, right? Their families must be upset?"

"What if they are upset? Naturally, they would want revenge. Come to us? We don’t want that; besides, they have no evidence. Go to the Guardian Pavilion? They don’t dare. So who can they take revenge on?"

"Isn’t it obvious?"

Starlight Commander grinned wickedly and pointed outside, "Did you see those people who came tonight? They did it! And not only did they do it, but they also killed nineteen of our people! Since they killed nineteen, what’s a few more? Whose families do these nineteen belong to? Send messages to their respective families. Tell them it was done by a third-rank sect. Let their families decide for themselves!"

Everyone fell into deep thought. The more they thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

Starlight Commander said, "If all your families, together, can’t even move against a mere third-rank subordinate sect, you might as well all commit suicide."

The more he spoke, the brighter Zhao Wu Shang and Zheng Yunqi’s eyes became.

Fang Che looked at Zheng Yunqi and said, "Will you write this letter?"

"I will!"

Zheng Yunqi’s eyes were extremely bright.

"Good, this letter will not only help you clear your suspicions and restore your clean identities but also shift the blame and gain allies. It will deepen the impression on your families. You understand the importance of this letter."

Fang Che said calmly, "Write it well, Zhao Wu Shang, Zhou Meier, you should also discuss it with Yunqi."

"Yes."

Everyone’s eyes were sparkling.

Who wouldn’t want to return home in glory?

Going back with a cloud of suspicion versus going back with a clean slate—could they be the same?

"Furthermore, each of you should focus on improving your martial arts cultivation."

After laying the groundwork for so long, Fang Che finally began the second phase of his plan, speaking with a tone of frustration, "You’ve followed me for so long, and yet you’re still so weak. One ambush, and nineteen of you died..."

"If this happens ten more times, wouldn’t you all be dead? How can you talk about going back to bring glory to your ancestors and feel proud?"

Everyone hung their heads in shame.

Fang Che said calmly, "You saw just now, with my cultivation, even if all of you died, I could still retreat calmly. So this isn’t for my own sake. Think about it, with your current cultivation, what use are you?"

Everyone fell into deep thought.

Yes, the Commander’s words were right.

Moreover, even if all of them died, as long as the Commander was still alive, the Heavenly Escort Bureau would still be there.

It would be easy to find replacements.

How many people are in the One Heart Sect?

Finding a few escort captains and escorts would be as easy as waving a hand.

So the Commander’s words were truly well-intentioned.

"In short, for today’s incident, my thoughts are as follows: first, our people cannot die in vain. Second, I can’t swallow this humiliation. Third, we must use the situation to shift the blame. Fourth, we must use the situation to clear our names. Note, shifting the blame and clearing our names are not the same. By clearing our names, I mean in both the righteous and evil factions!"

"Then, fifth, is retaliation!"

"Definitely strike back! That’s my only requirement! Regardless of what your families decide, our One Heart Sect’s White Cloud Continent branch will not swallow this humiliation."

Starlight Commander’s voice was quite fierce.

But at this moment, everyone was listening with pleasure!

Because it was this fierce and evil voice that saved their lives just now.

"Commander, when you said we should improve our cultivation, there must be another reason, right?" Zheng Yunqi pondered and said.

"Of course there is a reason, it’s for the next step."

Fang Che sighed lightly. The second phase of the heart-winning plan began. To ensure they could still be useful in the long run, he needed to act skillfully.

From now on, he would truly pave the way for the future.

So Fang Che cultivated his emotions.

His voice became very low and deep.

"But I don’t know if we can reach that point in the future."

He laughed bitterly, "After so much time together, you know my background. I, Xing Mang, did not participate in the Cultivation Divine Plan, so I am not part of the orthodox sect. Therefore, I don’t know how far my future can go."
