Chapter 334: The Target is the Night Demon 【10,000 Words】 (Part 2)

All six hundred people knelt down together.

'We pay our respects to the ancestor!'

Only Yan Beihan called out 'Grandpa,' but her voice was drowned out by the crowd. However, Yan Nan heard it and smiled, saying, 'You may all rise. Tonight belongs to you. I'm just here to join in the fun and see the talents of our sect's younger generation. I'll be leaving soon.'

'Yes.'

Everyone sat down in an orderly manner.

The hall fell silent.

Yan Nan sat on the high platform's throne and smiled faintly, 'I also heard your conversation earlier, and you all did well.'

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat, especially those who had been causing a ruckus, their backs drenched in cold sweat.

Yan Nan continued, 'I see that you all have your own thoughts. There's a matter here, a proposal from the Guardian's Dongfang Sansan, and one part of it puzzles me.'

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Opportunity!

A perfect chance to showcase themselves! Yan Nan took out the letter and asked Yan Beihan to go up and copy the proposal.

Then, she went down to pass it around.

'Both sides will hold a friendly competition among the young generation, and each side will offer rewards.

For the winner, there will be a reward.

The competition can be divided into several levels: Martial Marquis, Royal, and Emperor.'

Everyone quickly read through the proposal.

This was today's test!

Yan Nan's gaze deepened, and she said, 'This proposal was made by Dongfang Sansan, and it must contain her calculations. So, what is Dongfang Sansan planning to do?'

What was Dongfang Sansan planning? This question was no small matter, as it involved Dongfang Sansan.

The six hundred people below all considered it seriously.

Many had already taken out their brushes and paper, copying the proposal and placing it in front of them, deep in thought.

Even Feng Yun, Bai Ye, and the others were thinking hard.

The question was asked by the vice sect leader, and the proposer was Dongfang Sansan, recognized as the number one on the entire continent!

So, everyone was clear about the importance of this question.

Especially among the younger generation leaders, the focus intensified.

Yan Nan Dao: "Everyone, take a look at this chair in the middle. If anyone has any thoughts, please raise your hand and then come sit here to discuss."

Below, six hundred pairs of eyes simultaneously fixed on the chair.

Their eyes were filled with longing.

Yan Beihan turned her back and said a few words to the attendant.

The attendant turned and went to convey the instructions.

Then, those who were unprepared also had paper and pen placed before them.

They wrote down their thoughts on paper, contemplating as they wrote; it was much more intuitive than keeping the issues in their minds.

Feng Yun wrote two sentences on his paper.

Young Generation Friendship Battle?

Martial Marquis, Royal Rank, Emperor Rank?

His eyes held an indescribable regret.

His cultivation had surpassed, and by a wide margin.

But Dong Fang San San... that person must have his reasons.

His brows furrowed in thought.

After a moment, no one raised their hand.

Yan Nan's eyes shifted slightly, and she calmly called out, "Feng Yun, please share your thoughts."

Feng Yun stood up, first offering a respectful salute, then he stepped forward and sat down on the chair in the center, his demeanor poised and confident.

As expected, he was the first to be called!

Chen Yun's eyes flashed with jealousy, but he quickly lowered his gaze.

...

"I respectfully report to the Elder, Feng Yun has a few thoughts about this proposal."

Feng Yun spoke.

"Please elaborate."

"The friendship battle proposed by Dong Fang San San is, in essence, a test or an assessment of the backup forces on both sides of the continent. This is one of his objectives!"

When Feng Yun referred to Dong Fang San San, his words were filled with respect.

He did not address him by name or show any disrespect; instead, he respectfully referred to him as 'Dong Fang San San,' and no one in the entire hall found this unusual.

For such a formidable person as Dong Fang San San, whether an enemy or a friend, deserved the utmost attention.

And the utmost attention was the utmost respect.

Feng Yun continued:

"Secondly, the upper limit being the Emperor Rank is intriguing."

"In other words, Dong Fang San San's target lies within these three ranks."

"Or perhaps he aims to probe our limits or uncover our hidden strengths."

"As we all know, those sitting in this hall are the core of the Young Generation of the Only Righteous Sect. This Young Generation can be further divided into two groups."

"My group includes people like me, Feng Yue, Chen Xue, Bi Feng, and Chen Yun. However, most of us in this group have already advanced to the Sovereign level. Therefore, Dong Fang San San's target is not us, who are already beyond the scope. This also indicates that Dong Fang San San is well aware of our existence."

"But it's also unlikely to be those in our group who have not yet reached the Emperor Rank. Such individuals are not worth his attention."

Feng Yun's words left his peers, who had not yet reached the Sovereign level, feeling utterly humiliated.

They wished they could find a hole to crawl into.

But Feng Yun continued speaking without hesitation, unconcerned about any sensitivities. His status allowed him to speak freely.

"Therefore, I believe the Emperor Rank is a distraction set by Dong Fang San San. So, we should first exclude the Emperor Rank because his target is not within this rank."

Yan Nan nodded slowly.

"Moreover, if we have hidden strengths, those strengths or individuals worth hiding would not have only reached the Emperor Rank. Therefore, the claim that we are investigating hidden strengths in this group is unfounded."

"Then, we turn to the Royal Rank. This rank primarily includes Xiao Han and their group. Currently, except for a tiny minority still at the Martial Marquis level, most have already broken through to the Royal Rank."

"However, it is this level of strength that is most ambiguous for the Guardians."

"Because within this group, a peerless killing god emerged, overshadowing everyone else's brilliance—the Night Demon of Yi Xin Jiao!"

"Consequently, those who could have showcased their abilities in the Incubation to Immortality Plan, such as leadership, combat prowess, intelligence, future logistics, future strategists, future pioneers, and more, have had no opportunity to shine."

"So, Dong Fang San San's intention is likely to investigate those within this group who pose a future threat to the Guardians. Among this group, only three individuals have truly proven their strength: Yan Beihan, Chen Yin, and the Night Demon."

"But the others are also exceptionally talented. Their fame is just overshadowed, but this suppression of their reputation is detrimental to the Guardians, as these individuals will undoubtedly continue to unleash their power and brilliance in battles."

"Moreover, the Guardians have no clear understanding of them, which could lead to significant losses."

"Dong Fang San San's purpose is to clarify those who are currently in the shadows."

"By organizing this friendship battle, if we don't want to lose, these talents will have to step forward. They can't remain hidden!"

Feng Yun added, "As for the friendship battle at the Martial Marquis level, I believe it's also a distraction. The real target is the newly advanced Royal Rank individuals from the Incubation to Immortality Plan."

He thought for a moment and said, "Due to the age gap, I don't have a more detailed understanding. I'll need to ask Xiao Han and Chen Yin about that. So, Elder, these are my thoughts. Please provide your judgment."

The crowd fell silent.

Yan Nan spoke calmly, "Your analysis is sound. You may return."

She then announced, "A Soul Revival Pill and a Holy Soul Pill as rewards.

"Thank you, Elder Yan!"

Feng Yun maintained his composure, his expression unchanging as he bowed respectfully.

He then calmly took his leave.

...

Feng Yun's reasoning was meticulous and thorough, covering all possible angles. Essentially, he had addressed everything that the crowd had considered and more.

For a moment, the other five hundred people furrowed their brows, not daring to move.

Yan Nan, with a furrowed brow, paused to think, then continued, "Chen Yun, what's your take on this?"

Chen Yun's heart was filled with unspoken words.

Feng Yun had already said everything.

What was left for me to say? After much deliberation, he couldn't come up with anything new. Embarrassed, he stood up and bowed, saying, "Elder, my thoughts are the same as Brother Feng Yun."

Yan Nan nodded, "You may be seated."

Chen Yun sat down, his face flushed, forcing himself to remain calm.

Everyone kept their heads down, but many of them felt that Chen Yun had been thoroughly defeated by Feng Yun.

Yan Nan scanned the room with her gaze and said slowly, "Yan Beihan, what's your opinion?"

Yan Beihan stood up and strode to the center, where she waved her sleeves, creating a gust of wind that blew over the chair. Then, she shook off a cushion and sat down.

Feng Yun shook his head with a bitter smile.

Many people's eyes showed amusement, and a few young ones almost burst out laughing.

Yan Beihan's actions were the epitome of disdain for Feng Yun.

You sit on a chair, and I find it dirty.

Yan Beihan then said, "Grandfather, I believe that Elder Dong Fang's suggestion for a friendly match is very puzzling. Because, as we all know, the Three Realms will reopen soon. Holding a friendly match before the Three Realms is completely redundant."

"So, Elder Dong Fang must have his reasons."

"First, we cannot refuse this friendly match. If we do, it will be rumored across the continent that the young generation of the Only Righteous Sect is afraid to fight."

"Although it's just a loss of reputation, it's a crushing blow to our confidence. Meanwhile, the morale and spirit of the Guardian Continent's younger generation will soar. This boost in morale will have a significant impact on the future."

"So, we must accept the challenge without a doubt."

"Next, Elder Dong Fang's intention this time is likely to assess our Incubation to Immortality Plan group. He wants to take a look at us, but we won't let him do so easily. Hence, he has to resort to this method."

"Then, why does Elder Dong Fang want to take a look at us? There must be a reason. If I'm not mistaken, it's because Elder Dong Fang senses the threat from this group of youngsters. Otherwise, with his intelligence and composure, he wouldn't make such a suggestion."

"Extending from this threat, who is it that Elder Dong Fang values so highly yet remains elusive?"

"My performance and Chen Yun's are both decent, but we are two open cards. So, Elder Dong Fang isn't concerned about us. Moreover, due to our special identities, it's unlikely for the Guardian Continent to directly assassinate us. We can only die in future battles when the forces are evenly matched or in the chaos of war... It's impossible for us to be killed by assassination, and that's a fact."

"So, apart from us, who is the person that Elder Dong Fang values the most? It's obvious."

Yan Beihan said with certainty, "Grandfather, I believe Elder Dong Fang's target is the Night Demon!"

Night Demon!

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

They heard the name that had caused a stir in the Only Righteous Sect, rising from the lowly status of an ant!

Yi Xin Jiao, the Night Demon!

Yan Nan was clearly unaware, and asked, "How so?"

"During the Incubation to Immortality Plan, the Night Demon emerged out of nowhere, unleashing a killing spree with his solitary power, suppressing all to claim the top spot!"

Yan Beihan explained, "His performance can truly be described as 'dominating the world.'"

"But the Night Demon only revealed his affiliation with Yi Xin Jiao, his position, name, identity, and appearance remain unknown, a complete mystery. After the Incubation to Immortality Plan, he completely disappeared."

"This is the real concern for the Guardian Continent."

"For example, Feng Yun, Feng Yue, Feng Xing, Chen Yun, and Chen Zan, each has an individual file on the Guardian Continent. If they encounter these people, the Guardian Continent will be infinitely prepared, and they'll have time to call for reinforcements."

"But the Night Demon is different."

"No one knows where he is, and no one can predict where he'll strike with his deadly blade."

"Even if... the real Night Demon is already dead, you wouldn't know that you've killed him."

"If the Night Demon is allowed to grow unchecked, once his cultivation reaches a certain level, he will become the Guardian Continent's nightmare. He could be anyone, even among their own people. For the Guardian Continent, this is what Elder Dong Fang is most cautious about."

"It's impossible to guard against."

"The biggest problem now is... we don't know what level the Night Demon has reached after the Incubation to Immortality Plan. We have no idea what stage he's at."

"So, this so-called friendship match between Martial Marquis, Martial King, and Martial Emperor is actually a calculated move, assuming that the Night Demon has at least reached the Martial Marquis rank. With limited resources in his subordinate sect and a short time frame, it's impossible for him to have grown beyond the Martial Emperor rank."

"So, he must be within these three ranks."

"If we send the Night Demon to participate... the moment he appears, it will be the moment Elder Dong Fang locks onto him."

The moment the Friendship War ends, it won't be long before the Night Demon meets his end."

Yan Beihan spoke with conviction, "So... I believe that Dongfang Junsi's ultimate goal is to kill the Night Demon."

Yan Nan took a deep breath, her eyes gleaming.

Her gaze was intense.

Because he suddenly remembered that in Dongfang Sansan's letter, he had casually mentioned the Night Demon.

He immediately retrieved the original letter to examine it.

Indeed, there was a sentence written on it.

"My subordinate sects have so many geniuses, like the Night Demon..."

Suddenly, Yan Nan felt her heart lighten.

...

Opposite her.

Chen Yin couldn't help but feel amused and exasperated, "Little Han, your reasoning seems logical, but... You should understand, who is Dongfang Junsi? And who is the Night Demon? The gap between the two is as wide as the three realms."

He snorted, "Dongfang Junsi personally plotting against the Night Demon? Aren't you overestimating the little Night Demon? You might end up spoiling him."

Yan Beihan's voice turned cold, "Even if it's spoiling him, we need to find him first."

She turned to Yan Nan and said with a hint of personal interest, "Grandpa, I just think this way. Dongfang Junsi's target is definitely the Night Demon!"

Yan Nan's heart was filled with joy.

If Yan Beihan's speculation seemed a bit subjective and biased, Chen Yin's judgment, being more reliable, was that Dongfang Junsi's true target was indeed the Night Demon.

Yan Nan's heart was filled with joy.

Dongfang Junsi, your schemes, I've seen through them all!

Holding back her excitement, she once again addressed Bai Ye, Wu Di, and three others, giving each of them some rewards.

Only then did the questioning end.

Then, each person was given a Saint-level healing pill, the Yun Shen Dan, concluding this event.

He spoke lightly, "You are all young, continue to play and drink. I'll take my leave first."

Feng Yun stood up, bowing deeply, "It's rare to see the Ancestor, and tonight's gathering is a perfect opportunity. Please, Ancestor, grant us the honor of a toast. All of us juniors would like to offer you a cup of wine, please consider it."

Instantly, everyone stood up, "Please, Ancestor, consider it."

"Oh?"

Yan Nan burst into laughter, "Since it's like this, pour the wine."

The crowd was filled with joy.

Six hundred people simultaneously raised their cups and knelt on the ground, while Yan Nan, on the stage, drank it all in one go, and with a laugh, he said, "Tonight's wine is especially sweet."

With a laugh, his body disappeared in an instant.

Writing 10,000 words every day is truly exhausting.

It's been a while since I asked for monthly votes. Let's try for some today.

This month, there's no double votes. Those with votes, please cast them quickly; no need to wait until the end of the month.
