Chapter 347: Night Demon, a True Talent [10,000 Words] (Part 2)
..
He poured it all out like beans from a bamboo tube.
Just as Fang Che faced Dongfang Sansan, so did Yin Shengong when facing Yan Nan, feeling that if the person before him was not trustworthy, then there would be no one else in the world worthy of trust!
The same logic applied.
Therefore, Yin Shengong never even considered the possibility of a leak.
Yan Nan finally opened his eyes after listening, and his expression was filled with bewilderment.
"So that's how it is. This matter can be said to be... extremely coincidental."
Yan Nan couldn't help but want to laugh. Strictly speaking, it was just a series of coincidences that led to Night Demon's identity becoming the biggest secret in the world.
Even the infallible Dongfang Sansan would never have guessed.
The Night Demon he wanted to capture and kill turned out to be the Guardian under his command, and merely a minor steward at that.
"This step, taken by coincidence, is truly ingeniously played."
The more Yan Nan thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was incredibly... mysterious.
Even if someone had exhausted all their brainpower to arrange it, it would be impossible to achieve such perfection after so many events.
"Ingenious!"
After savoring the situation once more, Yan Nan exclaimed, "Night Demon, what a talent!"
Yin Shengong bowed, not daring to speak.
"This is a martial arts genius."
Yan Nan closed his eyes and slowly calculated, "From the time he became a disciple of Sun Yuan... a Martial Master of the third rank, until now... exactly one year, right?"
"Yes, it's been a full year."
"What cultivation level is Night Demon at now?"
"King Rank. He just broke through!"
Yin Shengong replied.
"In one year, he went from Martial Master to Martial Master, Martial Ancestor, Grand Martial Ancestor, Martial Commander, Martial Marquis, Martial King... In one year, he crossed sixty-one ranks."
Yan Nan silently calculated and said, "On average, six days per rank."
"Yes."
"And he didn't consume any cultivation-assisting pills or pills to enhance his cultivation."
Yan Nan continued, "Night Demon... once took the Water Cloud Heaven Fruit from Yan Beihan during the Incubation to Immortality Plan."
Yin Shengong cautiously explained, "A Water Cloud Heaven Fruit wouldn't have such an effect."
Yan Nan interrupted, "A small family without a strong foundation, yet he soared to the heavens. That's talent."
He furrowed his brows and asked, "On your journey to this point, how much Essence Nourishing resources did you give him?"
"A lot!"
Yin Shengong smiled bitterly, "Altogether, it would fill more than three carriages."
"Not too much."
Yan Nan pondered, "Since this move has already been played by coincidence, it shouldn't be wasted lightly."
"Now... his biggest weakness is his dark past in Green Wave City?"
"Yes. That's the only trace of our One Heart Sect's involvement, and it's also the reason he's never been fully trusted by them."
Yin Shengong explained, "But only a few people in the Guardian Pavilion know about this, and they want to use his identity to gather information about us."
"Hmm?" Yan Nan furrowed his brows.
"They only know that Fang Che might be related to the One Heart Sect, but they don't know he's Night Demon."
Yin Shengong explained in detail.
Yan Nan nodded, "This needs to be erased. Otherwise, Night Demon's position in the Guardian Pavilion won't be secure."
"But the family in Green Wave City is already extinct... We can't erase it even if we want to." Yin Shengong sighed.
He wanted to erase Fang Che's dark past more than anyone.
But there was no way.
Yan Nan frowned, "You were really careless with this matter back then."
"Yes, my biggest regret now is this. I didn't handle it thoroughly."
Yin Shengong also regretted deeply, "At that time, Fang Che was just a small fry, and he was in his maternal family, with limited resources. So, when he saw the Su family's wealth, his instinct was to take it for resources. And at that time, he was far from being worthy of my attention. I just went along with it."
"After all, he was just a lowly disciple. Alas, I never thought that the more Fang Che advanced, the more he achieved, and the more important his position became... By the time I wanted to erase his dark past, it was already too late. It wasn't until the Incubation to Immortality Plan ended that this matter became a thorn in my side."
Yin Shengong deeply regretted this matter.
Yan Nan glared at him and said, "Now, it's also a thorn in my side."
He furrowed his brows and pondered.
In Yan Nan's opinion, this matter was a coincidence that gave him the upper hand over Dongfang Sansan.
Who could have known that Yin Shengong would use a small fry to set up such a scheme?
Using a Martial Master to lay out such a plan... honestly, such a bold move was beyond Yan Nan's comprehension, no matter how hard he racked his brains.
Moreover, Yan Nan was clear that even Yin Shengong, who had set up this scheme, would never have imagined that it would lead to the small fry's growth to such an extent.
Therefore... everything was a bizarre twist of fate that led to this outcome.
"Even with the planner standing before me and giving a detailed report, I still can't figure it out after thinking about it for half a day. No wonder Dongfang Sansan had no clue."
Yan Nan suddenly felt proud.
Although he was only a small King Rank now, Dongfang Sansan claimed to be the number one wise man on the continent. How could he not have guessed that Yan Nan's person was right under his nose?
Capture? Capture nothing!
Yan Nan praised Yin Shengong with a glance, no wonder the leader of this subordinate sect refused to expose himself, there was such a big secret involved.
This is a great opportunity.
However, the problem now is that when Fang Che was young and weak, he resorted to cunning and forceful means to obtain resources, leaving behind a stain on the reputation of Yi Xin Jiao.
This stain is not significant.
But it has become the biggest obstacle in his path to success.
Within the Guardian faction, having such a stain with implications of demonic teachings is a direct reason for distrust. Moreover, if this stain is reported to Dong Fang Sansan by someone below, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"What are the chances of Dong Fang Sansan receiving such a report?"
Yan Nan frowned in thought.
The chances are slim.
It's almost like a county-level leader reporting a minor incident in their jurisdiction to the highest leader. But it's still necessary to be cautious!
"The beginning was a bit rough."
Yan Nan frowned as he considered the stain, which must be erased.
Yin Shengong stood there, trembling with fear.
He thought that his previous narration contained some elements of justification, even though he was not actually justifying anything but narrating the actual situation. But would the deputy sect master think he was making excuses?
This impression was crucial. If Yan Deputy Sect Master thought he was afraid to take responsibility and was eager to distance himself, then it would be bad.
Yan Nan hummed softly, "What about establishing merits at the Guardian Pavilion?"
Yin Shengong forced a bitter smile, "I've tried this method, but Night Demon's cultivation is too low now, and it's unreasonable to establish great merits. Moreover, on my side... there aren't any great merits to achieve. I can only establish minor merits and slowly accumulate them."
Yan Nan angrily said, "Knowing this, you still forced him to kill ten of the Guardian Pavilion's trusted followers. This is utterly foolish!"
Yin Shengong was filled with regret, "The consequence of this matter is too great... If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have done it no matter what... But this was my way of pledging allegiance..."
"You still need to pledge allegiance with the Five Spirit Toad?"
Yan Nan looked at Yin Shengong, and a thought formed in his mind: This person has a narrow mind, can be used, but not heavily relied upon.
"Although Night Demon has successfully infiltrated, his current position is too low, and he's not yet worthy of heavy reliance. Continue to cultivate him."
Yan Nan's voice was low, "Even if he's exposed now, it won't make any difference, nor will it threaten Dong Fang Sansan. It won't even give her a bad feeling. He's too lowly and weak."
"In the future, we'll focus on cultivating Night Demon's position in the Guardian Pavilion. We'll find opportunities to eliminate those who know about Night Demon's past and then create a perfect resume for him, preparing for his future advancement to higher positions."
"We have all the time in the world. We can afford to wait."
Yan Nan slightly furrowed his brows. After hearing Yin Shengong's various tests on Night Demon, he had basically confirmed Night Demon's reliability.
But to be sure, he still needed to see for himself.
However, Night Demon's current strength was too low, and he didn't even have the qualifications to be seen by Yan Deputy Sect Master.
In the future, if Dong Fang Sansan discovers her rising star, a key member or bigwig she values, is actually from the Only Righteous Sect... What would she think?
Yan Nan thought, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed into a faint smile.
He was full of anticipation.
"On this side, we also need to improve accordingly. You can report this to me separately in the future. But don't send random messages without a significant reason."
"Yes, I understand."
Yin Shengong was overjoyed!
I... have truly reached the pinnacle of my life.
I've actually gained the qualification to report directly to Yan Deputy Sect Master.
Then he increasingly felt that his move to cultivate Night Demon was truly ingenious.
Who would have thought that under such a coincidental opportunity, such a dramatic result would occur?
With a reverent heart, he added the deputy sect master's contact information.
Yan Nan frowned and asked, "That Sun Yuan... is his name Sun Yuan, right?"
"Yes."
"How did he die?"
"It's... the headquarters family. It's said that the Li family and the Wang family did it," Yin Shengong said cautiously.
"Which Li family and Wang family?"
"It's said that..."
Yin Shengong told everything he knew.
"Has Night Demon already killed the perpetrators?"
"Yes."
"It's best to eliminate this vengeance," Yan Nan hummed.
"Reporting to the deputy sect master, Night Demon has made a vow to the Heavenly Scorpion God, he swore to kill every living thing in the two families in the future, even splitting a worm in the ground of the Wang and Li families."
Yin Shengong's face was covered in sweat, trembling.
"..."
Yan Nan was speechless, "Such a venomous vow... This is truly unique. Splitting a worm..."
Yan Nan hadn't felt like laughing in a long time, but at this moment, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Since it's like this... we'll just have to see how things go."
Yan Nan sighed.
Making such a venomous vow to the Heavenly Scorpion God was irreversible.
Seeing that the topic had come to an end, Yin Shengong relaxed and cautiously asked, "There's one matter I haven't made a decision about yet. It's about Night Demon's family."
Yan Nan thought for a moment, "If Night Demon only develops within the sect, his family will be a weakness. But if he spans both sides, for the Guardians, his family will be an advantage."
"Moreover, the Guardians undergo assessments every once in a while, and this is something we can't make up for. So, it's better to keep that small family around rather than eliminate it."
"Don't act rashly."
"Yes."
Yin Shengong understood.
"Additionally, Yan Beihan is interacting with Night Demon, and Heaven Yin is also doing so now... Feng Xing has taken a liking to Night Demon's other identity, Starlight."
"The Yinjiao Palace was finally able to meet with the Deputy Sect Master, and they reported everything they could."
"These little guys, their eyes are quite sharp."
Yan Nan smiled faintly and said, "It's just a pity that the Night Demon cannot be controlled by them. Cooperation is fine, but control is out of the question. Their amateurish plans will only lead to their downfall when facing Dongfang Sansan."
"..."
"There's no need to worry about them. Just let them do their thing in secret, but you must inform the Night Demon to be prepared."
"Yes."
"I have only one request for the Night Demon, remember this."
"Please instruct, Deputy Sect Master."
"Take your time, don't rush, and don't be Impatient. Even if it takes a few hundred or a thousand years, it's worth waiting. At no time should you be exposed."
Yan Nan slowly said, "If he can grow on his own, then when he reaches the Venerable Saint Rank, I will let him come to see me."
"Yes."
"This matter is in your hands, and it must not go through anyone else. In everything, you must be cautious."
"Yes."
"Dongfang Sansan proposed the Young Generation Friendship Battle to find and kill the Night Demon. Therefore, your Yi Xin Jiao can provide a spot, but the Night Demon and Starlight cannot participate."
Yan Nan had already made up his mind about this before Yinjiao Palace arrived; now, he was just removing Starlight from the equation.
As for the fact that Yi Xin Jiao's Night Demon not participating would inevitably lead to the loss of his hair, it was no longer important.
Yinjiao Palace was still unaware of the Young Generation Friendship Battle, feeling completely confused, and verbally agreed.
"Also, after this friendship battle, since Dongfang Sansan did not achieve his goal of finding the Night Demon, and those who trained at the headquarters will return, Dongfang Sansan's exploitation of the situation will not end."
Yan Nan's lips curled into a faint smile.
He felt that he had seen through Dongfang Sansan's plan.
He realized that dealing with Dongfang Sansan was not as difficult as he thought; he only needed to know Dongfang Sansan's true intentions, and then he could predict his next moves with complete clarity.
It was absolutely this kind of pattern.
"So, in order to achieve his goal, his next actions will definitely target your Yi Xin Jiao. There is no doubt about this."
Yinjiao Palace was shocked. "What?"
"He wants to kill the Night Demon, but since you are the Night Demon's master, who else would he target if not you?"
Yan Nan gave him a sidelong glance. "So, prepare yourselves, Yi Xin Jiao. It's going to be tough."
Yinjiao Palace took a deep breath and said, "Yinjiao Palace will not fail the expectations of the Deputy Sect Master!"
"Yes."
"As for the aristocratic families who want to deal with you, don't worry about them."
Yan Nan thought for a moment and decided to give Yinjiao Palace some reassurance.
While Yinjiao Palace himself was not important, the fact that his disciple, the Night Demon, was involved in Dongfang Sansan's calculations, was significant.
So, he gave Yinjiao Palace a little encouragement.
"I thank the Deputy Sect Master."
"Good."
As the conversation seemed to be coming to an end, Yinjiao Palace's expression suddenly changed.
The Night Demon had sent a message.
He couldn't help but want to speak but held back.
Yan Nan's senses were sharp. "Yes?"
"The Night Demon sent me a message."
"What does it say?"
Yinjiao Palace took a look and said, "The Night Demon says... he's at the Guardian Pavilion, and he's been appointed to participate in the friendship battle selection. He's asking me what to do."
"The Night Demon is participating in the friendship battle selection over there? Is there such a thing?"
Yan Nan felt like he had found a pillow for his thoughts and became interested. "Let me see."
Yinjiao Palace coughed and, at the same time, informed the Five Spirit Toad and showed the communication jade tablet, saying cautiously, "This disciple of mine, he doesn't think before he speaks..."
Before he could finish, Yan Nan had already seen the Night Demon's message.
"If my master goes to the headquarters and something happens, I swear to the Heavenly Scorpion, I will kill all the aristocratic families of the Only Righteous Sect in the future!"
A peculiar expression appeared on Yan Nan's face.
Cold sweat dripped down Yinjiao Palace's face. "Please calm your anger, Deputy Sect Master. This child is a bit extreme..."
"His killing instinct is not bad."
Yan Nan smiled faintly. "If one aristocratic family kills you, all the others will follow... Tch, your disciple is quite devoted to you."
Yinjiao Palace felt ashamed and warmed. "Yes, this disciple of mine is truly loyal to me."
Then, Yan Nan flipped through the messages and read a few more pages.
A smile appeared on his lips.
He then flipped back to read the latest message.
Yinjiao Palace felt his mouth go dry. Why is the Deputy Sect Master in such a good mood today? Did I say something I shouldn't have to the Night Demon earlier?
Then, Yan Nan saw the Night Demon's latest message.
"Master, there's something I need to report. It's said that we will have a Young Generation Friendship Battle with the Guardians, and the Guardian Pavilion has selected me to participate in the King Rank selection. Master, what should I do? If possible, I still want to represent our sect as the Night Demon. It's been too long since the Night Demon has been silent, and my reputation has faded..."
Yan Nan clicked his tongue.
"Just a tiny ant who has barely broken through the King Rank First Level is talking about the 'Night Demon's reputation'... Tch, reputation..."
The Night Demon's message continued, "If I represent the Guardians in the battle, it will likely be a one-sided victory for them. After all, my current strength is too powerful. I'm not boasting when I say I'm invincible among my peers. The little shrimps at the headquarters are no match for me; one sword strike is enough to take them down."
Yan Nan glanced at Yinjiao Palace, feeling speechless. "How do you usually teach your disciple? Do you only teach him how to boast?"
