Chapter 348: Master, I Can't Control My Urge to Kill (Part 1)

Yin Shengong wiped his sweat, "Night Demon is usually quite composed, but when she's with me, she tends to be a bit casual in her speech..."

Yan Nan hummed and said, "Your younger generation is casual when talking to you, right?"

He couldn't help but think of Yan Beihan. This girl usually acted aloof towards outsiders, but in front of him, she seemed like a child who couldn't grow up. He couldn't help but smile and say, "It seems that this disciple of yours is quite close to you, not just like a regular disciple, but more like a son. She's mischievous, and you want to scold her, but you can't bear to do it. And if you don't scold her, you get angry."

Yan Nan laughed and said, "That's a spot-on description. These little brats sometimes really test your patience."

So, he instructed Yin Shengong to send Night Demon a message: "Be more serious!"

Yan Nan himself knew that these three words would have little meaning for a mischievous child and might even encourage them to act more recklessly.

It was a good opportunity to observe.

As expected.

Night Demon's message soon arrived: "My disciple means that if Master needs me to fight, then during the selection process, I will intentionally lose and get eliminated. Then, I'll go to our side, and Night Demon can show off and make Master happy. After all, our Yi Xin Jiao has just been promoted, and we need to establish our authority. If I fight, our Yi Xin Jiao will shock the world, and the deputy sect masters will also look at Master with new respect. If they can promote you, then they will have shown their foresight."

Yin Shengong's sweat dripped like a waterfall.

His eyes widened.

Good disciple! Your Master is currently being scrutinized by the deputy sect masters!

Yan Nan glanced at Yin Shengong and said, "Yin Shengong, it seems that not promoting you is a failure of my foresight."

Yin Shengong was drenched in sweat and stammered, "I dare not... I dare not... This little brat is talking nonsense. I'll go back and teach her a lesson."

"Why teach her a lesson?"

Yan Nan instructed Yin Shengong, "Tell her that as a young person, she should be humble. There are countless geniuses at the headquarters, and it's not her turn. Be more serious."

Yin Shengong trembled and obeyed, praying silently, "Please don't get angry, Master. You're scaring me to death..."

Soon, Night Demon's reply came: "To be honest, if I don't participate in this battle, I'm afraid we will lose. It's not that I look down on the younger generation in our main temple, but they are just from good families. They are all garbage. Among their peers, except for Yan Beihan and Heaven Yin, the others are basically not worth mentioning. If I don't fight, they will most likely lose. If I intervene in a critical moment, I can turn the tide and save the situation. That will be a real show of strength, and I can trample all the disciples of the main temple underfoot, one by one."

"This arrogance..."

Yan Nan clicked his tongue and said, "Turning the tide and saving the situation, huh? These two phrases are used with such confidence."

Although Yan Nan commented verbally, he was secretly pleased.

Night Demon could indeed be considered an unparalleled genius.

And such a genius still held his granddaughter in high regard.

That was very satisfying.

As for Heaven Yin, who was mentioned alongside her, Yan Nan naturally ignored him.

"Is he really invincible among his peers? At the King Rank First Grade, he already has such abilities?" Yan Nan asked.

Wiping his sweat, Yin Shengong said, "This kid is a bit arrogant, but his skills are solid. If he dares to say this, he must have some grasp of the situation. However, being at the lower ranks, he hasn't seen true geniuses, so it's understandable if he's mistaken."

This kid has been causing me trouble all day, and I have to keep protecting him... Sigh.

"He probably doesn't know that Yan Beihan and Heaven Yin are no longer at his level. He's like a frog in a well."

Yan Nan hummed and said, "Tell Night Demon that she should be prepared to die if she wants to fight for our sect. Let her fight in the Guardian Pavilion and make sure to perform well. She must participate in this Friendship Battle and get a ranking!"

Yan Nan already had a plan in mind. Since Night Demon was truly such a genius, this Friendship Battle would be an exciting spectacle.

"Yes," Yin Shengong replied.

He immediately began crafting the message and sent it out through the Five Spirit Toad.

Night Demon's reply came swiftly: "Master, are you doing well at the headquarters? If anyone bullies you, tell me their name, and I'll deal with them. I can't do anything to these aristocratic families now, but I'll look for their distant relatives in my branch and capture a few to vent your anger."

Yin Shengong's face twisted.

My disciple, I'm sending you a message under the watchful eyes of the deputy sect masters!

Can you not say such reckless things? Can't you secretly discuss killing your own people?

So, he replied, "Focus on your tasks, and don't be so bloodthirsty! Consider the overall situation of our main temple first."

As Yin Shengong prayed, Night Demon replied, "What overall situation? What does the main temple have to do with us? Master Sun Yuan always teaches us that in the demon sect, we shouldn't be so cautious about the main temple. What's so important about it? In this world, only our Yi Xin Jiao matters. As for killing, if it needs to be done, I've already sworn to do it."

Yin Shengong's face turned pale, and he didn't dare to lift his head.

He didn't even dare to wipe the sweat off his brow.

What a good disciple of the main temple leader. Your words have truly exposed me in front of the deputy leader.

Seeing that Night Demon actually sent another message: "It's been many days since I last killed. My hands are itching. This time, it's a friendship battle, and we're not allowed to kill. There's no point in participating. I don't understand why we can't kill. We're not an alliance, and we're mortal enemies. How can there be no casualties? It's truly incomprehensible."

"It was our own deputy leader who proposed this friendship battle. Master, do you think the deputy leader is getting senile? Once I become the main temple leader, I'll dismiss a few of them."

Yin Shengong's cold sweat had turned into a river.

Without caring that Yan Nan was right beside him, he quickly sent a message: "Shut up! Mind your own business! Don't send any more messages!"

He couldn't let him continue speaking. Even if the deputy leader wanted to see, he couldn't. If he kept talking, I'd be in trouble today.

Night Demon's messages abruptly stopped.

Yin Shengong's forehead was covered in cold sweat. "This disciple has sinned."

Yan Nan hummed and said, "Teaching disciples, not bad. You actually want to become the main temple leader. Tsk tsk, will I become his subordinate? And you even want to dismiss me! How bold!"

A thud sounded.

Yin Shengong knelt straight on the ground, his heart silently screaming, 'I'm dead, I'm dead.'

This time, he was truly dead.

Yan Nan wasn't angry, but instead, he pondered Night Demon's words and said calmly, "Your ambition is commendable. However, you must remember to consider the bigger picture in the future. You can't just focus on the small territory of Yi Xin Jiao. How big is Yi Xin Jiao? Your vision is as narrow as your master's."

Yin Shengong repeatedly kowtowed, "Yes, yes."

With each kowtow, a new puddle of sweat formed on the ground.

It was cold sweat.

Today, Yin Shengong was nearly scared to death by his own disciple.

Three souls and seven phantoms, he had already lost two souls and six phantoms. The remaining soul and phantom were swaying in the wind and rain.

He almost fainted on the spot and never woke up again.

"Go, tomorrow at the Star Palace."

"Yes, yes. This disciple takes his leave."

Yin Shengong retreated on his knees, reaching the door, but suddenly remembered something, his face changing as he said, "Deputy Leader Yan, this disciple suddenly remembered something that is very unfavorable for Night Demon."

"Hmm?"

Yan Nan raised his eyebrows.

"If Night Demon participates in the friendship battle from that side, his identity as Sun Yuan's disciple will be exposed."

Yin Shengong's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he said, "Which disciple is Sun Yuan's? Since there was never any record, it can't be found from Sun Yuan's side. However, it's very easy to find Sun Yuan by investigating who is Fang Che's master from Fang Che. This is a huge loophole!"

At this, Yan Nan was truly stunned. "There's also this matter? How did you handle things initially, leaving so many loopholes!"

"It was my lack of consideration." Yin Shengong was also extremely anxious.

"Sun Yuan's identity in the martial world is a wandering cultivator. It can only be said that he has a vague connection with our Yi Xin Jiao, but his true identity was never exposed to the Guardians, even until his death, and he died at our own hands... This..."

Yan Nan frowned, "That's also a bit inappropriate."

"And once it's exposed that Sun Yuan is Fang Che's master, won't our main temple aristocratic family suspect that Fang Che is Night Demon?"

Yin Shengong frowned, not caring that Yan Nan was right beside him, and started pondering deeply.

Yan Nan's mind worked quickly, and he immediately understood, "That won't happen. After all, Night Demon's first appearance was as your disciple, Yin Shengong. Our own people don't know that Night Demon is also Sun Yuan's disciple. There's no problem with this."

"So, we have to be careful with the Li family and the Wang family. These two families clearly know that they have a grudge against Fang Che."

Yan Nan said calmly, "So, these two families are worth paying attention to. If they can't kill Fang Che, then with their strength, there's no problem in them eliminating Fang Che's family."

"They would definitely do something like this."

Yan Nan pondered and spoke slowly.

Yin Shengong's body was covered in sweat again. "Then..."

"Yes, their actions will affect my overall plan, so they can't move."

Yan Nan's eyes gleamed with a sinister light.

"I'll handle this matter."

"Yes."

"But the key isn't on our side. The key is that Fang Che is Sun Yuan's disciple. This matter can be big or small, as Sun Yuan's disciple may not necessarily be a member of the demon sect. If we insist on this, it may also..."

"But if this matter reaches Dongfang Sansan's ears, the chance of Night Demon's exposure is almost ninety percent."

Yan Nan knew Dongfang Sansan too well.

That person's wisdom was beyond what anyone could imagine.

Seeing the small and knowing the big picture was just the most basic operation.

However, there was no solution to the matter of 'Fang Che being Sun Yuan's disciple'.

It was a done deal.

Moreover, Sun Yuan was already dead! Even if they wanted Fang Che to kill his master to prove his loyalty, it was impossible.

For a moment, Yan Nan couldn't think of a better solution, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed and frustrated. He glanced at Yin Shengong and sighed, "The initial layout... was truly too naive!"

Yin Shengong didn't dare to speak.

How could he know that his most minor layout, which he had unintentionally set in motion, had grown into such a huge, heaven-defying vortex by today? If he had known earlier, Yin Shengong would have emptied Yi Xin Jiao's resources to prevent Fang Che from touching the Li family's wealth.

And he definitely wouldn't have let Fang Che become Sun Yuan's disciple!

I could have done it myself, and no one would have known. It would have been so simple to become his master under an alias. But now... it's too late.

Yan Nan thought for a long time but couldn't come up with an effective solution. He always felt that any action would not only be redundant but would also backfire and hurt himself.

"This time, it's up to the Night Demon herself."

Yan Nan sighed inwardly.

Then he thought of another matter: If Fang Che were to participate in the friendship battle and perform well, he would naturally catch the attention of the upper echelons of the Only Righteous Sect.

What if they took action?

With this thought, Yan, the Deputy Sect Master, felt his head spinning.

How could a small fry like him be involved in so many matters?

He waved his hand, feeling a bit weary, and said, "You may go."

"Yes."

Yin Shengong knelt down and knocked his head, then stood up with a bow and retreated to the door, which was already open.

"This subordinate bids farewell to the Deputy Sect Master..."

Then he walked out backwards.

Even after he left, Yan Nan remained deep in thought, frowning...

...

Yin Shengong stepped out of the door and turned around, only to see Yan Beihan with an unpleasant expression and Hong Yi, who was not in the mood for laughter.

"What did you talk about for so long?"

Yan Beihan asked.

"Some... minor matters." Yin Shengong's mind was in a daze.

But instinctively, he knew to keep it confidential.

"Hmph."

Yan Beihan rolled her eyes and didn't pay attention to Yin Shengong. She walked inside.

Then, Hong Yi said to Yin Shengong, "Let's go, Yin Shengong. I'll send you back."

"Thank you, Hong Yi."

They walked out of Feifeng Lou and onto the street, where a gust of night wind blew, and Yin Shengong's mind suddenly cleared.

He suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

His front and back were soaked, and his crotch was especially damp.

Due to its location, sweat accumulated the most there.

Now, as he walked, it felt like he hadn't properly dried himself after taking a bath, leaving a soapy residue—sticky, slippery, and cold. It was quite refreshing.

Hong Yi glanced at him, "Look at you, scared out of your wits?"

"The Deputy Sect Master's presence is as awe-inspiring as the heavens... I couldn't bear it."

Yin Shengong became even more respectful.

In the shadows, a figure flashed, and Hong Yi suddenly looked up.

A graceful figure appeared in mid-air, like a ghost.

She raised her hand.

Suddenly, a burst of red exploded in the night sky.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... In the darkness, seven or eight people ran frantically, as if they wished their parents had given birth to two more legs.

Hong Yi stood in mid-air, her voice calm, "This time, I spared your lives. Don't forget your place and don't be ungrateful. If there's a next time, I'll chase you right to your homes! You've lost all sense of propriety over the years, and you've been spoiled too much!"

The night became instantly calm.

Hong Yi descended and said calmly, "It's nothing. Let's go."

Yin Shengong broke out in a cold sweat and stammered, "Were they all trying to kill... me?"

Hong Yi glanced at him and smiled, "Yin Shengong, don't use that eye medicine again."

Yin Shengong's intentions were exposed, and he became embarrassed.

They returned to the inn, and Wu Xiang had been waiting anxiously.

Hong Yi bid farewell and turned to leave, not even acknowledging Wu Xiang.

As he watched Hong Yi's figure disappear, Wu Xiang exclaimed in shock, "It was Hong Yi who personally sent you back?"

Yin Shengong's face turned pale, and his legs felt like noodles, "Help me up..."

"Didn't you go out for a drink tonight? Why are you like this..."

Wu Xiang pulled Yin Shengong into the room, who immediately lay down on the bed, panting heavily. With a face of relief, he said, "Wu Chief Administrator, it's only now that I feel like I'm still alive."

Wu Xiang was perplexed.

"You don't seem injured, and it doesn't look like you were in a fight..."

"Ah..."

Yin Shengong lowered his voice and leaned close to Wu Xiang's ear, whispering, "Tonight, the one who invited me was not Yan Beihan, but the Deputy Sect Master..."

Wu Xiang was so surprised that he jumped up, "This..."

Yin Shengong covered his mouth, "Silence."

When Yin Shengong removed his hand, Wu Xiang's mouth was still wide open, and he looked shocked.

"Keep it confidential."

Yin Shengong's expression was mysterious.

Wu Xiang nodded repeatedly, looking at Yin Shengong with admiration.

It was the Deputy Sect Master who invited him, and they chatted for an entire evening!

Yin Shengong's luck was incredible.

Yin Shengong took a deep breath and, after a few more breaths, he smiled, "Wu Chief, tonight, I'll treat you to a drink."

Wu Xiang took a deep breath and readily agreed, "Good!"

This face-saving gesture was necessary at this moment! So, despite the late hour, they ordered more wine and dishes, and the two drank until dawn.

But they didn't discuss anything other than that.

However, from that point on, Wu Xiang's opinion of Yin Shengong rose significantly. This Yin Shengong, the leader of the Yi Xin Sect, had a bright future ahead of him!

And this time, when Yin Shengong drank, he truly felt the joy of being patted on the back by his superior and having his superior pour him a drink.

For the first time in his life, he experienced the supreme pleasure of having his superior praise him and pour him a drink.

What a thrill!

Good disciple, hahaha, amazing!

...

The morning sun rose.

Yin Shengong stood outside the Star Palace, full of vigor, awaiting his audience.

After half an hour, he was finally granted an audience.

Upon entering, the Deputy Sect Master highly praised the achievements of the Yi Xin Sect's branch and then announced the rewards: "The Yi Xin Sect's merit points are increased by eight thousand. A bottle of the Divine Cloud Spirit Pill, three Divine Blade weapons, ten thousand Divine Crystals, ten thousand top-grade purple crystals, five thousand top-grade spirit crystals, and the Sacred-rank Condensed Energy Blood Spirit Seven Swords Sword Manual; one catty of the Spirit Cloud Spirit Pill..."

The list of rewards went on and on.

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

This time, the Deputy Sect Master's rewards for the Yi Xin Sect were so generous?

Then, the Deputy Sect Master offered a few words of encouragement and concluded the audience.

The crowd was left bewildered.
