Chapter 353: Eastern Command, Investigate the World! [10,000 Words] (Part 1)
"Damn it, Heaven's Heart Jade!" Elder Shen exclaimed, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Wow, I've lived long enough to see the day when the tightfisted old man plucks his feathers. Our Deputy Commander has really bled this time. Such a premium quality Heaven's Heart Jade, and he's willing to give it away. Fang Che, quickly take it and keep it safe. This is a valuable item. Wearing it on your body, you'll be protected from heart demons and evil influences, and it can even cleanse your body and expel poison from your Dantian... It's a rare treasure that you can only hope to encounter. And it's such a large piece!"
"With this, you'll never have to worry about falling into the path of demons and losing your way. Do you understand the significance of this?"
Elder Shen was delighted. "Quickly, take it and keep it safe."
He raised his wine cup and said, "General An, I've had a good impression of you for a long time, and as expected, you're a great person. Your friend is generous and open-minded. Come, come, let's drink to our friendship. I'll drink on behalf of the two of you, and I thank you for your kindness."
He then drained his cup in one gulp.
An Ruoxing's face turned bitter. "Cough, cough... Okay... I guess."
It was already given away, and with so many witnesses, it couldn't be taken back.
This was his sister's heirloom, her favorite possession in life, and it was said that it was given to her by that person.
Finally, he sighed in his heart.
It's given away, let it be. Anyway, every time he saw it, he wanted to smash it.
But he didn't want to explain how he got it.
An Ruoxing rolled his eyes and said, "We've been friends for a long time. If I didn't like you, we wouldn't be friends. You old fool, stop talking nonsense."
Then he glared and asked, "Who are you calling a tightfisted old man?!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
After finishing the wine, An Ruoxing returned home, opened the cabinet, and stood there in a daze for a long time, eventually letting out a long sigh.
His eyes gradually became sharp, revealing a deep-seated hatred.
"Yin Shengong, do you know why my sword is called the Sword of Divine Slaying?"
An Ruoxing took a deep breath, drew his sword from its sheath, and gently wiped it, his gaze intense and focused. "In this life, I will definitely kill you and avenge my sister!"
The sword's blade was cold and clear, reflecting his sister's gentle face and sorrowful eyes.
An Ruoxing felt as if he had been suddenly pricked by a needle, causing a sharp pain. He lowered his head and let out a muffled roar.
"Yin! Sheng! Gong!"
...
Fang Che and Ye Meng returned to their room, and they both glanced at each other.
Fang Che took out the jade pendant given by An Ruoxing, and Ye Meng removed the pearl necklace from her neck. When they put them together, they formed a complete set. This was the true meaning of 'pearls linked together'.
They couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.
Ye Meng thought to herself, "Could it be a coincidence? There must be something going on here. This matter needs to be reported."
Fang Che thought, "No wonder Yin Shengong's mood suddenly changed when he heard An Ruoxing's name, and he even seemed depressed for several days. Now it seems that these two have a secret affair."
"Keep it safe for now. We'll talk more when we return to Scholar's Residence."
Ye Meng nodded and put the pearl necklace back on her neck. She then threaded the jade pendant onto a rope and hung it on Fang Che's chest, smiling as she said, "Now it's a complete set."
Fang Che couldn't help but feel his heart warming up. "Should we... Are your relatives gone?"
Ye Meng shook her head vigorously like a rattle drum. "No... We can't do this... We can't. Tomorrow we have to travel back to headquarters."
Ye Meng was determined.
The seven-person team traveled in silence.
Fang Che and Ye Meng, on the other hand, were like a loving couple on a honeymoon, their affection for each other evident to all.
The Martial Marquis and Martial Emperor champions couldn't help but feel envious, jealous, and resentful.
The most satisfying thing in life is to have a beautiful companion, to know each other's hearts, to travel the world together, to explore the rivers and lakes, to witness the sunrise and sunset, and to experience the mortal world together.
Fang Che had achieved this.
As for themselves... Sigh, they had witnessed it.
The journey from the Southeast Headquarters to the Guardian Headquarters was safe and sound.
They crossed the White Water River, passed through Crimson Peak Canyon, waded through Gourd Plain, crossed the Sevenfold Mountains, traversed the Beast Forest, and finally reached the Rainbow River...
The further they went, the more prosperous and bustling the cities became.
From the impoverished and tattered border regions, the landscape gradually transformed into a sight of prosperity, where everyone was dressed in clean and elegant attire, even those who appeared poor.
Each person's face was filled with smiles.
Numerous small cities were under construction, and vast fields of green nurtured life and hope.
It was already May.
The grass grew lush, and the mountains were a verdant green.
Even the air was filled with the fresh scent of vitality.
Walking in the fields of hope, Fang Che felt a sense of awe.
Indeed, even the lives of ordinary people near the high-level central area were significantly improved, and the sense of happiness was strong.
"If the entire world could be like this, how wonderful it would be."
Fang Che sighed in his heart, filled with anticipation.
...
Straight roads crisscrossed in all directions, and beside one of them, a horse-drawn carriage galloped at breakneck speed, with barely any bumps felt inside.
"Ahead is Three Rivers City, and beyond it, after a long stretch, lies the headquarters in Rocky City."
A day and a half later, An Ruoxing pointed to the distance, where a large city could be faintly seen atop the clouds.
It shone with a golden brilliance, reflecting the sunlight.
Ye Meng widened her eyes in surprise, thinking that the super-large city before her was Rocky City, but she never expected it to be otherwise.
Not only her, but Fang Che was also taken aback.
Poor Fang Zong had lived two lives and had never been to the headquarters.
Always struggling and fighting in the wilderness, he occasionally entered slightly larger cities and felt amazed: "Wow! These cities are so prosperous, and the legendary Rocky City is probably no better than this?"
The saying, "Two lives as a country bumpkin," perfectly described Fang Zong.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have believed that Eastern Military Advisor was using a golden hoe.
Old Shen said, "Don't be fooled by the size of these cities. Inside, there are many wealthy, influential, and powerful people, and those with high cultivation are everywhere. The major families stand tall, but there are rarely any of those legendary wastrel sons who oppress men and women."
An Ruoxing smiled faintly and said, "They've all been taught a lesson. If they provoke someone they can't afford to offend, their entire family will suffer. Generations of effort can be destroyed in an instant. Who dares to act recklessly?"
Fang Che curiously asked, "Can it be this peaceful?"
In his heart, he thought that if it were truly this peaceful and kind, it wouldn't be in vain for the generations of Guardians who had shed their blood. He couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
Zhao Shanhe's face darkened, and he said, "Let's hurry. We'll go into the city and have a meal. From here to the headquarters, it's still a long way, even if we ride until our horses die."
"Okay."
The seven of them quickly moved towards the city gate.
From a distance, they suddenly heard the sound of galloping hooves.
The group's faces changed, and their brows furrowed: "So urgent? So fast?"
Then, they saw a team of ten pure white horses, charging out of the city gate at full speed without slowing down.
The horses were all of the same color, and there were ten of them, each incredibly majestic.
Ten young men in splendid attire emerged, laughing as they rode out.
They were fearless, dressed in fine clothes and riding spirited horses.
A large group of guards followed behind them.
The pedestrians on the road were startled and quickly made way. A woman holding a child was a little slow in moving aside, and a whip struck her, drawing a deep bloodstain on her delicate face. She dared not speak up in anger.
Old Shen's face darkened.
He had just said that there wouldn't be any wastrel sons in these cities, but the next moment, a group of them appeared!
It was as if they were specifically trying to slap him in the face.
...
As Old Shen felt displeased, the horse team charged like a whirlwind across the continent, getting closer and closer, and the two groups were about to meet head-on.
The leading young man caught sight of Ye Meng, who was like a fairy pearl, and his eyes lit up. He laughed, pulled the reins hard, and his horse neighed as he stood up.
Surprisingly, seven out of the ten young men did the same.
Then they stopped.
Several young men dismounted, their strides confident and graceful. They walked over with a carefree and handsome demeanor.
Their robes were made of expensive materials, indicating their wealth, power, and martial prowess.
Their target was clear: Ye Meng!
Zhao Shanhe, An Ruoxing, and Old Shen's faces darkened collectively.
As old veterans of the martial world, they could tell what these young men were up to.
Fang Che's voice carried a hint of killing intent as he said, "Indeed, there are many new things happening at the feet of the Guardian Headquarters."
His words were filled with murderous intent.
The killing intent had arisen!
For these seven young men, Fang Che didn't give them the slightest bit of attention.
Indeed, they were undoubtedly from prominent families, and their backgrounds were probably quite impressive.
If Fang Che were to compare his background with theirs, he wouldn't even be worth mentioning. But... Fang Zong was currently the shared treasure of both the righteous and evil paths in this entire world.
Who was he afraid of?
The leading young man's eyes were filled with astonishment as he looked at Ye Meng beside Fang Che, not even glancing at Zhao Shanhe. It seemed that in his eyes, there was no room for anything other than beauty.
He had never seen such a beautiful woman.
She was like a heavenly beauty, unparalleled in the world.
It must be said that Ye Meng was already a stunning beauty, and after such a long time, she first cultivated herself, gradually refining her meridians and strengthening her bones. She experienced various cultivation levels.
Then, Fang Che used the Boundless Dharma Scripture to circulate her meridians daily, and her body became a perfect physique.
She also took the pills sent by Dong Fang Sansan.
She ate the Yin-Yang Fruit given by Xue Fuxiao.
Then, she carried the Heaven's Heart Jade from Yin Shengong with her at all times, constantly purifying her body.
Now, whether it was her skin, appearance, temperament, or any other aspect, she was several times more beautiful than when she was a little girl.
Cough, not to mention the constant nourishment from Fang Zong.
From the inside out, she exuded an extraordinary and elegant aura.
Even in Rocky City, where the Guardian Headquarters was located, she would be among the top in terms of appearance.
In the mortal world, amidst the muck and mire,
Pure as the azure sky above;
Like an orchid wrapped around a jade tree,
A celestial maiden descends upon the mortal realm.
"Fair lady, may I inquire about your esteemed surname and name? I am Zhu Qiyun, a member of the Zhu family from Three Rivers City. I'd like to befriend you."
This young master Zhu had a handsome face, a tall and slender figure, and a rather pleasing appearance.
Ye Meng paid him no heed, her face cold and indifferent.
Fang Che stood with his hands behind his back, a smile that wasn't quite a smile on his face. A hint of gloominess shrouded his brows, and he said indifferently, "Young Master Zhu, the lady you want to know is my wife. We are already married."
His voice was icy cold.
An Ruoxing's heart sank.
Fang Che wasn't pleading or explaining; he was grasping for a reason.
Zhu Qiyun glanced at him sideways, and Fang Che's appearance seemed to startle him for a moment. Then, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes. He replied nonchalantly, "So what if she's your wife? What difference does it make if you're married? I just want to be friends."
Fang Che's face gradually turned cold, and he hadn't made a move yet.
However, the princes beside them, Wang Zi Fang, a Martial General, and Yan Sen, a Martial Emperor, both had malevolent Qi surging from their bodies.
Each of their right hands slowly rested on the hilts of their swords.
"Get lost!"
An Ruoxing roared, his seven orifices emitting smoke, "Zhu Qiyun, you better get the hell out of here! Don't bring trouble to your Zhu family."
Zhu Qiyun gave him a sideways glance, "Oh, I just wanted to admire this lady's beauty and get to know her. What's the big deal? I want to see what kind of trouble it could bring to my family."
The other young masters burst into laughter.
"What a joke, we brothers can actually cause trouble in Three Rivers City."
"Tsk tsk... Quite the audacity."
One of them even took a step forward, deliberately walking two steps towards Ye Meng, sniffing the air and revealing a dazed expression, "So fragrant... What trouble could there be?"
An Ruoxing was enraged and was about to take action.
But Fang Che moved first.
He knew that if An Ruoxing fought, it would only be a lesson. Then, he and his companions would leave, and naturally, they would flatten these families afterward.
However, Fang Che wouldn't allow it.
Such behavior, and they would get off with a mere slap on the wrist? That's too lenient.
He had an extremely fiery temperament, and such a light punishment wouldn't satisfy him.
Fang Che's hatred for the scum of the Guardian Continent was even stronger than his desire to kill the members of the Only Righteous Sect! When he saw people like this, he thought of countless fallen comrades who had fought and bled, their bones buried in the wilderness!
He had given everything for this continent, but not to protect such garbage.
So many people, in broad daylight, dared to approach and ask for an introduction. You've been told that she's someone else's wife, and yet you still ask, 'So what if she's your wife? What difference does it make if you're married?'
Fang Che wanted them to understand the consequences of those words.
Let them know what it means to mess with his wife! Being married doesn't change anything! Moreover, Fang Che hasn't even established his reputation in the Yin Sheng Palace yet. Isn't this a contribution?
In other words, I'm still Night Demon. If the Yin Sheng Palace finds out that my wife was harassed, and I let those people off, then all my hard work in building my reputation would be completely destroyed.
Kill intent surged, and Fang Che's black cloak with starry dark patterns began to ripple without wind.
Suddenly, his right foot rose as if lifting a mountain, and he took a heavy step forward.
His body leaned forward.
"Roar!"
In an instant, boundless killing intent, malevolent Qi, and overwhelming aura exploded simultaneously!
A torrent of energy formed in an instant!
It was like a mountain-shattering tsunami, engulfing the two or three dozen people in front of him.
Suddenly, in the eyes of those before him, the sky seemed to collapse, the sun and moon lost their light, the world darkened, the gates of hell opened, and countless malevolent ghosts surged forth.
Their bodies seemed to have fallen from a sunny sky into the depths of hell.
And they were enduring the punishments of the eighteen layers of hell.
Their hearts skipped a beat, and they felt their bodies falling endlessly into an abyss.
In that moment, their livers quivered, their faces turned ashen, and their minds went blank.
The sudden eruption of malevolent Qi and killing intent startled both Zhao Shanhe and An Ruoxing, and they both felt a sudden chill run down their spines.
Their hairs stood on end.
Even Zhao Shanhe and An Ruoxing were affected, let alone those at the forefront...
The once brightly dressed youths now had faces as pale as corpses, and they collapsed on the ground.
Most of them soiled themselves, the ground turning yellow and white, several of them staring blankly, their pupils completely dilated, driven insane by fear.
Even the guards behind them had turned pale.
The ten white horses lay on the ground, trembling.
Even Xue Wanshi, a Martial Scholar, couldn't withstand Fang Che's peak Martial General power back then, let alone Fang Che, who was now at the King Rank.
Not to mention that these guys were far inferior to Xue Wanshi.
...
Zhao Shanhe, An Ruoxing, and the others turned to look at Fang Che, their eyes filled with horror.
With that roar, the ten people in front of them were as good as finished for life.
The damage from such a mental shock, causing their minds to explode, was irreversible. Even if there were heavenly treasures that could heal them, they wouldn't be used on wastrels like these.
These ten people could be considered done for.
"Too cruel."
Zhao Shanhe couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Fang Che, "You've made a mortal enemy."
Beside them, Elder Shen glanced at Zhao Shanhe in surprise.
Zhao Shanhe's words were filled with genuine concern for Fang Che.
This was completely out of character for Zhao Shanhe.
An Ruoxing stepped forward to examine the situation and returned with a helpless shake of his head.
He gestured that these ten people had no hope left.
Their divine souls shattered, divine perception broken, three souls scattered, and seven souls annihilated.
