Chapter 357: The Peak of Righteousness and Evil (Part 2)

.."

Fang Che's expression turned solemn.

It was this old man!

One man stands against the tide, calming the waves of ten thousand demons;

Soul Severing Axe, stirring the turbid waves;

Fear not the blood and carnage,

For the Blue Sky White Cloud Flag will prevail.

Soul Severing Axe, Yu Tian Qi! According to legend, during the ancient battle between good and evil, when the Guardians were on the brink of defeat, the two Vice-Leaders of the Only Righteous Sect led thousands of high-level experts in relentless pursuit. At a critical moment, Yu Tian Qi arrived.

At Black Wind Mountain Pass, he single-handedly blocked the pursuers with his axe.

It was a true display of one man holding the pass against ten thousand enemies.

During that battle, Yu Tian Qi fought alone against the two Vice-Leaders of the Only Righteous Sect and severely injured Xiang Bei Dou.

This directly led to Xiang Bei Dou's loss of prestige, and later, to prove himself, he joined the Cloud Sword Spectrum as a Vice-Leader. He climbed to the ninth rank but mysteriously stopped there.

Xiang Bei Dou became the highest-ranked member of the Only Righteous Sect on the Cloud Sword Spectrum.

Overlord Whip, Xiang Bei Dou.

In that battle, Yu Tian Qi slaughtered hundreds of demons, his body covered in wounds, yet he didn't retreat a single step until Xue Fuxiao arrived to rescue him, and they finally left together.

After that battle, the once-unknown Black Wind Mountain Pass became a holy land on the continent! The Blue Sky White Cloud Flag prevailed!"

...

Up ahead, Dong Fang Sansan was talking to several elders from the Freedom Sect, "Please understand, it's been years since many of our brothers have seen each other. I want to chat with my brothers first, and then I'll talk to all of you later... I'm truly sorry."

"It's fine, Ninth Lord. You go ahead."

The powerful elders from the Freedom Sect also showed great respect. Watching Dong Fang Sansan's every move, they were deeply moved.

Dong Fang Sansan smiled and apologized, then continued chatting with the elders, calling out each of their names and waving or smiling at those outside.

Countless elders shed tears like rain.

Ninth Lord was still the same Ninth Lord!

Even though he knew the importance the Freedom Sect's higher-ups placed on the Guardians, he still chose to talk to his disabled and seemingly useless old friends first.

Seeing them today filled him with contentment.

Finally, Dong Fang Sansan stepped onto the viewing platform. He took the first step but then stepped back, turned around, and faced the countless white-haired, frail, and severely injured retired Guardians. Seeing their earnest gazes, Dong Fang Sansan bowed deeply.

"Ninth Lord..." Voices choked with emotion rose from below.

"Brothers, live on, and keep watching."

Dong Fang Sansan's voice resonated, and with a wave of his hand, he pointed to the vast horizon and said softly, "The continent will never forget you! It will always remember that you are the Guardians!"

"Don't take life and death lightly, live on..."

Dong Fang Sansan's eyes filled with emotion: "...You must keep me company in this mortal world."

"Think about it, if all of you brothers were gone, how lonely would I be?"

He understood why these people had come—to see him, to fulfill their long-held wishes, to take advantage of their remaining strength and fight on the front lines, to shed their blood on the battlefield.

It would be a worthy end to their lives as Guardians.

They didn't want to waste their skills and die in the mountains.

But Dong Fang Sansan wouldn't allow it.

His heartfelt words resonated with the crowd, and many retired Guardians had tears in their eyes.

"We're willing to accompany Ninth Lord in this mortal world!"

"Good. But remember your promise."

Dong Fang Sansan smiled.

The crowd also smiled through their tears, "We will remember!"

Dong Fang Sansan laughed, "Come, sit down. Let's watch our younger generation fight."

"Yes, Ninth Lord!"

Countless elders laughed, "The younger generation is even more powerful and majestic than us!"

At this moment, the leaders of various Freedom Sects began greeting Dong Fang Sansan.

Dong Fang Sansan smiled apologetically and chatted with each leader, taking his time.

Fang Che observed from the crowd, memorizing the order of greetings. The order was: Hall of the Netherworld, Azure Netherworld Palace, Snowflake Palace, Purple Robe Palace, White Cloud Palace, Illusion Sect, Freedom Sect, Stupa Sect, and Cold Sword Sect.

There were also some who hadn't arrived, but even with these, Fang Che had a lot to process.

Cold Sword Sect was at the bottom of the list among these sects.

Although it was still higher than those not qualified to be there, like the Mountain Moving Sect, it wasn't considered too high among the top-tier sects.

"Why are there so many Freedom Sects?"

Fang Che muttered.

Feng Xiangdong explained in a low voice, "The ones here are only half of the top-tier Freedom Sects. I heard there's a sect called the Heavenly Palace that never participates in such events. They look down on them."

"Heavenly Palace?" Fang Che frowned.

He vaguely remembered the name, thinking it was a place for immortals, but he never imagined it was a sect in the mortal world.

"Yes, the Heavenly Palace. It's said that during the Guardians' most critical moment, Ninth Lord requested help from the Heavenly Palace, but they didn't budge. In desperation, Ninth Lord cut off all mortal supplies to the Heavenly Palace. Snow Lord and several experts stopped fighting and sealed off the Heavenly Palace, killing anyone who tried to enter or leave."

"Ninth Lord resolutely declared: If the mortal world is to be destroyed, then let's lock ourselves in and have a good fight. If you don't fight, I'll take you down with me!"

"Later, due to the situation, the Heavenly Palace's war faction pleaded to join the battle. They sent three thousand top-tier swordsmen to aid the Guardians, repelling the Only Righteous Sect's crazed attack."

But due to the late arrival of the Heavenly Palace, Ninth Lord was forced to lose control over some of the charts, leaving only the Cloud Sword Spectrum.

"Originally, there were the Cloud Youth Chart, Cloud Beauty Chart, Cloud Saint Chart, Cloud Supreme Chart, Cloud Assassin Chart, Cloud Devil Chart, and Cloud Hunt Chart... All of them became useless."

Feng Xiang Dong sighed softly, "That time, for the sake of preserving the continent, Ninth Lord lost too many weapons that could be used for strategizing."

Fang Che felt a surge of anger rising in his heart.

It rushed straight to his forehead.

He exclaimed indignantly, "Isn't the Heavenly Palace in the Mortal World?"

"The Heavenly Palace has its own system... And after that incident, they sealed off the original passage, becoming even more secretive."

Feng Xiang Dong sighed.

Fang Che fell silent.

His eyes flickered, and no one knew what he was thinking.

...

Among the participants in the competition area, only twenty-seven people, including Ye Meng, had already taken their seats on the viewing platform.

Behind Ye Meng and the others, in the tightly packed crowd, four people were quietly hidden—none other than Mo Gan Yun and his group.

In the crowd at the edge, a thin figure was concealed, almost invisible. It was Ding Jie Ran.

They had arrived half a day early.

They also saw Fang Che and the others, but they couldn't greet them.

They were now part of an absolute secret force and couldn't be exposed. Especially for Mo Gan Yun's group, if the Only Righteous Sect discovered the purple aura on their bodies, it would be a huge disaster.

While greetings were being exchanged enthusiastically on this side, on the other side, numerous people were also gathering—these were the members of the Only Righteous Sect, equally packed.

Regarding the lively atmosphere on this side, they remained silent, merely observing with cold eyes.

Both sides gathered on a platform, and the obvious hostile stance was incredibly intense.

The two sides' auras were incompatible; if it weren't for the important event today, just this gathering of people would have likely resulted in a battlefield of corpses and rivers of blood.

Amidst the chaotic voices of the crowd...

Xue Fuxiao and the others suddenly frowned, looking up at the distant sky.

Not long after.

A small black dot appeared on the horizon, visibly growing larger to the naked eye, and in an instant, it reached above the platform.

It was a thousand-foot-tall flying ship.

Majestic and domineering, its entire body was pitch-black, with two large characters on it: Only Me!

On the other side, all the members of the Only Righteous Sect stood up, their backs straight and their eyes filled with fervor.

The leaders of various World Outside Sects bowed apologetically to Dong Fang Sansan and the others, then headed in that direction.

They were obviously waiting to greet Yan Nan and the others, just as they had done with Dong Fang Sansan before.

Dong Fang Sansan smiled warmly, expressing her understanding, while Xue Fuxiao looked up at the sky. Rui Qian Shan, however, couldn't help but say indifferently, "Gu Chang Han, are you going too?"

Gu Chang Han, who had just taken a step forward, paused and turned back with a bitter smile, "Brother Rui, some things must be done for the sake of face."

Rui Qian Shan coldly laughed, "What about the blood of over ten thousand disciples, have you forgotten?"

Dong Fang Sansan sternly shouted, "Rui Qian Shan!"

Rui Qian Shan stopped, but he continued to coldly laugh.

Gu Chang Han's face showed a hint of shame, but when the elders of the Cold Sword Sect called him, he bowed his head and followed them.

Fang Che had already recognized Gu Chang Han; this was the person who had pulled him into his domain and was scolded by him.

Cold Sword Sect... Gu Chang Han.

Fang Che muttered to himself.

He seemed to understand why there were suddenly so many disciples of the Cold Sword Sect in the Guardian Pavilion.

But seeing the Cold Sword Sect go to greet the members of the Only Righteous Sect, Fang Che felt both understanding and sighing.

He could almost conclude that if there were changes in the future, this Cold Sword Sect would likely face a miserable fate.

In life and actions, being indecisive and inconsistent is the most taboo.

Your over ten thousand disciples were killed by the Only Righteous Sect, and they used this to establish their dominance. Several thousand disciples entered the Guardian Pavilion camp, and the sides were already clearly divided.

Even if you openly stand on this side, what can you do?

Why insist on maintaining this 'face-saving' act? Why get closer to your allies and still maintain a facade for your enemies? Once the flames of war rage, the Cold Sword Sect's fate will undoubtedly be tragic.

The cabin door of the black flying ship opened.

A thick black mist suddenly emerged, dense and unyielding.

With a boom, it hovered in the air.

Four large characters appeared, exuding a grand and domineering aura, unrestrained and arrogant, overpowering the world.

"East Governor of the Star River!"

Below, countless members of the Only Righteous Sect suddenly erupted in cheers that pierced through the clouds.

"The Supreme Leader is mighty!"

Countless people knelt in worship.

The sound of their shouts and cheers was like thunder in the sky, and everyone's faces were filled with fervor.

On the Guardian side, everyone's faces turned pale.

East Governor of the Star River.

Zheng Yuan Dong, the Supreme Leader of the Only Righteous Sect.

The person himself didn't appear, but just these four characters were enough to make all the members of the Only Righteous Sect boil with excitement.

Fang Che's heart was also pounding wildly.

Today, he truly witnessed the formidable might of a peak figure.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of fulfillment: "To live a life like this is truly worthwhile."

The four characters 'East Governor of the Star River' lingered in the air for a full breath.

Then, a black-clothed figure appeared at the cabin door.

His towering figure stood tall, like a pillar supporting the sky. Just by standing there, his boundless domineering aura spread through the air, even extending without hesitation to the Guardian viewing platform.

Arrogant and domineering, he was invincible.

"Greetings, Deputy Sect Leader Yan Nan!"

The crowd erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.

Yan Nan stood with his hands behind his back, his black-clad figure exuding a cold demeanor. His gaze was indifferent and disdainful as he glanced at the Guardians. With a casual wave of his hand, he descended from the air, stepping on nothing but air as if walking down a staircase.

His black robe billowed, resembling a formidable demon god descending upon the mortal realm.

Behind him, Bi Changhong appeared, and the crowd erupted in another wave of cheers.

Then, Chen Gu, Yu Han Yan, and Xiang Bei Dou followed, each making their grand entrance.

The disciples of the Only Righteous Sect were so excited that they almost lost their voices from shouting.

Their faces were filled with fervor, as if they were about to burst with excitement. No one could have imagined that so many top figures would appear together today.

It had been many years since they last saw more than three deputy sect leaders at the same time.

The memory was so distant...

Today, they were witnessing five of them at once, and this happiness and excitement had driven them wild.

Then, Duan Xi Yang, clad in a black robe and with a slender and cold demeanor, appeared, causing the crowd to erupt in the loudest cheers yet!

The Bone Fragment Dream Spear, the first-ranked expert on the Cloud Sword Spectrum!

"Elder Duan!"

"Elder Duan, you are mighty!"

"Elder Duan, Elder Duan!"

The crowd's cheers and applause grew louder and louder, and within their shouts, an endless killing intent and malevolent energy converged, as if the gates of hell had opened and all the evil spirits had rushed out.

They were about to hold a grand feast in the mortal realm!

Duan Xi Yang's expression remained unchanged as he floated out, like a demon god, leaving afterimages in the air before landing on the viewing platform.

Then, Yan Nan and the others strode forward with the bearing of dragons and tigers, heading towards the platform.

In response to the greetings from the various World Outside Sects' higher-ups, Yan Nan and the others merely nodded slightly and exchanged a few words, their demeanor filled with arrogance.

They then proceeded directly, in stark contrast to their politeness towards Dongfang Sansan.

It was clear that they didn't consider the World Outside Sects' members worth their attention.

However, the representatives from the various World Outside Sects maintained their smiles, unbothered by this attitude.

Yan Nan landed on the viewing platform, his gaze fixed on the opposite side. His voice, like a resounding bell, shook the surroundings.

"Dongfang, it's been a long time."

Yan Nan's voice resonated like clanging metal, and even his greeting was filled with a killing intent.

His first words reverberated through the air, exuding an overwhelming aura.

"Deputy Sect Leader Yan Nan, your charisma remains as impressive as ever."

Dongfang Sansan smiled faintly and stood up, clasping her hands together. "It's been a long time. I've missed you."

Yan Nan burst into thunderous laughter. "Do you miss me, or my head?"

Dongfang Sansan smiled and said, "Indeed, I've been longing for your head for tens of thousands of years."

Yan Nan roared with laughter. "Haha! In all the heavens, there has yet to be a person who can take my head! Has the Military Advisor Dongfang been disappointed for so long?"

Dongfang Sansan remained composed and smiled. "Why the rush? Facing off against you, Deputy Sect Leader Yan Nan, is one of life's great pleasures."

Bi Changhong laughed heartily and said, "Facing off against me is a pleasure indeed. What about you?"

Chen Gu also laughed and asked, "And what about facing off against me?"

Dongfang Sansan smiled faintly. "Today, you two seem to be in high spirits, even making jokes at my expense. Could it be that there's some good news? Why don't you share it and let me join in your joy?"

She paused in thought and said, "Whatever brings you joy must surely displease us. So, what is it? Today is the day of the grand competition. Could your joy be related to the competition?"

Bi Changhong and Chen Gu's auras instantly plummeted, and they closed their mouths, choosing to remain silent.

Damn, this guy is smart. We only said a few words, and he's already thinking negatively.

We can't continue talking to him.

Yan Nan burst into laughter. "Reuniting with old rivals and sitting side by side is also one of life's great pleasures. How can we not be happy? Dongfang, what are your thoughts on today's competition?"

Dongfang Sansan replied, "Our objectives are clear to both sides. Since everyone is here, we should all be able to achieve our desires."

Yan Nan thought to himself, Unfortunately, you don't know my true intentions.

He said, "However, with both sides' higher-ups present, don't you think the stakes are too low? It's not worth our personal attendance."

Dongfang Sansan became cautious, and her eyes narrowed as she spoke thoughtfully. "Deputy Sect Leader Yan Nan, are you suggesting...raising the stakes?"

Yan Nan smiled and said, "Indeed, it's too little. Since we are certain to win, I naturally want to strive for more benefits."

Dongfang Sansan narrowed her eyes and asked, "You are certain to win?"

Yan Nan declared, "Certain to win!"

Before Dongfang Sansan could respond, Xue Fuxiao let out a cold laugh. "Haha... You dare claim victory before the battle has even begun, Deputy Sect Leader Yan Nan. Your confidence is a bit excessive."

Yan Nan looked at Xue Fuxiao and asked, "What, you don't believe me?"

Xue Fuxiao replied, "I believe you, but..."

Dongfang Sansan interrupted, "Show some manners!"

Xue Fuxiao changed his words, "I believe you, testicles!"

Yan Nan narrowed his eyes. "Xue Fuxiao, you are one of the top figures in the world, and all you can do is talk big? I'm asking you, do you dare to raise the stakes? Do you have the guts?"

Xue Fuxiao snorted angrily and said, "You tell me, what are you raising?"

At the same time, Dongfang Sansan said, "No raising of stakes."

The two spoke and then fell silent.

Chen Gu laughed with profound meaning. "Between the two of you, who's in charge?"

Xue Fuxiao moved his lips but remained silent.

Dongfang Sansan sighed and said with a hint of helplessness, "Even if we were to raise the stakes, we should discuss it first. Moreover, there are experts from the World Outside Sects here to act as referees."

Today is the National Memorial Day. Remember the national humiliation and avenge the national grudge!
