It's as simple as that."

"Once your cousin reaches the Sovereign rank, I'll be able to sleep soundly without worries. At that cultivation level, the people he associates with will be of a higher caliber. People of such caliber share a common trait—they're intelligent and think things through thoroughly."

"As long as they think things through, they'll undoubtedly consider me. Even if they try to scheme, they may be able to harm Fang Qingyun and the Fang family, but they'll also have to consider whether they can afford to provoke me, Fang Che!"

A cold light flashed in Fang Che's eyes, "By then, as long as I'm alive, everything will be safe!"

Ye Meng asked, "If it comes to that, will there still be people who dare to use their brains?"

"It won't take that long. Before that, I'll set an example to deter others. Once I discover something amiss..."

Fang Che revealed a bloodthirsty smile and said calmly, "If Fang Zhishi can't take action, Night Demon has no reservations. Moreover... I now have the resources to mobilize the One Heart Sect by ten percent!"

Fang Che's eyes narrowed, and he spoke indifferently, "When the time comes, a single strike will be enough to deter anyone within a thousand miles!"

Ye Meng felt a chill run down her spine.

She understood that Fang Che's words were not mere boasting.

If someone truly dared to harm the Fang family, it wasn't just about Night Demon's identity. Even the openly known Fang Zhishi would go crazy.

Blood would flow like a river, and it was absolutely certain that this would happen.

"So, you've been considering the family's well-being to this extent."

Ye Meng felt a sense of admiration.

"That's our foundation."

Fang Che sighed lightly and then laughed, "Do you really think my uncle and aunt don't know that I'm framing my cousin?"

Ye Meng pursed her lips and smiled, "My uncle is a shrewd person, how could he not know?"

"But even knowing that, they still go along with my framing and act accordingly. Do you think they're just trying to cheer me up?"

"No, they actually want to change my cousin's personality and approach more than you do."

"Yes!"

Fang Che laughed, "After all, my cousin will be the future head of the family... My uncle understands that with his current personality, even if his cultivation improves, he won't be able to support the family! As the saying goes, if you don't have the heart of a bodhisattva, you can't manage a family. In most cases, you need to be ruthless."

He smiled profoundly, "A good-hearted person can't support the family; they can only turn the family into a feast for the greedy. That's why my uncle has been suppressing him, to make him change."

"When someone frames you, and even your closest relatives don't believe in you, you have to consider why your own parents would rather believe your younger cousin than you."

"Where does the problem lie?"

"When Fang Qingyun considers things this way, he'll naturally understand a lot."

"Does he understand this now?"

"He's starting to."

Fang Che revealed a smile.

He now felt that as long as Fang Qingyun grew and improved his cultivation, the family's foundation would be secured.

The prerequisite was... that he didn't expose himself in any way.

If he could maintain his current balance...

...

After a day's rest at the Scholar's Residence, Fang Che once again transformed into the Star Commander in the evening.

The night was dark and windy.

The Star Commander, who hadn't appeared for over a month, made a grand entrance at the Tianxia Escort Bureau.

In the instant he appeared, the entire hall of young demons cheered in unison, "Commander!"

Zhou Meier, who had become much thinner, had tears welling up in her eyes.

She turned around to wipe her eyes and then faced him with a bright and cheerful smile.

"How are things at the escort bureau?"

The Star Commander smiled and sat on the throne.

"The escort bureau is doing well, and business has even expanded. Everything has been going smoothly."

Zhao Wushang brought out the account books, but the Star Commander didn't look at them. Instead, he instructed Wu Lianlian to put them aside and said with a faint smile, "Have you received the notification to return?"

"Not yet."

Zheng Yunqi said, "I don't know why, but the family informed us that this inspection is over, yet the notification to return hasn't come. Additionally, the headquarters has been busy with the Friendship Competition recently, so the family told us to wait."

"Okay..."

"Has anything unusual happened?"

"No, everything has been calm."

"How's your cultivation coming along? In the month since I left, have you been slacking off with the various examinations?"

"No, we've been even more diligent."

Zheng Yunqi became excited when talking about this, "Now, out of the six hundred people, the majority have broken through to the Martial Marquis level."

"What about the Code of Conduct?"

"We've mastered it thoroughly!"

The crowd answered confidently.

"Not bad."

The Star Commander said indifferently, "Since you're so confident, tomorrow's examination will be all day. Notify those who are outside to return. If you're not qualified, don't blame me for turning the Eighteen Levels of Hell into six hundred levels!"

"That won't happen!"

The crowd was brimming with confidence.

"Commander, what task are you going to execute?"

"Yes, I'm going on a task and also handing out a few other tasks."

The Star Commander smiled faintly, speaking vaguely to gloss over the details.

"Is it dangerous?"

Zhou Meier gathered her courage and asked.

"It's very relaxed, just like sightseeing."

"Oh."

Zhou Meier let out an 'oh' and then lowered her head, remaining silent.

"There's another matter. The Mountain Mover Sect was suppressed by the Guardians, and it's said that the entire mountain gate was destroyed. Over ten thousand people died, and they're currently in the process of rebuilding."

Zheng Yunqi added, "Moreover, the Mountain Mover Sect sent people to our Escorts, expressing their strong support."

"Oh?"

The Star Commander frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Could it be that the Ninth Lord took action against the Mountain Mover Sect because of me?"

But it was certain that the Star Commander had taken action against the Mountain Mover Sect.

If that was the case, the Mountain Mover Sect should be safe from now on.

Tian Wanqing coughed and looked at the Star Commander with some hesitation, "Commander, on this trip... you've gained quite a lot."

As soon as he said this, everyone suddenly realized.

The Star Commander's aura became even more oppressive, and his pressure intensified.

Zheng Yunqi exclaimed excitedly, "Commander, have you broken through?"

"I've barely broken through to the Second Tier King Rank."

The Star Commander smiled modestly, "It's not worth mentioning."

Everyone burst into cheers.

Although the little demons didn't understand why they hadn't been informed to return, they could see that none of them were eagerly anticipating that so-called notification.

Being so comfortable here, doing whatever they pleased, why go back? The key was freedom.

Here, they lived like real people.

But no matter what, they had to return. The Star Commander was clear about this, and Zheng Yunqi and the others were even more aware.

Waving his hand to dismiss the crowd and letting them rest, the Star Commander sat alone on the dais, taking out a communication jade.

He began replying one by one.

Chen Yin asked, "Why didn't you participate in the Friendship Competition?"

Following the response given to Yan Beihan, he dealt with it casually.

The Star Commander asked, "Do you lack cultivation resources?"

The Star Commander replied straightforwardly, "Star Commander, I don't know how to respond to your question. Cultivation resources are always in short supply."

The Star Commander laughed, "Wait!"

"Okay."

Then, a message from Yan Beihan arrived: "Have you reached the Extreme North?"

The reply: "I'm already here, but I haven't found any clues yet."

"Then take your time and search. I'll give you a few directions."

"Thank you, Yan."

"After you return, find an opportunity to engage with Fang Che and gauge his abilities while ensuring safety."

"I obey, Commander."

Then, there were messages from Lei Jiuxiao, Lei Jiutian, and Han Jian, all of which were simple greetings.

But from Yin Shengong, there was a message: "Master, the Escorts will be transferred soon. Are the replacements ready on your side? We can send the first batch over."

Yin Shengong had just broken through to the Saint Rank and was currently drinking with Mu Lin Yuan and others, discussing the Night Demon's affairs.

There were many interesting things to talk about, and as they spoke, the four of them burst into laughter.

Upon seeing this message, they all smiled and said, "People are just so mischievous. As soon as we mentioned this guy, he sent a message asking for people."

All three of them laughed.

They all felt that after this incident, when the Sect Leader returned, his attitude towards the Night Demon would undergo another significant change, becoming even more affectionate and indulgent.

Yes, it was that kind of boundless indulgence!

The three of them completely put their minds at ease.

"Hou Fang, how are the people you're training?"

"They're ready to be deployed at any time."

Hou Fang assured, "I've trained them to the point where they're almost becoming gentlemen."

The word 'gentlemen' made Mu Lin Yuan and Qian Sanjiang burst into laughter.

"Have you obtained the identities of the Mountain Mover Sect?"

"Yes, we've obtained them all."

"Tomorrow, send two hundred people to the Night Demon, and then..."

"Sect Leader, Hai Wuliang hasn't been captured yet. If these two hundred people are intercepted by Hai Wuliang..."

"It's fine."

Yin Shengong replied indifferently, "We'll use these two hundred people as bait. I'll discuss it with the people at the Southeast Headquarters, and then we'll work with the Headquarters to see if we can completely eliminate Hai Wuliang."

"Good!"

Yin Shengong stood up, hands behind his back, gazing towards the southeast with a calm expression, and said, "Starting today, the One Heart Sect will go into hiding and cease all activities."

"Sect Leader, why is this?"

The three of them were puzzled.

"The storm is coming!"

Yin Shengong's expression was complex as he said, "This time, it's our life-and-death crisis."

"Any news?"

The three of them simultaneously grew solemn.

"Precisely because there's no news... that's why it's dangerous."

Yin Shengong sighed with a hint of melancholy, turned around, and raised a bowl of wine, saying, "All of you, drink this cup of wine. After that, you'll take turns to cultivate, striving to advance your cultivation. Especially you, Mu Lin Yuan, you've been at the Sovereign Peak for many years, and it's time to take the next step."

Mu Lin Yuan's face turned embarrassed, "I'll definitely work hard, Master!"

...

The next morning, the Star Commander arrived at the Escorts and began the examination for the entire agency.

Meanwhile, the One Heart Sect's two hundred people, already at the Second Tier King Rank, quietly left the Protective Formation, taking a secret route to the Mountain Mover Sect.

The route was as follows: From the One Heart Sect to the Mountain Mover Sect, then changing clothes there, splitting up, gathering at a certain location, and then heading towards the White Cloud Continent.

However, on the way, they encountered an ambush by Hai Wuliang. In one strike, twenty-seven people were instantly killed.

The hidden experts immediately took action.

Hai Wuliang struck out and immediately fled, obviously having chosen his route in advance.

Over a dozen experts surrounded and pursued him, yet they couldn't stop him.

Hai Wuliang activated the Blood Burning Technique, turning into faint smoke as he flew, a malicious smile on his face.

Want to kill me? Hmph...

I'll become the bone maggot of Yin Shengong!

I can't kill you, but I'll torment you endlessly!

As he flew forward, a sudden sense of crisis arose. A sword light, silent and swift, approached, and the sword wielder was none other than Yin Shengong.

His face was filled with killing intent, and the Blood Spirit Seven Swords were fully deployed.

Sea Wicked's face was filled with terror. When did that bastard Yin Shengong break through?

He spat out a mouthful of blood, desperately activating the Blood Burning Technique and dashing away.

He didn't dare to confront Yin Shengong head-on. If they were entangled, a few moves would be enough for the encirclement.

Yin Shengong relentlessly pursued, emitting long howls as he chased, signaling his position.

Suddenly, howls echoed from all directions in response.

"Sea Wicked!"

Yin Shengong's tongue unleashed a spring thunder, shaking the surrounding mountains with a roar.

"Where are you going!"

Sea Wicked continuously spat blood, pushing the Blood Burning Technique to its limit, leaving Yin Shengong behind and getting further away. However, Yin Shengong was equally familiar with this mountain range, and although Sea Wicked was escaping further, Yin Shengong's pursuit remained unwavering.

They chased and fled like two shooting stars.

Under Yin Shengong's relentless pursuit, the howls from the four directions subtly responded, leaving only one escape route for Sea Wicked.

He chose a direction.

Sea Wicked, knowing that something was amiss, dared not change course.

Finally...

Sea Wicked abruptly stopped, his face filled with despair.

They had reached the peak of a sheer cliff. Before them, a cloud of red and white mist undulated, with thin black lines weaving through, floating and drifting between the crimson and white vapors.

"Soul Devouring Cliff!"

Sea Wicked's face was filled with hopelessness.

The mist of Soul Devouring Cliff was impassable. Once inside, one's cultivation would be rapidly eroded, and spiritual, soul, and consciousness powers would be swiftly devoured.

Even a Saint Venerable entering would face certain death! Now, he had been driven to the brink of Soul Devouring Cliff.

The sword wind was fierce, and Yin Shengong, accompanied by thunder and lightning, shot towards him.

Yin Shengong had no intention of talking. As soon as he appeared, he launched a thunderous lightning-like offense.

"Yin Shengong!"

Sea Wicked gritted his teeth and roared, launching a full-force counterattack.

On the cliff, the two demonic sect leaders clashed fiercely! But at this moment, Sea Wicked was no match for Yin Shengong. Although he desperately wanted to fight to the death, it was already too late.

His cultivation was originally slightly weaker than Yin Shengong's; now that Yin Shengong had just broken through to the Saint Rank, his momentum was like a rainbow.

During this time, Sea Wicked had suffered consecutive injuries, and his condition was far from his prime.

With Yin Shengong's growth and his decline, the gap between them widened.

Yin Shengong, firmly grounded and steady, knew that dealing with a doomed man didn't require him to sacrifice himself. Even a minor injury was unacceptable.

Within a hundred moves, other experts would arrive and begin their joint attack.

His sword gleamed, enveloping Sea Wicked.

His face was cold and ruthless.

"Yin Shengong, have you gone mute? You motherfcker! Bastard!" Sea Wicked cursed hysterically.

But Yin Shengong remained silent.

Two soft sounds, and Sea Wicked's thighs were pierced by a sword.

He desperately lunged forward, wanting to embrace Yin Shengong and roll down the Soul Devouring Cliff together.

However, Yin Shengong's movements were agile, and he effortlessly struck again, slicing at his lower abdomen. Blood spurted, and Yin Shengong's face grew increasingly fervent.

Sea Wicked, who had once been on equal footing with him, was now like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. A sense of extreme accomplishment rose from within Yin Shengong.

Sea Wicked's body continuously spurted blood, and from three directions, black-clad figures flew swiftly towards them.

Suddenly, Sea Wicked made a desperate move, summoning all his cultivation, and forcefully knocked Yin Shengong's sword aside. He charged forward, determined to fall off the cliff together.

"Yin Shengong!"

Sea Wicked, in despair, shouted, "In my next life, I..."

"Do you want to die?"

Yin Shengong flew towards him, delivering a fierce kick to Sea Wicked's back. The sound of cracking bones echoed.

Sea Wicked had already reached the edge of the cliff.

Yin Shengong let out a shout, and a sword light pierced Sea Wicked's chest, piercing through his front and back. Sea Wicked's body twisted, and he fell. Yin Shengong's wrist flipped, and the thirteen cold lights pierced Sea Wicked's back!

Sea Wicked, already in agony, fell into the mist.

Yin Shengong's hand didn't stop, and towards the direction Sea Wicked fell, he shot out over three hundred cold lights.

A loud rumble, and several thousand-pound boulders descended.

Yin Shengong, one by one, mercilessly smashed them down.

"Dying so quickly! You don't want to die in my hands!"

"You... you have a next life!"

Several experts from the Southeast Headquarters witnessed Sea Wicked being struck down the Soul Devouring Cliff. They were shocked as they watched Yin Shengong continuously throwing down large stones.

He didn't want to leave even a sliver of a chance.

A thunderous rumble, a thunderous rumble...

The mountains and valleys echoed with a deafening roar, like the heavens and earth themselves.

The stones rained down, hundreds of them.

Yin Shengong finally stopped, laughing heartily, his mood elated. "Hahahaha, Sea Wicked, if you truly have a next life, this Sect Leader will be waiting!"

"Hahahaha..."

The experts from the Southeast Headquarters and the Headquarters had all arrived. They were all deeply shaken.

As fellow sect leaders, Yin Shengong and Sea Wicked, where did this deep-rooted hatred come from?

"Congratulations, Sect Leader Yin, for eradicating a heart-devouring calamity."

The crowd bowed, "It's all thanks to everyone's assistance. Sect Leader Yin dares not take credit. Congratulations to everyone for completing the task."

Yin Shengong's mood was greatly soothed, and he readily shared the credit.

"Working together, we've eliminated this traitor. Sect Leader Yin, your contribution is immense! Thank you, Sect Leader Yin."

The crowd didn't decline the praise. After all, this was their task.

Whether the task was completed or not, and how it was completed, would greatly impact their standing upon return.

"Sea Wicked has already been dealt with. Everyone has worked hard. Please follow me back, and let Sect Leader Yin express his gratitude as a host."

"It's unnecessary. We've been out for a while. If we stay any longer, the longer we stay, the more unfavorable the evidence becomes."

The crowd smiled, "Sect Leader Yin, we bid you farewell."

"Then, I'm sorry for troubling you all for so long..."

"No need to be polite. We had our chance, and we took it."

The crowd bowed, "Farewell."
