Chapter 380: The People of the Heavenly Palace (Part 2)

This was unacceptable!

He pressed for answers.

"Aren't you from the Zhu Clan?"

"Don't you lack cultivation?"

An ordinary merchant? You've been deceiving me all these years?"

"What exactly does your Zhu family do?!"

"How does this involve Fang Che? Where is Fang Che?"

"Explain everything to me!"

"If anything happens to Fang Che, I'll make your entire family pay with their lives!"

Song Yi Dao's rage was uncontrollable.

This time, he had really stirred up a huge mess!

Everyone in the Zhu family was as still as statues.

It was such an uncanny coincidence, and their luck was so terrible, that their plan had backfired.

"Palace Master Song, please calm down..."

"Calm down? I have no connection with you, so speak up quickly. Where is Fang Che? Otherwise, don't blame me for issuing a Palace Guard Order and having the entire continent hunt down your Zhu family!"

Song Yi Dao's anger was like thunder.

The Zhu family members' faces turned pale. As they argued, Zhu Shaoyun, the head of the Zhu family, hurried over: "Palace Master Song..."

"Arrest them!"

Song Yi Dao gave the order without hesitation: "You're wasting my time! Go and capture them, and then torture them severely!"

Song Yi Dao's face also paled.

His heart was filled with anxiety, fear, and distress.

Where was Fang Che? Could he be dead?

"It's a misunderstanding, Palace Master Song. This is what happened..."

Zhu Shaoyun saw that the situation was unfavorable, and even apologizing wouldn't help. He began to explain, starting from Fang Che's entry into their home and the subsequent events...

Then, they wanted to teach him a lesson, so they naturally didn't mention the pursuit and killing. So, they sent out four people...

The two survivors then continued their story: "When Fang Che started running, we chased after him... We reached the outskirts of the city and lost track of him... We kept searching forward and heard some movement in a certain area, so we went to investigate... That's when we encountered the Night Demon."

"The Night Demon... We were fortunate that Fang Che created a distraction on the other side, drawing the Night Demon away, allowing us to escape... We only heard Fang Che fighting the Night Demon... As we approached the city gate, the Night Demon caught up with us again..."

At this point, the two survivors dared not hide anything.

The situation had escalated!

Someone had died!

And the Palace Guard Order had arrived.

The Night Demon had appeared, and it was related to the One Heart Sect...

Apart from not daring to mention the pursuit and killing of Fang Che, they recounted everything else truthfully.

Immediately, everyone started examining the corpse.

Indeed, it was the Night Demon's handiwork.

Killing without drawing blood, a single red mark beneath the sword!

Burning the Vital Point, shattering the Heavenly Spirit!

After hearing this explanation, Song Yi Dao's anger made his whole body tremble: "Your Zhu family, you're like tigers with their butts exposed! Fang Che came to investigate, and you dared to teach him a lesson? Hmph... How arrogant and malevolent!"

"Chasing and killing Fang Che all the way to the outskirts of the city, and you call it a lesson and discipline? At the critical moment, Fang Che saved your lives, yet you completely ignored him and ran away!"

Song Yi Dao's anger rose like a mountain, his eyes turning red as he roared: "Are you even human? Are you even human? Are you even human?!"

Even Zhu Shaoyun felt ashamed.

The earlier pursuit could be overlooked, but in the end, they relied on Fang Che to escape with their lives, yet they showed no concern for the one who saved them. This was too much!

"Take them all back! Interrogate them strictly! I suspect you are spies of the Demon Sect!"

Song Yi Dao issued the order.

The people in the Guardian Palace arrested and locked up Zhu Shaoyun and the others.

Although the Zhu family members possessed martial prowess, resisting arrest at this moment would leave them with no room for negotiation.

Just as they were about to be taken away.

Suddenly, Song Yi Dao's ears perked up.

He swiftly turned around.

In the night, a person was rushing over like a flash.

Dressed in a clerk's robe, with three gold stars shimmering on the collar, covered in blood, he took one look at the crowd and couldn't hold his breath any longer, falling directly from the air.

With a slap, he landed in Song Yi Dao's arms, blood splattering and spraying thousands of droplets.

Pointing at the outskirts of the city with his last breath: "Night Demon..."

Then he fainted.

This person was none other than Fang Che!

But he was almost unrecognizable, covered in countless wounds, especially around the throat, where over a dozen sword marks crisscrossed, severing his throat but not completely.

His handsome face was now a mess of blood and torn flesh, and one of the sword marks had nearly destroyed his eye.

One of his ears was clearly pierced by a sword tip and had suffered a backlash.

As for the sword wounds on his body, several had cut through the bones.

Moreover, a bloody red palm print was imprinted on his chest.

Song Yi Dao's heart burned with anxiety. He caught Fang Che and discovered that his Vital Point was empty, and he had reached the brink of exhaustion.

Quickly, Song Yi Dao infused Fang Che with spiritual energy, took a high-grade pill from his pocket, and forced it into Fang Che's mouth.

But Fang Che had lost the ability to circulate his own energy, so Song Yi Dao had to hold Fang Che's mouth with one hand and use his cultivation to circulate the remaining spiritual energy in Fang Che's meridians, dissolving the pill in his throat...

Feeling the pill dissolving into spiritual energy and entering Fang Che's body, Song Yi Dao finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Fang Che lay in his arms, his breath faint.

He could lose his life at any moment.

Anyone could see the severity of these injuries; they had reached an extreme point. These were fatal wounds, and no one would dare to fake them!

"Who has a spiritual pill?"

Song Yi Dao roared: "Bring it quickly!"

He had already given Fang Che his highest-grade pill, which had some effect but wasn't very noticeable. The injuries were too severe!

"I do!"

Zhu Shaoyun spoke decisively: "Palace Master Song, saving a life is the priority. Let's go to my place first and save Fang Che's life!"

Song Yi Dao looked at him with suspicious eyes, his impatience and murderous intent completely exposed: "Zhu Shaoyun, don't force me to kill you!"

"Never!"

Zhu Shaoyun felt guilty: "Fang Che saved my life. No matter the conflict, we owe him. Let's save Fang Che first."

"Fang Che is a figurehead under the Ninth Master at headquarters. If he dies, you Zhu family should know what the consequences will be!"

Song Yidao threatened sternly, "Hurry up and lead the way!"

Holding Fang Che's unconscious body, he felt a sticky sensation on his hands. Looking down, he was shocked to find two penetrating wounds on Fang Che's back!

"No wonder it's so severe... These wounds haven't even been discovered yet..."

Song Yidao felt a deep sense of guilt. He had been carrying Fang Che horizontally, and in his panic, he only checked the front wound, completely overlooking the two on the back, and they were fatal.

In a fluster, he poured two bottles of medicine directly onto the wounds, constantly urging Zhu Shaoyun, "Hurry! Hurry! Come on, stop pretending, I know you're an expert! Stop acting like you're paralyzed!"

Zhu Shaoyun had no choice but to fly.

The other Zhu family members, shackled and carrying the bodies, ran forward.

Dozens of people from the Guardian Palace also ran in a panic.

As they ran forward, the number of people from the Guardian Palace increased, all following in a frenzy, rushing into the Zhu family compound.

"Quickly bring the Life-Prolonging Pills! Hurry!"

Zhu Shaoyun shouted as he entered.

There was no other way; Fang Che's breath was growing weaker and weaker, and he seemed to be on the verge of death. If he died, the Zhu family would be finished.

At least, it would be over for White Cloud Island!

Song Yidao tightly held Fang Che, running while cursing furiously, "Hurry up! Fck! Come on, you Zhu family, I'm telling you... This debt won't be settled so easily!"

The entire Zhu family was in an uproar.

In an instant, the place was lit up like a festival.

The Lady Elder and others also rushed out, and upon seeing the situation, they were all shocked.

A Life-Prolonging Pill was placed into Fang Che's mouth.

Finally, Fang Che's breath stabilized, and it was only at this moment that his right hand, which had been tightly gripping a sword, loosened, and the sword fell to the ground with a clang.

Someone quickly picked it up.

Then they discovered that Fang Che's arm had been pierced through three times!

"Who did he fight... How did it get so bad?"

The Lady Elder also arrived, and upon seeing Fang Che's tragic state, she couldn't help but gasp in shock.

Although she also wanted to kill Fang Che to eliminate future troubles, when she thought of such a handsome face being slashed like this, she couldn't help but feel a sense of 'wasting heaven's gifts'.

Fang Che's breath stabilized.

Then they began treating the wounds.

Upon seeing the injuries, everyone gasped in shock.

"Night Demon's handiwork!"

Everyone began treating the wounds, while the experts studied the marks on the body, "This throat, this chest, this shoulder... These sword techniques and movements are precisely the legendary Blood Spirit Seven Swords."

"The slashes on the back are also from the Blood Spirit Seven Swords, but these two penetrations don't quite match..."

"Nonsense, they've pierced through, what are you talking about Blood Spirit Seven Swords..."

"The eyes, the face, the ears, all bear the marks of the Blood Spirit Seven Swords... Moreover, these wounds are deep at first and shallow later, which fully proves how rich Fang Che's combat experience is..."

"Not bad, when he was struck by the sword, he immediately followed the sword's movement, escaping the killing range, not giving the Night Demon time to gather energy, which is why it's like this; otherwise, it would have been even more severe."

"Injured like this, yet still managing to escape and return, with the vital point completely dried up, it's a miracle to be alive..."

"This is truly too dangerous."

On the other side.

The coroner also finished, "It's indeed the Night Demon's handiwork. Killing without shedding blood, a single red mark from the sword, shattering the heavenly spirit, and destroying the vital point; moreover, the technique is pure, and it's a fatal blow!"

The people in the Guardian Palace were agitated.

Yun Jianqiu shouted, "Fang Che's cultivation is extremely high, he's the number one King in the world! This has been acknowledged by the highest leaders of both righteous and evil factions! What abilities does the Night Demon have to injure Fang Che like this?"

"There must be something fishy about this!"

Zhao Ying'er stood guard beside Fang Che, her pretty face filled with tears, but her eyes were cold as ice, "What exactly happened? This matter must be thoroughly investigated! Not a single one of you can escape this, the Zhu family is simply audacious!"

The Lady Elder sat to the side, her face as calm as still water.

Two people had died.

After seeing Fang Che stabilize, Song Yidao also came over.

The Lady Elder had already questioned the two survivors, and her old face was filled with an expression of extreme embarrassment and guilt.

"What happened?"

Song Yidao's killing intent surged, "Lady Elder, if you don't give me an explanation for today's matter, Song won't care if the Zhu family has been the top merchant for a thousand years!"

The two knelt before the Lady Elder, their faces filled with shame.

"Haven't you explained it to Hall Master Song yet?" The Lady Elder angrily scolded, her voice like iron.

"I'm telling you, our Fang Che isn't dead, he'll be able to speak soon!"

Song Yidao raged, "If you're lying, I'll quit being the Hall Master and still deal with the Zhu family!"

The two knelt on the ground, their faces deathly pale.

These were the two men that Fang Che had seen during the day, among the four men and four women.

And the other two men had already been killed by the Night Demon...

"We... We..."

The two stammered as they began explaining, from Fang Che's arrival at the Zhu family to the unpleasant parting; they didn't even hide the fact that they had intercepted Fang Che...

But they changed the reason for intercepting Fang Che to it being their own initiative...

"We got angry... so... then we fought in the city, chasing all the way to the city walls... We chased him out of the city, and we shot down Fang Che's rescue rocket..."

"Four of us surrounded him, and Fang Che seemed to be injured, he even coughed up blood..."

The two finished stammering.

The people in the Guardian Palace were enraged.

"No wonder Fang Zhi Shi was so severely injured by Ye Meng... It turns out you all took the initiative and severely wounded him..."

Yun Jian Qiu's anger was palpable as he spoke, his eyes narrowing with fury: "You four Imperial-Rank experts surrounded Fang Zhi Shi... You directly shook him with your Spirit Energy! Although Fang Zhi Shi is a genius with rich combat experience, his Spirit Energy level is only at the Fifth Rank King level... You four Imperial-Rank experts used your Spirit Power to shake him..."

Yun Jian Qiu's indignation reached its peak: "And then you want him to hold off Ye Meng for you, while you only care about escaping for your own lives... Are you people from the Zhu family still human?!"

Over a hundred pairs of eyes filled with anger and disdain were fixed on the Zhu family.

Even the Elder Madam, who was like a stabilizing pillar, had a pained expression on her face.

Regardless of the circumstances, this incident was absolutely unforgivable from any perspective!

This was not a matter of personal grudges!

It was devoid of any human decency!

Zhao Ying'er's eyes turned red, and she clenched her teeth, reaching for her sword.

The sound of the sword being unsheathed halfway was abruptly stopped as Yuan Jingjiang pressed it back.

"Wait, Fang Zhi Shi's loss won't go unavenged. We can't act recklessly now. If we do, it will only give the Zhu family an opportunity."

"The Zhu family! Their crimes are unforgivable!" Zhao Ying'er said through gritted teeth, her eyes turning icy cold.

The situation was escalating, reaching a point where reconciliation seemed impossible.

The Elder Madam was at a loss for what to do. Despite her intelligence and resourcefulness, she had lost her composure and pleaded with Song Yi Dao, "Palace Master Song, may I have a word with you in private?"

Palace Master Song's anger erupted: "What's this about speaking in private? Speak here and now! If you have something to say, say it! If you have nothing, then be quiet!"

"To be honest, we are people from the Heavenly Palace!" The Elder Madam continued to transmit her thoughts.

Palace Master Song's face froze in anger.

Even his eyes seemed to freeze.

The Elder Madam sighed and continued transmitting her thoughts: "We are at a loss... Palace Master Song, the Heavenly Palace has a rule that no one outside can reveal their identity... This matter is indeed difficult, and we are willing to make amends. We hope you can give us a chance."

"..."

Palace Master Song suddenly felt a surge of rage, as if he had been played for a fool!

Damn it!

People from the Heavenly Palace!

These four words were truly shocking.

What was the Heavenly Palace? It was a place that even the upper echelons of the Guardian and the Only Righteous Sects respected and feared!

But how could they be given a chance? Fang Zhi Shi had suffered such a great injustice. He was merely carrying out his duties, and they wanted to kill him? Moreover, in the end, they used the very person they intended to kill to escape, leaving him behind.

Why? Just because he was a Guardian? Did that mean he deserved to die? Were the lives of the people from the Heavenly Palace so precious?

Palace Master Song felt like a volcano about to erupt, but he was restrained. However, the explosive force within him continued to build, becoming more and more intense.

He felt like his chest was about to burst.

Just then...

"Cough, cough, cough... Cough, cough..."

Fang Zhi Shi, who was lying down, suddenly started coughing.

Everyone's attention turned to Fang Zhi Shi.

After two coughs, Fang Zhi Shi spat out a mouthful of purple-black blood and began gasping for breath.

Zhao Ying'er quickly propped him up, placing his head on her lap, and carefully wiped his face with a handkerchief. With one hand, she held Fang Zhi Shi's hand and channeled her Spirit Power into him, disregarding her own safety.

Zhao Ying'er felt Fang Zhi Shi's Spirit Power beginning to circulate on its own, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

Before she could say anything, Fang Zhi Shi's eyelids fluttered, and he slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were vacant as he spoke: "I... am I still alive?"

"You're alive! You're alive! You're alive and well!"

Zhao Ying'er's joy was overwhelming, and tears welled up in her eyes, causing her to sob. Her voice trembled as she said: "Not only are you alive, but you can continue living. You're alive, waaah..."

Fang Zhi Shi's breathing was labored, and his voice was weak.

However, his reaction was genuine.

This time, although he was acting, he held nothing back and showed no mercy.

He had inflicted severe injuries, and this was the truth!

Of course, when he saw Palace Master Song, he once again channeled his power and shook himself, creating the illusion of being on the brink of death. This was something he couldn't reveal.

"Where... am I?"

Fang Zhi Shi's voice trembled.

"You're at the Zhu family's residence. Rest and recover well."

Zhao Ying'er spoke.

"The Zhu family?"

Fang Zhi Shi's eyes showed confusion: "How did I end up at the Zhu family's residence? They... they..."

He seemed to have reservations and hesitated to speak.

The Elder Madam approached: "Fang Zhi Shi has awakened. Go and fetch my Heaven-Reversing Pill quickly. My pill can fully restore Fang Zhi Shi's condition, but he's currently unconscious and taking it would be useless..."

Although Fang Zhi Shi's voice was weak, his eyes held a sharp glint: "There's no need for that."

"Go and get it!"

The Elder Madam's face was filled with a smile as she turned: "Hurry up and get it!"

In an instant, a white-robed girl flew off.

"I've heard everything from those two unfilial descendants..."

The Elder Madam's face was filled with guilt as she spoke: "Fang Zhi Shi, despite being wronged, holds no grudges. This truly makes us, the Zhu family, feel ashamed and grateful."

Fang Zhi Shi's voice was weak, but his tone was calm: "There's no need to feel ashamed. As a Guardian, my responsibility is to protect the peace of White Cloud Island. When I saw Ye Meng, I naturally had to take action! As for you... who you are doesn't matter... Cough, cough..."

He coughed again.

But these words, filled with their sense of justice and righteousness, caused everyone in the hall to show respect.
