Chapter 382: Man, Wolf, and Dog! (Part 1)
An Ruoxing's response put Fang Che's mind at ease.
He had been constantly worried about the safety of the Divine Elder and the others from White Cloud Martial Academy who were participating in the Southeast Battle, but without any direct communication channels to the front lines, he never received any news. Now, he finally felt relieved.
An Ruoxing quickly said her farewells and hurriedly left.
"Song Yidao, I'm heading home too," Fang Che said, seeing An Ruoxing walk away.
"Go ahead, and rest well."
Song Yidao didn't turn back, responding with a sullen nod.
When Fang Che turned to look, he realized that Song Yidao had already disappeared.
"Oh well, young people are so carefree and reckless," he thought.
Song Yidao sighed and began walking back, feeling as if his liver had swollen and his lungs had expanded from all the anger and frustration he had endured throughout the night.
"Ah... Guardians... When will we truly become powerful...?"
He gazed at the moon, letting out a long sigh.
"So frustrating."
He exhaled deeply, then inhaled, but his breath couldn't dispel the frustration in his heart.
"Could it be that the Heavenly Palace is truly untouchable?!"
...
On his way home, Ye Meng brought a bowl of hot porridge, "Drink this to nourish your body."
"Okay."
Fang Che took the porridge and finished it in one gulp, wiping his mouth, "It's delicious. Your cooking skills are improving more and more."
Ye Meng's face lit up with joy, "Then I'll make it for you every day."
"Alright."
Fang Che nodded.
"You should go to sleep early. I have some insights to ponder. I need to cultivate tonight." Fang Che gently hugged Ye Meng and said, "You've been waiting for me every night, it's been hard on you."
"It's fine. I'll go to sleep first then."
Ye Meng smiled contentedly and returned to her room.
No matter how late Fang Che returned, Ye Meng would always be there, waiting with the lights on, and she had already prepared King-Rank porridge with ginseng. Various spirit medicines that enhanced cultivation and nourished the body were skillfully blended by Ye Meng into a thick and delicious soup. After drinking a bowl, the warmth spread through his stomach, and the sweetness lingered on his tongue. The spirit energy surged, instantly dispelling his exhaustion.
Fang Che had told Ye Meng not to work so hard because he never knew what time he would return each day.
Ye Meng always agreed, but every time Fang Che came back late, he would find that she was still waiting for him.
Fang Che stopped asking her to stop, and all he could do was hug her and say, "You've worked hard."
Although it was just a simple phrase, he wanted her to know that her waiting throughout the night was not in vain.
Opening the cabinet, he took out a bottle of Heavenly King Pill.
He opened it and swallowed two pills.
Feeling the spirit energy merging with the medicinal power of Ye Meng's soup, he immediately grabbed two Divine Crystals with each hand.
Closing his eyes, he released the suppression on his Vital Point.
Having reached the peak of the Fourth Rank of the King Level, he had been suppressing his cultivation at this level for over ten days. Watching the misty vortex in his Vital Point continuously transform into cloud fragments, Fang Che felt a sense of accomplishment.
If he continued to suppress his cultivation, he estimated that he could maintain this state for another two to three days before breaking through to the Fifth Rank of the King Level.
However, Fang Che not only stopped suppressing his cultivation but also decided to take the Heavenly King Pill and Divine Crystals, fully engaging in the cultivation of the Boundless Dharma Scripture.
Suddenly, the colorless spirit energy in the air rushed into the courtyard like a mighty storm.
Fang Che's body formed a giant funnel, rapidly circulating the Boundless Dharma Scripture. The misty vortex from his Vital Point surged out, gradually growing stronger as it coursed through his meridians.
Slowly, all of it transformed into the energy of the Boundless Dharma Scripture.
The power of the consumed pills and Divine Crystals continuously replenished him, and the spiritual energy from the heavens, entering through his pores, was meticulously filtered.
A gentle whirlwind formed beside him, expelling the less refined spirit energy.
As the spirit energy grew stronger, each time it circulated through his meridians, the cloud energy in his Vital Point increased.
After thirty-six weeks of continuous cultivation, a mighty torrent of energy formed. His meridians felt slightly swollen, and the barrier of the Fifth Rank of the King Level was naturally loosening.
Fang Che controlled his cultivation, preventing it from breaking through, and continued to let the energy surge through his meridians, accumulating power.
Finally, as his Vital Point reached the brink of explosion, he released his control.
With a thunderous roar, the barrier of the Fifth Rank of the King Level shattered in an instant, like a withered tree crumbling under a fierce storm. The torrent of spirit energy surged into his meridians, completely opening them up, and circulated throughout his body.
This time, Fang Che discovered that with each cycle, the cloud energy in his Vital Point naturally increased, so he continued to cultivate.
The Divine Crystal in his hand silently turned into powder, and he immediately replaced it with two new ones.
By the time the eighth Divine Crystal had turned to dust, Fang Che finally stopped cultivating.
It wasn't that he didn't want to continue, but his meridians couldn't withstand the pressure anymore.
After a breakthrough, the body and meridians needed time to adjust to the sudden surge of spirit energy before attempting to cultivate further.
This was why daily cultivation, strengthening the body, and nurturing the meridians were so crucial.
After all, the human body was merely a vessel for spirit energy, which didn't inherently belong to it.
For example, when a person died, their spirit energy would disperse and return to the heavens, instead of decaying with the body...
Fang Che opened his mouth and exhaled a long breath, which extended ten zhang before finally dissipating.
Feeling the abundance of spirit energy within him, he lightly stepped out of the room and into the courtyard.
Dawn was approaching.
The morning breeze blew gently.
Holding the Gate of the Dark World, he gazed at the bright light of the Morning Star in the sky, and his recently enlightened state of mind was suddenly stirred.
The morning breeze lifted the hem of his robe, and Fang Che suddenly felt himself wandering in the boundless void.
In this moment, his heart seemed to be elevated.
The starlight shone, ancient and bright, reaching his eyes.
Fang Che suddenly recalled the first movement of the Supreme Nine Techniques.
It was a beam of light... piercing through the darkness of the firmament? Unknowingly, he had already mastered the Gate of the Dark World, standing erect with his spear, the spear intent surging with vigor.
At this moment, he had a distinct feeling.
He and his spear had become one, inseparable, even able to sense the joy and excitement of the little spirit, Gate of the Dark World, through his palms.
The earth beneath his feet was an extension of his body, and the sky above, with its clouds and winds, was a gathering of his energy. Malevolent energy and killing intent surged, filling the void.
With each step forward, he felt the courtyard, the earth, the trees, and the heavens and stars moving in sync with him! The spear intent erupted, unable to be contained.
With a low rebuke, the spear thrust out naturally, with practiced ease! The starlight of the morning star in the sky seemed to suddenly cross an infinite distance and land on the tip of the spear in that instant.
The spear thrust out with force!
In the vast sky, a bowl-sized, straight spatial black hole was pierced through the air!
The kind of annihilation.
The black hole extended straight up to a height of a hundred feet, without any curves or bends.
Then, the space around the hole began to crack like shattered glass...
Fang Che blinked twice.
After two blinks, the spatial black hole slowly disappeared, and the space healed.
Fang Che exhaled slowly.
The extreme satisfaction and excitement in his chest, resulting from thrusting the spear, to the extreme, about to burst.
It was as if his body had stretched to its limits, thrusting out a perfect spear, flawless and without blemish.
In this moment, he finally understood the feelings of the Supreme Emperor.
With such spear skills, even after practicing just once, he could sense the satisfaction of his soul.
No wonder the Supreme Emperor had defeated countless opponents!
Fang Che now had a feeling of 'I've conquered the world!'
This first movement was named "The First Style" by the Supreme Emperor.
Not to mention the other names, just recalling the names given by the Supreme Emperor made Fang Che's legs go numb.
What kind of ridiculous names were these!
When facing an enemy, I thrust out the first style? I must think of a better name.
After much contemplation, Fang Che decided on a name for this spear technique: "The Supreme Nine Techniques, First Style!"
With this, he was content.
Practicing repeatedly, he felt the spiritual energy within him.
Fang Che discovered an issue: After breaking through the second layer of the Boundless Dharma Scripture, he initially only felt an increase in cultivation, attack power, and combat strength.
For example, advancing from the second to the third rank of the King level, his strength could double, but after breaking through the Boundless Dharma Scripture, it tripled.
Moreover, it had a suppressing effect on any cultivation technique and spiritual energy.
Aside from this, he hadn't found any other benefits. But as he continued to cultivate, he slowly realized that with the increase in spiritual energy and the assimilation of the Boundless Dharma Scripture, there was a kind of resilience.
It was a resilient flexibility, not just soft and weak, but a strength within flexibility.
What surprised Fang Che the most was... the lingering effect of the Boundless Dharma Scripture after an attack.
Just like the spear thrust he had just executed.
After two blinks, the spatial black hole disappeared.
Fang Che's eyes lit up. This lingering effect, its persistence, made him feel there was much potential.
Thus, he began to practice tirelessly, focusing on this aspect.
A night quietly passed.
Sweating profusely, he took a quick bath, ate breakfast, and said to Ye Meng, "Hurry up and cultivate! Aim for the King level as fast as possible!"
Ye Meng was bewildered, "What else? Should I become a courtesan?"
Fang Che's face turned stern, feeling annoyed.
How could he allow his wife to become a courtesan?
He pulled her over and slapped her butt three times, "Stop talking nonsense!"
He left in a huff.
"I used to say this all the time, and now I get slapped for saying it once."
Ye Meng pouted, "Hmph... Men!"
Rubbing her butt, she tidied up and went to practice.
...
Fang Che arrived at the Guardian Palace and patrolled the streets as usual. When he reached the Zhu Clan, he specifically went in to visit and apologize for his rash behavior the day before.
He also asked, "Is Shang Gongzi still here? Wow, meeting Shang Gongzi yesterday truly opened my eyes. He is indeed a genius disciple from the Mountain Gate of the Outside World."
"Shang Gongzi is discussing matters with the Elder Madam."
"Oh, then I won't disturb them. Farewell."
"Please stay, Fang Deputy Hall Master. You are always welcome here," Zhu Shaoyun said sincerely, "The Zhu Clan's doors will always be open for you, Fang Deputy Hall Master!"
"Thank you, I won't be shy to cultivate diligently, and aim for the King level.
The atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
As Fang Che walked on the street, he couldn't help but praise Jing Xiuyun and Yun Jian Qiu, "The gap between people often lies in misunderstandings. With better communication, many problems can be solved. As long as we uphold justice and righteousness, many issues can be resolved amicably. It's challenging to make fewer enemies. Especially after this Friendship Battle, witnessing the geniuses of the Only Righteous Sect, I feel it's even more difficult. It's truly challenging!"
Jing Xiuyun asked, "Are the young talents of the Only Righteous Sect really that powerful?"
Fang Che paused, his expression turning solemn. "They are very strong. It's not just individual strength, but their overall power is formidable! For instance, we might have a few exceptional talents among us, but over there... they are all well-rounded and equally strong. On top of this foundation of strength, they also have numerous outstanding geniuses. This is a different kind of depth!"
"The road ahead... is long and arduous."
Fang Zong sighed sincerely.
Jing Xiuyun, Yun Jian Qiu, and the others couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence.
Yun Jian Qiu paused, then said, "With your cultivation, the Night Demon shouldn't be a match for you."
"Hehe... Speaking of this, you should also be cautious. The people from the Heavenly Palace can injure their enemies' meridians with their spiritual energy, rendering them unable to exert force. Be extra careful when encountering them in the future."
"So that's why! Damn the Heavenly Palace!"
...
"Master, the people from the Heavenly Palace are trying to kill me!"
Fang Che sent a message to the Yin Shengong: "They are from the outer circle of the Heavenly Palace. There were four of them, and I managed to kill two. Will this cause any trouble for you, Master?"
After a while, Yin Shengong replied nonchalantly, "If they wanted to kill you, and you killed them instead, isn't that how it should be? What's the problem?"
"But I can't get over the anger in my heart. They disguised themselves as wealthy individuals and hid in the White Cloud Continent. If they hadn't helped the Guardian Palace to kill me, I wouldn't have bothered them."
Fang Che said, "Disciple is here to inform Master. I'm about to take action. I'm going to wipe out their entire family!"
Yin Shengong didn't seem to care at all. "Go ahead and do it. Just be careful of your safety. After killing them, calm yourself down and don't let the killing intent get too heavy."
"Yes, Master. I heard that the Southeast Headquarters is currently suppressing us. Should I handle this side first and then go to help you?"
"You coming will only cause more trouble. With your current strength, which is like that of an ant, what help can you possibly provide?"
Yin Shengong sighed, "Just stay out of trouble and ensure your own safety. That would be the biggest help you can give me!"
"Master, please take care!"
"I understand."
Fang Che set up an ambush, leaving some precautions. After all... whether it's killing Fang Zhi Shi or the Night Demon, the Heavenly Palace wants me dead!
Yin Shengong put down the communication jade, feeling a bit of a headache. "The Night Demon has become more murderous lately, wanting to kill anyone he sees. Sigh... The last time I pushed him, I ended up provoking his violent aura."
As he spoke, he felt a bit of regret.
Mu Linyuan sighed, "This is inevitable. With the Five Spirit Toad on his body, as long as he kills someone, he naturally produces violent aura. Especially when he kills someone he believes he shouldn't, it's like unleashing his killing intent all at once, and there's nothing to hold it back. It's quite normal."
Yin Shengong sighed, "Today, this guy clashed with the outer circle of the Heavenly Palace... He wants to wipe out their entire family because they sent four people to kill him..."
Qian Sanjiang said, "The Heavenly Palace is targeting the Night Demon, so it's only natural for the Night Demon to fight back. What's there to talk about?"
Yin Shengong nodded, "That's what I'm saying. Killing one family from the outer circle of the Heavenly Palace isn't a big deal. I'm just worried that this kid will get carried away and expose himself."
"Rest assured, Master. The Night Demon can transform back into Fang Zhi Shi at any time, so he won't expose himself."
"Hahahaha..." The old demons all burst into laughter.
It was incredibly refreshing.
They felt a sense of relief for their initial unintentional actions.
Switching between different identities was indeed very comfortable.
...
That afternoon, Zhu Clan's compensation, as promised the night before, was delivered to the Palace Guard Hall without a single penny missing. Of course, this was only for the Palace Guard Hall and Fang Che's portion; the Southeast Headquarters' share would naturally be sent to the Southeast Headquarters.
Song Yi Dao didn't even bother to show up.
Fang Che personally received the compensation with a smile, expressing friendly intentions. After a harmonious conversation, the compensation was stored in the treasury.
The matter seemed to be settled.
Fang Zong also reminded his subordinates, "We must prioritize the bigger picture. Some minor grudges should not be held onto when faced with important matters."
...
Night fell.
Deep into the night, the sky was pitch black without a single star.
The upright Fang Zong, who had been educating people during the day, transformed into the Night Demon and appeared in the North City of the White Cloud Continent.
His body flickered like a ghost, appearing on the left and then on the right, as if floating in the air, he approached the Zhu Clan's mansion.
He then leaped onto the tip of a tall tree and fell into the Zhu Clan's mansion like a leaf.
Silently, he reached the rooftop of the main building.
Inside, Shang Gongzi, Zhu Shaoyun, and the Elder Madam were discussing matters.
All three of them frowned simultaneously.
There was someone on the rooftop?! The three of them remained calm and suddenly transformed into three sharp arrows, rushing up to the rooftop with a whoosh.
The Night Demon on the rooftop instantly turned into a black thread and leaped up, his sword flashing.
But the combined attack of the three was incredibly powerful. The Night Demon grunted and was knocked back like a broken kite.
"There's an assassin!
