Chapter 385: A Thousand Words of Trouble (Part 2)
"
A sigh escaped his heart.
With this order, it was as good as admitting defeat.
Once again, in terms of planning, he had lost.
The Head of General Affairs coughed and said, "But that's the Heavenly Palace..."
Yan Nan scoffed, "The Heavenly Palace is nothing! When the Heart-Severing Sword killed so many people, they still had to send someone to help the Guardian. They're typical bullies, and from that day on, I've never taken the Heavenly Palace seriously!"
He slammed the table and shouted, "Tell them to get lost! If they don't, kill them! They're used to their stinking habits!"
The Head of General Affairs wiped his cold sweat and immediately sent a message to Wu Xiang, "Deputy Sect Master Yan has ordered the people from the Heavenly Palace to scram! And I'm asking you, besides being at a disadvantage and losing battles, and being afraid of the people from the Heavenly Palace, what else are you good for?!"
Wu Xiang received the message and broke out in a cold sweat.
Yin Shengong's words were indeed not false.
Covered in cold sweat, I realized I was done for in Deputy Sect Master Yan's eyes... It had escalated to the point of questioning my usefulness.
With the Sect Master's order, his spine straightened.
Moreover, this woman had ruined my future. Anger surged from my heart, and my fury grew.
He went out and spoke firmly to Gu Yunlan, "Inspector Gu, I believe that since your Heavenly Palace made the first move, you should take responsibility. Your son made the first move but was killed in retaliation. In this matter, I can't help you. Leave, the Nightmare Demon won't be handed over to you."
Gu Yunlan was stunned. When did I say my son made the first move and was killed in retaliation?
But as he listened... Your Self-righteous Sect Southeast Headquarters is refusing me at such a precarious time?
I'm just here to ask for a subordinate sect's person, and you, Wu Xiang, after cooperating with me for two thousand years, won't even give me this face?
Unable to hold back his anger, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Commander Wu, are you sure? Sure you won't hand him over? Think carefully, can you afford the consequences of your decision?"
"I'm sure!"
Wu Xiang scoffed, but thinking about their friendship over the years and the possibility of future cooperation to achieve results and secure his position, he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair for his future.
So he restrained himself and advised, "Inspector Gu, to be honest, in this matter, it's really you who's in the wrong. Your son killed and was killed in retaliation, and now you directly demand the killer's life. This matter... It's unreasonable no matter how you look at it."
Gu Yunlan's voice turned cold, "No reason? Who's being reasonable with you? I'm just here to have you hand over the person, and since you won't, well, wait! I want your entire Southeast Headquarters to pay with their lives for my son!"
Wu Xiang instantly flew into a rage!
I'm also the Commander-in-Chief of the Southeast, and in this region, I'm like an emperor. No one dares to disagree with me.
Currently, we're already at a disadvantage in our battle with the Guardian, and now this.
As a result, he heard such words again. Your son killed and was killed in retaliation, and you still dare to demand my entire Southeast Headquarters to pay with their lives?
You've ruined my future, and when I try to reason with you, you won't listen, right?
You're shameless, aren't you?
Anger surged from his heart, and his fury grew. He raised his hand and slapped Gu Yunlan's face hard, making a crisp sound.
Gu Yunlan never expected Wu Xiang to strike, and her hair was disheveled as she covered her face in shock.
Her eyes shone with disbelief.
Wu Xiang cursed, "Fk! Get lost! Get the hell out of here! What the hell! Your son is a fool who killed and was killed in retaliation, and you come to threaten me? Have you gone mad? I wasn't raised to be scared by threats!"
"Get lost! Get lost! No matter how many tricks the Heavenly Palace has, I'll face them! Damn it, after so many years of hiding like turtles, they finally come out with their superiority complex? They've accumulated plenty of bad habits! To dare to be so arrogant in our Self-righteous Sect! They've gone mad!"
Wu Xiang cursed.
Gu Yunlan clenched her teeth, so angry that tears almost fell. Shivering, she shouted with a sob, "Wu Xiang, you wait!"
"I'll wait! I'm waiting for you! Do your worst!"
Since we've offended them, we might as well offend them further.
Wu Xiang's eyes turned sinister, "Damn it, just a mere outer region Chief Priest of the Heavenly Palace, yet he acts so pretentiously every day. Who the hell gave you the courage? Damn it... Get lost! If you don't, I'll kill you! You want your son, huh? Fk, I'll let you go and keep your son company!"
Gu Yunlan trembled, and with a whoosh, she flew into the sky with two guards. She realized Wu Xiang had murderous intent.
If they didn't leave now, they might really die here.
Once in the sky, she shouted angrily, "Wu Xiang, remember your words! I, Gu Yunlan, swear to heaven that I'll make you pay the price!"
A furious curse came from below, "Get the hell out of here! You're shouting on my head!"
Immediately, a large number of swords appeared in the sky.
Gu Yunlan didn't dare to be careless. Furious, as if her stomach was about to explode, she whooshed away.
Boom! Wu Xiang's sword energy missed in the air.
Wu Xiang indeed regretted it.
Regretting her failure to take action and eliminate this woman earlier.
Although their cultivation levels were similar, she didn't have much advantage, but this was her territory. With a single command, all the experts were ready to fight, and they would take turns to kill her!
Hurriedly preparing to unleash a sword attack, but Gu Yulan had already fled far away.
Unable to contain her anger, she cursed, "You bitch, don't let me see you again! You're too much! You're simply too much!"
Returning in a huff, she thought to herself, how could she change the bad impression she had left on Yan, the Deputy Sect Master?
Sigh, this Heavenly Palace bitch, she had ruined his grand plan!
...
Gu Yulan had completely lost her mind.
Before coming, she had considered all possibilities. But she never expected that what awaited her would be such an extreme humiliation!
Her face still burned with shame and anger.
The pain of losing a child, the extreme humiliation...
With these two matters weighing on her, Gu Yulan completely lost her rationality.
Taking out her communication jade, she sent a message to her husband, "Your son was killed by someone from the Only Me Orthodox Sect! Your wife was beaten by them too!"
After waiting for a while, almost flying to White Cloud Continent, her husband's message finally arrived, but it was so vague. "What happened? What about Meng Yun?"
This made Gu Yulan explode.
She only asked about her son, and about her being beaten, was he blind? Didn't he see it?
She was heartbroken, furious, and exploding with rage!
She sent the message with a flurry of taps.
"Shang Changzhen, are you still a man? Meng Yun was killed, and I'm here to avenge my son. I was beaten by the Deputy Commander-in-Chief Wu Xiang of the Only Me Orthodox Sect's Southeast Headquarters! Did you see clearly? Meng Yun is dead, Meng Yun is dead!"
Suddenly, her emotions surged, and she couldn't control herself.
She directly leaped down from the mountain forest, covering her face as she wailed in pain.
Her husband's messages kept coming, clearly showing his shock and urgency, "What happened? How could this happen..."
"Did Meng Yun really get into trouble? Where is she?"
"Where are you now?"
"At the Only Me Orthodox Sect's Southeast Headquarters?"
"I'll come to you right away! Where are you?"
"Where are you? Answer me!"
Gu Yulan cried hysterically, finally calming down. She picked up the communication jade, and saw that her husband, Shang Changzhen, had already sent almost a hundred messages.
"I'm at White Cloud Continent!"
Gu Yulan gritted her teeth, "Shang Changzhen, I will destroy the Only Me Orthodox Sect's Southeast Headquarters. I will kill the Night Demon. I will kill the Yin Shengong. I will kill Wu Xiang! I must kill them all! No matter what, I will kill them!"
"Bring more people!"
After a moment of thought, she added, "This time, as long as you avenge me and our son, I won't interfere with your taking concubines anymore!"
Shang Changzhen immediately replied, "I'm on my way!"
Gu Yulan's heart sank as she looked at these words, a smile more bitter than tears appeared on her face. She muttered, "You're so eager... As soon as you hear about taking concubines, you're ready to come."
The guards beside her dared not speak.
In their hearts, they thought, clearly, Shang Changzhen had been asking where she was, and she hadn't replied; now that he finally knew, he only said this.
This was completely different from the condition she had set for taking concubines, right?
But neither of them dared to speak.
The current Gu Yulan was clearly beyond reason.
Whatever they said, she wouldn't listen! The current Gu Yulan was indeed a madwoman.
"Let's go! Back to White Cloud Continent!"
Gu Yulan rose with a murderous aura.
"Wait for Shang Changzhen, that heartless bastard! I will avenge my son, no matter what! Meng Yun... You died so miserably... Wait, that damned Night Demon, I'll make him suffer a thousand times!"
"Mother will avenge you!"
"Wu Xiang, you bastard who deserves a thousand cuts, I'll never let you off! I'll never let you off, ah!"
She roared in madness, her voice like a hurricane across the sky.
...
White Cloud Continent.
Fang Zong watched as a group of people approached with a formidable aura, and soon after, three of them soared into the sky.
He sensed the impending storm, "Everyone, go back and prepare. It seems something big is about to happen."
The crowd also felt heavy-hearted.
After all, the son of such a prominent figure had been killed, and the repercussions would be significant.
So, they immediately took their leave and returned.
Fang Che, however, remained in the tea house, leisurely sipping his tea.
As expected, the inquiries from Yin Shengong soon arrived.
After dealing with them, he had a plan, "As expected, they're looking for trouble with the Only Me Orthodox Sect's Southeast Headquarters... Hehe, hopefully, a big fuss will be made."
Fang Che never imagined that the development of this matter would be even more ideal than his most ideal scenario!
Gu Yulan's actions directly led to a complete break with the Only Me Orthodox Sect's Southeast Headquarters!
It had even reached the point of no reconciliation.
Moreover, with the current war, White Cloud Continent was like a vacuum for the Only Me Orthodox Sect. Speaking of Fang Zong, the Night Demon, the Heavenly Palace, and the Zhu Clan, the situation was so complex that few could explain it clearly.
Furthermore, neither side had the means to communicate—this was naturally something Fang Zong had planned for.
As time passes and circumstances change, the outcome of this matter will be as I say."
Can you find someone who knows the details? "But this woman's speed is truly fast. In no time, she crossed such a long distance to reach the Only Me Orthodox Sect's Southeast Headquarters!"
"Is it because the distance is too close, or is the woman too fast?"
"If she's this fast, what cultivation level is she? It shouldn't be the Sovereign Rank, maybe the Saint Rank?"
Fang Che sipped his tea, originally wanting to wait for the follow-up.
But after waiting for a while, Gu Yulan returned.
His heart was heavy, could it be that this woman had hooked up with the Only Me Orthodox Sect's Southeast Headquarters?
With a heavy heart, he went downstairs to settle the bill.
As night was falling, Fang Che returned to the Guardian Palace and arranged for the evening shift. Then, he assigned Yuan Jingjiang to guard the palace that day, "You've been working hard these past few nights.
"Yuan Jingjiang was taken aback, "What are you doing?"
Fang Che was equally surprised, "I'm on my honeymoon... What are you talking about?"
Yuan Jingjiang spat, "Get lost!"
Everyone laughed.
It seemed that in the Guardian Palace, the Deputy Hall Master was truly turning things upside down, assigning tasks to the Hall Master with a sense of righteousness.
The Hall Master immediately accepted the task.
That laughter-filled 'Get lost' was the Hall Master's final effort to maintain his dignity...
But it was all in vain.
Everyone was laughing, even Yuan Jingjiang joined in, and amidst the laughter, he scolded, "What the hell are you all laughing at? With Fang Deputy Hall Master's cultivation, he's bound to become an official one day. I'm just preparing in advance, waiting for Fang Zong to rise so I can flatter him. What are you laughing about?!"
The crowd's laughter grew louder.
However, many also admired Yuan Jingjiang's foresight and thorough consideration.
Zhao Ying'er watched as Fang Che left with a carefree attitude, her eyes filled with resentment.
This guy, in a world where every capable man had three wives and four concubines, showed no interest in attracting women... Is he even a man?
But the more Fang Che acted like this, the more Zhao Ying'er felt it was rare.
And the more she couldn't let go!
Men like this were truly rare these days.
...
Just as Fang Zong returned home, Ye Meng set the table and served a meal, and the couple enjoyed a harmonious dinner together...
Gu Yunlan had already returned to the Zhu Clan Manor like a swift wind and raging fire.
With her troubled mind, within half an hour, she had killed over a dozen people from the Zhu Clan.
The entire Zhu Clan was silent, like cicadas in winter.
If it weren't for the fact that her identity as a member of the Heavenly Palace hadn't been exposed, the Guardian Palace could have come to investigate and uphold justice, even though it might not have been effective, but at least it would have shown some restraint.
After all, no matter how powerful a clan was, they still had to respect the laws of the Guardian Palace on the surface.
But now... The Guardian Palace had completely disregarded the Zhu Clan, treating them like a pile of stinking dog poop.
They didn't care.
Whatever happened, they didn't intervene.
The people of the Heavenly Palace were so noble, could they even manage the situation if something happened?
An hour after Gu Yunlan arrived at the Zhu Clan Manor, a team of several hundred people in white clothes arrived in the skies above White Cloud Continent, their auras fierce and intimidating.
However, this group of people encountered some difficulties.
A sword light appeared, splitting the sky in two.
It was the Frostblade Sword that discovered traces of other powerful enemies entering the White Cloud Continent, and after confirming this, he hurried back.
Just as this group of white-clad people arrived like wolves, the Frostblade Sword appeared, and he was immediately displeased.
"Damn it! I was only gone for a moment, how did so many demons and monsters appear?!" He immediately unleashed a sword light, cutting off the path ahead.
Then, a sword appeared, like a snowy mountain peak, blocking the sky, "Who dares to come here? Do you think this is a marketplace?!"
Shang Changzhen was almost split in two by the sword, and before he could recover from the shock, he quickly saluted, "Shang Changzhen of the Heavenly Palace pays respect to the Sword Elder."
Although he hadn't seen the Frostblade Sword before, he knew who it was as soon as he saw the sword light.
Even though he almost got cut in half, he didn't dare show any disrespect and sincerely greeted him.
He knew that the sword wielder didn't truly intend to cut him, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to dodge it no matter what.
The Frostblade Sword glared, "What are you doing? Are you from the Heavenly Palace? Rushing towards my sword like that, you almost broke it. Can you afford to compensate me?!"
Shang Changzhen sighed.
He had heard about the previous incident and knew that the Frostblade Sword didn't have a good impression of the Heavenly Palace.
He smiled and said, "How dare I, the Frostblade Sword is unparalleled in the world, I can only admire it."
He cautiously observed the Frostblade Sword's expression and said, "But I really have an urgent matter. My son was killed in White Cloud Continent, and my heart aches as if it were being squeezed. I was rushing on the road, and I accidentally bumped into the Frostblade Sword. I hope the Frostblade Sword will be magnanimous and not blame me."
The Frostblade Sword frowned, "Your son was killed? By whom? How did he die in White Cloud Continent? Why did he have to die in such an unlucky place?"
Many people say to me, don't read the comments, don't look.
I also want to, but I'm a reader.
I started as a reader, and when I wrote my first book, I basically replied to every comment.
Because I'm also a reader, I understand that an author seeing a comment means they've been noticed.
I was happy at first, but when the author ignored the comments, I felt sad.
I've been sad too many times.
Later, although I couldn't reply to every comment, reading the comments every day became a must for me. At least, I could see your intentions and opinions. How should I say it? I feel that this is the basic respect I, as an author, should have for you.
So for every book I write, you often see me in the comments section and the chapters, constantly debating, constantly discussing, and constantly arguing. For over a decade, I've been enjoying it. I don't want to become a cold, mechanical writer, a money-making machine.
I also can't ignore the majority of supporters for the sake of those who come to annoy me.
But this way, I might be annoyed. Haha, but it's okay, after venting, I feel refreshed, especially after scolding, it's so refreshing.
Web novels don't have gods, only authors and readers.
You respected me, giving up on free reading to pay; so I should respect you and the money you spent.
When I write poorly, I'll just take the scolding; when I write well, I still hope to see your comments and reading experiences. I care about this a lot.
...Come on, you forgot to recommend again!
