Chapter 398: Yan Han Arrives

"But now, the Dream Demon's True Spirit has entered the Night Demon's body. This situation... I fear the Night Demon's power won't be able to resist it."

Yin Shen Palace was anxious, "Even if we wanted to investigate, we can't do so while he's unconscious. We must wake him up first, no matter what..."

Yin Shen Palace continued to defend the Night Demon.

The Night Demon couldn't have any issues, and if there were any, they had to be resolved.

If the Night Demon had problems, it would mean that Yin Shen Palace would also be implicated.

Yan Nan nodded and said, "You may leave now."

He looked at the intelligence report, feeling a little dazed.

Currently, the Night Demon's issue had become secondary; the Dream Demon had entered Fang Che's body. How could this be? What was the Dream Demon doing?

As the person who knew the Dream Demon best, Yan Nan was aware of the Dream Demon's cultivation method and the peculiarities of his Demon Soul.

But what was it doing inside Fang Che's head? Soul possession was impossible. The Dream Demon could only reside in a body that was on the verge of death, and it couldn't possess a healthy body with a perfectly compatible soul.

So eventually, it would have to leave.

If that was the case, why did it enter in the first place? This coming and going would likely directly destroy Fang Che's Divine Soul.

"What is all this about...?"

As a member of the Only Me Sect, there was one characteristic that everyone shared: they never suspected that there were traitors among them.

It could only be said that they didn't do things well, that they didn't complete their tasks properly, but betrayal was impossible!

The existence of the Five Spirit Toad had deeply ingrained this concept.

Even those who suspected the Night Demon, like Feng Yun, and now Yan Nan, only felt that the situation was confusing; the Night Demon's actions weren't commendable. They even seemed a bit foolish, disregarding the bigger picture, and needed to be punished to set an example.

That was all.

Whether they were the other party's spies or had already betrayed the sect, they never considered this possibility.

But now, not only was Feng Yun confused, even Yan Nan started to feel a headache.

Because the Dream Demon's actions made even less sense!

What was the Dream Demon doing? It was all a mess! In comparison, the Night Demon's actions were insignificant—what was the Heavenly Palace to them? Yan Nan didn't care at all.

Even for Yan Nan and the other high-ranking Vice Sect Leaders, these secluded mountain sects were actually huge unstable factors.

If they didn't move, it would be fine, but once they did, there was a high chance of them joining the Guardian's camp.

This was obvious. Moreover, in the past, there had been countless examples, including the current Han Jian Mountain Sect, which was the same.

Although they were wary and fearful of the Only Me Sect, if they truly chose a side, it was highly unlikely that they would side with the Only Me Sect.

For the Only Me Sect, these were hidden bombs.

Yan Nan had just never had the opportunity to deal with them, but now that the situation was stable, deep down, he even wanted to expose and eliminate these sects one by one.

They were truly a hindrance.

Dealing with the Heavenly Palace first wasn't a bad thing. This was also the reason why Yan Nan didn't take it to heart—he was preparing to strike them!

At this moment, someone came to report.

"Intelligence from the Guardian's side has arrived."

"Bring it to me."

Yan Nan, deep in thought, began to read the report, and as he read, a few small pieces of information caught his eye.

"The Southeast Headquarters reported a list of meritorious subjects for rewards or promotions, but one was rejected. Fang Che, who was nominated for promotion to Southeast Junior Patrol Marshal, was vetoed by Dong Fang, claiming that the doubts about him had not been cleared, and he couldn't be reused for now."

"Senior Swordmaster Snow has taken a severely injured maiden back, but she didn't take Fang Che with her and left him unconscious in White Cloud Continent."

Yan Nan looked at these two pieces of news.

He couldn't help but sigh, his brows furrowed.

"That old fox!"

This Fang Che... was indeed suspected by Dong Fang Sansan.

The promotion was withdrawn, and after his severe injury, they didn't take care of him. Leaving him to his own devices? Yan Nan understood Dong Fang Sansan's thoughts. Since this was the first time a Divine Soul had entered a body, there was no precedent for treating such a condition.

They were helpless.

It could only depend on Fang Che to get through this. Even if he went to the Guardian Headquarters, they could only find him a bed to lie on; there was nothing else they could do.

So lying in White Cloud Continent was the same.

But Yan Nan connected this with the fact that his promotion was blocked and that Dong Fang Sansan had previously sent people to investigate Fang Che, and he sensed something else: On the surface, the Guardian's side seemed indifferent, leaving Fang Che to his fate.

But in fact, someone must be monitoring him in secret!

In other words, this unconscious Fang Che was a trap set by Dong Fang Sansan, and it was a blatant scheme! If Fang Che had problems, the Only Me Sect would find a way to save him. If Fang Che was innocent, he would have to get through this on his own, as they couldn't do anything about it.

Yan Nan sighed.

What a mess!

What should he do?

Right now, the Night Demon still has the Nightmare Demon on its body... These two must not be allowed to cause any trouble.

But what should be done in this situation? If someone is sent to deliver the Soul Fusion Pill to the Nightmare Demon, it can not only ensure its well-being but also conveniently revive the Night Demon.

However, there's clearly a trap waiting. How can they get past it?

Once someone goes there, the Night Demon's identity will be exposed!

And right now, it's obvious that the Night Demon is within Dong Fang Sansan's observation period... In other words, whether the Night Demon can clear its suspicions is of utmost importance.

This is truly vexing!

He sent a message to Feng Yun: "Don't worry about the Night Demon's situation."

Feng Yun instantly understood: "Yes."

"Also, make a fuss about the Heavenly Palace's recent disturbance and escalate the situation. See how the higher-ups of the Heavenly Palace react."

Yan Nan instructed.

Feng Yun immediately agreed: "Yes."

After putting down the Communication Jade, he began to ponder. It seems that the Night Demon is indeed a pawn of Yan Zong Jiao Zhu, and the Night Demon's attack on the Heavenly Palace was likely instructed by Yan Nan, the Vice Sect Leader.

Feng Yun's thoughts went a layer deeper: The last time the Only Righteous Sect was at its peak, with the Guardians on the verge of a complete defeat, the Heavenly Palace sent out helpers, restoring the balance.

It appears that Yan Zong Jiao Zhu is worried about a similar situation happening again.

After all, the Heavenly Palace is too mysterious; no one knows where they are, which is a huge hidden danger. It's only reasonable to plan ahead.

Being prepared is always better than being caught off guard.

With this realization, Feng Yun suddenly felt that the Vice Sect Leader was truly far-sighted.

He had started planning from the very beginning. We should naturally cooperate. Will my investigation disrupt the Night Demon's plan?—Feng Yun immediately thought of this.

So he issued an order: Stop investigating the Night Demon.

Yin Shen Palace sent a nervous and humble request: "Vice Sect Leader, the Night Demon is in a deep coma. It's not good. Can we..."

Yan Nan was considering this matter, and since the Night Demon was also an important pawn, he comforted, "The Night Demon's situation depends on him. As long as the Nightmare Demon doesn't cause his soul to collapse, there won't be a problem. The Nightmare Demon can't occupy the body of a soul-compatible person. The Night Demon's crisis is a soul injury, not a soul possession."

Yin Shen Palace immediately felt relieved.

Since it's like this, as long as my disciple doesn't turn into a Nightmare Demon, it's fine.

"I'll send a few people to make contact, but don't get your hopes up. Whether the Night Demon recovers or not depends on him. The Guardians are clearly suspicious of the Night Demon. After the Night Demon's promotion in the Guardian Palace, Dong Fang Sansan directly blocked Fang Che's promotion. And according to the intelligence, Dong Fang Sansan is investigating the Night Demon's past in Bipocheng, including Sun Yuan's matter. What you did back then is now causing trouble. And the trouble is growing."

Yin Shen Palace felt relieved about his disciple turning into a Nightmare Demon.

But another worry arose.

Dong Fang Sansan is suspicious of the Night Demon, investigating Fang Che, and blocking Fang Che's promotion. This news was simply terrible.

It was obvious.

It was targeted.

"What we did back then was indeed too careless. Now, Sun Yuan is dead, and how can we make up for it?"

Yin Shen Palace paced back and forth, feeling anxious.

"We can't lose faith on this side. This is my and the Night Demon's path to heaven."

So, after some thought, he nervously sent a message to Yan Nan: "Vice Sect Leader, it's true that we didn't consider things thoroughly back then. However, although there are doubts about the Night Demon, there's no concrete evidence."

"So as long as the Night Demon can prove his innocence, there won't be a problem."

After Yin Shen Palace sent the message, he waited for a reply from Yan Nan but received none.

He paced anxiously in the palace, frowning.

Yin Shen Palace knew one thing for sure: the most difficult thing in this world is to prove one's innocence! In the end, he gritted his teeth and sent a message: "Go and see how the Night Demon is doing."

Only Righteous Sect Headquarters.

Yan Nan naturally received Yin Shen Palace's message.

His heart stirred: Yes, although Dong Fang Sansan has suspicions, there's no evidence.

Everyone from back then is already dead, leaving no one to testify.

How can he prove that Fang Che is a member of the Demon Sect?

It's just a matter of setting up a test or asking the Night Demon to do something to prove his innocence.

It's said that when he was at the White Cloud Martial Academy, he walked the Path of Conscience... So next, the Night Demon should be able to pass the test, which is similar to what he experienced back then.

Once he overcomes this difficulty, it will be smooth sailing.

See if the Night Demon can dispel Dong Fang's suspicions, and just wait for when the Night Demon can be promoted. This is the most obvious signal.

Yan Nan's heart slowly calmed down.

Now, what needs to be considered is the matter of the Nightmare Demon and the Night Demon: the Nightmare Demon's recovery and return, and the Night Demon's awakening and improvement.

"Damn it!"

Yan Nan cursed as he thought.

This time, they shouldn't have let the Nightmare Demon out!

This old bastard, after going out once, look what a mess he's caused!

Who should they send?

Ordinary people would definitely not escape Dong Fang Sansan's surveillance.

After some thought, he turned and walked towards the backyard.

...

Yan Bei Han's backyard.

Yan Bei Han was drenched in sweat, holding a long spear, and was on the verge of driving himself to madness with his practice.

Duanyi Yang's face finally improved slightly.

With Yan Bei Han's current level of mastery, as long as he didn't encounter someone like himself with innate spear bones, dealing with ordinary spears, lances, halberds, staffs, and halberds was no longer a problem.

If he raised his cultivation level a little more, even when facing the weapons on the Arsenal Rankings, he could basically ensure his survival.

He knew that Yan Bei Han's primary focus wasn't on the spear. Having practiced the spear to this extent, it was already considered sufficient.

The true offensive method was always the sword.

Practicing the spear couldn't be forced to the point of altering the foundation of the sword bone; that would be a loss. So... it was basically time to stop.

"Not bad, you can ask your grandpa for Divine Metal for the Night Demon."

"Moreover, you can also go out and explore the world."

Duanyi Yang was delighted.

On his gaunt face, a rare smile appeared.

I can finally be free!

At this moment, Yan Nan arrived.

In a pleasant mood, Duanyi Yang gave a rare smile: "Are you done?"

Yan Nan scolded him: "Old Duanyi, what the hell have you done? The Nightmare Demon is causing trouble in the southeast again, and this time it's even more troublesome! It's all because of you!"

Duanyi Yang's rare smile, which he hadn't shown in a thousand years, froze on his face.

After thousands of years, I finally have a good mood, and you come and curse me! His face turned grim, and he said angrily, "Yan Wu, are you looking to die?!"

The sound of clashing metal rang out as the Bone Shattering Dream Spear directly pierced towards Yan Nan's throat.

"Bang!"

Yan Nan deflected the spear with his palm and was about to speak when he found himself caught in the overwhelming offensive of the Bone Shattering Dream Spear.

"You're crazy!"

Yan Nan shouted in anger.

But Duanyi Yang, his face cold, struck with his spear, each strike faster than the last, determined to pierce a hole in Yan Nan.

I've endured so much for you over the years, and now I'm helping you teach your granddaughter, but the moment I arrive, you start cursing me!

Do you take me for your punching bag?

Damn it... I won't fall for your tricks.

As Duanyi Yang's spear became increasingly fierce, even using the Bone Spirit Aura, Yan Nan shouted angrily, "Stop! I was wrong!"

He called out angrily, "I was wrong!"

Duanyi Yang hummed, sheathed his spear, and looked down at Yan Nan.

If you have the guts, don't admit your mistake!

Yan Nan panted heavily, not because he couldn't beat Duanyi Yang, but... fighting this old guy is useless."

Instead, it's a waste of time.

Yan Bei Han watched from the side, bursting into laughter.

Over the past few years, his grandpa had been forced by Duanyi Yang to say 'I was wrong' three times, and each time, Yan Bei Han was present.

It was truly hilarious.

"What happened with the Nightmare Demon?"

Duanyi Yang asked. It's not that I'm not curious or that I don't want to know, but your attitude is a problem. I'll ask after the fight."

"Oh..."

Yan Nan glanced at Yan Bei Han and said, "Let's talk over there."

Yan Bei Han immediately became unhappy: "Grandpa, you can't listen!"

"I want to listen! My spear skills have passed the test. Give me what you promised!"

"I'll give it to you temporarily, but you can't leave with it."

Yan Nan replied indignantly.

Duanyi Yang said, "Xiao Han is indeed good. With a slight increase in cultivation, she can also explore the world."

"Hmm? Explore the world?"

Yan Nan became interested, his eyes lit up, and he said, "You're not busy, right?"

Duanyi Yang frowned and said, "What's the matter? I was about to continue pursuing the Faceless Tower."

"That's fine, it's on the way, no problem."

Yan Nan whispered, "Nightmare Demon... Night Demon... this..."

Duanyi Yang showed interest: "There's such a thing? I'll go take a look, it won't hurt."

This was exactly what Yan Nan was considering. Dongfang Si Wu's trap would only cause trouble for someone of ordinary cultivation. As long as Duanyi Yang was willing to conceal his identity and go quietly, no one would discover him.

But the most crucial point was that Duanyi Yang never changed his name or appearance, let alone use disguises. But since he was interested, it was a good thing.

So, Yan Nan said, "Then take Xiao Han to explore the world. Didn't you just say she could explore the world?"

He had a cunning plan.

Yan Bei Han needed to explore the world, and he had to send a Guardian. But who could compare to Duanyi Yang?

Following Duanyi Yang was the ultimate guarantee of safety.

Even if they encountered the combined attack of Xue Fuxiao's Frostblade Sword and Yu Tianqi's Blood Sugar Flag, as long as Duanyi Yang wanted to leave, he could still protect Yan Bei Han and fight their way back!

His granddaughter's safety was as guaranteed as if protected by the heavens.

Anyway, Duanyi Yang also had to disguise himself to go to the White Cloud Continent, so this was a four-in-one deal: the Nightmare Demon, the Night Demon, Yan Bei Han's safety, and the situation in the southeast.

Hearing Yan Nan's words, Duanyi Yang immediately became furious: "Do you take me for your granddaughter's nanny?!"

"You're not going either?"

Yan Nan, matter-of-factly: "It's on the way, what's the big deal about helping out? Isn't she my granddaughter? And isn't she your granddaughter too? Aren't you her grandpa?"

Duanyang: "..."

You're so reasonable, I'm speechless.

Turning to look at Yan Bei Han's pleading eyes, Duanyang's heart softened, and for a moment, he couldn't bring himself to refuse.

"Since you don't object, then this matter is settled."

Yan Nan nodded.

"But I didn't say I object..." Duanyang glared. In his heart, he felt something wasn't right, as if he had been set up.

Yan Nan interrupted: "Do you need to bring two people along to serve you?"

Duanyang paused, then said, "No need, right?" In his mind, he thought, I'm going out with the Bone Shattering Dream Spear, and I still need others to serve me?

"Then it's settled. No need is good. You all can set off now."

Yan Nan nodded.

Duanyang was taken aback: "I... I didn't agree to this!"

"You don't need to bring two people to serve you. And you say you didn't agree? Duanyang, how can you be so fickle?"

Yan Nan smirked, proud of his manipulation.

He had outsmarted Duanyang once again.

Duanyang sighed and cursed, "Damn, you've really outdone me this time."

"Then it's up to you. Chase down the Faceless Tower, and let Xiao Han help you in battle."

Yan Nan smiled slyly.

"Her? Help me in battle?"

Duanyang rolled his eyes, feeling too exasperated to even comment. He didn't know what to say.

"Also, you can't just go out like this, can you?"

Yan Nan said, "This time, no matter what, we need to change your appearance."

"Of course. We can't expose your granddaughter."

Duanyang felt powerless.

I've fallen so low.

The two continued their conversation through telepathy, while Yan Bei Han stood by, ears perked up but unable to hear anything.

Pouting, Yan Bei Han's face showed displeasure.

"Get ready, and let's go. Xiao Han will accompany you." Yan Nan ended the telepathic conversation, her face full of smugness.

"Grandpa, you're so unfair!"

Yan Bei Han complained.

"Hmph... Following you, Grandpa Duanyang, to journey through the martial world, you better listen to me, right?"

"My divine metal!"

"I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you."

"I also want that other thing..."

"I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you."

"I also want other things..."

"I'll give them to you, I'll give them to you."

Watching the grandfather and granddaughter excitedly planning their journey, Duanyang felt increasingly stifled.

Today, I'm so frustrated. In front of Yan Wu's schemes, I feel helpless and unable to act freely. I need to vent this frustration somehow.

Without a word, he grabbed his spear and left.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to chat with Bi Changhong."

"Oh no... Please don't hurt him..."

Yan Nan was startled and quickly tried to stop him.

But Duanyang had already disappeared.

Yan Bei Han, excited about her upcoming journey through the martial world, bounced over and hugged Yan Nan's arm coquettishly.

Yan Nan, forgetting about Bi Changhong—after all, he couldn't be killed anyway.

But still feeling uneasy, she said, "Let Hong Yi accompany you as well? With just Grandpa Duanyang, my precious granddaughter won't be well taken care of."

Yan Bei Han nodded: "Okay, where are we going? Southeast?"

"Yes, the Southeast."

"Wow, that's great!"

Yan Bei Han was thrilled.

Among all the directions in the world, the Southeast was the one she wanted to go to the most.

Moreover, Yan Bei Han always felt that her intuition was right.

This time, her wish would come true. The first stop was set in the Southeast, and she would see where this journey would lead. In her heart, she had a guess. This trip to the Southeast, would it provide an opportunity to confirm her suspicions? Was that guy really him?

Early the next morning.

Yan Bei Han couldn't wait and set off.

Hong Yi followed closely.

Duanyang, seeing Hong Yi, didn't say much. With a change of expression, he became kind and benevolent, leading the way to the Southeast.

Yan Bei Han followed, her face calm but her heart excited.

The martial world, here I come!

The Night Demon, this girl has arrived!

Yan Nan finally arrived at Bi Changhong's residence. At a glance, she saw Bi Changhong lying on the bed, his body bearing three wounds.

One on each shoulder and one on his lower abdomen.

"Ah! Brother Li, are you okay... Hey, he beat you so badly!"

Yan Nan was shocked.

Bi Changhong lay on the bed, looking at Yan Nan with resentment. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Couldn't you stop him? Over the years, how many times has he beaten me like this? And it's still not over? All because of that incident back then?"

"So it's just these wounds? Are there any others?" Yan Nan asked nonchalantly.

"Just these three wounds, and you think it's not enough?" Bi Changhong was annoyed.

In the midst of his anger, Chen Gu Yuhan Xiang Beidou and the others arrived, standing in a line.

"Brother Li, we heard you were injured. We're here to see you. Tsk, tsk."

"I'll inform everyone. Bosses, please give me some time off for the Spring Festival."

Thanks to the author, Liu Shu Zhimo, for becoming the 67th Alliance Leader of the Long Night Monarch.
