Chapter 407: Go All Out, Finish Them Off!

Yin Shen Palace immediately replied, "Yes, Vice Sect Leader. I'll inform him right away, but... after Night Demon leaves, what should we do? Given Night Demon's current situation, it's not suitable for him to continue working for our sect..."

Yan Nan said, "Let Night Demon do as he pleases, as long as it benefits the Guardians. First, he needs to ensure his own safety. Moreover, it's time to purge the Reclusive Sect."

Knowing that Yin Shen Palace's cultivation level was too low to understand, Yan Nan decided to explain further.

"Before we established our nation, we had no national fortune to speak of, and the Reclusive Sect occupied a portion of the human realm's fortune. So, when we didn't have our own fortune, dealing with the Reclusive Sect would naturally cause that portion of the fortune to lean towards the Guardians. That's why we didn't take drastic measures against them."

"The Reclusive Sect occupying the fortune isn't scary; what's scary is if they turn towards the Guardians, and Dong Fang Sansan gains control of this fortune power, then countless geniuses will emerge. This is a fundamental difference! So, before that, we had to keep the Reclusive Sect around, and at times, we even had to be more lenient."

"But the situation is different now. We've established our nation. Although the New Chu's national fortune is weak, it still exists. So, if we suppress them now, it will create two scenarios: one, they will still lean towards the Guardians, and two, they will lean towards our Only Righteous Sect."

"And there are many cowards in the Reclusive Sect who, if beaten, might just defect to us."

"So, as long as Night Demon infiltrates them, whatever he does will stir up the calm waters of the world. And no matter how he stirs things up, it won't affect us."

"So, let him go all out, without holding back!"

"Dong Fang Sansan can't possibly control everything, and it's already not easy for him to support the Guardians. But if you say he can turn a bunch of cowards into martyrs... I'm not underestimating him, even if he were a hundred times stronger, he couldn't do it!"

"He can plan, but he can't control people's hearts!"

"A coward is a coward, and a dog is a dog! Even if Dong Fang Sansan can change the world, he can't change this!"

As he continued speaking, Yan Nan was no longer just assigning tasks but expressing his own opinions.

After sending the message, Yan Nan felt a subtle dissatisfaction in his heart. What's Yin Shen Palace? It took me so much effort to explain all this...

...

Soon after, Yan Nan received news of the Elder causing a ruckus at the Guardian's Southeast Headquarters.

He also learned that the Elder had been pacified in the end.

Yan Nan frowned upon reading this news.

"This is strange... something's not right here."

He raised his head and pondered, "According to Yin Shen Palace's intelligence, Zhao Shanhe was suppressing Fang Che to curry favor with someone. But now it seems completely different... it must be that Dong Fang had already started suspecting something at that time... so he ordered to cut off Fang Che's path at the martial academy and blocked his future. Instead, he was placed directly under the Guardian Palace, right under his nose."

"In other words, the real culprit isn't Zhao Shanhe, but Dong Fang. This makes sense. With Zhao Shanhe's temper, why would he suppress Fang Che, a mere student, just to curry favor? But when it comes to currying favor with Dong Fang, he'd gladly take the blame."

"However, Dong Fang's identity doesn't allow for direct action, and we're not certain. So, Zhao Shanhe was used as a scapegoat. In other words, Zhao Shanhe has been a scapegoat from start to finish!"

Yan Nan suddenly felt a sense of clarity in his heart.

With this realization, many of his previous doubts were instantly resolved.

"No wonder Fang Che has achieved so much, yet he's been held back, tested, and constantly investigated... it turns out it was Dong Fang's preconceived notions at play."

"But now, the person with the surname Shen that Fang Che was currying favor with has also realized that Dong Fang Sansan was the one pulling the strings, so he gave up the pursuit... and this time, Dong Fang Sansan even sent out Yang Luoyu to thoroughly investigate Fang Che. What does this mean?"

Yan Nan's mind raced, and he immediately understood Dong Fang Sansan's intentions by putting himself in his shoes.

"If I wanted to investigate someone from a subordinate sect, I'd just give an order, and the Southeast Headquarters would handle it. In what situation would I send someone like Jiang Wuwang to participate in the investigation? It's when this person has become extremely important, and it's the final test... I'd only send someone I believe to be meticulous and reliable to handle this matter and obtain the final investigation conclusion."

"So, this investigation of Fang Che is Dong Fang Sansan's final conclusion."

At this thought, Yan Nan even felt a sense of relief, as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

Finally, I've seen your final move!

It wasn't easy at all.

Yan Nan never imagined that such a small fry's arrangements could go up against Dong Fang Sansan so many times!

He even noticed this insignificant character!

Such meticulousness is truly astonishing! But from this point, Yan Nan began to worry about another matter: If Dong Fang Sansan could make such arrangements for even this small detail...

So, how did those previous moles successfully establish themselves and infiltrate?

E

Could it be that Dongfang Sansan kept him around to pass on messages to me? In other words, if Dongfang Sansan wanted me to know something, I would receive that message?

If that's the case, then over these years, I've been led around by the nose by Dongfang Sansan, and it's because of the moles I sent out?

With this thought, a sudden cold sweat broke out on Yan Nan's back.

Yan Nan's eyes flickered, and after a long moment of thought, he clenched his teeth and finally focused his gaze.

Without further delay, he immediately issued an order: "Initiate the self-destruct sequence of Number Seven, and destroy the Library Tower under his responsibility!"

After sending the command, Yan Nan slowly walked to the chair and sat down, muttering, "This... is it under your control? If it is..."

He thought silently, not even noticing that a layer of fine cold sweat had already formed on his forehead.

"...If even these are under control, then, doesn't it mean that all these moles and informants, aside from Ye Mo who is about to be cleared, the others... are not very trustworthy?"

Yan Nan stared blankly at the empty space in front of him, suddenly remembering the younger members of the Only Righteous Sect's opinions about Dongfang Sansan.

"With Dongfang Sansan on their side, it's as if we're fighting against a god."

He thought silently, his gaze heavy: God? Dongfang Sansan, with your mortal body, can you truly stand shoulder to shoulder with the divine?

...

On the other side.

Yin Shen Palace had just finished reading the entire lengthy treatise, and was feeling excited.

The Vice Sect Leader had treated him as one of his own.

He had said so much, it was as if he was teaching him.

After waiting for a while and seeing that the Vice Sect Leader had not sent any further messages, he respectfully replied, "This subordinate obeys, and thanks the Vice Sect Leader for his teachings."

Then, he sent a message to Ye Mo: "The Vice Sect Leader just spoke, telling you not to worry about anything else. It's said that the various Reclusive Sects in the city of White Cloud Continent are gathering... You can go and participate, just follow your heart. For the sake of establishing merit for the Guardians, etc., etc..."

He gave detailed instructions.

Then, he conveyed Yan Nan's views on the Reclusive Sects, with some edits and omissions.

In short, it can be summarized in eight words.

"Go ahead and do it, kill them!"

In the city of White Cloud Continent.

Fang Che, who was idly lounging in a recliner and basking in the way I encountered... How could I not know about such a big event in the city of White Cloud Continent?

"This is a spectacle I can't miss!"

Fang Che's eyes lit up with excitement. "I've been lying around for a few days, and I had no idea that such a big event was happening in the city of White Cloud Continent! I can't believe I didn't know about it!"

"This is a spectacle I can't miss!"

Fang Che's eyes lit up with excitement.

Since he was going to do it, there was no time to waste. These past few days have been so boring!

He immediately stood up, fastened a sword to his waist and slung a knife on his back.

He put on the Guardian Palace Overseer's uniform, with a shining gold star.

Yes, the higher-ups at the Guardian Palace knew that he had been relieved of his duties, but who outside would know?

Besides, his uniform hadn't been confiscated.

Since it hadn't been taken away, it was still his, and he could wear it out without any issues. It's still an official duty! Moreover, this is the city of White Cloud Continent, my base of operations, who dares to say no to me?

"Where are you going?"

Ye Meng asked curiously.

"I'm going for a stroll. I've been idle and restless."

Fang Che asked, "Do you have anything to do? If not, I can accompany you on your stroll."

Ye Meng's eyes lit up, and she said, "Sure, let's go for a walk. It's a good time for me to take care of you. It's not right for you to be alone."

Fang Che thought for a moment, 'Hmm, that's a good reason.

So, he took Ye Meng with him, strolling leisurely out of the door, walking at a relaxed pace, heading towards the city of White Cloud Continent.

As for the Tianxia Escort Agency, it wouldn't be too late to go there in a few days.

During this time, there were too many eyes on him.

Anyway, with Zheng Yunqi and Zhao Wushang there, the Tianxia Escort Agency would definitely not go far.

He felt very reassured.

Strolling along, they left the Scholar's Residence, turned onto a street, then into an alley, and finally emerged onto the main street in the center of the city of White Cloud Continent.

This main street was wide enough to accommodate ten large horse-drawn carriages side by side. Of course, the shops on both sides of the road also occupied part of the street, with people coming and going, bustling and crowded.

Fang Che's appearance caused an uproar among the crowd.

"Fang Che! Fang Che is here!"

"Fang Che, your body has recovered well!"

"We heard you were injured, and we've been worried these past few days, but we didn't dare to visit. Seeing you out today is a relief..."

"Fang Che, I just baked these melons, please try one..."

"Fang Che, seeing you again is a relief..."

"..."

Everyone's enthusiasm was genuine, and Fang Che's image in the city of White Cloud Continent was that of a people's favorite, too upright, too good.

Ye Meng, her face red and head down, followed Fang Che, not daring to let her gaze wander.

Because, the moment her eyes fell on something, the shopkeeper immediately wrapped it up and sent it over: "Please accept this humble gift... It's not expensive, just a token of my gratitude..."

So, Ye Meng's eyes didn't dare to wander.

Because these people genuinely wanted to send their regards.

Fang Che wore the golden star attendant's uniform and a black cloak, which made his pale face even more noticeable, clearly still recovering from a serious illness. He repeatedly bowed and smiled, "Everyone, there's no need for this... I feel undeserved of your kindness, and I came out today to patrol the streets and greet everyone... I know you've been concerned, but your enthusiasm is making it hard for me to take a step forward... Haha, go back to your work, please."

After some persuasion, the crowd returned to their original positions.

The boss even sent a waiter to run ahead and inform all the shop owners along the way, "Vice Sect Leader Fang is patrolling the streets, and he's still weak from his recent illness. Don't bother him with conversation and let Vice Sect Leader Fang take a leisurely walk and relax. Take note, remember this."

As Fang Che patrolled the streets, he was greeted with enthusiastic voices all along the way.

However, the phenomenon of people surrounding him had indeed disappeared.

All he saw were smiling faces around him, beaming at Fang Che.

Ye Meng couldn't help but feel proud and conflicted in her heart.

Fang Che's popularity was truly remarkable. The image he had established was deeply rooted in the people's hearts. One could only wonder how many people in White Cloud Continent would be disappointed if his true identity were ever exposed.

As Fang Che walked ahead, his pale face evoked sympathy from many behind him.

"Vice Sect Leader Fang is truly dedicated. He has put in so much effort for White Cloud Continent... It's said that this time, he was injured while trying to eradicate a super devil from the One Righteous Sect... Sigh..."

"What's most admirable about Vice Sect Leader Fang is his kindness. You know, during many disaster relief efforts, Vice Sect Leader Fang has donated from his own pocket. Once, during a heavy snowfall, my neighbor went out early in the morning and saw Vice Sect Leader Fang throwing money into the homes of poor families... Vice Sect Leader Fang does good deeds but doesn't want anyone to know about them... That's true virtue."

"Indeed, if there were more people like Vice Sect Leader Fang in this world, the world would be a much more peaceful place."

"Those damn devils, how could they lay a hand on such a good person as Vice Sect Leader Fang? I was in pain for days just seeing him with a little scrape..."

"Exactly. I pray day and night for Vice Sect Leader Fang's safety and longevity."

"Me too, me too. As long as Vice Sect Leader Fang is around, we in White Cloud Continent will be safe for another day."

Fang Che walked along the street with remarkable patience.

Ye Meng's stunning beauty naturally attracted a lot of attention, but since she was Vice Sect Leader Fang's wife, everyone was respectful, and even behind-the-back discussions were devoid of any harsh words.

Instead, they said things like, "The wife is so lucky to follow Vice Sect Leader Fang," "Only such a beauty could match Vice Sect Leader Fang," and "She looks so virtuous..."

Walking towards them was a group of people led by Yun Jianqiu, the chief attendant of the Guardian Palace.

Upon seeing Vice Sect Leader Fang, the group was overjoyed and rushed over, surrounding him with warmth.

"You're finally better! We've been so worried. The higher-ups were concerned that we'd swarm you and disrupt your recovery, so they issued a confinement order... Oh, it was nerve-wracking!"

"Great, Vice Sect Leader Fang, when can you return to your duties at the Guardian Palace?"

"Pfft, pfft, what are you saying? Let Vice Sect Leader Fang rest for a few more days!"

Jing Xiuyun stepped forward, "Vice Sect Leader Fang, how is Ying'er now? Any news?"

"I heard she's in treatment and it's going well. She's fine, but it'll take some time to recover."

"That's good, that's good," Jing Xiuyun sighed in relief and smiled.

"By the way, weren't you guys patrolling the north side of the city? Why are you here?" Vice Sect Leader Fang asked in surprise.

"The north side is still within our patrol area, but recently, there's been a major event here, so whenever we have free time, we come over to check things out," Yun Jianqiu explained with a laugh.

"A major event?" Vice Sect Leader Fang's eyebrows furrowed, and he smiled faintly, "There's a major event here, and you didn't report it? This is a dereliction of duty."

Yun Jianqiu was startled and tried to appease him, "Vice Sect Leader Fang, you were resting, and we didn't want to disturb your recovery. We know you're dedicated to your work and might get curious, so we didn't want to distract you from your rest."

"And now?" Vice Sect Leader Fang tilted his head back.

"Now, we're reporting truthfully..." Yun Jianqiu chuckled and leaned in, lowering his voice, "I don't know how it happened, but the One Righteous Sect's Feng Yun came... Then, the young master of the Heavenly Palace is said to have arrived, and so did the Netherworld Palace, the Azure Palace, and so on... Even the young chief disciple of our Cold Sword Sect and the core disciples of the other Reclusive Sects are here... You could say they've caught all the young talents in one net..."

Yun Jianqiu continued his report.

He didn't notice that as Vice Sect Leader Fang smiled warmly, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes when he heard the words "caught in one net."

"So lively?"

Vice Sect Leader Fang smiled as if he didn't care, "Then we probably won't be too busy, because with all these people together, they won't have time to think about us Guardians, right?"

"Vice Sect Leader Fang is right, but we should still be hospitable to our guests."

Once again, these reclusive sect members came this time, and they actually all greeted the Guardian Palace. So, they have legitimacy."

"Since they are legitimate guests, we naturally have the obligation to protect them. Fang Zong is aware of this."

Yun Jianqiu said.

"So, the Only Righteous Sect also has to protect them?"

"Of course. This time, Feng Yun didn't come to greet the Guardian Palace, but came with the approval of the upper echelons. So they are considered state guests; since they are treated as state guests, we naturally have to protect them. At least within our area of responsibility, there cannot be any safety issues."

Yun Jianqiu had obviously brushed up on this aspect, and his words were well-spoken.

Fang Che nodded.

Perhaps some would wonder; why would they protect their enemies so much. But think about it, when the Khitan envoys came to the Song Dynasty, both sides exchanged diplomatic letters...

"It's really lively."

Fang Che sighed, saying, "It's been a long time since White Cloud Continent has been this lively. This time, it's indeed a bit surprising. Why did these geniuses of the heavens all choose to come to White Cloud Continent?"

This question suddenly stumped Yun Jianqiu, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I truly don't know."

"Hehe... Alright, since I'm free now, I'll go take a look."

Fang Che asked, "Where are they now?"

"At the Four Seas and Eight Corners Tower. Fang Zong, do you want to come with me?" Yun Jianqiu's eyes lit up.

"Don't you still have official duties?" Fang Che glared, "What, do you want to take a vacation with me?"

"Hehe, hehe... Alright then." Yun Jianqiu chuckled twice, but seeing Fang Che's unchanged expression, he had to give up, saying, "Hong Er Tui Zi brought two people to stand guard at the entrance, so it's easy to find."

"Hong Er Tui Zi?" Fang Che's lips twitched, "Who did he bring?"

"Old Ginger and Old Huang, the two who are planning to retire this year." Yun Jianqiu gave a strange smile.

"He actually chose two good people..."

Fang Che almost laughed out of control.

"If Fang Zong goes, he'll have two reliable people with him."

Yun Jianqiu felt a bit envious of Hong Er Tui Zi.

"Hehe... What reliable people, I'm still on vacation." Fang Che said, "This Four Seas and Eight Corners Tower, what's the story behind it? I remember the boss's surname is Bu, right?"

"Yes. The Four Seas and Eight Corners Tower, originating from the Cloud-End Weapon Ranking's eleventh place, Bu Chou. Initially, Bu Chou and his elder brother were drinking here. His elder brother's cultivation wasn't high, but Bu Chou was already starting to make rapid progress. At that time, his elder brother said, 'I'll stay at home and watch over the place. I grant you peace in the Four Seas, but no matter when you return, there will always be a home here.'"

"And Bu Chou said, 'I'll wander the world, granting you peace in the Eight Corners. I hope that one day, no matter where you are, mentioning of Bu Chou's name will make the entire world of the Four Seas and Eight Corners tremble!'"

"Later, the elder brother's descendant bought this place and started running an inn, naming it the Four Seas and Eight Corners Tower!"

"But since the establishment of the Four Seas and Eight Corners Tower, Bu Chou has never come here. However, the Four Seas and Eight Corners Tower has existed in White Cloud Continent for eighteen hundred years!"

As Yun Jianqiu spoke, he noticed that Fang Che's eyes suddenly became hazy.

It seemed like he had thought of something.

He sighed lightly... or rather, he sighed with a mix of emotion, filled with nostalgia and... satisfaction.

"This story is truly beautiful."

Fang Che took a deep breath, unable to resist turning to look at the direction of White Cloud Martial Academy.

"I'll wander the world, granting you peace in the Eight Corners. I'll stay at home and watch over the place, granting you a home to return to.

"So it seems, this Four Seas and Eight Corners Tower, I must go take a look."

Fang Che looked up, speaking with a lofty tone, filled with yearning.

"At this moment, his expression and demeanor carried a hint of distance.

He was truly experiencing Bu Chou's feelings; here, there's the Four Seas and Eight Corners Tower, here, there's the root. Although I don't come here, I know that there's the Four Seas and Eight Corners Tower here.

"So, I wander the world, fearless and unyielding!

"I don't return home, because it's not yet time for me to go home. But when I want to return home, this place will always be my home! My root!

"Let's go take a look!"

Fang Che smiled lightly, holding Ye Meng's hand, and said with a smile, "Let's go see Bu Chou's home together."

Ye Meng lowered her eyes, smiling lightly, "Let's go."

She understood Fang Che's feelings.

That night, as Fang Che's brothers were talking, she quietly watched from the side.

"Your cousin is indeed an honest person."

Ye Meng's heart understood Fang Che's emotional turmoil.

Because when she heard these words, her heart's feeling was the same as Fang Che's.

Unable to resist silently reciting in her heart once more:

Fang Che suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, calmly asking, "Jianqiu, how is the young chief of your Cold Sword Sect?"
