"

Thinking of this, he clenched his teeth, his gaze filled with resentment. Bei Zhen, you really deserve to die!

Bei Zhen's face turned pale, and his whole body trembled. At this moment, he had only one thought: it would be better to die and put an end to it all.

The silhouettes of the people from the Mountain Gate of the Secular World slowly disappeared among the mountains and into the sunset.

An indescribable desolation.

Hundreds of miles away in the direction Sun Xiaoyang had left.

On a mountain peak.

Yan Bei Han used his spiritual energy to wash the Soul Nourishing Yin-Yang Root that Fang Che had given him, and with a snap, he broke off a piece from the root.

Opening his mouth slightly, he bit off a piece.

Sweet and crisp.

Crunch, crunch...

Yan Bei Han made a great effort to eat. He ate one piece after another.

Feng Yun watched with a heart full of pain: "Little Han... this... if you combine it with other medicines, you can make many pills... Although eating it raw has the best effect, it's still too wasteful..."

"Get lost!"

Yan Bei Han rudely scolded back: "Since you also know that eating it raw is best, then why are you telling me how to eat my own things? Is this yours or the sect's? Did I ask for this?"

"..."

Feng Yun sighed.

Crunch.

Yan Bei Han broke off another piece, opened his mouth slightly, and crunched.

Feng Yun advised: "Even if this thing is useful, you don't have to finish it all in one day, right? It's over a thousand pounds. Do you plan to eat it all by yourself?"

"Of course, don't you worry about me!"

Yan Bei Han replied stubbornly: "Besides, after breaking it open, the juice inside starts to seep out. How can I not finish it? How much benefit would be wasted in a day?"

Feng Yun had no words: "..."

Sigh, do as you please.

...

Xue Fuxiao took Dong Yun Yu and Fang Che away.

Fengyun Qi, with his thick-skinned face, followed along.

"Let's find a place first, and we'll chat."

Fengyun Qi suggested several times.

Xue Fuxiao simply took the four of them and headed straight with the speed of the wind. They arrived at the cave that Jun Lin had pierced with his spear.

"Brother Qi, is your surname Tian or Feng?"

"Feng. My mother's surname is Tian. When I first entered the rivers and lakes, I always used the name Tian Xia Qi. Later, my nickname became Fengyun Qi, and I thought it matched my real surname, so I accepted it. After so many years of using both names, I've gotten used to it."

"So that's how it is. What's your real name then?"

"Can't you not ask?"

"Hey, between us old brothers, what are you afraid of? You're not even daring to say your real name?"

"..."

"Feng Yingjun."

"Pfft... Hahahahacoughhahahahaha..."

Xue Fuxiao was caught off guard and choked on the wind, bursting into laughter.

"I knew it..."

Fengyun Qi muttered, his face filled with resentment: "I knew it would be this reaction... You guys never know how to give people face..."

Xue Fuxiao said: "I have to say, Brother Qi, this name is pretty good... It does sound very handsome, and it's not wrong, hahahaha..."

Fengyun Qi sighed: "Let's not talk about this..."

"Okay, okay, Feng Yingjun, hahaha... Good name, it sounds great."

Fengyun Qi's face turned black, and he regretted it immensely.

Why did I tell them my name? I clearly planned to take it to the grave...

As they spoke, they had already reached the cave entrance.

"Yingjun, if you want to talk, what's the matter?" Xue Fuxiao asked with a smile.

"If you keep calling me that, I'll turn around and leave! I don't need your help, Guardians!"

Fengyun Qi exploded.

"Okay, Brother Qi... pfft, hahaha..."

"You!"

"Brother Qi, Brother Qi... don't be angry, I won't mention it again, I won't mention it again, okay, Yingjun?"

"..."

Fengyun Qi was so angry that he was speechless, his beard even crooked, staring as if he wanted to devour someone.

Half a day later, he finally calmed down, breathing heavily.

Seeing Xue Fuxiao putting Fang Che and the other two together, and then going deeper with him, setting up a soundproof barrier to talk, he finally calmed down a bit.

Xue Fuxiao indeed had some tricks up his sleeve.

"It's still about Elder Fang Laoliu's matter, right?" Xue Fuxiao asked.

"Of course, besides his matter, what do you guys care about?"

Fengyun Qi said with no patience: "Dongfang Sansan actually had a good idea. He spent his last breath of essence energy to activate his origin, unleash his potential, and undergo the Mortal Love Tribulation. But after he went out, he disappeared without a trace, and when he returned, he was half-dead. He even broke my last piece of the Celestial Oracle Jade."

Fengyun Qi spoke with frustration: "For this matter, Dongfang Sansan said he would take responsibility."

Xue Fuxiao shared his frustration: "Since Sansan said he would take responsibility, we will definitely take responsibility. But whether this matter will succeed or not... we also have no guarantee. What good can come from Elder Fang Laoliu' causing trouble with you? How can such a Heavenly Dao Injury be resolved by human power?"

Fengyun Qi was furious: "What do you mean by causing trouble? If it weren't for Dongfang Sansan's ambition, insisting on defying the heavens and controlling various Cloud Ranking Controllers to search the world, how could Elder Fang Laoliu have suffered such a heavy blow?

Back then, in terms of strength, Fang Laoliu was a person who could rank in the top three of the Cloud Weapon Ranking. Why would he be so severely injured? Don’t you, the Guardians, have any idea why?"

Xue Fuxiao sighed and said, "Fengyun Qi, calm down. Over these years, if you reflect on it, how many things have we sent over? Far more than what you have, right? All of it was to save Fang Laoliu. We have already done our utmost for your brother."

Fengyun Qi laughed coldly, "Xue Fuxiao, saying these words shows you have no conscience at all!"

"What did I say wrong?" Xue Fuxiao countered.

"Fang Laoliu has been in a coma for seventeen years, and we don’t even know if he will survive. Let’s be frank."

"You keep saying that Fang Laoliu is just my brother. Don’t you feel ashamed saying that?"

Fengyun Qi sneered, "Is he really just my man? Or, is he really just my man?"

Xue Fuxiao was shocked, "What are you talking about?"

Fengyun Qi, furious, said, "He is particularly concerned about your Guardian affairs. Do you think I’m stupid? Including this time, when he tried to pry into the Celestial Oracle, causing a backlash and severe injuries, it was all for Dongfang Sansan’s schemes. Do you think I can’t see through it? Dongfang Sansan is notoriously stingy, yet he keeps sending Heavenly Materials for a non-Guardian like Fang Laoliu? When I asked your strategist for some tea, he looked like it was cutting out his heart, and after much consideration, he gave me just a few ounces... How does Fang Yunzheng have such face?"

The more he spoke, the more indignant he became, "A few ounces! This is what the Chief Strategist of the Guardians does! When I asked Yan Nan for tea, he gave me dozens of pounds!"

"Yet, for the sake of Fang Yunzheng, Dongfang Sansan has sent Heavenly Materials twenty-seven times in seventeen years! Just to keep him alive."

"Are you really not afraid I’ll figure it out? Your strategist must think he has me pinned down. I’m not stupid, I just can’t bear to part with a brother of over ten thousand years, whether he’s a Guardian or from the Only Righteous Sect, I don’t care."

"Back then, ten of us brothers ranked the heroes of the world, aiming to create the Heroic Order of the World; but in the end, Dongfang Sansan took the credit."

"As for whether Fang Laoliu was with you from the start or joined later, I don’t care. I just want him to wake up!"

Fengyun Qi said, "So, if you don’t take responsibility for this, I’ll take him and join the Only Righteous Sect!"

The old man flailed his arms, "Anyway, we already have the Black and White Ginseng! We don’t need much more. Even if we can’t fully restore him, we can at least bring him back to a half-dead state."

Xue Fuxiao's mind was in a daze, unable to process such a complex situation.

He asked, distorted face and all, "What else is missing?"

"The most crucial are the Soul Nourishing Yin-Yang Root and the Phoenix Soul Herb. But those aren’t things found in this world. Even if they exist, only the Only Righteous Sect would have them."

Fengyun Qi sighed.

Is that it?

Xue Fuxiao thought of the spatial ring Fang Che gave him, blinked, and stared blankly for a while.

Then he remembered Fengyun Qi's long speech.

Feeling somewhat uneasy from what Fengyun Qi said, he asked, "How can you be sure Fang Laoliu is one of us? If he were, I would know. You know my position. How could I not know?"

Fengyun Qi snorted, rolling his eyes, and looked at Xue Fuxiao with pure disdain.

In a voice filled with utmost contempt, he said, "Would Dongfang Sansan let you know? With your brain, would he let you know? With your confused state after all my explanations, would he let you know? With your..."

Xue Fuxiao felt an urge to draw his sword.

This old bastard is calling me a fool? He must really want to die!

"Are you blind? In the Four Seas and Eight Directions Tower, I plan and strategize, my schemes are flourishing, can’t you see that?"

"Bullshit! Without Duan Xiaoyang's cooperation, you wouldn’t accomplish anything!"

Fengyun Qi sneered.

Xue Fuxiao thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.

So, Xue Fuxiao said defiantly, "What the Only Righteous Sect has, we might not necessarily lack."

Fengyun Qi smiled faintly, "The Soul Nourishing Yin-Yang Root and the Phoenix Soul Herb don’t even belong to this world. I’ve seen everything you and Duan Xiaoyang have from the Heavenly Palace and Netherworld. Neither of those items was among them."

Xue Fuxiao laughed coldly, "That’s because you lack foresight. If we don’t get them from the Heavenly Palace and Netherworld, do you think those who enter won’t find them? Brother Qi, you underestimate the heroes of the world."

"Ha ha..." Fengyun Qi was amused by Xue Fuxiao’s words.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I’m laughing at how weak you are, yet your mouth is so hard."

"If I have them, what would you say?"

"If you have them, I’ll call you father!" Fengyun Qi blurted out.

"I don’t want a son like you."

Xue Fuxiao rolled his eyes.

Fengyun Qi was just mouthing off, but he was actually setting a trap. If he really made Fengyun Qi call him father, he might never see this guy again.

For a bit of verbal satisfaction, to suffer such a great loss, it wouldn’t be worth it, and Sansan would probably scold him to death.

"If I have them, would you do three things for our Guardians? These three tasks will be proposed by Sansan. Do you dare?" Xue Fuxiao asked. He felt his mind was getting sharper.

I never used to say such cunning things.

"Ha ha... Not three, thirty tasks are fine. As long as my brother can wake up, even if he wakes up and becomes a Guardian, it’s worth it!"

Fengyun Qi’s expression was somewhat excited.

Xue Fuxiao had tricked him, and he was just as cunning, playing his own game. This naive person might have thought he had gained an advantage over me, but as soon as I heard his tone, I knew there was a chance.

So, I kept up the pressure!

My goal was to save Fang Laoliu, the only remaining brother after so many years.

The Wind and Cloud Chess, was truly willing to pay any price to save him.

"Then let's make a deal?"

"Good!"

Xue Fuxiao was pleased and directly opened his Spatial Ring, "Scan with your Divine Perception and see if it's there."

Wind and Cloud Chess scanned with his Divine Perception and was immediately shocked.

Inside... there were countless Spirit Herbs!

He had carefully planned to deceive Sun Xiaoyang, and the two Black and White Ginsengs were just the beginning. Inside the ring, there were countless more.

Even the smallest Black and White Ginseng inside was larger than both of his combined.

The Soul Nourishing Yin-Yang Ginseng that he had dreamed of was piled up like a mountain! Tens of thousands of pounds!

Wind and Cloud Chess was stunned.

Rare treasures like the Phoenix Soul Ginseng were also abundant, filling the space. Piles upon piles.

Wind and Cloud Chess couldn't believe his eyes.

He greedily stared.

Xue Fuxiao swiped his finger, sealing the ring.

"Damn!"

Wind and Cloud Chess was furious, "You opened it, but I... I haven't finished looking yet."

"What do you want to do after looking?"

Xue Fuxiao was triumphant, "I'll just ask you, are those two things you want inside?"

"They're here! And there are quite a few of them, all of high quality!"

"Then why don't I take them out for you?"

"No!"

Wind and Cloud Chess's eyes turned red, "Give me more!"

"I won't give them to you!"

"You already have so many, they're piled up like a mountain. Give me some more! I'll take just one-third, okay? I'm also your ally."

"You're dreaming!"

"Then I'll ask Dongfang Sansan for them!"

"Then go ask him, I won't give them to you. From now on, you won't need your two legs to walk, I'll use my powers to support you and you can jump around."

Xue Fuxiao thought of Dongfang Sansan's stingy nature and his stubborn personality. He was absolutely certain about this.

I won't give them to you, no matter what! Wind and Cloud Chess was almost laughing, "How tall are you? Are you going to pole vault now?"

"Forget that, I'll just ask you, before you said that if I fulfill three requests for you, you'll do three things for the Guardians, is that still the deal?"

"Yes, yes!"

Wind and Cloud Chess nodded repeatedly.

His eyes gleamed with greed as he scanned Xue Fuxiao's ring.

Forget about the previous deal, just the treasures inside the ring, give me half, and I'll devote my life to the Guardians! Wind and Cloud Chess regretted not cultivating harder, as he couldn't defeat Xue Fuxiao. Otherwise, he would have just snatched the ring and left...

Xue Fuxiao was extremely pleased with himself.

He felt he had accomplished something great. After returning, Dongfang Sansan would definitely view him with newfound respect. What he had done was truly badass!

Just like that, he easily pulled Wind and Cloud Chess into their camp.

Little did he know that upon returning, Dongfang Sansan would scold him furiously for being foolish... Just the treasures inside the ring, take two Soul Nourishing Yin-Yang Ginsengs, two Phoenix Soul Ginsengs, and a few Black and White Ginsengs, and that would be enough to make Wind and Cloud Chess bow down.

But by letting him see everything at once, wasn't he asking for trouble?

With Dongfang Sansan's stingy nature and Wind and Cloud Chess's greedy personality, seeing the Spirit Herbs would make them bicker for thousands of years...

This matter was left unmentioned.

After settling this, Xue Fuxiao felt refreshed.

"I haven't asked you yet, what does the Heroic Order of the World mean?" Xue Fuxiao asked.

Wind and Cloud Chess sighed, "I didn't want to say, but after so many years, it's fine to speak of it. Keeping it in my heart is also uncomfortable."

"It was after Jun Lin swept across the continent, and after a very long time, perhaps tens of thousands of years, the exact time is impossible to calculate."

Wind and Cloud Chess's expression turned somewhat melancholic.

"And I was only seventeen at that time. One day, I received Divine Inspiration and began cultivating, making rapid progress. But in the future, I wanted to do one thing. That is, to establish rules for the world."

"At that time, the entire world was like a wasteland. You understand that feeling, right?"

"I understand."

How could he not understand? Xue Fuxiao understood it very well.

"Countless small countries, each with their own laws, constant warfare, annual battles, just as one place unifies, another rebels, just as one place stabilizes, another starts internal strife... All sorts of chaos."

"After cultivating for some time, I began to travel the world, seeking like-minded brothers to accomplish this task."

"More and more people joined, more and more left, and more and more died. Three thousand years later, we finally gathered eight brothers and established the rules. But these rules were constantly abandoned, the foundations we built were constantly destroyed..."

"And so the cycle continued, and finally, our strength grew. We had eight brothers, and we began to rank the heroes of the world. In our plan, this was just the first step. As long as the heroes of the world, recognized the fairness of the rankings, our first step would naturally be successful."

"After more years of bloodshed, the Continent's Heroes Ranking was established, and those on the list faced constant challenges. Those who were dissatisfied gathered, and the experts on the list were defeated one by one. Then we saw the situation was not right, so we used the Divine Artifact, Tianji Jade, and when our cultivation reached a certain level, we finally communicated with Heaven's Path and established Cloud Oversight; from then on, the world was under our watchful eyes."
