Chapter 472: Digging a Hole for Yourself (Part 1)

Hong Yi had no doubts about the others.

After recording everything, the two of them continued to discuss the matter they had just investigated, whispering to each other.

Yin Shen Palace had no choice but to closely follow Yan Beihan, quickly transmitting sound instructions to whomever Yan Beihan sought out.

Say what should be said, and don't say what shouldn't be said...

Finally, evening arrived.

After finishing dinner, Yan Beihan returned to her room.

This was Hong Yi's first time encountering so much information about the Night Demon.

"Hong Yi, look, I've taken a liking to this Night Demon, and now you've learned so much about him too."

Yan Beihan glanced at her and said indifferently, "Actually, many of the things we heard today were already known to me. Today was mainly for them to tell you, and then for you to make a judgment."

Yan Beihan smiled, "You've always been so focused on the Night Demon, and I've never taken it seriously."

Hong Yi blushed slightly, "Miss is indeed insightful. After learning so much, I feel that it would be a pity if this Night Demon isn't recruited."

Yan Beihan said indifferently, "Actually, Elder Duan's evaluation was enough. But today, I wanted you to understand why Elder Duan said those words. So, Hong Yi..."

She looked up at Hong Yi and said, "I hope that in the future, you'll trust me more. I can handle these matters, and the people I see highly of rarely disappoint. As I'm about to take action, I need more autonomy. Although you've been very good to me, this side... also can't do anything without Elder's approval."

"This is very detrimental to my growth. I feel that I'm always just a puppet under Elder's arrangements, no matter how great the achievements are, it's Elder who's steering the ship. Even if I accomplish something on my own, it's still Elder's merit. Even if I complete it alone, there's no sense of accomplishment."

Hong Yi felt a bit ashamed.

This was exactly what she had been doing.

"Bringing you along to learn about the Night Demon is to tell you this."

Yan Beihan said solemnly, "You must understand that if you continue like this, then I can only remain as Yan Nan's granddaughter and not become the true Yan Beihan. There won't be a chance to grow into the true Yan Beihan."

Hong Yi's expression turned serious, "I'll remember this. After returning, I'll apply for your authority with Vice-Elder Yan."

"Thank you, Hong Yi."

Yan Beihan smiled.

One of the main reasons she came here today was because she was extremely eager to hear someone talk about the Night Demon's story.

Now, especially after leaving the Yin-Yang Realm, this urge became even stronger.

It seemed that just listening to his past made her happy, as if she had a sense of participation, a feeling that was hard to describe, a young girl's heart filled with excitement.

But the other half of the reason was to satisfy herself and at the same time, impress Hong Yi, proving her capabilities, and thus obtaining greater freedom for herself.

Because on Yan Nan's side, if Yan Beihan asked for authority, it was absolutely impossible. No matter how she acted cute or charming, it wouldn't work.

But Hong Yi could, based on Yan Beihan's actions, produce a report stating 'capable of independent action,' causing Yan Nan to grant Yan Beihan some freedom.

Everyone understood this logic.

This was Yan Beihan's true preparation before taking action. Having obtained Hong Yi's promise, she had achieved her goal.

Next was Sun Xiaoyang's approval. If Sun Xiaoyang could also put in a good word for her, it would carry much more weight than Hong Yi's.

But unfortunately, this was a very difficult request.

Meanwhile, Yin Shen Palace was in urgent discussions with Mu Linyuan, Qian Sanjiang, and others.

"Lady Yan Beihan is inquiring so much about the Night Demon, and even gave him Divine Metal and many resources. What she's planning is already very clear."

"Did you let anything slip?"

Qian Sanjiang and Hou Fang shook their heads.

Both were old foxes in the martial world, their experience reaching an unparalleled level. Dealing with such simple probing questions was absolutely no challenge for them.

"Elder, it seems we should start planning for the Night Demon's future."

Mu Linyuan was very satisfied and relieved.

"Yes."

Yin Shen Palace had a clear understanding of this point, "Prince Chen Yin and Lady Yan Beihan both highly regard him and want to recruit him as future core members. At this time, before a decision is made, is when the Night Demon is safest."

"Yes."

"So, the Night Demon's future danger has increased."

"Now, with Vice-Elder Yan's instructions, the Night Demon has at least three years of development time." Yin Shen Palace's eyes were filled with worry.

"In other words, the Night Demon must grow to a level close to mine, or even higher, within three years, to have a slight chance of overcoming the future crisis."

Yin Shen Palace saw this clearly. Once Yan Beihan, Chen Yin, Feng Xing, Bai Ye, Chen Yin, Bi Feng, and other younger generations joined the power struggle, they would establish their own core members for their future battles. At that time, the Only Me Orthodox Sect would experience unprecedented turmoil!

But the danger would increase day by day. The stronger his abilities and martial power, the more obvious his threat to his opponents, and the greater the danger!

Mu Linyuan, Hou Fang, and the others all lowered their heads, silent.

You are now a Saint Rank.

Night Demon was currently only at the King Rank, but within three years, he had to surpass the Emperor Rank, Sovereign Rank, and reach the Saint Rank...

Mu Linyuan was speechless.

In his thousands of years of life, he had never crossed over, nor had he even come close.

Night Demon crossing over in three years?

"What King Rank is Night Demon at now?" Mu Linyuan asked. "I remember the last time Nightmare Demon possessed him, he was only at the Archduke Sixth Rank, right?"

"Night Demon is now at the Archduke Ninth Rank," Yin Shenggong said proudly. "During this period, he's had good fortune. In just over half a month, he's risen three ranks."

"So fast?"

The three of them were stunned.

Suddenly, they felt that if Night Demon continued at this speed, breaking through to the Saint Rank didn't seem too difficult.

"This surpasses the talent of the Archduke Rank. His cultivation speed is too fast," Mu Linyuan exclaimed.

"The key is the ten years of cultivation in the Yin-Yang Realm. Although he didn't bring out all his cultivation, he did cultivate to the Marquis Rank inside," Yin Shenggong explained.

"So after coming out, as long as the resources keep up, it won't be difficult to re-cultivate what he's already experienced," Yin Shenggong continued.

"I see."

"But the genius Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that Night Demon brought out were all contributed to the Guardians," Yin Shenggong sighed.

"This isn't a secret. It's already spread across the martial world... Xue Fuxiao and Duan Shuo are waiting to receive the resources. People of Yan Bei Han and Feng Yun's status might be able to keep some for themselves, but most of it has to be handed over. Night Demon's status among the Guardians... Heh, it's not just me saying this, but the Guardians giving him a medal would already be a great honor."

Mu Linyuan chuckled, "If he dares to hide anything, he'll be punished. Moreover, he still has suspicions that haven't been cleared, and he's currently under review."

"I understand this logic, but I just feel a bit heartbroken," Yin Shenggong sighed.

"But this is also Night Demon's achievement. The Guardians won't just take it calmly. They'll definitely make some gestures and compensations. This is a good thing for Night Demon's current review situation and for the long-term future," Mu Linyuan consoled.

"I understand all these reasons. I don't need your comfort. Why are you so anxious? I'm just heartbroken about the resources, not blaming anyone!" Yin Shenggong said angrily.

"How come you're more anxious than me, your master?" Yin Shenggong looked at Mu Linyuan suspiciously. "Old man, are you trying to snatch my disciple?"

Mu Linyuan was stunned, his heart racing. He stared in disbelief.

"Master... Why are you suddenly saying this? I'm being wrongfully accused," Mu Linyuan said.

"If I could snatch him, I would've done it when Sun Yuan died. Why wait until now?" Mu Linyuan replied.

Qian Sanjiang and Hou Fang also laughed.

Yin Shenggong hummed and rolled his eyes, "Fine, you two can leave now. Night Demon's matter has been dragging on for so long. Now that I finally have time, I'll report to Vice-Sect Master Yan immediately."

"Master, please rest early."

The three of them left.

Then, Yin Shenggong began his report.

First, he presented all of Night Demon's reports to Yan Nan without changing a word.

Then, he began to state his own opinions.

When it came to Night Demon's matter, Yan Nan preferred to read the intelligence reports himself, and it was unclear if this was a special case or not.

But every time he did this, Vice-Sect Master Yan always seemed satisfied.

So Yin Shenggong also formed a habit: Since Vice-Sect Master Yan believed that the information he read was the truth, why should I bother using my own brain? Just as he was racking his brains and interpreting Night Demon's words step by step, the Five Spirit Toad in his body suddenly jumped.

A message immediately popped up on the communication jade.

Yin Shenggong took a look and was shocked.

It was a message from Night Demon.

"Master, something terrible has happened," it read.

"Starlight has been exposed!"

These two sentences made Yin Shenggong's eyes almost pop out of their sockets, and he nearly fainted.

How could Starlight be exposed? If Starlight was exposed, then the Heavenly Escort Bureau...

Night Demon's message continued, "This is what happened. When I left the Heavenly Escort Bureau early this morning, someone was following me. The person had a medicinal scent on them, very clever and powerful. It took a lot of effort for my disciple to shake them off..."

"Then, one of the officials in the Guardian Hall got married a few days ago, and I went to the Yin-Yang Realm because I missed the wedding. Something happened that day..."

"Then, I went to his house in the afternoon... and encountered... the Miracle Doctor... and went to see him... and discovered..."

"This person is called Yao Ping'an. His appearance... cultivation is probably... He insisted... that he had saved Starlight... and..."

Fang Che described the incident in great detail.

He knew the seriousness of the matter, so he tried to perfect every detail.

Finally, the report was complete.

"Master, I suspect that this Yao Ping'an is from the Seal Palace. I've lost my composure over this matter. For now, I can only think of a way to stabilize Yao Ping'an, but I fear that the longer this drags on, the more trouble it will cause. Please give me your instructions as soon as possible, Master."

Not only had Fang Che lost his composure, but Yin Shenggong had also completely lost his. His vision blurred, and he almost fainted.

He felt like a snake that had just been struck on its seven-inch weak spot!

This move was truly deadly.

Night Demon only suspected that Yao Ping'an was from the Seal Palace, but Yin Shenggong could confirm it! And Yin Shenggong already had a guess as to who Yao Ping'an was!

He clenched his teeth in anger.

Too despicable!

Too shameless!

This was simply the number one scoundrel in the world!

"Calm down and wait for my news!"

Yin Shenggong hurriedly replied.

Then, he immediately sent all of this to Yan Nan.

This matter... Yin Shen Gong was very clear-minded. Although Duan Xiyang was right here, Duan Xiyang had Yan Beihan by his side. If Duan Xiyang were to act, it would be very easy to expose Fang Che's identity as the Starlight Chief.

Yan Beihan's current deep concern for the Nightmare Sect was also absolutely a security risk.

Moreover, how could he possibly command Duan Xiyang? It had to go through Yan Nan! The headquarters of the Only Righteous Sect.

Yan Nan was engrossed in reading the news about the Nightmare Sect sent by Yin Shen Gong, and he felt like he was reading a joke.

Especially the details about the Yin Yang Realm reported by the Nightmare Sect.

More importantly, there was also news about his granddaughter, Yan Beihan.

This made Yan Nan even more interested, and he read every word with a smile on his face.

Indeed, Duan Xiyang was reliable. Secretly arranging for the Nightmare Sect to enter and protect Yan Beihan was a good move.

Xiao Han's cultivation was naturally much higher than the Nightmare Sect outside, and she didn't need the Nightmare Sect's protection at all. But it was different once she entered the Yin Yang Realm.

With everyone starting anew on equal footing, she would naturally need help.

Duan Xiyang had the foresight. This old man still had some brains.

Seeing that the Nightmare Sect mentioned being bullied by Yan Beihan inside but still wanted to protect her, and other matters, Yan Nan saw a smile on his lips.

This boy knew his place.

As for the report from the Nightmare Sect, the fact that all the heavenly treasures brought out from the Yin Yang Realm were taken by Xue Fuxiao, the Nightmare Sect's pain and reluctance... and the statement that it would 'probably enhance the foundation of the Guardian greatly, which is not beneficial to my sect'.

Yan Nan was a little dissatisfied.

It was simply shortsighted and petty! Your identity is that of a Guardian, and you should naturally hand them over after coming out; Xue Fuxiao is waiting over there to receive them, and you still want to keep them for yourself? This kind of enlightenment is unacceptable!

You are still under review, what are you reluctant to give up? Besides, with the few things you brought out, you actually have the audacity to say that it can enhance the 'entire foundation of the Guardian'. Where did you get such confidence?

"This point needs to be addressed."

Then, he saw the second message sent by Yin Shen Gong, the Nightmare Sect's oversight.

After thinking about it, it wasn't a big deal.

"Just follow what the Nightmare Sect said, and it will prevent future troubles."

"But you must not make similar mistakes again. This also needs to be addressed!"

Overall, these messages were good, and as for the matter of vigorously developing the Heavenly Escort Bureau, Yan Nan immediately saw the benefits.

"Must vigorously develop!"

Just as he was about to reply to Yin Shen Gong and issue the order, he noticed that Yin Shen Gong was in a hurry and sent another message.

It was still news from the Nightmare Sect.

Yan Nan took a glance and instantly felt a surge of anger.

"Reporting to the Deputy Sect Leader, the above two messages were sent by the Nightmare Sect at dawn, but during this time, Chief Duan and Miss Yan have been here, so I didn't dare to look... I just saw it and sent it to the Deputy Sect Leader."

"This matter regarding the Starlight is an urgent message just sent by the Nightmare Sect. It's an emergency."

"Please instruct, Deputy Sect Leader."

Yan Nan exploded: "Who is this?"

"It's not known yet... but I suspect that the Nightmare Sect's Starlight identity has no grudges with outsiders, but during the establishment of the branch sect, a few headquarters' family members died... but I don't think it's them."

Yin Shen Gong cautiously said: "Among the four sects of the Southeast Five Sects, three have withered, the Nightmare Sect is as good as gone, the Heaven God Sect has been crippled, and my One Heart Sect has suffered no losses..."

He was smart enough to just explain the situation.

Yan Nan was furious.

They were all from the same sect, and they kept fighting and scheming against each other day after day, couldn't they just calm down a bit?

"Is Duan Xiyang still by your side?"

"Yes. Chief Duan is still here and hasn't left."

Yan Nan immediately said: "Go find Duan Xiyang! Then report the matter privately! Do you understand?"

Yin Shen Gong understood.

'Privately' and 'report' were parallel, meaning Yan Nan still didn't want Yan Beihan to know too much.

So he immediately went to find Duan Xiyang.

Yan Beihan was in Duan Xiyang's room, playing chess with him.

Duan Xiyang's requirement was that Yan Beihan could not breathe until the end of a game. But each move had to be different, with sword intent, sword intent, spear intent... and various weapon intents, plus the fusion of sun, moon, and star intents, all had to be constantly rotated.

It had to be pure.

So playing chess with Duan Xiyang was not a pleasant experience. Often, after a game, Yan Beihan would faint on the spot.

Yan Beihan, with her multi-tasking abilities, had a pale face and a shaky body.

But Duan Xiyang was merciless, pretending not to see.

He wasn't Yan Nan, so there was no such thing as being soft-hearted!

Outside, Yin Shen Gong's voice rang out: "Chief Duan, it's me, Yin Shen Gong, with an urgent matter to report."

Beside them, Red Aunt, who was worried, felt like she had been pardoned and hurriedly looked at Duan Xiyang.

Duan Xiyang's eyelids didn't move, and he said indifferently: "Wait!"

Yin Shen Gong bowed and waited in the courtyard.

Duan Xiyang continued playing chess, his hawk-like gaze fixed on Yan Beihan: "Are you glad someone came to disturb us?"

Yan Beihan said: "I dare not."

"After this game, we'll play another one. What kind of intent are you merging? It's all over the place. You're disgracing Yan Nan as his granddaughter!"

Yan Beihan's face turned pale, and she struggled to gather her spiritual sense, using two fingers to pick up a chess piece, concentrating on spear intent, and placing it down with a 'pa' sound.

The chess piece landed on the board and didn't move a muscle.

She immediately retracted her fingers and gathered her strength again.
