Chapter 478: Who's the Demon? (Part 1)

Upon seeing the three characters 'Nightmare Sect', the Seal God Palace's scalp went numb.

Oh no, what's this big trouble now? Why are there so many issues lately?

He quickly replied, "What's wrong?"

He stopped in his tracks and returned to the Righteousness Only Sect.

First, he needed to focus on handling the matter with his disciple.

As for Fang Che's side... Well, there's still time, it's not too late. But the situation with the Nightmare Sect couldn't be delayed.

Mu Linyuan and Hou Fang followed behind, but for some reason, they turned back just after stepping out of the main gate.

Hou Fang couldn't help but feel perplexed.

He sent a sound transmission to Mu Linyuan, "What's going on?"

Mu Linyuan, unperturbed, replied through a sound transmission with his hands tucked in his sleeves, "Probably comforting his treasure."

Hou Fang suddenly understood, "The little rascal sent another message?"

Mu Linyuan smirked, "Probably. No one else would be so attentive. He even came back specifically after just leaving."

Hou Fang clicked his tongue, "Tsk tsk, he's truly a treasure. I bet he's forgotten how he tormented her... Now she's been straightened out..."

Mu Linyuan sighed, "There's no other way. If I had such a treasure, I'd be doting too."

Hou Fang clicked his tongue again, "Tsk tsk... Seeing how he is, those who know he's talking to his disciple might think he's coaxing his mistress."

Mu Linyuan disagreed, "What mistress could compare to such a treasure? Your words are wrong. It's like a henpecked husband dealing with his wife's period."

Hou Fang nodded, "That's right, Mu Boss is right. Tsk... Even an arrogant old bachelor like the Sect Master can only be held by his disciple."

"Hehe, watch your facial expressions, don't let it show."

"Of course."

So, the two of them followed the Seal God Palace with grave and worried expressions, looking solemn and dignified.

But inside, they were laughing so hard their intestines were about to cramp.

...

"Master, something big has happened..."

Before Fang Che could finish his sentence, the Seal God Palace had already replied.

"What's wrong?"

Fang Che was shocked.

Wow, is the old demon master hanging the communication jade in his palm all day?

This attitude deserves a praise.

"Master, your reply is so fast. I didn't expect you to be this quick."

"If you have something to say, say it. Don't be so cheeky."

The Seal God Palace was anxious.

"It's like this, Master. My promotion examination at the Guard Hall has temporarily ended, and I've taken a break. But the reason for this break is twofold. First, there's no evidence, only suspicions. Second, I've made too many contributions, especially after coming out of the Yin-Yang Realm. This is equivalent to contributing to all Guardians, so the promotion examination has been canceled."

The Seal God Palace frowned as he read this message.

He understood the meaning behind these words. It wasn't that the Guardians no longer suspected him, but that the examination was temporarily canceled.

In other words, they could bring up old suspicions when they wanted to examine him again.

This was really frustrating.

They keep dragging this out, don't they? Is this how the Guardians torment people? Is this even reasonable? It's utterly incomprehensible!

The Nightmare Sect's messages kept coming.

"Moreover, the Fang Family of Green Wave City also sent a banner, rewards, and even a Continental Hero Medal."

"But if I want a smooth promotion, these suspicions still exist, and I can't completely dispel them. It's said that the Eastern Army Master ordered me to take the Heart Questioning Path again. This time, the Law Enforcement Minister, Yan Wuzui, will personally preside over the Heart Questioning Path."

"After this, I can smoothly take up my post."

"Not many people know about this now. It seems to be an absolute secret. Only the Hall Master knows in the White Cloud Continent Guard Hall, and he personally came to inform me, instructing me to keep it strictly confidential."

Fang Che said, "I'm a bit unclear about the meaning of this. Master, could you analyze it for me? I've already taken the Heart Questioning Path once, why do I have to do it again?"

The Seal God Palace also remembered this matter.

That's right, didn't he already take the Heart Questioning Path once?

"Don't be anxious, wait for my news."

Fang Che's mouth twitched.

That phrase again.

Over at the Seal God Palace, he was quickly heading towards Yan Nan.

"Vice Grand Master, the latest news from the Nightmare Sect is that the Eastern Army Master has arranged for him to take the Heart Questioning Path."

Then, he forwarded Fang Che's message without changing a word.

"This is the situation now, I hope the Vice Grand Master will decide."

Yan Nan's reply didn't come as quickly.

After half an hour, he finally replied, "Wait."

So, the Seal God Palace waited.

Yan Nan carefully read the message Fang Che sent to the Seal God Palace.

As he read, a smile appeared on his lips.

"It's a bit of a headache."

Yan Nan put himself in Dongfang Sansan's position and considered Fang Che.

"If I were Dongfang Sansan, I'd probably have a headache too."

"There are definitely suspicions about Fang Che, but these suspicions can no longer be verified. Those people from back then are all dead..."

"So I can't find evidence, but there's always this suspicion, which makes me hesitant to promote him. But Fang Che is very capable... and keeps making contributions."

"From the perspective of the Guardians, we can't ignore a contributor. But we can't just pretend to be unaware of his achievements, no matter how big they are. That's impossible. It would also lead to criticism from others."

"Just rewards and medals are not enough."

"He should have been promoted last time because Fang Che won the young generation's battle and became the first King of the Present. But with these suspicions, the promotion examination was initiated, which is equivalent to erasing Fang Che's promotion. It's fine to not mention it for a period of time. But who would've thought that Fang Che would enter the Yin-Yang Realm, bring out its resources, and become the first Guardian to enter and leave the Yin-Yang Realm alive.

"This contribution is significant, and the merits are sufficient."

"So it conflicts greatly with the previous detention and promotion assessment. At this time, not promoting him is no longer an option. It's impossible to suppress the gossip of the world."

"So now, for Dongfang Sansan, Fang Che must be utilized, and he must be promoted."

At this thought, Yan Nan sighed, "Although it's just a small matter, it still deviates from Dongfang Sansan's original plan."

"It's not uncomfortable, but it's a bit off. That's for sure."

"So this time, if we use him, it will be a significant use. Since it's a major use, there must be a threshold. Therefore, this threshold is set for this Heart Question Path."

"But this time, Dongfang Sansan is clearly giving it his all, and he dares not use anyone else, so he directly sends out his only disciple, who is also the person Dongfang Sansan trusts the most in this aspect, to preside over this Heart Question Path."

"In summary, as long as this Heart Question Path is passed, and as long as Fang Che himself doesn't cause any major issues in the short term, his future will essentially be wide open and smooth sailing!"

At this thought, how could Yan Nan not be happy?

Dongfang Sansan, you've finally fallen for my trick.

When I learned about the gathering at the Yin Yang Realm, I arranged for Duan Xiyang to send Nightmare in.

And before Nightmare entered the Yin Yang Realm, I had already anticipated this.

This time, Dongfang Sansan, you're basically following the script I gave you, you little hothead!

"So the most crucial thing now is whether Fang Che can withstand this Heart Question Path! Although it's a good thing, he must be able to endure the Heart Question Path. Can Nightmare's divine soul strength withstand Yan Wuzui personally presiding over the Heart Question Path?"

Yan Nan didn't have a grasp on this.

So he flashed his body, and with his divine consciousness, he located Yan Beihan, disappearing directly from the office.

He appeared before Yan Beihan.

At this moment, Yan Beihan and Bi Yunyan were both holding pens, with a large stack of paper in front of them, listing names.

Then, based on these listed names, they analyzed them one by one.

Yan Nan's sudden appearance startled Bi Yunyan.

"Greetings, Patriarch!"

Yan Beihan was also surprised. When did Grandpa start making such sudden attacks?

"Grandpa, why are you here?"

"I have something to tell you."

Yan Nan smiled, "Yunyan is here too. Yunyan, you play by yourself, I need to ask Xiao Han about something."

"Yes, Patriarch."

Bi Yunyan bowed respectfully.

So Yan Nan took Yan Beihan away, and with a flash, they entered the realm.

"What's up, Grandpa? I'm busy."

"Regarding your matters in the Yin Yang Realm."

Yan Nan said, "I heard from your Red Aunt that you had contact with Fang Che, the Guardian, in the Yin Yang Realm?"

Yan Beihan nodded, "Yes."

Yan Nan asked, "How is that person?"

Yan Beihan replied, "Grandpa, which aspect are you referring to?"

Yan Nan specified, "In terms of divine soul."

Yan Beihan answered, "He's a bit stronger than me."

"Stronger than you?" Yan Nan was surprised.

"Yes." So Yan Beihan recounted how he and Fang Che had discovered the divine soul treasure inside, saying, "I didn't really believe it at first because the Yin Yang Realm eventually lifted its restrictions on divine souls. So the enhancement of divine consciousness inside can be brought out."

"Oh?"

Yan Nan immediately sensed Yan Beihan's divine consciousness power and smiled, "Your divine consciousness power has indeed improved significantly, more than doubling since before entering the Yin Yang Realm."

"Yes, Grandpa."

"That Fang Che is actually stronger than you..."

Yan Nan contemplated, "That Fang Che is a rising star among the Guardians, and it's said that he's ruthless towards the Righteous Only Sect. If you meet him in the future, don't think that your past interactions in the Yin Yang Realm have created any friendship... That was just temporary cooperation, a temporary measure. You understand, right?"

"I understand."

"If you're taken advantage of, it could be a major issue. Fang Che is considered extremely capable among the younger generation. You must not take him lightly. This person may become a formidable opponent for you in the future."

Yan Nan spoke with gravitas.

Yan Beihan lowered his head and said, "Yes, Grandpa, I won't be that foolish. If I have the chance to meet him in the rivers and lakes next time, I'll kill him right away! We can't leave such a dangerous enemy alive!"

Yan Nan's mouth twitched slightly, feeling that he might have been too harsh.

Moreover, killing Fang Che would not be a difficult task for his granddaughter.

She could easily do it.

Damn...

He could only smile faintly and say, "Killing a Guardian of this level is not a big deal for you. However, what's most important is that under the stimulation of your opponent, you continuously learn and improve. You should focus on your achievements in the distant future, not just the present. Do you understand?"

Yan Beihan said, "I understand, Grandpa. Opponents are the true driving force that will help me reach the pinnacle. Rest assured, Grandpa, this Fang Che currently doesn't have the qualifications to be on my mind, let alone be my opponent. If he doesn't provoke me, I'll leave him alone. But if he does, I'll never show mercy. I'm clear about this."

"That's good, that's good."

Yan Nan nodded and coughed, saying, "Then you can continue playing. Grandpa's leaving."

Yan Beihan said with dissatisfaction, "Grandpa, what do you mean by playing? I'm doing serious work. Why do you always think I'm playing when you mention me? Grandpa, you need to change this mindset, or else I won't be able to stand on my own."

"Yes, yes, yes."

This time, Yan Nan was cornered by his granddaughter, and he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, serious work, serious work, haha... Grandpa's leaving."

"With a whoosh, the domain was withdrawn, leaving no trace."

Yan Beihan hummed.

He muttered, "They all think I'm a fool, but I know everything. They even told me to be wary of Fang Che. Hmph... When I said I'd kill him, it scared the old man. I knew it!"

"Hmph! They really think I'm stupid too!"

He arrogantly tilted his head and returned to work with Bi Yunyan.

Yan Nan returned to the office, grinning.

He was almost scared to death by this little girl.

She was always shouting about killing and fighting, which was truly outrageous.

But thinking about Yan Beihan's Divine Consciousness, and then considering that Fang Che was even stronger than Yan Beihan, he immediately felt relieved.

Then he thought about why Fang Che's Divine Soul was so powerful: the Dream Demon. Yes, the Dream Demon had been in Fang Che's mind for so long.

Fang Che had devoured so much of the Dream Demon's Divine Consciousness, so it was natural that he would benefit from it.

Therefore, it wasn't surprising that Fang Che's Divine Soul was stronger than Yan Beihan's.

But now a new problem arose: where did the Dream Demon go after leaving Fang Che?

There was no news at all.

Finally, the investigator gave Yan Nan a reply.

"When the Dream Demon left Fang Che, only its Divine Soul remained, and its physical body had completely perished. The planned Avatar was also gone. So the Dream Demon's top priority now is to find a new physical body."

"The Dream Demon's Divine Soul needs a lot of time and resources to merge with a new body. Moreover, during the initial fusion period, the Dream Demon is mostly unconscious."

"This kind of situation has happened before with the Dream Demon. So, the fact that there's no news from the Dream Demon right now isn't necessarily a bad thing. Perhaps it's just hiding somewhere, recovering."

Yan Nan was quite satisfied with this explanation.

Because that's just how the Dream Demon was.

Moreover, Yan Nan was well aware that the Dream Demon had the Soul of Divine Power, which was truly an immortal soul.

Therefore, Yan Nan had never worried about the Dream Demon's life and death.

He simply instructed: "Keep an eye out and bring him back to the sect."

So, there was no issue with the Dream Demon...

After thinking it over, there didn't seem to be any major problem.

He replied to the Seal God Palace, "There's no need to be surprised. This is a good thing. Let Nightmare pass the trial peacefully."

The Seal God Palace then replied to Fang Che, "There's no need to be surprised. This is a good thing. Just focus on passing the trial."

The message was concise and powerful, and it indeed exuded a sense of grandeur.

Fang Che had waited half a day for this reply.

He felt a bit disappointed.

Shouldn't you be comforting me? Are you worried about me? Shouldn't you send me a lot of resources?

Why is this reply so plain and ordinary?

He sent a message, "Master, I'm a little scared."

"You're scared of nothing. If you weren't scared before, why are you scared now?"

The Seal God Palace scolded, "When your heart is free from selfishness, the world is wide open. You are the Guardian. What are you afraid of? What have you done that would make you feel guilty towards the Guardian? Do you understand?"

Fang Che's eyes widened.

"Damn, is this something the Old Demon could say?

"This... I can't believe it. I thought he was more determined than me."

"He didn't even give me a reward..."

Fang Che sent a message, feeling wronged.

Over there, the Seal God Palace almost laughed, "Get lost! You still want a reward after this? Get lost! As far as the sun is from here, that's how far you should get lost!"

"Yes, Master... I'll leave."

"Get lost! Get lost! Get lost!"

After three consecutive scoldings, the Seal God Palace cut off the communication.

Fang Che's eyes widened.

"Damn, I really didn't get any comfort, resources, or supplies.

The Old Demon must have transferred his affections to someone else.

He doesn't love me anymore."

He sent a message, "Master, you don't love me anymore..."

This earned him three more scoldings.

Fang Che shook his head.

He had completely lost hope.

He walked out of the study, furious, and practiced his sword ten thousand times! His knife ten thousand times! His spear ten thousand times! His halberd ten thousand times!

He unleashed his Divine Soul attack one hundred and eight times.

By the time he finished, it was already evening.

He continued his training, practicing crawling, rolling, and swordplay for one and a half hours!

He took a bath!

He returned to his room!

He caught Night Dream and practiced spear techniques for one and a half hours!

Today's task was complete.

He went to sleep.

It felt refreshing!

Night Dream was exhausted, like a rag doll that had been played with, and fell asleep with empty eyes.

...

That night, Dongfang Sansan finally finished editing Junlin's autobiography.

After his bold editing, only 3.6 million words remained from the original 18 million.

In Dongfang Sansan's opinion, it was still too long.

But this was the best result he could achieve.

He had thought Junlin's autobiography was only a few thousand words, and had prepared to add tens of thousands of words. He never expected that he would end up reducing the word count instead.

What was supposed to be a short autobiography had transformed into a long novel of several million words.

"This is..."

Dongfang Sansan held the edited jade slip and couldn't help but sigh.

As for the unedited version, Dongfang Sansan simply threw it into his spatial ring and buried it.

He couldn't destroy it, as it was Junlin's original work.
