Chapter 521: With a Blade in Hand, Revenge in Heart

"He's also doing it for your own good," Fang Che said insincerely.

"Of course it's for my own good, but the problem is that hearing too much of the same old lecture gets annoying!"

The Night Emperor sighed helplessly, "Do you believe that if our father were still alive, he wouldn't nag like him? He's even more nagging than the old ladies."

Fang Che chuckled and said, "Your words remind me of my mother."

The Night Emperor smiled and said, "But this morning, I realized that when you helped me force out the poison, you actually purified my Essence Energy and improved my Marrowbone endowment."

Fang Che was astonished, "Is this even possible?"

The Night Emperor sighed with emotion and smiled, saying, "So... in the future, when dealing with unfamiliar people, you can use Spirit Pills, but try not to use your cultivation techniques to heal others. This is the root of trouble, brother!"

"Yes!"

Fang Che solemnly replied, "Thank you, big brother, for your enlightenment."

The Night Emperor turned his head with a hint of melancholy, gazing into the empty sky outside the window, and said softly, "My master was once revered across the Dominion. Although I received his true teachings, my endowment wasn't of the highest caliber. Therefore, it's challenging for me to reach my master's level in this lifetime. This matter has always been a source of regret for me."

"But after healing my injuries last night, I saw this hope. Brother, this time, I owe you."

The Night Emperor spoke with utmost seriousness.

Fang Che laughed and changed the topic, "Can you tell me about that battle back then?"

"That battle..."

The Night Emperor smiled faintly, knowing that Fang Che's personality preferred not to discuss such emotional matters.

The Night Emperor was also someone who kept things to himself, but some words needed to be spoken openly.

Now that Fang Che had expressed his thoughts, the Night Emperor naturally skimmed over the topic.

This is the way of the world: when receiving a favor in secret, no matter how proud one is, and no matter how great the gap between them, one must express gratitude, even if the relationship is close.

Because from the perspective of the benefactor, it's like this: I don't say it, but you can't pretend you don't know.

If you pretend you don't know, I'll feel uncomfortable. Because I'll think you feel that I'm giving you something you deserve. These kinds of grudges can last a lifetime.

But if you express gratitude, the matter becomes clear.

Once it's clear, there's no need to discuss it further.

A wisp of smoke passed over the Night Emperor's face, and he said softly, "That battle... hehe, it was quite ordinary. To put it bluntly, it was just Martial Artists fighting for territory. The Only Righteous Sect wanted to recruit me to control the Underworld and completely overthrow Donghu Zhou. They wanted to be completely at odds with the Protectors!"

"Of course, the negotiations didn't go well because I disagreed. So, we fought. They bribed two of my brothers and poisoned me, and then the battle began. At first, I fought with a minor henchman and killed him with one move. They were so damn disrespectful."

The Night Emperor's voice remained calm without any fluctuation as he continued, "Later, a master from the Only Righteous Sect appeared, hehe, although I was poisoned beforehand, but if the Sky King Xiao hadn't shown up that day, I'm afraid that in that battle, all the members of the Only Righteous Sect would have been killed by me. One by one!"

"Did the Sky King Xiao appear that day?" Fang Che was taken aback because he hadn't heard of this figure, a master of the Only Righteous Sect's demonic path, in Zhao Shanhe's narration.

"Yes. Just as I was about to slay Li Yao, the Sky King Xiao pierced through my right chest from behind. I was too angry, and my reactions were slow due to the poison..."

The Night Emperor sighed.

"Six brothers sacrificed themselves to cover my escape... and were killed one by one by the Sky King Xiao!"

The Night Emperor's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot.

"They died right in front of me."

He paused, remaining silent for a long time.

It seemed like he was recalling the scene from back then, and it seemed like he could see the faces of his six brothers.

After a long while, he continued in a calm voice, "I finally broke through and escaped. The Sky King Xiao and the others immediately gave chase, but I turned back and killed the two traitors! Then, after taking another blow from the Sky King Xiao's sword and whip, I fled back to the Underworld."

"The Night Emperor's Eight Stars, since six brothers have already died for me, then the two traitors must also pay with their lives for the six brothers. Otherwise, I won't be able to rest in peace, and my brothers won't be able to rest in peace either! Why should they die while the traitors live?!"

The Night Emperor said indifferently, "That's why the Night Emperor's Eight Stars cannot be divided!"

Fang Che couldn't help but feel his heart tremble.

In such a dire situation, after barely escaping with their lives, they still returned to kill the traitors!

It was clear that the Night Emperor held deep hatred for those two traitors! But it was precisely because of his determination to kill them that he caught the enemy off guard and created an opportunity.

Imagining the intensity of that battle, Fang Che couldn't help but feel his heart race.

He could vaguely see the Night Emperor, dressed in black, his clothes stained with blood, fighting fiercely amidst the encirclement of enemies.

First, he was poisoned. Then, he was ambushed.

And then, he was attacked by the Sky King Xiao, ranked eighth in the Cloud Swordsmanship Rankings.

Yet, he still managed to kill two of the Eight Stars!

"In the following years, masters from the Only Righteous Sect kept entering the Underworld to search for me. Many loyal subordinates were killed..."

A wisp of smoke covered the Night Emperor's face again, obscuring his features.

"Over the years, every single leader I appointed in the Underworld has been killed off, and I've been hiding like a rat in the gutter."

"After a few years, the Only Righteous Sect realized they couldn't do anything, so they quietly withdrew. But the Underworld had already descended into chaos and disorder."

"I wanted to gather the remaining forces, but as soon as I revealed myself, a group of bandits ambushed me. So, I endured the worsening poison and killed them all! By then... the power of the Night Emperor in the Underworld had truly become a thing of the past."

"After that outbreak, I could no longer hold on, so I sent a message to my older brother to come and see me one last time."

"It turns out this old man has stolen quite a few good things over the years, enough to keep me alive until now."

The Night Emperor sighed deeply, "Speaking of these matters now, they are like the clouds of the past, like a dream, like an illusion. It's as if it was all a grand dream, and upon waking, there's no trace left."

The clouds on his face dissipated, and his emotions seemed to have calmed down.

But Fang Che knew that in his heart, this matter was not as light as he made it seem.

The Night Emperor would likely never forget that night of slaughter for the rest of his life.

"Is Big Brother seeking revenge?" Fang Che asked cautiously.

"I bear no grudge against the Only Righteous Sect, nor do I hate the two brothers who betrayed me," the Night Emperor said. "Everyone has their own life choices."

"Matters of the martial world are best left to the martial world. With a long sword in hand, revenge is in the heart."

The Night Emperor didn't answer directly but said lightly, "They wanted to kill me, and it was only right for me to kill them."

"But for now, I want to establish my underground dynasty."

The Night Emperor spoke calmly, "I'll wait for them to come to me."

"Then Big Brother will be busy. Your body has just recovered, and your strength hasn't reached its peak, so it's best to rest for now."

Fang Che felt relieved. The Night Emperor's words, 'I'll wait for them,' clearly showed his lucidity.

Revenge was necessary, but seeking it from the Only Righteous Sect was akin to seeking death!

However, once the news of the Night Emperor's survival spread, they would undoubtedly come!

"There's no need for rest. If I need to rest to deal with these people, then I, your older brother, am too useless."

The Night Emperor spoke calmly, "I can't wait to kill them all. I came to see you yesterday because I heard your purpose is the same as mine. If the poison can't be cured, I'll teach you everything I've learned in my life, and then you can take my place as the Night Emperor."

The Night Emperor smiled and said, "I didn't expect there to be such a pleasant surprise. In that case, you can continue being the Law Enforcement Heaven. I, the Night Emperor, will personally clean up this filthy underworld."

Fang Che clapped and laughed, "Of course, with Big Brother taking action, it's like a walk in the park."

He reminded, "But Big Brother... the stink bombs that the boss collected yesterday... there were two hundred of them. They are the ultimate treasures to defeat your enemies, especially against the future invasions of the Only Righteous Sect..."

The Night Emperor sighed powerlessly, "We're all old hands in the martial world. We know what the boss was up to with those things. Especially for me, they are invaluable. But... I have a phobia of dirt..."

Fang Che disagreed, "Isn't life more precious than cleanliness?"

The Night Emperor frowned, "I'll think about it... Oh, I'll think about it."

"Alright then."

Fang Che chuckled, "If there are any extras, you can give some to me. I don't mind dirt, and I can put them to good use... I'll throw them into people's nests."

The Night Emperor gagged.

He opened his eyes and said, "Forget it, I'll keep them for myself... But I can give you a hundred or so, to create the illusion that I'm helping you."

With that eye movement, Fang Che realized that the Night Emperor, Sikong Ye, and the Master Thief, Sikong Dou, were indeed brothers.

Their eye movements were so synchronized that not a hint of their black eyes could be seen.

"How do you plan to reorganize the Underworld, Big Brother?" Fang Che asked.

The Night Emperor frowned and said, "What do you mean? Or rather, what are your plans?"

He thought for a moment and said, "I've been thinking about this for the past seven years. My previous approach was undoubtedly flawed."

"How did you handle it before?"

Fang Che asked.

"With compassion and authority. Prosper those who follow me; each guards their territory, and the eight stars unite to govern!" The Night Emperor spoke calmly.

"That won't work!"

Fang Che didn't even have to think before rejecting the idea.

"I feel the same now."

The Night Emperor sighed.

"Dealing with the people in the Underworld is different from dealing with other sects above."

Fang Che said, "To put it bluntly, good people don't go to the Underworld. Those who make a living there are mostly heinous and devoid of humanity. Every single one of them deserves to die!"

Fang Che's words were filled with murderous intent.
