Chapter 540: The Night Emperor's Master's Sect 【Two-in-One】
Chapter 540: The Night Emperor's Master's Sect 【Two-in-One】
Sky King Flute never expected to encounter Bu Chou here.
Upon hearing that the Donghu Night Emperor had reappeared, Sky King Flute rushed directly from the headquarters of the Only Righteous Sect without a moment's rest.
After confirming the news at the Southeast Headquarters, he immediately headed to Donghu Zhou.
But as soon as he arrived, he encountered a troublemaker.
Bu Chou!
This guy, even if he showed his heart to him, wouldn't believe him, which made him both anxious and angry.
The Night Emperor was definitely lurking in the shadows, waiting to ambush him.
If he fought Bu Chou with all his strength, and the Night Emperor launched a sneak attack, he wouldn't be able to withstand it. This was very unfavorable for his purpose.
The Wind and Cloud Staff roared, its shadow stretching out in countless directions, powerful and heavy.
Sky King Flute flipped his body, and with a tap of the Jade Flute, he used eighty percent of his strength this time.
Pa!
Tapping on the Wind and Cloud Staff, he said calmly, "Since Brother Bu is so adamant, then I'll take my leave. Night Emperor, I know you know I'm here. If you still have any doubts about what happened back then, come find me outside the city."
With a boom, the two clashed with their spiritual power, and Sky King Flute's slender body flew out, instantly turning into a black dot in the white clouds.
He disappeared.
Since Bu Chou was here, he might as well not go down tonight.
With the Soul Summoning Melody played three times, the Night Emperor would definitely know he had arrived. Next, it was up to his reaction.
At the same time, he had already expressed his stance tonight, and he also needed to wait for the response from the higher-ups of the Protectors.
And this required time.
But he had already made it clear that he didn't want to engage in a life-and-death battle with the Protectors.
Bu Chou held the Wind and Cloud Staff, standing in mid-air.
Looking in the direction Sky King Flute had left, his eyes filled with worry, his face grave, and his figure somewhat desolate.
Sky King Flute, being the eighth on the Cloud-End Arsenal Ranking, was indeed much more powerful than Bu Chou, who was eleventh. Although Bu Chou had made significant progress recently, it was still impossible for him to surpass Sky King Flute!
I'm no match for him!
Bu Chou immediately contacted Dongfang Sansan using the Communication Jade, "Sky King Flute is here, and I'm no match for him."
This time, Dongfang Sansan, for the first time, responded instantly, "Don't fight him. This time, Sky King Flute came with a connection and delivered a message to me."
Bu Chou's eyes widened in an instant.
There was a backroom deal?
"Sky King Flute promised that this time, he won't harm a single innocent person and will only take care of personal matters."
Dongfang Sansan explained, "It should be related to the old grudge with the Donghu Night Emperor. We don't have any specific information about the details, but the Night Emperor's side has also clearly stated that they don't want us to interfere."
Bu Chou was perplexed.
No wonder Sky King Flute was so well-behaved this time, and he didn't go on a killing spree. But how do you also have a connection with the Donghu Night Emperor?
Didn't this guy just recover? How could he have immediately gone to Rocky City to report?
Bu Chou was baffled, as this shouldn't and couldn't be possible.
Dongfang Sansan said, "I promised Yan Nan that no one on the Cloud-End Arsenal Ranking would fight Sky King Flute!"
Bu Chou was perplexed again, "What does this mean?"
Dongfang Sansan sighed, "Bu Chou, you have to figure it out yourself. For example, take a blade of grass. You can also think about the process from its birth as a tender sprout to its withering, the wind and rain it endures, the dangers it faces, how many blades of grass are eaten by cattle and sheep, cut down by sickles, and how many can live out their lives until they naturally wither in the winter... If you can think like this for every matter, won't your mind become active? And you can also comprehend the ultimate truth and the mysteries of life and death..."
Bu Chou scratched his head, "Ninth Brother, do I have to study a blade of grass?"
He stepped on the grass and looked perplexed, "What's the use of this? The ultimate truth? This grass? Grass? Grass! Damn it, Sky King Flute, I should be studying this now!"
Dongfang Sansan said, "... You're busy, I have something to attend to."
And the connection was cut off.
Bu Chou was puzzled, "What does this mean?"
He suddenly felt that Ninth Brother's mind wasn't always functioning well.
Making me study grass? Haha...
...
Si Kong Ye was like a wisp of blue smoke, invisible and traceless, moving alongside the clouds.
Watching Sky King Flute leave the city, he thought for a moment and silently followed him.
From start to finish, there was not a hint of emotional fluctuation.
The matter from those years!
These three words stirred some thoughts in his heart; originally, he wanted to recover to his peak before finding Sky King Flute.
But now that you're here.
So, it's better to test the waters first.
He had been observing the battle between the two for a long time, but... Sky King Flute didn't give him a single opportunity to intervene!
"In these years, he has also made significant progress. As for me, I haven't fully recovered."
...
Fang Che and the others, along with five people, returned to the Patrol Hall at the first opportunity.
It's worth mentioning that after arranging everything here, Fang Che had already moved Night Meng from the inn to live in the Patrol Hall, even before his Fang Wangfu was completed.
A separate large room was prepared.
Fang Che was being utterly shameless, using his power to bring his wife to live with him. He would often work from home, and his overbearing attitude was suffocating. Rain Zhong Ge and others would frequently put on a facade of being angry but not daring to speak out, using this as an excuse to freeload or try to get close to Ye Meng, hoping he could introduce them to a potential wife.
Ye Meng was at a loss for words: "I don't have any female friends, okay? Why don't you guys believe me? You all think I have many female friends just because you've decided I do?" Did he need to go out of his way to make some female friends just to prove it?
Meanwhile, Fang Che had taken the five unconscious individuals to a previously prepared Torture Chamber. He picked one of them up and began to operate on them. No one noticed that Fang Che's Boundless Scripture had already entered the person's meridians, reaching their heart.
With full force, he suppressed the Five Spirit Toad within the person's body. "Dong Yun Yu!" Fang Che called out.
"Present!" Dong Yun Yu replied.
"I don't care what methods you use, but I want you to get the information about the Green Dragon Gang and their hideout from this person as quickly as possible!" Fang Che ordered.
Dong Yun Yu was taken aback: "Boss, this person has a Five Spirit Toad inside them and could die at any moment. Moreover, this is equivalent to betraying their sect! We won't be able to get anything out of them!"
"Just do it!" Fang Che glared at him. "Before the Five Spirit Toad retaliates, get the information we need! Use any method you like, it's your problem!"
"Got it!" Dong Yun Yu took the person away.
As soon as Fang Che and the others left, they heard a blood-curdling scream. Inside, Dong Yun Yu was already interrogating the person without any restraint.
Feng Xiang Dong couldn't help but admire: "Dong Yun Yu is really useful, leaving a trail of destruction wherever he goes. He's also skilled at Torture Interrogation... and his combat experience is rich. He's unbeatable in verbal sparring... Boss, where did you find this weirdo?"
Fang Che sighed: "I've said it before, but you might not believe me. This guy was forced on me by someone else... I didn't want him at first either..."
The other six people burst out laughing.
"You've all seen it, since Dong Yun Yu joined the team, our daily training and sparring sessions have become a joke. We're all at each other's throats!"
Fang Che listened to the screams and sighed: "I'm not bragging, but if I weren't the leader, this team would have been torn apart by Dong Yun Yu a long time ago!"
Feng Xiang Dong and Xue Wan Ren both let out a sigh. This was the truth. After spending time with Dong Yun Yu, everyone knew about his malicious tendencies.
Having him in the team meant that every day was chaotic, with everyone at each other's throats.
However, Feng Xiang Dong, who was the oldest among them, said: "Dong Yun Yu's antics may be troublesome, but they've also revealed our weaknesses and personality flaws. Through constant friction, we've been able to smooth out our rough edges."
Feng Xiang Dong continued: "At first, it was hard to accept, but once we understood each other's weaknesses and could work on improving them... it's been beneficial for our long-term relationships. We know each other's personalities and traits better than we know ourselves."
Fang Che nodded in agreement. Feng Xiang Dong's words were true: many brothers who had been through life and death together eventually drifted apart due to misunderstandings. But with Dong Yun Yu's constant provocation, the situation was different.
If someone's words hurt you, but you didn't realize it, Dong Yun Yu would keep poking at that sore spot until you couldn't take it anymore. And when you finally lashed out, everyone would understand what was wrong.
The others nodded in agreement, deep in thought. It was indeed true.
Rain Zhong Ge and the others may have won against Feng Xiang Dong and Xue Wan Ren, but when it came to life experience and understanding human nature, they still deferred to their seniors.
Fang Che had filled in the gaps: "You may be able to kill someone with one finger, but you still have to respect them as your elder."
Can you really learn anything from him?
Regarding matters of the heart and social skills, these aren't things that can be replaced by brute force!
So, Yu Zhong Ge and the others have their roles straightened out as well.
Every time Fang Che and Feng Xiangdong, Xue Wanren, and the others speak seriously, everyone feels like they gain some insights.
Perhaps some of these insights are vague, but one day, they will surely understand. And when that day comes, they will exclaim: "Big Brother is truly a Big Brother."
"However, in the future, when we encounter other teams, especially friendly ones... Dong Yun Yu definitely can't be the diplomatic messenger."
Fang Che said, "When that time comes, we must restrain him! Otherwise, he'll mess up the entire world, leaving only our small team to deal with it... His previous team kicked him out for this very reason."
Everyone looked solemn, "Yes, we will remember. We'll definitely be more careful from now on."
The screams from inside grew increasingly agonizing.
The poor Qinglong Gang member was being tortured by Dong Yun Yu to the point of life and death.
"I'll talk, I'll talk! I've betrayed the sect! The Qinglong Gang headquarters is..."
This person screamed in despair, "Why am I not dead yet? Five Spirit Toad, why aren't you backfiring?!
This feeling of despair was indescribable.
I'd rather betray the sect and die, but I can't even die!
Why isn't it backfiring? I've already said everything I know, I've betrayed the sect, why am I not dead yet?
Isn't it supposed to kill you as soon as you reveal the sect's secrets? I've seen it happen many times!
Where is my Five Spirit Toad?
It wasn't until he repeated his confession several times that the Five Spirit Toad finally revived from suppression and backfired, causing his death.
When he suddenly died with blood gushing from his seven orifices, there was even a look of relief and joy in his eyes!
Dong Yun Yu walked out with the recorded confession, "This is the confession. This time, this guy didn't die immediately. It really surprised me."
"Next, let's interrogate the next one."
Dong Yun Yu took another one in, and this time, he came out even faster. The screams started but stopped shortly after, and he came out soon after.
"This one was quick, he died as soon as he opened his mouth... Sigh."
Dong Yun Yu looked puzzled, "I feel like the Five Spirit Toad of the Sole Righteous Sect is also a mixed bag."
"Nonsense."
Fang Che glared, "Even such rumors can spread? It could cost countless lives! Bring in the third one."
This time, Captain Fang personally brought in the elder named Tong Zhi Wang.
He immediately came out, "Take him for interrogation."
Dong Yun Yu went in, rubbing his fists.
Then, Tong Zhi Wang's screams turned inhuman, "Just kill me... Kill me... Give me a quick death..."
This Qinglong Gang elder who liked to eat human hearts had his Five Spirit Toad suppressed by Fang Che.
After being tortured by Dong Yun Yu to the brink of life and death, he confessed everything and begged the Five Spirit Toad to grant him death quickly. Still, the Five Spirit Toad didn't react.
Upon learning that this guy liked to eat human hearts, Dong Yun Yu used every cruel method he knew.
He was afraid this guy would die too easily.
After a full hour, Tong Zhi Wang had absolutely no will to live.
He sincerely confessed, repeating his words several times.
Finally, the Five Spirit Toad revived and killed him with a snap. When Tong Zhi Wang felt the Five Spirit Toad turning against him, his face was filled with relief.
Finally, he was free... His expression was one of gratitude to heaven and earth!
If not for his death, Tong Zhi Wang would have surely written an immortal article to thank the Five Spirit Toad.
Dong Yun Yu still felt unsatisfied.
He kicked the body a few times, "You got off too easy, you old bastard!"
Still angry, he took the confession and left, "The two confessions are basically the same."
"Then, it shouldn't be wrong."
Fang Che nodded, "For safety, you should interrogate the other two as well."
This time, Fang Che personally took them in.
But these two died very quickly.
All five died without a trace.
"Should we send the confessions to the Commanders-in-Chief now?" Yu Zhong Ge asked.
"Hehe, with the Sky King Flute here, do you think the Commanders-in-Chief have time for this Qinglong Gang matter? Even if we find them, it'll only cause trouble."
Feng Xiangdong said, "Let's sleep. We can do it early tomorrow."
Turning to Fang Che, he said, "But you should still send a message to the Commanders-in-Chief, telling them we obtained the confessions and will send them tomorrow. Let's keep the Commanders-in-Chief informed."
"Mhm." Fang Che nodded, giving the others a meaningful look, "Got it?"
The six of them obediently nodded, "Got it."
The interrogation was over.
When Feng Xiangdong and Xue Wanren, the two younger brothers, went to clean up the mess, Yu Zhong Ge and Jing Shuanghe rushed to help, "We'll do it, we'll do it... You two rest."
Although the older brother's status was unshakable, it didn't mean they didn't feel competitive.
In these days, Fang Che, Xue Wanren, and Feng Xiangdong had taught them a lot. If they didn't show some respect and let them handle things, they'd feel guilty.
You have to admit that being older has its advantages.
Everyone secretly acknowledged this in their hearts.
Although Dong Yun Yu was also older, although he didn't teach us anything... Wait!
Dong Yun Yu was also very useful. At least, he taught us the art of being despicable!
In the future, when encountering enemies, we can use this skill to humiliate them, making them lose their composure and giving us an advantage.
This is also a skill!
After cleaning up.
Everyone returned to their rooms.
The nine little ones, led by Ren Chun, quietly took out some cloth and carefully wiped down every inch of the room.
The one with the keenest sense of smell, Ren Dong, sniffed the air, her little butt wiggling as she checked every corner for any traces of blood or foul odors. Only after confirming that there were none did she stop.
The nine children cherished their current living environment.
They had never lived in such a nice place before.
So, every day, they cleaned several times, fearing any odors or dirt, not because they were afraid of being scolded, but because they simply couldn't bear to see it dirty.
Such a nice house, how could it be dirty? Even the toilet was flushed several times a day.
Fang Che entered the room.
He immediately turned around and closed the door, continuously throwing out five or six soundproof barriers.
It had been many days since he did this, and today was the first day they moved in, feeling completely at ease.
Fang Che naturally had some thoughts.
Ye Meng looked at Fang Che and said, "Wait a moment, I'm still sorting out the accounts."
Fang Che didn't care about the accounts at all. He chuckled and said, "Little Meng, do you know what the first skill I learned after reaching the Royal level was?"
"What?"
"Soundproof Barrier!"
Fang Che proudly said, "Do you know what I want to do with this skill?"
Ye Meng's face turned red, and she angrily said, "Have some decency, I'm not talking to you anymore."
Fang Che chuckled and said, "Today, the Heavenly King Xiao came..."
As he spoke, he leaped like a tiger and pounced, "I'll teach you..."
...
In the middle of the night.
The Heavenly King Xiao sat alone on the mountain peak.
The jade flute rested on his lap.
The surroundings were empty and deserted.
The night wind blew fiercely, causing the Heavenly King Xiao's clothes to flutter.
His mind remained as calm as a lake, clearly reflecting all movements within a thousand zhang around him.
It was just like when he fought with Bu Chou, even when facing a powerful enemy, he wouldn't give anyone a chance to ambush him.
This was his usual state.
And now, even more so.
Because he clearly knew that his old opponent was a person of exceptional skill.
He was one of the most outstanding assassins in the world today!
Given the slightest opportunity, he could achieve a kill!
In the night sky, the bright moon hung high.
The clear blue sky could be seen, with a few white clouds slowly drifting past the bright moon.
The mountain wind grew colder.
The Heavenly King Xiao closed his eyes and said calmly, "Si Kong Ye, you've come!"
The surroundings were silent, and he seemed to be talking to the air.
"Since you've come, you must have searched the area within a few thousand zhang, and with your abilities, you naturally know that there are no ambushes this time."
"So, why didn't you show yourself when you came?"
The Heavenly King Xiao's voice was calm, "Are you afraid of me? Afraid that I'll kill you? You haven't recovered to your peak yet?"
The surroundings remained silent.
The Heavenly King Xiao smiled faintly and said, "The treasure map I took from you last time was definitely fake. I've even turned over the mountains there. There's nothing!"
"So this time, I don't want to kill you, I just want this. As long as you give it to me, I'll leave immediately. Moreover, I'll help you stabilize the underground world, and even help you become the number one Night Emperor in the world!"
The Heavenly King Xiao said, "Although I'm a demon, and our Unique Righteous Sect doesn't really value promises and such, you should understand me. I'm a man of my word. What I say, I'll stand by until death!"
"After so many years, although I almost killed you, you believe what I say. This, I can be sure of!"
The surroundings remained silent.
It seemed like the Night Emperor hadn't come at all.
"Si Kong Ye, now that our sect is left with just the two of us, our senior uncle once shook the world with the Dragon God Spear, and our master, in his old age, also terrorized the rivers and lakes with the Ghost King Xiao. Both of them were at the peak of humanity. But you and I, we can't even make it into the top three, it's really embarrassing for our sect."
The Heavenly King Xiao said, "Si Kong Ye, aren't you ashamed?"
"Since your physique can't do it, why don't you give it to me? Am I not a member of the sect? I did join the Unique Righteous Sect, but even if you and I fight to the death, you should still call me... Senior Brother, right?"
The Heavenly King Xiao said, "Why bother, Si Kong Ye? In terms of age, you're much younger than me, but after so many years of experience in the rivers and lakes, can't you see through this?"
The surroundings remained silent.
The Heavenly King Xiao sighed softly, "Junior Brother, it's our duty to revive the sect and restore its former glory. You're being stubborn for personal grudges, disregarding the honor of the sect. Are you really right in doing so?"
"You're not the protector, just an emperor of the underground world."
"Si Kong Ye, are you really right?"
He muttered to himself on the mountain peak, looking awkward and a bit strange.
But he was very certain.
The Night Emperor must have come, and he must be listening.
