Chapter 545: The Only Righteous Sect Faces a Great Enemy

Bi Changhong had just met up with Duan Xi Yang to drink when they both received a notification.

The two men looked at each other in surprise.

Duan Xi Yang frowned at Bi Changhong, "You knew about this meeting, didn't you? Are you playing me by inviting me for a drink and then having something come up halfway there?"

Bi Changhong glared, "I just came from Yan Wu's side and had no idea about this. Why are they calling us again?"

Duan Xi Yang was annoyed, "Hmph, you're all sworn brothers, are you all playing me together?"

Bi Changhong was furious, "Do you need so many people to play with me?"

Duan Xi Yang said, "So you alone are enough?"

"I didn't say that!"

"But that's what you meant!"

"Is it worth it for you to be so petty? Let's get to the meeting! Come on!"

"Go to hell!"

Duan Xi Yang had the White Bone Gun in his hand and stabbed Bi Changhong's thigh with it.

Blood immediately flowed.

...

Bai Jing, Wu Xiao, and Xiang Beidou had all arrived, but Bi Changhong and Duan Xi Yang were late.

Yan Nan was very dissatisfied.

These two had been treating him with less and less respect lately. Was drinking so important? Besides, even after drinking, they still fought.

Yan Nan frowned and said, "Let's discuss the matter first..."

Before he could finish, they heard a whoosh, and Duan Xi Yang arrived.

Er, Bi Changhong also arrived.

The poor Vice Sect Leader Bi Changhong was covered in blood, had a big hole in his leg, and looked aggrieved.

"What happened?"

"This bastard said that all of us were playing him. Without another word, he stabbed me with the gun..."

Bi Changhong was furious, "Duan Xi Yang, you look at yourself. Is this playing with you?"

Duan Xi Yang calmly walked to the side and sat down, saying indifferently, "It's not, so it's not. Why are you shouting so loudly?"

Bi Changhong was furious, "Are you not going to say anything?"

Duan Xi Yang said, "Let's start the meeting!"

Bi Changhong was about to jump up and make a scene, but Chen Gu and the others stopped him, "Sixth Brother, forget it."

Bi Changhong went crazy, "Why do you all say 'forget it' every time I get beaten? Why should I be beaten? I've suffered enough because of what happened back then. Duan Xi Yang, you bastard, enjoy bullying me... Ugh... Glug!"

But Chen Gu stuffed a pill into his mouth and poured a mouthful of spiritual water.

After swallowing, he realized that Yan Nan had already started the meeting.

"We just received an extremely important message."

Yan Nan relayed the Night Demon's words to the other Vice Sect Leaders, saying, "You can see for yourselves how big this matter is. Or, the Night Demon who delivered the message doesn't even know what he's delivering. But you should be able to see that there's something here!"

Including Bi Changhong, after reading this message, they didn't have time to be angry with Duan Xi Yang.

They were all stunned.

"When did this Shadow Weasel Sect appear?" Bi Changhong and Chen Gu were both confused.

The others had the same expression.

"What did you see?"

Yan Nan asked with a serious face.

"First, the existence of the Shadow Weasel Sect; second, they've been hiding for many years; third, their target is us; fourth, they have long hair; fifth, their combat power is very high; sixth, the Shadow Weasel Sect's deity; seventh, the Protector is trying to contact them; eighth, we know nothing; ninth, and most importantly: the slaughter of civilians."

Chen Gu counted on his fingers, "First, the Shadow Weasel Sect's style is similar to ours, but they are our enemy."

"Second, we sometimes slaughter civilians with a purpose, needing the blood essence of living beings to supply the deity; but why does the Shadow Weasel Sect do it? It's terrifying when you think about it."

"Third, in a way, the Shadow Weasel Sect is like us, but why are they close to the Protector? It's terrifying when you think about it."

"Fourth, we haven't received any news for so many years, it's because Eastern San San sealed their mouths, but the Shadow Weasel Sect's secrecy is also tight. Why don't they keep it secret from the Protector but keep it secret from us?"

"Fifth, our Only Righteous Sect's power is now spread throughout the world, but there was no news before. Is it possible that we've never encountered anyone from the Shadow Weasel Sect? This is obviously impossible. Since we've encountered them, but there's no news, it can only prove that our people are dead."

"The Shadow Weasel Sect has taken secrecy to this level. How strong is their power? It's terrifying when you think about it. We have the Five Spirit Toad, but what does the Shadow Weasel Sect use?"

"And that black hair... You don't think that's still human hair, do you?"

"If it's not human hair but real animal hair, then is it a talking beast? What is it? Or is it some kind of skill that makes a person so beast-like? Or something else?"

"The Night Demon's disciple, at that time, although his strength was not at the peak and couldn't enter the Cloud-End Armory, it's not easy for an ordinary person to kill him so easily."

"There's one more thing. Over the years, the infamous assassin organization, Faceless Tower, has remained shrouded in mystery, specifically targeting our Unique Righteous Sect. And it's clear that they're not under the control of the Protector."

"Is there a connection here?"

Chen Gu's mind was exceptionally sharp, and he immediately raised a series of questions.

Just as Yan Nan had said, the information provided by the Night Demon was something they themselves didn't fully understand, let alone grasp its implications.

But for Yan Nan and the others, it struck a sensitive nerve.

In an instant, all the Vice Sect Leaders were on high alert.

"We have some basic information about the Shadow Weasel Sect in our records at the General Affairs Hall, but it's very limited. We couldn't dig up anything else."

Yan Nan said, "That's why I called you all here as soon as I received this news. Because, to some extent, it's already affecting the lifeblood of our Unique Righteous Sect."

"You may not remember, so let me remind you. How was it when we first started the sacrifice to the Heaven Centipede Deity? What about five thousand years ago? Three thousand years ago? And what about now?"

Yan Nan's words were cryptic.

But at this level, who would be foolish enough not to understand? Everyone furrowed their brows.

Yan Nan turned to Duan Xi Yang, "Old Duan, your feud with Bi Chang Hong, from today onwards, needs to be put on hold. We can't let it escalate any further. If it does, we might suffer a huge, unnecessary loss!"

Duan Xi Yang nodded nonchalantly, "I've been fighting him for over ten thousand years. I've long since run out of anger..."

Bi Chang Hong couldn't hold back, "Damn it!"

Yan Nan waved his hand to stop any further arguments.

Even Bi Chang Hong and Duan Xi Yang immediately fell silent, their expressions turning solemn.

Usually, their bickering was harmless, but when a major event was at hand, Yan Nan's authority and discipline were absolute.

Even if Duan Xi Yang made a fuss at this critical moment, Yan Nan would punish him without hesitation, and Duan Xi Yang wouldn't dare to resist.

This was the true nature of the Upper Echelons of the Unique Righteous Sect.

Xiong Jiang said, "I have a feeling that although the Shadow Weasel Sect has maintained its mystery, their history might not be as ancient as we think. Perhaps they've only been around for three to five thousand years."

"What makes you say that?" Xiang Beidou asked.

But the others had already made the connection, "Is it because of the Supreme Leader's defying-heaven strike against the deity?"

"Or perhaps it's related to the previous confusion of heavenly secrets."

"The Annihilation Strategy was eight thousand years ago, and the defying-heaven strike was three thousand years ago. After the Supreme Leader did that, the Protector, in order to maintain a glimmer of hope and ensure that our Unique Righteous Sect's geniuses could still compete, had Fang Lao Liu probe the Star River with his sword, attracting thunder to strike the top of the mountain, shattering the sky, and causing spiritual energy to pour down... But as a result, Fang Yunzheng was sacrificed! His soul scattered, and his body was destroyed!"

"If an external deity entered, it could only have been at that moment, with the slightest possibility!"

"Yes, three thousand years ago. And it wouldn't have been five thousand years ago when the Annihilation Strategy was used."

"So, at most, the Shadow Weasel Sect has been around for three thousand years since its appearance."

They discussed and debated.

The old demon leaders quickly pieced everything together.

Compared to the Protector, they had much more definite information, while the Protector had to rely on guesswork.

It's much more effective to work backward from a known fact than to start from scratch!

Information gap!

Yan Nan made a decisive statement, "Then let's start our investigation from three thousand years ago!"

"Understood!"

Yan Nan pondered, his mind racing like a hurricane, and said, "Focus on the Southeast!"

"Understood!"

"Duan Xi Yang!"

"Present!"

"You go to the Southeast, and no matter what methods you use, you must capture or kill someone from the Shadow Weasel Sect. Bring the person back, or at least their body!"

"Yes!"

Duan Xi Yang immediately agreed.

"Chen Gu, from today onwards, you will be stationed at the General Affairs Altar, in charge of sorting out all intelligence from the Southeast, until we pinpoint the location of the Shadow Weasel Sect's headquarters!"

"Yes!"

"Bi Chang Hong."

"Here."

"Use your authority to set up another altar and communicate with the Heaven Centipede Deity. Inform them about the Shadow Weasel Sect's situation and seek their divine guidance."

"Understood!"

"Bai Jing, Xiang Beidou, redirect your forces to the Southeast."

"Understood."

"It seems that Feng Yun's Southeast Headquarters will have to shoulder a significant responsibility this time..." Yan Nan frowned, deep in thought, "Should we let Feng Yun handle this? Or do we need to replace him?"

"Let's inform Feng Yun of the real situation. After all, we can't have us, his brothers, sitting here while he handles everything below. We also need a team of people down there."

"Then let Feng Yun take charge for now. If something goes wrong, we can replace him immediately."

"Sun Wutian has mostly recovered. Let him go to the Southeast to oversee things secretly."

Duan Xi Yang spoke up from the side, "Sun Wutian just issued a challenge to me a few days ago. We haven't fought yet."

"He's not your match now, so what's the point of fighting?"

Yan Nan replied with dissatisfaction, "Let him go out and gain some experience, then we'll talk."

"..."

Duan Xi Yang was a little unhappy.

But he had no choice but to accept.

"The Night Demon has received this news, which solves a major problem for us, although he himself doesn't realize the importance. But the reward can't be lacking."

Yan Nan pondered, "Yin Shen Gong, the leader of the Yi Wo Zheng Jiao, will be treated as the leader of a super-ranked sect, with double the rewards. Bestow upon him two bottles of the Five-Colored Dan Yun Shen Dan, and grant him access to the Three Realms. Additionally, provide an opportunity for the leader to participate in the Divine Toad Cultivation Plan."

"Agreed!"

Everyone agreed without objection.

Given the importance of this news, the rewards were still somewhat lacking.

But the Night Demon's current level was too low, and they couldn't expose him. So, giving these basic rewards was sufficient.

At Yan Nan's command, the mood among the old demons soared.

Their battle intent surged to an unprecedented high.

"How long has it been since we faced such an opponent?" Chen Gu looked around with a haughty air, his battle intent palpable.

"It's been a long time. I'm quite interested in this Shadow Weasel Sect."

Yu Hanyan smiled faintly, a sharp glint in her eyes.

"Indeed, these years, that Eastern San San has made me feel like I've forgotten how to fight." Xiang Bei Tuo also shook off his despondency.

As the direct target of Eastern San San's strategies, Xiang Bei Tuo had been driven to seclusion over the years.

He had even fought bare-chested on several occasions.

"There's no choice. When facing Eastern San San, he doesn't even give you a chance for a head-on battle. He just keeps you running around, and by the time you think the decisive battle is about to start, he's already sounded the retreat."

"That's right. Every punch is a full-power attack, but they all hit the air. Eastern San San, that kind of schemer, is not worthy of being our opponent!"

"I'm quite interested in this Shadow Weasel Sect."

Bai Jing was eager to try, saying, "If not, I'll go to the Southeast. I'll work with Old Duan and Sun Wutian to oversee the Southeast and, at the same time, test the capabilities of the Unique Righteous Sect's First Young Master."

Bi Chang Hong chuckled, "Old Eight, how can you say that? Just for a small Southeast and a Shadow Weasel Sect, you want to deploy the Unique Righteous Sect's top two Super Ranked Guardians, plus you, a Deputy Supreme Sect Master?"

He humphed, "What's more, Sun Wutian is there to take care of things, and even his presence there is more like a form of support. With other objectives in mind, do you really think Sun Wutian's goal is solely the Shadow Weasel Sect?"

"Moreover, there's also the Heavenly King Xiao over there! Are you planning to deploy the entire Unique Righteous Sect to fight the Shadow Weasel Sect? Is this Shadow Weasel Sect... worthy of that?"

"What are you thinking with that head of yours!"

Bi Chang Hong was extremely dissatisfied with Bai Jing, and his words were full of derision.

Bai Jing rolled his eyes, "Sixth Brother, your way of putting others down is truly ugly."

Yan Nan laughed, "But what Sixth Brother said isn't wrong. Just stay out of it. Duan Xi Yang going to the Southeast to capture someone from the Shadow Weasel Sect is an easy task for him. Moreover, he needs to return immediately as there are other matters to attend to."

"Even Sun Wutian, who is actually there, has homesickness in his heart and attachments to deal with. So, he also needs to return to relax, after all... he was almost turned into charcoal after being dug out from underground, which is quite tragic..."

"In reality, the ones fighting the Shadow Weasel Sect are still the people under Feng Yun's command, or you could say the remaining members of Third Brother's team."

"There's no need to make a big deal out of it."

Yan Nan spoke calmly, "But you should also prepare yourselves, as this Shadow Weasel Sect might require one or even several of you to take action. This is a possibility."

"Understood, Fifth Brother!"

"Go."

After the meeting, Yan Nan kept Duan Xi Yang back, "Do not engage in prolonged battles! Capture the person, regardless of their condition, and return immediately. But create the illusion that you're still there."

He said solemnly, "I have a premonition... this large-scale mobilization will prompt the Faceless Tower to take action against us! This time, your return will catch them off guard."

"It's our chance."

Duan Xi Yang nodded, "I understand. You're just worried that I might kill Sun Wutian over there, right? Don't worry."

Yan Nan sighed wearily, "When did you start trying to guess my intentions? I truly don't have that intention. Even if Sun Wutian fully recovers, he's no match for you, let alone now."

A hint of pride appeared on Duan Xi Yang's gaunt face, "As long as you know that."

Yan Nan waved his hand in exasperation.

He felt weary, dealing with Eastern San San outside and these old demons, each with their own schemes...

Like Duan Xi Yang, who had become a bit arrogant... How could this be allowed!

Yan Nan confirmed that Duan Xi Yang had soared into the sky and left the Unique Righteous Sect's headquarters.

Yan Nan sent someone to invite Sun Wutian.

Looking at Sun Wutian, who stumbled in like a zombie, Yan Nan used his Divine Perception to carefully scan him: If he killed Sun Wutian on the spot, stripped him of his flesh, removed his bones, and took out his organs and blood, he estimated that he could get about three pounds of meat.

However, he couldn't treat Sun Wutian as casually as he did Duan Xi Yang.

"Didn't you give him the Body Transformation Pill?" Yan Nan asked.

"I already took it," Sun Wutian replied, standing loosely.

He gave off the impression that he could fall apart at any moment, turning into a pile of pale bones.

Even without moving, his body seemed ready to abandon him.

"Why do you still look like a zombie after taking the pill?" Yan Nan frowned.

"I'm used to this appearance, and I don't want to change it. So, I chose to keep this form, the same as thousands of years ago. It hasn't changed, and that's good," Sun Wutian explained.

Yan Nan felt a bit exasperated: "At least change your appearance a bit after being dug out..."

"I've already gained a breath of life," Sun Wutian said contentedly. "When that crazy man, Kuang Ren Ji, carried me back, he lost one of my leg bones."

"What state were you in back then... Even glue couldn't hold you together, and you blame others for losing your bones?" Yan Nan said impatiently. "Alright, let's get to the main point!"

"It's just asking me to visit the southeast and meet some relatives, right? After so many generations, what can I do when I go back? I can only take a distant look," Sun Wutian said with a sense of boredom.

"Can I even go and kowtow at my ancestors' graves? There's no one buried there who's older than me..." Sun Wutian rolled his eyes.

"Are you really asking me to go to the southeast and take charge? Even if the Shadow Weasel Sect is qualified, they would need to find me first, right?"

"It's not just that. There's another matter that I need to congratulate you on," Yan Nan said.

"But what I'm about to say is top-secret. I'm only telling you because it's related to you, and I'm worried that after you go there, you might kill someone I shouldn't have," Yan Nan explained.

Sun Wutian was curious: "What is it? Congratulate me? What good news could I possibly have?"

"Among the guardians in the southeast, there's a young man who possesses your Heaven-Hating Saber. He has cultivated it well and can even change and hide it. If I weren't so familiar with it, I wouldn't have recognized it," Yan Nan said.

Sun Wutian raised an eyebrow, his eyes serious as he looked at Yan Nan: "It can change? It can hide? Others can't see it? What about our old rivals?"

"Unless they're as familiar with it as you are, they won't recognize it!" Yan Nan was very certain on this point.

Yan Nan could be sure of this because if Duan Xi Yang had recognized it, he wouldn't have held such high hopes for Fang Che's spear.

Sun Wutian immediately became interested. If Duan Xi Yang couldn't recognize it, the chances of others recognizing it were extremely slim.

"One of our people can use the Heaven-Hating Saber?" Sun Wutian's eyes deepened.

"Is he a Sun?" Sun Wutian asked.

Yan Nan slowly raised his head, his deep gaze meeting Sun Wutian's: "Did you really leave a heritage in your family?"

Sun Wutian replied indifferently: "I left behind my own saber techniques."

"The Heaven-Hating Saber... is a sect saber!" Yan Nan smiled faintly. "Although the heritage chooses its successor, and bone quality is paramount, it is still the martial art of a sect."

"The Heaven-Hating Saber requires the acknowledgment of the saber manual and secrets. I didn't pass it on, and I couldn't even if I wanted to. I don't have that ability," Sun Wutian said coldly.

"I only passed on what I personally comprehended. Vice Sect Master Yan, are you settling old scores or accusing me of a crime?" Sun Wutian asked.

Yan Nan smiled faintly: "Accusing you is, of course, necessary. But I'm also congratulating you, and it's true. There's also a request, which is also true."

He said word by word: "But no matter what it is, you privately passing on your cultivation to your family requires an explanation!"

Sun Wutian had been asleep for too long and had been away for too long.

Since he woke up, the entire sect had treated him like a treasure, and Yan Nan had already sensed this. This trend was not right.

Therefore, using a piece of good news to reprimand him, and using a trivial matter to remind him, was necessary.

You need to know what rules are and who the boss is.

This was very important! Because it involved countless future arrangements, what if another Duan Xi Yang appeared, who no one except the big brother could control? Duan Xi Yang was a direct descendant of the sect's founding members, but Sun Wutian was not.

The two men locked eyes.

Sun Wutian was filled with dissatisfaction and anger, while Yan Nan smiled, but his gaze was oppressive.

The two men faced off in silence.

After a long time, seeing that Sun Wutian's gaze was still filled with anger and defiance, Yan Nan's smile slowly turned cold: "The sect's divine cultivation is possessed by all nine of us. Look at our family; in all these years, has anyone been privately taught by us? Even if there was, it was reported to the altar. Why should you be an exception?"

This was a heavy blow! Sun Wutian sighed: "I was wrong in this matter."

"You were wrong?" Yan Nan frowned.

"I was wrong!" Sun Wutian's arrogance was subdued.
