Chapter 562: Unexpected [Two in One]

Chapter 562: Unexpected [Two in One]

The four experts clashed their swords with the Night Demon, and in that instant, they were jolted as if struck by lightning. They retreated with a thunderous roar, "Night Demon!"

They weren't fools; upon hearing the two words 'Master,' they instantly understood the identity of the newcomer.

Under the surging killing intent, the sword lights flickered at their throats. In the moment they tried to block, the black-clad figure had already grabbed Master Yinshen Palace and fled like lightning.

Xiong Rujun was still reeling from the intense collision with Master Yinshen Palace, and the powerful force prevented him from turning his retreat into an advance.

He could only watch helplessly as the scene unfolded, feeling like his heart, liver, and lungs were about to explode with rage.

The cooked duck had flown away! Xiong Rujun took a deep breath, his body visibly swelling, and he forcefully halted his retreat. Spitting out a mouthful of blood, he roared, "Chase them!"

His robust figure charged forward recklessly.

With a 'pfft' sound, his foot left a dent in the hard ground.

The eight others followed suit.

They pursued recklessly, disregarding their lives.

"Is it really the Night Demon?" Xiong Rujun asked gravely.

"Yes, Master. His sword technique is the Blood Spirit Seven Swords, and he's called Master Yinshen Palace. It can't be anyone else but the Night Demon!"

"Could the Night Demon have such high cultivation? To repel all four of you with a single strike? Even if it was unexpected, it shouldn't be possible!"

The four remained silent, for it was... humiliating.

Xiong Rujun understood his subordinates' silence.

As they chased, their hearts grew heavier.

They continuously howled and launched rockets.

Xiong Rujun knew that this was no longer a matter that the nine of them could handle.

"The Night Demon has appeared!"

Xiong Rujun's roar echoed like rolling thunder through the mountains.

Everyone who heard it felt a tremor in their hearts.

For the Southeast Guardian, while Master Yinshen Palace, the Supreme Leader of the One Heart Sect, was undoubtedly important, the danger posed by the Night Demon surpassed that of Master Yinshen Palace!

Although the Night Demon was merely a disciple of Master Yinshen Palace, even with Master Yinshen Palace's efforts to remain hidden, he was still an obvious target.

Master Yinshen Palace was Master Yinshen Palace.

But what about the Night Demon? To this day, no one knew the Night Demon's true identity. As long as he remained concealed, he could continue to hide! The extent of the damage he could cause was unimaginable.

How far could the Night Demon rise in the future? No one dared to imagine, especially since the Night Demon had only debuted a few years ago.

Therefore, the danger posed by the Night Demon far exceeded that of Master Yinshen Palace.

Xiong Rujun continued the pursuit, his eyes sharp like an eagle's.

Ahead, the figures of Master Yinshen Palace and the Night Demon had completely vanished.

"How could the Night Demon's cultivation be so high? It shouldn't be possible," Xiong Rujun said, still puzzled about the Night Demon's cultivation level despite confirming his identity.

"Could he be eating heavenly treasures every day?"

"Leader, there's no mistake. Not long ago, the Young Master of the Celestial Palace, a Lord Rank cultivator, was killed by the Night Demon. That incident happened over half a year ago!" explained a Battle Arena expert.

"Even so, the Night Demon's progress is too fast!" Xiong Rujun's sense of crisis deepened.

His apprehension towards the Night Demon also intensified.

"At this rate, won't the Night Demon surpass Master Yinshen Palace soon?"

"From that strike just now, we felt... the current Night Demon's strength is not far behind Master Yinshen Palace's..."

A Battle Arena expert sighed, "Especially that aura and killing intent on the Night Demon. I was even intimidated for a moment... It's something that even Master Yinshen Palace doesn't possess! How many people must he have killed to cultivate such power? It's unimaginable!"

"Spread the news far and wide."

Xiong Rujun's face was grave. "Today, no matter what, we must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to eliminate the Night Demon and Master Yinshen Palace. Otherwise, if the Night Demon continues to grow, the consequences will be dire!"

"Yes."

As they tracked the two, everyone took out their communication jade tokens and spread the news widely.

...

Fang Che flew swiftly, his body recovering rapidly from the spirit pill.

The pill was also restoring Master Yinshen Palace's cultivation.

The Divine Five-Colored Cloud Pill Below the Sage indeed lived up to its reputation.

Master Yinshen Palace quickly regained some of his cultivation and grabbed Fang Che's waistband. With a tug, they flew together.

"Why are you here!"

Master Yinshen Palace's voice was filled with heartache and anger. "This is a dead end! What are you doing here?"

Blood trickled from Fang Che's mouth as he laughed softly while flying, "It doesn't matter. I'll use this life to repay Master, and the Night Demon has no regrets. Besides, I've made arrangements here, so we might not die!"

Master Yinshen Palace cursed, "You ungrateful brat! You're trying to kill me with worry..."

But amidst the cursing, there was a hint of tenderness.

He couldn't help but whisper, "You foolish child... Sigh..."

As he felt the spirit pill's power dissipate within him and his cultivation fully restored, Master Yinshen Palace let out a bitter laugh.

The spirit pill that Deputy Sect Master Yan had given him was indeed different from the one she had given the Night Demon.

However, he felt no jealousy at all and was instead overjoyed.

With a firm grip, he held Fang Che in his hand and accelerated, "Master will take you away!"

Spitting out another mouthful of blood, he desperately unleashed the Burning Blood Technique.

Like a wisp of blue smoke, Fang Che rushed through the mountains, panting heavily. He focused on recovering his strength while giving instructions, "A thousand zhang ahead, turn left. Three thousand zhang straight ahead, turn right. Then, gather all the scents and bloodstains on your body... Rush up the mountain, create a commotion to divert attention to the other side... Your two masters are waiting there..."

"Alright!"

Master Yinshen Palace, having narrowly escaped death, felt his thoughts clearer than ever before.

As he held onto Fang Che and flew, he used his cultivation to remove the bloodstains from both of them. He even transformed spiritual energy into water, continuously washing away the blood on their faces and heads.

"Master, I've recovered."

"Don't move!"

Master Yinshen Palace spoke with a deep voice, "Let your master lead you, and we'll continue for a while."

His tone was filled with emotion.

From Fang Che's performance just now, it was evident that his cultivation was still far inferior to Master Yinshen Palace's.

However, his combat power was almost on par with his master's.

Moreover, the power of the advanced Blood Spirit Seven Swords left Master Yinshen Palace in awe.

"Within half a year, you'll surpass your master."

Master Yinshen Palace spoke with pride.

If he had said this before today, even with his deep affection for his disciple, he might have felt a twinge of jealousy. He might have even been a bit apprehensive.

But today, in the face of certain death, when Night Demon suddenly appeared to fight desperately, Master Yinshen Palace's mindset underwent a tremendous change! He could only feel joy and relief at Fang Che's progress.

"My disciple is becoming more and more talented! It's better if he surpasses me now!"

Along the way, they encountered two ambushes, but for Master Yinshen Palace, who had fully recovered his cultivation, they were no challenge at all.

However, following Fang Che's reminder, he refrained from killing.

"Master, don't kill. Try not to let the sword get stained with blood. The spread of bloodlust is unfavorable for our plan."

"This is very important!"

Master Yinshen Palace listened to his disciple.

The master and disciple, like two wisps of blue smoke, rushed to the base of Hundred Poison Peaks.

At the pre-arranged location, they met up with Mu Linyuan, Qian Sanjiang, and two others.

"From now on, follow my instructions. Don't expose any scent, don't take any action, don't reveal any aura, and don't leave any traces..."

Fang Che quickly repeated the instructions and then led the way.

They moved like snakes along the path.

They arrived at the pond again.

Spiritual energy parted the water.

Fang Che jumped into the water without a sound.

"Follow me."

The three of them jumped in simultaneously.

Not a sound was made.

The water surface immediately returned to normal.

They descended to the bottom, about ten zhang deep, where Fang Che carefully moved a large stone covered in aquatic moss, revealing a cave entrance. They entered, followed by the others.

To their surprise, it was a cave. After descending a short distance, the path turned upward, narrow but extremely secretive.

As they slowly ascended, they emerged from the water, and the area became dry.

After walking for some time, they entered a spacious cave.

Astonishingly, there were even beds!

All three of them were shocked, "What's going on here?"

Fang Che explained, "A few years ago, while hunting, I accidentally discovered this place. I was a bit hungry when I got here, saw the pond, and originally wanted to catch a few fish. But I couldn't catch any, so I jumped in to try and catch them. That's when I accidentally discovered this place. Only after entering did I realize it was the cave of the Hundred Toxins Demon Lord."

Fang Che smiled, "Consider it an unexpected gain. The concealment here is beyond anyone's imagination."

He sighed, "The last time Sun Yuan Master was killed, Ye Meng and I were also pursued. We hid here."

All three fell silent.

"The outside has been taken care of; it looks like just a mountain now."

Fang Che said, "As long as we're not discovered underwater, this place is safe. We're inside the mountain."

"Master should have brought food, drinks, and other necessities... Let's hide here for now. To prevent experts from searching the mountain with their divine senses, we must be careful not to make any noise inside, including breathing... We must be cautious."

"It's indeed a great place."

Master Yinshen Palace examined the cave and was amazed.

Having arrived here, they were certain of their safety.

In such a place, even a divine being wouldn't be able to find them unless by sheer luck. If they were discovered and captured while hiding here... It would be as if the heavens didn't want them to live.

Master Yinshen Palace couldn't help but laugh, "I really thought I'd be doomed this time..."

Mu Linyuan laughed, "We wanted to fight our way through, but Night Demon was adamant against it... He told us to wait here... Who would've thought this kid would indeed have a trick up his sleeve."

Master Yinshen Palace nodded, humphed, and then slapped Fang Che on the head, lowering his voice in anger, "You little bastard, do you want to scare me to death? In a situation like this, you dare to get involved?!"

"When my master is in trouble, how can I, as a disciple, stand by idly?"

Fang Che said, "I had to come, no matter what."

"Sigh..."

Master Yinshen Palace sighed deeply, then said to Fang Che, "It's common for a master to die, but you coming here might result in us all being caught in one net... Too impulsive! Just now at the teahouse, I taught you about being overly sentimental. You... Sigh..."

He sighed deeply as he spoke.

Placing his palm on Fang Che's head, Yinshen Palace spoke softly, "From now on, this is not allowed. If this happens again, I'd rather die than let you come in! Do you understand?"

"I understand," Fang Che replied.

"But in this situation..." Fang Che's neck stiffened, "Unless I don't know about it, otherwise... I'd have to come no matter what."

"I can ignore others, but if I don't even care about my three masters, am I still a person?"

Yinshen Palace closed his eyes and sighed softly, "Silly child! Silly child..."

Mu Linyuan, standing nearby, was also deeply moved. He said, "Master, don't worry about him. Night Demon needs to hurry out, restore his identity, and join the encirclement... to clear his suspicions. If Fang Che is missing outside for too long... it won't be a good thing."

"Yes, yes, you should go quickly."

Yinshen Palace urged.

"Master, is there anything else you need? I..."

"You don't need to worry about it!" Yinshen Palace snapped, "Go quickly. We are all old hands in this business. With such a place, we naturally know when to leave. From now on, you are not allowed to worry about us anymore. Hurry up and leave!"

With Yinshen Palace's pushing and shoving, Fang Che had no choice but to bow and say, "Then I'll take my leave first, Master."

"Get out of here!"

Fang Che gave a bitter laugh and bid farewell to Mu Linyuan. As he was about to leave, he stopped and turned back, "Take care, Master. Your... your hair has turned white."

Yinshen Palace glared, "At a time like this, you're still concerned about my hair? Get out of here!"

But inside, he felt a surge of warmth.

"Disciple takes his leave."

Fang Che retraced his steps, dealt with the underwater rocks, and returned to his original position. Even if someone dove down, they would only see a crack less than half a foot wide.

Then, without a sound, he emerged from the water, drying himself off. He left without a trace.

Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, he had finally managed to protect this old demon.

This matter... was truly nerve-wracking!

...

In the cave.

The three from Yinshen Palace sat quietly.

For a long time, no one spoke.

They all gazed at the cave entrance that Fang Che had left through, leading to the underground, their hearts filled with emotion.

"Master, Night Demon is truly taking a huge risk this time," Mu Linyuan said softly with a sigh.

"This child..."

Qian Sanjiang also sighed softly, saying sincerely, "I'm so envious, Master, to have such a disciple! I truly envy you from the bottom of my heart!"

Yinshen Palace fell silent for a moment and sighed softly, "As a master, I feel ashamed. Now, I keep causing trouble for my disciple."

"How unbearable."

He shifted his feet and lay down on the bed, speaking softly, "Now, let's stay here. At the very least, we'll stay for more than half a month... We can't resist the Southeast Tide."

"Let's focus on cultivation and not sleep. When we sleep, we might snore, and if that's monitored, all our efforts will be in vain."

"Yes."

"Take turns, and if you're really exhausted, just close your eyes and sleep with something in your mouth. If you start snoring, give each other a nudge to wake up."

"Master, rest assured. With our cultivation, we can rest well just by meditating. Sleep is no longer necessary."

"Not necessarily."

Yinshen Palace sighed and said, "At the very least, I really want to sleep right now."

He lost himself in thought for a moment and spoke softly, "Mental exhaustion!"

"It truly feels like mental exhaustion..."

Yinshen Palace's sigh came from deep within, filled with heartache.

Mu Linyuan and Qian Sanjiang remained silent.

Regarding Yinshen Palace's recent experience, the two of them couldn't find the words to comfort him.

They could only remain silent.

The cave fell into a profound silence.

...

After leaving, Fang Che restored his appearance and attire, blending into the mountain forest under the cover of night.

In the distant mountains, all was quiet.

Everyone was an old hand, quietly searching, knowing that they must not make a sound if they didn't find any trace of the enemy.

Firstly, to avoid alerting the snake by beating the grass, and secondly, to guard against being ambushed by the enemy.

Fang Che had infiltrated over a hundred li and was lying in ambush in a valley.

He was waiting for someone to come by, creating a chance encounter, and then seamlessly joining the main force.

At the border.

Sun Wutian arrived like a sudden demonic cloud, stirring up a tempest.

The blood-drenched Heaven-Hating Saber served as a sign.

Bu Chou felt Sun Wutian's formidable presence from afar, and his heart sank.

He immediately took out the communication jade, "Brother Nine, we need reinforcements in the Southeast! Sun Wutian is here, and I'm about to engage in battle!"

Dongfang Sansan was shocked, "What's happening?"

"We're surrounding Yinshen Palace, but Sun Wutian has arrived. He must be here to rescue Yinshen Palace... Damn it, for a mere Yinshen Palace, they actually sent Sun Wutian."

Upon hearing these words, Dongfang Sansan was stunned.

Had it only been a few hours since he shifted his attention away from Yinshen Palace?

And now, such a major event had occurred?

What's going on?

Instantly, Dongfang Sansan recalled Fang Che’s father returning home and Fang Che’s return. He immediately understood.

"Truly... speechless human nature!"

Dongfang Sansan was genuinely speechless: "This must be Master Yinshen Palace going over to congratulate his disciple, and also to see the spectacle, but he encountered An Ruoxing..."

"If he had met anyone else, Master Yinshen Palace would never have exposed himself... Only An Ruoxing can touch his heart!"

"This whole situation."

He instantly understood and immediately realized the severity of the matter. Master Yinshen Palace must not die, but Bu Chou must not die either! If Sun Wutian enters the battlefield, most of the Southeast Guardians will die!

This is a serious matter.

Dongfang Sansan immediately picked up his communication jade: "Where are you?"

Rui Qianshan replied: "I'm in the southern ice plain."

"How far from Southeast White Cloud Continent's Biyue City?"

"About fifteen thousand miles?" Rui Qianshan was a bit puzzled: "I don't have the kind of silver wolf you're looking for here. Right now, I'm chasing a mother wolf, and I've been chasing her for twenty days. She's about to give birth... I'll check if she gives birth to a silver wolf..."

"Go to Southeast immediately. Bu Chou and Sun Wutian are fighting. Hurry up and help."

"Damn!"

Rui Qianshan's entire spirit was lifted. Fighting was much more enjoyable than waiting in the icy wilderness for a mother wolf to give birth: "I'm on my way. Tell Bu Chou to hold on!"

"Hurry."

Dongfang Sansan sighed.

Hold on?

Bu Chou, facing Sun Wutian, is fighting for his life?

The strength gap is too large; he definitely can't hold on. He definitely can't hold on until Rui Qianshan arrives.

"I must find someone else to help Bu Chou first."

Dongfang Sansan immediately continued sending messages: "Dong Changfeng, where are you?"

"White Cloud Continent."

"Go to the outskirts of Biyue City and help Bu Chou."

"Understood."

The order was issued.

Dongfang Sansan frowned: "Just Dong Changfeng isn't enough; he will also need Bu Chou's assistance to exchange a few moves with Sun Wutian, pushing him to his limits... He is definitely not a match for Sun Wutian."

He then sent a message to another person: "Where are you? In Southeast?"

"I'm in Southeast, on my way to Biyue City. Bu Chou just asked me for help."

"Good, how far are you from there?"

"Two thousand miles, I've already traveled seven hundred... nine hundred miles."

"Great! Move faster!"

"Understood."

Dongfang Sansan sighed in relief. This should be enough to hold on.

"Yang Luoyu, go to Southeast and find Bu Chou!"

"Understood!"

Putting down the communication jade, Dongfang Sansan's expression was uncertain. Now, he wasn't too worried about Southeast, but he started worrying about Fang Che and Master Yinshen Palace.

After thinking for a long time, although he really didn't want Master Yinshen Palace to die, he couldn't issue an order to let him escape.

"Can only rely on Master Yinshen Palace and Fang Che themselves."

Dongfang Sansan frowned and sighed.

His current reaction was the same as Fang Che's: the situation has slipped out of control, completely unexpected!

"I really didn't expect this. Even though I knew Fang Lao Liu would return to acknowledge his family, I never thought Master Yinshen Palace would actually go to celebrate... Does he really love his disciple that much?"

Dongfang Sansan couldn't help but scratch his ear.

"This whole situation..."

In fact, Dongfang Sansan didn't know that Master Yinshen Palace was also quite helpless.

If it weren't for the rewards and sword techniques that Yan Nan wanted to send to Fang Che as quickly as possible, Master Yinshen Palace might not have gone to celebrate.

It was a spur-of-the-moment decision. But this spur-of-the-moment decision scared the two major figures of the Only Righteous Sect and the Guardians into a cold sweat!

Yan Nan was already furious.

Dongfang Sansan was also extremely rare in being at a loss for what to do.

He could only let things take their course.

Dongfang Sansan sighed a few times and sent a message to Zhao Shanhe: "Report any situation immediately! If you find Master Yinshen Palace, try to capture him alive!"

This was the only thing he could do for Fang Che.

"Understood! Sir, rest assured, this time Master Yinshen Palace will have no chance of escape!"

Zhao Shanhe replied excitedly.

Dongfang Sansan glanced at the message and broke off the communication, feeling depressed.

What I want is not for him to have no chance of escape, but for him to escape safely... But how could he say that to Zhao Shanhe?

Talking to Zhao Shanhe for a moment left him even more depressed.

Dongfang Sansan frowned and finally held the communication jade to ask Xue Fuxiao: "How's it going on your end?"

Let's hear some good news to ease the mood.

A few days ago, he said he found a silver wolf that was about to give birth.

"Just wait two more days, and you can take it. It was born yesterday."

Xue Fuxiao was very excited: "I found the silver wolf, and it was born yesterday. This pair of beasts is too fierce; the entire clan fought with me for seven days."

"Don't kill them all." Dongfang Sansan hurriedly reminded.

"Understood, I didn't kill them. Otherwise, I wouldn't have spent so long. They are future combat power. How could I bear to kill them?"
