Chapter 565: Drinking the Joyous Wine Together [Part 2]
Chapter 565: Drinking the Joyous Wine Together [Part 2]
It must be said that Dongfang Sansan's Mind Penetrating Strike was extremely brilliant.
The greatest pity was that the one executing this strategy was none other than the Snow Condensing Sword, and not Dongfang Sansan himself!
If Dongfang Sansan had personally questioned and cursed at Sun Wutian like this, Sun Wutian's Heaven Hatred Blade Foundation would have been completely obliterated!
Although the Snow Condensing Sword also possessed a chest filled with righteous energy, it was impossible for him to achieve the same divine aura as Dongfang Sansan.
Because... his personality restricted him—he was despicable!
His despicable nature interfered with his righteous energy.
No matter how much righteous energy he possessed, his essence was still that of a despicable person.
Of course, Dongfang Sansan himself also truly did not have the opportunity to confront Sun Wutian like this... Moreover, in Dongfang Sansan's heart, Sun Wutian's strength could not be completely diminished—he still had to protect Fang Che.
Being able to ensure that Sun Wutian would never be able to return to his peak was already satisfying enough for Dongfang Sansan.
As for the Snow Condensing Sword's Aerial Lecture, he was already feeling extremely proud.
Just relying on words, when have I ever had such a glorious moment?
This has always been the exclusive privilege of the Ninth Brother.
I never imagined that today, I could be so awesome!
Below, Zhao Shanhe and the others suddenly realized the truth, understanding that Sun Wutian's family matters were so complicated, and what he said were all lies.
Everyone felt relieved: So that's how it was, I understand now! It was inevitable to mention Sun Wutian's previous speech, which had a tremendous impact. Many of the guardians below felt a sense of sorrow, as they were all reasonable people. The Sun family had been kind for generations, but it was as if they were being devoured by their own kindness, betrayed by those they helped, and no one was there to collect their remains... Who wouldn't feel resentful in such a situation?
Good deeds go unrewarded, who would dare to be a good person?
Sun Wutian's extreme personality, which led him down the path of a demon, seemed pitiful, lamentable, and understandable.
But upon hearing the Snow Condensing Sword's clarification, everyone suddenly realized they had been deceived. Awakening from the deception was one thing, but letting go of the heaviness in their hearts was an even bigger matter.
In the air, the Snow Condensing Sword laughed loudly, beginning to wrap things up, saying, "Did you all hear that? Spread the news of Sun Wutian's affairs far and wide, so that no one else will be deceived by him in the future."
"In the future, when we encounter demons, just draw our swords and strike. Why bother with words?"
"Don't believe a single word from demons. How can we live with ourselves and our professions if we are deceived by them?"
These words caused many people below to blush with embarrassment.
Because they had almost believed it just now...
Glancing at the communication jade, he finished wrapping things up.
The Snow Condensing Sword then began to improvise, saying, "Don't be like some simpletons, actually trying to reason with demons. You almost got deceived. It serves you right, serves you right. Brother Yu truly didn't disgrace himself, so foolish, so stupid."
Yu Haoran stood in mid-air, being publicly humiliated, and his face turned purple in an instant.
Damn it... I'm also a legendary figure, can't you give me some face?
Although you're my senior, although you're my big brother, but right now, I really want to give you a good slash, you know?
"Brother Rui!"
The Azure Dragon Saber, Yu Haoran, pleaded in a low voice, "Let's go down."
"I haven't had enough yet..."
"But I'm already satisfied."
Yu Haoran rolled his eyes.
So your satisfaction comes from repeatedly trampling on me, huh?
"Alright, you three, follow me. The Ninth Brother asked me to give you special training!"
The Snow Condensing Sword hummed with a hint of arrogance.
He could be an instructor again.
Especially these three guys, with their tough and rough living, were perfect for rigorous training.
Just then, a white figure flashed by like lightning.
It was none other than Yan Jun Di, Yang Luoyu.
With his weaker cultivation and the long distance he had to travel, he rushed over, only to arrive now that the battle had ended. It was as if he had come specifically for the special training...
"Is it over?"
Yang Luoyu was a bit dazed, "Sword Master, Rain Master, Brother Bu Chou... Dong Changfeng... This..."
Yu Haoran's face showed a hint of 'the number of people being tormented is increasing, and it's not just me.' He grabbed Yang Luoyu and said, "Let's go, let's go get specially trained by Rain Master!"
So the most miserable one had arrived.
Instantly, Yu Haoran felt like he had become the class monitor.
He became a bit excited.
Bu Chou hummed and rolled his eyes at Dong Changfeng and Yang Luoyu, feeling a bit relieved.
With these two here, the one being scolded wouldn't be me.
Dong Changfeng merely looked at Yang Luoyu and patted his shoulder affectionately, smiling, "You don't know how much I've been longing for you to come..."
Yang Luoyu scratched his head, "How... come?"
"You'll find out soon. Let's go, let's go."
"Zhao Shanhe! You take care of things down there!"
The five of them rose into the air and disappeared.
But everyone knew that they wouldn't be too far away.
They would still be paying attention to this place at all times!
Everyone's hearts were filled with both a sense of security and excitement!
Witnessing such an earth-shattering battle between two powerful figures.
This battle had a different impact on everyone. For those with higher cultivation, many felt like they had gained enlightenment, and the vague thoughts they couldn't figure out suddenly became clear. For those with lower cultivation, their determination to improve became even stronger.
Everyone was dreaming, wishing that one day they too could fight in the skies like that...
How glorious that would be.
Below.
Yu Zhongge was surrounded by his brothers.
"That's your Yu family's ancient ancestor? So awesome!"
Although Yu Haoran was later suppressed, his breathtaking Azure Dragon Saber Technique still left a strong impression on everyone.
And everyone understood that if Yu Haoran hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
A single Azure Dragon Saber, blocking a demon who had been on par with Duan Xiyang ten thousand years ago, was enough for Yu Haoran to be proud of!
Yu Zhongge smiled, his expression filled with respect. He clasped his hands and bowed towards the sky, sincerely saying, "This is our third ancestor, the initial and second ancestors of our Yu family, who have already become Immortal Transformation Mountain."
Mentioning 'Immortal Transformation Mountain,' the others suddenly showed profound respect.
The seven of them simultaneously clasped their hands and bowed towards the sky to show their respect.
Being children of super families, they naturally knew why the Wind, Rain, and Snow families held such a high status.
The fact that the three families' supreme geniuses transformed their flesh into the Extinction Array, and thirty-six world-class experts' souls and bodies became Immortal Transformation Mountain, reversing the tide of the war between the Guardians and the Only Righteous Sect—no one could ever forget this!
Every generation of every family passed this story down.
But this was the first time they heard that the Yu family's initial and second ancestors were the ones who had willingly stepped forward to make that sacrifice! Speaking of such world-class heroes, even someone like Dong Yunyu, a complete scoundrel—dared not speak a word of disrespect.
He tightly shut his mouth, fearing that he might offend the spirits of the ancestors by speaking out of turn.
As children of great families, they never joked about the names of their ancestors, especially those who had sacrificed for the continent. Whenever mentioned, they always showed respect and used honorifics, and bowed to the sky to show that they would never forget the kindness of their forebears.
As for the common people who might doubt, "I don't believe there could be someone so selfless, it must be artistic embellishment" — such skepticism never existed in these great families.
Yu Zhongge spoke with deep reverence, "The third ancestor has always been trying to perfect the Azure Dragon Transformation Saber, aiming to reach the top three of the Cloud Swordsmanship Chart... This time, I have no idea why he is here, I, as a descendant, don't have the right to know his whereabouts."
"The third ancestor is truly awe-inspiring; the moment that Azure Dragon flashed out, I really wanted to shout and cheer."
Xue Wanren said with longing, "So cool! So cool!"
At that moment, someone said, "Your family's Dream Within Dream Saber is also very cool, why don't you learn it?"
Everyone turned around to see a figure gracefully land.
It was Fang Che!
"Big Brother Fang!" The seven people immediately cheered, surrounding Fang Che in the center.
"Big Brother Fang, weren't you in Biyue City? How could you come here for such a big family event?"
"Didn't this happen in Biyue City? Didn't you know?" Fang Che smiled bitterly. "Do you think I could just sit still?"
"That's true."
The brothers laughed.
Given Big Brother Fang's deep hatred for evil, how could he not pursue the trail of the One Heart Sect's Supreme Leader? It would be abnormal for him not to pursue.
Then Xue Wanren sighed, "Dream Within Dream Saber... do you think it's that easy to practice? The key is severing emotions."
"How do you sever them?" Everyone was curious.
"Truly, I have no idea; my level hasn't reached that point."
Xue Wanren smiled bitterly, "Do you think I could know?"
Everyone shook their heads in unison, "You can't possibly know!"
Xue Wanren asked the question, only to be angered by his brothers' reactions.
"Damn... you guys!"
Then he hung his head in disappointment, "Yes, I can't possibly know."
"But I do know part of the secret to the Dream Within Dream Saber."
Fang Che showed a confident look.
"You know part of the secret?"
Xue Wanren immediately became excited, grabbing Fang Che's hand, his eyes shining, "Big Brother, Big Brother Fang... you... you... how do you know? Can you tell us?"
"There's no reason not to."
Fang Che said generously, "Listen up."
Instantly, seven pairs of ears perked up.
Fang Che spoke deeply, "Dream Within Dream Saber, severing emotions and ties, not living freely; these two lines are part of the secret of the Dream Within Dream Saber."
"Damn..."
Dong Yunyu immediately rolled his eyes, "Everyone knows this; do you need to explain it?"
"Although I haven't practiced it, I know these seven words, 'Dream Within Dream Saber,' must have deep meaning, and 'severing emotions and ties, not living freely' also has significance."
Mo Ganyun also shook his big head and rolled his eyes, "Big Brother Fang, when it comes to showing off, you're an expert."
Fang Che narrowed his eyes, "Are you not convinced? Do you want to take off the red cloth again?"
"No no!"
Mo Ganyun instantly turned into a lapdog, showing a fawning expression, "My admiration for Big Brother is like a surging river..."
"Hmph!"
Xue Wanren beside him also deflated like a punctured balloon, "I thought you really knew..."
Fang Che patted Xue Wanren's shoulder, "Wanren, not to say it, but we outsiders can be ignorant, but as a member of the Xue family, haven't you ever thought about it?"
"What is the Dream Within Dream Saber? What is Severing Emotions and Cutting Ties? We don't know what's going on here, but you should, right? Or perhaps, in the heritage of the Xue family, there's no way you wouldn't have knowledge of such things, right?"
"Do you really want to wait until you reach Saint Rank before you start to comprehend? Why not put in some effort into understanding the Dream Within Dream Saber and Severing Emotions and Cutting Ties now? Could it possibly harm your Xue family in any way? You're a direct descendant of the family, surely you must know something about it."
Fang Che patted Xue Wanren on the shoulder and said, "Think it through carefully yourself."
Xue Wanren's expression became pensive.
After a long while, he said, "I've always been thinking about these four words, Severing Emotions and Cutting Ties, and it makes my heart tremble with fear."
"Has Xue Da Ren severed emotions and cut ties with his family, including Jian Da Ren and the others?" Fang Che asked leisurely.
His words struck Xue Wanren like a bolt of lightning, leaving him stunned.
"You two are the same," Fang Che said, looking at Feng Xiangdong and Yu Zhongge. "You just follow the family's planned path, moving forward step by step, without ever considering starting to lay a foundation for yourselves from now on. What is the ultimate secret of the family? Which one truly attracts you? Why not start laying a foundation and preparing?"
Feng Xiangdong and Yu Zhongge both furrowed their brows in deep thought.
"You're the same too. You're already Tier 3 and Tier 4 families, and you must have some secret techniques hidden away. Haven't you ever thought of taking them out and preparing in advance? Instead, you're just wasting time, polishing what you already have day by day."
"Grow up, all of you," Fang Che said. "I don't have anywhere to go to look for it, otherwise, I would've gone long ago. The squeaky wheel gets the grease... Go cry to the family!"
"Just say that I got beaten up here and disgraced the family!"
The brothers were enlightened.
"Big Brother is right!"
Fang Che patted his butt and stood up. "Let's go, let's catch Yinshen Palace!"
Yu Zhongge smiled bitterly, "Ever since we got here, we haven't seen Yinshen Palace..."
"Search for it."
"Could Yinshen Palace be waiting right by your side for you to catch?" Fang Che said. "Besides, this One Heart Sect's Supreme Leader a formidable opponent. Let's go."
"Okay."
Ever since Fang Che's arrival, Feng Xiangdong finally felt a burden lifted from his shoulders.
Previously, he had been the one giving commands, taking each step with utmost caution. Now that Fang Che was here, he could finally put down this responsibility.
Next, the vast land was filled with guardians, all searching for Yinshen Palace.
Zhao Shanhe and An Ruoxing each took charge of one side, covering a thousand li of mountain forest in a carpet search.
This was a true carpet search.
Every inch of land was thoroughly searched.
But a strange thing happened: everyone could confirm that Yinshen Palace was within this area and hadn't escaped, yet it mysteriously disappeared.
They had practically dug three feet into the ground, but not a single living person was found.
The divine consciousness of the Southeast Command Center had already formed a vast net.
However, even with such a net, Yinshen Palace remained elusive.
"This bastard must have melted into the air!" An Ruoxing was furious.
"Keep searching!"
With this order, everyone had no choice but to continue the search.
Xiong Rujun was scolded by An Ruoxing until he wanted to crawl into a mouse hole, his face filled with shame.
"Go search, what are you standing there for?"
Everyone became even more meticulous in their search.
But despite their thoroughness, Yinshen Palace seemed to have vanished into thin air, and no matter what they did, they couldn't find it.
They combed through thousands of li of land, but to no avail.
Fang Che and the others were also searching diligently, even entering some abandoned caves.
But... of course, they couldn't find it.
As they were searching, they encountered the Divine Elder.
"Oh, you're all together?" The Divine Elder was delighted.
"Not exactly," Fang Che smiled. "I was intentionally looking for them; there's no way I couldn't find them."
The Divine Elder chuckled and asked, "Have you found Yinshen Palace?"
"No."
"Hehe..."
The Divine Elder chuckled and said, "Don't run ahead. Just follow from behind this time; the main force isn't you."
"Understood."
"Disciple is here."
"Hey, your cultivation has improved quite a bit," the Divine Elder said, squinting his eyes.
"It's okay."
Fang Che scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.
"You still look honest and obedient," the Divine Elder said. "Scram."
"Then I'll scram..."
"Scram!"
After two days and two nights, the Southeast Command Center announced the failure of their operation to capture and suppress Yinshen Palace.
All personnel returned to their respective families to rest.
Leaving behind only Xiong Rujun's Battle Arena, the search continued throughout the forest, like a headless fly.
In the void, Duan Xiyang, who had been paying attention to this side, also fell into deep thought and disappeared.
Sun Wutian, with his mind and body severely injured, had already returned to the Southeast Headquarters.
With this person in the Southeast Headquarters of the Only Righteous Sect, Duan Xiyang felt disgusted just by being there. He didn't even go inside but walked in the opposite direction.
"Where are you?"
"I'm hiding in a secret location arranged by the Night Demon, and I'm safe."
"Take care of yourself."
"Understood, sir."
"After escaping danger, return to the sect and ask for punishment yourself."
"Understood, sir. I was too reckless this time."
"Good to know."
Elsewhere, Ningxue Jian and the others also heaved a sigh of relief.
The encirclement and suppression operation had finally ended.
Fortunately, they hadn't found Yinshen Palace, or else... Duan Xiyang would have taken action. Although there were many peak experts among the Guardians here, including Ningxue Jian himself, they didn't feel confident in stopping this murderous person.
Since they hadn't found Yinshen Palace, it was a good opportunity to attend the celebration in Biyue City. Today was the wedding day, so Zhao Shanhe led the high-level experts from the Southeast Headquarters, along with An Ruoxing and others, as well as over a hundred Palace Guardians from various regions, to Biyue City to join the festivities.
"Although we didn't capture Yinshen Palace, since we're here, it's only right to have a drink before leaving."
"We should give Fang Inspector some face."
"Let's go, everyone. Let's give Fang Inspector some face and go drink the wedding wine."
"..."
With a call, everyone set off with a rumble.
Fang Che: "I didn't invite anyone... What face are you giving me?"
But since everyone had already gone, he couldn't very well send them away. He pinched his nose and said, "Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome..."
Mo Gan Yun and the others were even more excited.
"Let's go to Elder Fang's house for the wedding wine!"
"Elder Fang's parents are getting married today, it's a joyous occasion!"
"Yes, yes, it's their first marriage, a truly blessed union."
"Elder Fang's son can be the best man! What a happy occasion..."
Fang Che listened with a black line on his forehead.
These guys seemed to be talking about their own happy event, but as he listened, he felt that these words... Although there was nothing wrong with them, there seemed to be something off.
First marriage... Joyous occasion... Son... Best man...
What the hell...
Fang Che sucked in a breath along the way.
Dong Yunyu spoke seriously: "Elder Fang, your parents are like my own. Since they're getting married today, I, as their son, had to drink a few cups!"
Listening to this, Fang Che couldn't breathe.
Was there something wrong with these words? No, there wasn't, was there?
But... didn't it feel very strange?
Dong Yunyu, Feng Xiangdong, Yu Zhongge, and Xue Wanren suddenly became the center of attention.
Since they were going to attend the wedding, they needed to bring gifts. So, they borrowed some from others to maintain appearances.
The four of them were quite arrogant, but in the end, they managed to gather enough gifts.
And they were all good things.
Only then did they feel relieved.
Throughout the process, Fang Che was on the side, nitpicking: "This won't do, it's too shabby, change it to something better."
He gritted his teeth, his eyes full of provocation, as he picked and chose, showing his disdain.
But no one paid him any mind.
They knew he was itching to hit someone, but they weren't going to fall for it. It was better to lose some money than to offend him.
After all, these were gifts.
Dong Yunyu clicked his tongue: "My parents' wedding, and I'm choosing gifts... This won't do, that won't do..."
He said this only for his friends to hear.
Of course, he wouldn't let Fang Che hear it.
Laughter erupted instantly.
Fang Che turned his head, his face dark, and everyone fell silent.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing!"
"Speak!"
"I just thought of something happy."
"Me too."
"..."
Fang Che felt like his lungs were about to burst from holding it in.
Throughout the journey, Jiang Shang O, the Celestial Authority Sovereign, approached Fang Che and his group, smiling at their banter.
His eyes were warm, with a hint of envy.
But more than that, there was a sense of blessing.
As they reached the outskirts of Biyue City, Jiang Shang O called out to Fang Che: "Inspector Fang."
Fang Che turned to see Jiang Shang O standing under a distant tree, no longer moving forward.
He flew over and said with a smile: "Is there something the matter, Lord Jiang?"
"I, Jiang, have official duties to attend to. I've already taken these few days off, so I won't be going into the city to drink."
Jiang Shang O looked deeply into Fang Che's face and said slowly: "Here is a gift. I ask Inspector Fang to deliver it on my behalf. It's just a small token of my respect, and I hope Inspector Fang won't reject it."
He handed over a jade box.
"Fang Che respectfully thanks the Celestial Authority Sovereign on behalf of his parents."
Fang Che accepted the box with both hands.
Jiang Shang O looked at Fang Che's face and smiled, saying: "Inspector Fang and his brothers have a great relationship. I, Jiang, am also very envious."
