Chapter 592: A Massive Shock [Two-in-One]
Chapter 592: A Massive Shock [Two-in-One]
With the White Elephant Continent matter settled, the next step was only natural. The Life and Death Patrol Team had just taken their second solid step.
The Southeastern Seventeen Provinces, a daunting task ahead.
"How should we arrange the next mission?"
Yu Zhong Ge asked.
"Mo Gan Yun, Yu Zhong Ge, and Xue Wan Ren, head to the White Cloud Continent for reorganization," Fang Che instructed.
"Feng Xiang Dong, Dong Yun Yu, Qiu Yun Shang, and Jing Shuang Gao, proceed to the White Apple Island for reorganization," Fang Che continued.
"Divide into two teams!"
Fang Che had already thought it through clearly.
He directly announced the plan.
After this special training, Fang Che's cultivation had advanced to the third rank of the Lord level, while Yu Zhong Ge and the others had reached the fourth rank.
Feng Xiang Dong and Xue Wan Ren had also broken through to the Lord level.
Moreover, their respective families had sent an abundance of resources, elixirs, protective treasures, and powerful weapons.
The Life and Death team had essentially upgraded from knives to cannons.
"We have no issues going to those two continents, but what about you?" Yu Zhong Ge found Fang Che's arrangement a bit strange.
"Me? I won't be going out for now, nor will I be executing any missions. I'll return to the East Lake Continent to oversee things."
Fang Che had already prepared his reason: "The Chief Commander ordered me back to the East Lake, and there are many matters to attend to there. From now on, even if our Life and Death team executes any missions, we must have someone stationed at headquarters when we're in the Southeastern region. After all, we're now affiliated with the Southeast, from now on, don't forget this."
"I see. It's said that the White Cloud Continent is already in turmoil."
Mo Gan Yun explained, "The underground world of the White Cloud Continent is in a fierce battle."
"You don't need to worry about the underground world. It has its own order and rules, and for that dark area, we can't reach it. Even if we conquer it, we can't control it. Now, the Night Emperor of the Southeast is taking advantage of our reorganization of the surface to simultaneously reorganize the underground, which shows that he's on the same side as us..."
Fang Che added, "Make contact and build a good relationship if possible, and if not, just do your best to cooperate. This time, we must sweep through the Southeastern Seventeen Provinces!"
"We must cooperate well!"
"Yes!"
"Go!"
"Yes!"
On this day, with the morning breeze blowing, Yu Zhong Ge and the other two took the lead and departed, leaving the White Elephant Continent.
Watching the three brothers disappear into the distance, Fang Che couldn't help but smile, as if he could already see the brothers shocking the world in their own ways.
Now, with the first step taken, the plan was flawless, and the day of its arrival was just a matter of time.
After an hour, Feng Xiang Dong and the others also set off.
Fang Che, together with Ye Meng, stayed one more day on the White Elephant Continent.
In the afternoon, they went to the small courtyard where Ju Xiu Shui once lived. After walking around inside, he unleashed his divine power.
A thunderous boom echoed.
The small courtyard completely collapsed.
It became a flat piece of land.
"Rest in peace from this day forward."
Fang Che remained silent for a moment, then left with Ye Meng.
If this small courtyard belonged to Zuo Guang Le, Fang Che wouldn't have destroyed it. But since it was Ju Xiu Shui's, leaving it as it was would inevitably attract visitors.
And a girl's former boudoir, how could others be allowed to intrude? Moreover, Ju Xiu Shui was a stunning beauty, and if someone with impure intentions defiled any of her belongings, it would be a great desecration of her spirit! So, Fang Che decided to destroy it.
The two, with their clothes fluttering in the breeze, walked out of the alley.
In the teahouse, there was still a group of martial artists gazing, all of them having heard the commotion.
But not a single one dared to investigate.
Seeing Fang Che emerge calmly from the alley, his long robe billowing, everyone's hearts tightened at the sight.
That handsome face seemed to carry the aura of the Nine Underworlds.
As they were thinking.
But then, Fang Che, who had been walking, turned around, looking back at them.
As everyone's hearts tightened, they saw Fang Che reveal a brilliant smile.
The crowd was taken aback, unable to hold back their smiles.
Fang Che waved.
Toward the teahouse.
Also toward the small courtyard in the alley, now a flat piece of land, he waved slightly.
Then, leading Ye Meng, with their sleeves fluttering, they turned the corner and disappeared.
Until Fang Che's figure vanished, the crowd in the teahouse remained excited.
Their spirits lifted.
"That one turn and wave from Captain Fang, so cool!"
"Yes, with Captain Fang in black and my sister-in-law in white, they seemed like celestial beings, a glance back, warm and harmonious, that smile, I'll never forget in this lifetime."
"Me too."
Those who had once feared Fang Che were now excited, and suddenly, the autumn air felt like spring.
Even the path Fang Che walked on seemed to radiate harmony.
"From now on, I'll come here often to drink tea and reminisce about today. This feeling, it's so good."
"Me too, but now, I really want to go drink. To celebrate that smile."
"Me too!"
"Let's go together."
"Let's go!"
Everyone laughed, bursting out, heading to find a tavern for drinks.
Today, Captain Fang smiled, such a good thing, such a wonderful smile, how could we not drink to celebrate?
……
"Those guys, they're actually quite adorable."
As Night Meng followed Fang Che, walking amidst the dappled sunlight of autumn, a sudden sense of contentment and tranquility washed over her, and she couldn't help but smile.
"They are quite adorable."
Fang Che took slow steps, crunching on the fallen leaves, creating a soft rustling sound. He sighed, "They're all struggling in the martial world... Some have today, some have tomorrow, each carrying unknown burdens, and every single one of them, it's not easy..."
"Mmm."
"This life... What everyone presents to the outside world is always bright and glamorous, but in private, it's filled with hardships and pain..."
Night Meng suddenly remembered the tear at the corner of Fang Che's eye, and her heart trembled.
Do you also have so many hardships and pains?
But you didn't even tell me.
...
Mu Lin Yuan had been staying at the inn for four days, and each day felt like a year.
Fang Che had already received the news, but he was busy as hell.
Moreover, Xue Fu Xiao, Qing Long Dao, and the others were right there in White Elephant Continent, and Fang Che didn't dare to make a move.
And Mu Lin Yuan dared even less.
All he could do was wait.
Finally, the atmosphere in White Elephant Continent became increasingly relaxed.
That evening, Fang Che sent a message, and the two met at a small tavern outside the inn.
Mu Lin Yuan finally felt at ease.
In the evening, the two sat across from each other in the tavern and drank a cup. Fang Che didn't even bother with disguise.
Because in White Elephant Continent, there were too many experts, and he himself was the center of attention, not knowing how many divine senses were entangled around him.
Disguising himself now wouldn't fool anyone, so he might as well be open and aboveboard.
But this scared Mu Lin Yuan quite a bit.
"Why didn't you disguise yourself? That's too risky."
"What am I afraid of? Can't I have a few friends?"
Fang Che sent a sound transmission to comfort him.
"The item is here."
Mu Lin Yuan pushed a package towards Fang Che, who didn't even look at it and directly stored it in his spatial ring.
Only then did Mu Lin Yuan finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Finally, it had safely reached Fang Che's hands, and it wasn't easy at all.
"There's a letter inside, it's for you, including specific instructions on what to do, it's all written there. You can find a chance to read it when you get back."
Mu Lin Yuan sent a sound transmission.
"Alright."
Fang Che laughed, "During this time, it hasn't been easy in White Elephant Continent, has it?"
This sentence wasn't sent through sound transmission, but they had resumed normal conversation.
Mu Lin Yuan sighed and smiled wryly, "Every day has been nerve-wracking... In White Elephant Continent, how did so many people get killed..."
"Let's drink."
"Okay."
The two clinked cups and started telling some jokes.
During this time, someone walked into the small tavern and was startled to see Fang Che there.
But soon they realized that Fang Che, like them, also had friends, also came out to drink, and instead, they felt closer.
Many people perked up their ears to listen to Fang Che's stories about the martial world, and as they listened, they couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Fang Che laughed and scolded, "You bunch of guys, if you want to listen, then listen openly, if you want to laugh, then laugh openly, don't be sneaky and eavesdrop, or I'll report you as spies."
Instantly, laughter filled the tavern.
Everyone relaxed and started having a good time.
One by one, they felt that tonight's drink was truly worth it.
Fang Che stood up and raised a cup, "I know everyone wants to toast, so skip it. I'll toast everyone, and let's consider it settled. Come, let's drink, life in the martial world isn't easy... I hope you all walk the right path, get rich, be good people, turn bad into good, and turn danger into safety.
"Cheers!"
Instantly, everyone in the tavern stood up, "Thank you, Captain Fang! Cheers!"
After a cup of drink, everyone's hearts were filled with emotions.
Some sat down with wet eyes.
'Life in the martial world isn't easy,' everyone had heard these words countless times, at least ten thousand times.
But somehow, when Captain Fang said it, a strange sourness and touch arose in their hearts.
It's truly not easy, ah.
"That's a gift for you."
With these words, a white figure floated in and entered the tavern.
Fang Che was startled, and it was actually Xue Fu Xiao.
He hurriedly stood up, "Elder Xue! How did you come?"
With these words, the entire tavern suddenly fell silent.
Mu Lin Yuan, sitting across the table, trembled and his face paled.
This was an uncontrollable fear.
Even with the most powerful Ice-Clear Spiritual Platform, he couldn't steady his spiritual platform now.
"I just returned from outside the city, felt familiar divine sense fluctuations below, and out of curiosity, I came down to take a look, and sure enough, it was you.
Xue Fu Xiao, as if he owned the place, casually pulled a stool and sat down, asking, "Who's this?"
Casually picking up a pair of chopsticks.
Mu Lin Yuan's whole body went soft, and his legs turned into noodles as he was about to kneel, "Elder Xue... Elder Xue..."
Fang Che's face remained unchanged, and he scolded Mu Lin Yuan.
Then, to Xue Fu Xiao, "He's my informant in White Elephant Continent."
Mu Lin Yuan was jolted back to his senses by Fang Che's words, barely managing to control himself and avoid kneeling.
Xue Fu Xiao curiously asked, "Informant? Oh, so you guys are... meeting up?"
Mu Lin Yuan stuttered, "Yes, yes... meeting up..."
He almost spilled the truth. The pressure was overwhelming for Mu Lin Yuan.
Fang Che smiled bitterly, "Xue, you've scared everyone... I was thinking about leaving tomorrow, so I came out to say goodbye... but you..."
Xue Fu Xiao burst into laughter, glancing around the tavern. Everyone was staring at him as if they had just seen a deity, their expressions frozen in shock.
Shaking his head, he said, "It's your fault. Why did you have to shout like that? Now I can't even drink in peace."
Disappointed, he stood up and said, "I'm leaving. It's a real buzzkill. You should head back early too, and be careful."
A white shadow disappeared without a trace.
A ray of golden light descended from the sky, landing on Fang Che's table with a loud slap, revealing a large ingot of gold.
Xue Fu Xiao's voice echoed, "I'll treat you all to this round of drinks."
His voice faded, and he truly left.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the ingot of gold on Fang Che's table, their gazes burning with intensity.
They had seen gold before, but this was different.
"This is Xue's gold! It carries his aura!"
This ingot of gold was enough to protect a household!
Fang Che smiled and called the shop owner, handing over the gold, "Xue is treating everyone, so you can keep this."
The owner was terrified, "I can't accept this much..."
"Just take it."
Fang Che insisted, leaving the gold on the counter.
Everyone's eyes followed the gold as it was placed on the counter.
Fang Che then addressed the rest of the tavern, "I know what you're thinking. The owner can't keep this gold either, but you can think all you want. No stealing! Understand?"
"Understood!"
With stealing prohibited, they were only allowed to buy. Everyone was excited.
As Fang Che and Mu Lin Yuan drank at one table, the other side of the tavern became even livelier than an auction house.
Xue Fu Xiao's gold ingot was auctioned off by a group of people for a thousand taels of gold, with an additional condition: to ensure the safety of the tavern owner.
This was because there were fewer people around, and not many knew about it, so it was a bargain.
The person who won the auction had a beaming smile and immediately sent someone home to gather friends. He found a clean box and carefully placed the gold inside...
Then, they collectively bowed to Fang Che and, with the protection of dozens of brothers, grandly escorted the gold home.
From then on, this gold ingot became a family heirloom, a divine artifact for protection!
Xue Fu Xiao's gold had such an effect that it made the owner instantly wealthy. Even Fang Che was impressed.
Impressive!
Mu Lin Yuan finally snapped out of his daze, his face still deathly pale.
This was the first time Mu Lin Yuan had encountered such a high-ranking figure in the Cloud Battlefield Arsenal Rankings. And he was at the pinnacle!
The true top of the pyramid.
Yet, he almost lost his three souls and seven spirits to fear.
Even after finishing the drinks, he dropped his chopsticks three times, clearly distracted.
Fang Che sighed, "How can I let you go like this?"
"Go?"
Mu Lin Yuan's heart jolted, "I'm leaving now!"
All he could think about was how to escape. He didn't dare stay here for another second.
Too dangerous!
To encounter Xue Fu Xiao over a drink was unbelievable!
What was the difference between this and sitting at a table with Zhong Kui?
"At least wait a bit, calm down. Besides, your luggage is still at the inn, right?"
Fang Che was speechless.
Mu Lin Yuan's face turned pale, and he stood up abruptly, "I don't need any of that."
He put on his bamboo hat without even looking at Fang Che, "I'm leaving!"
And he disappeared.
"What the..."
Fang Che was stunned.
Xue Fu Xiao's appearance had turned the usually calm and collected Mu Lin Yuan into this state!
It was obvious that leaving now for protection was not a good idea, but Fang Che was at a loss for words: "You're making it easier for yourself to be exposed, aren't you?"
Fortunately, there was no issue at the moment, and no one paid attention.
Otherwise, things could have gotten complicated.
Fang Che felt helpless. Ever since Xue Fu Xiao arrived in Donghu Continent, he had been looking for an opportunity to report the Blood Demon matter to him; it was a significant issue that had to be brought to Dong Fang San San's attention.
But this time, Xue Fu Xiao showed no interest in having a private conversation with him.
There was never an opportunity.
Fang Che had already given up on the idea, but when he met Mu Lin Yuan, Xue Fu Xiao came and disrupted everything.
Fang Che was at a loss for words. He just wanted to ask, "What exactly are you trying to do?"
After causing chaos, Fang Che saw Mu Lin Yuan off and then stayed to chat with him, but Xue Fu Xiao just left.
Insane! Fang Che was speechless.
How dare you choose to appear when you shouldn't? Why do you insist on seeking attention when you're not supposed to?
"It's not easy for Old Nine either."
Fang Che understood Dong Fang San San.
After all, just from today's incident, he understood Dong Fang San San's helplessness—his subordinates were all impulsive and reckless. What to do?
Take the sudden appearance of Xue Fu Xiao as an example, what was his intention?
This was truly illogical!
Mu Lin Yuan hurried out of the city at night, his heart nearly shattered with fear. He never expected to be exposed, and after leaving the city, he forced himself to act calmly and walked for several miles, taking a few turns.
Seeing that there were many obstacles behind him, he immediately sped up and sprinted for two thousand miles.
Only then did he sit down in a mountain pass and gasped for breath: "I'm so scared... I thought I was going to die..."
Only then did he feel his heart pounding.
"That was too dangerous!"
Cold sweat broke out, and a sense of fear suddenly rose, his clothes instantly becoming drenched as if he had been submerged in water.
"I'm not coming back here again..."
After resting for a while and seeing that there was no one around, Mu Lin Yuan took a pill and activated the Blood Burning Technique.
Whoosh! He disappeared without a trace.
In the air.
Xue Fu Xiao silently followed, without a sound, a shadow, or a trace, and he hee hee-ed with a smile, then turned and left.
As long as nothing happened, it's fine.
If you're like this, how can I bear to kill you now?
Xue Fu Xiao walked and told Dong Fang San San about this incident as if it were a funny story.
He was truly acting on a whim, and while patrolling high in the sky, he happened to spot Fang Che drinking outside and, out of curiosity, decided to go down.
But as soon as he descended, he realized it was a mistake, and this incident was going to ruin everything.
However, he couldn't just disappear directly, so he went through the motions and quickly disappeared.
In his heart, he felt a bit proud: My acting skills are improving.
Vanishing Act, that's how a master should be.
Over there, Dong Fang San San, upon hearing Xue Fu Xiao treating this incident as a joke, instantly became furious.
Even though they were separated by tens of thousands of miles, Dong Fang San San directly cursed Xue Fu Xiao, calling him a dog and drenching him in a torrent of insults.
This time, he truly held nothing back in his curses!
For half an hour, Dong Fang San San brought up the word 'pig' seventy-three times when talking about Xue Fu Xiao!
Xue Fu Xiao was so insulted that he returned to White Elephant Continent with his head hanging low, sighing all the way.
Guardian Headquarters.
Dong Fang San San's anger had not subsided, and when he touched his forehead, there was cold sweat.
It must be said that Xue Fu Xiao's mischievous act truly scared Dong Fang San San, as he knew how intimidating Xue Fu Xiao was to ordinary members of the Only Righteous Sect.
Just mentioning a name, standing before them, could make a demon lord surrender and expose his identity!
This bastard actually dared to pull such a stunt in front of Fang Che, Dong Fang San San was so furious that even his liver felt swollen!
Using a barrage of unprecedented insults, he ensured that such incidents would never happen again, and only then did he feel slightly relieved.
"Can't you let me have some peace of mind?!"
Dong Fang San San cursed.
Ning Xue Jian poked her head out: "Old Nine, what's wrong?"
"You pig-brained fool, how many years have you had that Ning Xue Jian without making any progress? You're hoping for a miracle? Is your brain made of pig brains? It's been three thousand years! Three thousand years?? How many three thousand years do I have to give you?! You pig, what have you been doing all this time?!"
Dong Fang San San thundered.
Ning Xue Jian was so insulted that she stood there in a daze.
She went out, her ears ringing with the insults all the way back.
What... did I do wrong?
Ning Xue Jian returned, feeling confused and disheartened.
...
In the morning.
Fang Che and Ye Meng were about to leave.
Qi Lie and the others came to see them off in an orderly manner.
Everyone was reluctant to part ways.
The most common words they said as they bid farewell to Fang Che were:
"Captain Fang, please take care!"
Everyone knew that Fang Che, as the captain of the Life and Death Patrol, played a crucial role in their hearts!
Although Mo Gan Yun and the others were also capable individuals, without Fang Che, the Life and Death Patrol, at this current time, was practically non-existent!
Because Mo Gan Yun and the others currently lacked the ability to break free from the influence of their families.
There would inevitably be biases.
But with Fang Che, it was different, as he had absolutely no backing!
Han Bai Ji held onto Fang Che: "If you have the time, please come to White Elephant Continent and have a drink with the old man."
The old hall master's white hair fluttered, his eyes sincere, and even his eyes were slightly moist.
"I'm doing this for Xiu Shui, thank you..."
"Rest assured, I will come."
Fang Che solemnly promised, then clasped his fists on the Unicorn: "Everyone... White Elephant Continent is now in a period of recovery and growth, I hope you all will... Fang Che still has official duties, so I bid you farewell."
"Take care, Fang Che!"
The old man waved his hand: "Go!"
He turned his horse first, and the Southeast Headquarters' team of experts instantly followed suit.
Fang Che cupped his hands, and Ye Meng bowed.
Then, they turned around, and the unicorn slowly started, gradually picking up speed, becoming a trail of dust on the long road.
The sound of hooves faded into the distance.
Qi Lie and the others stood at the city gates, gazing into the distance, their faces filled with emotion.
