Chapter 620: This is Fang Tu! [For the White Silver Alliance Leader's Older Brother, Extra Chapters
Chapter 620: This is Fang Tu! [For the White Silver Alliance Leader's Older Brother, Extra Chapters 35 and 36]
So, the White Mist Island is currently as tranquil as it can be.
Everyone is going about their business as usual, unperturbed by the imminent arrival of Fang Tu.
Even the preparations in the White Mist Island's main hall are merely a formality, and when Fang Tu arrives, they will just go through the motions.
They plan to kill some people and take the opportunity to eliminate a few gangs, putting the island in order. Then, after going through the motions, they will escort Fang Tu out of the island.
They will announce to the outside world that Fang Tu slaughtered countless enemies on the island, completing his mission with great merit... This way, everyone can save face and that's all there is to it.
What else can they do? Would they really offend Fang Tu and risk the wrath of the local aristocratic families?
Fang Tu himself has nothing to worry about; he can just leave after the deed is done. But who will clean up the mess he leaves behind? How will the work on the island proceed?
The White Mist Island is truly at the edge of the world, a place where the emperor's influence barely reaches.
However, in the past few days, numerous people have secretly arrived on the island.
Countless aristocratic martial artists have entered the island in secret.
Even some famous assassins have gathered here.
Among them are many well-known figures, as well as some who walk the fine line between good and evil. White Mist Island is vast, and these individuals' discreet arrivals do not cause much of a stir.
But... this phenomenon is still abnormal.
Such a situation has never occurred on the island before. Ever since the news of Fang Tu's arrival spread, these people have been arriving one after another.
"White Mist Island is about to witness a major event."
In the main hall, the hall master, Wu Zhiyun, frowns as he presides over a meeting.
"We must remain vigilant. Never before have so many experts flocked to White Mist Island. This abnormality is undoubtedly a sign of a significant event. Everyone, share your thoughts on why these people are here."
Wu Zhiyun looks around at the room full of people.
"What is there to say? They are obviously here because of Fang Tu's arrival."
"Yes, with Fang Tu coming, these people have all shown up. It's quite obvious."
"Moreover, they probably didn't come to help Fang Tu... Hehe."
"It's said that Fang Tu has killed many people in the mainland, including members of aristocratic families and even guardians of certain families... This guy is truly fearless."
"Isn't this his karma? He dares to come to White Mist Island alone, isn't that seeking death?"
"No one dares to touch the Wind, Rain, and Snow Clans, but Fang Tu is an outsider to a ninth-rank aristocratic family... Hehe, coming to White Mist Island alone is like offering himself up for assassination."
"Who in this world doesn't want to kill Fang Tu? It's clear that he was nurtured by Dongfang Junshi to become a sword that will sweep through the world. If he succeeds, after he's done with the southeast, he will undoubtedly move on to the southwest, north, and east."
"It's not surprising that people from other places would take this opportunity to kill him."
"After all, the major families and gangs aren't fools. They know what their people have done and what their reputation is like. They aren't deaf or blind, are they? They know what's going on under their noses. If they don't kill Fang Tu now, are they waiting for him to grow stronger and come back to kill them?"
"Hall Master, Fang Che's chances of leaving White Mist Island safely are not just slim, they are absolutely zero!"
One of the middle-aged men stands up and says, "With the current external forces, it's already beyond the capabilities of our main hall to handle. Not to mention the countless local powerhouses."
"Why have these powerful aristocratic families come to settle in White Mist Island? Isn't it because the emperor's influence barely reaches here, making it an ideal place for their schemes?"
"Fang Tu has broken the unspoken rules, and such a person is destined to have a short life."
"We all know that, from our standpoint, we should, in principle, not allow Fang Tu to die on White Mist Island. But in this matter, what we say doesn't truly matter. If we were to risk everything to protect Fang Che, I estimate... even if our entire main hall were to be buried, Fang Che would still inevitably meet his end!"
"Hall Master, we brothers have fought for the cause of the guardian hall our entire lives..."
As this person speaks, everyone nods in agreement.
However, there are dissenting opinions. An elderly man with a curly beard stands up angrily and says, "Isn't Fang Che the person we've been waiting for generation after generation? Now that such a person has appeared, how can you speak like this?"
"Elder Xia, what you say is reasonable. We do await such a person, that's true! Sweeping through the entire world would benefit governance, combat, and development, and even ordinary martial artists would benefit from joining the guardian hall. This point is undeniable!"
"How can we not know about the evildoers on this island, and who among them deserves to die? We also wish for them to be killed and eliminated, don't we?"
"The problem is, we can't do it!"
"If we can't, should the guardian hall still exist?"
"Although Fang Tu's actions are resolute and ruthless, as Elder Xia said, such a person is one we yearn for day and night.
But the problem lies in the fact that Fang Tu is too young! He's too weak!"
"Weakness is a sin!"
"This is not only true in the Jianghu, but also on the battlefield, and not just in the Weiwo Sect. Even in this world, among the Guardians, and among the Defenders, weakness is still a sin!"
"A person like Fang Che, the more the better, we do indeed hope for that, but he doesn't have the ability to clean up White Mist Island, can you still deny this?"
"If Lingxue Jian Rui Qianshan comes to clean up White Mist Island, I would follow him to the ends of the earth, even if I die in battle, I would smile in the afterlife. Because Sword Master truly has the ability and strength to exterminate all the evil-doers!"
"But what about Fang Tu?"
"He's not capable."
"If he's not capable, and we still do this, we can only turn White Mist Island into a mess, causing all the previously harmonious relationships to turn sour! We'll plunge the entire White Mist Island society into chaos."
"After Fang Che leaves or dies, our Guardhouse will become the target of everyone's arrows!"
"No one will listen to us anymore."
"Even all the aristocratic families will unite and attack us together!"
"This is a situation we can already foresee! I don't believe you can't see it, and you can't guess it!"
"If it really becomes that corrupt, what are we talking about when we say we're guarding a place? Our Guardhouse won't just be in name only, but it will truly be wiped out completely!"
"Xia Laotang Zhuang, do you know the consequences of that?"
"Am I exaggerating, or do we all know this in our hearts? White Mist Island is a place where the emperor is far away, and it has always been co-governed by the Guardhouse and various aristocratic families! This tradition has been passed down for thousands of years!"
"Have you heard this saying: 'Ironclad aristocratic families, and the Guardhouse officials come and go like water'?"
"There are two fourth-rank clans, and how many fifth, sixth, and seventh-rank clans are there?"
"Fang Che is full of passion, no doubt! I also think so, but if he comes alone, what can he do besides causing trouble for us?!"
Xia Laotang Zhuang's white beard seemed to explode, and he was extremely frustrated: "Is it that, a hero who has finally appeared, a fighter; we, as his fellow brothers, are going to just watch him die in battle? What kind of logic is this?"
"Integrate into the Jianghu, merge into society, blend with the dust, first follow the current; then, in a place where one feels like a fish in water, slowly display one's ambition, starting from the small details, and silently changing things, this is the true way of governing and bringing order to the world."
"As the saying goes, governing a large country is like cooking a small fish; the Guardhouse is the same."
"Aggressive methods will only intensify conflicts, turning small matters into big issues, causing an uproar, and leading to an unmanageable situation, making the people's lives even more miserable!"
"Any person who stands out with innovative and enterprising methods, and aggressive means, will not have a good outcome! Because this person touches the interests of everyone in the world! Such people have appeared in history, but I want to ask Xia Laotang Zhuang a question: throughout history, has there ever been a person like this who had a good ending?"
"Has there ever been one?!"
"Fang Tu is indeed such a person, but how can he be an exception?"
"Dongfang Junshi's wisdom and strategies are renowned throughout the world, and he naturally understands the benefits of a complete overhaul, but why hasn't he done this all along? It's only after Fang Tu and the others appeared that he started the Southeast Pilot Project. Can't Sword Master and the others pacify the world? But Junshi didn't do it!"
"Why?!"
"It's just a pilot! Just a pilot!!!"
"Speaking of this, speaking of the heart of the matter, the people from the Wind, Rain, Snow Clans and others, of course, temporarily no one dares to move against them. Even if they can continue the overhaul, but who will they be overhauling in the end? In the end, they can only overhaul the Wind, Rain, Snow Clans!"
"The Wind, Rain, Snow Clans are indeed upright and just, but for such a large clan, do you believe that there's not a single bad apple or rotten egg...?"
"Can they be overhauled?"
The Guardhouse fell silent.
After a long while, several sighs echoed.
Wu Zhiyun sighed and said, "In that case, we'll proceed according to the original plan. We welcome Fang Che's arrival for the patrol, and if there are no unexpected events, we must cooperate fully, but we need to control the scope. The range can't be too large... we must maintain stability in White Mist Island."
"Everyone should also prepare a list of people to be overhauled. When Fang Captain arrives, if he can leave safely, we must ensure he leaves with achievements, not empty-handed."
"If there's danger, we must also guarantee Fang Captain's safety."
Wu Zhiyun said indifferently, "Even if there are sacrifices, we won't hesitate."
His eyes swept across everyone's faces, sharp as an eagle, and he said indifferently, "If the situation becomes uncontrollable, and Fang Captain meets an unfortunate end in White Mist Island... then the people of White Mist Island can fight and die alongside him, but we can't let Fang Captain be the only one to perish!"
Wu Yun took a deep breath and said indifferently, "Do you all understand this?!"
The crowd replied gloomily, "We understand!"
"Since you understand, I won't say more.
Wu Zhin Yun spoke calmly, "From today, everyone will be assigned shifts. Each shift will accompany Fang Tu on his missions... This is a matter of life and death. If any shift is unfortunate enough to encounter a fatal calamity... then accept it. The families of the fallen will be cared for and nurtured for a hundred years by the Zhen Shou Da Dian!"
"Yes!"
"Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
"Alright, everyone, return to your duties. White Mist Island, do not cause any trouble!" Wu Zhin Yun said with authority.
The crowd dispersed.
Everyone understood Wu Zhin Yun's final words: if only Fang Che dies, the Zhen Shou Da Dian of White Mist Island will collectively suffer. Dong Fang Jun Shi's wrath will undoubtedly fall upon them.
However, if someone from the Zhen Shou Da Dian bravely fights and dies alongside Fang Che, then no one can blame the Zhen Shou Da Dian for not doing their best! And if the upper echelons send people to thoroughly reorganize White Mist Island at that time, it would be even better. It would achieve the goal of thoroughly reorganizing White Mist Island!
In the end, who benefits the most? Isn't it still the Zhen Shou Da Dian of White Mist Island? A thousand years of peace and prosperity, gained through these sacrifices, is it not worth it?
...
White Mist Island.
Countless martial artists had gathered at various inns across the island.
Many of them were concentrated near the gates, staying at nearby inns.
Every day, people gathered at the gates, inquiring and waiting.
Whispers and murmurs spread from person to person.
"Has Fang Tu arrived?"
"Is Fang Che not here yet?"
"I've been waiting for him for two days, and he still hasn't shown up."
"I came three days early."
"I arrived four days ago."
"How did you get here so fast?"
"I was on a mission nearby, and then I received the task to kill Fang Tu. Since it wasn't far, I came straight here..."
"Fang Tu is alone... even if he dies, the credit won't be divided."
"Whoever kills him gets the credit."
"That's true."
"But this Fang Tu is really something... I've been wandering around for a while, and I've seen at least four to five hundred fellow martial artists..."
"Four to five hundred? You underestimate Fang Tu! The minimum number of people trying to kill him from various places is in the thousands, maybe even more."
"That's right. Fang Tu chose to single-handedly take on White Mist Island, which is practically seeking death. It's a once-in-a-millennium opportunity to kill him."
"Indeed, with the distant emperor, who knows who will be blamed for his death during the reorganization of White Mist Island?"
"Absolutely."
At the gate, the official in charge of the Zhen Shou Da Dian looked worried.
White Mist Island was filled with hidden turmoil, and Fang Tu hadn't even arrived yet. But this turmoil was reaching a point where it could no longer be contained.
Everyone in the Zhen Shou Da Dian could see this.
For many years, White Mist Island had never been like this.
Martial artists kept entering the city, no longer trying to conceal their presence.
There were too many of them.
The gate official almost believed that White Mist Island was attracting the entire martial world.
"Lord Fang..."
The gate official prayed in his heart, "If you receive this message now... please, go as far away as you can. Please, do not come here."
"Your arrival... is more terrifying than a tsunami."
"And it's not you who caused this, but White Mist Island... it's all prepared for you."
The people on the streets of White Mist Island were all wearing cotton-padded clothes.
The autumn wind was bleak, carrying a chill that blew day and night without stop.
It stripped away the warmth of the earth layer by layer.
The autumn sun hung weakly in the west, and the sun was about to set.
The dying sun's rays turned the endless vast land outside the city into a sea of blood.
Countless yellow leaves were blown up, covering the official road outside the city with a layer of golden yellow.
But the next moment, everyone felt that something was amiss.
Something seemed different...
A surge of murderous aura suddenly rose from outside the south gate.
It was like a surging tide, a rising sea, wave after wave, rushing towards the city.
The chill of this murderous aura even overshadowed the biting autumn wind.
Everyone's hearts trembled.
Countless people leaned over the city walls, gazing into the distance.
At the edge of their vision, a black-clad figure appeared.
This dark shadow walked on the official road, stepping on the golden yellow fallen leaves, heading straight for the gate of White Mist Island.
The moment his shadow appeared, the sun on the horizon sank below the horizon, losing its brilliance! The world suddenly darkened.
He walked on the fallen leaves.
The golden glowing leaves, just moments ago, turned into withered and dead objects as he appeared! He walked quickly.
The twilight descended swiftly.
From the moment they saw his shadow, until he approached the gate, close enough to see his face clearly.
Suddenly, darkness enveloped the world, and twilight descended upon White Mist Island! The tall, straight figure stood outside the gate.
The howling autumn wind blew his black robe, and his hair fluttered wildly. His handsome face was revealed.
In the darkness.
His cold, glittering eyes seemed to contain the starlight of the vast sky, shining brilliantly.
But they also carried boundless darkness, an endless void.
Everyone was stunned by his imposing aura, unable to utter a word. With his arrival, it seemed as though the eternal night of White Mist Island had descended upon them.
This was the first time they had experienced such an impact. For a moment, their minds went blank.
The man in black stood tall, his right hand raised, and a golden glow burst forth.
He opened his mouth, and his words thundered like spring thunder, echoing in all directions.
"The Guardian of the Southeast Headquarters, Life and Death Patrol Captain, Fang Che! I have arrived at White Mist Island today! Please open the city gates!"
It was as if a bolt of lightning had appeared in the sky during the dead of winter.
With just one sentence, the nearby yellow leaves rustled like rain falling from the trees.
The spring thunder roared, and not a single withered leaf dared to linger on the branches.
Fang Tu had arrived!
Everyone in the city felt a tremor in their hearts.
"Open the gates quickly!"
The gatekeeper roared.
The gates opened with a thunderous boom.
Not until the gates were fully open, and the two heavy doors stood on either side, did Fang Che lift his foot and stride forward, entering with unwavering precision through the center, neither swaying nor hesitating, his every step exuding an aura of commanding presence.
Lanterns hung throughout the city, their light spreading far and wide.
The gate tunnel was pitch black, with shadows dancing in the light.
Everyone watched with wide eyes as Fang Che emerged from the boundless darkness of the gate tunnel.
Then, he walked along the brightly lit avenue.
It was as if a sword had suddenly emerged from the darkness. Fang Che strode forward with his head held high, his chest puffed out.
Before him, countless lights and shadows danced, as if concealing countless demons and ghosts.
Fang Che walked alone, as if entering a cave of ten thousand ghosts.
The light and shadows flickered, casting a dazzling brilliance on his upright face and tall figure. With each step, he maintained a consistent stride, moving forward with composure. Alone, he carried an aura of commanding presence, naturally causing a thousand armies to yield and ten thousand evils to retreat.
He was like a lone knight charging towards countless enemies.
His aura was like a mountain call and a sea roar, surging forward.
The crowd surged, but as Fang Che passed by, everyone, regardless of their status, stepped aside.
In the flickering light, his black robe shimmered, reflecting the fleeting brilliance of the starry sky.
Wherever he went, silence followed.
It was as if he had a built-in mute function.
On both sides were countless ordinary people, as well as those waiting to kill him. But as he passed by, not a single person dared to make a sound!
Not even the people of White Mist Island.
Sun Wutian, who had been watching from high above, suddenly felt a genuine admiration rise within him.
"What an impressive aura!"
"So badass!"
"Such a majestic presence, truly worthy of a man's life!"
After Fang Che's departure, Sun Wutian realized that he would soon use this image to awe White Mist Island. A surge of excitement coursed through his veins.
His eyes fixed on Fang Che below, he earnestly imitated his demeanor in his mind.
At this moment, Sun Wutian did not view Fang Che as a junior but as a role model. After all, Fang Che was only at the Sovereign Rank.
What did it mean to possess such an aura at the Sovereign Rank? It meant fearlessness, indifference to life and death, and the courage to walk through mountains of blades and forests of swords.
Sun Wutian carefully imitated the essence of this power.
His blood boiled with excitement, and he felt a sense of anticipation.
Fang Che was like a ship cutting through the water, moving slowly yet steadily, but in reality, he was swift.
Without needing any guidance, he made his way towards the White Mist Island Guardhouse.
The Guardhouse had already received news of his arrival.
The Guardhouse's leader, Wu Zhiyun, greeted him with a smile and led a group to welcome him from a distance.
"Captain Fang, we have eagerly awaited your arrival day and night. We are delighted to finally have you here."
Wu Zhiyun approached with enthusiasm.
Fang Che's expression remained unchanged as he stopped walking and said, "Leader Wu, there is no need for such formality. You and I are brothers-in-arms, and we are here for the people of the world. Remember, the lights of a million homes shine upon us, and the lives of a million people rest in our hands!"
"Work is urgent!"
Fang Che calmly stated, "Leader Wu, my time is limited. Now that I'm here, I need to review the records of White Mist Island. Are they ready for my inspection?"
Wu Zhiyun replied, "Captain Fang, you've traveled a long way, and we understand your fatigue. We have prepared a banquet to welcome you and help you settle in..."
"No need!"
Fang Che waved his hand to interrupt, "Take me to see the records!"
He strode forward, cutting through the crowd. His black-winged cloak fluttered as he passed, and he asked, "Leader Wu, what are you waiting for?"
The people in the Guardhouse scowled.
This Captain Fang was indeed cold and unyielding.
Wu Zhiyun's expression remained unchanged. "Since Captain Fang is eager to start work, we will fully cooperate. Follow me, everyone!"
The crowd grunted in response.
They followed him inside.
They saw the doors of the Guardhouse slowly opening.
Only then did the people outside feel a sense of relief.
Some took deep breaths, realizing they had been holding their breath since Fang Che's arrival.
"Is this Fang Tu?!"
Someone asked in astonishment.
This question elicited silent nods from many.
"Yes, this is Fang Tu! Fang Che!"
