Chapter 653: A Sword Drawn, A Life Taken!

"So before the Supreme Leader established the sect, we basically had to hide our identities and disappear from the cultivation world."

Mo Wang chuckled, "Because there's a possibility that people from the original department might want to silence us."

"Is that so?"

Fang Che was perplexed, "Resigning and having it approved, yet still facing the threat of being silenced?"

"Who doesn't have something they'd rather keep hidden from others?"

Mo Wang sighed, "Changing one's identity is never easy."

"..."

At this moment, Fang Che sincerely felt that the Only Righteous Sect was truly formidable.

Every year, more people died in internal conflicts than in battles against the Guardian, yet they still managed to suppress the other side!

If it weren't for the internal strife...

As he thought about it, he couldn't help but speak his mind.

Mo Wang laughed, "Supreme Leader, you worry too much. If we switch positions... If the Guardian side has the absolute upper hand, then the side with more deaths from internal conflicts..."

"Humans are just like that, always fighting among themselves, revealing their inferior nature. But if humans didn't fight amongst themselves, what's the point? They fight, die, and are reborn, all for some petty matters."

"Mo Wang, you seem to have seen through the mortal world."

Fang Che couldn't help but laugh.

"I dare not. I still have to follow the Supreme Leader in building achievements and will dedicate my life to the endless internal conflicts... Seeing through the mortal world is not an option."

Mo Wang shook his head seriously.

"Haha... Not bad."

Mo Wang quickly took out the Communication Jade and contacted the Five Spirit Gu, "Supreme Leader, we haven't added each other for communication yet..."

"Okay."

As they spoke, Long Yi Kong and the others also arrived. They gathered around Fang Che, each of them looking relaxed.

Finally, Yang Jiucheng also appeared.

Everyone was now assembled.

They headed towards Yinshen Gong.

As they approached, they saw Mulin Yuan and the others crouching on the ground, attending to something. Fang Che hurried over and was shocked by what he saw.

Yinshen Gong's face was as pale as paper, his breath weak, and he seemed on the verge of death.

He had suffered a fatal injury!

"Who did this?!"

Fang Che was furious, his body radiating killing intent as he burst out in anger.

Mulin Yuan quickly covered his mouth, "Silence... Little Ancestor!"

Fang Che was stunned. It seemed there was an inside story? Suppressing his anger, he quickly took out a pill, intending to feed it to Yinshen Gong. However, Yinshen Gong, who was barely hanging on, closed his mouth and tremblingly raised his hand, pushing the pill away.

Fang Che was dumbfounded. He turned to Mulin Yuan and asked, "What... happened?"

"This was done by Duan Shouzuo..."

Mulin Yuan's face was filled with worry and bitterness, but there was also a hint of pride, "Duan Shouzuo personally did this..."

Fang Che was stunned, "So?"

"So the Supreme Leader can't be treated, and he doesn't want to be treated."

Mulin Yuan sighed.

"But he's about to die..." Fang Che exclaimed, "And you're not treating him?"

"..." Mulin Yuan didn't respond.

"..."

Fang Che was speechless.

Then he learned that Yinshen Gong's four people were celebrating. Suddenly, Duan Xiaoyang arrived. In front of everyone, he slapped Yinshen Gong, leaving him unconscious.

He angrily scolded, "You mess around and do all sorts of nonsense! Not doing what you're supposed to do, and doing what you shouldn't with all your might! Useless thing!"

Then he turned and left.

Everyone was stunned.

No one could understand what had gotten into Duan Shouzuo. Why did he suddenly come to beat up a subordinate sect leader?

The most critical part was that he didn't kill him!

Fang Che was a little worried, but Mo Wang pulled him aside.

"Supreme Leader, don't worry... Just watch."

Mo Wang spoke softly.

"Ah?"

Fang Che scratched his head.

Soon after, Fang Che witnessed a scene he couldn't comprehend.

Yinshen Gong lay there, barely alive, and next to him, people kept coming over and asking, "What happened?"

Those who came to ask were happy about others' misfortunes, some were curious, and some wanted to kick him while he was down. In any case, none of them had good intentions; not a single person genuinely cared.

Yinshen Gong, barely conscious, spoke in a weak and intermittent voice, while Mulin Yuan, standing beside him, looked grave and explained.

Upon hearing the words "Duan Shouzuo did this," everyone fell silent.

Many even showed sincere envy in their eyes. They were at a distance, but they didn't leave; instead, they watched from afar.

More and more people came, and the discussions grew louder.

Yinshen Gong and Mulin Yuan just lay there, one barely conscious and the other explaining with a grave face.

"Duan Shouzuo did this..."

"Duan Shouzuo hit me..."

"Duan Shouzuo..."

Slowly... Countless people learned that Duan Shouzuo had personally come to beat up Yinshen Gong, the leader of the One Heart Sect, and he hadn't killed him.

Moreover, it was because 'he hadn't done well the task assigned by Shouzuo...'

"Shouzuo was furious and personally punished him..."

But as Mulin Yuan explained, the faces and eyes of those around them gradually changed, and they all showed envy.

Looking at Yinshen Gong lying on the ground, he couldn't help but wish that Duan Xiaoyang had beaten him to death.

This Yinshen Gong, so powerful? He was actually beaten by Duan Xiaoyang but didn't die?

Tsk... This... I need to think this through carefully.

Fang Che's eyes widened.

"Is this possible?"

Mo Wang chuckled but didn't explain.

He knew that the Supreme Leader understood him, but it was just that his worldview had been flipped in an instant. So, as a subordinate, he didn't explain in detail.

If, by any chance, the Supreme Leader felt that he was too... eager to teach, even wanting to instruct the Supreme Leader? Then...

As an old hand in the world, Mo Wang was very clear about this.

Meanwhile, Long Yi Kong and the others accompanied Fang Che, telling jokes and waiting for the banquet. They also accompanied Fang Che to guard Yinshen Gong.

More and more people gathered around, forming a large circle, which attracted even more people. Some even flew from afar after hearing the news to specifically watch the 'subordinate Supreme Leader who was beaten but not killed by Duan Xiaoyang.'

Before long, this place had become a bustling center of attention.

Fang Che: "..."

...

On the other side.

Yan Nan had already arrived at the small hill.

Yan Bei Han and the others were pondering 'reason' when they saw Yan Nan's arrival, and the four women immediately put on a pretense of 'deep thought.'

"Alright, stop pretending." Yan Nan said indifferently, "Come over here."

The four women instantly gathered around him.

Yan Bei Han asked, "Grandpa, what good news do you have?"

Yan Nan humphed and said, "Grandpa lost a flower for you, can't I make up for it?"

He took out a Heavenly Jade Flower from his spatial ring.

Of course, it was the kind with the Heavenly Beauty Pill plucked from it.

"Here!"

"Wow!"

"Wow wow!"

"Wow wow wow!"

Bi Yun Yan, Feng Xue Chen, and Xue, the three women, exclaimed in delight.

Yan Bei Han jumped high into the air, laughing heartily, "Grandpa, you're the best!"

As he was joyfully jumping in mid-air, he gave Yan Nan a questioning look.

Grandpa, can't you see my intention? How did you get here?

Did you go to find the Night Demon?

Yan Nan smiled and handed the flower to Yan Bei Han, saying, "Come with me, I want to talk to you."

He took Yan Bei Han and left.

Bi Yun Yan and the other two women were so excited that they couldn't contain themselves. They hugged each other and waved happily at Yan Bei Han, their faces filled with smiles.

Yan Nan brought Yan Bei Han into his domain.

"Grandpa, did you go to find the Night Demon?"

As soon as they entered, Yan Bei Han asked impatiently.

"Well... later, you'll send some Divine Essence Metal resources to the Night Demon," Yan Nan said.

"How much?"

"You decide, even a few thousand pounds is fine."

"Good!"

Yan Bei Han was thrilled.

Yan Nan looked at his granddaughter's face and smiled, saying, "Do you know why I called you in to talk?"

Yan Bei Han pondered for a moment and hesitantly said, "Grandpa feels that there's a problem with my Heavenly Jade Flower?"

Yan Nan smiled, "The little girl isn't that stupid."

He walked slowly with his hands behind his back, speaking calmly, "You have ten Heavenly Jade Flowers, and I know what you want to do. I also understand all your little schemes. But today, Grandpa will teach you a lesson."

"Please instruct me, Grandpa."

"Your idea is not wrong, and your approach is also acceptable. However, you overlooked two points. First, you are dealing with women, not men."

Yan Nan slowly said, "Second, you overestimated human nature."

Yan Bei Han lowered her head and followed Yan Nan, pondering over these words.

"At the beginning, when the Cold Demon took one away, you said there were only four, and with one missing, you made the biggest mistake."

"I understand your intentions, so you don't need to explain. But no matter what your intentions were, at that time, it was wrong."

"Fortunately, this matter was brief, and you hadn't had time to distribute the Heavenly Jade Flowers, so there weren't any serious consequences. But as soon as you start distributing the flowers, your loss will be irreversible for life."

Yan Nan said, "And the Heavenly Jade Flowers you bring out later, you'll have an even harder time explaining!"

Yan Bei Han broke out in a cold sweat, saying, "I originally wanted to increase cohesion and boost morale..."

"So, Grandpa understands your intentions, but it's not appropriate."

"Because you are dealing with three proud daughters of heaven."

Yan Nan said, "That's why I gave you the flower in front of them today. Xiao Han, in the future, when you're in such a situation, think more about the bigger picture."

"Yes."

"Yun Yan, Feng Xue, and Xue, these three girls, are your initial foundation. Between them, your little schemes are useless."

"Since you knew from the start, you should have given it earlier!"

Yan Nan said, "Among friends, there is no rank, no hierarchy, and no tests. You need to understand this."

"In a team, the leader is not initially determined. The leader does the most, has the strongest strength, and others owe the leader the most. Therefore, the leader naturally becomes the leader."

"It's not good to hold back, just give it if you want to give."

"As for future matters, let them decide for themselves later, because their identities are as deputy sect leaders, which is different from others. Although your generation is older, you are dealing with close friends, not subordinates, and even less so as a descendant."

"You need to be clear about this."

"According to your original plan, if there was really one flower missing and you gave two to them, what about the other one? Wouldn't she be naturally excluded? You might think you could give her one later to make up for it. But... once you really do that, you won't even have the chance to give her a flower to make up for it later."

Yan Nan sighed gently, "Let's get back to the core issue. She is a prodigy, a woman, someone who wants eternal beauty... but... Xiao Han, the most important thing is a girl's pride."

Yan Bei Han was startled, "Grandfather, you are right. I was being too one-sided."

Yan Nan smiled, "With subordinates, enemies, and sect members, you can do whatever you want. But when you face someone who can stand up to you to some extent..."

"Especially someone who started off on good terms with you."

"I hope you can do one thing in the future. If our positions are different, like when Feng Xue helps Feng Yun, or Chen Xue helps Chen Yin... at that time, you can confront them with a clear conscience."

"What have I done for you? What have I given you? What have I fought for you? How have I treated you? Why are you treating me like this now? How could you do such a thing?!"

"I hope that when you say these words to them, they will be ashamed and speechless, not full of grievances to question you... this is your safeguard for the future!"

Yan Nan said solemnly, "This is... how to be a person."

"Granddaughter understands."

Yan Bei Han was convinced.

"Then, do you know what to do when you get back?" Yan Nan asked with a smile.

"Um, Grandfather gave me a few more Heavenly Jade Flowers!" Yan Bei Han chuckled.

"Smart, go on."

...

Yan Bei Han hurriedly climbed up the small hill, her face beaming with joy.

"What happened? What happened?"

The three girls immediately gathered excitedly, "Just by looking at your face, something good must have happened."

"Whoosh!"

Yan Bei Han set up a soundproof barrier and then said animatedly, "This is great news, Grandfather gave me a few more Heavenly Jade Flowers..."

The three girls: "Wow!"

"But the news is out now, and the entire sect knows about the Heavenly Jade Flowers in the secretRealm, so you three can't delay. Take one each and consume it right away! Otherwise, it might not be safe."

"Wow! Xiao Han, you're the best!"

The three girls were so excited their faces were flushed.

"But I must emphasize one thing... to the outside world, these are all we have! We have already divided them!"

Yan Bei Han's expression turned serious, "This is related to the future development of the Crimson Army! Once we open the door to the outside world... there will be no turning back. So, we must have a unified stance!"

The three girls agreed without hesitation.

"Of course!"

Yan Bei Han took out three flowers and gave one to each of them. They treasured them like precious jewels, "Find a place to adjust and consume it right away. Don't go home..."

"That's definitely not happening!" The three girls' faces lit up.

Go home? With stepmothers and grandmothers, even their own mothers might come to snatch them...

The three girls were crystal clear about this point.

"Another reminder! I still have some, but they are the foundation treasures of our Crimson Army! They must not be leaked out!!"

"Understood! Understood! Understood!"

The three girls nodded like chickens pecking.

Then they laughed, and Bi Yun Yan impulsively hugged Yan Bei Han and kissed her, laughing, "Xiao Han, I love you so much!"

Feng Xue Chen, Xue, and Bi Yun Yan surrounded Yan Bei Han, leaving her covered in kisses.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh! Three crazy girls!"

Yan Bei Han scolded them with a grimace.

Finally, all her worries were put to rest.

The three girls, having received their treasures, were eager and impatient, pulling Yan Bei Han into a giant tent.

They washed, practiced their techniques, and adjusted themselves, all to ensure they were in their best state to consume the Heavenly Jade Flowers.

Thus, the celebration ground of the Incubation Deity Program suddenly lost four beautiful figures.

...

Yinshen Gong lay in bed for almost a whole night and half a day before he began to slowly recover, not daring to use too many pills at once.

Propping himself up to receive visitors.

His mouth was full of phrases like, "Hall Master Duan did this for my own good," "He is only frustrated that I am not strong enough," "It's my own fault..."

Despite his pale face and weak body, he looked proud and dignified.

All around him were envious.

Fang Che, though he understood the situation, was speechless.

Truly impressive.

"Master, you really... suffered in vain. Hall Master Duan was only trying to teach you a lesson, not really intending to kill you. He just wanted to make a point, and you just had to act the part."

Fang Che applied medicine to Yinshen Gong, complaining.

Yinshen Gong, lying back comfortably, said, "Child, I will tell you, as the future leader of a sect, you must understand these things... listen as I explain it to you slowly, these are all experiences..."

Teacher's kindness and disciple's filial piety, both with a bright future.

The visitors, though their positions were higher than the teacher and disciple, could only sigh in envy.

Wu Xiang entered with a frown, "Yinshen Gong, you're still alive?"

"Ah, Wu Xiang, Chief..." Yinshen Gong hurriedly propped himself up to greet him and apologized, "You know me, I didn't mean to... Please, say a few good words for me in front of others..."

"I'd like to kill you myself, and you want me to speak well of you..."

Wu Xiang rolled his eyes, still seething with anger.

Just then, a group of over a hundred people, arranged in a neat formation, arrived at the One Heart Sect.

"We, your subordinates, have come to pay our respects to the Supreme Leader and request to be accepted."

These were the rewards for the One Heart Sect: five Saint Realm, twenty Venerable Realm, and a hundred Sovereign Realm experts had come to report.

As the champion's reward, others might not have been ready, but the champion's reward had to be presented on the spot.

Yinshen Gong was overjoyed, "Please rise, brothers. From now on, we will be like a family, sharing the same pot. I, Yinshen Gong, am shallow in virtue and quick to anger, but in the future, if I offend any of you, I apologize in advance. Let us work together to make the One Heart Sect flourish."

"Yes, Supreme Leader!"

As each person introduced themselves, Mulin Yuan, Qian San Jiang, and Hou Fang's expressions became slightly awkward.

Suddenly, so many people had arrived, and among them, twenty-five were clearly more advanced in cultivation than the three.

A sense of crisis filled the air.

Especially for Qian San Jiang and Hou Fang, who felt particularly apprehensive, as there were several among the Sovereign Realm cultivators whose cultivation surpassed theirs.

Yinshen Gong laughed heartily, his spirits soaring, as he introduced the newcomers to the elders.

"This is the High Priest Mulin Yuan, the Second High Priest Qian San Jiang, and the Third High Priest Hou Fang. All three have accompanied me from humble beginnings, supporting me along the way with unwavering loyalty. From now on, we will be working together."

Mulin Yuan and the other two smiled, "Greetings, fellow colleagues."

The hundred-plus people all bowed in return.

However, a few of the Saint Realm and Venerable Realm cultivators had slightly disdainful expressions, but Mulin Yuan and the others dared not react, smiling and greeting them politely.

"This is my disciple, Night Demon. You should all recognize him by now." Yinshen Gong introduced.

Then, he gave Fang Che a subtle signal, indicating that he didn't want to enforce the rules on the newcomers, but Fang Che should do it instead.

Fang Che understood.

Upon hearing 'Night Demon', the 125 people became solemn, "We pay our respects to the Great Night Demon."

Fang Che spoke indifferently, "I'm not some great person, but from now on, you who have come to the One Heart Sect must follow its rules! Don't think you're still at some headquarters! Especially you few, with your defiant and resentment. What are you doing? Have you eaten shit? Why are your faces so ugly?"

He pointed at Mulin Yuan and the others, saying, "I, Night Demon, am the Supreme Leader's disciple, but also the disciple of the three High Priests, who have shown me great kindness and guidance! What did your expressions just now mean? Who are you showing them to?"

Mulin Yuan and the other two felt a surge of emotions.

Even their eyes were slightly moist.

Then, one of the Saint Realm cultivators spoke up, "Great Night Demon, we respect you for your achievements, but how can we bow to the weak?"

"Do you mean you don't respect my rules?" Fang Che asked sternly.

"It's not that I don't..."

Before the Saint Realm cultivator could finish his sentence, a flash of sword light appeared.

A red dot appeared on his neck.

A gurgling sound came from his throat as he fell backward.

Dead!

Blood Spirit Seven Swords.

In the blink of an eye, the Night Demon had drawn his sword and killed!

The scene was chilling!

Everyone was shocked by this display, their scalps tingling.

Was this a murder?

The hearts of the 124 people raced wildly, their eyes darting between the corpse on the ground and the Night Demon, who was sheathing his sword.

Fang Che spoke coldly, "What's the point of keeping you alive?"

His killing intent exploded, enveloping all 124 people.

With narrowed eyes, he said, "Don't think that just because my master hasn't been strict with you, you can act lawlessly! My master was just being polite in accepting you, but every sect has its rules!"

"Hmm?"

"How dare you show such defiance? Do you think this is your home? How dare you be so disrespectful to the three High Priests! Do you look down on me, Night Demon?"

Fang Che's voice turned harsh, "I thought you were all old hands in the sect, but it seems you need to see someone killed to understand! Have you been so clueless after wandering the sect for so many years? Have you been possessing dogs?"

"Do you want me to kill someone to show you? Do you see it now? Is it pleasing to the eye?"

"Now, kneel down! Pay your respects to my master again! Pay your respects to the three High Priests again! As subordinates, act like subordinates! What are you, a bunch of good-for-nothings! So sloppy, what kind of appearance is this? Do you think the One Heart Sect needs a few idiots like you? Even if we kill all of you, what can you do?"

"Kneel for me! Kneel properly!"
