Chapter 654: The Sharp Confrontation [Part 2]

Chapter 654: The Sharp Confrontation [Part 2]



The sudden eruption of the Great Night Demon not only terrified the 124 people, but also sent shivers down the spines of the onlookers. Their hearts raced, and their eyes widened in fear.

This incident further reinforced the perception of the Great Night Demon's brutality.

The people sent by the headquarters had barely arrived before one of them was slaughtered! This deeply moved Mulin Yuan and his two companions. After the Great Night Demon's display, their positions within the sect were essentially secured.

This was the Great Night Demon's way of protecting them.

However, Yinshen Gong was left dumbfounded. Although he had hoped that the Great Night Demon would help establish his authority, he swore to the heavens, "I didn't ask you to kill anyone, Great Night Demon!"

But now, one of them had fallen with a single slap. What was going on? Yet, the Great Night Demon had already acted, and the effect was exceptionally impressive!

Yinshen Gong could only endure it. Moreover, he knew that this was the best outcome, and managing them in the future would be much easier.

The 124 people, under Fang Che's killing intent, all felt the fear of death.

Although the incident had occurred suddenly, the fact that a Sage had been killed without a chance to react was not just a matter of being caught off guard. What level of combat power was required for this? Everyone knew the answer.

Under the chilling killing intent, and with the headquarters' assignment, it was already a given that these were people from the One Heart Sect.

The 124 people knelt down in unison, prostrating themselves: "We pay our respects to the Lord!"

This time, their voices were loud and uniform, and they knelt with perfect discipline, adhering to the regulations.

Prostrating themselves.

Yinshen Gong put on an expression of helplessness and smiled, saying, "From now on, we are all one family. The Great Night Demon has such a temper, and I've spoiled him. Brothers, please rise. We will discuss specific assignments when we return to the One Heart Sect."

The 124 people stood up obediently and bowed deeply to Mulin Yuan and his companions: "We pay our respects to the Three High Priests..."

Mulin Yuan and the others smiled and said, "We dare not accept such a title. From now on, let's work together to assist the Lord..."

Then, the more than 100 people turned to face Fang Che.

"We pay our respects to the Great Night Demon."

Fang Che hummed and said to Yinshen Gong, "Master, you are too kind. When dealing with these killers, you must kill! Kill them all and recruit a new batch. If they don't listen, kill them again! I don't believe there won't be obedient ones. You are too soft-hearted, and I, as your disciple, cannot agree with this."

Yinshen Gong's face darkened as he scolded, "Nonsense! You're more of a killer than anyone else, and you have the audacity to criticize others. To create a great sect, we cannot rely solely on slaughter!"

"But I feel..."

"Feel what!" Yinshen Gong rebuked sharply, "Get out of here!"

"Yes, I obey, Master."

Fang Che's fierce gaze swept over the 124 people, and he hummed, "Stand up. The fact that you are following my master means you must have burned high-quality incense in your previous life... Otherwise, if they were my subordinates..." He trailed off with a hum.

Then, he turned to Mulin Yuan and said, "Grandmaster, the headquarters assigned five Saints to us, but now there are only four. One is missing. Please ask when they will be replaced, or else the headquarters will lose face. Tell them I asked you to inquire."

Mulin Yuan let out a bitter laugh, "Alright."

He turned and left.

The others watched silently, not daring to speak.

One missing? How did one go missing? Could it be that you, the Great Night Demon, didn't notice?

If you had followed your temper, there might have been 125 fewer people! Are you going to ask for more?

Not long after, Mulin Yuan returned, looking shocked. "The headquarters said they will replace him immediately."

Fang Che nodded.

He extended his finger and pointed, "When you arrive at the One Heart Sect, you must show respect to my master and honor the Three High Priests!"

Suddenly, a loud roar filled with raging killing intent and overwhelming killing aura erupted: "Do you understand?!"

Below, the 124 people stood tall and shouted in unison, "Yes!"

There were a few more voices, and among the onlookers, a few people involuntarily responded to the Great Night Demon's imposing manner.

"Hmph!"

Fang Che turned and respectfully bowed, "Master, I will go over there to discuss with a few of my subordinates. Please grant me permission."

Yinshen Gong smiled with relief, "Go ahead."

Fang Che turned around, his eyes filled with killing intent as they swept across the faces of the more than 100 people. Then, he turned and his cloak suddenly floated up.

Like a piece of dark mist, it rose in front of the more than 100 people, blocking their vision.

Everything turned pitch black.

Fang Che turned and left, his body radiating a chilling killing intent.

The 124 people remained silent, not daring to make a sound.

This was the Great Night Demon who had slaughtered thousands of future Lords in the Lord's Incubation Deity Program!

One person had killed over 6,000 potential Lords. In his eyes, what were the lives of these 100 people? If he was in a bad mood, he might kill them all, and no one would dare to object.

Looking at the Sage lying on the ground,

No one could even think of feeling sorry for them, only feeling infinitely fortunate.

Fortunately... the one used by the Great Night Demon to set an example wasn't me!

Yinshen Gong spoke calmly, "Everyone, take a rest."

After Fang Che's actions, Yinshen Gong's excitement about the sudden appearance of five Saints, twenty Venerables, and a hundred Monarchs had cooled down.

Instantly, the Lord's dignity was restored.

They were just subordinates, and there was no need to be so excited. Anyone could be killed.

Just like that corpse.

Then, Mulin Yuan and the other two began their discussion.

"Lord, this child, Night Demon, is truly exceptional."

Mulin Yuan couldn't help but praise, saying, "Moreover, we already have the scale, the capability, and the prestige."

Yinshen Gong sighed and said, "Yes, so Night Demon's appointment will likely be announced within these few days. Once it's announced, he won't be considered a member of the One Heart Sect anymore."

"But Night Demon will always be your disciple!"

Mulin Yuan said, "Night Demon immediately saw the problems that would arise after these people arrived and directly helped you solve them. Although his methods were ruthless, as long as you, Lord, can keep up with his capabilities, from now on, it will be a peaceful journey."

"Night Demon is doing all this for you."

Yinshen Gong expressed his distress, saying, "I don't worry about him, but you, old man, think that I'm jealous of my disciple. Now, Night Demon is already stronger than me, and he's still protecting me. How can I not know? It's just that I'm reluctant."

Qian San Jiang laughed and said, "What's there to be reluctant about? Night Demon, wherever he goes, is still your disciple. With a single call, he can traverse mountains and rivers without issue. Moreover, with the Five Spirit Toad communicating with him daily, what's there to worry about?"

Yinshen Gong touched his nose and smiled, saying, "What you said also makes sense."

In the afternoon, the banquet began.

The appointment of the Value Hall was announced, marking the end of the teaching session. The distribution of the teaching materials would start slowly during the banquet the next evening.

The reason for staying here for a few days of banquets was to wait for this exciting moment.

Additionally, the families of those who died inside came to collect their belongings to build a memorial tomb.

Already, several hundred families had arrived, and the atmosphere was filled with sorrow.

Everyone was secretly inquiring about the identities of those who came out and who were the top killers.

Yinshen Gong sent a message to Fang Che, "Regardless, for these few days, you can only stay within the banquet venue and are not allowed to step outside! The venue is still part of the Incubation Deity Program, and no one dares to make a move! But once you leave this area, it's uncertain."

Fang Che suddenly realized, no wonder there were people everywhere outside, but surprisingly, not a single person left and everyone remained at the banquet.

But even here, there were still people from various families and forces who came to observe from a distance, watching those at the front who had killed the most.

The number of people killed by someone was not a secret.

Each family that had lost a member could obtain a list of 'killers'.

"Do you see those people pointing fingers outside?"

Yinshen Gong calmly taught Fang Che, "In the future, be cautious of assassinations."

"Disciple understands."

Fang Che said, "Didn't the Deputy Sect Leader explicitly forbid retaliation?"

"No one is retaliating."

Yinshen Gong said, "But when someone dies in the jianghu, who knows who did it? It must have been the Guardian, right?"

"Master's words make sense."

Fang Che nodded in agreement.

"So, after each Lord-level Incubation Deity Program, the small sect leaders who gradually leave are often eliminated by the Guardian, and there are truly many of them..."

Yinshen Gong spoke with deep meaning.

"Disciple understands, the Guardian is indeed formidable."

Fang Che said.

"So, after your appointment is announced, you should first return to your appointed place, draw a random mountain, and establish a headquarters."

Yinshen Gong transmitted, "Then, after some time, reveal some flaws, attract the Guardian to attack, and report that the headquarters has been destroyed. Then, choose another headquarters yourself, and don't choose just one place; it's best to establish two to three headquarters..."

"The more, the better."

"This way, always be prepared to evacuate the current headquarters, like a cicada shedding its shell. After the new headquarters is secure, immediately start establishing another in a hidden location... No matter what, always ensure a backup plan!"

Yinshen Gong transmitted his instructions word by word, "Child, this is one of the few experiences I can offer you, and you must remember it and do it well. This is a matter that truly concerns the life and death of the entire sect. Before your sect rises to a second-level sect and has a solid foundation at the headquarters, you must achieve this!"

"Disciple understands!"

Fang Che gratefully said, "Master, thank you. You truly care for your child."

Yin Gong sighed, "I only have you as my disciple, and if I don't care for you, who will? When you spread your wings and fly out, how can your master not watch over you? No matter what, I'll still teach you how to fly more steadily. In the future, if you encounter any difficulties and are unsure, remember to come and ask me quickly. Although my combat power is not as strong as yours now, after experiencing the ups and downs of the jianghu, I still have some experience to share."

Fang Che chuckled and transmitted, "Master, don't worry. Even if I become a sect leader, I will still be under your leadership in the southeast... Plus, I still need your guidance for my informant mission. Look at your face since you knew I was leaving; my heart truly aches."

"Really?"

Yinshen Gong exclaimed with joy, then suddenly blushed and flew into a rage, "Who's worried about you? Who's face turned sour? It's better if you leave! The further, the better! This old man has long disliked you! There's nothing to be reluctant about!"

"Hehe... Master, you're right. Everything you say is correct!"

Fang Che chuckled.

Yinshen Gong, infuriated and embarrassed, let out a tirade before finally saying, "Is there news? Where is it?"

Fang Che transmitted his voice, "It's better to have a name chosen by the master. Night Demon Sect, with Night Demon as the Supreme Leader."

"Hahahaha..."

The entire venue buzzed with whispers.

Despite the large crowd, there was no loud discussion. Everyone spoke in hushed tones.

It was as if a group of silkworms were munching on mulberry leaves.

In this serene environment, everyone was suddenly startled and turned to look.

Because... the Supreme Leader of the One Heart Sect, Yinshen Gong, suddenly raised his head and burst into laughter towards the sky, filled with joy and unable to contain himself.

Everyone couldn't help but spit and rolled their eyes, cursing, "What a temperament!"

"He's gone crazy with happiness..."

"Laughing without regard for the occasion, like a seal."

"I can't stand such an unstable person!"

After a few curses, they turned back to their own conversations.

Yinshen Gong, lost in laughter, finally came to his senses, hurriedly stopping and holding back, his face turning red. He coughed a few times, took a few sips of water, and then slapped the back of Mulin Yuan, who was sitting next to him, with a loud slap, creating a loud noise, "Wonderful!"

Mulin Yuan, startled by the slap, sprayed his wine onto the table and then collapsed onto a fishbowl, dazed, "Supreme Leader?"

"It's nothing, nothing."

Yinshen Gong laughed and personally helped him up, wiping him off, "I know you love to eat fish..."

"..."

Mulin Yuan was speechless. When did you hear that I love to eat fish? He forced a laugh, "Yes, I love fish the most. This fish is delicious."

Yinshen Gong had no time to chat and had already turned back to talk to Fang Che.

Belonging to the Southeast Region and with Night Demon's casual choice of location, the old Yin was overjoyed. He felt the joy of regaining a lost disciple.

Mulin Yuan had no choice but to open his mouth and eat the entire fish...

Throughout the process, the master and disciple chatted, but Fang Che could clearly sense that strange divine perceptions were constantly swirling around him, memorizing his appearance.

Someone even circled behind him, then moved to the side, examining him from various angles.

Fang Che smirked inwardly and lifted his face proudly, allowing everyone observing him to see his features clearly.

Come on!

I won't be able to kill you, but Sun Wutian will. If Sun Wutian can't finish you off, then the Guardian will!

Dare to target our Supreme Leader, and I'll see how many of you will die!

Mo Wang and his five companions sat at a table nearby, silently drinking.

They kept a low profile, never raising their heads.

But they were constantly communicating through sound transmission.

"What do you think of our Supreme Leader?"

"He's much stronger than his master! Hehe."

"With his thunderous tactics, a single sword can eliminate all dissent! Tsk tsk, what a force. I'm in awe, prostrating myself!"

"The Supreme Leader is very dominant."

Mo Wang said, "As the Supreme Leader, if you're not dominant, who knows what the future holds? But one thing is certain: you'll never be bullied!"

"Of course."

Feng Wanxia spoke calmly, "But following such a Supreme Leader also means facing trials and tribulations. So, those who fear death, should leave quickly."

No one spoke up.

Everyone considered themselves brave and not afraid of death.

Feng Wanxia glanced at Long Yi Kong's face and continued calmly, "Following such a Supreme Leader, strict rules are also certain. I advise those who don't watch their words and have foul mouths to leave voluntarily. Otherwise, being killed by the Supreme Leader's rules would be truly unwise."

Long Yi Kong, enraged, asked, "Who are you talking about?"

"Hehe, you know who it is. Who's getting angry?"

Feng Wanxia held her wine cup, her graceful figure downing it in one go. She raised her eyebrows and said, "With a foul mouth like yours, you dare to ask who I'm talking about."

Ma Qianli and the others silently drank their wine.

Here we go again.

Feng Wanxia didn't know why Long Yi Kong rubbed her the wrong way, but conflicts had already erupted over ten times this afternoon.

Long Yi Kong, furious, said, "I just compared you to Feng Wanxia, and you're making such a big deal out of it?"

Mo Wang sighed and drank from his cup.

Long Yi Kong, indignant, said, "Old Mo, you're the oldest, why don't you advise this crazy woman?"

"Advise?"

Mo Wang twisted his face, "Feng Wanxia not killing you is already giving face to our Supreme Leader."

"You compared Feng Wanxia to a prostitute, and you're still so brazen to say it was just a single comparison.

For a woman, just this once... will ensure she'll never forget you in this life!"

Mo Wang emphasized, "And it's a hatred that will be remembered forever!"

Ma Qianli and the other two men, heads lowered, holding their wine cups, shook with laughter.

They remained silent, but the same feeling was that... from now on, with such a Supreme Leader and such colleagues, it seemed... loneliness would be a thing of the past.

Just then, a long whistle filled with anger and sorrow sounded.

A figure appeared in mid-air.

Everyone looked up simultaneously.

A man in Qingyi attire, with a middle-aged face, appeared at the banquet.

Some people's faces immediately showed surprise.

"The Head of the Wang Family, why have you come in person?"

The 'Head of the Wang Family' had a hint of sorrow and anger on his face, but he still forcefully suppressed it, and said calmly, "Three of my Wang Family's descendants entered the Incubation Deity Program, and none of them have come out. Today, I took this opportunity to come and pay my respects to the victorious ones. I would like to offer a cup of wine to celebrate."

Everyone fell silent.

The Head of the Wang Family smiled, picked up a cup of wine from the table in front of him, and smiled as he toasted with the top few participants of the Incubation Deity Program one by one, saying, "Congratulations, congratulations, your future is boundless."

Finally, he came to Fang Che with a cup of wine, and said calmly, "Great Night Demon, congratulations on your exclusive dominance once again! I am Wang Fufeng, and I would like to offer my congratulations to the Great Night Demon. May your future be as bright as brocade, and may you have smooth sailing."

Fang Che quickly stood up, raised his cup, and laughed heartily, saying sincerely, "The Head of the Wang Family is too kind. Thank you for your blessings. I, the Night Demon, am deeply grateful. Let's drink to that."

He tilted his head back and downed the cup of wine.

Unexpectedly, he was very cheerful and showed the bottom of his cup, indicating that he had finished drinking, and said happily, "Head of the Wang Family, please."

"I don't often get to drink such good wine in my lifetime, and the Great Night Demon should cherish it."

Wang Fufeng's eyes fixed on Fang Che's face, and he smiled faintly, draining his cup.

Then, he refilled his cup and said word by word, "This cup is to thank the Great Night Demon for taking care of my Wang Family's descendants in the Incubation Deity World. Your great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten."

Fang Che laughed, his face glowing with happiness, and he also refilled his cup, raised it, and said with emotion, "Speaking of the battles in the Incubation Deity World, I can't help but feel emotional. Those battles, those fallen bodies, those dying wails, it's as if they're still before my eyes. Head of the Wang Family, you're too kind. I and your three descendants are both under the command of our Divine Sect, and we are fellow warriors. It's only right to take care of each other, isn't it? Head of the Wang Family, you're being too polite, and I, as a junior, feel a little guilty. Head of the Wang Family, please! Please, let's drink!"

He tilted his head back and drained the cup again.

Everyone who heard the two men speak was stunned.

These two men... they were truly graceful and well-mannered.

Wang Fufeng's eyes narrowed, shooting out a sharp light like a needle, and he said, "The Great Night Demon is open-minded. Our mountains may not move, but the waters will."

Then he finished his drink and was about to leave.

But Fang Che stopped him, smiling and saying, "Head of the Wang Family, have you taken care of the belongings of your three descendants?"

Wang Fufeng took a deep breath, "Does the Great Night Demon have any more teachings?"

"Actually, a memorial tomb is quite good."

Fang Che spoke sincerely, "At least, it's complete."

Wang Fufeng fell silent, staring intently at Fang Che and clenching his fists tightly.

Fang Che was not the least bit afraid, meeting the Head of the Wang Family's eyes, and said calmly, "Actually, this is also good. After all, the Head of the Wang Family can't enter the Incubation Deity World, so he can't clean up the bodies."

Wang Fufeng's face turned red with anger, but Fang Che quickly continued, "Actually, it's better not to enter. Because even if you go in, you can't gather the remains, they're all scattered and broken. Even if you see them, it will only add to the sorrow."

Fang Che smiled, "Head of the Wang Family, you say so?"

Wang Fufeng's eyes were bloodshot, and the cup in his hand shattered silently.

He said word by word, "The Great Night Demon's eloquence is indeed impressive. Your words have left me in awe. I hope that in the future, the Great Night Demon's eloquence will remain as it is."

"Of course," Fang Che smiled, "I will try my best to take care of the Wang Family's descendants. Head of the Wang Family, you don't need to thank me. This is all fate."

"Yes, this is all fate," Wang Fufeng laughed harshly.

"The Head of the Wang Family is right, it's worth another drink. Come, come... Hey, Head of the Wang Family, why is your cup broken?"

Fang Che puzzled, said, "Head of the Wang Family, be careful. The broken cup is very sharp, you're fine here, but if it breaks at home, a child might fall and get stabbed to death. Head of the Wang Family, it's not easy to raise descendants. It's better to be careful in the future."

As he spoke, he finished his drink and showed the bottom of the cup, "Head of the Wang Family, this wine is truly excellent. As a fellow warrior, I feel I should drink a cup for your three deceased descendants, after all, they can never drink again."

Wang Fufeng could no longer maintain his smile, his face turning dark, "Then I won't trouble the Great Night Demon. We'll meet again!"

He glared at Fang Che, turned, and left, his sleeves fluttering, instantly reaching the outside of the venue.

Even if he was a master swordsman, he wouldn't dare to make a move here.

He had wanted to vent his anger, but instead, he almost exploded with rage.

"Head of the Wang Family! Take your time. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Fang Che called out behind him, "The people are dead, and even their bones are gone. There's no need to worry about the remains rotting and stinking up the family's reputation, it's just a few pieces of clothing, whether buried early or late, it's the same, why the rush?"

"Let's sit down, open our hearts, and enjoy the wine together. Let's get drunk and chat about the fierce battles in the Incubation Deity World, and toast to this colorful and wonderful mortal realm. Isn't this a wonderful thing?!"
