Chapter 665: Let Yan Nan's Sun Wutian Come and Work! [Two-in-One]
Chapter 665: Let Yan Nan's Sun Wutian Come and Work! [Two-in-One]
In just an instant, Xue Fuxiao's face turned as dark as the night.
"Hey, can we not bring that up?" Xue Fuxiao's face was grim, and his tone even carried a hint of resentment.
The mighty reputation of my Execution Blade had shaken the world for tens of thousands of years, but now, one of my descendants had become a disgrace. He was so scared by a roar that he ran away in front of everyone on the stage. It was truly embarrassing! And this incident was always brought up, making it hard for him to forget.
Although there weren't many who were qualified to joke about this with him, it was still unacceptable! Not a single one!
But there was no choice; there was someone here who couldn't be provoked...
Only when Dongfang Sanzan was in a good mood would he mention this matter to make Xue Fuxiao feel bad for a moment.
In his opinion, bringing it up often was a loss of face.
But for Xue Fuxiao... well, a little loss was fine.
Seeing that this guy had indeed cracked, Dongfang Sanzan's mood improved, and he didn't make things difficult for him anymore.
"Fang Che participated in the Sect Leader-level Incubation Deity Plan and came back as the first-place winner. He was also appointed as the Sect Leader of the Night Demon Sect. You know about this, right?" Dongfang Sanzan asked.
"I know." Xue Fuxiao, of course, knew about it. He still remembered the glow on Dongfang Sanzan's face and the joy in his eyes when he heard the news.
After countless hardships and endless anticipation, Dongfang Sanzan had finally achieved his wish of having Fang Che become the leader of a subordinate sect!
This meant that Dongfang Sanzan had been pushing Yan Nan all along, and he had maintained 100% control in the strategic realm. Using a seemingly insignificant infiltrator, he slowly turned Yan Nan into a puppet in his hands.
Although it was still far from complete success, he was steadily and calmly pushing towards that goal!
Dongfang Sanzan happily said, "Fang Che sent a message saying he has prepared a huge surprise for me. I need to send someone to retrieve it."
Xue Fuxiao's eyes widened in surprise, "What kind of surprise could possibly be considered a surprise to you?"
"Since Fang Che said so, it must be something we urgently need."
Dongfang Sanzan smiled and said, "I'm very much looking forward to it. In fact, I'm almost eager to know what it is."
Xue Fuxiao proudly said, "Then I'll have to go myself. Others would be like blind men, clueless about anything."
"Yes, you're the only one who can go."
Dongfang Sanzan smiled, his eyes revealing admiration, and said, "I'm growing more and more fond of this kid, Fang Che."
Xue Fuxiao chimed in, "When the time is right in the future, why not adopt him as a godson?"
Xue Fuxiao's words were meant as a joke, but Dongfang Sanzan actually started considering it. "Let's forget about it. It's not that I'm unwilling, but... hehe, don't worry about it."
He hesitated for a long time before giving up on the suggestion because... it might be possible.
Xue Fuxiao was suddenly surprised, "Hey, you're actually considering it seriously! But wait, if Fang Che wants to give you a surprise, how did you find out about this? Yueying wouldn't have passed on such news. Moreover, for safety's sake, we wouldn't add Fang Che's communication jade. This... is a bit strange."
Dongfang Sanzan smiled faintly, filled with mystery, and said, "This kind of thing... I can't explain it to you."
"..."
Xue Fuxiao felt hurt, "It's because you didn't tell me."
"Go and get to work. On this trip, you have a few tasks. First..."
Dongfang Sanzan gave his instructions seriously, "Do you understand? Report any unexpected situations immediately."
Xue Fuxiao once again felt a huge insult to his intelligence.
His face turned red with anger, and he said, "I think you're being too detailed."
"It's better to be detailed; it prevents mistakes."
Dongfang Sanzan said.
Previously, Dongfang Sanzan had not arranged tasks for Xue Fuxiao and the others as meticulously as he did now. The reason he was so detailed in his instructions now was because he had been scared by Yan Nan.
Yan Nan's arrangements for Tianwang Xiao and Sun Wutian were truly terrifying.
Dongfang Sanzan couldn't even imagine how disastrous it would be if a similar mistake occurred on the Guardian's side.
It would be a chaotic disaster!
Regarding matters of wisdom, Dongfang Sanzan only trusted himself. He didn't even trust Yan Nan, let alone Xue Fuxiao!
So now, when arranging tasks, he paid attention to every detail.
Xue Fuxiao felt he couldn't stay any longer, "Then I'll be on my way?"
"Yes, don't forget about the agreement between your Xue family and Fang Che for a battle. Cooperate and make some money. Also, let Fang Che make a move again. Buy some time."
Dongfang Sanzan reminded him.
"Isn't Fang Che in a hurry to establish the Night Demon Sect?"
Xue Fuxiao was a little confused. Wasn't that what you just said? Why are you contradicting yourself now?
Dongfang Sanzan replied calmly, "Of course, he wants to establish the Night Demon Sect, but why should we follow Yan Nan's lead? We must buy time and ensure that the Night Demon doesn't have the time to establish the Night Demon Sect in the short term, making Yan Nan anxious!"
Xue Fuxiao was stunned, "But aren't you also eager for the Night Demon to establish the Night Demon Sect?"
As Fang Che was busy with matters of the Night Demon Sect, Yan Nan was naturally anxious, but why aren't you?"
Dongfang Sanzan said, "Of course I'm anxious. But I know that Yan Nan is anxious, yet he doesn't know that I'm anxious."
Xue Fuxiao was puzzled.
"So, in Yan Nan's eyes, I'm desperately ordering Fang Che to work, not giving him any time to establish the Night Demon Sect. So, of course, he'd be imbalanced and anxious."
Dongfang Sanzan said, "I want him to be imbalanced and secretly proud."
"Tsk... I understood half of what you said."
Xue Fuxiao was a bit dazed.
"You're exaggerating if you understood half of it."
Dongfang Sanzan snorted and said, "But we can't consider the Night Demon Sect. Guardians have their own duties. What's the point of considering the Night Demon Sect? The tighter we arrange Fang Che's work, the less time he has to establish the Night Demon Sect, and the safer he'll be. Understand?"
"But... what if he never has the time?" Xue Fuxiao asked.
"Then the Night Demon Sect would be in vain," Xue Fuxiao realized.
"How could it be in vain?"
Dongfang Sanzan hummed and said, "When Yan Nan gets anxious, won't he start urging Sun Wutian to come and work for us? How else can we send out the Night Demon's replacement? Don't you think Sun Wutian is a capable worker? I want Sun Wutian to work for us. How can we let this opportunity slip away?"
Xue Fuxiao's mouth hung open in astonishment, and after a long while, he exclaimed, "Sanzan... I always knew you were cunning, but I never imagined you'd be this cunning!"
Dongfang Sanzan hummed and said, "Since Sun Wutian has already become a substitute, he's a tool in my hands. Does he still want to return to the Only Righteous Sect? Yan Nan must be crazy. Let him work here honestly from now on."
Xue Fuxiao's face turned black with frustration.
He suddenly felt deep sympathy for Yan Nan.
Yan Wu, Yan Wu, encountering such an opponent as Sanzhan, your ancestors must be spewing black smoke...
You're almost played to death, yet you remain clueless, even cooperating...
"Should I go there now?"
"Go, the sooner the better," Dongfang Sanzan said.
"Why didn't you arrange this earlier? He's been back for many days," Xue Fuxiao couldn't help but retort.
"He just returned, and we're rushing him to fetch things. Isn't that a bit impolite? You should also understand some social etiquette."
"So..." Dongfang Sanzan said.
"So you only gave Fang Che less than a day and night to rest with his family? That's very generous of you."
Xue Fuxiao scoffed.
Feeling the need to save face, he said, "So this brief day and night is your social etiquette?"
A gentle smile appeared on Dongfang Sanzan's face.
"I'll leave immediately!" Xue Fuxiao exclaimed, knowing he was in trouble as soon as he saw that smile.
But it was already too late.
"If you had known that your descendant would be a shit king, what would you have done?"
Dongfang Sanzan said gently, "Since ancient times, the first and only one to open up the world, would you choose to happily accept this coronation?"
Xue Fuxiao fled in embarrassment.
As he walked, he regretted his words.
Why do I always provoke him with my big mouth and argue with him? Is there anyone in this world who can win an argument against Dongfang Sanzan?
I'm so stupid, truly!
Although it was already late, Xue Fuxiao still rushed like the wind and thunder!"
Thinking of Dongfang Sanzan's step-by-step plan for Yan Nan, and how he had been watching and participating in the plan from the beginning to the end, yet he still didn't understand...
He couldn't fathom how they had reached this point.
"Perhaps I was just watching. Did I even participate in this plan? Tsk..."
Xue Fuxiao continued flying in defeat, but soon he became happy again.
"Playing with Yan Nan is fine, as long as I'm not the one being played!"
...
In the evening, Fang Che returned to the Fang Royal Palace, had a comfortable meal, and drank some wine.
He then set up a soundproof barrier.
Three months.
It had been so difficult to endure.
In the midst of the intense battle...
The Five Spirit Toad sent a message, and Yan Beihan had news.
"Night Demon, what are you doing?"
Fang Che was confused.
Your timing is perfect. I'm in the middle of a battle here. But for some reason, Fang Che suddenly felt very enthusiastic.
So he fought even more fiercely, opening up new strategies, using various tactics, and following his heart's desires. The enemy was drenched in sweat, their eyes rolled back, and they begged for mercy multiple times. Finally, unable to withstand the battle, the enemy sounded the retreat.
Fang Che delivered his final, lethal strike with satisfaction.
Then, he calmly took out the communication jade and contacted the Five Spirit Toad.
Very politely, he said, "Yan Lord, well-being. I'm inspecting my territory."
Yan Beihan was delighted and joked, "Oh, is the Sect Leader about to take office?"
Fang Che replied, "Yan Lord, you're joking. I've already taken office."
Yan Beihan smiled and said, "Let's talk business. I'm looking for you because there's something... Well, the infiltration of the White Cloud Palace is almost complete. We're preparing to take action. So, I came to discuss with you whether we should start from the top down, bloom in the center, or take the whole package; there's a heated debate among my three people."
"There's still this matter?"
Fang Che's heart stirred.
Yan Beihan's actions were swift.
Baiyun Palace, since Yan Beihan's actions, had only been a short time, right? And yet, the infiltration was almost complete.
Fang Che pondered and said, "Lady Yan, I have a question I'd like to ask."
"Go ahead."
"How long has the sect been infiltrating these reclusive sects, like Baiyun Palace, before you took over, Lady Yan?"
Fang Che asked.
"It's hard to calculate precisely. Ever since the last time Dongfang Junsi mobilized the Celestial Palace and accurately grasped its location and entrances; the sect has been continuously strengthening its infiltration of the reclusive sects. In fact, even before that, we were constantly working on this aspect."
Yan Beihan replied candidly, "It's been a long time. But one thing is certain—Dongfang Junsi's infiltration of the reclusive sects started much earlier than ours. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to grasp things so precisely every time."
Fang Che nodded silently.
This made sense.
With Yan Nan and Dongfang Sanzan's exceptional talents, how could they possibly ignore these reclusive sects?
"But the Guardian's infiltration is not as thorough as ours; because they use righteous persuasion, while we use bribery."
Yan Beihan spoke bluntly, "Although I despise those who can be bought, it's undeniable that direct bribery is the most effective method. A piece of divine essence, a spatial ring, a piece of divine metal, a genius earth treasure that can help with breakthroughs, ten thousand supreme spirit crystals... When we throw such unreasonable amounts of resources at them, very few people from the reclusive sects, especially our targeted individuals, remain unmoved."
"Especially those with damaged origins and limited lifespans... And often, these people hold high prestige and have great influence within their sects."
"There are also those with average talents, severe injuries that haven't healed, barely clinging to life; or those with strong desires for power and vanity. These are all potential targets."
"The Guardians can only seek like-minded individuals. But even they might be bribed by us."
Yan Beihan sighed softly, "The Guardians' righteous call is indeed their strongest battle cry. However, when it comes to bribing third-party forces, it's also their natural weakness. In this aspect, the Guardians will always fall short."
Fang Che wholeheartedly agreed with the statement about the strongest battle cry and natural weakness.
This statement was truly spot-on. He laughed and said, "So, whenever foreign enemies invade, traitors are especially abundant, and it's inevitable, all because of life-and-death threats and bribes."
"Yes, very few people are unmoved by bribes, and even fewer are willing to face death. So, human weaknesses are our eternal targets."
Yan Beihan agreed, laughing, and continued to analyze the current situation, "Therefore, the infiltration is almost complete. Currently, I'm inclined to split the sect directly from the center, causing a direct division, and ignoring the periphery. Split it directly into three. Then, take those who can be taken, win over the neutral, and expel or release those who lean towards the Guardians."
"Some are undecided, so I came to discuss with you."
After reading this, Fang Che began to think urgently.
His thoughts had only one purpose: how to preserve more of the power needed by the Guardians in the One Righteous Sect's cleansing of the reclusive sects.
But his thought process branched out: the interests of the One Righteous Sect, Yan Beihan's personality, the characteristics of the girls, their moral perspectives, and how to persuade others from Yan Beihan's perspective.
Yan Beihan's stance was clear, but she still sought his advice, indicating that there were old devils in her team who had a say in the operation.
Yan Beihan needed to give them face, which was the main reason she was somewhat undecided.
In other words, Yan Beihan couldn't make unilateral decisions in her team yet!
—Fang Che grasped the key point!
"Lady Yan must have already made up her mind. The reason she came to discuss this with me is just to confirm her decision."
Fang Che first complimented Yan Beihan.
Yan Beihan indeed beamed with joy, "Go on."
"First, I agree with Lady Yan's idea. But in our sect, many find it too biased towards the Guardians. Isn't this just providing strength to the Guardians! You won't get away with it! This is clearly giving strength to the Guardians. They never had a chance to gather Baiyun Palace's people, but now that we've done the work, we're supposed to give the Guardians the benefits? This doesn't feel right. So, they'll definitely be unbalanced and might even doubt Lady Yan's intentions, whether she's being too naive or has been spoiled too much by the Deputy Sect Leader."
Yan Beihan slowly said, "That's right! That's absolutely right!"
The current situation that Yan Beihan was facing was exactly as Fang Che described, and as he spoke, Yan Beihan's mood became somewhat agitated.
"But we're not just subduing them. As one of the major sects in the Reclusive Sect, it's not that easy for the White Cloud Palace to be completely subdued. Even if they agree to submit due to our might or benefits, how much strength can they contribute in the future? If they slack off or shirk their duties, should we really kill them all? If we do, what's the point of subduing them?"
"Therefore, we must divide them and create mortal enemies for them outside. The two most extreme opposing camps in this world are our sect and the Guardians... So..."
Fang Che continued, "Once they join the Guardians, the Guardians will naturally become the mortal enemies of those who submit to us... They may even wish for the Guardians' demise more than we do. As for their combat power..."
The rest of Fang Che's words didn't need to be said.
"I understand," Yan Beihan said immediately.
"They must have mortal enemies, which means they'll face life and death crises. It makes sense. That's what I've been saying, but they still disagree."
Fang Che added, "It's fine if they disagree. We have our follow-up plan, and as I've always said, we'd rather kill them all. We don't even want those who are willing to submit to us. The entire White Cloud Palace is the same. Only when all the members of the White Cloud Palace are dead will they be considered good members."
"But we have to consider... If we kill too many of them, what about the next sect? We aim to subdue all the Reclusive Sects, not just the White Cloud Palace. If we slaughter too much, it's inevitable that the next Reclusive Sect will strongly resist us, and the originally divided factions will unite to oppose us..."
Fang Che carefully said, "This is something we can't ignore. We've discussed this when we were in the Incubation Deity World."
"So, while our sect naturally establishes itself through killing, when it comes to the current issue of the Reclusive Sects, we must prioritize benevolence and persuasion. Benevolence comes first, and force is the last resort."
"Although I want to exterminate them more than anyone else, I must consider Yan's position. Persuasion is a must."
Yan Beihan frowned, "I've said this before..."
"Yan, don't be anxious. This is a combination punch. Third, Yan, your side is, after all, the Crimson Army... And there are more women, so there aren't many bloodthirsty ones. Yan understands and should also consider the actual situation of your team."
"The fourth reason is... The experts accompanying Yan are accustomed to bloodshed. They are used to completing tasks in a certain way, but Yan's current rectification of the Reclusive Sects is actually laying the foundation for yourself. The starting points are vastly different! Once they finish their tasks, they're done, but Yan still has a long way to go. With different goals, the methods naturally differ. Furthermore, the achievements that Yan Fu Zong Jiao Zhu wants to see from Yan aren't about killing too many. Yan definitely understands this in your heart. And this has nothing to do with those who currently oppose you."
As Fang Che kept sending messages, Yan Beihan kept nodding, deep in thought.
With all the groundwork laid, Fang Che delivered the fatal blow, "The fifth and most important point is that as a leader, Yan, you need to make a solemn decision and put an end to the debate. In a team, there must not be two voices! At this time, seniority, face, and relationships must all take a back seat. The only thing to uphold is the power of making solemn decisions!"
"Yan, you've probably been restrained, right?"
Fang Che hinted slyly, "Perhaps it's Yan's elder or a senior in the sect, but this elder doesn't belong to Yan alone, right? I wonder how other young masters, like Feng Yun, address him?"
"If you're being restrained like this... You should know that this is just the second Reclusive Sect to be rectified, and there are more than twenty more to come. How will Yan handle this in the future? Will you continue to waver under their opposition? If this goes on, is this task of rectifying the Reclusive Sects a success or a joke?"
"Is their opposition reasonable, or is it just for the sake of opposing? Or is it to stop something? If it's to stop something, what exactly are they trying to stop? Yan, this is something you can't ignore. There are too many factions in the sect, and people's hearts are unpredictable!"
With the groundwork laid, Fang Che's next words struck a chord!
"!!!"
Yan Beihan felt as if he had been awakened.
It was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head.
Suddenly, he shuddered, and his entire being became clear. He solemnly said, "Night Demon, this time, I truly appreciate it!"
"Yan is too kind. It's my duty."
"When you're done with your business, I estimate that I'll also begin. After it's over, I'll come to find you, thank you, and have a drink of gratitude."
Yan Beihan said solemnly, "Please do come. Your reminder today is extremely important!"
