Chapter 674: Life and Death Decree in Tian Du! [Extra Chapters by Wise Haichen: 27, 28]



In an instant, everyone in the hall stood up solemnly.

The Eastern Military Advisor's Order!

In the Guardian Continent, this was the primary command! Nothing could compare to the Eastern Military Advisor's Order!

"From this day forward, Tianwu City is under strict lockdown. Civilians are free to enter and exit, but martial artists from the Jianghu are permitted to enter but not to leave. Those who attempt to leave will be killed!"

"The Southeast Headquarters' Execution and Inspection Team Captain Fang Che will take over all affairs of the Tianwu City Guard Hall, effective immediately. The Execution and Inspection Team will conduct a thorough investigation and cleanse Tianwu City!"

"For those found guilty, Captain Fang Che has the authority to handle them at his discretion. He has the power of life and death over them, and nothing is off-limits!"

"This decree takes effect immediately and will remain in force until the Execution and Inspection Team's investigation and cleansing are complete!"

Yang Luoyu's voice thundered, reverberating throughout a hundred li in all directions.

Countless people heard this command, and their eyes widened in shock as they saw stars dancing before them.

In their minds, millions of divine beasts roared and galloped past.

I just came to participate in a gambling match, and I lost everything I had. Now, I might even lose my life? I didn't even have time to cry...

Those with a criminal record or a history of wrongdoing felt their hearts pounding with fear.

How...how can I deal with this?

How can I escape from Tianwu City? I'm waiting online, and it's quite urgent...

As for the Tianwu City Guard Hall's Hall Lord Miao Weide, his face turned deathly pale.

He had just offended Fang Tu so severely, and now he would have to work under him? Would he have to rely on Fang Tu for his livelihood from now on?

The faces of the several Deputy Hall Lords beside him turned ashen.

Those who had always been diligent in their duties didn't seem too concerned, but those who had engaged in some minor schemes now felt their hearts in their throats: It's over, it's really over...

After Yang Luoyu finished reading the decree, he shouted, "Captain Fang!"

"Reporting for duty, sir!" Fang Che replied.

"Step forward to receive the orders!"

Fang Che leaped into the air and stood in the sky, facing Yang Luoyu.

"The Tianwu City Execution Decree!"

"The Tianwu City Governor's Control Decree!"

"The Guardian Ultimate Execution Decree!"

"The Guardian Tianwu City Decision Decree!"

Although Fang Che was a Patrol Officer in the Southeast, the Execution and Inspection Team's jurisdiction was not specified, but since Fang Che's assignment was in the Southeast, and Tianwu City belonged to the Central Region, these decree tokens all had the words 'Tianwu City' clearly inscribed on them.

This would prevent any possible disputes.

It could be said that they were very thorough.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the hall, whose faces were ashen, Yang Luoyu handed over the four decree tokens to Fang Che.

Then, he descended gracefully.

Fang Che stood in the sky, holding the five decree tokens, including his own Execution and Inspection Team token, and presented them to the noon sun, causing them to shine with golden light.

Fang Che faced everyone, his body straight, and said calmly, "I, as the Patrol Officer, assure everyone here of one thing: I will do my best not to kill a single innocent person and not let any guilty person go unpunished!"

His face was cold, and strands of killing intent emanated from his body, howling through the air.

His gaze fell upon Miao Weide, the Hall Lord of the Tianwu City Guard Hall, and he said indifferently, "Hall Lord Miao, from this day forward, we will be working together. I hope that you will be smart and cooperate fully!"

Fang Che's words were indeed blunt and unceremonious.

Miao Weide's face alternated between paleness and a sickly green hue as he lowered his head and said, "I will do my utmost to cooperate!"

At this moment, even Yang Luoyu couldn't bear it anymore. He said, "Miao Weide, are you only going to cooperate? Isn't this a matter concerning Tianwu City? What kind of attitude is that!"

Miao Weide hurriedly said, "I will do my very best!"

Dong Changfeng and Yang Luoyu exchanged glances, both sensing that Fang Che's task of cleansing Tianwu City seemed to face significant resistance.

At the very least, the Tianwu City Guard Hall seemed to be a hindrance.

Both of them were super experts, and as their divine senses swept through the hall, they naturally discovered that the people of the Tianwu City Guard Hall had minds that were strongly opposed and unwilling.

Yang Luoyu turned to look at Fang Che and said, "Captain Fang, if there's anything you need help with, just ask."

Fang Che smiled and said, "Thank you, sir. I will not hesitate to seek your assistance."

Then, he descended gracefully and said with a smile, "If there's nothing else, we can leave now."

Just then, Dong Changfeng and Yang Luoyu received a transmission from headquarters, ordering them to return immediately as there was an important matter to entrust to them.

Both of them felt a sense of foreboding: With the two of them gone, wouldn't Fang Che be even more isolated and unsupported here?

They didn't know if his secret helper had arrived or if they could be relied upon.

Dong Changfeng moved closer to Fang Che and transmitted his voice, "If you encounter any difficulties, don't hesitate to ask for help. Don't have any reservations."

"Rest assured, sir," Fang Che replied with a smile, "I guarantee there will be no problems."

Dong Changfeng sighed and patted his shoulder.

"Let's exchange Communication Jade. If anything happens, inform me immediately! I want to see who dares to cause trouble!"

"I'll add you as well," said Yang Luoyu.

Miao Weide stood by the side, his face pale.

He understood that the two super experts were adding Fang Che to their Communication Jade because of his poor attitude, intentionally showing him up!

Otherwise, how could someone like Fang Che be qualified to add their Communication Jade?

Miao Weide could only sigh inwardly, knowing that his impression in the eyes of these two experts was now ruined.

After adding each other, Dong Changfeng glanced at Miao Weide and hummed through his nose.

Holding onto Yang Luoyu, Fang Che soared into the sky.

Fang Che looked at Miao Weide and said calmly, "What's the matter, Hall Master Miao? Are you not going to lead the way back? Do you intend to have a feast here?"

Miao Weide's face turned purple with anger, "Please, Captain Fang!"

But in his heart, he had already cursed Fang Che to the depths of his soul.

A small person's arrogance knows no bounds!

Over there, Tianren Wuyuan's Mountain Chief, Qin Fengyun, said, "Captain Fang, please wait a moment."

Fang Che turned around.

He saw seven people approaching together.

Six of them were standing, while one was seated in a wheelchair, all with smiles on their faces.

Among these people, Fang Che only recognized two of them—Tian Quan Monarch Jiang Shangou and Meng He Jun, whom he had met at Baiyun Wuyuan before.

However, for some reason, he felt a strong sense of familiarity with the other few people he didn't know, and a sudden surge of heartache made it difficult to hold back tears.

Hurriedly, he activated the Boundless Dharma Scripture and unleashed his Crystal Clear Spirit Platform.

He knew that these people must be his brothers from his previous life!

No one else could give him this feeling.

But... Fang Che sighed in his heart.

With a calm expression, he said, "I wonder what teachings you have for me, Mountain Chief Qin and the rest of you?"

Qin Fengyun walked up to him and said with a smile, "Last year, after the battle in Tian Du, you spoke eight words: 'A hothouse flower cannot withstand the wind and rain.' These words served as a great reminder to us at Tianren Wuyuan. Since then, we have changed our teaching strategies. From now on, when our students go on missions and travel the jianghu, as long as they can keep themselves alive, it will be a great favor from Captain Fang. We have yet to properly express our gratitude for your great kindness."

Fang Che replied indifferently, "Mountain Chief Qin, you're too kind. It was just the reckless words of a young and immature person. If you don't mind, I am already very satisfied."

"Captain Fang, you're too kind."

Qin Fengyun said, "I don't know when Captain Fang will have some free time to visit Tianren Wuyuan and give our students a public lecture? This way, you can also teach them a valuable lesson."

Without hesitation, Fang Che shook his head, "I'm not qualified."

"If even Fang Tu isn't qualified, then no one is."

Qin Fengyun spoke sincerely, "Today is a heaven-sent opportunity, but Captain Fang has just taken on a heavy responsibility, and I dare not disturb you. So... please, Captain Fang, agree to this matter and give our students at Tianren Wuyuan some encouragement."

Qin Fengyun's kind face and voice lingered in Fang Che's mind, making it difficult for him to refuse.

Finally, Fang Che said, "In that case, after the cleanup and reorganization of Tian Du City are complete, I'll come to Tianren Wuyuan."

"That's wonderful!"

Qin Fengyun was delighted and said, "At that time, we brothers will definitely toast Captain Fang!"

The students of Tianren Wuyuan, who had heard this news, also cheered loudly!

The news that Fang Tu was coming to give a public lecture was so exciting that it made everyone's hearts race.

When Fang Che heard Qin Fengyun's words, 'We brothers will definitely toast Captain Fang,' a sudden surge of anticipation filled his heart.

He was filled with longing.

With a smile, Fang Che said, "Since Mountain Chief Qin is so sincere, I have breath in our bodies!"

He bowed to the crowd and bid farewell.

Turning around, he led the group from the Tian Du City Guard Hall and strode away.

Qin Fengyun's gaze lingered on Fang Che's back, and a hidden glimmer of excitement flashed in the depths of his eyes. Softly, he said, "Captain Fang, you are indeed a peerless talent!"

Luo Hao said, "Big Brother, this Captain Fang is a really good person."

Everyone silently nodded in agreement.

Although Fang Tu's reputation was awe-inspiring and his notoriety was well-known, the brothers felt that he was a good person upon meeting him for the first time.

"He's indeed a good person."

Qin Fengyun couldn't help but laugh and said, "If he weren't a good person, how could he shoulder such a heavy responsibility? You're all talking nonsense."

Then he said, "Everyone, go back to your tasks. When Captain Fang comes to give the public lecture, I'll call you to attend. It's settled!"

"..."

It was settled, and since Big Brother had made the decision, it was settled.

After all, the brothers could gather once more.

...

Following the order, Fang Tu took over Tian Du City and began a life-and-death cleanup of the city.

In an instant, the entire Tian Du City fell silent.

In all directions, wherever the news reached, silence swiftly descended.

It was as if a dark curtain had enveloped everything, turning it black and spreading rapidly.

Of course, after the mirror, a deafening wave of discussion erupted!

The entire Tian Du City, after the brief silence following the news, became a boiling cauldron.

Gurgling...

Countless gamblers, who had lost all their property and were about to face a devastating disaster, had no time to mourn before this thunderbolt of a command struck.

This... was truly a devastating disaster!

The various families, gangs, and...

The jianghu martial artists...

The thugs and hooligans...

All of them felt the end was near.

Those with connections had already started contacting people from Bai Wu Zhou.

"Hall Master Wu, please show us the way... Please, Hall Master Wu."

"Hall Master Wu..."

"..."

To all who came to inquire, Hall Master Wu Zhi Yun of Bai Wu Zhou's Guard Hall replied with the same words, "It's already too late for self-reflection and self-examination. If you truly want to repent and preserve some of your bloodline power, there's only one path to take.

"Please, Wu Hall Lord, speak frankly. I'll be forever grateful."

"Immediately surrender to Captain Fang."

Wu Zhiyun said.

Suddenly, silence filled the room.

We thought it was a good idea, but you came up with this surrender thing? This is a damn ridiculous idea.

Who doesn't have a dirty ass that can't be wiped clean? If we could surrender, we wouldn't need to ask you for advice.

Some people with connections to the heavens found Zhao Shanhe: "Director Zhao, I have a favor to ask..."

Zhao Shanhe sighed in reply: "There's no use asking me. Fang Che is indeed my subordinate, but I have no control over him. He's in the southeast, and I, as the director, feel like a housekeeper for his family... He takes on all the big and small matters, and every day he helps him wipe his ass. He's constantly being cursed at..."

"..."

The interrogator was stunned by Zhao Shanhe's words, feeling like a heavenly pillar had smashed into his forehead, leaving him speechless for a long time.

Zhao Shanhe's second sentence followed quickly: "Rest assured, for you meritorious families, Fang Che won't drive you to the brink of extinction. Even if you truly commit a heinous crime, Fang Che will, at the very least, give you some face."

A glimmer of hope emerged: "For example?"

"For example... he can leave an infant and a wet nurse for your family, along with some silver."

Zhao Shanhe said.

I'll be damned!

The communication was abruptly cut off on the other end.

What the hell are you talking about? What's the difference between this and extermination? Even demons exterminating families would leave more behind!

In the Celestial Capital, the wandering martial artists from outside were even more anxious.

What should we do?

The Celestial Capital was under strict lockdown, and no one could leave.

I came here to gamble, but now I have to leave my life here? Losing money, everyone was disheartened, and now with the news of the cleanup, they became like bereaved families.

Some people, like walking corpses, were already scouting for their own burial grounds.

But after some thought, they sighed. If they couldn't escape the city, their most likely fate was the mass grave, so it was ridiculous to even consider feng shui...

Countless people were racking their brains.

It was still early, and with the lockdown, it was better to wait until nightfall when everyone could escape under the cover of darkness.

Countless wanderers made up their minds to flee in the evening.

Although the Eastern Military Advisor's Order was clear—those who flee will be killed—staying in the city was an even surer path to death.

This clearly distinguished between good and evil.

Those who usually claimed to be righteous and acted as chivalrous heroes were all sound asleep in the inns, unconcerned.

After all, Fang Tu was slaughtering the bad guys, what did it have to do with them? They were natural battle buddies.

They wanted to stay in case Fang Tu encountered danger and they could lend a hand.

But those who had done great wrong knew the weight of their sins. If they were caught by Fang Tu, it would truly be the end of them.

Should they wait for their heads to be chopped off?

The various brothels and courtesans in the Celestial Capital were also in a panic. They had their own means of communication between brothels and were inquiring about their peers in Bai Wu Zhou.

Then, one by one, their faces turned ashen.

Countless gambling houses had already shut down since the afternoon.

It was clear they were preparing to flee.

Because Fang Tu had never spared such places.

In short, the Celestial Capital had become a chaotic mess.

Time passed slowly...

...

Fang Che arrived at the Guardian Hall of the Celestial Capital.

Along the way, his face remained cold, his expression arrogant and indifferent.

He kept people at a distance.

Those in the Guardian Hall were all nervous.

Upon reaching the hall, Fang Che ordered, "Bring me the case files, all kinds of case files, nearly a hundred years' worth."

Fang Che's command was swift: "Hurry!"

The Guardian Hall immediately sprang into action.

Fang Che spent the afternoon examining the case files in the hall, and then he noticed something strange.

Usually, the darkest place in a city is often the underworld. But... this common rule seemed to be broken in the Celestial Capital.

The underworld in the Celestial Capital was surprisingly well-ordered! There might be some evil, but compared to Dong Hu Bai Xiang and Bai Wu Zhou, it was stronger by hundreds of thousands of times! Fang Che had a feeling: The underworld of the Celestial Capital was even more orderly than the world above!

This could be clearly seen from the case files.

This gray area had little evil!

It was... beyond comprehension.

Fang Che immediately thought of someone: Night Emperor!

The Celestial Capital also had the Night Emperor. Could this Night Emperor be a figure like Si Kong Ye of Dong Hu?

Fang Che had his suspicions.

Such a person couldn't be allowed to be killed by Sun Wutian.

For dinner, the people of the Guardian Hall wanted to welcome Captain Fang, but he refused without mercy!

"From this day forward, I won't eat a single grain of rice or drink a drop of water from the Guardian Hall! I have my own provisions!"

Fang Che's lack of empathy reached its peak.

Facing a sea of resentful eyes, Fang Che had a good reason: "The Execution and Inspection Team has just begun, and wherever they go, it's the same. Before the inspection and cleanup are complete, there's no conclusion about good and evil. I fear being influenced by you all."

The first few sentences sounded reasonable, and everyone understood.

But this last sentence made everyone's faces turn pale with anger.

But he couldn't refute it. Fang Che's concerns were completely valid.

Moreover, who could guarantee that Fang Captain wouldn't die here?

Poisoning was not an uncommon occurrence.

"Stand by, take turns on duty. Each time we deploy, the on-duty team will automatically follow. Those who slack off will be killed without mercy!"

"Anyone who pleads for or colludes with families being purged will be killed without mercy!"

"Those who use the Guardian Hall as a cover to commit illegal acts will be killed without mercy!"

"..."

Fang Captain's expression was blank as he gathered everyone. He slammed thirty-six execution orders on their heads.

Then, Fang Che didn't care about the others' reactions.

He entered his room in the hall.

His work was already done.

The rest was up to Sun Wutian.

As expected, Sun Wutian had already changed his appearance and physique to resemble Fang Che, wearing Fang Che's clothes, and had been waiting in the room for a long time.

Fang Che was stunned for a moment. Tsk, the Ancestor was indeed very proactive.

Upon seeing Fang Che enter, Sun Wutian immediately cast a soundproof barrier and asked, "Is the cloak still there?"

"Yes!"

"Bring it here!"

Sun Wutian put on the cloak while admiring it. "This damn cloak looks amazing. It's top-notch for showing off. Where did you get it made?"

"The Heavenly Craft Shop."

Fang Che chuckled, "The Ancestor can wear it as he pleases. I made two hundred of these cloaks! I still have plenty more. I'll make another batch when I return."

"Tsk... You're never satisfied with showing off."

Sun Wutian complained.

Fang Che stared, "Weren't you the one who kept bringing it up?"

"How does it look?"

"It's chaotic, but the underground world of the Celestial Capital is surprisingly calm. The Night Emperor is doing a good job. I feel that this underground world... just needs a final cleanup."

Fang Che said, "The underground world of the Celestial Capital's Night Emperor is almost a peaceful utopia... If we kill him..."

Sun Wutian shook his head, "How can we kill him? We're not here to be demon lords."

"The Ancestor is right."

Fang Che said.

"We'll start tonight." Fang Che said, "It's the beginning of the Wu hour. We can start at the end of the Wu hour. Now, the Celestial Capital is under strict prohibition, and those outsiders will definitely take advantage of the night to escape, so..."

Sun Wutian let out a maniacal laugh, "So we'll start by killing those trying to escape the city?"

"Not bad!"

Fang Che grimaced, "But the Ancestor's laugh..."

"Oh, oh..." Sun Wutian reacted.

He was now Fang Captain, and he couldn't use that maniacal laugh anymore. So, he laughed, "How's this?"

"Okay."

Fang Che's head was filled with black lines.

"The Ancestor can just do his job. This time, you'll be my substitute, and I'll be your assistant. You go out and do a batch of work, and I'll stay in the hall to prepare the documents for the second batch. When you return to rest, you can immediately go again..."

Fang Che said.

Sun Wutian's eyes lit up, as he was most irritated by paperwork, "Perfect! Just don't get exposed here."

"I'm just a cloud of smoke. I don't even have myself. What else do I need to expose..."

Fang Che chuckled.

Sun Wutian was invigorated, as this was much easier than in Bai Wu Zhou. He only needed to kill, how simple, "Good, you and I will turn this Celestial Capital upside down!"

"Cough, try not to kill too many!"

Fang Che was stunned by Sun Wutian's actions in Bai Wu Zhou.

Sun Wutian couldn't wait any longer. He paced in the room, "Is it almost time? Is it ready? Is it done? Why is time moving so slowly? Damn it!"

"It's ready!"

Before Fang Che could finish speaking, half of his body had already transformed into smoke, and Sun Wutian had stood up, his waist adorned with a long sword, his aura awe-inspiring and murderous as he strode out.

His posture was upright, his face cold, like a dragon and tiger standing tall, a graceful figure.

Soon after, Fang Che heard Sun Wutian issuing orders outside, "Follow me! The operation begins!"

Whoosh! He disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, Miao Weide, the Hall Lord of the Guardian Hall in the Celestial Capital, and Wu Zhiyun, the Hall Lord of the Guardian Hall in Bai Wu Zhou, were in contact.

Wu Zhiyun said, "Hall Lord Miao, is there anything else to pay attention to?"

"Hurry up and organize the paperwork team to record, prepare the financial team to audit, prepare the corpse collection team to clean up the mass grave..."

"The paperwork team should have at least two hundred people, the financial team needs four to five thousand to ten thousand, the corpse collection team should have at least twenty people per team, and each super-large cart should have at least fifty vehicles, and the cleaning team..."

Wu Zhiyun spoke without pause.

Miao Weide's face twisted, "Do we need so many? This... is like a rhythm for a million people's assembly."

"A million people's assembly? Haha..."

Wu Zhiyun laughed coldly, "You really want it simple... Fang Captain sneezes, and a million people die..."

"Hurry up, Hall Lord Miao. Your time is limited."
