Chapter 677: Eastern Adventure [Two-in-One]

Dongfang Sanzan furiously said, "I've known about this matter for a long time, but that's the Heavenly Jade Flower of the Only Righteous Sect. How dare you think that we're family with the Only Righteous Sect? Do you think you can have it just because you want it?"

"It's said that many female demigods have recovered and obtained it."

Dongfang Sanjiu replied, "Anyway, we don't care. We don't ask for eternal youth, we just want to restore our appearances, isn't that easy?"

"If it's not difficult, why hasn't it been done in so many years?"

Dongfang Sanzan said, "I already have an idea about this matter. You go back first."

Waving her hand, she was about to send her younger sister away.

"Then tell me your idea first."

Dongfang Sanjiu stubbornly said, "You said the same thing last time. After so many years without any news, this time I came here during your meeting to let everyone see how the renowned Eastern Military Advisor of the world deceives and cheats her own sister!"

"And Xue Fuxiao, you helped him deceive me last time, and you still want to run?"

Xue Fuxiao, feeling wronged, raised her head, "When did I help him deceive you..."

"Do you dare to say you didn't?"

Her threatening gaze silenced Xue Fuxiao, who lowered her head without a word.

Dongfang Sanjiu said, "This time, I really have a way!"

"Then tell me!"

"There are too many people here! It's not good if it spreads."

"Why, are you afraid that if it spreads, you won't be able to do it?" Dongfang Sanjiu coldly smiled.

Dongfang Sanzan sighed and said, "Sanzan, you go back first and wait for me..."

"Don't lie to me!"

Dongfang Sanjiu was obviously being unreasonable.

The people present watched with wide eyes, not daring to speak.

In the past, during the battle between the two sides, the enemy deployed Poison Demons and Corpse Demons, setting up the Celestial Poison Array, covering the land with deadly poison. At a critical moment, the enemy's plan was simple—to destroy the female experts on their side.

Because of this Celestial Poison Array, which was extremely yin and poisonous, to counteract it, one had to rely on the outbreak of Heavenly Yin Energy in a female body to resist it.

It was clear that the enemy intended to force this side to sacrifice numerous female experts. It was common knowledge that a woman's appearance could even affect her combat power.

A disfigured woman, even without any other injuries, would have weaker combat power than she should normally have. Some even disappeared after being disfigured.

It was Dongfang Sanzan who forcefully ordered her own younger sister to be the first to face death.

Dongfang Sanjiu, along with her group of sisters, gathered the Heavenly Yin Energy of women and infused it into their protective spiritual energy. They charged into the poison array, clashing with the domains of the two demons, and managed to turn defeat into victory.

But after that battle, countless beauties were almost all disfigured, their faces scarred and pitted, never to recover.

This matter was a major concern for the higher-ups of the Guardian.

Dongfang Sanzan helplessly said, "You know that the Chess Master is now with us. The Chess Master was once a chosen one, and he has the Celestial Providence Jade Heart. I also knew that after the news of the Heavenly Jade Flower of the Only Righteous Sect spread, you wouldn't be able to hold back your anger. So, a few days ago, I went to find the Chess Master."

"Now, he has agreed to use the Celestial Providence Jade Heart to refine the Scab Removal Eternal Youth Elixir. But he needs other medicinal ingredients; I'm searching for them. And I'm almost done gathering them..."

Dongfang Sanzan said, "I'm not lying to you! But this matter is of great importance, and I'm also considering how to distribute the pills once they're refined... You're forcing me to reveal it in front of everyone, do you know how much trouble it will cause me?"

Dongfang Sanjiu aura radiating, "We're here! We demand an explanation!"

"I'm telling the truth!"

Dongfang Sanzan immediately said to everyone, "This matter... I ask you all to keep it confidential. After all, there are too many people, and the Chess Master's divine gifts have diminished over the years. I'm not sure how many pills I can create. And after they're created, we can't just distribute them casually; there must be rules or qualifications. We can discuss it when the time comes."

Everyone naturally agreed, "Lord Jiu is wise! We will keep this matter confidential."

"Let me be blunt, if this pill is successfully refined, everything will follow the rules. No matter who comes to me, it won't work."

Dongfang Sanzan looked at Dongfang Sanjiu, "That includes you! Do you understand?"

"As long as it's possible!"

Dongfang Sanjiu's expression brightened, and she said, "In that case, I'll go back and tell my sisters to wait."

Dongfang Sanzan hurriedly instructed, "Don't let anyone disturb me!"

"Understood!"

Dongfang Sanjiu laughed heartily, turned, and left, "Rui Qianshan, you wait for me!"

Rui Qianshan's face turned ashen, "Lord Jiu, I... I'll go to guard the Extreme Cold Region..."

"You wait for me!"

Dongfang Sanzan also glared at him.

Someone couldn't hold back and stood up to ask, "Lord Jiu, if this pill is successfully refined, what will be the distribution criteria..."

Dongfang Sanzan replied, "The Chess Master is currently refining it. Whether it succeeds or not, I can't say for sure. There's a 70% chance of success... As for the criteria, if it's successful, it will likely be based on family contribution value and merit value as the measurement. Those who meet the qualifications will receive it. But this matter is not suitable to discuss now. You should understand."

Dongfang Sanzan smiled, "Everyone should be clear about how women value their appearances. If this news spreads, not only will I be affected, but you all will likely face unrest as well.

"Hahaha... That's what the Ninth Lord said."

"Many thanks to the Ninth Lord."

The meeting was disrupted, and everyone's minds were elsewhere. Dongfang Sanzan had no choice but to announce the end of the meeting and reconvene the following day.

After returning to their rooms, everyone felt a surge of excitement.

They were all from prominent families, and every family had either a female ancestor or female successors with exceptional skills. While disfigurement was rare, the desire for eternal youth was all too common!

Now, an opportunity had presented itself...

Although the Ninth Lord asked them not to spread the news, it wasn't a strategic leak, and there was no order to keep it a secret. I'm just bringing good news, and I'm not asking the Ninth Lord for anything. Surely, this should be fine?

But if the news gets out and they don't know about it, wouldn't it cause even more unrest within the families? So...

Those who understand will understand.

Thus, the news of Shouhuo Zhongguo's development of an elixir for eternal youth spread naturally.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Sanzan was deep in thought.

He had specifically asked his sister to put on this act, and it had achieved the desired effect.

It served both as a means of appeasement and encouragement.

Although Dongfang Sanzan was considering the loophole of 'How could someone interrupt Dongfang Sanzan's meeting and demand the Heavenly Jade Flower without any rules?'

However, none of these were of great importance. A single sentence could cover it up, and it was unlikely that anyone would be foolish enough to dwell on such issues...

He was now considering the overall situation and how to move forward.

Fang Che should still have some Heavenly Jade Flowers, so it was likely that a significant amount of the elixir could be produced. But how to utilize these elixirs and mobilize the families' experts...

The issues of qualifications, rewards, and punishments, as well as other lingering problems... could all be resolved in one go. If the family's honor was insufficient and the female ancestor's appearance couldn't be restored, they would naturally fight even harder. Otherwise, the internal family pressure would also push them to take action.

Dongfang Sanzan was extremely satisfied.

Yan Nan and Dongfang Sanzan both possessed the Heavenly Jade Flower, but their approaches to using it were drastically different.

Their goals were the same—to enhance their allies' combat effectiveness.

The difference was that Yan Nan focused on individuals, while Dongfang Sanzan targeted the entire family.

Both would be rewarded, but the distinction was significant.

In Dongfang Sanzan's eyes, no matter whether the Heavenly Jade Flower was exposed or not, he felt that Yan Nan's approach was too simplistic.

Back in his room, Dongfang Sanzan was deep in thought when Rui Qianshan knocked on the door and entered, "Ninth Brother, I need to go out and continue the act of chasing Ding Juoran."

Dongfang Sanzan said, "Wait a moment, there might be other matters I need you to attend to."

"What is it?"

Dongfang Sanzan replied, "It's about the person behind Fang Che."

Rui Qianshan was nonchalant, "Fang Che is doing the right thing. What's the big deal about killing a few people? Those guys obviously have ulterior motives and want to invalidate the Execution Decree."

Dongfang Sanzan glared at Rui Qianshan and said, "I always feel that the Flying Dagger Technique is somewhat familiar. What about you?"

Rui Qianshan was taken aback, "Familiar? How are you familiar with it? You just heard about it and you're already familiar? I even think it's familiar."

Dongfang Sanzan sighed inwardly, wishing Rui Qianshan could grasp the situation and be more insightful, but it was harder than expecting Xue Fuxiao to do so.

His mind always tended to wander down the path of self-degradation.

So Dongfang Sanzan spoke directly, "Do you still remember the Fatal Flying Blade from back then?"

Rui Qianshan's entire body jolted as if a light had been switched on, and he suddenly realized, "Now that you mention it, I feel like I remember it too."

"The Fatal Flying Blade always appeared and disappeared without a trace, never greeting anyone. That person was too mysterious. But it's been thousands of years since then, right?"

Rui Qianshan said, "It's been thousands of years since he last made a move. I wonder if he's still in this world..."

Dongfang Sanzan couldn't help but curse, "You're still in this world, and how much weaker is his cultivation than yours? Why can't he still be alive?"

Rui Qianshan scratched his head, "Ninth Brother, you're right. But I really miss him. Back then, he even saved my life. When I was leading seven or eight heavily injured brothers back, we encountered Sun Wutian's pursuit, and it was him who helped me."

Then he became excited, "Is he still alive?"

Dongfang Sanzan's expression turned solemn, "I really can't be sure if it's him this time."

"The last time the Fatal Flying Blade appeared... he went to the Guardian Headquarters and threw a flying blade in front of me. It was a letter, along with his unique Flying Dagger Technique."

"The letter said that he had been feeling restless lately, fearing an accident. He gifted me his Flying Dagger Technique, leaving it for future generations."

Dongfang Sanzan said, "From start to finish, I never got to see the Fatal Flying Blade or know his name... If it's really him this time, it would be wonderful."

As he spoke these words, his heart felt like it was being torn apart.

Eternal Heroic Soul, Spiritual Friend; Nameless in life, nameless in death! Yet, he accomplished countless heroic deeds!

Dongfang Sanzan composed himself and said, "While you're at it, go to the Heavenly Capital and carefully approach that person to confirm."

"I'll take care of it," said Dongfang Sanzan, taking out a delicate and exquisite flying dagger. "This is the very blade used by the Fatal Flying Blade."

Rui Qianshan took the dagger, his eyes shining with excitement. "Don't worry, Nine Brother. I'll go there right away. I still owe him a drink."

"Your thoughts are understandable, but you must dispel them until we have absolute confirmation. Be cautious on this mission."

Dongfang Sanzan's eyes were solemn as she repeated, "Be careful."

This was a huge risk!

Although Sun Wutian was currently working for the Guardians, the person he hated the most was Rui Qianshan.

What if he took this opportunity to harm Rui Qianshan? Dongfang Sanzan had no confidence in this matter.

Xue Fuxiao had just been there, so he couldn't go again. If he did, it would be like saying there was no silver in the three hundred taels.

Others were not suitable; there was no excuse.

Only Rui Qianshan, who was tasked with capturing Ding Juoran, could make a trip there as a logical extension of his usual method of using people.

Precisely because Rui Qianshan had a grudge against Sun Wutian, Dongfang Sanzan was sending him to show that she had no suspicions in that regard.

Furthermore, Rui Qianshan had a connection with the Fatal Flying Blade, and the life-saving grace was also a reason to send him. This proved that Dongfang Sanzan's wisdom was in line with her decision.

However, if Rui Qianshan, who was hunting down Ding Juoran across the continent to clear his family's name, didn't take this opportunity to investigate the flying dagger, it would be a significant oversight.

So, Dongfang Sanzan considered the situation comprehensively.

But the only one taking a risk was Rui Qianshan. This time, it was a genuine life-and-death crisis!

"Understood," said Dongfang Sanzan gravely. Rui Qianshan's heart also became more serious.

After Rui Qianshan left, Dongfang Sanzan's mind was uneasy. In the end, she sent a message: "Be vigilant of Fang Che in the Capital City."

The reply came: "Fang Che has not yet provoked my underground world. I will keep an eye on him."

"Good," Dongfang Sanzan sighed in relief.

She had a ninety percent certainty that Sun Wutian would not ambush Rui Qianshan, as it involved the Night Demon's spy, Yan Nan's grand plan, and Sun Wutian's martial heart.

But even if there was only a ten percent chance, she couldn't be at ease. After all, it was the Snowblade.

If sacrificing the Night Demon and exposing the spy was the price to save Rui Qianshan, it might not be a bad deal for the other party.

"This time, it's risky..." Dongfang Sanzan furrowed her brows and paced, sending a message to Rui Qianshan: "The Fatal Flying Blade is just our speculation. Don't let your heart be clouded by preconceptions. If you discover something amiss, even if severely injured, fight with all your might to return."

"I understand, Nine Brother," Rui Qianshan replied after receiving the message, finally feeling relieved. Nine Brother had emphasized this matter three times, showing his concern.

So, Rui Qianshan proceeded with caution.

...

The Capital City was flowing with blood, with piles of corpses discovered from various directions, and so far, only less than one-fifth of the city had been rectified.

The Capital City was simply too vast.

Currently, Sun Wutian was in the fifth-rank Huang Clan, carrying out the rectification.

Various records and documents revealed the Huang Clan's numerous misdeeds.

Trampling lives had been their habit for thousands of years.

However, they were a merit clan, and their ancestor, Huang Yangtai, had died in battle on the Northern Border. The clan possessed the Continental Hero Medal.

Now, all the Huang Clan members who should have been executed had been captured.

But the Huang Clan spread a yellow cloth as a signal, and they offered the Continental Hero Medal.

Additionally, several experts from other clans were also watching and trying to mediate.

They hoped that Captain Fang would show mercy and only punish the main culprits.

This was the first significant and organized obstruction since the Capital City's rectification began!

"The Huang Clan is guilty, and their crimes are unforgivable! But they are a merit clan, and their ancestor sacrificed as a hero, leaving behind eternal valor."

The speaker was the head of a fourth-rank clan, his face filled with indignation.

Previously, he had not spoken in such a manner, but as more and more evidence was presented, he began to change his tone to, "The Huang Clan is guilty, and their crimes are unforgivable, but..."

There was only one purpose for this.

That is, to use the ancestor's glory and the Guardian's rules to stop Fang Tu's massacre.

Moreover, there were many people from various clans involved.

They were well aware that if they stopped Fang Tu here and allowed him to handle the situation leniently, their clans would become the continent's major clans.

If Fang Tu's slaughter was not stopped, more and more noble families would suffer. The most sympathetic and reassuring reason was that the Huang Clan's ancestor had died in battle many years ago.

Unlike other clans with living ancestors, who could directly fly back and face the consequences, these ancestors were steadfast in their beliefs, disowning their own kin for the sake of the continent. But the issue was, shouldn't the descendants of such ancestors be allowed to enjoy some benefits?

Looking at the shining Continental Hero Medal before him,

Sun Wutian, disguised as Captain Fang, took a deep breath.

In the face of such a situation, he felt suffocated and wanted to kill them all without any regard.

Just then, a message came from the Five Spirit Toad, sent by Fang Che.

'Captain Fang' secretly scanned with his Divine Sense and immediately understood the situation.

He then coldly said, "You're pleading for mercy with your medals, but do you know the rules of these medals?"

The crowd replied, "This is the Continental Hero Medal, which is the glory of our families. It protects our descendants, and we naturally know this."

Captain Fang flipped his hand and took out a small booklet.

He opened it and read aloud, "It is written here that if the holder of the Continental Hero Medal dies, their descendants will be protected. The Guardian will provide cultivation resources for three generations of descendants, and the family will receive all privileges."

The faces of the various family members lit up.

Yes, even you, Fang Tu, couldn't deny it.

All around, countless onlookers, victims' families, and those seeking justice were as pale as dirt.

Could Captain Fang really let these scoundrels off the hook?

Captain Fang loudly proclaimed, "Protection, three generations of family peace, three generations of descendants, nurtured and supported by the Guardian."

"But it is also clearly stated here that it only applies to three generations. How many generations has your Huang Clan existed? You've already had dozens of generations, doing nothing but causing trouble. How long do you want to feast on your ancestor's glory?"

"The rule only applies to three generations, but you've been feasting for dozens of generations! If a family produces a hero, do you want their glory to be shared by the entire continent? What kind of logic is this?"

"Secondly, it is also clearly stated here that as long as they have not committed any crimes or misdeeds, their descendants shall not be disgraced!"

"Do you understand this condition? You can be inactive, you can be commoners, you can engage in commerce, and you will receive tax discounts and privileges for any legal business. But you insist on killing and robbing? You force others to break their families just because you find them attractive?"

"Even with privileges, it only applies to three generations. What about you?"

Captain Fang held up the booklet and displayed it to the crowd, speaking indifferently, "One ancestor becomes a hero, and dozens of generations benefit. One descendant commits a crime, and only that person needs to be punished while the others are considered innocent."

"What kind of logic is this?"

"When a criminal dies, their descendants are innocent and can be spared. But when a hero emerges, you want to feast for dozens, even hundreds of generations? And it's a feast of trampling lives, a feast of destruction, a feast of chaos!"

Captain Fang laughed, "This hero has a monument, a grave, and eternal reverence. Do you want their descendants, even if they are extremely sinful, to enjoy eternal wealth?"

"What kind of logic is this?"

"Even the descendants of an emperor, after dozens of generations, would be no different from commoners. How can you be so exceptional?"

Captain Fang slowly drew his blade, its light illuminating the world, "The descendants of heroes should cherish their heritage even more. They should strive to become Guardians! But you, you feast on your ancestor's glory and still cause trouble. If I don't punish you, should I let you continue?"

"Step aside!"

Captain Fang let out a long, dragon-like roar, "I'm about to start killing!"

The crowd's faces turned deathly pale, but they did not retreat, "If you dare, kill us first!"

"You think I won't dare! None of your families are clean, which is why you're here today. I'll kill you first, then search your homes! I'll kill without mercy!"

"Seize their properties!"

"Confiscate ninety percent of their assets!"

"Those who dare to resist, kill without hesitation!"

"Take back the Continental Hero Medal and engrave it on the Huang Clan hero's monument. From now on, you shall not claim to be descendants of the continent's heroes!"

"Next family!"

In the early morning,

Sun Wutian returned to the Guardian Hall and met with Fang Che, feeling impressed, "This Celestial Capital is indeed much more complicated than Bai Wu Zhou. Your Execution and Inspection Team identity isn't strong enough."

Fang Che could only sigh, "It's already the strongest method."

"This is nothing. If this were the Only Righteous Sect, who would dare to gather a crowd and use public opinion to pressure the Execution and Inspection Team into inaction? It's absurd."

Sun Wutian felt that the Guardian Zhongguo was too lenient towards the descendants of heroes.
