Chapter 680: The Crying King, Night Emperor
Chapter 680: The Crying King, Night Emperor
Sun Wutian had a different opinion, but Fang Che remained firm.
"Master, the officialdom is like a mountain of bandits... These two places, there will always be more to kill. Kill one batch, and another will emerge. And the emergence of officials is necessary for governing the continent. With power comes corruption. There's no way to eradicate them all."
"The harm caused by the aristocratic martial artists, although they can't be completely eliminated either, requires accumulation. This accumulation takes at least several generations, and they also need to maintain their public image, constantly performing heroic deeds to build their reputation..."
"What we want is the superficial effort of the newly emerging aristocratic families after the cleansing... And martial artists don't become experts overnight..."
"Here, there is leisure, we can reorganize and cleanse; as for the brothels, thugs, and hooligans... These are minor issues, and a ruthless approach can serve as a warning for decades, even centuries... At the very least, they'll have to act secretly..."
"A truly peaceful and prosperous era cannot be achieved through slaughter. All the Guardian needs is the brief period of calm after a major cleansing."
"A truly well-governed era is not that simple... If the world cannot be unified, a well-governed era is just a dream."
"This kind of reorganization is like a person covered in poisonous sores, using the harshest methods to remove the sores. But as long as the person's body remains alive, there will be new sores in the future."
Sun Wutian fell silent.
"The Guardian's current goal is clear—to create a short-lived prosperous peace through immediate cleansing, and then quickly implement new policies to maintain the effects of this cleansing for a longer period."
"But it can never be permanent."
Fang Che understood this point very well: "The Blood Death Patrol's methods can probably only be used once. Moreover, not every peak decision-maker can use them. Dongfang Junshi can, because he is the Eastern Military Advisor; Yan Fuzhengjiao Zhumu can also use it for the same reason."
"But once these two are gone, whether it's the Guardian or the Only Righteous Sect, the next high-level decision-maker will find it difficult to use such harsh methods."
Fang Che hinted: "Now, while our sect is reorganizing the aristocratic families, the Guardian is also re-evaluating them. Moreover, the Guardian has the advantage of the Blood Death Patrol..."
"In this regard, the Guardian is ahead of us."
Fang Che said, "Master, you and the Deputy Sect Leader can casually mention this point during your conversations."
Sun Wutian nodded in agreement, "I will bring it up."
Fang Che smiled.
For Fang Che, he also hoped that the Only Righteous Sect would conduct such a reorganization. Because over there, the corruption was even more severe.
But Fang Che also understood that while Dongfang Sanzan could use such methods, Yan Nan could not.
If Yan Nan were to use them, he might end up killing everyone—the aristocratic families within the Only Righteous Sect, if judged by the Guardian's slaughter standards, would not have a single good person!
With different moral evaluation standards, how could they cleanse?
So, Fang Che was merely expressing his loyalty, nothing more.
The underground world of Celestial Capital.
A grand hall.
The lights shone brightly.
Two people were drinking.
"Old Three, I have to say, you're living the good life."
Wu Daotian took big bites of meat and gulped down his wine, "It's so comfortable. I'm having such a great time here that I don't want to leave."
The man opposite him, Old Three, smiled, "Big Brother, you can stay here for the rest of your life, and I'd be more than happy to have you."
He looked to be in his forties, with a clean-shaven face; his eyebrows carried a hint of sharpness, and his eyes seemed unmoving, giving off a sense of unease.
He was none other than the Night Emperor of Celestial Capital, Ye Wushang.
He was also the third brother of Wu Daotian's sworn brothers.
The Eighteen Heavenly Kings, who once formed a separate force outside the Guardian and the Only Righteous Sect, had only four survivors after being hunted down by the Only Righteous Sect.
Two of them were now sitting here.
This Night Emperor, Ye Wushang, was ranked third among the Eighteen Heavenly Kings, and his nickname among his brothers was: The Crying King.
Because... he cried too much.
"Xue Fuxiao is searching for me all over the world."
Wu Daotian took a sip of wine and said, "You didn't give me away, you're a true brother."
Ye Wushang replied indifferently, "Big Brother has worked hard all his life, and it's not easy to finally live a stable life. I'm not an ungrateful person. Even if I die, I won't betray you."
Wu Daotian chuckled, "You bastard, you've been denying it for months, but I finally got you to admit that you've been recruited by the Guardian."
Ye Wushang smiled bitterly, "I've told you, I haven't been recruited. But I'm the Night Emperor in Celestial Capital, and the Guardian knows and tolerates it without causing me trouble."
"What's the difference from being recruited then?" Wu Daotian muttered.
Ye Wushang was speechless and tried to placate him, "Yes, yes, yes, you're right. Let's drink."
After a cup of wine, Ye Wushang said, "Until now, I've listened to your vague explanations, but I still don't understand how you were discovered by Dongfang Junshi."

Sixth Brother specifically asked me not to tell anyone.
"I haven't seen him, so don't go around making assumptions and speculations. Let go of me!"
Ye Wushang burst into laughter, tears streaming down his face. His voice trembled as he spoke in a low tone, "Sixth Brother... is he still alive?!"
"I don't know!" Wu Daotian's face turned red from the tight grip, "Third Brother, let me go first..."
"No way!"
Ye Wushang roared, his face contorting with excitement, "If you don't tell me, I'll strangle you to death today!"
In his excitement, he referred to his sworn brother, whom he hadn't seen in thousands of years, as his father.
"I'm your big brother!"
Wu Daotian, furious, said, "Third Brother, do you still have any respect for me?"
"Then tell me the truth!"
Ye Wushang said, sobbing as he spoke, "Is it him? Is it Sixth Brother? Is it? Sixth Brother, right? Waaah... Big Brother, please tell me it's him, he's not dead!"
Wu Daotian was almost out of breath, so he could only nod, "Third Brother... Sixth Brother doesn't want to be exposed..."
"Waaaaah..."
Ye Wushang pushed Wu Daotian away, then buried his face in his hands and sobbed loudly on the table, "Waaah, waaah, waaah..."
Wu Daotian quickly cleaned himself up, his clothes soaked in soup, some of it even seeping into his pants. These clothes were beyond repair...
As he wiped himself down, he said irritably, "Stop crying... I swear... you're the Night Emperor... you're so old and still cry, you brat. Look what you've done to my clothes..."
Ye Wushang cried, "I'll cry if I want to. What's it to you? Sixth Brother is alive, that's great! Waaah..."
Wu Daotian was speechless.
He stood up, straightened his clothes, changed into a new set, then turned around to see that Ye Wushang was still sobbing.
He sat down on a chair, his eyes lifeless.
This guy, I knew I shouldn't have told him. He's crying like... if others didn't know better, they'd think he's a crybaby. And Sixth Brother, after all these years apart...
But Sixth Brother asked me not to tell anyone.
If this guy opens his mouth...
Wu Daotian stroked his chin, a little worried.
He didn't even consider that among the eighteen brothers, the one he trusted the least was himself. All the others were as tight-lipped as a bottle.
After learning the news, he not only went to the Sole Righteous Sect to flaunt his prowess but also came to Third Brother, sticking his face out and teasing him for months...
If it weren't for him repeatedly saying things like 'I won't tell you if it's good news' and 'I've met someone you can't imagine,' he'd have never guessed. Ye Wushang wouldn't have figured it out even if he'd smashed his head.
The crying continued.
Wu Daotian picked up Fang Tu's letter and glanced at it.
"I've heard much about the Night Emperor, may I have the honor of meeting you? Fang Che."
It was brief, with only ten characters.
But it was very polite and sincere.
The letter proposed a meeting, leaving the details of when and where entirely up to the Night Emperor.
Perhaps an ordinary person would find it vague, but given the identity and current situation, the sincerity of the letter was evident.
Wu Daotian put the letter aside.
He kicked Ye Wushang, "Will you stop crying? Come on..."
Ye Wushang's emotions were almost spent as he wiped his eyes and said, "What do you know? When I was captured and taken to the underground world, Sixth Brother saved me, enlightened me, and introduced me to my master. I wanted to call him my adoptive father, but my master had a higher status..."
"Later, I wanted to follow Sixth Brother, but my cultivation was too low, and I wasn't qualified. Only after wandering the rivers and lakes for many years did I meet you, Big Brother..."
Ye Wushang sniffled and said, "Actually, you both owe me. If I hadn't been calling Sixth Brother all this time, you'd have to call him Sixth Uncle... We're all juniors in front of Sixth Brother."
"Okay, okay, I get it. I've benefited from you, right? Will you stop crying now?"
Wu Daotian rolled his eyes, "Be good, wipe your face, change your clothes... Ugh... I've had enough. Why are you so fond of crying?"
Ye Wushang wiped his eyes, "I'm happy, I'm happy Sixth Brother is alive. I'll cry if I want to."
"Hmph..." Wu Daotian scolded, "Now that you have someone to back you up, huh?"
"Hehe..."
Ye Wushang's mood stabilized, and he couldn't help but laugh, but he sneezed out a bubble of snot.
His face turned red as he quickly changed clothes, wiped his face, and used his inner energy to dry his tears. Then he coughed, "Big Brother, forgive my rudeness."
"It's fine, I've seen it many times. You cry at the drop of a hat. Speaking of which, all these years, I've found you brides, but none of them can cry like you. Every single one can't cry like you."
"..."
Ye Wushang's heart was filled with joy, almost bursting, and he didn't care about the verbal jabs.
He humphed, fastened his belt, and said, "Where is Sixth Brother?"
"If he's willing to see you, don't you think I'd tell you?"
Wu Daotian said, "I've exposed the news of his survival to you, and I can only imagine how angry Sixth Brother will be!"
"If you go crying in front of him again, Sixth Brother might get furious, and I, Wu Daotian, will truly need you, my brother, to mourn for me.
Buddha Tian was very displeased and scolded, "Stop asking about it!"
"Yes, yes... I won't ask anymore, little brother."
Ye Wushang immediately asked with concern, "How has Sixth Brother been these years?"
"..."
Buddha Tian slumped powerlessly in his chair, not wanting to say another word.
"Did you see Sixth Brother in person, or..." Ye Wushang persisted.
"I didn't see him, it was a soul communication jade."
Buddha Tian sighed, "If I had seen him, it might have been a fake. This soul communication jade is real, right?"
"Yes, yes."
Ye Wushang became excited, "Then what did you two talk about? Let me see how you chatted."
"Get lost!"
Buddha Tian roared.
Then, feeling frustrated, he said, "Why don't you read the letter Fang Tu gave you?"
Ye Wushang's face lit up, "I'll read the message Sixth Brother sent you first."
Buddha Tian's face turned dark, "No way!"
In the end, Buddha Tian gave in. Ye Wushang's relentless persistence had reached a point where there was no other way.
"Big Brother!"
Ye Wushang pointed at a passage above and said with great dissatisfaction, "What do you mean by saying I went to find you and cried like a baby? You're purely ruining my image, right? If you said this to others, I wouldn't care, but you said it to Sixth Brother too. How can I face Sixth Brother in the future?"
"Didn't you cry?"
"I did cry, but you shouldn't have said it, right?"
Ye Wushang felt embarrassed, "I'm somewhat of a figure now, right? Who would talk about me like that?"
Buddha Tian fell silent.
You can complain more after this.
Ye Wushang looked at the sentence above, 'Only you know that I'm still alive,' and couldn't help but feel happy. He said, "Now, two people know."
Buddha Tian glanced at him, "Sixth Brother means don't tell anyone, not even you. You only understood that two people know?"
"Sixth Brother must have his reasons."
Ye Wushang, as a die-hard fan, said, "Don't worry, little brother here would rather die ten thousand times than reveal Sixth Brother's affairs."
Then, he solemnly warned, "Big Brother, you need to be more careful with your words. You're too bad at keeping secrets. If Sixth Brother doesn't want you to tell, why did you tell me? How is this any different from betraying Sixth Brother?"
"Damn it!"
Buddha Tian's anger exploded, "Old Three, is that even human talk?! Who was it just now, crying and threatening to cut their own throat if they didn't get to know? And now you're blaming me?"
"But you shouldn't have said it either."
Ye Wushang, feeling righteous, said, "You've really betrayed Sixth Brother's trust! What if I had other intentions? Wouldn't Sixth Brother be in danger?"
Buddha Tian's face darkened, "Fine, you're right. Anyway, if Sixth Brother contacts me again, I won't let you know. I definitely won't bring you along to meet him! You just keep the secret."
Ye Wushang was stunned, "Big Brother, you wouldn't do that. When meeting Sixth Brother, you won't bring me? How can you do that?"
"If I bring you, wouldn't I be selling out Sixth Brother again?"
Buddha Tian smirked, "And then get scolded by you again? Old Three, you're really something!"
Ye Wushang thought for a moment and said, "Then we really can't tell anyone else!"
"..."
Buddha Tian felt like he was already on the verge of a breakdown.
Only then did Ye Wushang have time to pick up Fang Che's letter. He flicked it with his finger and smiled, "Fang Tu's invitation, we can't refuse. Big Brother, are you interested? Let's go and see this Fang Tu together."
Buddha Tian sighed, "I have no interest in anything now. Your crying has dampened my enthusiasm."
"Come with me."
Ye Wushang said, "From this letter, we know Fang Tu has no ill intentions. If he really wanted to clean up the underground world, he would have charged in and started killing. Since he's inviting us for a drink, I'll make the arrangements."
"It's good to go and see."
Buddha Tian teased, "What if you cry in front of Fang Tu? It would be embarrassing for the entire underground world... I'll go and keep an eye on you."
Ye Wushang hummed and said with his hands behind his back, "It's only in front of you. Even if the news is bigger than this, I wouldn't... lose my composure in front of others."
Buddha Tian chuckled, "Lose composure... tsk, you make it sound so elegant. Crying is crying, don't say it's losing composure."
Ye Wushang fell silent.
Pouting, he looked like a wronged little wife. He picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the letter.
"Human Moon Tower, tomorrow evening at the end of Youshi, a banquet will be held for Team Leader Fang. Hope Team Leader Fang will grace us with his presence."
Signed: Underground Leaf.
He asked Buddha Tian, "Well?"
"If it wasn't for the pouting, it would have been even more powerful," Buddha Tian said.
Ye Wushang rolled his eyes, then folded the letter and shouted, "Someone! Deliver this letter to Execution and Inspection Team Leader Fang!"
His demeanor was solemn and majestic, befitting a ruler.
...
Fang Che soon received a reply.
"Tomorrow evening?"
