Chapter 693: No Regrets in This Life!
Chapter 693: No Regrets in This Life!
Fang Che laughed, "How could I not remember? To be honest, although we did it that way, even we didn't expect that things would actually go that far."
"Yes, the Supreme Leader at that time definitely didn't expect it either. The once-glorious Night Demon Sect in the southeast suddenly fell so easily."
Mu Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh, "It can only be said that fate had it this way. This place was originally Night Demon's, and the Night Demon Sect should also belong to Night Demon, not Hai Wu Liang."
"Hai Wu Liang doesn't deserve it!"
Mu Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "As for this canyon, there's a legend about it... or you could say it's a fact."
"Oh?" Fang Che showed great interest. "Since we have nothing better to do, tell us about it."
Mu Lin Yuan laughed heartily, "It is said that back then, after Hai Wu Liang realized he couldn't turn the situation around, he poisoned all the water sources in the headquarters and waited here to intercept every member of the sect. As a result, not a single person who was in the Night Demon Sect headquarters at that time managed to escape. Tens of thousands of people died in this valley."
"Including sect members, family members, men, women, old, and young... not a single one was spared, not even... a single dog."
Mu Lin Yuan sighed softly.
"Hai Wu Liang was indeed ruthless."
Mo Wang couldn't help but sigh, "Knowing that he was finished, he destroyed everything he had built! Hai Wu Liang truly lived up to his name, 'Wu Liang' (No Good), as he had no conscience at all."
"He was the leader of the Night Demon Sect. How could someone with a conscience lead the Night Demon Sect?"
Long Yi Kong burst into laughter.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that the gazes of the crowd looking at him were not right.
Mo Wang and the others stared at him in shock, silently creating distance between them.
It seemed like they were afraid that his blood would splash onto them.
Long Yi Kong suddenly realized what he had just said and trembled all over, his face turning pale. "Supreme Leader, I didn't mean it..."
Fang Che spoke calmly, "I'm not angry with you. It was an unintentional slip, why would I be angry?"
Long Yi Kong was overjoyed, as if granted a pardon, "Thank you, Supreme Leader!"
Fang Che rolled his eyes, "However, this is already the Night Demon Sect headquarters, and we still need to clean it up. In a while, Yi Kong, you will clean up our base. If there's even a bit of snow left on this entire mountain, you'll be cleaning outhouses for as long as the Night Demon Sect exists!"
"Pfft!"
The other five people laughed, enjoying Long Yi Kong's misfortune.
Long Yi Kong's face turned bitter, "Yes, I'll obey."
"No one is allowed to help him!" Fang Che declared.
"Yes, Supreme Leader."
Feng Wan Xia couldn't contain her schadenfreude and leaned closer to Long Yi Kong, "This is the benefit of having a loose tongue. If you're not careful with your words, you might just blurt out something inappropriate. You think this is your home? Tsk!"
Long Yi Kong's situation was a self-inflicted disaster. He sighed and frowned, unable to even muster the mood for a verbal spar.
An entire mountain covered in snow, and it was still snowing.
This was a death sentence.
After taking a look at the original site of the Night Demon Sect, Fang Che was quite satisfied.
Although the Guardians had already scavenged everything, they surprisingly found some traces of previous habitation.
It seemed that after the Night Demon Sect's destruction, these ruins remained; during this time, occasionally some martial artists would come here to take shelter from the rain, avoid enemies, or escape from pursuers.
Mo Wang wandered around.
Due to the Supreme Leader's premonition, Mo Wang's mind was also unsettled. His body floated, and he was extremely cautious, checking every corner of the place, but he found nothing.
"Supreme Leader, there should be hot springs underneath."
"And these wells should all be usable."
"Even if they were once poisoned, the water should no longer be toxic."
"Supreme Leader, do we need to rebuild?"
Fang Che looked at the vast ruins in the heavy snow and waved his hand with a smile, "We don't need to rebuild."
"Leaving these ruins here is a natural cover."
"We'll establish our headquarters a little further inside."
"How much space do we need?"
"Not much."
Fang Che spoke calmly, "We don't need a place like Hai Wu Liang's Night Demon Sect headquarters, with its grandeur and solemnity... none of that is necessary. We also don't need so many people!"
"I only want the elite."
"So, at the beginning, you'll stay here to construct it, or you can simply dig out some caves."
"The specifics are up to you to figure out."
"If you need anything, you can make the decisions yourselves. The space can be large, but for the living area, a few dozen people will be enough."
"In the future, as we expand, if anyone brings in their family, they'll have to find a way to create their own living space within the designated area. Understand?"
"In simple terms, the space for a few of us to stand is enough. As we expand in the future, we'll gradually develop within the Guardian Sect Array."
"Yes, Supreme Leader."
"Why not just build a large one directly?"
"Feng Wan Xia said, "Supreme Leader, this banquet, the office, training, sleep, study, tea room, Spirit Energy Chamber, Punishment Hall, Well Water Source, latrines, Financial Office, and so on... If we don't start now, it will definitely become chaotic in the future."
"Then you take care of it."
Fang Che, adhering to the principle of 'those who advocate should do the work', directly conscripted Feng Wan Xia.
Feng Wan Xia: "..."
"Additionally, for the construction, I don't want to use people from the Guardian Continent."
Fang Che's expression turned solemn. "Either you transfer people here, or you few will have to do it yourselves."
"Yes, Supreme Leader."
Fang Che said indifferently, "Our sect is newly established, so we must keep things simple. There's only one reason for this... We may not be able to survive in this gap. We are still far from stabilizing our position."
"Therefore, it's too early to say anything."
Mo Wang Long Yi Kong and the others understood this point.
After all, this was the Guardian's territory.
This time, they came to follow the Supreme Leader in establishing their sect, but in reality, every step was filled with life-and-death crises.
The initial stages of every sect were fraught with difficulties. Although hundreds of small supreme leaders were sent down from headquarters, in reality, very few of these small sects could survive.
The Celestial Net of the Guardians was not something to be trifled with.
As Fang Che discussed the construction plans with his subordinates, Mu Lin Yuan's face revealed a smile. The child who once needed his protection had truly grown up.
His commanding presence, filled with dignity, and every gesture and movement exuded an aura of ruling over all.
The more Mu Lin Yuan looked, the more satisfied he became. He laughed and said, "Night Demon, since you've found your base, I'll return to report first."
"So soon?"
Fang Che was surprised. "Master, why don't you stay a few more days and help me with some ideas?"
Mu Lin Yuan laughed and said, "If I stay longer, I'm afraid your master will be so anxious that he won't be able to sleep."
Fang Che smiled and complained, "Master is too stingy."
Mu Lin Yuan laughed happily and then said, "Moreover, it's not appropriate for me to stay here."
He said, "Next, you need to truly select a sect location and then set up the Guardian Sect Array. It's even less appropriate for me to be here. I shouldn't know about these matters. Since your sect is newly established, everything should be approached with caution."
"After I leave, you can research the specifics."
Mu Lin Yuan smiled as he looked at Fang Che. "Night Demon, you understand."
Fang Che said with reluctance, "But on my side, there's nothing that Master doesn't know."
Mu Lin Yuan smiled in relief and said, "But now, you are the Supreme Leader of the Night Demon Sect! Not just a Night Demon anymore!"
"But Master will always be Master."
Fang Che stubbornly replied.
Mu Lin Yuan's gaze softened as he looked at Fang Che intently. After a long while, he reached out and gently touched Fang Che's face, then rubbed his beard and whispered, "From now on, take on the heavy responsibilities. Be mature and composed. In all matters, prioritize safety. When dealing with subordinates, don't be too harsh, but also don't be too lenient. Do you understand?"
Fang Che said, "If there's anything I don't understand, I will still seek guidance from the masters."
Mu Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Of course. As long as we can help you, we will spare no effort. But as a Supreme Leader, you should learn from your master."
Mu Lin Yuan spoke with emphasis, "Although your master sometimes has some suspicions and is a bit narrow-minded, you should know... that's something necessary for the position of Supreme Leader. If there isn't that little bit of caution, how can one sit securely in that position?"
"I understand," Fang Che said respectfully.
"This old man has watched you all the way, and now you've finally become the leader of a sect. My heart is truly filled with emotion."
Mu Lin Yuan patted Fang Che's shoulder firmly and said, "Night Demon, take care! Every step must be taken firmly! In the future, I'll be waiting to see you soar to the heavens!"
Fang Che smiled and said, "Actually, I've always had this idea. If I can take another step in the future, I'll dissolve the One Heart Sect, bring the masters home, and take good care of you all, allowing you to enjoy your golden years."
A dazzling light suddenly flashed in Mu Lin Yuan's eyes. "Really?!"
"Really!"
Fang Che nodded seriously.
Mu Lin Yuan laughed heartily, "If it can be like this, I'll have no regrets in this life! No regrets at all!"
He laughed heartily, his white robe fluttering as he waved to Fang Che, "Go and get busy. I'm leaving... Haha... Good child, Master is waiting for you to dominate the world and soar to the heavens!"
"Master, I'll send someone to see you off!" Fang Che said.
"How did I get here? If I can come, can't I also return on my own?"
Mu Lin Yuan glared, "Go and take care of your business!"
His figure accelerated as he retreated, disappearing into the wind and snow.
Fang Che's voice came from behind, "Master, take care on your journey!"
Mu Lin Yuan's lips curved into a smile as he stood in the wind and snow, his heart filled with satisfaction.
He seemed to have already seen the future promised by the Night Demon.
Dissolving the One Heart Sect, bringing the masters home, and enjoying their golden years.
"Wonderful."
Mu Lin Yuan smiled even more contentedly.
After so many years of strife in the martial world, although Mu Lin Yuan was a ferocious demon, he had long grown tired.
Because he was like Qian San Jiang and the others, unable to see his future or his destination.
He could only follow the rise and fall of Yin Shen Gong.
After experiencing the Incubate Demon Deity Plan, there was still hope for advancement, but Mu Lin Yuan and the others had no hope at all. How could they not be tired?
Yin Shen Gong was still ambitious, and Mu Lin Yuan and the others could only endure it.
Now, at the time of parting, Yin Shen Gong's weariness gave Mu Lin Yuan a glimmer of hope.
And the promise of the Night Demon gave Mu Lin Yuan a surge of excitement.
According to his speculation, based on the Night Demon's current progress, the Night Demon would probably only need fifty years to become the new elite of the Only Righteous Sect!
With such towering power, by then, with the Night Demon's character, he would definitely be able to fulfill today's promise.
"At most, just endure another fifty years!"
Mu Lin Yuan's body and mind relaxed: "Just fifty years."
For Mu Lin Yuan, who had been wandering in the martial world for over two thousand years, fifty years was indeed not short, but it could by no means be considered long.
It was definitely worth the wait. A few periods of seclusion, a few missions, and a few adventures, and fifty years would pass by.
By then, the Supreme Leader would probably also be tired of... With a few old fellows gathered together, enjoying their later years would be so much better. Why bother with the fighting in the martial world?
On this trip back, he must have a good talk with Qian San Jiang and those few old fellows.
Also, the Supreme Leader must have already prepared the Hundred Fruit Fragrance.
Mu Lin Yuan's mood lifted, and he continued to move forward in the heavy snow.
The snow, which covered the sky and earth, felt cool and refreshing when it hit his face.
Three thousand li, almost imperceptibly, disappeared under his feet.
There was a forest ahead, but now it was no different from the mountains, all covered in heavy snow.
Mu Lin Yuan's body felt light as he flew over, about to pass by.
Underneath, a pile of snow suddenly loosened. A white figure appeared.
The next moment, a figure had already soared into the sky, standing in front of Mu Lin Yuan in the void with his hands behind his back, blocking the way.
His eyes, like phantom flames, stared at Mu Lin Yuan's face.
"Old Mu, you see an old friend and don't even greet them?"
Mu Lin Yuan's body suddenly stopped.
He looked at the other person suspiciously and asked, "Old friend? What old friend?"
The man in white smiled faintly: "A thousand-year-old friend, Old Mu, you don't recognize him anymore."
He pulled down the scarf covering his face a little.
His face, full of scars, and his face, with bones exposed everywhere, appeared.
Those ferocious and vicious eyes stared at Mu Lin Yuan, and he smiled without a hint of laughter: "You don't recognize him?"
The person in front of him was actually the former Night Demon Supreme Leader, Hai Wu Liang, who should have died long ago. Mu Lin Yuan was shocked, and he felt his heart sinking into an abyss: "Supreme Leader Hai?"
"It's me."
Hai Wu Liang smiled faintly, moving the rotten flesh on his face, making his face even more ferocious. He spoke softly, "Is Yin Shen Gong doing well? I've been thinking of him every moment this past year."
"Supreme Leader, take care."
Mu Lin Yuan had calmed down from his initial panic.
Having encountered Hai Wu Liang, he knew that any panic would be useless.
Now, he was already at a dead end.
But it seemed that Hai Wu Liang wanted to talk to him, so Mu Lin Yuan was silently summoning the Five Spirit Bugs.
He sent a message.
"Night Demon, be careful of Hai Wu Liang. He's not dead. He saw you enter the old site of the Night Demon Sect. Child, Second Master won't be able to give you advice anymore. You must take care from now on!"
"Supreme Leader, be careful of Hai Wu Liang. He's not dead. I met him on my way back after parting with the Night Demon. Supreme Leader, Old Mu can't accompany you in the martial world anymore! Please take care from now on!"
Mu Lin Yuan didn't realize that in his final messages of his life, there was still a focus.
The first message was sent to the Night Demon.
The second message was to Yin Shen Gong.
And he was still afraid that Yin Shen Gong would blame the Night Demon for his death, causing the child to suffer, so he specifically clarified, 'I met him on my way back after parting with the Night Demon.'
After sending the two messages, Mu Lin Yuan felt a sense of relief and sighed lightly.
Night Demon, the promise you made to Second Master for his retirement, Second Master won't be able to wait.
Hai Wu Liang kept his cold gaze on Mu Lin Yuan's face.
Mu Lin Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled as he looked at Hai Wu Liang: "Supreme Leader Hai, it's been a long time. Today's meeting has truly surprised me."
Hai Wu Liang stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "Has the message been sent?"
Mu Lin Yuan nodded frankly: "Thank you, Supreme Leader Hai, for giving me time. It's already been sent out."
Hai Wu Liang laughed sinisterly: "Why give you time, Old Mu? It's to let Yin Shen Gong know that feeling of being out of reach. Haha, after so many years, an old brother, just after sending a message to him, dies. Yin Shen Gong's heart must be feeling terrible."
He laughed maniacally, shaking the sky, and the snowflakes shattered. Hai Wu Liang was like a madman: "I want him to feel terrible! Hahaha..."
Mu Lin Yuan looked at Hai Wu Liang's face with pity and smiled faintly: "Regardless, in the end, he gave me a chance to say goodbye. For this, I must still thank him.
"Farewell, hahaha, farewell."
Hai Wu Liang laughed cruelly and said, "Old Mu, is there anything you want to say to me before I leave?"
Mu Lin Yuan replied, "Yes."
"Go ahead," Hai Wu Liang said, his eyes flickering with surprise.
Mu Lin Yuan took a deep breath of the cold air between heaven and earth, feeling for the first time how sweet the air was.
With a smile, he said, "Before I left the One Heart Sect this time, the Supreme Leader said something that left a deep impression on him. Now that I've met you, Hai Wu Liang, I realize that those words are equally fitting for you."
"What words?" Hai Wu Liang asked.
"This Martial World is no longer ours. Hai Wu Liang!" Mu Lin Yuan spoke softly.
"Don't you feel the same?"
A flicker of emotion crossed Hai Wu Liang's eyes, and a hint of dismay flashed through his mind.
"It's no longer our Martial World...?"
Hai Wu Liang's eyes suddenly went blank, and he suddenly remembered the Southeast Five Sects of the past.
Now, they had all scattered like stars in the stream of clouds.
In their place, the Night Demon Sect had risen to power.
At this thought, a surge of inexpressible rage rose within him, and he snarled, "It's no longer my Martial World? Why is it no longer my world? If it weren't for the despicable betrayal of the Yin Shen Palace, how could I have been forced to withdraw from this world?"
Mu Lin Yuan sighed gently, "Hai Wu Liang, you know very well that the incident back then involved not only our Supreme Leader but also others."
Hai Wu Liang spoke with a sinisterly, "But the only one I can provoke... is you and your disciple, Night Demon! Both of you must die! You must all die!"
There was nothing more to say to that.
Mu Lin Yuan smiled faintly, "But unfortunately, the new leader of the Night Demon Sect is no longer you, Hai Wu Liang. So, should I address you as the former Supreme Leader?"
"You're asking for death!"
Hai Wu Liang flew into a rage, and black energy rose from his body, "Mu Lin Yuan, don't you even want to die properly?"
In his agitation, Hai Wu Liang's sleeves fluttered, revealing his hands, which were covered in thick black hair!
Even his nails were hidden beneath the hair.
"So what if I did?"
Mu Lin Yuan's eyes fell on Hai Wu Liang's hands, and his heart skipped a beat. With kindness, he said, "Hai Wu Liang, you've become neither human nor ghost. What happened to you? Your whole body is rotting, and it must be unbearable. You look like a wild beast now. Hey, you've even grown hair on your hands?"
Mu Lin Yuan laughed maliciously, "Hai Wu Liang, were you defiled by some beast?"
"Ah~~~"
Hai Wu Liang let out a long, piercing howl, his voice filled with utmost malice.
"Today, I'll sever the arm of the Yin Shen Palace!"
Hai Wu Liang unleashed his full power, and black energy surged into the sky.
It far surpassed the previous unmatched strength and erupted suddenly.
In the air, only Mu Lin Yuan's mocking laughter could be heard, "Hehe... What beast defiled you? I'm very curious..."
...
At the former Night Demon Sect headquarters.
Fang Che and the others continued their inspection.
After examining the surroundings, they slowly made their way to the higher ground behind the ruins.
"It's a pity that everything is covered in deep snow; otherwise, we could see the whole mountain range."
Mo Wang spoke.
Fang Che's body hovered above the snow, his hands behind his back as he surveyed the area. Suddenly, his eyes widened in surprise.
There was a shallow footprint in one spot, slowly being covered by the falling snow. Although it was almost completely hidden, a faint edge remained visible.
"Someone was standing here just now?"
Fang Che's body went cold, and his eyes widened.
He flew over to the footprint, and at the same time, Mo Wang quickly followed.
A gentle gust of spirit energy brushed past the footprint, and the freshly fallen snow rose, revealing a clear imprint.
"It hasn't been long. At the very least, when we entered the valley, this person was still here. If it had been any longer, this footprint would have disappeared."
Fang Che's heart stirred, "When we entered the valley, this person was still here? Then now..."
Suddenly, his eyes turned red, and he roared, "Second Master!"
In the next moment, Fang Che's body turned into a phantom in the snow, and with a whoosh, he disappeared in the direction Mu Lin Yuan had left!
He was like a spear thrusting through the wind and snow, moving in a straight line.
Countless snowflakes were shattered, and in the midst of the blizzard, a straight circular passage was formed!
"Chase after him!"
Mo Wang roared and took the lead, following Fang Che's shadow.
"Supreme Leader, keep your mind clear and be cautious of ambushes..."
Long Yi Kong and the others also rushed after them.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Fang Che flew forward frantically.
His speed was so fast that he only wished he had the ability to tear through space. If he could, perhaps... he might still make it in time.
After rushing out for eight hundred li, the Five Spirit Bugs dinged, alerting them to a message.
Fang Che took out the communication jade while still running.
As expected, it was a message from Mu Lin Yuan.
"Night Demon, beware of Hai Wu Liang. He's not dead, and he's seen you enter the former Night Demon Sect headquarters. Child, Second Master can no longer give you advice. Take care of yourself from now on!"
