Chapter 717: Night Demon's Ambition [Golden Alliance Leader's wise decision for Hai Chen, additional chapters 71 and 72]

"Feng Family, Feng Yun, the only righteous Feng Yun."

Feng Yun mumbled to himself.

Such a reprimand, there had been one before, and now it had come again. Moreover, this time, with this reason, his path to participating in high-level decision-making was blocked.

But Feng Yun asked himself sincerely, I have already dedicated myself to the public good. Why am I still so untrusted?

A sense of indignation rose within him.

"I would like to ask the Vice Sect Leader."

Feng Yun finally made up his mind to stand up for himself: "How can I be the only righteous Feng Yun?"

"When you arrange anything, and you consider not increasing the strength of the Feng Family, but instead enhancing the foundation and power of the entire sect, then you are the only righteous Feng Yun."

Yan Nan answered in detail: "Look around you, those surrounding you are still the forces of your own family, not the sect's power."

"Take another look at my surroundings."

"Or you can look at Yan Beihan's entourage."

"It's obvious that with your intelligence, you should have realized this a long time ago, but you can't break free from the Feng Family's boundaries."

This time, Yan Nan was very patient.

Yan Nan had also been waiting for this opportunity, a chance to truly enlighten Feng Yun like a revelation.

A loud drum needs a heavy hammer!

Now was the time to strike with that heavy hammer.

Yan Nan had always held Feng Yun in high regard.

But if Feng Yun still didn't understand this time, he would forever lose the opportunity to become a true high-level leader from this moment on.

Feng Yun looked at Yan Beihan.

With Yan Beihan's associates, Bing Tianxue, Feng Xue, Chen Xue, and Bi Yunyan... and then thinking of Yan Beihan's other subordinates... that circle of friends.

Then thinking of himself, surrounded by his own people or those supported by the Feng Family...

Suddenly, a moment of enlightenment, but he still hadn't truly understood.

Yan Nan's message continued to transmit: "I originally planned that after the Junior Sect Master left this time, I would transfer Night Demon from Yin Shen Gong's hands to yours. Because your abilities and mind, combined with Night Demon, would truly complement each other. However, recently, you did something that changed my mind, so for now, I can't give Night Demon to you."

Feng Yun's thoughts raced, and he finally decided to ask directly: "Please, Yan Zu, what did Yun'er do wrong?"

The change in address was a sign of a junior seeking closeness with a senior.

Yan Nan replied calmly: "It's rare that you still know to use family ties to get close to me."

"Yun'er only wants to know where he went wrong."

Feng Yun pondered but couldn't understand.

"Your mistake lies in selfishness."

Yan Nan bluntly pointed out: "What are your people doing while Yan Beihan is rectifying the Secluded Mountain Gate? They're dragging her down and creating difficulties for her."

"Why is Yan Beihan rectifying the Secluded Mountain Gate? And your people, in the face of the sect's development, a matter of right and wrong, are still concerned about your competition."

"Is this the demeanor and vision of the only righteous young leader?"

"Of course, Yan Beihan is competing with you, but has she ever disrupted your plans or held you back? Has she become an obstacle to your progress?"

"Shouldn't you be fully assisting? Because this is a major matter for the entire sect! Feng Yun, you've disappointed me! If you were to assist wholeheartedly, then in your competition with Xiao Han, you would have already won! Even if Yan Beihan did as well as you, you would still win because you are a man! You understand what I mean!"

"But you chose to create obstacles and hinder her!"

"You say you are the only righteous Feng Yun, but are your actions truly for the entire sect?"

Yan Nan's words were stern: "Instead of reflecting on your own actions, you come to ask me where you went wrong? Why don't you know where you went wrong?"

"Because you're sitting on the Feng Family's position, not the young leader's position! That's why you can't see your own mistakes!"

"Feng Yun, you've disappointed me!"

Everyone watched as Feng Yun sent and received messages.

Then, they clearly saw Feng Yun's body trembling.

Suddenly, his face and head covered in cold sweat, understood.

"How can I trust you with Night Demon with such an attitude? Not to mention life and death, but can you truly be impartial?"

"Feng Yun, your vision!"

Yan Nan said, "You are already the first grandmaster of the only righteous sect. What are you afraid of?"

"Just like a prince vying for the throne, Feng Yun, you are already the crown prince. Do you still want to target your brothers? Your brother is expanding the territory, and you're holding him back, causing chaos in his army, and almost ruining his efforts? Whose strength are you diminishing, your brother's or the country's?"

"The sea contains a hundred rivers, and its greatness lies in its capacity; a mountain rises ten thousand feet, and its strength lies in its lack of desire."

Yan Nan said, "Think it over. For Night Demon, you can add the Communication Jade, and then arrange your tasks in the southeast, but give some autonomy. If you can guess Night Demon's identity, I will give him to you. If you can transform into the only righteous Feng Yun, I will also give him to you."

Finally, Yan Nan spoke: "Feng Yun, don't ruin your future! The only righteous sect still has the Supreme Sect Master, and there's no need to choose an heir! If something major happens, and we ten die together, then there's even less need for an heir! You understand!"

"Feng Yun, you need to wake up!"

The communication was cut off.

Feng Yun's face turned ashen, his forehead still beaded with sweat, making him appear somewhat disheveled.

All this time, he had been rather vague about the concepts of 'Only Righteous Sect's Feng Yun' and 'Feng Family's Feng Yun'.

He even struggled to understand it.

Because I've always felt that I've been looking at issues from the perspective of the entire sect, how can I still be Feng Family's Feng Yun?

But today, he finally understood!

Piercing through the clouds, he truly saw the vastness of the heavens, but he also truly realized where he had gone wrong.

Turns out I was stupid to this extent.

I actually went to hinder Yan Beihan while he was busy.

Vice Sect Leader Yan's words perfectly explained the difference between 'Only Righteous Sect's Feng Yun' and 'Feng Family's Feng Yun'.

But I was trapped in this, and it took me many years to get out.

Moreover, Vice Sect Leader Yan's attitude told him what it meant to be a Vice Sect Leader who oversees the overall situation!

His words and demeanor today weren't those of Yan Beihan's grandfather but of the Only Righteous Sect's Vice Sect Leader!

Key Point: Of the Only Righteous Sect!

If he really wanted Yan Beihan to surpass him, he wouldn't have reminded him.

If I kept making mistakes, I would continue to lose points in the eyes of the nine Vice Sect Leaders. As long as I don't awaken, this mistake might persist for a long time.

When it truly comes to the end... even if I wake up, it will be too late.

Regarding Yan Nan's magnanimity and sincere expectations, Feng Yun had never felt them so clearly before. Because of this clarity, he felt even more ashamed.

"Senior's magnanimity... the Sect Leader's broad-mindedness."

Feng Yun couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Then he sat down quietly, poured himself a cup of wine, held it up, and stared at the liquid for a long time.

Then he raised his head and drank it all in one go.

His mood gradually calmed.

Feng Xue looked at him worriedly and asked, "Big brother, what's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Feng Yun smiled faintly and sighed, "It's still my sister."

Suddenly, he picked up the wine glass and said, "When you were conquering White Cloud Palace, my people caused you a lot of trouble and added many obstacles. This cup is for you. Such things won't happen again."

He directly brought this matter to the table.

Yan Beihan was startled for a moment and then smiled, saying, "Shouldn't we discuss this privately? Wouldn't that be better?"

"A mistake is a mistake. Discussing it privately isn't sincere enough."

Feng Yun shook his head, "I'll drink. You can do as you please."

He tilted his head back and drank it all.

Everyone instantly felt Feng Yun's transformation; it seemed like he had let go of something or had an epiphany at that moment.

Instead, he became even more charismatic as a leader.

Then Feng Yun turned to Fang Che and said, "Night Demon, let's add each other's communication. Rest assured, I won't make things difficult for you again. However, if your Night Demon Sect doesn't do well with the tasks I assign, there will be appropriate punishments."

Fang Che said, "Thank you for your understanding, Young Master Yun."

"I didn't understand before, but Vice Sect Leader Yan has already explained it to me."

A huge weight was lifted from Fang Che's heart, and he said, "In the future, I might make Young Master Yun angry quite a bit."

"I only care about capability."

Feng Yun took a deep breath and said softly, "As for anger... I'll control it myself. Although you're Yan Beihan's person, you're even more so a member of the Only Righteous Sect. For this, you needn't worry or be concerned."

Fang Che smiled.

At the same time, he wondered what Yan Nan had said to Feng Yun to bring about such a drastic change!

Ice Heaven Snow's eyes deepened, and he said, "It seems like Little Yun'er has figured something out."

"Yes, Ice Ancestor, your insight is like a torch."

Feng Yun said, "After receiving Vice Sect Leader Yan's teachings, I've realized some of my shortcomings. When I return, I need to reflect on myself."

Yan Beihan's bright eyes flashed, and he said, "Feng Yun, watching you today feels more comfortable than before. Although I've been chasing after you as my goal, today's you doesn't make me dislike you."

Feng Yun smiled bitterly, "Did the previous me make you dislike me so much?"

Yan Beihan laughed without reservation, "The previous you was too pretentious."

Instantly, Feng Xue and the others burst into laughter.

Feng Yun smiled bitterly.

Ice Heaven Snow also felt a bit happy. Seeing the younger generation becoming harmonious made even a big demon like Ice Heaven Snow feel comfortable, as if he could see the prosperity of the Only Righteous Sect.

The atmosphere became more harmonious.

Yan Beihan asked, "Feng Yun, why aren't you asking Night Demon any questions?"

Feng Yun smiled bitterly, "Can we not mention this? In front of subordinates, we should still give some face to this General Commander."

Yan Beihan said, "You were just frowning like you wanted to kill someone, and we all remember that. Now you're starting to care about face?"

Everyone laughed.

Feng Yun also laughed and said, "Night Demon, although you belong under Yan's command, for now, you're in the Southeast. You can't get involved in Yan's affairs for the time being."

So in the near future, you should pay more attention to the Southeast."

After saying this twice, Feng Yun's words made it clear that his current state of mind was somewhat chaotic, and even his self-control was lacking.

Fang Che said, "The Chief Administrator is right."

"Since you've been in the Southeast for so long, what do you think of the current situation of our sect in the Southeast?" Feng Yun's emotions gradually calmed down.

This was the real test.

Although Night Demon was the deputy sect leader's pawn, it was still uncertain whether he would be trusted and recognized by Feng Yun.

If Feng Yun believed that Night Demon was not up to the task, it would also be a problem with Night Demon's own abilities.

"I think the Southeast is still relatively stable at the moment," Fang Che said.

Fang Che spoke with confidence, "As the Southeast Chief Administrator, Yun Shao naturally focuses on the Southeast due to his status as the leader of the younger generation. The Southeast has become a secondary concern."

"Currently, there are no major battles between the two sides, and during this relatively stable phase, I believe that Yun Shao's current approach is already very good. Due to Yun Shao's status, any movement in the Southeast will naturally invite the Guardian's thunderous suppression."

"Therefore, it's best for both sides to remain still."

"However, with the arrival of the junior sect leaders from the sect leader-level Yanggu Chengshen Plan, there will inevitably be disturbances in the Southeast. This will conflict with Yun Shao's current policy of a smooth transition, and if there are too many deaths in the Southeast, the Guardians will once again initiate battles in the Southeast."

Feng Yun slowly nodded, "In your opinion, can't these small sects in the Southeast make any big moves?"

"They can," Fang Che said.

"But first, they need to be distinguished from the Southeast Headquarters."

"Moreover, I believe that the Southeast Headquarters has sufficient strength and extremely appropriate strategies, but the performance of the subordinate sects is extremely average."

"The original five sects of the Southeast, including my master's Yixin Sect, have all become somewhat inactive."

"The Tian Shen Sect, San Sheng Sect, Guangming Sect, and Yixin Sect... to some extent, they are just acting as moneybags, only moving when there's an important task assigned from above, and usually doing nothing."

"If this is the case, I believe there's no need to establish sects at all. Anyone can come and act as a moneybag. Just guard a pile of resources and live a stable life."

"As a sect of the Only Righteous Sect, even if we don't kill, we must create some noise. Otherwise, what's the point of the sect keeping us?"

"This is also the reason why there hasn't been a first-level sect in the Southeast for so long! But the sects in the North, Northwest, and Northeast are developing very well, with many experts and the most talents. Why? Because they fight a lot, and naturally, when there are more battles, mediocre talents will die, and elites will rise."

"In the two Yanggu Chengshen Plans, the Southeast's ranking was actually at the bottom. I'm not talented, but I won the championship, but this was a personal achievement. If I take this championship for the Southeast, what's left?"

"The reason Yun Shao didn't lead the team this time is because... Yun Shao himself knows that there are no talents in the Southeast. Going there would only result in humiliation. It's better not to go!"

"But if this continues, what kind of talents can the Southeast produce? It's impossible!"

"So I believe that if the Southeast wants to achieve results, the Southeast Headquarters should maintain stability, but the subordinate sects don't have to. Moreover... even if the subordinate sects really get into trouble and are annihilated, so what? Even if the Southeast loses its subordinate sects, the Southeast Headquarters will still be the Southeast Headquarters."

"And it won't be long before new small sects will emerge again."

Fang Che displayed the attitude of a 'Only Righteous Sect youth', showing his 'straightforward' demeanor and eagerness to 'kill and cause trouble'.

Feng Yun listened intently, and said calmly, "So this is why you eliminated the Guangming Sect?"

"Yes!"

Fang Che spoke bluntly, "What's the use of keeping a sect like the Guangming Sect? They've gathered tens of thousands of people, just living their lives... tsk, living their lives, who can't do that? If tens of thousands of people don't move for many years, it's better to kill them and make a contribution to the sect foundation of my Night Demon Sect."

"After eliminating the Guangming Sect, do you also want to eliminate the San Sheng Sect?" Feng Yun's cold gaze fell upon him.

"Yes."

Fang Che was filled with killing intent, "During the snowstorm, first, we couldn't find civilians to kill, and second... even if we found civilians, I wouldn't feel anything when I killed them, and I wouldn't even want to kill them. So... even if we could find people to kill, I would still end up attacking sects like the Guangming Sect."

"It's a disgrace to be in the same position as these people who only care about preserving their lives. Since they're useless, why not use their lives for others?"

Fang Che's words, filled with killing intent, made all six people turn their heads.

Feng Xuechenxue's pretty face twitched repeatedly.

Even Bing Tianshue couldn't help but glance at this ruthless killer.

His gaze turned slightly more serious.

"You're quite ambitious!"

Feng Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Night Demon, your murderous intent is like a sharp blade. Such a blade can harm others, but it can also harm yourself. If not used properly, it might turn against you."

"I dare not hide it from the Chief Administrator. I want the Night Demon Sect to become the top sect among the Eight Great Sects! I want to trample on all the Five Elements, Ice, and Seven Colors. I want to step on them all!"

Fang Che's expression remained unchanged as he said, "And I don't mind using slaughter as a means to advance. I'll kill and trample my way forward!"

At this moment, even the muscles on Feng Yun's face were twitching.

After a long while, he finally sighed.

Turning to Yan Beihan, he said, "Right now, I don't envy you at all. I'm not even upset that you poached someone from my Southeast."

"Because this person will inevitably cause trouble and create huge problems. Fortunately, you took him away. Otherwise, I might not have been able to bear the responsibility!"

Feng Yun claimed that he didn't envy at all, but deep down, he was filled with envy.

How could I, Feng Yun, be someone who can't bear responsibility? I dream of taking on this responsibility.

Even if the Night Demon causes a huge disaster, I can still support him! It's just a pity that he's not my man!

Then, Feng Yun turned to Fang Che and asked, "Night Demon, how old are you exactly? Can you tell me?"

Fang Che hesitated for a moment before saying, "Not yet three hundred years old!"

Feng Yun frowned, "Specifically? Have you reached one hundred years?"

"No..."

"Forty?"

"Not yet..."

Feng Yun stopped asking.

Bi Yunyan spoke up, "Night Demon, you're exaggerating too much. You're clearly not even forty years old, yet you say you're not yet three hundred?"

Fang Che countered, "Have I reached three hundred?"

"..."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Indeed, he hadn't reached that age yet.

However, Bing Tianshue was carefully examining Fang Che and said calmly, "Night Demon, there are two people who walk the same path as you."

Feng Yun asked, "Who?"

"Duan Xiaying and Sun Wutian."

Bing Tianshue continued calmly, "They don't differentiate between friend and foe. They slaughter their way forward! Anyone who stands in their path, whether they're from the Guardian or the Only Righteous Sect...all of them, not a single one survived!"

Feng Yun suddenly turned around, his eyes fixed on Fang Che's face, and asked, "Night Demon, what's your current cultivation level?"

"Venerable Rank, Fourth Grade."

Fang Che replied.

"What about before you became the Sect Leader?" Feng Yun asked.

"Sovereign Rank, Seventh Grade. In the Puppet God Realm, I broke through to Venerable Rank, First Grade."

Fang Che explained, "Then, I had a fortuitous encounter and skipped a grade...reaching my current rank. But I've found that after reaching the Venerable Rank, the upgrades have become much slower. It's much slower than before!"

Feng Yun took a deep breath.

Suddenly, he didn't feel like talking.

He felt a twinge of pain in his heart.

Such a talented person had been poached by Yan Beihan? But immediately, he thought of Duan Xiaying...who wasn't actually Yan Nan's person, but the Supreme Sect Master's. However, since Yan Nan was in charge of the sect, what difference did it make whose person he was? They were all from the Only Righteous Sect, and that was enough.

Thinking of this, he let out a sigh of relief.

Bi Yunyan asked, "In the Puppet God World, you killed so many Sages, but your cultivation level hadn't reached the Venerable Rank yet?"

"By the later stage, I had already reached the Venerable Rank, First Grade."

Fang Che replied.

Bing Tianshue said, "You killed people across an entire cultivation grade! Feng Yun, you must make good use of this Night Demon. Don't let him wither away."

Feng Yun muttered, "I will."

He couldn't help but sigh.

After a series of blows, realizations, and disappointments, Feng Yun suddenly felt that even this unparalleled feast under the heavens had lost some of its appeal.

However, everyone present was a sharp-minded individual, and no matter what, they wouldn't let the atmosphere turn cold. It wasn't until dinner that Feng Yun asked Fang Che, "The Sect Foundation should be established by now, right?"

"Yes, it's been established."

"Go and report to the Southeast Headquarters quickly."

Feng Yun's attitude was very kind, and he bid farewell to Bing Tianshue, Yan Beihan, and the others.

A dark shadow appeared and transformed back into Feng Yun's shadow, following him out. Feng Yifei'er and Feng Er stood on either side, fulfilling their duties.

In the late hours of the night, they left Yanhuilou Tower.

As Feng Yun stepped out of the door, he sighed and said, "For now, the Southeast still needs to be stabilized."

Then, he disappeared from the doorway.

Finally, Fang Che let out a long sigh of relief.

Yan Beihan smiled and asked, "How was it?"

"The pressure was immense," Fang Che replied honestly.

Yan Beihan laughed, but Bing Tianshue scoffed.

"Night Demon, you're quite the schemer," Bing Tianshue said calmly.

"Senior Bing is too kind," Bing Tianshue said to Yan Beihan and Chen Xue. "I'll tell you, this Night Demon might have seemed nervous earlier, but in reality, he's very calm inside. There wasn't even a hint of fear in his heart. His heartbeat, blood flow, scalp, and every part of his body showed no abnormalities."

"In the future, when dealing with men who can act, especially you few young ladies, you must be more cautious and keep your wits about you."
