Chapter 721: Reporting to the Southeast Headquarters [Golden Alliance Leader's Special Chapter: 75,
Chapter 721: Reporting to the Southeast Headquarters [Golden Alliance Leader's Special Chapter: 75, 76]
As soon as Zhou Mei'er spoke, Yan Beihan's eyes flashed with anger, and the anger of Bi Yunyan, Chen Xue, and Feng Xue, who were beside him, intensified.
Concubine-born, marriage alliance!
For proud daughters like them, the most detestable thing was using their gender for marriage alliances to gain benefits.
Zhou Mei'er's words struck a nerve with all the girls.
"Does the Zhou family not care about your lifelong happiness at all?" Chen Xue said angrily.
"I'm just a concubine-born, and for the family, my greatest use is to find a suitable match from a family of equal status, using marriage to gain resources and status for the family. That's where my value lies," said Zhou Mei'er.
A sad smile appeared on Zhou Mei'er's face, "As for happiness... that's not even a consideration for the family. After all... I'm not a direct daughter. What qualifications do I have to pursue my own happiness?"
"How dare you!"
Yan Beihan slammed the table and said, "The Zhou family is truly heartless! Even their own bloodline daughter is treated so cruelly!"
"Moreover, Mei'er is very important to me now. Does the Zhou family want to cut off one of my arms?"
Yan Beihan found a reason to explode.
"Hong Yi!!"
"I'm here," replied Hong Yi.
"Go to the Zhou family and tell them that they don't need to worry about Mei'er's marriage. As for how to deal with the Li family, let them figure it out themselves. The engagement is canceled! Tell the head of the Zhou family that this is what I, Yan Beihan, say!"
"If the Zhou family dares to hinder us again, the entire family will go to the cold ice mines to dig for ore. Get out of my sight!"
Yan Beihan lost his temper completely.
All the anger he had accumulated from Bi Yunyan was now directed at the unfortunate Zhou family.
If it weren't for the fact that this was still Zhou Mei'er's maternal family, the Zhou family would probably already be collectively sent to the cold ice mines.
Moreover, if Miss Yan personally sent them to dig in the mines... the consequences would be unimaginable, and they would probably all die within a few days...
"I'll go now," said Hong Yi.
As a woman, Hong Yi also detested such family practices.
"How dare they! Even my people are not spared!"
Yan Beihan glared at Bi Yunyan with a chilling gaze.
Bi Yunyan: "???"
What did I do?
"Meeting dismissed!"
Zhou Mei'er knelt down excitedly, "Thank you, General Yan, for your generosity! I will serve you faithfully for the rest of my life!"
She hesitated for a moment and said, "I apologize for my boldness, but at this moment, I must bring up something that may displease you. But aside from you, there is no one else who can change my fate. Please forgive me."
"There's no need to be formal among sisters," said Yan Beihan gently.
"You're quite capable," he added with a warm smile.
Then, he looked at her intently and said softly, "I knew you were using this opportunity when you brought it up before the battle, but you have the ability and qualification to make me stand up for you. So, don't worry about it. You can repay me later, and your talent is my gain."
He patted Zhou Mei'er's shoulder again and said, "Sisters!"
Then, he turned and left.
Zhou Mei'er stood up, her eyes filled with tears of excitement.
General Yan truly understands.
General Yan is indeed worth my devotion!
She quickly walked out and began to issue orders. Her voice was crisp and decisive.
Everyone felt a sense of clarity in her, as if she had been reborn and became more proactive than ever before.
It seemed like she had found the greatest meaning in her life.
In the distance, Bi Yunyan watched Zhou Mei'er conveying the orders and praised, "Zhou Mei'er is indeed a talented person."
"She's quite capable," smiled Yan Beihan. "I've known about her marriage alliance for a long time and have been making arrangements. I was just waiting for her to bring it up herself. But I didn't expect her timing to be so perfect that even with my preparations, I still felt angry towards the Zhou family."
"In the future, Zhou Mei'er can take on more responsibilities."
"Yes," replied Zhou Mei'er.
At General Yan's command, hundreds of high-level experts and tens of thousands of members of the Only Righteous Sect began to act swiftly.
Their target: the Illusion Sect.
The elite forces were deployed!
...
After Fang Che quickly recovered from his injuries, he immediately contacted Feng Yun and learned the location of the Southeast Headquarters. Without delay, he set off.
Along the way, he contemplated the issue of his bone age, which was a flaw he hadn't noticed before.
During the journey, he received a list from Fang Yunzheng, which was compiled by Dong Sansan for the Night Demon Sect.
Previously, Fang Che had requested this list, but at that time, the Night Demon Sect was solely focused on teaching, so the list was useless. Therefore, Dong Sansan had been holding onto it.
But now that he had become the leader of the Night Demon Sect and a small vassal, it was time to use the list to show results.
In Dong Sansan's mind: Letting the Night Demon kill them before was a waste.
But now, letting the Night Demon Sect leader kill them was truly the perfect timing to maximize benefits.
The list included nine families and twelve influential forces in the rivers and lakes.
These nine families are not affiliated with the Only Righteous Sect but are on the side of the Protectors.
However, these nine families and twelve factions are scattered across the seven continents of the Southeast.
They are relatively dispersed.
Fang Che carefully examined the information, which was quite detailed: they were not members of the Only Righteous Sect, but they had never fought for the Protectors.
Furthermore, there were signs of previous interactions with the Only Righteous Sect.
These factions mainly had connections with the former Night Demon Sect, Heavenly God Sect, and Brightness Sect.
In other words, these three sects had already disappeared before successfully recruiting these families.
On the surface, these factions are now law-abiding citizens.
They were selected by Dongfang Sansan, with strength that is neither weak nor strong, but within the capabilities of the current Night Demon Sect, requiring some effort to defeat.
This balance has been perfectly executed.
After reading, Fang Che immediately understood the purpose.
It's a plan for the Night Demon Sect to expand in all directions.
By unleashing slaughter in various directions, they aim to create a situation where "the demonic flames soar high." Through this slaughter and brutality, they want to instill fear and tension among the Guardians.
Once these factions are eliminated, the Night Demon Sect's reputation will likely shake the entire Southeast, if not the whole world!
Dongfang Sansan's habit of meticulous planning ensures that the stubborn Night Demon Sect won't go astray in their killing spree.
He even thoughtfully listed the order: kill this one first, then the next... a well-organized sequence.
Before Fang Che joins the secret realm battle, he needs to eliminate two factions to establish a formidable reputation.
Then, Fang Che will participate in the Guardian's secret realm battle, remotely commanding the Night Demon Sect and others to complete the remaining targets one by one.
This will maintain the Night Demon Sect Leader's legendary status in the martial world.
In this way, a natural separation from Fang Che's Guardian identity will be achieved.
Meanwhile, Ding Jue Ran will disguise himself in black, emulating the Night Demon's appearance.
The Demon King, leading the Five Divine Demons, will be in charge of executing the plan.
The plan is meticulously laid out, with even complex parts accounted for, including escape routes and strategies to evade potential pursuit by the Guardians.
Fang Che's scalp tingled and he broke into a cold sweat reading Dongfang Sansan's plan.
No wonder people call him ruthless.
Indeed, this assessment is not an exaggeration.
However, the plan is well-designed for execution.
After reading, Fang Che already had a comprehensive plan in mind.
"Awesome!"
Fang Che, not one for flowery language, expressed his admiration with just two words.
Regarding the bone age issue, Fang Yun Zheng provided a concise answer.
"Sage-level naturally hides the bone age."
Understood.
It seems I am too weak.
It's rare for my father to be so tactful.
...
Only Righteous Sect Southeast Headquarters.
Feng Yun stood atop a high place with his hands behind his back.
His gaze was deep and mysterious.
"Today, the Night Demon Sect has completed its sect foundation."
"Who else is here?"
"The runner-up of the Yanggu Chengshen Plan, Qi Tianyue, from the Gold Demon Sect, has also arrived."
"Qi Tianyue..."
Feng Yun smiled, "Both the champion and runner-up have been sent to the Southeast... interesting. Is this Qi Tianyue the third son of the Gold Demon Sect Leader, Qi Lingfeng?"
"Yes, he's 217 years old this year and is a 7th-grade Sage-level 7th-rank!"
Feng Yun smiled faintly, "217 years old... Sage-level 7th-rank, and he's the runner-up. Night Demon is younger... a Venerable-level 4th-rank, and he's the champion. Did Qi Tianyue grow up on pills?"
"Taking pills is inevitable. After all, the Gold Demon Sect has ample resources. But Qi Tianyue is indeed a talent. He grew up surrounded by the sect, so he should be better at managing sect affairs than Night Demon. Moreover, the Gold Demon Sect Leader sent over fifty capable individuals to support his son's development in the Southeast."
"During his time in the Southeast, Qi Tianyue also targeted the Three Saints Sect, but he couldn't find them. Among the junior sect leaders who arrived with him, Qi Tianyue has already killed six, more than Night Demon's count!"
Feng Yi sighed.
"Why sigh over killing so many?"
Feng Yun asked curiously.
"When Qi Tianyue announced his appointment, he added many junior sect leaders to his Five Spirit Toad Communication Jade, saying it was for future mutual support and alliance in the martial world."
"But after arriving, he used the Communication Jade to gather them, saying they should complete the task together as allies. He lured them over and then had the Gold Demon Sect's fifty experts surround and kill them... This is a bit underhanded."
Feng Yi spoke without restraint, "If he killed them with his true abilities, I wouldn't say anything. But to lure them here and then have fifty Gold Demon Sect experts surround and kill them..."
"What junior sect leader could withstand such a situation?"
Feng Er also felt indignant, "Although the rules allow any means, this... is a bit too despicable."
Feng Yun smiled wryly.
"Since the rules allow it, we can't do anything. We can't say anything."
Feng Yun said, "Moreover, those junior sect leaders who were fooled by him... with such brains, they don't deserve to live.
So, Qi Tianyue has already completed the Sect Foundation?"
"Yes, he killed over a dozen Guardians and elite rescuers. Moreover, he slaughtered over four thousand civilians and over eighty thousand demonic beasts... completing his foundation for the Golden Cloud Sect."
Feng Yi curled his lips. "This quality, compared to the Night Demon Sect... is like the difference between heaven and earth."
"The Night Demon Sect is also ruthless, but their ruthlessness is in their brutality, slaughter, and overwhelming strength."
Feng Yun said, "This Qi Tianyue is a bit... tsk, he's blind."
"Hehe."
Both Feng Yi and Feng Er chuckled.
"This time, both of them are coming to report... they will definitely meet at the Southeast Headquarters."
Feng Yun said indifferently, "Let them meet, I want to see the true colors of these two men in the jianghu."
"Yes, Young Master."
Feng Yun continued indifferently, "They are both unruly and arrogant, ruthless, and unscrupulous. They are both leaders of their sects and champions and runners-up. The collision between these two people should not disappoint me."
He suddenly laughed and said, "The Night Demon will definitely not disappoint me, I just want to see what Qi Tianyue is made of."
"The Night Demon is indeed impressive. However..."
"Is he coming alone?" Feng Yi asked.
"Yes. He just sent me a message asking for the location, and he specifically mentioned coming alone. It's said that the others are busy with manual labor, constructing the Night Demon Sect."
Feng Yun couldn't help but laugh.
"This is... tsk... making Sage Level experts do manual labor, this operation is..."
Feng Yi clicked his tongue, not knowing what to say.
"But Qi Tianyue is bringing fifty experts with him, quite a grand entrance."
Feng Er said, "The Night Demon might be at a disadvantage in terms of presence."
A flash of disdain appeared in Feng Yun's eyes, and he said indifferently, "Coming with all their forces, is this not a sign of weakness? If they are afraid of our Southeast Headquarters, then they are already inferior to the Night Demon."
He then said decisively, "The Night Demon might not be at a disadvantage. Have you forgotten that during the Yanggu Chengshen Plan, he alone dominated the group, slaughtering tens of thousands of experts... tsk, what a ruthless killer!"
"But the Golden Demon Sect experts coming this time are numerous, and there are even several at the Ninth Grade Sage Level. Qi Lingfeng is sending all his elites to pave the way for his son."
"It's just a pity that Qi Lingfeng himself is only at the First Grade Sage King level. If he were higher, he might have sent a Sage King... are they just here to protect their master and gain some glory?"
Feng Er was very dissatisfied.
"Haha."
Feng Yun laughed.
Just then, someone came to deliver a message: "Reporting to the Chief Commander, the Golden Cloud Sect's Sect Leader, Qi Tianyue, has arrived."
"Fifty-one people?"
"Yes."
"Arrange for them to wait at the Martial Arena."
"Yes."
The messenger left.
Feng Yi's mouth twitched. "Sir, the Martial Arena?"
"Of course."
Feng Yun said, "We have to give them a place to fight. Do you think these two Sect Leaders will just argue when they meet?"
"..."
After a while, a gust of cold wind seemed to rush in from outside, and a hidden killing intent rose from the ground.
This time, no one needed to report.
Feng Yun laughed, "The Night Demon has arrived."
Indeed.
A voice rang out like the clash of metal and stone, shaking the sky: "Your subordinate, the Night Demon Sect's Sect Leader, Night Demon, has come to report!"
The voice rumbled like rolling thunder across the sky.
Just from hearing this voice, one could imagine him brandishing a knife to kill.
The malevolent qi surged like a tide, rising in waves.
Everyone at the Southeast Headquarters trembled, their faces showing strange expressions.
This was indeed... since the establishment of the Only Righteous Sect's Southeast Headquarters, this was the first time a subordinate sect had been so arrogant!
In the hall, Wu Xiang, now the Deputy Chief Administrator, sighed.
The Night Demon has arrived.
He truly had an impressive presence.
This killing intent, this aura, this mighty force, like the trampling of thousands of troops and horses...
Yin Shen Gong was indeed going to rely on this disciple.
This was already a foreseeable outcome.
A voice hummed, "Night Demon, you've come, so what's with all this killing intent? Does the Southeast Headquarters still have someone you want to kill?"
"Wherever I go, I'm like this. I'm used to showing off, and if I don't do it for a day, I feel uncomfortable all over. Please forgive this minor flaw of mine, Chief Commander."
Feng Yun spat, "Let this show-off come in."
The door of the Southeast Headquarters opened.
The bearded Night Demon strode in.
He had shaved yesterday, but today he needed to grow his beard, and that was no problem for Sect Leader Fang.
Whoosh! It appeared! Whoosh! It disappeared.
And it could be long or short, thick or thin, soft or hard, as Sect Leader Fang wished...
After entering, someone naturally greeted him: "Night Demon, the Chief Commander has arranged for you to wait in the Martial Arena."
Fang Che couldn't quite understand: "The Martial Arena? Do you want me to demonstrate how I kill?" Is Feng Yun's taste so heavy?
Fang Che strode in with a tiger-like gait, following the guide to the Martial Arena's hall. Upon entering, he saw that there were already over fifty people sitting and waiting inside.
Qiche was truly startled!
What?
There are actually so many young sect masters who have completed the sect foundation in the Southeast Headquarters now? Fifty-one people!
This is outrageous!
If one sect foundation is calculated as having over fifty thousand people, then these bastards have already killed nearly three million of our people?
Qiche's heart was instantly filled with murderous intent.
His eyes were like knives, scanning the faces of the fifty-odd people, and finally, he let out a sigh of relief: Oh, it seems like they're a group, and all of these people are led by the one in the middle. Is this a sect leader with so many subordinates?
A sect leader wouldn't be so foolish. Since they've come here, they must have killed quite a few people; otherwise, they wouldn't have come to report. This is obvious.
Qiche's heart was filled with malice, thinking, "This bastard is reporting in and bringing so many people with him. Does this idiot want to dance a group dance here to entertain Feng Yun?" So he pondered, "How can I kill them?"
Inside the hall, Feng Yun, who was already seated, laughed and transmitted a message to Feng Yi: "These two guys, as soon as they meet, without even speaking, they already have murderous intent towards each other. Qi Tianyue's murderous intent is hidden, but Night Demon's killing intent is blatant and reckless."
Feng Yi transmitted back: "There's no way around it. With these two guys, it would be strange if they didn't clash."
Feng Yun smiled and said, "Then, who do you think will provoke first?"
Feng Yi replied without hesitation: "Qi Tianyue has an absolute advantage in numbers, and he was harshly suppressed by Night Demon in the Yanggu Chengshen Plan. I estimate that Qi Tianyue will be the one to start the dispute."
Feng Yun shook his head: "Not necessarily. With Night Demon's arrogant temperament, it's definitely him who will provoke the dispute."
In the martial arena.
After Qiche entered, the person in the middle frowned, then stood up and said with a smile: "Night Demon brother, it's been a long time. Your style is as impressive as ever, and your reputation has shaken the world even more. It's truly enviable."
Oh.
He's talking to me? If he doesn't pay attention to me, it's really hard for me to find an excuse to provoke and anger him proactively. After all, this is Feng Yun's territory, and this guy might not give me face. But you're taking the initiative to provoke me?
Let me give you a knife and let you kill me first.
Qiche sat on a large, imposing chair, his long legs stretched out, half-reclining, exuding an air of unparalleled arrogance and indifference. He rolled his eyes and said, "Who the hell are you? Are we familiar with each other?"
Instantly, several people on the opposite side snorted in anger.
This Night Demon was so arrogant!
But before anyone could speak, Night Demon's scornful voice rang out: "You dare to say you're the runner-up of the Yanggu Chengshen Plan? I'm the undisputed champion, and compared to me, you're all a bunch of misfits! In my eyes, you're nothing but a mob! What runner-up? You're just a tall midget among dwarfs, and you actually think of yourself as the runner-up? You're truly shameless!"
Instantly, Qi Tianyue exploded.
Night Demon's words were truly hurtful, and they hit right where it hurt the most.
Because it was indeed a huge gap, and while being the runner-up was an honor, such a huge disparity made it feel like a joke!
Someone else scored a thousand points and became the champion.
You scored forty points and became the runner-up.
This... it was truly hard to describe, and it was difficult to compare. Facing Night Demon's arrogant words, Qi Tianyue couldn't even find the words to retort.
In his anger, Qi Tianyue coldly said, "Night Demon, it seems like you intentionally want to make an enemy out of my Gold Cloud Sect? I advise you to think clearly and not do something you'll regret."
