Chapter 757: Yan Nan's Headache [Part 2]

Chapter 757: Yan Nan's Headache [Part 2]



"!!!"

Dong Fang San San immediately wanted to block and delete Fang Yun Zheng.

With a dark expression, she directly cut off the communication.

It seems that keeping this guy idle and out of sight is indeed the wisest decision I've made!

In fact, Dong Fang San San is the most helpless with Fang Lao Liu, because they were her first batch of brothers during her initial journey in the martial world.

It's as if... even if you become a deity, in the eyes of those childhood friends who grew up with you, you're still just a leftover dog...

Fang Lao Liu and Dong Fang San San are like this, and even closer than that.

So, although Fang Lao Liu's battle prowess is not as strong as Xue Fu Xiao, Yu Tian Qi, and the others, Xue Fu Xiao and the others dare not be disrespectful to Dong Fang San San, but Fang Lao Liu leaves Dong Fang San San helpless.

Damn it, I can only curse myself: Why did I become brothers with him back then!

Aside from that... there's basically no other option.

During this time, the Night Demon Sect has been constantly active.

Fang Che never imagined that his communication jade in the battle zone would be completely useless, unable to send out any messages, and remotely commanding the Night Demon Sect has become a mere fantasy.

This caught him completely off guard.

Before leaving, he only gave Ding Jue Ran one task: "Rob for money! Rob for resources!"

And Ding Jue Ran did not disappoint.

They have already robbed many places, and even intercepted several escorts from the Big Saber Escort Agency.

Of course, Ding Jue Ran didn't spare the World Escort Agency either, fiercely robbing several of their important escorts.

So now, the Big Saber Escort Agency is issuing hero invitations across the land, gathering friends from the martial world to deal with the Night Demon Sect.

The two head escorts of the World Escort Agency, Zhao Wu Shang and Zheng Yun Qi, couldn't reach the Star Sect Leader, so they could only secretly contact the forces they could mobilize.

Damn it, this Night Demon Sect is simply too immature!

Regarding the Night Demon Sect's actions, Feng Yun is relatively at ease, after all, the sect leader is currently on a secret mission and should be in the Guardian Battle Zone...

The sect members are acting on their own, and since the sect leader is currently unreachable, the Night Demon Sect is even more out of contact.

Even if there are any objections, they can only endure.

Fortunately... nothing major has happened.

Of course, during Ding Jue Ran's leadership of the Night Demon Sect's raids, they also eradicated two small sects that came down from the southeast... cough, it's not that important.

Fang Che asked Yan Xi Feng, "With such a great hero returning, shouldn't the Guardian's high-ranking officials escort me, with banners flying high, clearing the way with gongs, and everyone kneeling in my presence?"

Yan Xi Feng smiled without a trace of humor, "It should be, it's too right."

Then, he threw Fang Che out.

With a flick of his hand, he tossed Fang Che hundreds of li away, onto the mountain.

"Go if you want, stay if you don't!"

Fang Che stood in front of the massive mountain stele, 'Glory and Wealth, Turn Back Here, Fear Death, Do Not Ascend This Mountain', and his entire body went numb.

Is this how you treat a meritorious official?

Just the other day, he was so grateful to me that he was almost licking my shoes.

Today, he was thrown out hundreds of li away with just one arm.

Fang Che was furious.

These three days were wasted, right? I asked about Mo Gan Yun and the others, but there's no news at all. The mystic realm is sealed, and once you enter, there's no news.

Unless they come out.

Otherwise... the outside world won't know anything.

Of course, Fang Che didn't know that because of his actions, the Guardian's fortune power has greatly increased, and the spirit qi has become even denser. Now, the spirit qi within the mystic realm is almost on par with the Only Righteous Sect's mystic realm.

Standing before the mountain stele,

After cursing Yan Xi Feng, Fang Che had no choice but to leave.

Before leaving, he tidied up his appearance, stood straight, and saluted the mountain stele.

Then, he turned around and once again crossed the wind-swept desert.

Along the way, he was speechless.

I never thought I'd be returning so soon...

However, Zhao Shanhe was overjoyed when Fang Che returned to the southeast. He originally thought that with Fang Che's departure, he would surely rise rapidly and wouldn't return to the southeast.

Now, joy has descended from the heavens!

Fang Che has returned! Although he has risen rapidly, it's in the southeast where he has risen.

So, Zhao Shanhe quickly initiated personnel changes in the Law Enforcement Hall, Battle Hall, and Patrol Hall.

Various reports were submitted.

The leaders of each department were replaced with those who were weaker, skilled in administration, and knew how to assist.

"When Chief Fang takes office, we must cooperate well."

Before Fang Che even left the battle zone to return, Zhao Shanhe had already swiftly arranged everything.

The Only Righteous Sect lost a mystic realm.

Yan Nan was furious!

The battle report from the battle zone provided a detailed account, and Yan Nan had his own secret channels.

"Feng Family disciples. Bi Family Mystic Realm."

Yan Nan hummed.

He focused on the final battle report.

"In the previous ninety-nine hours, Fang Tu was cunning and didn't reveal his identity. He only kept rescuing people, delaying time, and in less than an hour, Fang Tu suddenly appeared, exposing his identity. He showed mercy to the Bi Family's main lineage disciples, refraining from slaughter, and said he wanted to save face..."

"Fang Tu's original words... were to unify the mystic realm... without seeking death or vengeance, just seeking this mystic realm... to give face..."

Upon reading this, Yan Nan's anger reached the brink of explosion!

"Damn it! You damn unifier of the mystic realm, what are you explaining?

"You're being merciful to your opponent, but you have no intention of killing your enemy? What nonsense is this? What does it mean to have no intention of killing your enemy? Are you saying we're not mortal enemies? You're truly brainless!"

"You're even concerned about your reputation! You, a mere Guardian, what reputation do you have to worry about?!"

Yan Nan angrily slammed his palm on the table.

His anger shifted from the loss of the Mystic Realm to the infuriating incompetence of the Night Demon Sect.

He understood the Night Demon Sect's intention: they couldn't afford to offend the Bi Family. From their perspective, this explanation was necessary.

Otherwise, once their identities were exposed, Bi Changhong could make their lives a living hell.

But the more he understood, the angrier he became.

In the Mystic Realm, they were ordered to unify, and once unified, it would be a battle to the death within a hundred hours. If they didn't want to die, they had to kill.

This was as clear as day!

Who would blame them?

But they were being merciful, appearing at the last moment, not killing anyone throughout most of the process, and still wanting to save face...

All these shenanigans...

"Are you trying to make sure the enemy knows you're a spy?"

Yan Nan was speechless.

However, what infuriated him the most wasn't this, but the Night Demon Sect's helplessness and correctness. Because if he were in their position, his response would likely be the same as the Night Demon Sect's.

Because... how dare a subordinate demon offend Vice Sect Leader Bi? They had to scramble to provide explanations, which was necessary.

He couldn't even scold them, but this situation had left Yan Nan exasperated.

Could he blame the Bi Family? The Bi Family had been loyal and dedicated, suffering heavy casualties. What wrong had they done?

Could he blame the Night Demon Sect? The Night Demon Sect, in their helplessness, not only showed mercy but also refrained from killing throughout the entire process, only seeking to complete the task given to them. What wrong had the Night Demon Sect done?

They were caught in a difficult situation, and if they didn't act this way, wouldn't they be slaughtered by the Bi Family? So, the Night Demon Sect wasn't wrong either.

But if no one was at fault, why did the Only Righteous Sect lose a Mystic Realm, and why was Yan Nan so furious that he couldn't find an outlet for his anger?

The spy reported the relevant information.

"...After investigation, it was found that upon entering the Battle Zone, Fang Tu was appointed as the deputy captain of the Feng Family's first team. The captain, Feng Dao, is about to break through the rejection stage, and Yan Xi Feng appointed Fang Tu, giving him a death order to capture a Mystic Realm..."

After reading this, Yan Nan felt like he couldn't breathe, as if the air was stuck in his chest.

For half a day, he couldn't exhale this breath, nor could he swallow it down.

He understood that such an arrangement by Dong Fang San San was the standard procedure for the other side, as the Life and Death Patrol Squad would be disbanded upon anyone's inspection.

From the perspective of the higher-ups, all eight individuals must undergo the next phase of key cultivation.

The key cultivation involved either going to the headquarters' Mystic Realm for secluded cultivation or heading to the Battle Zone for tempering. However, the most correct path should have been... to first experience life-and-death tempering in the Battle Zone and then bring back the insights and battle prowess gained to cultivate in the headquarters' Mystic Realm.

Given Fang Tu's reputation and battle prowess, how could Yan Xi Feng not assign him an important task after sending him to the Battle Zone? The Guardian's Mystic Realm had just been invaded and three realms were lost. How could Yan Xi Feng bear this? Although they had immediately recaptured the realms and restored the stalemate, Yan Xi Feng still needed to produce results. Otherwise, how could he, as the newly appointed Grand Marshal, explain the loss of three Mystic Realms?

After understanding all this, Yan Nan became even more frustrated.

The Night Demon Sect was his people!

Yan Nan was so furious that he couldn't find an outlet for his anger, so he could only call the head of the intelligence department and give him a piece of his mind.

Just then, Ning Zai Fei came to challenge him.

Tian Wang Xiao had been shelved, almost to the point of being confined, and he was on the verge of developing problems from the confinement. He couldn't take it anymore.

"I've lost my entire family, and now I'm being confined? I'm one of the top ten on the Cloud Armament Ranking, and now I've become a nervous wreck?!"

So, he went to find Yan Nan, his aura filled with rage.

Yan Nan was already furious and had nowhere to vent his anger. When he saw Ning Zai Fei challenging him, he immediately thundered, "You haven't cleaned up the mess you caused for the entire sect with your ass yet, and now you want to go out and cause more trouble?!"

"You can't even accomplish anything, and now you're causing more trouble?!"

"Do you think the trouble you've caused isn't big enough?!"

"Are you trying to make me die of anger?!"

"..."

Yan Nan's thunderous rage made Tian Wang Xiao want to burrow into the ground, blinking his small eyes in confusion and bewilderment.

What... did I do now?

I've been confined! I've been confined for so long! I heard that the sect needs people right now, and even the Chief Elder has been ambushed. So, I hurried here to volunteer my services for the sect!

What crime have I committed?

Why do I suddenly feel like my crimes are so great that only death can atone for them?

"Get out and wait for me to treat you to a meal!"

Yan Nan roared like thunder.

Ning Zai Fei retreated, his face full of confusion, and he didn't leave until he was outside. He still looked bewildered: What did I do today?

How did they offend Vice Sect Leader Bi?

Yan Nan's voice, as powerful as a mountain, echoed out, "Call Bi Changhong here!"

The administrative staff hurriedly rushed in to report, "Vice Sect Leader Yan, Vice Sect Leader Bi has already led a team out to support Elder Duan..."

"Slap!"

A cup was smashed inside.

Yan Nan communicated with the Five Spirit Toad and took out the communication jade, contacting Bi Changhong.

He couldn't reach Bi Changhong because the Bi Family would definitely seek revenge, and Fang Che's side must emerge after the Annihilation Battle.

With the Bi Family's strength seeking revenge against Fang Che, it would be like a death sentence.

Once the Bi Family initiates their revenge, Fang Che's death is certain. No matter how talented he is, he can't withstand the endless retaliation of the Bi Family from the Only Me Religion! Even with the protection of the Guardian's high-ranking officials, he wouldn't be safe.

But the biggest issue lies here: if the Bi Family doesn't seek revenge, it would be even more unreasonable. Your family suffered such a huge loss and you just let it go? Is this still the Bi Family of Bi Changhong? Not to mention the question of whether it's reasonable for the Bi Family to swallow this, but if the Bi Family doesn't seek revenge, from the Guardian's perspective, is it reasonable?

Why wouldn't the Bi Family seek revenge? If the other party deduces that Fang Che is one of your people, wouldn't all your plans be ruined? Moreover, Fang Che has a history of issues. He was just teaching Sun Yuan's disciples, and wasn't that matter resolved recently?

Now, with this new incident, it would be natural for people to suspect he's an informant. Yan Nan truly feels a headache, his mind is in turmoil, because no matter what, the situation is developing in an extremely awkward manner! If you suppress the Bi Family's revenge, what reason would you give to the Guardians?

If you let things take their natural course and allow the Bi Family to seek revenge, then the Night Demon Sect will be finished.

You neither allow nor support the Bi Family's revenge, but you want the matter to be within a completely controllable range, ensuring the Guardians don't suspect anything while also making it acceptable for the Only Me Religion... Is this not awkward?

When did I start considering both sides? Yan Nan's mind is in disarray.

The communication connected.

"What's the matter?" Bi Changhong sent a message.

"There's something I need to discuss with you. I have a headache, and I seek your advice." Yan Nan said.

At this moment, Bi Changhong became delighted. Yan Nan, the Fifth Elder, is seeking his advice on a matter he can't handle.

He proudly said to Chen Gu and Wu Xiao beside him, "Elder Yan is encountering a problem, and he's asking for my advice!"

Chen Gu and Wu Xiao were both shocked. "How is this possible? Elder Yan can't handle a matter, and he's seeking your advice? What makes you qualified?"

"If you don't believe me, look at this."

Bi Changhong showed them the communication jade, displaying Yan Nan's request for advice.

Bi Changhong rarely had such a glorious moment, mainly because his split personality was too frightening, and people usually wouldn't seek his counsel.

Now, with Yan Nan taking the initiative to consult him, this was the first time in ten thousand years! Especially with his sworn brothers, who knew the details of his past experiences, watching by his side, Bi Changhong felt incredibly pleased.

Fearing that these two wouldn't look carefully, he pulled them aside to a shaded area to communicate with Yan Nan.

He even let the two of them watch the entire conversation, acting proudly, "You two watch, and see the wisdom of your Sixth Brother. Also, help me come up with ideas. Ah, the phrase is called 'supplementing the deficiencies', right?"

Chen Gu and Wu Xiao exchanged glances, both feeling incredulous.

Could Elder Yan have gone crazy? Why is he consulting Elder Bi for advice... What is he thinking? Consulting us would be better than consulting Elder Bi, right?

He might give you a solution today, only to completely overturn it tomorrow and give you another solution.

Then, the day after, he might think of something else and overturn it again...

What's there to discuss with a madman like this?

So, the two of them were also curious and leaned in to take a look.

In the shade, the words on the communication jade were exceptionally clear, a point that Bi Changhong had considered thoughtfully.

Yan Nan began to send messages to this side.

Endlessly, he transmitted the battle zone's intelligence and added his own analysis.

Then he asked, "Elder Bi, what do you think should be done about this matter?"

Chen Gu and Wu Xiao, who had watched the entire conversation, forced themselves to suppress their laughter, "Elder Bi, please reply quickly. Elder Yan is waiting."

"I fucking..."

Bi Changhong's face twisted.

So many people from my family died?

Killed by the Night Demon Sect? And you're asking me how to protect them?

His face turned dark, filled with anger, and he glared at Chen Gu and Wu Xiao with fierce eyes, "You two, get lost!"

"But you called us over."

The two of them moved closer, "We're here to help you, Elder Bi. Come on, Elder Yan is waiting..."

Now, these two would never leave Bi Changhong's communication jade.

They were invited to witness such a big spectacle, and if they didn't see it to the end, it would be a lifelong regret.

Bi Changhong's face turned ashen, and his breathing became labored, "Then, what do you two think should be done?"

"

"Isn't this your family's business?"

Chen Gu spoke up, "We're just here to fill in the gaps, Sixth Brother. Do you know what it means to fill in the gaps? It's when you propose a plan, and then we supplement and correct it based on your suggestions. That's what filling in the gaps means."

"Yes, yes, Seventh Brother is right."

Wu Xiao chuckled and said, "Sixth Brother, it seems Fifth Brother is indeed stumped by this issue. Please come up with a solution quickly."

"Damn it! Over ten thousand people in my family were killed by the Night Demon Sect, and now he wants me to find a way to protect them!" Bi Changhong was exasperated and roared.

"Is this something a person can say?" Bi Changhong was furious.

Chen Gu and Wu Xiao each held Bi Changhong's shoulders, sighing heavily and trying to console him, "It's all for the greater good."

"Screw you both!" Bi Changhong exploded.

"Get lost, both of you!" Bi Changhong shouted, his face contorted.

He then reread the message from Yan Nan, his face twisting with each word. Fetch and send...

Chen Gu and Wu Xiao also furrowed their brows, deep in thought.

Although they were joking, when it came to serious matters, they had to engage in the discussion.

As they thought and read, their faces twisted in unison.

Silence filled the room for a long time.

Dong Fang San San, who had arrived with them, approached and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Have you finished cooking for your wife?"

Bi Changhong didn't hold back, "Why are you, a cook, worrying so much? Take Hundred Battle Saber with you and get to work!"

Dong Fang San San: "..."

Hundred Battle Saber watched from a distance, knowing his place and not daring to approach.

Sure enough, Dong Fang San San was scolded and sent away, a mischievous smile spreading across his face.

"Brother Ji, you got scolded?" Hundred Battle Saber chuckled.

"What did you call me?" Dong Fang San San was displeased, hearing it as 'Brother Ji Eight'.

"I mean, what should we do?"

"Let's go first and take the lead, so the Chief doesn't collapse from the pressure."

Dong Fang San San grabbed Hundred Battle Saber and hurried off, "Hurry up, I'll finish my work and go back to cook for my wife."

"Damn it... Grass! I'm risking my life, and I have to eat dog food along the way!"

Hundred Battle Saber, the eternal bachelor, muttered to himself.

He followed Dong Fang San San and flew away.

Bi Changhong sighed, sat on the ground, stretched his long legs, and looked helpless, "You two, what should we do?"

Chen Gu and Wu Xiao's faces turned as dark as iron.

"It's a difficult situation... If the Bi Family doesn't retaliate, the Night Demon Sect will survive; if they retaliate, the Night Demon Sect will be destroyed. A mild retaliation is no better than no retaliation at all. How can we not retaliate for the blood feud of ten thousand people?"

"Even if the main family doesn't retaliate, the branch families must retaliate."

"The problem is that the Night Demon Sect is too weak now. If we retaliate, they'll be wiped out."

"Moreover, since this incident has occurred, Dong Fang San San will definitely have made arrangements. There's enough power hidden there, waiting for the Bi Family's retaliation, like a trap."

"If we don't take action... Haha, it's like a louse on a bald head. It's obvious."

"But if we retaliate..."

Wu Xiao said, "Sixth Brother, what do you think? How do you view your family?"

Bi Changhong's face fell, and he said, "You say I don't care, but how is that possible? If I show indifference, it'll dishearten millions below. That's for sure, right?"

"That's true. Even if you don't care, you should have an attitude." They agreed. Today's Bi Changhong was still reasonable.

"You say I care, but I'm not that concerned."

Speaking to his brothers, Bi Changhong had nothing to hide, "Although I'm not as cold-hearted as White Old Eight, after so many years of bloodline continuation, to be honest, I can't get close to her."

This was the absolute truth.

"But now, the issue isn't whether I care or not..."

Bi Changhong's face twisted, "It's so twisted... No matter what we do, it's inappropriate."

Wu Xiao suggested, "In that case, I have an idea."

"What idea?" Bi Changhong's eyes lit up.

"Tell him this: I'm good with anything, Fifth Brother, you decide." Wu Xiao said.

Bi Changhong was taken aback, stroking his chin, "This... I really can't think of anything."

So he replied to Yan Nan, "I'm good with anything, Fifth Brother, you decide."

Yan Nan's roar seemed to leap from the words, "Tell Wu Xiao to get lost!! After so many years, he can't do anything, but dropping the responsibility is his specialty!"

Wu Xiao's face fell, and he quickly said, "How about this, you send a few people to their deaths, and then, for retaliation, slaughter a Guardian city. That way, we have both the gesture and the attitude."

Bi Changhong sent the message again, without changing a word.

Yan Nan's roar followed, "Tell Wu Xiao to get lost! He's either dropping responsibilities or bloodthirsty, always slaughtering cities. Will he ever have a brain?"
