Chapter 773: Three Thousand Year Cycle - The Guest Alliance Leader's Additional Chapter
Chapter 773: Three Thousand Year Cycle - The Guest Alliance Leader's Additional Chapter
The Murong family's side branches and descendants probably never dreamed that one day, they would be blessed with such an unexpected opportunity, as if the heavens had dropped a pie right onto their heads!
Everyone went crazy.
A frenzy of power struggles ensued.
After all, the original family head, ancestor, elders, overseers, eldest branch, and main lineage... were all dead!
Everyone in the Murong family who held power was gone, not a single one left.
Those who hurried back from outside naturally had to discuss: since the family was being rebuilt, who would be the leader?
Among these people, there were a few who belonged to the main lineage.
They naturally argued their case: isn't it only right for the main lineage to inherit?
But the biggest problem was that the strength of the main lineage, compared to the swarming side branches, was far inferior! So, in the midst of the dispute, the five surviving descendants of the main lineage who had returned from outside suddenly died of extreme grief.
This death was too coincidental, too suspicious, and too crude.
The others started preparing for the funeral again, their wails shaking the heavens.
And under the guise of being "filial grandsons," they prepared to bury these people.
The benefit was that with these people dead, there were no aggrieved parties, and thus no one to file complaints.
In the midst of funeral preparations...
Suddenly, the old, weak, women, and children of the main lineage were sent back by the Guardian Hall.
This was like a bolt from the blue, right?
Although they were old and weak, and although they were children, they were the true descendants of the Murong family's main lineage!
On this point, no one could argue otherwise.
The funeral suddenly became awkward.
When the old, weak, and women and children returned and saw this situation, they immediately understood what the side branches were up to, unless they were fools.
But the main lineage had already been wiped out, and they had no more fighting power to speak of.
So, without entering the house, they knelt and begged the Guardian Hall to uphold justice.
After all, returning home to face death, even a fool could see this.
If the Guardian Hall forced them to return home, it would be no different from killing them! So, the Guardian Hall didn't dare to do this.
And after these old and weak returned, the first thing they did was to report all the side branches.
Request one, preserve the bodies of the main lineage descendants and investigate the cause of their deaths.
Request two, the side branches must return the family's property.
Request three, the Guardian must uphold justice for us.
As for those who died before, they were killed by the demon head Sun Wuti of the Night Demon Sect, and we are powerless to pursue this. When our children grow up, they will naturally seek revenge.
This was a good excuse, as the dead had no complainants, and thus no one to file complaints.
But the Murong family's property belongs to our main lineage, what right do the side branches have to occupy and possess it?
Moreover, they killed our main lineage descendants?
If the Guardian doesn't uphold justice for us, with only helpless orphans and widows left, how can we survive?
Wouldn't we be like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of the side branches? They could kill us however they wanted, play with us however they wished?
So, with the prestige of the meritorious Murong family, the old and weak demanded justice from the Guardian, and the Guardian had to accept their request.
But the Murong family was, after all, a fifth-level family, and the Guardian Hall had no authority to handle their affairs.
So, this matter... after many twists and turns, could only be transferred to the Southeast Command Center.
And the department in charge of such matters in the Southeast Command Center was, of course, the Law Enforcement Hall.
And the Law Enforcement Hall's Chief, Fang Che, had yet to report for duty.
Tsk...
In any case, it had come back to Fang Che, and this matter had to be described as incredibly strange.
Of course, Fang Che was currently sleeping, unaware of the busy, tedious, and headache-inducing tasks that awaited him.
The Law Enforcement Hall was waiting for him.
The Surveillance Hall was waiting for him.
The Military Affairs Hall was waiting for him!
The Heavenly Escort Bureau was waiting for him!
The Night Demon Sect was waiting for him!
The Soloist Sect was waiting for him.
And there were also the tasks he carried on his back, such as the small sect leaders he had captured.
And he had just experienced such a significant event himself!
If it were anyone else in Fang Che's position, they would probably wish to never wake up from this sleep.
Sleeping for a few months would be much better than this chaotic and stressful situation.
The Soloist Sect Headquarters.
Yan Nan had gathered all the demon heads for a meeting.
Last time, when Chen Gu and the others brought back Duan Xi Yang, the intelligence provided by Dong Fang San San was given the highest level of attention by Yan Nan.
Finally, today, everyone was assembled, and the closed-door cultivators, Yu Han Yan and Xiong Jiang, were called out, which took a bit of time.
But this was fine, as they had to first investigate according to Dong Fang San San's information.
All the files of the Faceless Tower were thoroughly investigated.
"The Faceless Tower, probably appeared about two thousand nine hundred years ago, and initially, it was just a small assassin organization."
"Over the years, they continuously took on missions and built their reputation in the dark world, using two thousand years to become the most mysterious assassin organization and the most recognized number one assassin organization in the world!"
"There's no commission they can't complete."
At this point, Yan Nan and the others' hearts skipped a beat.
"Two thousand nine hundred years ago! If we go back that far, things start to get a little fishy."
Yan Nan furrowed his brows and said, "This timing doesn't add up. If the Faceless Tower has a connection to the Divine Weasel Sect, or if it's directly under the sect, then why did it only appear two thousand nine hundred years ago? That's too short of a historical timeframe."
"If we follow this line of reasoning and confirm that the Faceless Tower belongs to the Divine Weasel Sect, then can we also conclude that the sect itself appeared around two thousand nine hundred years ago?"
"According to the Faceless Tower's mission records, it was two thousand nine hundred years ago when they first accepted a contract and left their mark, targeting only weak opponents... This implies that the history of the Divine Weasel Sect and the Faceless Tower is at most around three thousand years, right?"
Yan Nan tapped his fingers on the table, deep in thought. "A sect with a three-thousand-year foundation, how could it possibly have a deity?"
This question left everyone stumped.
Indeed, the Sky Scorpion Deity appeared tens of thousands of years ago. If the Divine Weasel Sect had a deity, theoretically, it should have appeared around the same time as the Sky Scorpion Deity.
Three thousand years... Is that even possible? It doesn't add up at all.
"Let's pause here for a moment."
Yan Nan controlled the node and said, "Investigate what major event happened three thousand years ago."
With this specific timeframe, the search became much easier.
Especially with the Soloist Sect's highly efficient intelligence system, the results came quickly.
Yu Han Yan was the first to find the node.
"Fifth Brother, during that period, our fortune was controlled. It was when our eldest brother emerged from seclusion, punching the divine mountain, defying heaven, and striking down the gods. He thwarted Dong Fang San San's plan to exterminate his family, allowing the fortune of heaven to flow again, restoring the Soloist Sect's fortune. This is the first point."
"Many of our core strengths were born during that period."
"After our eldest brother used his supreme might to defy heaven and alter fortune, the Guardian Continent lost all its fortune. At that time, the Guardian's spirit array tried to seize our fortune."
"But our eldest brother's cultivation was unparalleled, with no one before or after him. His methods were beyond the understanding of others, so the Guardian could only resort to self-sacrifice. This led to the sixth person in the Heavenly Surveillance, Fang Yun Zheng, taking action."
"Fang Yun Zheng's cultivation was far inferior to our eldest brother's, but at that time, he had reached the pinnacle of the era. He burned his soul and sacrificed himself, sending something said to be the Heart of Heaven Jade into the sky. Then, a celestial array formed in the sky, dividing three-tenths of our fortune. From then on, the heavenly mechanism became completely muddled, and it could never be changed again."
"White Robe Milky Way's Fang Yun Zheng was struck by countless heavenly thunders and died on the spot, his soul scattered. But from then on, the Guardian gained a portion of our fortune!"
"Not long after Fang Yun Zheng's death, the Heavenly Surveillance organization officially disbanded, fragmented, and was destroyed, leaving only Tian Qi, who is now known as Feng Yun Qi."
"This is all that happened during that period, and it's related to the heavenly mechanism's turmoil and the heavenly way."
Yu Han Yan, the guest minister in the clouds, spoke clearly, recounting the events like a cherished family heirloom.
At this point, Yan Nan interrupted, "In other words, that period was when the heavenly mechanism was truly in turmoil! The heavenly mechanism was disturbed!"
"So, it's either because our Supreme Sect Leader defied heaven and struck down the gods, or perhaps it was Fang Yun Zheng's self-sacrifice... After the heavenly mechanism was muddled, the Divine Weasel Sect appeared!"
"In other words... The so-called deity of the Divine Weasel Sect is because the heavenly mechanism was confused, allowing them the opportunity to infiltrate this continent."
"And it's not the main body infiltrating. If it were, this continent would have been destroyed long ago. So, it should be like the Sky Scorpion Deity, with avatars, incarnations, or even just thoughts infiltrating the continent."
Yan Nan's mind raced, "Then, during that time, they secretly established the Divine Weasel Sect and introduced the Faceless Tower. With this deduction, things become very clear!"
"The Divine Weasel Sect has a deity, but its history is short."
"The reason the Divine Weasel Sect targets us, the Soloist Sect, is to compete with our Sky Scorpion Deity for fortune, or for something else we can't comprehend."
"This section can be concluded."
Yan Nan immediately ordered, "Investigate the Divine Weasel Sect's actions against us."
This wasn't difficult.
It didn't take long to find the answer.
"Indeed, it all happened after the ritual. Although not after every ritual, all the assassination attempts occurred after the Sky Scorpion Deity's ritual. And these rituals include the smaller rituals of subordinate sects."
"During these times, the Divine Weasel Sect targets the middle-level departments or the leaders of subordinate sects, the ones in charge."
"In other words, they can take something from us, but they are powerless against our high command."
"But now they're targeting Duan Xi Yang and Sun Wutian, which means they've gained the strength to target our high command."
"And if my speculation is correct, they acquired this strength by stealing from us during their repeated assassination attempts!"
Yan Nan's expression turned extremely grim.
