Chapter 780: The Rampant Night Demon Sect [Part 2]

Chapter 780: The Rampant Night Demon Sect [Part 2]



"You've finally become cautious, huh?" The Temple of the Seal God chuckled. "You, a ruthless killer, are actually afraid? Do you become more timid the longer you're in the world?"

"Cough, Master, you understand. It's fine if the people I killed before were just ordinary folks, but this time, it's the Bi family..." Fang Che's expression was filled with lingering fear.

"I'm not worried, am I? I'm telling you the truth, Master. This time, I'm truly scared."

"It's normal to have such worries. I'll report it. Don't worry." The Temple of the Seal God offered reassurance.

"Then, I'm fine for now." Fang Che left a message, "If I remember anything or if there's any oversight, I'll report it to you immediately. Please take care of yourself, Master. Once I'm free, I'll come to visit you."

"Alright, don't come. The people here are afraid of you to the bone." The Temple of the Seal God joked and then said with concern, "Be careful."

"Yes, Master."

Finally, the communication ended.

Fang Che heaved a long sigh of relief on his side, while the Temple of the Seal God also gently breathed out.

His eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

After this conversation with the Night Demon Sect, he truly felt the immense crisis that his disciple was about to face.

Sitting in his chair, he pondered for a long time, considering his words carefully before beginning his report to Yan Nan.

Without further delay, he said, "Subordinate pays respects to the Vice Sect Master. May the Vice Sect Master be safe. The Night Demon just sent me a message. This guy has been promoted again over there, and this time, it's a significant promotion, akin to soaring straight into the clouds. However, something happened. He was assassinated..."

"Additionally, the Night Demon mentioned many issues, and I believe it's necessary for the Vice Sect Master to make a decision."

The Temple of the Seal God forwarded the entire chat record with the Night Demon without any changes.

"The identity issue is a major concern. It's a significant hidden danger."

"Another issue is the Night Demon's resource problem."

Another chat record was sent.

"For now, that's all. The Night Demon is also quite confused over there. If there are any further developments, we will report them to the Vice Sect Master immediately."

At the headquarters of the Only Righteous Sect, Yan Nan frowned.

The Five Tigers General kept transporting the messages, sending them one after another.

The Temple of the Seal God's message arrived.

"So many..." Yan Nan's eyes flickered.

He took the communication jade and started reading from the beginning.

The first thing he saw was the promotion.

"Promotion is good news. It seems that Dong Fang San San is also happy about reclaiming the secret realm."

Yan Nan couldn't help but stroke his beard, a slight smile appearing on his face.

Then, he continued reading and came across the assassination.

He had already known about this matter, but regarding Zhao Ying'er's survival, he furrowed his brows tightly.

Due to this matter and the close relationship between Zhao Ying'er and Fang Che, Yan Nan had investigated Zhao Ying'er's inability to be killed, but to no avail.

Yan Nan and the others were completely baffled. How could this be?

Is there anyone who can't be killed no matter what?

This time, the head was blown up, the internal organs were destroyed, and the dantian was completely shattered, yet the person still survived?

Yan Nan was equally perplexed by this violation of common sense.

He and Chen Gu, Bi Changhong, and the others had started investigating long ago, but they hadn't found anything useful.

"Let's wait and see how this plays out. Perhaps it's just a false reassurance from the other party..."

"If this person truly survives again, then..." Yan Nan trailed off.

Yan Nan pondered, "At that time, we'll have to take action and kill them again to see if they can still survive... This matter, as Fang Che mentioned, must be investigated thoroughly. Otherwise, it will always be a cause for concern."

Yan Nan chose to ignore the hints in Fang Che's message about 'very important' and 'very fond'.

You like them? Does your liking make them immortal?

In the face of the sect's grand undertaking, everything must be sacrificed!

Yan Nan replied to the Temple of the Seal God, "The matter of Zhao Ying'er will be investigated by the sect."

He continued reading.

Then, there was new information.

"Oh, the person hired by the Murong Clan is actually from the Faceless Tower?" Yan Nan's interest was piqued.

"With this..." Yan Nan's eyes lit up, "The Murong Clan hiring the Faceless Tower to assassinate Fang Che... This means the Faceless Tower doesn't reject such assassination attempts on Fang Tu. In that case, the Bi family's plan might proceed more smoothly..."

"If this truly succeeds, then the next arrangement... The first and second waves of people must not be killed, and they must be allowed to escape. Let them go until they trigger an important figure."

"This matter must be communicated to Sun Wutian."

Yan Nan made a mental note to inform Sun Wutian after the matter was resolved and drew a line on the table with his fingernail.

He continued reading.

The other side mentioned Hai Wuliang, which made Yan Nan frown again. "Another connection... This Hai Wuliang is definitely related to the Divine Weasel Sect. It seems the One Heart Sect should also be watched... Perhaps we can also expose the Divine Weasel Sect through Hai Wuliang."

Yan Nan knitted his brows, carefully thinking, and step by step, various plans flashed through his mind.

"That's feasible!"

Yan Nan nodded thoughtfully.

On the adjacent table, he used his fingernail to draw another mark.

This proved that after reading this intelligence, he had two matters to attend to.

As for the Night Demon's concerns about the Bi family, Yan Nan decided to skip over it.

It wasn't a big deal, but there was no need to reply. Letting that little demon worry for a few days wouldn't hurt.

Then, as he continued reading, the issue of the Night Demon's exposed identity, which the Night Demon had brought up, caught Yan Nan's attention, causing him to take it very seriously! He realized that he had indeed overlooked this matter.

During the time the Night Demon was in the battlefield, he should have arranged for Sun Wutian to operate in the Southeast under the identity of the Night Demon Sect Leader.

But at that time, Sun Wutian's confusion had caused him to forget such an important matter.

"This... is a bit of a problem."

Yan Nan's face turned grave.

This was indeed his own oversight.

He couldn't blame the Night Demon for it.

He hadn't thought of it, and there was no need to shift all the responsibility onto his subordinates.

"How could there be a loophole here?"

Yan Nan's head seemed to swell, "How should I make up for this?"

"The Night Demon Sect Leader cannot appear for the time being!"

"Not even remote control! Wait for new instructions on this matter."

Yan Nan issued the order first.

Then he continued reading.

Another fingernail mark appeared on the adjacent table.

Next.

"Heavenly Escort Bureau, Starlight identity temporarily active? Promoted to Chief Patrol of the Only Righteous Sect?"

Yan Nan's mind flashed, and he seemed to grasp something.

Then he looked back and furrowed his brows in thought.

"Is Fang Che's main task now to eradicate the Night Demon Sect and suppress the minor sects entering the Southeast?"

Connecting these two points, Yan Nan suddenly had an idea.

"Perhaps it can be done like this... and then like this..."

Yan Nan heaved a sigh of relief.

He then sent a message to Sun Wutian, "You... do this and that..."

Then he sent another message to someone else, "Ji Hong, go to the Only Righteous Sect in the Southeast, act discreetly, and do this and that. Then deliver the resources on the list I gave you to the Temple of the Seal God."

"Yes, sir."

A reply came from the other side.

Yan Nan sighed.

In fact, the best person to handle this matter should be Tian Wang Xiao Ning Zaini, but Ning Zaini was currently on the wanted list.

If Ning Zaini appeared in the Southeast now, he might end up like a meat bun thrown to a dog, never to return. If he were surrounded by the Guardian Continent's top experts, it would be too normal for Ning Zaini to meet a tragic end.

Ji Hong's target was smaller, so it should be fine.

"There's so much to do!"

Yan Nan sighed.

Worrying was truly exhausting and tiring.

But at least... everything could be made up for.

Thinking of his own oversight, and then remembering Dong Fang San San's flawless calculations, her calm and profound gaze seemed to be looking at him again.

Yan Nan sighed.

Then he thought about Fang Che's assassination and Sun Wutian's action to eradicate the Murong Clan. Would Dong Fang San San notice anything? Fang Che had just been assassinated, and Sun Wutian had taken action immediately.

Would he connect the two events?

Yan Nan thought seriously. If it were him, he probably wouldn't make the connection. But Dong Fang San San might. What if he deduced that the Murong Clan was behind it?

But there was no evidence for that either, which was certain.

"Let's see what the Guardian Continent does. If Dong Fang San San doesn't make a move, then we'll treat it as if nothing happened. If he does, then let Sun Wutian take action again without reason and eradicate a few more sects."

"Killing so many people, could it all be because of Fang Che? Sun Wutian is already a demon, who can't he kill? When he's happy, he can slaughter a sect, and when he's not, he can still slaughter a sect. Does he need a reason..."

Yan Nan quickly figured out this matter.

But dealing with Dong Fang San San still required caution.

So Yan Nan wrote a phrase and hung it on the wall.

"Before entering this door, take a moment to reflect."

This was to remind himself.

Every time he entered the door, he would think about what he hadn't done well and consider it daily.

Knock knock.

"Fifth Brother."

Xiong Jiang arrived and pushed the door to enter.

"Fifth Brother, I want to..."

He glanced at Yan Nan hanging the phrase and paused, "Before entering this door, take a moment to reflect."

Xiong Jiang's sturdy body stiffened, and he closed his mouth tightly.

Then he stood straight, silent.

He began to reflect.

Yan Nan finished hanging the phrase and sat down, looking at Xiong Jiang.

Half a day passed without a word.

Yan Nan frowned, "Did you come here to stand as punishment?"

Xiong Jiang blinked in confusion, "Didn't you... tell me to reflect for a moment before speaking?"

Yan Nan was stunned.

He opened his mouth, then finally sighed, "Then you should reflect properly."

He plopped down on the chair.

He didn't speak anymore.

He really envied Dong Fang San San, always feeling that the intelligence over there was higher than here...

Look at this bunch of idiots...

...

Fang Che had been in a meeting with the Temple of the Seal God for half a day.

Outside, a long line had formed.

Finally, it was over.

Fang Che waved his hand to open the door, his brows furrowed and his face dark. "Just take a nap and rest for a while. You guys, why do you keep bringing me all these matters that need my personal attention?"

I pay you guys salaries and benefits every day, and you still can't even handle such simple tasks on your own? Haven't I delegated the authority?"

A torrent of curses poured down on Yin Guotang and Xiong Rushan, with Cheng Zifei bearing the brunt of it.

"What's the matter?" he asked, squinting his eyes.

In a matter of seconds, he pushed the three workers out the door, not caring how embarrassed they looked: "You have the authority, the responsibility, the people, and the experience. If you can't do it, get out!"

The three left with resentment in their hearts and embarrassment on their faces.

Fang Da Ren's face was truly unbearable to look at.

Yet, he had the ability to do so... Tch!

"When I first started working, I was treated like a dog every day, and I wasn't even as tired as I am now," Xiong Rushan said.

"I remember you have something else to report," Yin Guotang said with a hint of schadenfreude. "It seems you haven't reported it yet."

"Woof woof... I forgot," Xiong Rushan replied, and went back inside.

Soon, Fang Che's roar echoed from within.

Cheng Zifei and Yin Guotang quickly slipped away.

"Lu Biao Tou from the Great Saber Escort Agency and Zhao Biao Tou from the Heavenly Escort Bureau have been asking to see you for several days. They've been waiting all this time."

Xiong Rushan reported to Fang Che.

"What have I been so busy with? So busy!" Fang Che roared.

"Where are they? Ask them to come in."

Soon, Xiong Rushan led Lu Si Hai, the Commander of the Great Saber Escort Agency, and Zhao Wushang, the Commander of the Heavenly Escort Bureau, into the room.

"Oh dear, Lu Biao Tou is here. Please take a seat. Zhao Biao Tou, it's been a long time. Please take a seat. Are you two the Gods of Wealth? How come you have time to visit me?"

Fang Che's face was filled with smiles, and his enthusiasm was overwhelming.

One couldn't tell that he had just been furious and roaring moments ago. He was like a gentle breeze and rain, approachable and friendly.

Xiong Rushan sighed inwardly.

He cursed in his mind, 'He's not even human,' and sat down with them.

"Chief Fang, I hope you are well. I'm truly sorry for disturbing you today," Zhao Wushang and Lu Si Hai said respectfully, not daring to be casual. They sat down with a bow and a smile.

Seeing Fang Che again, both of them felt like they were in a dream.

Lu Si Hai knew Fang Che from the White Fog Continent. At that time, Fang Che was just a Life and Death Patrol Captain, but now he had become the high-ranking Southeast Enforcement Chief Patrol!

This was a godly speed of promotion.

Zhao Wushang had known Fang Che even earlier. When they first met, Fang Che was still a Temple Guardian in the White Cloud Continent.

Moreover, Fang Che had even presented a plaque to the Heavenly Escort Bureau back then.

He was just an ordinary public official and couldn't be considered a big shot.

But now, Fang Che was in the clouds!

He had become an absolute big shot that Zhao Wushang looked up to! The Southeast Enforcement Operations Inspection Hall Commander had overwhelming authority, and his power even surpassed that of Zhao Shanhe, the border official!

At least in the Southeast, Fang Che could do things that Zhao Shanhe, the Commander, couldn't.

And for things that Zhao Shanhe couldn't do, Fang Che could! That's how awesome he was!

"Brew tea, quickly brew tea, and bring out my precious tea," Fang Che instructed Xiong Rushan.

Xiong Rushan hurried out to make arrangements.

He had to go out; Xiong Rushan cursed in his mind. Where is this precious tea of yours?

You haven't even cleaned up this office properly. Forget about good tea, there isn't even jasmine tea!

I have to go and get my own tea!

Fang Che's face was filled with a pleasant expression: "With the two Commanders here, there must be important matters to discuss. Go ahead and speak, we're all old friends here. For matters that can be handled, Fang will definitely take care of them!"

The two Commanders, being old hands in the business, understood the meaning behind his words.

Matters that can be handled will be handled. Matters that can't be handled... well, they definitely won't be handled!

Even Xiong Rushan, who had just entered, was a little impressed. Look at our Fang Che! He's only been an official for a few days, and he's already mastered the official tone better than me... Sigh, just a couple of months ago, I still had to bow to him...

Now... don't mention it. He curses me like a dog every day.

Xiong Rushan sighed inwardly... He hadn't been paying much attention to the conversation, but in fact, he already knew why these two had come.

"The Night Demon Sect is too rampant. Almost every escort mission gets robbed!"

Lu Si Hai's face was filled with bitterness, and Zhao Wushang's with anger.

In the past few days, the escorts of the Great Saber Escort Agency and the Heavenly Escort Bureau had been robbed by the Night Demon Sect again!

What made Lu Si Hai even more frustrated was that two of these escorts were carrying special local fruits.

After the Night Demon Sect robbed the escorts and opened the packages, they found the fruits and slapped the escort leaders' faces until they were swollen.

"This is what you consider worthy of escorting? Can't you find better things to escort? How are we supposed to rob you if you don't have anything valuable?"

"What? You're robbing us? You're despicable! The Great Saber Escort Agency is so clueless. What's the point of being an escort agency if you don't even understand this?"

They cursed viciously.

Moreover, the Night Demon Sect usually didn't harm people during robberies, only taking the goods.

But after robbing the fruits twice, several of the escort leaders and escorts were beaten to the point of disability.

"Tell your Commanders that if they dare to send such escorts again, don't blame me for killing! Your Great Saber Escort Agency, who do you think you are?"

Action: The chapter ends with a Night Demon Sect disciple opening a crate and taking a bite of a few fruits, exclaiming, "Peh! These are so disgusting, even dogs won't eat them!"

"Don't take on such cheap clients' escorts in the future!"

"Your leader is also a cheapskate, taking on such jobs! Disgusting! He's so poor he's about to die!"

Then, he threw the fruit in his hand...

This team of escort leaders still managed to deliver the goods to the client and returned with their injuries to report. Lu Si Hai exploded on the spot!

"This is too much!"

That day, Lu Si Hai smashed the table.

As for the Heavenly Escort Bureau, it was even more outrageous.

The reputation of "Never losing an escort, never dropping an escort" was shattered.

What was even more outrageous was... The Heavenly Escort Bureau lost an escort and compensated the client three times the value!

The Heavenly Escort Bureau suffered a devastating loss!

One of the escorts was for a wealthy merchant's daughter's wedding, and the Heavenly Escort Bureau was also tasked with delivering the dowry, which was naturally quite substantial.

However, it was hijacked by the Night Demon Sect.

The dowry was carefully picked over, and half of it was taken.

Then, one of the bastards even lifted the bride's red veil to take a look, and said, "She's so damn ugly! How dare such an ugly bitch get married!"

Then, he called to the other Night Demon Sect disciples, "Forget it, let's give the dowry back to her. Such an ugly woman, if she loses her money as well, her future life probably won't be happy."

The other demon disciples thought about it and said, "What you said makes sense."

They actually returned the stolen items!

And before leaving, they even said to the bride, "Don't worry, being ugly is not a big deal, as long as you have money, that's fine!"

Then, they left with a swagger.

The bride almost cried her eyes out!

She would rather have her dowry taken than endure such an evaluation. The escort leaders from the Heavenly Escort Bureau were beaten up, with swollen noses and black eyes, and could only continue with the wedding.

After all, it was time to deliver the goods.

According to the Night Demon Sect disciples, "They should be beaten up like pigs and then sent off to match the bride's looks."

This incident caused an uproar in the southeast.

Regardless of the bride's family or the groom's family, neither could hold their heads up.

The Heavenly Escort Bureau suddenly became famous.

"Heavenly Escort Bureau, specializing in delivering ugly brides; when an ugly girl gets married, they must use the Heavenly Escort Bureau; limping all the way to deliver the bride, and they even charge money, what a bunch of idiots!"

This was a gift from the Night Demon Sect.

It was said to be a gift for the leader of the Heavenly Escort Bureau.

Zhao Wushang and Zheng Yunqi sought many experts to teach the Night Demon Sect a lesson, but they were beaten and killed, completely no match for the Night Demon Sect.

When they were at a loss, Lu Si Hai visited, and the two families went to the Southeast Headquarters to file a complaint.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wushang immediately agreed and followed.

After listening to Lu Si Hai's furious account, Fang Zong Changguan's face turned pale.

His current expression could no longer be described as twisted.

His mouth was wide open, his eyes bulging, and his nose was crooked.

Fang Che only felt like he had heard a few unbelievable fairy tales: "Is this my Night Demon Sect?"

Damn it...

What the hell is this...

"Chief Fang... Please stand up for us."

The two leaders of the escort bureau were in tears: "We are law-abiding citizens, the Night Demon Sect is treating us like this, we can't make a living at all."

"Even when the five sects in the southeast were at their most rampant, they weren't this rampant..."

"We can't do business at all, is this possible?"

"If they want to hijack the escort, then let them, but..."

"Please, Chief Fang, stand up for us."

The two leaders insisted.

"The Night Demon Sect is so rampant, we at the Southeast Headquarters will definitely exterminate them, rest assured."

Finally, Fang Che managed to control his expression and said righteously, "Rest assured, I was just about to plan how to deal with the Night Demon Sect!"

"During this period when I wasn't in the southeast, the Night Demon Sect has become so rampant!"

Fang Che looked at Xiong Rushan and frowned, "When I wasn't here, was your War Affairs Hall just eating idle meals? Such a big case, and you didn't handle it? What are all of you doing?"

Xiong Rushan felt like he was being scolded.

"Chief, this is not our fault. We deployed a large team to search the entire southeast, but there was no news. We accompanied the escort team, and everything was peaceful."

"The Night Demon Sect seemed to know which escorts had experts accompanying them and never appeared. But as soon as you didn't follow, the Night Demon Sect would show up!"

Xiong Rushan's face turned green.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been so quick to give up his position as the leader of the War Affairs Hall.

He was really tormented by the Night Demon Sect.

Staying in this position, he felt like he was just occupying a position without contributing.

So when Zhao Shanhe mentioned it, Xiong Rushan immediately agreed to give the position to Fang Che!

For him, he just wanted to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible.

"We deployed over a hundred times, but didn't even find a single trace of them."

Xiong Rushan almost cried.

If we and the Palace Guardians had any means, we could have brought the two of them to you and let you scold us like dogs?
