Chapter 796: The Crazy Old Rogue King (Part 2)

Before long, Fang Che and Feng Wanshi arrived at a sewage canal behind the Southeast Headquarters.

Feng Wanshi, looking bewildered, followed Fang Che in.

Feng Wanshi was probably on the verge of a mental breakdown: You keep your books in a stinky sewage canal?

But seeing Fang Che walking ahead with a calm demeanor, Feng Wanshi had no choice but to follow.

At the bottom of the sewage canal, the colorful wastewater turned a corner and flowed away. Fang Che used his spirit energy to push the water aside, revealing a patch of ground.

Using the method taught by Sikong Dou, he activated the formation, and indeed, an entrance appeared.

The two of them slipped inside, and the entrance closed automatically. The sewage continued to flow above them.

"Holy cow, this design is amazing!"

Feng Wanshi felt his eyes opened wide.

He didn't notice that Fang Che, who was leading the way, was already frowning.

In front of them was a narrow passage.

They wound their way down and eventually reached a spacious room filled with various gold and silver items, all in a mess.

Nothing else was there.

It clearly indicated that this was a treasure room, and that was all there was. Feng Wanshi felt that if it were him, he would have taken the gold and silver and left.

However, he saw Fang Che glance around briefly, then stand in front of a wall. Spirit energy rose again, and his hands drew mysterious gestures, followed by a soul force attack that circled the wall.

A strange pattern appeared.

Feng Wanshi had no idea what Fang Che did, but he managed to activate another formation, revealing another entrance, which disappeared as soon as they entered.

"Holy cow, this design is too incredible!"

Although he had guessed there was more, the intricate setup still left Feng Wanshi in awe.

They continued down the passage.

Suddenly, three forks appeared before them.

Feng Wanshi's eyes widened: How many mechanisms are there?

Fang Che, without hesitation, entered the middle passage, which led to a stone gate, tightly sealed.

There were all sorts of mechanisms and even a smokescreen.

Feng Wanshi cautiously followed Fang Che into the stone gate, which led to a grotto.

Piles of genius earth treasures were scattered around, and they were very precious.

Feng Wanshi blinked: Did Fang Che bring me to the wrong place? This is clearly a treasure trove.

The spirit crystals and celestial earth treasures inside were incredibly valuable.

But Fang Che, who was leading the way, paid no attention.

He stood in front of another wall and activated the formation again.

This time, it was much more complicated.

Feng Wanshi watched in amazement as the wall silently opened.

Then, a spacious tunnel appeared, lined with night pearls, wide enough for a carriage to pass through.

"Damn!"

Feng Wanshi was genuinely shocked: "This design is unbelievable!"

The mechanisms were secondary; the key was that this design took into account all human nature. The ingenuity behind it was truly remarkable.

They continued down the tunnel.

"Damn!"

Feng Wanshi's eyes widened completely, and he let out a soul-deep exclamation: "What is this? My ancestor Feng!"

In fact, not only Feng Wanshi, but even Fang Che was instantly amazed.

Because, after a turn, they discovered that the space below was almost as large as the Southeast Headquarters, vast and deep!

There were thousands of bookshelves, standing neatly, with an overwhelming presence.

Fang Che was thoroughly shocked: This damn... The old thief is indeed a lover of learning! Just looking at these bookshelves, you can tell he wasn't lying.

Although, in reality, the old thief couldn't read, let alone study...

But! Fang Che wanted to ask the world on behalf of the old thief: Who else?

The entire space was dry and fresh, though it was unclear where the ventilation came from.

"Here are all the fragmented ancient scrolls. You can read them here."

Fang Che said.

"Is this part of the Southeast Headquarters?"

Feng Wanshi was confused, genuinely admiring: "This design is truly ingenious. To hide this under the Southeast Headquarters building, and it must be over a thousand zhang deep? It's not damp at all... How did they do this?"

"And so many rare and fragmented manuscripts... My God, these are from over five thousand years ago... This side is even older..."

Feng Wanshi was directly shocked, his eyes turning green: "Your Southeast Headquarters is really incredible! It even has more than our Guardian Headquarters!"

Fang Che's face turned dark: "This isn't part of our Southeast Headquarters."

"Huh?" Feng Wanshi was completely confused: "This... isn't part of the Southeast Headquarters?"

Right under the Southeast Headquarters, and with such intricate design, how could it not be part of the Southeast Headquarters?

"It belongs to the person I told you about."

Fang Che, with a dark face: "I don't know how he got it here, but he has several such warehouses, though I don't know where they are."

Feng Wanshi was completely dumbfounded: "Are you serious?"

Fang Che rolled his eyes weakly: "What benefit would I get from lying to you?"

Feng Wanshi was stunned for a long time before he recovered and leaned in close to Fang Che, whispering: "The greatest thief in the world?"

Sikong Dou?"

"You know best."

Fang Che was now truly at a loss for words due to Sikong Dou's audacious actions, feeling as if his stomach was about to burst.

The underground headquarters of the Southeast!

What the hell! How did you come up with this idea?

I've never been so speechless in my life!

"I'll definitely keep it a secret!"

Feng Wanshi couldn't wait and said, "I'll start looking right away..."

But Fang Che still had some instructions to give, "The person in charge said, first, you can't take anything away, nor can you take anything out to look at. In other words, you can only look at it here. Second, look quickly and leave quickly. How long do you think it will take you to finish looking?"

Feng Wanshi frowned as he surveyed the entire warehouse, "I estimate it will take at least three months. There will definitely be some repetitive content, otherwise, it might take even longer. So three months... should be about right."

Fang Che sighed and said with a sense of loss, "It seems like we won't be able to eat the skyscraper."

"What?" Feng Wanshi was puzzled.

"It's nothing. You go ahead and look. After you're done, send me a message, and I'll come to pick you up. You probably won't be able to get out by yourself without destroying this underground palace."

Fang Che said.

"Okay, no problem. I like this kind of place."

Feng Wanshi marveled as he looked through the items, "And many of these things really can't be taken out. They can only be viewed here, and they'll be ruined if taken out. The setup here is so amazing, Fang Zong, if you're not an expert in this field, you won't understand how much knowledge is hidden here."

"What about your food and water?"

Fang Che asked.

He didn't care about how much knowledge was hidden there; he just wanted to leave immediately.

"I have enough in my ring for two to three years! Don't worry!"

Feng Wanshi said.

"Okay, just be careful... I'm not sure if there's a bathroom here..." Fang Che coughed, "If you really can't hold it, just dig a hole and bury it... It's not a big deal for you."

"Get lost!"

Feng Wanshi became furious, "Let me tell you, I'm at the eighth rank of the Holy Emperor! Do you believe I can beat you up right now?"

Fang Che fled in a hurry.

...

Upon returning to Fang Wangfu, Mo Gaiyun and the other two were actually sparring, while the nine little ones watched with sparkling eyes.

After sparring for a while, they would start training the little ones.

The requirements were extremely strict.

Of course, when it was Dong Yunyu's turn, Mo Gaiyun and Qiu Yunshang would watch him with intense gazes.

If this guy said anything inappropriate, they would immediately team up and beat him mercilessly.

Upon seeing Fang Che return, Mo Gaiyun approached him.

"Boss, these little ones should start their education. They need to be exposed to the martial arts world and the Wulin."

Qiu Yunshang and Dong Yunyu also nodded in agreement.

"They've already reached the Martial Master level at such a young age. Moreover, their foundation is so solid that it's no less than when we entered the martial arts academy."

"Yes, I've been thinking about this too."

Fang Che said, "I just haven't made up my mind yet. Should they go to Baiyun Wuyuan or Tianren Wuyuan?"

"Of course, it should be Baiyun Wuyuan!"

The three guys were all graduates of Baiyun Wuyuan, so they naturally had a soft spot for it.

For such geniuses, Dong Yunyu didn't hesitate to recommend Baiyun Wuyuan.

Fang Che checked on the little ones and was indeed surprised.

Their cultivation progress was like a thousand miles a day, something Fang Che was well aware of.

But this foundation...

"What have you guys been eating during this time?"

Fang Che asked.

"Grandpa Sikong often comes, and every time he brings us five days' worth of food and drink, as well as a kind of milk that is sweet and delicious. We get it every day."

Ren Dong's little braid swayed back and forth, and now the little girl's face looked like an apple, exuding an adorable charm.

"Some are eaten regularly, and some are eaten every few days. It's all been scheduled, and each person gets their own portion. Originally, there were also portions for Night Dream Big Sister and Zhao Ying'er Sister, but theirs were slightly different from ours."

The little ones eagerly reported.

Following the little ones into their room, Fang Che and the others were collectively speechless.

Heaven Crystal Spirit Dew, Stone Milk from the Spirit Spring, Starry Sky Water, Ten Thousand Year Ginseng Essence, Divine Vein Vine Fruit, Golden Crystal Jade Flower;... and various other jujubes and spiritual fruits...

There was an abundance of them.

Many were left with only the seeds.

However, the bottles they were in were still there, and with Fang Che's knowledge, he could recognize them all.

But... recognizing them was one thing, and wanting to gather and use all these things was like a dream.

Not only could Sikong Dou gather and use them, but he could also categorize them according to their medicinal properties and take them out in complementary groups.

Each day's food was paired together for the best effect.

Any excess medicinal power was stored in the meridians and the body without any waste.

Day after day, the nine little ones were force-fed like ducks.

Fang Che and the others were completely impressed!

"This is... even the Fengyu Xue family can't afford to be this extravagant..."

"It's not that Fengyu Xue can't afford it, but they can't do this for all their children."

Fang Che sighed, "Sikong Dou, this old guy... has been stealing good things for thousands of years, so he can afford to be so wasteful. Others don't have this luxury."

Everyone sighed.

Indeed, in this world, only Sikong Dou could be so extravagant.

"What did you give the old man?" Fang Che asked Ren Chun. He genuinely couldn't understand how such a stingy person could be so generous.

"He insisted on taking us as disciples, but we refused."

Ren Chun explained, "Later, Sister Night Dream came up with a solution and asked us to recognize him as our grandfather."

Grandfather!

Fang Che, Mo Gaiyun, Qiu Yunshang, and Dong Yunyu all had a black line across their faces.

So that was the case.

Night Dream had found a compromise. The old man had only wanted to take one disciple, but he ended up with nine grandchildren all at once.

This was much better than taking disciples! No wonder the old thief was so generous; they were his own grandchildren!

"Sis-in-law is really ruthless!"

Dong Yunyu pouted, "We all call him grandfather, so we can't show favoritism. Everyone must have their share... This is still about emptying the old thief's pockets."

"This move is indeed... too awesome."

"Awesome?"

Fang Che sighed, "But I feel like I've suddenly become a generation younger for no reason."

However, upon thinking about it, it didn't seem like he had become younger. He was still called 'brother'...

Everyone to their own?

Fang Che scratched his head, feeling that this situation was probably for the best.

He smacked his lips and said, "Not bad."

Dong Yunyu, Mo Gaiyun, and Qiu Yunshang all rolled their eyes. Was this considered 'not bad'? It was simply too good, to the point of being perfect!

"Since that's the case, let's have their grandfather teach them the basics before sending them to the martial arts academy."

Fang Che's eyes lit up.

Mo Gaiyun, Qiu Yunshang, and Dong Yunyu burst out laughing.

"Boss, you're really going to take advantage of the situation."

"How is this taking advantage?"

Fang Che retorted, "You three have such common minds. As their grandfather, if he gives his grandchildren a few more good things, what's the problem? What's wrong with that?"

"You're right, and everything you say is correct!"

The three of them laughed so hard their stomachs hurt.

Fang Che turned to the nine little ones and said, "All of you, remember the kindness of your Sikong Grandfather when you grow up. Understand?"

"Yes!"

Ren Chun and the others' eyes sparkled, "When we grow up, we'll definitely be filial to our big brother, big sister, and grandfather and uncles."

"Wait, wait..."

Fang Che felt something was amiss, "Who are the uncles?"

The little ones looked at Mo Gaiyun and the others.

Fang Che's face twisted, "Am I a generation younger than them?"

Dong Yunyu couldn't bear to watch and said, pouting, "You're being sentimental. Haven't you noticed? In the hearts of these little ones, there's only one big brother and one big sister! Everyone else is ranked after you two. Are you still not satisfied? What right do you have to be dissatisfied?"

Mo Gaiyun and Qiu Yunshang also felt a bit sour. Mo Gaiyun said, "We've also contributed a lot... but our status can't compare. Now, not only can we not compare to the big brother and big sister, but we're even ranked behind the grandfather..."

The nine little ones hung their heads, also feeling a bit embarrassed.

But in the children's hearts, this order couldn't be changed.

So... they could only lower their heads and endure.

"Alright, alright. Practice hard. After going to the martial arts academy, don't embarrass us."

Fang Che waved his hand, "Go to sleep."

"Yes, big brother."

"Hmm, wait. Your grandfather said that how long will you all continue eating these things?"

Fang Che asked.

The youngest, Ren Dong, had a pair of beautiful, clear eyes that blinked, "Grandfather said that after eating these for a month, we won't need to eat them anymore."

They had to eat them continuously for a month!! The four of them were speechless.

After waving his hand to let the nine children rest, Dong Yunyu let out a long sigh, "This old thief... he's truly insane..."

Not only Mo Gaiyun and Qiu Yunshang, but even Fang Che felt a twinge in his heart upon hearing these words.

Indeed!

This was no longer just being extravagant. Describing Sikong Dou as insane was absolutely fitting! There was no better word to describe his actions this time.

"Next, you two will be heading south. When will you leave?" Fang Che asked Qiu Yunshang and Dong Yunyu.

"We'll leave tomorrow."

Dong Yunyu pouted, "It's not comfortable staying here. Once we get there, I'll be the one in charge."

Qiu Yunshang spoke pitifully, "Big Brother Fang, I want to stay here... Can you think of a way?"

Dong Yunyu laughed, "Qiu Yunshang, once we get there, I'll teach you a lesson. If you want to stay, let me tell you, there's no chance! If Big Brother Fang dares to keep anyone, I'll take the case all the way to Guardian Headquarters!"

Qiu Yunshang's voice trembled with bitterness, "This is truly inhumane..."

Mo Gaiyun rolled his eyes, and the three of them clearly saw a huge white eyeball rolling from a distance, causing them to shiver in disgust.

They heard him say, "Qiu Yunshang, why do you think being by Big Brother Fang's side is so great? Getting beaten several times a day, do you feel good about it?"

Qiu Yunshang said, "Then why don't the two of us switch?"

"No way."

"Then what are you complaining about!"

Qiu Yunshang was very dissatisfied.

Fang Che didn't want to argue with them and waved his hand, "Just leave quietly tomorrow if you're going to leave. There's no need to tell us; just go."

"Tomorrow, I'll sleep in."

The two of them hummed in agreement, just as they were about to say something, but Fang Che had already disappeared.

Mo Gaiyun also returned to her room, "Tomorrow, scram early... Don't stay here and be an eyesore."

"Damn it!"

Dong Yunyu was furious, "Don't be arrogant! When I get to Zhengnan, I'll beat your brothers to death!"

Qiu Yunshang sighed, "Fourth Brother..."

"Hehehe..."

Dong Yunyu exuded an air of arrogance, patting Qiu Yunshang's shoulder and speaking in a strange tone, "Brother, it's fate."

...

Fang Che entered the room, of course, not to sleep.

Because he still had a lot to do.

The communication jade from the Only Righteous Sect suddenly started buzzing with messages, as if it was about to explode.

The Quintessence Bug had already sent several dozen alerts in a very short time.

When he opened it, indeed, it was filled with messages.

Ling Kong's message: "Brothers, we're all heading into the Jianghu. Night Demon, where are you?"

Chen Yin's message: "Night Demon, see you in the Jianghu."

Feng Xing's message: "Star Ray, how is the escort agency doing now? How's your cultivation progress? Do you need anything else? I'm about to enter the Jianghu."

Feng Yun's message: "The world is about to undergo changes. Keep a close eye on your Night Demon Sect and don't make any rash moves."

"..."

There were countless other messages from various people.

Then, Yan Beihan's message arrived: "Night Demon, have you completed your mission? I need your help here!"

Fang Che glanced through all the messages and then replied briefly to a few of them.

After that, he put it aside for the moment.

He then contacted the Seal God Palace: "Master, it's safe here now."

The Headmaster of the Seal God Palace was delighted, "Good, I'll have your third master send the items to you immediately."

"Okay, Master. Has there been any news from Hai Wu Liang recently? If there is, I'll go there immediately."

"There's no news for now. Don't worry, if anything happens, I'll let you know."

The Headmaster felt relieved.

He immediately called for Qian Sanjiang: "Take these items and deliver them to the Night Demon."

"Yes!"

Qian Sanjiang's appearance seemed a bit more aged compared to before, and the aura of a demonic overlord who once dominated the world had diminished significantly.

He even neglected his appearance, no longer concealing the white hairs at his temples.

He looked rather subdued.

Upon receiving the command, he showed no sign of excitement. Only when he heard the words 'Night Demon' did his eyes flash with a bright light.

Mu Linyuan's death had dealt a heavy blow to Qian Sanjiang.

Sometimes, when he chatted with Hou Fang, they both expressed a deep weariness towards the Jianghu.

Currently, the only two things that motivated them were: first, drinking with the Headmaster of the Seal God Palace, and second, going to see the Night Demon.

"Qian Sanjiang, be careful on your journey."

The Headmaster said, "With the Phantom Bone Transformation, you are the best at changing appearances among us. You must act low-key and deliver the items safely to the Night Demon."

"Understood, Master."

Seeing Qian Sanjiang's appearance, the Headmaster also sighed and said, "Cheer up. Perhaps in a few years, we won't have to endure such hardships anymore, and we won't have to live in fear."

"Yes, Headmaster," Qian Sanjiang replied solemnly.

Seeing his old brother in such a depressed state, the Headmaster couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions, even though he was the leader of the sect.

He patted Qian Sanjiang's shoulder and spoke softly, "Old Mu is gone, but we must carry on living. The thing Old Mu looked forward to the most and wanted to enjoy the most was for us to wait for that day and enjoy life in his stead."

"You're right, Headmaster."

A complex expression appeared on Qian Sanjiang's face, and he said softly, "Headmaster, I always thought that as great demonic overlords, we could live our lives without restraint, and we shouldn't have so many worries and troubles. But recently, I've realized that sometimes, the aging of the heart happens in a single moment."

The Headmaster remained silent for a long time, then sighed softly.

"Yes..."

His eyes gazed into the distance, and his emotions stirred, but he dared not look at the house behind him. Inside, there was the wine prepared for Mu Linyuan.

He gave a bitter laugh and said, "Ever since Old Mu's death, I've felt unmotivated to do anything..."

The two of them stood facing each other in silence.

Qian Sanjiang forced a smile and said, "Headmaster, I've been hoping for snow this winter. A heavy snowfall! When it snows, let's have a drink together. It'll be like drinking with Old Mu. But this damned weather is so unreliable. There was a massive snowstorm in the summer, and now, in the middle of winter, not a single snowflake has fallen."

"I really want it to snow," Qian Sanjiang's eyes filled with complex emotions.

The Headmaster also silently recalled that snowstorm and the scene of the Night Demon sending Mu Linyuan back. He couldn't help but feel a surge of anxiety.

After a moment of silence, he spoke softly, "When you return, we'll wait for the snow together. When it snows and covers the ground in white, we'll have a drink at Old Mu's grave."

"It'll be like our brothers gathering once again."
