Chapter 801: Fang Che's Intelligence! (Part 2)

Regarding this matter, Fang Che was truly perplexed.

He had once discussed the matter of the Only Righteous Sect's split with the Eastern Triple Three.

According to the Eastern Triple Three at that time, there was no sect in the world that couldn't be split. Therefore, the Only Righteous Sect's split was bound to succeed!

Moreover, it was quite regrettable that the Guardian couldn't get involved in splitting sects.

Fang Che felt that the Eastern Triple Three had a way, so he sought advice from her.

Following the Eastern Triple Three's line of thinking, indeed, there seemed to be no sect that couldn't be split.

But why was Yan Beihan stopped here?

Fang Che asked Yan Beihan this question, but obviously, Yan Beihan couldn't answer, which was why Zhou Meier was summoned.

Zhou Meier explained, "It's like this. During the initial discussions, based on all the information provided by the headquarters' intelligence department, we deduced that the Pagoda Sect had the most infiltrators, and many of our people had already assumed important positions."

Since it was a collective mistake, Zhou Meier naturally didn't exclude herself.

"Among our people, one had already gained control over the Pagoda Sect's finances, while others held supervisory roles in the Life and Death Patrol department. Some were in the sect's law enforcement, procurement, and other important positions..."

Zhou Meier continued, "After comprehensive consideration, we discovered that there were twenty-three infiltrators within the Pagoda Sect, with five of them holding leadership positions in various departments, two becoming Inner Elders, and the rest also occupying crucial roles."

"These people had significant influence in decision-making."

"Moreover, within the Pagoda Sect, the three lineages passed down by the Patriarch had evolved into the current seventy-two peaks over the years."

"And among the seventy-two peaks, conflicts were constant, with many peak masters personally intervening and even engaging in physical altercations. The two factions, one loyal to the Guardians and the other to the Only Righteous Sect, fought daily! Every few days, there would be disciples with disabilities, and each year, numerous disciples would die..."

"After thorough consideration, we felt that splitting the Pagoda Sect wouldn't be too difficult. So, we collectively decided to take action against the Pagoda Sect."

As Zhou Meier spoke, Yan Beihan sighed beside her.

Fang Che also sighed as he listened.

It seemed like there was indeed a chance...

"Initially, things went smoothly. We first bribed those close to our side in the Pagoda Sect, and thirteen peak masters readily accepted our gifts and agreed to our assistance in suppressing their opponents."

"Then, seven elders gradually accepted our promises after being approached."

"As we gradually expanded our influence, we began to reach higher-level members. Meanwhile, the battles among the lower-level disciples also escalated, preparing for the eventual split and conflict."

"Some had even consumed our Quintessence Bug and followed our orders..."

"Next, we approached those close to the sect master and his most important rival, successfully influencing these individuals to intensify the conflict between the two."

"Then we separately..."

"..."

"Everything proceeded as planned, and the Pagoda Sect indeed descended into chaos. When the two factions split and fought to the death, an ideal situation emerged... But then, the founding Patriarch appeared."

Zhou Meier's face turned dark. "In one night, the situation took a drastic turn. The Patriarch used thunderous means to eliminate over a hundred people who had been causing unrest, including eleven of our people."

"Suddenly, the Pagoda Sect became united again."

"Despite our repeated efforts, we couldn't break through their defenses. Their attitude was resolute."

"Senior Ice fought the opposing Patriarch three times, gaining the upper hand, but the opponent only suffered a slight disadvantage. Afterward, various overt and covert battles ensued, resulting in casualties on both sides. Eventually, the situation escalated to the current stalemate."

"Moreover, one of their young genius disciples obtained the Sword Crypt inheritance and experienced a sudden surge in strength. An elder's dying transmission further enhanced his power, making him a formidable opponent for our younger generation."

"Then, when the younger generation disciples clashed, the other side proposed, 'Since your young disciples from the Only Righteous Sect have come to do this, you must first defeat our young disciple before proceeding.'"

"However, currently... none of our young disciples can match him."

Zhou Meier said, "The situation has developed to this point, and we're at an impasse."

Yan Beihan sighed and continued, "It's not that there aren't any capable individuals, but the other side's request is simple. Your deputy sect leaders' disciples are considered part of the leadership and not regular disciples. If they intervene, it would be like bullying the weak..."

Fang Che was utterly confused.

Counter-recruitment, splitting, bribery, assassination, fighting, interests, promises...

He could understand all of these.

However, when all these elements were combined, it created a chaotic and incomprehensible situation.

These lines were too entangled.

Moreover, the feeling of being unable to untangle them seemed strange.

"Wait... What's going on? How did it escalate from counter-recruitment and splitting to challenges among the younger generation disciples?"

Fang Che's eyes widened in surprise.

"This is the result of Senior Ice's three battles."

Zhou Meier explained, "After Senior Ice fought the opponent three times, we suspect that they reached a compromise. The other side could step down gracefully, and we would have a reason to retreat. But Elder Yan disagreed, so..."

Yan Beihan said, "If we withdraw now, all our efforts will be in vain. After months of hard work, we'll have nothing to show for it, and we'll become a laughingstock. Moreover, the sect will undoubtedly insert new forces due to this matter, and we, having suffered a setback, cannot refuse."

"It's not just about hindering our efforts, but..."

"Many people have already set their sights on this achievement. The more people who join, the less we'll get. This is beyond doubt."

"If this continues, when the entire sect is mobilized to deal with these outside sects, how can we claim this achievement as our own?"

Yan Beihan said, "Therefore, the Pagoda Sect is blocking us, not because of victory or defeat."

"After all, more and more high-ranking members within the sect are taking notice of this achievement."

Yan Beihan frowned. "We must be cautious about this matter. If we fail, others will propose adding more people, and even my grandfather won't have a reason to object."

Fang Che nodded silently.

Yan Beihan's words made sense. Since things had reached this point, the Pagoda Sect had to be defeated, no matter the means.

So this time, your involvement is also due to this matter. First, we need to find a way to break this deadlock. Second, that young generation's geniuses might still need you to defeat them.

Yan Beihan said.

Zhou Meier nodded silently.

Indeed, that is the case.

The opposing side’s Shizhangjian belongs to the young generation’s geniuses, and sending the Night Demon from the Only Righteous Sect doesn’t have any issues.

The Night Demon is also the top genius of the young generation of the Only Righteous Sect; there’s no doubt about that.

Generation and division haven’t been disrupted.

Yan Beihan’s strategy is entirely correct.

Fang Che pondered silently for a moment before saying, “I understand. Ah… this matter is quite complicated.”

“Is there anything specific you want to say?”

Yan Beihan asked with anticipation.

“Why did you choose the Pagoda Sect?”

Fang Che had a headache: “Do you guys manage to have these people inside as insiders in high positions?”

Yan Beihan blinked, and Zou Meier also seemed puzzled: “Isn’t it so?”

“Can this be called being in a high position?”

Fang Che was confused: “Look at the people you have. The financial manager, the medicine room manager, the garden manager, the patrol manager, the guest affairs manager, the enforcement manager, the procurement manager… they’re all your people.”

“Mr. Yan… these are basically people who don’t cultivate and just work!”

Fang Che was about to vent his frustration: “What do you call being in a high position? Are these people just hired by the Pagoda Sect?”

When Fang Che said ‘people who don’t cultivate and just work,’ Yan Beihan had already ‘ah’ and understood her mistake.

She instantly realized her error, and her pretty face was filled with regret!

At the time, why didn’t I think of it? I only thought that the people here were all in high positions, already managers, and even several managers!

Department heads!

But completely overlooked the Pagoda Sect.

These people work hard and take on burdens inside. Especially as insiders, the usual sect members would be lazy and shirk, finding time to cultivate on their own, but the insiders wouldn’t they have to work hard and show their dedication?

This way, over time, who would still be the managers? Everyone else would have found time to cultivate…

At this moment, Yan Beihan was almost about to scold herself for being so foolish.

Too foolish!

“Who is the young generation of the Pagoda Sect blocking the road now?”

“Shizhangjian.”

Yan Beihan was filled with frustration: “I once met this person in the Yin-Yang Realm. At that time, I don’t remember how many people entered the Pagoda Sect, but in the end, only six people came out alive. And Shizhangjian was the leader among them.”

“After Shizhangjian returned, the sect had an Elder, Shizhangjian’s senior. He was once afflicted with a strange poison, for which no medicine could cure. He had been barely hanging on for many years, but this year his condition worsened, and he finally took his own life. Before his death, he passed on his entire cultivation to Shizhangjian through a top-of-the-head transmission, greatly advancing Shizhangjian’s cultivation, making him invincible among the young generation!”

Yan Beihan sighed lightly.

Fang Che frowned and said, “I’ve heard of the top-of-the-head transmission before. But… it’s said that in a top-of-the-head transmission, out of ten powers, only one or two can be passed on at most, right?”

“Not that much.”

Yan Beihan explained, “In a top-of-the-head transmission, ten cannot be passed one; the transmitter will die, and the recipient finds it difficult to assimilate.”

“The meaning is that the transmitter will die. And the recipient may not necessarily assimilate the power smoothly. After all, it’s not one’s own hard-earned cultivation, so there will be rejection when someone else’s cultivation enters the body. In the end, what remains might not even be one-tenth of the original.”

“So the recipient finds it difficult, the difficulty being that they might not get one-tenth of the benefit.”

Yan Beihan explained in detail.

“So it is!”

Fang Che suddenly understood and said, “But even if an old senior’s accumulated cultivation can be passed on at fifty percent, it’s still a huge boost for him.”

“Certainly.”

Yan Beihan added, “So… it’s generally difficult for the young generation to defeat him.”

“I don’t necessarily have the confidence either.”

Fang Che said.

“Everything will have to be seen.”

Yan Beihan didn’t speak in absolutes either.

“Their patriarch said… I understand what you, the Only Righteous Sect, want to do. But… if the young generation, even my own disciple’s disciple, can’t beat him, then there’s nothing to talk about.”

Yan Beihan said.

Fang Che frowned and pondered, “What the old patriarch said is quite profound.”

Yan Beihan smiled wryly, “That’s why I insisted on leaving and asked you to come, because his words made me feel this way. It’s not impossible to operate a split.”

“Indeed.”

Fang Che mused, “There’s that meaning. Otherwise, the situation would be even more firmly deadlocked.”

“Indeed, that’s why it’s now at a stalemate.”

“This old patriarch…”

Fang Che frowned, “The Pagoda Sect… could Miss Zhou introduce this old patriarch?”

Yan Beihan’s eyes swept over the area.

Zhou Meier immediately said, “The Pagoda Sect, its name comes from the ‘Fushi Jian’ of the founding ancestor. Fushi Jian, slaying demons and protecting the path!”

“Hahaha…”

Fang Che couldn’t help but mockingly laugh, “Slaying demons and protecting the path? Are they such secluded sects that don’t enter the world?”

Yan Beihan sighed, “Over the years, in the battles between our Only Righteous Sect and the Guardians, people from the Pagoda Sect have never been scarce. And the people of the Pagoda Sect, when they go out into the world to temper themselves, mostly end up killing our people.”

Fang Che was stunned, “Such a thing exists?”

“Within the Pagoda Sect, there are now three factions. One is hostile to us and close to the Guardians. Another is neutral, and the last leans towards our Only Righteous Sect. Over the years, the three factions have stood as three legs of a tripod. This is also one of the reasons I chose the Pagoda Sect this time.”

Yan Beihan sighed.

“So that’s how it is.”

“The founding ancestor of the Pagoda Sect has two. One is the Fushi Swordsman Qu Changkong, and the other is the Fuku Swordsman Cao Shixiong. Thousands of years ago, during the battle when the Grandmaster emerged from seclusion, these two once blocked the path of the Deputy Grandmaster to support the Grandmaster. The Deputy Grandmaster was killed on the spot by Cao Shixiong, who also killed the other five people on the spot and severely injured Qu Changkong, who then fled. But because of that interception, the Deputy Grandmaster didn’t catch up to the Grandmaster, and the Grandmaster thus fought the divine mountain alone, suffering a backlash from the divine.”

“So that’s how it is.”

Fang Che’s expression was solemn, and he then asked curiously, “How could there be people in such a deadly enemy sect who are inclined towards us?”

“This matter, when mentioned, still stems from the events of those years… Qu Changkong and the others suffered a terrible defeat under the Deputy Grandmaster, their morale was crushed, and under the divine authority, Qu Changkong immediately went into seclusion with severe injuries after returning.

Under the chaotic situation with no clear leader, each person had their own thoughts...”

“After so many years of evolution, this is the situation we have now.”

Yan Beihan said, “So, I've been thinking, the Pagoda Sect's current intentions... should be quite intriguing. But at the moment, the situation is unclear.”

Fang Che contemplated, “In other words, regardless of the true state of affairs, we should first deal with Shi Changjian tomorrow, right?”

“That's indeed the case for now.”

Yan Beihan said, “Only by dealing with Shi Changjian can we pass this hurdle personally set up by Qu Changkong and see the path ahead. At that time, Night Demon, you'll need to think carefully.”

Fang Che said, “Since that's the case, let's take a good look tomorrow. Should we rest today?”

Yan Beihan smiled, “You've come here after so much effort, how could I not give you a proper welcome? I'll also introduce you to our people here.”

Fang Che pretended to be touched, “Wouldn't that be too much trouble for Yan Da Ren?”

Yan Beihan couldn't help but purse his lips, “As expected, you're so shameless.”

Fang Che's face turned black.

Zhou Mei'er pursed her lips and smiled, looking down.

That evening, Yan Beihan held a grand welcome banquet, formally introducing the arrival of Night Demon, and seating him at a table surrounded by old demon heads.

He didn't hide his high regard for Night Demon.

He clearly stated, “In the future, he will be my left and right hands!”

This statement drew everyone's attention.

However, Bing Tianshuang had obviously already received Yan Beihan's request, and she boldly said, “Night Demon is indeed exceptional.”

Bing Tianshuang's attitude was essentially a joint statement from her and Kuangren Ji! This expression of support was indeed solemn.

This caused the gazes of some of the people from various families present to become more restrained.

Fang Che discovered that beside Yan Beihan, besides Bing Tianshuang, the old demon head, there were also two others of the same generation, both females—one was Night Demon, and the other was Spirit Demon.

However, they were both very quiet.

Obviously, they didn't consider Night Demon, a small demon head, to be worth their attention.

Additionally, there were a few others whom Yan Beihan introduced as members of the Only Righteous Sect's Seventy-Two Malevolent Gods.

This made Fang Che truly realize that Yan Beihan was indeed a powerful feudal lord! His strength was exceptionally formidable.

After the meal, Yan Beihan sought out Fang Che for a chat, but neither of them was in high spirits. After chatting for a while, Fang Che asked to take his leave and return to his room to rest and recuperate.

Yan Beihan didn't stop him.

Upon returning to his room, Fang Che immediately used the Boundless Sutra to set up a soundproof barrier.

Blocking divine consciousness detection.

Using any cultivation technique from the continent, Fang Che wasn't confident in blocking detection from experts, but with the upgraded Boundless Sutra, he had absolute assurance.

Taking out the communication jade, he sent a message to his father: "Old man! Emergency request for aid, please contact Dongfang Junshi immediately! It's a matter of great importance!"

Fang Che felt that this matter was beyond his ability to handle, so he had to contact him.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the Pagoda Sect... especially the founding ancestor, Qu Changkong, seemed so similar to Dongfang Sansan.

Their actions were very alike, especially during the interception of Feng Du.

Moreover, the Pagoda Sect was a rare type of sect. What was the military advisor thinking?

Upon receiving his son's message, Fang Yunzheng didn't dare to delay.

He immediately contacted Dongfang Sansan: "Boss, Boss, your dear nephew has something urgent to discuss with you. The old man is brilliant and powerful, and he will definitely solve it. Boss, you're so mighty! Your intelligence is like the ocean, and your wisdom is like the heavens!"

Fang Laoliu, now in need of Dongfang Sansan's help, couldn't help but flatter him.

When it came to his son's matters, what pride did he need to consider? After sending the message, Fang Laoliu held the communication jade, staring intently with all his focus, waiting for a reply.

My son is still waiting over there, hurry up...

As expected, Dongfang Sansan didn't disappoint, immediately replying: "What's the matter?"

Fang Laoliu immediately forwarded the message to his son: "What's the matter?"

Fang Che quickly sent the pre-edited content: "...This is what happened."

Fang Laoliu immediately forwarded the message: "This is what happened..."

After reading it, Dongfang Sansan couldn't help but laugh, replying: "This is Fang Che's stage, a great achievement I've given to him! Let him give it his all, using all means possible, as long as it's his wisdom! But the prerequisite is that he must first defeat the younger generation."

Fang Laoliu immediately forwarded the message to his son: "...Wisdom!"

Fang Che understood: "Ninth Lord, you're so mighty!"

Fang Laoliu was overjoyed, knowing that his son's problem had been solved. He sent a message to Dongfang Sansan, expressing his admiration: "Boss, I'm so impressed that I'm bowing down. You're truly a once-in-a-thousand-years person, a once-in-ten-thousand-years god, a once-in-a-hundred-thousand-years pervert, an eternal shameless one!"

"Get lost! If you act shamelessly again, I'll make sure your son doesn't come home for ten years!"

"Boss, I was wrong..."

Fang Laoliu immediately knelt: "Boss, is there anything else you need me to do?"

Dongfang Sansan was in a great mood: "Can't hold it in anymore, huh?"

"Well, I'm a bit anxious, to be honest."

"Then go pretend to be the Faceless Tower and kill someone for me. Leave some traces that aren't easily detectable by super experts or super spiritual beasts, you know what to do, right?"

"Boss, when have I ever let you down?"

Fang Yunzheng patted his chest: "Just tell me who to kill."

"..."

Dongfang Sansan's face darkened: "Yan Nan!"

"..." Fang Laoliu: "I can't kill him."

Dongfang Sansan started to bully Fang Laoliu, who had a habit of acting shamelessly. He never expected that this time, there would be someone he couldn't kill.

"..." Fang Laoliu was speechless: "Boss, you're not really asking me to kill them, are you? This matter needs to be considered carefully..."

"Useless thing!"

Dongfang Sansan was pleased: "Go and kill the Southern Governor-General of the Only Righteous Sect!"

"..." Fang Laoliu: "This small fry needs me to take action?"

"Then go and kill Zheng Yuandong!" Dongfang Sansan was exasperated.

"I'll go!"

"You're really going to kill Zheng Yuandong?" Dongfang Sansan was stunned. Could this guy have been pushed too far by me?

"I'm going to kill the Southern Governor-General of the Only Righteous Sect!"

Fang Yunzheng sighed.

"..."

"Shameless person, after letting you have your fun this time, you're not allowed to move for four months!"

Dongfang Sansan, in a great mood, cut off the communication.

Fang Yunzheng cursed under his breath, sighing: "What a miserable fate, to have my son's matter resolved only after I go and risk my life... truly an old silver coin."

Holding a long sword, he disappeared into the night sky.
