Chapter 85: A Shame for My Merit Points
Chapter 85: A Shame for My Merit Points
Huo Churuan was seething with anger.
"I'll make him watch as I, Huo Churuan, step on him and slowly destroy his cultivation, shatter his limbs, and ultimately, end his life!"
"If I can't kill him with my own hands, this grudge will never be repaid, and this hatred will never fade!"
Huo Churuan was resting and preparing to make his move.
Meanwhile, Qian Sanjiang was also getting ready to take action.
But in the morning, Qian Sanjiang suddenly noticed a general-level expert from the Heaven Deity Sect, accompanied by four Primordial Grandmasters, appearing in his line of sight.
After their arrival, they immediately went to the outskirts of the White Cloud Martial Academy and circled around.
They specifically inspected Fang Che's courtyard.
"What the hell!"
Qian Sanjiang's eyes widened in shock.
It was clear that the Heaven Deity Sect's retaliation had arrived.
And their target was Fang Che.
The five people in plain sight were just a decoy, and the real deadly move was yet to be revealed.
Obviously, the Heaven Deity Sect's precautions were aimed at the Guardian Hall and the White Cloud Martial Academy.
"Grandmaster, the Heaven Deity Sect has arrived! It's a general-level expert on the surface, and the target seems to be the Night Demon as well."
Qian Sanjiang reported.
The Seal God Palace remained silent, as if they hadn't noticed anything.
Qian Sanjiang realized that the Grandmaster was unaware of the situation.
He went to find Fang Che again.
Fang Che furrowed his brows for a long time, "Then I have to hide, I can't open two battlefronts at once."
Qian Sanjiang agreed, "Be careful."
Qian Sanjiang left.
Fang Che's brows remained knitted with worry.
He hadn't expected the Heaven Deity Sect to appear at this time.
After careful consideration, Fang Che decided that he couldn't keep the spoils to himself. Doing so would reveal an excessive display of power.
I need to stay low-key, Fang Che reminded himself.
Ye Meng entered with a cup of tea and saw Fang Che holding a piece of paper, sighing and frowning.
"Young Master, what's wrong?" Ye Meng asked with concern.
"Nothing," Fang Che flipped the paper and placed it face down on the table, saying indifferently, "A martial arts conundrum."
Ye Meng's heart stirred, and she bowed her head and withdrew.
Fang Che immediately sighed, deep in thought, and left without even eating.
Ye Meng saw Fang Che's figure disappear and closed the door as usual.
She immediately entered Fang Che's study.
...
That afternoon, Chen Ruohai and Fan Tianzhao received the news.
A big fish from the Heaven Deity Sect? The two of them lit up with excitement and immediately mobilized the Guardian Hall experts. They contacted Huang Yifan of the White Cloud Martial Academy, who also began making arrangements.
That night, during the hour of the rat, the sky was pitch-black, as if draped with a dark curtain, and one couldn't see their fingers in front of them.
In the darkness, a loud sound rang out.
Flames suddenly shot up.
A deafening explosion shook the ground.
A fierce battle erupted.
Even Chen Ruohai and the others hadn't expected that the Heaven Deity Sect would send two King-ranked experts this time, and these two kings were the same ones who had annihilated the Ximen Clan a few days ago!
Snake King!
Poison King!
After rushing in, they easily dispatched the ordinary disciples of the Heaven Deity Sect. To their surprise, several of the Guardian Hall experts were silently injured.
Only then did they realize that there was a big fish hiding within.
"Snake King and Poison King!"
Chen Ruohai made a quick decision and shouted, "Chang of Yellow Mountain, please help!"
Huang Yifan waved his hand, and eight instructors of the White Cloud Martial Academy joined the battle.
They immediately suppressed the battlefield.
With the strength of Chen Ruohai and Fan Tianzhao, they could handle the situation, but there would be casualties. Moreover, these two demons were slippery and highly skilled in disguise, and if they escaped, it would be a missed opportunity.
With the White Cloud Martial Academy's intervention, although they shared the merit points, it ensured a foolproof plan.
Even with wings, the two demons couldn't escape.
Chen Ruohai and the others had a clear goal: to capture the two King-ranked demons alive!
With such a powerful lineup, they had formed an overwhelming advantage, and if they couldn't capture them alive, it would be a shameful display of incompetence.
Indeed, after a fierce battle, the Snake King and Poison King, heavily wounded, were captured alive by Fan Tianzhao himself after being severely injured.
All other Heaven Deity Sect experts were killed, and their identity plates became the merit points of the Guardian Hall.
The battle was brief, but its intensity and impact were rare in the city in recent years.
Countless people woke up from their dreams in shock.
Qian Sanjiang was terrified, his soul almost flying out of his body.
He had been secretly monitoring the Heaven Deity Sect's movements that night, and suddenly, the Guardian Hall experts rushed over, almost including him in the battle.
As he watched the fierce fight unfold, Qian Sanjiang initially wondered how the Heaven Deity Sect members were exposed. But when he saw the Snake King and Poison King, he understood: these two idiots had just committed a major crime against the Ximen Clan, and now they were roaming around the White Cloud Continent.
With such obvious targets, why were they still wandering around? As expected, they were surrounded by the Guardian Hall experts.
Qian Sanjiang didn't move a muscle as he watched the intense battle below.
He decided to send a message to Night Demon: "You don't need to hide. The Heaven Deity Sect has been discovered by the Guardian Hall, and they've been dealt with."
Fang Che quickly replied, "Great! What about the Three Saints Sect?"
Qian Sanjiang was speechless, "You want the Three Saints Sect to be dealt with too? What are you thinking? The Three Saints Sect hasn't been exposed!"
Fang Che's reply was filled with regret, "Ah... How come the Guardian Hall didn't take care of the Three Saints Sect as well! These Guardian Hall experts are useless."
Qian Sanjiang almost laughed out loud.
You're dreaming, kid.
He replied, "The reason the Heaven Deity Sect was exposed is because the Snake King and Poison King just committed a major crime against the Ximen Clan, making their identities sensitive and obvious targets. That's why the Guardian Hall had a clear target and could discover them. The Three Saints Sect has always been secretive and hasn't been exposed, so how could they be eliminated in one go?"
Regarding the Three Saints Sect, we have to rely on ourselves. Besides, if the Three Saints Sect members are captured by the Guardian, where will you go to earn merit?"
Fang Che immediately realized, "Yes, you're right. The Three Saints Sect members must not be captured! I need to earn merit. Oh, if that's the case, it's a pity for the Heaven God Sect. If they had also helped me earn merit, that would've been great."
Qian Sanjiang: "...Get lost!"
Fang Che chuckled and ended the communication.
After this, he had essentially cleared himself of suspicion. If I were the mole, I would've sold out the Three Saints Sect as well.
Now, only the Heaven God Sect is in trouble, so it's not my doing.
But Qian Sanjiang didn't think in this direction at all. The Heaven God Sect was exposed as soon as they entered the city, so it's definitely a problem on their end. Is there a need to think about this? Similarly, the Three Saints Sect hasn't been exposed.
However, after ending the communication with Qian Sanjiang, Fang Che immediately sent a message to the Seal God Palace.
"Reporting to the Grandmaster, your disciple Night Demon informs you that I heard from Qian Sanjiang that the Heaven God Sect came to kill me, but they were all killed by the White Cloud Martial Academy, and two people were captured."
Fang Che reported again, and the content was filled with schadenfreude: "The White Cloud Martial Academy is now protecting me, and it seems there are experts guarding me. The Heaven God Sect has suffered a major setback. It's just a pity about the merit points."
"If you want to contact me, be careful. Don't let the Martial Academy experts capture you. I have many eyes around me now."
"Greetings to the Grandmaster, your disciple Night Demon respectfully reports."
...
"What the hell is this mess?"
At the Seal God Palace, their heads were already aching.
The Heaven God Sect had made a mistake this time, and the Seal God Palace had already known about this news before Fang Che's report.
But this time, it was because of the Unity Sect's Night Demon's mistake.
Moreover, two King-Rank experts were captured alive.
This put them in a very passive position.
King-Rank experts, although not considered the absolute top tier in the Heaven God Sect, still held a different status.
Sacrifices were acceptable, but being captured alive was not.
Because King-Rank experts already had access to many of the sect's secrets.
Furthermore, while internal conflicts between sects were acceptable, they had to be controlled; King-Rank experts had crossed the line.
And this time, it wasn't entirely related to the Night Demon: Qian Sanjiang contacted me, saying that a General-Rank expert was coming to kill the Night Demon. The Seal God Palace, seeing that it was just a General-Rank, didn't respond, thinking it was no big deal.
But there were actually King-Rank experts inside! This was ridiculous.
Moreover, were these two people idiots? Could they come to the White Cloud Continent so openly?
The Seal God Palace had already scolded Qian Sanjiang harshly: "You motherfcker, your intelligence communication was so vague. You only mentioned a General-Rank expert, not a King-Rank. In the future, if something happens, won't you get us killed?"
Qian Sanjiang felt wronged but couldn't explain himself. I only saw a General-Rank expert; how was I supposed to know there were King-Rank experts behind?
But this was something he could only say to himself. If he said it to the Seal God Palace, he would just be asking for trouble.
Now, looking at the message from the Night Demon and sensing the schadenfreude within, the Seal God Palace felt a headache coming on.
This little bastard was still regretting the loss of merit points; his thought process was truly unique.
You're being targeted, and now they've sent King-Rank experts to kill you. What will they send next?
You're standing at the gates of hell, and you're still thinking about earning merit points for the Guardian! You have no sense of self-preservation.
The Seal God Palace immediately felt a headache.
Currently, the Night Demon's identity was concealed, but the problem was that both the Heaven God Sect and the Three Saints Sect would take action.
And the more they suffered setbacks, the higher the rank of experts they would send.
In the long run, either the Night Demon would eventually be eliminated, or more and more experts would die because of him.
This was a vicious cycle!
"This problem must be resolved."
The Seal God Palace rubbed his temples: "Who the hell could've thought that the Snake King and Poison King of the Heaven God Sect, after dealing with the Ximen Family, didn't leave.
They went straight to the White Cloud Continent. You two went directly to their headquarters; isn't that asking for trouble? This isn't my fault!"
While the Seal God Palace was considering the next steps...
The communication jade vibrated.
Taking it out for a look, the Seal God Palace was shocked.
It was actually...
A message from Ku Yi Fang, the Grandmaster of the Heaven God Sect: "Brother Yin, my Snake King and Poison King have been captured. Please help me."
...
[You should praise me too]
I saw a book review: When Fang Che speaks to the righteous characters, he is more casual, but when communicating with the villains, every word is intriguing, and his thoughts must be carefully considered.
This sentence really scratches my itch, haha. Indeed, when I started writing the book, I intended for the protagonist's words to have a hidden meaning and purpose in every sentence, and to cater to different targets and statuses.
However, this is not possible with the righteous side. But with the demon sect, every word Fang Che says can indeed withstand any scrutiny. In my opinion, although it may not be perfect, it is indeed thought-provoking.
Various methods of flattering and ingratiating, all for his own purposes, but also to make the other party feel at ease and trust him.
Gradually building up goodwill; it is indeed a meticulous effort.
Although there are some flaws due to the protagonist's halo, I personally believe that when considering the positions of both sides, the difficulty is not that high. Oh well, since no one is praising this aspect, I'll praise myself.
For those who like to read carefully, you can go back and take a look.
