Chapter 96: Unraveling the Mystery [Extra Chapter for the Alliance Leader of the Sea Soul Shirt]
A profound and enigmatic smile appeared on the face of Seal God Palace.
What he meant was: You're all right, this chess game, is my move.
He thought of Fire Ignitor and the Fire Clan, Xi Men Xiriji and the Xi Men family, who had already fallen into the hands of the Night Demon, and the name Ding Jieren, who was now being played with by the Night Demon.
A slight smile appeared on his lips.
"You guys are smart, but unfortunately, none of you can outsmart Seal God Palace. As the military strategist said, the one with the better calculations wins. It seems I wasn't wrong."
At this moment, Seal God Palace had forgotten that he was initially forced to fight.
"Let's go, we can't stay in White Cloud Continent for long."
Seal God Palace left swiftly, transforming into a shooting star at full speed.
Mu Lin Yuan and Hou Fang quickly followed.
...
Fang Che admired the alchemy pills for a while before putting them away.
'They should be far away by now.'
Fang Che sat in a chair, deep in thought.
The night breeze blew gently, quiet and serene.
His thoughts were immersed in complete tranquility and contemplation.
"Why must I reach the General Rank in four months? Seal God Palace has a task for me that only I can do. What could it be?"
"Unified Heart Sect is full of talents and experts. Why doesn't he ask someone else?"
"He also said, 'I have my own difficulties,' and 'I don't trust anyone else to do it.'"
"Why is that?"
Fang Che's thoughts wandered.
"If I were Seal God Palace, what task would require me to quickly advance a Martial Ancestor disciple to a Martial General?"
"What reason would make me do that?"
"What reason would make me feel that I can't trust anyone else?"
"There must be a reason!"
Fang Che felt his thoughts had wandered to the extreme, as if he could figure out something with a glance, but he couldn't break through this layer of doubt.
"If I were Seal God Palace, the General Rank is just an ant to me. I don't need them for anything."
"But if the General Rank is involved, could it be the 'Ten Thousand Generals Selection' I heard about in my previous life from the Only Me Sect?"
Fang Che's eyes narrowed, and his fingers gently moved on the table in front of him.
Unlike the high-level members of the Incubation Divine Ascension Program in the Only Me Sect, the Guardian side was unaware of the true name and significance of this activity.
This was one of the core secrets of the Only Me Sect.
However, through many years of battles, they had noticed many things.
For example, many lower-ranked generals would suddenly disappear for a period, and after a few years, when the original generals reappeared, they had basically become the backbone of various subordinate sects of the Only Me Sect.
Basically, anyone who reappeared received different levels of promotion.
This led to many private speculations among the people. Did those who disappeared fail in the competition? This gave rise to the saying 'Ten Thousand Generals Selection.'
Fang Che's current thoughts were leaning in this direction.
"If it's this matter, why did Seal God Palace say he had his own difficulties, and he didn't trust anyone else? Unified Heart Sect has many generals, right?"
A flash of inspiration appeared in Fang Che's mind.
Suddenly, a thought emerged that even he himself dared not believe: Could Seal God Palace have been stripped of power? Did something happen to those people? With this thought, Fang Che couldn't contain his excitement.
He stood up abruptly!
Frowning tightly, he carefully recalled every word and every sentence from Seal God Palace's arrival to the present.
Then, he analyzed the expressions, eyes, and movements that accompanied each sentence.
After much contemplation, he felt it was highly likely.
"But with Seal God Palace's caution, cruelty, and meticulousness... how could he be stripped of power?"
After thinking it through, he recalled the three sparring sessions just now.
"Mu Lin Yuan and Hou Fang have basically tested my true level, but Seal God Palace, as the supreme leader of a sect, actually came in person to assess my combat abilities!"
"This shows that his caution has exceeded all expectations. He doesn't allow any mistakes. This shows that he values this matter to the extreme!"
"Every move is a killing blow!"
"It shows that the battle I'm about to face is a matter of life and death!"
Fang Che slowly sat down, suppressing his urge to pace and think.
Pacing would reveal his age.
Naturally, there was a sense of old-fashionedness that must be avoided.
"Finally, Seal God Palace also said, 'As long as the Guardian is willing, even the Sect Leader can use the mountain-like remains of the surrounding sects to pave all the paths for you to become the Guardian!'"
"And the previous sentence, 'When there's no danger, you can step on others' corpses to climb up,' what does this mean? Who is this 'others' he's referring to?"
Fang Che kept thinking over and over in his mind.
He repeatedly analyzed every word.
If his speculation was correct, this information was too important!
Internal strife in Unified Heart Sect, Seal God Palace being stripped of power... at this point, it was almost time for a change of dynasty...
But this matter couldn't be handled rashly; it had to be confirmed through speculation.
The opportunity was fleeting and had to be seized.
Fang Che's mind raced with thoughts.
"If it's true, and the Seal God Palace is being undermined, who could be behind it? Or rather, who could control the General Rank of the Unified Heart Sect, making the Seal God Palace feel uncertain?"
"It must be someone who can replace the Seal God Palace! Then, who in the Unified Heart Sect is most likely to replace the Seal God Palace as the Grandmaster?"
Fang Che had no idea that the current situation of the Seal God Palace was due to his own reminder.
He was anxiously searching for any news related to it.
"The Seal God Palace is the Grandmaster, so the only one who can replace him is the Deputy Grandmaster, and specifically, the First Deputy Grandmaster. Only then would there be a glimmer of hope. If it's someone from the Only Me Sect, it wouldn't be as complicated, and the Seal God Palace wouldn't have the concern of not trusting others. Because the Unified Heart Sect is his foundation, and those sent by the headquarters are top-tier experts who wouldn't interact with the General Rank!"
"They wouldn't even look at them!"
"So it can only be the Deputy Grandmaster! Then, who is the Deputy Grandmaster of the Unified Heart Sect? Or rather, how many Deputy Grandmasters does the Unified Heart Sect have?"
Compared to the Guardian and Protector, Fang Che didn't have a clear understanding of these matters.
At the very least, he had no idea who the Deputy Grandmaster of the Unified Heart Sect was, or how many there were.
With his current status and position, it was impossible for him to access such information!
But he was confident that his speculations were absolutely correct.
The Unified Heart Sect was about to face a major crisis!
The Seal God Palace's position might be in jeopardy.
"That's not right!"
Fang Che immediately refuted his own deduction: "The fact that the Seal God Palace still has the leisure to come to the White Cloud Continent indicates that the overall situation is still under his control, and only a part of it has gone awry?"
"Or perhaps, the Seal God Palace is confident that he still has the ability to rectify the chaos and restore order!"
"But the chaos that has erupted is a crucial part of his most important plan! That's why he came to me!"
"In other words, the internal situation of the Unified Heart Sect isn't as dire as I imagined, but there's definitely chaos! It's just a matter of how far it has escalated!"
After this thought, Fang Che felt he had figured out many things.
Then he took a deep breath, and suddenly felt a slight dizziness.
He had overworked his brain during that period.
Looking up, he noticed a faint glow in the distant eastern horizon.
Outside the door, footsteps approached.
Light and quick.
Fang Che turned to look at the door, a deep expression on his face.
Night Dream had returned!
You've returned just in time!
These matters are too important, and I need you.
...
Night Dream had stayed up the entire night.
If she hadn't, she wouldn't have known how much work it was to make a few clothes, and Fang Che's demands were numerous.
Moreover, they had to rush the work.
She had barely slept all night, and the master craftsmen, striving for perfection, had finally completed the first set. They worked overtime, inside and out, from top to bottom.
Night Dream had just brought it back.
As she entered the house, she was startled to see Fang Che sitting in the courtyard, drinking tea.
What was going on?
She immediately understood; this guy had deliberately sent her away to do something during that time.
But what exactly was it?
He had never done this before.
"Young Master, I've brought the clothes. Would you like to try them on?"
"Just leave them there."
Fang Che furrowed his brows, looking troubled.
Night Dream naturally came over and began massaging his temples, gently kneading them: "Why haven't you slept yet? You'll get a headache soon. Let me massage you."
"Press a little harder."
Fang Che closed his eyes, deep in thought.
"Are you worried about the Martial Academy's upcoming exam?" Night Dream asked considerately.
"Do you want me to make some porridge for you?"
"The Martial Academy's exam isn't a big deal."
Fang Che furrowed his brows: "Apply more pressure here, yes, yes, squeeze here."
After saying this, he sighed.
"Young Master, you're sighing and groaning... I'm afraid I can't be of much help."
"You really can't help with this."
Fang Che hummed: "You don't understand anything about the sect, so you're useless. How can you help?"
"Yes, I spoke out of turn."
"Do you think you can decide when to speak or not?"
Fang Che rolled his eyes: "Besides, I'm powerless too. Sigh..."
Night Dream wisely refrained from speaking further.
She focused solely on the massage.
"Are you about to break through in your cultivation?" Fang Che asked.
"Yes."
"But you're still too weak. It's not enough to be of any use."
Fang Che sighed: "When will you reach the Martial General or Martial Commander level? Only then... No, that's not right either. It's still far, far away."
Night Dream's heart sank: It seems serious.
She massaged more diligently: "Young Master, don't worry. There's always a way out. With your blessed fate, you'll surely turn misfortune into blessing."
"If only this were my personal matter."
Fang Che sighed: "Unfortunately, it's not. It concerns the entire sect."
He seemed distracted, so he removed Night Dream's hand, stood up, and locked his brows: "I just hope my backer doesn't fall. Otherwise, my situation will become awkward, and I'll be vulnerable to others' schemes and targeting."
...
