Lord of the night.

Chapter 1335 The Timing Was Too Crucial! [Two-in-One]

Yan Nan remained silent, deep in thought with a dark expression.

Yan Suiyun emphasized, and said:
"This is no longer a problem of one person, nor is it a question of what relationship the Night Demon has with our family; it is a question of the life and death of your entire sect."

"I'm afraid that once you get the good news, you won't be able to control yourself and will tell your sixth, seventh, and eighth uncles... If something unexpected happens and it gets out, hehe, this tiny flame will probably be extinguished by the wind."

"You have been the only true religion for over ten thousand years, and this is the only time that such a slight glimmer of hope has appeared."

Yan Suiyun said, "You understand, sir."

"You brothers have a good relationship, and you all put the greater good of the sect first, that's one thing. But don't forget, behind each of them in the Five Spirit Gu matter, there is a super family with a bloodline inheritance! You know very well what kind of people those are."

Yan Suiyun spoke with great disdain.

Yan Nan was in no mood to care about Yan Suiyun's tone.

Instead, he frowned in thought and let out a long sigh.

In fact, for a long time, he had been regretting one thing: the question of Night Demon's true identity was something he had researched with his brothers.

Everyone did an excellent job of keeping it a secret.

Yan Nan was always at ease.

However, with the emergence of the Night Demon, the Emperor of Eternal Night, and other powers that control water, along with things like innate Dao bones, and the involvement of Yan Beihan's romantic affairs...

Yan Nan had already begun to regret it, feeling constantly unsafe.

If I had always kept the communication under my own control and maintained a single-line connection, I wouldn't have so many troubles today.

Upon hearing about refining the Five Elemental Gu, Yan Nan regretted it even more!

Why did I have such a big mouth back then!
Night Demon's undercover mission was clearly a top secret, but he almost made it public knowledge himself.

Yan Nan was well aware of Yan Suiyun and Yan Beihan Fengyun's considerations: he might actually share his joy with Chen Gubai and the others in his excitement!
That was my sworn brother of ten thousand years! A brotherhood ingrained in my bones and soul!
But then... it's really hard to say.

Because Yan Suiyun made it very clear: if they were all single, that would be fine. But, behind each of them is a super-powerful family!
That's the continuation of bloodline, that's future generations.

Even if Bai Jingquan is no longer needed, what about the others?

"I see."

Yan Nan sighed with a somber expression, muttering, "If that's the case... what about the Cloud Weapon Ranking? We can control Night Demon from climbing the rankings, but whether Fang Che climbs or not is not something we can decide..."

"And this time, the ranking of the Cloud Weapon Ranking has been changed and is open to the mainland, so life-or-death battles are not prohibited!"

"At that time, the eyes of the entire continent will be focused here..."

Yan Nan couldn't help but become anxious: "How come everything is happening all at once? When did things become like this? When things are fine, thousands of years pass without incident, but when things start to get serious, it seems like everything has to be done in a single day! What kind of ridiculous mess is this?"

Yan Nan is furious!

I only just learned about the Five Elemental Gu, and the Cloud Weapon Ranking challenge has already begun. If only I had known earlier! If only the Cloud Weapon Ranking challenge had started a little later!

Now, all we can do is watch helplessly as the hope of the Sovereign Sect goes to fight one life-or-death battle after another on the Cloud Weapon Ranking!

This is damn... isn't it making Vice Chief Leader Yan's heart constantly go through life-and-death bungee jumps with Night Demon?

Going up and down, going up and down, this torture is simply...

Yan Suiyun could completely understand Yan Nan's thoughts.

If this had happened before Fang Che returned to the Guardian Continent.

That way, we could even prevent Fang Tu from being resurrected and protect Night Demon within the righteous sect.

But it has now been revived.

Moreover, Sun Wutian displayed an attitude of "invincible and sweeping away everything" over there.

Everything is back on track.

But then this incident came to light.

In the ranking of weapons in the cloud, Fang Tu is the one who needs to win. He is responsible for life and death on the mainland. Even in the confrontation in the southeast, Xue Changqing still needs to rely on Fang Tu. Fang Tu is even on the list of Guardians Headquarters.

Dongfang San San also truly began to give Fang Che a more important role!
At this point, it is absolutely impossible to recall Fang Che to the righteous sect!

And all of this was arranged by Yan Nan himself!
Yan Nan's current feelings are simply... more than just feeling utterly humiliated.

"Why do all these things happen at such an inconvenient time! They're all crammed together, I can't even get out of the way... Damn it, Dongfang San San and Feng Yun Qi will never understand my suffering here! Damn it..."

Yan Nan muttered to herself, "This is really something else..."

Yan Nan was troubled by these matters, and Yan Suiyun was equally helpless.

All I could do was offer some words of comfort: "Actually, I thought about this for a long time before telling you. I understand how you feel right now, because that's what I thought at first too, which is to protect the Night Demon closely."

"But... Night Demon rose from the bottom through countless life-and-death battles. He is a born warrior, forced onto this path by fate. And, to put it bluntly, his abilities were even forced out of him."

"It is because of constant fighting that he has been able to improve so quickly."

"If we keep him under tight protection and deprive him of the environment of combat, his growth may not be fast, and he might even become useless quickly. It's hard to say. What would happen if a natural-born warrior were raised like a spoiled brat? You know the answer to that, Father..."

"Moreover, Night Demon is currently only at the fourth rank of Saint Emperor. He can only refine ordinary Five Elemental Gu at this point; he can't even refine Grandmaster-level ones, let alone high-rank ones..."

"So he still needs to continue to grow in this environment so that his abilities can gradually develop and grow stronger."

"If we protect them... in fact it is protection, but for someone like Night Demon, it's practically like keeping them at home."

"Once the initial drive is extinguished... then the matter of the Five Spirit Gu will be over."

"This is something that can be clearly seen."

Yan Suiyun said, "So, even if it's just our family talking behind closed doors, it's still the same. Please think about it carefully."

Yan Nan nodded slowly: "What you said makes sense, so... this is the biggest advantage of you always standing on the outside, because you can see things that we insiders can't see... but it's also really dangerous."

He sighed deeply: "This little guy is still too weak. How many Saint-level experts are there on the entire continent? Any one of them could easily kill him. But this little bastard is a born troublemaker! He gets into so much trouble every day. With his two identities, whether it's people who want to kill Night Demon or people who want to kill Fang Che... sigh! There are just too many of them..."

"Holy crap... and I arranged all of this..."

Yan Nan looked utterly dejected.

A blister was visibly forming on his lip. He almost sighed, "This is really making me angry..."

"Getting a sore throat won't help."

Yan Suiyun said, "Moreover, the Night Demon's so-called refining ability is useless now. We have to wait for him to grow step by step. At the fourth rank of Saint Emperor, he can deal with ordinary Five Elemental Gu. At around the sixth rank of Saint Emperor, he can reach the General level. When he breaks through to Saint Venerable, he may be able to kill King-level or Emperor-level. Only Saint Monarch can sit at the Saint level, and at most reach the Saint King level."

"Even a Saintly Monarch at the peak of the ninth rank might be able to neutralize a Saintly Venerable of the first or second rank of the Five Elemental Gu. Only by taking a step beyond the starry sky can one hope to refine a Saintly Monarch's Gu; only by completely stepping out of the starry sky can one hope to refine the Five Elemental Gu in your bodies. But the Grand Master's Gu is still hard to say."

The wild geese followed the clouds, pushing forward step by step.

While pushing, I placed rice grains one by one on the table.

Arrange them little by little.

Finally, pointing to the hundreds of grains of rice, he said, "Father, this is the process. You'll have to wait."

Pointing to one of the grains of rice near the end, he said, "Look, this is you. You're here."

Pointing to the first grain of rice, he said, "What Night Demon can do now is right here."

Upon seeing this, Yan Nan suddenly felt weak all over, her eyes glazed over as she stretched out her legs and said, "If you calculate it this way, what hope is there for your father anymore..."

"It's better than before, isn't it?"

"That makes sense."

Yan Nan was just joking on purpose; in reality, Vice Chief Leader Yan was more excited than anyone else!
This is hope!

Hope has finally arrived.

For ten thousand years, they were constantly in danger of being devoured by insects. The whole world was shrouded in darkness, with not a single ray of light.

But now, a sliver of light has appeared.

Although this ray of light is still far away, it has finally appeared.

"Why hasn't that little bastard Night Demon come back yet?"

Yan Nan was starting to lose her composure.

"He's with your granddaughter. Hehe..."

Yan Suiyun gave a wistful smile.

"No wonder he's my granddaughter's husband! My granddaughter has such good taste; she picked a gem in the first place."

"Heh... Shameless old man!"

"I'll fuck your mother!"

Yan Nan cursed and began to give orders: "Don't just sit there, go and grab two low-level followers for me, I want to experiment with them."

Yan Suiyun was dumbfounded: "I'm not a follower of the righteous sect, where am I supposed to find lower-level followers?"

"So, am I supposed to go by myself?" Yan Nan said, annoyed.

"Let your concubine go. Isn't she just sitting around doing nothing?"

Yan Suiyun said with some dissatisfaction, "I really can't stand your righteous sect's practice of treating human life like dirt..."

Yan Nan said matter-of-factly, "There are no good people among the lowly demons of our righteous sect... Alright, I'll make arrangements for Mei'er right away."

The succubus was taking a walk in the dense rain outside, enjoying the feeling of being 'alive,' and was completely bewildered when she received Yan Nan's order.

"Capture a Martial Master-level member of the Sovereign Sect who possesses the Five Elemental Gu? A Grandmaster-level member? A General-level member?"

The succubus was somewhat confused and humbly asked, "What are the levels of Martial Master and Grandmaster?"

Yan Nan was stunned.

The succubus slept for three thousand years, waking up as a ninth-rank Saint King, having long forgotten what the lower ranks were like. Moreover, she simply couldn't grasp the concept: What is a Martial Master? What is a Grandmaster? What use are they...?

"You can go and catch it."

Yan Nan said, "We need to be quick."

Sigh.

It's really difficult to find a follower of the Sovereign Church in the far south of the main road – there haven't been any people here for tens of thousands of years, not even ordinary people, so where are you going to find followers?
Succubi, being relatively new to the profession, especially struggle with tasks that are completely foreign to them...

"Forget it, you don't need to go. I'll arrange for Feng Yun to go."

Yan Nan immediately ordered Feng Yun: "Go find it yourself..."

Feng Yun: "..."

To be honest, Young Master Yun's face was really contorted.

He is now reflecting on his actions: "I should have brought two test subjects with me. I was inexperienced and didn't think things through."

Moreover, it's clear that we can't send anyone to do this.

Since Yan Nan and Yan Suiyun couldn't possibly do this job, they had no choice but to do it themselves.

Yun Shao felt like he had turned himself into a... well, you know.

He sighed and said, "I'll go right away!"

I ventured out into the rain, utterly bewildered: it wasn't there either in this desolate place. Should I go back southeast to look for it?

After weighing the distance in all directions, he finally sighed.

Surprisingly, it's the Southeast region recently...

Feng Yun took out his communication jade and contacted Guan Shandu: "Find me a few people, namely... Do it immediately!"

Then, sighing repeatedly, he ran off. "It's my fault for not being thorough enough."

……

Fang Che and Yan Beihan floated in the air, one in front of the other. Yan Beihan was arrogant in front, while Ye Mo followed humbly behind. It was clear at a glance that the eldest princess had returned with her subordinates.

Yan Beihan was radiant and full of energy, as if she were glowing with beauty.

"Night Demon, look at this fertile land of eighty thousand miles, what will become of it in the future?"

Yan Beihan was quite proud of what he had done.

"A magnificent act that brings blessings to humanity!"

Fang Che understood these things. Although the area below was currently a vast ocean, the life force it was nurtured was becoming increasingly immense.

Now, the earth has been cleansed of the year-round dryness and heat.

The floodwaters will recede quickly, and within a month or two, before people can even get in, the landscape here will be fully formed.

Mountains, rivers, swamps, lakes...

In just a few years, the forest will take shape.

It would take hundreds of years for the population here to grow; but within those hundreds of years, the natural ecology of the entire region would be in complete balance.

Thus, the top-to-bottom ecosystem was formed.

A blessed land where billions of people can live and thrive for generations!
Yan Beihan said happily, "Yes, when I think about this whole land in the future, because of what I did today, so many people are living happily here, I will feel that it's great."

She smiled, pursing her lips: "Thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years from now, this land will be restored by me, Yan Beihan. Just thinking about this makes me happy."

She turned around, her long hair billowing in the rain, keeping the rain out, and smiled languidly: "President Fang, do you think it's a bit ridiculous for a witch like me to do such a thing?"

"What's so funny about following your heart?"

Fang Che laughed and said, "Lord Yan may have forgotten that I am now also known as the Living Buddha of Ten Thousand Families."

Yan Beihan almost burst out laughing: "Right, right, I really forgot."

He then laughed and said, "In this life, just follow your heart. To be honest, at first I only wanted to destroy the Heavenly Fire Palace, but later I realized that with all the wind and snow and the cold air it brought, making such a big commotion, it would be a waste to just destroy the Heavenly Fire Palace."

"Then I discovered that this place was so big, but there was no one around."

Yan Beihan said happily, "So I suddenly had a whim and wanted to do something, so I changed my mind at the last minute. And that's how I ended up doing it."

She chuckled mischievously, glanced around, and craned her neck, saying somewhat furtively, "But when I told them, I said I had a plan all along, talking about luck, creation of the world, and all that... Actually, I was just bragging. It was really a spur-of-the-moment thing, hehehe..."

Fang Che smiled gently: "But that's not wrong either."

"Perhaps I'm right..."

Yan Beihan chuckled, "But those are things that will only happen hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years from now, and besides, I'd have to send someone to spread the word... It's pretty pointless just thinking about it. So I'm thinking that once I've finished this, I'll go back and do whatever I want. I doubt they'll even remember to come here again..."

"Let's just say it was a whim. Hehe... Actually, I feel it's kind of weird to be worshipped like that, with your name written on a plaque and people burning incense and kowtowing to you..."

She laughed to herself and shook her head, saying, "Let's forget about it."

Fang Che smiled from the bottom of his heart: "That's good. But this is equivalent to the merit of mending the sky and creating the world, so it belongs to whoever it belongs to. Whether future generations worship it or not, this is your merit."

"Oops..."

Yan Beihan waved his hands repeatedly: "You keep talking about merit, you sound like a charlatan... There might not be many people here for decades, so let's go."

He took Fang Che with him and flew away.

The two entered the camp one after the other.

They encountered Bi Yunyan, who stood with her arms crossed on a high point in the camp, looking down at all the necessary routes.

He puffed out his cheeks and stared at Yan Beihan without saying a word.

Yan Beihan blushed slightly for no apparent reason.

Because this time, I truly ate alone.

Bi Yunyan snorted, then suddenly rushed over affectionately and hugged Yan Beihan's arm, asking telepathically, "How's the new guy?"

"What new guy?" Yan Beihan asked, completely bewildered.

"If you cut off what's just growing out, isn't that the new thing?" Bi Yunyan pouted.

Yan Beihan blushed to her ears and cursed, "Get out of here!"

"I've been rolling around on the side the whole time..."

Bi Yunyan pouted as she transmitted her voice, looking aggrieved.

Yan Beihan couldn't take it anymore. She shook off Bi Yunyan, her face flushed, and floated inside.

Bi Yunyan sized Fang Che up and down, her face full of arrogance: "Night Demon, you must have had quite a haul this time?"

Knowing that the girl was very jealous, Fang Che coughed and said, "The gains are considerable, but there are also some shortcomings."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"This desolate wilderness is still not as comfortable as having a beautiful wife and concubines at home."

"Hmph, Night Demon, you're quite the womanizer. You're even thinking about concubines?"

"What are you saying, sir? She is the one I love. I think about her all the time, afraid of wronging her, and I always have to make it up to her."

Fang Che said sincerely, "Perhaps you, sir, as a member of the imperial family, do not understand the experiences of us commoners, but every time I go out, I bring back a candy stick for my concubine."

Bi Yunyan's body went limp, but she maintained her haughty demeanor and chuckled, "Night Demon, you're quite the thoughtful one, aren't you? Hmph, you offended me last time in Shenjing."

"Your subordinate knows his guilt. I have been thinking of apologizing to you in person, but you are very busy with official duties and have not been able to find an opportunity."

"Humph!"

Bi Yunyan caught her breath and said, "Then you'd better remember that!"

She turned away with an air of haughtiness and walked away gracefully.

Fang Che breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward: "Please inform Lord Yan that the Night Demon requests an audience."

"The master said you can go straight in when you arrive."

"Thank you."

……

Bi Yunyan walked in the rain, looking at the distant mountains shrouded in mist, her eyes sparkling.

Feng Xue appeared behind her without her noticing, and asked with a frown, "Yunyan, do you know about the Night Demon's concubine?"

Bi Yunyan was startled. She turned around and saw Feng Xue, then patted her chest and said, "Sister Xue, your sudden appearances are really scary... Don't you know about the Night Demon's concubine?"

"I know? When did I know?" Feng Xue was stunned.

"Didn't Night Demon mention that he has two concubines when we had dinner at Brother Feng Yun's house last time?"

Bi Yunyan said.

"Um... that's true."

Feng Xue gave a wry smile: "I thought you knew me, that you'd met me before."

I see myself in the mirror every day.

Bi Yunyan thought to herself, then smiled arrogantly and said, "How could that be? The Night Demon's concubine is not qualified to see me, is she?"

Feng Xue immediately smiled as well: "That's quite true."

Bi Yunyan snorted and said, "If Night Demon finds a legal wife in the future and brings his first wife to pay her respects to me, I will give him face."

Feng Xue smiled faintly and said, "That's hard to say. Perhaps if the Night Demon finds a wife, you, Yunyan, will need to pay your respects to her."

"Hehehe..."

Bi Yunyan rolled her eyes and said, "Sister Xue, you're still not giving up."

"How can we women so easily let go of our hearts?"

Feng Xue leaned against Bi Yunyan, also looking up at the distant misty mountains, and whispered, "Once you fall in love, it lasts a lifetime. Yunyan, you're still young, you haven't experienced that kind of heart-wrenching feeling, alas..."

Feng Xue's brows furrowed with a hint of sorrow as she murmured, "You must know that a woman's heart should not be given lightly; if she falls in love and can easily let go... then that woman is too... too... frivolous, isn't she?"

Bi Yunyan deeply agreed with this statement, saying, "Then, Sister Xue, your path won't be easy."

"It's not easy to walk."

Feng Xue sighed: "Right now, I only dare to talk about it with you and Xiao Han. I don't even dare to reveal these thoughts to anyone else..."

"Hehehe..."

Bi Yunyan smiled enigmatically, her eyes darting around, and said, "Let's go have a drink."

Feng Xue: "Want to drink?"

"Correct."

Why are you drinking?

"I want to drink it."

Bi Yunyan thought to herself, "This is a joint effort between two concubines, of course we should drink! It's just a pity that the other one is still confused."

However, this time, although Bi Yunyan really couldn't find the time to be alone, Yan Beihan's so-called "eating alone" behavior still made Bi Yunyan feel... isolated and helpless.

This won't do!
What if I still can't find a reason to send the Shadow Guards and Soul Guards away next time?

Humph……

Therefore, we must find a solution to this situation no matter what. We can't continue to be so passive...

Look, the first wife is radiant from eating all by herself... Hmph...

Fang Che entered, and as expected, he entered the top-secret space once again.

Yan Nan decisively brought her entire family into her domain.

Wild geese fly south, following the clouds; wild geese fly north, the cold deepens.

A neat and tidy family of four.

"Change your disgusting appearance."

Yan Nan rolled her eyes and gave the order.

However, the sense of 'family' in their tone was unmistakable.

Moreover, seeing Yan Beihan and Fang Che standing together, the anger in Yan Nan and Yan Suiyun's eyes, like 'their little cabbage has been eaten by a pig,' was not so obvious anymore.

I'm not so angry at the pig anymore.

It evokes a sense of helpless acceptance, like "the die is cast, the die is cast, it's already done."

When Fang Che transformed into their own appearance, revealing his dashing and handsome appearance, the two felt even better.

“Suiyun, when I look at Night Demon’s face now, it really does look like Fang Yunzheng.”

Yan Nan smiled at her son.

"Unfortunately, it isn't."

Yan Suiyun sighed in utter disappointment: "If they were descendants of Fang Yunzheng, that would be wonderful!"
