Lord of the night.

Chapter 1357 Autumn Colors Shared Equally! [Two-in-One]

"Perhaps not... Could there be other undiscovered forces in this world?"

Yan Beihan's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her tone was a little unsteady, because she wasn't sure if she was right when she said those words.

After all, the Divine Weasel Cult and the Spirit Serpent Cult had never been discovered before.

"It may still exist, but it may not have disappeared."

Feng Yun pondered for a moment and said, "But we must make the necessary preparations."

"good."

Yan Beihan nodded: "Whether it happens or not, we should prepare for what we do."

"Half a month ago, the Guardian Headquarters was in turmoil, and the weather was unusual. After making inquiries from various sources, I confirmed that it was because the Guardian's Lady Xuewu had emerged from seclusion."

Feng Yun said solemnly, "So, this is another turning point. I wonder if Lady Xue Wu will attend this year's Cloud Weapon Ranking competition? Given her level, is it possible that she would be interested?"

"Hmm? Lady Xuewu?"

Yan Beihan was somewhat unfamiliar with the name. After thinking for a while, he suddenly frowned: "Before Lord Xue Fuxiao, the first winner of the first Cloud Weapon Ranking? Lord Xue Wu? Wasn't he dead?"

"..."

Feng Yun shook his head and said, "The information is definitely correct."

Yan Beihan pondered for a moment and said, "Now that Lord Xue Fuxiao is not here, and Military Advisor Dongfang has been invited by my grandfather to watch the battle, I'm afraid Lady Xuewu will not feel at ease. Therefore, she will definitely come along."

“That’s what I think too,” Feng Yun said slowly.

"But if Lady Xuewu comes, we don't have enough people on our side. Who can match Xuewu to maintain the balance?" Yan Beihan asked worriedly.

“I don’t think it’s a problem; although Lady Xuewu has emerged from seclusion, we are not without experts on our side. So what I’m worried about is not Lady Xuewu, but someone else.” Feng Yun frowned: “That person is the one I’m truly worried about.”

"Who?" Yan Beihan asked, then immediately realized what was going on: "Lord Yumeng?"

Feng Yun nodded slightly: "Feng Shuang, Yu Meng, and Xue Wu were entangled in life-and-death struggles with the Grand Master, their grudges intertwined, and they all perished at the same time. But the one whose death was truly reported was the strongest of the three, Lord Feng Shuang; the other two were not even mentioned. Now that Lord Xue Wu has emerged from seclusion, what about Yu Meng?"

Yan Beihan's pretty face grew increasingly solemn, and she remained silent for a long time.

"Let's take it one step at a time. The battles in the Cloud Weapon Ranking are to avoid the great wars of the world. Even Ning Zaifei was able to come with the Kill Order, so the seniors will not intentionally attack us juniors."

Feng Yun smiled faintly: "You can rest assured."

"Who is the expert you mentioned on our side?" Yan Beihan was still a little uneasy.

Feng Yun gave her a meaningful look, then switched to telepathy and said, "My ancestor has emerged from seclusion."

"what?"

Yan Beihan was greatly alarmed.

He couldn't help but turn around and look at Feng Xue.

I have this strange feeling... something's not right!
He transmitted his voice, "Has Vice Grand Master Feng emerged from seclusion? Is he currently in the sect? Will he also be coming to Chessboard Peak this time?"

Feng Yun coughed and said, "My ancestor went to Hechuan as soon as he came out of seclusion. He should be looking for Protector Sun, or maybe he'll go and check on Night Demon."

"what?"

Yan Beihan felt an even greater sense of crisis: "Why is Grandpa Feng going to see the Night Demon? He doesn't even know him."

"Play chess."

Feng Yun laughed and said, "As you know, my ancestor is a chess fanatic, and Night Demon's chess skills are among the best in our sect. The other one is Chen Xi, but Chen Xi is very polite and considerate when playing chess with the ancestor; while Night Demon, as you know, is lawless and unruly. Who knows, he might really be able to defeat the ancestor soundly."

"And that would be the happiest thing for my ancestor."

Yan Beihan's pretty face was somewhat blank and distorted.

He couldn't help but twist his thigh with one hand.

She knew Fang Che's chess skills; she was no match for him at all in a game now.

How did Fang Che develop his chess skills? He forced himself to develop them!

Back in the Three Realms, during those long years, there really wasn't much to do. We couldn't just spend all our time practicing martial arts and having sex, could we?

So Yan Beihan started teaching Fang Che how to play chess, and kept raising the bar: "I'll let you win once you reach this level..."

I'll do whatever you want...

Finally, it's just that if you beat me, I'll...

And that was it. Later on, even with Bi Yunyan and I working together as advisors, we were no match for Fang Che.

He was at a disadvantage from the start and kept losing. Then Fang Che started setting various conditions for himself...

He single-handedly trained Night Demon into someone who could abuse him.

Later on, playing chess became that guy's way of torturing himself. The conditions were varied and numerous...

Yan Beihan had long regretted it. How could he have spoken so confidently back then?

Now I regret it even more.

Because Feng Xue is interested in Ye Mo, and Feng Du, as the first deputy leader, went to find Ye Mo to play chess... If... if while playing chess, he ended up bringing Feng Xue into his own home, wouldn't that be like digging a hole for himself?
Would this have happened if I hadn't taught Night Demon how to play chess?
Yan Beihan was filled with regret at that moment.

What's wrong with me?
Why is everything I've painstakingly done working against me?

It's not enough that I brought Bi Yunyan in; do I also want to win over Feng Xue with the chess skills I taught her? What's the point of all my hard work and strict defense then?
"Hey……"

Yan Beihan didn't even care that Feng Yun was right in front of him; he sighed mournfully. His heart was filled with endless sorrow, and he was utterly speechless.

Teaching Fang Che to play chess, and giving him excuses to bully her time and time again, was one thing—after all, they were husband and wife—but Feng Xue…

But then I thought about it again. From the very beginning of the plan to raise Gu to become a god, Night Demon has become more and more excellent. Isn't that part of the credit for him?
They send all sorts of things and resources.

In the end, those two little hooves were able to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor.
"Didn't Night Demon tell you about the Ancestor's return from seclusion?"

Feng Yun chuckled mischievously, subtly setting a trap for Fang Che: "He told me... I thought he told you."

"!!!"

A nameless anger suddenly rose in Yan Beihan's heart, and he gritted his teeth, making a grinding sound.

"Nightmare is too busy. It's normal that he didn't tell you."

Feng Yun coughed, gave Ye Mo a perfunctory explanation, and then said, "Hehe..."

Feng Yun's provocation was blatant and undisguised.

It has to be said that making Night Demon suffer is the happiest thing for Feng Yun right now!
The most pleasing sight in the world.

“I know he’s busy,” Yan Beihan said, suppressing a sigh.

She kept reminding herself: Feng Yun is stirring things up, I can't get angry, I can't get angry... I can't get angry...

"Will Grandpa Feng Du come this time?" Yan Beihan asked expectantly.

He kept praying in his heart: Please don't come! I'd even accept being crushed by the Guardians once. But please, Grandpa Feng Du, don't come and cause trouble.

I really can't take it anymore.

What I can't stand is that I'm the one who dragged my own love rivals into this mess!

I am Yan Beihan. I have been smart since I was a child and I can handle anything. But when it comes to the most important thing in my life, I keep shooting myself in the foot!
Pick it up and smash it!

They picked it up, then smashed it down again!

Now, it looks like another piece is about to be moved!
Yan Beihan was about to cry.

“Night Demon is here to climb the rankings, and given my ancestor’s obsession with chess, he won’t let any opportunity slip by. So as long as Night Demon’s chess skills are sufficient, my ancestor will definitely come along.”

Feng Yun smiled and said, "So, don't worry. Although the Guardians have Senior Xue Wu coming out of seclusion, we also have my ancestor to back us up."

"Great!"

Yan Beihan feigned a happy and relaxed demeanor, but in reality, tears were streaming down her face.

Sure enough... the stone was lifted again...

Then it suddenly dawned on me: Master, you're finished! You haven't contacted me at all during this time!

They didn't even tell me about this!
Although Yan Beihan understood that with Feng Du and Sun Wutian there, Fang Che would probably be so trained that he wouldn't even have time to breathe, let alone chat with him.
But knowing is one thing!

The truth is, you can't reason with him now!

After all, you told Feng Yun but not me!

So, it's all Night Demon's fault!

As I was thinking, suddenly the wind and clouds surged ahead, and an inexplicable malevolent aura swept over us.

A figure appeared out of nowhere in the distant sky, still just a small black dot, and was flying towards them at high speed.

But Yan Beihan recognized him at a glance.

I must say, you came at just the right time!

Night Demon!

I'm going to have to settle some score with you this time!

Yan Beihan gritted his teeth.

A menacing aura filled the air as a burly, black-clad demon with a thick beard and billowing hair, accompanied by a sky full of red mist, charged in with overwhelming ferocity.

With a whoosh, it landed in front of Feng Yun and the others: "Greetings, Senior Bing; Young Master Yun; Sister-in-law; Lord Yan; Lord Bi; Miss Feng. You've all arrived so early."

Ning Zaifei stepped forward: "Greetings, Your Excellency."

"Ah."

Fang Che raised his hand: "When you're out and about, Protector Ning, there's no need to be so polite."

Ning Zaifei insisted: "Rules are rules."

Bing Tianxue smiled faintly: "Ning Zaifei, you have improved a lot since then."

"Sister Bing is praising me; I was confused before."

Ning Zaifei smiled obsequiously at Bing Tianxue, knowing he dared not provoke her, lest he get beaten up. He had been beaten up by Bing Tianxue many times in his life.

Over there, Yan Beihan stared at Fang Che with a cold expression and icy glint in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and spoke in a voice as sharp as ice: "Night Demon, it's fine that you put Aunt Bing first, but why am I right after Feng Yun? What, now that you have a brother, sister-in-law, and old boss, you're no longer important?"

"No, no, no, Lord Yan has misunderstood."

Fang Che was completely confused: What's wrong with this girl now?
I haven't been paying much attention to her lately.

These past few days, with Feng Du's arrival, I haven't had a single moment to myself. I've been so busy with this that I fall asleep the moment I close my eyes and start snoring, and I haven't sent any messages. But just a few days ago, we were all so sweet and affectionate. How did things suddenly change?

Fang Che was completely baffled.

Bi Yunyan remained silent, trembling with fear.

"Hmph, what misunderstanding? You Night Demon, you've grown wings now, and you're associating with big shots all the time."

Yan Beihan said angrily, "I am just a woman, and I can't give you a good future, so you've started to look down on me."

This is simply throwing a big accusation at someone.

Fang Che apologized repeatedly, his eyes pleading for help from Feng Yun, Bi Yunyan, and the others.

"Hey, Xiao Han, we're all so familiar with each other now, let's not worry about who came first. Night Demon was just saying hello casually."

Feng Xue couldn't bear it and stepped in to smooth things over: "Never mind, never mind."

Bi Yunyan stood motionless, knowing full well that while Night Demon might get a few scoldings, her elder sister wouldn't hold a grudge. But if she dared to step forward now, her life would be truly extraordinary; she'd likely be tortured for half a year straight…

Feng Yun gave Chen Xue a wink, signaling her to go up and persuade her.

Feng Yun himself knew perfectly well that Yan Beihan was jealous. After all, everyone could see Feng Xue's feelings for Ye Mo, and now that Feng Du had emerged from seclusion...

If Feng Xue wants to achieve her goal, no one but Feng Du can truly help her.

Therefore, Feng Xue will inevitably seek Feng Du's help; and this is what Yan Beihan fears most.

Because if Feng Du were to speak out, no one in our righteous sect could withstand him.

Despite everyone's attempts to dissuade him, Yan Beihan snorted and turned to leave.

He was thinking to himself that he should discuss this with Bi Yunyan later. If this matter is left to develop like this... it will probably turn into something bad.

He wouldn't refuse Fang Che, that lecherous bastard... Hmph.

Fang Che was pulled away by Feng Yun, completely bewildered: How did I offend her again? What went wrong?

As he walked, he transmitted his voice to Feng Yun: "Young Master Yun, what's wrong with Lord Yan?"

Feng Yun coughed and sent a telepathic message back: "Didn't you tell her that my ancestor went to your place?"

"I was arrested right after I finished telling you, how could I have had time to report?"

Fang Che understood, and turned to look at Feng Yun with a probing gaze: "Young Master Yun, did you sell me out?"

"It's not a sale."

Feng Yun smiled calmly: "It's just that a peerless expert has emerged from seclusion on the guardian's side, which worries Lord Yan. So, to put Lord Yan's mind at ease, I told him about the ancestor's emergence from seclusion."

Fang Che gritted his teeth and hissed, "And then you accidentally told me what I told you?"

"Actually, it's not my fault."

Feng Yun said with a sanctimonious air, "I thought you told her first and then me. Night Demon, I'm very touched that you actually told me first. You hold such a high place in your heart. I'm very touched."

"Young Master Yun!"

A vein throbbed on Fang Che's forehead: "If she knew, what would she be worried about? Young Master Yun, did you deliberately tell me this loophole?"

Feng Yun coughed: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! It really was an accident."

"What a true brother!"

Fang Che gritted his teeth: "Feng Yun! I'm so lucky to have a brother like you in this life, it's like my ancestors' graves were emitting black smoke."

"Actually, think about it. I'm doing this for your own good."

"……Ah."

Fang Che didn't answer, and quickened his pace. He couldn't be bothered to look at Feng Yun's repulsive face.

Feng Yun gathered his spiritual power and followed closely behind, calmly transmitting his voice: "Night Demon, I really didn't mean to frame you, you have to believe me, I just wanted to see you suffer, hahaha..."

Feng Yun finally burst into laughter.

"!!!"

Fang Che kept his head down and walked quickly.

However, Feng Yun's cultivation level was now higher than his, and he stayed close behind him, beaming with joy and barely able to speak: "Don't worry, it's just getting scolded and beaten a few times. What's that to a man... I'll be watching from the sidelines... cough cough, I'll plead for you..."

"You just want to see me get beaten up, don't you!"

"The way you said it makes it impossible for anyone to deny that you really deserve to die... We're brothers."

"Feng Yun! You son of a bitch!"

"I don't have a powerful uncle, but isn't my second uncle working for you now? How convenient, using your position to settle personal scores, tsk tsk... Go ahead and deal with him. Kill him if you want! I support your revenge!"

"……roll!"

The two cursed at each other while speeding up, getting faster and faster.

Like two plumes of black smoke flying forward at high speed.

Behind her, Chen Xue curled her lip and said, "Look at this, this is what men are like. When they see their own brothers coming, they even abandon their wives."

Yan Beihan snorted and said, "When Feng Yun was in the Yin-Yang Realm, he had a very good impression of Jiang Bixiao of this Heavenly Palace and praised her many times. This time, he's putting on a good act, pretending not to know her. Heh... Men."

Yan Beihan understood, of course, that Feng Yun was deliberately trying to provoke a fight between him and the Night Demon.

So although she was genuinely angry because of Feng Yun's provocation, she didn't mind digging a pit for Feng Yun.

Since you're trying to sow discord between us, I'll sow discord between you.

As expected, Chen Xue was stunned: "Jiang Bixiao? I didn't recognize her just now?"

"If Feng Yun could see through you, then he wouldn't be Feng Yun."

Yan Beihan said calmly, "Back in the Yin-Yang Realm, Feng Yun's fate was still undecided. Moreover, he valued the power of the Heavenly Palace, and Jiang Bixiao's status and position were a good match for him. Furthermore, she was able to get Feng Yun into the Heavenly Palace. So during that time, Feng Yun always followed the people of the Heavenly Palace, especially in the final moments, when he stayed by their side. If Jiang Bixiao hadn't had her reservations, how could it have been your turn, Chen Xue?"

"If you don't believe me, go ask Feng Yun yourself. Wasn't he following behind the people from the Heavenly Palace back then? And he even wanted Jiang Bixiao's ring..."

Yan Beihan was telling the truth.

However, the true purpose was not mentioned: Feng Yun had indeed been following the people from the Heavenly Palace for some time, because among those who entered, apart from Fang Che, Yan Beihan, and Feng Yun, the people from the Heavenly Palace obtained the most.

So Feng Yun followed along, stealing things.

As for wanting Jiang Bixiao's ring... to put it bluntly, at that time, Feng Yun wanted everyone's ring, not just Jiang Bixiao's.

This has absolutely nothing to do with romantic relationships.

But some things depend on who says them and who listens.

Yan Beihan has a very good reputation with Chen Xue. Absolutely reliable!

Most importantly, Jiang Bixiao and Feng Yun truly have a perfect match. Regardless of their social status, they are well-suited.

The key point is that Jiang Bixiao is also a rare and exceptional beauty in this world.

With bright, expressive eyes, a graceful figure, unparalleled beauty, and a noble, aloof demeanor.

Chen Xue's face immediately darkened.

Yan Beihan said, "Feng Yun didn't tell you about this, did he? But it's quite normal, men know what I mean. Chen Xue, you need to be more open-minded."

Feng Xue said from the side, "Sister-in-law, don't listen. Xiao Han is deliberately trying to incite you two to fight."

Yan Beihan nodded calmly: "It was just stirring up trouble, I didn't hide it. I've wanted to get back at Feng Yun for a long time; Chen Xue helped me get revenge... Besides, I'm not making this up, Chen Xue, you can ask Feng Yun yourself. Back then, he followed Jiang Bixiao like a lecherous wolf."

He patted Chen Xue on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Feng Yun may have settled down now, but I have to tell you, you can't be too indulgent with men, otherwise he'll bring one woman after another home, and sooner or later he'll drive you crazy. Sometimes, even if you're wronging him, you have to find a few weaknesses to hold onto. Chen Xue, you have to be careful. Look at Jiang Bixiao when she came out to smooth things over and explain, she was looking at Feng Yun's face the whole time. Heh, you know what that means."

This is even more of a fabricated charge. This group is clearly led by Feng Yun. If they're not talking to Feng Yun, who are they talking to?
However, these words made Chen Xue feel immediately: Indeed, have I been too lenient with Feng Yun?

Xiaohan is right!
Chen Xue gritted her teeth and groaned twice.

She knew, of course, that Yan Beihan was trying to sow discord, but there was one truth in his words: one should not be too indulgent towards men.

Otherwise, taking advantage of someone's kindness is just a trivial matter.

So, fuming and speechless, he flew away...

In an instant, the two good brothers turned each other's families upside down.

While General Manager Fang suffered a complete defeat and retreated steadily, Yan Beihan's side advanced triumphantly and won a great victory.

With this balance, well, it's a draw.

In the blink of an eye, the number of people in front of us began to increase.

The people on Qipan Peak became alert.

Because, from the south to the north, a crazy energy is rising up everywhere!

One side shone with dazzling white light, exuding murderous intent; the other side was filled with crimson light, radiating malevolent energy.

call out!
Feng Yun and Fang Che simultaneously charged up Qipan Peak with overwhelming malevolent energy, rising dozens of feet into the air. They formed a spiritual energy barrier around themselves and expanded their divine sense to avoid being attacked as soon as they appeared.

Blood mist filled the sky, and malevolent energy soared into the heavens.

Everyone understood: The Night Demon of the Righteous Cult has arrived!

Fang Che's blood mist completely obscured Feng Yun's figure, making him invisible to others. This was, of course, intentional: I'm protecting you!
In the name of protection, let this guy suffer in silence first.

They only saw the Night Demon, so the people from the Righteous Cult shouted in unison, "Night Demon! Night Demon!"

On the other side, a righteous aura suddenly appeared, and an infinitely sharp energy soared into the sky. Then, nine figures soared into the sky with magnificent momentum and landed on Chessboard Peak.

The leader was dressed in a black cloak, with a dark, star-like glow. He was tall and handsome.

It was none other than Fang Che, the captain of the life-and-death patrol team!

Fang Tu!

Xue Changqing and the others, who had already arrived, were overjoyed and shouted in unison, "President Fang! President Fang is here!"

Xue Changqing stood up abruptly, his face beaming with smiles.

When the Night Demon's aura first appeared, Xue Changqing was even a little worried, but now, all his worries are gone!
Mr. Fang is here!
However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Fang Che and Night Demon, who had soared into the sky, did not land.

Instead, they suddenly took flight, shooting at each other across the sky, meeting high above, their eyes locked, their killing intent soaring to the heavens.

From the moment they appeared, their auras were entangled wildly, their power clashing, their killing intent clashing, and their murderous intent clashing!
Just like the entanglement of fate, the opposition of heaven and earth, and the contradiction of life and death, even if one side wants to retreat, it cannot.

It has already been locked in by the opponent's momentum and aura.
