Lord of the night.

Chapter 1360 Gathering of the Peak [Guaranteed Two-in-One!]

"You bastard! How dare you slander my sister's reputation!"

Enraged, Feng Yun kicked Wu Di hard in the chest, his face grim as he shouted, "Wu Di, I've tolerated you for too long! I didn't hold your previous two remarks against you, but you dare to slander my sister's reputation in public?!"

He kicked Wu Di away, then dodged and dragged him back by the neck, slamming him headfirst to the ground with a thud.

He raised his right foot and stomped it directly on Wu Di's mouth, shouting angrily, "Where are the Wu family members? None of the Wu family elders are here?! Come out! Give me an explanation!"

Yan Beihan wanted to make another move, but it was too late; Feng Yun had already erupted in fury.

Seeing Emperor Wu trampled under Feng Yun's feet, Yan Bei coldly drew his longsword: "Kill him with one strike! How dare Emperor Wu wantonly destroy a girl's reputation? If women from the nine great families spread such rumors when their suitors are rejected, what kind of image will our righteous sect have? Kill him! As a warning to others!"

The longsword flashed, about to fall.

"Lord Yan! No..."

"Brother Yun..."

The young men were immediately thrown into a panic. They had been enjoying the spectacle, but suddenly something terrible happened.

Then everyone realized that Emperor Wu's words had greatly damaged the reputation of Feng Xue!

I was immediately jolted and came to my senses.

But... on the other hand, Emperor Wu can't just die like this, or things will get really serious. If he really dies here, everyone present will be implicated.

Immediately, everyone rushed forward to plead for mercy and stop them.

The crowd swayed behind them, and two old men emerged, their faces filled with shame: "Young Master Yun, please forgive us."

Even the guardian shadow guards and soul guards on Emperor Wu's body appeared: "Young Master Yun, please forgive us."

"Forgive me!?"

Feng Yun roared, "If your Wu family doesn't give us an explanation today, this isn't over here, it's over back in Shenjing! Do you think our Feng family is made of clay? Utterly despicable! Even if Vice Chief Wu were here today, I would still ask: How did your Wu family raise your children? To ruin their reputation after failing to win a girl's heart? Is this something a human being would do?!"

"Besides, where is this place? This is Chessboard Peak! All the heroes of the world are here! Everyone is trying to smooth things over and make things easier for you with just one sentence, yet you still insist on going on! Fine! Since you want to lose face, then I'll make sure your Wu family loses face properly today!"

"But why drag my sister into this?"

Feng Yun kicked Wu Di, knocking out all his teeth, and said through gritted teeth, "I've never lost my temper in all these years in the sect. It seems I've been too soft? Someone dares to bully my sister right in front of me?!"

"What am I, Feng Yun? Where do I place the Feng family?!"

"I know you're trying to frame Night Demon, but let me tell you clearly, it doesn't matter if Night Demon dies a thousand times, but my sister's innocence cannot be slandered like this by you!"

These words left all the young masters and members of the Wu family feeling utterly ashamed.

Feng Yun kept insisting on maintaining his "reputation and innocence," and his reasons were so compelling that they were almost excessive.

There is no way to refute this.

A woman's reputation is of paramount importance!
Now, nobody cares about Night Demon's matter. As someone said: "What does it matter if you lose your life? Feng Xue has lost her innocence and reputation!"

Everyone else immediately perked up.

Holy crap! Big news!

The True Cult of Our Own is actually having internal strife!
Although the other parties were too embarrassed to come closer to look, they all pricked up their ears to listen.

Wow!
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a sex scandal.

It was just... so incredibly fun!
And it involves the eldest son of the Wu family, the young lady of the Feng family, and the Night Demon! Oh my, this is huge news!

Everyone listened with great interest, and some even hoped that things would escalate further!
Feng Yun, keep cursing!
It would be best to behead Emperor Wu on the spot!
The Wu family apologized repeatedly, their humility extreme. Although they were of a higher generation than Feng Yun, their status was inferior, and what had happened today was truly appalling.

What Emperor Wu did was utterly baffling.

Seeing that Feng Yun was relentless, the Wu family could only look at Yan Beihan with bitter faces and plead for help. Yan Beihan snorted coldly and glared at them: "Don't look at me! Emperor Wu deserves to die!"

"Emperor Wu deserves to die!" Bi Yunyan clenched her fist.

"This matter is really not the fault of our Feng family. Emperor Wu went too far! How can Feng Xue face people after this, in front of so many people and heroes of the world?"

Chen Xue's pretty face was frosty, showing no mercy: "Emperor Wu deserves to die!"

Helpless, the Wu family could only look at Fang Che and say, "Lord Night Demon..."

"Don't...don't look for me. I have a terrible headache right now. I know no one will believe me, but I can't guarantee that someone won't use this as an excuse to kill me!"

Fang Che shook his head with a wry smile: "Senior, please don't look at me. I'm in dire straits myself. Besides, with Young Master Yun and Miss Yan here, my words are useless."

The Wu family members all wore bitter expressions.

Because what Night Demon said is absolutely true. If someone were to use that as a reason to kill Night Demon, it wouldn't be surprising at all!
The expert from the Wu family sighed deeply, "What a mess this is!"

In fact, everyone knows perfectly well what really happened.

In short: Emperor Wu pursued Feng Xue but was rejected. Enraged and utterly despondent, he erupted in anger and despair.

If it were a normal refusal, that would be fine. But this was in front of all the heroes of the world, directly severing all thoughts.

Moreover, there's another premise: back in the Chaotic Burial Mountains, quite a few people in Shenjing actually knew about the Night Demon's heroic rescue of the damsel in distress.

There were so many people who went back then, the secret couldn't be kept forever. Although a gag order was issued, with Xiong Jiang and Bi Changhong, two big mouths, in the righteous sect, basically... well, let's just say it's a joke.

Then, the rumor that 'Feng Xue seems to like Ye Mo' actually spread at that time.

However, the Feng family was powerful and immediately clarified the situation, and promptly sent Feng Xue far away to Yanbei Han's team as if she were being exiled.

They used strong measures to suppress the matter directly.

Of course, many things happened afterward, such as Feng Xue toasting the Night Demon alone at Feng Yun's wedding... and so on...

If this incident hadn't happened, no matter how much Feng Xue rejected Emperor Wu, he wouldn't have reacted this way: there's plenty of time, there will always be opportunities.

However, with such rumors circulating, Emperor Wu knew he had no chance anymore.

So the hysterical outburst erupted. Why the outburst? The outburst was, in fact, a calculated move: to kill the Night Demon!

You like Night Demon? Then I'll kill him!

It's that simple.

However, Feng Yun, on the other hand, forcibly changed the whole situation, joining forces with Yan Beihan to firmly pin this matter on Feng Xue's reputation!

The stance was clear: First, the Feng family does not acknowledge this matter! Second, your Wu Emperor's nonsense has ruined the reputation of our unmarried daughter; this matter demands an explanation!
No way!
With this arrangement, the matter of 'Feng Xue liking Ye Mo' has not only faded but also become unimportant. What matters now is Wu Di's life or death, Feng Xue's reputation, and the explanation the Feng family demands.

As Feng Yun said: I'd rather the Night Demon die ten thousand times than my sister's reputation is more important!
My sister will get married someday. If her future husband's family keeps thinking about how she dated Night Demon and can't get rid of that thorn in their hearts, wouldn't their happiness be ruined?

One sentence almost completely absolved Night Demon!

Amidst the chaos, a golden light suddenly flashed in the sky, and then the entire world seemed to darken as a giant flying ship descended overhead.

The four large characters above, "Only I" and "Solely Supreme," illuminated the entire world with golden light.

Then, an overwhelming and magnificent aura suddenly descended.

The sky suddenly became cold and clear.

A chilling, icy spirit shrouds the heavens.

Bi Changhong and Bai Jing were the first to walk out.

Then came Yan Nan and others.

To everyone's astonishment, all nine vice leaders of the Righteous Sect, except for Feng Du who had been missing, had actually arrived!
Following them were the young masters of the Sovereign Cult from headquarters who were preparing to participate in the war.

More than three thousand people filed out in an orderly fashion.

While the entire Chessboard Peak was in shock, the Night Demon from the Sovereign Sect momentarily disappeared, then reappeared and hid at the very back of the crowd.

Feng Du replaced Night Demon.

Feng Du lagged behind the crowd, his eyes showing some satisfaction.

He was very satisfied with Feng Yun's decision regarding what had just happened.

The men of the Feng family should do just that! They beat that Wu fellow well!

Most importantly, the reasons were sufficient, and the decision was not absolute, leaving room for maneuver.

In Feng Du's view, this was even more ingenious. If he were currently in the sect, he estimated that he could torment Wu Xiao half to death over this matter alone...

This gives the elders a chance to shine.

Feng Yun is good.

Feng Du praised him in his heart.

At the same time, Fang Che's body swayed briefly in the guardian queue before reappearing.

In that fleeting moment, Sun Wutian had already quietly left, and the real Fang Che stood in his place.

The old devil felt a sense of satisfaction.

I'm so awesome! I'm the only one here who's completely fine. Look at Feng Laosan, hahaha, he's a stunt double, hahaha...

Substituting one thing for another and then using the "golden cicada shedding its shell" trick—I'm just too clever for my own good.

And even now, Feng Laosan still hasn't come to his senses. Tsk tsk, so satisfying! I'm so happy!

sky.

The airship came to a stop.

Yan Nan, dressed in black, landed with a somber expression.

They noticed something was wrong from mid-air and glanced over.

Everyone immediately fell silent, kneeling down in unison to pay their respects: "Greetings, Vice Grand Master!"

Yan Nan ignored him and strode towards the high stands that had been cleared out.

This is a familiar spot.

They ignored the chaos here.

Yan Nan strode forward with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, his cloak billowing, his imposing presence so great that no one on the entire Qipan Peak dared to breathe loudly!
Several deputy leaders and old demons followed, striding forward.

Its momentum was overwhelming.

The oncoming southerly wind was directly redirected and turned into a northerly wind.

It gives people the feeling that these people are unstoppable and reckless wherever they go; mountains and rivers bow down, and the sun and moon lose their light!
Chen Gu, who was walking at the back, frowned, turned around and went to Feng Yun's side. He asked with a cold face, "What's going on?"

Feng Yun hurriedly reported: "It's like this..."

He explained the matter in extremely concise language.

Chen Gu said coldly, "Just for this? You put on a grand show in front of all the heroes of the world? To make a fool of my so-called righteous sect in front of all the heroes of the world?"

Feng Yun lowered his head: "It was Sun Sun's fault. He couldn't help himself by involving his sister's reputation."

Chen Gu snorted: "Make Emperor Wu stand up."

Then, with a flick of his wrist, a pill fell into Emperor Wu's mouth: "Circulate your energy and recover!"

"Thank you, Chen Zu."

Emperor Wu offered a vague expression of gratitude. After consuming the elixir, its pure medicinal power took effect, and Emperor Wu's injuries visibly healed. Chen Gu waited with his hands behind his back.

When Emperor Wu had fully recovered, he stepped forward to pay his respects.

Chen Gu said calmly, "I'm giving you a lesson today! Remember this: you can't perform this kind of act again!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeve, revealing a fair hand, and swung it across Emperor Wu's face.

Boom!
That slap shook the mountains and the earth.

Even the chessboard peak seemed to sway slightly.

Under the control of Chen Gu's divine power, the beaten Emperor Wu remained motionless, but his body was covered in blood, which gushed out in a riot of colors.

It was like a colored light bomb exploding on the spot.

Newly grown teeth clattered and fell to the ground again. But he remained perfectly conscious, unable to faint even if he wanted to.

This injury is even more severe than the one Feng Yun inflicted earlier.

Chen Gu stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the sky with a cold gaze, and said indifferently, "No healing allowed! Disqualify him from this Cloud Challenge! Let him lie here and watch! Feng Yun!"

"exist!"

"Watch this! If he dares to utter another disrespectful word, you'll take him to Wu Xiao! I'll have Vice Chief Master Wu execute him personally!"

After saying that, he looked at Wu Di and said indifferently, "A piece of trash who can't even be brought to the table! He truly disgusts me! The Wu family actually produced such a person. It seems Wu Xiao will soon be punished!"

He then turned to Feng Yun, Feng Xue, and Ye Mo: "That's it for this matter! If anyone tries to cause trouble for Ye Mo using this excuse in the future, I'll handle it!"

"Furthermore, regardless of whether it's true or false, I, the Vice Grand Master, hereby declare: It doesn't exist! It's forbidden! Only the daughters of the nine great families of our righteous sects cannot be involved in such a thing! Feng Yun, do you understand?"

"understood."

"Night Demon!"

Chen Gu looked at Ye Mo: "Do you understand? Don't court death!"

Feng Du, playing the Night Demon: "...Understood."

"Holy crap, I'm going to kill Chen Gu!" Feng Du roared inwardly.

They actually pressed me for answers like that!

Chen Gu clearly didn't recognize his third brother at all. He snorted and turned to leave. His black cloak flashed like stars shifting, and he was already on the stands.

Yan Beihan and Feng Yun had serious, expressionless faces, but they were secretly amused: Fang Che had told them telepathically when he left: I'm going over there.

Now both of them naturally know that the Night Demon here is no longer the real person.

It should be the Chief Protector.

The Chief Protector must have felt terrible after being scolded so harshly by Vice Chief Master Chen, but he couldn't retaliate.

Wow...that's awesome.

In the distance, Bai Jing watched Chen Gu approach, frowning and angrily demanding, "Why didn't you kill him?! What's the point of keeping such a thing alive?"

Chen Gu was speechless: "Shut up! If everyone followed your standards, our righteous sect would have been wiped out long ago!"

"A soft heart and a soft hand will prevent you from achieving great things!"

Bai Jing said disdainfully, "You dare call yourselves demons?!"

Then he said to Yan Nan, "Fifth Brother! Let me do these kinds of things from now on!"

Yan Nan frowned and glared at him: "This is none of your business! Just wait to take the blame, and you don't need to worry about anything else."

Bai Jing exclaimed, "...So we're just waiting to die? Nothing else matters to me?"

"Yeah, you just stay quiet and wait to die!"

Yan Nan cursed.

Bai Jing: "...Damn!"

Just then, a faint buzzing sound came from the sky again, and then another huge black shadow appeared overhead. The Guardian's flying ship had arrived!

Over there, Dongfang San San appeared.

Upon exiting the flying boat, Heru's gaze immediately fell upon Yan Nan while still airborne.

Subsequently, Yu Tianqi, Rui Qianshan, and others appeared one after another.

However, a handsome man in his thirties, with a natural and unrestrained demeanor, who was standing next to Dongfang San San, caught Yan Nan's attention.

This person looked young, but his eyes were extremely deep, as if countless changes of time had witnessed the passage of a thousand sails and the flow of ten thousand generations in those eyes.

All eight deputy leaders looked up at the same time.

The man, with a calm expression, strolled leisurely behind Dongfang San San, before descending from the sky.

As they descended into the air, Dongfang San San smiled faintly: "Brother Yan, I've never seen you arrive early before. This time, you're even earlier than me? That's truly unexpected."

Yan Nan frowned solemnly and said calmly, "This is my courtesy to Military Advisor Dongfang. Military Advisor Dongfang has always put me at a disadvantage, and a little politeness is only right for a strong person."

"Brother Yan, you're too kind. But since you're all here, aren't you afraid of your home being raided?"

Dongfang San San smiled.

"Hahaha..." Yan Nan laughed arrogantly: "Steal my home? There's no one in this world who dares to do that!"

"Brother Yan is so domineering."

Yan Nan looked at the middle-aged man behind Dongfang San San, clasped his hands and said, "Yan Nan greets Lady Xue Wu. It has been ten thousand years since we last met. Your demeanor is even more dignified than before."

The middle-aged man, Xue Wu, smiled faintly: "Vice Grand Master Yan is too kind. He is nothing more than an old bone that has been dug up from its coffin. On the contrary, Vice Grand Master Yan's leadership of the entire sect and his awe-inspiring presence make even this old man feel that he is indeed majestic and powerful."

"My lord is joking."

Yan Nan's attitude was arrogant yet respectful.

Neither overbearing nor overbearing.

However, it is clear that the attitude towards this person is quite different from that towards Dongfang San San.

Xue Wu smiled faintly, put her hands behind her back and looked down, saying, "Bi Changhong, Bai Jing, Chen Gu, Yu Hanyan, Wu Xiao, Xiang Beidou, Xiong Jiang... they are all old friends... not bad, it was really the right decision to come today."

The seven people clasped their hands in unison: "Lady Xuewu!"

"We have different stances, no need for formalities." Xue Wu smiled. "Today, we're just watching the show."

"Hahaha……"

The eight vice-leaders laughed simultaneously: "That's right, we're just watching the show."

Then Dongfang San San and the others landed and sat down opposite Yan Nan and the others, and then both sides began to adjust.

Yan Nan and Dongfang San San sat down on opposite sides of a table again.

Feng Wanshi stood straight behind Dongfang Sansan.

Once the situation stabilized, someone immediately stepped forward to report what had happened before the leaders arrived, ensuring that the leaders were fully informed and could make the right decisions.

The battle between Fang Che and Night Demon is of paramount importance.

Of course, internal strife within the Sovereign Church is also a factor.

Since it all happened in public, there was nothing to hide, so Dongfang San San simply didn't let them talk about it and just listened to the report from the Weiwo Zhengjiao with Yan Nan.

Wu Xiao, who was sitting at the next table, had an extremely gloomy face, and his eyes were like flying knives as he looked down at where Wu Di was.

If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't the right time to lose one's temper, Wu Xiao would have already gone down and torn that unfilial descendant to pieces!
That's absolutely outrageous!

Feng Xue is backed by Feng Du and the Feng family. Ye Mo is backed by Yan Nan, Bai Jing, Sun Wutian, and Duan Xiyang. Do you really think I'm that thick-skinned to be able to fight against all these people at the same time?
Spreading this kind of pornographic rumor is not only courting death, it's putting your ancestor on the hot oil stove!

Wu Xiao's eyes were ferocious, and his face turned pale, then purple, then white, then red.

Bi Changhong, Yu Hanyan, Xiang Beidou, and Xiong Jiang all glanced at Wu Xiao's face with gloating eyes, then glanced at him again... Hehe, Wu Xiao's face looks really good, haha!

Bai Jing, with a cold face, said directly to Wu Xiao: "Look at your pathetic state! Look at the good-for-nothing grandson you raised! What kind of garbage has he done! He can even make a yellow stain on the wall when he paints it. You don't even have any manners, and you call yourself an ancestor! How dare you shoot him!? I'm ashamed of you!"

Wu Xiao's face instantly turned ashen!
"Ha ha ha ha……"

Bi Changhong and the others laughed heartily, bending over with joy.

Bai Jing persisted, saying to Wu Xiao, "When we get back, Eighth Brother will give you special training—a year of special training in Ice Spirit Cold Soul!"

Wu Xiao's face contorted in pain as he whispered, "I'll deal with it when I get back!"

"What's the point of dealing with it? Just kill it! Keeping it alive is disgusting!" Bai Jing said decisively.

"..."

Wu Xiao was speechless. This...this is how they killed him?
You, Bai Jing, really don't treat other people's offspring as your own.

But then he thought about it and his expression turned even uglier: Bai Jing didn't even consider his own descendants as his descendants...

next to.

"Equally matched? Neck and neck?" Yan Nan was more interested in the battle between Ye Mo and Fang Che. She frowned slightly and looked at Tian Wang Xiao, who had come to report.

"Yes."

I'd rather live by the rules than by the regulations.

He was much more well-behaved than usual.

After all, the Eastern strategist was also present, and Ning Zaifei was carrying the kill order personally signed by him.

Ning Zaifei now felt a tingling sensation all over his body. The gazes shooting at him from all around made him feel as if he had been torn to pieces by those green eyes.

It's important to know that fulfilling the Eastern Strategist's kill order comes with generous rewards and honors.

Ning Zaifei is such a treasure.

It's certain that everyone cares a lot.

Yan Nan frowned, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "I understand."

Ning Zaifei bowed respectfully, then, after a moment's thought, bowed slightly to Dongfang San San as well, before stepping away.

Dongfang San San raised her head slightly, looking at Ning Zaifei with warm eyes, just like a kind elder looking at his most sensible grandson.

But that look made Ning Zaifei's heart clench and her forehead break out in a cold sweat.

“Ning, the Dharma Protector.”

Dongfang Sansan smiled warmly and said, "You haven't completed my kill order yet."

This question was asked.

Ning Zaifei's face turned purple.

What do you mean? I'm here to carry out your kill order? Your target is me, okay?
