"Nothing but rats and dogs!"

Yan Nan said dismissively. Then he said, "Just these five?"

"The Heavenly Palace and the Underworld are together in the south."

Dongfang San San smiled.

"The Heavenly Emperor and the Earthly Venerable haven't come again..." Yan Nan asked suspiciously, "Weren't they at the Guardian Headquarters all this time?"

Dongfang San San smiled wryly: "Brother Yan, you've done a really good job with this intelligence. You even know what kind of underwear I wear every day, right?"

Yan Nan said disgustedly, "I really have no interest in asking about your white underwear."

Dongfang San San's face contorted.

Although Yan Nan was joking, she really was...

The afternoon seemed to drag on endlessly as the time passed.

Granny Huang and Xue Wu sat at the same table, but the two of them didn't speak a word to each other the whole time, let alone communicate telepathically.

It seems that its main focus is really just on companionship.

But the two of them had one thing in common: their eyes would sweep across the landscape, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

A sense of desolation and loneliness naturally emanated from the two of them.

The young masters who were about to compete for the top spot in the Guardians gathered together and formed a square formation.

Everyone's eyes were shining.

Xue Changqing then warmly pulled Fang Che over to join Xue Yizun and the others.

"Mr. Fang, what place do you want to get this time?" Xue Changqing asked with a smile.

"I have no idea how far I can go."

Fang Che smiled wryly, "This is my first time attempting to climb the Cloud Weapon Ranking... I have absolutely no experience."

"Stop it."

Everyone laughed together: "Who hasn't done it for the first time?"

"However, Night Demon should be able to reach a very high level this time," Fang Che said thoughtfully.

"rest assured!"

Xue Changqing chuckled, put his arm around Fang Che's shoulder, and winked as he transmitted his voice: "He can't get past him. Night Demon can only get below Xue Yizun at most."

Fang Che said, "That's already very high."

"Ahem, this time, one of them will be in charge of guarding the gate."

Xue Changqing transmitted his voice and laughed, "As long as you make sure you don't fall off the list, everything else is irrelevant. No matter who tries to climb the list, you can easily defeat one of them... Then, just wait to keep the Night Demon out!"

"..."

Fang Che was completely bewildered: "You can do that?"

"Of course!"

Xue Changqing said, "This is an order from headquarters! Night Demon's cultivation is progressing too fast. If he has the speed boost from the Cloud Weapon Ranking, his future is unimaginable. So this time, we must use any means necessary to keep him outside the Cloud Weapon Ranking!"

"This...tsk tsk, it actually looks pretty good."

Fang Che felt relieved.

By doing this... they wouldn't have to worry about being exposed. They just needed to play a few matches and see Xue Yizun guarding the gate, and the True Cult would basically understand why.

They basically won't send Night Demons on adventures anymore.

Because the battle for the rankings is a life-or-death struggle. It would be perfectly normal for Xue Yizun to kill Ye Mo during the battle.

And Xue Yizun absolutely has the ability to do that now!
Under these circumstances, Yan Nan would absolutely not allow Night Demon to fight.

A completely calculated scheme: I'm not going to let your Night Demon make the list!
Moreover, the reason is absolutely justified: in the three realms, almost all the spiritual treasures belong to the Night Demon. Those are things that are beneficial to cultivation. If they are also on the list, how can others survive?

One by one, the genius guardians will be slowly devoured by the Night Demon!
Fang Che laughed and said, "Why can't we let Night Demon get on the list first, and then we can challenge Night Demon one by one and kill him directly?"

"...It's too dangerous."

Xue Changqing sighed: "If you keep winning in the Cloud Weapon Ranking, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the realm. Right now, you can reliably beat Night Demon, but once Night Demon is on the list, challengers might not be able to defeat him."

"Doing that could really mean everyone dies at the hands of the Night Demon... How could headquarters take such a risk?"

Xue Changqing sighed: "President Fang, you don't know the role of Night Demon's treasures on the Cloud Ranking! But those Star Fruits, those Star Silks, those Spiritual Treasures all require the power of heaven and earth to function. And the Cloud Weapon Ranking... is the power of heaven and earth."

"Including the three spiritual treasures that the Night Demon Emperor of Eternal Night obtained, although we don't know how to use them, we have been inquiring about them for a long time. Moreover, the young masters of the Righteous Sect are not a monolithic group. The Night Demon still has quite a few opponents."

"So after verification from multiple sources, we have some idea of ​​what's going on."

"It has already been determined that if those things are put on the Cloud Weapon Ranking, the effect will probably be amazing."

"What if all these treasures unleash their power after the Night Demon charges in..."

Xue Changqing shook his head repeatedly: "Killing Night Demon directly would be good, but if it requires all of us to sacrifice our lives, even if we ourselves don't care, headquarters will absolutely not agree."

"makes sense."

Fang Che nodded.

Surprised, he hadn't expected Xue Changqing, who seemed so honest and simple, to have done so much work behind the scenes. Xue Changqing saw what he was thinking and smiled bitterly, "My mind can't keep up with Feng Yun's pace; so I can only make up for it with other methods. Each of these young people from my righteous sect has their own file with me. Every now and then, I take them out and compare them with their files at headquarters."

"Also, we can compare the files of these people that Ninth Master created."

"If there are changes over there, I will consider the areas I cannot see; if there are changes over there, I will consider the same thing."

"We should try our best to do our work meticulously and thoroughly, bit by bit, and strive to narrow the gap with Fengyun in these aspects."

Xue Changqing smiled brightly, and in his eyes one could clearly see his envy and apprehension towards peerless geniuses like Feng Yunyan and Bei Han.

But you can also see his unwavering determination and refusal to give up.

He followed steadily behind others' talents, like a giant carrying a mountain step by step! Although he could never catch up, no matter how far behind he fell, he never gave up.

"That's all I can do, Mr. Fang!"

"Including you, Night Demon, Feng Yun, Yan Beihan... Perhaps one day, you will have traveled billions of miles away, leaving me far behind. But as long as I am alive, I will not give up the chase."

A hint of guilt appeared on Xue Changqing's somewhat square face: "I'm just a little sorry for everyone, making everyone follow me and be dragged down by me all this time."

"Actually, I really want to... be like Ninth Master... Alas! But unfortunately, not to mention Ninth Master, even Feng Yun has no hope of catching up."

Xue Changqing sighed deeply.

“But Feng Yun isn’t as reliable as you either!” Fang Che said softly, “And he’s not as dependable as you.”

"You're wrong."

Xue Changqing said, "Feng Yun is also a reliable and dependable person. It's just a matter of stance; he's on the opposite side. If he were on our side, he would be someone who provides even more security than I do."

"I'm not stupid, I'm just a little less smart than Feng Yun. But unfortunately, that's exactly what we're arguing about."

Xue Changqing smiled faintly: "I know you want to comfort me, but I don't need comforting. I will hold on until the guardians of Feng Yun or someone like Ninth Master appear to take my place."

"During this period, although I may always be half a step behind others, there is no one in this world who can make me give up!"

Xue Changqing took a deep breath, patted Fang Che on the shoulder, and earnestly pleaded, "President Fang!...Help me!!"

Fang Che felt a slight touch on his heart.

Turning to look at Feng Yun, who was strategizing and planning on the other side, he was as radiant as the sun in the sky.

Finally, he whispered, "We haven't lost yet."

"Yes!"

Xue Changqing said, "We haven't lost yet!"

He then said, word by word, "...We can't lose either!!"

Just then, the sun slowly set.

It stubbornly radiates its last rays of light in the sky.

Only a warm red plate remained, standing upright close to the horizon.

This day is about to end.

The Cloud-Based Weapon Ranking is about to be released.

Dongfang San San and Yan Nan both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

For them, the biggest worry is that other people in the world will come to compete for the rankings.

Because that would mean that there is a secret force that is completely uncontrollable and even unknown to us!
That would be absolutely terrifying.

As for the Divine Weasel Cult, the Spirit Serpent Cult, the Phoenix Clan, the Heavenly Palace and the Underworld, these have all been exposed and understood over a period of time in the eyes of the two outstanding figures, Dongfang San San and Yan Nan, and are now considered forces that can be 'controlled'.

This means it can be controlled, not eradicated.

Rather... they are no longer capable of causing completely unexpected damage to the Guardians or the Sovereign Church!
But just as the sun was reduced to only half a red disc, to everyone's surprise...

With a hiss, a crack appeared in the space above Chessboard Peak.

Yan Nan's eyes widened suddenly, and she clenched her fist on the table.

Dongfang San San also suddenly raised his head, his eyes instantly becoming extremely serious!

it turns out!

There really are more!?
Twelve people emerged from the spatial rift.

Ten young people.

Two old men.

After emerging, he looked around and saw that the direction where the Heavenly Palace and the Underworld were located had the fewest people and the weakest momentum, so he immediately descended.

Yan Nan looked at the twelve newly appeared people and frowned slightly: "Dongfang, what did you see?"

"His skin was very dark. But not the kind of dark that comes from sunlight, but rather... a dark, scorching color."

Dongfang San San said, "Although they have tried their best to clean themselves, the traces of erosion from years of exposure cannot be completely removed. The color on their faces is probably due to years of being at sea."

"Moreover, when they first tore open the spatial rift, I clearly sensed a hint of the ocean."

Dongfang San San said, "These people must be from the sea."

As soon as these people appeared, Dongfang Sansan knew that what he had been suspecting had indeed come to pass. He sighed softly, "Brother Yan, have you ever been to the other side of the sea? It seems that there are still things we don't know about on the sea."
