Lord of the night.

Chapter 1409 Chaos [Two Chapters Combined]

Fang Che sighed, his face contorted with embarrassment.

This alone shows the difference between Fengdu and Yannan.

This guy really doesn't want to worry about it.

However, it must be said that this matter is indeed difficult to handle from the perspective of either separatism or the belief in one's own righteousness.

Fang Che also wanted Feng Du to stay by his side and kill them all, so that the Yin Si Palace would be wiped out.

But he couldn't, and he had to find a way.

Because the separatists have started to act irrationally.

"Night Demon, you need to figure this out. Otherwise, I'll kill you!"

Fang Che wiped his face.

This is very much in line with the orthodox teachings, just like the actions of Master Sun.

"I think... if we catch that person today and send back a message saying that the Deadly Flying Knife is still following us, then the Underworld will have to think twice before sending anyone else, right?"

Fang Che came up with an idea.

"……cough!"

Feng Du sighed, looking dejected: "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

"That's it?" Fang Che was also dumbfounded. You moved so fast?

"I don't trust interrogation at all; I just searched their souls!"

Feng Du sighed: "After searching them, they turned into idiots, and then one slap and they were dead."

Fang Che was speechless for a moment.

"Then we can only try to scare them away next time they come."

Fang Che said, "You only need to release your aura and killing intent, and that will be enough to scare them away."

"Great idea!"

Feng Du nodded: "Then let's do it that way."

“However, this Underworld Palace can’t remain independent of the sect forever,” Fang Che said worriedly. “After all, they kill just anyone for money. What if one day they actually kill one of our important figures…”

Feng Du understood what the kid was thinking; he must have been frightened this time.

After all, this was the first time Fang Che had ever been assassinated by a powerful sage.

Moreover, he will be an assassination target in the future, so it's impossible not to have doubts.

After all, if he hadn't gone with her this time, Yan Nan, the undercover agent he had invested countless efforts in, might actually have been killed. That would have been a truly unprecedented and ridiculous situation.

"What do you mean?"

Feng Du doesn't want to use his brain at all.

"What I mean is that there needs to be some kind of constraint. The situation is becoming increasingly clear, and there's no need to keep this lawless place any longer."

Fang Che appeared utterly loyal: "For example, we could hand it over to Young Master Feng Yun to lead... or I could lead it myself, or if all else fails, we could just wipe them out completely, so we wouldn't have to live in fear anymore..."

"Hehehe..."

Feng Du rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "I can hear the murderous intent in your voice. Are you trying to wipe us all out?"

Fang Che smiled ingratiatingly: "Shall I play a game of chess with you?"

Feng Du snorted, then pondered for a long time before saying, "If your cultivation improves further, it wouldn't be a bad idea to hand over this Yin Si Palace to you directly... but you also need to think carefully about how to use it; this group of people is quite strong. It would be a pity to wipe them out."

"Thank you, Vice Chief Cult Leader!"

Fang Che was overjoyed.

"Don't thank me yet. I'll discuss it with Yan Nan when I get back."

Feng Du hurriedly stopped him.

This guy is actually going to kowtow and thank you, and he's about to take office. How can that be allowed?
Feng Du was too embarrassed to say that his word might not be binding... mainly because Yan Nan might genuinely not give him that kind of face...

But the idea that "the First Deputy Chief Leader's word doesn't count" is something Feng Du would never utter, even if he were beaten to death.

Feeling guilty, he declined Fang Che's offer of thanks, then brought out a chessboard and said with a composed expression, "Come on... let's play a game!"

Fang Che knew exactly what was going on. Since Feng Du had already said so, the Underworld Palace would be his for the taking sooner or later. Then he'd be in charge, wouldn't he? The only thing lacking was cultivation level…

As long as my cultivation level is similar, and given my current status in the righteous sect, I'll be able to get it easily.

While thinking about how he would deal with the people from the Underworld Palace, Fang Che set up a chessboard with Feng Du and suffered a crushing defeat.

It made Feng Dushuang's soul float away.

Day two.

Fang Che then conducted a thorough search of Hechuan City, and his life-and-death patrol began to move forward.

As Fang Che walked down the street, dressed in black, the moment his cloak billowed, the eyes of all the people in Hechuan City burned with fervor!
"President Fang! Fang Qingtian!"

The public's resentment was completely dispelled with Fang Che's life-and-death decisions. Every morning, the first thing they heard was good news: Boss Fang was catching bad guys again!

Especially those at the bottom who are often oppressed, now feel that they can breathe much more easily every day!
That black outfit, that cloak with its shimmering dark patterns, has become a beacon of light in everyone's eyes and a monument in their hearts.

As long as this cloak continues to flutter and the starlight continues to twinkle, life will only get better and better!

When Fang Che finally left Hechuan City, the entire city's residents saw him off outside the city, creating a massive crowd.

"Fang Qingtian! Fang Qingtian!"

Feng Du remained hidden in mid-air, looking down at the sea of ​​people with his hands in his sleeves. His eyes were calm, but with a hint of a sigh: "For an undercover agent to achieve such a feat, he is truly... a talent!"

Fang Che understood that Feng Du was watching closely, so he didn't say anything encouraging. Instead, he waved his hand, took his leave, and disappeared into the distance in his black robes.

But the less he said, the more agitated the public became.

Even after Fang Che left, the crowd at the city gate lingered for a long time, with many people still standing on tiptoe to look out.

"Fang Qingtian! Have a safe journey!"

They walked hundreds of miles.

Feng Du appeared and threw Fang Che into the domain.

"Further ahead lies Sanchuan City."

Feng Du's eyes flickered.

Further ahead from Sanchuan City lies Kanke City.

"Does this kind of place even need you to enforce the law?"

Feng Du stared wide-eyed.

Fang Che exclaimed in surprise, "Why not? The Eastern strategist might not be able to control everything!"

Feng Du said with a dark face, "That's called keen insight!"

He then said, "But you don't need to patrol these two places anymore. The more people you kill here, the worse Dongfang San San's face will look. They're right under his feet."

"Furthermore, your life-and-death patrol stopped at Hechuan, and then it was about the Cloud Weapon Ranking. In such a long time, Sanchuan and Kanke City have already been investigated by the Guardian Headquarters seventeen or eighteen times! Didn't you think of that?"

Feng Du looked at him with exasperation: "Do you think they'd allow you to find anything in Sanchuan? Before you came, both cities had been clean for years. This time, they only checked several times as a precaution."

"I see."

Fang Che said, "That makes sense."

"Of course that makes sense!"

Feng Du snorted: "So let's go past these two cities and move forward."

Fang Che readily agreed, "That's something we have to overcome."

He knew in his heart that Feng Du was also unwilling to work in these two cities. After all, they were too close to the Guardian's headquarters. As the First Vice Chief of the Sovereign Sect, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be recognized, which would be terrible.

After persuading Fang Che, no, at the same time as persuading Fang Che, Feng Du had already torn apart space.

They bypassed the rugged city directly.

Fang Che was in tears in the field.

Master... my wife is still in Kanke City. Of course I know Kanke City doesn't need me, but I...

And the headquarters of the Guardians of the City of Trials.

Dongfang San San was also eagerly waiting: "Have we arrived yet? Why aren't we going up the mountain?"

But the Eastern strategist didn't know that Fang Che couldn't get up the mountain.

When he emerged and saw the light of day again, he was already two thousand five hundred miles away from Kanke City...

The next two months.

Two groups of people came to the Underworld, but were frightened away by Feng Du and never came back.

On the eighth day after crossing the rugged city, Mo Ganyun and the others rejoined the team.

Then, with the Life and Death Squad patrolling and protecting them, and with Feng Du's protection, Fang Che and his team became famous throughout the entire continent.

The name of the black-clad patrolmen was renowned throughout the land.

He held the power of life and death over the entire continent, and blood flowed like rivers all the way.

But wherever they went, peace and tranquility prevailed.

Feng Du's actions were more meticulous than Sun Wutian's. However, Fang Che simply couldn't stand it anymore.

There are too many things to do with Feng Du, but the most important one is his obsession with chess.

I play chess every day.

Fang Che is currently giving it his all and can only manage a close match with Feng Du, winning one game out of two. But to completely overwhelm Feng Du is absolutely impossible!
Therefore, Fang Che's plan to 'completely defeat Feng Du and make him lose interest in playing chess' was doomed to fail.

Not only did they fail, but they became increasingly enthusiastic and unable to extricate themselves from the attempt to suppress separatism.

Furthermore, Feng Du's martial arts theories were truly profound; even a casual remark could leave Fang Che feeling immensely enlightened. Fang Che often felt that even playing chess with him for decades more would be worthwhile…

After Mo Ganyun and others returned to the team, they also fell into Feng Du's clutches.

Feng Du was most interested in Xue Huanhuan, Dong Yunyu, and Qiu Yunshang.

Every day, the snow is slowly and rapidly falling...

Every day, Dongyunyu is busy learning polite and courteous language.

Every day, Qiu Yunshang and Jing Shuanggao are working hard to catch up on the progress.

The life-and-death squad made a huge mess of things and progressed rapidly.

Moreover, Feng Du's impression of Fang Che is getting better and better. He often looks at Fang Che and mutters to himself: Why isn't he my son-in-law?
Fang Che had mixed feelings about Feng Du.

While feeling incredibly welcome, I also felt a bit annoyed but dared not show it.

So when Sun Wutian arrived, Fang Che was still in a state of complex emotions.

For a moment, I felt a mix of relief and confusion.

Sun Wutian is back, and Fang Che and the others' good days are over.

A good beating every day!
Feng Du was the one who gave the pointers; while Sun Wutian was the one who got the hang of it!
This is totally different.

The execution squad was powerful and imposing outside, but when they returned home, their cries of agony were deafening.

Feng Xiangdong started complaining to Dong Yunyu: "You're so foul-mouthed, why don't you dare say a few curses? If you said a few curses, we brothers could vent our anger, right?"

Dong Yunyu's eyes widened in anger: "Then why don't you say a few words of abuse?"

Feng Xiangdong angrily retorted, "That's not my character!"

"Screw you, you're just afraid of getting beaten up!"

Dong Yunyu spat and said, "Didn't you see those two old...seniors' eyes were glued to my mouth? If I were to utter even one curse word, I'd be worried about whether I'd see the sun rise tomorrow! You, Feng Xiangdong, are a bastard, actually instigating me to court death!"

"Dong Yunyu has truly shown his true colors; nowadays, even insults are 'not human'..."

Xue Wanren sighed: "It's alright, at least my strength is improving every day."

Xue slowly lamented, "I'm making progress... I'm practically being trained to be Xue Kuai Kuai... How can I not make progress..."

Feng Du's treatment of Xue Huanhuan was a targeted approach with only one goal: to slow down or speed up as he pleased, allowing her to control the pace at will.

This is precisely Xue Huanhuan's biggest weakness.

Because of the divinely bestowed cultivation method, he was slow in everything he did. This habit had long been ingrained in his soul, and now being forced to change it was a truly unbearable experience.

In the eyes of others, including Xue Fuxiao, Xue Huanhuan's innate martial arts technique was incredibly powerful, and she should continue down this path, the slower the better. Therefore, they even indulged and supported Xue Huanhuan's slow pace.

But the ban on separatism doesn't apply.

Feng Du has a unique perspective.

He felt that Xue Huanhuan was a promising talent.

In his eyes, if Xue Huanhuan could master the innate skill and control its speed and intensity at will, she would be able to fight even against gods in the future...

This was of paramount importance to Feng Du!
Therefore, he gradually became more attentive to Xue, and even Fang Che noticed a difference in his behavior.

Xue Huanhuan was beaten 108 times by Feng Du in one day...

Later, holding a sharp little knife, Xue couldn't keep up the request and just made a real cut! And she really did it…

"Slowing you down doesn't mean slowing down everything. The greatest benefit of your slowness is to slow others down, not to slow yourself down! So you must learn to be fast yourself, and you must also cultivate the ability to slow down others!"

"I'll train you like this now, making sure you understand the theory one by one. All that's left is to do it. If you can't do it, I won't ask for more. I'll only take two coins' worth of meat per cut!"

Feng Du, with his elegant demeanor and refined manner, spoke thus.

So, the snow slowly learned to fly faster!

He doesn't even dare to blink now.

He already has over seventy scars on his body, and the number continues to grow.

If she still couldn't learn it, Xue Huanhuan was certain that even with continuous treatment with elixirs, she would die at the hands of this rustic villager...

Sun Wutian was in an exceptionally good mood after returning.

The first thing they did was capture Fang Che, bring him into the domain, and give him a good beating.

"My face!"

Stunned by the beating, Fang Che only now remembered that he had given Sun Wutian a sound beating two months ago. The old devil's revenge was more than two months late, and he had almost forgotten...

Now we'll get back on track.

Feng Du resumed his elusive ways; he followed closely, looking for opportunities to play chess, or to slowly bring Xue into his domain for training.

Feng Du ignored the news that Yan Nanbai, Jing, and others were urging him to return.

Later on, I received too many messages and got annoyed.

So he blocked Yan Nan and the others again...

On the side of the True Sect, Yan Nan was so angry that his liver swelled up: For such a small matter as the life-and-death patrol, and it was even a matter for the guardians, I had to drag in a chief protector and the number one deputy chief sect leader.
As soon as Sun Wutian returned, Fang Che became very obedient: "Master, I've been lacking in strength lately. Please use my appearance to act, Master. This disciple can't handle it..."

Under Fang Che's repeated pleas, Sun Wutian reluctantly began impersonating Fang Che again.

With a long sigh, he said, "I never imagined that my illustrious reputation... would have to continue to be a substitute for a nobody like you... If it weren't for the circumstances... well, never mind..."

When Sun Wutian began to kill, things became completely different.

The wind blows eastward, the rain falls, and everyone's eyes are green every day.

Being beaten, scolded, and abused was commonplace.

Of course, Fang Che's life wasn't easy either. He got beaten up every day in the Fengdu territory, about seventeen or eighteen times a day, and spent the rest of his time playing chess.

Xue Huanhuan was still being dragged in for lessons every now and then, while President Fang worked twelve-hour shifts in a row.

Not only did Feng Du attack alone, but Sun Wutian also frequently took the time to come in, without even changing his appearance, directly showing Fang Che fighting Fang Che!

In the realm of suppressing separatism, Lao Sun has no scruples whatsoever.

Fang Che was beaten so badly he wet himself, still yelling, "Night Demon! Today I, Fang, will beat you to death, you undercover devil!"

This whole thing is so ridiculous, it's unbearable to look at.

Fang Che was beaten black and blue, his face swollen and covered in blood...

After several attempts, Fang Che finally couldn't take it anymore: "Vice Grand Master, if this continues, I'm really going to be beaten to death by the Ancestor..."

Because after Old Sun put on that outfit, he became exceptionally ruthless when he fought. It was as if he was truly transforming into Fang Che, the Night Demon Slayer...

There's nothing that can be done about blocking separatism.

This is your job. If you're not going to infiltrate here, what else do you want to do?
"I want to return to the Sovereign Church."

Fang Che revealed his true purpose: "Young Master Yun sent me a message saying that the Gu-raising sect is currently engaged in fierce fighting... If you have time, you can go back and take a look."

Fang Che wasn't telling the truth.

Because Feng Yun wasn't the only one who sent him the message.

It's not just a lot of people.

Feng Yun's message was merely an update on the situation. However, the messages from others indicated that they genuinely had something to report.

For example, Feng Xing.

Feng Xing is sending a message every day now. Of course, Feng Xing isn't sending the message to Ye Mo, but to Xing Mang.

During this period, the connection between Fengxing and Xingmang never ceased.

They even asked Xingmang to come and help, because if it was a minor matter, they could just let it go, but if it was a serious matter, they could contact Xingmang themselves and wait for Xingmang's reply... and then everything would be over.

And the actual events happened to be almost exactly as Starlight had predicted...

This really gave Feng Xing a headache.

I clearly have a brilliant strategist, but I'm always at a disadvantage in every aspect and can't use him.

What surprised Fang Che the most was... the news from Chen Yun!

"Night Demon, heroes unite to break through the winds and clouds, now is the time!"

It was just one sentence.

Fang Che understood.

But what he didn't understand was... why did Chen Yin dare to expose himself to him so blatantly?

It's one thing for you to secretly replace your brother. But you actually dared to contact me openly like this; you even left traces on the communication jade.

Isn't this a bit too much of audacity?

As for the others, Wu Xin, Bai Ye, Xiong Ying, and others were all sending messages to Fang Che, the Night Demon.

They had no idea that Night Demon had gone undercover.

In their eyes, the Night Demon is still watching this storm from the presiding judge's court.

In such a big spectacle, if Night Demon were to intervene, it would almost certainly give whoever he sides the advantage. Therefore, it's better for him to remain neutral.
I'd rather not deal with anyone, and you not deal with me!

So suddenly, Night Demons became highly sought after.

Various invitations kept coming in.

Ning Zaifei, who was impersonating someone in the presiding court, knew perfectly well that he was not the Night Demon.

Hiding in the main hall like this will keep everything going smoothly, but these invitations... if I go, I'll give myself away.

If we expose our true colors, what's the point of us doing anything?

Therefore, Ning dared not go anywhere and hid in the basement of the main courtroom every day in seclusion.

But every day she would send messages to Fang Che: "My lord, where are you? Things are in complete chaos here. Every day... If you don't come back soon, I won't be able to keep up the pretense any longer..."

Ning Zaifei is now forced to stay out of the public eye.

As Fang Che had predicted, the power of the presiding judge's court finally fell into Feng Nuan's hands.

And this Second Master Feng truly lived up to his name; in terms of work ability and overall competence, he was indeed several times stronger than the eldest master Feng Han.

He arranged the affairs of the presiding judge's court in an orderly manner, and he always adhered to his duties and never overstepped his authority.

It emphasizes being orderly and disciplined.

But it was precisely because of Feng Nuan that the Presiding Judge's Hall was able to remain pure and upright amidst all these undercurrents, becoming a beacon of integrity.

From the messages sent by Ning Zaifei and the other young masters, Fang Che could clearly sense that Shenjing had indeed become a complete mess.

Meanwhile, the older generation, including Yan Nan, doesn't interfere at all in the power struggles among the younger generation.

Let them decide the winner themselves.

The only ones who are detached from the outside world are Yan Beihan, Bi Yunyan, Feng Xue, Bing Tianxue, and others, while the younger generation consists of Ling Kong, Xi Yun, and others who follow Yan Beihan.

These people have already gone to rectify the situation at the secluded mountain gate.

We are currently in the Underworld Palace.

It is said that it has already caused the Underworld Palace great distress and is on the verge of falling apart.

"Almost all the young masters have come to see you, except for Young Master Feng Yun."

Ning Zaifei was clearly surprised when he reported. He knew perfectly well how close Feng Yun and Ye Mo were. Why would he leave such a powerful ally unused at this crucial moment?

Ning Zaifei also sighed, marveling at how confident Young Master Feng Yun truly was...

"Right now, all the departments in the capital are active, and even Lord Chenxi's inspection hall has been divided into several factions..."

"I see."

Fang Che also had a headache: he was stuck here, while Feng Xing was bombarding him with questions and urging him to go over. He probably couldn't keep putting it off any longer.

But Feng Du and Sun Wutian clearly won't release him, so what can we do?
"Vice Chief Master Feng, I have a matter I would like to report to you."

Fang Che had no choice: "My other identity, Xingmang, is loyal to Young Master Fengxing. He's been urging me to go, and if I don't, my identity might be exposed..."

“I know about this.”

Feng Du said calmly, "But what can you do if you go there? Right now, they're basically letting it run rampant, allowing it to fight like a plague. Going there won't help. Just tell Feng Xing that I've come to the Tianxia Escort Agency. If they can hold you back, that'll be enough."

"Don't get involved in the chaos over there."

"Yes."

Fang Che had no choice but to agree.

Sun Wutian had obviously also received the news: "Third Brother, even my Guardian Hall is being courted by those brats. Ao Zhan and Bai Zhan Dao are completely overwhelmed. The Yin Demon who just returned has already gotten involved..."

"It doesn't matter."

Feng Du displayed a commanding presence, saying, "Let Yan Nan and the others handle it."

Sun Wutian was aware that the Yin Demon had gotten involved.

That old man definitely didn't go in because of the current young masters raising poisonous insects; he went in because of what happened back then. He's an extremely vengeful person.

The fact that he was framed and killed back then still haunts Yin Mo to this day.

Or to put it another way: the demon returned alive this time for this very reason. Investigating amidst the chaos is something this old silver coin is absolutely capable of doing.

"Where is the succubus?"

Feng Du asked.

Sun Wutian was taken aback: "How would I know that?"

"Didn't she report anything to you?"

"No!" Sun Wutian stubbornly refused to admit it.

"Ha ha……"

Feng Du glanced at Sun Wutian and said sarcastically, "You really did live up to your role as the eldest brother."

Sun Wutian insisted that he knew nothing about it, leaving Feng Du with no choice but to ponder and say, "It seems that this time, it is indeed more intense than ever before. I am surprised that even Feng Yunlian cannot control this situation."

Sun Wutian couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Feng Yun isn't unable to control them, he just wants them all to jump around. Third Brother, what you're saying is so hypocritical."

Old Sun is right.

Judging from the message Feng Yun sent to Fang Che, it was indeed completely under control.

Feng Yun even frequently analyzed for Fang Che the advantages and disadvantages among the various young masters, who had the greatest ambition, and who had the strongest murderous intent.

But in the end, even Feng Yun himself became mute after analyzing everything.

Just stop talking.

Because he discovered that the one who now harbored the strongest murderous intent towards him was actually Feng Xing…

Feng Yun immediately felt heartbroken.
