Lord of the night.

Chapter 1435 What a Sin! [Two-in-One]

"You want to become someone's concubine... and you expect me to decide that?"

Bi Changhong was so angry that his nose was crooked.

He slapped her again: "I'll beat you to death, you good-for-nothing!"

clap clap clap...

Bi Yunyan was beaten until her hair was disheveled, and she kept rolling on the ground.

Bi Changhong was panting heavily like an ox. He felt that if he didn't breathe harder, he would probably pass out from the anger!
Our Bi family has produced a legitimate daughter who is single-mindedly determined to become a concubine!
This is absolutely ridiculous and absurd!
Bi Changhong grew increasingly angry and hit harder and harder.

Bi Yunyan was so badly beaten that she saw stars.

Bi Changhong was so angry that she saw stars.

Finally, Bi Changhong's beating came to an end; after all, they couldn't really kill him...

Bi Yunyan is now the only heir of the Bi family with the Nine Saints Halo in ten thousand years.

Bi Changhong had to hold back when hitting people, because he felt frustrated and exhausted from hitting them.

I suddenly remembered something.

"You actually need to be a concubine... then who is the first wife?" Bi Changhong asked a crucial question.

Because he realized: Who could possibly make Bi Yunyan, the eldest daughter of the Bi family, a concubine?

Bi Yunyan answered fluently, her face swollen, "Ancestor, anyone will do. Really, I'm not picky."

Bi Changhong's eyes dangled out of their sockets: "Not picky? Anyone will do?"

"Correct."

Bi Yunyan, her face swollen, said smugly, "Although I am a concubine, who would dare to actually take me, the legitimate daughter of the Bi family and the third princess of our righteous sect, as a concubine? Hmph."

Bi Changhong was so angry that she almost fainted: "You're quite proud of yourself?"

Bi Yunyan rubbed her face and said, "Mmm."

Originally, Bi Yunyan was terrified of this ancestor, to the point that she would tremble at the mere sight of him. However, for some reason, after being brutally beaten by the ancestor today, she was no longer afraid.

My impression: It's nothing special.

Surprisingly, I felt a sense of 'letting go'.

Bi Changhong's face was contorted and wrinkled, and he looked at the sky speechlessly.

He's so angry now that he doesn't even have the strength to hit anyone, and he doesn't even want to curse anyone.

Muttering to himself, "This Bi family really has a lot of talented people..."

Bi Yunyan coughed and said, "Ancestor, as you said, the Bi family has many talented people. I am dispensable in the Bi family... I am just a lazy person, a salted fish, and my greatest ambition in life is to be the concubine of the Night Demon. Please let me go and grant my wish."

"You've certainly developed a thick skin..."

For the first time, Bi Changhong experienced what it meant to feel 'life is meaningless'.

His voice was trembling, and he said dejectedly, "Fuck your ancestors!"

That's quite difficult.

Bi Yunyan muttered to herself, then lay on the ground and rubbed her face vigorously, looking aggrieved.

I just broke through to the Saintly Monarch realm, and I actually got beaten up!

Who can I talk to to reason with you?
Besides, I've wanted to be a concubine since I was a child. Even without Yan Beihan, I never thought about becoming the first wife. My family has been making fun of this since I was fifteen or sixteen. It's not a secret.

I have always been consistent in my words and deeds since childhood.

Our ancestor was so unreasonable.

They tricked me into telling them, and then beat me up without saying a word!

Bi Yunyan lay on the ground healing her wounds. Since she had already said what she wanted to say, the girl was now resigned to her fate and didn't care what happened.

Bi Changhong was so angry that he looked like a toad, lying on the recliner with his belly bulging with rage.

Even now, I still feel like I'm seeing stars.

Bi Changhong even wondered which deity he had offended, since he hadn't had anything going smoothly since he came out.
Traitors are one thing, unfilial sons are another, but how come a genius who once dominated the world has emerged, and yet... a concubine?
That's a real piece of work!
"Where have we gotten to?" Bi Changhong asked listlessly, half-lying on the recliner with her belly bulging.

"What?"

Bi Yunyan lay on the ground and looked up.

"I'm asking you, how far have things progressed with Night Demon?" Bi Changhong asked sadly.

Anyway, everything that was going to happen has happened. Everything that was going to be given has been given.

Bi Yunyan, in a fit of despair, spilled the beans, looking like she was waiting to be beaten, saying, "Maybe someday I'll have an idea and bring you a baby."

After losing her 'reverence for the ancestor', this girl's lazy and indifferent nature fully manifested.

They've completely adopted a "whatever" attitude.

Since you've already tricked me into confessing, you can decide what to do with me now.

The recliner beneath Bi Changhong shattered with a crack, and the dignified Vice Grand Master collapsed onto the ground, utterly exhausted: "The Nine Saints Halo... what a disaster!"

"Nine Saints' Halo!"

Bi Changhong lay on the ground, slammed his fist into the earth, and roared again, "What a disaster!"

Bi Yunyan said, "Ancestor, please calm down."

I'll curse your great-grandmother!

Bi Changhong cursed.

“It’s already done anyway,” Bi Yunyan said. “You just said you’d grant our request, so why not just go for it? After all, Night Demon will be our Bi family’s son-in-law from now on. We won’t lose out.”

Bi Changhong groaned, "If you were going to be my wife, I would certainly be willing to let you go, even if I pretended to be unhappy, I would keep it a secret and support you when the time was right. But you actually went to be my concubine..."

He sat up abruptly, gritting his teeth, and said, "Let me tell you, forget about it! I'll kill you, cripple you, and keep you locked up at home. I won't let you go out and embarrass me!"

Bi Yunyan said nonchalantly, "If I don't want to marry, I don't want to marry! Being a mistress is fine too. As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a stolen lover... even better..."

"Bi Yunyan!"

Bi Changhong roared hysterically, "Have you no shame for your ancestors?!"

Vice Chief Master Bi's voice was almost a wail.

Bi Yunyan said, "Ancestor, why are you so upset? How could Night Demon not dote on me?"

Bi Changhong chuckled and said like a dead man, "You just stay here! I'm going out right now to kill that bastard Night Demon!"

Bi Yunyan wasn't worried at all, and let out a fake wail: "No..."

Bi Changhong was so angry he almost vomited blood, and he left in a flash.

Bi Yunyan then began to heal her wounds, muttering to herself as she did so: "That old devil really hits people hard. Poor me, such a delicate girl..."

"Hmph, you dare kill Night Demon? Even the Grand Protector Duan will not let you get away with this! Hmph..."

"Do you think I'm stupid? Who are you trying to scare with all this shouting and killing?"

"You tricked me into revealing the truth, but then went back on your word and broke your promise. What kind of ancestor are you!"

With a flash, Bi Changhong burst in, and without saying a word, unleashed a furious beating!
Bi Yunyan was beaten to the point of near death, and Bi Changhong left without saying a word.

After going outside, I felt like my stomach was churning with anger, like a toad, with purple gas spitting out from one nostril and blue gas from the other.

I was so angry I almost lost my mind!

He stormed off to find Feng Du.

We need to discuss this with Third Brother. That little brat Night Demon is infuriating!
As for Bai Jing...

Bi Changhong began to weigh the options: If I kill Night Demon, Bai Laoba will fight me to the death, right? So, I can't kill him.

But what should we do?

My head hurts.

Bai Jing, holding a teacup, raised his eyebrows and watched Bi Changhong walk past like an explosion. He turned his head, chuckled, and crossed his legs.

The old man seems angry. Who could have made him angry? He called Bi Yunyan over for a talk.

Why did Bi Yunyan make him angry? She clearly gave him a huge boost in his reputation today.

Therefore... there must be something fishy going on.

What exactly is going on? How can Bi Yunyan make Bi Changhong angry?
Bai Jing's mind raced with thoughts: Could it be...?

However, none of this concerned Bai Jing. Right now, he was just thinking: "That Night Demon is something else! He managed to seduce Feng Xue without a word… but she really seems like the perfect wife and mother. She's also gentle; Night Demon will definitely be the boss at home from now on…"

It looks pretty good from this perspective.

Bi Changhong searched around but couldn't find Feng Du.

I know that old man is now in the domain with Night Demon.

He decided to wait in Feng Du's room. Just as he was about to make tea, his hand trembled with anger, and he crushed the teapot on Feng Du's table to pieces.

I quickly changed to another one and then began to hold my breath and calm myself.

Take a deep breath... calm your mind.

Start drinking your tea and wait patiently. Once you two are done talking, I'll come out and catch that little brat!
I must...

Feng Du summoned Fang Che into the space and said calmly, "Do you know why I called you in?"

"I don't know."

Fang Che answered honestly.

"This time, you can't go back to the Guardians."

Feng Du said calmly, "You need to come back to the capital of the Weiwo Sect with me."

"Your subordinate will follow orders."

Fang Chedao.

"Well, going back directly this time might put your undercover identity at risk, but with your Grandmaster Sun filling in over there, it won't be a big problem."

Feng Du sighed and said, "This wave of Dragon Mystic Realm... has given too many warnings and omens. It's not good."

"A bad omen?"

Fang Che was unaware that the Snake God was returning. He asked curiously.

"The serpent god worshipped by the Serpent Cult will return to this continent in about a year and a half."

Feng Du's expression was grave: "I don't know the exact time, but if we're making preparations, those six months can't be counted, so we can only calculate and prepare based on a year." "Huh?"

Fang Che was taken aback.

My mood instantly became extremely heavy.

The snake god is coming back?
"Is the news reliable?"

Fang Che couldn't help but ask a silly question.

"It's almost certainly true; I used Huan Shi Ming Xin to ask She Lingxiao what he said!"

Feng Du said, "When Xue Wu returns, she'll probably discuss this matter with Dongfang San San. So the Guardians will also start preparing immediately... As for Fang Tu's position... whether he'll be transferred by headquarters is the danger to your identity. But Fang Tu's cultivation is too low right now... he's really useless against the Serpent God, so it's not certain..."

"That's what you said."

"But your position within the sect is currently more important than Fang Tu's role as a guardian!"

Feng Du said slowly, "Moreover, there will be times when your opinion will be needed. So you need to know, you need to be informed, and you need to pass on the knowledge. Because in the future, you may have to participate in decision-making."

He stared intently at Fang Che, his eyes fixed, and said calmly, "Night Demon, you can now be considered a core seed of the Righteous Sect, and within the entire sect, you are already considered... a high-ranking member!"

"I……"

Fang Che was stunned.

Am I really that high up? I honestly didn't realize it at all, I didn't even have that awareness!
"Is there anything else you need to be careful about with the Guardians? Think it over carefully, and it's best to be absolutely sure of everything."

"Yes."

"Tell me when you've made up your mind."

"it is good."

Feng Du said solemnly, "Your role before was to infiltrate here. But now, the role of infiltration can only account for half, or even less. But the role you will play next will be greater than that of infiltration."

Fang Che frowned: "?"

"The focus going forward will likely be on the future of the sect."

Feng Du said, "We need to discuss this matter in detail when we get back. There won't be a clear final plan for the time being. Just keep it in mind."

"Yes."

Fang Che thought for a moment and asked, "Vice Master Feng, is the return of the Serpent God a threat? Which side does the Serpent God belong to? Judging from all the signs, it shouldn't be on the side of the Flying Bear God, but rather on the side of the Heavenly Centipede God, right?"

A look of appreciation appeared in Feng Du's eyes, and he slowly said, "That's right, that's what I think too."

"Then... is there... any other possibility?"

Fang Che asked tentatively.

Feng Du's gaze was deep as he said calmly, "If the Flying Bear God returns victorious, there's a slight chance we won't fight. After all, this is His territory. In that case, it will only be a life-or-death battle between the Guardians and the Sovereign Church. The Flying Bear God, just like he has for billions of years, will continue to quietly guard the sky, being His god, and engaging in battles between beings or other matters."

"But apart from the Flying Bear God, any other god, including the returning Heavenly Centipede God, must be fought!"

"Since they defeated the Flying Bear God, yet still want to return to this continent, there must be something they need. And this thing is probably something that the entire continent cannot do without."

"This continent has always belonged to humankind; it belongs to us."

"Moreover... divinity is ruthless. We all know how ferocious the Heavenly Centipede is, and the Serpent God is by no means a benevolent being either."

"I'd rather die fighting than be a subservient slave!"

Feng Du's gaze was deep as he said softly, "This wave is probably the decisive moment."

His expression was somewhat worried as he said, "This continent is now producing an unprecedented number of geniuses... This is the continent's last chance to save itself. It's just a pity that your generation is far from mature... This is truly... regrettable."

"It may not be the moment of decisive battle."

Fang Che racked his brains and said, "Please think about it, sir... According to the strange phenomena before the appearance of the three realms, the Snake God was clearly following the Heavenly Centipede God. If the Heavenly Centipede God launched the war against the Flying Bear God, then there must be something that the Heavenly Centipede God wanted. And would the Heavenly Centipede God trust the Snake God to obtain this for Him?"

Feng Du was taken aback.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed in his eyes.

So much so that his whole face came to life.

He murmured, "Not bad."

Fang Che said, "Moreover, do you feel that this Dragon God Mystic Realm is somewhat rushed? The Yin-Yang Realm, the Three Realms, and so on have never appeared so suddenly. Moreover, we didn't even know there was a Dragon God before, but the Dragon God Mystic Realm suddenly appeared."

"So, is the return of the Serpent God related to this?"

Fang Che asked.

In Feng Du's chaotic mind, it was as if a brilliant lightning bolt had struck!

Suddenly, my heart and mind were filled with clarity!

Feng Du patted Fang Che on the shoulder and laughed heartily: "That's why they say young people are quick-witted. Indeed, this matter is worth discussing."

"In that case, you should carefully consider the loopholes on your side and fix them where necessary."

"Yes."

Feng Du said, "I'll go out and ask my elder brother. If he comes out, then it's probably time for the final battle. But if he doesn't come out... then it's uncertain."

His heart suddenly felt at ease.

I found it strange myself: I was a bit confused, and it was actually a junior who enlightened me.

This is truly a strange thing.

"Shall we go out now?"

Fang Che asked.

Feng Du glanced sideways and said, "What's the rush to leave? Now that you're in, come on, let's play a game of chess."

Fang Che: "..."

Speechless.

You made it sound so serious before, as if the world was going to end tomorrow.

Now they want to... play a game of chess again?

Feng Du quickly set up the chessboard, and then the two sat down and began to place their pieces frequently.

After exchanging a few moves at the start, Feng Du casually asked, "Night Demon, your life's most important matter is quite troublesome."

"It is indeed a bit of a headache."

Fang Che gave a wry smile.

He knew Feng Du already knew about Yan Beihan and Bi Yunyan's affair. Sun Wutian had warned him about this: Don't play dumb in front of Grand Master Feng Du. He knew everything he needed to know; don't try to show off your cleverness, or you'll just get slapped to death. He even knew about your two wives' affair…

Therefore, Fang Che was also frank and open when faced with Feng Du's current inquiries.

"It cannot be exposed. Although I am happy to see it happen, for the sake of the interests of various factions, once it is exposed, I cannot forcibly protect you. Because this is for the benefit and prosperity of future generations."

As Feng Du pondered and placed his piece, he spoke: "It is only the planning and foresight of the largest interest groups within our righteous sects that are concerned with the future. As the ancestors, we cannot interfere in this matter."

"My subordinate understands."

Fang Che nodded.

"Huh? You understand? You really understand?"

Feng Du smiled and asked slowly.

"That's natural. The vice-leaders are wholeheartedly devoted to the sect. You are the highest-ranking members of the sect and also the largest interest group. Although you may not be entirely selfless, even if each of you is only half selfless and half family-oriented, then all the vice-leaders combined are essentially selfless."

That's a bit of a convoluted statement.

But Feng Duli immediately understood: "Continue."

Fang Che pondered for a moment and said, "For the deputy sect leaders, our righteous sect is a whole, and this whole is your interest. So although the deputy sect leaders are the ancestors of the nine major families, the actual distribution of benefits does not lie in their respective families."

“Continue.” Feng Du nodded.

"Therefore, the sectarian interests that the ancestors represent are, in reality, in conflict with the interests of the nine major families." Fang Che pondered, carefully choosing his words.

"An antagonistic relationship!..."

Feng Du's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He pondered these five words for a long time before finally nodding: "Not bad. Continue."

"After tens of thousands of years of reproduction and inheritance, the various families have developed a complex and intertwined network of relationships. Through generations of survival of the fittest and the splitting and reorganization of families, they have become so powerful that they have become unshakeable."

Fang Che said, "Over the years, although the ancestors have been in charge of overseeing the development of the major families, they have not participated in or even directed anything. The direction of the families' development, the minor adjustments in each era, and the extent of their influence... all of this has nothing to do with the ancestors anymore."

"The nine major families, firmly holding the highest power, will not allow a tenth family to rise."

"The Yan family will face the least resistance from Xiaohan because there are no male descendants in the Yan family. But the Bi family of Yunyan, even if I marry Yunyan, the Bi family will not allow me to rise. They could even use any means to swallow me up!"

“Other families would be even less likely to agree.”

"And this is something that the vice-leaders cannot forcefully suppress."

Fang Che sighed: "Our current strength is still at the level of ants in front of behemoths like the nine major families."

"Therefore, the road ahead is long and arduous."

"There may be hidden masters among the nine major families, and the number of assassins is even more countless."

"Such a powerful family has such deep-rooted scheming; once our affairs become clear, we will inevitably be schemed against and left with nothing but dust."

Fang Che placed a piece on the chessboard with a thud: "So... no rush. We must hide it!"

Feng Du said calmly, "However, when you are allowed to expose yourselves, I estimate that the righteous sect will face another tsunami, and bloodshed will be inevitable."

"It can't be helped."

Fang Che said, "Any emerging interest group that wants to rise must step on the piles of corpses of the old interest groups in order to stand up."

"Only by establishing a foothold through killing and absolute strength can we talk about future secret schemes and plans, as well as the fierce competition among the younger generation... It will take at least several hundred or a thousand years before we can completely integrate with the old interest groups and become equals with each other."

Feng Du praised him greatly: "Not bad, you see things very clearly."

Fang Che smiled wryly: "It's not that I understand it, but Xiao Han has studied this to the bone. He can spout off about it effortlessly, and he lectures her every day..."

Feng Du burst into laughter.

Fang Che gave a wry smile.

That's right. Yan Beihan had said and deduced these theories countless times when he was in the Three Realms.

Some might not understand, saying: Why bother with so much? As long as you're invincible and wipe out all the other families, who can stop you from establishing your own clan? Who would dare to object?
But things in this world are not that simple.

Even someone of Feng Du's status, if allowed to return to the Feng family to reorganize things, might uncover many scoundrels. However, if he isn't allowed to do so, the entire family might remain untouched despite a thorough investigation.

Did Bi Changhong really not want to clean up the Bi family? Perhaps the previous efforts were not strong enough, but for subordinates to fool an ancestor who has never cared about family affairs for ten thousand years is easier than drinking cold water.
