Lord of the night.

Chapter 1436 Who are they cursing? [Bonus chapter for the two alliance leaders, let Ye Mushan be a poet!]

"Families are indeed not that simple. But establishing one is even more difficult."

Feng Du smiled bitterly: "For over ten thousand years, the nine great families of our righteous sect have been intermarrying and exchanging business interests, engaging in various collaborations and conflicts... their descendants have intermarried with thousands of other families, creating all sorts of entanglements of interests. Every path they take is fixed... it is indeed difficult!"

"The paths of life are all channels for profit. These paths are the key to making a living."

"Yan Nan and I, these old guys, can overwhelm everything to make a family's power emerge. But how can a huge family survive? If it can't survive, how can it grow stronger? And do we really need the invincible ancestor to pave each and every path? That's impossible!"

"And the entire family can't survive solely on the resources held by the patriarch... Competition breeds talent. But with almost unanimous resistance from the entire world..."

Feng Du laughed heartily: "But it's already very good that you can think of these things. It shows that you have never been blindly optimistic about the future."

Fang Che smiled wryly and said, "Moreover, judging from all the signs, a great era is about to arrive and a war of gods is about to begin. Whether there is a future or not is something that no one can say for sure right now."

Feng Du's expression also turned somewhat gloomy: "Not bad."

Is there a future?
Can this continent still exist?

There is no optimism whatsoever about this matter.

"However, the nine major families should be fine."

Fang Che smiled and said, "As long as there is life in this world, the nine great families will not be wiped out."

"How to say?"

Feng Du smiled intriguedly.

Even if all nine great families of Shenjing were wiped out, leaving no one of their bloodlines in name only, their bloodlines would still continue to be passed down on this continent…

Fang Che laughed and said, "The conditions for the division and reproduction of a large family have been met. Any family that reaches this level cannot be wiped out. Never!"

"Hahaha……"

Feng Du laughed loudly.

Then he said, "During this time, I've heard you all talking about the Yan family girl. She truly is a heroine among women. Night Demon, in your opinion, how does Feng Xue compare to the Yan girl?"

Fang Che's face was truly contorted: "This..."

“Speak up, it’s okay,” Feng Du encouraged.

"In which aspect..." Fang Che struggled desperately.

"Character, appearance, personality, talent..."

Feng Du listed a long string of them.

Fang Che remained silent, simply continuing to play chess.

Feng Du frowned: "What, you dare not speak?"

Fang Che smiled wryly: "Two princesses... how dare I comment?"

"I told you to say it!"

Feng Du glared at him.

Fang Che pondered deeply, knowing full well what Feng Du was up to.

Feng Xue once said, "The Ancestor knew about this."

"In terms of appearance, spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums each have their own strengths. Xiaohan possesses both gentleness and sharpness, inner beauty and outer strength..."

Fang Che felt he couldn't continue speaking.

In Feng Dufeng's sharp eyes, he said bluntly, "To put it simply, Feng Xue is a perfect wife and mother, a good homemaker; she is also shrewd and resourceful. She is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, more than capable of being an empress!"

"Yanbei Han is outwardly strong but inwardly gentle, combining both strength and gentleness; she leads the masses and looks down upon the mortal world; she can be both a mother to the world and a ruler of the world."

Feng Du frowned.

She said softly, "Then I understand. Yan is a woman of many talents, skilled in both internal and external affairs; while Feng Xue is suited for domestic matters. Right?"

Fang Che frowned and said, "Feng Xue's innate gentle temperament makes her a good candidate for the Feng family's education... If we were to cultivate leadership skills, she might not be a bad candidate. Of course, she won't be as captivating as Young Master Feng Yun or Princess Yan Beihan at first sight."

"it is good."

Feng Du already knew what was going on.

He said, "How about I betroth Feng Xue to you?"

"This……"

Fang Che hesitated.

"You don't like it?"

Feng Du asked.

"It's impossible not to like it."

Fang Che said very frankly, "With Miss Feng's personality, character and appearance, there is no man in the world who would dare to say he doesn't like her."

That's a really insightful statement.

Feng Du nodded in agreement.

"I consider myself a vulgar man and a womanizer; there are many beautiful women in the world, but I have only ever been in contact with a few. But I can't have all the good things in life by myself."

Fang Che smiled wryly.

"The strong should take more and eat more!"

Feng Du said matter-of-factly, "Does this world even care about fairness? Even if we forcibly stipulate that everyone in the world has one man and one woman, can the resources of female beauty really be evenly distributed?"

"It's not just the top experts; even those rural landlords, which one of them doesn't have a harem of wives and concubines? How can they be so pedantic about this?"

"I had over a hundred women back then... cough cough... I'm asking if you're willing!"

Feng Du frowned as he looked at Fang Che, noticing the conflict on his face. He then revealed a sly smile and said calmly, "That girl Feng Xue, her heart is with you. I don't know how she even noticed your ugly face... But you know about this. You know this woman likes you. Let me ask you this: after you know her heart, her feelings, and then you have to watch her marry someone else and suffer for the rest of her life, do you think you can live with yourself?"

"make life difficult for!"

Fang Che answered.

This doesn't need to be considered.

"Then what are you still hesitating about?" Feng Du snorted.

"I always feel like I'm the kind of person who gets lustful at first sight..."

Fang Che frankly said, "Because I know myself, if a woman is not good-looking, then no matter how much she likes me, I will probably still be unmoved."

"Isn't this bullshit?"

Feng Du scoffed and lectured, "Are there any men in this world who aren't lustful? Isn't lust the most normal thing? Those old, immobile men's eyes light up when they see a beautiful woman, and they speak to her with the same gentleness; try asking them to talk to an ugly woman!"

"..."

Feng Du's words were sharp, leaving Fang Che somewhat speechless.

"Let's be straightforward," Feng Du said.

"But I need to discuss this with Xiaohan and Yunyan. Even if I'm willing myself, I still need to discuss it with Xiaohan."

Fang Che said, "Please forgive me, this is the least I can do to show my woman as a man."

"OK then."

Feng Du snorted.

He was clearly quite unhappy.

Throughout his long life, he would take any woman he fancied home without ever caring whether the women in his family agreed or not.

In his opinion, this Night Demon was simply not like a man!

sentimental!

Lao Tzu personally stepped in to arrange a marriage for his granddaughter, which is a huge favor to you. You actually had to go through so much trouble to get a 'discussion'!
What are you even discussing?

Feng Du felt resentful.

So he decided to utterly annihilate Fang Che, leaving him with nothing.

However... once this mindset took hold, the peace vanished instantly; instead, Fang Che intercepted the dragon, leading to a fierce battle that raged until the very end...

Feng Du, on the contrary, was utterly defeated.

Feng Du was dumbfounded.

My temper flared up. Damn it, I wanted to kill him but he killed me instead. What kind of situation is this... But then my eyes lit up.

So Feng Du pushed the chessboard aside and said decisively, "You win! It's a deal, one benefit per game. This time, I'll give you Feng Xue!"

Fang Che: "...???"

The leader of the Fengdu sect was now a little irritable and smug, and also a little smug about his successful scheme: because in this way, it would be as if I deliberately lost, and this was a trap I set!
Does losing on purpose still count as losing?

So, I won!
After that, Feng Du lost interest in playing chess. He knew that with his current mindset, he would probably lose if he continued.

Night Demon's chess skills are now basically on par with mine. In a 100% chance, I have a 5.1% chance of winning, while Night Demon has a 4.9% chance.

This tiny difference is almost negligible.

If you're not in good form, you can lose everything.

So he brought Night Demon out: "Let's get ready to go back."

Thinking of returning to the True Sect, Feng Du sighed deeply again.

This trip back... will be the most difficult battle of my life when I face Yan Nan!
I'm guessing that guy will be yelling at me for days and nights...

When the two of them came out and saw what was happening, they were both stunned.

Because Bi Changhong was actually sitting cross-legged in the sealed room, drinking tea.

He was half-reclining in the chair, with his long legs draped over the tea table in front of him, in a very unrestrained posture.

Feng Du immediately frowned: "What are you doing here?"

"I need to talk to you about something."

Bi Changhong quickly removed her leg.

Then he saw the Night Demon, and then Bi Changhong sadly realized that his temper had somehow... disappeared.

There's a feeling of being unable to vent one's anger.

Two full hours had passed since Bi Changhong arrived at Feng Du's room. His initial rage had long since subsided during the long wait…

As I sipped tea and pondered my thoughts, the irritability, anxiety, and anger gradually vanished without a trace.

I am now at peace with myself.

Seeing the Night Demon, the culprit, I couldn't even get angry!
This is absolutely infuriating! I came here to vent my anger...

Bi Changhong stared intently, preparing himself.

"what's up?"

Feng Du sat down at the other coffee table with obvious disdain.

I was already in a bad mood after losing a game of chess, and this jerk actually messed things up in my room!

"Night Demon!"

Bi Changhong finally mustered his courage, his face contorted with rage: "You bastard! I'll never forgive you! Get out of here! I'll settle the score with you later!"

Fang Che understood immediately upon hearing this; he knew exactly what was going on.

Bi Yunyan has been exposed.

After all, Bi Yunyan's behavior before was quite obvious...

I couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Just as he was about to agree and leave, Feng Du became displeased, frowning and looking up: "Who are you trying to impress? What do you want? Have you split your soul?"

"Third Brother, you don't know this..."

"What do you mean, 'I don't know'? You bastard! Look at the mess you've made of my room! Do you even have a problem? If not, get out! Showing off your power to a junior really demonstrates your authority as the deputy leader!"

Feng Du slammed his fist on the table: "Do you want me to kick you out?"

"I have something to do! Something really needs to be done!"

Bi Changhong hurriedly said, "Night Demon, you should go out first."

Feng Du rolled his eyes: "Wait not far from my room. Don't go too far, or I won't even know if Vice Chief Master Bi secretly kills you."

"Yes."

Fang Che went out.

He searched for Bi Yunyan in the vicinity with his divine sense, but found nothing.

However, they discovered that the snow had been sealed off...

From the moment he stepped out of the room, he could no longer hear anything from inside.

"Third Brother!"

After Fang Che left, Bi Changhong couldn't wait to set up a soundproof barrier: "I'm so angry today... You have no idea, I almost exploded just now!"

"Then why hasn't it exploded yet?" Feng Du rolled his eyes.

"...When I got to your room, I calmed down..." Bi Changhong was speechless.

"What happened? Tell me. You were so smug about Bi Yunyan's breakthrough earlier, weren't you?"

Feng Du asked, "How awesome is that? The Nine Saints Halo was almost at its peak!"

"Sigh, I'm so angry because of this girl."

The veins on Bi Changhong's forehead throbbed.

The emotions are rising...

Unfortunately, Night Demon had already left.

"Tell me about it."

Upon hearing Bi Changhong's words, Feng Du understood.

But they pretended not to know, waiting for Bi Changhong to explain himself.

"Third Brother, that bastard Night Demon... he actually... secretly... has already..."

Bi Changhong recounted the whole story as if her heart was breaking: "...Tell me about this, tell me about this! Huh? A concubine! Damn it! I was really going to let her be the legal wife...but she became a concubine? Third Brother, look at this, which family has such a good-for-nothing daughter?"

Bi Changhong's anger surged like a mountain, his emotions completely flaring up: "If word gets out, will I, Bi Changhong, have no shame? I painstakingly nurtured a genius, only to have him become someone else's concubine?! This is a descendant of the Bi family! A concubine? Huh? A concubine?! Holy crap!"

Feng Du's face darkened.

Who the hell are you cursing by repeating this over and over again?

Bi Changhong slammed his fist on the table, yelling, "Damn it! Damn it!"

"boom!"

Feng Du slammed his fist on the table, his face darkening as he cursed, "You bastard! Shut up!"

“???” Bi Changhong was stunned.

"What else would she be if not a concubine? Does she want to be the principal wife?! Is your girl wife material?"

Feng Du scolded her with exasperation, "With your wife's carefree and irresponsible nature, her innocent, lively, and adorable little girl who never seems to grow up, which family would feel comfortable letting her be their principal wife?"

Bi Changhong: "..."

The posture of slamming the table suddenly went limp, and he plopped down in the chair, feeling dizzy all over.

This...this isn't right.

Seeing Feng Du's dark face, a sudden realization dawned on him: "Feng Xue?!"

He remained silent.

She just stared at him with a dark face: "Sit still! You're over ten thousand years old, jumping around like that, can't you even manage?!"

Bi Changhong let out a breath and slumped into the chair like a lump of mud, utterly exhausted: "I see..."

Feng Du frowned and scolded, "Are you just as old-fashioned and conservative as those brats? Are you just going to live off your little Bi family's meager territory? Look at the state of the Bi family now, are you even a proper ancestor?!"

"Look at how spoiled you are now!"

"They won't allow Bi Yunyan to marry the person she loves, and now you're forbidding her too? Are you still the deputy sect leader? Don't you have any sense of magnanimity? The Bi family is corrupt, and you're corrupt along with them?!"

Feng Du pointed at Bi Changhong's nose and launched into a tirade of abuse.

Bi Changhong huddled in the chair with his head down, not daring to utter a sound.

After a long silence, she weakly said, "Third Brother, I didn't know about this. I really didn't come here to compete with you for the position of your principal wife..."

"You want to argue with me?!"

Feng Du slammed the table down in front of Bi Changhong, shattering it: "You want to compete with me? Then you marry me!?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Bi Changhong couldn't help but burst into laughter, stammering, "I meant vying for the position of the principal wife for these two girls... I really hadn't thought about it. With Feng Xue as the principal wife, it doesn't matter if Bi Yunyan is a concubine or a secondary wife... Anyway, with Feng Xue by her side, she won't suffer any losses in her life."

Feng Du was taken aback: "You were so angry just now, and now you're so open-minded?"

"What can we do if we're not enlightened..."

Bi Changhong looked utterly bewildered: "She's about to become my mistress... Sigh, I've done everything I could. Who knows when she'll come back pregnant? What can I do? The Nine Saints' Halo, can it kill her? As for confinement, besides my own domain, who can withstand the Nine Saints' Halo?"

"If they were to keep me in my domain, wouldn't that drive me crazy? Besides, with the existence of the Nine Saints' Halo, they could kill me in just a few years..."

Bi Changhong sighed, feeling a powerlessness he had never felt before in his life: "I can't bear to waste it..."

"Sixth brother."

Feng Du said, "You know the gravity of this matter; leaking it would cause endless trouble."

"I know."

Bi Changhong said, "I'm just a little unwilling... I didn't realize this girl was such a genius before, and now that I've just discovered it, she's already someone else's family... This is really..."

"Aren't you still a member of the righteous sect?"

Feng Du said, "Besides, the Serpent God is about to arrive, and the war of the gods... basically, it has already begun now. Whether it will continue in the future is still unknown. Let alone whether the younger generation can survive, even we are not sure how many of us will survive."

"If the world only has two or three years left, what's wrong with letting the younger generation live a little more comfortably? We can't let them all cry and whine as the world is destroyed because of our actions, can we?"

At this point, Bi Changhong fell truly silent.

"Besides, you've already said you'd take care of Night Demon's marriage. What, are you going back on your word?"

Feng Du did not mention Yan Beihan.

Since Bi Changhong already knows about Bi Yunyan's affairs, he won't be able to hide Yan Beihan's affairs from him sooner or later; but it shouldn't be him who tells him.

With that old silver coin Yan Nan around, why should I worry about him? Let him handle things with Bi Changhong...

"Fine. Let them be."

Bi Changhong put forward a condition: "But I have to beat up that Night Demon. Otherwise, I won't be able to get rid of this anger."

"What good will be a beating do? Besides being cursed by the younger generation in their hearts, what's the point of venting your anger?"

Feng Du said, "Besides, don't you understand Night Demon's current status and future potential? Do you think you're disgracing Bi Yunyan?"

Bi Changhong was dumbfounded: "You can't even vent your anger?"

"You'll have to succeed first, or Bai Jing, Duan Xiyang, and Sun Wutian will come after you to fight them to the death!"

Feng Du asked.

That sentence was a fatal blow.

Bi Changhong stretched out his long legs again, feeling weak all over, because he knew that if he really dared to touch the Night Demon, Yan Nan would fight him to the death!
Feng Du said, "How many years have you neglected your family? I've never seen you care about your descendants. What are your descendants ten thousand years from now, like dogs? Why are you suddenly so concerned? You, Bi Changhong, aren't usually this sentimental."

"Isn't this the Nine Saints Halo...?"

Bi Changhong muttered, "And this girl... sigh, she's lawless, now she even dares to talk back to me, her ancestor..."

"This girl is so bold?"

"Don't even mention it. Before, this girl wouldn't dare lift her head when she saw me, but after I beat her up a few times this time, she suddenly let loose and started yelling at me..."

Bi Changhong looked exasperated: "Even my son has never dared to argue with me like this..."

"Who told you to lay a hand on me? You could have just glared at me and done it, but you had to resort to violence!"

Feng Du was speechless: "As long as you don't take action against your descendants, no one will dare to offend you in the slightest. But if you do take action, you're just asking for trouble! You've lost the respect others have for you..."

"Because they'll find that even if you take action, it's nothing special... not to mention you didn't even kill anyone!"

"You're just asking for trouble!"

Bi Changhong was verbally abused by Feng Du and felt completely bewildered.

After sighing and lamenting for a long time, I finally felt like I had come back to my senses.

Listless.

"Where's the girl?"

"In my field."

"Then how did you find out?"

"..."

Bi Changhong murmured, "I need to calm down a bit more!"

"Peaceful my ass!"

Feng Du stood up: "Let's go back to the sect!"

Under the command of the dictatorship, the members of the righteous sect immediately assembled and then bid farewell to the Golden Dragon Hall.

The Golden Dragon Palace dared not offend the Righteous Sect. During their time here, these killing gods were all on tenterhooks, fearing that a single mishap could destroy their Golden Dragon Palace.

Now that we're finally leaving, everyone breathes a sigh of relief.

They even gave each person a gift.

When they arrived at Bi Yunyan's residence, she was not there. The Golden Dragon Palace was quite surprised: "Where is Princess Yunyan?"

"Whatever you give her, just give it to me."

Bi Changhong said.

"Ok."

Unlike other gifts, which are clearly identifiable, the Golden Dragon Palace gave Bi Yunyan a spatial ring, the contents of which were unknown.

Bi Changhong took it, and then Feng Du took it and threw it to Feng Xue: "You keep it for her."

Feng Xue chuckled to herself, "Yes."

Bi Changhong was speechless: How despicable must I be to embezzle gifts that others have given to their descendants?
"Disciples of the Golden Dragon Hall will resume their travels in the martial world from today onwards. Please take good care of them."

"Nothing to say."

"go!"

At Feng Du's command, he led the old demons into the air, amidst billowing smoke and surging killing intent.

A dark cloud shot into the sky and flew away at high speed.

Only after the members of the Sovereign Sect disappeared did the people of the Golden Dragon Hall finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Quickly tidy up the island, clean it up, prepare offerings, everyone be alert... get ready to welcome the Dragon God!"

Hai Zhengping said, "The Dragon God has already sent back a divine message. He is already on this continent and may return at any time."

Above the waves of the sea.

Feng Du led his men halfway when suddenly an imposing force appeared in front of them, as if a wall had suddenly materialized.

The Heaven-Supporting Blade rose, sealing off external forces and blocking the Lone Horizontal Blade. He frowned: "Who!?"

A flash in the air.

A figure dressed in black emerged from the void.

"Stop blocking the separatist movement! Hold on!"
