Lord of the night.

Chapter 1440 Yan Nan Has Fallen! [Two Chapters Combined]

"boom!"

Yan Nan slammed his hand on the table with a gloomy face.

Immediately, everyone felt a chill and turned to look.

Yan Nan took a deep breath, his face ashen, and slowly said, "Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, I am not a heartless person, nor am I inconsiderate of Seventh Brother's feelings. But... is this the time for sorrow? Chen Gu, are you feeling grief now?"

Yan Nan was absolutely furious!

I really couldn't hold it back.

Chen Gu's heart tightened, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Our righteous sect is almost completely drained by these brats!"

Yan Nan gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with cold light: "The Grand Master is Chen Gu's son, and the Deputy Grand Master is a descendant of Bi Changhong... What has the Divine Weasel Sect used to develop all these years? It has used the 'Only My Righteous Sect'! Can't you see that?"

"It was the flesh and blood of the Sovereign Sect that were gradually smuggled out by rats! And then used to support the entire Divine Weasel Sect!"

"And for so many years, they have been harming the interests of the Sovereign Church, killing members of the Sovereign Church, plotting various schemes against the Sovereign Church, and destroying various branches and plans of the Sovereign Church!"

"This is a great disgrace to the Sovereign Church, and also its greatest crisis!"

"How can you still feel sorrow after raising such rebellious, unfilial, treacherous, and utterly heartless descendants?"

"More pain?!"

Yan Nan, his face contorted with rage, cursed, "Feng Sanbi! You brought back good news! And you're trying to downplay it like a joke?! With your attitude, you call yourself the First Deputy Chief Cult Leader?! What, you think you can just make this a small matter and let it go?!"

Immediately, all the brothers fell silent.

Only Yan Nan was roaring.

Feng Du coughed once and had no choice but to lower his head.

He was trying to be considerate of his brother's feelings, but Yan Nan was right.

This is a huge problem!
"These people are almost more familiar with the specific affairs of the lower levels of the Sovereign Church than we are! They can see through any loopholes in any link! It's as easy for them to get whatever they want or take anything from the Sovereign Church!"

"What do the Divine Weasel Cult eat? What do they drink? What do they use for cultivation? Where do they live? Where do they train? Where do their resources come from? How could they have kept this a secret for so many years!?"

"We only recently learned of the existence of the Divine Weasel Cult!"

"Who the hell has blinded us for the past three thousand years?!"

"How much has been lost in three thousand years!"

"So far, we've only found out one Grand Master and one Northern God of Wealth; but what about the ones we haven't found out yet? How many more are there?! Since the Grand Master and one of the Vice Grand Masters are from the 'Only My Righteous Sect,' where did the others come from? If they're just strangers from the martial arts world, how can these bastards trust them?!"

"Don't you even think about these issues?"

"Still feeling indignant? Grieved? Our righteous religion has become a sieve! A sieve!"

Yan Nan slammed her hand on the table repeatedly, making a series of loud bangs.

His eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to devour someone.

"Don't think that just because the Chen and Bi families have made a fool of themselves, other families are safe. Those few that haven't been investigated yet might not even belong to anyone!"

Yan Nan's anger surged like a mountain: "What kind of trash have you raised!"

"This is betrayal! This is an enemy! This is a despicable and shameless foe! This is ten thousand times worse than an enemy like the Guardian Dongfang San San! Ten thousand times more despicable! Bastard! You son of a bitch!"

The study was quiet.

Yan Nan roared like thunder.

Although the sound couldn't travel outside, the vibrations from slamming the table and shouting made the entire building shake...

His face was as black as charcoal.

Chen Gu was no longer sad.

Bi Changhong stopped joking.

The others also fell into deep thought, their faces grave and grim.

"This is not the time for brotherhood! This is the time for accountability! Both of you have committed a crime! A grave crime!!"

"Your own descendants are shaking the very foundation of the sect!"

"Bi Changhong! How dare you still be grinning like that here!"

"Chen Gu! What face do you have to be so sad here?! Spitting blood and shedding tears? Who are you trying to impress? Who are you trying to impress?!"

"You've poured your hearts and souls into cultivating mortal enemies for your sect! This is digging your own grave! I think you're all getting senile!"

"Feng Laosan!" Yan Nan roared.

"You're still joking? Is this something a First Vice Chief Cult Leader like you should do?! Does it mean that rules and discipline don't matter, and brotherhood is all that matters? Why are you trying to smooth things over? Is your position for smoothing things over?!"

Yan Nan slammed her fist on the table: "Now is the time to discuss how to kill the enemy! How to find those bastards! Kill them! Kill them all! This is not the time for mutual comfort!"

"Now that the Serpent God is about to descend and a catastrophe is about to strike the continent, you just announced a full-scale war, and then you dropped this bombshell of internal strife within the 'Only My Righteous Sect'! You're fucking stupid!? What am I supposed to do!?"

"Where's your brain?! Did a dog eat it?!"

"Their brains have been eaten by dogs! And your brain, Feng Du, has been eaten by dogs too!?"

"Internal and external troubles! Beset by internal and external difficulties! Separatist restrictions! Did you come back this time just to kill me?! Would it kill you to announce the news of your major battle a little later in the evening?!"

"Give me at least some time to prepare!"

"And you lot, you raised a bunch of good offspring who jump out to cause trouble at this critical time, huh! And you're still complaining about being sad! Sad! Sad!"

With a loud crash, Yan Nan slammed the teacup onto the ground!
After a furious outburst, no one, including Feng Du, dared to utter a sound.

The study was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Only the sound of Yan Nan panting heavily could be heard.

Feng Du coughed and said, "I thought about this on my way back. Bi Changhong, you speak."

Bi Changhong's hands went numb: "I..."

He stared at Feng Du with bewildered eyes.

If you haven't thought about it, just say you haven't. What kind of behavior is it to suddenly shift the blame onto me? What should I say? Yan Wu looks like he's about to eat someone alive right now. Whatever I say will just get me yelled at.

Even you, Feng Du, got a thorough dressing-down from him. If I said something wrong, wouldn't he eat me alive?
But judging from Feng Du's current demeanor, he clearly doesn't want to talk.

Looking at the other brothers, I saw that they all turned their heads away and avoided eye contact.

Bi Changhong cursed inwardly: "I've never seen you guys this afraid of me before!"

He could only stammer, "Fifth Brother, well, my husband has been arrested. He's currently in the White Shock Domain. If we can just arrest him and interrogate him, we can probably trace the clues... I'll interrogate him myself! I promise..."

The words are not finished yet.

Yan Nan slammed her fist on the table again: "You're going to interrogate him yourself? You fucking want to interrogate him yourself? You're just a split soul with no clues left, and you're going to interrogate him yourself?!"

"Bi Changhong! Shut up!"

Yan Nan was so angry that her hair ornament exploded.

"How absurd! How utterly shameful!"

"It feels like a dream!"

"Nightmare!"

Yan Nan pointed at the eight people below and cursed, "You guys are really..."

He clutched his chest and gasped for breath.

Bai Jing coughed and said, "Fifth Brother, may I speak?"

All eyes immediately turned to them.

Chen Gu, Bi Changhong, and Feng Du all looked like they were pleading for help.

Wu Xiaoyu, Hanyan, and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

It must be said that Vice Chief Leader Bai's act of stepping forward at this critical moment can be considered a heroic act of "turning the tide".

Yan Nan didn't say anything, but just stared fiercely at Bai Jing.

His gaze was fierce!

Neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

So Bai Jing bravely spoke up: "Fifth Brother, this matter... is indeed a big deal. But Seventh Brother's emotions are understandable. He was in the sect and knew nothing. When he came back, he was hit on the head by a cataclysmic event. He couldn't adjust his emotions for a while... This... is not Seventh Brother's fault."

Yan Nan slammed her hand on the table: "Is that my fault?!"

Bai Jing immediately stood up, his neck stiff, and said, "I'm just stating the facts. Why are you banging on the table? This has nothing to do with the Bai family, and even if it did, you wouldn't be able to find me! Why are you banging on the table at me? If you want to hear me, then speak; if you don't, then sit down. Why are you banging on the table? Can't you speak without banging on the table and glaring at me?"

"Old Bai!"

Yan Nan stood up angrily, spun around in a circle, and then sat down again, her eyes blazing with fury: "You speak! Continue speaking!"

Bai Jing sat down, and all around him, including Feng Du, were filled with admiring gazes!
When it really matters, it's still Bai Laoba we need!
awesome!

"First of all, Fifth Brother's considerations are reasonable."

Bai Jingdao said, "The revelation of the Divine Weasel Sect before the great war was indeed a major headache. Judging from the fact that the Bi family's Northern God of Wealth Sect Leader and the Chen family's Grand Master, it's certain that the Weiwo Zhengjiao Sect has been infiltrated to the point of being riddled with holes."

"How many people are members of the Divine Weasel Cult? How many are involved with each major family? What is the exact number of individuals involved? How have they operated over the past three thousand years? These are all of paramount importance!"

"But Fifth Brother is right. These lines have already endangered the entire Sovereign Cult!"

"Therefore, we must act swiftly and decisively!"

Bai Jingdao said, "I suggest that from now on, all nine of us brothers should take action ourselves! We should dig out the clues through interrogation."

"We also need to go through Suiyun's secret guards."

“Other departments may have been infiltrated, but Yan Suiyun’s secret guards could not have been!”

"And then there are their respective assassins!"

"No news is allowed to leak out until everything is settled! If any news gets out, it means there's a problem among all nine of us brothers!"

"Third Brother issued a gag order regarding the Bi family matter on Dragon God Island. They should be fine!"

"On the way here, only the three of us knew about Dong Xitian of the Chen family! That secret belongs only to the nine of us!"

"There's no time to lose, let's get started immediately!"

"We must clear these things out before we can talk about the great war! Otherwise, with internal and external troubles, our righteous sect will truly be finished."

"Also, this wave of Night Demons has just returned. Once we identify the individuals, if the scale becomes too large, we can involve the Presidium as well. The Presidium is a newly established department and cannot be infiltrated."

"Let's first set this direction, and then take it one step at a time before we can see what else is possible!"

"But every operation must be kept secret!"

"Moreover, this time, Third Brother must be present during the interrogation of the Northern God of Wealth from the Bi family, and personally conduct the interrogation! Only your Illusory Worldly Mind can guarantee that the interrogation will not go wrong! No one else will do!"

Bai Jing said, "He's already at the peak of the Ninth Grade Saint King, and he'll soon be on the verge of becoming a half-step Divine Path cultivator. Although we're a little higher than him, there aren't many who can completely overwhelm him in terms of divine soul and spiritual sense!"

"Third Brother is the most reliable!"

Bai Jing paused here and slowly said, "As long as we find out, we cannot be lenient in this round!"

"We must nip this in the bud!"

Everyone nodded.

Yan Nan suppressed his temper and said, "That's right."

Bai Jing said, "There's another point... these people were all members of the sect, and they all had the Five Elemental Gu in their bodies, but later the Five Elemental Gu disappeared. This is of course the power of Itachi, but how it disappeared is also of utmost importance!"

“There are many suspicious points! We need to uncover them step by step during the interrogation!” Bai Jing pondered for a moment again: “I’ve finished speaking. I’ll add more later if I think of anything else… Now you can start shouting.”

"I'll yell at you, you little brat!"

Yan Nan cursed.

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere immediately became more relaxed.

Then Yan Nan said, "Then let's do it this way, let Sui Yun and Ye Mo participate in the operation."

"Cough cough."

Feng Du coughed a few times and said, "You guys go out first and prepare for the interrogation. Bai Jing, you're in charge!"

"how about you?"

Bai Jing frowned.

Didn't we just agree to use your Illusory World Mind as the main force?

"I'll be there shortly."

Feng Du said, "There are some other things I need to discuss with your fifth brother. It's not convenient for you to be here!"

Immediately, all the brothers understood.

One by one, they left the study like rabbits being herded by a dog.

They all breathed a sigh of relief once they stepped outside.

I'm finally out... Today was absolutely... a day of being verbally abused relentlessly. I haven't been insulted like this in thousands of years.

Bi Changhong put his arm around Chen Gu's shoulder and said, "Seventh Brother, we're really brothers in misfortune."

Chen Gu bared his teeth and roared, "Get out!!"

In the study.

Seeing that all his brothers had left, Feng Du breathed a sigh of relief and quickly threw out three soundproof barriers.

"!!!"

Upon seeing this, Yan Nan was terrified and felt her whole body tremble. She jumped up from the chair, her long hair standing straight up in the air.

His eyeballs almost popped out.

no way.

Yan Nan was horrified.

Even with such a huge incident just now, Feng Du only threw out a soundproof barrier!
Now, three in a row!

This is clearly more serious than that!

"Three...three forced!"

Yan Nan's face contorted in pain as she exclaimed, "Is there something even more serious?!"

Feng Du, his face dark with anger, snapped, "Show some respect to your brother!"

"I respect your second uncle!"

Yan Nan yelled, "Get to the point!"

There's not much that can be done about blocking independence.

We're in the wrong here.

Yan Nan was right to criticize himself. But you started criticizing me before I even said anything... that's incredibly disrespectful!

With a dark expression, he said, "It's about the Night Demon. That's why I brought the Night Demon back with me this time."

Yan Nan pressed one hand to her chest, forcing her heart to stop pounding, and asked in a terrified voice, her mouth dry, "The Night Demon? What happened?"

"cough!"

Feng Du took a breath and said, "This time, let's go to Dragon God Island. I had Xue Wu use the Soul-Stabilizing Divine Light to check on the Night Demon!"

"Damn it!!!"

Yan Nan felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her eyes glazed over for a moment: "And then?"

"Then Xue Wu harbored murderous intent..."

Feng Du coughed and said, quite embarrassed, "He told me very clearly that even if it meant bearing the infamy, he had to find an opportunity to kill this little devil at all costs..."

"I……"

Yan Nan was so angry that she saw stars.

A slap landed on the desk.

The table that had been slapped hundreds of times but hadn't been destroyed was instantly reduced to dust!
Overwhelmed with anger and anxiety, Yan Nan swayed for a moment and then sat down heavily on her backside.

With a loud crash, the chair shattered again.

Yan Nan plopped down on the ground, feeling dizzy and speechless for a moment, staring wide-eyed and shaking her head.

Feng Du was startled.

He hurriedly used his supreme divine skills to regulate Yan Nan's meridians.

But Yan Nan slapped his hand away and got up from the ground. Suddenly, she exploded with a rage, her voice hoarse as she groaned, "You bastard!!"

"You won't give up until you kill me today!"

"What a genius!"

"What is Soul-Stabilizing Divine Light? You don't know? Put the Night Demon in front of Xue Wu and have it monitor her obediently with Soul-Stabilizing Divine Light..."

Yan Nan punched himself in the head, on the verge of tears: "Where did you get such a genius idea from?!"

"Ouch... Holy crap!"

Yan Nan lay down stiffly, feeling utterly powerless.

Lying on the pile of debris, I suddenly felt utterly disheartened.

I don't want to talk anymore.

I don't even want to breathe anymore.

He stared blankly at the ceiling, utterly despondent.

He muttered, "It's understandable if others make such mistakes, but Feng Du... you, you're supposed to be my backup... if something goes wrong with you... damn it... this is rotten to the core..."

Even those who advocate for independence feel embarrassed.

He coughed and said, "Don't be like that, didn't I bring the Night Demon back?"

"Heh...you dare not bring it back?"

Yan Nan lay weakly on the ground and said, "In the future... when Fang Che sees Xue Wu, Xue Wu only needs to use her Soul-Stabilizing Divine Light to look at her and she will feel: 'Hey, this looks so familiar, she looks exactly like that Night Demon...'"

"Damn it... We couldn't even avoid it! You actually invited them here... and left the Night Demon there for them to look at calmly and openly..."

Yan Nan didn't even want to curse anymore.

"Keep disappearing."

Yan Nan groaned, "Don't ever come back in this lifetime... I can't afford it. I really can't afford to use you, Feng Sanbi!... Other people cause trouble, but you're practically digging up their ancestral graves!..."

Feng Du said hesitantly, "Xue Wu isn't idle, why would she use the Soul-Stabilizing Divine Light to look at Fang Che? Your worry is simply... nonsense."

"Ha ha……"

Yan Nan said weakly, "Dongfang San San... as long as he knows that Xue Wu used the Soul-Stabilizing Divine Light to examine the Night Demon, he will demand that Xue Wu also examine the Guardians' genius: 'Look at us little guys, who can compare to the Night Demon, or even be compared to the Night Demon...'"

"This is an inevitable step!"

Yan Nan groaned, "Damn it... damn it... Feng Laosan, I can't take on this vice chief leader position in charge of teaching affairs anymore, you take over... I'm quitting... I'm done!"

"Feng Laosan... I've been waiting for you to come back, not so you could kill me."

Feng Du said awkwardly, "Well, I was a bit reckless about this... but please get up first."

"I can't get up!"

Yan Nan lay on the ground, barely able to speak, and said, "I can't get up!"

"You're supposed to be the deputy head of the sect in charge of academic affairs, yet you're acting like a child..." Feng Du provoked him.

"I quit! Is quitting finally the solution?"

Yan Nan lay down and closed his eyes: "This is not a job for humans. I'm so damn envious of Dongfang San San right now... She's so damn happy! So damn comfortable and great! And then look at myself... Compared to her, I... feel like I want to die!"

"The sect is in complete chaos. My sworn brothers are causing me trouble, their kids are causing me trouble, and they all want to kill me. My sworn brother is also holding me back and wants to kill me too... I can't do this job anymore."

"You'll have to do it again, Third Brother!"

"You think you're so great! You're the best! You come on! I quit..."

"I know you resent me for usurping your throne more than nine thousand years ago... But I dare not do it again. I apologize to you, please forgive me... I submit!"

Yan Nan murmured.

Feng Du scratched his head and sighed, "Look at you like this. If my older brother finds out, he'll be in big trouble..."

"Heh, I'm not bragging. Right now, even if Big Brother came, it wouldn't make a difference. Besides, if Big Brother did come, I wouldn't get up unless he beat you to death!"

"Three bastards!"

After Feng Du repeatedly apologized and cursed him a thousand times, Yan Nan finally managed to sit up with difficulty. Supported by Feng Du, she staggered into the inner room.

Then he rolled onto the bed.

That's the bed where Fang Che lay down several times to heal his injuries.

Then Yan Nan lay still.

I was really shocked today.

Yan Nan felt like she had never imagined such a thing, even if her head had exploded! Several things happened one after another!

That feeling of powerlessness was something Yan Nan had never experienced in all her years.

I feel completely weak.

And it wasn't just for show; he was genuinely exhausted and collapsed.

If these things were done by the Guardians, even if Dongfang San San were a hundred times more powerful, Yan Nan wouldn't feel so powerless. It just so happens that they came from Feng Du…

Dongfang San San can be killed, but Feng Du can be killed too?
This is my brother!

Having no other choice, Feng Du dragged a chair over and placed it next to Yan Nan's bed, where he sat and chatted with Yan Nan.

I felt a mix of emotions I couldn't describe: How could I have...?

After a long while, Yan Nan lay on the bed groaning and asked, "How could you... how could you do something like that? I just can't understand it. You pinned Ye Mo down there and made Xue Wu use the Soul-Stabilizing Divine Light to examine him closely. What kind of brain do you have to do that? Did you lose your mind? How did you lose your mind, Third Brother?!"

"Ahem... I was watching that little guy, and he was acting so righteously with the Guardians. So upright, he didn't seem like someone from the 'Solely Righteous Sect'... I was even wondering if you'd fallen for Dongfang San San's double agent scheme..."

Feng Du said awkwardly.

Yan Nan felt a rush of blood to his head, and he immediately scrambled to his feet, pointing at Feng Du's nose and cursing, "Are you an idiot?! Does he have to act like a righteous demon when he goes undercover in the Guardians? How can he infiltrate without being righteous?!"

"He infiltrated the Guardians, not the Sovereign Church, the Divine Weasel Cult, or the Spirit Serpent Cult!"

"How can someone who isn't a Guardian infiltrate an undercover agent? He has to be even more of a Guardian than a Guardian himself to infiltrate! And you're calling that a loophole? Don't you think that's absurd?!"

"Damn it!"
