Chapter 1442 Father-in-Law and Son-in-Law [Bonus chapter for the two alliance leaders who met by chance and missed each other by chance, and who ignored each other completely]

Fang Che was confused: "Father-in-law, what... what's going on with me?"

Yan Suiyun said with a dark face, "It's alright. There will be more and more times in the future, but the holy bone fragments will become finer and less. Until the next stage. Now it can be considered that the indestructible bone is initially formed. That's all, nothing special."

"Ok."

Fang Che was puzzled: He was clearly very enthusiastic just a moment ago, but his attitude changed in just a short while.

You really are worthy of being Yan Nan's son!
Yan Suiyun felt herself becoming a little too sensitive: This is her son-in-law! This...right? Isn't it? Hmm?
So... it seems like there's nothing wrong with it?
So he added, "My son-in-law's martial arts talent is arguably the best in the world. Even I, based on experience, misjudged it."

Fang Che smiled apologetically: "Father-in-law, it was just a minor oversight."

Yan Suiyun smiled warmly and said, "If there's anything you need to say about your experiences during this time, or anything you don't understand, you can tell me about it."

Fang Che was delighted and said, "Indeed, there are many things to do."

Then the explanation began.

The story begins after Feng Du arrives, and when it gets to the point where he raises Gu to become a god in Shenjing, but can't return, he says, "This part is a bit strange. Vice Master Yan... well, Grandpa wanted me to come back to participate, but it didn't happen in the end. It's probably because Vice Master Feng didn't want to let me go. But Vice Master Feng is also very good to me... so, I'm a bit puzzled."

Sun Wutian made it very clear that Feng Du wouldn't let Fang Che return: "Vice Chief Cult Leader Feng won't let you go back."

But here I can only say that I guessed it myself, and I can't betray Sun Wutian.

Yan Suiyun also sensed something was wrong and couldn't figure out why: "Why is Uncle San talking so incoherently? I was wondering why you didn't come back at such a crucial time as the ultimate Gu breeding... Please continue."

"Then it's time to head to Dragon God Island... Snow Dance, Soul-Stabilizing Divine Light..."

Fang Che looked bewildered and said, "I'm a little confused..."

Yan Suiyun immediately understood: "Third Uncle still suspects your identity. He suspects you're a spy for the Guardians... Hahaha... I bet Third Uncle is regretting it now."

Based on the intelligence network that Yan Suiyun possessed, he might feel confused about a single matter.

However, when several things are connected, he can immediately grasp the key points and thus uncover the truth.

"Xue Wu is an absolute high-ranking member of the Guardians! There's nothing the Guardians need to hide from Xue Wu! She must know every secret, because given the current situation on the Guardians' side, there are too many subtle operations that require her precise execution. Therefore, Xue Wu needs to be fully aware of all the secrets... If you were one of them, Xue Wu's Soul-Stabilizing Divine Light would be enough to shake your composure, no matter how high your cultivation level was!"

"And if Xue Wu shows any sign of distress, Uncle San can immediately capture you with his Illusory World Mind!"

"It's a pity you're not... so it actually exposes your extraordinary talent. For the Sovereign Cult, this is tantamount to revealing their absolute trump card for the future."

Yan Suiyun smiled bitterly: "Because right now, on the surface, Night Demon hasn't broken through to Saint King. Even though he's the Emperor of Eternal Night, he hasn't broken through to Saint King yet and hasn't shown his Saint Aura. So right now, Feng Yun and Xiao Han, who are both at the Great Perfection of the Nine Saints, are still the highest!"

"Therefore, although the Night Demon is generally recognized as dangerous, it can still hide within a certain specific range!"

"However, after Xue Wu examines it with her Soul-Stabilizing Divine Light, she will immediately discover that this Night Demon's potential is even higher than that of a Nine Saints at the Great Perfection! Moreover, Yan Beihan is not particularly bloodthirsty, while the Night Demon is a recognized ferocious demon... Therefore, you have jumped from the third target to the number one kill target!"

"So... Uncle San's plan backfired..."

Yan Suiyun smiled helplessly, and was also a little worried.

Somewhat dissatisfied.

But there was nothing she could do. It was Feng Du's decision, and the matter was already in the past. Although Yan Suiyun always said that she was not a member of the righteous sect, she would never point her finger at Feng Du and yell at him!
"In this way, the danger you face will increase several times over! Sigh! Uncle, what you've done..."

Yan Suiyun frowned and pondered deeply: "Let me think, how can I cover for you... It's really a headache, how did I end up in this mess again..."

Fang Che was still shaken: "Luckily I wasn't an undercover agent, otherwise this whole thing would have been..."

Yan Suiyun sneered, "What's there to be happy about not being an undercover agent? I wish you were, and even more so, I wish you were not only an undercover agent but also Fang Yunzheng's son, so that you and Xiaohan would be truly safe! But unfortunately, you don't have that blessing!"

Fang Che lowered his head, not daring to speak.

"anything else?"

"Then there's the Divine Weasel Cult, the Spirit Serpent Cult..."

Fang Che recounted the whole story in detail.

"...Hmm, it seems the 'Sole Righteous Cult' is really going to have some fun."

Yan Suiyun sighed, "It's utterly chaotic... After causing so much trouble, these nine major families absolutely need a thorough overhaul. Even if they are thoroughly overhauled, it won't be a cleanup..."

"Some people keep saying that the Guardians are a den of snakes and rats, extremely dark... Now, the nine major families here have been riddled with holes, what face do they have to talk about the Guardians? Their Wind, Rain, and Snow... haven't had such a thing happen to them!"

Yan Suiyun's words clearly revealed his utter contempt for the Sovereign Church.

He then fell into deep thought, placed two teacups on the table, frowned and muttered to himself, "The Bi family... the leader of the Northern God of Wealth Cult; Chen Xifeng... tsk, I really don't have any information on people who have been dead for so many years."

He wanted to access the documents immediately, but remembering that Night Demon was still there, he had to hold off for now, muttering to himself, "Since we have these two, there's no reason we only have these two... there must be others..."

He frowned, deep in thought: "The Bai family... is not very likely, but the Wu family must be involved. The Feng family... is actually less suspicious than the Bai family, because of the huge turmoil they experienced... As for the Yu family and the other families... hiss..."

Yan Suiyun couldn't help but scratch his head and sigh, "I really feel a headache coming on for your grandfather..."

Fang Che dared not speak.

After thinking for a long time, Yan Suiyun said in a deep voice, "This matter... is truly earth-shattering."

Even Yan Suiyun, who had no goodwill towards the Sovereign Cult, sighed heavily: "Three thousand years of infiltration... penetrating to the bone marrow. It's causing serious damage..."

After a long pause, he said, "Continue."

Fang Che then continued speaking, mentioning the imminent arrival of the Serpent God.

Yan Suiyun's expression clearly showed a moment of surprise: "So fast?"

He stood up and paced around.

He frowned and muttered, "It shouldn't be this fast... The Grand Master hasn't even come out yet..."

"..."

Fang Che suddenly gleaned a lot of information from those words.

What do you mean?
Then he continued his story, but he didn't know much more after that.

Finally, the topic of sealing off the snow came up.

Yan Suiyun flew into a rage: "Isn't it chaotic enough already?!"

Fang Che shrank back, not daring to utter a sound.

"What are your own thoughts?" Yan Suiyun frowned, looking at Fang Che dangerously.

Fang Che hurriedly stood up: "My heart belongs only to Xiao Han. If it weren't for the accident, because of... my status, I really only wanted to be with Xiao Han for life, and live happily ever after with her..."

"Pooh!"

Yan Suiyun spat disgustedly on the ground and raised her hand to stop him: "Shut up! Shut up right now! Anyone can say that, but you... forget it."

"This matter, hmph..."

Yan Suiyun's eyes were like knives, slashing at Fang Che one by one: "With your ugly appearance, Night Demon, you actually... it's unbelievable!"

Fang Che was covered in sweat: "I am indeed chaste... no, I really want to be chaste..."

Yan Suiyun's disgusting face convulsed.

Suddenly, I started to dislike this kid more and more.

But deep down he also knew: Night Demon's abilities and future in martial arts were so great that even someone like him could call him "son-in-law" so affectionately, how could someone like Feng Du not see that?
If Night Demon rises to prominence in the future, needless to say, at around the seventh rank of Saint King, although he still cannot be said to be invincible, no one in the world can kill him!
Given Night Demon's current display of extraordinary combat power, capable of slaying a Saint King, even if Feng Duxuewu and others join forces, Night Demon, though unable to defeat them, can still come and go as he pleases!
Because he has the ability to make his body invisible.

This is the difference between flexible and rigid cultivation methods. Many people who cultivate to the level of a sage-king cannot achieve the ability to vanish into thin air and become formless.

This is the rigid training method.

But the Night Demon is a perfect blend of strength and gentleness, good and evil coexisting, heaven and earth merging, and the universe constantly changing!

When the time comes...

He could roam freely across the vast world.

Unless you trap him with a formation, simultaneously cut off the energy of heaven and earth to prevent his body from changing, and then have a group of experts attack him at all costs, continuously inflicting fatal wounds by sacrificing themselves to give him no time to recover, thus wearing him down for a long time!

However, according to Yan Suiyun's knowledge, such a practice has occurred no more than three times throughout history.

The most devastating of these was the encirclement and annihilation of Yunxiao Qinglong Ye Fanzhen!

Once the Night Demon rises, it will be the unstoppable rise of the tenth super power of the Sovereign Sect. At that time, the Feng family, as the number one family of the Sovereign Sect, will be the first to be affected!
Feng Du is now locking Feng Xue to the Night Demon for the sake of future generations.

It's also an investment in advance!

Because the Night Demon's marriage is still not exposed.

At such a time, it is like sending charcoal in snowy weather.

How could Feng Du be someone whose feelings could be swayed by those of a junior? Feng Xue likes him? What does Feng Xue's liking matter?

If Night Demon weren't so valuable, Feng Du would have slapped him across the face and ended this whole pointless love affair!
Love! It's utterly absurd!
As Yan Suiyun pondered, a headache began to form.

If Feng Du really did it to help Feng Xue's love... then this matter is actually easier to handle.

But behind this lies the eternal interests of the Feng family!

That's difficult to handle.

Even if Feng Xue is killed, Feng Du can just send another one over!
Since Feng Du has this idea and has clearly told Ye Mo about it, he will never give up.

"You kid..."

Yan Suiyun pondered for a long time, considering everything from the obstacles Ye Mo and Yan Beihan would face after establishing their family, their rise to power, the rivals they would have to confront, and the factions they needed to eliminate. In the end, he could only say calmly, "For now, let's put this matter on hold!"

"Let's see how the power struggle unfolds at the highest levels."

Yan Suiyun could only resort to such a passive countermeasure.

Because he knew perfectly well that this wasn't a matter of whether Night Demon wanted to or not!
If Feng Du has this intention, even if he stuffs a woman like a sow into your bed, you'll have to endure it!

"One more thing..."

Fang Che spoke in a low voice, somewhat timidly.

"Anything else?"

Yan Suiyun said in a menacing tone, "Whose daughter is this?!"

"This time it's not my daughter..."

Fang Che said cautiously, "It's about Feng Nuan... I have a feeling that something is wrong with Feng Nuan."

"Ok?"

When Feng Nuan was mentioned, Yan Suiyun became serious: "Tell me, tell me in detail, the more comprehensive the better."

"!!"

Yan Suiyun's attitude sent a chill down Fang Che's spine, even making him feel a little scared!
Why is Yan Suiyun so concerned about Feng Nuan's matter? Then it must be something serious!
“…Feng Nuan…subordinates…family, wife and children…cultivation…currently…still have the confidence…”

Fang Che simply recounted the whole story in detail from beginning to end.

“When I came back this time, I talked with Feng Nuan about the Illusionary World and the Mind. That’s why I don’t understand how someone who has been knocked down from the clouds and fallen to the dust, especially in a place like the Righteous Sect, would have absolutely no chance of making a comeback… His life is completely over.”

Fang Che said, "Anyone would be devastated by this. But Feng Nuan was able to maintain such composure. And you, Father-in-law, understand what this 'composure' means. A person without confidence, hope, or foundation cannot possess this kind of 'composure'."

Yan Suiyun finally smiled approvingly: "You've improved a lot since this trip, Night Demon. Before, when you were in Shenjing, you relied on your beast-like intuition, your experience in the martial world, or hearsay about life. But this time, you've started to pay attention to human nature."

Fang Che was a little confused: "Human nature? I..."

I'd like to ask: When did I start paying attention to human nature?

But after thinking about it, I wisely decided not to ask.

"You must remember one thing: no matter the time or the enemy, human weakness is their greatest weakness! Grasp this, and you will be invincible!"

Yan Suiyun said in a deep voice, "As long as there are people, there will be all kinds of human nature."

"Humans are not demons, not monsters, not spirit beasts, not gods, not ghosts. The complexity of human nature is countless!"

"In every person, good and evil coexist, loyalty and betrayal are unified, beauty and ugliness are intertwined, and self-destruction and self-creation go hand in hand!"

"Any opportunity or external influence can change what a person is persisting in. It doesn't necessarily have to be face-to-face teaching or a life-or-death ordeal; a word overheard by a stranger on the street can change his path, or a line or two of a song heard on the street can change his mindset and thus influence his next step."

"And your observation of Feng Nuan is based on your observation of human nature."

Yan Suiyun said, "Perhaps you were unintentional, but you were indeed involved. Now that you are, you need to look at it carefully from now on. Remember, you need to look at it with a detached, cloud-like perspective. Understand?"

Fang Che didn't understand.

Humbly seeking your guidance: "What does Father-in-law mean..."

"If you look at things with an ordinary mindset, it's easy to be influenced by others and lose your own humanity. That's not observing others, but courting your own destruction. Only by looking down from the clouds and analyzing things from above will you find that all the partings and reunions are so shallow, all the vows of eternal love are so laughable; all the joys and sorrows are just smoke and clouds; all the life and death are just a game."

When Yan Suiyun said these words, her expression was very solemn. She said softly, "The emotions and desires of the parties involved can be seen through at a glance by outsiders."

"In this way, over time, it will cultivate..."

Yan Suiyun stopped speaking.

He simply smiled faintly and said, "Let's talk about Feng Nuan."

Fang Che was a little confused. "It will cultivate..." Why did it stop? What will it cultivate? Why didn't Yan Suiyun continue?
Yan Suiyun said, "When Feng Han was born... that year was particularly cold. When Feng Nuan was born a year and a half later, it was winter, but it was unusually warm."

"Therefore, a rumor arose that the two brothers were at odds with each other and could not live or die together."

"Therefore, the Dream Demon, who was still in the sect at the time, was seriously injured, but was still invited by the Feng family. Moreover, in exchange for the Feng family's only ten Soul-Stabilizing Stones, the Dream Demon was asked to enter a dream of the mortal world for the two brothers."

"Then the Nightmare consumed the Soul-Stabilizing Stone, transformed into an immortal body, entered the Dream of the Mortal World, and left behind two sentences."

"Cold and warm are both determined by the weather; when the cold reaches its extreme, warmth follows, and life revives under the rising sun."

Warmth and cold are both common; extreme warmth leads to cold, and all things hibernate awaiting the long night!

Yan Suiyun said, "Then he said that warmth and cold coexist, which is the cycle. Both warmth and cold are bestowed by heaven."

"After that incident, although the Nightmare Demon obtained ten Soul-Stabilizing Stones, he was once again severely injured. He was already seriously injured, but that one incident damaged his foundation and injured his immortal soul."

"But the Feng family is powerful, how dare the Dream Demon disobey?"

At this point, Yan Suiyun glanced at her son-in-law and sneered, "If the Dream Demon hadn't damaged your foundation that time, would you have been able to refine the Dream Demon with your ant-like cultivation level back then?"

"what!?"

Fang Che looked completely bewildered: "I don't feel any refining."

"Heh, you idiot!"

Yan Suiyun said, "The human body is inherently equipped with two great furnaces of life, death, yin and yang, one in the dantian and the other in the brain, also known as the sea of ​​consciousness!"

"Why is it called Dantian? What is Dan? Why is it a field? What is a field? You reap what you sow, that is a field. Planting Dan will result in Dan; this is called Dantian!"

"Mind, mind, what does 'sea' mean? Putting aside everything else, you should understand the meaning of 'the sea accepts all rivers,' right? What does 'the sea accepts all rivers' mean? It means 'fusion'! To merge with other things is 'transformation,' and what is transformation? It is the absence of form!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, after all, refining dream demons is a taboo."

Yan Suiyun said calmly, "But you can't deny that your spiritual power has increased several times or even dozens of times since then, right? And with the increase in cultivation, the increase has become even more rapid!"

"Yes, that's true. During those days when I was unconscious, when I woke up, my consciousness had grown so much that I felt somewhat uncomfortable."

Fang Che grinned.

"Ha ha……"

Yan Suiyun sighed, "The Dream Demon must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to have met you... It painstakingly cultivated itself for a lifetime, only to crawl into your brain and become your fertilizer."

"..."

Fang Che was genuinely afraid to speak in front of his father-in-law.

How many times has this old bastard investigated my past? How does he know more about it than I do myself...?

"Let's get back to the topic of sealing warmth and sealing cold..."

Yan Suiyun's words made her son-in-law sweat profusely, so she stopped talking and said, "From this perspective, the Feng family and the higher-ups in the sect have a vague understanding of one thing. That is, Feng Han and Feng Nuan, in a certain sense, are both divinely ordained."

"What is divine bestowal? What exactly is divine bestowal? The Feng family has never revealed this!"

Yan Suiyun said, "Although these two brothers have different personalities, they are equally fast in martial arts cultivation. For example, while others need thousands of years to become Saint Kings, they only need a few decades!"

"If Feng Nuan has something to rely on, it must be in this area."

Yan Suiyun frowned and slowly said, "Destruction before construction? Failure before success? Or... a phoenix-like rebirth? Or... some other possibility?"

"Heaven-sent...Heaven-sent..."

Under Fang Che's watchful gaze, Yan Suiyun frowned deeply and pondered for a full quarter of an hour.

He kept muttering the words "divinely bestowed" to himself.

Then he finally looked up at Fang Che and said, "Night Demon, the main court is now the safest place for Feng Nuan. Even if he undergoes countless transformations, he can only stay in the main court. If he leaves the main court, even if he is the son of a god, he will surely die."

"No matter how he changes, he is still Feng Nuan; apart from the main court, no one else dares to take him!"

"So even if he completes the transformation, if he wants to utilize his talents, he can only do so in the main court in the early stages."

"Unless he becomes invincible one day... but with your talent and future prospects, you're more than capable of crushing him!"

Therefore, there is nothing to worry about.

"Feng Nuan said something very true: If Feng Han had been like you back then, he would have been extremely loyal to Feng Han, even becoming a loyal dog behind his back forever!"

"Feng Nuan is an extreme admirer of strength, and that's true."

"Actually, Feng Nuan's personality and abilities are well-suited for the role of 'Under One Person'!"

Yan Suiyun frowned and said softly, "To rule the world and determine destiny, he may have the ambition, but he lacks the courage. Therefore, it won't work!"

"Night Demon!"

Yan Suiyun smiled and said, "Or, you could try to truly win over Feng Nuan and make him work for you! Make him your true right-hand man."

Fang Che hesitated for a moment: "This kind of character... even my own elder brother and nephew... how dare I use him?"

Yan Suiyun frowned and said, "You're being biased again."

He paused for a moment: "You used his abilities, not his character. No matter how loyal he is, he's not the kind of person who would risk his life for someone else!"

"As for the Feng family's situation... if you insist on saying it's his fate, that's fine. If you blame Feng Han, that's also acceptable! After all, the cause was Feng Han's inaction. The affairs of large families are very complicated; if you simply judge them by character..."

Yan Suiyun chuckled: "In the whole world, how many people can truly be of use?"
