Chapter 1448 Yan Nan's Wrath, Yin Demon Reports the Crime [Part Two]

Yannan Study.

Just like the day before yesterday.

This time, Yan Nan didn't let Feng Du take the seat of honor; instead, she naturally took the first seat herself.

"Suiyun, make tea!"

Yan Nan gave the order, saying calmly, "Even if the Heavenly Centipede God comes down, it won't stop us brothers from having a few sips of tea before we die. What's the rush?"

"Everyone sit down!"

Yan Suiyun was brewing tea, and the aroma of tea soon filled the study.

Yan Nan calmly said, "I still remember the most dangerous moment for the Weiwo Zhengjiao sect back then, which was before the sect was established. Fengyunqi, the Ten Directions Inspector, led thirteen sects of the Jianghu, as well as the then-powerful Fengyan Eighteen Heavenly Kings and Fengyuxue masters, to besiege the Weiwo Zhengjiao sect!"

"Even with my brother's strength at that time, he couldn't have withstood such a large-scale attack!"

"Wouldn't it have been much more dangerous back then than now?"

Yan Nan smiled and said leisurely, "And the result? So what?"

"Having not experienced any major storms for over ten thousand years, today is... hehe..."

Yan Nan laughed, "Even Third Brother is here to oversee things! What's the panic?"

Immediately, all the brothers relaxed and laughed.

Feng Du laughed and said, "Let me tell you a joke that others might not understand but we know ourselves. That is, I ask you, how many people are there in the Ten Directions Oversight?"

Immediately, everyone smiled with a bittersweet nostalgia.

This joke is equivalent to asking how many leaders the Sovereign Church has!

It is indeed a joke belonging only to the Ten Directions Surveillance and the Sole Righteous Sect.

"The Ten Directions Oversight... By the time it was finally formed, there were a total of eighteen people, including those who were alive and those who had died! The Ten Directions Oversight was also constantly being eliminated, killed in battle, and replenished."

"When the True Sect of Only Me finally took shape, there were a total of eighteen people, including those who died and those who lived! However, the world only knows that the True Sect of Only Me has ten people: one Grand Master and nine Deputy Grand Masters!"

"The Ten Directions Oversight finally took shape, with ten remaining. The True Sect of Our Own ultimately took shape, also with... ten remaining."

"And the original number was eighteen."

"And the reason why the Eighteen Heavenly Kings were formed was because of this."

"Eighteen was a number widely considered auspicious for success at the time. No one knows who came to this conclusion, but it was later discovered that eighteen was actually a number cursed by heaven!"

"No one is eighteen; everyone survives to the end!"

Feng Du smiled bitterly: "When Yan Nan talked about what happened before today, I suddenly remembered this story that belongs only to us... and the numbers."

The brothers hung their heads.

They all feel like fleeting clouds in one's heart, drifting by.

The inexplicable emotions I felt in the interrogation room just now suddenly seemed to dissipate.

As cups of tea were served, all ten people were already quite relaxed.

Feng Du sighed and said, "Fifth brother, I only realized today that you are indeed more suitable to lead the sect than I am."

Yan Nan glanced sideways and sneered, "Third Brother! Do you really need to sigh about such a universally acknowledged fact?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Bi Changhong, Bai Jing, and the others burst into laughter.

Feng Du shouted, "You can't speak unless you step on your third brother, huh?!"

In laughter.

Amidst the relaxed atmosphere, Yan Nan smiled and asked, "What exactly happened? I felt like the sky was falling just now. Was it that serious?"

Bai Jing smiled bitterly: "It's not just your feeling, it's that the sky is really about to collapse."

Feng Du smiled wryly, "Everything is in Sui Yun's interrogation records. Take your time to look at them. No rush!"

Yan Nan smiled: "It seems this is quite a big deal."

He took the interrogation record and read it word by word.

Feng Du and the others, on the other hand, felt relaxed and waited while drinking tea.

Yan Nan's attitude put everyone at ease, and they all felt: So what if they are all their descendants? Even if they are descendants of the nine great families, so what?

Isn't it just a mere Weasel Cult?

They're just a bunch of brats, surely we can handle them? To put it bluntly, we were the ones who shot them down back then, and they've already turned the world upside down.

However, Yan Nan's eyebrows trembled slightly as she flipped through the files.

He had anticipated that it would be serious.

But I really didn't expect it to be this serious.

He did his best to control himself and prevented himself from smashing the study.

After all, he acted too high-class just now, so it wouldn't make sense for him to suddenly fly into a rage now.

But what the hell is this? What the hell is it?!

So the Divine Weasel Cult was actually supported by the Sovereign Righteous Sect? And all the members of the Divine Weasel Cult are members of the Sovereign Righteous Sect?!
Is there nothing else going on?
Forget about guardians, they don't even have any martial arts factions!
Is it all about eating and belonging to the "I am the only true religion"?
And these guys... are born from the Church of the Only Way!
That's fucking amazing!
I painstakingly raised and nurtured them, taught them all sorts of skills, and they ate my food, drank my water, wore my clothes, learned my skills... Everything they had was mine!
Then they turned around and came to kill me?
They'll stop at nothing to poach talent! They'll assassinate anyone who will do it! They'll frame you with every malicious intent imaginable!

And even now they are still living off the resources of the Solipsist Church!

In the future, as long as they are not completely eliminated, they will continue to live off the resources of the Sovereign Church!

Then deal with the Sovereign Church!

It's a very obvious principle.

This has nothing to do with anyone else. In the end, this is just an internal strife within the righteous sect!
Yan Nan looked down, her eyes turning blue.

when.

A soft sound.

Yan Suiyun picked up the tea in front of Yan Nan and poured it out, then replaced it with a steaming hot cup.

Yan Nan's almost explosive anger was instantly suppressed.

He took a deep breath, raised his head with a smile, waved the file in his hand, and said calmly, "That's it?"

Feng Du and the others were all shocked.

Yan Nan was surprisingly calm!

Moreover, his tone was nonchalant and dismissive.

He really wasn't angry?

This... is a little scary!

"Is this...is this not enough?" Bai Jing asked, staring wide-eyed.

"Is this all you can't handle?"

Yan Nan glanced at his brothers with disdain, sitting firmly, and tapped the files on the table lightly with his fingers: "It was indeed unexpected, and it is indeed something to be angry about, but... it's not like the sky is falling, is it?"

Feng Du's facial muscles twitched.

He looked at Yan Nan in disbelief.

He absolutely refused to believe that Yan Nan's manners could be so much better than his own!

But no matter how you look at it, Yan Nan always appears calm, natural, and confident.

There was even a hint of a cold smile in his eyes.

"Fifth brother, what do you think...?" Feng Du asked.

"I was definitely furious. I was very angry too!"

Yan Nan smiled and said, "However, the strength of the Divine Weasel Sect is still insignificant compared to the Righteous Sect! They're just a bunch of little devils who act against the natural order. They can be wiped out and that's it. Although they are all your own descendants, so many years have passed. Your kinship won't still be there, will it? Let me tell you in advance, even if it is, it's useless!"

All the brothers answered in unison, "Yes."

I felt an indescribable admiration.

Fifth Brother is indeed Fifth Brother! He's so composed!
As expected of the pillar of our righteous sect!

Yan Nan calmly said, "Besides, before, when we dealt with the Divine Weasel Sect, we were somewhat without a target and didn't know where to start. But now, isn't the clue clear? Look at how impatient you all are!"

The brothers were ashamed: "Fifth Brother is wise."

Yan Nan stood up with his hands behind his back: "Every bad thing contains a good thing. Just like this matter, although it is serious and hard to accept, it may not be a bad opportunity for our righteous sect to set things right and make a tough decision!"

"Wouldn't it be the best thing to use this opportunity to thoroughly clean up the entire church?"

"Furthermore, although these members of the Divine Weasel Cult became geniuses after joining, what use were they when they stayed with the True Self Cult? Weren't they still just a bunch of good-for-nothings?"

"Since they are useless, what harm is there in killing them?"

The brothers were completely convinced and nodded repeatedly.

"Everyone, get ready, calm down, and then each of you should come up with an action plan."

Yan Nan said, "Everyone's thinking is a mess right now. Let's split up and clear our heads. However, this matter is under a gag order. If it leaks... you'll know what to do!"

"Yes."

"It's all gone."

Yan Nan waved goodbye.

Everyone stood up, looked at Yan Nan with admiration, and walked out.

Yan Nan suddenly frowned: "Bi Changhong! Chen Gu! What's going on between you two?"

Bi Changhong and Chen Gu: "???"

Yan Nan's face had turned a little purple. He kicked the two deputy leaders to the ground with two loud thuds, kicking them repeatedly as he cursed, "Brothers, now that we've finished our business, we should step out with our left foot first. Why did you two step out with your right foot first?"

Bi Changhong Chen Gu: "..."

While continuing to beat him, Yan Nan said, "Your fifth brother isn't an unreasonable person! But the fact that you two stepped on my right foot first clearly shows that you look down on me!"

He then brandished a whip: "Don't blame me for using my elder brother's family discipline!"

So he raised the whip: "I'm not..."

Bi Changhong and Chen Gu screamed, "Ahhh... Fifth Brother... Stop making excuses, just hit him..."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Nan's whip really came down, whistling through the air: "How dare you disregard your elder brother's family rules!"

The others stood by, saying, "..."

Feng Du looked up at the sky, his face as red as a jujube, pretending not to see anything, and quickly walked out while looking up at the sky.

The others rolled their eyes and slipped away!
They really thought Fifth Brother was keeping his composure? Tsk... Bi Changhong and Chen Gu are truly pitiful.

The reason for getting beaten up is truly unbelievable...

……

noon.

Chen Xi walked out of the presiding judge's hall with a pale face.

Five games!
completely annihilated!

And that bastard Night Demon actually won't allow anyone to admit defeat!
We must play until the very end!

In two of those games, they were completely wiped out by the Dragon!
Chen Xi was completely dumbfounded: When did Night Demon's chess become so powerful?

The reason was that as soon as he entered, the Night Demon asked him one question: "Why are you here?"

Chen Xi snorted and said, "You just got back, why can't I come?"

How did you know I just got back?

"You always refused when I asked you to play chess before! You never even showed your face in person, so you must have been using a stand-in!"

Chen Xi said matter-of-factly, "Given our relationship, and the fact that you're such a good chess player, why would you refuse to see me?"

It turned out to be the case.

That actually makes a lot of sense!

So Fang Che brought out his best skills to play against Chen Xi.

Thunderbolts roared! Lightning crashed down!
Pressing relentlessly, ambushing from all sides, and achieving complete victory!
Throughout the entire match, Chenxi could only defend.

Keep crushing it, crushing it, crushing it into slag, crushing it into powder...

These five games completely shattered Chen Xi's Dao heart. Fang Che pointed at his nose arrogantly and said, "From now on, come find me to play chess whenever you have free time! It's been so long since I've had a good game!"

Finally, he found the joy of being alone. Chen Xi, his face ashen, fled in disarray.

So you come to play chess with me all the time? Let's play a few rounds!
You must be out of your mind!
Lao Tzu has now completely closed his heart and locked away his love for the way of chess!
I'm giving it up! I'll never play chess again in my life... It's too damn humiliating...

I never imagined I could lose so badly in the game of Go, it's simply...

It wasn't until he returned to the patrol hall that Chen Xi secretly hid in his study, coughed up blood, and muttered, "Damn it..."

From the moment Fang Che began practicing his skills on the eaves, Feng Nuan silently observed and watched from the courtyard of the main hall.

mused.

After Fang Che finished his cultivation and returned home, Feng Nuan also went back to her room, where she remained silent and lost in thought.

His brows were furrowed.

There was hesitation and uncertainty in his eyes.

"Night Demon, can you really protect me?"

"The Feng family has been neglecting me for so long, it seems? Feng Yun... does he have such a magnanimous heart?"

"What will the future hold...?"

He thought about it for the entire morning.

It wasn't until they looked through the window that they saw Chen Xi and his men leave the main hall like defeated roosters.

Feng Nuan is still a bit unsure.

But he finally stood up, wanting to go find Night Demon.

Just as I was thinking about how to speak, I felt a chilling aura in the air, an imposing presence like a mountain.

A sinister atmosphere filled the sky.

The Yin Demon descended upon the main hall, accompanied by a chilling wind.

Then, amidst the swirling fragrance, the succubus followed behind the demon and arrived at the main trial hall.

A figure flashed by.

The tall and slender Heavenly King Xiao Ning appeared in Fei's presence: "Fourth Brother, Seventh Sister? What brings you here?"

Back then, Yin Mo and the others had a small group ranking in the Dharma Protector Hall. Yin Mo was ranked fourth, Mei Mo was ranked seventh, and Sun Wutian was the leader.

Duan Xiyang was not included in this ranking.

Of course, Ning Zaifei wasn't included, but that didn't stop him from following the crowd and calling it that.

really.

The titles "Fourth Brother" and "Seventh Sister" evoked a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, mixed feelings) from both the succubus and the demon. The demon, whose face was usually gloomy, gave a rare smile and said, "We've come to report a crime."

"Report a crime?"

Ning Zaifei's face twitched: "Why do you two need to report a case? Why don't you just go and do what you need to do?"

"Are you kidding me?!"

The demon retorted rudely, "If you could solve it yourself, wouldn't you have done it long ago? Why would you need to report it to the police?"

Ning Zaifei could only nod: "Should we report this to Lord Night Demon?"

"If I ask you to report a case, can you handle it?"

The demon stared wide-eyed and asked.

Ning Zaifei's face twisted again: "I'll inform the lord."

"Do we still need to issue a notification?"

The evil spirits are dissatisfied.

The succubus hurriedly said, "Go ahead and inform them. We'll wait a while."

Watching Ning Zaifei leave, the succubus grabbed the demon and whispered, "You say you don't know anything, so what are you being so arrogant about? This isn't just any other place!"

The demon was a little confused and asked telepathically, "What's the difference?"

"Hehe... You'll find out the difference later. Anyway, just listen to me and you won't go wrong."

The succubus rolled her eyes.

Ning Zaifei then stepped out, only to see Lord Night Demon also coming out to greet him warmly: "Senior Mei, Senior Yin...please come in quickly, the arrival of these two great seniors is an honor to the Presiding Judge's Hall..."

"Night Demon, you look more and more dashing than ever."

The succubus laughed heartily, clearly showing a very close relationship with the Night Demon.

The demon was puzzled. When did you two become so familiar?
He smiled and nodded, then followed them inside. He even made a conscious effort to conceal his sinister aura.

"You helped me revive last time, and now I see you making another great contribution to the Dragon God Temple..."

The demons have also become able to speak.

"Haha... It's all thanks to the protection of you seniors... Otherwise, how could I dare to be so presumptuous..."

Fang Che's efficient tea-making was both respectful and polite, and subtly, he also displayed the airs of a presiding judge.

The demon even presented a spatial ring: "Your help in reviving me last time was a great favor, and I haven't had a chance to express my gratitude until now..."

The demon has actually started sending gifts.

It was clearly a reminder from the succubus.

Fang Che laughed heartily: "Senior Yin, you are too kind. I was just following orders. You are too kind to me."

Despite his initial reluctance, he accepted the ring, saying, "I'm so sorry, hahaha..."

The succubus almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Then he brought up the matter of reporting the case: "...several thousand years ago, he was murdered in the Forest of Ten Thousand Spirits, besieged and killed by the guardians...and there are also poison demons, dream demons, water demons, etc...a case needs to be reported, a case needs to be opened for investigation...to get justice..." and so on.

Fang Che suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead, and took out the communication jade to communicate with the Five Spirit Gu: "I need to report this matter to the Ancestral Master."

Then the demon remembered: "Right, right, Boss Sun is still your ancestor!"

It immediately felt much more welcoming.

Fang Che had always found this strange: Night Demon was Sun Wutian's successor, while Yin Demon and Succubus were Sun Wutian's best brother and sister back then.

However, neither of them ever treated Night Demon differently because Night Demon was the successor of their elder brother!

They showed absolutely no performance!

Fang Che had no idea why this was happening.
Logically speaking, this bond of kinship should exist no matter what, right?
But this test immediately revealed its true nature.

Fang Che suddenly realized: to use the universal standards of the Guardians to judge the demon of the Sovereign Cult was simply insane.

Just like now, if it weren't for needing to rely on the Night Demon to investigate the case, the Shadow Demon would still not show any reaction to the so-called incense offerings and resurrection grace...

But this did not diminish his respect for Sun Wutian!

But one sentence is missing: Sun Wutian's entrustment.

In the simplest terms: the incense offerings are for Sun Wutian!

"Ancestor, today Senior Yin Demon and Senior Succubus came to my main trial hall to report a case regarding your ambush and killing in the Forest of Ten Thousand Spirits thousands of years ago, and... this matter was also ordered to be investigated by Deputy Grand Master Yan..."

Sun Wutian immediately replied: "Finally starting?"

Then he asked, "Do you need me to go back?"

Before Fang Che could reply, Sun Wutian sent another message: "Tell Yin Mo that this grudge can be left unresolved, but if anything happens to you, I'll snap your neck!"

Fang Che looked at the Yin Demon with a conflicted expression: "The Ancestor is speaking to you..."

The demon leaned closer to take a look, then burst into laughter, saying, "Tell Boss Sun, I've got this covered!"

Then, he couldn't help but exchange a glance with the succubus.

Then, the way he looked at Night Demon changed.

Because the relationship has been straightened out, and the entrustment has been made, and the status has been clarified.

This is what inheritance is all about!

The difference between the people on the side of the Righteous Sect and those on the side of the Guardians is that they are the most practical and do not hide anything: Sun Wutian did not say that I helped you, and you did not tell Sun Wutian, so wouldn't I have helped you for nothing?
It's not like I'm obligated to do it.

I know you are a descendant of Sun Wutian, but since Sun Wutian didn't mention me, I didn't know!
Want my help but don't want to owe me a favor? You expect me to do it all myself? There's no such logic in this world!

They would risk their lives alongside Sun Wutian, but not in this kind of situation.

The guardian's response was: "Oh, you're a descendant of so-and-so. As a friend and peer of so-and-so, of course I should take care of you."

This doesn't need to be said by the person in question.

Vastly different lifestyles and social structures.

Fang Che couldn't help but think of Feng Du. Feng Du's actions were quite different from those of the Yin Demon...

Suppressing his emotions, he stood up and said to the door, "Call Feng Nuan here!"

The warming effect appeared almost immediately.

"grown ups."

"Yes, the two seniors have come to report a case involving many old and complicated matters. You will be responsible for recording them and making sure to record them as completely as possible."

"Yes."

"This matter is top secret!"

"Yes."

The matter was entrusted to Feng Nuan, and the Yin Demon and the Succubus followed Feng Nuan to record it.

Ning Zaifei slipped in and rearranged the soundproof barrier.

"grown ups."

"What's the current situation in Shenjing? How far have the young masters gone in their 'cultivation of Gu'? And any other matters, tell me about them."

"it is good."

Ning Zaifei began his introduction.

the other side.

Sun Wutian was itching to get back to work and sent a message to Yan Nan: "Is the investigation into Yin Mo and his group underway? Do you need me to go back?"

Yan Nan was already annoyed and said irritably, "Night Demon is back, and now you, his substitute, want to come back too? Do you think this is appropriate?!"

"I'm worried that the investigation won't go any further..." the old devil said sheepishly.

"Don't worry, we might not have been able to investigate before, but now... we'll definitely be able to."

Yan Nan said in a deep voice, "Just wait patiently. If we need your help, we'll send you a message immediately."

"it is good."

"Wu Tian!"

Yan Nan sighed, "Our righteous sect is now facing an unprecedented crisis. I'm afraid it will be a situation that even I can't predict or control. This time, I might really have the opportunity to use your Heaven-Hateing Blade."

"understood!"

Sun Wutian replied in a deep voice, "The Heaven-Hating Blade has been thirsting for it for far too long."

Yan Nan sighed.

Communication was cut off.

He then left the study and went to the underground secret hall.

All my brothers are here.

After they all understood the situation, they all returned to this place.

"Top secret operation during this period. Begin the covert investigation first!"

"First step, seal off the house!"

Feng Du pulled out a thick list.

"The complete list of all the dead members of the Feng family is here. Two million seven hundred thousand are highlighted..."

Feng Du's face was contorted: "How can we investigate so many people!?"

“I had Suiyun’s people analyze the list first. What you call the key list is just your opinion; the ones circled by Suiyun are the key ones.”

Yan Nan said, "Until the investigation is completed, not even a ripple is allowed on the surface of our righteous sect!"

"Investigate the dead first, and once you've thoroughly investigated the dead, then investigate the living!"
