Lord of the night.

Chapter 1449 Feng Yun's Pain! [Two-in-One]

That afternoon.

On the main street in front of the courtroom, a group of dozens of people slowly approached.

In the center was a palanquin with a bright yellow canopy, exuding nobility.

Feng Yun sat atop it, radiating light as he gracefully approached.

It has been a long time since the carriage of the First Prince of the Righteous Sect has traveled so openly in the capital.

After all, Feng Yun's cultivation level has risen daily, and he has now joined the ranks of top experts, so he has even less need for such flashy and impractical things.

But today, he actually came sitting there so openly.

Everyone sensed something was amiss.

This is a gesture: Young Master Feng Yun has come here as the "Number One Young Master, Number One Leader, and Leading Figure of the Young Generation of the Righteous Sect".

Instead of coming as simply the 'eldest son of the Feng family'.

This demonstrates the importance attached to the matter and shows an attitude, declaring to the entire capital: I, Feng Yun, have come to visit the Night Demon!

The group swaggered through the city, walking quickly in deserted areas and slowly in crowded places.

This made Yan Suiyun sigh in frustration: she had just suggested that her son-in-law subdue Feng Nuan and sever ties with Feng Yun from the outside world. And this was the result of Feng Yun's attitude.

It's obvious they're not giving you a chance to cut ties.

"Little beast!"

Yan Suiyun cursed angrily.

No wonder Night Demon didn't say a word when I gave him this idea; it turns out he was unwilling.

Yan Suiyun was absolutely certain that this wasn't Feng Yun's own idea; it was definitely something Ye Mo and Feng Yun had planned together! Ye Mo explained his arrangements, and then Feng Yun offered his suggestion: "Like this, and like this..."

That must be it!
"You brothers can handle it yourselves, I'm not going to interfere."

Yan Suiyun huffed and puffed, ignoring the situation. He'd grown wings; he couldn't be controlled anymore. Let him do whatever he wanted.

Before Feng Yun even arrived at the main trial hall, the news had already spread throughout the capital.

Upon arriving at the main courtroom, Feng Yun stepped down from his seat, stood outside, and gazed at the scenery with his hands behind his back.

Then, as everyone here could see, the presiding judge's hall unfurled its ceremonial guard with a clatter, and Lord Night Demon solemnly came out to greet him: "Hahaha...Young Master Yun!"

"Hahaha... Night Demon!"

"Hahaha... Young Master Yun is as dashing as ever!"

"Night Demon, how have you been? Hahaha..."

The two laughed heartily and warmly, holding hands tightly and walking arm in arm, showing their affection!
They walked together into the presiding judge's hall.

Feng Yun's entourage was then warmly welcomed inside.

"Hold a grand banquet!"

Lord Night Demon was in high spirits, his voice carrying far and wide: "Today, Young Master Yun and I will drink until we drop!"

Feng Yun's voice: "Brothers reunited, I am overjoyed! Tonight, I will have a drinking contest with Night Demon! Night Demon, do you dare!?"

"What's there to be afraid of?! Bring it on!"

Not to be outdone, Lord Night Demon loudly ordered, "Kill the top-tier spirit beast, the Plague Goat, that I specially bought yesterday! Make sure to remove the plague sack, otherwise Young Master Feng Yun will get diarrhea from eating it and cause us trouble!"

"Hahaha...please!"

"Hahaha...please!"

Many experts outside couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement upon hearing this.

What a luxury.

This Plague Goat is a top-tier spirit beast, extremely difficult to capture. Although it is a goat, its attack power is very sharp. Especially after being attacked, if it is not able to withstand the attack, it will release a plague mist. Once this mist spreads, it is said that within a radius of a hundred miles, no matter how high one's cultivation level, everyone will get diarrhea!
However, its meat is exceptionally delicious and is an excellent ingredient for strengthening the body and replenishing vital energy!
The two entered the study with smiles on their faces.

Feng Yun sighed, looking at the arrangement of the study, and said, "Night Demon, the biggest embarrassment I've ever made in my life is right here."

"Ha ha……"

Fang Che sneered: "You brought this mess on yourself, you deserved it! But I'm completely innocent. Didn't I embarrass myself here too? You got drunk, fine, but you made me suffer a fate I'll never forget."

Feng Yun laughed heartily: "That's what you call good brothers sharing both good and bad times!"

"...You still have the nerve to say that? You were drunk and naked, and you were thrown in front of the eight vice-leaders... I still feel ashamed to face anyone when I think about that time."

Fang Che complained.

Feng Yun immediately grinned awkwardly and sighed, "It's fine for you to lose face without a care in the world, but what about me? I am the number one young master of the Righteous Sect. Can I afford to lose face?"

Fang Che was furious and said, "Your face is a face, but mine isn't?!"

"Hahaha……"

Feng Yun glared at him and said, "Is that your real face? How dare you say that?!"

Fang Che murmured, "A fake face is still a face..."

Feng Yun didn't want to talk to him anymore.

After sitting down and starting to chat, Feng Yun smiled and sighed, "Actually, if you want to take Feng Nuan in, then take her in. It doesn't matter if you cut ties openly. There's no need for us to put on this show. It makes me feel ashamed."

Fang Che's face twisted in disgust: "Young Master Feng! Do you have any conscience at all? Wasn't this your idea? I didn't want to act in the first place, okay? And now you're saying it was unnecessary for me?"

Feng Yun smiled bitterly: "Yes, but when the moment came, I suddenly felt ashamed..."

"Ha ha……"

Fang Che scoffed, "I never expected Young Master Feng Yun to have such an idol image to maintain... I'm truly sorry."

"If you keep being sarcastic, I'll hit you."

Feng Yun couldn't take it anymore. He rubbed his fists together, his eyes flashing with a fierce light: "Let me remind you, I am now the Holy Emperor!"

"Is a sage ruler so great?"

Fang Che glared, then immediately smiled politely and said, "Lord Yun, please calm down and have some tea."

Feng Yun arrogantly accepted the teacup and said haughtily, "I think you're quite a talent."

"Ha ha……"

Fang Che gave a forced smile.

Since you've brought up the sage ruler, can't I be less outstanding?

Feng Yun took out fine wine and food from his ring, and the two chatted and drank together.

After three rounds of drinking.

Feng Yuncai asked, "Why is there such a big commotion since you came back this time? It seems like something important has happened?"

"It's something big."

Fang Che didn't hide anything: "This time, I estimate our sect will suffer a major blow."

"Ok?"

Feng Yun was genuinely unaware of this matter and asked in bewilderment, "The ancestors are rarely seen these days. We've only heard news of the war, but nothing else."

"Vice Chief Leader Feng has issued a gag order."

Fang Che said, "But today, I specifically asked Vice Master Yan. After Vice Master Yan had someone investigate the final progress of the Gu breeding, he replied that it was fine to tell you."

Feng Yun frowned, his expression grave.

Just from this one sentence, you can tell that the situation is serious—because he told me this because he was quite satisfied with the final progress of raising the Gu.

What if you're not satisfied?

"It seems that Young Master Yun has made considerable progress in raising Gu over this period of time," Fang Che said with a smile.

"I didn't do anything. I just practiced my skills, fished, and cultivated my mind every day."

Feng Yun chuckled: "I barely made a move."

"Ok?"

"The prior preparations, the cooperation of my subordinates, and the constant influx of forces... are enough."

Feng Yun said casually, "Wu Di, Bai Ren, Bi Ren, Wu Xin, and so on... even the main young master and other second and third young masters... more than forty families have already fallen to my hands!"

"Among them, three of the young masters who participated died. Of the others, seven families were completely wiped out by my men; thirteen families had more than 60% of their forces killed; twelve families had half of their forces wiped out; and there were others who were coerced into surrendering..."

Feng Yun shook his head slightly: "It's so boring!"

"..."

Fang Che sighed, feeling bored.

This refers to Feng Yun's view on the ultimate goal of raising Gu to become a god.

This view is utterly insulting.

Among all the young masters of the righteous sect, none of them could even stir up any emotion in Feng Yun's hands!

"Is it really that weak?"

Fang Che frowned.

"They're not weak! They're not weak at all!"

Feng Yun corrected, "But... they have the same flaws: naivety, immaturity, stupidity, and arrogance."

He picked up his glass, downed it in one gulp, and gave a bitter laugh: "From all these people, I can't even find an assistant."

"Lord chicken and dog!"

"Vulnerable!"

"They are all experts at vying for profit, betraying each other, tripping each other up, and using underhanded tricks."

Feng Yun sneered: "Relying on family background, you act all high and mighty, but if you were to stand alone and form your own army... Heh, Night Demon, it's a good thing you didn't participate. If you had... you would probably have found it even more boring than I have."

"Their martial arts aptitude is top-notch, and they are not lacking in cunning and wisdom. But unfortunately, they have not used their cunning and wisdom in the right way."

"Currently, it's just Bai Ye, Yu Cheng, Chen Yun, Feng Xing, and a few others who are alright. But Bai Ye and Yu Cheng haven't opposed me, and Chen Yun has been operating from behind the scenes. The others..."

After drinking several glasses of wine, Feng Yun shook his head, looking dejected: "Greatly disappointed!"

Fang Che was utterly speechless.

He genuinely hadn't expected that Feng Yun would come to such a 'boring' conclusion about the ultimate goal of the righteous sect of raising Gu to become gods!

Even with so many people, they couldn't force Feng Yun to take action!

"Worse than Evergreen Snow? How much worse?"

Fang Che asked cautiously.

"He can't compare to Xue Changqing!"

Feng Yun shook his head.

"That's about the same as Yu Yang, Xue Yizun, Feng Tian, ​​etc... right?"

"It's not just a little bit off."

Feng Yun placed his hands on his knees and said calmly, "Night Demon, you are someone who has truly faced life and death."

Fang Che immediately understood Feng Yun's meaning!
"The protection here is excellent!"

Feng Yun sighed, "Shadow Guards and Soul Guards... Xue Changqing and the others simply don't have these! Do you understand? That's the difference!"

"Moreover, Xue Changqing and the others have been living on the brink of death since childhood! The training of the Guardians is far more ruthless than ours!"

"In the probing battles and trials between the two sides, it seemed that they were evenly matched, and only our righteous sect could hold an absolute numerical advantage! But... once it came to a life-or-death moment..."

Feng Yun chuckled: "Comparable to heaven and earth!"

"Those guardians have truly experienced life-or-death trials! They've truly faced nine deaths and one life!"

"We're doing simulations and games here," Fang Che said. "Having raised Gu to godhood so many times, isn't it still a life-or-death ordeal?"

"no the same!"

Feng Yun shook his head deeply: "It's too different!"

"How is it?" Fang Che frowned.

"You're not stupid! Why ask that question?"

Feng Yunwei said angrily, "In the plan to raise Gu to become a god, once you know Yan Beihan's identity, even if she stretched out her neck for you to kill, would you dare?! And that's how Wu Di and the others are; they can kill others, but others can't kill them! They wouldn't dare!"

Fang Che suddenly realized.

He judged others by his own standards and was wrong. Because, in his plan to raise Gu worms to become gods, Fang Che believed he was truly capable of killing!

But others are not yourself, so how can you dare to take action?
“This time I have no rivals, and my status is now unparalleled. Therefore, Vice Chief Master Yan will allow you to reveal your secrets to me.”

Feng Yun was extremely frustrated and said, "But... I'm very frustrated. I would rather have a narrow victory after a fierce battle than have such a crushing defeat."

Fang Che remained silent.

He now fully understood what Feng Yun was suffering from.

because……

Feng Yun immediately said what Fang Che wanted to say: "In this way, I will be even more tired than the strategist Dongfang in the future..."

As he said this, Feng Yun put on a mask of pain.

He picked up his wine glass, downed it in one gulp, and said with an expression of extreme pain, almost crying, "The other side has more than a dozen people, each of whom can stand alone. Although most of them are not commanders, they are all generals! And on my side, there is only one Night Demon."

"Yan Beihan is qualified to fight anyone and even gain the upper hand, but... he can't be used casually! He should only be used in emergencies..."

"Moreover, the people over there are obedient to orders, work together, watch out for each other, and spontaneously form a united front; even if I manage to subdue them all here, they still have their own agendas, and each one of them is always thinking of rebelling..."

As Feng Yun spoke, even his hair drooped down.

His straight back slowly bent down, and he gradually slumped onto the table, rubbing his face vigorously with both hands.

"Moreover, Chen Yun and Feng Xing haven't even used their trump cards yet..."

"Hey……"

Feng Yun let out a long sigh: "Although Strategist Dongfang is very tired, his subordinates are all obedient. Not only are they obedient, but there are also Xue Fuxiao, Rui Qianshan, Yu Tianqi, Feng Congrong, Yu Haoran, Bu Chou..."

"And the older generation also obeys his orders."

"If I were to take over... there would only be one Night Demon!"

"The deputy chief leaders won't listen to my orders, the chief protector, Chief Duan and others won't listen to my orders, and the protector hall under the Madman's Halberd... will only be able to work by coaxing people for a period of time."

"The next ten people could gather a hundred thousand schemes..."

"This comparison... makes me want to die!"

Feng Yun said painfully.

Fang Che was stunned: "...This, this...I suddenly feel very sorry for you..."

"I'm also deserving of sympathy..."

Feng Yun said painfully, "There are many geniuses! In terms of talent, they are completely superior to their ancestors! But... they have gone astray."

“The experience of fighting and dying may seem rich, but it is not real… rather, it is a kind of life-and-death experience in which the thought ‘I will not die’ is always in one’s mind.”

"What's the use of such life-or-death experiences?"

"But they all think they're seasoned veterans! They've developed absolute confidence and arrogance! Each of them believes they're in complete control and have no miscalculations."

"This ultimate attempt to raise Gu to godhood, with each faction forming its own army, has completely exposed this weakness!"

"Night Demons, this is even more terrifying and serious than a complete rabble!"

“I can dismantle a rabble with an iron fist… but these… if I touch even one of them, I’ll face a counterattack from all nine major families! Because… the rabbit mourns the fox’s death.”

"So I came to the presiding judge's hall this time for two reasons. First, I really have something to discuss. Second, I have no one to tell me these things. The reason I came in such a grand and arrogant manner is because I am truly... on cloud nine."

Feng Yun chuckled: "Acting like no one else is around!"

"Acting as if no one is around" is usually an arrogant phrase, but when Feng Yun says it now, he is actually feeling down because he truly is: no one is around!
"Use an iron fist and charge!"

Fang Che offered a suggestion in a deep voice.

Feng Yun chuckled: "If you had the strength to subdue the entire sect, I would dare to kill them all! Do you have that right now?"

Fang Che did not.

But he understood something: "So your high-profile and domineering arrival today is to announce something?"

Feng Yun smiled: "Oh?"

"My words are law, I am the only one who is supreme, my commands are obeyed without question, I rule the world!"

Fang Che laughed heartily.

But Feng Yun did not laugh. Instead, he said solemnly, "Night Demon, this is the only way I have to do in my desperate situation."

"clear."

Fang Che sighed.

Only Feng Yun understands Feng Yun's predicament; although I understand it, I cannot truly empathize with him.

However, given the current state of the young masters of the Sovereign Sect, Feng Yun's only option is to suppress them with high pressure in order to contend with the Guardians!
In future confrontations with the Guardians, any hint of rebellion will lead to unpredictable consequences.

"What exactly happened?" Feng Yun finally asked.

"The matter of the Divine Weasel Cult."

Fang Che revealed everything he knew.

These matters were an absolute secret to anyone, but Fang Che found out everything after the meeting over there.

Because he didn't know it wouldn't work.

He is another angle from which to approach the case!
It is essential to have full knowledge.

It was at that time that Yan Nan instructed that Feng Yun could be considered for participation.

Therefore, Fang Che specifically asked Yan Nan: Could you tell Feng Yun how much?

Yan Nan replied: Let me see the final form of the Gu-raising technique.

Then he replied: I can tell you everything.

But that's where the scope ends.

Fang Che then understood.

When this was told to Feng Yun, Feng Yun's reaction was as expected.

I was completely dumbfounded!

He stared at me for a long time without saying a word!
Feng Yun truly felt that his mind had suddenly gone blank.

How could this happen!
He had long suspected that the Divine Weasel Sect was not simple, and he also suspected that there must be a traitor in the Sole Righteous Sect; but he never expected that they were all traitors!

All!

The Divine Weasel Cult can be said to have been cultivated, supported, and funded by the Sovereign Cult.

And even now... and into the future, they continue to provide funding and support!

It's a sect within a sect of the Sovereign Church!

But they happen to be mortal enemies!
Feng Yun felt an urge to vomit blood and asked, "What did Yan Zu and the others say? Their reaction was quite strong, wasn't it?"

Fang Che glanced at him and said, "I don't know, why don't you go ask?"

"Do not ask."

Feng Yun shook his head repeatedly.

This is a trap; anyone who steps into it will die!

If I were to ask the old folks something while they were probably furious and vomiting blood, they would definitely beat me to death.

"Then let's discuss what to do next."

"At the same time, you also need to help me discuss what I should do in the future and what path I should take."

Feng Yun sighed, then felt somewhat relieved: "It's so good that you're back. I finally have someone to talk to. I was almost suffocating before."

As he spoke, he seemed rather pleased.

Fang Che: "So many of your subordinates and allies, none of them have said anything?"

"That's different! Completely different!"

Feng Yun shook his head: "A man's life must present countless faces: one to his elders, one to his family, one to his wife, one to his siblings, one to his subordinates, one to his enemies, one to his friends, and one to his brothers..."

"Life is incomplete without one aspect."

"In my position, there are many facets that require a fixed image."

Feng Yun raised his glass, his voice tinged with bitterness: "I'm so tired."

He downed his drink in one gulp and said softly, "Although I don't regret it, I am somewhat annoyed."

Fang Che raised his glass: "I've already started making moves on my end. I need your assistance! Please hurry up and finish this final stage of the breeding operation."

Feng Yun frowned: "I've been keeping them around to play mind games... It seems we need to detonate them as soon as possible."

The True Cult of My Own is under complete lockdown in the capital!

The news brought back by Feng Du that a full-scale war was about to break out had already spread.

Therefore, this round of strict military preparedness measures is entirely reasonable.

All departments are on high alert!
All personnel on leave or on duty outside the area are to be recalled!
All war-related departments will conduct roll call once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once more in the evening!
The military logistics departments were extremely busy.

Even the highest-ranking officials and several military and political affairs departments had no idea that a meticulous and thorough investigation was being conducted in an unknown location in Shenjing!

Even more shockingly, countless tombs of powerful families were secretly exhumed to examine the corpses...

And this work was done entirely by the henchmen of several deputy leaders!

Besides the assassins, there was also Yan Suiyun's secret team.

We didn't use any other outside personnel!
Meanwhile, under the pretext of "all family members returning home to prepare for war," the various families kept recalling their members. First, they silently checked the Five Elemental Gu, thus eliminating some of the suspects who still possessed the Five Elemental Gu...

Meanwhile, starting from the Dharma Protector Hall, a meticulous and thorough investigation is underway into events from three thousand years ago.

What you came into contact with, what you heard, what you offended, what unusual things happened... Even though it was a long time ago, with several people comparing and reminding you, the vague or lost memories will often reappear.

They slowly pieced together fragments of information.

It extends outwards little by little, meticulously.

The Poison Demon, who had been obsessed with cultivation for many years, conducted secret investigations time and again.

Everything was done in secret.

The True Church is like a calm sea, its surface serene and still, but beneath its surface, a cataclysmic tsunami is brewing...

Guardian side.

They have already begun preparing for war with everyone united in their efforts!

At Dongfang San San Study Room.

Only Xue Wu and Dongfang San San were present, and Xue Wu's expression was quite serious.

"San San, I want to ask you a question."

Xue Wu asked directly, "Regarding the Night Demon of the Sovereign Cult, how much did you notice about that young man? To what extent?"
