Chapter 1462 An Awkward Scene Beyond the Shura Field [Part Two]

In a fit of frustration and rage, Yan Nan beat up Yu Hanyan.

Yu Hanyan was furious but dared not speak out. Even after being beaten up, she still didn't understand what law she had broken!

How did I offend you?

Yu Hanyan felt extremely wronged.

"Hehe...you have a fine descendant!"

Yan Nan was very unhappy. Beating Yu Hanyan was definitely not as satisfying as beating Ye Mo. It hurt my hands!

"The God of Wind?!"

Yu Hanyan shuddered: "Didn't this girl just break through to the Saint King realm? What trouble has she gotten into this time? Watma, go and kill her right now!"

"It has nothing to do with the God of Wind Control."

Yan Nan snorted and said, "You know about Yu Xu, right?"

"Yuxu?"

Yu Hanyan was bewildered: "Who is this?"

"Hold!"

Yan Nan couldn't hold back and beat Yu Hanyan again: "Stop playing dumb with me! You were the one who put Sui Yun first when we were selecting the three biggest slackers!"

Yu Hanyan grinned: "Sui Yun is of a higher generation... so he has to be number one."

"Do you remember Yu Xu?" Yan Nan clenched his fist, as big as a large bowl, and waved it in front of Yu Hanyan's eyes.

"I remember now! Fifth Brother..."

Yu Hanyan dared not play dumb any longer: "Didn't he go undercover with the Guardians?"

boom!
Unable to contain himself any longer, Yan Nan punched Yu Hanyan in the eye socket.

Yu Hanyan screamed and fell backward to the ground.

How dare you say that!

Yan Nan was so angry that smoke was practically rising from his head.

Yu Hanyan also felt wronged. The matter of Yu Xu has been over for so many years, why bring it up again?

Yan Nan then drank tea at Yu Hanyan's place, and the two old brothers chatted for a while before going to check on the situation at the Poison Demon's place. He found that Feng Du was also there, studying the poison in the Poison Demon's place.

This poison, too, was found in the Poison Demon's consciousness space to be clusters of extremely dense black clouds.

"The poisons are different, but their basic properties are the same."

Feng Du sighed.

Look at the paralyzed poison demon, there's nothing they can do.

Do you remember the antidote you took?

"Have."

The Poison Demon began by recounting the antidotes he had been taking at the beginning, listing as many as forty or fifty different kinds. Then he described in detail how he was treated each time afterward.

"The difference in my case is that I didn't realize I was poisoned at first. By the time I did, I couldn't move my lower body."

The Poison Demon said, "We only investigated after we were unable to move, and only then did we discover the anomaly in the divine sense space. We didn't notice it at all when we used our divine sense normally."

"In all these years, there has never been a poison that originated from the spiritual consciousness space. My poison should be the first of its kind in history!"

The Poison Demon sighed, "In the end, he realized that rare and precious herbs could enhance the effects of poison, but it was too late to reverse the situation."

Feng Du frowned deeply.

The Poison Demon is right.

I've never even heard of this kind of poison before, how can I cure it?
Yan Nan and Feng Du stayed with the Poison Demon for a long time to study it.

Then I received a message from Yan Suiyun.

"Yu Xu has replied. Currently, at the Guardian Headquarters... the Earthly Venerable is receiving treatment from Feng Yunqi... Top secret. The Eastern Strategist is using this matter, along with our own anxiety, to launch a massive crackdown on traitors..."

Yan Nan sighed.

He ordered a halt to the intelligence gathering efforts over there.

Yan Suiyun's message: "Feng Yunqi is healing Di Zun's injuries. Fang Che's wife, that Ye Meng, isn't she Feng Yunqi's disciple? There's a family dinner tonight..."

Yan Nan's eyes lit up.

Then, upon seeing the words "Fang Che's wife, Ye Meng," I was speechless once again.

I'm going home tonight!

Then Yan Nan took her leave: "It's already afternoon, and there's a family dinner tonight. I'll be going now."

Feng Du looked up: "A family dinner? I'll go too."

Yan Nan: "It's a family banquet, what are you going there for?"

Feng Du: "I'm going to play chess."

"..."

Yan Nan, completely disoriented, exclaimed, "Your genius Feng Xue is dying! And you still have the mind to play chess?!"

Feng Du said, "After doing our best, of course we still need to play chess."

"...Don't come. I have other things to do besides the family dinner."

Yan Nan refused with a dark expression.

Feng Du rolled his eyes at him. Something must be wrong with Fifth Brother!

They won't let me go!

In the afternoon, Yan Beihan left the main courtroom.

Then Lord Night Demon dealt with the main court affairs for half the afternoon, and then rummaged through his spatial ring.

This time, I don't need to prepare too many or too expensive gifts for the family dinner.

He picked out some inexpensive island specialties, and then instructed Black Mist to buy some seasonal fruits.

And they even publicized it quite a bit.

"I'm going to Yan Family Manor for dinner tonight, and I'll also take the opportunity to report to Vice Chief Master Yan."

Everyone in the presiding hall looked at Lord Night Demon with envy.

"My lord is mighty!"

"We can actually have dinner at the Yan Family Manor!"

"Reporting to work at the Yan Family Manor, oh my god!"

"He is very much liked by Vice Chief Leader Yan."

"..."

Lord Night Demon looked miserable: "You don't know... Every time Vice Chief Leader Yan sees me, he beats me up after only a few words... It really hurts."

"I've only been back for a few days, and Vice Chief Master Yan has already beaten me three times! I probably won't escape it tonight either. I'm sure I'll get another beating."

"Hey……"

Lord Night Demon shook his head, sighed, and lamented his misfortune.

Then: "Protector Ning, I'll have to trouble you to take me to the Yan Family Manor, lest I get killed on the way..."

"Yes."

Ning Zaifei, carrying his belongings, strolled away with Lord Night Demon.

Before leaving, Lord Night Demon sighed, "I hope this time, Vice Chief Master Yan will only use punches and kicks, and please don't use a whip on me... I can't take it, I can't take it..."

Lord Night Demon is gone.

Everyone in the presiding judge's hall had a fascinating expression on their face.

Our superiors are so fond of us!
How much does Vice Chief Cult Leader Yan like Lord Night Demon to beat him up every day?

Moreover, since Lord Night Demon has said so, the meaning is very clear: this matter does not need to be kept secret, pass it on to me!

The news spread throughout the capital!

As a result, Zhou Changchun, Black Wind, Black Mist, and others began to spread.

That evening... people from the main court also began accepting banquets at various restaurants in the capital.

Zhou Changchun couldn't eat anymore after eating and drinking for a while. He sighed, "I'm having a great time eating and drinking here, but my poor father is being beaten up by Vice Chief Yan at the Yan Family Manor. I don't even know if he's eaten yet. Every time I think about it, my heart aches..."

The guests: "..."

Someone asked cautiously, "Lord Night Demon... what's wrong?"

"Sigh... Vice Master Yan sent Lord Night Demon to the Yan family manor banquet, but every time Lord Night Demon goes, Vice Master Yan beats and scolds him... The Lord is so pitiful..."

Everyone was speechless!
This is... so this guy was just showing off!
They went to great lengths to praise how their presiding judge was favored by the higher-ups.

I'm truly impressed...

Fang Che took the beautifully wrapped gift from Ning Zaifei: "You go back first, I'll send you a message when I leave here."

"Yes, my lord."

Lord Night Demon leisurely entered the Yan Family Manor.

Ning Zaifei's eyes were filled with excitement.

Lord Night Demon is indeed rising through the ranks... Now he can freely enter and leave the Yan Family Manor. His future is incredibly bright.

Yan Beihan came out and welcomed Fang Che inside.

Sure enough, the first stop was the study.

However, to Fang Che's surprise...

Yan Nan sat at the head of the table with a dark face and glaring eyes, looking like she was about to kill someone.

Yan Suiyun sat to the side with a dark face and glaring eyes, looking like she was about to hit someone.

Fang Che was a little confused.

I was invited to a family dinner... Shouldn't the atmosphere be cheerful? Why is it like this...?

Then it dawned on me: Oh, I'm still looking like Night Demon, how ugly!
He quickly transformed into Fang Che's handsome and dashing face, beaming with a smile: "Greetings, Vice Chief Cult Leader Yan... Father-in-law..."

"Humph!"

The two of them snorted angrily at the same time.

Seeing that face only fueled the fire in my heart.

He charged forward even more fiercely, and his face became even more pale.

Fang Che's heart pounded, and he became even more hesitant to sit down, forcing a forced smile.

Completely baffled, I had no idea what went wrong. Standing wasn't an option, and sitting wasn't an option either.

Seeing that his father and grandfather looked unwell, Yan Beihan was also a little puzzled. When he chatted with Fang Che in the afternoon, he hadn't said that. He had been having a lively conversation with his father, son-in-law, and father-in-law lately.

They were almost closer than her own daughter.

Furthermore, I even read the chat history.

How could things turn out like this after we met?
"Father, Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Yan Beihan asked curiously, "Why... is this happening?"

Miss Yan was very dissatisfied.

Who are you two trying to impress?

You told me to invite Fang Che to a family dinner, and I did, but you two acted like you owed each other eight million!

How am I supposed to face people after this?

"Mr. Fang is here, please have a seat."

Yan Nan finally spoke calmly, saying to Yan Suiyun, "Let me introduce you. This is Fang Che, Fang Tu, or General Manager Fang, a high-ranking official of the Guardians."

Yan Suiyun said sarcastically, "Indeed, a handsome man."

Fang Che felt a little panicked. Had he been exposed?

But... this shouldn't be the case.

Bowing and scraping, he sat down, a quarter of his buttocks touching the chair, a fawning smile on his face: "This...this..."

Thinking urgently, what was going on? Yan Nan said to Yan Suiyun, "President Fang is at the Guardian Headquarters, and he also has a beautiful wife."

Yan Suiyun said sarcastically, "You're quite the ladies' man."

Fang Che broke out in a sweat.

Yan Beihan was displeased, glaring at them and saying, "What are you two doing! Who are you trying to intimidate?"

Yan Nan said, "Xiao Han, you don't know this. This time, it really is President Fang who has us cornered."

Fang Che felt like he was sitting on pins and needles: "I... I wouldn't dare..."

Yan Nan snorted and said, "Regarding the Earthly Venerable, in order to find out about the Earthly Venerable's situation at the Guardian Headquarters, we have already sacrificed more than eighty undercover agents in Kanke City. Dongfang San San used this information to lure out our undercover agents, but the information was watertight, and we couldn't find out anything. We would kill them as soon as they showed up... The losses were heavy."

"So Grandpa has no other choice."

Yan Nan said coldly, "We can only ask President Fang to save our lives."

Fang Che, his face covered in cold sweat, said, "Vice Chief Master Yan, this... how could I possibly accept such an honor? Please give me your orders, and I will do anything you ask, even if it means going through fire and water... Moreover, for Xiao Han, I would give my life without hesitation!"

Yan Nan rolled her eyes and said:
"Finally, we managed to find out a little bit of information: the Earthly Venerable is indeed at the Guardian Headquarters, but he is suffering from almost irreversible serious injuries and is currently receiving secret treatment personally by Feng Yunqi."

"So we want to find out about this drug, but we simply can't get any information through legitimate channels!"

He looked at Fang Che and said, "Do you understand?"

Fang Che instantly understood: "Night dream?"

Yan Nan snorted and said, "Yes, Feng Yunqi took your wife as his apprentice and now takes her with him in everything he does, nurturing her as his successor. Right now, my granddaughter's life is really in your wife's hands."

It turned out to be the case.

Fang Che finally understood.

No wonder the father and son looked like they'd just eaten shit; now I know what was going on.

Feeling frustrated.

Because Yan Beihan is also Fang Che's wife, but she needs someone else's dream to save her life, this makes Yan Nan and Yan Suiyun feel uncomfortable.

Yan Beihan was dumbfounded: Did Ye Meng need to save their lives?

I couldn't help but feel speechless.

The person she least wants to hear about, see, or interact with right now is Ye Meng.

He couldn't help but scratch his head, glare at Fang Che, pout, and remain silent.

Fang Che smiled wryly and said, "I see. It's just about getting some information through Ye Meng. It's an intelligence network, a matter of channels. It has nothing to do with saving lives or anything like that. After all, it's just about getting information. I'll make arrangements immediately."

I had previously suggested using my connections at the Guardian Headquarters to inquire, but Yan Nan refused.

I strongly disagree with doing it myself.

But now I still have to manage those relationships myself...

Tsk, Yan Nan has been proven wrong.

Of course, Fang Che cannot bring up this topic now under any circumstances.

Yan Nan sighed and said, "This matter makes you angry, right? It's a bit inexplicable, but you can't help it. You can understand that, right?"

"Yes, yes!"

Fang Che nodded repeatedly: "I understand!"

"However, we also need to consider the techniques of how to contact them, because there is still a possibility of being exposed."

Yan Nan said, "You need to be careful with your wording."

"Yes, I will definitely pay attention."

Yan Suiyun asked from the side, "Does Ye Meng know your identity as the Night Demon?"

"know."

Fang Che broke out in a sweat and said, "Back then... it was my master who arranged the marriage for me and... oversaw the wedding. Vice Chief Master Yan knew about this... cough."

Yan Nan immediately wore a look of utter disgust, his face contorted as he said, "The Yin Shen Palace originally intended to kill that girl, but you couldn't bear to part with her and insisted on living..."

Yan Suiyun snorted and said to Yan Nan, "Your subordinates are all useless and more likely to cause trouble than anything else!"

Yan Nan roared angrily, "I didn't even know there was such a person down there back then! How can you blame me for that!"

Yan Suiyun ignored him, and the other party asked, "Is it possible that Ye Meng betrayed you?"

"That won't happen."

Fang Che said with absolute certainty, "Although she is also very uneasy about the future, it is impossible for her to betray me."

"We must also be on guard."

The wild geese follow the path of the clouds.

"There won't be any problems with your dreams."

Fang Che said, "If she had any problems, to put it bluntly, I'd probably be..."

Yan Suiyun frowned, then nodded: "That's true."

Yan Beihan bit her lip and said, "You still... you contact her... every day?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Fang Che coughed awkwardly.

Then, he watched as the expressions on the faces of the three members of the Yan family became somewhat strange.

This was the first time Fang Che had ever discussed another wife's experiences at his wife's family home.

It has to be said that this experience was quite amazing.

But it seems that this matter really needs to be discussed...

Yan Nan's expression was very unpleasant.

However, he also cautioned, "The most crucial point is that... the Earthly Venerable was seriously injured, and Feng Yunqi was healing him. They will talk a lot about his injuries; but they may not mention the poison. Moreover, this matter is part of the Earthly Venerable's dark history, so we can't ask about it yet. Therefore, we must be careful with our wording."

"If Night Dream wants to inquire about the poison, it would be considered espionage. The Guardians are taking this very seriously now."

"So... we'll have to contact them to decide whether it's feasible or not."

Yan Nan said, "It's not certain that it will succeed. If Ye Meng's intentions are exposed and her soul is searched... then you will also be exposed."

Yan Suiyun said, "This is Feng Yunqi's disciple, and a girl at that. Who would dare to easily search her soul? I think we don't need to consider that part. The key is how to get the information about this poison from the Earthly Venerable! That's the most crucial point!"

Fang Che frowned and said, "Then I'll try contacting them now."

"it is good."

Yan Nan said with a dark face, "Go to the small room inside and contact them separately."

Yan Suiyun was also embarrassed: his son-in-law was actually urging his other wife to contact him, right under his nose.

This feeling is just too sweet!
Yan Beihan pouted and said, "I'll go with you."

Yan Nan yelled, "Your man is flirting with other women, what are you doing following him?! What's it to you! Sit down!"

Yan Beihan sat down with a flushed face.

He turned his head to the side and said, "Who told you to be so incompetent before... otherwise..."

"Otherwise, you won't be able to get ahead!"

Yan Nan slammed his fist on the table: "He was only a samurai back then! Damn it!"

Fang Che's face was contorted, and he lowered his head as if he had committed a crime, quickly finding a room to go into and closing the door.

He felt as if six sharp, piercing gazes were shooting at him from outside, as if trying to pierce through the door.

I closed the door, wiped the sweat from my brow, and looked in the mirror. Sure enough, my face was pale!

Their eyes were filled with fear.

It's so scary.

Although the person was not there, three divine thoughts lingered faintly in the small room.

Then one was missing.

It was Yan Nan who was scolding Yan Bei Han: "Your divine sense is poisoned, what are you doing using it?! Take it back!"

Yan Beihan pouted, angrily withdrew her divine sense, sat down in the chair, rolled her eyes, and fidgeted restlessly.

"Let's take it back too... I can't stand it."

Yan Suiyun had already withdrawn her thoughts, her expression a mixture of emotions: "Do you think I'd be happy to watch my son-in-law chat with another wife..."

And so another divine consciousness was lost in the room.

Fang Che, in his room, sent a message to Ye Meng: "Little Mengmeng...hehe, what are you busy with?"

Even the last vestige of divine consciousness was gone.

Yan Nan withdrew his divine sense as if he had been electrocuted, his face ashen as he smashed the teacup on the ground and cursed, "That's outrageous!"

Night Dream replied to the message: "Where are you? I haven't been thinking about you at all."

Fang Che had, of course, already discussed this matter and had cleared all other chat logs. Ye Meng was also prepared for it.

"I've been busy these past few days, practicing under the guidance of the nameless senior. The requirements are too high. There's almost no rest for twelve hours a day, but the progress is really fast. I'm already at the third rank of Saint Venerable! I estimate I'll reach the peak of the third rank in a few days."

"So fast? Last time you messaged me about your cultivation level, you said you were only at the eighth rank of Saint Emperor?"

"I have a surprise for you."

"cut!"

Ye Meng said, "I am a Saint King of the Third Rank, and I disdain your Saint Venerable of the Third Rank!"

"That's incredible!" Fang Che exclaimed. "You've improved so quickly, you're practically a genius!"

"Heh...Get lost!"

Ye Meng said, "You haven't visited headquarters to see your family in so long..."

"I've been busy..."

"Hmph, you're just busy flirting with those wild women outside, aren't you?"

"Absolutely not!"

"Heh... Nobody would believe you. Something's up this time?"

"Yes, I do have something important to discuss with you."

"Just as I expected! You never contact me unless there's something important! I'm busy, I'm very busy too!"

"No, no! This time it's really serious!"

"What's the matter?"

"We really need you this time. The Underworld split team was poisoned when they went there. It was a poison given by the Earthly Venerable, and it was very potent. Everyone was poisoned, so you..."

Fang Che explained the situation in detail, saying, "...Currently, you are the only channel available. However, there are also significant risks involved, so you should carefully consider your safety."

Ye Meng said, "I'm currently with my master healing the Earthly Venerable, and they're chatting, but I haven't heard anything about poison..."

He then asked warily, "What exactly is your relationship with Miss Yan?"

"It's alright! It's a superior-subordinate relationship, this is a great opportunity for me to flatter him... If I really find out this time, I'll have done a huge job! You know what I mean!"

Fang Che said, "This is Miss Yan! There are other high-ranking officials, and two princesses too. This favor is more than enough for me..."

"Let me think of a way to phrase my question..."

Ye Meng had a headache: "If they don't talk about it themselves, it's hard for me to ask about the poison directly. You just said that the Earthly Venerable personally poisoned the entire Underworld, and he himself would never say such a thing. Can you help me think of a way to phrase it?"

"Okay, just keep this in mind for now, and pay close attention to the conversations during your recovery period. Let me know immediately if you find anything."

"I know."

Ye Meng said, "However, on the first day, the Eastern Strategist came to visit. When he was chatting with my master by the Earthly Venerable's bedside, he said a few words. My master's expression was very solemn at the time, but this had nothing to do with the poison."

"What?"

"The Earthly Venerable was unconscious at the time. By the way, the Earthly Venerable's serious injury this time was inflicted by the Heavenly Emperor. It is also said that there is something related to Gui Changge and Jiang Shuyue."

"So complicated?"

"I don't know the specifics, I only mentioned it briefly. I didn't go into details, but the Eastern strategist asked my master with a very serious expression, 'The Heavenly Palace and the Underworld exist in ancient myths, are there really gods there?'"

"My master was momentarily stunned and said, 'Isn't this just a legend?' Then the Eastern strategist said, 'It might not be a legend. This matter needs further investigation.' Then my master asked, 'Do you have any evidence?' The strategist said, 'The legends of the underworld are very strange and are definitely not unfounded.'"
