Lord of the night.

Chapter 1491 Long Time No See! [Two-in-One]

"Last time we came, it seemed that Boss Fang personally smashed the signboard."

Dong Yunyu said, "Now they've actually changed to a new one."

Fang Che stood with his hands behind his back, coldly looking at the newly renovated plaque, and said indifferently, "After my incident, the Fang Prince's Mansion was smashed into ruins. Later, it was cleared of wrongdoing, and then it was rebuilt."

"So I don't want to go in."

Fang Che said coldly, "This is no longer my Fang Wang Mansion. Tell Commander Zhao tonight to shut it down."

Mo Ganyun and the others felt a little reluctant, but they didn't say anything.

This place holds many beautiful memories. It's a bit of a shame to close it.

But even if he stayed, Fang Che would never come back, much less admit it.

"Aren't we going to investigate who pushed it and who participated in the vandalism?"

Xue asked slowly.

"never mind."

Fang Che shook his head: "We probably don't need to pursue this anymore."

Everyone laughed, though their smiles seemed somewhat forced.

That evening, after speaking with Zhao Shanhe, Zhao Shanhe firmly refused: "This won't do. These are traces of President Fang's past in Donghu! No one is allowed to touch them! Even if you never live there in your life, even if you never admit it, the fact that Fang Wangfu once existed in this place cannot be erased."

"Those who participated in the vandalism of the Fang Prince's Mansion back then, those who are still alive are now in labor camps..." Zhao Shanhe grinned.

"..."

No one knew what to say.

Zhao Shanhe thanked them profusely, then shouted a few slogans praising the high-ranking guardians. After that, Fang Che and the others sealed his cultivation, made him pass out, and sent him back.

They stayed at the inn that night.

Jin Xiao was probably staying at an inn for the first time, and she took the initiative to pull Mo Ganyun aside to introduce her to the place.

Everyone scratched their heads: This Miss Jin and Big Guy... seem to have a thing going on. She doesn't look for anyone else, only Mo Ganyun. It's quite obvious.

It's certain that people will have different perceptions.

But... what's with all that little bit of dislike on ordinary days? I just can't figure it out.

It's quiet at night.

Fang Che was meditating in his room when he suddenly received a message from Dong Yunyu: "Brother Fang, something's not right. The Fang Prince's Mansion... is occupied!"

Fang Che was taken aback.

Is anyone living here?
How can this be! ?
Zhao Shanhe made it very clear: leave it empty, waiting for Fang Che to come and live there. If Fang Che doesn't come, it will remain empty as a scenic spot for the rest of its life!

How could anyone be living there?

"Are you sure?" Fang Che asked.

"determine."

Dong Yunyu was quite certain.

It turns out that this guy, although cheeky, has a sensitive personality that is easily moved by many things, especially the Fang Prince's Mansion, where Dong Yunyu finds it even more unforgettable.

This is mainly because this is the place where he consistently gets beaten up the most.

It's something I can't forget.

Then there was the incident of Fang Che being hunted down, which left an indelible mark on Dong Yunyu's heart. The helplessness, grief, and even despair she felt at that time made Dong Yunyu realize the weakness of her own strength like never before.

Unforgettable.

Today, Dong Yunyu heard Fang Che ask Zhao Shanhe to turn it down. Although Zhao Shanhe refused, and Fang Wangfu could be preserved in the future, Dong Yunyu herself knew that she could never enter Fang Wangfu again.

Therefore, I feel grateful.

Seeing that it was late at night and everyone was quiet, I wandered out alone, wanting to go and see the Fang Prince's Mansion.

I wanted to bring Mo Ganyun, who shared similar experiences and feelings, along, but Mo Ganyun is currently acting like a sycophant and isn't as sentimental as Dong Yunyu...

So Dongyun Yu went by herself.

When they got there, they discovered something was wrong.

He stood high in the sky and scanned down with his divine sense, discovering that there were actually figures flickering.

This immediately put Dong Yunyu on her guard.

After careful reconnaissance, it was discovered that people were indeed going in and out, and that they were below the main house... It seems that the people living inside had built a basement below.

It must be said that this is an extremely clever idea, and also the best place for someone who needs to hide.

It's not just a matter of blind spots.

The advantages of living here are endless; as long as the above-ground facilities remain untouched, the ground below is as stable as a mountain.

Although Fang Che was determined not to move in, who would dare to investigate the Fang Prince's Mansion?

After sensing the situation, Dong Yunyu discovered that there were even more experts among them. So he immediately ran away.

Hurry up and find Fang Che.

"Calm down! Let me think about it. Come back first."

Fang Chedao.

Dong Yunyu: "I'm back."

Fang Che was relieved, but then frowned: the Fang Prince's Mansion was inhabited, and the ground hadn't been disturbed at all; people were living underground.

Who could it be?

The Guardians are unlikely, notorious bandits are improbable, and the city's gangs don't seem to be that bold. As for the Righteous Cult... according to Fang Che's understanding, they probably wouldn't either.

Then it must be in other directions.

Fang Che immediately thought of the Spirit Serpent Cult or the Divine Weasel Cult.

Fang Che now realizes that this has become his habitual way of thinking: whenever he notices any disturbance, the spirit snake and the divine weasel are the first suspects.

But Fang Che's suspicions were justified.

"How can we discover the identities of the people inside without them being detected?"

Fang Che frowned in deep thought.

Dongfang San San has gone to Dragon God Island. If there are any high-level reshuffles within the Guardians…

After thinking it over, Fang Che decided to make use of the resources he had.

Calm down and rest.

After dawn.

Fang Che transmitted his voice to Jin Xiao: "Miss Jin, there is something I would like to ask you for a favor."

Having such a top expert right beside him, Fang Che naturally knew how to make use of him.

"no problem."

Jin Xiao was clearly excited that he could help, and his attitude was very positive.

This fully demonstrates her recognition of and closeness to the guardian.

"That's it..."

Fang Che recounted the events and said, "...Is it possible to find out their identities without alerting anyone? At our current cultivation levels, none of us brothers can do that."

"That's easy!"

Jin Xiao agreed without hesitation: "No problem. Let's go out for a walk in a bit."

"it is good."

Fang Che reminded him, "Even divine sense power cannot be detected."

Jin Xiao smiled faintly.

Fang Che felt he couldn't quite decipher that smile; it was... mocking? Or perhaps... that kind of haughty arrogance from above?

Or both.

The two went out and strolled around the streets, mainly visiting several bookstores and buying some reference books: these were relatively close to Fang Wangfu.

The bosses all looked excited!
Mr. Fang actually came to my store to buy something!

This is truly a great blessing.

Moreover, Mr. Fang was very kind and approachable, asking about my business and family situation. The conversation was wonderful...

While Fang Che was talking with the bosses, Jin Xiao was right next to him. His silent divine sense power spread out without Fang Che even sensing it.

They went straight into the Prince Fang's mansion and looked around.

It sank right down.

No one could detect it; it plunged ten feet, a hundred feet... and even deeper underground...

After a while.

Jin Xiao glanced at Fang Che.

Fang Che then promptly paid the bill.

The shopkeeper firmly refused, but Fang Che patted his hand, smiled slightly, left the silver, and took his leave.

The boss was so excited he almost cried, clutching the silver in his hand, unsure of what to say.

Suddenly, a customer rushed over and said, "Boss, are you selling this silver ingot? I'll give you a thousand taels of gold in exchange!"

Boss: "What are you thinking? Do you think I'm stupid? This is money from Boss Fang! From now on, this will be my family heirloom! Do you think I'm a country bumpkin?"

……

After leaving the bookstore, the two of them quickly returned to the inn.

Jin Xiao then transmitted his voice, saying, "There are experts, quite a few. Moreover, there is a very uncomfortable aura. Some people have black hair on their exposed arms when they are practicing... But this place should still be under construction. Many underground facilities are being developed. Judging from the area they have demarcated, it is three hundred feet underground, which is exactly the depth that isolates the divine sense power of ordinary geniuses and high-level Saint Kings."

"Currently, construction is only in its initial stages; roughly speaking, it is at most one-third complete."

"Judging from their aura, they should be opposed to the guardians, no, they should be opposed to the entire continent."

Jin Xiao asked, "What are your plans?"

Fang Che immediately understood: the Divine Weasel Cult.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Let's leave it for now and wait until they've finished building it."

Jin Xiao smiled immediately: "I knew you would make this choice."

Fang Che laughed heartily.

After returning home, he sat in his room and pondered whether to report the matter to the Guardians or to the Sovereign Church.

So he sent a message to Fang Yunzheng: "I have discovered a nest of the Divine Weasel Cult in Donghuzhou. I am going to report it to the Weiwo Zheng Cult."

After giving the notification, he immediately sent a message to Yan Nan: "Deputy Chief Master Yan, I have something important to report."

"explain."

"When my subordinates arrived at Donghu Island, they discovered that my original residence was the Fang Prince's Mansion..."

Fang Che recounted the whole story, saying, "...Through secret reconnaissance, it has been built to about one-third complete...it is not yet finished."

Yan Nan's spirits lifted, and a murderous glint appeared in his eyes: Finally, we've found a place!
"I understand. Don't touch it. Let them build happily first!"

"Yes."

Fang Che agreed, just as he had expected. Yan Nan thought the same thing.

Then Yan Nan asked, "What's the background of that tall woman you're with?"

"I really haven't figured out where it came from."

Fang Che said, "I've never heard of such a family, nor such a master. I even suspect... whether they are related to the Grand Master?"

Yan Nan angrily retorted, "What a bastard idea! That's absolutely impossible!"

"..."

Fang Che remained silent.

"Watch carefully, and tell me immediately if anything happens."

"Yes."

"On your way to the Guardian Headquarters, you must keep the Star-Suppressing Technique running at all times! Under no circumstances should you give yourself away!" Yan Nan instructed.

"Yes."

"Where is Sun Wutian?" Yan Nan asked.

“The Patriarch said he went to travel the world… He’s not here right now. He’s been quite tired lately…” Fang Che said cautiously.

Why wasn't he with you during such a dangerous time?!

Yan Nan was furious: "And didn't I tell him to come back to headquarters after he finished? He's not going with you, and he's not going back to headquarters either. What is he trying to do?"

Fang Che dared not utter a sound.

As expected, Yan Nan cut off communications and went to cause trouble for Sun Wutian.

Fang Che breathed a sigh of relief.

He exchanged messages with Yan Beihan, Bi Yunyan, and Feng Xue, and each said a few mushy words to the other.

Then, in response to Feng Yun's message, he only replied with: "Busy, no time."

They then installed the communication jade.

Feng Yun was furious: he had clearly seen his sister talking on the phone with a sweet expression on her face, and it was obvious from her expression that they had been chatting back and forth for a long time.

Then I casually asked: "How's the data you collected for me coming along?" The reply was: "Too busy!"
You only have time to coax your wife!
And you definitely didn't just reply to my sister, there were other women too!
After you've showered all your women with sweet words, you're too busy to talk about me?
"Heartless thing!"

Feng Yun pointed at Feng Xue and cursed, "Night Demon is no good! You'd better watch out in the future. That bastard is wicked. Be careful he doesn't sell you out and you'll still be counting the money for him! Don't forget your surname is Feng!"

Feng Xue was furious: "Brother, you talk badly about people behind their backs, you have no character!"

He stood up, turned around, and left.

Feng Yun: "..."

He was so angry that he didn't say a word for a long time.

Just then, a subordinate came to report on the progress of the mission, and Feng Yun's stomach felt like it was about to explode again.

It was only after Fang Che left and Feng Yun took over the work that he realized that this round of auditing was led by his second uncle, Feng Nuan.

This time, I am cooperating with Feng Nuan.

This made Feng Yun feel so nauseous that he couldn't catch his breath for many days.

"Night Demon, Night Demon... you're truly a genius! When it comes to making me feel disgusted, you've reached the pinnacle!"

Feng Yun's eyes turned blue.

"Young Master Yun, these are confirmed cases of embezzlement, but the subsequent value is not significant... Currently, a total of 920,000 people have been identified."

"Does this even need reporting?!"

Feng Yun waved his hand: "Kill them all! Where are we going to put them in such a big prison? Behead them! Confiscate their property! All their assets are to be turned over to the public!"

"Yes!"

The True Cult has been killing people for many days now.

On the surface, it appears that Lord Night Demon is the one wreaking havoc.

This massive purge of the Sovereign Church shocked many at the Guardian Headquarters.

Some are even saying things like: How many people has that Night Demon of the Sovereign Cult killed by now? It has to be said that he has killed more people than we have in the Sovereign Cult. There's a feeling that if the Night Demon keeps killing, he might actually be able to wipe out the Sovereign Cult completely...

Of course, many insightful people scoffed: "Was it Night Demon who killed him? Whose orders does Night Demon take? It was Yan Nan who did it! What does Night Demon have to do with it... Night Demon is, at most, just an executioner?"

Everyone: "Yes, yes, that makes sense."

When such remarks reached the Sovereign Church, the effect was quite different.

God of Slaughter! Demon Lord!

Executioner!
The most vicious criminal in the world!

Such accolades were bestowed upon Lord Night Demon.

For a time, it was a force of unparalleled ferocity, with demonic flames raging to the heavens!

The investigation of the secret graves of the death squads of the vice-leaders of the True Cult of My Own has also come to an end.

The final result was a number that Yan Nan could hardly believe.

The compiled list left people like Feng Dubaijing with gloomy faces all day long, while Chen Gu, Bi Changhong, and Wu Xiao felt ashamed to face anyone.

Even people like Xiong Jiang and Xiang Beidou, who don't think things through much, have a feeling of 'what's the point of working so hard all these years?' Let alone others.

Surprisingly, quite a few of these were descendants whom the former deputy leaders, as the elders, greatly admired and favored.

This result can only be described as: absolutely incredible!

Therefore, Yan Nan and Feng Du simultaneously ordered Feng Yun: Kill!

Do not show pity!

Strict and severe punishment! Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!

Feng Nuan now holds great power, and he doesn't meet with Feng Yun. He only leads the Court of Judgment and the Court of Finance, and his daily routine involves checking accounts. Once he finds something, he sends the list to Feng Yun.

The heating system is effective, and the staff is very professional, focusing on the key points accurately.

During this period, Feng Nuan's team suffered more than twelve assassination attempts!

However, there are too many experts around: the Yin Demon and the Enchantress Ning Zaifei, Vice Chief Bai's East, West, South, North, and Vice Chief Bi's evil madness; if one comes, one dies; if two come, both die.

The accounts of Black Pine Manor have been investigated and are now sealed and imprisoned. We are now heading towards the second manor.

However, it is worth mentioning that the question of whether the Black Pine Manor's higher-ups colluded with the Divine Weasel Cult, as well as the matter that Fang Che discovered was related to the robbery and murder case three thousand years ago, has never been put on the interrogation agenda!
Because of these... it would be too risky to alert the enemy before the overall audit is completed.

Yan Nan and Feng Du personally instructed Feng Nuan to press down all the sensitive areas.

But the number of deaths will not be small, because the huge financial hole is enough to send everyone to the guillotine together...

They killed people in batches.

Blood has stained the land of the True Church!
The common people, on the other hand, are happy, discussing and watching the excitement every day.

Watching as once high and mighty figures were beheaded one after another.

Countless people applauded.

Because these things have little to do with ordinary people, to put it bluntly: they don't even have the right to go to the guillotine that has been set up now.

That requires blood ties, connections, ability, official position... one's social status must reach a certain level before it's possible...

Because of the internal strife within the True Self Sect, the bad news of "full preparation for war" that Vice Chief Leader Feng had mentioned when he first returned to the sect turned into nothing more than a wisp of smoke.

People are still gathering at the border.

But after the assembly... nothing more happened.

So both sides started conducting exercises... They had no choice; with so many people gathered together, their abundant energy had to be expended...

Our true religion is investigating cases throughout the entire religion.

The Guardians' leaders have all gone on a visit to Golden Dragon Island...

War? What kind of war?

However, Yan Beihan's split team is now regrouping and is about to head to the Heavenly Palace.

Because of this incident... the Heavenly Emperor no longer cared about torturing the Earthly Venerable at the Guardian Headquarters, and happily returned home 'severely injured' long ago.

This time, even the Guardian Headquarters was helpless in their search for medical help, and his life probably only has six months left...

Suddenly, tensions rose in the Heavenly Palace, and people were filled with fear and unease...

In terms of the atmosphere of war, the atmosphere of war inside the Heavenly Palace is much stronger than that between the Sovereign Church and the Guardians.

Of course, no one knew that in such a tense, bloody, and oppressive atmosphere...

The three princesses of the True Sect held a cordial and friendly meeting.

At Yan Beihan's invitation, Feng Xue and Bi Yunyan entered the Yan family manor, isolating themselves from the outside world, and the three parties met in Yan Beihan's private garden.

First, Yan Beihan and Feng Xue had a cordial and friendly discussion. Both sides clarified their positions, defined their responsibilities and obligations, and successfully determined the hierarchy, establishing a leadership team with Yan Beihan as the head, Feng Xue as the assistant, and Bi Yunyan as the second assistant.

Bi Yunyan then protested being ranked third, but was met with joint suppression from Yan Beihan and Feng Xue!

Bi Yunyan shouted, "I went first! Why should I?! Even as a concubine, I can't be first! I'm a princess too!"

However, it had no effect!

Under the high-pressure policies of Yanbei Han and the combined soft and hard tactics of Feng Xue, Bi Yunyan was defeated at an absolute disadvantage.

Forced to sign a humiliating treaty.

However, he was resentful and prepared to use various means to seize favor and consolidate his position, including but not limited to ruthless methods such as draining the head of the family dry, which could lead to mutual destruction.

Feng Xue expressed her concern.

Yan Beihan replied: No need to mind.

In the event of a battle, we can use our concubines as cannon fodder and push them forward. Once she has been crushed to dust, we can calmly face the enemy.

Some of the rather crude remarks made Feng Xue, who was attending the meeting for the first time, blush. However, she expressed her respect, admiration, and respect for her elder sister Yan Beihan's strategic planning and foresight.

Yan Beihan said: This is all basic stuff! We're all family now, no need to be so polite.

Then, the supreme principle was put forward: the development and expansion of the Night Demon Clan of the Orthodox Church in the future is the most important thing above all public and private matters!

This policy will remain unchanged for 100,000 years.

Feng Xue and Bi Yunyan expressed their agreement.

Then, the three of them re-established the Supreme Leadership Group for the Split Outer Mountain Gate of the Sovereign Sect, with Yan Beihan as the group leader, Feng Xue and Bi Yunyan as the deputy group leaders, and once again called Zhou Meier as a member of the group to analyze the Heavenly Palace.

Then, a policy plan was formulated, and preparations were made to set off within two days.

After team member Zhou Meier left, Bi Yunyan stated: "The Heavenly Palace is far farther from the Guardians than it is from the Sovereign Sect. The two sides are sworn enemies; we must be wary of the Guardians causing trouble!"
Therefore, in order for this matter to proceed smoothly, she was willing to venture into the lion's den to gather intelligence on the Guardian Continent.

He also conveyed to the team leader, Yan Beihan, his determination to risk his life if an unexpected situation were to occur.

Yan Beihan rejected Bi Yunyan's proposal, citing its excessive danger.

Thus, all matters were concluded.

That's all.

Meanwhile, Fang Che leisurely made his way to the Guardian Headquarters, killing snakes and enjoying the scenery along the way, feeling refreshed and invigorated by the beautiful landscape.

Upon arriving in Sanchuan City, news came from the Guardian Headquarters.

The Eastern strategist has returned.

Furthermore, a non-aggression pact was reached with Dragon God Island.

Furthermore, Dragon God Island gifted many super treasures that ordinary people simply could not obtain from the deep sea.

Recently, the activities of the Sovereign Church have become increasingly rampant, and the border situation is becoming more and more dangerous; a major war is imminent.

At this perilous moment, the Eastern strategist decided to open the Guardian's Treasure Vault and, together with the treasures gifted by Dragon God Island, launch a war auction across the entire continent!
Highest bidder wins!

It's definitely worth the price.

Furthermore, those who purchase these treasures as family heirlooms have a responsibility to protect them, provided they do not break the law. Any attempt to seize them through illegal means will be resolutely suppressed by the guardians and the organization that protects them!

Then there's a picture book, where even the worst treasures can prolong life, and they're the kind of things that can improve your health over the years by being placed in your own well or buried in your own ground!

Increasing the endowments of offspring is a given.

This booklet contains hundreds of treasures, and the ones on the first ten pages are considered earth-shattering treasures by ordinary people or martial artists!

In addition, every auction in every major city also features three mysterious grand prizes!

The Eastern strategist said: Everything for the mainland! Everything for safety!
Everything is in preparation for war!

All the wealthy businessmen who participated in the auction and won the bid were meritorious officials of the mainland! Therefore, although the auction money could still get you the goods, it was not under the guise of an auction, but rather under the guise of fundraising for the mainland's war effort!
They will be awarded the title of Honorary Citizen of the Mainland.

The top fifty individuals in each city by transaction amount will receive the title of Honorary Citizen of the Guardian Continent and a "golden shield" granting them immunity from death. This golden shield means that if any of their descendants commit any sins, no matter how grave, they can preserve one of their bloodlines with this shield!
The top ten have two sides.

The first three are three-sided.

First place, five get-out-of-jail-free cards!

As long as the Guardians are still around, they won't renege on this debt!
Ordinary people or those with limited financial resources should not be envious, because this money will also be used for the construction of the entire continent, people's livelihood, and disability compensation, etc.

Instantly, the entire mainland was in an uproar.

Everyone, including ordinary people, is talking about this auction that took place across the entire continent.

Countless families with a rich history are eager to try their luck.

It was at this moment that the Life and Death Patrol Team received orders from the Guardian's General Affairs Office.

"Reporting on my work in the rugged city!"

The day has finally arrived.

Moreover, this time, it's a grand meeting of all the guardians and protectors!

All high-ranking guardians and garrison commanders of sufficient status and rank, including the general managers of each major war zone, participated collectively.

The meeting included a summary, commendations, performance reviews, and outlines the next steps and future direction.

Headquarters notice: No absences are permitted for any reason; all attendees are required to participate!

The Eastern strategist will personally attend and preside over this crucial meeting!

It was an unprecedented meeting in terms of scale.

This is only the third time in the Guardians' long history that such a meeting has been held. And the number of participants in the previous two meetings was far less than this one!

For all the guardians under heaven, this was an indescribably crucial meeting!

After the Life and Death Squad received the order, Lian Xue, Feng Xiangdong, and other direct descendants of the three major families were all shocked.

An unprecedented event!
The city, once fraught with hardship, is now experiencing unprecedented prosperity.

The north wind howled, raging across the sky at a constant, biting speed.

Banners fluttered neatly southward across the rugged city.

It produced a deafening sound.

Like countless heroic souls from countless years past, they have come to this place at the same time, waving their battle flags, beating their war drums, and blowing their horns once again!

An indescribable, majestic, and chilling aura swept over us, threatening to spread across the entire continent.

Being in this atmosphere evokes a powerful sense of emotion and brings tears to one's eyes.

early morning!

Fang Che and his companions, dressed neatly, arrived at the foot of Kanke City.

Looking at the solemn mountains, I felt an indescribable surge of emotion in my heart!

A large group of white-clad guardians, led by five elderly men, stood with their hands behind their backs before the rugged Chengshan Mountain.

As Fang Che and his group arrived.

The five smiled and stepped forward simultaneously. Dressed in white as snow, with flowing white hair, they stood tall and straight, like mountains, and bowed to Fang Che in unison.

"Mr. Fang, how have you been?"
