Chapter 145: Chapter 103 Dongfang’s Conjecture [Extra Release for the Alliance Hierarch of the Feng family]

Dongfang Sansan’s orders were like a swift wind.

"This is the best opportunity to purge Baiyun State. Although the major Demon Sects may not reveal all their forces, something’s happening that’s making them act urgently, risking exposure. But this is precisely our opportunity!"

"Do not let a single one escape!"

"This is the task of your Guardian Hall. You may mobilize the nearby forces for this mission, and Baiyun Martial Academy must also participate."

Dongfang Sansan immediately arranged the matter.

On the side, Xue Fuxiao in white was a bit puzzled.

"San, have you missed the main point?"

Xue Fuxiao said, "Isn’t the main point the jade that Weiwo Zheng Sect is willing to find at all costs? There must be something strange about it. Otherwise, why would they search so frantically like a cornered dog? Wouldn’t they expose so many people?"

Xue Fuxiao complained, "Even I noticed it, and you didn’t?"

Dongfang Sansan sighed, "Have you not emerged from the realm where there’s nothing but the sword? Is your head just full of swords? Hurry up and comprehend beyond that, I’m not used to your foolishness."

Xue Fuxiao angrily said, "Am I not speaking the truth?"

Dongfang Sansan frowned, "Of course, the jade is important, but we may not be able to find it, and neither might Weiwo Zheng Sect. If they were confident, they wouldn’t act this way. So we’ll defer it for now."

"And the personnel that Weiwo Zheng Sect exposed in Baiyun State this time, we can control them. They’re in our grasp and can be easily eliminated... Understand?"

"First, grab what you can get in hand, then strive for what you might not get! That’s the right approach!"

Dongfang Sansan rolled his eyes, "Didn’t you notice that I’m using the Guardians to chase those people? Not the Protectors?"

"Then where are the Protectors?"

Xue Fuxiao asked.

"The Protectors are all staring at me, asking why!"

Dongfang Sansan replied irritably.

Xue Fuxiao rubbed his nose awkwardly, "How should we handle this?"

"Latest news. Ten experts from Weiwo Zheng Sect are already on the front line, heading this way, and the leader is your old rival. Also, two large cities each holding millions are under threat."

Dongfang Sansan made a bitter smile.

Xue Fuxiao furiously exclaimed, "Are they planning to massacre the city again to threaten us?"

Dongfang Sansan remained silent, then softly said, "Can we not care about their threat?"

Xue Fuxiao gritted his teeth in anger and sighed.

"Weiwo Zheng Sect can afford not to care; they’ve always acted like this, which is why they aren’t liked. Only by uniting people can we suppress Weiwo Zheng Sect all these years!"

"Therefore... we must not lose the people’s hearts. If we disregard civilian lives, how are we different from Weiwo Zheng Sect?"

"And they have divine protection; we..."

Before Dongfang Sansan could finish, Xue Fuxiao burst out, "San! I must tell you, there’s none! What gods?! Absolutely none, and there will never be any!"

Dongfang Sansan was taken aback, saying nothing.

Xue Fuxiao placed a firm hand on Dongfang Sansan’s shoulder, gravely, even with a bit of savagery, stated, "Even if there were, they don’t exist!"

Dongfang Sansan smiled, "I understand, I won’t let it affect any of my decisions!"

He pondered and said, "This time, people from your Weapon List might need to act, but this time, suppress their momentum. Strongly suppress it."

Xue Fuxiao replied, "If Duan Xiyang goes all out, I think suppressing him might lead to exposure."

"Duan Xiyang probably won’t go all out."

Dongfang Sansan, full of confidence, smiled.

"Why?"

"If I’m not mistaken... this is likely Weiwo Zheng Sect searching for something left behind by that corpse."

Dongfang Sansan said, "That piece of ancient jade!"

"We interrupted his rebirth and incinerated his divine fragment; there must be consequences. And since Weiwo Zheng Sect is frantically searching at such a high cost, it must be something very important. There have been no abnormalities before or after, so it must undoubtedly be that person’s item."

"It’s highly likely one of Weiwo Zheng Sect’s protective treasures: the Divine Ancient Jade."

"That’s why they’re in such a hurry."

"If it truly is that, and they find and return the ancient jade, that person will recover exponentially. And Duan Xiyang... based on what you reported, I can assert that Duan Xiyang doesn’t wish for this person to return."

"At least not so soon."

"Because... if that person returns, even if Duan Xiyang isn’t afraid, it would still be a huge trouble for him."

Dongfang Sansan observed, "Therefore, this time... you and Duan Xiyang are evenly matched; it’s foreseeable. Then you burst forth with residual force to shock other Weiwo Zheng Sect experts. That should be enough. Also, give them some pressure."

"Simultaneously... give our side some assurance, let them realize that since being defeated, Xue Fuxiao seems to have found a path in cultivation, now striving assertively, with combat power seemingly matching Duan Xiyang. Even showing signs of surpassing him..."

"This way, it dispels the general panic, boosts confidence, creating a psychological sense that ’we too can quickly advance.’ Do you understand?"

Dongfang Sansan smiled, "This way, shift the continental situation once again in our favor."

Xue Fuxiao’s face showed resolution, "I understand."

Dongfang Sansan asked, "Do you really understand?"

Xue Fuxiao angrily replied, "Do I just need to do what you say? What else do you want?"

"Tsk, acting like a fool, embarrassed once exposed."

Dongfang Sansan chuckled.

Clearly, he was in great spirits now, otherwise, he wouldn’t have teased Xue Fuxiao like this.

"What about Baiyun State? We can’t miss out on this ancient jade."

"I’ll send people there. You don’t have to worry about this, including those already captured in Baiyun State."

Dongfang Sansan earnestly said, "Old Xue, dealing with the upper echelons of Weiwo Zheng Sect is your greatest value! It’s what others can’t replace."

Xue Fuxiao slightly raised his chin, "Naturally. So far, I’ve seen no one who can replace me."

"Go on."

Dongfang Sansan admired, "I’ve always believed you are invincible!"

Xue Fuxiao strode out confidently, leaving a simple statement, "With a sword in hand, I’m invincible!"

Xue Fuxiao walked for a while.

Only then did Dongfang Sansan sigh, "I remember he was very smart as a child..."

But recalling how Xue Fuxiao still pressed on his sword hilt even when speaking with him, he couldn’t help but sigh.

"Beyond the sword, there’s nothing else. Is it so hard to comprehend?"

He was lost in thought for a while. Then he buried himself in his tasks again but felt he was overlooking something.

"The ancient jade!"

"It must be that guy’s ancient jade. If it’s the Divine Formless Jade..."

Dongfang Sansan began to feel restless.

He took out the map again, pondering slowly, always feeling there was a line through it, but he couldn’t pinpoint it just yet.

He glanced at the records, looking at the mentions of the Divine Formless Jade.

Then looked at the map.

Then thought about the identity of the rescued mummy.

He felt he was close to something, but could not pierce through the thin barrier of understanding.

"It’s a pity I can’t investigate on site."

Dongfang Sansan sighed, setting down the records. As he picked up the headquarters dossiers to begin his work, he suddenly jolted upright as if shocked.

"That’s it! Location!"

"This is indeed a place where earth veins converge, but there are many such places within Weiwo Zheng Sect’s vast area, places with Dragon Tiger Wind Cloud Veins!"

"Why was it buried here specifically?"

Instantly, Dongfang Sansan felt a spark of clarity.

"If it’s the Divine Ancient Jade, why didn’t it return to Weiwo Zheng Sect headquarters? Was it lost here in Baiyun State? Are there anomalies here?"

"There must be a reason! Let’s start searching from here!"

Even amid extreme surprise and swift thinking, Dongfang Sansan maintained his graceful, calm demeanor, shouting, "Come!"

"Here!"

"Find all records on Sun Wutian from birth to death, bring them all to me!"

"Yes... but... those records have been sealed for thousands of years, they need retrieval from the archive."

The responder inwardly lamented.

Why suddenly look up someone who’s been dead for thousands of years?

Considering how many documents enter the archive daily, it’s long lost under a mountain of paperwork.

Who knows if the records are now just crumbling in the warehouse, unreadable...

"Hurry and find them! No matter what, find them for me!"

Dongfang Sansan lifted his head, with a stern and commanding gaze, "If there’s damage, the archive must be held accountable!"

"...Yes!"

...

Fang Che had twisted his brain into all sorts of knots, not knowing what use these ancient jades had.

But when he went out to collect again, ancient jades in Baiyun State City had completely vanished!

This startled Fang Che: Such a massive effort?

Yixin Sect no longer even cared about exposure?

This actually relieved him a bit.

With such commotion, if the Guardians hadn’t taken action, they’d be blind.

This was clearly a great gift from Yixin Sect delivered to their doorsteps. If they couldn’t seize it, it would be truly unforgivable.

So he started to consider.

Ancient jade.

What is it exactly?

Why would Weiwo Zheng Sect pursue such a piece at any cost, something they might not even find?

Searching like finding a needle in a haystack?

This approach was basically like "I dredge the sea, then find one particular stone."

Fang Che had no idea what Weiwo Zheng Sect wanted this ancient jade for.

But he knew one thing: he couldn’t let them find it!

So for two days, Fang Che was extraordinarily diligent, continually searching, even hiring people to search, asking around.

Ancient jade as numerous as mountains!

Finally...

Mu Lin Yuan sent a message.

"Place the ancient jade in your study, then all of you withdraw for a day and night!"
