Chapter 160: Chapter 118 Yin Shen Palace in a Hurry

Zhao Shanhe said solemnly:

"This, I am powerless. The Wenxin Road must be walked. Besides, it might not lead to any mishaps. Coming out of Wenxin Road, the Divine Soul also benefits greatly. This, you all understand."

Dreaming Hejun angrily replied, "Only those who can endure it benefit; if one cannot endure, they come out as an idiot. Don’t you know? So many have walked Wenxin Road, yet how many have endured it?"

Zhao Shanhe’s face was as hard as iron, and he said silently, "I am also acting under orders. You must understand, if Fang Che is indeed an internal spy of the Yixin Sect, with his current achievements, his qualifications, and his potential future plans, once he grows, how great a loss will we suffer!"

Gao Qingyu sneered, "And what about the others? The other students? Should they all walk the Wenxin Road too?"

"There’s no such requirement from above."

Zhao Shanhe said coldly.

"Maybe it should be a requirement."

Gao Qingyu said sarcastically, "Our Baiyun Martial Academy, all 42,000 students, should all walk the Wenxin Road, with all the levels turned up a notch, send them in, turn them into a bunch of idiots, and I, the Mountain Master, might as well resign, damn it, retire!"

"Gao Qingyu, you’re being unreasonable!"

"Who’s really being unreasonable?" Meng Chizheng said angrily, "Our students, you arrest them as you like, send them to Wenxin Road without evidence, who’s being unreasonable?!"

"If there is evidence, is there still a need to walk the Wenxin Road?"

Zhao Shanhe snorted, "No more talk, no matter what, today Fang Che must walk the Wenxin Road!"

"Heh heh..."

Dreaming Hejun sat down angrily.

Looking at Fang Che, regret filled his eyes.

Zhao Shanhe said, "If there are no objections, I will take him away."

He stood up as he spoke.

"If there are no objections...does it even matter if we have objections?"

Gao Qingyu said sarcastically, "Lord Zhao really is fair and strict. To think he would ask if we have objections! I’m telling you now, we object, we have major objections!"

Zhao Shanhe’s face was as hard as iron, "Objection overruled!"

"Damn it!"

Gao Qingyu cursed angrily, turned and spat, "Then why even ask!"

Zhao Shanhe waved his hand, "Take him away!"

Dreaming Hejun and others rose at the same time, "My lord..."

Upon seeing Zhao Shanhe’s resolute attitude, everyone understood this matter was irreversible, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in their hearts.

Dreaming Hejun gently said, "Please go easy on him, I beg you. The intensity of the Wenxin Road..."

"I know. The lowest General Level intensity."

Gao Qingyu said, "I want to see the intensity!"

"Not allowed! Wenxin Road cannot be observed by anyone!"

Zhao Shanhe turned, unwilling to continue the argument, "If there are no incidents, I’ll return him by midnight."

"...Ah!"

Meng Chizheng also looked worried, "My lord, please reconsider."

Zhao Shanhe nodded.

Xiang Xinghe walked towards Fang Che, each step heavy.

Regret was evident in his eyes.

He hesitated after a few steps, then suddenly turned back, sending a transmission to Zhao Shanhe, "My lord...must we really use the Wenxin Road? This...is too cruel."

Zhao Shanhe frowned, "What are you hesitating for? Are you planning to defy orders?"

His voice was very stern.

Xiang Xinghe sighed.

Li Changkong asked, "Can I accompany Lord Zhao and retrieve Fang Che when he comes out?"

"No need."

Zhao Shanhe said calmly, "Just use a quiet room at the Martial Arts Academy. If Instructor Li is worried about the student, you can wait at the door."

"Alright."

Li Changkong said heavily, "Then I will wait at the door."

"Very well."

Zhao Shanhe walked out with hands behind his back.

Xiang Xinghe sighed and said to Fang Che, "Will you walk with me, or should I take you by force?"

Fang Che stubbornly replied, "I’ll walk myself!"

In his heart, he thought about the Wenxin Road.

Given his current Divine Soul, ten times stronger than a few days ago, he should...be able to get through it.

The problem shouldn’t be big.

But today’s situation, made so severe, with such a grand display, what is the reason?

Watching Fang Che being taken away, Li Changkong followed suit.

Dreaming Hejun and Gao Qingyu wore gloomy faces.

They felt a heavy heart.

Meng Chizheng sighed to the sky, "A pity for a genius, who should have achieved much."

Shaking his head, he walked out heavily.

Lv Jiao Mountain also sighed.

The other vice mountain masters all wore discontent. After all, this matter belonged to the internal affairs of Baiyun Martial Academy, and although Zhao Shanhe and others held high positions, they had fundamentally overstepped their authority.

Huang Yifan sighed, patted his backside, stood up, "Guess that’s it? I’m going for a drink."

"All you think about is drinking!"

Dreaming Hejun said angrily, "The face of Baiyun Martial Academy has been rubbed in the dirt, and you, a vice mountain master, think about drinking to celebrate?"

Huang Yifan rolled his eyes, "Can we stop it?"

"..."

Huang Yifan swaggered out.

Gao Qingyu’s mustache trembled with anger, pointing at Huang Yifan’s back, "Look, look...what kind of character is this!"

...

"You’re just going to watch?!!"

Dian ji Building.

Old Man Shen grabbed Huang Yifan by the collar, his eyes red, "Why didn’t you stop it?"

Huang Yifan was stunned; he didn’t expect Old Man Shen to react so vehemently, "Could I have stopped it?"

"Damn it, what’s going on up there! It’s ridiculous!"

Old Man Shen raged, "So many little demons not caught, yet they trouble good kids! It’s simply perverse, a bunch of beasts! No way, I’m going to find Gao Qingyu!"

He turned and headed out.

Huang Yifan hurriedly pulled him back.

Old Man Shen’s cultivation was gone, making it impossible to break free, but he struggled desperately, his anger like a raging fire, "Let go of me! I’m going to find Gao Qingyu, damn it! After all Fang Che has done, all the merits he’s earned, his biggest merit established with me, never even acknowledged, now he’s to walk Wenxin Road, damn it all!"

"What kind of people are they!"

"Damn it, only idle good-for-nothings are considered good people, while kids doing something are treated like this?"

Old Man Shen’s eyes were red, "Let go of me! Either kill me, or let me go, or I’ll die struggling by myself! I’m done living!"

"I became an old cripple for you lot, finally got a kid treating me well, and you can’t stand it, must destroy him."

"Anyway, I’m a useless old man, no one cares if I’m dead or alive, I’ll end it! So you don’t have to see me daily and feel guilty, damn it!"

Old Man Shen erupted.

Huang Yifan didn’t dare to use too much force, fearing he’d hurt him, and for a while, the two struggled together.

"Finding Gao Qingyu is useless, he tried to stop it, couldn’t."

"Then I’ll find Zhao Shanhe!"

Old Man Shen struggled, clearly risking his life.

Finally, Huang Yifan, being stronger, sat Old Man Shen by the bed, tightly holding his shoulders, speaking softly, "Haven’t you noticed, many strange things about Fang Che? He indeed seems like a traitor?"

Old Man Shen cursed, "You, Huang Yifan, look like a traitor! Your granny, with your wily look, shifty eyes, you’re a Demon Sect member for sure!"

Spitting on Huang Yifan’s face, he cursed, "If you don’t let go, I’ll smash my head here!"

Huang Yifan looked embarrassed.

He wiped his face with his shoulder, "Listen, you don’t trust me, but you trust Ninth Lord?"

"Ninth Lord?"

Old Man Shen became puzzled, "Did Ninth Lord say Fang Che is with the Demon Sect?"

"Listen, this is top secret."

Huang Yifan had no other way, "I’ll tell you secretly, don’t make a sound."

Through Huang Yifan’s explanations, the causes and consequences, how he reported to Ninth Lord, what Ninth Lord said, and more...

He explained it all to Old Man Shen.

Old Man Shen gradually calmed down.

Looking at Huang Yifan’s tense face, Old Man Shen pondered and said, "Ninth Lord really said that?"

"Of course!"

"I still don’t believe it!"

"He shouldn’t have to walk the Wenxin Road, no matter what."

Despite calming down, Old Man Shen remained somewhat agitated.

Doubt filled his eyes, growing thicker.

"I won’t believe it, no matter what—such a good kid, a Demon Sect plant!"

"That’s your problem. Initially, I didn’t believe it either."

Huang Yifan said, "When I used Divine Thought to pressure the kid to faint, I saw nothing...if not for Ninth Lord’s forbidding thoughts, I’d still think the kid is fine."

Old Man Shen said, "You pressured him to faint with Divine Thought?"

Huang Yifan consoled, "Yes, so don’t worry much, the kid has strong Divine Thought, if he emerges from Wenxin Road, it’d be no surprise...in fact, he’d have turned misfortune into fortune."

Old Man Shen snorted, "Turning misfortune into fortune? But Ninth Lord forbade you...wait, Ninth Lord forbade you?"

Suddenly he stopped.

Deep in thought.

When has Ninth Lord ever forbade someone from thinking a certain way? Ninth Lord does not do such things.

Turning to Huang Yifan, he thought: This old thing is not one to keep secrets.

Seemingly understanding something, joy flashed in his eyes before anger, "Regardless, this kid treats me well! I don’t care if he’s Demon Sect or Righteous Sect."

Huang Yifan shouted angrily, "How can you not discern right from wrong?"

"I can’t even kill a rat now, what’s the point of making distinctions?"

"That’s a fair point, it doesn’t matter if you do or don’t."

Huang Yifan muttered.

"Get out!"

Old Man Shen’s anger flared up again.

Pushing Huang Yifan out.

Sitting in the room, he closed the door, shut the windows, in the darkness, pondering over the table.

After a long time, he sighed lightly, "Child, hopefully, nothing happens to you."

...

Meanwhile.

Yin Shen Palace also received messages from Baiyun Martial Academy’s high-level insiders.

"Yemo suspected of being with the Demon Sect? Someone reported to the Southeast Headquarters? Lord Zhao Shanhe came down for inspection, just in time for a review? Or because of the Bibo City Su Family issues? And Su Yue’s matters? Taken away to walk the Wenxin Road?"

Yin Shen Palace was stunned. Suddenly, a monstrous rage surged forth!
