Chapter 165: Chapter 123 How Have I Achieved Merits? [Additional for Alliance Hierarch Zinuo]

Fang Che troubledly said, "Moreover, although Yin Shen Palace has some trust in me now, it’s more like the feeling of an ’adult watching over a child’, and they don’t truly see me as a confidant. And if I want Yin Shen Palace to truly trust me, I must do something, such as killing... even killing fellow brothers who are currently Guardians or Protectors... only then is it possible to stabilize my position at Yin Shen Palace. But doing so would also be a hurdle in my heart."

Hearing Fang Che’s words, Dongfang Sansan also found it tricky.

"This matter is indeed worth considering."

An old saying goes, the kind do not command armies; the righteous do not manage finances.

The saying that the kind do not command armies is something Dongfang Sansan applied very well.

His heart is cold enough.

To achieve great goals, for the victory of a large campaign, he can abandon the gains and losses of small battles at any time.

It is necessary.

However, if Fang Che must personally kill his own men, even Dongfang Sansan feels, he can’t bear it.

For the final goal, letting a certain battalion of warriors sacrifice and die is dying at the hands of the enemy.

Doing it personally is a different matter.

"I understand your thoughts, I have the same concerns."

After a moment of silence, Dongfang Sansan said, "Avoiding such things is naturally best, but if it truly cannot be avoided... Fang Che, you must know one thing: dying at your hands is better than falling into the hands of the Demon Sect and being tortured."

Fang Che was stunned.

"Once they fall into the hands of the Demon Sect, they will use every means to torment them; and many of the Guardians and Protectors have defected because they couldn’t bear it. Once they defect, there’s no turning back, their hands stained with the blood of their brothers, and their bodies planted with the Five Spirits Gu... from then on, they are completely people of the Demon Sect!"

Dongfang Sansan said heavily, "Once such people exist, it is a destructive blow to the organization they originally belonged to. Rather than that, it’s better to let them keep their good names."

Dongfang Sansan looked at Fang Che with worry on his brow, "Do you understand what I’m saying?"

"I understand."

Fang Che sighed.

"So, if there is..."

With difficulty, Dongfang Sansan said, "...just let them, keep their good names."

Fang Che silently nodded.

If they keep their good names, then naturally, I’ll be left with infamy.

This part, Dongfang Sansan didn’t say.

Too cruel.

But Fang Che understood.

Dongfang Sansan softly said, "You must know that killing them is actually saving them. At such times, Fang Che, you cannot afford to be soft-hearted."

"I understand."

Fang Che said, "The second thing is, regarding my promotion on the Guardian side, while they guard against me on one hand and use me on the other, while assigning duties, and also in such obstructive environments, I’ve made plans and preparations."

"But maintaining balance between the two sides requires exceptional skills."

Dongfang Sansan smiled after hearing this, "You don’t need to worry about this matter."

"Also, I want to forge my innate weapon now, and I need some divine metal." Fang Che brought up his biggest request.

This is related to his future in Martial Arts.

It is of utmost importance.

"Divine metal... innate weapon."

Dongfang Sansan said, "This is something that General Level can use, but you are not far from General Level now. How much do you need?"

"Sword, Spear, Saber, Halberd."

Fang Che said.

Dongfang Sansan tightly furrowed his brow.

"There’s not that much."

"Having just one for now will suffice."

"Do you intend to want a weapon, or..."

"As long as I have the divine metal, I can forge it myself with divine thought."

Fang Che already had a plan in mind.

Weapons forged by someone else’s hand can never be in complete harmony with oneself.

As long as there is divine metal, I can use my divine thought over a long period of time to gradually infuse it, and then subtly transform the divine metal in my hand into the shape of the weapon I want.

That is, in the truest sense, a divine weapon that can be used for a lifetime and accompany one’s entire journey of growth.

"Agreed!"

"I’ll help you get a piece first for now." Dongfang Sansan said, "As for what to forge, you decide for yourself."

"Alright."

"Soon, someone will bring it to you."

"Alright."

Saying this, Dongfang Sansan suddenly stopped, seemingly thinking about something.

Fang Che didn’t dare interrupt his train of thought and waited quietly on the side.

After a long time, Dongfang Sansan furrowed his brow and said, "When you mentioned divine metal, I suddenly thought of something."

Fang Che respectfully said, "Please speak, Ninth lord."

Dongfang Sansan stroked his chin, pondered again for a while, and said, "Fang Che, recently, Wei Wo Zheng Sect has been searching for ancient jade. I suspect it is the lost jade buried by someone in Baiyun State, and for this reason, I dispatched two Soul Extinguishing Jade Bowls. One was destroyed, but the demon’s soul split was finally suppressed."

"Because of this matter, the ancient jade was lost."

Dongfang Sansan softly and uncertainly said, "Later, Wei Wo Zheng Sect stopped searching, saying it was already soul-bound. In other words, it was obtained by someone else. This someone else... if I’m not mistaken, it’s you, right?"

Fang Che was shocked to the extreme.

How could something like this be guessed?

Fang Che grimaced, "I’m not surprised by other things being guessed by you, Ninth lord, but this... with a population of hundreds of millions in Baiyun State, how did Ninth lord know it was me?"

"It really is you!"

Dongfang Sansan seemed to put down a heavy stone in his heart, his whole demeanor brightened up.

This piece of jade was too important!

If someone from the Demon Sect obtained it and grew in the future, it might be another Sun Wutian.

But now it had fallen into Fang Che’s hands, which for Dongfang Sansan was indeed a great piece of good news.

Fang Che curiously asked, "Did Ninth lord really guess it?"

Dongfang Sansan laughed, pointing at Fang Che, "You actually believed it... Haha, guessing is indeed guessing, but one must also have leads to follow to make such a guess."

"Leads?"

Fang Che was even more confused, having been an invisible hand throughout this matter, what leads could there be?

"That Sun Wutian died at Xue Fuxiao’s hands thousands of years ago. His corpse lay underground for thousands of years before being resurrected."

Dongfang Sansan said, "But it was you who discovered the Qi zhi Blood Spirit Ginseng and noticed the anomaly in that mountain forest, leading to the discovery of the burial site. This is one lead."

"Yes." Fang Che nodded.

"The second lead is his soul split hiding in the Qi zhi Blood Spirit Ginseng, entering Wei Zihao’s body, and you extracted it. That’s another lead."

Dongfang Sansan smiled.

Fang Che still didn’t understand. This shouldn’t count as a lead...

"Thirdly, the mummy suffered damage because of the Qi zhi Blood Spirit Ginseng incident, returning incomplete. Fourthly, the soul split was suppressed by the Soul Extinguishing Jade Bowl because of your discovery!"

"Do you still think it has nothing to do with you?"

Dongfang Sansan calmly said, "In a certain sense, Sun Wutian’s downfall from resurrecting to a ghostly, wretched state now, you, Fang Che, are truly the chief culprit."

"Because all of this is your doing. It led to Sun Wutian’s Divine Formless Jade being lost; so, there is a saying that there’s a qi connection in the hidden realms."

"It’s very likely that your unintended actions caused Sun Wutian to lose this jade, making it highly possible for you to unintentionally acquire it again. This is a qi connection, which from one perspective, is also called the cycle of cause and effect!"

Dongfang Sansan said, "However, such matters are not absolute. So earlier, I was indeed guessing, but I would only guess you, no one else. Do you understand?"

Do you understand?

Fang Che only felt like he understood nothing.

His mind was in a haze, muddled.

There was an absurd feeling of ’Is this really the case? Damn, this also works.’

"What Ninth lord said, I seem to understand; I seem not to understand..." Fang Che dizzily said.

"You don’t need to understand."

Dongfang Sansan laughed heartily, "It’s enough to know that you got it. Nothing else matters."

Fang Che nodded in confusion.

Alright, these things I cannot understand remain incomprehensible; as long as Ninth lord understands, I won’t worry about it.

Dongfang Sansan, having laid down a major concern, felt joyful and said, "Where did you get it from? Quite a coincidence?"

"It was also because of the ancient jade. I collected a bunch of ancient jades, and the sect came to identify them, so they kicked me out..."

Saying this, Fang Che suddenly felt, wow, this is really coincidental too. It was also because of the ancient jade that I obtained the ancient jade...

With a strange thought, he recounted the story.

"...Then I heard about some ancestral tomb being blasted, and out of curiosity, I went over, and there at the Sun Family’s Ancestral Tomb, Heavenly God Sect and Yixin Sect people were fighting over this jade, and I killed them all... thus obtaining it."

Fang Che said.

Dongfang Sansan laughed heartily, "So, opportunities are indeed fate..."

Then his expression suddenly changed, his eyes flashing, "What did you just say about an ancestral tomb? Sun Family’s Ancestral Tomb?"

Fang Che was stunned, "Yes, Sun Family’s Ancestral Tomb!"

Dongfang Sansan paused immediately.

Then with a serious expression, he stood up, hands behind his back, pacing slowly.

"I see, I see, that’s how it is..."

"Indeed, indeed, just like this."

Deep in thought, he muttered, "Sun Family’s Ancestral Tomb, Sun Family’s Ancestral Tomb..."

After a long time, he sat down, frowning.

Laughing, "It seems I have something to do when I return."

"Ninth lord, what do you mean?" Fang Che didn’t understand.

"You just need to know you’ve made another great contribution."

Dongfang Sansan, enveloped in a relaxed aura, said, "Very good, excellent! Truly, when the time comes, heaven and earth will lend a hand!"

Fang Che: "..."

All the way to now, I could understand at first, but why do I understand less and less now?

"I’ve recorded all your contributions in your file. Externally, it must not be seen."

"Understood."

Fang Che was still in a daze, yet to react: I made contributions again? What did I contribute? How did I contribute?

Geez, this is so confusing.

Dongfang Sansan chuckled, "Anything else?"

"There is one more thing..." Fang Che hesitated, "In the first grade of Baiyun Martial Academy, there’s actually a seed of the Yemo Sect."

"Hmm? Yemo Sect?"

Dongfang Sansan frowned.

"It’s an eighth-level family, and this seed is called Ding Jie Ran."
