Chapter 69: Chapter 34: Fang Che’s Meritorious Achievement

This was a test.

The Yin Shen Palace had an inkling of a plan in mind but wanted to see how this young man would adapt.

Fang Che’s response came immediately, "In my humble opinion, the Sect Hierarch could contact the Heavenly God Sect and tell them that due to the connection between the Ximen Family and the Heavenly God Sect, they sought revenge against that student of Baiyun Martial Academy and ended up getting counter-killed, thus exposing the Ximen Family and Ximen Xuri’s identity, leading to Baiyun Martial Academy’s scrutiny. Now Baiyun Martial Academy has sealed off this information, preparing to lure in a bigger fish. Advise the Heavenly God Sect to quickly prepare to avoid further losses. Let the Heavenly God Sect Leader owe us a favor first."

The expression of the Yin Shen Palace turned to one of utter amazement: Genius, damn genius!

We kill your people, then sell them out, and then you owe us a huge favor.

This matter... this manoeuvre is much stronger than the approach I had in mind before.

But...

This seems a bit off-time, doesn’t it?

The Yin Shen Palace quickly snapped to attention and asked, "Has the incident with the Ximen Family seeking vengeance through the Heavenly God Sect already occurred?"

Fang Che’s response was prompt, "Not yet. But we can target two of the Heavenly God Sect’s undercover agents hidden in Baiyun State. My master will personally eliminate them, framing the Ximen Family. Then, I can take their heads to Baiyun Martial Academy in exchange for merit points and to gain the trust of the academy, making advanced moves in the future easier. As for the Sect Hierarch’s meeting with the Heavenly God Sect, it can simply be postponed for another day or two after this."

"......"

The Yin Shen Palace was struck by prolonged shock.

So damn ruthless!

Not only do you kill their top candidates and sell out an entire family, but you’re also hitting two more from the Heavenly God Sect?

But this, it sounds rather enticing.

Because after doing this, the Yixin Sect would surely owe us a favor!

And it would be a huge favor at that!

I’m helping you avoid a whole line of losses here!

How should they thank me, that old bastard must have an estimation in his mind, right?

The Yin Shen Palace pondered.

The message was sent: "After doing this, your situation will become even more dangerous. The Heavenly God Sect won’t let you off."

Fang Che replied, "As it should. If I die because of this, it would be my fate, but if by luck I survive, I shall rise to greatness stepping on their bones."

The Yin Shen Palace fell silent.

Reading the last words ’rise to greatness’, something stirred in his heart, and a plan seemed to be taking complete form.

His eyes gradually hardened.

He did not reply to Fang Che again.

The communication fell quiet.

...

Late at night, during the chou hour.

Sun Yuan suddenly received a message from the Yin Shen Palace.

"Contact Qian Sanjiang, take Yemo with you, and carry out a mission at a certain location in Baiyun State, like this..."

Sun Yuan immediately woke up and was about to contact Qian Sanjiang when Qian Sanjiang’s message arrived first: "Sun Yuan, there’s a mission!"

Sun Yuan sprung to his feet.

He headed straight for Fang Che’s mansion.

Jumping over the wall to enter.

Fang Che woke up in an instant, "Master? What’s...?"

"There’s a mission! Ten internal points!"

"Okay!"

Sun Yuan took Fang Che, and they silently left the mansion.

Sun Yuan’s cultivation was far superior to Ye Meng’s; Ye Meng had no clue of their presence.

They dashed under the night sky for a while until, in the most dense foliage of a large tree, Qian Sanjiang leapt out.

"Follow me."

They arrived on a bustling street.

The signboard of ’Lv ji Bank’ glinted in the nighttime.

"This is one of the Heavenly God Sect’s undercover strongholds in Baiyun State. There are three Heavenly God Sect people inside; one of General Level, and two Great Grandmasters. The other clerks are disciples of these three."

Qian Sanjiang declared.

"Is the information reliable?"

Sun Yuan inquired.

"Can’t it be reliable when we check our own people?"

Qian Sanjiang exclaimed with animation.

"Brilliant."

Fang Che was dumbfounded on the side.

Could this really be done?

He had only suggested acting against two undercover agents, yet the Yin Shen Palace had offered up a whole Heavenly God Sect stronghold?

Qian Sanjiang put on a mask and immediately performed ’Phantom Bones, Shifting Forms,’ transforming himself into a tall, thin man with a square face.

Sun Yuan was dressed in black.

Fang Che was also in black—but in his signature black cloak with dark golden patterns.

Not even bothering with a masked disguise.

"Strike!"

Qian Sanjiang charged into the bank.

Sun Yuan promptly followed.

Fang Che waited atop the tree.

His cultivation was too weak; he only needed to wait to claim the heads and bring them for merit.

All other tasks were in the capable hands of Qian Sanjiang and Sun Yuan!

With a loud bang.

The front door of Lv ji Bank burst open, and Qian Sanjiang barged in like a demon god.

Calls of alarm and roars rang out from inside.

"Who’s there?"

"Enemy attack!"

Qian Sanjiang’s cold laughter followed, "Hehehe..."

"Screams" were heard.

Sun Yuan’s sword was already drawing blood.

After all, he had to conceal his identity, so Sun Yuan couldn’t use his usual weapon.

But he was of King level, and the strongest in the bank was merely at General Level—the difference was too great.

Moreover, there was Qian Sanjiang, the Great High Priest from Yixin Sect, far more powerful than Sun Yuan. This battle was nothing but a one-sided slaughter!

Bang bang bang...

Crack crack...

Eight people in the bank were nearly killed simultaneously.

Qian Sanjiang and Sun Yuan then began to search for identification items with practiced ease. Everything that bore the Heavenly God Sect’s symbols, as well as the unique identity markers of these hidden agents, was found without exception.

All eight of them, not a single one missed.

All were irrefutable evidence—indeed, they were from the Heavenly God Sect demon race.

After each person was matched with their corresponding item, all the items related to the Heavenly God Sect were gathered. Finally, they even opened the secret chamber and tossed out the statues worshipped by the Heavenly God Sect.

Then Sun Yuan and Qian Sanjiang began to loot the treasures and money.

Qian Sanjiang directly stored the mountainous wealth in his Space Ring.

Afterward, Sun Yuan and Fang Che bid farewell, standing atop a tree, Fang Che loudly spoke a sentence as per Fang Che’s suggestion.

"Brother Fang, I leave this place in your hands. Since I must carry out a secret mission, it’s inconvenient for me to show myself. Thank you for preserving the Su Family’s assets. We brothers shall meet again!"

Then the two of them vaulted onto the treetops and vanished in a flash.

And Fang Che came down from the tree.

With remarkable composure, two horse-drawn carriages were driven out of the bank.

He began to load the bodies, evidence, and statues into the carriages.

When the Guardian Hall masters arrived at the scene, they saw only Fang Che, hands covered in fresh blood, busily at work.

"Stop!"

"Hands up! Don’t move!"

"Who are you?"

"What happened here?!"

"..."

An indescribable scent suddenly spread.

It was none other than Chen Ru Hai, the Vice Hall Master of Baiyun State Guardian Hall, and by his side was the Vice Hall Master Fan Tiantiao, who looked as bitter as a gourd.

Fan Tiantiao was also rather peeved.

He originally lived next to Fang Che, but his job suddenly transferred him from Bibo City to Baiyun State.

Even though he remained a Vice Hall Master, in reality, Baiyun State had a much larger jurisdiction than Bibo City.

So, in fact, this was a promotion.

Therefore, Fan Tiantiao went through the procedures happily, glad to finally be free from Chen Ru Hai, the filthy fellow who had tormented him with his feet for years.

But when he returned, he saw Chen Ru Hai packing up too.

Upon inquiry, it turned out they were assigned to the same department.

Their destination was exactly the same, and their superiors had specifically arranged: "The two of you will work together."

Fan Tiantiao had a mental breakdown on the spot.

Not even the joy of promotion could change his foul mood.

And that very first night, the place hadn’t even settled in yet, and a massacre occurred.

His poor mood was made even worse.

And at the scene, he appeared again alongside Chen Ru Hai.

Fan Tiantiao seriously contemplated suicide.

What does piling three more floors on top of a terrible mood feel like?

Then upon arriving and seeing...

"Isn’t that Fang Che?!"

Chen Ru Hai was also stunned: How is this kid here?

"What happened?"

Fang Che, fully prepared, smiled somewhat sheepishly: "Greetings, esteemed officials. It must be tough to be on a mission so late at night."

The two of them simultaneously rolled their eyes.

Tough? If you hadn’t stirred up such trouble, would we be so distressed?

"What exactly is the situation?" Chen Ru Hai asked with a very unpleasant tone.

"This matter is a long story," said Fang Che.

"May I speak with you aside, if I may?"

Chen Ru Hai and Fan Tiantiao exchanged a look then followed Fang Che a few steps away: "Speak."

Then Fan Tiantiao also moved a few steps away from Chen Ru Hai... and stood on the other side of Fang Che.

Fang Che looked surprised, not understanding why these two dignitaries were standing on either side of him.

Like bodyguards.

So he began: "Some time ago, I was in a contest at the Martial Arts Academy, and under unexpected circumstances, I killed Ximen Xuri. But what I never expected was that this Ximen Xuri’s Ximen Family was actually affiliated with the Heavenly God Sect."

"...What, what?"

Chen Ru Hai and Fan Tiantiao were a bit dazed: "What’s going on here?"

"That’s the situation."

Fang Che spread his hands: "Thankfully, my Big Brother Su Yue..."

"What, what? Your Big Brother Su Yue?"

Chen Ru Hai was outright astonished.

What the hell, another dead man’s name has popped up?

Wasn’t Su Yue and his entire family wiped out?

"My Big Brother Su Yue? What about him?" Fang Che looked bewildered.

"Nothing, continue talking," Chen Ru Hai insisted, pinching the bridge of his nose with his hand that still emitted a certain smell.

Then he sniffed his hand.

"Damn it!"

Fan Tiantiao suddenly exploded, uttering a crude outburst.

Fang Che was utterly confused: "????"

Fan Tiantiao forcefully suppressed his emotions: "It’s nothing, not about you. Continue."

Fang Che: "..."

Damn it!

"...Yes, my Big Brother Su Yue discovered in time that the Ximen Family was in contact with people from the Heavenly God Sect, plotting to assassinate me. My Big Brother Su, a man of deep loyalty, came with his master and senior brothers from thousands of miles away at the first sign of trouble and struck like thunder to eliminate the future threats, killing all of the Heavenly God Sect operatives ready to take action."

"That’s the whole outcome."

"Everyone, don’t disturb the scene yet."

Immediately, Fan Tiantiao issued the order.

Then he and Chen Ru Hai went over to the carriages to examine the various items of evidence.

As veterans who had fought the Demon Sect for many years, they could tell at a glance that these people were indeed bona fide members of the Demon Sect.

Most of the items couldn’t even be duplicated if someone wanted to.

These people were definitely from the Heavenly God Sect.

In other words, Fang Che had indeed done a great service!

A great service!
