Chapter 1758 - 54: How Did He Do It? [2-in-1]

Chapter 1758: Chapter 54: How Did He Do It? [2-in-1]

A total of nine hundred and ninety-six people qualified to become Sect Hierarchs, but in the end only eight hundred and ten were actually appointed.

The rest all did as Mo Wang and the others did, submitting to someone they felt was worth following.

In one go, more than eight hundred Sect Hierarchs were scattered out, which meant more than eight hundred sects.

Fang Che sighed inwardly.

These little sects, the damage they do to ordinary commoners is beyond imagination.

"Sigh..."

"There are still two days left of the banquet."

...

Yan Nan and the others, the three Vice Sect Masters and two Super Guardians, were in the big tent, originally planning to rest for a bit and recuperate.

But all kinds of news kept pouring in regardless.

"The Wang Family Head from Headquarters, Wang Fufeng, has appeared at the banquet and is toasting all the survivors, with particular focus on toasting Yemo, trading barbed words like clashing spear tongues..."

The whole process was quickly reported over.

A sharp killing intent appeared on Duan Xiyang’s face.

Yan Nan’s expression didn’t look good either.

"Sigh... this Wang family... really doesn’t know life from death."

Yan Nan said tiredly, "Before this, one branch family of the Wang family colluded with the Li family and several other families, sparing no means to seek revenge on Yemo, and killed Yemo’s master, Sun Yuan."

"And Sun Yuan was a blood descendant from however many generations of Sun Wutian..."

"The reason I sent Sun Wutian to the Southeast, and used Fang Che’s matter to keep Sun Wutian stuck there, was precisely because I wanted to keep him from being able to come back and settle accounts. Because once he returns, the people Sun Wutian goes after will absolutely not be just that branch family, but inevitably the entire Wang family clan. And now this Wang family actually goes and throws itself onto the road to death... If they send people to the Southeast to assassinate Yemo, isn’t that just delivering people into the edge of Sun Wutian’s sword?"

Yan Nan was speechless.

This time it just happened to line up like this? The Wang family lost another three?

But Yemo has only killed a bit over six thousand people so far; more than forty thousand went in and died, and yet you lot are fixated on taking revenge on Yemo—what kind of brain is that?

"Fifth Brother, let them be."

Bai Jing said coolly, "Kind words can’t dissuade a ghost that deserves to die, compassion can’t ferry those who cut themselves off! This Wang family is seeking its own death; even if we stop them this time, they’ll still be doomed sooner or later."

Duan Xiyang said coldly, "If Sun Wutian really can’t free up his hands, he can come talk to me. I don’t want to meddle in other matters, but this one, I can lend a hand."

"Forget it, forget it..."

Yan Nan’s headache was intense: "One Sun Wutian is troublesome enough, don’t you come stirring the pot again."

Duan Xiyang snorted.

"Just now, word came from the Law Enforcement Hall, confirming that Bei Mingxin is already dead."

Yan Nan said to Bi Changhong, "After death, for a long time there was no reply to messages, but she also did not refuse transmissions. When the Five Spirits Gu dies completely, it refuses all transmissions, so we can be sure Bei Mingxin died in the Forbidden Land!"

Bi Changhong said flatly, "Bei Mingxin was a very capable person. Her death is a bit of a pity."

Yan Nan said, "You’ve recovered?"

Bi Changhong coughed once and said, "Recovered."

He straightened up slightly and said to Duan Xiyang, "Old Duan, sigh... you know that temper of mine, we’ve been old brothers for so many years. If you’re still angry, just come beat me up—after all, I did you wrong."

Duan Xiyang gave a weird laugh: "You think that just because you’re backing down and acting magnanimous I won’t hit you anymore? Let me tell you, it’s exactly this version of you that I want to hit! Just wait a bit! You think you can keep flipping back and forth and still be in the right, is that it?"

Bi Changhong sighed, spreading his hands helplessly, and said to Yan Nan, "Fifth Brother, looks like I really am going to get beaten up again..."

Yan Nan was utterly speechless.

For this matter, not to mention that he himself had no solution, even the boss Zheng Yuandong didn’t have any way out!

What can you even do?

"The third matter is somewhat interesting."

Yan Nan said, "Something big has happened over at the Guardians’ side."

"What big thing?"

"Rui Qianshan’s disciple Ding Jie Ran has defected and gone into hiding."

Yan Nan frowned.

"What’s the story?"

The eyes of the others all lit up.

"Some time ago, a few young masters from the Guardians in the East—families Ning, Yan, Gu, Zhao, and Meng—went to the Southeast for a trial. Supposedly, somehow they ran into a beautiful young girl, which triggered a conflict with the local Ding Family, and many people from the Ding Family were killed. That girl is said to be Ding Jie Ran’s childhood sweetheart."

Yan Nan said, "When the matter reached Ding Jie Ran’s ears, Ding Jie Ran went alone with a single sword to the East, and one month ago, he exterminated the Meng family."

"Then he was besieged, escaped, and then his killing intent went rampant, slaughtering one family after another. At present, supposedly five families have already been wiped out."

Bi Changhong asked, "What level is this Ding Jie Ran at?"

"Reportedly Elder level," Yan Nan said.

Bi Changhong said, "This doesn’t add up, does it? Those families might not be Super Families, but they shouldn’t be something an Elder level can completely annihilate, right?"

"That’s exactly the issue. This Ding Jie Ran has an Innate Sword Bone, he’s a Sword Dao prodigy, and he’s taciturn—he can go an entire year without saying a single sentence, pouring all his energy into sword training. His temperament and the way he strikes are that of a born assassin... Add to that Rui Qianshan’s meticulous teaching, holding nothing back, and the cultivation resources of the Guardian Headquarters. With Elder level strength, he can actually kill across realms against Saint Level experts!"

"And these families rely on mechanical ingenuity to stand firm; their Martial Arts are not that strong."

Yan Nan said, "So right now, I’m hesitant when it comes to this matter."

Bai Jing said, "Hesitant?"

"Because this Ding Jie Ran is one of our Wei Wo Zheng Sect people. He bears the Five Spirits Gu; he was originally a hidden plant developed by the Yemo Sect of the Five Sects of Southeast. Back then, the Yemo Sect reported him up."

"And the Ding Family is also a downline developed by the Yemo Sect."

"Supposedly, after the Guardian Headquarters got wind of it, they launched a worldwide covert manhunt for Ding Jie Ran. And once it was confirmed that the Ding Family were ours, the entire Ding Family has mysteriously disappeared together—obviously they’ve been taken under control by Dongfang Sansan."
