Monarch Night
Chapter 1121 - 270: Ninth Master’s Seven Pots of Tea [Part 1] [Ten Thousand Words]
Dongfang Sansan gestured to drink tea, saying: "But first, we need to understand one issue, that is the stance of the Wei Wo Zheng Sect."
"The first thing to clarify is... the Wei Wo Zheng Sect and the Guardian can never turn hostility into friendship. Even without the Five Spirits Gu, it’s impossible."
Dongfang Sansan’s words were extremely solemn.
Every word was like the sound of gold and stone.
However, he did not explain the reason.
Fang Che solemnly replied: "Yes!"
Dongfang Sansan continued: "Yan Nan currently manages all sect affairs, as the Second Vice Sect Master, but all the power is in his hands now."
"Originally, Zheng Yuandong led his seventeen brothers to conquer the world, among them was Yan Nan, ranking fifth. Known as Yan Wu, he was the strategist among the brothers."
"Zheng Yuandong oversaw the overall situation, but the development of the sect at that time, various plans, including battles, construction, rear support... all these, were established single-handedly by Yan Nan."
"Finally, the Wei Wo Zheng Sect was established, and among the eighteen brothers, only ten remained. Apart from the Sect Leader Zheng Yuandong, the other nine are known as the Nine Directions Demon Gods." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"They are the Heaven Supporting Hand, Feng Du, ranking third among the brothers, second in the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, and serves as the First Vice Sect Master."
"Soul Shocking Palm, Yan Nan, ranking fifth among the brothers, third in the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, and serves as the Second Vice Sect Master."
"Soul Splitting Needle, Bi Changhong, ranking sixth among the brothers, fourth in the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, and serves as the Third Vice Sect Master."
"Heartless People, Chen Gu, ranking seventh among the brothers, fifth in the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, and serves as the Fourth Vice Sect Master."
"Ice Soul, Bai Jing, ranking eighth among the brothers, sixth in the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, and serves as the Fifth Vice Sect Master."
"Night Owl, Wu Xiao, ranking ninth among the brothers, seventh in the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, and serves as the Sixth Vice Sect Master."
"Cloud Minister, Yu Han Yan, ranking tenth among the brothers, eighth in the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, and serves as the Seventh Vice Sect Master."
"Ba Wang’s Whip, Xiang Beidou, ranking twelfth among the brothers, ninth in the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, and serves as the Eighth Vice Sect Master."
"Eagle King, Xiong Jiang, ranking sixteenth among the brothers, tenth in the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, and serves as the Ninth Vice Sect Master."
Dongfang Sansan sighed and took a sip of tea.
He was as familiar with their names as if counting his own treasures.
He recited the names without even stumbling once.
"These ten people once turned the entire world upside down. Moreover, the most frustrating part is, no one could defeat the Sect Leader!"
"I’m afraid even if Xue Fuxiao, Yu Tianqi, Rui Qianshan and others joined forces, they wouldn’t be able to withstand a hundred moves!"
"Hiss!!"
Fang Che stared wide-eyed, drawing in a cold breath.
He didn’t want to lose his composure like this.
But after hearing these words, he couldn’t help it.
"That was the most frustrating period for the Guardians... because whenever we gained the upper hand, Zheng Yuandong would come out to cause trouble."
"After much difficulty suppressing him, he would appear again. The great situation would instantly vanish."
"Just when we were about to take down a Vice Sect Master, or a Great Demon of the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, Zheng Yuandong would appear again..."
Fang Che understood: "So you used the lethal Son-Cutting Plan?"
Dongfang Sansan sighed and looked at Fang Che with some surprise: "It seems you actually know quite a bit? Yes, because of this, I used that vicious plan. Forced him to go against the heavens and fight against the gods, since then disappearing into obscurity."
"That kind of plan goes against the heavens. But without it... there was no hope."
Dongfang Sansan sighed deeply: "The sacrifice under that vicious plan is a hurdle I can’t get over in this lifetime."
Fang Che couldn’t help but also sigh lightly.
He understood well.
But precisely because he understood, he couldn’t offer comfort.
"The current situation..."
Dongfang Sansan raised his head, a cloud seemed to pass in his eyes, and said softly: "Fang Che, if we truly have a day of victory... don’t forget the heroic souls of our predecessors."
"Yes!"
Fang Che stood up solemnly and agreed earnestly.
"Now, back to Yan Nan."
Dongfang Sansan’s thoughts returned, his eyes instantly clear like ice and snow.
"Yan Nan is considered a true Jianghu person. He’s clear about grudges, and won’t tolerate any deceit. He may not be a gentleman, but he’s a good man in his own right."
"For those he deems worthy, even if they are enemies, there may be a life-and-death struggle eventually, but that doesn’t prevent a brief camaraderie and forming a friendship."
"But his sense of vigilance always remains."
"He keeps his promises, has his own set of rules and responsibilities. Not completely upright, but he has a place in the Jianghu for settling grievances with his heart’s desire."
"Unless necessary, he won’t kill the innocent. But if necessary, he doesn’t mind the so-called innocence. So I’ve told Xue Fuxiao and Rui Qianshan before, Yan Nan is considered half a good man."
Dongfang Sansan said: "So, the key to dealing with Yan Nan is loyalty! Without reservation! Righteousness, with responsibility!"
Fang Che scratched his head: "The Wei Wo Zheng Sect, has loyalty and righteousness?"
Dongfang Sansan retorted: "Why not?"
Fang Che had no words.
"Yan Nan and the others have actually realized the harm of the Five Spirits Gu. However, that is the foundation of the Wei Wo Zheng Sect. So they have always been looking for ways to control the evil thoughts."
Fang Che was puzzled: "If they’ve controlled the evil thoughts, wouldn’t that make them good people? So why fight?"
Dongfang Sansan showed a helpless smile and said: "They only wish to control the evil thoughts of the Five Spirits Gu, not their own evil thoughts."
"Simply put: If I want to kill, it’s because I want to kill! Not because the evil thoughts from the Five Spirits Gu urged me to kill!"
"I want to kill those I dislike, but being pushed to kill by the evil thoughts from the Five Spirits Gu makes me uncomfortable! Unpleasant!"
"It’s just that I do things only because I want to, not because someone else requires me to... do you understand?"
