The night is deep and quiet.

Baiyun State is utterly calm.

Walking on the road.

Fang Che asked, "In the area around Tang Zheng’s home, have all the deceased civilians been accounted for and settled?"

"They have been accounted for, over nine hundred in total. Arrangements have been made for the City Guardian Mansion to handle the burials."

"Have them burned."

"Yes."

Fang Che thought for a moment and said, "There shouldn’t be much happening these days, so everyone can relax a bit, but the usual street patrol duties must be intensified!"

"Help to account for these families who died unexpectedly, check if there are any relatives left, and handle the handover of belongings and properties without any mistakes."

Speaking of which, Yun Jianqiu said, "That reminds me of something, because so many have died these days, some houses where entire families have perished were looted, with mobs entering to seize valuables. How should we deal with this?"

Fang Che smiled coldly, "Remember everyone, I issue this command: First, investigate how much these people looted and return double! If they do not return, imprison them. If they not only refuse but also resist, then no mercy!"

"Second, if you encounter them on the spot, order them to stop; if anyone dares to move after the order, no mercy!"

"Third, the leader, the initiator of the looting, is corrupting public morals. This cannot be allowed to continue; no mercy, to serve as a deterrent!"

"Fourth, if there are corrupt officials, no mercy!"

When these four orders of no mercy were issued, the night became even colder.

Everyone felt a chill: "Mr. Fang, isn’t that too extreme?"

"In chaotic times, heavy penalties must be used!"

Fang Che said indifferently, "In the future, such things will continue to happen. If everyone can plunder the properties of those who died out, if such a trend spreads, the continent will be finished."

"From our perspective, this all seems harmless, but do not forget, the people are the foundation of the continent! The death of others is not an excuse for you to seize their belongings!"

"If a family dies, and the property can be divided by strangers at will... If such things spread, haha, the state of the continent can be imagined. Therefore, the most severe means and the most ruthless slaughter must be used to nip these things in the bud!"

Just on the morning of the second day after Fang Che issued the Death Order.

Dongfang Sansan’s strict order was also proclaimed throughout the land.

"...Regarding the mobs looting..."

All the Deacons of the Guardian Hall twitched their mouths.

Because Ninth Lord’s strict order was even more resolute than Mr. Fang Che’s four orders.

And there were not only four.

There are a total of nine killing orders!

A murderous aura filled the air.

This showed how seriously Dongfang Sansan took this matter.

The City Guard, Guardian Hall, and defense forces all acted collectively.

...

Fang Che did not return to Scholar Residence until almost midnight and found the message from Yin Shen Palace.

"What’s the matter, Master? The work at the Guardian Hall is simply too much, all day today, I haven’t even had time to catch my breath."

Yin Shen Palace had been waiting all afternoon and evening, not only anxious but also a bit annoyed.

Annoyed, he asked, "What’s keeping you so busy? Haven’t seen any news for so long?"

Fang Che began to complain, "Master, you wouldn’t know, today’s matter is truly bizarre. It’s like entering through the door of bizarre into the realm of bizarre, it’s the most speechless thing I’ve ever experienced, never thought anything like this would happen right in front of me, it’s indescribable."

Yin Shen Palace became interested, "What is it?"

"The matter is still related to that Lord Dream Demon. This lord, you might say he’s cunning, he is indeed cunning. He infiltrated Baiyun State using a clone, and two Nightmare Guards protect the clone, outwardly saying it’s an old man with two concubines."

Fang Che said helplessly, "The problem lies in the disguise being a bit overdone, you see, this clone disguised as an old man is paralyzed, and these two concubines are crooked and ugly, with faces full of age spots, and hardly any teeth left, with heads of white hair almost bald..."

"We won’t even mention the problem of a paralyzed man having two concubines, but who would want such concubines? As the saying goes, marry a virtuous wife, and take beautiful concubines. How could these concubines, buried up to their eyes, even qualify as concubines?"

Yin Shen Palace was also patting his forehead nonstop.

The Yemo made a good point, dressing like this for infiltration, what the hell kind of disguise is this?

He said helplessly, "Exposed?"

"Not yet, Master, listen to me. I have a follower at the Guardian Hall, who follows me daily, named Tang Zheng, and Tang Zheng has an affair named Little Mei, who is always with him. And our Lord Dream Demon’s clone resides right next door to Little Mei. Little Mei takes care of him, which was initially a good thing, as having Little Mei could provide some cover."

"Then what did this lord do? At noon he released the Nightmare Soul to absorb the True Spirit, and absorbed Little Mei. Also absorbed thousands of people around, but those three elderly remain fine."

When Fang Che said this, Yin Shen Palace couldn’t help sighing.

What could possibly be on his mind...

"Then the most absurd thing happened afterward, Tang Zheng got off his shift and went to sleep at his sweetheart’s place, and when he entered, she was dead. He checked and found that all the neighbors were dead. Just those three weakest old men were unscathed."

"He immediately began to check more while walking out. After walking several hundred feet, then those two concubines realized and came out to chase him."

"The chase resulted in just one palm strike from a distance, thinking their cultivation was high enough, with such profound cultivation, such a strike should have killed this Early Stage General completely. Surprisingly, they didn’t even bother to check and just went back."
