Chapter 1332: Chapter 59: Clues Are Optional, but Calamity Must Flow East! [2-in-1!]

After a long time.

The great fire of Qingyun Manor roared to life, and all the corpses were thrown into the raging flames.

An extreme stench suddenly spread out.

Everyone’s faces twisted as they scattered and fled.

But that stench made Fang Che’s eyes suddenly light up.

In that instant, a name suddenly surfaced in his heart.

"Shen You Sect!"

Since it wasn’t the Dream Demon, wasn’t the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, and wasn’t the brothel, then there was only this extremely mysterious Shen You Sect left!

He thought of the underground vault of Qingyun Manor, and those tunnels that extended in all directions, reaching out into the bushes outside the estate.

Even a skinny child would have a hard time squeezing through.

But certain animals could.

And to be rubbed so smooth like that, it had to be from something drilling back and forth in those tunnels for years on end.

Shen You Sect!

The Guardian side only had some blurry information; and even the Wei Wo Zheng Sect basically had no understanding of this sect.

Zhao Shanhe and An Ruoxing sensed Fang Che’s oddness and turned their heads toward him at the same time.

Then they turned back again, staring at the towering flames.

"The Dream Demon did it!"

Zhao Shanhe said.

"Yeah, the Dream Demon did it!"

An Ruoxing also nodded.

High in the sky.

The Heavenly King Flute had just flown here and almost got roasted by the blazing fire.

"Motherfucker!"

The Heavenly King Flute nearly started cursing out loud: "I tear open space once and actually pop out right in a bonfire..."

The corpses had already been burned.

The Heavenly King Flute hid in the air listening for news.

Talk like ’The Dream Demon struck’ was everywhere now.

So after listening for a bit, the Heavenly King Flute confirmed it.

It really was that old bastard the Dream Demon.

But the problem was: where was the Dream Demon?

The Heavenly King Flute silently withdrew from the air and, based on his understanding of the Dream Demon, started searching nearby villages.

"Within a radius of five hundred li, I’ll definitely find that old prick!"

The Heavenly King Flute was full of confidence.

He swept his Divine Sense open and circled round and round the area; after circling over a dozen times...

The Guardians’ people had already pulled out without a trace.

Yet he still hadn’t found the Dream Demon.

"The fuck is this... this is like a virgin taking a piss and spraying her fancy shoes—this is some freaky, cursed shit!"

This time the Heavenly King Flute was truly baffled.

"Since when is the Dream Demon this damn slick?"

So he made a few more loops, and still didn’t find anything.

He then reported back to Yan Nan: "Vice Sect Master, I’ve already checked out what happened at Qingyun Manor. It really was the Dream Demon’s work, but the weird thing is, I searched a thousand li around and still didn’t find that old thing!"

Yan Nan asked, "How long have these people been dead?"

The Heavenly King Flute’s heart gave a thump, and he said, embarrassed, "That’s something I neglected. Judging from the stench when I arrived, they’ve probably been dead for more than two days."

Yan Nan was speechless: "Two days after the Dream Demon struck, and you think he’d still be hanging around waiting for you to search him out? Heavenly King Flute, where’s your brain?"

The Heavenly King Flute repeatedly admitted fault: "I’ll keep searching, expand the range."

Yan Nan reminded him: "The Dream Demon took such a huge loss last time, he’ll definitely learn his lesson. His old pattern and territory might not suit him anymore."

"Got it."

The Heavenly King Flute really did get it.

So he started doing the opposite.

He kept going to places he himself thought were impossible.

The result... was of course absolutely nothing.

He got more and more annoyed as he searched.

"I’ll keep looking tomorrow. Tonight I still gotta spar with Sikong Ye... fuck!"

Dragging his exhausted body, the Heavenly King Flute whooshed away.

...

After Zhao Shanhe returned, he immediately summoned Fang Che over.

Fang Che stepped into Zhao Shanhe’s office and found only two people there.

Zhao Shanhe, An Ruoxing.

"This afternoon, what did you think of?"

Zhao Shanhe asked Fang Che, "Your eyes lit up just now—you clearly had a moment of epiphany."

Fang Che couldn’t help admiring him a bit in his heart. Truly an old fox—he even noticed that, and could hold it back and wait until now to ask.

Judging by this, Zhao Shanhe also seemed to have some ideas?

"I was wondering if this could be..."

"Hold it!"

Zhao Shanhe hurriedly tossed out a soundproof barrier, and across from him An Ruoxing was doing the same; barrier after barrier went up, turning this place into a secret space.

"Now you can speak freely."

An Ruoxing smiled and said, "Were you about to say the Shen You Sect?"

Fang Che’s head snapped up: "You two Chiefs also thought of the Shen You Sect?"

"Didn’t you notice that when you were questioning the forensic doctor, everyone except the two of us was sent out?"

An Ruoxing laughed. "Did you really take the two of us Chiefs for a pair of useless wine sacks and rice bags?"

Zhao Shanhe also smiled and said, "Maybe An Ruoxing is, but I’m not."

An Ruoxing chuckled coldly and shot Zhao Shanhe a frosty look. This old prick—giving you face in front of a subordinate here.

I’m going to your house tonight!

I’ll tell your wife you’re keeping a mistress outside! Two of them! And both mistresses were even pre-arranged by me for you!

"I did indeed think of the Shen You Sect."

Fang Che said, "But I’m not the least bit sure."

"Right, back in Baiyun State, you’re someone who actually crossed moves with the Dream Demon, so you know very clearly what people the Dream Demon goes after look like, so..."

Zhao Shanhe said, "But for this matter, we must pin it on the Dream Demon, and pin it on the Wei Wo Zheng Sect."

"Understood." Fang Che nodded.

"The Shen You Sect is way too mysterious. All these years, we’ve kept investigating, and still haven’t gotten a single lead."

Zhao Shanhe said, "If we expose the Shen You Sect, people’s hearts might immediately fall into chaos. The very mystery of the Shen You Sect already shows how terrifying they are. We Guardians and Guardians have been digging for so many years, and still haven’t even brushed the edge of their cloak..."
