Chapter 1334: Chapter 59: Clues May Be Absent, but Trouble Must Flow East! [Double Chapter!]

Fang Che said, "Folktales... A scholar on his way to take the imperial exams meets a beautiful woman and marries her, only to later discover she’s a fox spirit or snake spirit..."

Zhao Shanhe and An Ruoxing both rolled their eyes.

"We martial artists have never encountered such tales... It’s just a folk tale spread by ordinary people, yet you actually believe it? After all, a tale is just a tale."

An Ruoxing smiled wryly and said, "Fang Che, you’ve been quite exhausted these past few days. Qingyun Manor has been wiped out, and your mission during this period is considered complete. Go back and rest."

He emphasized, "As for the Shen You Sect matter, set it aside temporarily. This Shen You Sect isn’t something you can handle with your current strength!"

"Regardless, the upper levels are also investigating!"

"If we act recklessly and stir up a disaster... not to mention the entire Southeast, even chaos in Donghu State would be a huge catastrophe. You understand."

"You may not fear life and death, but... the common people simply can’t bear such impacts!"

Zhao Shanhe’s voice was very heavy!

"As for the absurd notion of a skunk becoming a spirit... haha... joke about it with us, but don’t say it outside."

Zhao Shanhe glared and warned, "If others think the Life and Death Patrol Group’s captain is a fool... it would have quite an impact."

"Yes, I take my leave."

"Remember to keep it confidential. Once you leave here, you know nothing!"

"Understood."

Fang Che left.

Zhao Shanhe and An Ruoxing were silent for a long time.

After a long period of silence, An Ruoxing coughed and said, "Old Zhao, do you think... could a skunk really become a spirit?"

"You’ve turned into a spirit!"

Zhao Shanhe glared and cursed fiercely.

Stood up and strode out!

Fang Che returned to his office in the Inspection Hall and shut himself in.

Deep in thought.

Shen You Sect!

It seems there might be a task at Wei Wo Zheng Sect to investigate the Shen You Sect?

The Guardian Headquarters can’t handle the Shen You Sect for now, but isn’t Wei Wo Zheng Sect still idle?

Fang Che considered this, because he also had to think about what if Wei Wo Zheng Sect strikes the Shen You Sect?

But later he thought... even worse, what difference would it make?

We may have no clue against the Shen You Sect, but this trouble must be diverted to Wei Wo Zheng Sect!

This is Fang Che’s core idea.

He simply took out the Communication Jade and activated the Five Spirits Gu.

Sent a message to Yin Shen Palace.

"Master, I seem to have discovered a rather significant secret!"

"Regarding what you mentioned last time about Shen You Sect, it seems I have some leads."

The message was barely sent with two sentences when Yin Shen Palace’s response came almost instantaneously, rapidly delivering several replies.

"You have news on Shen You Sect too?"

"This is a sect the Vice Sect Master wants to investigate!"

"Where did you get the information? No need to rush; detail to me how you obtained it. Don’t jump with each line, I need to forward it to the Vice Sect Master. This kind of significant matter, don’t be afraid to be wordy, explain in detail."

Yin Shen Palace was very excited.

Because he realized, Yemo had unexpectedly completed a task that others hadn’t even begun!

This Shen You Sect, the Vice Sect Master Yan has said before, is very keen on this kind of information.

Fang Che didn’t expect the Yin Shen Palace to react so intensely.

Organizing his thoughts, he slowly began to craft his message word by word: "Today, after the action at Qingyun Manor, I was summoned by Chief Zhao Shanhe and Chief An Ruoxing for an inquiry regarding the work. Due to the issue of a child’s disappearance, the trail went cold after Qingyun Manor’s massacre, so the next step in the work plan needs arrangement."

"Upon arriving, I suggested that the next step should be reorganizing the Guardians internally. After a discussion on the work, we talked about Senior Mengmo’s massacre this time. I also truthfully reported, because Senior Mengmo expended quite a lot of Soul Energy last time in Baiyun State, so this time it might be necessary for recuperation or healing..."

"Both Chiefs were very supportive of my statement."

"Then we delved into the strange happenings over the years, which led us to mention the Shen You Sect. It turns out the Shen You Sect is a sect that currently troubles the Guardians because they simply can’t be found."

"The Guardians’ intention in finding the Shen You Sect, however, is to see if cooperation is possible and to correctly guide them in their actions."

"Because the Shen You Sect and the Guardians share a common enemy, which is our Wei Wo Zheng Sect..."

"It’s said there is evidence, specifically about three hundred years ago, our Wei Wo Zheng Southeast Headquarters had two seniors, allegedly disciples of Senior Yingmo, who liked to eat various hearts... I don’t know if these two people ever existed... Later, these two seniors intercepted two high-ranking Martial Artists from the Guardian Southeast Headquarters. After a fierce battle, the two Guardians were heavily injured, almost getting killed..."

"At that moment, an expert from the Shen You Sect appeared, a man in black, suddenly appeared and with a single move, killed our two seniors and extracted their hearts. Afterwards, the two Guardians expressed their gratitude, but the other party explicitly said it wasn’t merely to save their lives, but because they inherently had an unyielding enmity with Wei Wo Zheng Sect."

"According to those two Guardian experts, the emerging black-clad individual seemed to have black hair growing on their wrist. Very peculiar."

"When asked for his name, the person said he was from the Shen You Sect, then vanished without a trace."

"Chief Zhao Shanhe mentioned that over the years, some immense experts from our Wei Wo Zheng Sect have mysteriously disappeared, typically blamed on the Guardians... But in fact, it wasn’t done by the Guardians. Although it can’t be statistically accounted for, many Wei Wo Zheng Sect experts were indeed secretly targeted by the Shen You Sect."

"I tried to casually probe for the location of the Shen You Sect’s main altar, but it seems even the two Chiefs genuinely don’t know, because they’re also troubled about how to contact the Shen You Sect. After all, they keep avoiding appearances and aren’t picky eaters, occasionally even engaging in unethical activities. Massacres of civilians have been conducted quite often."

"Thus, the Guardians have been secretly searching, and simultaneously accepting all actions the Shen You Sect does against us Wei Wo Zheng Sect, and accepting the consequences. For long-term plans..."

"And this matter, it’s said the order was personally given by Chief Military Advisor Dongfang Sansan, with the message sealed, prohibiting external disclosure, not even to their own Guardians and Headquarters, to avoid triggering internal chaos and preventing Wei Wo Zheng Sect from knowing, which might lead to significant backlash against Shen You Sect..."

"Currently, the Southeast Headquarters doesn’t have much information, but how much the high-level of the Guardian headquarters knows is unknown."

"Yet I believe... The existence of this Shen You Sect poses a substantial threat to us Wei Wo Zheng Sect. Even if we won’t immediately take action against Shen You Sect, precaution is necessary, that’s imperative."

"The origins of Shen You Sect are mysterious, with black hair on their hand, cloaked in black clothing, what exactly it is, it’s really hard to say."

Fang Che gritted his teeth, finally sending the message: "I suspect, could this Shen You Sect... be demons? If so, it would be a earth-shattering secret! A presence truly capable of shaking the foundation of Wei Wo Zheng Sect!"

"Some of the above are tales I’ve heard, and some are my own speculations; they might not be accurate. How to proceed, I hope Master reports this to the higher-ups, for early decisions." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Disciple Yemo, report over!"

Fang Che frowned, his mind as calm as ice and snow.

He didn’t even review.

After receiving the message, Yin Shen Palace did not reply to Fang Che immediately.

So, after a while, Fang Che opened his eyes and reviewed the message he sent out once more.

Perhaps there were flaws, but... he basically explained everything clearly.

Ninety percent truth, ten percent lies!

Now, let’s see how the Wei Wo Zheng Sect will respond to this Shen You Sect!

...

Meanwhile, Yin Shen Palace had already reported the message upwards.

"Reporting to Vice Sect Master, Yemo has gathered information about the Shen You Sect."

Then conveyed Yemo’s report word for word: "Please have Vice Sect Master review."

Yan Nan saw it first, then frowned immediately.

Read through each word carefully, then reviewed it several times again.

Furrowed his brow tightly.

Then ordered: "Summon Chen Gu, Bai Jing, Bi Changhong, Yu Han Yan,...Duan Xiyang and others for a meeting."

This order startled the messenger.

Because all Vice Sect Masters were gathered!

And Wei Wo Zheng Sect hadn’t had such a significant event for many years.

While Vice Sect Masters had gathered to drink many times, for a meeting... this matter is indeed of great importance.
