Lord of the night.

Chapter 701 Ding Jieran [Additional chapters 55 56 for the Golden Alliance Leader Wise Haichen]

The general affairs leader had a look of 'I don't know' on his face and could only guess: "Did he kill too many would-be leaders before? But logically speaking, it shouldn't be the case. He wouldn't have killed a leader, right? That's a bit outrageous."

Yan Nan frowned and thought for a long time before he said, "Who among those who have served as the leader of a subordinate sect over the years has died in the past two or three years?"

The general affairs leader smiled bitterly and said, "Not many people died in the past two years. The Night Demon leader Hai Wuliang, the Heavenly God leader Kou Yifang, and one leader each died in the due north, northeast, and due east. But those directions have nothing to do with the Night Demons."

"Hai Wuliang was knocked off the Soul Devouring Cliff by Yinshen Palace, and Kou Yifang died at the headquarters. But Hai Wuliang is said to have appeared again, but the Five Spirit Gu contact shows that communication is impossible."

"Hmm?" Yan Nan frowned.

The general affairs leader said: "Hai Wuliang is alive, but Wuling Gu is dead. We are investigating this matter."

"What about the previous leader?"

Yan Nan asked.

"Among the people who used to be the leader, only one has died in the past two years. But it is even more impossible for the Night Demon to kill this one." The general affairs leader smiled bitterly.

"Who?"

"Law Enforcement Leader Bei Mingxin."

The main road of the general affairs forum.

Yan Nan was speechless.

Could the Night Demon kill Bei Mingxin? He just stood there and let him chop him, and even with his magic weapon, he couldn't chop him.

He immediately frowned and said, "Are you brave enough to make fun of me now?"

"My subordinates dare not."

"Go."

Yan Nan thought for a while, then sent a message to Yan Beihan: "Look for a chance to ask Ye Mo about the Five Spirit Gu. How did it reach level 2 before? Then ask Ye Mo about the changes in the Five Spirit Gu now."

"Ask for details. The more detailed the better."

"Okay grandpa."

Put down the communication jade.

Yan Nan picked up the pen and unconsciously wrote five words on the paper.

"Night Stalker."

"Five Spirit Gu."

He looked at these five words, puzzled.

"How did you do that?"

……

there.

Yin Shen Gong breathed a sigh of relief.

I know that this time, Vice Chief Yan is dissatisfied with me. But... as Ye Mo said, Lao Mu's death has always been a knot.

How can Hai Wuliang provide such accurate intelligence?

Who could Hai Wuliang know in this Southeast?

How to complete the Night Demon's mission? Doesn't Vice Chief Yan have any face?
Night Demon can't be at the bottom.

Besides, Gu Shanfeng and Guan Shandu…how many years have it been since these two guys completed their mission?
Even if we take a step back, they could have been killed... How can you raise the Gu if you don't eat it?

It has to be said that the mentality of Yinshen Palace has changed dramatically after Mu Linyuan's death.

This change was caused by what Mu Linyuan said before he left.

"Master, this martial world is no longer ours."

It's not our Jianghu anymore... so what? It can't belong to anyone else!
It belongs to my apprentice!
……

Fang Che and others asked along the way.

The nearest one... wasn't until we got close to the city that we realized it was Baixiang Island.

The seven people disguised themselves and easily followed the refugees into Baixiangzhou.

Then the six people split into six directions to gather information.

Fang Che found a teahouse and went in to drink tea and wait.

An hour later, Yang Jiucheng returned first, bringing someone with him: "Master, there are three Black Mist Peaks. There is one about 4,000 miles outside the city, another one 7,000 miles away, and another one about 8,000 miles to the west, near the Forest of All Spirits. This person knows everyone and can serve as a guide."

Fang Che ignored the guide.

"How did you find out?"

"I found a few people who travel around the country looking for treasures and selling them for money..."

Yang Jiucheng chuckled: "This kind of people may not know much about the city, but they are very familiar with the rivers, lakes, mountains, rivers, and seas. You can find out by just asking. Of course, you need spirit crystals to pave the way."

"Makes sense."

Fang Che understood.

Yang Jiuchen was also a weird guy. He found a place where many people from the martial arts world gathered and directly bid for 100 medium-grade spirit crystals.

"I just want some information! Whoever knows where Black Mist Peak is will get these 100 middle-grade spirit crystals. Whoever is willing to lead the way will get 1,000 middle-grade spirit crystals."

Then the news came easily, and even people followed.

The biggest waste of time is actually the time spent finding such a place.

Fang Che looked at the pointed-faced middle-aged man next to him, with greed flashing in his eyes.

"Hello, sir. I am Wang Jiu."

"Do you know Black Mist Peak?"

"Yes sir, I know all about the three Black Mist Peaks."

"Can you lead the way?"

"Yes, sir. However, in this blizzard, my cultivation level is limited..."

"The cultivation is fine, I can take you and run."

“This fee…?” Wang Jiu’s eyes flashed with greed.

Yang Jiucheng was immediately angry: "Didn't we agree on one thousand medium-grade ones?"

"My Lord, this Black Mist Peak is not close, and we have to find three...villains in a row..."

Fang Che interrupted: "Two thousand middle-grade ones! Lead the way!"

"Three thousand!"

As soon as Wang Jiu saw Fang Che casually say two thousand and then doubled the amount, he knew he had encountered a big fish.

"Okay! Then three thousand."

Fang Che still agreed without hesitation.

"Three thousand five!" Wang Jiu actually raised the price again.

"no problem!"

Fang Che said without blinking: "After finding Black Mist Peak, I will go to Nine Dragon Stream. If you even know about Nine Dragon Stream, I will give you 10,000 middle-grade ones!"

"Ten thousand middle-grade ones!"

Wang Jiu's breathing quickened, he licked his lips and said, "I know Jiulongjian too. I can lead the way!"

"you sure?"

"Sure!"

Wang Jiu was very confident.

"Okay. Wait a minute!"

Not long after.

Ma Qianli and others also came back, and almost without exception, they all brought back a guide.

Fang Che suddenly realized that his six subordinates were extremely efficient.

They are really six talented people.

Having six guides at once made things much easier.

"Find the real Black Mist Peak, and you'll get 3,500 mid-level items per person!"

"If you find the real Nine Dragon Stream, you will get 10,000 middle-grade items per person!"

"But let me be frank. If I find it but it's not what I want, then I won't have it!"

"understand!"

So everyone immediately set out from the city again.

This time, there were four more guides.

The four men, including Wang Jiu, were obviously veterans of the underworld. The other two looked somewhat honest, so Fang Che gave each of them fifty spirit crystals and sent them away.

Fang Che didn't care about the cunning and greed of the four people who stayed behind. He just wanted them to help him find the Black Mist Peak.

You can raise the price now by any amount, even an astronomical figure, and I will agree to it.

Anyway, you will be sentenced to death by then.

Soon, the team of eleven people was galloping in the snow and wind again.

The four guides soon regretted their decision.

Because they saw that the Night Demon Cult had actually swept through a mountain stronghold of bandits along the way, and blood was rushing into the strange blood bucket, which could not be filled.

He is a real killer who kills without blinking an eye. He is cruel and violent.

Suddenly, he realized that this group of generous and wealthy people were actually members of the Demonic Cult.

The four of them were so scared that they peed their pants on the spot.

The soul is out of the body.

But...now that it has come to this, how can we just let them do this?
"If we can't find Black Mist Peak, kill them all!"

Master Fang spoke cold words, his eyes shone with cold light, and his whole body was filled with cold murderous aura.

The snow is heavy.

"Mo Wang, how many days has it snowed today?"

"It's the fifteenth day."

Mo Wang said: "The Guardian Continent is probably under divine punishment. We have received news from our Weiwo Zhengxue that the heavy snow has stopped a long time ago. But on the Guardian Continent, it has not stopped. The accumulated snow on the flat ground is already more than ten feet deep."

At this point, Mo Wangdu sighed, "In the past, when there was a blizzard on the continent, the snow was only about three feet deep on the ground at most; even that was a rare snowstorm every few decades. This time, the blizzard on the Guardian Continent is almost more than the total of a hundred years, and it is still falling. I don't know how long it will take for it to stop."

“This is already destroying the world!”

Regarding this topic, Long Yikong, Feng Wanxia and others nodded silently.

indeed.

Mo Wang is right, this is already the snow that will destroy the world.

"But the guardians here are really awesome."

"For example, in Baixiangzhou, where we just went, the snow in the city was constantly transferred to the outside of the city and piled up into snow mountains. So many warriors were carrying snow blocks as big as small mountains and running out. In the places where the people lived in the city, the snow was constantly swept into piles for people to move away, and there was not much snow left."

“The roofs and other places are also being constantly cleaned and pounded.”

"The warriors are all moving the heavy snow... People outside the city are constantly opening roads into the city... This kind of thing is completely unthinkable in our Only Orthodox Church! It can't possibly happen!"

"They are holding on with human power, holding on to life, holding on to life together!"

Mo Wang couldn't help but sigh in admiration: "Master, to be honest, even if I really meet the guardians who come out to search and rescue, I have no intention of fighting with them or killing them."

He lowered his head: "This is a bit cruel."

Long Yikong and others nodded silently.

"If we meet them on the battlefield, of course we won't show mercy. But they were saving people... and we took the opportunity to kill them... It's a bit shameful."

Ma Qianli excused himself.

Or at the beginning, even though they had not actually encountered them, they still had no objection in their hearts to the defenders who were intercepting and rescuing civilians.

And there will be a feeling of "taking advantage of the situation to kill the enemy". You save people, we kill people, hey, it's easy.

But after a long time, this feeling disappeared silently. Even they themselves did not understand why it disappeared.

In short, they are unwilling to take action against the guardians who are searching and rescuing people in the wind and snow!

In the process of following the Night Demon for tens of thousands of miles in search of their target, they even prayed that they would not encounter the guards who were searching and rescuing the people!
I really don't want to kill them.

But if the leader encounters him, he will definitely kill him.

So don't find them!

Now, just in time for the leader to ask about the heavy snow, Mo Wang bit the bullet and expressed his thoughts. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he was actually asking Fang Che for help.

Fang Che couldn't help but feel genuine pride rising in his heart.

This is the Guardian! This is the Guardian!
They can make even the most evil super demons respect them. Fang Che's face darkened and he remained silent.

He said calmly: "It's too early to say anything now. Let's talk about it when we meet... You have the spirit of martial arts, and I, Night Demon, am also a warrior's persistence... But if they insist on seeking death, I will not show mercy!"

"The leader is wise!"

The six people felt relieved at the same time.

"But, Master, I wonder if you have noticed that as the snow has fallen, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth has become somewhat denser, and our cultivation has progressed very quickly during this period."

Mo Wang said: "This is the first time we have encountered such a thing in all these years of cultivation. Before, this only happened in blessed places with dense spiritual energy. But now, it seems that the whole world is full of spiritual energy. I am even close to reaching the ninth level of the Saint level."

Ma Qianli and others also nodded.

Fang Che had already noticed that as the snow fell, the spiritual energy became denser and denser, and his cultivation progressed faster and faster.

This blizzard seemed to be not just a disaster, but also a rare opportunity for warriors. However, this opportunity came at the cost of the lives of ordinary people.

If warriors do not undertake disaster relief missions, the chances of ordinary people surviving will be very slim.

"The opportunity to destroy the world!"

Fang Che sighed inwardly.

The four guides looked ashen, as if they had lost their parents.

They looked at each other and saw despair in each other's eyes.

This time, he is probably doomed. Not only has he encountered a demon, but he has also encountered a night demon that shocked the world!
All the way to Black Mist Peak.

Fang Che deliberately increased his speed and soon found the first Black Mist Peak.

Just as Fang Che expected.

The Black Mist Peak, which was not very far from the city, was indeed not the location of the Church of Light.

Cross it and continue to the next one with the guide.

But while they were speeding, Mo Wang suddenly shouted in surprise: "The snow over there is in disarray, and even the ground is exposed in some places... Was there a war here?"

Fang Che had already known from the Golden Horned Dragon that it was heading this way on purpose.

Landed and took a look.

It was a powerful monster, with a body weighing several thousand jin, lying on the ground, already dead. Its inner elixir and monster soul bead had been taken away.

There was also a large piece of meat missing from one of the hind legs.

But he did not turn into a mummy.

"There are warriors nearby."

Mo Wang checked it and gasped, "What a sharp sword."

"sword?"

"Yes. Three sword strikes killed the monster, and they should have been launched at the same time. Two sword energies penetrated the eyes and directly crushed the brain, and the other sword cut the throat and severed the larynx. It was very smooth! This proves that the person who struck the sword still had some room to spare."

"Not bad!"

Fang Che frowned as he looked at the sword marks on the monster's body and murmured, "There should be... only one person. And he is not alone, but traveling alone."

"Yes."

Mo Wang thought so too.

The Golden Horned Dragon brought news.

There were traces of people walking ahead.

"Chase!"

Fang Che and others turned a hill in an instant and vaguely saw a figure, which then disappeared slowly like a wisp of smoke in the blizzard.

Extremely fast.

His body movements were extremely light.

It just reveals a sense of loneliness and solitude.

"stop!"

Fang Che roared.

There seemed to be a loud thunderclap between heaven and earth.

The figure didn't even turn around and disappeared in the blizzard.

Fang Che drew his sword from its sheath, and his body and sword became one, instantly turning into a stream of light.

"Master, be careful."

Mo Wang and others followed closely.

The person in front was running very fast, constantly using the snowy terrain to make turns and run fast, leaving no traces on the snow, and was extremely agile.

Even if it was Fang Che, if there hadn't been the Golden Horned Dragon guiding the direction, he would have lost the chase long ago.

But during the tracking, Fang Che has already confirmed the identity of this guy.

This made him feel excited.

excited!

Good boy, you made me look so hard!
Ding Jieran.

Originally Fang Che thought that he would be able to see him at the former site of the Night Demon Cult, but he didn't expect that this guy didn't go there at all, but was wandering around in the martial arts world.

It seemed that he was not in a hurry to join the Night Demon Cult.

You really act like it!

If I, your big brother, wasn't the leader of the Night Demon Cult, I'm afraid even Hai Wuliang would have been fooled by you, right?
Fang Che was very satisfied.

I didn't expect that Ding Jieran, who has always been a taciturn person, would actually have such a mind.

Sure enough, the more honest people are, the more likely they are to lie.

Now that he has finally found this kid's whereabouts, how could Fang Che let him go?

After three hours of continuous tracking, Fang Che kept giving orders and finally trapped the thin figure in the snow.

In fact, Ding Jieran had run enough.

The few people behind him couldn't be shaken off no matter what, which made Ding Jieran realize that the other party might have a unique method.

Otherwise, I could have gotten away long ago.

I made up my mind and decided to stop and wait.

He was very impatient. During this period of time, Ding Jieran had been looking for the small leaders of the Weiwo Zhengjiao to search and rescue the defenders, and he had already wiped out a small sect.

Of course he knew that his mission was to join the new Night Demon Cult.

But Ding Jieran felt an instinctive resistance in his heart.

The Night Demon Cult leader, Night Demon, was the person Ding Jieran wanted to kill the most. That Night Demon had actually injured Boss Fang!

It’s simply courting death!

And I will surrender to him and serve him...

It's really annoying to think about it. So Ding Jieran is not very active in this matter. With the attitude of "follow fate", if you meet someone, you will join, if not, forget it.

Then I wandered around in the world, not knowing where I was. Especially after the blizzard came, I became even more lost.

But this is not a problem for Ding Jieran, who has profound cultivation.

Even if the weather was ten times worse, with his abilities, he could still live happily.

Fang Che dropped down like an eagle, and what came towards him was the sword light of Ding Jieran without saying a word.

Mori cold.

Ding!
Fang Che blocked the two swords with his long sword, and the two swords collided. Fang Che's body swayed, and Ding Jieran took a step back.

Then Fang Che's sword flashed, and seven stars shone in the snow light, falling continuously.

Ding Jieran was startled and suddenly stepped back.

Sharp eyes looked at Fang Che's bearded face and frowned: "Night Demon?"

Fang Che held his sword horizontally and looked at Ding Jieran coldly: "Who are you?"

Ding Jieran stopped talking, and his sword suddenly lit up like an explosion and stabbed Fang Che.

"court death!"

Fang Che became furious and drew his sword immediately, and the two men started a fierce battle in the wind and snow.

This battle took Fang Che by surprise!

How did Ding Jieran practice this? Not only did his foundations become complete and extremely solid, but his cultivation also caught up.

His current cultivation level is no less than that of Mo Ganyun and others, and his combat power is even better than theirs.

Especially the sharpness of the sword energy, that unique sword meaning of "desolate, lonely, and sharp" is even more unique.

Although Ding Jieran's cultivation has greatly improved, he is still inferior to Xue Yihonglai who once fought with Fang Che.

Of course, he is no match for Fang Che, who is now further ahead than he was then.

He was soon defeated by Fang Che.

The two men fought fiercely, and Mo Wang and others were watching nervously from the side.

Of course, the four guides were also watching, but... in their eyes, it was just two blurry shadows fighting each other, and they couldn't even tell which was which.

Fang Che wielded his sword as fast as the wind.

He was curious.

How is Ding Jieran, this taciturn man, going to reveal his identity as a member of the Night Demon Cult?

So I just kept chasing and chopping.

Because he can't take the initiative.

All the turning points depend on Ding Jieran himself.

dang dang...

There was a flash of blood on Ding Jieran's shoulder, and suddenly there was a flash of sword, and his body suddenly retreated ten feet.

Fang Che immediately gave chase.

"Wait a minute!"

Ding Jieran was depressed.

I didn't expect this Night Demon to be so strong... I really am no match for him. If I continue to fight, I will lose my life, not to mention the mission I am carrying.

He immediately yelled, "No more fighting!"

Fang Che smiled coldly: "You said you don't want to fight anymore? Boy, you will definitely die today!"

Ding Jieran took a deep breath and suddenly knelt down in the snow. "I am Ding Jieran from the Night Demon Sect, and I am here to greet the Sect Leader!"

Mo Wang and the others were all shocked, and then their eyes widened in unison.

Oh my god...what's going on?

Fang Che said coldly: "You are from my Night Demon Cult? How come I don't know?"

"I was a seed that was cultivated by the leader of the Eve Demon Cult, Hai Wuliang, and infiltrated into the Guardian Continent. However, when the Gu was cultivated, I was young and weak, and I never returned to the cult. Later, something happened to the cult, and we lost contact with them."

For Ding Jieran, it is really not easy to explain this matter.

Because he is a really taciturn person. He would not talk if he could avoid talking. It’s okay if he didn’t talk for a year.

Not speaking for a hundred years...it doesn't matter.

He is a lonely person.

It is too difficult to explain my origins in a long speech.

He even wrote these words on paper and recited them over and over again, but when he actually said them out loud now, he still stuttered.

Finally finished.

After listening to this, Fang Che remained calm and said, "Ningxuejian's apprentice? I don't believe you! You must be an undercover agent of the Guardian!"

Ding Jieran made up his mind and threw the sword aside.

He stretched out his hand and said, "Please ask the master to examine the poisonous insect."

"The inspection is not urgent, just be honest first!"

Fang Che snorted, and the long sword flashed. Four sword lights shot out, puff puff puff...

Ding Jieran's shoulders and legs were shot through, and he instantly lost all ability to move.

Blood is flowing.

The cruelty and ruthlessness of the Night Demon Leader is evident from this.

puff!
Ding Jieran fell to the ground on the snow, but his eyes were still cold and he said nothing.
