Monarch Night

Liu Hanshan looked extremely disheveled. Everyone was dumbfounded.

Damn it, how did we encounter such a bastard?

Doesn't give any face at all?

Turning hostile just like that, without any warning!

But now, that Great Demon from the Yin Shen Palace was behind Starlight, ready to communicate at any moment, making Liu Hanshan completely afraid to act recklessly.

Grudgingly, he said, "Didn't say anything."

Fang Che looked at him with an aggressive gaze, disdainfully saying, "Backing down? Just like that? Weren't you quite tough just now?"

Liu Hanshan swallowed his anger, "Starlight Master, please be polite."

The Communication Jade on Fang Che's chest suddenly lit up.

Fang Che immediately took it out, activated it, and placed it in front of Liu Hanshan: "Take a look!"

It was the earlier conversation.

"Reporting to the Sect Hierarch, Liu Hanshan from the Yemo Sect asked me to be polite to him, but I couldn't keep my cool! They are merely a Third Level Sect, yet they demand our Yixin Sect to show them courtesy. Their attitude is utterly improper!"

Below was what the Yin Shen Palace had said: "Tell them they need to be polite to you! They need to respect you! Just tell them this is a request from our Yin Shen Palace. Ask them if our sect master has face in front of them."

The words seemed soft.

But the underlying threat was simply sky-high.

Cold sweat immediately ran down the faces of Liu Hanshan and the others, dripping down.

Both legs felt a bit weak.

We... what virtue or ability do we have to receive a 'request' from the Yin Shen Palace?

Is this damn thing a request?

It's a Death Sentence!

Fang Che placed the Communication Jade back on his chest, his wolf-like eyes fixed on Liu Hanshan, and said calmly, "Liu Hanshan, did you see? Our Sect Hierarch is asking you if he has face in front of you."

Liu Hanshan's face had already turned wax yellow.

If the Yin Shen Palace had decided to kill him, even his own sect master Hai Wuliang wouldn't be able to protect him.

Perhaps even with one word, Hai Wuliang would chop off his head and send it over.

After all, offending the Yin Shen Palace for a King level figure is something even a moron wouldn't do.

"The Lord of the Yin Sect is mighty, earth-shattering, and as a little demon under him, I must follow orders unwaveringly! Whatever the command, even if I have to sacrifice myself. How can it be called a request... the Yin Sect Leader is truly... overwhelming the minor demon."

Liu Hanshan's body bowed, his forehead almost touching the ground, as he spoke, his voice trembling.

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, hitting the ground.

He was truly scared out of his wits!

Damn it... I'm still standing in front of the Ghost Gate here.

Fang Che said calmly, "Every one of you, what kind of damn attitude is this! Damn, if our Sect Hierarch doesn't speak, you all think you're the shit, coming here in numbers to intimidate me?"

Suddenly shouting loudly: "Intimidate me!? Think I was raised to be scared?"

Everyone took a deep breath and exhaled lightly.

They only felt their liver and lungs about to explode but didn't dare to act out.

Of course, Fang Che was unrelenting, glaring and pointing at each of them, eyes like a wolf: "You! You! You! All of you damn better behave! With one word from this Leader, not a single one of you will leave Baiyun State! What's so impressive!?"

"Who do you think you're impressing? Huh? Got guts? Damn, you're talking about headquarters and Yemo Sect, don't even think, whose territory is this!"

With a loud bang, Fang Che stomped his foot on the chair, one hand on his waist, spitting madly: "I haven't even arrived, and you're already drinking in my house? So damn carefree! Who gave you the guts? Who gave you the right?!"

"Also, how did you find my place?"

Fang Che glared: "Liu Hanshan, Liu Sword King! Damn, raise your head and look at my face! Keeping your head down, is there a flower on the ground? I'm talking to you! What's in your ears?"

Liu Hanshan, almost asthmatic from anger, said, "Starlight Master, I'm not one of your subordinates."

Fang Che said calmly, "In the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan, our Lord Yemo took first place, and Vice Sect Master Bi personally awarded us! Since then, our Yixin Sect moved from being a Third Level Sect to Second Level. We're a level above the Yemo Sect, Heavenly God Sect, Mingguang Sect, and San Sheng Sect we used to be on par with! Among the Five Sects of the Southeast, we wield authority."

He looked at Liu Hanshan, calmly saying, "You wouldn't be unaware of this, would you?"

"..."

"As our Yin Sect Leader, among the Five Great Sects of Southeast, even the Hai Sect Leader and others from the Yemo Sect have to show half respects to our Sect Leader."

Fang Che said slowly, "You and I are on the same level, both branch leaders, but there are hierarchies among sects. You, Liu Hanshan, say you're not my subordinate?"

He turned his head, looking at Baizhou Branch Leader Wang Zilin of Mingguang Sect, coldly, "Leader Wang, what about you?"

Wang Zilin was straightforward: "Subordinate Wang Zilin greets the Starlight Branch Leader!"

"Good! Deng Fangping, what about you?" Fang Che looked at another person.

"Subordinate Deng Fangping greets the Starlight Branch Leader."

Deng Fangping was sensible.

The current top priority was to remove oneself from the Yin Shen Palace's blacklist.

If Starlight complains again, this life would be over!

Fang Che laughed heartily, "Kekekekeke..."

This almost signature demonic laughter immediately sent chills down everyone's spines.

Damn... you really think you're a Great Demon with your borrowed authority?

Fang Che laughed for a while, then walked up to Liu Hanshan: "Liu Hanshan, what do you say?"

Among those who came tonight, Liu Hanshan had the highest cultivation and strongest combat power, exerting the greatest pressure on him.

So no matter what, Fang Che had to subdue this guy first.

Liu Hanshan was trembling all over, and could only say in a low voice: "…Subordinate Liu Hanshan greets the Starlight Branch Leader!"

Fang Che said calmly, "Your voice is too quiet, I didn't hear it!"

Liu Hanshan raised his voice, "Subordinate Liu Hanshan greets the Starlight Branch Leader!"

"Didn't you eat? Why does your voice sound like a mosquito? I can't hear! Understand?! I can't hear!"

Fang Che shook his head, his eyes challenging.

If you've got the guts, rebel, come on, rebel!

Liu Hanshan ultimately didn't dare to rebel.

He directly shouted loudly: "Subordinate Liu Hanshan greets the Starlight Branch Leader!"

Fang Che shouted angrily: "Damn it, why shout so loudly? My ears are ringing, couldn't hear clearly, what did you call? Liu what Shan?"

"Liu Hanshan."

"Liu what Shan? Say it again?"

"…Liu Hanshan!"

"Liu Han what?"

"Shan!"

"What Shan?"

"..."

Finally, after seven or eight times, the Starlight Branch Leader understood, generously saying, "…oh, Liu Hanshan, tsk tsk, you couldn't even report your name properly, are you senile? And yet you come to be a branch leader... I'm really afraid you'll mess things up."

Liu Hanshan had already been insulted to a ghastly pale, trembling all over, at this moment, he really had a mind to commit suicide.

Fang Che also knew it was enough, any further and this old thing might explode.

"Then I'll stop here, won't make things hard for you anymore."

Fang Che said.

Everyone was speechless.

Is this what you call stopping?

You've insulted him to the utmost!

If it continues like this, perhaps Liu Hanshan would rather die and take you along with him.

Apparently, you've realized it too.

Then Fang Che's expression changed, becoming welcoming: "All esteemed guests, why are you standing? Someone, take the seat, serve tea."

Only then did he turned around, his large cloak waving.

Proudly and authoritatively, he sat on his elevated throne.

Like a dragon coiled, a tiger crouched, with a faint evil aura, murderous intent apparent.

Neither light nor dark, seeming not to smile, seated high above with an amused look in his eyes.

With everything under control, Fang Che now had a complete plan in mind.

But... he still needed to continue to grind these guys down a bit!

The time was not yet ripe.

They were currently only afraid of Yin Shen Palace.

So he needed to further deepen their terrifying impression of him to proceed.

Acting as a Great Demon... I'm quite experienced!

"Everyone, please have some tea. This is my prized tea."

Fang Che smiled, raising his cup.

The rows of people below sat properly, holding their tea, looking at the crushed tea leaves inside.

All were speechless in their hearts.

Is this your family's taste? Your prized possession is this crumbled tea dust?

But they had no choice but to sip it, and still put on an enjoyable expression: "Great tea!"

"Haha, this tea isn't bad, right."

Fang Che laughed, "When you all leave Baiyun State, I'll give each of you two pounds of it, take it home for your elders to try this specialty of Baiyun State."

No need to mention how annoyed everyone felt.

If they took this junk home to honor their elders, they'd surely be kicked out of the house.

But still, they had to thank: "Thank you, Starlight Branch Leader."

"You're welcome."

With a warm smile, Fang Che said, "All of you visiting my branch today, truly brings honor. Yet there's one thing I don't understand, and I hope you can enlighten me."

"Starlight Branch Leader, please speak."

"My branch is newly established, extremely secretive."

Fang Che said, "I truly don't understand, how did you all come to find this place?"

Deng Fangping smiled, "Does Starlight Master remember Qiao Yishu from the Heavenly God Sect?"

"Ah ah... I remember, I remember!"

Fang Che immediately realized, smiling, "Brother Qiao and I hit it off at first glance, had a great conversation; that night, we opened our hearts, shared many things. I really look forward to him coming often."

Deng Fangping sighed, "Does Starlight Master not know, Qiao Yishu has already been suppressed to death by the Guardian Hall."

"Is that so? Did he die so quickly? Hahaha..."

Fang Che laughed twice, then changed his face, sorrowfully saying, "Such a pity."

Everyone: "..."

Damn, can your schadenfreude be any more obvious!

"Starlight Master, the location of your branch was told to us by Leader Qiao, after he left here that night, he informed us."

Since Qiao Yishu was already dead, Deng Fangping had no qualms about selling him out.

"So it was him! That ungrateful bastard! To think I had genuine feelings for him!"
