Lord of the Night

"Baiyun Martial Arts Academy has mobilized. In the recent period, all fifth-year students have been on vacation to help guard the main hall and protect the safety of Baiyun Continent."

The old man snorted: "You still think of me as a fool? I don't know anything?"

"Don't worry about me. Others don't know, but you still don't know about me?"

Fang Che laughed: "How cunning I am."

"Hehehe... you are raping Jiji!"

The old man said: "You haven't been practicing in the martial arts academy recently. Have you made any progress in your cultivation?"

Fang Che leaned close to Old Man Shen's ear and whispered: "He's so handsome, he's at the peak of the first rank. Is it unexpected?"

"Damn it, it's so fast..."

The old man blurted out, and then he became angry and said angrily: "A handsome level is nothing! We still need to work hard!"

But this sentence, when blurted out before, seems a bit funny.

Fang Che laughed.

"Mo Ganyun and the other boys went out to do a mission. Before leaving, they came over to my place and told me to tell you if you want to ask about them. They went deep into the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain this time. It won’t be short.”

The old man said.

"That's good."

Fang Che breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid of such a brutal battle. Mo Ganyun and the others were not strong enough and would be killed if they participated.

"I also went to see some of your teachers. They miss you very much."

The old man said silently.

"I'm afraid they'll leave me here again." Fang Che smiled bitterly: "Last time, for four days and four nights, I was almost tortured. I was so scared."

"It will be difficult for you kid to have such a good thing again."

Following these words, Li Changkong and others walked in.

Bing Shangxue looked at Fang Che first when she came in. When she saw that he was standing tall and unscathed, he seemed to be more energetic, and he couldn't help but smile.

As a habit, he helped Fang Che smooth and straighten the wrinkled parts of his waist caused by the belt.

Said: "Why haven't you come to see us for so long?"

There was a hint of blame in his tone.

Fang Che smiled bitterly: "Professor Bing, it only lasts a few days... I have no time, will I be here soon?"

Everyone sat down with a smile.

Duan Zhongliu began to take out dishes from the package he was carrying and set a table.

He said loudly: "Open the wine that Fang Che brought, tsk tsk, that is to say, the old god has good wine here. Now I want to have a toothpaste, so I bought vegetables to drink with. The old man is stingy and does not do it every time. , Fang Che is here today, have a good meal and fight against the rich."

The old man said angrily: "Why do you want to come to Tiexuetai every time you bring a plate of peanuts? How stingy are you!"

Everyone laughed.

But the food this night was really rich.

The wine is also really good.

Fang Che drank until the moon was high.

Everyone returned home happily.

During the dinner, Li Changkong and the others kept talking about their fighting experiences, and even made gestures on the spot when they got interested.

Although he didn't say anything about the upcoming crisis, Fang Che knew in his heart what the instructors were doing.

So he also listened carefully and studied seriously.

Bing Shangxue had a gentle face, picking up food for Fang Che beside him, and whispered: "If you encounter danger, run to Baiyun Martial Academy."

"good."

Fang Che felt warm in his heart.

Even when I was walking alone on the street, I still felt that warmth that never left me.

midnight.

The cold wind howled.

The stars in the sky were blinking and shivering from the cold.

Fang Che ducked into a dark alley and disappeared.

…

This night.

The entire Baiyun Continent was surprisingly quiet.

Wu Ji Pawnshop.

It has been stable for a long time, but shopkeeper Wu always feels like he is hanging in his heart and cannot let go.

I and several apprentices were a little uneasy.

It can't be really gone, right?

If it's really gone...it seems pretty good, right?

On a cold winter night, there were big stoves burning in the rooms of the master and apprentice, which made them feel warm and cozy.

"Another day has passed. It seems like nothing happened tonight."

Shopkeeper Wu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Get ready to take a break..."

He hasn't finished a sentence yet.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Boom! Boom, boom, boom! Boom! Boom, boom, boom!"

The rhythm of one, three, one, four.

It is the Yixinjiao contact code.

Suddenly everyone's expressions became tense, and the four disciples turned to look at the master at the same time, with nervous expressions.

Shopkeeper Wu's face was tangled for a moment before he stood up and opened the door.

A gust of cold wind followed a figure in black rushing in.

Everyone was trembling with excitement.

As soon as a sign was lit, spiritual power was activated, a heart-shaped bright spot appeared, and the person's faint but extremely arrogant voice sounded condescendingly: "Yixin teaches the new helmsman of Baiyunzhou Branch, Xing Mang!"

"Meet the helmsman!"

Five people knelt down at the same time.

Fang Che glanced at the five people coldly, turned around, and sat down on the only Taishi chair in the room.

Then he crossed his legs.

He said indifferently, "You guys, you have a lot of leisure time during this period."

"Don't dare, we are always waiting for the helmsman to call us in our dreams."

"call?"

Fang Che sneered and said lightly: "During this period, our branch has been destroyed. I see that you are all relieved."

"I don't dare, I absolutely don't dare, the helmsman knows this for sure."

"Don't act with me."

Fang Che said coldly: "During this period, you know how much you should pay, right?"

"There are many of them and they are ready."

"Well, double that!"

Fang Che said coldly.

"ah?"

Shopkeeper Wu suddenly screamed.

"I said……"

Fang Che looked at the grey-bearded shopkeeper with cruel and cold eyes, and said calmly, "...double it! This time, do you hear me clearly?"

The murderous aura filled the air.

"Listen... hear it clearly."

Shopkeeper Wu shuddered.

Sensitively aware that if he doesn't follow the instructions, his head will fall to the ground in the next moment.

Weiwei went to get the banknote.

What was originally a fifty thousand tael banknote turned into a hundred thousand tael.

I was so distressed that I almost fainted.

"Please also ask the helmsman to check."

"Oh, this little money still needs some testing..."

Fang Che took it, picked it up casually, and said lightly: "Do you know the original helm, No. 6, Xiangyang Old Lane?"

"Know."

"There is a big courtyard over there, not far away. What kind of official's house was it originally? It has been idle for a long time. It is said to be haunted?"

"The Ghost Mansion, I know, that place is not far from the original helm."

"Well, I'll go inquire about the price tomorrow morning and buy it. From now on, that will be the new branch."

"yes."

"How much silver you need, I will naturally allocate it to you. Understand?"

"I understand, I understand!"

Shopkeeper Wu bowed in fear.

Only a weird laughter was heard, and when he looked up again, Master Xingmang in front of him had disappeared.

After being stunned for a long time, he said: "Master Xingmang...is gone?"

"Let's go, Master."

Shopkeeper Wu just sat down on the chair, his eyes dull.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Several apprentices were puzzled.

Wouldn’t it be a good thing to reconnect with the organization?

"You don't understand."

Shopkeeper Wu looked sad and shook his head slowly: "This Lord Xingmang... his methods are much simpler than those of the previous helmsman... Moreover, he has a murderous intention. I am afraid that in the future we will..."

At this point, I didn't dare to say anything further, so I just let out a long sigh.

…

the other side.

"Dong, dong dong dong, dong, dong dong dong dong..."

The starlight helmsman has knocked on the door of the fifth house.

"Dedicated to teaching the new helmsman of Baiyunzhou Branch, Xing Mang!"

"The next day when the ugly moment comes, I will do it in the ghost house! If you are above the level of Grandmaster, if you can't do it, I will be beheaded!"

…

"Yixin teaches... Xingguang!"

"Snapped!"

A human head was smashed into pieces like a watermelon, and Fang Che's cold voice said: "Do you have the right to speak?"

"My lord, my lord, we were wrong..."

"late!"

Bang bang bang bang...

Blood splattered.

Overnight.

Fang Che visited a total of forty hidden stakes under his command. And he killed a hidden person on the spot.

And the thirty-six families were divided into four directions: southeast, northwest and northwest. The other three are useful.

Collected a huge amount of four million taels of silver.

Moreover, he has successfully established an image of being "unscrupulous, cruel, ruthless, moody, and disloyal to achieve his goals."

Let the Thirty-six families act in secret, and they immediately obeyed the new sub-ruler.

"Otherwise, evil people need to be punished by evil people!"

Fang Che suddenly felt that being a villain was much more comfortable than being a good person.

If you don't like anyone, just do it.

And everyone is afraid of you.

Kneel down with a glare.

But when you are a good person, don’t just stare, but talk dry, others should not criticize you or not.

"No wonder there are so many evil people in the world. Because being evil has so few scruples."

Fang Che didn't expect one thing at all, that is, he actually had less scruples than the villain! ——When a villain kills his own men, he also needs some courage.

Or rather scruples.

After all, if you kill someone, there will be no one to work for.

What if I kill the wrong person?

But Fang Che doesn't even have this scruple: kill whoever he wants to kill!

A squinting eye will strike anyone with a knife.

…

On this day, it was an ugly hour in the early morning.

Haunted house.

There are many pines and cypresses.

Sure enough, it's a bit ghostly.

The starlight helmsman began to ascend the hall and click Mao.

Sure enough, all thirty-six families came. No one who was above the level of martial arts master dared to be absent.

I saw the starlight helmsman holding a long rope in his hand, and the other end was hidden behind the curtain. He didn't know what it was, but he was walking around with the rope.

"Gather everyone together this time to set the rules."

"As for us, since we are operating and lurking in the guardian's territory, we must abide by the laws and regulations. Therefore, if we can, we will not do things that are harmful to nature. This will facilitate long-term lurking."

All the shopkeepers' eyes widened.

This...is this what you, the helmsman of Yixin Cult, said? Is this what you, the executioner Xing Mang, who kills without blinking an eye, can say?

"Casinos, brothels and pawnshops...I won't say anything else. After all, this industry has been in business for thousands of years. It won't bring you much glory. But brothels must put an end to forcing girls into prostitution, otherwise, they will be executed."

"It's a casino... there's no one innocent who goes in, so that's what you should do."

"It's a pawn shop, it's a pawn shop anyway, that's all."

"I won't say anything about the restaurants and inns. Just keep running the business as usual. If you have anything to say, let me know. I'll let you make the decision."

"Don't think that because we teach with one heart, we can't be aboveboard. As long as we don't expose our identity, we will kill anyone who bullies us!"

"I support you! But if the monthly payment is less than a penny, I will kill you!"
