“Please send someone to kill Fang Xin!”
These words were written on the sand table.
Soon, the writing on the sand table was smoothed away by an unknown force.
Yanzhi held the burning incense stick, which quickly burned down a significant portion.
As the incense stick burned, Yanzhi’s hand, holding the stick, moved uncontrollably, using the incense as a pen to write a few words on the sand table.
“This is your mission!”
Yanzhi paused, then wrote a few more words solemnly, “My subordinate just misstated; please heavily injure Fang Xin! I will handle the rest!”
It must be said, Yanzhi’s handwriting was very delicate and beautiful. The incense stick she held between her fingers burned, its smoke curling gracefully. Normally, incense smoke drifts upwards, but the smoke from the stick in Yanzhi’s hand swirled in mid-air.
The burning smoke eventually formed the outline of a chair in mid-air, and a figure seemed to be seated upon it.
The words Yanzhi had just written on the sand table were once again smoothed away by an indescribable force.
Then, her hand, still holding the incense stick, moved uncontrollably to write a few words on the sand table.
“How confident are you?”
Yanzhi wrote on the sand table, “A Mangfu whose heart has yet to awaken to love. For me to win his heart is more valuable than to take his life!”
A few seconds later, the words Yanzhi had written on the sand table were smoothed away again. Yanzhi’s hand, holding the incense, once more moved uncontrollably to slowly write a few words on the sand table.
“Someone will secretly cooperate with you! If this succeeds, you will be heavily rewarded!”
Upon seeing these words, Yanzhi couldn’t help but smile, then wrote on the sand table, “Your subordinate will certainly do her utmost!”
She then knelt before the sand table, holding the incense stick with both hands, and kowtowed several times. She remained in a kneeling position until the incense stick had completely burned out before slowly rising.
Yanzhi put the sand table into her spatial ring.
She then walked into her room, took out a bath tub, removed her clothes, and stepped in. Admiring her graceful figure, Yanzhi’s lips curved slightly upwards, “Little Mangfu, I refuse to believe you won’t be interested in me!”
Fang Xin sneezed several times in a row, “Who’s talking about me?”
Turning his head, he saw Shi Tailang about to eat hotpot, only to be directly kicked by Zhang Yaozu. Bai Yulin and Shen Yu restrained Shi Tailang, while Li Bao’er held a bottle of super glue, apparently intending to glue Shi Tailang’s mouth and… well, his other end.
The zhilian device chimed, announcing that all Sky Shield Bureau team leaders and above (Battalion Commander and above from the Ninth Division) were to attend a meeting.
Fang Xin put the zhilian device in his pocket, sighing, truly, there were endless meetings after joining.
During the meeting, the Zhenbei Alliance, composed of various major organizations, sat together, and the Church people sat together.
On the podium, on the Zhenbei Alliance side, all the other white-haired individuals looked old and frail, except for Bai Mao Zai, a young man sitting there, wearing sunglasses, rocking his chair, and playing some ancient mobile game.
The leader of the Zhenbei Alliance was an old man named Wu Ying, who had a face full of righteousness.
On the Church side, in addition to the previously seen Envoy Lu Bian and the Holy Maiden of the Church, a regional supreme leader also came to supervise the battle.
As Fang Xin took his seat, his gaze shifted and he saw the Palace Master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace, Shang Tianque. It had been a long time since he had seen the Lao Se Pi Shang Tianque. This Lao Se Pi was noticeably thinner than before, but his true nature remained. His eyes darted left and right, subtly scanning the attractive members of the opposite sex in the room.
When his gaze swept over Fang Xin, Shang Tianque paused slightly, surprised that Fang Xin had risen so quickly. He then winked at Fang Xin repeatedly.
Fang Xin chuckled exasperatedly.
Wu Ying cleared his throat softly.
The noisy hall quieted down somewhat. Everyone on the Zhenbei Alliance side showed great respect to Wu Ying, falling silent, but some on the Church side were still whispering.
Bai Mao Zai slightly raised his head, and his bright white eyes behind the sunglasses swept across the room.
The people from the Church who were still talking felt a chill. Their eyes met Bai Mao Zai’s gaze, and they immediately fell silent. The meeting room became quiet instantly.
Bai Mao Zai adjusted his sunglasses and continued playing his game.
Wu Ying’s gaze swept across the attendees below, “Everyone, after several rounds of discussions between the high-level officials of both sides, it has been decided that in half a month, we will launch a large-scale counterattack against the Eternal Night Army. Using the Church’s large-scale destructive treasures as the main force for area-of-effect strikes, this time, all our forces will be committed. We must, in one fell swoop, drive the Eternal Night Army back into the Land of Eternal Night, so they dare not show their faces for a long time!
Today, I have gathered everyone here to make detailed deployments for the upcoming tasks.”
At this point, Wu Ying looked at Lu Bian, “Envoy Lu Bian, why don’t you make the announcement?”
Lu Bian smiled upon hearing this, “Old Mr. Wu, you are the most senior, please make the announcement!”
Fang Xin raised an eyebrow in surprise upon hearing this. Seeing people from the Church speak reasonably was like seeing a sow climb a tree.
Normally, these arrogant scoundrels would act as if they wanted to trample everyone outside the Church underfoot.
It seemed Bai Mao Zai’s instigation, which made various organizations resent the Church, had a huge effect.
Wu Ying cleared his throat, then assigned detailed tasks to each organization.
The Ninth Division, where Fang Xin belonged, continued its old job of infiltrating behind enemy lines, killing as many high-ranking Eternal Night Army members as possible.
During the meeting, everyone sat together and discussed the precautions for the upcoming tasks and areas that needed fine-tuning.
By the time the meeting concluded, four hours had passed.
As Fang Xin walked out of the meeting room, the Lao Se Pi Shang Tianque sidled up from behind, putting his arm around Fang Xin, “Xin Zai! You’re doing great! Brother, I really underestimated you. You’ve already climbed to Battalion Commander, and I heard you’re Old Master Ye’s eldest grandson! So all this time I thought you were a poor little fellow with no background or influence, but it turns out you’re the one with the biggest backing! From now on, you’ll have to let your brother cling to your coattails!”
“This coattail of mine is still a bit thin for now; I still need to rely on Brother Shang!”
“No problem, no problem!” Shang Tianque thumped his chest loudly.
Through Shang Tianque’s collar, Fang Xin noticed what looked like a footprint on Shang Tianque’s chest. He casually pulled open Shang Tianque’s collar and saw a small footprint inside.
“Lao Shang, how did you get this?”
Shang Tianque gave an awkward laugh, “It’s all that bastard Bai Mao Zai’s fault. Bai Mao Zai said that when the Holy Maiden of the Church absorbs Light Power, some Dark Power gets mixed into her body. This Dark Power isn’t something ordinary people can withstand, so every full moon night, she suffers a backlash, which is excruciating. She needs to find a powerful man to cultivate with her.
That bastard Bai Mao Zai told me that the Holy Maiden of the Church wanted to find a strong, graceful man to help her eliminate the Dark Power in her body through dual cultivation. But on the night of the full moon, under immense pain, the Holy Maiden of the Church’s mind becomes somewhat muddled, and she’s not so picky. She’ll choose whoever appears before her.
That full moon night, I washed myself till I smelled fragrant and went…”
Shang Tianque lit a cigarette, his gaze unfocused, his hand holding the cigarette trembling, as if recalling a terrifying past.
Fang Xin raised an eyebrow.
“Dark Power?” Fang Xin couldn’t help but ask. His Light-Based Talent had undergone many changes under the enhancement of his Slaughter Talent. In addition to the power of the sun and moon, a lot of black power surged into his body.
Shang Tianque nodded.
“That power seems to be the opposite of Light Power, and whenever Dark Power emerges…”
