Monarch Night

We have to say, Bi Changhong’s mind works very well when he’s sober, summarizing: "So now searching for Wu Daotian at the headquarters is just a waste of manpower."

"Even if we go outside to look for him, he won’t come out unless he sees the Heavenly King Flute."

Bi Changhong said.

"Why do you say that?" Duan Xiyang asked.

"Because it’s very simple, the person Wu Daotian hates the most is me and Chen Gu, Bai Jing, Yu Han, Yan, Xiang Beidou, Wu Xiaoxiongjiang."

Bi Changhong said, "It was the seven of us who wiped out Wu Daotian’s brothers back then."

"So if he seeks revenge on us, he would target our families."

"Now, he’s not targeting us, only aiming at the Heavenly King Flute, it’s because his purpose this time is the Heavenly King Flute. So he won’t attack anyone else among us."

Bi Changhong said.

"Moreover, there must be a compelling reason and pressure for him to attack the Heavenly King Flute; otherwise, he wouldn’t give up on avenging us."

"And the only person in the world who can command him like this and regulate what he can and can’t do is Dongfang Sansan."

Bi Changhong said, "So this is the Guardians’ retaliation against Ning Zai Fei for what he did, without a doubt."

Chen Gu said, "But Wu Daotian didn’t know Dongfang Sansan back then."

"But who else in this world besides Dongfang Sansan can do something like this and control Wu Daotian’s actions?"

Bi Changhong retorted.

Everyone nodded together.

Indeed, although unreasonable, apart from Dongfang Sansan, there really isn’t a second person with such skills and capability.

Dongfang Sansan is truly going all out here — everyone had the same thought in their minds.

"So now, to deal with Wu Daotian, we still need Ning Zai Fei to come forward..."

Bi Changhong stopped speaking suddenly at this point.

Looking at Ning Zai Fei, lying miserably and on the verge of death on the bed, everyone was speechless.

In such a state, if Ning Zai Fei went out as bait, Wu Daotian would probably devour him whole and leave unscathed.

It was impossible for them to stop Wu Daotian.

Ning Zai Fei couldn’t hold out for that long.

"I’ll go!"

Ning Zai Fei sat up from the bed, his eyes bloodshot.

"To hell you will!"

Yan Nan pressed him down on the bed: "Are you in a hurry to die? Be patient."

He said, "Since Wu Daotian has taken action, there will surely be more to follow; if Ning Zai Fei never goes out, Wu Daotian won’t leave. If he gets impatient, he might even come in, and that’s our opportunity. Once we spot him, Duan Xiyang, make sure you are the first to strike and keep him here!"

"Everyone can attack together! This time, we don’t need to follow Jianghu rules!"

"Yes."

Everyone shared the same thoughts.

Against someone like Wu Daotian, what do Jianghu rules matter? If a fight breaks out, there is no need for words.

"How was Wu Daotian’s cultivation back then?"

Yan Nan asked.

He didn’t mention names, but everyone knew he was asking Bi Changhong.

"Back then, he could compete evenly with Bai Jing and once defeated the Baizhan Blade! With twelve moves, he broke Ji Hong’s ribs."

Bi Changhong made a precise comparison using his people’s strength.

Yan Nan breathed gently and said, "That was at least the strength of the Cloud Weapon List’s top four or five."

"Yes, before we surrounded Wu Daotian, he had lost to Rui Qianshan."

Bi Changhong left a loose end: "But now, after so many years, who knows what his current strength is. Judging by the overwhelming power of that one family-exterminating blow, it’s certainly stronger than it was back then."

"Let’s go out and discuss... Ning Zai Fei, take care of your wounds, don’t overthink things. If you need to go out, you need my permission!"

Yan Nan arranged for a few people to keep an eye on Ning Zai Fei: "Guardian Ning is not allowed to go out, understood?"

"Understood!"

Everyone left.

Ning Zai Fei lay on the bed, his eyes vacant.

A wordless anger and frustration welled up in his heart.

"I just took action once, and nobody died... What did I do? What did I do wrong? Is this Jianghu, is this still a life-and-death enemy’s position! What did I do wrong? Why is it so extreme when it’s my turn?"

Ning Zai Fei couldn’t figure it out.

I’m like this already, why won’t you let me go? Isn’t this over yet?

Even doing something like exterminating a family!?

Yan Nan and Bi Changhong, among others, went to discuss. And Bi Changhong, along with several Vice Sect Masters, had already begun taking urgent actions, relocating their families’ important figures without staying home.

And laid out a Heaven and Earth Net at home.

Waiting for Wu Daotian’s potential retaliation, to let him fall into his trap.

After all, the grievances back then were as deep as the ocean, and this couldn’t be prevented, if he could destroy Ning Zai Fei’s entire family, he could definitely come for their own homes, that’s certain.

Duan Xiyang and the Kuangren Halberd, along with a few Old Demons, did not participate in the discussion.

They went out.

Wu Daotian wandered not far from the vicinity.

Meetings are such a bothersome thing... who would be willing to go?

...

One thousand and five hundred miles outside Wei Wo Zheng Sect Headquarters, on a mountain, a woodcutter was cutting wood, doing it exquisitely, with a stone house of unknown age not far away.

Raised chickens and ducks.

Wu Daotian was convincingly disguised, well-prepared. As a veteran of Jianghu, he could guarantee that even if all of Wei Wo Zheng Sect’s bigwigs were in front of him now, they wouldn’t recognize him as Wu Daotian.

"I really want to see if Ning Zai Fei can hold himself back."

Wu Daotian was quite satisfied.

Thinking about how he destroyed Ning Zai Fei’s family with a single cut, Wu Daotian felt elated.

"Damn, it feels freaking good!"

"I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time!"

"Ning Zai Fei spent his lifetime wiping out entire families, maybe not a hundred thousand times, but at least eighty thousand, it’s about time he tasted this himself! I just didn’t expect that I would create this history."

Wu Daotian chuckled, chopping wood, laughing foolishly.

Wei Wo Zheng Sect experts flying around in the sky?

No worries, as long as Ning Zai Fei doesn’t come, I’m just a woodcutter!

That’s right, Wu Daotian never thought he had the power to charge into Wei Wo Zheng Sect Headquarters, kill Ning Zai Fei, and escape unscathed!

If he really did that, even if Xue Fuxiao and Yu Tianqi came together, they’d end up dead here.

But Wu Daotian had his own way.

Some things Guardians can’t do, but I’m not a Guardian, I’m here for revenge!

"To be ruthless to the enemy, cut grass and root; men, women, old and young, leave none alive!"

This is what Wei Wo Zheng Sect taught me!

So Wu Daotian has no moral burdens, reached Wei Wo Zheng Sect Headquarters, fully concealed himself, and inquired about the Ning Family...

Crack, one cut!

Then immediately hid and swiftly left the city.

You have experts everywhere, so what?

"Ahi yihi yo!"

Wu Daotian spat saliva into his palm, swung the big axe, a dry pine branch fell off as the axe cut into it.

As for rushing back?

Ha... I’ll never go back for the rest of my life. If Ning Zai Fei can hold himself, in two months I’ll pat my butt and leave...

Do you really think I have such great interest in this place?

Wiping out Ning Zai Fei’s entire family is a way to answer to the Sixth Brother...

As for Ning Zai Fei himself, Sixth Brother said kill him too but didn’t specify when, so just kill him slowly then.

Wei Wo Zheng Sect was in an uproar.

Wu Daotian was cutting wood.

The Sixth Fang was coaxing his wife.

Fang Che was cuddling with his wife.

The Guardians’ side was also exploding.

A lurker from Wei Wo Zheng Sect sent a message.

"Ning Zai Fei’s entire family was killed, straight extermination."

"The one who did it was Wu Daotian!"

This message got some people at Guardian Headquarters celebrating. It felt so satisfying!

Dongfang Sansan immediately understood what was going on upon receiving the news.

This Sixth Brother is truly a Sixth Brother, as expected, still has a trump card! Wasn’t this forced out?

Since you’ve exposed Wu Daotian, can he escape from me?

Watch me bring him over, obediently work for me!

Sixth Brother’s people are my people! My people are Guardians’ people!

"Ninth Brother is so awesome, when did you recruit Wu Daotian to your camp? We’ve never even seen him."

Yu Tianqi and Ningxue Sword came to gossip.

"Back then, Wu Daotian was sieged by Wei Wo Zheng Sect, it was our people who rescued him and arranged a golden cicada shedding its shell."

Dongfang Sansan said calmly: "However, though Wu Daotian is grateful to us, he never joined the Guardians. He only owes us a favor."

"So this time, I asked him to make a move, as a payback for back then."

Dongfang Sansan unabashedly took the credit for this.

A sense of delight filled him.

Sixth Brother, oh Sixth Brother, I’ll take the blame for you, give Wu Daotian to me.
