Chapter 21 Serendipity Fan Tiantiao pondered.

"Fang Che's side must be given importance again. No matter what kind of lucky coincidence it was, the fact that the Yin Shen Gong personally participated in his Initiation Baptism is extraordinary. He must have something special, otherwise, the Yin Shen Gong wouldn't be so free."

"Indeed. If it were you or me, we might be interested in watching a genius exam, but would you be interested in an ordinary martial arts student exam?"

"No."

"That's the point, isn't it?"

"Also, this news clearly shows that Fang Che has already joined the One Heart Sect and passed the baptism," Chen Ruhai affirmed.

"Wasn't that already mentioned?"

Fan Tiantiao sorted out the intelligence, finally feeling a little relieved. He looked at Chen Ruhai with a distressed expression, feeling somewhat sympathetic. "Old Chen, although I don't like you either, I still have to remind you."

"What?"

"If you have time, go see the Dream Divine Doctor and get your brain checked. Seriously."

"Get the hell out of here!"

A few days later.

Midnight.

The Iron Blood Fortress, about a thousand miles away from Azure Wave City, was attacked by the One Heart Sect.

The Iron Blood Fortress is a force of the Warden Alliance, always guarding this area of peace, one in the south and one in the north with the Guardian Hall.

This time, the One Heart Sect had been planning for a long time and launched a large-scale attack, dispatching five Emperor-level experts and numerous King-level experts. Obviously, they wanted to uproot the Iron Blood Fortress with overwhelming force in one fell swoop.

The Yin Shen Gong personally sat in command, mobilizing a large number of One Heart Sect experts from nearby to arrive secretly.

This operation had been planned for more than half a year and was finally being implemented.

But from the very beginning of the attack, they sensed something was wrong.

Midnight.

The Yin Shen Gong waved his hand.

Immediately, experts launched an attack, flying into the Iron Blood Fortress from all directions.

With a bang, the gate of the Iron Blood Fortress flew into the sky.

A large section of the wall also collapsed instantly.

The One Heart Sect experts, like wolves and tigers, rushed in with their faces covered.

A loud roar resounded through the night sky.

"Kill!"

"Leave no one alive!"

The brutal battle instantly began.

In an instant, blood almost covered the ground.

A long whistle sounded, and countless figures rose from Iron Blood Fortress to meet the attack.

Immediately, long whistles, bell sounds, shouts, sounds of killing, and screams rang out in a chaotic mess.

Iron Blood Fortress was in chaos for a moment at the beginning, and the sacrifices were indeed not small; but as the manpower in Iron Blood Fortress rushed out, the battle became deadlocked.

Then the accident happened.

The two sides fought for no more than a breath, and suddenly the night was filled with shadows, and countless experts from the Guardian Hall suddenly came from all directions.

They joined the battlefield without hesitation.

Moreover, the lineup dispatched was very luxurious, and instantly launched a defensive counterattack! In terms of combat power, the One Heart Sect, which had been preparing for half a year, actually fell into a disadvantage!

Iron Blood Fortress immediately launched a counterattack.

Cooperating internally and externally, fighting with all their strength, and encircling them in an encirclement.

They almost made dumplings out of the One Heart Sect people.

Helplessly, Yin Shen Gong, who had been watching the battle and directing, and the three Great Offerings personally took action to resist the Warden experts, led their subordinates to break through desperately, and after a bloody battle, they fled with a group of their subordinates.

However, they also lost four King-level experts, more than a dozen General-level experts, and more than fifty Innate Grandmaster-level experts, who fell here.

It can be said that they suffered a great loss of vitality.

The magical thing is... the One Heart Sect originally concentrated its superior forces to raid, but in the end it turned into a breakout!

Although raid and breakout differ by only one word, but... this is not the same thing, okay.

Things that shouldn't have happened in the first place happened so bizarrely.

Everyone had one thought: a mole!

Afterwards, Yin Shen Gong was furious: "Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! Someone must have leaked the news, otherwise, how could the Wardens have arrived so timely?!"

But no matter how much they investigated, there was no clue.

At this time, a spy in the Guardian Hall sent a message: this matter was completely a coincidence.

It turned out that a legendary super-class demon beast Flame Red Fox was being chased and fled to this side, and the Lord of the Southeast Guardian Hall summoned several experts, including even several Hall Lords, who were chasing the demon beast.

And on that day, this Flame Red Fox happened to escape near Iron Blood Fortress.

So the Hall Lord led all the experts to sneak over to prepare to hunt and kill it, but at that time the One Heart Sect attacked.

Helplessly, the Hall Lord had to abandon the Flame Red Fox to rescue Iron Blood Fortress, but who knew that they would run into the One Heart Sect of Yin Shen Gong in action.

It is said that the Wardens were also very pleasantly surprised by this matter.

They actually hit the main target all at once, ah, the way this matter was handled, tsk tsk, it was really beautiful.

They successfully disrupted the One Heart Sect's operation, and it was an operation personally led and planned by the One Heart Sect Sect Leader Yin Shen Gong.

It was simply a surprise.

A huge victory that hadn't been seen in many years.

Right now, the Guardian Hall is celebrating their victory...

Although the Flame Red Fox escaped, being able to disrupt this plan and kill so many experts from the One Heart Sect is an unexpected and huge victory. It's much better than catching the Flame Red Fox.

It's worth celebrating.

Yin Shen Gong, upon receiving this news, was so angered that his vision went black. A mouthful of air was stuck in his chest, and he couldn't speak for a long time due to the tightness.

All the One Heart Sect's higher-ups had black lines on their faces.

Everyone felt like a mouthful of old phlegm was stuck in their throats, unable to spit it out or swallow it down.

Damn it, was it really such bad luck?! Such a huge loss, it almost hurt their bones and tendons.

You're telling me this is a coincidence?! "Something's not right!"

Mu Linyuan's identity was special, so he was wearing a mask during the meeting, but one hand was covering the hole in his head, his eyes sinister and angry.

When he was breaking out of the encirclement, he took a hit from a certain Palace Lord, and his head was instantly blasted with a hole.

If Yin Shen Gong hadn't rescued him in time, he probably would have been sleeping for good.

He hadn't suffered such a big loss in so many years, and Mu Linyuan was extremely angry.

"That Iron Blood Fortress was obviously prepared as well. All their experts were gathered together from the start. Otherwise, how could they have been so neatly all present?"

"This matter is also a coincidence."

Yin Shen Gong's lips twitched: "This was decided long ago. This day was when the Iron Blood Fortress people were most complete, because the Iron Blood Fortress Lord's son was about to have a grand wedding. They've been discussing the wedding, the safety of the procession, and the etiquette every day during this period."

"This operation was precisely intended to wipe out his family on the old thing's son's upcoming joyous day, gathering them together to be wiped out in one fell swoop, wanting to achieve such a result."

Yin Shen Gong said.

"Such a coincidence?" Mu Linyuan was dumbfounded.

"Sigh..." Everyone was like a deflated ball, their faces full of entanglement.

Yin Shen Gong had a gloomy expression, and said: "This time, our sect has lost face. The Night Demon Sect, Three Saints Sect, Light Sect, and Heavenly God Sect have all sent us condolences. And the guys from the other sects haven't gotten the news yet. But they will sooner or later."

"Condolences!"

Everyone had black lines on their faces, coupled with gloomy anger.

Were these condolences? This was mockery!

This was blatant gloating!

"The Night Demon Sect's letter said, congratulating Sect Leader Yin on his long-planned, triumphant return, raising a glass from afar to celebrate Sect Leader Yin's victory!"

Yin Shen Gong slammed the table and said sternly: "This Sect Leader can't afford to lose this face!"

It wasn't just Yin Shen Gong who couldn't afford to lose this face, everyone in the One Heart Sect couldn't afford to lose this face either! Everyone was about to explode!

"Too much! Too much!"

Hou Fang's thigh was wrapped in white cloth soaked with blood, and he was panting with anger. The mask on his face puffed up and down.

Yin Shen Gong's eyes flickered, and said: "Everyone else, withdraw."

Then only Mu Linyuan and the three Great Offerings were left.

After the clearing.

Yin Shen Gong then said in a sinister tone, "If I remember correctly, it seems that Night Demon and Three Saints once mentioned that they have geniuses in their hands? Preparing to go undercover into the Guardian Martial Academy?"

"There was such a thing!"

Mu Linyuan's eyes lit up.

Yin Shen Gong's eyes were gloomy: "Why should they mock us when we lost someone? Who is stronger than whom? Besides, now is a critical moment, we have failed once, if their seed wins the championship, they will be two steps ahead of us... Hmph... Hurry up and investigate, what is the name of their seed genius!"

"What does Sect Leader mean?" Qian Sanjiang said.

"They have geniuses, don't we have any?"

Yin Shen Gong said angrily: "When we know their names, order Night Demon to intercept them, no matter what, we must not let them get the championship!"

He said fiercely: "Tell Night Demon that if he completes this task, I will give him another two hundred contribution points!"

Mu Linyuan was stunned for a moment before he remembered that Night Demon was the alias that the genius Fang Che, whom he had just seen, had not yet used.

He couldn't help but twitch his face, and then he realized that the Sect Leader had directly bestowed the name of the Night Demon Sect to Fang Che.

How much resentment does the Sect Leader have towards the Night Demon Sect?

"Ahem, if Night Demon completes this task, he will have seven hundred contribution points. According to the sect's regulations, seven hundred contribution points already qualify him to lead a team."

"What if we give him a captaincy?"

Qian Sanjiang said: "We must treat geniuses with exceptional treatment. Maybe in the future, Night Demon's achievements... hehe, can still let us benefit from it."

"Then it's settled!"

"Settled!"

"Hurry up and investigate!"

"Okay!"

"Get some cultivation resources for Night Demon, natural treasures to improve his cultivation, tell him that this is a death mission, only success is allowed, failure is not allowed!"

Fang Che was cultivating, naturally unaware that because he had sold out Yin Shen Gong, a large wave of good things was coming.

He is now staying behind closed doors, cultivating with all his strength.

Today, Fang Qianyi went to the Fang Family and Fang Zhenghang to discuss the house. Now, as Fang Che practices, Fang Qianyi feels that her independent small courtyard is a bit small.

She wanted to merge the three courtyards next to it.

But the other three courtyards were already occupied, so Fang Qianyi went to discuss how to give her son a more comfortable training environment.

Night Dream was melancholy.

Going undercover by Fang Che's side was too smooth. The previous information was obtained so smoothly that she didn't even need to use her brain.

But these days, she found that there were good and bad points. The good point was that it was easy, the bad point was... this kid Fang Che didn't go out at all.

You go out.

Only when you go out to handle affairs can I follow you and get more information.

Why aren't you going out?

This afternoon.

Sun Yuan, whom he hadn't seen for five or six days, strode into Fang Che's house, covered in dust.

Blade King Sun brought a new mission!
