Chapter 1056 The Terrifying Divine Concealment Society

 

The Skygazing Bureau was completely silent.

Many who had witnessed Fang Yu killing Fu Han and then burning his subordinates to ashes with a single fire had pale faces and fear in their eyes, but also a hint of secret joy in their hearts.

Fu Han was dead!

This cold-blooded and bloodthirsty demon was finally dead!

The time since he had come to the Skygazing Bureau to replace Bai Konggu had been a nightmare for all members of the bureau!

Now, the nightmare was over!

Fang Yu could sense more and more people gathering around the Skygazing Bureau, wanting to know what had happened.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Yu glanced at Su Changge and said, “You can go make an announcement…”

A minute later, two figures walked out of the main gate of the Skygazing Bureau.

Su Changge walked in front, and facing the many shocked gazes before him, he amplified his voice with true qi: “My boss Fang Yu has eliminated Fu Han, the newly appointed controller of the Skygazing Bureau. Soon, Bai Konggu will return to the Skygazing Bureau. And the Skygazing Bureau… will follow the old rules and provide information for everyone as before.”

Hearing these words, everyone was shocked.

So the commotion earlier was caused by the confrontation between the infamous Fang Yu and Fu Han, the newly appointed, ruthless controller of the Skygazing Bureau!?

And clearly, Fu Han had lost.

“Another big shot taken down by Fang Yu…” Everyone looked at Fang Yu standing calmly behind Su Changge, with only deep fear in their eyes.

Rumor had it that Fu Han’s strength was no weaker than those ranked at the top of the Sacred List.

Yet after fighting him, Fang Yu showed no obvious injuries… this indicated a huge gap in their strength!

Just how powerful was this Northern Capital’s villain?

Was there no one in all of Yanxia who could deal with him?

…

After making the announcement, Su Changge followed Fang Yu as they left the Skygazing Bureau and returned home.

Upon returning home, Fang Yu first went to find Bai Konggu.

Bai Konggu was still lying in bed.

At his age, having suffered such serious injuries, recovery wouldn’t be easy even with the abundant life force in this place.

Seeing Fang Yu and Su Changge, Bai Konggu’s expression changed slightly as he tried to sit up.

“I’ve already eliminated Fu Han and his group of subordinates,” Fang Yu said calmly.

When Bai Konggu heard this, his expression changed dramatically, filled with surprise.

He had thought Fang Yu might be able to give Fu Han a hard time, but ultimately would find it difficult to kill him.

Because Fu Han was Wu Chenzi’s chief disciple.

Wu Chenzi must have given Fu Han some life-saving items.

But Fang Yu… had actually killed Fu Han, in such a short time!

How did he manage that?

“Once your injuries heal, you can return to the Skygazing Bureau,” Fang Yu said.

“…Return to the Skygazing Bureau!?” Bai Konggu was even more shocked.

Fang Yu nodded, saying matter-of-factly, “Fu Han is dead, the Skygazing Bureau now has no controller, isn’t it perfect for you to go back?”

“I cannot return to the Skygazing Bureau, the Divine Concealment Society…” Bai Konggu said with wide eyes.

“The Divine Concealment Society already sent people to kill you, and you still want to follow their orders? You don’t need to be that dedicated, do you?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.

Bai Konggu’s face still showed shock, but he remained silent.

The Skygazing Bureau existed only because of the Divine Concealment Society, which meant… without the Divine Concealment Society, there would be no Skygazing Bureau.

If he now returned to the Skygazing Bureau as its controller, it would be equivalent to standing in opposition to the Divine Concealment Society.

Aside from the potential danger this might bring… more importantly, everything in the Skygazing Bureau was provided by the Divine Concealment Society.

If the Divine Concealment Society took back those magical artifacts, the Skygazing Bureau would be unable to function and lose its purpose.

“I know what you’re thinking,” Fang Yu smiled. “You mentioned before that everything in the Skygazing Bureau was given by those old men from the Divine Concealment Society… but now, those things are in the Skygazing Bureau’s hands, which means they’re under our control.”

“Since we’re already in opposition, naturally we won’t return those artifacts to the Divine Concealment Society.”

“After you go back, just run the Skygazing Bureau as before… the only change is that the person you provide intelligence to… becomes me.”

Hearing these words, Bai Konggu looked at Fang Yu with hesitation.

“I know what you’re thinking,” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and said, “But given the current situation, even if you don’t go to the Skygazing Bureau, the Divine Concealment Society will find ways to kill you because you betrayed them.”

“And in your heart, you’ve been dissatisfied with the Divine Concealment Society all along, right… otherwise you wouldn’t have sent me intelligence multiple times.”

“Since that’s the case, why worry about so much?”

Bai Konggu’s eyes flickered as he fell into thought.

“Old Bai, don’t worry, since the boss wants you to take over, he can definitely keep you safe,” Su Changge spoke up from the side. “If he can kill one Fu Han, he can kill ten Fu Hans. Let them send more people if they dare.”

Bai Konggu glanced at Su Changge, then at Fang Yu, took a deep breath, and his gaze became determined.

“I can take over the Skygazing Bureau,” Bai Konggu said.

“That’s the way,” Fang Yu smiled.

Bai Konggu frowned slightly and said in a solemn tone, “But I still have to say, opposing the Divine Concealment Society… victory will be extremely difficult.”

“This organization… is a terrifying beast with many powerful members.”

“Those they consider enemies rarely survive.”

Fang Yu shook his head and said, “You can rest here for a few days, you’ll recover faster. As for the Divine Concealment Society, I’ll carefully review the information you wrote for me, and we’ll discuss it later.”

With that, Fang Yu and Su Changge turned and left.

Bai Konggu watched Fang Yu’s retreating figure with a complex expression.

…

After leaving Bai Konggu’s recovery room, Fang Yu returned to the rooftop of the bamboo building.

He took out the paper Bai Konggu had sent him, placed it on the table, and began to read it carefully.

On this paper were the members of the Divine Concealment Society that Bai Konggu knew about, along with some information about them.

Rest Zhenren, reportedly once the leader of a major sect, who left after reaching a certain level of cultivation and later founded the Divine Concealment Society with several old friends. His temperament was cold, like a smiling tiger.

As for his cultivation, Bai Konggu believed he had surpassed the Integration stage, likely in the early Tribulation stage, also known as the Great Perfection realm.

Wu Chenzi, Fu Han’s master, had a very mysterious identity, but many of the magical artifacts in the Skygazing Bureau were provided by him… his cultivation was likely also at the Great Perfection realm.

The Monk, this person’s full name was unknown, Bai Konggu had heard it once from Rest Zhenren’s mouth. From Rest Zhenren’s tone at that time… this monk, although a member of the Divine Concealment Society, was not very sociable, so Rest Zhenren’s tone was not friendly. However, Rest Zhenren highly respected his strength, so he should be a very powerful person.

Xuanren, Bai Konggu had met him once in Rest Zhenren’s compound. This person appeared quite young, with a pale face and no beard, emanating an elegant aura, more like a scholarly gentleman than a top cultivator. But during that meeting, Bai Konggu was not allowed to listen in, so he didn’t gather much information.

Old Bai, this person shared the same surname as Bai Konggu, and Bai Konggu had also met him once in the compound. This Old Bai seemed generous and open-minded, completely opposite to the cold Rest Zhenren.

But like Xuanren before, because Rest Zhenren forbade eavesdropping, Bai Konggu didn’t collect more information about Old Bai.

There were several more names after, but with extremely little information, just names heard from Rest Zhenren’s mouth, without having met them.

Fang Yu counted and found that there were nine people written on this white paper, most likely all members of the Divine Concealment Society, with status equal to Rest Zhenren.

Most of them had very little information, but Bai Konggu wrote that members of the Divine Concealment Society were rarely alone and inevitably had their own forces.

For example, Fu Han was a member of Wu Chenzi’s force.

As for Rest Zhenren… in previous years, he had appeared to trust Bai Konggu on the surface, but in reality… he knew everything Bai Konggu did outside.

So, who was helping him monitor Bai Konggu?

Naturally, it was a hidden force that Bai Konggu had not yet detected.

And the other members of the Divine Concealment Society were certainly in the same situation.
