Hua Shi asked Fang Wei several more times in his mind, but Fang Wei had finally seen the young master's anxious look and couldn't help wanting to look at him a few more times, so she had no intention of answering him.
The servant opposite him was a little nervous after wasting time. He looked down at his transformed form and wondered whether he should change back. After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Fifth Young Master, do you want me to continue reading?"
Hua Shi then remembered that he had not finished his work yet, so he sat up straight, picked up a grape from the fruit plate on the table and threw it into his mouth, then nodded and said, "You continue."
Because he was interrupted so much, the attendant recalled carefully for a while before continuing, "Fang Wei's name first appeared in public because he was accepted as a disciple by the Lord of Fengyu Palace even though his spiritual sea was destroyed. He really became famous because he was later issued ten hunting orders by 'Erosion Bone'. Not only did he not die, but he killed ten elite killers of 'Erosion Bone', including three killers above the Xuanyuan Realm."
Hua Shi couldn't help interrupting when he heard this: "What is 'Bone Erosion'?"
The servant thought that his master rarely left home, so he didn't know much about the organization in Xuanqing Continent. He quickly explained, "This is the most famous assassin organization in Xuanqing Continent. Most of the assassins in the organization are ranked at the top of Xuanqing Continent. It is said that ordinary people have little chance of survival if they receive a hunting order, and the more powerful the target, the more hunting orders they receive. The hunting of Fang Wei was the only time in a thousand years that 'Erosion Bone' issued ten hunting orders, but even so, they still failed to take Fang Wei's life."
Hua Shi opened his eyes wide when he heard this. He knew that since the person the system asked him to investigate was called the Lord of Evil, he must have extremely powerful strength. But now, after listening to the description of the servants, the other party was much more powerful than he thought.
He couldn't help but feel a little worried, and asked the system in his mind: "This demon is so powerful, if he knew that I was investigating him, I would be safe, right?"
Fang Wei: “…”
The fifth young master of the Hua family doesn't know yet that the devil is listening to him ask this question.
He tried his best not to sound weird, and responded to Hua Shi: "Host, please rest assured. Fang Wei is dead. Host will not be in any danger."
Hua Shi was stunned: "Dead?"
Perhaps he didn't expect the system to let him investigate a dead person, nor did he expect that this person, who was so powerful, was already dead. Hua Shi didn't say this in his mind, but blurted it out unconsciously. The servant was waiting for his master's reaction, and when he heard him say this, he couldn't help but say, "What dead?"
Hua Shi looked serious for once: "Nothing, go on."
The attendant's story was interrupted several times, and he finally continued: "Fang Wei was only in his twenties at the time. No one knows why he was hunted by 'Erosion', and how he survived under the siege of ten hunting orders. Many things about him still cannot be explained clearly. It's a pity that this person took a wrong step and entered the evil path."
Hua Shi didn't care about good or evil, he cared more about... why did this person sound more glorious than him? Who was the protagonist?
Hua Shi did not hide these thoughts. When Fang Wei heard him say these words in his mind, she couldn't help but find it funny and then fell into memories.
He actually didn't expect that the fact that he was hunted in the past could be regarded as a legendary story, because in his opinion, it was not an interesting experience at all.
When he was being hunted, he was not as cool as others thought. The Bone Erosion killers were extremely powerful, and they were not good at head-on combat, but attacking secretly. They would suddenly appear when he was least prepared. Fang Wei was on his way at that time. Therefore, he had to prevent being poisoned not only when eating and drinking, but also when sleeping, coming into contact with people, and even sometimes going to the toilet, he had to look around carefully to see if there were any killers hiding. Thinking back now, Fang Wei still has the urge to destroy the Bone Erosion's lair.
The attendant went on to talk about what happened later, and Fang Wei withdrew his thoughts and continued listening.
The attendant said, "Those ten hunting warrants made Fang Wei famous throughout the martial arts world. Later, the Lord of Fengyu Palace died of poisoning, and Fang Wei succeeded him as the Lord. At that time, the evil ways were still in chaos, and there were many forces from all sides. He was swift and resolute, and his moves were ruthless. It didn't take long for him to develop Fengyu Palace into the number one force in the evil ways, and most of the other forces also belonged to His Highness Fengyu."
Hua Shi nodded in realization: "So he is called the Lord of Evil?"
The attendant replied, "Fang Wei holds an extraordinary position in the hearts of the evil sects. In the past, he was extremely powerful and almost like a god. Even though he has been dead for many years, until today, a thousand years later, when the evil sects mention the leader of the evil sect, there is still no one else besides him."
"It sounds like all the evil people worship this evil leader?" Hua Shi asked.
The attendant said, "Indeed, I heard that some people even built a temple to worship him."
Hua Shi said "Oh" with great interest, and said that he would go to pay his respects if he had time. Fang Wei, whose soul had merged with his, seemed a little helpless when he heard this.
From the time Fang Wei suddenly appeared in the world to the time he passed away, he left many rumors in the Xuanqing Continent. Even if he had consulted the classics and summarized them, it would take some time to tell them all to Hua Shi. So when Hua Shi realized that he had not heard half of the experience of the Lord of Evil by dark, he decisively chose to let his attendants go down and rest, and continue the story the next day.
Hua Shi seemed to have treated Fang Wei's story as a novel and even listened to it with great interest. The next morning, when he called the servants into the room to tell the story, he even had them prepare melon seeds, peanuts and tea in advance.
Fang Wei's soul, which had already taken up residence in Hua Shi's soul, also listened to the stories for two days. These stories were more or less different from what he had experienced that year. Many things were too exaggerated, and some were even fabricated out of thin air, but the major events were still consistent. This was exactly why he asked Hua Shi to investigate things related to him. He wanted to know some details of what happened that year through these records of him.
He also wanted to find out what happened in Xuanqing Continent after his "death".
Hua Shi had already known the final "end" of the Lord of Evil from Fang Wei, but he was not eager to know how Fang Wei died. He still listened to the story with relish until the servant finished his narration.
"Regarding Fang Wei's death, I have read many records, but I found several different records."
Hua Shi was just hearing the key moment of the plot when the attendant's words suddenly pulled his mind back to the present. He was stunned and said, "He's gone? He hasn't dominated both the good and evil worlds yet, and no one knows where his subordinates have been thrown away. And the sword, didn't he leave it with someone else and not take it back? Didn't he also say that he would go to see his friend's secluded place, but he didn't go. He just died like this?"
Fang Wei: “…”
He didn't expect that the person listening to the story was more involved than he was, and took into account all the things that he had not considered.
The attendant had not expected his young master to ask this question. He paused for a moment before saying with a wry smile, "Young master, most things in this world are unpredictable and it is hard to have a good ending. Otherwise, if the evil master had known that he would die there, he would not have gone to the abyss in the first place."
The place where Fang Wei was finally buried was called Huoyuan. No matter which version of the story it was, he was ultimately unable to leave there.
The Abyss of Disaster is one of the most mysterious places on the Xuanqing Continent. It is an abyss with no end in sight. No one who falls into the abyss can ever come back alive.
And Fang Wei, the former evil leader, fell into the abyss in this way, ending all the legendary stories related to him.
Among the stories recorded by various parties, some said that Fang Wei came to the Abyss of Disaster to investigate the cause of death of the previous Lord of Fengyu Palace, who was also his master. Others said that he was deceived by others, or was threatened, so he came here, or he was hunted by the righteous and had no choice but to flee to the Abyss of Disaster. But no matter what the reason, he finally fell into the abyss.
There are different accounts of how he fell into the abyss. Some say he was pushed into the abyss by his confidants, some say he jumped into the abyss because he was seriously injured and wanted to die, and some say he slipped and fell into the abyss during a fight.
Hua Shi was overwhelmed by these speculations and couldn't help knocking on the table: "Isn't there a more convincing version?"
When he heard this part of his story, he suddenly got such an unknown ending that he felt like there was something stuck in his throat.
Moreover, he accepted the task from the system to investigate Fang Wei's affairs. Now that he received such news, how was he going to complete his task?
Hua Shi shook his head and sighed. However, just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard the system in his mind say, "The mission 'Investigate the evil master Fang Wei' is completed. The host has little time left. Please complete the subsequent tasks as soon as possible."
Hua Shi was bewildered: "Ah? It's done? No need to find out the truth?"
He also wanted to know what the evil master said before he died!
Fang Wei did not respond. In his opinion, this was enough. He had already obtained the information he wanted to know. Moreover, no one knew better than himself what happened to him in Huoyuan. What he wanted to know was not the ending, but how much others knew about these things.
In comparison, he was more concerned about the current situation in Xuanqing Continent.
I don’t know how many of his friends and old subordinates are left now.
