## Chapter Guide

**The Gravekeeper is the Boss** (守墓人才是爷 *Shǒu Mù Rén Cái Shì Yé*) is the fifty-first chapter of Tong Yao's *Guardians of Night*.

## Summary

In the Underworld, Yan Wen wonders about the situation in the human world and observes the realm through the Eye of Dimensions. She is shocked upon seeing a bloodied Ximen Guanren. The Defender of the Left does not know who he is. The Defender of the Right informs him that he is the new generation's Gravekeeper, who will most likely become the liaison between the two realms in the future and thus the person of utmost importance for both the human world and the Underworld. He further describes what exactly Gravekeepers are.

Gravekeepers are special life forms intermediate between humans and demons. Throughout history, they have alternated their roles among the two realms, becoming guardians or demon generals to serve as ambassadors for their respective side. As a result of the new era, demons and monsters have mutated to no longer fear the sunlight, while humans have grown to no longer fear the night. Evolution led both species to become overconfident and arrogant, and as a result they would only show patience towards conspecifics. For that reason, negotiations between the two realms is more difficult than ever before. But Gravekeepers, who are beings that exist between the two realms are considered members of the same species by life forms of both worlds, thus making them the most sought after by the human world and Underworld.

Back to the present, the Defender of the Right notes that if the two demon lords were to displease the Gravekeeper, it would incredibly disadvantageous to the Underworld. Mentioning that the footage cut out, Yan Wen wishes to see what happened afterwards, and the Defender of the Left informs her that he will finish focusing his energy soon. The Defender of the Right mentions that even though the Gravekeeper is a guardian, they absolutely cannot provoke him, even if he kills the demon lords.

Looking through the portal, the three see Ximen Guanren being punched in the face as Che Yongtai loudly exclaims that him slaughtering people is none of Ximen's business. Xi Sha joins the assault, and the two eventually beat up Ximen Guanren for twenty minutes. Feeling exhausted and relieved of their murderous fury, the two leave a battered Ximen on the ground and depart. A speechless Yan Wen declares that she has had enough of the two demon lords and resolves to prematurely fix the portal to the human world even if it costs a pair of arms. The Defender of the Left and Right attempt to dissuade her from sacrificing her own arms, but she actually breaks off one of each of their arms and uses the Sacrificial Recreation Technique to recreate the portal, much to the two demons dismay.

Pang Dali

> *The clouds have blocked the sun, time to shine!***Pang Dali** before transforming in "The Great Guardian Has Appeared"

## Debut

### Anime Debut

Episode 2

Pang Dali is a bear monster who was a serial killer while disguised as a human.

## Background

Not much is known about Pang Dali's background. He was born as a bear, and eventually acquired spiritual energy and become a bear monster who is able to disguise himself as a human. He later became a serial killer and murdered people while traveling from city to city.

## Personality

Pang Dali initially appears to be a ruthless and merciless person who cares little about human life, as he claimed that he won't pull any punches if he were to beat up Ye Yan and warned Li Lingbiao to take care of Ye Yan's corpse if he ends up killing him.

In reality, he is a cowardly person who easily becomes frightened and submissive to those who are stronger than him, as shown when he escaped in horror after realizing Ye Yan and Huang Xiaoyan's true identities and even suggested becoming one of Ye Yan's Flag Demons while escaping from Huang Xiaoyan with him.

## Appearance

Pang Dali's human disguise appears to be a muscular man with white hair and black eyes, and sharp teeth that hint at his monster origins. He wore a black shirt and red pants, though they were later shredded after he transformed.

Pang Dali's true form is a large bear with white fur and yellow skin, and a dash of red fur in the shape of a bolt on his forehead.

## Abilities and Powers

As a bear monster, Pang Dali possesses abnormal strength compared to average humans, as he claims he can easily rip a human in half. He also possesses the ability to disguise himself as a human and transform back into his bear form when clouds block out the Sun, though this form is only visible to spiritual humans.

* **+ Pang Dali's strength
	+ Pang Dali partially transforming1/2Abnormal strength**: Pang Dali possesses extraordinary strength, as he was able to easily create a crater in the ground by punching it. The force of that punch was enough to send Ye Yan, who wasn't directly hit by it, slamming into and denting a wall.
* **Transformation**: Pang Dali is able to transform into his bear form that is only visible to spiritual humans when clouds have blocked out the Sun, therefore it can be assumed that this ability is partially prohibited by sunlight. He can partially transform into a bear by only transforming his upper body while his lower body remains the same, or fully transform into a bear, which is much stronger than his hybrid form.

## Trivia

Pang Dali's first name (大力) literally means "colossal strength" in Chinese.

Madam Wu

Madam Wu is a member of Chivalry Hall and the childhood friend of its fifth leader.

## Background

Madam Wu is the childhood friend of the fifth leader of Chivalry Hall, who is Bai Ning's grandfather. After he became the leader of Chivalry Hall, Madam Wu also became a high ranking member of the gang. 30 years ago, she started to abuse drugs and didn't get much sleep, causing her to age faster than she should, eventually reaching the point where she looks like she's in her 80s when in reality she's only 50 years old.

## Personality

Madam Wu hates being called old. According to one of her subordinates, anyone who calls her by an age group higher than "aunty" must be chopped to death. This resulted in Ye Yan and Li Lingbiao being chased down by her and her subordinates after calling her "grandma", believing her to be in her 70s or 80s.

Madam Wu likes young boys, as evident when Ye Yan and Li Lingbiao were trying to find a way to become members of one of the "Tyrant Trio" in Dong Guan, and the latter's friend managed to find a way through Madam Wu, claiming she likes young boys, especially high schoolers. If they manage to make her grow fond of them, she will take them everywhere she goes, effectively making them a member of the Chivalry Hall.

## Appearance

In her real appearance, Madam Wu is an old woman with white hair tied in a hair knot on her head, wrinkly skin and a mole on her cheek. She also wore a red robe and has a blue tattoo of roses on her left shoulder.

Under the effects of the Youth Pill provided by Cang Ri, Madam Wu regained her appearance from when she was in her 20s, turning her hair long and black, her skin smoother and her body more voluptuous. The mole on her chin also disappears.

## Abilities and Powers

Madam Wu has not been shown to have any fighting prowess, martial arts or supernatural ability. However, she was shown charging at Tianran Fei when Bai Ning ordered her and two other men under the effects of the Strength Pill to do so. She was also seen using a knife to hold Tianran Fei hostage so Hong Hong can admit defeat.
Chapter 66

## Chapter Guide

**Double Devils** (雌雄双煞 *Cí Xióng Shuāng Shà*) is the sixty-sixth chapter of Tong Yao's *Guardians of Night*.

## Summary

As the woman who assaulted Ye Yan flees from an angry Xi Sha, she notes that she is almost out of stamina while the "lunatic" behind her seems to be full of energy. Realizing that she will eventually be bitten to death when Xi Sha catches up to her, she feints tripping over in order to goad Xi Sha into attacking her. The demon lord takes the bait and enlarges her mouth to bite the woman, who smirks and holds her hands apart.

Meanwhile at the hospital, Wuren sends the drawing Ximen Chicken drew to Wang Shengli, along with an audio message asking Wang Shengli to call him after viewing it. Wang calls Wuren and explains that the suspect can switch sexes judging from the picture. He further explains that there are two options he knows of in which this technique would be possible: The first possibility is that the suspect is intersex and can freely switch between sexes, though this would not give them an advantage in cultivation compared to normal creatures. The second possibility is that the suspects are twin brother and sister, which would allow them to have a telepathic connection with each other and swap bodies within several Chinese miles, making them especially suitable for evil methods of cultivation. He notes that there once existed a cultivation method known as "Double Devils", where one of the twins specifically trains their defensive and regenerative capabilities while the other hones their strength and offensive techniques. He further explains that the "Defender" (防子) could survive being impaled and regenerate lost limbs, while the "Attacker" (攻子) possesses such overwhelming strength they could figuratively topple mountains and overturn oceans with a single strike. Wuren concludes that Ximen Guanren was likely injured by the Attacker, which Wang agrees with. The principal also mentions that the "C"s in the drawing might be some kind of marking on the suspects, and since a marking on an intersex person would not be mirrored when switching sexes, the only possibility would be Double Devils. He warns that no one in the Department of Night is capable of withstanding even one hit from the Attacker. An alarmed Wuren rushes to notify all the members of the Department to prevent further casualties.

Back at the resort, as Xi Sha is about to bite down on the woman, she uses her ultimate technique **Twin Dragon Blitz**, clasping her hands together while red energy emits from them and pushes them towards Xi Sha's neck, seemingly about to pierce it.

* Wang Shengli explains the abilities of the Double Devils cultivation method.
* Xi Sha is attacked by the Attacker of the Double Devils.

## Chapter Guide

**Caught Fronting** (装逼必被捉 *Zhuāng Bī Bì Bèi Zhuō*) is the fifty-second chapter of Tong Yao's *Guardians of Night*.

## Summary

At the Weekend Bathing Party for the Widowed Old Men Club, Wang Shengli's two elderly friends lament about their age, noting that buxom women with long legs are no longer attracted to them. As the three toast to the eternal friendship of the bachelor's club, part of the ceiling above their bathing spot falls down in front of them. Yan Wen descends from the ceiling and demands to speak with Wang Shengli. Despite his protests, Yan Wen drags him off without letting him put on his pants. Their unintentionally suggestive conversation, as well as Yan Wen's figure makes Wang's friends jealous.

Later on the streets, the two discuss the issue with the two demon lords. Wang Shengli, who is wearing a cardboard box to cover himself up, refuses Yan Wen's request to train the two. Yan Wen cites that as the representatives of the Underworld, if they cannot learn the ways of living in the human world, they're practically dead. Since it is inconvenient for her to stay in the human world and look after the two demon lords, she asks Wang Shengli for the favor. She even offers to "service" Wang Shengli to make him agree. Despite suffering a nosebleed from the seduction, Wang Shengli puts up a front and says that he is determined man who will remain faithful to his deceased wife and the principles of the Department of Night no matter what. Yan Wen then threatens to report him to the CCDI (Central Commission for Discipline Inspection) for having secret communications with the Underworld, forcing Wang Shengli to comply with her demands of training the demon lords as guardians. Wang Shengli reveals that he always had intentions of recruiting from the Underworld since the Three Great Guardian Clans may not have adapted well to the new era either, and that he only acted cocky earlier to gain benefits for the Department. He then asks if the offer for the "service" is still available, with Yan Wen replying that it isn't since he refused the first time. Wang Shengli admits his mistakes while promising to never put up a front again.

## Chapter Guide

**Not All Untitled Sages Are Guardians** (散仙不一定都是御史 *Sàn Xiān Bù Yī Dìng Doū Shì Yù Shǐ*) is the twenty-third chapter of Tong Yao's *Guardians of Night*.

## Summary

Ye Yan and Ximen Guanren demand that Gu Xiaohua explain herself. She teases them to not shout at a girl before weaving a hand sign and teleporting to the position of the talisman, causing her to land directly on top of Ye Yan. She then stands up and apologizes to Ye Yan while acting embarrassed and cute, feigning innocence by saying she is still inexperienced with her techniques. This successfully lowers the guards of the three men. When asked by Ye Yan to explain why she is using a zombie tag, Gu Xiaohua hands the talisman over to Ximen, stating that as a Gravekeeper he should be familiar with the undead. Unbeknownst to him, the inscription for an explosion tag is written on the other side of the spell tag. The spell tag subsequently detonates, knocking Ximen Guanren unconscious with the blast.

Gu Xiaohua sneeringly admits to using zombies to improve her powers and mockingly asks what Ye Yan and Wuren plan to do now that the only person who can handle zombie gas is incapacitated. She then summons two zombies at her sides and declares that she will turn the two into zombies to augment herself. The zombies begin to emit poisonous gas out of their mouths.

Three

Three was a member of Sun, as well as a swordsman and a Nightwatcher, though it is unknown which main branch family he belonged to.

## Background

Three was born in one of the main branch families of the Nightwatchers, as he is able to wield multiple Demon Flags, a feat only accomplishable by main branch Nightwatchers. At some point in his life, he joined the anti-Department of Night organization, Sun. Later on, he met Ye Lanlan and attempted to exploit her low self-esteem by provoking her to kill Ye Yan, but failed and was beaten up by her instead. A month before the current timeline, Ye Lanlan came to him and asked to join Sun, and was subsequently recruited.

## Personality

Three was manipulative and successfully convinced Ye Lanlan and Gu Xiaohua to join Sun, though both of them initially rejected him and beat him up.

Three was extremely loyal to Sun. However, he was ultimately killed by the organization after being framed by Ye Lanlan for attempting to murder her, a fellow Sun member, which is a taboo amongst the organization.

## Appearance

Three has long black hair and small eyes. He has a slightly darker skin tone than most characters, and is always seen wearing a green trench coat and a black shirt under it, as well as black pants and black shoes. He wore a watch on his left wrist, and a necklace which contained explosives that Ye Lanlan secretly stored in. After being injured by the Defender of the Left and the Defender of the Right, Three wore a cast over his right arm and had bandages on his face.

## Abilities and Powers

Three was a main branch Nightwatcher and possessed three Demon Flags. He also possessed a sword and seems to be somewhat proficient with it. However, he seems overall weak, as he was easily beaten by multiple people through pure physical strength.

### Weapons

* **Demon Flags** (煌妖幡): A Nightwatcher exclusive weapon, it is used to capture monsters, atomize their bodies into green smoke along with their soul and enslave them as Flag Demons for eternity. Flag Demons are capable of making themselves invisible and intangible by turning themselves into green smoke, they are also able to solidify themselves to deal a surprise attack. Nightwatchers are able to telepathically communicate with their Flag Demons within a few hundred meters. According to Wang Shengli, a Nightwatcher that can control more than four flags is able to store three Flag Demons at most in one flag.

* **Sword**: Three possessed a sword and attempted to use it to kill Left-hand Man and Right-hand Man. He self-proclaims to be a swordsman so it can be assumed he is at least proficient in using it.
Chapter 56

## Chapter Guide

**Who Stole My Heart** (是谁偷走我的心 *Shì Shéi Tōu Zǒu Wǒ De Xīn*) is the fifty-sixth chapter of Tong Yao's *Guardians of Night*.

## Summary

Standing on a balcony at a beach resort, a girl with long brown hair is talking to someone, remarking how fortunate she was to meet them during her vacation. The person she is addressing is a purple-haired man named "Yue", who has a blue crescent moon tattoo on the left side of his neck. The two express their love for each other and kiss.

The chapter cuts to a morgue, where the brown-haired girl's corpse is held. A forensic pathologist details that the girl is 17 years old, died 6 hours ago at the Guo River Resort, has no external injuries and exhibits no signs of poisoning. Wuren, who is accompanying the examiner wonders if the death is due to sudden cardiac arrest. The pathologist notes that the actual cause of death is related to the heart and shows Wuren an x-ray of the victim's chest, revealing that the deceased girl's heart is missing. Wuren realizes that someone is stealing hearts to "collect bloodstones", a slang for sacrificing human lives to cultivate one's power. A government official then appears, telling Wuren that the girl isthe third victim to die at the resort so far. He further notifies him that since the resort is an important project to the city, if the supernatural deaths were to affect the revenue for the resort and by extension the government's financial income, Xiahou High School's budget will be difficult to distribute by the end of the year. Wuren assures the superior that the incident will be taken care of quickly, who informs him that the government can only conceal the incident for three days, and the police will be involved afterwards, at which point Xiahou will lose their budget. Wuren immediately departs to inform the principal.

At Xiahou High School, Wuren tells Wang Shengli about the details of the case and that the serial killer specifically targets single young women. Wang Shengli laments about their three-day deadline, and since the school had to be rebuilt twice, the school will go bankrupt if they don't receive the budget. Wang Shengli then orders to have Huang Xiaoyan disguise herself as a tourist at the resort and lure out the killer since she fits the description of the victims. Wuren agrees and notifies that he already brought a swimsuit.

Some time later, Xi Sha demands to know why she was not given a swimsuit. Wuren tells her that the killer only targets young women, not children. This angers Xi Sha, who bites Wuren's head. Wang Shengli then orders all the guardians to head to the resort and buy their swimsuits there and instructs them to seduce the killer if they can, and if they can't, lie in wait to ambush them. The guardians then depart.
Huang Changling

**Huang Changling** is an Untitled Sage from the Hollow Jade Peak sage sect who is the granddaughter of Huang Yuanqing and the mother of Huang Xiaoyan.

## Abilities and Powers

### Techniques

* Sage Mind
* Great Clairvoyance
1/2
* **Sage Mind** (仙识之海): An exclusive technique for Untitled Sages and their descendants. Untitled Sages are able to store hundreds, thousands or even millions of different types of spell tags within the Sage Mind and summon them near themselves to use in battle. This technique is associated to the actual mind of an Untitled Sage, as Sage Hunters can encroach the Sage Mind and create illusions that specifically correspond with the Untitled Sage's mindset, causing them to either faint or die.
* **Great Clairvoyance** (大天机术): A forbidden technique that Untitled Sages that awakened their Heaven's Eye could use to perceive the destinies of everything in the world, even abnormal events outside of the timeline. Using this technique to see one's destiny poses no harm. However, when perceiving another person's destiny, depending on that individual's influence to the world, a proportional risk of losing all of one's power will be put on the user. A normal person's life would have an extremely low risk, while an important person, such as a time-traveller, would have an incredibly high risk.

**The Creatures That Saved Mankind** (拯救人间的生物 *Zhěng Jiù Rén Jiān De Shēng Wù*) is the thirty-fifth chapter of Tong Yao's *Guardians of Night*.

## Summary

Che Yongtai prepares to kill the humans around him using his Earth Spike Garrotte spell, but stops upon seeing three attractive women in front of them. Their revealing clothes causes Che Yongtai to blush and notice his increased heart rate. Believing that he is cosplaying, the three girls approach him while complimenting his armor and appearance. Che Yongtai blushes even more, and his heart begins to beat faster.

Meanwhile in the Underworld, the Defender of the Left casts his Eye of Dimensions spell, allowing him, Yan Wen and the Defender of the Right to surveil Che Yongtai. He prays that the demon lord has not caused too much trouble while expressing his reluctance to look through the portal, fearing that the human world has already been reduced to rivers of blood. The image from the human world comes through, showing two of the girls taking selfies with a heavily blushing Che Yongtai, causing the three demons to do a spit-take. The Defender of the Left and Right rant about Che Yongtai's immature behavior. While Yan Wen considers this an embarrassment, she does not blame Che for his behavior. She explains that having been sealed in the Blood Pool ever since he was reincarnated, Che Yongtai is still a sixteen-year-old boy in puberty who has never met a woman despite being the incarnation of a demon lord. the Defender of the Right refutes the statement, mentioning that Che Yongtai was with Xi Sha, who is also a girl. The Defender of the Left rebuts, saying that only pedophiles would be attracted to immature girls like her, all the while blushing, much to the Defender of the Right's chagrin. The Defender of the Right then brings up the fact that Che Yongtai met Yan Sis earlier but displayed no change in behavior either, and concludes that she must be too old for him to feel attraction. This angers the matriarch, who crushes his head under a boulder before turning her attention back to observing Che Yongtai.

Back in the human world, Che Yongtai thinks that the "creatures" around him have a certain cuteness to them, noting their supple bodies and the whiteness of their skin. He chooses to spare the beautiful women, but still intends to kill any other human. Noticing two men who were taking pictures of him and mocking his appearance, he prepares to kill them with his Mutilating Demon Hand technique, only to have his wrist grabbed by Ye Yan dressed in a costume resembling a flower, who asks if he is a fellow cosplayer performing at the metro station.

## Summary

Wuren asks Ye Yan about how he was able to locate them. Ye Yan explains that he followed the path of the core after it destroyed the tree he was trapped under. Wuren identifies the Double Devils as the culprits behind the bloodstone incidents. Ye Yan notices their purple hair and crescent moon tattoos, causing him to conclude that they are responsible for throwing a rock at him, beating him up with Che Yongtai and knocking Huang Xiaoyan unconscious, which the Double Devils
claim credit for.

Ye Yan leaps at the Double Devils and intends on punching them to death despite Wuren's warnings. However, Ye Yan surprisingly manages to knock the villains down onto the ground. As the Double Devils stagger to their feet, Wuren speculates that the Double Devils have not yet adapted to their newly acquired power. Taking advantage of their weakness, Ye Yan mercilessly pummels the Double Devils with a barrage of punches.

Ximen Lan

Ximen Lan was a Gravekeeper and the ancestor of Ximen Guanren and Ximen Ruxin. He was the representative of the main branch Gravekeeper clan before 1860, and was Ximen Lianyin's predecessor.

## Background

Before 1860, Ximen Lan was the representative of the main branch Gravekeeper clan. Instead of becoming a guardian in the Department of Night, he chose to serve as a demon general in the Underworld. He would eventually become the most trusted aide to the previous incarnation of Xi Sha who was then the ruler of the Underworld by helping her quickly put down uprisings against her and managing her daily life. The two eventually developed a romantic relationship, though it ended when Xi Sha revealed to Ximen Lan that she had Y'Shari as her other lover. Leaving Xi Sha, Ximen Lan eventually joined the terrorist revolutionary organization Bloodstain in order to learn about the time of their assassination attempt on Xi Sha's life so that he could collect her corpse when she dies.

He was seen wearing the Gravekeeper black robe while serving Xi Sha, and a black hooded cloak during the assassination attempt against her.

## Chapter Guide

**A Principal Is Still Your Superior!** (别拿校长不当领导! *Bié Ná Xiào Zhǎng Bù Dāng Lǐng Dǎo!*) is the sixteenth chapter of Tong Yao's *Guardians of Night*.

## Summary

The chapter opens with Ximen Guanren analyzing Li Lingbiao while he is unconscious. He recognizes his school uniform to be that of Xiahou's and notes his spiritual power, concluding that he is "quality material". He then wonders why Li is unconscious before noticing his pants wet with urine. Li Lingbiao wakes up and sees Ximen Guanren, angrily asking what he is doing. Ximen then faces Li Lingbiao while asking if he's too old to be wetting his pants, scaring Li back into unconsciousnes with his ghastly appearance.

Meanwhile, as Wang Shengli intercepts the duel between Ye Yan and Huang Xiaoyan, Wuren praises his form and speed. However, before the principal could introduce himself, he is immediately attacked by the two guardians who believed he was trying to sneak attack them, knocking him out of the air and causing him to fall onto the ground. As Ye Yan and Huang Xiaoyan land on the ground, they wonder who the person they attacked was before assuming it was the other's helper. As they prepare to fight again, they suddenly experienced paralysis throughout their bodies. The two discover that they have been pierced with silver needles at their necks and realize that it was done by Wang Shengli.

As Wuren helps the principal up from the ground, he prepares to introduce him before being interrupted by Ye Yan and Huang Xiaoyan, who believe he is a fellow fighter that interrupted their battle who presumed on his seniority. Wuren then reveals Wang's identity as Xiahou High School's principal, though the two guardians argue that it is currently after-school hours and the principal has no right to interfere with students' out-of-class activities. Having had enough, Wang Shengli reveals his secret identity as the current Minister of the Department of Night while presenting his Purple-Gold Token. Ye Yan and Huang Xiaoyan recognize the token and finally begin to treat Wang Shengli with respect. Wang Shengli lashes out at the two for knocking out his teeth and not respecting the elderly. He then reveals that the current Department of Night is Xiahou High School's student council, before ordering the two to report to his office tomorrow and prepare to be dispatched.

## Chapter Guide

**You're Still Stronger...** (还是你大... *Hái Shì Nǐ Dà...*) is the twenty-seventh chapter of Tong Yao's *Guardians of Night*.

## Summary

Gu Xiaohua shoots her Star Shattering Iron Gourd at Huang Xiaoyan while Ye Yan exclaims that the latter would die from being hit by it from that close of a range. However, Huang Xiaoyan manages to deflect the gourd with her Tai Chi Cloud Hands and redirect it upwards, shocking Gu Xiaohua. Wuren praises her technique, but Ye Yan notices that her hands are trembling as a result of intercepting the magical weapon. Huang Xiaoyan then denounces Gu Xiaohua for her unforgivable crimes of dishonesty and mass murder and prepares to execute her, with Gu Xiaohua mockingly telling her to kill her if she can as she enlarges her right hand and punches Huang Xiaoyan with it. Wuren and Ye Yan notice the similarity between Gu's technique and Ximen Guanren's, though the latter quickly realizes Gu Xiaohua also increased her entire body to gigantic levels.

A gigantified Gu Xiaohua stomps down on Huang Xiaoyan, who swiftly dodges it as the foot crushes the roof of the building they were standing on. Ye Yan asks Huang Xiaoyan to help him stall Gu Xiahoua while Wuren looks for reinforcements, but Huang Xiaoyan insists to stop Gu herself and refuses to receive help. She then uses her Million Seal Formation and fires countless command tags at Gu Xiaohua, who swats them away with her arm. The giant Untitled Sage comments that spell tags do nothing but tickle her due to her current durability. Gu Xiaohua then notes that she had to convert half of her stored zombie gas in order to use the Gigantification Spell and angrily declares that she will kill the three guardians and convert them into zombie gas as compensation.

Huang Xiaoyan uses Million Seal Formation once again and bombards Gu Xiaohua, who guards herself with her arms and tells the former to stop resisting, as spell tags are useless against her. However, she then notices that the talismans sticking to her arms are stun tags. Huang Xiaoyan reveals that she is using the Million Seal Giant Binding Formation to lock Gu Xiaohua's movements. Ye Yan notes that the spell could only stop Gu for a few minutes at most, with Huang noting that it would be plenty of time as she opens her Heaven's Eye while piercing her right wrist with her fingers and drawing blood from it. She then manipulates the stream of blood to fly above herself as light begins to gather around her.

Wenjian Xian

**Wenjian Xian** (『稳健仙』 *Wěnjiàn xiān*) is an Untitled Sage from the Myriad Stars Peak main Sage Sanctum.

## Background

Wenjian Xian is an Untitled Sage born and raised in the Myriad Stars Peak main sanctum. She apprenticed under Grand Master Qingdeng, becoming a senior to Xinghuo and Huamu Xian. Eventually, she would be sent by her master to participate in the Untitled Sage competition in Bozhou along with her two junior apprentices.

## Personality

Wenjian Xian is prideful, as she rudely addressed Qingfeng upon meeting her.

Wenjian Xian greatly fears death. To prevent herself from dying or even being hurt, she specifically trained to maximise her defensive capabilities.

## Appearance

Wenjian Xian is a voluptuous girl with green eyes and green hair braided into three bun on top of her head. She wears a green ancient Chinese dress worn by women in the Tang dynasty.

## Abilities

### Untitled Sage exclusive techniques

* **Sage Mind** (仙识之海): An exclusive technique for Untitled Sages and their descendants. Untitled Sages are able to store hundreds, thousands or even millions of different types of spell tags within the Sage Mind and summon them near themselves to use in battle. This technique is associated to the actual mind of an Untitled Sage, as Sage Hunters can encroach the Sage Mind and create illusions that specifically correspond with the Untitled Sage's mindset, causing them to either faint or die.

### Wenjian's techniques

* **Dome Shield**: Wenjian can create a blue dome shield with hexagon patterns around herself that protects her from harm by sitting on the ground and making a meditation pose. The barrier is nearly impervious to all forms of damage, as several people with impressive attack power have completely exhausted themselves trying to break it to no avail. In fact, Wenjian notes that the only person capable of breaching the shield's defenses in her generation is Yinluan and her Signless Wave Blade.
* **Damage Immunity**: Wenjian specifically trained her own body to be resistant to all forms of damage. She is noted to be fully resistant to ice, fire, lightning, wood, and poison elemental attacks, as well as concussive force and psychic damage that targets her soul. As a result, even if an attack were to bypass her shield, she can remain unaffected.
* **Enhanced Lung Capacity**: Wenjian has an extraordinary lung capacity, as she was able to hold her breath in a vacuum for twenty-five minutes.

**My Friends Welcome You** (小伙伴们欢迎你 *Xiǎo Huǒ Bàn Men Huān Yíng Nǐ*) is the thirteenth chapter of Tong Yao's *Guardians of Night*.

## Summary

The two monster sisters recognize the Soul Gong and immediately identify Ye Yan as a Nightwatcher. He introduces himself, remarking that small-fry monsters like them probably never heard of his name. Realizing that they are up against a guardian, the two monsters beg for mercy. The older sister attempts to lie to Ye Yan by stating that they are first offenders. He exposes her lie by noting that the two have killed several people already, and that death is the only suitable punishment for monsters who murder. The two monsters then bluff that they have zombie poison within them, and that if they die the released toxin will cause a plague that could kill the entire city. Ye Yan remarks that zombie poison would indeed be hard to deal with, and the older sister monster hopes to negotiate with him.

Ye Yan then decides to subjugate the two into his Flag Demons instead, mentioning that all his Flag Demons are red-blooded men who would be more than happy to enjoy the company of two cute girls. He then releases his Flag Demons, who all manifest shirtless while thanking their master for his kindness while making vulgar comments. As Ye Yan prepares to convert the two monster girls, he notices Huang Xiaoyan and immediately pretends to be frightened by his Flag Demons, hoping to deceive her into thinking he is a normal person. His Flag Demons also notice the Untitled Sage, which genuinely terrifies them. Huang Xiaoyan then descends from the window and walks up to Ye Yan, telling him to drop the act as she has been watching him for the past two minutes. She then angrily remarks that they are colleagues, with Ye Yan awkwardly responding that he thought she was asleep.

## Chapter Guide

**Lolita Drumstick** (洛丽塔鸡腿 *Luò Lì Tǎ Jī Tuǐ*) is the forty-fifth chapter of Tong Yao's *Guardians of Night*.

## Summary

Xiao Jian, a sleeper agent from the Underworld greets Xi Sha in the human world. When asked by the girl for his identity, he introduces himself and his occupation as a spy who has long resided in the human world, and that he was tasked to serve Xi Sha. Xi Sha approves to have him be her servant and guide. Xiao Jian then reminds her to not massacre the human world, as per Yan Wen's orders, with Xi Sha agreeing that she has no time to deal with peasants and orders him to take her to the guardians. As they are about to depart however, Xi Sha spots a lolita-style dress and is immediately entranced by its beauty. Desiring the dress, Xi Sha prepares to break the glass around it and take it. Xiao Jian stops her and informs her that in the human world, one must pay money for something if they want it. Xi Sha then orders him to buy it for her, since he has been living in the human world for a long time. Some time later, a joyous Xi Sha dressed in the clothes once again praises its beauty while Xiao Jian weeps that the dress cost him a month's worth of his salary. The two then leave for Xiahou High School.

After a while, the two arrive at the high school. Xiao Jian informs Xi Sha that she will meet the guardians if she finds the student council. Xi Sha wonders why her servant is acting nervous and moving around stealthily instead of leading the way. Xiao Jian replies that his lowly status makes him fearful of entering territory belonging to the Department of Night. Xi Sha calls him useless in response and enters the school by herself, with Xiao Jian mentally lamenting being called useless despite spending so much of his money. Xi Sha eventually finds two students and asks them where the student council is. The two male students tell her to keep walking straight and make a left at the end. As she walks away from them, they comment on her cuteness.

Somewhere in the school under a tree, Ye Yan leisurely remarks if there is anything more wonderful than sleeping during recess while wearing a giant drumstick sleeping headgear. Xi Sha approaches the tree and is shocked upon seeing this.
