Chapter 240: Chapter 238 Everything is Within the Expectations of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect…

Slap!

“Are you going to talk or not!”

The aged Hu Zi’s flame whip struck fiercely, leaving a deep burn mark on the Wood Demon’s body that still emitted sparks, causing immense pain for this Wood Element member of the Demon Clan, who made distressed sounds.

Slap!

“Are you going to talk or not!”

Slap!

...

“Are you finally going to talk or not!”

Slap slap slap slap slap!

Hu Zi gave a series of ten lashes, causing the Wood Demon’s face to swell.

Next to him, Yang Fuqing gently pulled on Hu Zi’s sleeve and whispered:

“Uncle Hu… you haven’t asked anything yet.”

“Oh, I know, I’ll ask in a while.”

Slap!

The huge Wood Demon, now covered in injuries, twisted its face in anger and roared:

“We of the Wood Demon Clan may be dim-witted, but we absolutely will never betray a friend!”

The worldly-wise Pei Qi rubbed his wise forehead and said to Yang Fuqing:

“The Wood Demon Clan is indeed like this… Besides being a bit silly, they have no faults and are extremely loyal; it’s very hard to get them to say anything. This is probably why other members of the Demon Clan sent it to gather resources.”

Hu Zi ignored that, laughing with a “hehe”: “You must not have read our Yang Family’s divine book ‘Login for a Hundred Lashes.’ When 100 lashes don’t solve the problem, do you know what to do?”

“What?”

“Give another hundred lashes.”

Slap slap slap slap!

The Wood Demon’s body emitted sparks from being whipped, and Yang Fuqing wore a pained expression.

“Uncle Hu, stop this… If you keep going, it might die. Give it some ice to cool it down.”

“Great idea!”

Hu Zi switched to an ice whip and continued his assault.

The Wood Demon, experiencing both ice and fire, screamed even more miserably!

“Ah ah ah!!! Even if you whip me to death, I will not reveal the whereabouts of our lair in my leg! Don’t even think about it! I will never betray my friends!”

Yang Fuqing’s face brightened.

“Uncle Hu, hold on…”

She noticed an accessible wooden hole in the thigh branch of the tree demon; upon opening it, she indeed found a map inside, detailing its daily gathering routes and…

“Found the other demons’ location! It’s right here in the Ancient Zone!”

Inside Bright City was a huge map drawn by the Yang Family, marking areas like the outer zone, development zone, and Ancient Zone. Yang Fuqing pointed to a spot on that big map, and everyone understood where it was.

Xiong Ba paused slightly, “I see this youngster is not foolish at all…”

Juanjuan nodded, “Indeed.”

Yang Shi, who had been silently watching Hu Zi’s interrogation, glanced at the map.

“Hidden next to the Nine-Headed Poison Python’s lair, there’s likely some kind of cooperation…”

“Nine-Headed Poison Python…”

Ding Zhen silently muttered this name, looking at the Bright City’s homemade map where a glaring red font marked[Golden Core Stage]and his brow furrowed.

“No wonder the Daoist Cat said don’t go looking for the Demon Clan without a Golden Core Stage… If we go, we will definitely be killed by that python outside its cave.”

Now the senior members of Bright City were here, hearing the information extracted from the mouth of the Demon Clan, everyone looked troubled.

“The difference between Foundation Establishment and the Golden Core is like heaven and earth; we are no match for these Golden Core Demon Beasts. What should we do…”

“Only a Golden Core Stage can combat another Golden Core Stage…”

“Are we just supposed to watch as the Demon Clan hides and incites demon beasts to attack our city? Even if it costs my life, we must eliminate these demons! I am willing to delay the Nine-Headed Poison Python and buy time for everyone!”

Chu Qiao’s face was resolute.

She witnessed her sect brothers and sisters die in the chaos of the demon cultivators. All the disciples who had trained with Murong Ziyuan had died… After surviving in Yang Family for 10 years, she returned to her sect to eradicate demon cultivators, purify the Royal Family, and become the supreme commander of all cultivators building Bright City…

This world was about to become the way she dreamed it should be, and she would not allow anyone to ruin it!

It would be better to go down and find Elder Bai.

Chu Qiao hadn’t told anyone… Two months before Elder Bai’s death, they had agreed to become Daoist couples after purging the demon cultivators, hence Elder Bai left her in charge before he left.

Today, she reached the Foundation Establishment Stage and felt that her talent had reached its limit. Not daring to hope for a Golden Core, she preferred to do something grand.

“Absurd! Now the sect is weak, and each Foundation Establishment cultivator is a pillar of the sect; how can you talk lightly of sacrificing! With this level of mindset, you act recklessly as a senior!”

Ding Zhen rarely got angry.

“Then, Sect Leader, please provide me with a better method!”

“….”

Ding Zhen fell silent again, hating that he only had the Eighth Level of Foundation Establishment at this time and could not protect the sect.

He touched his space ring, hesitation apparent on his face.

Yang Shi spoke calmly, “Stop arguing, I have a plan…”

Everyone turned to listen to Yang Shi, the most respected man in the Danai Dynasty.

…

One month later.

Inside Bright City, a group of people stood in the courtyard of the Bright City Comprehensive Public Service Center.

Ding Zhen held a ball of light in his hand, swirling with countless demon energies.

“Relax your mind, don’t resist…”

“‘Transformation Technique’!”

The group were transformed into different members of the Demon Clan, with no flaws visible, identical to Xiong Ba and the others.

A magic included in the Demon Slaying Technique, capable of turning humans into demons, had extremely strong disguising capabilities, and even same-realm members of the Demon Clan could not see through it.

“Hehe~ This ‘Demon Slaying Technique’ is truly extraordinarily useful, even I can hardly tell it is Human Clan cultivators transformed… unless I look closely.”

“Humph~ That’s because your vision is getting poor; just eat more of our Dan Fire Sect’s Fire Eye Golden Eye Pill.”

“Out here, stop arguing and behave a little like a Sect Leader.”

“Humph.”

Watching the two cultivators invited by Yang Shi, the entire team was filled with confidence.

“This time, we are troubling the two sect leaders…”

“Yang Shi, my dear brother, you’re being too formal. Your ‘Five Elements Nourishing Yuan Pill’ has been a great help to us. Now, the cultivation speed of the cultivators in the Fierce Sun Dynasty has greatly increased, all thanks to you.”

“Yang Fushuo is the pride of our Dan Fire Sect, I will definitely not sit by and watch the Yang Family be attacked by the Demon Clan.”

“Yang Shi once again thanks the two elders. Let’s set off!”

The Danai Dynasty lacked those in the Golden Core Stage, but the Fierce Sun Dynasty had two.

Fan Tian and Fan Di, these competitively spirited brothers, both had exceedingly high talent. Having been in the Golden Core Stage for many years, the two could surely suppress the Nine-Headed Poison Python.

That Yang Shi could persuade them to act was within Yang Genshuo’s expectations.

One was the ‘Five Elements Nourishing Yuan Pill’, and also their recent collaboration on the ‘Demon Beast Obedience Pill’ and ‘Dual Cultivation Pill’, all elixir recipes gifted by the Yang Family. They manufactured and refined them, and the Yang Family would still take them back to sell to Yang Fushuo.

This was a massively beneficial industrial chain for both parties!

Yang Shi was the largest customer of the Fierce Sun Dynasty, a kingdom adept at alchemy. If he had trouble, the loss to the two sects would be tremendous.

Additionally… Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo, as disciples from the True Fire Sect and Dan Fire Sect, had limitless future achievements. Naturally, the two sect leaders were also willing to give face to them.

After all, who knows how many years later, these two kids might achieve great heights, by then they might still be able to look after their Fan Immortal Clan… When feasible, forging a good connection is always beneficial.

The group transformed into demon forms and headed towards the Ancient Zone, following the map of the Wood Demon to seek out those demons causing destruction.

Perhaps it was the Wood Demon’s famously tight-lipped nature, or maybe it was to seek the protection of the Nine-Headed Poison Python, but this group of demons hadn’t changed their location and were caught red-handed by the group.

There were a total of 18 demons.

Feeling the surging demon energy, they excitedly said, “Are you demons who have just crossed the barrier?”

Yang Shi waved his hand, “Capture them all!”

Suddenly, everyone appeared, and immortal laws surged out!

“Exterminating Immortal Thunder Array!”

As soon as Ding Zhen made a move, it was thunder and lightning flashing, his strength of the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment bursting forth, turning the skies above dark and lightless.

“Who dares to disturb my honored guests!”

A robust voice layered with nine tones echoed from the valley; an overwhelming aura enveloped the area, countless poison mists spewed forth, filling the view with green poisonous gas!

Golden Core Stage Nine-Headed Poison Python!

The 18 demons were overjoyed.

“Elder Nine-Head! Save us! Only we can help you transform into a demon!”

Most of these demons were at the peak of Qi Cultivation, with only the two leading demons at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, Ding Zhen alone could handle them, not even in the same league.

“Hehe~ Last time that little kitty got away, and now another meal has come delivering itself…”

“Oh? Are you sure?”

“Laws of Heaven and Earth, True Lord of Flames!”

Fan Tian and Fan Di appeared simultaneously, two massive flames rising, clearing the poisonous gas in an instant!

Fire clouds burned across the sky, countless Flame Spirit Powers converging, forming two giant flame giants.

A shiver that touched its soul made the Nine-Headed Poison Python suddenly startle!

Run!

Run fast!

Both these human cultivators were in the Golden Core Stage!

And they were the Fire Cultivation he feared the most!

It, being a Wood Element Poison Python, found the Fire Element to be its nemesis!

Whoosh!

At this moment, the Nine-Headed Poison Python displayed the ultimate speed that a Golden Core Stage demon beast could achieve, its body turning into a streak of flowing light as it darted deep into the jungle without looking back!

What demons, what transformation, survival comes first!

“Cowardly scoundrels.”

The two brothers said in unison, then glanced at each other.

“Hmph!”

With that, the 18 demons completely lost their protection and became lambs to the slaughter.

Utilizing the might of the two great Golden Core Fire Cultivators, Yang Shi and the others used ‘Demon Seeking Technique’ to catch one demon hiding outside. Including the already netted Wood Demon, a total of 20 demons who ran out from the Demon Realm were all captured.

The peculiar array they were building in the Ancient Zone was completely destroyed!

With the demons’ instigations lost, the demons in the Ancient Zone were no longer aggressive, and a rare calm descended…

“Indeed, the ‘Demon Slaying Technique’ is really the best method against the Demon Clan!”

Yang Genshuo felt that letting Yang Qiang enter the Heavenly Mechanism Sect was the right decision, as that place contained the ‘law’ among treasures, an extremely special resource, something not buyable even with Spirit Stones.

Especially those magic techniques that disappeared in the historical transmissions, many could be found in the collections of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

“Indeed, man is destined to overcome nature, there is always a way to break through any predicament.”

“Since we’ve ruined their array, the crisis foretold by the Heavenly Mechanism Sect for the next 50 years should be averted.”

“Now we can continue with the development strategy I had previously set out.”

“Quick, press on!”

However, before Yang Genshuo could celebrate for long…

A dire message came from the Law Enforcement Hall, which was interrogating the demons separately.

“Reporting to Vice Sect Master Yang, the demons say the barrier of the Demon Realm is already loosening. Even without them using arrays outside to speed up the process… the passageways will continue to enlarge.”

“Next time… in about 20 years, the Foundation Establishment demons from the Night Demon Palace will be able to break through, and they will continue to build arrays to accelerate the breaking of the barrier.”

“According to the great demons of the Night Demon Palace, even without outside acceleration, in 50 years… the Demon Realm barrier will have enough gaps for Golden Core demons to pass through.”

At that moment, Yang Shi looked to the sky.

Yang Genshuo turned towards Yang Shi.

Both sitting before the computer screen, they were speechless.

After contemplating for a moment, Yang Genshuo couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.

“If we can’t deal with these lesser demons, the Golden Core demons will not wait 50 years to break free, so…”

“I had Yang Qiang browse through the archives and find the ‘Demon Slaying Technique’, then cleansed off these demons. Had Ling Ji Zi also deduced this?”

“Was all this anticipated by the Heavenly Mechanism Sect?”

At this moment, goosebumps covered Yang Genshuo’s body.
