Chapter 1116 - 489: Joining the Demon-Slaying Operation

Fang Yu’s brow slowly furrowed.

"This... I’m helping too much, aren’t I? Do I have to keep being responsible for them in the future?"

Ding Hui laughed.

"Husband, you know, helping too much like this is excessive. We’re just ordinary people. Occasionally showing kindness to save others is fine, but what the rescued do afterward is their business. Even if they do evil later, it’s their fault, not yours."

"But without me..."

Ding Hui interrupted directly.

"Then just kill all the people in Sunset City and let those slaves worship them as ancestors. Or does my husband see himself as some kind of savior? We can barely protect ourselves; how can we save people all the way to the west? Helping them temporarily is kindness; if they do evil, you just go back and kill them, taking back the kindness you gave them. Simple and clear! A real man acts without hesitation!"

Fang Yu felt that Ding Hui was speaking twisted logic.

But within the twisted logic, there seemed to be reason.

No matter what, under Ding Hui’s comforting words, Fang Yu’s mood improved significantly.

Fang Yu only thought about saving people but hadn’t considered that the class hatred between the slaves and the native people of Sunset City had already sunk deep into the bone.

Nor had he thought that among those pitiable slaves, many were actually inherently bad people. They were simply deceived by the slave label, inherently showing kindness and freeing people. This act was like releasing demons to do evil.

Sighing, Fang Yu changed the topic.

"I’ve investigated those few slave forces, and there’s no news about Big Brother. However, I found an organization called Jiuyao. This organization controls the higher-level slave market in our area. Finding Jiuyao and following the trail should lead to some clues."

"Jiuyao... I’ve never heard of this name. It seems this organization is quite hidden."

Ding Hui pondered.

Although she has dabbled in various information, like being comprehensive but not specialized, it’s actually difficult for her to obtain some in-depth intel.

"By the way, after the demon chaos yesterday, Qingling Taoist Temple should seize the opportunity to fuel the fire, pushing forward their demon eradication campaign. This matter is quite serious; the public is agitated. Whether it’s as the crownless king of Sunset City, the Qingling Taoist Temple, or the Seven Great Families standing at the pinnacle of Sunset City, they all must show leadership to calm the people’s hearts and thus command respect."

Fang Yu frowned.

According to Hai Ruoyin, the demon eradication campaign had already been moved up by several months, and now it’s even sooner; it might be set to depart in the next few days.

"What do you think?"

Fang Yu looked at Ding Hui?

"The demon eradication campaign can stabilize the future safety of Sunset City, ensuring the trade routes..."

"You know I’m not asking about this!"

Ding Hui laughed, her lips slightly upturned, her face suddenly moved a few inches closer to Fang Yu, her breath brushing against Fang Yu’s face.

The thin sleepwear, with her white skin beneath, faintly visible.

"Well~ how should I put it, Qingling Taoist Temple immediately launched such an operation after losing you, its heir, there must be some hidden agenda behind it. But just from the released list, it doesn’t seem different from previous years. However..."

Ding Hui drew out her words, watching Fang Yu turn his head away, his evasive gaze causing her eyes to narrow to slits. Suddenly she backed up a few steps.

"However, if you carefully study the demon eradication lists in recent years, it’s not hard to see that this time, Qingling Taoist Temple has added quite a few young experts who recently made a name for themselves. For example, someone we both know, Wu Youmei, is actually on the list too."

"Wu Youmei?"

Relaxing a bit because of Ding Hui’s distance, Fang Yu immediately reacted.

"Is she considered an expert?"

"Why look down on Wu Youmei?" Ding Hui showed a puzzled expression.

But, but she’s so weak.

Being chased by demons aside, once she was in the city, she was continually humiliated, never showing any actual strength.

Ding Hui commented, "Although Wu Youmei and others are somewhat lacking in strength and have an unstable foundation, even putting them in Tianyuan Town, they would be at the Thousand Households level. If they have a bit more potential, they could even make it into the Third Hall."

The world is sobering.

The world is truly sobering.

Fang Yu, tangled in high-level battles and intrigues for too long, had developed a skewed perception of the average strength among the populace.

A Thousand Households level, leading a team, could handle those mediocre ten thousand blood Little Demons like the ones in the slave prison yesterday.

And these ten thousand blood demons, set loose on the street, are practically on a massacre level for the general public.

Fang Yu fell silent for a moment, sighing.

If only his current adversaries were these ’renowned experts’ level.

Unfortunately, his current targets started at the level of the Hai Family Patriarch, and if he wasn’t careful, he could be killed by a single palm strike.

"By the way, has there been any progress in the research on Bloodline Spirit?"

Ding Hui smiled slightly, "The Hai Family still values you, generously providing me with resources. However, accordingly, they seem to have realized my value, sending a few people to assist me, always keeping a close watch."

Fang Yu’s heart tightened.

"Could it be dangerous?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Hui was not in a hurry to respond, instead giggling, "Why? Worried about me?"

Fang Yu frowned, "I’m talking business with you."

"Relax, the more valuable I am, the safer I will be in the Hai Family. But when the time comes to leave, you’ll probably need to put in some effort."

Ding Hui winked at Fang Yu.

In this regard, Fang Yu was confident.

"Don’t worry, I will definitely take you with me."
