After speaking, Lu Qiaochun also realized,
"Sir, this is a major event, you know, itâs been so many years since anyone died in the Foolish Underworld. We need to keep a low profile now. We may not be able to withstand Thunderâs wrath against our Rebel Army."
Fang Yu frowned. His demon hunting operation had just started getting exciting, and then this happened.
After thinking for a while, Fang Yu decided to keep a low profile and first see whatâs going on outside.
Fortunately, todayâs harvest was decent.
Otherwise, stopping now would indeed leave Fang Yu somewhat unwilling, since the feel is just getting good, and there are still many suspected demons on the map he hasnât confirmed yet.
He glanced at the system panel.
[Demonization: 35%.]
Fang Yu:...
Itâs truly sinful. Killing some demons to purify Thunder City, and almost got killed by the two Hall Masters of the Foolish Underworld.
Although his injuries were rapidly healing, he still needed to rest as the situation required.
Times have changed; in the past, when spirit attributes were low, there was a lot of room for error, and attribute points could easily scrub away the demonization progress.
Nowadays, leveling up is getting harder and the limits of spirit attributes are soon to be reached, meaning the margin for error in demonization progress is greatly reduced.
In the future, unless absolutely necessary, it is indeed better not to use this power.
Fang Yu looked at the believer panel next to demonization, which remained motionless.
The abilities of the believer really need to be developed, and with Monk Quan Heng, a seasoned believer guiding the practice, he believes the abilities will soon be enhanced.
"Letâs go."
Taking Lu Qiaochun, Fang Yu glanced at the sky and headed directly towards the Forest Snake Gang.
The sun was setting, and Ding Hui should have returned from the An Mansion.
Hopefully, she didnât cause any trouble at the An Mansion...
Thinking of the An Mansion, one of the Ten Major Families, Fang Yuâs heart was still filled with apprehension. After all, even just a dog of the Ten Major Families, merely a Hall Master of the Foolish Underworld, made him sweat profusely. Truly facing the top masters of the Ten Major Families, he didnât have much confidence in defeating them.
...
Rebel Army, stronghold.
"Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!"
"Good, good, good!"
"Hahaha! Not to disappoint, Brother Diao, making such explosive moves right away!"
Xu Qingqi looked at the intelligence in his hand, brimming with laughter.
Like a child watching a play, occasionally clapping and exclaiming.
"Hahaha! I knew that old blacksmith had problems; turns out heâs a demon! Brother Diao and I are alike, with eyes as sharp as torches, seeing right through that old thing! But Brother Diao has more guts than I did back then; he just went and chopped with a sword. Itâs all because my father forced me to become a Minister, which tempered my temperament. Otherwise, that blacksmith should have been chopped out of his True Demon form years ago! Qiu Xiaoping, donât you agree?"
Sitting in her seat, tilting her head, Qiu Xiaoping rubbed her temples painfully upon hearing this.
She didnât dare to get angry with Xu Qingqi, the adopted daughter of the Commander, so her gaze naturally swept towards Yu Ji below and the trembling Floral Street shopkeeper Ji Xiangsong.
"Minister Qiu! Minister Xu! Iâm innocent! I didnât give any other map, just the one arranged by the lord back then! He can testify, he can testify!"
As if sensing Qiu Xiaopingâs fury, the shopkeeper Ji Xiangsong kowtowed and shrieked, pointing at Yu Ji.
Only then did Qiu Xiaoping frown and look at Yu Ji, who was half-kneeling beside the little old man.
"Cough, cough..."
Yu Jiâs injuries were severe, and if it werenât for the two Ministersâ summons, he couldnât have dragged his wounded body here.
"In response... my lords, Spring and I have never looked at the map." Yu Ji weakly replied.
Upon these words, Ji Xiangsongâs eyes widened instantly.
Although he instructed Fang Yu not to show the map to his subordinates, he never thought Fang Yu would actually be so honest and not let those two subordinates see the map!
This, what to do? How to prove my innocence?
"Records! Ministers, my every action is documented, and I genuinely havenât given Minister Diao any other intelligence!!"
Ji Xiangsong could only hold on, his boss was Spring Department Director Nian Jiachen, but since Nian Jiachen is not here now, no one was there to cover him, so he could only find ways to protect himself.
Xu Qingqi at this moment was also displeased.
"Qiu Xiaoping, what do you mean by this? My Brother Diao slays demons and serves justice, boosting the Rebel Armyâs reputation, winning over the hearts of the people, and doing an incredible deed that benefits the whole of Thunder City. How can you blame my subordinates!"
To be precise, former subordinates.
Both Yu Ji and Lu Qiaochun previously belonged under Xu Qingqiâs name.
"Iâm not blaming them, but this matter needs to be clarified and explained! That map confirmed at most seven or eight dormant demons, but Young Master Diao killed more than ten in succession! More than ten! Even though we mentioned letting him kill one at a time at intervals to avoid stirring too much commotion, he still did this..."
Qiu Xiaopingâs headache worsened.
Killing demons is indeed a good thing, but doing it so frequently will inevitably provoke reaction from the Foolish Underworld, making future actions for Diao Deyi far more difficult.
Though the Foolish Underworld has never managed to deal with the Rebel Army, it remains one of Thunder Cityâs local tyrants, wielding intelligence and controlling areas that the Rebel Army cannot compare to.
If truly targeted, operations would be greatly hindered.
Fortunately, there is a Defiled Blood Clone Demon causing havoc in the city, drawing the Foolish Underworldâs attention, otherwise, it would be difficult for the Rebel Army to make significant moves.
