Not far away, a throng of people was gathering.
The noise of the fight stopped, and the people of White Cloud Village discovered that the Demon Fiend had been slain, and began to swarm here.
"This couple turned out to be Demon Fiends!"
"The people who went missing in our village before might have secretly been killed by them!"
"Beat them to death!"
The crowd rushed up and kicked and punched the enormous Fox Demon’s corpse, venting their anger wildly.
"Thank you, esteemed ones, for ridding White Cloud Village of this scourge. Is there anything you need help with?"
After venting, these people turned to thank Wei Fan and the others.
They weren’t blind; they could see that besides Wei Fan, the rest of the Demon Suppression Bureau members were severely injured.
Li Fengyi beckoned to the two people who had led the way earlier, took out some money, and said, "We’re all hungry. Could you arrange for someone to get us some food, and also find us a place to stay for the night?
Also, could you arrange for someone to go down to Wangshan Town to inform the Government Office that we’re safe, and help find a physician?"
By now, the sky had already darkened. Given Ning Xuan’s injuries, it was impossible for them to return to Wangshan Town, so they had to stay here for the night and arrange for someone to carry him down the mountain tomorrow. Everyone was injured; there was no hurry.
Moreover, they needed to notify the Government Office.
Though Gao Peng had fled, he must have returned to Wangshan Town. If they didn’t notify anyone, they might report the incident to the Demon Suppression Bureau overnight. Not only would it waste the Bureau’s manpower, but their merits might also be reduced.
The elderly man didn’t take any money. After listening to Li Fengyi, he went to arrange for some people. Soon, a few strong young men found a door panel to help transport Ning Xuan and the still-unconscious Su Xuerong.
The accommodation was arranged at none other than Jiang Feng’s house, which had plenty of space to accommodate them.
Besides, the elderly man arranged for two young men to remain here to await Wei Fan and his group’s orders, while the rest were sent back home.
"Xuerong will be fine!"
Wei Fan plopped down beside Li Fengyi.
Su Guangwen and Peng Mingjie were still helping Ning Xuan stitch and dress his wounds, and Su Xuerong had yet to awaken.
Although he didn’t seem injured, he had actually expended a lot of energy. The fight didn’t last long, but every move was life-threatening, and he used all his strength in each attack.
Especially with the Sword Intent, it consumed a large amount of his Heart Spirit, and now he felt a stabbing pain in his head.
Sword Intent isn’t something you can use continuously just because you want to.
Li Fengyi shook her head: "She’s fine, she’ll wake up soon."
Wei Fan looked at Li Fengyi: "Do you need my help with your wounds?"
She had several gaping wounds on her body. Although the bleeding had stopped, if not treated, they would look very unsightly in the future.
Li Fengyi rolled her eyes at him: "You’re a man, how are you going to treat me, trying to take advantage?"
"I’ll find someone to help you instead!"
Realizing the impropriety, Wei Fan thought it better not to handle it himself. Even though Li Fengyi didn’t seem like someone who paid much attention to small matters, she was still a woman.
He got up and soon found a bold woman in the village to help Li Fengyi treat her wounds.
Once everyone’s wounds were mostly treated, the sky was completely dark. The meal had been delivered, and Su Xuerong awoke.
After dinner, Gao Peng appeared, face full of shame, with several governmental officers and a physician. Wei Fan and his group didn’t blame him and had him persuade the villagers to leave, keeping only Gao Peng and the governmental officers there.
"So this is what you meant by your cultivation was only at the True Qi Realm!"
With the danger resolved, Li Fengyi couldn’t help but confront Wei Fan, feeling a sense of being deceived.
The moment Wei Fan charged towards Hu Yulang without hesitation, her eyes reddened, thinking Wei Fan was sacrificing himself to hold Hu Yulang back.
No one knew the sorrow and rage she felt at that moment.
But things turned out differently. Wei Fan had beaten Hu Yulang to near death, like a beacon of light in the darkness.
Wei Fan rubbed his aching head: "When Su Guangwen came to record, I was indeed still at the True Qi Realm and went to the Merit Hall to request a cultivation technique for the Acupoint Realm. I hadn’t yet broken through to Acupoint Realm. Ning Xuan can testify."
Li Fengyi was speechless, a look of indescribable shock in her eyes.
At that time, he was still at the True Qi Realm, which meant in just over a day, Wei Fan not only succeeded in opening acupoints but also opened many, at least dozens.
Otherwise, even with Horizontal Cultivation of Innate Perfected Qi, Dantian able to contain a hundred years of qi, it would not be possible, with just one or two opened acupoints, to slay both Wei Hongying and Hu Yulang, who had six to seven hundred years of power.
Recalling how she had previously told Wei Fan to just look at the Grand Commander’s profound learning for knowledge, but not practice it, she blushed.
In just one day, he had mastered the Mountain Shaking Fist.
That scoundrel, back then, must have laughed at her ignorance in his heart.
The more Li Fengyi thought about it, the angrier she became, biting her teeth: "Then explain your claim to specialize in defense. You even comprehended Sword Intent. You said you specialize in defense, but you’re deceiving your teammates?
The Demon Suppression Bureau collects this information, not for you to fill in carelessly!"
