Fang Yu instantly became anxious.
Seeing that his subordinates had reduced the demon’s health by a notch, he decisively made a move, delivering a finishing blow to mitigate losses.
Soon, the ground was littered with demon corpses.
Fang Yu glanced at his gains.
[Attribute Points: 56.]
Fang Yu licked his lips, pleased with the profitable outcome.
Had it not been for the demons escaping in chaos and their health being reduced by others, forcing him to only deal the final blow, he could have earned even more attribute points.
Furthermore, killing demons generally doesn’t have any subsequent impact, unlike killing people which could increase Evil Qi and Demon Energy.
The experience offered is substantial, and it doesn’t cost health, making it a truly cost-effective venture worth pursuing.
However, being in his position, opportunities to openly slaughter demons were rare.
He had to skirt around or find a legitimate reason before making a move.
Otherwise, he would have to secretly look for opportunities.
No need to rush, he thought deeply about how to proceed without overdoing it and attracting unwanted attention. That would be a loss not worth the gain.
Now that he had the attribute points, Fang Yu started thinking about the Wooden Zither Sword Technique he was still practicing.
This sword technique hadn’t been unlocked yet; once the proficiency prompt appeared, he could use an attribute point to learn it directly.
As Fang Yu was deep in thought, Che Linfang suddenly approached and whispered.
"Lord, isn’t this going too far?"
Fang Yu questioned back.
Che Linfang insisted.
"We need to make an example of them, Che Linfang. We’ve just risen to power. Other demons look down on us and dare to test us. Without showing some decisive force, wouldn’t we be looked down upon? If we were too weak, I might not suffer much, having this status, but you and the other servants would definitely be tormented."
Che Linfang was surprised.
She hadn’t realized Fang Yu was so thoughtful and had even considered this.
Promptly, she didn’t argue anymore.
"Moreover, what’s done is done, pondering more about it is pointless. Send more people to keep an eye on the nearby demons for any suspicious activities. Also, check on that Sea of Clouds demon someone mentioned earlier."
After a pause, Fang Yu continued: "Also, instruct the [Crimson Hammer Giant Ape Spirit] brothers to take the corpses of Red Moon Demon’s subordinates and deliver them back to Red Moon Demon."
This was in line with the previously mentioned demand for an explanation from Red Moon Demon and a test of honesty from the two demon tails.
Che Linfang immediately understood and nodded subtly.
Seeing that things were nearly settled, Fang Yu gestured that he was ready to leave.
The issue with Evil Qi still wasn’t resolved. This trouble hindered him from acting freely in killing, unable to address direct provocations.
Suddenly remembering something just as he was about to leave, he stopped.
"Just now when you were away, the Giant Ape Demon brothers brought a message. They said that Tianyuan Town has recently seen an influx of unfamiliar Martial Artists. Send some people to investigate secretly and carefully; don’t get caught."
Foreign Martial Artists?
Che Linfang was somewhat puzzled but still nodded.
"I’ll handle it and will ensure clarity."
This time, Fang Yu truly left.
As he turned to leave, he could see Che Linfang’s subordinates handling the corpses.
Fang Yu then returned home, where Mi Hengpeng was still helping his sister move.
The progress was neither fast nor slow.
Mi Hengpeng leaned forward, looking behind Fang Yu to find no one there.
"She’s got some tasks to handle, she’ll return later."
Turning his attention to his sister, she seemed to be fully engaged, directing the moving team one moment, rummaging through a pile of miscellaneous items the next, her face contorted with confusion and occasionally showing a nostalgic expression. She ran over to resonate with Fang Yu.
Unfortunately, Fang Yu, having only her recounted memories, felt nothing.
After casually dismissing the matter, Fang Yu prepared to leave.
The extensive moving operation had alerted the neighbors.
Many came out to watch, some even approached his sister to bid farewell.
When one ascends to the heavens, even their pets ascend with them.
Fang Yu’s rising status turned his sister into a noteworthy figure among the neighbors.
Even those who had lived on the street and never interacted before now came over to connect, leaving his sister somewhat overwhelmed.
Luckily, with just a look from Fang Yu, Mi Hengpeng stepped forward to alleviate the situation.
Since the moving was progressing realistically, Fang Yu decided not to interfere any longer.
He turned and headed directly to Foolish Underworld.
He planned to meet with Ding Hui, then proceed to Stormwind Tower to check in and make an appearance with Zhuo Xueer.
The guards at the entrance of Foolish Underworld watched Fang Yu approach, their salutes filled with an added respect that slightly puzzled him.
As Fang Yu walked away, the two guards whispered.
"Isn’t that Mr. Diao, the one who charged into Yuan Martial Arts Hall alone, clashed against a group of demons, and stood alongside the Li Family? He really isn’t ordinary!"
"Indeed! I heard Mr. Diao battled through the demons seven times in and seven times out. By the time the Li Family arrived, Mr. Diao was covered in blood, surrounded by demon corpses, almost like a war god!" Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝙣𝙚𝙩
Their faces showed admiration, though it was unclear how these rumors originated, seemingly connected to the messages spread by the Li Family.
Unbeknownst to Fang Yu, his reputation had been elevated.
As he stepped into Research Demon Mansion, the guards at the entrance were taken aback.
Previously, they would have simply let him through, but now they were all too eager to ingratiate themselves.
"Mr. Diao is here. Lord Ding Hui is inside, hasn’t come out for a day or two."
Their enthusiastic provision of information highlighted how attitudes had changed alongside the increase in status.
