"By the ti I ca to my senses, the battle among the demons had already been decided, leaving only this one great demon in front of ."
"At that ti, I had already lost the ability to fight. Just when I was in utter despair... Lord Li Baizhen, it was your arrow that fell and saved !"
Fang Yu said excitedly.
His eyes getting moist again, his emotions appeared very ’genuine’!
Li Baizhen showed an awkward expression.
To be honest, he didn’t feel the reality of killing a demon.
The falling arrow was entirely due to the automatic targeting of his Cultivation Technique.
By the ti he himself had arrived, all the demons were already dead.
It was fortunate that he had made a snap decision to bring his team over imdiately when Fang Yu sent people to ask for reinforcents.
Even if he beca separated from his team, he had to co at the first opportunity.
Fortunately, it was not aningless.
At least, he had saved one person.
"Cough cough cough cough cough!"
Fang Yu coughed, and Li Baizhen hurriedly asked him to sit down and rest.
After listening to Fang Yu’s account, Li Baizhen learned why Fang Yu was able to survive.
Indeed, with Diao Deyi’s strength, facing five demons, winning was out of question, let alone surviving.
Li Baizhen had co to believe what Fang Yu said, in addition to the incident of the red steam.
"That is... a thod of the spirit."
"What?" Fang Yu was taken aback.
How could demons be related to spirits?
"I’m not sure about the specifics, we’ll have to wait for Ding Hui to give an explanation."
"But the red steam you ntioned is indeed an external manifestation of the [spirit]."
"But... a [spirit] inside a demon’s body? That’s impossible!"
"Or a [spirit] possessing a demon, that’s also impossible!"
Li Baizhen felt overwheld.
"Since ancient tis, it has only been humans who are qualified to manipulate [spirits] or rge with Demon Bloodline."
"There has never been a combination of [spirit] and demon."
"Strange... Are you sure you didn’t see it wrong?"
Fang Yu shook his head.
Without their infighting, I’d have been dead, could it be fake?
"I don’t know then."
Li Baizhen scratched his head; this kind of thing was beyond his comprehension.
Fighting, he could do.
Research and stuff like that was not his area of expertise.
However, Fang Yu was unlikely to lie, so the demons fighting each other was probably true.
"Did you say that the demons suddenly revealed their true forms amongst the crowd?"
"Yes."
Li Baizhen touched his chin.
"...This doesn’t fit the behavioral pattern of demons hiding their identities."
"Even if people from the Foolish Underworld ca to investigate, it’s usually hard to find anything."
"But they suddenly exposed their true forms."
"Plus the infighting among the demons."
"I’m afraid all this has sothing to do with the [spirit] inside the demons."
"I heard from Ding Hui that the demons seem to have been researching sothing new recently; it’s probably this."
"But, it has always been humans who can accommodate [spirits]."
"A demon’s body could never be a container; they are just wasting their efforts."
Li Baizhen felt there was no need to worry; the information passed down from ancestors couldn’t be wrong.
Ta-ta-ta.
Just then, a group of people burst in from outside, all riding on horses and reaching the scene.
"Lord Li Baizhen!"
"Commander Bai!"
Behind them, more hands could be seen coming this way.
So were Li Baizhen’s own soldiers, so were additional reinforcents, and yet so were not called by Li Baizhen at all.
The ruckus at Ronghua Dyeing Factory was so huge that, besides those brought by Li Baizhen, personnel from the nearby Foolish Underworld and local forces would also send people to investigate.
"Don’t panic, everything is under my control," Li Baizhen suddenly said.
Fang Yu was puzzled, I have no reason to panic.
Then he heard soone among the newcors shouting.
"Who the hell is making trouble on my turf!"
"Don’t stop ! Whose soldiers are you! Li Baizhen? Let him co see !"
Who is that?
So arrogant?
Looking up.
[Han ngyu:500/500.]
Fang Yu:...
Fang Yu:6.
"Is Ronghua Dyeing Factory her territory??"
"No."
Li Baizhen shook his head.
"It seems she was on patrol and noticed sothing happening here, so she ca over to take a look."
"Don’t worry, my people will stop her."
True enough, although Han ngyu was shouting fiercely, she couldn’t break through the defense line set up by Li Baizhen’s n.
However, she kept calling for Li Baizhen to et her.
Li Baizhen patted Fang Yu’s shoulder, then lifted Fang Yu onto the back of the horse next to him.
"Take a rest here, I’ll go and deal with it."
After saying this, with a turn, Li Baizhen walked towards her with a solemn face.
Next to Han ngyu was Li Baizhen’s elite, Kun Shanhai.
However, Hu Shusheng and Yue Guang, those demon insiders, were nowhere to be seen.
Fang Yu found it odd. Li Baizhen had co over with a large squad; why wouldn’t those few follow him?
Yue Guang and the others might be an exception, but wasn’t Hu Shusheng mixing with Kun Shanhai, which ans mixing with Han ngyu as well? Shouldn’t they co together to stir up trouble?
Suddenly, Fang Yu rembered Yue Guang’s gloomy expression when they parted in the morning. Could it be... Yue Guang had gone to call the demon insiders for internal military training?
While he was thinking this, several people rode up on their horses.
Gu Dongjia: 80/80.
Yu Chengzhong: 63/100.
[...]
Glancing over, they were all confidants of Li Baizhen, sowhat familiar faces.
Seemingly feeling Fang Yu’s gaze, they glanced at Fang Yu.
"Lord Li Baizhen has ordered us to protect you."
"It’s superfluous; all the demons have been killed by Lord Li Baizhen, where’s the danger now."
"Lord Li Baizhen is so powerful! We were only a few minutes late, and he had killed all the demons, such an intimidating strength!"
"Indeed! Lord Li Baizhen is from the Li Family, how could he not be strong!"
"Shush! Lord Li Baizhen doesn’t like it when others ntion his family."
The few idled in chat, seemingly unconcerned whether Fang Yu was eavesdropping.
"It’s a pity, this Ronghua Dyeing Factory, nearly everyone in it is dead rather than alive."
"True, who would have thought, such a small Ronghua Dyeing Factory was harboring four or five demons, it’s terrifying!"
"My wife even bought clothes made from their dye factory."
"Nonsense! The dyeing factory only dyes fabrics and such, clothes are their supplier’s business."
"Luo Shen Cloth Workshop is their supplier, haven’t you bought fabrics or clothes from Luo Shen Cloth Workshop?"
The man called Yu Chengzhong looked at his colleagues with a sidelong glance, slightly puffed his chest, seemingly with a hint of showing off.
His colleagues imdiately went silent.
That’s because the fabrics sold by Luo Shen Cloth Workshop, and the designed clothes, were very expensive, practically luxury goods.
Even for them from the Foolish Underworld, it would take half a year’s salary to afford a piece of fabric, let alone the more expensive designed clothes.
Are they trying to kill the conversation with vanity?
Half a year’s salary for a piece of clothing, don’t they need to eat or live?
Between the lines, there was more distaste and dissatisfaction with Yu Chengzhong.
However, they all understood that these were so flaws and quirks in Yu Chengzhong’s character; he was actually quite a nice person.
In this silence, Fang Yu suddenly spoke up.
"You just said... Ronghua Dyeing Factory is a subcontractor of Luo Shen Cloth Workshop?"
Hearing soone taking the bait, Yu Chengzhong was delighted and began to speak eloquently.
"Exactly, the fabric from Luo Shen Cloth Workshop is top-quality in Tianyuan Town."
"But Luo Shen Cloth Workshop doesn’t take care of all the business; so is passed to subcontractors with fine workmanship and good reputation for further processing."
"Ronghua Dyeing Factory is one of them. In this circle, cooperating with Luo Shen Cloth Workshop is a huge honor! It’s a symbol of quality!"
"Like Ronghua Dyeing Factory, there are probably three other subcontractor dyeing factories in Tianyuan Town, each one..."
Yu Chengzhong was still going on and on but did not notice that Fang Yu’s expression had gradually turned grim.
Without letting him finish, Fang Yu suddenly spurred his horse on, turned the horse’s head, and charged out.
"Diao Deyi?!"
"What’s going on?!"
"No good! Lord Li Baizhen has ordered us to make sure he’s well protected!"
"Follow him!"
But it was too late.
Fang Yu had already rushed into the street, took a turn, and was gone, even his shadow disappeared.
Luo Shen Cloth Workshop.
Short-term workers.
Spirit.
Second sister!
Fang Yu’s eyes turned cold, filled with murderous intent!
