But now, as the situation has developed to this stage, even Che Linfang cannot say for certain to what extent Diao Deyi would go to whitewash his identity and to ensure his self-preservation.
It’s possible... today, I might also be included in the list of sacrifices!
Thinking of the worst-case scenario, Che Linfang’s breathing beca rapid.
At this mont...
Bang!!!
Sothing was thrown down from a great height, hitting the ground heavily and stirring up a cloud of dust.
When the dust settled, inside was an insect demon with severed limbs, resembling a plump white caterpillar!
It was as fat as three or four adults bound together, with a big belly, no limbs, and like a round, white sphere, only its expression of terror and panic vividly displayed.
Bang.
At this ti, Monk Quan Heng, who processed the demon to this state, slowly descended from mid-air, reabsorbed the rolling red steam into his body, suppressing the restless and greatly increased hunger within him, and spoke with a smile.
"Mr. Diao, since a person of the Foolish Underworld is present, this demon is handed over to you for final disposal."
What is called final disposal, everyone present naturally understood.
Even the big-bellied, white-skinned insect demon, also realized in fright, and suddenly turned its gaze towards Fang Yu, about to say sothing.
No!
It must not be allowed to speak recklessly!!
In such a frantic state, this useless insect demon could blurt out sothing terrible, she dared not contemplate! It could very possibly drag both of them into the abyss, becoming allies against the monstrous Spirit Monk!
Che Linfang imdiately snapped to realization, dashed forward, unsheathed her sword, and was about to angrily thrust it.
However, soone was quicker than her.
That person’s swordplay, even more dexterous.
Shshshshshshsh—
With the first strike, Fang Yu stabbed into its mouth, severing its tongue, then continued with a frenzy of stirring, the sharp blade inflicted dozens of cuts in the mouth of the Big Worm Demon, instantly reducing it to a split-mouth worm, directly depleting its remaining health.
[Big-Bellied White Worm Demon: 0/2682.]
[System Notification: Congratulations to the player for slaying [Big-Bellied White Worm Demon], earning 1320 Experience Points.]
[System Notification: Experience Points have exceeded 100, converting to a total of 13 attribute points.]
With the recent system record...
[Jade Hound Demon: 0/1042.]
[System Notification: Congratulations to the player for slaying [Jade Hound Demon], earning 300 Experience Points.]
[System Notification: Experience Points have exceeded 100, converting to a total of 3 attribute points.]
Fang Yu’s hesitation-free action in slaughtering the demon made the feeling that had just risen in Monk Quan Heng vanish without a trace.
He smiled.
"I originally thought that such places as the Foolish Underworld would not be invaded by demons. Now it appears that Tianyuan Town’s Foolish Underworld is not as formidable as my place."
As the words fell, Monk Quan Heng’s gaze landed on Che Linfang and Zhang Xiaoli.
Four people arrived, two are demons, what about the remaining two?
Even with his resolve, after the stimulus of the two demons, he couldn’t help salivating.
He closed his eyes and hurriedly recited the sutra to calm his thoughts.
"She isn’t! She couldn’t be! I can assure you! Mr. Diao! I can assure you she isn’t!"
Che Linfang suddenly burst out acting, protectively standing in front of Zhang Xiaoli, as though they had a deep sisterly bond, exuding genuine affection.
Fang Yu imdiately understood and snorted coldly.
"Poor judgnt of character! It’s no wonder Master Quan Heng is suspicious. First, take her to the prison for a strict interrogation; once her innocence is confird, she will then be granted her freedom."
"As for you... Humph! Having been a mber of the Foolish Underworld for so many years, yet deceived by external demons, your monthly salary is forfeited, and you are sentenced to half a month’s duty at the Divine Weapon Pavilion!"
Che Linfang imdiately kowtowed in thanks, while Zhang Xiaoli also pretended to be a bewildered young girl, nodding repeatedly in gratitude.
Only then did Fang Yu turn to look at Monk Quan Heng.
"I wonder if this handling of the matter satisfies you, Master Quan Heng?"
By this ti, Monk Quan Heng had already suppressed his inner desires and spoke calmly with a smile.
"Amitabha, I have trust in the thods of the Foolish Underworld. You may leave everything to Mr. Diao to handle as he sees fit. If help is needed, you can co to find at Baoan Temple, I am always there."
Upon hearing this, in front of Quan Heng, Fang Yu gave Che Linfang a look.
"Haven’t you thanked Master Quan Heng yet! Enough, enough, no need for formalities now, go fetch soone to deal with the corpses of these two demons. Also, from whom these two demons were recognized, write a report for when you’re back, I want to thoroughly investigate this matter! I know that after Lord Li Baizhen’s departure, our branch indeed lacks personnel, but we cannot resort to desperate asures and give the demons a chance! Recruit more people from the martial halls, the orthodox path is always safer!"
"Yes! Yes!"
Che Linfang repeatedly apologized, then led away the trembling Zhang Xiaoli, who seed as if she had just walked through Ghost Gate.
Fang Yu didn’t want to kill Zhang Xiaoli and Che Linfang to preserve his identity.
It just wasn’t easy to make a move.
Four people ca to help.
But two of them were demons.
That could still be concealed with the pretense that demons were trying to infiltrate and harm themselves and their peers.
But if Zhang Xiaoli and Che Linfang were also found to be demons.
Then it would an all four helpers were demons.
What would that make Diao Deyi’s identity to be protected by four demons?
Let alone the fact that his identity itself was sowhat questionable, even if there were no issues, it would be like trying to wash mud off his body in the Yellow River and still not getting clean.
The most important thing is, he couldn’t defeat the abnormal Monk Quan Heng.
If there was even the slightest chance to kill Monk Quan Heng and silence him, Fang Yu might even consider using underhanded tactics.
Of course, that was just wishful thinking.
This Monk Quan Heng currently had the air of a grandmaster; such a person was considered a master among the human faction and was not to be killed needlessly.
