Chapter 1235 - 546: Knocking on the Door
[System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for killing [Jing Yingan], you have gained 1 experience point.]
[System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for killing...]
[System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for killing...]
[System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for killing...]
[System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for killing...]
[System Prompt: Detected...as human, [Green Demon Blood] bloodline talent triggered.]
[System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for increasing maximum life value by 6000 points.]
[System Prompt: Human Race conflict, resentment gathers as Evil Qi, entwining the body.]
Back at the inn, Fang Yu directly started reviewing the system logs.
Including Iron Leper, six people, six thousand blood, directly and neatly accounted for.
A bit troublesome though, killing so many people in a short time, the Evil Qi started to emerge again.
Although there’s [Soul Clothes], which can slowly absorb Evil Qi, the absorption efficiency is obviously not good.
Maybe, I have to get some Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling in Thunder City to hold the scene.
His gaze moved from the system logs, turning to attribute points.
[Attribute Points: 85.]
Along the way to Thunder City, although there weren’t any Great Demons, there were still some gains.
Without hesitation, Fang Yu directly started adding points.
[Attribute Points: 85→15.]
[Wood Zither Blade Technique [Wood Level Initial Stage/Initial Understanding]→Wood Zither Blade Technique [Wood Realm Middle Stage/Initial Understanding].]
A tremor in the breath, Fang Yu’s strength goes up a level.
It’s not far from Wood Realm Middle Stage.
Just need to push a bit more, get some attribute points, the breakthrough is just around the corner.
"Diao Deyi?"
Ding Hui turned back in confusion, she seemed to sense some kind of change in Fang Yu, but couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
At this moment, she is sorting through information.
Sitting and waiting for death is not Ding Hui’s style.
After encountering the issues at the Feng Tian Men workshop, Ding Hui quickly started investigating what happened at Feng Tian Men workshop that prompted the Foolish Underworld to stir up such a commotion.
Ding Hui’s social network is extensive, but it also means it’s messy.
The previous money shopkeeper is just one example.
Some people are reliable, some people are not.
Fortunately, this time while probing for information, the other party was someone who worked for money, so when the carrier pigeon flew to the window and left a note, Ding Hui also got a grasp of the situation from the Foolish Underworld side.
"What’s going on?"
Fang Yu stepped forward to ask.
Ding Hui had already handed over the note, then said thoughtfully.
"No wonder Foolish Underworld is so relentlessly hunting down demons, even using a rain of arrows to cleanse the land, they must eliminate the Defiled Blood Clone Demon, turns out the master above is affected."
Fang Yu took the note to look.
The note had a few lines written on it.
Ten days ago, Xiao Zhuo Lou had a riot, with demons revealing their true form and attacking others.
Five days ago, the An Family led a sweep of Xinghua Square, forcing multiple brothels in Xinghua Square to close down, and there were even rumors of women being taken away by the An Family from the brothels.
Three days ago, Foolish Underworld dispatched three captains to seal off multiple areas, causing special workshops to be unable to directly interact. It was not until this morning that the lockdown was lifted, suspecting they had already locked onto their target.
Fang Yu frowned.
"So, we were just unlucky to run into Foolish Underworld’s operations."
"Yes, but we are newcomers, did not expect, Thunder City’s Foolish Underworld to be so domineering."
Ding Hui slightly frowned.
In the city district, isolating and locking the workshops, such a big move, in Tianyuan Town, could only happen during a major incident.
From the aside, it also explains, Thunder City’s Foolish Underworld wields great power, and has close ties to the Ten Major Families above.
"When you find a demon in the city, it means there might already be hundreds of demons hidden within."
Fang Yu suddenly said.
Ding Hui looked at him.
"It’s true, the exposed demons are always few, it’s the ones hidden in the dark that are countless. Thunder City now has a one-way entry, perhaps also taking the opportunity of Blue Blood Disease, to shut the door, beat the dogs, and find a way there."
"Maybe I can help."
Fang Yu hinted.
Ding Hui frowned: "Not advisable, we are not officially recognized for exterminating demons, too blatant. Moreover, our goal is to find someone, isn’t it?"
Finding people has two approaches, low-key or high-profile.
Low-key methods, they’ve tried today.
Ding Hui was clearly underestimated by those social contacts.
The mere money shopkeeper dared to make plans against Ding Hui, truly not taking Ding Hui seriously.
Most hateful was, if those with Iron Leper really attacked Ding Hui together, with Ding Hui’s prowess, surviving would have been almost impossible.
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes.
"Your ’friends’, aren’t reliable."
"You mean Manager Huang?"
Ding Hui laughed.
"To connect with people like me, what moral standards can they have? Manager Huang’s move to incite others to kill, is just a small trick, not on the stage."
"He will pay for it." Fang Yu said coldly.
"Why? Going to stand up for me?" Ding Hui suddenly leaned a few steps closer to Fang Yu, blinked at him.
Fang Yu turned his face away.
"After all, your friends, aren’t reliable."
"They want money."
Ding Hui pat Fang Yu’s chest.
"This is just the first step, casting a wide net, for now the truth is mixed. My network from years ago, though some still remain in contact occasionally, the connection has long faded. Truth and falsehood, I must slowly probe, like this one..."
Ding Hui held the small note between her fingers.
"The accuracy of the information is pretty good, but now, we have to check out from this inn and switch to another. Otherwise, tonight, it might bring some trouble to our door."
