Hei Ao and Zuo Lv collected their rewards in Jin'an City before leaving for Qiliang Mountain to meet Senior Sister Lu. Upon arrival, they found the mountain path littered with demon corpses, indicating a strong human presence. They met Lulu, who was tending to a slain tiger demon and holding the Buddha's Heart. After reporting their mission's completion, Lulu tasked them with investigating demon activity in the Capital City, assigning them to a larger sect operation.

"Lord Tang, I wonder if in the afterlife you would agree with what I’m doing."

"My life, you gave it to me!"

"Even if there is no title, Lu Lu will always be your daughter!"

"A sea of deep hatred, how can Lu Lu turn a blind eye!"

"Ten years? A hundred years? A thousand years? I can’t wait, I want Lan Yuhe dead, I want Lan Yuhe dead now, I want to avenge you!"

Clenching her fist, Lu Lu set off directly with Hei Ao and Zuo Lv.

Under the mountain road, not far away, one can vaguely see a small town, where people from the Absolute Sect have already arranged horses, supplies, and some manpower to head to Shangjing together with them!

Convincing the Sect Leader of the Absolute Sect is not easy, but if you bring along official duties and the task of clearing the Capital City Demons, the matter becomes negotiable.

...

Jin’an City.

Fang Yu stood on the top of the city gate, looking back at the bustling street.

"Husband, don’t wait anymore, the coachman and guards are getting impatient."

Ding Hui’s voice sounded, bringing Fang Yu’s gaze back.

Looking forward.

[Quan Yingnan: 2570/2570]

[Hu Chenlong: 1623/1623]

[Wang Mengyun: 1354/1354]

[Hua Shuifeng: 1000/1000]

[Mao Xiahuan: 999/999]

[Kuang Jiang: 10/10]

The five bodyguards, plus a coachman, had been waiting for a long time.

With Fang Yu’s strength, it was naturally unnecessary for him to be protected by others, but he couldn’t guarantee he would be by Ding Hui’s side at all times.

When necessary, he still hoped someone could offer a little buffer time for him.

Even if they don’t have the power to protect people, just diverting a bit of the demon’s attention can buy him more rescue time.

Based on this consideration, Fang Yu spent money to hire these people.

And naturally, these people were chosen by Fang Yu’s discerning eye.

Above them is the Foolish Underworld House Captain Level, at that level it gets difficult to recruit them.

Not only do you need to spend more money and resources, but also time to communicate, build trust, and even poach.

Such strength that is left out there, in such small towns, is almost unseen, belonging to the lucky finds of lucky finds, or they have some hidden issues.

"Madam, Master, shall we depart now?"

Seeing the two masters get on the carriage, the coachman quickly and fawningly asked.

The surrounding people also prepared themselves and all looked towards Fang Yu.

Youngest Mao Xiahuan seemed to have a hint of disdain in her eyes, and the target was precisely Fang Yu.

Fang Yu had an urge, immediately understood the reason behind Mao Xiahuan’s look.

Although when selecting the people, she went with him, when it came to paying, naturally Ding Hui handled it.

So Mao Xiahuan might have some misunderstanding.

But Fang Yu didn’t care about her.

He doesn’t care what others think; with strength in hand, such small matters aren’t worth his reaction.

Compared to Mao Xiahuan, the reactions of others were much more normal—ages varied, the middle-aged uncle with a face full of stubble, Quan Yingnan, who was the oldest also the leader of this Guard Team, getting the most pay, responsible for the team’s coordination and overall command.

"Let’s go."

With Fang Yu’s order.

The team began its journey, leaving Jin’an City, slowly setting off along the official road.

This time, it wasn’t to escape, nor was it a hurried departure, so the preparations were relatively sufficient; sitting in the carriage, Fang Yu and Ding Hui’s mood was a bit more relaxed.

"Husband, should we visit Guanghan City?"

Fang Yu was taken aback.

"What kind of place is Guanghan City?"

"Does the husband not know? Guanghan City is the superior city of Tianyuan Town, theoretically speaking, if the husband’s Foolish Underworld identity in Tianyuan Town has passed up the records, then the husband’s Foolish Underworld Captain and Acting Hall Master identities would be recorded within Guanghan City’s Foolish Underworld."

Ding Hui stared intently at Fang Yu, slowly continued: "This means, theoretically, if all the records are in and all reported, then when the husband reports to Guanghan City’s Foolish Underworld, the Foolish Underworld official position can be restored, though it would depend on where and how the new appointment would be allocated."

Ah?

Fang Yu was stunned.

So he could restore his Foolish Underworld identity?

But thinking again, with Tianyuan Town gone, what would be the point of restoring this position? Being assigned to remote towns like cattle and horses again?

Reflecting on this, Fang Yu shook his head slightly.

"No need, I have no intention of reinstating my position... Wait! Do you have this idea? If I restore my position, would there be any advantage?"

Ding Hui smiled: "Husband, we are heading to the place where convergence occurs, also the entire Da Xia Dynasty, the realm of utmost power, identity, and origin. High and low differences, even a stray dog at the street sides in the Capital needs to be sorted into distinctions. If you can restore your position, even if you don’t go to duty, it still counts as having an official background, making it perhaps more convenient in the Capital."

Fang Yu frowned: "So, what you mean... visit Guanghan City? Restore my position?"

Ding Hui shook her head: "No need, I have thought carefully, if Guanghan City truly has the husband’s records, the Capital should be able to trace the origin as well. Upon reaching the Capital, should there be a need, someone would be eager to help you restore the position."

Someone... to help me restore my position?

Fang Yu appeared confused, not understanding what Ding Hui implied, who could be so idle.

But Ding Hui didn’t elaborate much, instead, she started talking about other matters, all about her recent research findings or various speculations, oddities, and whims.

During such times, Fang Yu invariably felt that when Ding Hui spoke these to him, it was like playing the lute to a cow, but Ding Hui consistently enjoyed talking no matter if Fang Yu understood or not.

Regarding whether Fang Yu was willing to listen... he was indeed willing, probably because he got used to it; not listening to Ding Hui’s ’chatter’ each day left him uneasy.

In the hypnotic voice, Fang Yu’s thoughts returned to three days ago when he was practicing the "Six-Star Formation Art."

He mostly comprehended the Six-Star Formation Art, only needing to successfully perform it to increase proficiency.

It wasn’t his lack of intelligence, but the Six-Star Formation Art did have a degree of difficulty; its six stars contained astrological knowledge.

Such strange academic knowledge like astronomy, Fang Yu didn’t understand, he had to ask Ding Hui before figuring out some parts.

No matter what, if he keeps exploring, the cultivation technique is basically in hand.

He lifted the carriage curtain; the scenery outside was good.

Unlike modern cities, the wild Seeking Demon World is a realm dominated by demons and is also unattended, where all kinds of peculiar plants grow wildly, resembling a primitive ecosystem.

Besides the potential demon attacks, the wilderness scenery was soul-refreshing.

His gaze fell on the several guards riding alongside the team.

Each with strength above the Thousand Blood Power is already enough to give one a certain sense of security.

Anywhere, anyone with Thousand Blood Power has the ability to leave the towns and head to the wilderness.

How long you survive outside and whether demons kill you is another matter.

At Three Thousand Blood Power, you have group-leading ability, becoming wilderness squad leaders at such strength.

Unless encountering a huge Monster Great Demon, such teams are generally capable of self-preservation.

Further up, experts with several thousand blood, or even Wood Realm Peak experts, belong to organized forces recognized everywhere; ordinary Great Demons dare not to provoke such teams.

But truly run into a disaster like the Ten Thousand Blood Great Demon near Da Liang City previously, even Wood Realm Peak experts would face defeat, requiring Demon Martial Artists or Believers surpassing human limits to be contenders.

Thus, the scale of wilderness teams is distinguished as individuals, squads, super squads, and Transcender teams.

Beyond that, Fang Yu lacks concept; he has limited exposure.

Seeing the tranquil official road and the guards beside the team like golden guardians, Fang Yu greeted Ding Hui, instructing her to awaken him if situations arose, then fell into a deep slumber.

Some matters needed addressing.
