In the war between humans and demons, it's not unreasonable for me to absorb demonic energy, is

Just as Fan Tong was about to get up, he suddenly felt the Yama Ancient Sword in his dantian tremble violently, and it vibrated again as a warning.

The first warning came when the golden python was seen at Baibao Mountain. I initially thought it was a warning of a monster, but when the monster was seen, the ancient sword did not make any move.

Fan Tong was surprised. The ancient sword had issued a second warning. Could something have changed? He immediately perked up and carefully looked around.

"Rest assured, sir, I will certainly handle this matter well! Skyfire City... I will ensure... Rest assured, what you have entrusted to me... I will accomplish!"

A fawning voice drifted from afar. Fan Tong cautiously peered through the leaves and saw a middle-aged man in fine clothes speaking obsequiously to the man in black robes.

Upon seeing these two people, the Yama Ancient Sword trembled twice before falling silent, as if issuing a warning to its target.

The man in black robes exuded a calm and composed aura, similar to that of Elder Mochou in the sect. He was likely also at the Profound Spirit Realm, or, in the Demon Clan, the Profound Demon Realm.

He nodded, patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder with an approving look, and whispered a few more words of advice to the man, who was flattered, before turning and leaving.

Watching the two people walk in different directions, Fan Tong felt a sense of doubt, wondering why the Yama Ancient Sword would issue a warning when he looked at them.

"So mysterious, I wonder what their background is! But it must be related to Skyfire City!" Fan Tong shook his head and then sped off towards Skyfire City.

"Who are you looking for?" Upon arriving at the city lord's mansion in Tianhuo City, Fan Tong was stopped by a stern-faced guard.

"If I'm looking for Huo Xian, just say it's an old friend from Tianmu Forest visiting." Sensing the heavy atmosphere in the city lord's mansion, Fan Tong spoke calmly.

"Then wait here for a moment, I'll go and report right away!" The guard looked surprised, then quickly walked into the mansion.

While Fan Tong was waiting, a guard standing in the corner secretly pressed his spear three times on a certain spot.

"Our young city lord has never been to any Tianmu Forest. You'd better leave quickly!" The guards returned quickly and began to drive Fan Tong away.

"What? You want Huo Xian to come out? I want to ask him myself!" Upon hearing this, Fan Tong immediately realized that Huo Xian's situation might be dire and wanted to escalate the matter.

"How dare you! Where did this Tom, Dick, and Harry come from, barking wildly in front of the City Lord's Mansion? What are you guards good for? Get him out of here right now!" A stern shout came from inside the door, and then a person walked out.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Fan Tong's eyes narrowed; it was none other than the person warned by the Yama Ancient Sword this morning!

"Who are you? How dare you treat the Fengqing Sect members like this?" Upon seeing this, Fan Tong first brought up the Fengqing Sect.

"Haha, you liar are hilarious! The Fengqing Sect has a strict hierarchy, and the sect's attire is different for each sect. You don't even have a red robe, yet you dare to come here and impersonate someone else? Quickly capture him, and we can ask for a reward later!"

The middle-aged man's pupils contracted slightly, as if he was somewhat surprised that someone claiming to be a member of the Fengqing Sect had come.

"Stop! Cough cough! This is a distinguished guest I invited to resolve the crisis in Skyfire City! Who dares to show the slightest disrespect? Cough cough!"

Just as Fan Tong was about to make his move, Lai Fu's slightly hurried voice came from inside the city lord's mansion.

Seeing that only two guards hesitated while the others attacked him without hesitation, Fan Tong made up his mind that Huo Xian's situation was very bad.

I couldn't be bothered to argue with these guards who were at the first or second level of the Spirit Realm. Since they dared to attack me, they should naturally bear the consequences.

With a slight movement, Fan Tong sent the guards, who hadn't even had time to draw their weapons, flying straight into the distance and crashing to the ground with thuds.

Of course, as punishment, Fan Tong would not take their lives, but it was inevitable that they would have to stay in bed for ten days or half a month.

"Hmph! You are really insolent! You dare to disrespect even the young city lord's guest, and a disciple of the Fengqing Sect at that. You have a death wish!" Lai Fu said angrily.

"Laifu, you say he's a disciple of the Fengqing Sect, so he is? The disciples of the Fengqing Sect are such noble beings, how could they possibly come to a poor, remote place like Tianhuo City?" The middle-aged man's tone was disdainful, but his voice was full of doubt.

"Chief Guard Ma, you may not know this, but because the city lord was harmed by those demon bastards, even though the young city lord survived by the skin of his teeth to obtain the Poison Spider Grass, hoping to use poison to fight poison and save the city lord, the effect was still not ideal. Therefore, the young city lord sent out a distress signal to ask the Fengqing Sect to send people to help."

Ignoring the slightly unpleasant expression on Chief Guard Ma's face, Lai Fu continued to say to Fan Tong, "I suppose Young Master Fan must have come without stopping to arrive so early. On behalf of my young city lord, I am extremely grateful!"

"Since the Fengqing Sect is sending people, they can naturally handle this matter quickly. However, with this mere fifth-level Human Spirit Realm fellow, I'm afraid he won't be able to solve the problem even after I'm dead!"

Ma Qiduo suppressed the awkwardness in his eyes, first touched Feng Qingzong, then looked at Fan Tong with great disdain, and then turned and walked out!

"Young Master Fan, please come inside!" Fan Tong was about to speak when Lai Fu grabbed him and pulled him towards the city lord's mansion.

"Laifu, what's going on now? And who is this guy surnamed Ma?" Fan Tong was curious about who Ma Qiduo was.

"The situation is indeed quite critical now, otherwise we wouldn't have sought help from the Fengqing Sect. There's still no sign of the old city lord being cured of his poison, and those demons, we don't know what their intentions are, are constantly coming out to harm some people, so the people in the city are in a state of panic."

“Unlike me, who is in charge of both the inside and outside of the City Lord’s Mansion, Ma Qiduo is the captain of the City Lord’s Mansion’s guards and also an instructor for the manor’s army, so he has some prestige within the City Lord’s Mansion. Especially after the old City Lord was poisoned, he started to act arrogantly and domineeringly, relying on his cultivation at the seventh level of the Human Spirit Realm!”

Lai Fu sighed deeply and explained the current situation as he walked.

"How could Huo Kong not choose someone he knows well for such an important position? It's unbelievable that this has led to such a situation where the person has become too powerful to control!" Fan Tong thought to himself, speechless.

"Ma Qiduo was alright before, but I don't know why he's become so arrogant and domineering in the last year! Let's not talk about him anymore. Our young city lord is with the old city lord. Let's go there and find him!"

After Lai Fu finished speaking, he saw Fan Tong nod and then stopped talking and led the way!

"Thank you so much, Brother Fan, for coming to my rescue. I am truly grateful!" Upon seeing Fan Tong enter the room, Huo Xian hurriedly got up from beside the bed and immediately bowed.

"You don't need to be so polite. This is a win-win situation for us. I'm happy to help you through this difficult time. Now let me check on your father's injuries." Fan Tong helped Huo Xian up, offered a word of comfort, and then quickly went to Huo Kong's side.

Just as Fan Tong was about to sit down to take Huo Xian's pulse, he suddenly froze, then pretended nothing was wrong and sat down!
