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

"Young city lord, we're only here to give you face. What's wrong with having some maids from your household serve you?"

"Exactly, besides, we haven't even done anything yet, and you dare to bother us?"

"I see you don't want to deal with those demons, so just wait for them to come and wipe out your damn city lord's mansion!"

……

The sounds of maids crying and a few people arguing kept Huo Xian from speaking.

"Who's farting there? It stinks horribly!" Fan Tong stepped into the mansion, pinching his nose in disgust.

"Daring? Who is he? It's none of your business to interfere in Feng Qingzong's affairs."

"Yeah, where did this guy come from? Just because..."

The arrogant Fengqing Sect disciple cursed and turned to look at Fan Tong. But when he saw Fan Tong's face clearly, he immediately cowered like a duck with its neck being choked!

“Speak up! Why aren’t you saying anything?” Fan Tong looked at the leader with amusement.

"Fan...Fan Tong, how did you end up leaving the sect?" Ke Bu'e sighed inwardly at his bad luck. He was already at the bottom of the sect and wanted to find some recognition in Tianhuo City, but instead he ran into such a living devil.

"Do I need to report to you where I am? You've really disgraced the Fengqing Sect. Aren't you afraid the Enforcement Hall will come after you when you get back?"

"Fan Tong, we know we were wrong, but please don't tell the people from the Enforcement Hall!" Ke Bu'e trembled. These junior disciples dared not let the Enforcement Hall find any fault with them.

"Let me ask you, how many people from the Fengqing Sect came this time?" Fan Tong was curious about the impact of this sudden mission.

"Because the reward isn't very high, not many people came this time, only about thirty. They're all in the city searching for information. But many people are waiting for news, and if the reward were high enough, they would probably come immediately," Ke Bu'e answered cautiously.

"So, do you know anything about it?"

"Well, we asked the young city lord, but he couldn't say anything either. We were just about to go out and investigate, and this misunderstanding happened!"

"A bunch of idiots looking for a beating. I can't be bothered with you. Get lost and stop getting in my way. Oh, and go tell the other disciples that I, Fan Tong, said that finding clues is one thing, but if they dare to disturb the residents, see how I deal with them!"

Seeing Ke Bu'e and the others' behavior, Fan Tong felt somewhat worried, so he asked Ke Bu'e to pass on a message, hoping that the disciples would have some reservations.

"Alright, don't worry, I'll definitely pass on the message!" Seeing that Fan Tong didn't make any other moves, Ke Bu'e immediately led his underlings outside happily.

He didn't want to be beaten up by Fan Tong again. In the past, being beaten up would only hurt for a few days, but now it would be like breaking bones!

"Brother Fan, thank goodness you came back in time, otherwise I wouldn't know how to deal with them!" Huo Xian breathed a sigh of relief. He was very fortunate to have met Fan Tong, a cultivator with a good temper.

"Don't worry this time. With me here, they shouldn't dare to act any more recklessly! Let's go, let's go to your father's place first." Fan Tong comforted Huo Xian, and then led him to Huo Kong's room.

"What? Ma Qiduo actually has ten demons under his command? Alas, I really misjudged him; I didn't even discover his wolfish ambitions! I wonder what their purpose is?"

Huo Kong was somewhat annoyed, regretting his previous blindness, and even more worried because his cultivation had not yet recovered.

"They must have some kind of conspiracy that requires the use of your ancestral concealment technique. Now that they say there's not enough time, they might be able to completely resolve this in a few days."

"Alas! I hope so! But how to deal with these ten demons is something I'll have to trouble Young Master Fan with!"

"Don't worry, I've already taken care of six. There are still four in Magidor's courtyard. However, the disappearance of the other demons has probably caught Magidor's attention, and he'll likely be looking for you soon!"

Fan Tong gave Huo Kong a reassuring look, but was a little worried that Ma Qiduo would come over soon.

Of course, his concern wasn't about being unable to defeat Maqiduo, but rather that his body was currently unable to absorb the golden spiritual energy, causing their demonic energy to be devoured by the Yama Ancient Sword and wasted.

"Oh? That's wonderful! If you can get through this, I'll definitely repay you handsomely!"

Fan Tong told Huo Kong and Huo Xian about his plan, instructing them to continue pretending to be poisoned and wait for Ma Qiduo to take the bait.

Afterwards, led by Lai Fu, Fan Tong arrived at a quiet courtyard in the city lord's mansion and began to temper his physical body.

The night passed quickly in cultivation. With the help of the nameless cultivation technique, Fan Tong finally improved his physical body and was able to use the spiritual power of the sixth level of the Human Spirit Realm at will, without worrying about the danger of his physical body being torn apart.

"What a pity! If my physical body could advance further, I could quickly improve my cultivation level!" Fan Tong sighed. Although he had made progress, he was still somewhat dissatisfied.

That's just how people are. No matter who it is, even if they've already gotten a huge advantage, they still want more!

"Let's go check on Huo Kong, lest Ma Qiduo wipes them all out!" Fan Tong stopped his thoughts of continuing to hone his physical body and headed towards Huo Kong.

Entering the room, he saw Huo Kong's complexion gradually regaining its rosy hue and was pleased. "He's recovering well; it won't be long before he fully recovers his strength!"

"Haha, that's all thanks to you, Young Master Fan. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd be a walking corpse by now!" Huo Kong laughed heartily, his tone filled with gratitude.

He didn't care about death, but he was truly terrified of becoming a puppet without his own consciousness!

"Guard Ma, what are you doing? Who are these people you've brought?" Lai Fu's voice came from the doorway.

"These are the extraordinary people I invited. Let them take a look and see if they can revive the city lord as soon as possible!" Ma Qiduo once again broke through Lai Fu's obstruction and forced his way into the house.

He couldn't wait any longer. First, the five underlings he sent out to assassinate Laifu disappeared, then another underling mysteriously vanished, and dozens of Fengqing Sect disciples appeared outside.

Based on the timeline, and with the help of the four demon minions he brought, Huo Kong should be able to become a demon servant soon, thus completing this mission.

"Chief Guard Ma, why are you barging in again and disturbing my father's rest?" Huo Xian said irritably, unable to suppress his anger.

"Young City Lord, please don't be offended! This is all to save the Old City Lord as soon as possible! Let me see the Old City Lord!"

Ma Qiduo glanced at Fan Tong, who was sitting next to Huo Kong, but didn't pay any attention to Fan Tong's hand on Huo Kong's wrist.

Seeing that the old city lord was still in the same state of poisoning, and after carefully sensing the aura within the old city lord's body, Ma Qiduo felt slightly relieved.

"It seems that only this last step is needed to complete the transformation, and then I can retire successfully!" Ma Qiduo now just wants to finish the job as soon as possible and retreat. He feels a strong sense of crisis.

"Come on, you four, help me check on the old city lord's condition!" Ma Qiduo ordered the four demons, wanting to use the demonic energy within them to increase the conversion speed of Huo Kong.

Just as the four demons poured their demonic energy into Huo Kong's body, a sudden change occurred!
