Blood Sacrifice Grand Array

Lin Feng chuckled inwardly at Chu Mengxi's ghost-like expression, but outwardly, he calmly explained, "Perhaps it's due to my deep prior accumulations. Today, upon witnessing a superior technique like the Blazing Sun Art, I was suddenly inspired and managed to break through by sheer luck."

Deep accumulations?

Breakthrough by sheer luck?

Chu Mengxi's lips twitched. She wanted to ask if a direct jump from the Ninth Level of Body Tempering to the Sixth Level of Meridian Opening Realm was considered a "breakthrough by sheer luck."

If this were to get out, the geniuses of the Demon Suppression Division would probably be so ashamed they'd find a piece of tofu and kill themselves.

However, she also knew that everyone had their own secrets.

Lin Feng must have hidden a tremendous opportunity within him.

"Congratulations. With your current strength, you are considered top-tier among the Iron Token Demon Slayers."

After speaking, she turned and left. However, her slightly hasty departure revealed her inner turmoil.

She needed to go back and calm herself down.

After seeing Chu Mengxi off, Lin Feng closed his door, a satisfied smile on his face.

With his strength greatly increased, he finally had some power to protect himself in this world.

However, he hadn't forgotten his little contributor.

"Huang Fugui."

"Yes! Master, you called?"

A yellow shadow darted out from under the bed – it was Huang Fugui.

It had been quite frightened by the terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations earlier and was now looking at Lin Feng with an expression of adoration, as if gazing upon a deity walking among mortals.

"You did well investigating the Zhang Manor this time. Tell me, what reward do you want?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Huang Fugui's small, bean-like eyes instantly lit up. It rubbed its front paws together and said obsequiously, "It is my fortune to serve you, Master. I dare not ask for any reward... However, if Master could reward me with a small, roasted chicken... no, two! That would be even better!"

This fellow's mind was filled with food.

Lin Feng found it amusing and shook his head. "Roasted chicken is certainly not lacking for you. However, I plan to give you something even better."

As he spoke, he took out the three Qi Replenishing Pills from his embrace.

These medicinal herbs were of little use to him now.

But for low-level demonic creatures like Huang Fugui, they were treasures not to be missed.

"Here, take these and eat them."

It was stunned at first, then ecstatic!

As a wild yellow weasel, its cultivation relied entirely on instinct and the meager inheritance within its bloodline. It took things one step at a time, and whether it could cultivate anything depended entirely on luck.

With human cultivation pills, it would be twice as effective with half the effort!

"Master! You... you are my reborn parents!"

Huang Fugui was so moved it teared up, clutching the bottle of pills and began to devour them, simultaneously circulating its demonic power.

It already possessed some spiritual awareness, and with the aid of the spiritual medicine, it was like a tiger with wings.

Its small body began to emit a strange yellow glow, and streams of pure medicinal power were rapidly refined by it, integrating into its limbs and bones.

The previously somewhat杂駁 demonic energy was visibly becoming purer and more condensed at an astonishing rate.

Its aura was also steadily climbing!

Peak first-tier... bottleneck...

"Boom!"

A surge of demonic energy erupted from Huang Fugui's body!

It had succeeded!

It had broken through the shackles of its bloodline, officially advancing from an unremarkable first-tier minor demon to a level comparable to the dog demon that had previously stolen its dwelling.

Its size hadn't changed much, but its yellow fur had become lustrous and smooth, and its pair of bean-like eyes had become even more intelligent and spirited.

"Thank you for your grace of rebirth, Master!"

Huang Fugui felt the surging demonic power within its body and excitedly kowtowed frantically to Lin Feng.

"Alright, get up."

Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction.

The stronger Huang Fugui became, the more things it could do for him.

"You are now considered a normal first-tier demonic beast. Your stealth and illusion abilities must have also improved significantly. I have a task for you."

Lin Feng's gaze turned serious.

"The Moon Worship Cult's plot is definitely not this simple. I want you to use all your abilities to thoroughly search an area of twenty li around Qingyang County! I need to know how many more unsavory rats are hidden here, and what exactly they are plotting!"

"Master, just you watch!"

Huang Fugui patted his chest and confidently assured him, "This little one feels full of energy right now! Forget this tiny Qingyang County, even turning Nan Yan Commandery upside down wouldn't be a problem! I guarantee I'll find out what color underwear those cultists wear!"

With that, his form flickered, transforming into a discernible yellow mist that slipped through the door crack and vanished into the night.

For the next two days, Qingyang County appeared calm on the surface.

Chu Mengxi and the other two spent their days poring over the Zhang Manor's files, trying to find any clues, but they found nothing.

The Moon Worship Cult's methods were too secretive. The destroyed strongholds had left behind almost no valuable leads.

This made even Chu Mengxi feel a hint of frustration.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng was consolidating his Sixth Level of Meridian Opening Realm cultivation, and at the same time, waiting for news from Huang Fugui.

He had a premonition that a greater storm was brewing quietly beneath this seemingly peaceful small city.

Until the evening of the third day.

Huang Fugui's extremely urgent voice finally echoed in his mind.

"Master! Something's gone wrong! Something big has happened!!"

"The entire county town has been enveloped by a massive formation! This little one discovered that the Ancient Well in the east of the city, the Land God Temple in the west, the Mourning Hall in the south, the River God Shrine in the north... even the depths of the County Office's dungeon, these nodes of the formation are hidden and are being activated simultaneously!"

"This is a... Blood Sacrifice Grand Array!"
