Half-step Dan Yuan Realm

The entire Demon Suppression Division, from the Bronze Token Envoys down to the sweeping staff, were all petrified on the spot.

After all that effort, this menacing great demon... had come to acknowledge its ancestors?

And to acknowledge King Yama Lin, no less?

Just as everyone was reeling in confusion, a gentle voice sounded from behind them.

"Disperse, everyone. It's just a little demon that stumbled upon some good fortune. Look at how scared you all are."

The Silver Token Manager had appeared in the field at some unknown time. He glanced at Huang Fugui, who was prostrating himself, and then at Lin Feng's calm face, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

"Lin Feng, come with me."

Lin Feng nodded, grabbing Huang Fugui by the scruff of its neck like a chick, and followed the Manager into the secluded courtyard.

The Manager sat down by the pond and gestured to a stone stool opposite him, signaling Lin Feng to sit as well.

"Our Demon Suppression Division has had a strict rule since its establishment."

The Manager spoke leisurely, "Humans and demons walk separate paths. Demon Slayers are forbidden from associating with demons, let alone raising them as pets in secret. Those who violate this will have their cultivation abolished and be thrown into the death row."

Huang Fugui trembled all over in fear, nearly wetting itself on the spot.

Lin Feng, however, remained unfazed and said calmly, "Rules are dead, but people are alive."

"Well said."

The Manager nodded approvingly. "Rules are meant to restrain the mediocre. For true geniuses, rules are meant to be broken."

His tone shifted, and his gaze sharpened.

"This Yellow Weasel has good roots. Having gained fortune through you, its future achievements are limitless. I can make an exception and allow you to keep it by your side."

Huang Fugui was overjoyed upon hearing this and was about to kowtow in gratitude.

"However."

The Manager's voice suddenly turned cold, "You must remember, if you are part of the Demon Suppression Division, you must uphold its ways. You can use it as an informant, a helper. But if it dares to harm an innocent citizen, or commit any heinous act..."

He paused, his gaze like lightning, staring directly at Lin Feng.

"I will kill you and it, together."

These words were spoken plainly, yet they carried an undeniable dominance and authority.

Lin Feng knew he wasn't joking.

"Manager, rest assured."

He replied calmly, "My blade only slays the demons that deserve to be slain, and kills only the people who deserve to be killed."

"Good, with those words, I am at ease."

The Manager nodded with satisfaction. "Go on, the future of this world will depend on you young people."

When Lin Feng emerged from the Manager's courtyard with Huang Fugui, the news once again shocked the entire Demon Suppression Division.

The Manager had actually broken the iron rule for Lin Feng!

Allowing him to keep a demon as a pet!

This was an unprecedented honor since the establishment of the Nan Yan Commandery's Demon Suppression Division!

"Brother Lin is going to reach the heavens!"

Zhao Tie and Li Rui exclaimed with envy.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng had already returned to his own courtyard.

"Master! You are truly my reborn parent, my heaven! I, Huang Fugui..."

"Enough, spare the flattery,"

Lin Feng interrupted Huang Fugui's sycophancy. "Tell me, after being in seclusion for so long, what new skills have you acquired?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Fugui's spirits immediately lifted. It puffed out its small chest and said proudly, "Master, just you wait and see! Your humble servant is no longer the same as before!"

As soon as it finished speaking, its small body flickered violently.

With a "whoosh," it transformed into over a dozen identical Huang Fuguis in the same spot. Each one was lifelike, even mimicking the slyness in their eyes with uncanny accuracy.

"This is my innate divine ability—'Multiple Shadow Clones'! Pfft, it's 'Yellow Wind Phantom'! It's enough to pass off the fake as real and confuse enemies!"

Immediately after, it opened its small mouth and blew gently at a rockery in the courtyard.

A visible, condensed yellow wind blade shot out, silently slicing the hard rockery in half with a mirror-smooth cut.

"This is my innate demonic art—'Bone-Corroding Demonic Wind'! It turns bone to blood and can destroy anything!"

Huang Fugui became more and more pleased with itself, feeling incredibly powerful.

However, just as it was about to continue showcasing its "earth-shattering" strength.

A playful smile tugged at the corner of Lin Feng's lips.

"Not bad, some progress has been made."

With a flicker of his thoughts, he opened the System panel.

[Ding! Consumed 20,000 Crit Points, Nine Yang Limitless Art crit success!]

Nine Yang Limitless Art, Beginner!

Cultivation, Half-step Dan Yuan Realm!

Boom!!!

A terrifying, supremely yang and unyielding pressure erupted from Lin Feng's body in an instant!

This pressure wasn't even deliberately aimed at anyone; it simply radiated naturally.

But Huang Fugui, who was gloating and showing off his strength, was struck as if by an invisible divine mountain!

Plop!

Its fierce and unmatched demonic energy was instantly scattered and disorganized.

All of its illusions exploded with a "bang," and its own legs went weak, causing it to prostrate itself on the ground, its yellow fur plastered tightly against its skin, trembling like a sieve.

It felt as if it were facing not a person, but a blazing sun walking the mortal realm!

That pressure amplified the fear of its natural predator, a fear that originated from the deepest part of its bloodline, to an infinite degree!

"Mas-master... Ancestor..."

Huang Fugui's voice trembled, and it couldn't even lift its head.

Its newfound confidence was utterly crushed by Lin Feng's display.

"How is it? Still think you're so great?"

Lin Feng retracted his pressure and asked with a smile.

"Not great anymore! Never great again!"

Huang Fugui scrambled to Lin Feng's feet, hugging his boots, and cried with a snotty nose and tears.

"Master, you are the truly great one! You're the father of the Bull Demon King, your might reaches the heavens! In front of you, I'm not even a single strand of bull hair!"

After personally experiencing what a "dimensional reduction attack" was, Huang Fugui became completely docile. The way it looked at Lin Feng now could no longer be described as admiration; it was a reverence and fervor akin to looking at a god or Buddha.

To atone for its earlier mistake of "showing off in front of an expert," it used all its skills to frantically try and please Lin Feng.

One moment it massaged his shoulders, the next it pounded his legs, and then it used its own tail as a duster, sweeping away all the dust in the courtyard until it was spotless.

"Master, please sit, please sit."

Huang Fugui bowed and scraped as it served Lin Feng a cup of hot tea. "Master, with your strength, I don't think you'd just be walking sideways in this small Nan Yan Commandery, but throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty!"

Lin Feng took a sip of tea and said nothing.

Huang Fugui's eyes darted around. It believed it understood its master's thoughts best and immediately leaned in, speaking in a "I understand you" tone, lowering its voice conspiratorially and slyly:

"Master, I know your ambitions are high and you're not interested in those mortal women. But speaking of which, that little girl from the City Lord's mansion is truly beautiful. Her figure, her face, tsk tsk tsk..."

As it spoke, it used its two front paws to gesture an extremely exaggerated hourglass shape.

"I can see her intentions towards you are as clear as day to everyone. Master, even though you're not interested in a dual-cultivation partner, taking her as a plaything, to warm your bed, give you massages, or have her sing you a little song to pass the time, wouldn't that be nice? She's practically throwing herself at you anyway, so why not take her? Hehehe..."
