Demons

Du Wenming came to He Jiaqing, saying he had a good deal to make.

He Jiaqing pointed to the new land behind him: "What do you think of this deal?" "Reclaiming land in a new place? Is that a deal?" Du Wenming said dismissively.

He Jiaqing answered very seriously, "In Pro State, this is the most legitimate business." "I know Yu Yaoming's whereabouts. Are you interested in doing this deal?"

He Jiaqing thought for a moment and asked, "Is Yu Yaoming still at Lu Family Bookstore?" Du Wenming nodded.

He Jiaqing shook his head: "Let's forget about this deal. I don't want to hurt Boss Lu relationship." "Are you scared of Zhou Badou?" Du Wenming laughed.

Du Wenming was right; He Jiaqing was indeed terrified of being beaten.

Seeing that He Jiaqing remained silent, Du Wenming continued, "Then let's change the business. Yu Yaoming did succeed in using the boundary-crossing device; people can use his device to enter the wormhole, but some special methods are needed to get out."

I can reveal some of his core technical details to you, but only if you help me get something.

He Jiaqing looked Du Wenming up and down, guessing Du Wenming's request. "You have a mark on your body, a very troublesome mark. You want me to help you remove it?"

Unexpectedly, He Jiaqing was able to see the key point at a glance, and Du Wenming nodded repeatedly. "It seems I've found the right person."

He Jiaqing looked around. "This business is feasible, but we need to hurry. The person who left your mark might be looking for you soon, and I don't want to get involved in this."

"Show me the relevant core information first. I need to verify if it's truly valuable." Du Wenming frowned. "Pay first, then do the work?"

He Jiaqing nodded. "Do you think I'm a bit domineering? If you're not satisfied, you can find someone else, but the person you're looking for should be very close to you." Du Wenming didn't hesitate any longer, took out a file folder, and handed it to He Jiaqing.

He Jiaqing opened the document and looked at it. It did indeed provide a detailed explanation of Yaoming's research results, and there was also relevant experimental data. "This data was collected before Yaoming's arrest. Isn't it a bit outdated?" He Jiaqing seemed somewhat critical.

Du Wenming stood still. Behind him, in a large tree, a crow's neck tilted to the right, its head bent a full ninety degrees. Click!

He Jiaqing's head was tilted to a ninety-degree angle.

He Jiaqing was shocked. He had been on guard against Du Wenming's techniques, but Du Wenming did not use his techniques on He Jiaqing directly. Instead, he used his techniques on Crow, and Crow passed the techniques on to He Jiaqing.

"I paid you, but you didn't do the job. That's where you're wrong." Du Wenming's eyes flashed coldly.

He Jiaqing tilted his head and smiled, "Don't be nervous. I just have some questions about the contents of the information. I will never break my promise." Du Wenming waved his hand, and He Jiaqing's neck straightened up again.

They stared at each other for a moment, the cold wind blowing against their cheeks like sharp blades.

If it really came down to Decide Life and Death, He Jiaqing felt he could beat Du Wenming, but he didn't want to fight.

He Jiaqing extended his right hand toward Du Wenming: "It may be a little offensive, please don't mind." Du Wenming nodded slightly, watching as He Jiaqing's hand went into his stomach.

A dozen seconds later, He Jiaqing pulled his hand out. On his palm was a "Zhou" character, black ink and dripping blood.

"This is the mark on your body. I've already guessed who left it."

Destroying this mark won't be easy. If you're going to take this with you, I don't want the Inkwell Scholar to find this place.

Du Wenming shook his head and said, "I don't intend to take him away. I paid you to do this, so naturally you should be responsible for cleaning up the mess. That's fair and reasonable." Du Wenming stood facing He Jiaqing, taking large strides as if he were walking forward, but his body was rapidly retreating, and his figure quickly disappeared into the forest. Does walking have to be done with Dance Steps?

He Jiaqing thought for a moment before he understood the reasoning: with Du Wenming's way of walking, it would be difficult for others to follow him.

He quickly hid the documents Du Wenming had brought him inside his clothes, but he still needed to deal with the bloody "Zhou" character in his hand as soon as possible.

He Jiaqing just said is true. Destroying this mark is indeed not easy. He can't do it on his own right now; he needs a magical artifact. But this artifact isn't on him. To be precise, it doesn't belong to him; it belongs to Xie Juncong, the First Boss the Ghost Hand Gate.

Getting something from Xie Juncong wouldn't normally be a problem, but the situation is different now. He Jiaqing knows that Smiling Thousand Hands has his eye on him, and the chances of Xie Juncong harming him are high.

Since the mark was difficult to erase, He Jiaqing came up with an idea: he decided to hide it.

Hiding him in Chu Yaoqian's territory is definitely not suitable. Once Zhou Badou finds him, a little torture will force Chu Yaoqian to reveal He Jiaqing. So where should we hide him?

Flower Immortal Manor, a place where Hua Manchun!

Hua Manchun's territory was adjacent to Chu Yaoqian's. Hua Manchun was killed by Li Banfeng, and the territory has been taken over by Li Banfeng. It is currently being managed by Ma Wu.

Bury this mark in the Flower Immortal Manor. When Zhou Badou finds the mark, he can only go to Li Qi and Ma Wu to hold them accountable, and it will have nothing to do with He Jiaqing. Thinking of this, He Jiaqing pulled out a wooden box from his pocket, put the character "Zhou" inside, and ran like the wind to the Flower Immortal Manor.

.

At dusk, Boss Lu arrived at the Flower Immortal Manor and dug out a wooden box in the woods outside the manor. Inside the box was a bloodstained character "Zhou". This was the mark he left on Du Wenming's body, and now it was unknown who had buried it here.

Boss Lu knew the rules of the Flower Immortal Manor well; men weren't allowed inside. But seeing men coming and going proved some of the rumors were true. Flower Immortal Manor had changed hands, and this was related to Li Qi and Ma Wu.

Does the character "Zhou" have anything to do with them? Or has Du Wenming ever visited Flower Immortal Manor?

As Boss Lu was pondering, he suddenly saw a familiar face emerge from the manor. Luo ZhengNan was leading a group of craftsmen into the woods to select timber. Boss Lu didn't hide or conceal himself, but went straight up to greet him, "Hall Master Luo, it's been a long time."

Luo ZhengNan was taken aback, then stepped forward to greet him, "Boss Lu, what brings you here? Are you perhaps opening a bookstore in the Flower Immortal Manor?"

Boss Lu laughed and said, "Hall Master Luo, you're really joking. Men aren't allowed to enter Flower Immortal Manor. How can I do business here? I was just delivering books to a customer and happened to be passing by."

Luo ZhengNan shook his head repeatedly. "Boss Lu, what you're talking about is ancient history. The rules of the Flower Immortal Manor have changed. If you want to open a shop here, just let me know and I'll choose a good location for you."

Boss Lu clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Once I've saved up some capital, I'll come back to trouble Hall Master Luo again in the future."

The two men spoke with perfect tact. Who was Boss Lu delivering the book to? What kind of book was it? Why did he travel such a long distance? These were questions Boss Lu couldn't answer, but Luo ZhengNan didn't ask any further.

Similarly, why were the rules of the Flower Immortal Manor changed? Who is in charge of the Flower Immortal Manor now? These were questions that Luo ZhengNan couldn't answer openly, and Boss Lu didn't ask a single one either.

The two chatted casually, just like they had bumped into each other on the street in Green Water City. When they had finished talking, Boss Lu clasped his hands in farewell and left. As soon as he was out of sight, Luo ZhengNan immediately called Li Banfeng.

"Did Boss Lu go to the Flower Immortal Manor?" Li Banfeng couldn't figure out Boss Lu's intentions either. Instead of guessing, he decided to find a suitable day to ask Boss Lu in person.

Which day would be suitable? Li Banfeng flipped through the almanac...

Boss Lu returned to his bookstore in Green Water City, went up to the second floor, and said to Yu Yaoming, "Du Wenming escaped; I couldn't catch him." Yu Yaoming was surprised. "Didn't you say you left a mark? Your mark isn't working anymore?"

Boss Lu shook his head and said, "Someone removed the mark from Du Wenming's body and buried it at the Flower Immortal Manor." "What kind of place is Flower Immortal Manor?"

"It is said to be Li Qi's place."

"Li Qi?" Yu Yaoming asked in astonishment. "Li Qi and Du Wenming have a grudge. I was arrested by Li Qi, and Du Wenming rescued me. Later, Du Wenming wanted to help me get my equipment back, but he fell into Li Qi's trap and lost his identity as Outer State and all his belongings."

Their hatred runs deep, and they're bound to fight to the death in the future. How could Li Qi possibly save Du Wenming?

Boss Lu sat beside the Tea Furnace, poking at the charcoal fire. "It's a bustling place, full of people coming and going for profit. The boundary line involves a lot of interests. Li Qi must also want a way to break through the boundary." Yu Yaoming thought about it, but still felt it didn't make sense. "He found Du Wenming's mark and then buried it on his own territory? Doesn't that mean he's making it clear to you?"

Boss Lu put some tea leaves into the teapot. "It would be unreasonable for others to do this, but Li Qi never cares about reason when he does things. He might be warning me that Du Wenming has become his man and that I should not lay a hand on Du Wenming again."

"He warned you?" Yu Yaoming felt this was unreasonable. "Does he have that kind of power?"

Boss Lu poured two cups of tea, one for Yu Yaoming and one for himself. "Strength and combat power are two different things. Whether it's Inner State, Outer State, or Pro State, Li Qi has the resources. Resources are strength. I admire this person, and I don't want to fall out with him."

Yu Yaoming looked distressed. "If we don't break ties with him, won't the issue of boundaries be exposed?"

"I need to find an opportunity to sound out Li Qi. I can't rush things; I have to probe indirectly and test the waters repeatedly," Boss Lu, sipping his tea and thinking about his next move. Yu Yaoming also had an idea when he noticed a magazine on the bookshelf move.

This is a magazine published in Black Stone Slope, which Yu Yaoming particularly loves to read. The cover features three beautiful women in traditional clothing, bowing with clasped hands to wish everyone a Happy New Year. On the first page of the magazine, the three women have changed out of their traditional clothing and are each holding a gold ingot, symbolizing the wish for wealth and prosperity.

On the second page of the text, six women, without their traditional clothing, each hold a golden ruyi (a type of scepter), symbolizing good fortune and all things going Everything Goes Well. On the third page of the text, Tang Shijiang holds a pot of Peony Flower, symbolizing wealth and prosperity.

This page is very important. Every time he got to the second page, Yu Yaoming almost couldn't hold on any longer, but he persevered until the third page. The fourth page is GG, which Yu Yaoming didn't read much.

Page five was incredibly exciting; Yu Yaoming read it the most, and it was practically worn out from being flipped through so many times. Boss Lu was furious. "You should treat books with more care when you read them."

"It should be cherished..." Yu Yaoming was very surprised. Apart from Tang Shijiang on the third page, the characters on the other pages were actually moving. They could move!

Boss Lu paused on the fifth page for a moment. Suddenly, the women in the book disappeared, and the original photos were replaced by the bookstore lobby, where a man in a jacket was standing.

"He's here." Boss Lu frowned slightly.

Yu Yaoming stared at the man for a long time. He couldn't recognize his face, but he felt that the jacket was somewhat common in Outer State. "Is that Li Qi?"

Boss Lu nodded and said, "It was him. He came in from the bookstore in Outer State."

"Li Qi is here at this time?" Yu Yaoming found it hard to understand, and Boss Lu was also puzzled. Boss Lu went downstairs and circled the third row of bookshelves twice.

Logically, after bypassing the bookshelves, Boss Lu should have arrived at his shop in Outer State. However, looking at the situation outside, he realized he was still in Green Water City. This situation was not unusual; within Pro State, Boss Lu could go wherever there was Lu Family Bookstore.

However, if you leave the Pro State region, you have to look at the Three Heads Junction pattern.

The current situation at Three Heads Junction is very special; there isn't even a gap on the boundary line, so Boss Lu can't get through. He has to use some special methods.

He took out two documents from under the counter, stamped them with the Imperial Jade Seal, carried one document with him, and stuffed the other outside the bookstore.

He returned to the first row of bookshelves, stood there for a moment, then circled the third row of bookshelves twice. When he came out from between the two rows of bookshelves again, Boss Lu had already arrived at the shop in Outer State, and Li Qi was standing next to the bookshelf at the door.

"Seventh Master, I apologize for not greeting you sooner!" Boss Lu clasped his hands in greeting.

Li Qi returned the greeting and said directly, "I have something I want to ask you. I was originally looking for a suitable day, but after checking the almanac, today seems quite suitable." Boss Lu pondered for a moment, then turned around and looked at the almanac as well.

I must say, today is a really good day!

The two sat down in the hall. Boss Lu had prepared wine and tea. Li Banfeng asked, "I heard from Lao Luo that you went to the Flower Immortal Manor. What was it about?" Boss Lu stared at Li Qi for a moment, then simply retorted, "You didn't know about this?"

Li Banfeng shook his head. "If I knew, I wouldn't be asking you."

Boss Lu remained silent for a moment, preparing to uncover clues through indirect questioning and repeated probing. Now, it seemed that things were about to be clarified in just a few words.

When they were discussing writing, Li Qi once advised Boss Lu that good works should have fewer twists and turns.

Rather than cause further misunderstandings, let's just clarify things. "I had a bit of a grudge against Du Wenming, so I put a mark on him. I don't know who helped Du Wenming remove the mark and buried it in the Flower Immortal Manor."

"What kind of markings?"

Boss Lu glanced at the bloodstained character "Zhou".

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "I've never seen this mark before, and my men haven't seen Du Wenming recently either. But since the mark appeared at the Flower Immortal Manor, it proves that this matter is aimed at me. I will pay more attention."

As they spoke, Boss Lu kept watching Li Banfeng's expression. Li Banfeng didn't offer any further explanation and got up to take his leave.

Boss Lu gave a reminder: "Du Wenming's cultivation has improved greatly, Seventh Master, please be careful." Li Banfeng thanked him and left the bookstore.

Boss Lu walked around the second row of bookshelves twice, looked out the window, and realized he was still in Outer State, unable to Three Heads Junction.

"I thought I could save myself a document." He took out the remaining document from his pocket, stuffed it outside the door, walked around the second bookshelf twice, and then returned to Green Water City. Upstairs, Boss Lu told Yu Yaoming, "You guessed right, this has nothing to do with Li Qi."

Yu Yaoming said, "Didn't Li Qi come here to warn you?"

Boss Lu shook his head and said, "If he were secretly helping Du Wenming, he wouldn't have left the documents at the Flower Immortal Manor. If he wanted to threaten me openly, he couldn't deny it."

Now it seems he wasn't the one who did it. So who was? Ding ding~

The bell rang, signaling that someone had arrived at the bookstore.

Boss Lu picked up a magazine from the bookshelf and flipped through it page by page.

Turning to the last page, Boss Lu saw the scene in the lobby on the first floor. "So, customers have come to buy books!"

Yu Yaoming paused for a moment. "I heard the bell downstairs a long time ago. You've been flipping through it for so long, I think you just want to read a magazine!" If it were an ordinary person, Boss Lu might not have paid any attention, but today's customer was someone of some status, Ling Miaosheng from Wonderful Sound Phonograph Store.

Boss Lu went downstairs and walked straight to the counter, smiling as he said, "Mr. Ling, are you here to buy sheet music?" Ling Miaosheng nodded and picked out a few sheets of sheet music, some of which contained Western music and some of which contained traditional music.

According to Boss Lu's impression, Ling Miaosheng did not usually study traditional Chinese music. "Mr. Ling, you've fallen in love with the good things from our ancestors."

Ling Miaosheng nodded and said, "The things passed down from our ancestors are indeed good. I recently met two friends who are proficient in all kinds of instruments, except for the erhu. I'll buy two music scores and study them with them..."

Halfway through her sentence, Ling Miaosheng suddenly felt dizzy.

Boss Lu quickly helped Ling Miaosheng sit down. "Boss Ling, are you ill?"

Ling Miaosheng shook her head. "I don't know what's wrong. Maybe it's because of the cold weather these past two days and I caught a cold." Boss Lu didn't say anything. Ling Miaosheng's condition didn't seem like a cold, but rather like an internal injury.

After sitting for a while, Ling Miaosheng recovered and took the sheet music back to the record store. He went into his room, put on a record, and listened quietly.

These are records sent from Amikan Country, a total of more than a dozen, each with different music. Hidden within them are his memories of Amikan Country. He had told Li Qi that once the records arrived, his memories would return. However, Ling Miaosheng listened to them dozens of times but couldn't recall anything.

After listening to two songs, Ling Miaosheng was about to put on the third record when the waiter came to report that Mr. Yang Shaofeng and Mr. Cai Weiming had arrived.

Yang Shaofeng and Cai Weiming were aliases for Bai Wusong and his henchman Bai Xinsheng. Ling Miaosheng was waiting for these two people, so he quickly instructed the waiter to invite them in. "Gentlemen, why are you here so early today?"

Bai Wusong clasped his hands and said, "Mr. Ling, we have come to say goodbye today."

Ling Miaosheng was stunned. He and Bai Wusong got along exceptionally well, spending every day together studying music lately. Ling Miaosheng was truly reluctant to see Bai Wusong leave. "Are you two in such a hurry to leave? Is there something I've done wrong in my hospitality?"

Bai Wusong took out an envelope from his pocket. "It is my blessing to have a confidant in my life. It is my good fortune to have been helped by Mr. Ling when I was down on my luck. Please accept this small token of my appreciation as our food and lodging expenses during this period."

Ling Miaosheng took the envelope and saw a thick wad of banknotes inside. "Gentlemen, this is too much for me. I eat simple meals every day, how could I possibly argue with you?" "I don't know how to repay your kindness, sir. If you don't even accept this small token of my appreciation, I will feel terrible."

Bai Wusong was sincere in offering the gift, but Ling Miaosheng refused to accept it no matter what. "Gentlemen, please forgive my impertinence, but could you please tell me where you are? This way, I can know the way when I visit you again in the future."

Bai Wusong hesitated for a moment, then decided to tell the truth, "Now that things have come to this, if I were to conceal it any longer, I would truly be ashamed of the kindness you have shown me, sir."

"To tell you the truth, my name is not Yang Shaofeng, and my disciple's name is not Cai Weiming. My name is Bai Wusong, and we are both members of the White Crane Gang."

Ling Miaosheng knew about the White Crane Gang, a sect specializing in body cultivation. The name Bai Wusong also sounded familiar, but after his trip to Inner Amikan Country, his memory had been damaged, and he couldn't remember who Bai Wusong was.

"Are you two planning to return to the sect?"

Bai Xinsheng lowered his head and said, "I wish I could go back to the sect." It seemed that Bai Xinsheng did not want to leave Green Water City.

Bai Wusong glared at Bai Xinsheng and Ling Miaosheng, "To be honest, we don't plan to go back to the sect. We plan to go to Snake Bridge Village."

I'm sure Boss Ling knows the origins of the White Crane Gang. I am a Transformation Evolved Body Cultivator, and my disciple is Transformed Body Cultivator. From the day I joined the sect, I've believed one thing: all body cultivators in the world are our fellow disciples.

The other day, I learned that Mr. Li Qi had settled a group of my fellow disciples in Snake Bridge Village. These disciples were people who had suffered in Three Heads Junction. I wanted to help them, otherwise I wouldn't be in this situation...

Bai Wusong stopped halfway through his sentence.

He genuinely wanted to help the Three-Headed People of Three Heads Junction. He Shut-in Cultivator in order to find a way to break the boundary; otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up inside it.

He couldn't continue the conversation, so Bai Wusong sighed and said, "I know I'm not very capable. When we get to Snake Bridge Village, I'll do whatever I can, even if it's just odd jobs, I'll be happy to do them."

Ling Miaosheng secretly admired him. He had traveled to many places, both in Pro State and Outer State, and people like Bai Wusong were extremely rare. Putting aside everything else, how many body cultivators in this world would consider Three-Headed People as a fellow disciple?

Ling Miaosheng, "I also have a connection with Li Qi. How about this, I'll take you both to Snake Bridge Village and ask Li Qi to introduce you." Bai Wusong shook his head and said, "We wouldn't dare trouble you with that, sir. We don't need an introduction. We've already met Li Qi at the record shop."

"It's enough that Mr. Li Qi knows we exist. We're not going to Snake Bridge Village to bother them; we're genuinely going to help." Ling Miaosheng laughed, "I'm quite close to Li Qi, and I also want to lend a hand in Snake Bridge Village. Let's set off today."

"But this business..."

"The business is being managed by someone else, so you two can rest assured."

Ling Miaosheng had her luggage packed. Once everything was packed and the car was ready, just as Ling Miaosheng was about to leave, she suddenly felt a dull pain under her ribs, followed by a feeling of weakness all over her body, and she almost sat down on the ground.

Seeing that Ling Miaosheng's face was pale and covered in cold sweat, Bai Wusong asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"

Ling Miaosheng shook her head and said, "It's nothing serious. It's probably because the humidity has been high these past few days, so I just feel..."

Seeing that Ling Miaosheng was having difficulty speaking, Bai Wusong quickly helped him sit down. "I have some medical knowledge. If you trust me, sir, please let me take your pulse." After taking his pulse, Bai He pondered for a long time and asked Ling Miaosheng, "Have you suffered any internal injuries?"

Internal injury?

Ling Miaosheng thought for a long time, and a memory suddenly crashed into her mind.

"I was indeed injured..." Ling Miaosheng recalled the wound under his ribs, and he also remembered the scene of someone treating him. He was seriously injured and fell to the ground, and an Amican carried him back from the battlefield.

But Ling Miaosheng couldn't remember exactly how she got injured.

Bai Xinsheng didn't want to go to Snake Bridge Village; he really wanted to stay in Green Water City. Now that he saw Ling Miaosheng was injured, Bai Xinsheng quickly said, "My lord is an excellent doctor, especially skilled in acupuncture. Let him treat your illness and recuperate for a month or so; he will definitely be able to heal your internal injuries."

Ling Miaosheng looked at Bai Wusong. Bai Wusong already owed Ling Miaosheng a favor, so he certainly couldn't refuse. "My acupuncture skills have been neglected for many years, and I'm afraid they've fallen into disuse. If Mr. Ling trusts me..."

"I trust you!" Ling Miaosheng clasped her hands in greeting. "Thank you for your trouble, sir." "Not at all," Bai He replied, instructing Bai Xinsheng to prepare for the acupuncture treatment.

Ling Miaosheng asked, "I'm a little afraid of pain. Could I listen to some music while you're applying acupuncture, sir?" Bai He nodded and said, "That's fine."

Ling Miaosheng wasn't really afraid of pain; he had remembered something important and wanted to use the record to retrieve his memories.

With everything prepared, Bai He began administering acupuncture. Bai Xinsheng placed the first record on the record player; the melody was soothing and melodious, and Bai He's needle insertion was steady. After the first song finished, Bai Xinsheng put on the second record; the melody was light and cheerful, and Bai He's mood relaxed considerably.

When the third record was played, the orchestra played in unison, the melody was tragic and solemn, and sweat appeared on the white crane's head.

After a while, the melody became low and somber, as if a power was gathering, and the veins on the white crane's head throbbed.

After a few more moments, the melody grew even more intense. Bai He exerted force with his fingertips, piercing a silver needle half an inch into the ground, causing Ling Miaosheng to flinch in pain. Bai He turned around and angrily rebuked Bai Xinsheng: "Why are you playing this music? Are you deliberately trying to disrupt things?"

Just as Bai Xinsheng was about to change the record, Ling Miaosheng waved her hand and said, "Wait a moment, let me listen for a while longer." Bai He paused the acupuncture treatment, and after listening to the song, Ling Miaosheng said to Bai He, "This is a battle song."

Bai He nodded. "The war songs of the Westerners are indeed quite spirited, which has given me the idea of going into battle."

"Fighting..." Ling Miaosheng remembered something else. "I've fought in wars, many fierce battles, but I can't remember who I fought with." Bai He didn't ask any more questions. He gestured for Bai Xinsheng to change the tune.

Bai Xinsheng changed the record, and Bai He, who was about to administer acupuncture, felt uneasy again. This piece of music was eerie and strange, with its key changing again and again, and its scale constantly fluctuating.

Baihe shook his head and said, "This tune is also unbearable to listen to. It sounds like hundreds of Demons are roaming the streets and alleys."

"Hundreds of Demons!" Ling Miaosheng suddenly looked up. "That's right, hundreds, hundreds of Demons! Demons sent from the Inner State!"...

Li Banfeng returned to his residence, pondering Boss Lu's words and carefully speculating on the hidden meaning behind them. As he thought, a surge of power coursed through his body, causing Li Banfeng to involuntarily shiver.

This power comes from the human energy within his body. Previously at Sea Eat Ridge, Pan Dehai gave the statue of the Seventh Lord to Li Banfeng. Li Banfeng absorbed this human energy, which greatly improved his cultivation. He used the Mad Cultivation Skill at Elbow Mountain and also used the Expand Territory.

The sheer number of fans, coupled with Li Banfeng's lack of promotion, means that this popularity has yet to be fully absorbed.

This was Pan Dehai actively trying to curry favor with Li Banfeng, and it wasn't just this one thing; Pan Dehai had also previously taken Qin Xiaopang as a friend. Thinking of Qin Xiaopang, a clue surfaced in Li Banfeng's mind.

After Qin Tianjiu emerged from the wormhole, his cultivation level improved significantly. Boss Lu had just mentioned that Du Wenming's cultivation had also greatly progressed.

Qin Tianjiu was sent into the wormhole by Boss Lu, so how did Du Wenming's cultivation level improve? Was he also sent into the wormhole by Boss Lu?

How did Du Wenming manage to emerge from the wormhole?

Boss Lu is searching everywhere for Du Wenming, which proves that Du Wenming was not released by Boss Lu. Could it be that he crawled out on his own? Has Du Wenming already gained the ability to leave the wormhole?

He's that strong.

Thinking back on his past grievances with Du Wenming, Li Banfeng sensed impending danger and immediately used Simple Phone to call Luo ZhengNan: "Lao Luo, keep an eye on Du Wenming's movements. This man has been to the Flower Immortal Manor, and Boss Lu went there specifically for him."

Luo ZhengNan immediately led his men to investigate. Li Qi was pondering Du Wenming's whereabouts when he suddenly heard the projector say, "Seventh Director, there's a phone call. It's Shen Jingye calling." Shen Jingye had bought wine and food in his office and was inviting Li Banfeng for drinks. Something good was going to happen today.

Upon arriving at the office, seeing Shen Jingye, Li Banfeng asked, "What good news has happened?"

Shen Jingye smiled and said, "The Dark Star Bureau was saved, partly because you insisted on staying, and partly because something happened to the Outer Dark Star Bureau Outer Bright Bureau. What happened?"

"If the Outer Bright Bureau wants to establish its authority, it should start by targeting the Dark Energy Organization Hundred Demons Workshop."

Actually, the Hundred Demons Workshop is a fairly honest organization, but the Outer Bright Bureau) doesn't know how to handle things properly and goes too far, which has caused dissatisfaction from many international dark energy organizations and created a very negative impact.

Now that the Hundred Demons Workshop matter is in our hands, the Dark Star Bureau's position is secure. PS: What is the origin of those hundreds of Demons?
