I Can Strengthen Everything

Chapter 228: Chapter 123: The Demon Saber’s Overwhelming Rampage

Lin Xiong stepped out of the courtyard and onto the street. As his gaze swept the area, a young man hurried over to him.

"My lord!"

The young man bowed. Lin Xiong looked at him and said in a low voice, "Keep an eye on their movements. Report any developments immediately."

"Understood."

The young man nodded, glancing at the courtyard where Fang Xing was staying.

Lin Xiong said no more. After giving the order, he left. He failed to notice, however, a transparent, illusory figure in the air tailing him.

After crossing several streets, Lin Xiong arrived in front of a mansion and went inside.

Inside the mansion, Lin Xiong went to the main hall and sat for a moment. Soon, a skinny young man came before him.

"What are your orders, my lord?"

The skinny young man’s face was full of respect.

Lin Xiong looked at the skinny young man before him and said in a grave voice, "Go pass on a message. Say that someone from the higher-ups has arrived. Cultivation: True Qi Realm Seventh Layer. He came alone."

Hearing this, the skinny young man nodded, then turned and left the hall.

Meanwhile, from an unseen position to the side, an illusory figure watched the scene unfold before following the departing skinny young man.

...

Fang Xing controlled his Yin God and tailed the man. Soon, he had followed the skinny youth to a manor on the outskirts of the city.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!!!

At the manor gate, the skinny young man lightly tapped the door knocker three times. The gate swung open, and he immediately entered.

’So this is the Black Death Sect’s hiding place...’ Fang Xing mused, looking at the manor before him.

He didn’t enter the manor. Instead, he used his powerful Power of Mental to probe the area. From within the estate, he sensed several potent auras.

"Hm?"

’Four auras?’

As he sensed them with his Power of Mental, Fang Xing was inwardly surprised.

’No, that’s not right. Among them is the aura of a Top-Notch Great Demon!’

After discerning the auras more carefully, Fang Xing quickly noticed something was different.

In addition to three powerful human Martial Artists, there was also the aura of a Top-Notch Great Demon.

’The intel didn’t mention this.’

’Could the Black Death Sect be working with Demons and Monsters?’ The thought surfaced in his mind.

At this thought, Fang Xing grew excited.

’Three Martial Artists at True Qi Realm Perfection, plus one Top-Notch Great Demon.’

’This is going to be a huge haul!’

Gazing at the manor, Fang Xing had his Yin God turn back.

’Confirming their auras is enough.’

’There’s no need to risk my Yin God.’

The Yin God vanished, speeding back toward his physical body.

At that same moment, deep within the manor, a huge subterranean chamber housed a massive pool. It was filled not with water, but with a silvery, mercury-like liquid.

SPLASH—!

The calm pool of mercury suddenly roiled as if it were water, and a behemoth emerged.

It was a Blood-Colored Python, the color of fresh blood.

Its body was as thick as a water bucket, and its two eyes, like lanterns, radiated a grim, icy aura.

VMMMM—!!

Just then, the heavy stone door to the secret chamber slid open, and a figure stepped inside.

It was an old man with white hair but a youthful face and a ruddy complexion. He approached the Blood-Colored Python and spoke respectfully, "Brother Python, what happened? Why the sudden disturbance?"

The Blood-Colored Python regarded the old man, flicking its scarlet tongue as it spoke in human tongue, "I believe I just sensed a strange danger signal."

"A danger signal?" The old man was taken aback.

Just as he was about to ask for more details, the old man suddenly took out a silver Sound Transmission Bell.

As he listened to the message from the bell, the old man’s expression hardened.

"Brother Python, something really has happened. Someone from the Observatory is in Black Mountain County!"

"The Observatory!" Demon Qi billowed from the Blood-Colored Python. Its eyes wary, it stared at the old man. "How many?"

"Just one. His Cultivation is at the True Qi Seventh Layer. But rest assured, he’s under surveillance. We’ll be notified of his every move."

At these words, the wariness in the Blood-Colored Python’s eyes faded. It pondered for a moment, then looked at the old man, a greedy, bloodthirsty glint in its eyes. "I’ve heard that the people from the Observatory have exceptionally rich and pure qi and blood. The taste should be exquisite. Perhaps it could help me break through my final barrier."

The old man’s expression changed at this. "Brother Python, I’m afraid that won’t do. A Cultivation at the True Qi Seventh Layer would place him at Commander Level within the Observatory. If we kill him, we’ll attract more of their personnel, and that would be troublesome."

"Besides, Brother Python, the Silver Moon King gave orders not to act rashly."

Upon hearing this, the greedy, bloodthirsty look in the python’s eyes vanished. It looked at the old man. "Fine. I’ll hold back for now."

With that, the python submerged into the pool of mercury and vanished.

Seeing this, the old man turned and left the subterranean chamber.

...

In the great hall of the manor, several figures were gathered.

Just then, the old man with white hair and a youthful face walked in.

All eyes turned to him.

The white-haired old man sat in the empty seat at the head of the table, his gaze sweeping over the others.

"Have you asked? What did the County Magistrate say?"

In response, one person immediately said, "Elder Ye, someone from the Observatory is here. He must have come specifically for our sect."

"The County Magistrate’s suggestion is to hand over a few people to get rid of him."

"That’s one way to handle it," the white-haired old man nodded.

"He’s just one True Qi Seventh Layer. Why not just kill him? It’s not like we and the Observatory can coexist anyway," said another, a burly man.

Before he had even finished speaking, a gray-haired old woman interjected, "No. We’ve only just arrived; our position isn’t stable yet. We should stall for time. It won’t be too late to act once our other operations are secure."
