I Can Strengthen Everything

Chapter 300: Chapter 143: Demon Lord Bai Suzhen, Summoned Gathering

"It seems we’ll have some trouble ahead..." The youth in martial attire’s brow was tightly furrowed.

The man in brocade clothing looked at him and spoke, "Elder, on top of that, Hong Miaojin just announced an appointment. She’s added a new Demon Suppression Envoy."

"A Demon Suppression Envoy!"

The youth in martial attire’s gaze sharpened as he looked at the man. "Who is it?"

"His name is Fang Xing. He arrived with Hong Miaojin."

"Fang Xing..." He muttered the name, which sounded vaguely familiar.

"This person... is he the Fang Xing from the Hidden Dragon List?" the youth in martial attire asked.

The man in brocade clothing nodded. "Yes, that’s him."

"Someone in the True Qi Realm can serve as a Demon Suppression Envoy?" The youth in martial attire looked astonished.

The man in brocade clothing looked at him and said in a low voice, "Elder, his cultivation is no longer at the True Qi Realm. He has already broken through to the True Gang Realm."

"True Gang Cultivation? So fast?!"

The youth in martial attire was stunned.

The man in brocade clothing nodded. "Yes, this news is absolutely true."

The youth in martial attire pondered for a moment, then looked up at the sky. "A mere True Gang Realm is nothing to fear. The main issue is still Hong Miaojin. I’m afraid all of Qing Province is in for a major shake-up."

"Elder, what should we do next?" the man in brocade clothing asked.

The youth in martial attire smiled. "No rush. With the Demon Alliance to keep them occupied, there shouldn’t be any problems in the short term. Let’s wait and see for now."

"Go and continue monitoring the Observatory’s movements. Report back immediately if anything happens."

"Yes!"

The man in brocade clothing nodded, then turned and left.

’Hong Miaojin, Fang Xing...’

’Looks like the Court can’t sit still any longer.’ The youth in martial attire’s eyes glinted. In the next instant, his figure vanished from outside the Quiet Chamber.

...

「Early the next morning.」

Hong Miaojin, with Fang Xing in tow, personally saw Yang Tian out of the city.

Outside Qing Province City, Yang Tian was hunched over, his complexion looking even more haggard.

The aura of death about him had also grown thicker and heavier.

Fang Xing even had the feeling that Yang Tian might not make it back to the Capital City.

"My girl, the situation in the Southern Border is serious, and it’s even worse here in Qing Province. You must be careful in your future actions, or you’ll face great trouble," Yang Tian said, looking at her.

Hong Miaojin nodded. "Rest assured, Elder Yang. I will remember your words and act with caution."

Yang Tian smiled faintly. "This old man will take his leave now."

"Take care, Elder Yang!"

The two of them cupped their fists in salute.

Then, Yang Tian, along with the Steward at his side, transformed into a streak of white light that shot into the sky and disappeared without a trace.

Only after Yang Tian had vanished did Hong Miaojin withdraw her gaze.

"Go check out your new residence and get settled. Come to my mansion later."

"Alright," Fang Xing nodded.

Afterward, the two returned to the city and parted ways at the Observatory.

Hong Miaojin went to the new Commander-in-Chief’s Residence.

Fang Xing also went to his new residence.

’Demon Suppression Mansion...’

’They sure work fast; they’ve already changed the plaque.’ Arriving before the mansion, Fang Xing looked at the brand-new plaque with its large, gilded characters and grimaced inwardly.

’The former resident was barely out the door before they changed it.’

Entering the mansion, he found it had been cleaned spotlessly.

The mansion’s layout and architecture remained unchanged.

Fang Xing didn’t care about such things.

He wasn’t picky about where he lived.

This Commander’s mansion was larger and more stylish than his Qingfeng Villa in Cang Province.

The mansion even had a natural hot spring.

Its waters were constantly flowing.

A top-tier luxury mansion.

After a quick tour, Fang Xing had a general sense of the place.

Just as he was about to leave for Hong Miaojin’s mansion, someone arrived at the entrance.

It was a curvaceous woman in red with exquisite features.

Her cultivation was around the True Qi Sixth Layer.

"This subordinate, Hong Luan, greets Lord Fang."

Fang Xing looked at the woman before him. He was slightly startled, but his expression remained neutral. "What is it?"

"Lord Fang, I was sent by Marshal Wei to serve as the steward of your mansion," Hong Luan replied respectfully.

’A steward sent by Wei Qing...’

Hearing Hong Luan’s words, Fang Xing felt a flicker of surprise.

"Are you satisfied with the arrangement, Lord Fang?" Hong Luan asked, looking at him nervously.

Fang Xing snapped out of it. He scanned her with his Golden Eyes of Truth, seeing through her completely in a single glance. There was nothing amiss. He nodded lightly. "Mm, fine. You’ll be in charge. I’m heading to the Lord Commander’s place now."

’The Demon Suppression Mansion is this large; it really does need someone to manage it.’

He didn’t mind.

’Having someone to serve him would save him the trouble of dealing with trivial matters. Might as well enjoy the perks.’

’With his current cultivation and strength, he could perceive the slightest disturbance, so he wasn’t worried about his abilities being discovered.’

’With his Primordial Spirit Power, he could clearly perceive something as small as a mosquito.’

’As long as the person herself was not a problem, it was fine.’

"Take care, My Lord."

Hong Luan bowed. Watching Fang Xing’s departing back, she let out a sigh of relief.

She then used a Sound Transmission Bell to report to Wei Qing before stepping into the Demon Suppression Mansion.

...

A short while later, Fang Xing arrived at Hong Miaojin’s Commander-in-Chief’s Residence.

When he reached the main hall, Wei Qing and the other three Marshals were also there.

Upon seeing Fang Xing, the four Marshals also greeted him respectfully.

Even a temporary Demon Suppression Envoy was still their superior.

Besides, he was Hong Miaojin’s man; they wouldn’t dare be disrespectful.

Fang Xing nodded and sat down to one side.

"This is the file on Qing Province. Take it back with you and look it over."

Hong Miaojin handed him the file, and Fang Xing put it away.

Fang Xing did not interrupt as he listened quietly to the Marshals’ summary reports.

Qing Province was the largest province in the Southern Border, and the famous Hundred Thousand Mountains were located within its territory.

The Marshals gave a general report on the Nine Commanderies and Twelve Prefectures, giving Fang Xing a rough understanding of the situation in each one.

’Of course, the actual situation is bound to have changed. Of that, there is no doubt.’

’But even if I knew the full truth, it would be difficult to change anything overnight.’

The situation in all of Qing Province was complex. Even if they were to take action, they had to strike at the right spot.

Flipping the whole table was not an option; not even Hong Miaojin could bear the consequences.

The pressure from Demons and Monsters, Evil Cults, and Demon Sects was immense, even for someone at the level of a Commander.

The reports went on for the better part of an hour before finally concluding.

After the four Marshals left, Hong Miaojin bowed her head in thought for a moment before looking at Fang Xing.

"Familiarize yourself with everything over the next few days. After that, it’s time to get to work."

Fang Xing, naturally, had no objections.

’Getting to work is a good thing!’

’He loved getting to work!’

’In his eyes, all these Demons and Ghosts were top-grade Resources!’

’The "perfect Treasure Medicines and Divine Pills" for his advancement!’

’He was desperate to advance!’
