I Can Strengthen Everything

Chapter 314: Chapter 147: A Clean Sweep

This battle had also shown him the extent of his current power.

By combining his various Martial Arts and Secret Techniques, he would have no problem at all fighting someone at the Middle Stage of True Gang.

As for the Late Stage of True Gang, however, Fang Xing wasn’t confident.

The only things he had that could contend with that level of power were the Life-taking Demon Saber and the Void Divine Seal.

His other Martial Arts, at their current level of Cultivation, were still far from sufficient.

’This is no place to linger. I should head back to Qing Province first.’

Retracting his gaze, Fang Xing vanished from the temple entrance.

’I can sort through my gains once I get back.’

The rewards from his first battle in Qing Province were even greater than he had anticipated.

On the strength of this battle, his position as a temporary Demon Suppression Envoy was now much more secure.

Results were all that mattered!

...

「Qing Province, The Observatory.」

Several Marshals were gathered together, all looking at Hong Miaojin, who sat in the seat of honor.

They had all been fully briefed on the situation in a certain county within South County.

A major incident had occurred in Yunling, a county under the jurisdiction of South County.

The Demons and Monsters of Yunling County had been almost completely wiped out in a single day. From the highest Demon Kings to the lowest Demons and Monsters, virtually none were left.

Any Demons and Monsters that might have survived had already fled Yunling.

"Your Excellency, there are rumors circulating that our Observatory was responsible for the annihilation of the Demon Kings in South County. Should we issue a clarification?"

Marshal Wu Jiang asked, looking up at Hong Miaojin in the seat of honor.

Hong Miaojin raised an eyebrow and looked at the Marshal who had spoken. "Clarify? What is there to clarify? Since when has the Observatory ever needed to explain itself to outsiders?"

"..."

Hearing the sharp edge in Hong Miaojin’s voice, the Marshals exchanged glances.

Wu Jiang took a deep breath. Looking at Hong Miaojin, he clasped his hands in a salute. "Your Excellency, that is not what I meant. The situation is tense. If this was the work of a Martial Dao Upper Sect, and our Observatory is forced to take the fall, the Demon Alliance will likely focus all their firepower on us. That would put us at a great disadvantage."

"Then do you believe the Observatory was responsible?" Hong Miaojin glanced at Wu Jiang.

"Well..."

Wu Jiang was at a loss for words. A few names flashed through his mind. ’To single-handedly annihilate four Demon Kings, one of whom was a Middle Realm Demon King... besides Her Excellency, only a few of the Vice Marshals possessed such power.’

However, those individuals were all apparently within the Observatory and had not been dispatched.

’Even though the rumors link this to the Observatory, the only ones with this kind of power seem to be them.’

’No, wait! There’s one more person!’

Suddenly, inspiration struck Wu Jiang as a figure materialized in his mind.

’Demon Suppression Envoy, Fang Xing!’

’Although his Cultivation is only at the True Gang First Layer, rumor has it he’s cultivated an incredibly powerful Divine Skill, and his strength far surpasses his supposed level.’

’Back when he was only in the True Qi Realm, he was able to go head-to-head with a True Gang prodigy from a Martial Dao Upper Sect.’

’It became the stuff of legends.’

’Even though I don’t know much about Fang Xing, he was the first person in history to make it onto the Hidden Dragon List with just a True Qi Cultivation.’

’That’s not something to be taken lightly!’

’Could it really have been Fang Xing?’

As his thoughts raced, Wu Jiang looked up at Hong Miaojin and asked tentatively, "Your Excellency, have you... heard something?"

Hong Miaojin simply looked at him without a word and took a quiet sip of her tea.

’So it was most likely him...’

’This man’s strength is truly that of a Demon Fiend! He can even slay a Middle Realm Demon King. Given time, what will he become?!’

Wu Jiang’s heart trembled.

At that moment, Wei Qing suddenly asked, "Your Excellency, why isn’t Lord Fang here?"

"He went to take care of something. Mmm, he should be arriving shortly," Hong Miaojin said lightly.

’Take care of something...’

Hearing this, Wei Qing and the other three Marshals exchanged a look.

"Ah, he’s here now."

Just then, Hong Miaojin suddenly spoke and rose to her feet, her eyes lighting up.

Hearing her words, the four Marshals turned their gazes in unison toward the entrance of the hall.

A moment later, a young man dressed in Profound Black Martial Attire appeared at the entrance.

"Oh? Everyone’s here. What a full house," Fang Xing said with some surprise as he walked into the hall and saw the assembled Marshals.

He looked toward Hong Miaojin. She gave him a slight nod, and Fang Xing instantly understood what she meant.

"Your Excellency, I was fortunate enough to complete the mission. Here are the heads of the Demons and Monsters."

As he spoke, Fang Xing took out a Storage Pouch and handed it to Hong Miaojin.

Hong Miaojin glanced at the pouch before opening it.

In an instant, the floor was covered with the heads of Demons and Monsters.

More than ten heads in total.

The four Marshals’ eyes were immediately fixed on the heads covering the floor.

Each of the dozen-plus heads emanated a powerful aura.

With their level of Cultivation, they could perceive the truth of it all at a single glance.

The weakest among them belonged to Top-Notch Great Demons, and four of the heads were from Demon King Level beings.

Furthermore, one of them was a Middle Realm Demon King.

Now, there was no need to guess. The one who had shaken South County to its core was undoubtedly Fang Xing.

Staring at the heads strewn across the floor, the hall fell completely silent.

Hong Miaojin swept her gaze over the four Marshals and asked coolly, "Do you have any other questions?"

"..."

Gazing at the heads of the Demons and Monsters, the four Marshals remained silent.

’What else was there to ask? The proof was laid out right in front of them.’

Seeing the four Marshals’ silence, Hong Miaojin waved her hand, gathering the heads back into the Storage Pouch and handing it to Fang Xing.

A broad smile spread across her face as she said, "Lord Fang, you’ve worked hard. I’ve already notified the Celestial Hall. Just go and turn these in; you won’t be shorted a single point of Merit."

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

Fang Xing clasped his hands in a salute and took his leave.

In the hall, the four Marshals watched Fang Xing’s departing figure, their eyes filled with utter disbelief.
