Chapter 559: Chapter 266 What Mission_2
Then, following Fang Yu’s arm, Fang Yu was captured like by a trap, absorbed into the Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling far from the ground.
[System Prompt: Detected player is in contact with [Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling], Evil Qi has slightly decreased.]
It appears that continuous contact is the key.
If worn on the body...
Fang Yu looked at the dirty object and immediately abandoned the perilous thought.
For now, let’s wrap it around the arm over the clothes.
After wrapping [soul clothes: Cut Sleeve] around the sleeve, the system prompted again.
It seems that my guess is right, the larger the area of contact and the longer the duration, the better the effect.
Fang Yu felt somewhat happy; at last, there was a solution to the Evil Qi issue that had been troubling him for some time.
Now, I’d like to see who dares to jump out in front of me!
Without the limitation of Evil Qi, I’m going all out in a killing spree! Hmph!
Seeing that the Evil Qi didn’t seem to be completely absorbed at once, Fang Yu didn’t bother with it anymore.
With [soul clothes: Cut Sleeve] wrapped around his arm, Fang Yu shouted towards his second sister’s room.
"Second sister, there’s a mission at Yangshen Hall today, I’m heading out first."
After speaking, without waiting for any reaction from the second sister, he prepared to leave.
But as he turned around, he heard a creak behind him; the sound of the door opening.
"Be careful on your way!"
A crisp sound filled with concern came from behind him.
Fang Yu waved his hand without turning back, as a response.
When he reached the door of his family home, there was someone who had already been waiting there for quite some time.
"Che Linfang?"
That person was none other than Che Linfang.
She had been sitting on the ground just a moment ago, now standing up and patting the dust off her skirt.
"Diao Deyi, has there been any new missions from above?"
What?
You’re asking me?
How would I know!
Nobody came to me!
Even though I’ve become the tail-end demon of this area, I myself have hardly been conscient with it.
And my contact with the higher-ups has been limited to Green Demon only.
Shu Bird Demon and other demons don’t seem to have sought me out directly.
Of course, this is also because I’ve just become a tail-end demon; the other demons haven’t really sent their greetings yet.
Looking at Che Linfang who was expecting a response, he could only shake his head slightly.
"No news from above for now."
Che Linfang immediately frowned slightly.
"That’s strange, with these foreign demons acting so arrogantly, wouldn’t the Great Demons care to intervene?"
Fang Yu was startled.
"What do you mean? Foreign demons causing trouble?"
"Yeah, but it’s not our territory they are targeting, it’s Red Moon Demon and some other demons’ territory they are impacting."
Che Linfang’s face became slightly serious.
"The leader seems to be a demon called [Purple Lichen Snake Demon], quite powerful. I only got the news a couple of days ago."
"These foreign demons seem to want to settle in Tianyuan Town, continuously recruiting forces, acting extremely arrogantly as if someone’s backing them."
"This rapid expansion of their forces, I think Purple Lichen Snake Demon must be planning something big. Regardless, we must subdue their arrogance, or they will think we are easy to bully, and this will never end."
While speaking, Che Linfang sounded indignant, her sense of collective honor quite strong.
She paused, then continued.
"Moreover, this is an opportunity! By taking down the [Purple Lichen Snake Demon] that has bullied other territories, it can greatly enhance your prestige as a tail-end demon, and you can recruit more subordinates. Then you can aim for the Demon Foot level, and I can also benefit from it."
That must be her main motive, wanting herself to climb up.
However...
Fang Yu had a peculiar expression.
"[Purple Lichen Snake Demon] should already be dead."
What?!
Che Linfang’s eyes widened in shock, freezing on the spot.
"Dead? Wasn’t she rampaging at other demons’ places just a few days ago, I heard she even injured and crippled some tail-end demons, how did she suddenly die?? Where did you get this news??"
Che Linfang didn’t understand.
She only got the news from her demons last night.
After all, being defeated by an outsider demon isn’t exactly a glorious thing; few demons would broadcast such news.
Who would have guessed that this piece of news, when reaching Fang Yu, suddenly got an upgraded version.
What the hell is going on here.
Fang Yu, however, just spread his hands open.
"Um, it seems like I killed it. It didn’t see who it was messing with, provoked me, and I casually took it out."
"Ah?"
Che Linfang was dumbstruck once more.
"Ah???"
Her mouth was wide open.
That Purple Moss Snake Demon, who swept through the surrounding demon ranks, recruited several powerful subordinates, and seemed to want to challenge every demon in Tianyuan Town.
That same Purple Moss Snake Demon, who was regarded as nearly invincible by other demons, the unbeatable one.
Now, to casually hear it suddenly died at the hands of Diao Deyi???
"Are you... serious? You really killed the Purple Moss Snake Demon?"
"It shouldn’t be wrong."
Fang Yu even briefly described the appearance of the Purple Moss Snake Demon.
Then Che Linfang fell silent.
Because... every feature matched up.
She looked up, staring blankly at Fang Yu, her words tangling themselves.
"So, so you killed the Purple Moss Snake Demon? It’s already dead? But I, but I already rallied everyone, Crimson Hammer Giant Ape Spirit, Blue Hammer Giant Ape Spirit... all these Great Demons that just joined under you were eager to try. I even contacted Green Smoke Colored Snake Demon, Southern Barbarian Giant Elephant Demon, and Dual-Colored Ink Demon, those three sirs. Although they haven’t replied yet, but if they were to fight for you, they should be willing to move out..."
She had arranged everything.
She had made all preparations.
Everything was in perfect order.
She was just waiting for Fang Yu, the boss, to come over, take a stand, with a big wave of his hand, all demons would set off, tearing apart the outsider demons, creating a spectacle.
The script was all set up.
But now... the strongest demon on the other side, Purple Moss Snake Demon, was already dead at the hands of Fang Yu!
What kind of situation was this!
Che Linfang was bewildered.
This sudden piece of news threw all her plans into disarray.
She thought she had perfectly handled her role as second in command, not knowing how much effort she put in behind the scenes, only for it to be all for naught.
She couldn’t help but look at Fang Yu with a trace of resentment.
"Diao Deyi, can’t you give me a heads up before killing demons? Originally leaving the Purple Moss Snake Demon alive to be slain in front of a public gathering would both build reputation and trust among the demons. Now... "
Che Linfang sighed.
"We can only go after another demon now, remember one called the Seasonal Bloom Demon? Although not as powerful as Purple Moss Snake Demon, it also has quite a reputation. It was said to have injured one of the five attacking demons and even escaped. Among the outsider demons, it made quite a name for itself."
Seasonal Bloom Demon?
That Wood Demon that played dead and I casually killed?
Fang Yu’s face reflected his puzzlement.
"Seasonal Bloom Demon... I’ve also killed that one, they seemed to be together."
Che Linfang: ???
Che Linfang thought she had heard wrong.
"You, you killed Seasonal Bloom Demon too???"
"Yeah, they both came looking for trouble last night."
"What were you doing last night! How could you have provoked these two Great Demons at the same time?? And... you’re saying you killed them in return? Has your strength increased again recently?"
Fang Yu just smiled and remained silent.
Che Linfang, however, was getting a headache.
Even her backup plans had been prematurely destroyed by Fang Yu, something she absolutely did not anticipate.
Among the outsider demons, only a few had suddenly risen in notoriety, after that, are some unknown demons which, even if defeated, wouldn’t boost much reputation.
"I need to think... I need to think about how to handle this. Although Seasonal Bloom Demon and Purple Moss Snake Demon weren’t killed before an audience of demons, their deaths are indeed by your hand, so there’s still room for manipulation."
Che Linfang was wracking her brains like Fang Yu’s manager.
But Fang Yu was carefree.
"How about we let everyone disperse? I also have things to do today, got a task from Yangshen Hall."
"What task!"
Che Linfang’s eyes suddenly lit up.
After finally assembling a team, we can’t really disperse without doing anything, right?
