Chapter 377: Chapter 165: Climbing and a Visit

’Only after I achieve the Prison-Suppression Golden Body will I be qualified to take on a Demon Emperor.’

A glint flashed in his eyes.

Prison-Suppression Golden Body!

This was a transformative leap for the Dragon Elephant Prison-Suppression Force.

Achieving the Prison-Suppression Golden Body would not only elevate his Flesh Body’s defense to a transcendent level, but also allow him to manifest a Golden Body Dharma Aspect.

This step was a process of true transformation.

Even if he couldn’t defeat a Demon Emperor or a True Essence Realm Grandmaster, he would at least have the power to contend with them.

’There’s no news yet. I’ll absorb the rest of the Divine True Origin first.’

With a single thought, Fang Xing took out a top-level Divine True Origin and swallowed it whole.

The Longevity Technique began to circulate, absorbing the power of the Divine True Origin.

In just two days, the enhanced Divine True Origin was completely absorbed by Fang Xing.

’My Power has increased by seventy percent... I’m still thirty percent away from reaching the limit.’

Fang Xing did a quick assessment. After consuming the Divine True Origin from a Top Level Demon King and another from a True Gang Peak expert, his Power had increased by seventy percent.

If he had relied on his own Cultivation, it would have taken at least several months, or even half a year, to reach this level.

Even for a genius with his Extraordinary Comprehension and superior Root Bone, progress would require a great deal of time without powerful resources.

He rose and stepped out of the Training Room, then summoned a maidservant to help him bathe and change his clothes.

After bathing and changing into a set of Profound Black Martial Attire, he felt much more refreshed.

As Fang Xing was drinking tea in the main hall of his residence, Hong Luan walked in quickly.

She came before him and bowed. "My Lord, Lord Wei is here to visit."

"Wei Qing..."

Hearing Hong Luan’s report, Fang Xing’s brow furrowed.

Hong Luan looked up at him. "My Lord, do you wish to see Marshal Wei? If not, I can tell them you are in seclusion."

"Who did he bring with him?" Fang Xing asked Hong Luan.

Hong Luan replied, "The other person is Marshal Wei’s Vice Marshal, Sun Jiang."

"Sun Jiang..."

An image of a figure surfaced in Fang Xing’s mind.

He had seen Vice Marshal Sun Jiang once or twice. Though he didn’t know him well, he had some impression of the man.

After taking a sip of tea and thinking for a moment, Fang Xing looked at Hong Luan. "Show them in."

"Yes!"

Hong Luan nodded and immediately turned to leave.

Watching Hong Luan’s retreating figure, Fang Xing tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

’Wei Qing has come calling, and he brought his second-in-command.’

’This has made me rather curious.’

’An opportunity like this is rare.’

Just as Fang Xing was contemplating Wei Qing’s intentions, three figures appeared outside the hall.

Fang Xing came back to his senses and looked over.

Hong Luan and Wei Qing entered the hall, followed by a young man who looked to be in his thirties.

He had sharp brows, bright eyes, and a profound aura.

His Cultivation was at the True Gang Perfection Realm.

Among the Vice Marshals, he was considered one of the very best.

Seeing them enter, Fang Xing immediately rose and greeted them with a smile and a cupped fist. "Welcome, Lord Wei."

Wei Qing smiled and returned the gesture. "Lord Fang, my apologies for this sudden visit. I hope you’ll forgive the intrusion."

"Not at all, not at all. Your presence brings light to my humble home, Lord Wei. Please, have a seat." Fang Xing said with a smile, laying on the flattery.

Wei Qing smiled and sat down. Sun Jiang, who was beside him, stepped forward to salute. "Vice Marshal Sun Jiang, I pay my respects to Lord Fang."

Fang Xing looked at Sun Jiang and smiled slightly. "Lord Sun, there’s no need for such courtesy. Please, have a seat."

"Thank you for granting me a seat, My Lord."

Sun Jiang cupped his fist in salute before taking a seat beside Wei Qing.

"Serve the tea!"

Fang Xing sat down and gave the order. Hong Luan immediately poured two cups of hot tea for them and then discreetly withdrew from the hall.

"Lord Wei, you don’t visit without a purpose. You must be here for a reason, yes?"

Fang Xing asked, looking at Wei Qing.

Wei Qing nodded. "Lord Fang, I have indeed come to ask for a favor. I hope you will lend me your strength."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Fang Xing raised an eyebrow, looking at Wei Qing in surprise.

"What is it you need, Lord Wei?"

Wei Qing looked at him and said with a smile, "This is a matter of official business. A few days ago, Sun Jiang and his men were on a mission in Beiyuan Prefecture and were severely routed by Demons and Monsters. I’ve come to ask you to take action, with Sun Jiang and his men assisting you, to resolve this disaster."

"I have also reported this to Lord Hong, and this is his wish as well."

"Hm?"

’Has this guy really had a change of heart? Or was he just intimidated by Hong Miaojin and now wants to make a genuine effort?’

Hearing Wei Qing’s words, Fang Xing was extremely surprised.

’Wei Qing has such good intentions?’

’This feels a bit surreal...’

Fang Xing held his teacup, his thoughts racing.

’Reporting it to Hong Miaojin is no big deal.’

’And I certainly don’t mind slaying Demons and Monsters.’

’But I just feel that this Wei Qing seems... different.’

’Has he really turned over a new leaf and decided to eradicate the Demons and Monsters?!’

"Lord Fang, the plague of Demons and Monsters in Beiyuan Prefecture is severe. The only question is whether this is a convenient time for you."

Wei Qing spoke again. Fang Xing took a sip of tea and looked at him.

"Since it is Lord Wei who asks, Fang naturally has no problem. What are the specifics of the situation?" Fang Xing looked at Wei Qing.

At that, Wei Qing glanced at Sun Jiang. Sun Jiang immediately understood the cue, stood up, took a file from his Storage Pouch, and approached Fang Xing.

"My Lord, this is the intelligence we have gathered so far."

Sun Jiang handed the file to Fang Xing.

Fang Xing took the file and began to read it carefully.

He finished reading the few pages of the file quickly.

The situation described within was indeed brutal.

There were indeed many Demons and Monsters in Beiyuan Prefecture.

The most severe problem area was a County Town within Beiyuan Prefecture.

Beiyuan Pass!

This County Town was an important pass connecting to other prefectures, but it was now completely controlled by Demons and Monsters.

Now, the city had become a nest for Demons and Monsters.

The citizens within had either fled or been killed.

It had become a veritable Demon City! ℴ

And it wasn’t just one Demon and Demon Power occupying this Demon City, but multiple Demon and Demon Powers sharing it.

According to the file, a total of four major Demon and Demon Powers occupied the city of Beiyuan Pass.
