Chapter 589: Chapter 253: A Big Favor

The Sword Aura, like a bolt of white silk, instantly struck the Carp Demon.

But the Demon Gang on the Carp Demon’s body flashed, and it managed to block the attack head-on. This clearly enraged it. It let out a sharp cry like a wailing infant. The sound had incredible Penetration Power; those with weaker Cultivation would likely have become dizzy and disoriented at once.

It quickened its pace and immediately engaged in battle with Mu Changge, who was blocking its path!

Mu Changge’s longsword moved like a flowing ribbon of silk, exuding a heaven-shaking chill.

Meanwhile, the Carp Demon’s body pulsed with gold and Silver Light, its two sharp claws slashing through the air like the wind, its presence utterly ferocious.

Qin Fang’s pupils contracted. He hadn’t expected Mu Changge to actually choose to intercept this True Blood Great Demon.

"Senior Brother, go! Hurry!"

When Mu Changge saw Qin Fang still lingering in the distance, he immediately shouted.

Qin Fang pressed his lips together and said no more. He turned, transformed into a streak of Gang Light, and shot into the distance.

"Senior Brother, hold on for just a moment!"

With those words, he was already flying away.

He had a map of Jinlan Prefecture in his mind, so he knew that Sanshi County was not too far away. Pushing his Mirror Flower Water Moon technique to its absolute limit, he crossed numerous mountain ranges in the blink of an eye, heading straight for the County Government Office.

As Mu Changge fought, he kept an eye on Qin Fang’s movements. ℯ𝐥.

Once he saw that Qin Fang was a safe distance away, he let out a long breath. His eyes glinted as he looked at the True Blood Carp Demon, which was still frantically brandishing its sharp claws.

’I never thought you’d end up being such a great help to me...’

he thought, his eyes narrowing.

’Qin Fang is a First Hall True Inheritance disciple of the Heavenly Gang Wuji Sect.’

’He must be carrying a War Gang Avatar from one of the Heavenly Gang Wuji Sect’s Hall Masters.’

’A direct approach probably won’t work.’

’So... I have to use a softer touch.’

’Qin Fang had killed quite a few Demons on his journey, freezing them solid every time. That’s how I was able to follow their trail and find him several days ago.’

’But I didn’t show myself right away... The timing just wasn’t right.’

’I’ve been watching him from the shadows.’

’Every time I saw him effortlessly slay those Demons with his Profound Nether Nature, my heart would pound with desire.’

’Finally... I found my chance tonight.’

’He killed three Demons, and I immediately jumped out to befriend him.’

’...Of course, every part of my performance during this process was meticulously designed.’

’The goal was to make Qin Fang gradually trust me, and eventually, become my friend...’

’...I don’t know where his great opportunity came from.’

’If he didn’t have that Hall Master’s War Gang Avatar, I could have just captured him and interrogated him slowly.’

’But with that War Gang Avatar... As arrogant as I am, I don’t believe I could destroy the War Gang Avatar of a Sixth Realm Powerhouse.’

’So, the best way is to become his friend first.’

’Once we’re friends, I’ll have an excuse for whatever I need to do in the future.’

’For example... I could later visit the Heavenly Gang Wuji Sect and interact with him as a friend, and eventually, I could slowly figure out his secrets.’

’...The truth is, I’m desperate to get my hands on his opportunity.’

’But I know that haste makes waste.’

’I thought this whole ’making friends’ process would be more complicated... For instance, I had already planned to leave at an opportune moment... Being too friendly might have made him suspicious.’

’...After all, he’s going to be here for quite a while.’

’I could always just manufacture a few more ’chance encounters’ later on...’

’With the ’groundwork’ from our first meeting, becoming his friend later would have been a natural progression.’

’My deliberately entering the cave earlier was, of course, just to ’farm goodwill’...’

’...but I never expected to get such a ’pleasant surprise’!’

’...Encountering a True Blood Realm Great Demon, and I get to stay behind to fight it alone, giving him the chance to escape for his life...’

’After an experience like this, how could he possibly still be wary of me?’

A smile touched the corners of his lips.

He was in an excellent mood!

He was already in the Fifth Realm, and a genius at that. This True Blood Realm Carp Demon didn’t actually pose much of a threat to him.

’However... to make him even more ’grateful’...’

he thought, his eyes narrowing as he continued to engage the Great Demon.

Pushing his speed to the absolute limit, it wasn’t long before a great city appeared on the horizon.

It was the County Government Office of Sanshi County!

Even though it was night, the County Government Office was bustling. Soldiers lined the city ramparts, their torches burning brightly.

Besides the Soldiers, Qin Fang also saw some people in the attire of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, also on the ramparts.

Qin Fang’s arrival as a streak of Gang Light immediately drew the attention of some of the people below.

They all looked up, their brows furrowed.

Qin Fang came to an abrupt halt above the ramparts, revealing his form. "Heavenly Gang Wuji Sect disciple Qin Fang, here to request reinforcements!" he called out. "A True Blood Realm Great Demon has been discovered in the wilderness three hundred li to the east! Mu Changge of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect is fighting it as we speak!"

He got straight to the point, his voice echoing across the ramparts.

"What?"

Everyone below was stunned, their faces filled with horror.

"A True Blood Great Demon?"

"And Senior Brother Mu Changge is fighting it?!"

A clamor of voices rose up.

But in the next moment, a figure shot through the air and appeared before Qin Fang. With a grave expression, he said, "I am Cui Daoheng, an Elder of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect. Nephew Qin, is it true? Is there really a True Blood Great Demon?"

"Greetings, Senior Cui. Yes. Senior Brother Mu Changge and I discovered the Demon by accident in a cave. My Cultivation is insufficient, so Senior Brother Mu had me come for reinforcements while he holds off the Great Demon... It’s a True Blood Ling Carp."

Qin Fang explained quickly, his hands clasped in a salute.

Elder Cui of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect focused his gaze. "Thank you, Nephew Qin. In that case, I will go ahead to help slay the Demon. We can speak in detail when I return."

Without another word, Elder Cui gave a quick salute and, without a moment’s hesitation, transformed into a streak of Gang Light, shooting straight to the east.

Qin Fang didn’t linger either. With a flicker of movement, he followed right behind.
