CHAPTER 500: CHAPTER 238 WHAT ARE YOU RESEARCHING?

Fang Yu’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

He began to realize why the Crimson Hammer Giant Ape Spirits were willing to seek refuge with him.

It wasn’t just because they were impressed by his strength.

Rather, it was their keen senses smelling some dangerous Qi, seeking a backer in advance.

Their options for a backer were limited, and after knowing there was someone above him, they chose to seek refuge with him for protection.

A smart choice.

Everything suddenly made sense.

But the Crimson Hammer Giant Ape Spirit, now seen through by Fang Yu, remained calm in demeanor.

"Lord, I am just seeking a chance for self-preservation for myself and my brothers below. A storm is approaching, and one needs to hold on to a big tree."

Fang Yu chuckled: "This tree of mine is not very stable."

The Crimson Hammer Giant Ape Spirit also laughed.

"Lord, you are the thickest tree we could find."

Fang Yu’s smile faded.

"I see. As long as you genuinely pledge allegiance, I will not treat you poorly. I’ll find an opportunity to ask about this matter and get back to you with any news."

"Yes! Thank you, Lord!"

The Crimson Hammer Giant Ape Spirit respectfully bowed and withdrew.

Strange Martial Artists, huh...

Fang Yu was puzzled; he hadn’t seen many on the streets.

Of course, perhaps he wasn’t paying much attention to the passersby, since he wasn’t checking everyone’s HP, mostly just scanning past without noticing - which was normal.

Not to mention, his was just a single point of view, while the Crimson Hammer Giant Ape Spirit probably used his subordinates for a thorough investigation.

Foreign Martial Artists, called by the Five Great Families? Or by the Foolish Underworld? Or some other power? The Three major martial arts schools?

Fang Yu was a bit perplexed, after all, he had too little information. He would have to ask Brother Qing sometime to find out.

When it comes to being well-informed, Brother Qing is the one.

Fang Yu sighed.

He thought he had recruited a new follower through personal charisma and strength.

Turns out, it was still thanks to Brother Qing’s influence.

Tap tap!

Just then, a group of people entered the inn from outside.

It was Che Linfang bringing back the dozen or so demons who had escaped.

Fang Yu glanced at the others and waved his hand.

"You can all disperse now."

The Giant Ape Demon brothers, along with Bie Huzi and the others, took their leave, each taking their people away.

No one paid any extra attention to the demons being brought back, even as they cast desperate and fearful glances that were directly ignored.

Being able to enter the Lingyun Inn was already a selection.

Entering the inn but choosing to flee instead of seeking allegiance, having a guilty conscience, behaving like opportunists and turncoats; their fate didn’t need explaining, they truly had it coming.

Once everyone had left, only Che Linfang and her people remained.

"I’ve arranged some people for you."

Fang Yu gestured to the batch of men he had purposely kept.

Che Linfang’s eyes darted around, and she nodded slightly.

Outwardly calm, but inside, she felt inexplicably pleased, stealing another glance at Fang Yu.

As a lynx demon, she did not comprehend what emotions were.

Yet at this moment, an indescribable feeling arose in her heart, which quickly settled down.

"Sister Che Linfang!"

Zhang Xiaoli rushed up, and Che Linfang covered her eyes with her hand.

Everyone knew what Fang Yu was about to do.

"One two three four five... Thirteen in total, fewer than expected."

Che Linfang gave a look to those in charge of the captives.

"Kneel down!"

"Everyone, kneel!"

These people kicked the knees of those still disguised as humans, making them kneel on the ground.

"Lord Blood Demon, I’m innocent! I haven’t done anything!"

"Lord Blood Demon, didn’t you say that as long as we left, you wouldn’t blame us, what does this mean now!"

"Going back on your word, Blood Demon, does this still count as acting like a demon?!"

"Dare to kill me! Lord Red Moon Demon will not let you off!!"

"I am here on the orders of Lord Cloud Sea Demon, Blood Demon, do you dare to touch me? That’s Lord Cloud Se... "

Hiss!!

A head was severed.

That person’s voice came to an abrupt halt.

Boom!!

The headless corpse burst into a Blood Mist, while Fang Yu had already swiftly struck several times, taking its life.

[Expensive Eye Demon:0/1204.]

[System Notification: Congratulations to the player for killing the Expensive Eye Demon, you’ve earned 600 Experience Points.]

[System Notification: Experience points have exceeded 100, totaling an extra 6 attribute points.]

Has it become such a huge cost now, employing a Thousand Blood Demon to spy on the enemy?

However, if they were not of this caliber, it would not be easy to stand out among so many demons and enter this inn.

Fang Yu gave a toothy smile and turned to the others.

[You Junhao:901/966.]

[Gong Yimei:755/809.]

[Chou Jiamu:892/1051.]

[...]

Their health fluctuated around 800-1200.

Ordinary demons only have a few high-ranking subordinates with around two to three thousand health.

Sending those high-ranking subordinates to probe would be something those demons themselves would likely not bear to do.

Thus, the subordinates sent over, able to pass the screening criteria, were naturally around this caliber.

Fang Yu didn’t dawdle this time.

In a flash, he commenced a continuous slaughter.

[System Notification:...gained 420 Experience Points.]

[System Notification:...gained 390 Experience Points.]

[System Notification:...gained 480 Experience Points.]

[System Notification: Experience points have exceeded 100, totaling 13 attribute points.]

Fang Yu had only killed half of them.

The kneeling demons started to burst into Blood Mist and reveal their true forms, each using their skills to try and escape.

Unfortunately, this was Fang Yu’s demon fortress.

The moment they made a move, the subordinates in charge of guarding did not hesitate to suppress them violently.
