Chapter 446: Chapter 185: Sweep and Eruption

It was an Evil Cult he was familiar with: the Void Sect.

Though its power was no match for the Demon Palace, it still had a Celestial Martial Saint Level existence presiding over it.

The Void Sect Leader, who could also be called the Void Saint Master.

Publicly, there were three Void Saint Masters.

Each one was a Martial Saint Level existence.

Besides them, the only Demon Dao faction was a Demon Path Upper Sect called the Yellow Springs Sect.

The three Martial Dao Upper Sects, the Demon Palace, the Evil Cult’s Void Sect, plus the Demon Dao’s Yellow Springs Sect.

A four-way struggle.

A hundred years ago, the Liang Court could have been considered one of those powers. However, the Emperor of the Liang Kingdom at the time suffered an unknown injury, causing his vitality and blood to drain away and decay, and he eventually perished.

From then on, the Liang Court never recovered.

Without a Celestial Martial Saint Level existence presiding over them, they stood no chance of contending with the other powers.

Although the Liang Kingdom still existed, it had, in reality, been completely stripped of its power.

From the ministers in the imperial court down to the officials in the County Yamens, nearly everyone had been carved up and divided among the various factions.

The only reason it hadn’t been completely destroyed was likely due to the Upper Country, Great Jing.

Although it existed in name only, it was still nominally the Liang Kingdom. If it were to completely collapse, things would be different.

’No wonder it’s so chaotic...’

Having learned the general situation, Fang Xing had a rough understanding.

This kind of chaos didn’t form overnight; it was the result of a long-term accumulation of problems.

In the end, it was because the Liang Court had no successor.

The Celestial Human Realm—that was the dividing line.

Having a Celestial Martial Saint in charge versus not having one were two completely different situations.

A pillar of the state!

Although some parts of Great Jing were chaotic, it was, on the whole, centrally governed, and the Court’s authority remained intact.

Minor chaos couldn’t affect the grand scheme of things.

The Liang Kingdom was different. It had truly descended into an age of chaos and ruin.

However, for him, this chaotic situation was a "golden age."

The more chaotic it was, the more it benefited him!

...

After several rounds of drinks and courses, the meal lasted for a full hour before ending.

From the information provided by Xu Tian, he had basically grasped the entire situation in the Liang Kingdom.

’I’ll start with Ten Thousand Demon Mountain...’

Fang Xing formulated a plan in his mind.

The original plan remained unchanged.

Clear out Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, and then proceed to the next step.

For now, Ten Thousand Demon Mountain was the most suitable target.

Although slaying Demon Kings wouldn’t yield him much of a reward, it would allow him to advance his Martial Arts further.

He would improve his Dragon Elephant Prison-Suppression Force and strengthen his Prison-Suppression Golden Body!

No matter the situation, increasing his strength was the priority. Everything else was illusory.

He would leave the nine Demon Emperors alone for now. Dealing with the remaining thirty-four Demon Kings was practically a sure thing.

Stepping out of the restaurant, Fang Xing looked at Xu Tian. "I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be taking my leave."

Xu Tian cupped his fist, his expression full of respect. "I will see you off, Elder Li."

Fang Xing took a step and quickly vanished without a trace.

Only after Fang Xing had completely disappeared did Xu Tian slowly raise his head. The flush of alcohol on his face had vanished, and his eyes were perfectly clear.

’The Supreme Dao Sect... I wonder if I’ll ever have the chance to make contact again.’

’Forget it. I’ll leave it to fate.’ The thought flashed through his mind, and Xu Tian turned and left.

...

The night was as tranquil as water.

「Ling Province, Red Sun County.」

Crossing hundreds of miles, Fang Xing arrived at his next destination.

Black Wind Mountain!

This was a treacherous mountain within the borders of Red Sun County.

The mountain was over ten thousand feet high, its cliffs so sheer they looked as if they had been cleaved by a blade or chopped by an axe.

There was only a single, winding path leading up the mountain.

Under the bright moonlight, Fang Xing silently arrived at the peak of Black Wind Mountain. Not far away was a cave residence.

With his eyes, he could clearly see the Demon Qi pervading the cave.

The Black Wind Demon King!

His true form was a black bear demon.

Using his Primordial Spirit Projection to investigate, the entire situation within the cave residence became clear at a glance.

SWISH—!

With a flicker of his figure, he vanished from the spot.

Deep within the cave residence, Fang Xing’s figure appeared before a stone bed. His gaze fell upon a burly man sitting on it.

"Who?"

The burly man’s eyes snapped open. When he saw the figure before him, he couldn’t help but freeze in shock.

In the next instant, a massive fist filled his vision as it smashed toward him.

BOOM—!

A spray of blood mist erupted as the head burst like a watermelon.

Shattered with a single punch!

The massive, headless corpse of a bear materialized, taking up more than half of the cave.

BUZZ—!

A brilliant light flashed above the bear’s corpse, and the small, delicate, and terrified Demon Soul of a bear emerged.

Terrified, panicked, and... utterly bewildered!

Before the Demon Soul could react, in the next instant, a fair, clean hand reached out and grabbed it.

The Demon Soul was startled and tried to flee, but a terrifying suction force suddenly erupted. Golden light shone from the fair hand, forming a golden vortex that pulled the Demon Soul in.

"No... don’t!"

"Help me!"

A miserable, terrified scream rang out, but it quickly fell silent.

Fang Xing withdrew his hand. Activating Celestial Extreme Devouring God, he instantly refined the Demon Soul and infused it into his Void Divine Spirit.

Then, he reached out a hand. A blood-stained Demon Core materialized, and he put it directly into his Storage Pouch.

He opened his hand, and a golden flame erupted in his palm. The Sun Golden Flame swept out, and in an instant, the massive corpse of the Bear Demon was refined into nothingness.

Just as he finished dealing with the Bear Demon, two figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave residence.

SWOOSH—!

Before they could make a move, two streaks of golden Flame Sword Qi shot out.

In the next instant, the streaks pierced through the center of their foreheads. With a THUD, they fell to the ground, motionless.

Fang Xing’s expression was calm as he strolled forward.

He repeated the same process: extracting the Demon Cores and refining the Demon Corpses.

The whole process was fluid and seamless.

Afterward, Fang Xing glanced toward the other parts of the cave residence, and with a flicker of his figure, he vanished from the spot.
