's eyes, being able to survive in the Land of Death Omen and thrive like a fish in water... Lin Batian must definitely possess the strength to crush Heavenly Lords."Uh oh..."A burst of angry yet paine..."I suppose," Fang Yu said. "I have other urgent matters to attend to right now, so I can't help you for the time being."

"Okay, I understand. I'll contact the Capital Martial Arts Association right away." Zhao Ji said.

Fang Yu nodded.

"Right, Lord Fang. I've followed your instructions and allocated a large amount of cultivation resources to the Frost Cold Palace. This matter has been decided through a conference vote, and it won't be long before the first batch of cultivation resources is delivered to the Frost Cold Palace," Zhao Ji said.

"Good." Fang Yu nodded again.

"Master Fang, your residence...nothing happened, right" Zhao Ji looked at Fang Yu's house and asked.

"It's nothing," Fang Yu replied.

"Well, then I'll get back to work." Zhao Ji said, turning and leaving.

"Who is this person" Lin Batian asked curiously behind the statement.

"I am the president of Huaibei Martial Arts Association," Fang Yu replied.

"What is the Martial Arts Association" Lin Batian continued to ask.

"It's like the Righteous Alliance of our time," Fang Yu said.

Before the two conversed, Fang Yu connected his divine sense to the Dayan Lamp, causing a slight tremor.

Fang Yu immediately connected with the Dayan Lantern using his divine sense and viewed the situation through it.

At this moment, the Dayan Lantern is suspended high above, nearly a hundred meters in the air.

Below it stood an abandoned and dilapidated residential building.

"Found it." Fang Yu smirked, turning to look at Lin Batian. "You just stay here, I'll go myself."

"The Devil Cult existed in our era, it's a heretical sect. I have to go see them." Lin Batian said.

Deeply aware of Lin Batian's temper, Fang Yu didn't say much. He activated the Kongling Ring and silently recited the incantation in his heart.

"Whoosh!"

The two vanished into thin air.

……

Southern China's West, Xiaokeng Development Zone.

This area used to be a residential district. Three years ago, due to urban planning issues, all these houses that had stood for decades were demolished and replaced with a new upscale housing complex.

But due to the developer's issues, the plan suddenly came to a standstill. As a result, the residential area where residents had already moved out was left abandoned.

Fang Yu and Lin Batian appeared precisely at the location of the Dayan Lantern.

Fang Yu grabbed the Dànyǎn Lamp, which was emitting a blue glow, and put it into his storage bag. Then, he completely concealed his aura and slowly landed on the ground.

This is a five-story building, its exterior dilapidated.

Fang Yu and Lin Batian landed on the rooftop, a palpable aura of evil emanating from below.

"There are nineteen cultivators in total, fifteen of whom are at the Foundation Establishment stage, three at the Core Formation stage, and one at the Nascent Soul stage." Lin Batian transmitted his voice to Fang Yu, "Your little maid is not among them."

Fang Yu's brow furrowed slightly.

He swept his spiritual sense across the entire building, confirming that all the cultivators inside were members of the Demon Sect.

However, Ye Shengxue was not among them.

"What should we do now Should we just go for it" Lin Batten asked.

“Of course, since we’re here, I might as well ask some questions.” Fang Yu said.

……

On the third floor, in a dimly lit living room.

"Master Sa, Master Blood Demon just sent a message, asking us to leave Nandou. They will take over capturing the vessel."

A man in black knelt on the ground, speaking to the woman standing by the window.

The woman looked out the window, without speaking.

"The Blood Demon Lord also said that if you are unwilling to leave, he would personally lead someone here...to drive us away," the subordinate trembled and said.

The woman remained silent, but the sudden drop in temperature around her clearly revealed her current mood.

After a few seconds, the woman turned her head.

The subordinates who knelt on the ground dared not speak anymore, their foreheads pressed tightly against the ground, trembling all over.

"You tell him, I'm not only staying in Nandu, but I'll capture the container before he does! When he gets to Nandu, he won't even be able to get a single hair!" The woman's voice was hoarse, her tone icy cold.

"Understood, I'll go right away..." He said, preparing to get up.

Just then, the woman suddenly raised her hand, signaling her men to stand down.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Heavy footsteps could be heard coming up the stairs.

The killing intent on the woman's body, suddenly erupted!

There is no one on the fourth floor at all!

An intruder has entered this place!

"Alert!"

The woman used her qì to amplify her voice, and everyone in the building heard her.

"Tap tap tap..."

At this moment, footsteps became more distinct, coming from the stairs right beside us.

The woman turned her head, looking at the staircase entrance with murderous intent.

This is her temporary hideout for now, she usually hides very well and shouldn't be found!

Soon, a figure appeared from the corner of the stairs and slowly walked down to the third floor.

It was Fang Yu.

Fang Yu looked at the woman in front of him.

Even though there was no light in the living room, Fang Yu could still see her face. She was stunningly beautiful with a captivating figure.

However, she emanated a terrifying aura.

This woman is the one he saw through the memories of a demon cult member, called 'Lady Aya'.

It's obvious she's the leader here.

Upon seeing Fang Yu, the Master's expression shifted subtly.

She didn't expect Fang Yu to actually find this place!

"Where is Ye Shengxue" Fang Yu asked directly, observing the reaction of Lady Sha.

The Grandmaster's gaze faltered for a moment before the corner of his mouth curled into a sneer. "Fang Yu, you've come to me willingly, saving us a lot of trouble."

Noticing this, Fang Yu frowned slightly.

Could it be that Ye Shengxue's matter is unrelated to the Demon Cult

Who exactly controlled Ye Shengxue's mind

But right now, Fang Yu wasn't deep in thought.

"Since you even know my name, why don't you know what I've done" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Of course, I know what you've done," Lady Sha smiled. "The newly promoted Martial Saint Chen Luo, was defeated and killed by you in public... Perhaps many people haven't seen your true form, but the name 'Fang Yu' must have been heard."

"So, why are you bothering me" Fang Yu asked.

"Because, Chen Luo, in my eyes, is not strong at all." Sa's smile became even more radiant, but the coldness in her eyes made her smile chilling.

The so-called martial sage is nothing more than a mere Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

In her eyes, a cultivator like Chen Luo who had just been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage and whose cultivation was still unstable, was not worth mentioning at all.

Only those frogs at the bottom of the well would be so shocked to see someone defeat a nascent Nascent Soul stage cultivator like Fang Yu.

"Well, you seem quite confident," Fang Yu smiled and said, "Since you know my name, I should at least know yours, right"

"Of course, you are already a dead man." Sharen let out a sinister laugh, "My name is Sha Hong, one of the helm leaders of the Huaibei branch of the Demon Cult."

"Huaibei Branch, one of the helmsmen... It seems that your Demon Cult is doing quite well now, it's quite a large scale." Fang Yu said.

"Every piece of information you know could kill you." Sharo said, her right hand clenching into a claw. Her fingernails glowed red and rapidly grew, becoming as sharp as daggers.

As she began to work, Shahong's brow furrowed.

She had just used her qi to amplify her voice, warning the men downstairs. Why weren't they responding at all

"Bang!"

Just at that moment, a sound came from the balcony on the third floor.

Another figure walked in from outside the balcony.

"Fang Yu, this is the last time! As the mighty Lord of the Sky, I have my dignity! You can't expect me to always be the one responsible for dealing with those insignificant minions!" Lin Batian roared angrily.

"Alright, I'll leave this one to you. Her name is Sahong, a leader of the Demon Cult." Fang Yu said.

"Not bad." Lin Batian nodded in satisfaction and walked forward.

At this point, Sahara had understood that besides the subordinate who was paralyzed with fear on the ground beside her, all the other subordinates had been dealt with.

But she always thought of her subordinates as trash and never considered they could be of any help.

She had expected this outcome.

"To my surprise, the Demon Sect has managed to survive until today." Lin Batten walked in front of Sha Hong and said.

"Zzzzt!"

Sha Hong didn't say a word. Like daggers, her five finger nails shot towards Lin Batian's chest!

Lin Batian's face remained unchanged, and his body suddenly burst forth with a surge of true energy.

"Boom!"

The power generated by this true qi was beyond Sha Hong's expectations, sending her flying backwards directly.

"Bang!"

Shahong slammed heavily against the wall, nearly shattering it completely!

A trace of blood flowed from Shahong's lips.

Casting her gaze back upon Lin Batten, a glimmer of shock appeared in her eyes.

Just from that one blow, she knew that Lin Batian's cultivation was no weaker than hers, even stronger!

Lin Badatian's cultivation level is very likely above the Nascent Soul stage!

Sha Hong's face changed, and she quickly made a decision.

She gently patted the storage pouch at her waist, a pill appearing in her hand which she swallowed immediately.

At the moment she swallowed the pill, Sahara's eyes widened and her pupils were bloodshot.

wisps of black air gushed out from her body, swirling around her.

"Boom!"

With a deafening boom, Sa Hong's aura surged dramatically, escalating to a level several notches higher!

"Ah..."

She gritted her teeth, a roar building in her throat, her fists clenched tight, her aura reaching its peak.

The whole building is shaking violently!

In just a few seconds, the cultivation aura on Sha Hong's body surged from the late stage of the Nascent Soul period to the Divine Transformation period!

"Sure enough, he's a demon cultivator, even daring to take such a growth-accelerating pill." Lin Batten's hand flashed with white light, revealing a paper fan, "I haven't fought a demon cultivator in a long time. I hope you can give me some fun."uncontrollable.""There's no need to rush. I still have some questions for her... if she remembers anything." Fang Yu said.He put the unconscious Han Miao Yi temporarily into his storage space.Then, he...
